Anza Days Parade a hometown tradition

Local Lore

Developer of the Pinyon Pines Subdivision; Arthur “Art” Nightingale a Man with Dreams Harry Quinn Local Contributor Art used to replace the water lines and add new ones in the Pinyon Pines subdivision with his old dozer and a large horse-drawn plow. He would hook the plow to the back of the dozer with a cable and Val Bixby would handle the plow as it was being pulled by the dozer. see page A-8

The Thimble Club Float “Our Heroes” was the winner of the President’s Trophy.

Allison Renck Local Contributor When it comes to Fourth of July celebrations in small town communities all over America, traditions run deep. In the small Southern California community of Anza, you see these traditions acted out in their Anza

Days Celebration, which occurred on July 5. The community has celebrated its own special uniqueness with its Anza Days Celebration for 82 years now. One of Anza’s traditions is its parade, an event that fills the sides of Highway 371 with young and old spectators. It’s interesting to observe how

on this one day a year, before the road is closed for the parade, car travelers through this small community must slow down to speeds under the 45 mph posted, otherwise they might risk hitting a parade spectator. Some spectators that had staked out their parade viewing area under the trees by the Catholic Church

looked relaxed as they waited for the parade to start. When asked what they liked about the parade, Esperanza Ortega said, “The candy that everyone throws to the kids.” April Zimmerman said she likes, “Seeing all the fire trucks.”

Anza Days queen crowned Anza Days “Party in the at Anza Lions Barbeque Park” Allison Renck Local Contributor Bands were playing, kids were tossing bean bags in hopes they’d win a prize and people were enjoying snow cones and cotton candy. This was the scene at the Anza Days “Party in the Park,” which is what members of the local community named the event. The “Party in the Park” was running simultaneously with the parade and it ran the entire day on July 5. In fact, most participants started the day off at the Anza Community Hall with the annual breakfast served by the Thimble Club. Those stationed on the parade route often miss the early events that happen at the park. At the park the Red School House bell was rung to signal the start of the proceedings that lead to the parade. This year’s bell ringer was Jeff

Hawthorn. Once the bell is rung, the color guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars raises the United States of America flag and then someone sings the national anthem. After these events the parade is officially started. Kathy Blair sang the National Anthem this year. The parade is not the only activity that attracts the people’s attention. Many people attending the event are out buying things from the vendors or visiting with neighbors and friends. During this event volunteers Kathy Hamilton, Don Hamilton, Tom Huss, Christy Huss, Daryl Hosler and Bud Wellmen from the Anza Radio club were helping to make sure the Public Address System was functioning well. In the vendor area the Hamilton Booster Club has games set up for

Rural media threatened by change Alan Thomas Local Contributor Seventeen-year-old Emma Hennings was crowned this year’s “queen” at the Miss Anza Days pageant. Allison Renck photo

Allison Renck Local Contributor The festivities for Anza Days began with a barbeque fundraiser for the Anza Lions Club on Friday, July 4; it was held at the Anza Community Hall. Many tables were set up inside the community hall due to the extremely hot weather outside. The hall provided cool and welcoming relief to those who attended the barbeque. The food consisted of tender barbeque meat, barbeque beans, salad and cupcakes for desert. Barbeque fundraiser organizers served an estimated 150 people and ran out of food before 6:30 p.m. Selling tickets at the door was Carol Franeo, who is a new mem-

ber to Lions Club. Franeo said she was enjoying selling the tickets, because it gave her the opportunity to meet new people from the community. Franeo also organized the Lions Club Miss Anza Days pageant, where young ladies of the community compete for the Miss Anza title by selling raffle tickets that benefit Anza Valley. This year’s queen, Emma Hennings, 17, of Anza was crowned at the barbeque. Emma said she became interested in the pageant when she ran last year and was first runner up. She said that this year she kept an eye out for the article in the newspaper about the upcoming pageant

AEC - Have you ever wondered? Jodi Thomas Have you ever wondered why your electric bill says Anza Electric Cooperative (AEC) and what that means exactly? Have you ever asked yourself how an electric co-op came into being and why we are connected to other co-ops? Perhaps you have wondered who these co-ops are. These questions have many historical and interesting answers, and Anza can be proud of the history it has made starting back in the mid ‘50s. From that period until now, Anza has successfully mantained its electric independence and democratic style co-op which is responsible for the electrification of the areas homes and business to this day. AEC’s full history by Barbara Bradford can be read online at AEC’s website. That history can also be found in the “Let there be Light” pamphlets at an Annual Membership Meeting. Rural electric cooperatives such as Anza Electric Cooperative, Inc. are different from investor owned utilities, whose primary objective is to make a profit. A rural electric cooperative is a non-profit business that exists solely to provide its members with electricity. Believe it or not members can experience the cooperative difference every day; each person that receives their electricity via AEC has membership in the co-op and is a voting member. And as a non-forprofit company, excess operating revenue at the end of the year must be returned to its membership in the form of Capital Credits. The amount returned is in proportion to the member’s electric bills. To active members bill credits will be issued. These will be reflected on your AEC September bill as a credit. Former members who no longer have service will be receiving checks if their check amount is greater than $25.00. The membership owned co-op is

run by seven elected board members chosen from the community along with hired staff. These board members are up for election every three years. There are two candidates running for District I, this year’s Board, Ryall Steward the incumbent and Steve Packard the challenger; both men have had fliers and ads in the local papers declaring their intent as well as attended a Meet the Candidate forum early in June. All members are called to come to exercise their membership democratic rights and learn about the AEC goings on at the Annual Membership Meeting on July 19th. Your voting ballets for District Board I can be found in the July issue of the Currents Magazine, they can be dropped off at the AEC office before July 19th. Your last chance to turn in your voting ballets for District l will be no later than 9 a.m. at the Annual Membership meeting. The day of the meeting will start out with registration and breakfast at 7:30 a.m. served by the Thimble Club, a long standing tradition. At 9 a.m. the meeting is called to order and a variety of special speakers will be on hand to share about your AEC and the Cooperatives that support it. Also this year’s keynote speaker will be State Assemblyman Brain Jones. Cash prizes are given at the meeting and are chosen from the pool of those registered members who signed in. Co-op Connection Business’ will also be on hand to share about their business. Anza Electric Cooperative does not stand alone; it is one of many that benefit from the parent cooperative of Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives. Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO), Southwest Transmission Cooperative (SWTC), and Sierra Southwest Cooperative Services collectively form Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives (G&Ts). AEPCO owns and operates the

605 (combined gross) megawatt Apache Generating Station at Cochise, Arizona, east of Benson. . The G&Ts and the Member Cooperatives provide wholesale power to not-for-profit utilities. Who is Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives and what is Cooperative Energy? According to their website: Although each of the three Arizona G&T Cooperatives is a separate entity, they operate much like a single member-owned, notfor-profit electric generation and transmission (G&T) cooperative. Working together, our employees fulfill the joint mission of providing reliable, affordable power to electric coops across the Southwest. Arizona Electric Power Cooperative Inc. (AEPCO) provides power to more than 147,000 electric meters and 350,000 people in Arizona, California and New Mexico through six Class A member distribution cooperatives. One of 68 G&T electric coops in the nation, AEPCO owns and operates Apache Generating Station near Cochise, east of Benson. The plant has a combined gross generating capacity of 605 megawatts. AEPCO also purchases power to meet member energy needs during peak summer energy use. Southwest Transmission Cooperative Inc. (SWTC) operates and maintains more than 620 miles of electric power transmission line and 26 substations reaching out from AEPCO’s Apache Generating Station, across Arizona to the northwestern corner of the state. SWTC also operates more than 30 telecommunications towers used for phone and data relay services

by SWTC’s member cooperatives and customers. Sierra Southwest Cooperative Services Inc. (Sierra) provides most human resources needs to AEPCO and SWTC-although each of these sister electric co-ops have a small number of direct employees. Sierra’ employees provide services including engineering, accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, planning, communications, secretarial and administration. In addition, Sierra provides a menu of human resource services to Golden Spread Electric Cooperative in Texas. All three of the G&T cooperatives are members of Touchstone Energy, a national alliance of more than 700 independently owned electric coops in 46 states. Touchstone Energy members agree to provide high standards of service to customers and maintain a strong commitment to the brand’s promise of integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community. The individual co-ops whose power and resources come from and who are associated with the Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives are: In Arizona; Springs Sulfur Valley Electric Cooperative in Wilcox, Duncan Valley Electric Cooperative in Duncan, Graham County Electric Cooperative in Pima, Trico Electric Cooperative in Marana, Mohave Electric Cooperative in Bullhead City, and the California member, Anza Electric Cooperative in Anza. The Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives website is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to learning

about how our local co-op will be effected in the future concerning the EPA’s new standards as well as explaining the co-ops stance as a hold on maintaining affordable energy along with conservation of the environment for animals and people while doing so. Check out the news section for news stories which share current events that affect our co-ops at www.azgt. coop/azgt. Some of the other cooperatives we as a co-op belong to are: The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) is the national service organization for more than 900 not-for-profit rural electric coops and public power districts providing retail electric service to more than 42 million consumers in 47 states. Website www.nreca.coop The Grand Canyon State Electric Cooperative Association (GCSECA) gives Arizona’s electric cooperatives a unified voice in state and national regulatory and legislative matters. We also benefit from GCSECA’s safety and loss control training, regulatory assistance, education programs and a variety of communications tools, including Currents Magazine. Website www. gcseca.coop As a California Co-op we also a member of The Golden State Power Cooperatives who keep our Co-op abreast of California laws and they also represent our co-op interest in the state on our behalf.

M-COR’s starts food buying club co-op Jodi Thomas Did you know Anza Valley has a Food Buying Club Co-op where you can buy a variety of items? It was birthed out of a brain storming meeting M-COR held over a year ago at the Little Red School House in Anza. Participants were introduced to the idea, and they collectively looked over their options and decided which food company they would order through and how the Food Buying Club Co-op would all work out. One of the future goals that the group decided on that day was that the Food Buying Club Co-op would to be a stepping stone to having a local food co-op store location in the area someday. According to M-COR, those who buy from the co-op save time, gas and money. It is convenient because your groceries are delivered right here to Anza Valley once a month.

various awards. The judges this year included Terry Wright, Kari Sancez and Bruce DeMange. Margaret Kohler waited patiently under a blue umbrella, ready for the judges to arrive and Judge the Veterans of Foreign Wars Float. Ms. Kohler is a veteran of the US Navy; she served during the Korean War. Ms. Kohler said she served by doing desk work, which enabled more men to serve in combat. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Float was awarded the Grand Prize. It depicted the theme of the parade “Heroes & Superheros” by having a field of white crosses representing American’s Military members that had made the ultimate sacrifice of death. The field was below a picture of Mount Rushmore, which depicts the heroes, which are the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. The Calvary Chapel High Country Church’s Float highlights the heroes of the Bible. Kirk Bates reportedly brought this idea to life. The church members, who participated by dressing in costumes, said it took three days to construct their float. They received the award for best musical entry. Lorraine’s Pet Supply Store built a float that highlighted children’s superheroes. The superheroes that some of the float riders dressed as included Pecos Bill, Spider Man, Wonder Woman, Indiana Jones, Spartacus, DeadPool and Bat Girl. This float was awarded the Theme Prize. The parade had more than one Bat Girl, and she was Anne York from the Redshank Riders Equestrian Entry and she was riding her Bat Mobile Elvis the horse. She was accompanied by seven other Redshank members on horseback and the “Trail Builders” superheroes in the truck driven by Laurie Straton. Due to Stacy Kuhns’ superhero “Mighty Mule” they were awarded Best Mule Theme. The grand marshal of the parade was Mr. Raymond Castellano, who is a USMC Korean War Veteran. This flowed well with the parade theme of heroes. He rode in the Best Antique Vehicle winner, a 1946 Chevy Truck owned by Milt “Jordy” Jordon. The other parade participants included:

Anza Local

The Anza Valley Attraction Brianne Hopkins Todd Kelsey Local Contributor Hey neighbors, welcome back. I hope you’ve come to this column while enjoying a beautiful day below our big sky. Today we are visiting with another long time resident, Brianne Hopkins. Now, unlike our last two neighbors we met, Brianne moved to Anza Valley twice. And it’s a very interesting coincidence why. The first move happened when she and her parents lived in Fontana, and her parents wanted common family things like a country lifestyle, a safe environment, and cleaner air as well. They looked in the general region out here and chose Anza Valley in the end, buying property in 1987. They moved Brianne and her siblings up here in 1994, and she graduated from Hamilton High in 1998. Here is where that interesting coincidence enters in. Brianne

then attended Cal Poly Pomona for college, and eventually met her husband Daniel there. Now the interesting coincidence is that Daniel grew up in Anza. In fact his great-grandmother was the youngest of the five Cary children who grew up on a local ranch here, dating back to 1902. You may be wondering why they didn’t meet in school? Maybe? Well anyway, he had attended elementary and middle school here, but his family moved to Arizona at that point. At the same time he moved, Brianne’s family came here, and she went to high school, unknowingly sharing many of the same friends as Daniel. Brianne says, with a laugh, that had they been in school together, they probably would not have ended up together! Looks to me though, that it’s just possible, they were meant to be together. So they were living in Fontana, finishing school, working full-

time. When they were ready to start a family, both agreed to move back up to Anza Valley. As Brianne points out, where else could a couple in their twenties buy acreage and build on it? Plus, they knew they liked the quiet, the air quality, the relatively safe area. She likes that it’s close enough to the beach and the desert for off-roading. She likes both Hamilton schools here. As others have stated, she agrees that the main thing our schools and community need is more involvement and support from citizens and parents. She has seen a lot of local opportunities wasted, and envisions many possibilities and needs for growth and new services. Brianne reminds us that there is a Boys and Girls Club, High Country Recreation, and Lions Club among others in Anza Valley, but they need more support and new faces to get involved. The Boys & Girls Club has 10 acres that could be developed

Anza VFW Post #1873 and Its Auxiliaries Mid July News Tonie Ford We may have solved the mystery of the plants coming up in the compost pile. Someone said they may be gourds. We’ve never had gourds around here so I don’t know where the seeds could have come from. All I know is they’re taking over the southeast corner of the garden. My son accidentally broke one off and brought it in. It was hard to cut. The seeds inside looked like cantaloupe seeds and the pulp was very hard and tasteless. Guess we’ll have to wait awhile longer to find out for sure. All members of the community are invited to come and enjoy our meals and activities. You don’t have to be a member. Full dinners are served on Wednesday and Friday from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m., and breakfasts are served on Sunday from 8:30 until 10:00 a.m. We’re always ready to bring new members into the Men’s Post and Ladies’ and Men’s Auxiliaries. Volunteers, whether members or not, are always welcome

to cook, help with the upkeep and more. It takes a lot of work as well as man and woman power to keep the Post going. If you’re interested in joining, call the Post at (951)763-4439.

for kids to use after school or on weekends. And although she greatly credits Gordon Lanik and others for doing a wonderful job maintaining the old ball field here, she’d love to see a newer updated field for the kids. She mentions a Charter School that had good initial support, but fell through due to a variety of fiascos. The truth is that a lot of locals, including her husband, have to commute down the hill to work. However, she wishes residents would create or contribute to local opportunities for growth, and options for recreation or business. There’s enough population and need in Anza Valley for us to pull together in a combined effort and

offer more options for ourselves and our kids, she said. As the popular slogan says, “Think Locally!” In the meantime, Brianne- who has a daughter, runs a daycare, does income tax services, has periodically offered those in need a room to stay in, and helps her Mom at the Hamilton K-8 school library- can be counted on to lend a hand and be in the thick of things. So, in regards to those who may wonder, why Anza Valley? What’s the attraction? Brianne would say beautiful scenery, affordable land, convenient location, good schools, clean air, and a myriad of opportunities for growth. Okay, we may be biased and boastful, but it’s all true! Take care neighbors!

Letter to the Editor

Abandoned Children Dear Editor, A young American Citizen who was apparently out of work and homeless left her baby in a stroller on a crowded subway ramp in New York. Based on the news, she was homeless and broke and felt that she could not take care of the baby and hoped that someone else would care for the child. She has been arrested for child abandonment and will probably face fines and jail time. A young illegal alien mother abandons her child at the American border and the child enters the USA illegally. She most likely will not

be arrested for child abandonment, even if she is living in the USA, and probably faces no jail time or fine and the America public must care for the child. Talk about prejudice, this country apparently has no obligation to take care of its own homeless children but must take care of any non-American children dumped at our borders. What has happened to the American justice system? Respectfully submitted, Harry M. Quinn Mountain Center

Past president Mr. Lopez and new president Rick Brengle said the games help raise funds for the Hamilton High School Athletic Program. Rick Brengle said their goal for this year was to increase more community involvement. Brengle also wanted to remind everyone about their ongoing fund

raiser of Buy a School Tile. This is where you purchase a tile and design it before having it placed at Hamilton High School. This is a great way for Hamilton High School Graduates, their families and the community to show they support the athletic program. The Valley Gospel Church had a vendor booth raising funds for the church. Kaci Uecker, Maddie James, Allana Lopez and Becca James were helping in the booth

selling snow cones and cotton candy. The ladies reported the best thing about helping was getting free cotton candy. Some of the attendees of the event were out dancing while the Barnyard Boyz played music; others sat in the shade and just listened to the music. Overall it appeared that people were enjoying the “Party in the Park” in their own way.

Veterans Mike Mrsny and Lenton Garrison stand at attention while the flag is raised in the park before the start of the Anza Days Parade.

Rural media threatened by change Alan Thomas Local Contributor What is happening to rural America’s representation in the media? Recently the few remaining transmissions of Rural America TV have been slated for the chopping block as big Telecommunication Companies merge, an issue that is not widely known. There seems to be a disconnect taking place in these big companies who view rural America’s interests as benign. This general apathy is threatining the already minute availability for rural areas to view news and rural media programing that applies to them and their way of life on these companies cable and satellites stations. The crisis has come to a credo and as of now most rural programing on the larger cable and satellite companies accessibility is being threatened to even exist. The following content is from the Washington Free Beacon.com and the RFD-TV Station which is an independent channel that deals with large farming communities: Rural Stations have already been eliminated from Colorado and New Mexico in August of 2013 from Comcast programming. Then two days later Comcast added Al Jazeera America (news) and BBC

World News. Comcast is planning a merger with Time Warner Cable that involves Direct TV. Patrick Gottsch, founder and Chairman of Rural Media Group, has gone before the House Subcommittee on regulatory reform for a hearing to keep their programming available. “We are primarily an urbanclustered cable company. Even in Western states most of our customers are in the urban area,” said David Cohen, Executive Vice President for Comcast. “It is our goal of providing our customers content they want to see.” The RFD TV group is requesting that people respond for the FCC to hear their concerns for support. If you care about your rural way of life and want to continue to see rural programing on Direct TV, now is the time to make your stand and let them know how you feel about having access to rural programing. To do this go to www.rfdtv.com, and click on the contact the FCC to support RFD TV and read their story. You can then respond through the info provided to keep rural programing on the air.

BARBEQUE from page A-1 and then signed up. Emma was the only contestant, although she would have been difficult to beat, because she sold 500 raffle tickets. Emma has lived in Anza since the start of first grade and she said she loves getting involved in the community. She will be a senior in the fall at Hamilton High School and in the future she wants to enlist in the Navy and work toward becoming a medical doctor. Emma said that selling the raffle tickets helped her develop her communication and sales skills. During the barbeque, the New Miss Anza drew tickets for the Raffle prizes. The prizes included an iPod, iPad and TV. The Lions also held a 50/50 drawing. The winner of the grand prize, the IPAD, was Kathy Vellanoweth. All the dinner attendees appeared to be enjoying the event, with laughter and lively discussions going on. One group of ladies was dressed in festive red, white and blue outfits. Tonie Ford was one of these ladies, and she said she was having a great time “The food is good and the company great,” she said. As the barbeque was winding

Developer of the Pinyon Pines Subdivision;

Arthur “Art” Nightingale a Man with Dreams Harry Quinn Local Contributor Art used to replace the water lines and add new ones in the Pinyon Pines subdivision with his old dozer and a large horse-drawn plow. He would hook the plow to the back of the dozer with a cable and Val Bixby would handle the plow as it was being pulled by the dozer. In areas of soft ground the pipe would be over a foot deep and in hard ground it would be nearly at the surface. All of the subdivisions main lines were one inch pipe and the main line from Omstott Spring down to the water tank was originally one inch, but had been replaced by 1 3/4 inch pipe by the

time we owned our cabin. Back then the only water source for the subdivision was Omstott Spring. It was never Stump Spring as reported by Robinson and Risher, as Stump Spring only supplied water to Art’s log cabin up on Santa Rosa Mountain. Even then, the water had to be hand-carried from the spring to the cabin until pipes were installed, probably after Art sold the cabin. When my half-brother returned from Europe after World War II in 1945, he wanted to buy some land up in the big trees on Santa Rosa Mountain. He had made arrangement to meet Art up at the Stump Spring cabin so he could look at a 40 acre parcel with a spring on it that Art wanted to sell. Once up there, we were caught

A Bird in the Truck? Mallard Fudd Years ago in Anza, I had the opportunity to go Dove hunting with some friends of mine, in a canyon east of town. Of course this same canyon is now inaccessible to anyone that doesn’t walk on tippy toes and have all the necessary permits paid for (but that’s another story). Anyway, the three of us jumped into a pickup and drove down the canyon. We parked the truck beside a dry wash bordered by cottonwood trees and waited. We knew that the birds had a habit of flying up the canyon from the desert going to their feeding fields in Anza. The birds had a very good chance of getting passed us unscathed, because of the limited view of the sky that we had as well as the tremendous speed that they are able to attain during flight. Soon after we placed ourselves the flyovers

began. At first several were missed. Finally when we became accustomed to the flight path and speed to be expected we began bagging a few birds. I was watching at the ready when I saw one flying to my left. Leading the bird with my shotgun I squeezed off the shot. The bird landed directly in the middle of the wash. Jim, a close friend of mine said, “Nice shot.” I told him, “Yeah I don’t like walking through the brush to get a bird.” Not five minutes latter another bird flew over and Jim took the shot. Unbelievably the bird fell (as if planned) right into the back of the pickup. Jim turned to me with a grin and said, “I don’t like to walk!” All names have been changed to protect the…innocent?

One night his place caught fire and burned to the ground before any fire engines could get here from Kenworthy, which was the closest fire station back then. Art always told me that it was arson to cover up a crime of robbery. He had all his surveying equipment and several rifles, none of which were ever found in the ashes. This type of metal item does not usually burn. I think I still have an old commercial hand operated meat grinder that came from the camp kitchen, which burned down with the house and a couple of out buildings. Since it was no longer serviceable, he let me take it from the ashes, along with a few other items that he did not want anymore, but well after the burned area had cooled down. There was an elderly couple, the Messengers, who lived in a tent down in the Pinyon Pines Camp Ground. Our camp was often near theirs when we camped down there. We met them when we were living in our tent down at the campground before my grandparents bought our cabin in December of 1941. They had a Model-T Ford which they parked next to their tent. One night the car caught fire and the fire ignited the tent and burned most of their belongings, both in the tent and the car. People up here pooled together to help replace much of their clothing, cooking utensils, and eating gear and Art let them move into a small cabin he owned near the northwest corner of Sugarloaf Avenue and Pinyon Drive. They lived there for a couple of years, but now I cannot remember when or why they left. We used to have several of the V-shaped magnets that came from the magneto on their Model-T. My grandfather and I used them to pick up nails in the yard at our cabin and from the streets near the cabin, as all the streets were dirt

in a blizzard and could not go out to look at the property. “Silver” Miller had made a large pot of split-pea soup, so we stayed inside the cabin eating soup and biscuits, playing cards, drinking coffee, and watching the snow come down. By late afternoon the snow quit, but we had gone up the mountain in my grandfather’s 1939 Chevrolet so could go nowhere in the deep snow. Art had his old dozer at the cabin and had to take it down to a point above Santa Rosa Spring for some reason that I can no longer remember, so he took off from the cabin plowing snow with his dozer. We left about a half hour later and caught up with him a couple of miles down the road. About a half mile more down the road from where we met him, the road was nearly clear as it had not snowed below that elevation. We left Art, still walking his cat down the road, and returned to our cabin at Pinyon. A couple of months later my halfbrother, Lt. Robert E. Lee, had to go into the hospital and his hospital stay took all the money he was going to use to buy the land up on the mountain. Soldiers returning from the war did not get much financial or medical help after they got out of the service, even for problems caused by that service. Not much different than today. Art had asthma and back in those days the atomizers were made of glass with a rubber bulb on one end. He used to carry a couple with him when he was operating his old orange colored dozer, as the dust would activate his asthma. Being glass, these atomizers often did not last long, as he would break them by hitting them on something or by stepping on them when he laid them down to work on something. I think he bought them by the case, as he was always able to go back to his house and get another one.

back then. These dirt streets always seemed to acquire nails, especially roofing nails, probably from trash being hauled over to the dump. After Art died, the small cabin that had been used by the Messengers became the home of “Silver” Miller. “Silver” had been the wife of Jack Miller, but decided to become the camp cook at Nightingale’s camp at the end of one their trips over to Jack’s mine and rockhouse over in Martinez Canyon. While Jack returned to the Temecula area, “Silver” stayed here. She basically lived at Art’s place during most of the time I knew her. Art’s wife, Mae Nightingale, did not live up here during the time that we were up here. She was a music teacher and lived and worked down in the Los Angeles area and only came up here occasionally. I can only remember meeting her on a couple of occasions while Art was living here. However, after Art had passed away, she had a well drilled, built a house over in section 11, and moved back up here on a permanent basis. She used to be down at the store telling people how things were up here in the past, but many times I had to wonder about what she was saying as I could not remember her even being up here during some of the times she was telling about. Harry Quinn is a local historian who grew up visiting the area with his grandparents at a young age, eventually moving up here permanently. He is a wealth of knowledge on the areas past and its native peoples. He has in the past published some of his accounts in the areas local newspapers back in the days of Carl Long. The AVO is happy he found this story in his files and decided to share it with our readers today. Thank you Harry-Jodi Thomas, AVO’s Area Manger.

Smoke is visible on and of f base he said, but there is no threat to personnel or structures.

Regimental live-fire artillery exercises involve approximately 25 Howitzer 155mm cannons. Depending on atmospheric conditions, the sound of the explosions may be amplified and heard up to 50 miles away.

CAMP PENDLETON - More than one fire has been started today, with the first one around noon. The fires are likely the result of live fire training being conducted today and tomorrow. A prior press release from Camp Pendleton warned of noise that would be generated by 25 Howitzer 155 mm cannons. It appears that there is no threat of structures at this time. The following general information is found on the Marine Corps Camp Pendleton’s fire information pages:

As a result of the nature of some of the live-fire training conducted on Camp Pendleton, impact-area fires are not uncommon. All Camp Pendleton impact-area fires are monitored by base fire fighters to insure they pose no threat to lives or property either on or of f base.

Live-fire training ranges surround what is essentially one large impact area in the middle of the base. In recognition of southern California’s historical vulnerability to fires, the impact area, the training ranges and the boundaries of the base are buf fered by a network of fire breaks.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Romancing the Buyer

Staging a home for sale Paul Bandong Staff Writer Think of this as romancing the buyer – you want your home to look good, smell good, be attractive, welcoming and comfortable. You want the buyers to fall in love with your home. This is more about aesthetics: design, organization and appearance. The goal is to prepare the home to appeal to the most potential buyers, sell the home more quickly and for the highest selling price. You’ve done all the functional and mechanical repairs needed in the home. Now it is time to stage your home, to think about what would be attractive to a buyer. Here are some general guidelines. Curb Appeal. Like a blind date, first impressions are important and that means staging your exterior for maximum curb appeal. This may include a fresh coat of paint on the body and the trim, a neatly mowed and edged lawn (sod and repair as necessary), fresh mulch in flower/plant beds (remove weeds), trim bushes or trees (especially around windows and doors), and clean windows

(screens and frames, too). A new front door or fresh paint on the door is worth the money and effort. Power-washing cement entryways, patios, and driveways can also be a plus. The entryway should be welcoming, free of clutter and well-lit. Use a high-quality welcome mat. Place fresh, bright flowers and plants near the entry. Attract the Buyer In. Bright lighting, fresh smells (vs smoke, pets, last night’s dinner, etc.), clean flooring, fresh flowers and an open spacious entry create a welcoming entrance that makes the buyer want to see the rest of the house. Reduce Clutter. Strive for a simple clean look to maximize the space throughout the house. Reducing the items on shelves, in closets, hallways and cabinets will also give you a head start on packing for moving. Removing personal photos and items will help buyers picture their own items – and themselves -- in the house.

see STAGING, page B-4

When staging the kitchen, de-clutter and maximize usable counter space.

First impressions are important. A neatly mowed and edged lawn, and fresh mulch in flower beds go a long way.

Stock photos

Make bedrooms look comfortable with luxurious bedding and accent pillows. Remove excess furniture and personal photos.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Hardscape in the garden

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer

Think about what you like and enjoy when putting together a garden, as you want it to reflect your personality. Lisa McDonald-Cash photo

Hello, fellow gardeners! This week I thought I’d talk about another very important part of your garden and that is not the plants; its everything else, and its called your “hardscape.” Hardscape consists of items such as your walkways, paths, pool, patio, decks, ornamentation, boulders and more. I consider anything that doesn’t grow hardscape. This should be the first step in

designing a new garden, or redesigning an existing one. Not everybody wants to change their hardscape, and that’s ok, if your existing hardscape fits your garden plan. Take pathways for example. Typically the builder puts in a standard “L” shaped pathway leading to the front door. It’s pretty boring really, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be! You can remove sections of it and insert bricks or lay tiles in where those sections used to be. You can even get it stained and edged, or rip the whole thing out and put in stamped concrete; the choices are endless! The only limit is your own imagination, and of course, resources and finances as well. When I meet a client for the first time, I try to learn something about them from how they decorate their house – what kind of tastes do they have? Are they very neat, or do they have lots of “knick knacks” – do they have hobbies etc. You should do this with yourself, and determine

The addition of waterways such as ponds and fountains can make a striking addition to gardens.

HARDSCAPE from page B-1 what you like. Possibly you might enjoy a spa tub? You could have a stepping stone, or gravel pathway leading to the spa in the backyard. Perhaps you might like to have shrubs surrounding the hot tub also. Think about how you walk around your yard. Where do you naturally want to walk? This is where you need pathways. If you have lawn, you could easily insert large stepping stones recessed right into the lawn and mow right over them. Would you like to have an area outdoors for entertaining? Perhaps a firepit surrounded by a comfortable seating area would work. Firepits are great, both in winter and summer. They have those that can attach to a gas line from the house, or those that use real wood; its up to you to decide. I think water in the garden is an extremely important element, in one form or another. There are many beautiful fountains available to suit literally any and every taste, color, or scheme. Ponds are a lovely addition to a backyard; they add an entire dimension with the water. The water element allows you to get creative and add a number of different features such as a waterfall, beautiful plants, rocks, boulders and aquatic life like fish or turtles to complete the eco system. There are companies that specialize in installing these, or you can get a good book on the subject and “do it yourself.”

There are many places where you can buy the products you need to complete a pond. However, water in general looks nice in what is basically a desert. It’s so nice to have that water element, whether it’s a pool, spa, fountain, or pond in your landscape. Retaining walls are great for leveling out sloped property so that you can then utilize that space for gardening. Again, the material is up to you, but I recommend something that goes with the house, or a similar material or color that is in some other part of the hardscape, such as a walkway. Wood structures such as gazebos, pergolas, patio covers, even archways, all look fantastic in the garden in the right place. Most add welcome shade to an area that might not otherwise have it and welcome people to come and sit awhile, especially if you have some attractive inviting seating provided there as well. Make sure if they are painted that the color goes well with the house. Another part of “hardscaping” is lighting. Many people don’t think much about it, but in Southern California in the summer, outdoors is a really nice place to be, especially if you entertain, or maybe you’re just cooking on that amazing outdoor kitchen or barbeque grill for the family. In addition to lighting the areas you “hang out” in you might also consider the beauty of “uplighting” some key focal points in your

Lisa McDonald-Cash photo

garden – typically large trees, but boulders, waterfalls, a group of cactus, anything that’s particularly “striking” would look great at night with the benefit of uplighting. Gates, walls, fencing – these are all hardscape, and although in many areas, we get what the developer put in, we can still often change that. If you have a choice, do something that reflects your tastes. I like the look of real wood myself, especially redwood or cedar. And there are many variations on fences that you can choose from, depending on your finances and tastes. With gates you can get a little more creative; you can add shapes and other features into them. Be sure to put some thought into how a gate or similar structure will blend with your garden, which should be a reflection on who and what you are. I think rocks and boulders are very important in the garden, as they can have a tremendous presence if placed correctly. They also give you a connection with the earth and nature. I recommend utilizing all the same type of rock or boulders. And if you have gravel, I would try to keep that similar as well. That’s all for this week, folks! If you have questions, feel free to contact me, and as always I am available for consultations and design work. Linda McDonald Landscape Designer www.uniquelandscapes.net (951) 764-4762

Is now the right time to trade-in my home? erty, not allowing owner-occupied financing. In today’s competitive market, most buyers will be willing to cooperate, allowing you to find your new home and close your own escrow if the home is priced right and in great condition. BUYING TECHNIQUES As a move-up buyer with a house to sell, a smart move is to limit your search to homes that have been on the market or 30 days or more. While this is not a long time in a ‘normal’ market, the seller will no doubt be feeling anxious and probably more willing to negotiate a contingency allowing the buyer to sell their home. The objective will be to convince the seller to believe they are better off accepting your contingent offer than waiting for another buyer to come along. It should go without saying that a full price offer should be made with few other contingencies and if you want a long escrow, perhaps sweeten the pot with a little extra purchase price. By having your financing locked in, removing a loan contingency is another strong move that can work in your favor. A seller may accept your contingent offer with a ‘kick-out clause’ that will enable them to keep their home on the market and if a better offer comes in, they can ‘kick’ your contract with an appropriate notice, giving you the opportunity to move forward with your contract. As the buyer, having more flexibility in location may work for

John Occhi & Mike Mason Today’s Temecula and Murrieta buyers looking to buy up or buy down face many challenges in an ever-evolving real estate market. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a larger home for your family with more yards for the kids and dogs to play or are downsizing to a smaller home with less maintenance…the challenges are all the same. Juggling two real estate transactions at once is not an easy task for even the most diligent. Since many of our Temecula and Murrieta neighbors once again have equity in their homes, many are planning on selling their homes to buy another, as the local real estate market continues to appreciate. The local Temecula and Murrieta market conditions can be both a blessing and a curse to the move-up buyer. The thought of limited inventory to select a new home from is not something to look forward to, but when selling your current home you’ll welcome the bidding war that buyers will generate for the right home in the right neighborhood. The trick, of course, is in managing and even juggling simultaneous transactions – a task that can be both frenzied and daunting to even the most experienced homeowner. In the worst case scenario not only can the dream home be lost, but the earnest money deposit that comes with it can be lost as well. While every seller-buyer is different and each has their own personal scenario, they still must answer the all-important universal question, “Can I afford to pay two mortgages at once if I buy before I sell? Or do I prepare to move twice, if I sell before I buy?” SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO? The biggest issue about buying before you sell of course is financing. With the newest provision of the Dodd-Frank Act having taken effect the first of this year, it’s still unclear how the lenders will interpret the federal law aimed at protecting consumers while maintaining the integrity of federally insured mortgages. Now more than ever, it’s critical to speak with your lender and investigate how a ‘Qualified Mortgage’ effects your personal situation. Some move-up buyers will decide to not pay two mortgage payments and just go ahead and move in with friends or family… or perhaps rent an apartment or

you as well. While certain local neighborhoods turn homes quicker than others, there really are no bad Temecula or Murrieta neighborhoods. Allowing for some flexibility in location and even features can prove advantageous – without settling of course. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS The most important thing a move-up buyer can do is be prepared…on every level. As we discussed above, having your financing in place is critical. Make sure that the home you’re selling is in the best possible condition, staged to appeal to the widest audience and priced for a quick sale. The final consideration every move-up buyer needs to focus on is a back-up plan. Always keep in mind the infamous Murphy’s Rule, “If anything can go wrong, it will”. Sometimes ‘Plan B’ turns out to be the best plan, especially if it works out! Call us today and get the information you need to make the right decision. The info is free, call now! (951) 296-8887.

other temporary housing giving them more time to find and buy their new home. THERE IS MORE CONTROL ON THE SELLING SIDE As a seller, you have two tools that can be used to make the process run smoother. First, when you list your home, have your agent report to the MLS that the sale of your home is contingent on you being able to find your new dream home. This will allow escrow to coordinate a dual simultaneous closing. The other option, when an offer comes in on the sale of your home, is that a good realtor can negotiate a seller rent-back agreement. This allows the buyer to close escrow on your home and take title while

allowing you to remain in the home until you can move into your new home. It is fairly common to allow the seller to remain in possession of the property for up to three days after the close of escrow without any financial consideration. More than three days, a rent-back should be negotiated. While the amount of the rent is always negotiable it’s typical to consider the buyers payment and add in a pro-rated share of property taxes, home-owners insurance and HOA dues, if any. A rent-back payment is intended to keep the buyer whole and not create a profit center. The buyer’s lender may allow up to 60 days of rent-back; anything more and the buyer’s lender may consider the loan to be for investment prop-

Fences serve many purposes on a property and can even add visual appeal and value to a home. A fence can effectively delineate property borders, serve as a safety barrier and keep pets and children from wandering into the street. According to Zillow, an online real estate database, erecting a fence on a property in an area where fences are common usually increases the value of the home, putting it in line with similar properties nearby. However, this may only be the case if the fence is installed professionally and matches other fences throughout the neighborhood. Homeowners planning to install a fence should first secure a copy of their property surveys. A survey of the property is often conducted upon purchasing a home and/or when the land and home is being assessed. If you do not have a survey, you can hire a professional to conduct one.

The survey will be handy because it clearly marks property lines. Depending on the local regulations, fences may need to be installed a certain number of inches or feet within the property line. Your municipality and building code office will be able to guide you further as to what is legal. Reputable fencing companies that work in the community should also have a good understanding of fencing regulations. A permit is typically needed to install a fence. Either your contractor or you will need to apply for the permit before construction can begin. It is best to follow the law so that the fence can be installed in a manner that is consistent with local regulations and will not be subject to potentially costly removal. As a courtesy, speak with your neighbors about your fencing plans. The fence will separate your properties from one another, and your neighbors may have certain feel-

ings about what they want to look at. Even if a neighbor is not sharing the cost, it is a good idea to discuss fencing with your neighbors in an effort to reduce the likelihood of conflict down the road. Fences have been points of contention between neighbors, and you don’t want a previously amicable relationship to turn sour. In some instances, neighbors will be excited about the prospect of a fence and may want to share the cost. Fencing contractors may offer discounts for multi-home installations, so it pays to inquire with the neighbors for that reason alone. Homes with pools may need fences as a safety precaution. Be sure they fit the protocol. They may need self-latching/locking gates to prevent entry to the yard. A fence can be a good investment, but homeowners must take the appropriate legal measures and consider their neighbors before erecting any fences.

comes from table lamps and wall sconces. Great lighting makes the home look warm and inviting.

STAGING from page B-1 Use Groupings in Common Living Areas. Buyers envision using living rooms and family rooms for family activities and entertaining. Make the space user-friendly and look larger. Position sofas and chairs into conversational groups; be sure that the placement makes the traffic flow obvious. Floating furniture away from walls into these cozy groupings can add to the feeling of spaciousness. Minimize family portraits; remove knick-knacks. Clean and Brighten Kitchen. This is a key area. De-clutter and maximize usable counter space, but don’t make it spartan. Clean all appliances and counter surfaces so they shine. Turn on lights; open curtains. If upgrades are needed, think counters, cabinets, and under-cabinet lighting. Staining, painting or changing knobs and handles are low-cost improvements. Updating kitchen faucets and lighting can also add appeal.

Make Spaces Look Bigger. Using the same color paint can help make adjacent rooms, like kitchen and dining rooms, appear seamless and larger. Matching drapery color and wall color can also give the illusion of space; the differing tones in the same color can also create a sophisticated look.

Bathrooms should be sparkling clean and look and smell like a model home. Hang plush towels and color coordinate with the space. Fresh flowers add to the appearance and also smell fresh.

Hang Art to Create Interest. Hang art creatively by varying the patterning, height, and grouping. Try to tie in colors from furniture, upholstery, walls and flooring. Use artwork to create or accentuate the mood desired in the specific room.

Clean and Update Bathrooms. These areas need to be sparkling clean and look and smell like a model home. Update fixtures and hang plush towels that colorcoordinate the space. Fresh flowers add to the appearance and also smell fresh.

Accessorize in Odd Numbers. It is not just about de-cluttering, but tastefully accessorizing to create an ambience. The right accessories displayed attractively make a difference. Three is a favorite number of interior designers. Find a unifying element and group the items by scale, color, shape, texture with the largest item at the back and the smallest at the front (from the initial entry point to the room). Placing items in a triangular shape also creates balance.

Make Bedrooms Look Comfortable. Buyers want to see a neutral, spacious and comfortable space to relax in. Remove excess furniture and personal photos. Use luxurious bedding – comforter, accent pillows. Reduce clothing, shoes, etc in closets to make them appear more spacious. Transform Spaces. Repurpose unused spaces into reading spots, study/work areas with a small desk and table lamps; drapes, mirrors, carpet remnants and pillows can create meditation and exercise spaces; a bookcase can make a nook into a small library or display area. Home Lighting. Most homes are improperly lit. Increase the wattage of

Use Neutral Colors in Large Spaces. Large walls in bold colors will only appeal to a small subset of buyers. Use warm beiges and tans as well as soft blues and greens to cover large off-white spaces. Deep dark tones can be used on single-plane accent walls to create a more intimate or dramatic space. Contrasting built-ins, niches or wainscoting will also add interest to a room.

You can do much of this yourself; however, many real estate agents work with interior designers or professional stagers to accomplish this efficiently and effectively. Using professionals to help set the stage to romance the buyer is often worth the expense, especially when it results in shorter selling times and higher selling prices.

How thermostats save money and energy Homeowners who have not yet upgraded to a programmable thermostat could be doing themselves a significant disservice. Not only are programmable thermostats key to saving energy, they also save money. The Alliance for Environmental Sustainability note that for every degree they adjust their thermostats, homeowners save between 1 and 3 percent on their heating and cooling bills. Setting the thermostat slightly warmer in the summer and a notch or two cooler in the winter can save a considerable amount of energy and money. The United States Department of Energy says homeowners who make slight seasonal adjustments to their thermostats can save as much as 10 percent a year on heating and cooling costs. But such adjustments are only truly effective when homeowners commit to them on a daily basis. The best way to stay on top of temperature settings is to purchase

a programmable thermostat, which allow homeowners to predetermine when heat or air conditioning will turn on and off. Many programmable thermostats can store multiple daily settings, allowing homeowners to further customize their heating and cooling schedules based on the time of day as well as the day of the week. According to Energy.gov, a common misconception associated with thermostats is that a furnace or an air conditioning system works harder than normal to get the space back to a comfortable temperature after the thermostat has been set back, and that this hard work means the overall savings are negligible. However, when a home’s interior temperature is similar to the temperature outside, the home will lose energy to the surrounding environment more slowly. The lower the interior temperature, the slower the heat loss in cold weather, and a higher interior temperature will slow the flow of heat into your house in hot weather. Programmable thermostats are available in a variety of models. Some are easier to program than others. Certain thermostats can be linked to a home’s wireless system so that adjustments to the thermostat can even be made when you are not at home. Consult with an HVAC expert to see if a particular thermostat works best with your system. Some homes may benefit from a dual- or multi-zoned system, which allows homeowners to adjust the temperature independently from other floors or wings of a home. The location of the thermostat also is important. The thermostat should be placed where it can get the most accurate reading of the house. It should be on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, doorways, drafts, and windows. It should not be directly facing an air vent. Avoid placing furniture above or below the thermostat, as such furnishings can impede proper air flow. If you feel like your HVAC system is cycling on and off even after programming, you may need to call a technician, who can determine if there are any obstructions to the thermostat or if the unit is the appropriate size for your home.

Health

How to prevent muscle soreness Daily exercise is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. When paired with a nutritious diet, daily exercise can help men and women maintain their personal health and put them in a better position to battle many of the physical quirks that come with aging. But even the most ardent exercise enthusiast is periodically confronted with muscle soreness, which can interrupt an exercise routine and have a very negative impact on an individual’s quality of life. Muscle soreness often appears the morning after a workout and can make something as simple as getting out of bed feel as difficult as climbing Mount Everest. The frequency and severity of muscle soreness depends on a host of factors, including how old someone is, how often a person exercises and how well that person performs certain exercises. While muscle soreness may seem like another unfortunate side effect of the aging process, there are ways to prevent such soreness. Stay hydrated. Many people forget to drink water when working out, and such forgetfulness can lead to muscle soreness. Roughly 50 to 60 percent of a person’s total body mass is water, but the body loses a lot of water during exercise, especially when that exercise is vigorous and causes lots of sweating. Losing a substantial amount of water can be debilitating and lead to muscle soreness, as muscle cells need water to recover fully from a workout. So it’s important that men and women stay hydrated both during a workout and throughout the rest of the day. Carry a bottle of water with you when working out. You will be more inclined to drink water and stay hydrated during a workout if you have water with you as opposed to relying on repeated trips to the water fountain. One way to determine if you’re drinking enough water dur-

fatigue.Work muscle groups that are not experiencing soreness or avoid weight training in favor of cardiovascular exercise and stretching. For many men and women, muscle soreness is an unfortunate side effect of any active lifestyle. But such active men and women can take various preventive measures to reduce their likelihood of developing sore muscles after workouts.

In Fallbrook Since 1997

Colleen Van Horn Strength training can result in muscle soreness if men and women do not take certain preventive measures before, during and after their workouts.

ing a workout is to make note of the color of your urine in the hours following the workout. If your urine is light yellow or clear, then you’re probably drinking enough water to stay hydrated during and after the workout. If your urine is dark yellow or has an orange tint, then you need to make a stronger effort to stay hydrated during and after your workout. Get some sleep. Sleep is another way to prevent or reduce the likelihood of developing muscle soreness. The body needs time to recover from exercise, and sleep is an integral part of that recovery process. Adults typically need between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, so be sure to get enough rest so your muscles can recover before your next workout. Muscle soreness may be your body telling you it was not given enough

time to fully recover from a previous workout.

nutrients to the parts of your body that may feel sore after a workout.

Cool down after a workout. If weight training is part of your workout routine, then it helps to cool down with some easy cardiovascular activity and light stretching after the weight training portion of your regimen is over. This can improve blood flow throughout your body, and improved blood flow can speed your recovery time and reduce post-workout muscle soreness by bringing fresh oxygen and healing

Don’t fight fire with exercise. Some people are tempted to fight muscle soreness by putting their muscles back to work. But such an approach can lead to injury. When muscles are sore, they also experience a loss of strength, which makes them more susceptible to damage and injury. Rather than fighting muscle soreness by challenging the muscles, give them a rest as they recover from soreness and

The Mortgage House keeps lending local

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Home ownership has always been an “American Dream.” Owning a home is a sign of success;

you become part of a community, placing down roots and offering stability to your family and future. A home however is more than a financial asset. It is a place where memories will be made of raising your children, or retiring.

Turing the “dream” into reality involves planning and knowledge in navigating through today’s home buying process. In order to make sure your goals of owning a home are achieved, The Mortgage House in Temecula will work with you on

finding the right loan. Karen Davis has run the Temecula branch of The Mortgage House since 1997 with her husband Scott. Karen has been in the mortgage industry since 1977 working her way up from a receptionist to Vice President Regional Manager. Davis has been able to help people find the right home loan in all types of economic markets. “The best part of what we do is we offer a personal touch. Whether it is face to face, by email, over the phone it does not matter,” Davis said. “We will work around the client’s hours and how they prefer to communicate.” The benefit of working with a company like The Mortgage House is all the paperwork is done in-house, not sent out to another city or state for underwriting or reviews. “We are a direct lender, giving us an aggressive advantage over our competitors,” Davis said. The Mortgage House can work directly with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac including FHA loans. “We also offer tremendous financing on jumbo loans,” Davis said. Staying small and local has been

a strong asset for The Mortgage House, allowing them to maintain integrity and speed in closing loans. They are able to close loans in 30 days or less and have immediate answers on questions that arise. “We maintain hands on control of each and every file every step of the way,” Davis said. When it comes to closing, Davis and her team maintain a hands-on approach with the client. Shortly before closing time, homeowners may have last minute questions on the paperwork they are signing which can become cumbersome. “I like to be there with my clients at closing to reduce some of the last minute stress and answer questions they have on the final numbers,” Davis said. “A new homeowner should have all their questions answered before they sign the final paperwork and have peace of mind.” If you are considering buying a home let The Mortgage House help you navigate through the loan process from determining your goals, being pre-approved, to handing you the keys.

How to avoid distractions when working from home Telecommuting has made great strides over the last decade. U.S. Census Bureau statistics have identified key telecommuting trends, noting that 45 percent of the American workforce holds a job that is compatible with at least part-time work from home. Based on current trends, with no growth acceleration, regular telecommuters will total 4.9 million by 2016, a 69 percent increase from the current level. As more people work from home, more people need to find ways to be productive outside of the office environment. That productivity may hinge on avoiding distractions. Many people telecommute in an attempt to make their lives easier and more affordable. Working from home carries with it a number of benefits, but also quite a few challenges. Some people who work from home find it more difficult

to separate work life from home life, and distractions in the latter can sabotage the former. Recognizing your biggest distractions and remedying them can lead to more productivity and better job performance. Children One of the more popular reasons employees work from home is to be more available for child care. Telecommuting gives working parents a schedule that is flexible enough to meet work deadlines while also being able to pick the kids up from school or to attend school-related functions and extracurricular activities. Telecommuting also allows new mothers to nurse longer or stay home with infants for a longer period of time. However, the same reasons people work from home also can

prove to be the biggest distractions. Imagine being several paragraphs into a report when the baby wakes up from a nap and demands to be fed. Conference calls can be disrupted by a child who needs homework help or a toddler who needs the channel changed on the television. Some trial and error may be required to develop a system in which you can work effectively and be able to pull away to handle child-related issues. Social media Social media connects people to the world around them. Smart-

phones and tablets enable people to check their email, update their status and tweet messages at a moment’s notice. Working from home affords unrestricted access to social media sites and other forms of communication that may not be so readily accessible in a traditional working environment. It can be tempting for you to constantly click over to Instagram or LinkedIn during the day. However, telecommuters should set specific times of the day when they use social media and restrict usage to only these times. This way they can more fully immerse themselves in work. This may involve shutting off instant messaging services or logging off personal email until the workday is through. Friendly interruptions Friends and family members may not understand that telecommuting is the same as working. Phone calls or texts answered at all hours of the day can be distracting. Working from home does not give friends or family unlimited access to you, so discourage unexpected visits or phone calls. Others should

understand that they must respect your work hours, whether those hours are being spent at home or in an office. Dedicated workspace It can be difficult to take telecommuting seriously if your work area is a folding table and a laptop stuck in the corner of the living room. Others in the household may infringe on your workspace, and daily life can produce many distractions. It is best to have an area specifically dedicated to work, and this area should be closed off to others who won’t need you during the day (children should be able to reach you in case of emergency). Your work desk shouldn’t be a place that the children do their homework. Try to set up your desk in an area that doesn’t get much foot traffic or inspire you to daydream. If you are close to a television or facing an open window, you may spend too many hours gazing aimlessly instead of focused on the tasks at hand. Very often you can be your own worst enemy when it comes to distractions. Buckling down and paying attention requires effort. Know your limits Taking breaks from time to time can quell boredom and refresh your level of concentration. Periodically step away from your desk to grab a snack or drink, just like you would at the office. Go outdoors for a few minutes and breathe some fresh air. These tactics can keep your head clear. Resolve problems before logging on Attempt to handle any concerns or tasks related to your personal life before you start your work for the day. Otherwise, you may be focused on tackling one problem when your mind should be on something else. While home and work issues will inevitably cross paths, do not use work hours to pay bills, schedule medical appointments or run house errands. Reducing distractions is a key to telecommuting successfully. As more companies recognize the benefits of allowing employees to work from home, workers should step up to the challenge with dedication and focus.
