Jodi Thomas The Anza Electric Co-op’s (AEC) Annual Membership Meeting experience is prime example of a rural community at its best. The AEC was birthed out of the minds of the community many years ago before being created through the community’s efforts. Then, as well as now, AEC has been run by the will of the community in the form of its board
members and staff; members come together once a year to learn about the good and the bad, the struggles and the joys of Cooperative Energy. This year’s meeting took place at the gym at Hamilton High School. Attending members were greeted by the smiles of the men of the Anza Lions Club, who have traditionally been in charge of parking for the event. Those entering the building
signed in and received a complementary AEC tote bag with goodies inside. The bag provided a place to put all the information available that day. Business members in the Co-op Connection Program sat at booths and provided pamphlets with informative topics of interest to Co-op members. – Early in the morning the Ladies of the Thimble Club – a philanthropic group of women who
have served the community for more than 100 years – prepared and served breakfast to the hungry membership before the meeting. Hamilton High school’s cafeteria was packed with happy people chatting and enjoying coffee, juice, fruit and the “best egg frittata around.” Then the membership was called into the gym for the meeting. The
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has declined to repeal Ordinance 902 that regulates where sex offenders can live or visit. They instead directed county counsel to bring an alternative retaining parts of the ordinance that are still legal under state law to next Tuesday’s meeting. The move comes following the July 2 meeting where, on the recommendation of legal counsel, the board was poised to repeal the entire ordinance following Appeals Court rulings on similar ordinances in nearby areas as unconstitutional. see page A-6

VGC prepares for a week long VBS

VBS they’ve devised for this year is called, “Agency D3; Discover, Decide, Defend.” The VBS event will be a weeklong adventure of discovery for children ages 5 -12; it starts Monday, July 28 and ends on Friday, August 1. It will run from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. every day. While the ladies were gathered,
Debbie Booth – Pastor Blake Booth’s mom – shared that though she was raised in a Christian home, it was her experience and what she learned attending VBS at a young age that changed her heart and led her to make a life changing decision to follow Jesus Christ. She said the decision has prov-
en to be monumental in who she became, who she chose to marry, and who her children are today and the changing impact they are making in the community of Anza today. For all the detail to the upcoming Agency D3; Discover, Decide, Defend VBS fun see the VGC VBS ad in this week’s issue of the AVO.
The Anza Valley Attraction Hi, neighbors. Welcome back. This week we are visiting with Donald Seddon of the Terwilliger area in our valley. Donald has lived in quite a few states including Maine, Massachusetts, and Florida. The reasons why remain for wonder, but “military” and “witness protection program” never came up! However, he did state that Southern California, Anza Valley in particular, is his favorite. Donald and his wife Terry
moved to Anza Valley about eight years ago, learning of it from a local church. They had been living on a reservation in Inland Valley, and quite happily so, when they had to move. In his spare time, Donald had built an elaborate paintball course on the property that adults and kids were able to enjoy. Sounds like something we would enjoy up here in Anza, hey neighbors? Hint, hint. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more! He likes Anza Valley living for the peace, the beautiful scenery, a welcome absence of traffic lights,
and the weather. After living back east and elsewhere, Donald says he likes the quick, but moderate fluctuation in weather here, and especially the seasonal changes without the severity of other regions. When asked, even pressed a bit, (mildly though, this is a friendly column), Donald could not think of a single negative to living in Anza Valley. He’s able to do what he likes, and has made many wonderful friends here. He’s aware there are things others would probably like to see or have happen locally, but for him, he’s a contented man.

Testimony to begin in trial of man accused of killing newlyweds RIVERSIDE – Opening statements are scheduled today in the trial of an ex-Marine accused of joining three comrades in killing a young sergeant and his wife during a home invasion robbery in French Valley. Kesaun Kedron Sykes, 27, could face the death penalty if convicted in the October 2008 slayings of 24-year-old Janek Pietrzak and his 26-year-old wife, Quiana Faye Jenkins-Pietrzak. Sykes is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, along with special circumstance allegations of killing during the course of a robbery, killing during a burglary and taking multiple lives in the same crime, as well as a sentence-
enhancing allegation of committing a sexual assault with a foreign instrument. Testimony is expected to last several weeks, and if Sykes is convicted, a penalty trial will follow. He remains held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta. His three codefendants were all convicted of the murders last year. Kevin Darnell Cox and Tyrone Lloyd Miller, both 27, were sentenced to death, while 25-year-old Emrys Justin John was sentenced to two consecutive life prison terms. The men, along with Sykes, were assigned to the same helicopter maintenance squadron at Camp Pendleton. Miller was under the di-
rect supervision of Janek Pietrzak. According to Deputy District Attorney Dan DeLimon, the four Marines wanted to get inside the Pietrzaks’ two-story house at 31319 Bermuda Ave. to steal their belongings -- but also to engage “in the sexual humiliation’’ of the victims. Miller testified that he was displeased with Pietrzak because the young sergeant had told him only a day or two earlier that there was no way he would be promoted to corporal. The defendants confessed to sheriff’s investigators that they were mainly interested in the “stuff’’ they might be able steal from the victims, who had received numerous gifts at their wedding
that summer. Cox, John and Miller, armed with shotguns, forced their way into the newlyweds’ home in the predawn hours of Oct. 15, 2008, after Cox persuaded Pietrzak to unlock the door so the two could speak. The men rushed Pietrzak, beating him into submission, according to testimony. The couple were bound and gagged and thrown face-down on a sofa. After spending 90 minutes ransacking the house and hauling stolen goods to a vehicle parked outside, Miller and Sykes stripped Quiana and sexually assaulted her, according to the prosecution. John shot the couple executionstyle with a 9mm handgun.

Mother of murder victim recalls last conversation with her daughter RIVERSIDE - The mother of a woman sexually assaulted and killed by members of her husband’s Marine unit testified today that she last spoke with her daughter the night of her death, and everything appeared to be fine before they ended the conversation. “I could hear her cleaning up the kitchen. I heard her set the (burglar) alarm before she went upstairs,” Glenda Jenkins said. According to the witness, who appeared on the verge of tears at one point, she and her daughter discussed plans for Thanksgiving and said their goodbyes around 9:45 p.m. on Oct. 14, 2008. “She texted me later because the puppy had learned to walk down the stairs on its own,” Jenkins said. “I texted her back later, but there was no response. I figured she had gone to bed.” Her testimony came as trial began for Kesaun Kedron Sykes, the last of four defendants to go on trial for the murders of 26-year-old Quiana Faye Jenkins-Pietrzak and her husband, 24-year-old Janek Pietrzak. According to Riverside County sheriff’s investigators, the victims were shot execution-style around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2008, as they lay bound, gagged and blindfolded in the living room of their French Valley home. Last year, three members of Janek
Pietrzak’s helicopter maintenance squadron at Camp Pendleton -Kevin Darnell Cox and Tyrone Lloyd Miller, both 27, along with 25-year-old Emrys Justin John -were convicted of the slayings. Cox and Miller were sentenced to death, while John received two consecutive life prison terms. Their 27-year-old admitted cohort could face the death penalty if convicted of two counts of firstdegree murder, along with special circumstance allegations of killing during the course of a robbery, killing during a burglary and taking multiple lives in the same crime, as well as a sentence- enhancing allegation of committing a sexual assault with a foreign instrument. Sykes’ attorney, Doug Myers, told jurors in his opening statement that his client “neither intended or wanted either victim to be killed.” “They were shot at the last minute,” Myers said. “Mr. Sykes was powerless to do anything about it.” According to Myers, the defendant lived in the same apartment complex as Cox, and the two Marines had became friends through a mutual acquaintance, Melissa Buck, Cox’s girlfriend. Myers acknowledged that his client had been out on a previous “job” with the defendants -- an Oceanside home invasion robbery -and had assumed that when he went

with them to the Pietrzak property at 31319 Bermuda Ave., it would be more of the same. “He did not know that killing was on anyone’s mind,” the attorney said. “Tyrone Miller and Emrys John had some kind of personal agenda that my client had no part in.” Deputy District Attorney Dan DeLimon countered that Sykes was an active and willing participant in the murders, which he characterized as an “execution.” “Quiana was shot twice -- once in the head and once in the back of the neck,” DeLimon said, noting that she was killed after her husband and had to know what was about to occur. According to the prosecutor, the defendants wanted to get inside
the Pietrzaks’ two-story house to steal their belongings -- but also to engage “in the sexual humiliation” of the victims. Miller testified last year that he was displeased with Pietrzak because the young sergeant had told him only a day or two earlier that there was no way he would be promoted to corporal. The defendants confessed that they were mainly interested in the “stuff” they might be able steal from the victims, who had received numerous gifts at their wedding that August. Glenda Jenkins testified the valuables in the house and her daughter’s overall safety prompted her to obtain the security system for the newlyweds.
Cox, John, Miller and Sykes, armed with shotguns, forced their way into the victims’ home after Cox rang the doorbell and persuaded Pietrzak to unlock the front door so the two could speak. The men rushed Pietrzak, beating him into submission, according to testimony. The couple were bound and gagged and thrown face-down on a sofa. After spending 90 minutes ransacking the house and hauling stolen goods to a vehicle parked outside, Miller and Sykes stripped Quiana and sexually assaulted her, DeLimon alleged. John shot the couple executionstyle with a 9mm handgun. Sykes is being held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.
Wildomar: 58-year-old man pinned between two vehicles in traffic accident Alex Groves Editor WILDOMAR – A 58-year-old Wildomar man sustained major injuries on Saturday, June 19 and had to be transported to a local area hospital after being pinned between two vehicles in a traffic accident that happened in the area of Palomar Road and Mission Trail in Wildomar, a sheriff’s official reported. A report from Riverside County
Sheriff ’s Department said the 24-year-old male driver of a Toyota Tacoma was traveling westbound on Palomar Road shortly after 8 a.m. when he swerved across the roadway for unknown reasons. The 24-year-old driver struck a Ford F250 pick-up that was parked on the south side of the road when he swerved, according to Sgt. Nathan Kaas The victim was standing behind the Ford F250 when it was struck by the Tacoma and the brunt of the
impact caused the car to be pushed back into the car behind it, pinning the man, Kaas said. Officers arrived to the location shortly thereafter and Cal Fire and American Medical Response (AMR) gave the victim medical aid. The man was listed in critical but stable condition the day following the accident, according to Kaas. Alcohol or drugs did not appear to be a factor in the crash, Kaas said.
Lake Elsinore crash seriously injures one LAKE ELSINORE - One person suffered major injuries and a second was less seriously injured when a car went 50 feet over the side of Ortega Highway in Lake Elsinore, authorities said. One victim had to be freed from the wreckage of the crash, which
was reported at 5:06 p.m. in the 35000 block of Ortega Highway, Jennifer Fuhrman of the Riverside County Fire Department said. Both victims were taken to a hospital for treatment, according to Fuhrman, who said the lessseriously injured patient suffered
moderate injuries. Tw e n t y - t w o f i r e f i g h t e r s responded to the scene and assistance was provided by American Medical Response and personnel from Cleveland National Forest, she said.
Sentencing postponed for woman who put child to work as prostitute RIVERSIDE - With the judge who took her plea unavailable, sentencing was postponed today for a Moreno Valley woman who put a 14-year-old girl to work as a prostitute. Kayla Corithian Jackson, 19, pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy and false imprisonment. She had been charged with five sex trafficking-related felonies, but those counts were dropped under a plea agreement negotiated between the defense and the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office. Superior Court Judge Helios Hernandez took the plea and was slated to certify the agreement today but had an unanticipated scheduling conflict and was not on the bench. Retired Judge Jean Leonard was sitting in for him and postponed Jackson’s sentencing to Aug. 29. The defendant is facing a maxi-
mum 12 years behind bars, according to Supervising Deputy District Attorney Gerald Fineman. She remains free on $85,000 bail. Prosecutors allege that, at Jackson’s direction, the victim provided sexual services for men who responded to ads posted on social networking websites. According to the District Attorney’s Office, the girl, whose identity was not released, left her Moreno Valley home in late February 2013 without telling her mother where she was going or with whom. When the youth failed to return, her mother suspected she might be with Jackson because the teenager had begun consorting with the defendant on a regular basis, Fineman told City News Service. He said the victim’s mother reported her daughter missing
on March 1, 2013, leading to an investigation by the county’s AntiHuman Trafficking Task Force. Investigators checked websites where ads for escorts appear and came upon a mobile phone number belonging to the girl, according to the sheriff’s department. Deputies working undercover made several calls and were able to determine that the teen was staying at a motel near the intersection of Alessandro Boulevard and Graham Street. Jackson was arrested at the location. The girl, who had been there about a day, was found unharmed, Fineman said. According to investigators, Jackson’s phone records indicated she had been engaged in illicit sexual activity prior to her arrest. Court records show a prior misdemeanor conviction for shoplifting.
big rig and his legs became pinned under the trailer, California Highway Patrol sergeant said today. The crash was reported at 8 p.m. Saturday on the southbound San Diego (5) Freeway north of Cassidy Street, said Sgt. M. Kelley. The crash occurred when the motorcyclist was southbound on the San Diego Freeway, “splitting traffic’’ between the two left lanes at 60 to 75 mph while traffic was congested and moving at 30 to 50 mph, Kelley said.

The motorcyclist then traveled to the right and went underneath the rear of the 2009 Kenworth tractortrailer’s trailer, Kelley said. When the truck driver “felt his vehicle shaking he stopped and looked into his left side mirror’’ and saw the motorcyclist’s ‘“helmet sticking out from the left rear axle area of his trailer,’’ the sergeant said.

Firefighters used special equipment to free the motorcyclist from the trailer and he was airlifted to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Kelley said. “Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in this collision,’’ the sergeant said. The 25-year-old Toyota driver and the 44-year-old big rig driver were both from San Diego, Kelley said.

Former Temecula resident Kahle wins Firefighters Destruction Derby Menifee’s Ballester also drives Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent Ehren Kahle, who lived in Temecula from 2001 to 2012, won this year’s Firefighters Destruction Derby which took place June 7 as part of the San Diego County Fair. The drivers also included Menifee resident and Great Oak High School graduate Mike Ballester, who is with the Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department. “It feels great. When you can raise money to send kids to camp, burn-injured children, and have a blast doing it, there’s nothing more rewarding than that,” Kahle said. “It was absolutely awesome,” Ballester said. “It was a great fundraiser for the Burn Institute as well as a great morale booster for our department as a whole.” In 1995 the Cajon Speedway, the Burn Institute, and local fire departments collaborated for an annual night which included fundraising and promotions for the Burn Institute, a pre-race parade of fire trucks, an American flag raised from a fire engine ladder for the Star-Spangled Banner, and a Firefighters Destruction Derby. The Burn Institute and local firefighters also collaborated for an annual exposition and burn run at Qualcomm Stadium. Kahle began his demolition derby career in 2002 at Cajon Speedway. “We could really get some running starts,” he said. Cajon Speedway closed after the 2004 season, but in 2010 the exposition was moved to the San Diego County Fair and Burn Institute director James Floros contacted Bob Pfohl, who was Santee’s fire chief when he won the 2000 destruction derby, about the possibility of a firefighters demolition derby at the fair. Pfohl, who became a division chief for the Viejas Fire Department after retiring from the City of Santee in 2006 and accepted a division chief position with the Barona Fire Department in the past year, agreed to organize the event. Some changes due to the configuration of the Del Mar Arena were necessary. The parade of fire trucks takes place earlier in the day, the flag is not raised from a ladder inside the covered arena, and the cars are divided into heats. The current format involves two early afternoon heats with the last three running cars in each heat advancing to the finals, and a pair of last chance heats in the late afternoon allow the last remaining car in each of those two heats entry into the final crunchfest which follows the cleanup activity from the second last chance heat. Kahle noted that having the burn exposition as part of the county fair has resulted in the attendance of more children, who are a major target of fire prevention outreach measures. “It seems like out here we can get more of a family crowd,” he said. Kahle drove in the 2011 Firefighters Destruction Derby but alternates with Imperial Beach firefighter Cory Cooper. Thirty-three volunteers from the Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department joined the labor in helping to convert the 1989 Chevy Caprice into a demolition derby car. Ballester noted that both the work on the car and the fundraising activities brought the firefighters together. The Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department raised approximately $4,500 for the Burn Institute. Ballester was selected to be the driver. “I put the most hours into
Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars.

In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal. Hiring an agent should be like any hiring process, interview multiple agents to make sure you hire the right one!

it,” he said. Ballester acknowledged that Rainbow captain Matt Austin also provided substantial work on the car. “I was a little more nimble,” Ballester said. Ballester has been with the Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department for four years. During his childhood he moved from the Rancho Bernardo area of San Diego to Temecula, and he is a 2008 graduate of Great Oak High School. The 2014 Firefighters Destruction Derby had 17 cars with nine including Ballester in the first heat and eight including Kahle in the second heat. Ballester’s first hit was on Oceanside Fire Department driver Cody Spinos while Robert Marcon of the Bonita-Sunnyside Fire Protection District was the first driver to hit Ballester. When Ballester backed the trunk of his Caprice into the front of Lemon Grove firefighter Joe Lavigne’s car, the Caprice’s trunk became disfigured. When Spinos’ car stopped moving, the checkered flag was thrown and Ballester, Marcon, and Brandon Massey of the Viejas Fire Department advanced to the finals. “We made it to the final round,” Ballester said. “That’s an experience.” Kahle also advanced from his heat along with Lakeside firefighter Danny Leetch and Barona driver Jake Murrell. The finals also included last chance heat survivors Lavigne and Mike Shoemaker of National City. Ballester drove into the arena for the finals, but his car did not move after the green flag was thrown. “At the end we dropped a drive shaft,” Ballester said. “The drive shaft snapped and dropped down.” The immediate exit from the final didn’t dampen Ballester’s enthusiasm for the demolition derby. “It was a great time. Really learned a lot for next year,” he said. Kahle’s final hit on Massey turned out to be the end of the event which was followed by Kahle receiving the Steve Brucker Memorial Trophy named after the Cajon Speedway promoter who helped initiate the Firefighters Destruction Derby. “It’s a great win for him. He worked really hard on getting it together,” said Imperial Beach fire chief Tom Clark. The win was the first ever for a driver from the Imperial Beach Fire Department, which has one station and nine firefighters. “It’s incredible. Small group of guys did a good job,” Clark said. The Imperial Beach firefighters also raised approximately $3,600 for the Burn Institute. Kahle’s win was the second in a row for a Crown Victoria; Marcon was the 2013 winner. (Lavigne won the 2012 derby in a 1976 Lincoln). “Even after all that beating out there this thing still runs,” Kahle said.
Riverside County sheriff’s helicopter rescues injured paraglider SAN JACINTO - A Riverside County sheriff’s helicopter rescued an injured paraglider from where the patient fell in a remote area north of San Jacinto, an official said. The fall was reported at about 7:53 p.m. Saturday, June 19 in the 260 block of Soboba Road, said Jennifer Fuhrman of the Riverside County Fire Department. “One patient was hoisted from
10 Things You Need to Know Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent
scene to the Soboba Flight Park by a Riverside County Sheriff’s Helicopter,” Fuhrman said. “One patient was then transported with minor injuries to a local area hospital via ground ambulance.’’ The rescue was achieved at about 10:40 p.m. The helicopter rescue was required “due to the difficult terrain and patient being inaccessible by off road vehicle,’’ she said.
The Imperial Beach firefighters spent approximately six months working on the car. “I’ve been trying to find a car just to be able to participate in the event since November,” Kahle said. The Police Interceptor was obtained from the U.S. Marshal fleet; the Federal law enforcement agency retires its vehicles after 97,000 miles. “We will try to get a car similar to this so that we can re-use all of our parts,” Kahle said. Kahle’s status as defending champion may have an impact on alternating with Cooper. “We may wind up driving two cars,” Kahle said. Kahle graduated from San Diego County’s Ramona High School in 1994 and then participated in the emergency medical services program at Palomar College. He lived in Fallbrook from 1999 to 2001 and was with the Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department during those years before taking a paid position for American Medical Response. During his Rainbow firefighting and emergency medical service tenure Kahle worked with Austin, who has been with been with the Rainbow Volunteer Fire Department for 13 years. Kahle moved from Fallbrook to Temecula in 2001. In 2002 he was hired by the Imperial Beach Fire Department as an engineer and paramedic. Kahle’s first day on the job with the Imperial Beach firefighters was February 10, 2002, and within six hours of his first day of work he was back in Fallbrook as a member of a strike team fighting the Gavilan Fire. He was also on a strike team later that year to fight the Pines Fire in Julian. During the October 2003 fires he was given station duties in eastern Chula Vista, and he was assigned to cover the Imperial Beach station while his co-workers were on strike teams for the October 2007 fires. Kahle spent a week in Northern California in 2008 to fight wildfires outside of Yosemite and in the Ukiah area. Kahle continued to reside in Temecula until December 2012, when he moved back to Ramona on a property which has a cabernet sauvignon vineyard. His parents own Woof’n Rose Winery, and Kahle supplies grapes to supplement his parents’ vineyard. Kahle also obtained sponsorship of two other Ramona wineries for the Firefighters Destruction Derby. Ehren and Stephanie Kahle have two children: a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl.

Keynote speaker State Assemblyman Brain Jones, center, addresses the AEC Membership.
AEC from page A-1 chairs and stage were set up early that morning by AEC’s volunteer group and AEC staff before the meeting was called to order by the Board President Bill Adams, who announced that a quorum had been reached. It takes at least 50 members to be present to have a quorum and there were 147 registered members present. Adams mentioned that over the past several years, he’s been proud to announce that membership participation in the Co-op has increased. Also present on stage were all the board members. These individuals were Harold Burdick, Paul Elmore, Ryall Steward, Michael Machado, Joel Carlisle, and Belinda Hepler. General Manager Kevin Short, Auditor Jarrod Bryant, and Legal Counsel Robert Hargreaves were in attendance, too. In the audience sat Keynote Speaker State Assemblyman Brain Jones and his assistant Danica Mazenko. Visiting Cooperative associates were also on hand to speak. Patrick Ledger, EVP amd CEO of Arizona’s G&T Cooperative; John Wallace, Grand Canyon State Electric Cooperative Assn; and Jessica Nelson, General Manager of Golden State Power Cooperative. The local VFW members, Commander Mike Mrsnys, Vice Commander Robert Cobb and Judge Advocate Lenton Garrison presented the colors (flags). The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the National Anthem was sung. Then Paul Elmore gave up a prayer over the proceedings and the meeting was then officially started. Outside auditor Jarrod Bryant said that we should be proud of our Co-op staff because they are the best, with no errors in their books. He said they should also be applauded for returning nearly $9 million in Capital Credits over the years. Keynote speaker State Assemblyman Brian Jones spoke about how California “could be the Golden State again,” highlighting that the state still has all the same attributes that made it once great. Pointing to Texas’ Governor Rick Perry’s visit to San Diego – where he was successful in convincing local business’ to move to Texas by promising less government regulations and interference with companies – Jones said there was a lesson for California’s Governor Jerry Brown to learn. Jones said that it has been the increase in government regulations that has snuffed out the state’s prosperity and that, that can be fixed. “Community like this is what
makes this state great,” he said. He also said he wished he could put our fiscally responsible Co-op Board and staff in Sacramento for six months to straighten out the budget and get California back on track. Next up were speeches from the visiting Cooperative associates. Patrick Ledger, the EVP and CEO, of Arizona’s G&T Cooperative (AGTC) said the EPA came and demanded unrealistic and un-proportional changes in the current requirements for our generating plant. These changes would cause the plants current equipment to be tossed out and exchanged for their idea of needed equipment at an exhortative cost to co-op members. The equipment to be tossed had just been updated to meet state and EPA standards just a few years ago. It works well to decrease unfavorable emissions, if tossed Co-ops will still be in debt for that equipment to the tune of millions. Ledger then explained for now they have come up with an alternative idea that would comply with new EPA standards of emissions and would also be less expensive than the current EPA’s ideal slated replacement equipment; it looks like the idea may be accepted. Ledger pointed out that there are large cities in some states that have coal burning plants that are not require to do anything more to reduce emissions. He went on to explain that the EPA seems to have singled out the cooperative coal plants who supply energy to rural areas and are not for profit. These are co-ops whose membership is mostly economically challenged and who are on fixed incomes. Organizations like the EPA like to target the most vulnerable co-ops such as these while more economically sound areas go untouched, according to Ledger. This seems proportionately unfair to Ledger; it just seems wrong, he said. Ledger wanted members to know that AGTC is always interested in taking care of the environment but feels to obtain those goals the cooperative should be allowed to do that in a fiscally responsible way, in doing so they can take care of the environment and their members too. To read the the second part of Anza - a Rural Community at its best, pick up the next issue of the AVO.
Patrick Ledger of Arizona’s G&T Cooperatives share on the proposed changes to the energy plant in Arizona to meet new EPA regulations.

When a child appears without an escort adults notice and everyone teams up to return him to his place. Why did not the governments of these countries stop, detain, and return these children long before they got to this country? There has to exist organized collusion on the part of these governments—they do not just allow anyone to cross their borders. The nightly news now speaks of children who died making the 1500-mile excursion or failed in their effort to cross the Rio Grande River. Our hearts are heavy. This is mega child abuse, as is gang child rape along the way, and American perpetrators should be flushed out, convicted, and serve prison time. Those who surrender to border patrol agents speak of the belief spread in their countries that America welcomes children. Congress must have hearings on this most unlikely child invasion of the United States. Americans who may have intentionally perpetrated this falsehood, with the intent to weaken border security, should also be identified and prosecuted. Then too, those holding high office found to have intentionally encouraged this myth by not enforcing existing law must be turned out of office even if it is a president of the United States.

Letters to the Editor
Greenhouse Gasses and Global Warming Dear Editor, We hear a lot about greenhouse gasses and global warming but seldom hear about the personal side of the problem. Every person is a problem when it comes to greenhouse gasses. When a person exhales they give off carbon dioxide gas. This gas has the same chemical formula as the carbon dioxide gas given off by coal fired generating plants. When a person passes gas, that gas is mainly methane. Methane is another greenhouse gas and it is considered by many to have worse effects than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Thus, every person is a contributor to the greenhouse gas problem. Since Washington and Sacramento seem to be tax happy over greenhouse gasses the people there might consider a personal greenhouse gas tax. This might be a problem as the amount of carbon dioxide released
by a person depends on the amount of physical energy being exerted. Somebody running, jogging, riding a bicycle, or playing sports will be giving off much more carbon dioxide than a person sitting and watching television. The amount of passed gas will be dependent on the type of food consumed and the physical makeup of the person consuming that food. Since it would not be fair to charge everyone a flat fee, it will be difficult to devise a way to monitor each person’s emissions. Maybe an annual gas check would work. If the diehard environmentalists really want to go green they might consider not exhaling or eating foods that are gassy. Respectfully submitted, Harry M. Quinn Mountain Center
US Forces - Past and Future Problems Dear Editor, While watching the news I began thinking about past and future problems, the result is this letter. The United States entered South Vietnam with advisors to train the South Vietnam Military. They then had to send in our own military to stem the invasion from the north. During all that time the US was training South Vietnam forces. When the US pulled out its forces the country was overrun by the Viet Cong/NVA forces before the last US forces could get out. After committing ground troops to the invasion of Iraq the US helped train the Iraq forces. We now see the Iraq forces falling faster than dominoes as the ISIS forces advance. We now have to reintroduce some US forces to try and stop them. Is it a case of too little too late? I think more People have died yearly in Iraq since the overthrow of a brutal dictator than died when he was in power. The original invasion suffered from not enough troops as our troops advanced rapidly through the country side and left large Iraq
military weapons caches unguarded behind them. These unguarded weapons caches became the source of materials for the insurgents to prosper. Had we had enough troops to do the job right these weapons caches would not have been available to them and many lives would have been saved, including US soldiers. Now the government wants to reduce the size of the military we presently have. US forces are now training the Afghan military and I think more US forces have been killed by the people they are supposed to be training than in either Vietnam or Iraq. What do you think is going to happen when US troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan? The US has not fought a war to win since WWII and in fact according to congress has not fought a war since WWII. All the military actions since WWII have apparently been policy responses and not actual wars. Respectfully submitted, Harry M. Quinn Mountain Center

Back to the drawing board, Supervisors decline to repeal ordinance Kim Harris Special to the Anza Valley Outlook The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has declined to repeal Ordinance 902 that regulates where sex offenders can live or visit. They instead directed county counsel to bring an alternative retaining parts of the ordinance that are still legal under state law to next Tuesday’s meeting. The move comes following the July 2 meeting where, on the recommendation of legal counsel, the board was poised to repeal the entire ordinance following Appeals Court rulings on similar ordinances in nearby areas
as unconstitutional. Supervisor Jeff Stone said that last week he did not support repealing the ordinance because he felt there were many parts of the ordinance that could be upheld. “That’s why we are here today, to only repeal those portions that the law says are completely illegal,” he said. “The other provisions are being challenged now at the California Supreme Court. But it is my position and I hope your position that we want to keep the laws as strict as we can until we are told otherwise by the California Supreme Court to protect ourselves from the predators.”
Stone registered a “No” vote during the previous meeting, making a political statement regarding the issue. Upon further review, under the direction of Stone, the board decided to leave the residency restrictions in place while removing the loitering components that are now considered to be unconstitutional. “I voted against that because I felt there were provisions in our existing ordinance that needed to remain,” Stone said. “Those were basically the residency restrictions which I believe are the most important component of the ordinance. The loitering restrictions
are deleted in response to the two lawsuits that have been successful in the cities of Irvine and Orange and so we have been threatened by the same proponents that if we do not comply with state law … then we will be sued and by all accounts we will lose.” Stone proposed an alternate motion asking county counsel to bring a reintroduction of Ordinance 902.2 repealing only the loitering provisions that have been successfully challenged in other court venues and retaining the residency restrictions to the July 22 meeting. The motion, seconded by Supervisor Kevin Jefferies passed and
will be reconsidered reflecting proposed changes at the next meeting. $2,500 award for Food for the Faithful to provide food to 150-200 Anza Valley families, $2,500 to the Anza Valley Christian Men’s Club for distribution of the monthly USDA Food Distribution Project, $2,500 to Manzanita Ranch to bring a five day display of the Vietnam Memorial “The Moving Wall” to Temecula in October, $8,500 to Anza Community Hall to build the second Welcome to Anza monument and $1,500 to Anza Baptist Church for the ABC Community Food Pantry.
Dr. Ruiz Votes in Support of Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment Bill WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Dr. Raul Ruiz (D-Palm Desert) voted to pass the bipartisan Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014. This bill would stabilize the Highway Trust Fund and support needed improvements to the transportation infrastructure system in the United States. “This bill will allow continued, fiscally responsible investment in critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, and other transit construction projects needed here in the Coachella Valley and across the country,” said Dr. Ruiz. “Maintaining our nation’s infrastructure spurs economic activity, creates jobs here at home, and helps American businesses stay competitive in the global marketplace. However, this bill is not a permanent fix to our nation’s infrastructure needs. I will
continue working with my colleagues toward a pragmatic, long term solution to ensure appropriate investment in essential infrastructure across the country.” H.R. 5021, Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 passed the House with a bipartisan vote. The Senate is expected to consider it in the coming weeks.
Dr. Ruiz said the bill will allowinvestment in critical infrastructure like roads, bridges, and other transit construction projects.

SEDDON from page A-1 month, they serve it up fresh and hot at the Anza Community Hall in town from 1-3 p.m. Free food, clothing and toys are offered to anyone and everyone. Much of this is made possible by private donors, local businesses, the Salvation Army of Perris, and the Living Hope Church. Donald says his focus is on serving others above all else. Much more is served than food though. On those home deliveries I see him taking the time to listen and be present for those on his route wanting someone to talk to. People who don’t get out much. People wanting him to know who else could use F.U.N.’s help. People with a smile, maybe a joke, an update on a neighbor. Transcending any struggles for the moment. All of that may slow Donald on his route, but he recognizes the nutritional and the emotional needs as they’re presented.

spe o G y Valle pel Cha Pastors Blake and Stephanie Booth and the Church Family at Valley Gospel want to meet you. Come visit us at
Though this week’s column features Donald, he tries to avoid the spotlight. He’s quick to remind anyone of all those involved in F.U.N., and those donating, that make it happen every week. Reminds me of a quote by the late Fred Rogers, a television neighbor: “I hope you’re proud of yourself for the times you’ve said “yes”, when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful to someone else.” Good on you F.U.N. Group! He also thanks his wife Terry, (she of the blue bangs and tropical ocean eyes), for her love and support. He says it took him years to earn it, and he’s thankful every day. Donald and I agree, Terry is a focused ray of sunshine to be around. Once again, in regard to those wondering “why Anza Valley? What’s the attraction?”, Donald would say: scenic beauty, natural sounds, low traffic, great weather, and neighbors who care. Take care neighbors!

“Don is a powerful leader.” He’s strong, knowledgeable and has an unsurpassed compassion that give all those around him the faith they can succeed. Don holds the candle and lights the way, making it possible for big goals to be exceeded. That’s true for everyone who’s lucky enough to be coached by him and especially clients smart enough to hire him. I recommend Don Thoren hands down as one of the best and inspiring leaders I have ever worked with and I’d do it again in a New York minute. – Maggie Hunts, Author, Entertainer
“I never learned how to deal with my pain in a healthy way.” The seminar led me through a journey to better understanding myself and my past. Through Kathleen’s warmth, loving nature, and teachings, I have learned concepts and strategies to deal with my pain in a healthy way, rather than “stuffing it” or avoiding it. In just a few short weeks, I have already began to notice a positive change within myself and my relationships with my family and friends. In addition, I listen to myself more now, and don’t sacrifice my values just to appease someone else. I feel more grounded and empowered. – Tara Musselman, Professional Counselor, Educator
“A cornerstone of the National Speakers Association is the willingness of every member to reach out and help others.” No person embodies this philosophy better than Don Thoren, Past National President. An accomplished speaker, trainer and facilitator, he has also been a wonderful mentor and example of the spirit of NSA for me. Getting to know and observing Don Thoren in action has made me a better speaker, leader and person. – John Hersey, CSP Author of Creating Contagious Leadership
“I was in a “dark hole” I thought I’d never escape from.” Before going through the Engage You Seminar, I had little joy, happiness or peace in my life. In fact, I was in a “dark hole” after losing my business, my health, my friends and my whole identity. After working with Kathleen, that’s all changed. She gave me back my life and I’m truly a changed person. She: • Taught me how to let go of my past negative experiences. • Gave me the tools to deal with difficult relationships and situations. • Helped me learn to love myself. I never thought I’d come out of that “dark hole”, yet with Kathleen’s help, I was able to move 14 time world cycling forward and flourish. She truly rebuilds people! champion to a hospital bed
after being hit by a ½ ton truck while out training on her bike.

“The hardest - and most rewarding workshop I’ve ever attended.” I wasn’t prepared for the kind of impact this seminar would have on me. Without a doubt, it was the hardest AND most rewarding program I’ve ever attended. I now have numerous tools to use to keep me on a positive and fulfilling path in my life. Thank you Kathleen! I am forever grateful for what you have done to help me become the man that God intended me to be! – Tim Owens, Managing Director New Generation Communities, LLC

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY Finding the right loan for your home Paul Bandong Staff Writer Finding the right house is the fun part of the home-buying process; finding and securing the right loan is probably the most stressful part of the process. Ideally, you – the prospective buyer – should get pre-qualified so you will know how much home you can afford. Loan officers at mortgage companies will calculate the loan amount the buyer will qualify for based on income, employment, and monthly debts and expenses. Compare mortgage companies,
loan programs, rates and closing costs to determine which company will offer the best home loan for your situation.Pre-approval will require a credit check, and qualifying for a specific loan program with a quoted interest rate. Securing a written pre-approval lets your real estate agent and the seller know that you are a serious and ready buyer. So what loan options are available? Fixed Rate, Adjustable Rate, or Hybrid: all loans fit into one of these categories. A fixed-rate mortgage loan will have the same interest-rate for the life of the loan,
Securing a written pre-approval lets your real estate agent and the seller know that you are a serious and ready buyer.
and consequently payments will remain the same each month for the term of the loan. The loan may be amortized over ten, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 40 years. Thirty-year loans are the most common. The stability and certainty of the payment appeal to some buyers. Adjustable-rate loans (ARMs) typically feature a lower entry rate that adjusts periodically according to a certain financial index and margin. Rates and monthly payments can rise over time. Hybrid loans – loans with a fixed lower interest rate for a certain period of time before switching over to
an adjustable rate – have become a popular option. Typical hybrid ARM loans feature fixed rates for a period of 10, 7, 5, or three years. For example, a 5/1 ARM loan will have a fixed rate for the first five years; it will adjust annually thereafter. Lower interest rates and lower initial payments appeal to many buyers, especially those who may not stay in the property beyond the fixed interest period and those who anticipate growth in income. Conventional or GovernmentInsured Loans: for certain approved lenders, the government will insure loans to reduce the risk
of loss if a borrower should default on their mortgage payments. Conventional or “regular” loans are not insured by the government. There are three government-backed mortgage types: FHA, VA, and USDA. HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) administers the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan program, available to first-time and other buyers who cannot afford a traditional twenty percent down payment. The program – intended to stimulate the housing market by making loans accessible and

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Ornamental grasses
Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello, fellow gardeners! This week I’d like to discuss another of my favorite groups of plants. They’re right up there with succulents, and 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. The grass adds an entire dimension to the garden. This is not only due to its movement in the breeze, but also its color and texture.
Ornamental grass come in sizes from less than 8” high; one of those smaller varieties is the Festuca glauca, also known as “Blue Fescue.” One of the best is “Elijah Blue,” and it’s available at most nurseries. Another great ornamental grass is the Arundo donax – “Giant Reed” which can get up to 14’ high – I would not recommended this unless you have lots of space. Pampas grass I never recommend to my clients, even though its everywhere. This is because it’s an invasive non-native species. Some of my personal favorites in the landscape are Calamagrotis acutiflora, or “Karl Foerster”; Helictotrichon sempervirens, or “Blue Oat Grass”; Miscanthus sinensis, or “Dwarf Maiden Grass”; and Panicum virgatum, or “Blue Switch Grass.” “Karl Foerster” is a feather reed grass; it grows upright and narrow, is drought tolerant and great in tight spaces. “Blue Oat Grass” is a great pick for this area because it has a

affordable – allows buyers to purchase with down payments as low as 3.5 percent of the purchase price. Buyers will have to pay mortgage insurance premiums (MIP) for the insurance, thereby increasing their monthly payment. FHA loans may not be used for second homes or investment properties. Military service members and their families can qualify for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loan program that is also guaranteed by the federal government. Buyers can receive up to 100 percent financing for the purchase of the home, i.e., they can purchase a home with no money down. The VA does not lend the money; they back the loans made by the banks, mortgage companies and savings and loans companies. The United States Department
Wildomar
of Agriculture (USDA) also offers a loan program for rural buyers with “a steady, low or modest income” who are unable to secure housing through conventional financing. The program is managed by the Rural Housing Service and utilizes a county-by-county adjusted Area Median Income (AMI) to determine eligibility. Loans can be used for the purchase, repair or renovation of a home in a rural area. Conforming or Jumbo Loans: refers to the size of the loan and the underwriting guidelines established by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The two governmentsponsored enterprises purchase loans from lenders and sell them to investors (via mortgage-backed securities on Wall Street). A “conforming” loan is one that falls

within their specified maximum size limits. A jumbo loan exceeds those established loan limits, theoretically representing a higher risk for the lender. Borrowers must have larger down payments and excellent credit; interest rates are generally higher. Since the Economic Stimulus Act was passed in 2008, the FHA loan limit in Riverside County had been $500,000. As of January 1, 2014, the maximum loan limit was reduced $144,650 to $355,350. The 28.9 percent decrease is the highest in southern California. This decrease will affect a number of buyers in the $360,000 to $500,000 range who will no longer qualify for FHA financing. Also worthy of note, are HomePath Mortgage Products that are specialty programs available only on Fannie Mae-owned homes. These properties are exclusively foreclosed homes and homes taken back as deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or forfeiture. The Home Path financing programs are designed to help sell these homes and have several additional benefits: 5 percent down on owner-occupied properties, no PMI, no lender-required appraisal, and flexible mortgage types. Investors can also take title as an LLC and can possibly finance up to twenty properties. Finding the perfect home requires a lot of looking; so does finding the money – the right loan -- to purchase that home.

How to interview and select a realtor agents you should interview – it could be the first you speak with, or the third, or the tenth. Your agent may be your nephew or your next door neighbor. Again, there is no rule and you have no obligation to anyone to allow them access to your most personal financial information and entrust them with your largest asset just because your kids play softball together. Dig deep and be hard on your prospects until you are satisfied beyond any reasonable doubt that this agent is right for you.

When did you receive your Real Estate License? What designations do you have? What level of formal education do you have? A real estate license must be renewed, in California, every four years after completing 45 hours of continuing education. Anyone who has renewed their license at least once shows a certain amount of commitment to the industry. Agents who have taken additional classes above and beyond what the law specifies and who have earned designations in relevant specialties show commitment to their careers. The same can be said about formal education. Is your prospective real estate agent a high school dropout or do they have a relevant degree? Dedication to education usually is an indicator of competence. Why are you the best choice to be my realtor? This is where the prospective realtor should have an answer ready to roll on a moment’s notice.
Please explain my closing costs. What will they be? Closing costs can vary from transaction to transaction but there are some consistencies. Some are based on a percentage of the transaction, the percentage of the loan, or a flat fee. This is the phase to look for hidden or garbage fees that can be negotiated away. What is your website? Blog? Do you operate any other websites? Take the time to look at your prospective real estate agents website and blog. Read what they have to say and see if you agree with their opinions, regarding real estate. Do they let too much of their personal belief system merge into their professional business? You sure don’t want an agent driving away a prospective buyer because of some radical viewpoint that others do not agree with – whether you do or not. You’ll also have a first-hand chance to examine their marketing machine. Does the agent have any lead capture or squeeze pages? Are there any anonymous websites? There is much to be learned about anyone these days, especially someone who is actively marketing on the internet. Do your duediligence. What else do I need to know about you, your company, the market, and real estate in general? This is the chance the prospective agent can fill in the blanks. You want to avoid any surprises down the road. As the agent answers questions, look for the next question. What is the agent not saying? Don’t be afraid to dig deeper. Ask these questions and more. There is no rule on how many

actually know about the whole process? Does their scope of services include marketing and advertising? How do they negotiate sale price and other contract points such as inspections, title issues and closing procedures. What price would you like to list my home at? How long do you expect it to take to sell? Why? It’s important for your agent to understand the market and know what’s for sale and what it’s selling for. If your prospective agent refers to a “Zestimate” or other online valuation thank them for their time as you close the door on them.

As of June of this year, there are a total of 3,829 licensed realtors in good standing within our local Board of realtors at SRCAR (Southwest Riverside County Association of realtors). Please note that not all of these realtors (licensed real estate agents) are created equal. Finding the right one for you when selling your home can make all the difference between a quick sale and languishing way too long on the market unsold. Take your time and hire the right one for you. It does not have to be a friend or relative. Remember this is a huge financial endeavor that you’ll be entrusting someone with that may very well have a significant impact on your financial future – for years to come. Consider these “Top 10 Questions” when picking the right person to help you and your family sell your Temecula or Murrieta home. Are you a full time realtor or part time? Juggling between real estate and another career can be difficult. Which career has the priority? Ask for the name of the part-time real estate agent’s supervisor and phone number. Are they available throughout the day or only during specific times? How Many Homes have YOU Sold in My Neighborhood in the last Year? Two Years? Five Years? In a perfect world, you’re prospective agent will have sold homes on your street and in your neighborhood. Ask for a report that would include how many homes the agent sold, the original list price to sold price ratio, the days on market (DOM) and the Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM). How do these numbers compare to the entire local market, during the same time period. Are you currently representing any other Sellers? How Many? Where are Your Listings? Some think an agent without any other clients will be able to give 100 percent focus to the sale of their home while others believe that a busy agent is a focused agent. The call is yours. Do you have an Assistant? Transaction Coordinator? Other Staff? What aspects of the transaction will you personally handle and what will be delegated? How involved is your agent? There are some that do nothing more than sign up new clients with a powerful listing presentation and then their team handles all other aspects of the transaction. Having a team and delegating may not be the ideal fit for you. If the sale of your home is a team effort, ask who who the teammates are. What does your prospective agent

Real Estate / Home & Garden GRASSES from page B-1 beautiful color and gets about 3’ tall and wide. “Dwarf Maiden Grass” is another great pick. It gets about 4’ high and 3’ wide. Blue switch grass, which gets to be 3’ to 4’ tall, has brilliant blue foliage and pinkish plumes. All of these grasses require little to no water, which is great in a region such as this. The “Pennisetums” are popular and available everywhere. A familiar varietal in this categoray is Pennisetum Rubrum, or “Purple Fountain Grass”; its everywhere – but it’s a nice color in the landscape, it’s reliable and it’s rugged, and that’s why it’s planted everywhere! Pennisetum alopecuroides is another good “fountain grass” variety; it has light green leaves instead of dark purple, with pinkish seed heads. Panicum virgatum, or “Cloud Nine” is a tall switch grass varietyis for those who want a “big” grass in the landscape, this one gets about 5-6’ high, and you can mass several together for a very striking display or focal point in the garden. Schizachyrium scoparium, or “Little Bluestem” is a great 2-3’ 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. There are lots of other varieties out there; I recommend checking to make sure they work in our climate zone, care, etc. before bringing them home and planting them.
There are a few other varieties of clumping grass that are wellknown and available, and you will see them planted often. However, I’d like to give you my advice based on first-hand experience. There is a grass called Nasella tenuissima that is commonly referred to as “Mexican Feather Grass”. My warning to you is that this is a very rampant spreader by seed. 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. Another grass that I would suggest only if you know how it grows is or Imperata cylindrical or “Japanese Blood Grass”. It spreads by runners, and is 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 it may be worth the effort. 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, but some like a little more. But since grasses are perennials, they will need to be cut down low every year 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 – Muhlen-
Blue oat grass is a standout in any garden.

bergia 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 its so thick, you can literally use it for a garden seat now! Grasses look fantastic in mixed borders, perennials beds, on slopes,

and just about anyplace 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. Well, that’s it for this week. Hope you will try one or more of my sug-
gested ornamental grass varieties and as always, I am available for consultations and design work. Happy Gardening! Linda McDonald Landscape Designer www.uniquelandscapes.net (951) 764-4762

After a few months of blue skies and warm temperatures, summer revelers will soon bid adieu to the sultry days of this beloved season. Summer is often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the warm days dwindle and work and school commitments begin anew, there is additional work to be done in preparation for the months ahead. Stock up on pool equipment. Homeowners who have pools can take advantage of end-of-season sales to purchase a few more gallons of pool chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have winterized the pool, and you will be ahead of the game in terms of supplies for next year. Plan your garden harvest. If you have a backyard garden, pick your tomatoes and other vegetables before the weather starts to get chilly. Herbs can be washed and frozen in zipper-top baggies so they can be used when cooking over the next several months. Boil tomatoes for sauce and freeze or jar them.
Begin to clear out residual stems and plant debris from the garden. Clean patios and furniture. Scrub and hose down outdoor furniture, cushions and living areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter, so everything is ready to go when the warm weather returns next year. Purchase spring bulbs. Buy bulbs for spring-blooming flowers and map out where they will be planted for beautiful flowers next year. Wait until temperatures start to dip before planting the bulbs, otherwise they may begin to produce shoots prematurely, zapping the bulbs of energy. Check the heating system. Although turning on the heat may be the last thing you’re thinking about, it’s a good idea to test it and, if necessary, have the system serviced prior to the arrival of cold weather. Tend to the deck and other repairs. Make repairs to outdoor structures now, and they’ll be more
likely to survive the harsh weather that’s just over the horizon. Apply stain or sealant to further protect wood structures in advance of snow and ice. Examine the roof and chimney. Winter is a poor time to learn you have missing roof shingles or a leak. Furthermore, ensure the chimney and venting to the outdoors is not obstructed by abandoned animal nests. Check your closets. Go through clothing and remove any items that are damaged or no longer fit, donating them if possible. Clean out kids’ closets as well, as pants that fit perfectly in May will not necessarily fit come September. Stock the shed. Once the weather has cooled down, move outdoor flower pots, hoses and lawn ornaments you no longer need into the shed or garage while ensuring items needed in fall and winter, such as rakes and tarps are more accessible.

Real Estate / Home & Garden
Getting to the Handshake: Negotiating the sale Paul Bandong Staff Writer Negotiating the sale of a home is a complex matter. Often it is not as simple as sellers wanting the highest price and buyers wanting the lowest price. There are many other possible factors and it pays to do some homework, ask the right questions, create the right environment and be creative. Do Your Homework: Understand what type of market you are in: A seller’s market will usually have lower inventory with fewer days on market, rising prices, active buyers and, in some cases, multiple offers. A buyer’s market will have high inventory with longer days on market and stagnant or decreasing prices. Both will have an affect on your negotiating position and who has leverage in the situation. Research previous comparable sales and active listings in your preferred area. Research the difference in each home’s amenities that might affect pricing (pools, flooring, home improvements, etc.) Determine what neighborhood factors add value or convenience: proximity to schools, parks, shopping, freeway access for commuters, cul-de-sac location for smaller kids to play in, clean/quiet area, pride of ownership, neighborhood activities, etc. Research the home’s sales history, time on market, price changes, taxes, HOA dues, property inspection and disclosures. Are there any offers on the table or expected? Ask the Right Questions: Determining motivations, showing interest and uncovering the home’s history (repairs, improvements, etc.) are important. If you can, ask neighbors questions about the sellers, the home, the neighborhood. The more knowledge you have, the more confidently you can negotiate. Create the Right Environment: Despite having different motivations, the goal is the same: the
successful transfer of the home. Establish rapport or common ground and constantly reinforce trust. Common ground could include similar jobs, college backgrounds, interests, hobbies, children’s needs, experiences and more. A pre-qualification letter lets sellers know you are serious buyers and helps establish trust. Avoid stirring up negative feelings. If you are the buyer, talk openly about the home’s features, repairs and improvements, but don’t run down the home by pointing out faults and deficiencies. Complimenting the home, decorations and landscape will let the seller feel good about your interest. Adjust to special needs: Older sellers may move at a slower pace; job relocations or sellers with a contingent offer on
their next property may require a faster close. Be Creative: Use the knowledge that you have gained to negotiate. Timing (length of escrow, occupancy date, postsale lease-back); repairs; security (home warranty, alarm systems); amenities (appliances, furniture, artwork, garden tools, recreation equipment) can all be bargaining chips. Removal of contingencies and payment of closing costs can also be powerful bargaining tools. Creative incentives (resort stays, vacations, etc.) have also been used to close sales. Negotiations are about giveand-take. Typical seller mistakes include getting angry or emotional about a low offer, overpricing an aging property, and not being willing to negotiate.
Don’t take a low offer personally; it is part of a negotiating strategy. Find out the reason for the low offer. They may be using inaccurate comparables, investors who low-ball, or buyers trying to buy above their price range. An aging property may need repairs, repainting or updating. Sellers who have comfortably lived in a home for years may not see the
home the same as buyers who have seen newer or refurbished homes. Before summarily dismissing an initial offer, sellers need to be willing to negotiate and should ask questions to determine what the buyer wants. The offer means that the buyer is interested. Remember the goal is the same: the handshake on the successful transfer of the property!

new students, and as a classroom setting and study lounge for current students. Apart from this location, Online and Professional Studies currently has other education center locations in Riverside and Menifee and will open new locations in Brea and Rancho Cucamonga this fall. Since 2010, CBU has had a transfer agreement with Mt. San Jacinto College, which allows for
a smooth transfer process. Popular programs include accounting, early childhood studies, business, communication, kinesiology and a RN to BSN program. The Promenade Temecula location adds even greater convenience for Temecula/ Murrieta valley residents. Online and Professional Studies offers over 40 Bachelor and Master Degree programs along with certificate and professional development
courses. Each program is designed with the working adult in mind, allowing students to flexibly manage school, family and work. This is possible through the various course formats: online, hybrid and in-person. CBU is now accepting applications for their various Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs starting in the fall.
Tips to help students choose the right major As recent college graduates can no doubt attest, the job market for young people can be difficult to navigate. Many recent graduates are still struggling to find full-time employment, and some might be wondering if they chose the right major.

Health
Avoiding pitfalls that can derail your diet
Diet and exercise go hand-inhand for men and women looking to improve their overall health. While it can be tempting to skip a workout in favor of relaxing on the couch at home, the temptation to cheat on your diet is far more pervasive, as dieters know that a high-calorie treat or second helping is lurking around seemingly every corner. As difficult as it can seem to remain loyal to a diet, successful dieters know that anticipation plays a big role in staying true to a diet. Certain pitfalls can be expected when dieting, and knowing what those pitfalls might be and how to avoid them can make the difference between a successful diet and one that does not produce the desired results. • Establish realistic and periodic goals. You should have a specific goal in mind when beginning a diet. But that goal should be realistic, and you also should set various smaller goals you can meet as you build up toward achieving your larger goal. Your ultimate goal as well as your periodic goals should be realistic and attainable, as nothing can
derail a diet more quickly than failing to meet your initial goals. If necessary, speak to your physician about healthy weight loss and how much time it should take to meet your goals without compromising your overall health. • Schedule your snacks. While snacking has derailed many a diet, grabbing a bite to eat between meals is not necessarily a dieter’s enemy. It’s what you eat between meals that can derail your diet. If you grab for the nearest snack without regard to nutrition, then you’re likely to find that your snacks are unhealthy foods that are compromising your diet. Scheduling your snacks in advance allows you to bring a healthy snack along to the office instead of forcing you to eat whatever happens to be available. • Make the cupboard commitment. Once you decide to go on a diet, clear your cupboards of all the unhealthy foods that contributed to your need to go on a diet in the first place. Remove fatty foods, salty snacks and sugary cereals from your cupboard, replacing them with healthier fare that
won’t put your dietary goals in jeopardy. • Reward your efforts. As you get deeper and deeper into dieting and meet your goals, reward your efforts. However, avoid the temptation to splurge on unhealthy food, as you don’t want to do anything to compromise your diet going forward and make all of your hard work up to that point all for naught. Rewards can include a shopping trip, tickets to a show or ballgame or any other special treat that won’t jeopardize your efforts. Knowing there is a reward on the way can motivate you to stay the course, especially on those days when doing so is particularly difficult. • Rest up. Studies have shown that inadequate sleep inspires people to crave calorie-dense foods. In addition, lack of sleep compromises energy levels and makes it difficult to focus, which can affect your decision-making ability with regard to which foods you should eat. Adults typically need between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, so be sure to get adequate rest.
Explore natural sleep remedies Sleep is a natural process designed to recharge the body and mind. Although some people find no difficulty in settling down for the night, many others profess to have periodic or chronic sleep problems. But before asking doctors to reach for their prescription pads, men and women struggling to fall asleep at night may want to consider some all-natural remedies to help them get a good night’s rest. Delta Sleep Labs says between 20 and 40 percent of all adults have insomnia in the course of any year, and more than 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders and wakefulness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognize insufficient sleep as a public health epidemic that can result in difficulty performing daily tasks, hypertension, depression, and even obesity. While sleeping pills can be effective, they pose the risk of dependence and also may carry with them dangerous side effects. Some individuals have driven or engaged in other potentially dangerous activities while under the influence of sleeping pills. No such side effects have been associated with natural remedies. When lifestyle changes, such as limiting caffeine intake or creating asleep hygiene program, fail to produce the desired results, the following natural remedies, when used as directed, may help men and women get a better night’s rest. • Meditation: Focusing on breathing and employing visualization may help relax the body into a state where it can drift off to sleep. In addition to calming the mind, meditation can reduce stress and hormone levels. Picturing a relaxing scene and focusing on all the senses involved in that scene may put you in a peaceful state of mind that makes it easier to fall asleep. • Distraction: Although there are conflicting reports as to whether reading or watching television before going to be can be a help or a hindrance, some people with insomnia do find these actions can help induce sleep. Choose

a book or a program that isn’t stimulating to distract yourself from anything that is causing distress. Doing so can create a state of relaxation that makes it easier to fall asleep. Use the sleep timer on the television to automatically turn of the TV after a set number of minutes, so you are not woken from sleep by a loud show after drifting off. Aromatherapy: Calming scents can relax the body. Preliminary research suggests that lavender essential oil may lengthen total sleep time, increase deep sleep and help people feel refreshed in the morning, particularly for women who have a more acute sense of smell than men. Put a few drops of lavender on a pillow before retiring to bed, or take a relaxing bath with the oil mixed into the bath water. Magnesium: Magnesium is a natural sedative. Foods rich in magnesium include dark green, leafy vegetables, almonds, whole grains, and legumes. Magnesium supplements also are available, and these are usually taken in a specific ratio with calcium to be the most effective. Valerian: Valerian is a natural herbal remedy that grows in the form of a tall, flowering grassland plant. The roots are ground to produce the supplement that could assist with sleep. The Mayo Clinic notes that several small studies indicate that valerian may reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and help you sleep better. Other studies have shown valerian to be no more effective than a placebo. However, with relatively few side effects, valerian may be worth a try. Lemon balm: This herbal supplement and tea works in a similar method to valerian. It is said to relieve anxiety and calm nerves, which could be infringing on your ability to fall asleep. Acupuncture: A study from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh concluded that acupuncture may be an effective treatment for insomnia. The
study found that five weeks of acupuncture increased melatonin secretion in the evening and improved total sleep time. • Melatonin supplements: A naturally occurring hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle in the brain, melatonin is produced when darkness falls. According to a Journal of Sleep Research study, time-release melatonin supplementation was effective in reducing sleeplatency and improving sleep quality. Lower doses of melatonin have been shown to be as effective as higher doses, so less is often more with melatonin. Insomnia can often be traced to anxiety and an overactive mind. However, it also may be a side effect of medication or a symptom of a larger condition. Speak with a doctor if insomnia becomes chronic or problematic.

Menifee’s finance department wins award of excellence Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Menifee’s finance department recently earned an award for excellence with their financial reporting. The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada gives this award to government finance agencies that uphold the high standards of their program. Officially, the award is called The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. It was given to the city for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for fiscal year 2012-13. “This award is affirmation that our city council policies are working and in line with our budget,” Mayor Scott Mann said. The finance department has come
a long way since its first few years in cityhood. In May 2010 an audit uncovered $400,000 in errors in the finance department. “I think it is great to win this award,” said Wendy Welch, who took over as interim finance director in 2010. “It is source of pride for me and the staff.” Welch said the staff has worked hard and they are proud to have turned things around, winning this award four times. Mayor Mann said those who work in the finance department came up with ways to stay balanced despite the state taking away $14 million since 2011 in vehicle license fees. Menifee was a fledging city six years ago, having just incorporated when the state took away VLF fees earmarked for city services
like police. Members of GFOA believe it is important to recognize cities who demonstrate a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate the city’s financial story and to motivate audiences to use the document. “As Mayor I am proud our city can balance the budget and I am proud of our finance department who on any given day is working on three budgets, the previous year’s budget, the current budget and future,” Mann said. Menifee’s CAFR document provides a comprehensive presentation of the city’s financial status for the year. The document offers a citywide view of all governmental activities with focus on the financial position and operating results of the city’s major funds.
“We’re proud of our finance department because this marks the fourth GFOA Certificate of Achievement award for Menifee,” City Manager Rob Johnson said.
“Menifee’s finance team maintains high quality accounting standards and produces a useful, easy to navigate comprehensive annual financial report.”

of the iceberg when it comes to things that leave patients in a state of trepidation. Other things such as a doctor’s demeanor with his patients or his ability to determine the cause of a certain toothache can either mitigate a patient’s concerns or make them worse.

for additional dental work. One Temecula dentist recognizes the common stresses of getting tooth work done. He tries to ease the process of dental procedures by offering up an atmosphere of smiles and friendly conversation as well as new technologies for relaxation. That dentist is Dr. John Luckey, a Temecula resident and dentist for many years. Luckey has more than 30 years of experience as a dentist. He started a practice in San Diego not long after he graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1981. For more than a decade Luckey ran his practice in San Diego, where he provided his patients with versatile dental care and personable interaction. But, as is often the case with people who have families, Luckey decided it was time to leave the city and go to a place that was better for raising children. He settled on Temecula and in 1997, the town
became his home. It wasn’t long after that Luckey started his dental practice here and he’s been caring for Southwest Riverside patients ever since. He said his approach to caring for those patients is to make them feel comfortable. “We’ve got the jazz station on in the background and essential oils being diffused throughout the office,” Luckey said. “We just try to have a relaxed, friendly, non-stuffy atmosphere in the office.” Luckey defined his practice as a standard dentistry. He said this means they do just about everything from teeth whitening to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Some dental procedures may necessitate the use of injections, but Luckey said he’s able to assuage the fears of most patients who are afraid of such things. “I’ve always been pretty good with injections; once a patient has had one they’re really not concerned about having them from me anymore,” he said. But for those who are particularly nervous and want to relax, Dr. Luckey’s office has “Holosync,” a
neuro-audio technology that allows patients to enter different meditative states as they’re being worked on. The device delivers audio tones to the nervous system using a low carrier frequency stimulus. These tones are covered by the ambient sounds like ocean waves. Technologies may be a great way to bolster the quality of patient care, but Luckey said he believes being personable with patients is also extremely important. “We do our best to deliver really good competent care in a relaxed atmosphere and I think that makes a world of difference,” Luckey said. “I think if a patient gets to know you and feels like they’re part of the family or one of your friends, it just make it a lot easier on them.” The office of Dr. John M. Lucky, DDS is located at 29645 Rancho California Rd, Suite 126, in Temecula. For additional information, visit his website at http://www. drluckey.com or call 951-6764556.
