Small rural businesses get a win with new ordinance
Section Volume 15, Issue 29
Turkey Shoot Lions style Jodi Thomas Area Manager The Lions Turkey Shoot this June was on Father’s Day. Around a dozen men and women came together to enjoy the skeet shooting competition at the Lions Equestrian Field on Kirby Rd. in Anza. It’s clay pigeons, not turkeys, that get shot at the Turkey Shoots the Anza Lions Club hosts. Lion Jeff Hawthorn and Lion Chuck Weitlauf make the Lions Turkey Shoot special for all who attend. Quite a few of these competitors come up the hill to compete. They appreciate the chance to get out into the open country and fresh air. They enjoy honing their target skills, shooting off their guns and Lions’ hospitality. “Without the Lions Club members Jeff and Chuck donating their time, we wouldn’t be here shooting. We travel up from Hemet for this event each month. We wouldn’t miss it,” said Fred Mauritho who comes up with a bunch of his friends for the shoot. Hawthorn and Weitlauf stand on a platform in the heat with shade overhead pressing a button to release the clay pigeons being sent from the blind situated ahead of them. Competitors are lined up waiting their turn watching those who will shoot next. As the clay pigeons fly through the air, two competitors standing next to each other shoot at the moving targets. Spectators and the others in line shout words of encouragement after the competitors have taken their shots and they praise the winner. Score is kept and at the end of the shoot a trophy is awarded to the winner in each category. At this shoot there was no youth

County Supervisor Washington holds meeting with Anza Valley constituents Tony Ault Writer Marijuana eradication in the Anza Valley became the main topic of discussion during the Anza Community Meeting with Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington and his staff on June 8 at the Anza Community Center. The meeting, called by the appointed Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Commission, introduced the new supervisor to the community and gave residents an opportunity to ask him about the valley’s particular problems. Many of the approximately 75 residents at the meeting questioned the county’s efforts in eradicating numerous illegal marijuana farms popping up in the valley. One was recently raided and has now reopened, according to several

New Anza Community Hall president brings members up to date in June 22 meeting Noel Donahue Anza Community Hall President President’s Report for June 22, 2015 Introductory Remarks: It has only been three months since this board was elected. Anyone who was at the April 16, Quarterly Meeting will know that we inherited some serious problems. The corporation has been suspended since November 2011, The Franchise Tax Board gave the pre-
vious board 60 days to act or face the loss of its nonprofit status in California. Those 60 days expired before we were seated as a board. The records of this corporation are woefully incomplete. For this tax year which started on October 1, 2014 we were only given records for the month of January & half of February 2015. There were many other areas in which this corporation was not operating within the laws and guidelines for non-profit corporations. We were given a big
job to do and only had six months to do it in, before this fiscal year ends. What We Have Done In Three Months We filed a corrected SI-100 form with the Secretary of State on April 4, 2015. Because more than two months have passed since this form and associated filing fee were mailed without the check being cashed and evidence of the filing being acknowledged by the Secretary of State, on June 10 we
mailed a second copy of the filing and another check. We have also contacted the office of Assemblyman Brian Jones and were offered help from Jordan Marks from the State Board of Equalization which we have accepted. We went to the Bank of Hemet and pulled all the banking records for this fiscal year, opened new bank accounts since we could not confirm that we were given all the

Small rural businesses get a win in Menifee with new ordinance MENIFEE—On June 3, the Menifee City Council conducted a “Second Reading” and formally adopted a new ordinance (Chapter 9.54 Land Use and Business Registration) that is of great significance to the Menifee rural business community. According to Michael Machado, CEO of Irontree Consulting & Mitigation, the new ordinance is making history as one of the only land use ordinances ever created to protect rural American small businesses. According to Jeff Walls, an administrator for Irontree, it all began in March 2014 with a phone call from a Menifee community organizer, Roxann Thompson. Thompson was concerned that the city of Menifee was trying to run the small rural businesses out of the area to make way for more urban development, which was supported by city leaders and County Supervisor Marion Ashley. According to Walls, not only did City Code Enforcement physically visit and cite a large number of these small rural businesses, internally city staff and depart-
ments (Community Development, Finance, Planning, Code Enforcement and Building & Safety) were directed to “rubber stamp” denials of all rural small business license renewals and requests. It really did not matter that a great majority of these businesses had been operating lawfully for decades or not. Nor did it matter that a large number of these same businesses had been issued an approved city license previously or not. Walls indicated, “If our clients could prove that they had a valid city business license, the city would cite them for various ‘land use’ violations and if they couldn’t provide proof of a valid business license our client would be cited for operating without a license and land use violations.” Either way, there was now a recorded ‘code violation’ that would prevent you from having the ability to even get a license through the city. In some instances, according to Walls, some of their clients would play the game. They would pay the trumped up fines and try to correct the alleged violation. Only to find that thousands of dollars spent only
lead them back to having no license and the inability to lawfully operate their business. One such business was the Wooden Nickel Ranch, which was established in 1957 as the oldest operating horse ranch in Menifee and currently owned by former City Councilman Thomas Fuhrman. Irontree was hired by Fuhrman in March 2014 to answer and defend the councilman and his ranch against a 27 count indictment of illegal land use violations, including the boarding of horses. City officials hired special counsel to deal with Fuhrman and ultimately decided not to issue business licenses to any rural businesses that did not have city land use permits. This action prompted a community meeting in Menifee organized by Thompson who contacted AVPORT, an experienced citizen group who supports civil liberties and investigates abuses of code enforcement. AVPORT referred the matter to Irontree which specifically deals with code enforcement issues, on a case by case basis. At that meeting, Machado spoke
to a crowd of about 70 people and businesses being traumatized by the city’s actions. In addition to the citizens and businesses, there were two Menifee city councilmen also in attendance. Machado, an avid supporter of rural America and having dealt with county and city governments on a variety of issues, offered the assistance of the Irontree team of which about 25 businesses retained the firm to help them. Machado advised that Irontree would try to negotiate with city officials and partnered with Rob Johnson, Menifee city manager, to set aside issues and begin to mitigate the various alleged violations regarding compliance on the Wooden Nickel Ranch and many others. Community organizers also asked Irontree to assist in a storage container ordinance equitable to rural cities and businesses. Irontree was able to help author the new ordinance (Chapter 9.16 Metal Shipping Containers as Accessory Storage Facilities on Residentially Designed Properties) and worked with planning officials of the city
and the city council until it was finally adopted in August 2014. The ordinance would allow the use of shipping containers and would allow those containers in place to remain. The ordinance and intervention by Irontree ended a three-year debate on the prohibition of shipping containers. In April 2014, Irontree introduced to city officials a new ordinance to protect existing businesses that existed prior to the city incorporation. The debate lasted a little over a year and formalities of getting approved took another several months. “It is not everything we had hoped for,” Walls said, “But it does offer protection over the next decade and beyond so that the Menifee rural business community can and will prosper.” The ordinance authored by Irontree is likely the first of its kind. Machado said, “I knew we had made it when Mr. Johnson ordered all twenty five of our clients to come in and get their business licenses.”
Washington announces desire to run for full Riverside County Third District Supervisor term Tony Ault Writer Riverside County Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington announced at the Anza Community Meeting on June 8 that he wants to continue his duties as a county supervisor into the next regular term less than two years away. “I want you know that I’m in
this for at least a full term,” he said at the meeting that was held at the Anza Community Center. He added that he has been a 26-year Riverside County resident and has always enjoyed working in the county’s different areas. Earlier this year California State Senator Jeffery Stone (DRiverside), then Riverside County Third District Supervisor, on his
way to Sacramento, recommended to Governor Jerry Brown that he appoint Washington to fill the rest of his term in Riverside. Brown, after interviewing Washington, made the appointment. “I think it is the most beautiful district in the county,” Washington said. “I’m looking at what could be done up here in the valley and the rest of the district.” He said he
wished to be a part of its potential growth and prosperity and the only way he knew how was by running for a full term in 2017. Following his announcement, Washington lauded the “Trail Town” vision for the Anza Valley that many residents have. The Trail Town supporters believe the concept would bring greater recreational opportunities for
people throughout the county and the state. Washington indicated that he wanted to offer whatever help he could to the residents of Anza and the rest of the Third District. “I envision a place when a family can come, have family activities and create some great memories,” he said.
Coyote incidents in Southern California prompt precautionary reminders SACRAMENTO—Due to a recent increase in the number of human/coyote incidents in Southern California, residents should be particularly vigilant in watching their children and pets when outdoors. In the past month, there have been four incidents in Irvine where young children were either bitten or scratched by a coyote, resulting in minor injuries. “These incidents highlight the importance of communities working together to eliminate sources of food that may attract wildlife to neighborhoods,” said Capt. Rebecca Hartman of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Law Enforcement Division. “When coyotes are fed, either intentionally or unintentionally by food being left out, they can become a public safety threat.” CDFW volunteers have been
conducting outreach and distributing wildlife information to residents in Irvine and trappers have been deployed to locate and humanely euthanize coyotes in the area where the incidents have occurred. During the warm summer months, particularly from March through August, coyotes are very active. They are raising their young and are in an almost constant search for food. Coyotes are highly adaptable and often live in close proximity to populated areas where food and water sources are abundant. They usually fear humans and avoid interactions; however, if they begin to associate humans with food, they lose their natural fear and can become bold and aggressive. Coyote safety tips
Keep a close eye on small children when outdoors. Keep small pets inside particularly at dawn and dusk when coyotes are most active. Keep pets on a leash when walking. Keep pet food and water dishes inside. Secure food and trash at all times and remove all sources of water. Pick up fallen fruit and keep compost piles tightly sealed. Sweep up fallen birdseed, which can attracts mice and rats, a common food source for coyotes. Remove brush, wood piles and debris where coyotes can find cover and where rodents are abundant. Install motion-activated lighting or sprinklers. If a coyote approaches or acts aggressively, throw rocks, make noise, look big, and pick up small
children and pets. Do not turn your back to the animal. If a coyote is frequently seen around schoolyards or playgrounds or is acting aggressively, contact your local animal control or CDFW. If a coyote attacks, call 911. There has been only one recorded fatality in California from a coyote attack (a 3-year-old girl in
1981). Coyote attacks are relatively rare and the mere presence of a coyote does not constitute a public safety threat. However, in areas where coyotes are highly visible and active, caution is advised. For more information on living responsibly with wildlife, visit www.keepmewild.com.

Anza Local Cooking Corner Jodi Thomas Area Manager Food and our favorite recipes are an intricate part of life. A special dish is made perhaps only at someone’s birthday, Christmas or Thanksgiving or just for the summer time; the thought of which brings a flood of memories. AVO readers are encouraged to send in their favorite recipe and stories/memories surrounding that recipe. If you have a favorite recipe and story that goes with it please send them to editor@anzavalleyoutlook.com Each week we will share the continuing story of Donna Schumacher’s early life and her recipe collection. She is now in her 80s and wants to share. She is an accomplished gourmet cook who entertained and cooked for many in the entertainment industry throughout the decades. The following excerpts are from the introduction to her original online cookbook which is no longer available. The intro chronicles her life in the 1980s when Donna lived in small private residential enclave on the south side of Laguna Beach, right on the ocean front, known as Treasure Island. It was a home away from home for many in the entertainment industry of Hollywood. At Treasure Island as they held regular community parties which Donna chaired and cooked for, she also entertained many in the Schumacher home. According to Donna, “The story which circulates is that the original name was bestowed on the area (the trailer park) during the filming of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” in the late 1920s.” If you would like to read pervious issues of Cooking Corner please go to www.anzavalleyoutlook.com and check out past issues.

Happy Cooking! More about Donna’s Treasure Island life “About the time I arrived on the scene, the park instituted a more organized social club which planned and implemented many social events for the residents and weekenders. I served as President of the Club for quite some time and enjoyed all the interaction with a myriad of people, occupations and lifestyles. Frequently, I would make coffee cakes and sweet treats to take to the weekday morning Coffee Club. Everyone seemed to enjoy the goodies and I was often asked to share the recipes.

WASHINGTON from page A-1 meeting attendees. Introduced at the meeting was Riverside County Sheriff’s Captain Lyndon “Ray” Wood who responded to the inquiry. “You may not see action immediately in our (marijuana eradication) efforts. It is a long process with many legal issues. We worry about a successful prosecution,” Wood said. “We try to do things the right way.” Washington said the marijuana problem is widespread in the county and steps are being taken to better address the situation. “It has been a challenge for us. That is why we are taking a civil approach to the problem rather than a criminal approach,” Washington explained. Riverside County Ordinance 925, now in effect, limits the number of legal medicinal marijuana plants an individual can have on his property and other restrictions. The new ordinance allows the county code enforcement department as well as the sheriff’s department to investigate alleged criminal and
civil violations. “We are the only county in California to do this,” Washington said. “You should see results from this within 30 to 60 days.” He added that the county is expecting success with the new ordinance and has already contracted with two private companies to take out any illegal marijuana plants found and confiscated by either the sheriff’s department or code enforcement. Other issues brought up by the residents included a rash of mailbox thefts and vandalism throughout the Anza and Sage areas, rising tax abatement costs, trash collection, bus service to the area and sheriff’s department response times. AVMAC spokesman George Lanick hosted the meeting and told residents AVMAC has scheduled a meeting with the Waste Management Company, which provides service to the county. The meeting will be on Sept. 9 at the community center. “Be sure to be here,” he said. Washington said the mailbox theft and vandalism is also a problem throughout the county and it is both a county and federal problem. He suggested the victims of theft

and vandalism contact the postal service with any pictures or other evidence they have to help catch the thieves and vandals. The tax abatement issue brought up by one of the residents was tied to the ownership of property involved in the marijuana farm raids. Washington said his staff would have to review the issue before any action is taken. The bus transportation issue has been examined before in the valley with the Riverside Transportation Agency reporting there are not enough residents in the Anza Valley area to make a bus line feasible. “The fact is,” Washington said, “we are all married to our cars. We don’t want to take buses.” One resident said that a private bus transportation line in Anza was tried in the past, but it was abandoned for lack of ridership. Washington provided his office telephone number to residents so they can contact him with questions or concerns in the future. His number is (951) 955-1030. His Hemet office, serving Anza, Sage and the desert areas, is located at 749 N. State St.

HALL from page A-1 checks that had been printed for the previous accounts. We also opened a trust account to hold cleaning/ security deposits as required by law. Because there is a fee charged by the bank for a trust account that does not maintain a minimum balance of $1,500 we have asked all the recurring users of the Hall (Living Hope, the Thimble Club, etc.) to pay cleaning/security deposits like everyone else is required to do. This allowed us to avoid that monthly bank fee and avoid the appearance of favoritism. We purchased a version of QuickBooks designed specifically for Non-Profit Corporations and have been working on creating books for this fiscal year that are compliant with the laws and would allow an audit committee to conduct an audit of the books next year. It is a violation of the IRS rules governing tax-exempt corporations for the corporate business to unfairly benefit anyone on the board of directors, their families, companies or associations. Because this is a small town it is impossible to have a board of directors that does not have members who are involved in other clubs or businesses that utilize the hall. The only way to comply with these regulations is to set standard rules and usage fees and apply them to every like group or person equally. We established uniform usage pricing for the various types of people/groups who use the hall (e.g. member, nonmember, personal or business use versus public service use.) Those prices were posted publicly and universally applied. I will provide more information later, on the controversy that complying with these IRS rules has created with some people that insisted they should be treated differently. The Secretary has gone through the corporate and accounting records that we do have and organized them. This has led to a new discovery. In the Corporate record book we found a document from Larry Linder that listed the Corporation Number, the State Charity Registration Number and the Federal Tax Identification Number (FEIN) for this corporation. That would have been a very helpful document, except all three numbers on that document from Linder are incorrect. This caused us to take a closer look at the old filings. In 2005 Linder filed the RRF-1 with the wrong corporation number but the correct FEIN. Then in 2006 through 2010 he reversed that error using the correct corporation number and the wrong FEIN. Then in 2011 he returned to the error of 2005 and reversed the errors again. Copies of these documents will be made available to anyone wishing to see proof of these errors. I have made copies for the press. Finally in 2012-2014 Annie Ashby’s board filed using correct numbers. The New Tax Issue: As I reported in my last President’s Report, in trying to correct filing errors by previous boards, Annie Ashby’s board hired Carol Ann Smith to file amended tax returns with corrected information for the previous 10 years. I concur that this was a logical solution to resolve the previous filing errors. The problem is that the IRS has now seen this as an opportunity to collect money. They are taking the position that incorrectly filed tax forms are un-filed tax forms and treating the amended returns as returns filed late. As a non-profit corporation we do not pay taxes but there are penalties for filing late. So far we have received penalty notices for three of the 10 years charging us an average of over $2,000 in penalties for each of those years. That means that if they assess penalties for all 10 years we are facing penalties of over $20,000. But, here is the catch-22. It is a violation of the rules governing non-profit corporations to use taxexempt funds to pay these penalties. We have a letter from the Attorney
The Anza Hall Board intently listens while Pres. Noel Donahue (center) reads her report which covers the events and findings of the past three months. Jodi Thomas photo
General of the State of California telling the previous board that it is the board of directors that are personally liable for these penalties. In the past 10 years there have been five different boards of directors, each with varying levels of responsibility for these penalties. As I pointed about above Larry Linder’s name is attached to only six of those incorrect filings. We could sue Linder and the old boards for the money but we would need to pay all the legal fees for that litigation and our own insurance policy would pay for their defense so that is not an option. We have tried to reason with the IRS to no avail. I think it is time to hire a tax attorney but even that is no guarantee that the penalties will be waived and tax attorneys are not cheap. Good ones can cost $500 an hour. I have recently sought the help of our elected representatives in resolving this issue with the IRS. If they are unsuccessful we need to have a plan B. So in a few minutes I am going to ask for a motion empowering us to hire a tax attorney and even pay these penalties if he is unsuccessful in getting them waived. The power of this corporation is with the members and this board needs your authority to take these actions. When my report is completed, this membership will discuss and vote on several issues including what to do about these penalties. Sweetheart Deals: One of the things this board promised to do is to level the playing field. We have been actively eliminating sweetheart deals. This has upset some of the people who were benefitting from these deals. After months of trying I finally connected with Jeff Crawley of Christian Men’s Ministry we have an issue to bring before this membership. They store their two containers on the East side of the Community Hall and have multiple freezers plugged in consuming electricity. Their previous verbal contract was to pay $25 a month, on an annual basis for electricity use and nothing for the storage of their containers or use of the Hall on their food delivery day. We were approached by another food ministry that was willing to pay $150 a month for the use of the smaller container and the same access to electricity and the Hall on food distribution days afforded to Christian Men’s Ministry. I could not accept this deal because until this week I could not even confirm the ownership of the containers. When Jeff Crawley said that they could not consolidate into a single container, that killed the deal. *When this report concludes, we will also engage in a discussion of this issue as well and a vote on whether to continue with this sweetheart deal or to make the changes to the contract for Christian Men’s Ministry that reflect the cost of having their items stored on this property. *Update: “No vote of membership was held at the time of the June 22 meeting. This was due to the fact that the Secretary of Christian Men’s Brian English, who was at the meeting agreed to the Hall Board’s terms. The next day Christian Men’s Pres. Jeff Crawley called to say they do not accept the terms. So there will be a vote of the membership on the July 20 meeting at 7 p.m. about Christian Men’s contract; this was explained via email. The report is printed as it
was sent.” -Jodi Thomas AVO Area Manager Budget: Typically a business has a budget in place under which it operates and uses as a gauge of its fiscal health. We were not given an existing budget for the year starting October 1, 2014 and ending September 30, 2015. But in the absence of a budget I will report to you where we are financially. In the first six months of this fiscal year the former board was on-track for an annual budget of $24,000. We should increase that amount slightly but there are only three months remaining in the fiscal year and we are still trying to complete contracts with several existing users. We also had to pay the unpaid bills left for us. Some bills had aging of more than 120 days when we took office. Other added costs included the need to purchase accounting software so we can put the Hall’s books in order. On top of those expenses we have been ordered by the Health Department to install a 3 compartment sink in the kitchen, replace the kitchen floor and remove or replace the white refrigerator and freezer. The Lions Club took the microwave, which needed to be replaced. The four toilets need to be replaced because the mechanisms are rusted in place and can’t be removed to allow them to be rebuilt. We also need to build more storage to allow us to bring in users that require storage. The floor in the main room also needs to be replaced. It was installed using the wrong type of wood and has already broken through in several places. When we have the floor up we will need to correct the drain problem from the kitchen. There is insufficient slope in the drain pipe which causes the water to back up in the floor sink in the kitchen. The paint on the outside of the building is peeling and our well is now pumping up water with a yellow color and sulfur smell. All these issues can be corrected but those corrections cost money. There are other less costly repairs that need to be made and then we have the regular costs to operate the building. I have just told you about the tax problems and their potential cost. To give you the scale of the financial shortfall let me give you some numbers. If we were successful in having users in the Hall 365 days a year at an average cost of $100 a day the maximum income we could produce is $36,500. The building repairs desperately needed and Health Department ordered corrections alone, far exceed that total maximum income from usage fees. Everyone knows this Hall is not used every day of the year. Our annual income from usage fees will likely bring in between $24,000 & 26,000. If we raised the usage fees high enough to pay all these costs nobody would use the Hall because the fees would be too high. To bring in more users of the Hall and thereby more revenue, we need to fix the water problem, solve the storage issues, eliminate the safety issues with the floor and improve the general appearance of the Hall. The changes the Health Department is requiring in the kitchen should also attract new users. If we could raise $100,000 we could probably do everything that needs to be done this year. This board is actively seeking grants, donations and other sources of revenue to close that gap between our
projected income and expenses since our projected annual income is only about one-fourth of the funds needed to cover our projected expenses. We will work on producing an operating budget for the fiscal year 2015-2016 which starts on October 1 but we have more urgent matters to attend to now like creating a set of books for the current fiscal year since we need to have these books completed before the end of this fiscal year on September 30, 2015. Rumor Control: As I explained during a previous meeting, this board will not address the rampant rumors and misinformation on social media. That is still our policy but some rumors and misinformation need to be addressed at this meeting so that we can move forward. 1. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that we raised the usage rates for the Lions Club. They were asked to pay the same $75 per meeting that they had been paying. There were two changes. They were asked to sign contracts like everyone else and to pay a refundable cleaning/security deposit like everyone else. At first, Lions Club president, Greg Johnson said that he wanted some changes in the language on the contract documents. This board made every change requested. Ultimately Greg said that they were unwilling to sign any contract and would not pay a cleaning/ security deposit. 2. In pursuit of our goal to bring in more revenue we looked into the possibility of bringing in additional users of the kitchen. The one catch was that they require some storage space because the Health Department requires them to keep their cooking pots and utensils on-site. Most of the existing storage was taken up by the Lions Club and the Thimble Club. We asked them if they could consolidate their storage to allow us to bring in some new users who need storage. The Thimble Club is working with us as a team. The Lions Club, at first refused to give up any storage space and then ultimately moved out, taking

the storage cabinets with them. We are having new cabinets built. Even with the donated labor for Living Hope we are looking at almost $1,000 in material. Had the Lions Club stayed and worked with us, we could have accommodated their storage needs while bringing in the new users. We did not need or want the Lions Club to move to achieve these goals. All we asked for was a little cooperation for the good of the Hall. 3. My mailing address uses Hemet but I live in Sage. When you drive down Wilson Valley Road, as soon as you pass Thomas Rd. (a.k.a. Cahuilla Heights Rd.) you are in a Hemet postal district and the homes there use a Hemet address. Responding to a member who tried to make this an issue at the meeting held on April 16, 2015 and because of the election irregularities in the election held by the interim committee I offered to hold new elections. The issue was put to a vote of the members and there was an almost unanimous vote to leave this board in place. People that keep raising this issue online and sending out emails with every address I have lived at since I was a little girl have no bearing on this matter. The bylaws say that any member who does not reside in one of three zip codes cannot vote. I do not live in one of those zip codes so I do not vote as a member. The bylaws also say that the President does not vote except in a tiebreaker so again my living in Sage is not a violation of the bylaws. Now can we stop the rumor mill and move forward? There are a lot of things to get done. That concludes my President’s Report for June 22, 2015.

Started in the 1950s when our independent area forefathers had the vision to electrify the area for the first time. Forming an electrical cooperative would give area residents that use electricity a democratic stake in the utility game and some control over this part of their life. The story of the birth of the Anza Electric Co-op by Barbara Bradford begins; In 1950, kerosene and gasoline fueled lights gleamed from widely scattered homes around the Anza Valley and much of the surrounding areas—from Aguanga to the desert and Mountain Center to south of Chihuahua Valley when we arrived in the Anza Valley. You can read the complete history online or pick up the booklet “Let there be Light” written by Barbara Bradford at the meeting. Her forward to her book is profound it reads: “Arthur “Art” Nightengale said: “It is important to know a little bit about each person that was instrumental in putting the Co-op together and keeping it together all these years so that you can understand that it is people just like you and I that have created and operated our Anza Electric Co-op. While the Co-op is no longer a “Mom & Pop” operation, it still has a heart.” With this as a guideline I will tell the story as I have seen it, understood it and lived it.” Barbara Bradford The Seven Cooperative Principles describe what members should expect from their co-op and why it is important for members to be actively involved in their co-op. The Seven Cooperative Principles as listed on AEC’s website: 1st Principle: Voluntary and open membership. Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all people able to use its services and willing to accept the

responsibilities, without gender, social, racial, political, or religious discrimination. 2nd Principle: Democratic member control. Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, one member-one vote, who actively participate in setting their policies and making decisions. Men and woman serving as elected representatives are accountable to the membership. 3rd Principle: Member economic participation. Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative, possibly by setting up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership. 4th Principle: Autonomy and independence. Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy. 5th Principle: Education, training, and information. Cooperatives provide education and training for their members, elected representatives, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of their cooperatives. They inform the general public about the nature and benefits of cooperation. 6th Principle: Cooperation among cooperatives. Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional, and international structures. 7th Principle: Concern for community while focusing on member needs. Cooperatives work for the

Anza’s up-and-coming local radio station KOYT 96.3 to hold Estate Sale style fundraiser
KOYT 96.3 logo was created by two people, Joseph Wittenberg and Robert McCloud. Their combined ideas won the KOYT 96.3 logo Courtesy photo contest in the beginning of the year.
The KOYT crew, lt-rt; Flavia Krieg, Bob Giffin, Bud Elmore, Merrie Kraatz, Amber Ortegon and Liese Carney, are letting the people know about KOYT Radio at a local function. This is an important part of getting the word out. They also sell KOYT 96.3 Radio T-shirts as an Courtesy photo ongoing effort to raise money for the radio station.
Jodi Thomas Area Manager KOYT Radio will be holding an estate sale type fundraiser on Aug. 1, according to Liese Carney KOYT volunteer coordinator. They are looking for gently used household items, furniture, tools, kitchenware, linens, appliances, electronics, etc. They are requesting no clothes please. All proceeds will go toward getting KOYT on the air. Broadcasting should start in two to three months if all goes well. What is KOYT all about? It started in the fall of 2013 in Anza at the Little Red School House. A group of local citizens banded to-
gether to explore the possibility of applying for one of the low power FM radio licenses open only to non-profit organizations. This was a rare opportunity, as at that time a decade had passed since such a license had been available from the FCC. The window was short so the group decided to go ahead and apply. Needing a non-profit organization to be listed, the Anza Civic Improvement League volunteered. There were over 2,500 applications sent to the FCC for the low power FM radio licenses opportunity. Low power FM stations are forums for local people and organizations who want to amplify
their message. Using the power of a 100 watt light bulb, our community radio will be able to transmit to most of Anza and portions of upper Aguanga. In the future, with a cellphone and laptop, the whole community can become a mobile studio, according to the group’s Facebook page. In the spring of 2014 Anza was granted such a license and KOYT 96.3 Koyote Radio was born. Since then the volunteers have worked to gather the necessary equipment and funds needed to make the radio station a reality. The group has become their own non-profit. The radio station base will be in town and volunteers have been working on securing the necessary equipment needed. KOYT Radio board members are President, Robert McCloud; Vice President, Bud Elmore; Secretary, empty position; Treasurer, Loli Grado; Director, Bob Giffin; Director Flavia Krieg; Volunteer Coordinator, Liese Carney. “Our vision is a communitycontrolled radio station that reflects and responds to the needs of our rural community. As such, one of the important contributions KOYT will make to our community is (the area of) emergency preparedness. The station will have an Emergency Alert System (EAS) that will enable you to get locally relevant information over the FM airwaves in case of emergency, even in the event of a power grid failure,” says an informative post on Facebook from the group. According to Volunteer Coordinator Carney, “KOYT 96.3 FM Anza Community Broadcasting is just that “For the Community.” Any groups or organizations in town are welcome to have announcements broadcast, news, traffic, weather, non-profit, the school district, fire department, etc. You can even come in and do a pre-recorded taping. We will also have different music mixed in, jazz on one day, country, classic rock,
the next, and we are open for suggestions as far as programming. Also if you go to youtube.com and search KOYT 96.3 you can listen to KOTY 96.3’s first 30 second sweeper.” Recently the group received happy news. They had attended this June’s Anza Electric Coop (AEC) Board of Directors meeting and presented their needs list for KOYT to the Board. “Now we have another HUGE announcement,” announced Bub Elmore on a Facebook post on June 11, 2014, “Anza Electric Co-op, due to the efforts of Kevin Short who has been working with us for quite some time to develop KOYT, is providing the following: • Our transmitter equipment value approx. $3500 • A new upgradable antenna value approx. $500 • A pole installed and installation of antenna • Free Fiber Optic hook up unlimited • Free power for the station indefinite • Total (worth) at this time: approx. $5,000” The estate sale style fundraiser will be held indoors starting at 8 a.m. in a building behind Bob Giffin’s Overland Realty building on the corner of Bahrman Rd. and Hwy. 371 at the west end of the township of Anza on Sat., Aug. 1. According to Carney, “All donations are tax deductible; we even provide those interested in the deduction a filled-out tax form. Anyone who has larger items to donate to the estate sale style fundraiser, but no way to deliver the donations can call me, Liese Carney at 951383-5507 to schedule a pick up.” At their next meeting on July 22 they will be discussing programing. The meeting’s time and place had not been set at the time of this issue’s deadline. Call Carney for estate sale info or meeting info.

Here is another story from Kathie Beale.
Falling snake.
Snake bow.
Hisssss in the Garden of Eden.
Kathie Beale photos
My yard of snakes I talk about my owls and birds in my yard and how much I love them. I also have other animals that, let’s say are not my favorite, but they are all a part of the ecosystem of the property. I have eight different snakes in my yard. In the four acres I have, most of them are gopher snakes but I do have an occasional red racer and a garner snake that lives in an old built-in barbeque. Luckily I have not seen a rattle snake in 13 years; I do believe that it is because of the gopher snakes. Now my sister would tell you that I am crazy but I would rather run across a snake than a black widow spider, just saying. One summer morning I ran across four different snakes; one was drinking water from my vegetable garden’s raised bed; the second was slithering over my foot when I was putting up another coop for my new pheasants that were about to arrive. He was trying to get into my chicken coop, I would assume for the chicken eggs or the mice that live there. I just shooed him away, no problem. The second picture is a coil of snakes. I counted four heads, how many do you count? Now how many people can say they have seen this before? Nature at its best. Watching where you are walking is always a good thing to do. In my yard you also have to watch for falling snakes. My husband, Nick, was doing some yardwork one day when a snake fell out of the tree right beside him and scared him good. The garner snake was probably looking for bird eggs. This has happened to him more than a couple of times. Falling snakes – who has heard of such a thing? The third picture, let’s call it, “The Snake in the Garden of Eden.”
Beautiful blooms from our tree.

The Supreme Court defies the Constitution on SameSex Marriage Harold Pease, Ph. D Special to the Anza Valley Outlook The outcry against five justices who, abandoned Christian law as articulated in the Bible (the judaeochristian code was the bases of the Constitution and our culture), all constitutional law prior to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution in 1868, and the vast majority of her present citizens, making something legally right that has been forbidden in virtually every country in the world for 6,000 years, is overwhelming. A practice condemned (often to death) by every major world religion. This, all in the face of God the Almighty. The piety of these justices cannot be overstated.

restrain itself to the blatant judicial attack on the Constitution itself especially, Article I, Section 8, and Amendments I (freedom of religion) and 10 (enshrining federalism), all of which were omitted in the justices’ decision. It leaves the practice of same-sex marriage as a cultural or religious perversion, or even the fairness issue, for another time. Many ask, “On what constitutional grounds was same sex marriage ruled by the justices to be constitutional?” Almost none!! Under the Constitution originating with the Founding Fathers it could never have been. It is the perversions of the document that came nearly two centuries later that has resulted in the justices ruling as they have. Let us begin with some basics. The first and most pronounced division of power recognized by the Fathers was between the states and the federal government called federalism. Basically state powers included everything except what was listed as federal power primarily in Article I, Section 8, because all agreed that the nature of all national governments was to grow and the Constitution was designed to specifically limit it in doing so. The word marriage, or anything like unto it, is not included in that list nor added subsequently by amendment through Article 5. Therefore the federal government has no jurisdiction in the matter and it is entirely a state matter. That truth is most profoundly stated in Amendment 10 of the Bill of Rights. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Simplistically federalism meant that the Federal Government would handle mostly foreign affairs and the states domestic affairs. Still fearing that the federal government would exceed its listed
powers the states made a list of things that the federal government could never do to them. That list became the Bill of Rights. Article I of that list denied the federal government any authority in religious matters. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,….” Clearly citizens can refuse to perform marriages, or even provide flowers for, gay marriages on religious grounds. Clearly citizens, ministers or otherwise, may write or speak out against the practice no matter what the justices say. After the Civil War reentry of southern states into the union required their agreeing to extend all constitutional rights to their black population as well. Amendment 14, Section 1, disallowed states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law: nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.” To the law makers of the day this was essentially the Bill of Rights and little more, but the phases “due process” and “equal protection,” not defined, became fertile soil for federal government’s natural tendency to grow; and grow it did like a cancer, many times beyond original intent—each expansion becoming the rational for even more expansion. Each phrase took on a life of its own. The justices, sometimes with tortured logic, were able to rule that a state may not deprive their same-sex couples from due process and equal protection of the law. Heterosexuals sometimes get advantageous by their marriage: taxes, adoptions and etc. also wanted by the homosexual community. These two nebulous phrases “due process” and equal protection” are the hinges of the door of the whole gay agenda. So it comes to this. If a judge
gives weight to these terms, not introduced into the Constitution until 1868, 78 years later and thereafter altered and expanded as needed and never understood by the writers of the amendment in the light of radical change, he will use it to make marriage denial for same-sex couples unconstitutional. To do so, however, he must disregard Article I, Section 8, and Amendment 1 and 10 and utterly discard the philosophy of federalism. Such judges endorse the movement to grow the federal government, righting all wrongs and solving all problems through the central government—just the opposite of what the Constitution is supposed to do. Apparently we have five of our nine justices in this category. Constitutionalist judges, on the other hand, value these basic and essential components of the Constitution and will rule otherwise. Since marriage, or anything remotely similar to it, is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution, the proper place for it, as for everything else not specifically given to the federal government, is at the state level. Would that mean that some states would allow gay marriage? Perhaps this in time would come about but only by the vote of the people in their states, not by unelected and unaccountable Supreme Court justices who have defied their own constitution in their most recent decision.

Letter to the editor Anza Community Members, I have not nor have ever been involved with Annette Gilliam’s campaign seeking office with the AEC. Mr. Kohout states in his recent article, “She admitted that she never reads either of our two local newspapers, but somehow she needs to be on the Board at the Chamber of Commerce, along with her “campaign manager” Megan Haley, and Phil Canaday, who has been another outspoken critic of the Cooperative’s broadband efforts. Mr. Kohout is mistaken in his assertion that I am involved with her campaign. It is true that Ms. Gilliam and I are neighbors on adjoining parcels, do serve on the board of directors for the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce and have previously purchased property from her, these are all that we have in common with each other. Mr. Kohout’s claims that the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce, myself, Ms. Gilliam and Mr. Canaday are out to “sully the reputation of the Cooperative, and specifically Kevin Short, all because Phil Canaday didn’t get his way” as he misrepresented are complete malarkey and made-up untruths. It is true that I did sign my name twice to Ms. Gilliam’s petition for office as I was unaware of the one account = one vote rule with the AEC, my mistake. This mistake was in no way meant to be a fraudulent attempt at gaining more signatures for Ms. Gilliam’s campaign but a simple mistake, nothing else.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of California Civil Code.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Ornamental grasses complete a garden
Linda McDonald-Cash Special to the Valley News Hello fellow gardeners! This week I’d like to discuss another of my favorite groups of plants, right up there with succulents, and those are referred to as either clumping or ornamental grasses. Personally, I don’t think a garden’s complete without at least one type of clumping grass in it. I think I’ve got four or five varieties myself. It adds an entire dimension to the garden, not only due to the delicate movement in the breeze, but also the color and texture adds immensely as well. Ornamental grass comes in sizes from less than eight inches high, as in the ever popular, Festuca glauca – Blue Fescue. One of the best is Elijah Blue, available at most nurseries and as tall as the Arundo donax – Giant Reed, which can get
Pink Muhly Grass aka Muhlenbergia.
up to 14’ high – not recommended unless you have lots of space. I never recommend pampas grass to my clients even though it’s everywhere, it’s an invasive non-native species. Some of my personal favorites in the landscape, which are fairly easy to find at most nurseries, are Calamagrotis acutiflora – Karl Foerster, which is a feather reed grass – upright and narrow, drought tolerant and great in tight spaces. Helictotrichon sempervirens – Blue Oat Grass – low water, beautiful color, gets about three feet tall and wide. Miscanthus sinensis Yakushima aka

Dwarf Maiden Grass – gets about four feet high and three feet wide, low to average amount of watering. For an even smaller variety of Miscanthus sinensis, look for Adagio, it only gets three by two feet. Panicum virgatum – Heavy Metal aka Blue Switch Grass, three to four feet tall and wide, bluish foliage, low water needs, pinkish plumes. The Pennisetums aka Fountain Grass are popular and available everywhere, I’m sure you’re familiar with Pennisetum setaceum var.
see GRASSES, page B-5
Landscaping with ornamental grasses gives beautiful and eyecatching color to any yard.

County assessment roll is the highest since 2008
RIVERSIDE—Riverside County’s property assessment roll has been valued at $242.7 billion, a 5.78 percent increase from last year and the highest total assessment roll since 2008, Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder Peter Aldana recently announced. “This is the third consecutive year of growth and we are nearing our peak assessment roll of $242.9 billion in 2008, a good indicator of a steadily appreciating real estate
market,” Aldana said. The assessment roll is based upon assessed property values in Riverside County. Factors contributing to the increase include year-over-year growth in sales price in single-family homes and all other real estate sectors, including commercial and industrial properties, vacant land and increased new construction. Though home sales volumes fell from the prior year, median home-sales
prices increased 5.31 percent, from $280,000 to $295,000. The increases came between December 2013 and December 2014, according to statistics from CoreLogic, a real estate information services firm. The number of tract-map recordings and permits issued are rising, signs that housing and commercial markets continue to improve. And an upswing in new construction for residential and commercial properties
demonstrates overall improvement in the economy in general. “By any measure – whether real estate prices, new construction, employment, or population – Riverside County clearly is one of the fastest growing counties in the state,” Aldana said. Under California’s Prop. 8, assessed values can be lowered temporarily if recession or other factors reduce a property’s value below its Prop. 13 value on Jan. 1 of each year. As economic recovery increases market value, valuations previously lowered because of Prop. 8 must be increased to match the subsequent upswing. In those cases, property-tax increases are allowed to exceed the standard 2 percent annual cap set by Prop. 13. This year’s Prop. 13 annual inflation cap, as determined by the California Consumer Price Index, is 1.998 percent. For property owners whose assessments were not reduced because of Prop. 8, assessed values will increase by this inflation factor. Despite the assessment roll’s increase, many properties remain well below peak values and changes in the real estate market can affect subsequent assessed values. Aldana said his office continues to review
individual properties for potential changes in value, which can affect property taxes. The review is a critical process in completing the assessment roll. Property owners whose assessment increases under Prop. 8 will receive a notice from Aldana in their regular 2015-2016 tax bills, which will be sent in October by Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent. Beginning in mid-July, Riverside County property owners will be able to view their 2015-16 roll value online at www.riversideacr.com. Properties can be searched by address or parcel number. Property owners who disagree with their property’s assessed value may file a free decline-in-value application online. Applications are due by Nov. 2 and are available at www. riversideacr.com. Property owners disputing the value set by the Assessor’s office may file an appeal with the Riverside County Clerk of the Board until Nov. 30. An application to appeal a changed assessment is available on the Clerk of the Board’s website at www.rivcocob.com. For more information, visit www. riversideacr.com or call (951) 9556200 or toll free (800) 746-1544.

SKYPHOTOS photo
construction,” DuBusky said. “Off-site improvements and underground utilities are nearing completion. Pads will soon be laid and vertical constructions will begin within sixty days.”
According to DuBusky, once completed Renaissance Village will offer those age 60 and older independent living, assisted living, and memory care with studio, one and two-bedroom apartment floor plans. “Exterior hallmarks include open courtyards, spacious grounds, striking architecture, beautifully maintained, habitat friendly gardens, and so much more,” he said. “Inside, great attention has been devoted to details that make Renaissance Village a vibrant, active community for seniors and their families enjoying life together. Here you’ll discover comfortable, open living spaces, gracious dining rooms, elegant furnishings, music, art, and activities galore.” Residents can enjoy three gourmet meals, prepared daily on site. Housekeeping and laundry services are also provided, DuBusky said. The main clubhouse and assisted
living community is scheduled to open in summer 2016 with Memory Care Villas opening the following year. Trained, licensed and compassionate caregivers, are on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Skilled nursing will not be available at opening, but will come at a later date, DuBusky said. Projected fiscal impact on the city for development is more than $23 million. “In addition, Renaissance Village will bring many skilled jobs to the area,” DuBusky said. “Renaissance Village Murrieta will employ numerous caregivers, nurses, executive management, culinary and dining associates, and many more.” Renaissance Village is located at 24271 Jackson Ave., directly across from The Colony.

Back in the late 1990s I was hired by Yahoo!, at the moment the leading Internet company. Not only was the company fantastic, but the job title was also great. I was hired as one of Yahoo!’s youngest directors within its international operations. Having the ability to work with a giant’s brand and budget makes your life easy... until you become accountable for metrics, which is well... briefly after you start your job. So P&L, user acquisition, traffic, etc., become your targets and focus. You start working overtime, exhausting yourself beyond belief. traveling with insane frequency and People even start thinking that you have God-like attributions within your company (e.g., Could you hack into my girlfriend’s Yahoo! mail?), and well, while you might have started bleeding the company colors (I bled purple), soon you start realizing that the company doesn’t quite feel the same passion about employees. And it is true. Especially when budget and revenue become the flavor of the day in board meetings. Soon employees are asked to increase their goals, assessments become harsher and layoffs destroy the morale of remaining employees. Also, as a creative employee you start to realize that the phenomenal idea you had soon becomes a billion dollar revenue generator. Yes, it was your baby, but your baby belongs to your employer. Best case scenario, you would be rewarded with a raise, a bonus or stock options. With market volatility, you might find yourself a potential future millionaire one day, but under water the next day. Still, your idea is bringing boatloads of money to the company. At least, you reached your P&L target. Corporate world is tough at a HR level as well. Competition for power is a constant. Even your boss might be worried about your performance and could hinder your efforts. Your subordinates might
want your position, and even if you try lateral growth, you might step on some toes. Finally, you are accountable for your mistakes, and so is the rest of your team, and being perfectly congruent, you are liable for someone else’s error is that impacts your goals. On the other hand, jumping ship and opening your own shop, makes you responsible for all aspects of your business, liable for all mistakes, and your competition might be tougher, as now you are swimming in a shark-infested ocean. Now not only other people want your head, but also other companies, with budgets to compete against you. The huge difference however, is that you are now owner of your actions, of your success and plan. You set the rules and decide to abide by them or not. You decide when to steer directions and how to pace your growth. If you have a new billion dollar idea, now it’s yours to develop and enjoy, obviously leveraging from all the know how and experience you got from that huge corporate job. Bazan-Canabal is an Internet visionary and social media pioneer. He is known as the first blogger in Mexico and founder of Yahoo! Mexico. Today he is in charge of the Digital Strategy at Valley News and Village News.

Community outreach collaboration announced to benefit those with special needs
A pilot program to benefit special needs children will be held at the city of Temecula’s Eagle Soar Margarita Community Park on Thursday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. beginning July 16 through Aug. 13. Courtesy photo
TEMECULA—Imagine a world where you don’t fit and every experience is mired by confrontation and overload of your senses, this is the world of children living with special needs. A collaboration of community based organizations has united their efforts to create a grass roots project for effective change to benefit those living with special needs. Headed by Our Nicholas Foundation, a premier charitable organization in its 10th year serving those living with Autism in the Inland Empire, Comprehensive Autism Center, a standout organization providing behavioral interventions throughout
Southern California, and Van Avery Prep, a leading private school with philanthropic roots, and their Community Youth Activists have come together to create events to support the social growth of those living with unique needs. The collaboration began through conversations between the organizations about the difficulties surrounding skill generalization when interacting with the “typical peer model.” According to Andrea Macken, M.A., BCBA, founder and president of CAC, “Children with special needs can spend between 12 and 40 hours a week in mul-
tiple therapies leaving little time for them to take all those skills acquired in a clinical environment and then translate them into a real world setting. Then you have a community that may or may not have the knowledge and sensitivity to receive them and help them grow their skills. By utilizing and providing applicable sensitivity training to the Van Avery activists, it gave us the opportunity to create a control group of neuro-typical peers for our kids to play and practice with; thus filling the social outlet needs that exists in the community.” This collaboration has been named CAC Community Cares in collaboration with ONF and local city governments. The program is being piloted through the city of Temecula at the inclusive Eagle Soar Margarita Community Park but is open to all communities and all citizens that have unique abilities; the program will be held on Thursday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. beginning July 16 through Aug. 13. Registration will be done onsite the day of the event and will be open to all special needs individuals, their family and therapists, the only neuro-typical participants will be the Van Avery Youth Activists and the adults facilitating the event. The unique nature of this collaboration and benefit is two-fold, to those with disabilities to have a safe environment to practice and generalize their skills with their non-disabled peers in a naturalistic
environment and for those kids that volunteer as peer models to see that they are more alike than different. When asked what this program means to her, youth activist Audrey stated, “It means I get to play with kids that are a little bit different but they are still kids and want friends, so I feel lucky to help.” Van Avery Youth Activist Leader Kristi Rogers believes that her students are growing exponentially from this experience. “These kids
are getting real life experience adjusting the differences and needs of others that will transform their hearts and minds for a lifetime; this is how we change perspectives,” she said. For more information on how to participate in the program or become a serving participant of the CAC Community Cares group, contact ONF Advisory Board Member Jennifer Smith at TEAMONF@gmail.com.

Triple negative breast cancer seminar K huram Sial, M.D. Harvard Fellowship Trained to be held at Michelle’s Place Spine & Pain Specialist 951-734-PAIN (7246) Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Lori Flowers, founder of Triple Step Toward the Cure, is coming to Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center for an educational seminar. She will discuss the importance of clinical trials for breast cancer patients, as well as provide updates and resources for women going through triple negative breast cancer. The seminar will be held at the Temecula facility on Thursday, July 23 at 6:30 p.m. According to Michelle’s Place, triple negative breast cancer is a sub-type of breast cancer that lacks the three important receptors that are used as targets for cancer treatment. “These receptors are important to the treatment of cancer because they reveal where the cancer is most vulnerable and how to best treat it,” stated Ashlee Collins, spokesperson for Michelle’s Place, in a recent release. “Triple negative breast cancer is more difficult to treat, more likely to recur, and can occur in women of any age, race
or ethnicity.” But what is triple negative breast cancer? Collins addressed this convoluted diagnosis. “Having to explain the differences between triple negative and other breast cancers can be frustrating, especially when just learning about the diagnosis,” Collins said. “Having experienced triple negative breast cancer (through her sister), Flowers understands these frustrations and will provide some valuable information and discuss how important clinical trials are for women dealing with the disease.” Michelle’s Place is intent on helping patients understand the importance of clinical trials, especially with regard to triple negative breast cancers. “Clinical trials are important for patients with triple negative breast cancers, because researchers and doctors have a lot to learn about them,” Collins said. “Clinical trials do not always test medicines. Some look at the long-term effects of treatment or the impact of diet, nutrition and exercise on the return of breast cancer. Others study how
changing lifestyle habits could lower the risk for developing breast cancer.” Following Triple Step Toward the Cure’s core mission, Flowers will educate the audience about triple negative breast cancer, support efforts to educate, encourage and empower women at risk for the disease. Michelle’s Place is a breast cancer resource center, helping patients and families learn how to understand and manage their diagnosis and treatment options when confronted with breast cancer. To RSVP for the seminar, contact Michelle’s Place Office Manager Judee Smith at judee@ michellesplace.org. For more information on Triple Step Toward the Cure, visit www. TripleStepTowardtheCure.org. For more information on Michelle’s Place, visit www. michellesplace.org or call (951) 699-5455. Michelle’s Place is located at 27645 Jefferson Ave., #117 in Temecula.

Tips for rose care during summer’s intense heat Frank Brines Special to the Valley News As unpredictable as the weather has been lately, one thing we can plan historically is periods of intense heat in coming months. We had some samplings in recent weeks. We experienced temps in 90s-100s in June. As summer brings drier, hotter temps, roses will struggle to maintain hydration. This year we have the added obstacle of severe water use restrictions due to fourth year drought in California. It seems to me there has been more wind adding to the problem. I’ve noticed that my vegetable garden dries out quickly requiring added water. (It is not easy to mulch vegetables!) For the past four years I have advocated a conservative style of summer rose care. July-September rose gardener activities in the desert (that’s us) can have a lower priority on your list. I believe it will be even more useful this year due to water use restrictions. When it feels as though Mother Nature is out to get us and the wind parches our skin, we have the luxury of removing ourselves. Meanwhile, our roses have no alternative but to stay where put. Roses don’t like intense heat any more than most of us do. Their priority is to live. The plant will conserve its resources for roots, canes, leaves and blooms in that order. Blooms will be smaller with sunburned petals and lessened fragrance. Leaves will turn yellow as chlorophyll is depleted, reducing photosynthesis, then brown just attempting to keep hydrated because transpiration can’t keep up. Roots will struggle to take up enough water to maintain transpiration from the leaves. If your roses suffer desiccated leaves, do not remove as they will provide some shade to protect the cane from sunburn. Remember, if a leaf dies it is easily replaced; if a cane dies, it is gone. Without saying, water needs in-
crease dramatically. Perhaps requiring daily watering. It is essential that you check soil dampness frequently during hot days. Use a water probe or stick your finger to a depth of four to six inches (that is, if you have fluffy soil or unnaturally long fingers). If your soil is too compacted to do this, use a small garden trowel to scratch down to that depth and check the moisture content. A minimum of four inches of good composted mulch over the entire bed will help conserve moisture. Potted roses are even more susceptible to heat and drying because soil in a container will heat up rapidly, virtually cooking the roots. In addition, the soil contracts and pulls away from the container’s sides, causing water to run through rapidly, washing away soil, and wasting water. Here are a few remedies to help struggling containerized plants: move potted plants to a cooler area under a patio cover or shade tree; never place containers on concrete or other surfaces that readily absorb heat from the sun—but if you must, use pot feet or other methods to provide an air space between the container and the surface; position light-colored umbrellas and/or shade cloth over the plants as I have done; be sure you provide plenty of air circulation around the plants to allow cooling; and apply three or four inches of composted mulch (but not against the plant itself). During hot weather, spider mites
Temecula Valley
are a major destructive pest. They are hard-to-see because they live on the underside of leaves and rasp the tissue. Left alone they can quickly defoliate a bush. Heat increases their reproduction. Look for “dirty” yellow stippled leaves and, in severe cases, webbing on the leaves. Leaves closest to the ground are usually the primary ones affected. Don’t spend a lot time looking for the tiny insects. A quick light brushing of the underside of the leaf with your finger will readily support your suspicions: The surface will feel like it’s covered with a fine grit. To help prevent a complete infestation, remove all leaves within eight to – 10 inches of the ground surface. Roses enjoy a good shower (just as we gardeners do!) especially after a hot day. The difference? Give roses an early morning shower before the sun gets too high and the temperatures are hot for long periods. Jets of water can blast off dirt, dust, and even tiny pests (such as mites, mildew spores, aphids, etc.), and hydrate your roses in preparation for a hot day. If you use a water wand aimed upward to spray the underside of the lower leaves you can dislodge spider mites. Because they reproduce so quickly you must do this every few days. My conservative style of summer care is borrowed from experienced desert gardeners. After the June/July bloom cycle, let the plant go into a mini-summer dormancy by remov-

ing only the petals, not the hips. (In other words, don’t deadhead.) Removing the petals helps prevent pest infestations and keeps the garden looking clean. Allow the rose hips (seed pods) to develop. This will send a message to the rest of the plant to slow down, producing a short dormant period. This will relieve some of the heat stress. Continue to supply sufficient water and check your system daily: One broken sprinkler head, clogged emitter, or chewed drip tube can result in a

Improve your yard by hiring a lawn care or landscape professional
According to a recent survey by the Harris Poll with the National Association of Landscape Professionals, 47 percent of Americans wish they could hire landscape professionals to improve their yards, and 67 percent think that professional landscape help would allow them to have a nicer yard. Most Americans think it is important to have a yard (83 percent) and to spend time outside in the yard (75 percent). For those who have a yard, 90 percent think it is important that it is well-maintained. The majority of Americans (71 percent) also feel that it is important for their neighbors to have well-maintained yards too. A well-kept yard can increase the value of your home and provide a relaxing space to interact with friends and family. Hiring a lawn care or landscape professional can help homeowners and businesses save time, take the guesswork out of caring for a landscape, and protect the investment made in a property. Professional lawn and landscape companies provide a variety of services, including: lawn care, planting and caring for trees, mowing, irrigation, landscape design, shrubs, and flowers, interior plant installation and care, building ponds and water features, building decks, patios, and outdoor living spaces, building walkways, retaining walls, pagodas and gazebos, installing holiday lighting and greenery décor, snow removal, pest management, and outdoor lighting. Top concerns for homeowners when hiring a landscape company are typically price and quality of work. So, how do you hire a highquality and knowledgeable company that meets your needs? The NALP offers tips below to help homeowners and businesses make smart decisions when hiring a landscape professional. Ask how long the company has been in business and the experience level of its staff. Professional landscape companies should have employees with either a secondary education in the field or several

dried out struggling plant—and a higher water bill! Above all, do not fertilize during hot periods – even organic nitrogen can burn the roots of a stressed plant. As I always say, “Roses are like people: When it’s hot, they want lots of water and heat relief rather than food.”

years of experience. In addition, professional companies are often active members in national associations like the NALP or state associations. Affiliations in national associations indicate that a company is interested in excellence, safety, and best practices. Ask the firm for a list of references and professional affiliations or check its website. Select a landscape company that is licensed, accredited, or certified. If required by state law, the company should be licensed. This license will assure you that the contractor is accountable, and that the company is operating legally. Ask them if they have staff that are Landscape Industry Certified. A certified individual has proven experience, skills, and knowledge. Continuing education is necessary to maintain their certification. Ask about the company’s safety record and practices. Good companies put safety first through extensive training, power equipment certification, and safety meetings. NALP members participate in a safe company program called STARS. Check their work. Visit a job in progress. Ask to see a project that will be similar to the work you want done. You want to hire a company that does good work, and reflects professionalism and integrity. Examine the quality of the job, and look to see if the crew’s appearance and job presence are acceptable. Ask the company to provide a written plan and/or contract. Prior to making any agreement, have the landscape contractor, designer, and/or architect prepare the details in writing. This plan can include the design, specify the plant or hardscape materials to be used, list all costs, provide a time table, and explain the payment terms. To find NALP member companies and companies with Landscape Industry Certified staff in your area, go to www.landscapeprofessionals. org.

Real Estate / Home & Garden GRASSES from page B-1 Rubrum – aka Purple Fountain Grass it’s fairly common – but it’s a nice color in the landscape, reliable, rugged, and that’s why it’s planted everywhere! The variety Firecracker is one I’d recommend, it’s a little smaller, and actually more attractive than the standard Pennisetum rubrum. Just saw some recently at Home Depot as a matter of fact. Pennisetum alopecuroides is another good fountain grass variety, light green leaves instead of dark purple, with pinkish seed heads. Panicum virgatum – Tall switch grass var. Cloud Nine is for those who want a big grass in the landscape, this one gets about five to six feet high, and you can mass several together for a very striking display or focal point in the garden. Schizachyrium scoparium – Little Bluestem is a great two to three feet blue grass that adds a much desired blue color into the otherwise boring green landscape, it likes good drainage and groups of three look great together. Lots of other varieties out there, I recommend checking to make sure they work in our climate zone, care, etc. before bringing home and planting. There are a few other varieties of clumping grass, that are well known, available, and you will see them planted often but I’d like to give you my advice, based on firsthand experience. There is a grass, very striking in the garden, its commonly called Mexican Feather grass aka Nasella tenuissima – my warning to you is that this is a very rampant spreader by seeds. If you love it, great, because it will pop up all over your yard, if you just want a grass in just a couple places, this isn’t the one for you. It throws out thousands of tiny seeds that literally go everywhere, trust me on this one. It’s planted in front of our new hospital here in Temecula, if you want to see what it looks like planted en masse. Another grass that I would suggest only if you know how it grows is called Japanese Blood Grass or Imperata cylindrical – it spreads by runners – and not easy to get out if it likes where it’s at, grow it in a pot to be safe. It is a beautiful grass though, lime green with dark maroon on the upper half, so may be worth the effort. I find it does quite well in partial sun in our climate. So those are my warnings on a couple commonly available grasses so you don’t have to deal with the problems later. Grasses are very easy to grow – most have low water requirements, some like a little more, but since they are grasses as well as perennials, they will need to be cut down every year, low, and they will come back with all new growth. I typically do this in late winter, just before the new spring growth starts. Some also do good with dividing every few years – Muhlenberg aka Pink Muhly Grass which is a native grass needs this, another one of my errors you profit from. I let mine grow unhindered and now it’s so thick, you can literally use it for a garden seat now! Grasses look fantastic in mixed borders, perennials beds, on slopes, just about any place and in any type of landscape you can think of. I’ve never had any pests or diseases bother my ornamental grasses, so that’s a nice little bonus in the garden also. I particularly love the contrast of a clumping grass near something like an agave, very contrasting, and quite popular in gardens now. Since they are grasses, the best type of fertilizer for them is going to be? Yes, you got it, nitrogen. So make sure yours has lots of that available in it for new growth, and fertilize right after that once a year haircut in late winter/ early spring. Might also give them another handful in mid-summer if you think about it. Well, that’s it for this week. I hope you will try one or more of my suggested ornamental grass varieties and as always, I am available for landscape design work.

Ask the Agent Q: Hello, Dick. I am purchasing a condo here in Florida. The homeowners association is responsible for fixing roof leaks. Upon my inspection, I saw a stain the closet ceiling from a water leak. Upon asking the owner/seller about it, I was told they never noticed it, but they did fix the ceiling. My real estate agent told me to ask the property management company if a leak had ever been reported. They said no. In the contract I signed, it was “as-is.” So now they tell me they are not responsible for any damage from the leak. We are set to close soon. Isn’t the seller required to notify the HOA to repair the leak since they bear the responsibility? Thank you, Susan. A: You would think so, Susan,
but it is not always so. Just have the agent who represented your interests ask the HOA that same question. Each HOA have their own rules. You have to realize buying a condo is not always like buying a regular house. In case you don’t get a satisfactory answer, have your agent ask an attorney who specializes in HOAs and condos.

Real Estate / Home & Garden
Important neighborhood considerations when buying a new home
John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News When you are considering a new home, there is so much more than the bedroom and bathroom count to consider. Items like the kitchen counters, plumbing and lighting fixtures and even the landscape can all be modified to fit your personality…what can never be changed about a prospective home is the neighborhood its located in. This single issue is perhaps the most critical element to selecting that perfect dream home. What to consider when evaluating a neighborhood Local Laws – Throughout Riverside County each city has their own laws on the books that often dictate what can and cannot be done with residential real estate. In some cities, the laws change from neighborhood to neighborhood. In the unincorporated areas of Riverside County there are county ordinances that must be adhered to. Depending on where you end up calling home the local laws can be dramatically different than what you are currently used to. You may find that there are restrictions on where you can park and during which hours (no overnight parking is not that uncommon in parts of the county). There may be limitations as to what type of vehicle (commercial?) can be parked in a residential neighborhood. Other cities can and do restrict the type of animals allowed which means your pet pot belly pig may not be permitted. Most cities restrict the raising of any livestock, including chickens and goats from residential neighborhoods. Other cities will restrict the color you can paint a house (which means you don’t have to worry about having a neighbor with a purple fetish). These types of laws are known as either “protective covenants” or “restrictive covenants.” It’s important to become familiar with the law of the land before you take possession. These laws are intended to protect property values (tax base) and are what’s perceived to be what the vast majority of the people do not want in their established neighborhoods. Homeowner Associations – The HOA usually either provides valu-
able amenities and services or be a drain on your very existence. Never assume you know how they operate, as they run the entire gamut from being very professional and caring well-oiled machines to corrupt, inefficient and even petty overlords. It’s so important to know what you’re getting into with your HOA before you agree to live by their rules. Do you due diligence by speaking to your new neighbors, research them on the Internet and even plan on attending a meeting (typically held once a month). There are so many homeowners who loved the home they bought only to be overwhelmed by the restrictions imposed by their HOA. It is so important to get your priorities straight when picking a neighborhood to live in. Taxes and Insurance – Here in California homeowners are protected under the provisions of Prop 13 so that their property taxes are very predictable year-after-year. Insurance, on the other hand is anything but predictable. We have high risk areas for fire and earthquakes…two very real realities of life in Southern California. It’s important to understand how the local taxes work and what the insurance companies think of the area your proposed neighborhood is located in. When considering your property taxes, make certain you investigate and fully understand any “special assessments” that are bundled with the property taxes and when they will expire. Noise and Odors – Sure that railroad track must be a half a mile away, but when that 100 car freight train goes rolling through at 4 a.m. you have got to ask yourself if this is what you bargained for. Maybe being close to the new hospital is a good thing until you start to hear the ambulances at all hours of the day and night. Consider the noise level of a nearby school, when the kids are out for recess playing or there are 100 cars crowding the nearby streets waiting to pick up the children. How about the convenience to the freeway – what level of noise does that bring to your property (remember, it’s not just the inside, think of those summer BBQs you want to hold). Another environmental issue you need to consider is the local odors. Riverside County has a lot of agriculture land that is covered with either crops or livestock. One creates a lot of fertilizer and the other consumes a lot of fertilizer – either way there may be an unpleasant odor that finds its way
to your home (along with the flies and other insects). Entertainment – The good news is that Riverside County offers something for everyone. Being close to the things you like to do means that you get to do them more often. If you like wine tasting, then the Temecula Valley Wine Country is for you. If hiking is your thing, there are many trails scattered throughout the county. Live concerts and other cultural events may have you considering being close to either downtown Riverside or Old Town Temecula. Regardless of what you enjoy, there is a neighborhood in Riverside County to accommodate you. Internet and Cellphone Coverage – In today’s connected world, high speed Internet access has become a critical element to consider when home shopping. Just as critical, if not more, is having a good cell signal at the new home. Today, so many people are working from home and have given up traditional land lines. It’s imperative that a neighborhood has the capabilities to stay connected. Exterior Light – This depends on what you want. Some people find comfort with bright street lights offering a level of security while others cherish the darkness of the night and don’t want it invade by parking lot lights, street lights, traffic lights or any other light source that might invade your space. Bike Lanes – There are many ordinances on the books protecting bicyclists and establishing bona fide bike lanes and paths. Some communities embrace this and go above and beyond making their cities “bike friendly” while others may not be in compliance with all of the rules in force. In addition to bike lanes, many neighborhoods will also have fitness parks and jogging trails to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for the residents. Just a couple more things to consider. Prioritize There are going to be many factors into finding the perfect place to call home. It’s more than just what is found within the walls or even the property boundaries. The local neighborhood is where you will be living, meeting ne friends and raiding your family. There is much to consider. This list cannot be all inclusive, but it is a good place to start you thinking outside the box of the walls of the home and at the neighborhood as a whole. Life is not all about how close you are to work or how close the shopping district is or how you’re
Return to reasonable lending opens door to homeownership Dave Liniger Special to the Valley News Home buying season is heating up. Homes sold faster in April than at any point in almost the last two years, according to data released by the National Association of Realtors. Existing-home sales are on pace to top 5 million this year. Consumers are rushing into the housing market thanks in part to the Federal Housing Administration’s decision to reduce mortgage insurance premiums by 0.5 percent earlier this year. The move could save 2 million homeowners an average of $900 a year and allow a quarter of a million Americans to buy their first home. Affordable financing doesn’t just help homebuyers. An increase in the number of potential buyers boosts prices for sellers. And it encourages builders to expand the supply of housing, which benefits the entire economy. Lenders and regulators must commit to maintaining reasonable mortgage lending standards like these, which lay the foundation for sustained economic prosperity. In recent years, many potential homebuyers have faced excessively strict lending requirements, including higher fees and premiums for mortgages insured by the federal government. These regulations prevented thousands of Americans with good credit from buying homes – especially young people and minorities. In 2014, the millennial generation was responsible for 32 percent of all home sales. Currently, only 30 percent of sales are to first-time buyers. That’s 10 percent below the historical average. FHA has been seeing fewer mortgage applications because of the agency’s high fees and insurance rates. Homebuyers have found cheaper mortgages elsewhere – or
put off homeownership entirely. FHA was created to help expand access to homeownership, especially to first-time buyers. By cutting insurance premiums, it will be able to fulfill that mission once again. The agency’s critics claim that “loosening” credit standards will lead to another housing crisis. But today’s lending environment is vastly different from the pre-crisis one of seven years ago. It’s wrong to punish today’s borrowers for the problematic lending practices of the past. Further, when evaluating a mortgage application, lenders prefer to develop a complete picture of a borrower. The financial crisis came about in large part because lenders failed to verify the information behind that picture. A return to the traditional practice of documentation and verification has led to the highest quality of underwritten loans and the lowest default rate in over a decade. FHA has coupled its lending reforms with a $21 billion improvement in its single-family insurance fund, which compensates lenders in the event of default. Last year, for the first time since 2006, the agency’s capital reserves increased year-overyear and had a positive balance. Other players in the mortgage market are following suit. Mortgage guarantors Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have reduced down-payment requirements for first-time homebuyers. Under the new terms, buyers will only need to put down 3 percent of the home’s cost, rather than the previous minimum of 5 percent. Down payments alone are poor predictors of default. FHA has successfully insured loans with 3.5 percent down for decades. Like FHA, Fannie and Freddie have retained guidelines ensuring that potential borrowers have strong credit scores and full documentation. The two government-sponsored enterprises have also promised to
pursue a more reasonable practice of mortgage “put backs.” They’ll no longer require private lenders to assume responsibility for loans simply because they had typos. Rather than lead to another financial crisis, the federal government’s new policies will empower folks who were previously prevented from becoming homeowners. That’s good for the economy. Every home sale generates $60,000 in additional economic activity. By committing to lower mortgage insurance costs and reasonable lending requirements, our nation’s top housing officials can signal that they’re serious about making homeownership a reality for millions of Americans. That’s a move we should all get behind. Liniger is CEO, chairman, and co-founder of RE/MAX LLC.

Win at Santa Maria, retirement ceremony at Perris concludes Gaunt’s driving career
Driver Rickie Gaunt retired at Perris Auto Speedway on July 4.
Joe Naiman Writer Sprint car racer Rickie Gaunt retired as a driver on July 4 at Perris Auto Speedway. Although Gaunt crashed during his final race, he was honored by the track prior to the Budweiser Firecracker 40 competition which completed his behind-the-wheel career.
“They made it pretty dang special for me,” Gaunt said. Gaunt was given a plaque which listed his major wins at Perris. “It was really just a nice little plaque,” he said. Gaunt won a total of 21 races during his career, placing him among the top 20 all-time winners in the 70-year history of the United States Auto Club/California Racing Association or its predecessors. Eleven of those victories, five with

USAC/CRA and six with the Sprint Car Racing Association, took place at Perris. “I’ve raced there for 20 years since its opening,” Gaunt said. Track promoter Don Kazarian and his brothers opened the Perris track in 1996. “The Kazarian family I’ve known for my whole adult life pretty much,” Gaunt said. After the sprint cars were introduced for the feature they preceded their pace laps with a four-wide
trip around the half-mile dirt oval. “They had me lead the whole pack of cars,” Gaunt said. Gaunt qualified 12th among the 33 drivers on July 4 with a lap of 17.066 seconds. He competed in the fourth heat race and finished fifth in that ten-lap event. The first four finishers in each of the four heat races automatically advanced to the feature while the remaining drivers competed in the 12-lap semi-main with the top six of those earning entry into the Budweiser Firecracker 40. A second-place finish in the semi-main allowed Gaunt to conclude his driving career in the feature. The crash prevented Gaunt from finishing his final race. “A car stopped in front of me and I had no place to go,” he said. Gaunt was given 19th place for the feature. “It was fine. I just tried to make light of it,” he said. “This is the way it went, but I won the night before,” Gaunt said. “I couldn’t ask for a better weekend.” The Doug Fort Memorial race was held on July 3 at Santa Maria Raceway. Gaunt qualified sixth among the 24 drivers, won his heat race, and then led all 30 laps to win the feature. “It had been five years since I won a race,” Gaunt said. Gaunt’s previous win was the Sokola Shootout at Perris in 2009. “I’ve been struggling for a while,” he said. “It was nice to finally win.” After his successful race at Santa Maria, Gaunt was queried about retiring a day early so that he could conclude his career with the victory. “I said: ‘I can’t retire. I want to finish my career off at Perris’,” he said. Gaunt thus ended the driving portion of his racing career with the crash. “That’s how I started my racing career, and that’s how I finished it,” he said. Gaunt was 20 when he began racing at Ascot Park in 1989. “I met a guy that had a sprint car,” he said. “I got lucky.” His career as a racing driver lasted 27 years. Although he did not win at race at Ascot before that track closed after the 1990 season, his first win was at Santa Maria in a winged sprint car in 1991. Gaunt thus had both his first victory and his final driving win at Santa Maria. “It was like a storybook ending,” he said. Family issues rather than the five-year drought between victories led to Gaunt’s decision to retire as a driver. “Our lives are so busy that it’s kind of taken away from the family,” he said. Gaunt met his wife, Denice,
while they were attending Torrance High School. Their two sons also graduated from Torrance High School. Mavrick Gaunt is 21 and now attends Chapman University. Chasen Gaunt is 19 and attends Concordia University. Both of Rickie Gaunt’s sons play college water polo. His two children are also now involved in off-road motorsports. “They’re racing also and they’re getting more and more involved in that,” Gaunt said. “That’s a lot of work and it requires a lot of time,” Gaunt said. “That’s really what I’m going to kind of concentrate on.” Gaunt is a lifelong Torrance resident and grew up about ten minutes away from the Ascot Park track which was in Gardena and held races from 1957 to 1990. “We could hear the cars. If we weren’t able to make it to the race we could hear them from my house, so I kind of grew up at Ascot,” he said. Gaunt watched sprint cars, midget cars and motorcycles at Ascot during his childhood. He was born on Oct. 6, 1968, which was a Sunday. His father attended the Saturday races at Ascot the night before and when he returned home Gaunt’s mother was in labor. Gaunt’s first win at Perris was the 1999 Oval Nationals. He first raced at Perris in 1996, the year the track opened. “I broke. The track was really, really rough,” he said. Gaunt’s tail tank was ripped from the car. “It just ripped off the car,” he said. “It pulled the fuel line loose and that was it.” The car ran out of fuel. Gaunt’s Perris victories also include the 2002 July 4 Firecracker race and the 2004 Jack Kindoll Classic. “I want to thank all the fans,” Gaunt said of his Perris driving career. Dave Miller owned the car Gaunt drove in the July 4 race at Perris. Sean McDonald owns the car Gaunt used for his July 3 win at Santa Maria. McDonald has been involved with Perris Auto Speedway for 15 years. “That was another thing that was extra special,” Gaunt said. “It was just a feel-good story.” Gaunt will continue to attend PAS races as a spectator and will still be involved with McDonald’s car in a non-driving capacity. “We’re going to keep that thing going,” Gaunt said. The retirement ceremony added to Gaunt’s PAS memories. “I don’t have any one particular absolute favorite,” he said. “They made it a family atmosphere, so it was really nice for my wife and kids to go there,” Gaunt said of Perris. “It was a lot of fun.”
