Wildomar fire blamed on butane honey oil explosion

WILDOMAR – A fire that left one person injured, destroyed a home and damaged another in Wildomar Wednesday, July 19, was likely triggered by a butane gas explosion ignited during the illegal production of the marijuana derivative known as “honey oil,” authorities said.

Children lined up in potato sacks and raced one another to the finish during Menifee’s sixth annual family campout held at La Ladera Park Saturday, July 22. Their parents competed against each other soon after. See more photos on page C-1. Jacob Preal photo

The dance group “Boys of Temecula” represents Temecula Dance Company and their community well, performing in the NBC show Courtesy photo “World of Dance.”

Bringing local flare to the popular NBC dance show ‘World of Dance,’ the group, Boys of Temecula, has made it past the qualifying round, performing twice on the show. Twenty boys from Temecula Dance Company performed two jazz numbers in the junior division, ultimately making it to round two of the season and even managing to raise their score for the second performance. Varying in ages from 12-16, Temecula Dance Company put together the group of 20 boys, choosing them based on network requirements and the technical ability of the young dancers. Finishing

with a score of 84.7 out of 100 points, the dance troop made it as far as the internationally renowned Jabbawockeez, receiving the same score in the qualifying round. The company is proud of their 50 male competition dancers – one of the largest groups in the country – according to Artistic Director Jimmy Peters. The boys in the group have trained with the dance company for four to nine years. After seeing a Facebook ad for the show “World of Dance,” Peters and Boys Program Director Erik Saradpon decided to submit footage of the group from a past competition. “The network was looking for

Lake Elsinore City Council confirms property tax levies Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Lake Elsinore City Council, July 11, approved fiscal year 20172018 property tax levies, totaling $20,762,596.14 that property owners will be receiving later this year. The property tax information will be forwarded to the Riverside County Tax Assessors Office confirming what will be collected during the fiscal year and assuring investors and bondholders that they will be receiving payments from the city that will help recover their principal and interest on investments and bond issuances. Riverside County collects the property taxes from residents and forwards the revenues back to the city. Included in the property tax levies is $2,631,596.14 from 6,411 parcels of land that will be used to pay for residents’ fire, law enforcement

and paramedics during the year. The city contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for its law enforcement needs. The levy also includes the collection of $2,504,768 from 2,121 property owners in west Lake Elsinore, one of the larger property areas. The property taxes, in addition to helping pay for Lake Elsinore residents’ public safety, also provides money to many important capital improvement projects like highway and street maintenance, parks, landscaping, flood control, water and power. The capital improvement projects are paid for by the residents through what are called Community Financial Districts. The CFDs cover any special projects needed by the many communities within the city, including new developments. In other action at the regular July 11 Lake Elsinore City Council meeting, the council authorized the

purchase and installation of security and surveillance cameras at Canyon Hills Community Park. The cameras will cost $52,113.91 to purchase and install. The contract will be awarded to Millennium Alarm Systems; the company has designed surveillance camera installations throughout the city. City Manager Grant Yates said in his report, Canyon Hills Community Park includes higher-end finishes and amenities “that attract visitors and sporting from local areas. It is necessary to install and provide security and surveillance capabilities throughout the park. Unfortunately, threats facing this facility on a daily basis have the potential to severely impede intended operational uses and directly escalate city maintenance costs.” He noted the security cameras should be a highly effective deterrent.

SAN DIEGO – Reeder Media received numerous awards at the San Diego Society of Professional Journalists 2017 Awards Banquet, including a first place for breaking news coverage. The banquet, held at the Kona Kai Resort and Spa on San Diego’s Shelter Island, July 19, recognizes the outstanding efforts of journalists throughout San Diego and the surrounding communities. Managing Editor Kim Harris was awarded first place in the Breaking News category for “City settles lawsuit involving former mayor’s alleged inappropriate conduct,” originally published Aug. 16, 2016, on www.myvalleynews.com. Judges called the story “a solid breaking news story,” due to the research and sources necessary to complete the article. “It’s always been our goal to provide those stories that affect the communities we cover to our

readers in a timely manner,” Harris said. “Being recognized by my peers for my efforts is something that I hold in high regard, and I am truly honored by this award.” Reeder Media Staff Writer Tom Ferrall won second place in the Feature Story category for “Garnets provide lucrative opportunity,” originally published in the April 15, 2016, edition of Village News. Ferrall secured another second-place award in the Sports Category for the story “Danzing Candy gives Bonsall rooting interest in Kentucky Derby,” which was published three weeks later in the May 6, 2016, edition of Village News. Both stories are available to read online at www.villagenews.com. Longtime Contributing Writer Nathalie Taylor was awarded two third-place awards: one for “Stuntman Rich Minga - Facing Danger on the Job,” in the Arts/Entertainment story category and a second

third-place award for “Saving Bonsall’s 120-year-old Schoolhouse.” Both were published in Reeder Media’s Fallbrook Sourcebook magazine. In a first for Reeder Media, Staff Writer Tony Ault brought home a second-place award in the News or Feature Series (any subject) category for his series “Water rights in Anza and Aguanga.” The series was originally published in the Anza Valley Outlook beginning Aug. 5, 2016, and was subsequently published in both Valley News and Village News. The award was the first-ever award for Anza Valley Outlook, which was purchased by Reeder Media about a decade ago. The series can be read online at www.anzavalleyoutlook.com. “I am so pleased to see all of our winners recognized for their hard work and dedication by their peers,” Harris said. “Having our first win for Anza Valley Outlook is really gratifying, both to myself and all of our staff who strives to provide the best in local coverage for our readers.” Publisher Julie Reeder said the awards solidify something she has known all along – the dedication of her staff is second to none as evidenced by their more than 200 awards. “I want to congratulate all of our winners from this year’s SPJ Journalism contest,” Reeder said. “These awards show the commitment of our staff in providing timely, unbiased, quality stories that truly matter to the residents of the communities we serve.”

services. On her fifth anniversary in 2012, she was declared cancer-free. Her doctor asked Briseno’s sister who accompanied her to the exam when her last screening was; it was in 2008. The subsequent test came back positive. At the same time, Sonia Briseno found a lump in her right breast. “My sister and I journeyed together,” she said. “We even had our surgeries on the same day. “Breast cancer changed my life, but in a positive way,” Briseno said. “There is a high mortality rate for breast cancer in Latino women. I can use my experience to educate and impact the Latino community. We can have everything, but if we don’t have our health, we can’t share the ‘everything’ we have.” The Susan G. Komen organiza-

tion has provided over $920 million in funding for cancer research and more than $2 billion for screening, education and treatment, Jill Eaton, executive director for Komen Inland Empire said. “This is second only to the U.S. government,” Eaton said. “Since our affiliate founding in 1998, Komen Inland Empire has granted $6.4 million in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Our goal is to reduce breast cancer deaths 50 percent by 2026. You – survivors and supporters – are our heroes.” The Komen Inland Empire’s “Race for the Cure” is Sunday, Oct. 8, at Town Square Park in Murrieta.

Smith said. Cancer survivors Diana Rojas and Sonia Briseno shared their cancer stories and the role that Komen Inland Empire played in their journeys to health. Rojas was diagnosed with breast cancer – stage 2, grade 3 -- at age 33 “and the first thing that came to my mind when they said ‘cancer’ was death,” Rojas said. “And I was scared. Scared for myself, but more so scared to leave my kids. They’re so little.” Her children, Sebastian, 6, and Sabrina, 3, accompanied her to the event. “I was unprepared financially,” she said. “Komen resources helped me pay for screenings and so much more.” Rojas had four surgeries and received five months of chemotherapy. “I want kind-hearted individuals to know it helps, and it also helps to know I am not alone in this,” Rojas said. “Because of you, I am here today with my little ones, and there are no words to express my gratitude.” Sonia Briseno shared her story at the state Capitol in support of Assembly Bill 1795, regarding changes in the health care treatment of cancer patients. The bill lowers the age of eligibility for benefits, offers treatment for reoccurrence of cancer in the same tissue and extends the length of treatment. The bill would provide life-saving screening and treatment for low-income Californians. “In April 2008, I was a single mom with two young beautiful daughters,” Briseno said. “And I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in my left breast. It was the most fear I ever had. I had no insurance. I told my mom, ‘Let’s try to think that I am not going to die.’” Komen Inland Empire was able to help her with state insurance and patient follow-ups and various other

Foster kids receive free athletic shoes Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

On July 24 at the Pechanga Theater, 54 foster children from Rancho Damacitas and the Koinonia programs in Temecula received free brand-name athletic shoes from the Shoes That Fit organization and Pechanga Casino & Resort. Angels pitcher, aptly-named Matt Shoemaker, distributed the shoes personally to each of the children. Pechanga also treated the foster children and foster families to their all-you-can-eat buffet. “This is pretty exciting,” said Atheeniss, age 11, “It really helps us who have been through a lot.” She has been in the Rancho Damacitas program for three years, and says, “It’s just like family to me.” She was excited about her new light turquoise running shoes. “It’s a fresh new start for my feet,” said Tyriel Candler, age 12 as she proudly displayed her new shoes, “It’s pretty cool and makes a lot us happy to know that someone cares enough to do something like this for us.” Candler had been in four group homes before coming to Rancho

Damacitas. “New shoes are a big deal to these foster kids,” said Kristi Piatkowski, Director of Development for Rancho Damacitas. “Many come from a background of years of neglect and abuse; some come to us with just the clothes on their backs and most are wearing handme-downs. Many don’t know their sizes.” “The opportunity to get new shoes, free food and meet a professional baseball player is exciting and we gave the kids the chance to earn the right to be here,” said Sarah Urquidi, a fill-in foster parent who has been working with children at Rancho Damacitas for four years. “The kids earned points working toward their treatment plans; 90 percent of our kids earned the right to be here.” “Getting something new and something that fits really contributes to their confidence and self-esteem,” said Hall. “You can see a change in their demeanor, especially since school is so stressful. They are often the “new kid” and that confidence, self-esteem and acceptance is so important at their ages.”

“We want to give kids the tools that they need to play and thrive,” said Nekeda Newell-Hall, Director of Corporate Engagement for the nonprofit Shoes That Fit organization. “Many kids have never had new shoes or even shoes that fit. Correctly fit shoes give kids the confidence to participate in learning, sports and activities. Fit is important to avoid physical and postural problems; even used shoes are already molded to someone else’s feet.” Shoes That Fit – named a California Nonprofit of the Year -- has donated shoes to 100,000 children in 2,000 schools in 46 states. “There are 16 million kids in poverty in the U.S.. We hope to double our total each year,” said Hall,” and we rely on corporate partners – like Pechanga -- to provide us with the funding to buy the shoes.” The organization does not yet have a major shoe manufacturer as a partner and purchases the shoes for the kids from Rack Room, Nordstrom’s, some wholesalers and even at retail stores. Private donors also provide

maker. “One kid was so excited, he took off his shoes right away and put on the new ones up here on the stage. I’m happy to do this.” Shoemaker and teammate, JC Ramirez, participated in a free meet-and-greet and signing event with the public later that evening in the Pechanga Theater.

San Jacinto Cannabis Oversight Committee near approval Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The basic formation of the suggested Cannabis Oversight Committee for the City of San Jacinto was outlined by San Jacinto City Manager Robert Johnson at the regular city council meeting July 18. The San Jacinto City Council, since the passage of Proposition 64 in November permitting the recreational use of marijuana in the state has voted to permit cannabis developers to locate in agricultural portions of the city to grow and cultivate the drug. San Jacinto has become one of the few cities in Southern California to permit commercial medical marijuana grows since the state propositions’ passage. It will cost developers $16,500 to gain permits for commercial medical cannabis growth and cultivation and only two 5-acre parcels of land have been OK’d for the operations. No permits had been officially filed by the July 18 meeting, according to City Manager Robert Johnson, but interest has been noted by several developers. With the approvals, the council has adopted strict rules on where and how the growers can operate and is now working to form a special Cannabis Oversight Committee to make sure the ordinances are followed and to suggest other ideas on its control and distribution in the community. Johnson, on the request of council, presented how the Cannabis Policy Oversight Team, called CPOT might operate at the Tuesday night meeting. He suggested CPOT be made up of 15-16 members and meet monthly as needed to provide “community and industry stakeholder input on cannabis policy for the City of San Jacinto.” He suggested that CPOT will provide a diverse prospective from the stakeholders from the cannabis industry, San Jacinto residents and neighborhoods, the business community and public health groups. Provide the council recommendations that inform future cannabis policy decisions made by the Cannabis Program and the city council. CSPOT would also assist the city in more effectively responding to neighborhood safety and livability

concerns, address emerging issues in the cannabis industry and make sure the regulations “accurately reflect the changing cannabis landscape.” Johnson suggested CPOT be made up of one or two city councilmembers, the city manager or his designee, four residents of the city not currently members of any other committee, three business owners not on any city commission or committee, two licensed marijuana cultivation permit holders, a member of the San Jacinto Police Department and two at large members. The council discussed who may also be included on CPOT. Several councilmembers suggested that someone from the school district also be on the committee. Johnson said once CPOT has been formed their first priorities should “work to reduce the illegal market, youth prevention strategies, review the impacts of the legalization on the San Jacinto Community and unintended consequences for the business community.” He said the decisions of CPOT would not be binding but they would provide valuable content to the city’s Cannabis Program. The council approve the general concept as presented by Johnson but sent it back to staff to finalize the CPOT proposition. In other business, after hearing a report from members of the Riverside Auto-Theft Interdiction Detail (RAID) voted to provide a letter of support for AB 767 that would continue funding for the RAID task Force. RAID officers told the council that their team in 2016 apprehended 185 suspects and recovered 533 stolen vehicles with a recovery value of approximately $5,190,629, 18 percent above the 2015 figures. They noted that 289 were stolen out of the Hemet San Jacinto area in 2016 with 133 already reported stolen this year and those are expected rise even more. AB 767 authorizes an additional $1 fee assessed on all new and renewed vehicles registered in Riverside County and an additional $2 fee on all commercial vehicles weighing over 10,001 pounds. RAID Task Force Commander Lt. M.F. Lucio said the Riverside RAID officers are

only seeking approval of the $1 fee. The proceeds will make up for the increase salary and benefit rates needed for auto theft investigators assigned the RAID team and would allow for the expansion of RAID

personnel by allied agencies. The letter would be forwarded to the Riverside Board of Supervisors who would also voice their support for AB 767. Lucio was asked what is account-

ing for the increase in auto thefts across the state. He said there are a number of reasons, but most likely because of the recently passed California Proposition 57 that made auto theft no longer a felony.

Hemet 2017-2018 fiscal year draft budget approval is still in limbo Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Still not satisfied with the draft fiscal year 2017-2018 budget as presented by city staff, Hemet City Council has once again resolved to delay it for up to 90 days while questions asked about the proposed expenditures of each department are answered. The council and some members of the public who spoke at the city council meeting, July 11, expressed concern about the costs accumulated by the city attorney in past years that were not paid and the revenues and expenditures proposed by the city-owned water department for 2017-2018. The city’s newest council members, Karlee Meyer and Michael Perciful, have led the way in seek-

ing a better understanding of the city’s proposed expenditures for 2017-2018 and a strategic plan that would clarify the city’s budget goals for the next five years. City staff has provided the council with proposed departmental budgets, each time a little more detailed as requested. But Meyer still believes there is a need for an even better explanation of each departments requested expenditures in the draft budget that should be reviewed by the city council. “We have asked for this for weeks,” Meyer said. She believes that some of the “encumbrances were off” in some of the numbers. She held up some budget estimates provided her by several department heads after being asked. “I got more than I asked,” she said. She said she believes the depart-

ment heads do not want to give the council members their proposed budgets, even though they were asked to do so. “They don’t want to bring us the numbers because they are loyal to you,” she said, pointing the statement to City Manager Alex Meyerhoff. “This is just unacceptable.” In previous meetings, Meyerhoff and finance consultant Joy Canfield told the council that it would take a lot of time for each department head to come up with precise revenue expectations and their expenditures for the fiscal year, but given the time, it could be done as requested by the council. Meyer said she was “frustrated” with the city manager for not getting the budget information to her sooner as previously promised. The city council learned from the city attorney that the 2017-2018 fiscal year budget did not have to be approved June 30. But, any questions on items in the draft budget need to

DANCE from page A-1 certain criteria, and we worked to show the versatility of what our boys can do,” Peters explained. They were invited to Los Angeles to audition in front of the network, producers and choreographers. After passing those trials, they submitted rehearsal footage of the number they would perform in qualifiers to the network. Finally, they were invited to compete in the Universal Studios back lot; the same place where NBC is producing their premier singing competition, “The Voice.” Amid a schedule of national competitions in Florida and Las Vegas, the Boys of Temecula managed to find rehearsal time, reportedly sacrificing time from school vacations and after school. “They all made sacrifices to do the show, whether that be personal time or after school activities. They were

of the Measure U Budget and Expenditures Plan is on file in the office of the city clerk and is available online at the city’s webpage.” The resolution also approves the 2017-2018 budget attributable to the previously approved memorandum of understanding with the Hemet Police Officers Association, Hemet Firefighters Association and Hemet Police Management Association regarding their salaries and benefits. The monies to make those payments would come from the general fund reserve until the new budget is approved. The resolution also provides for the city’s formal spending limitation of $104,310,206 for fiscal year 2017-2018. The city council originally planned to “go dark” for its July 25 meeting, but they agreed to hold it on time to once again to review the draft 2017-2018 fiscal year budget and possibly approve it.

all in, working together to make it happen.” Peters said. Leading up to the show, the boys followed a practice schedule including two to three hours of ballet, two to three hours of jazz, one hour of jazz, and two hours of hip-hop, totaling four to eight hours of rehearsal practice every week; however, once winter break began they practiced four hours a day, according to Peters. Rehearsals entailed blocking choreography, focusing on hitting certain marks and camera angles and readjusting the logistics for a television number. The boys would be given variations of the choreography and trained to remain flexible for the choreographers to choose the best blockings under a time restraint. After advancing past qualifiers on Mondays, they returned to the studio and to choreograph the next number because their weekly tech rehearsal at the studio was on Wednesdays and

filming took place on Fridays. The show schedule placed high demands on the young dancers, and the Boys of Temecula proved their capabilities by their performance in the second round, receiving a higher score than the week before. Beyond the valuable skills earned in quickly picking up new choreography and perfecting it, the boys have benefited from their time on the show in other ways. Many of the boys have been offered new opportunities and have picked up film and dance jobs since the show aired. The majority of the boys are working, and two of the boys have unofficially been given large roles in major television shows, Peters said. Growing in acclaim, the Boys of Temecula continue to train and represent their dance company and the greater Temecula Valley community.

be resolved by the council no later than Sept. 30, when all bills due for 2016-2017 have to be paid and new revenues will be available for use. Because questions remain on the proposed 2017-2018 draft budget, the council voted to once again delay the final budget approval for up to the 90-day limit, but provided residents with the assurance that essential city services, such as fire, police, water, electricity, gas, etc., would continue and that all the city’s contractual obligations would be met. Under the Resolution Bill No. 17-045, the city will “ensure continued funding of the city until Sept. 30, 2017, or until the city council earlier adopts a fiscal year 2017-2018 budget.” Under Section 2 of the resolution, the council does “adopt the Measure U Budget and Expenditure Plan for fiscal year 2017-2018 as attached hereto and incorporated therein by reference as Attachment ‘A.’ A copy

With the help of other cities, Seyarto said he thinks it’s possible to create a bipartisan effort to change the CVRA, as he said it’s clear the law, by dividing minority voters across districts, does the opposite of what it is intended to do.

Cameron said because the council has previously expressed interest in being able to change back to at-large voting in the event the CVRA is changed or invalidated, the draft ordinance was changed to add a new section to the city municipal code “so that we would not intermingle the changes that are going on with existing code sections, making it easy to make the switch back if that’s what occurs.”

Sparks fly as local athletes find success at National Taekwondo tournaments JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Taekwondo is becoming a more media-friendly, spectator-centric sport and one local Taekwondo school is seeing a big increase in attendance because of its increased popularity over the last few years. Sparks Taekwondo, located in Murrieta, thrives off their rapport with the community and ensures that every one of their instructors focuses on really being a family. Master Jef Go and his staff work every single day to give their students the best experience and with their recent national accolades, it shows. Earlier this month, Sparks sent a handful of athletes off to compete at the 2017 USA Taekwondo Nationals held in Detroit, Michigan, from June 29 – July 6. The tournament is the world’s largest with over 3,600 participants from all over the country. Eight of their athletes qualified for Nationals earlier this year at the Nevada and Arizona State Qualifiers and performed well in their respective weight divisions. “The highlight of the USA Taekwondo Nationals tournament was our very own Vincent Bui, who earned a spot on the U.S. National Team,” exclaimed Master Jef. Vincent is the 2017 National Champion in the Junior -48 Flyweight Division and will compete in the 2017 Pan-American Taekwondo Championships in San Jose, Costa Rica next month. Zardo James Villanueva, who competed in the Cadet Blue-belt -33kg Finweight division, is also a National Champion. The Michigan tournament was his first time competing at a National level. Kobi Gory captured the Bronze medal in the Cadet -45kg Featherweight division while both Tristan Thomas and Leanna Jane Riberal lost in their quarterfinals match. “Despite the losses, their performances were amazing considering they were the youngest in their weight category,” added Go. From Detroit, the competitors flew to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the 2017 AAU Nationals which began on July 3and continued through July 8. The AAU Nationals had over 3,000 participants, in which 3 of those were Sparks athletes who earned the spot for the AAU National Team Trials in September. Vincent Bui and Tristan Thomas both won the Silver medal

in their division. Go also stated, “One of the main highlights of this competition was Tristan who fought 5 times all the way up to the Finals.” Justin Chan lost in his Quarterfinals match, but still made the spot to compete in Team trials and Jayvian Gory lost in the Quarterfinals in the 8-9 year old blue-belt division, but battled in a tiebreaker point.

California girls, including San Jacinto’s Aceval, ranked among top wrestlers in the nation SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling have released their first national rankings for high school girls. The three leading wrestling organizations have partnered to create regular national rankings and will work together to strategically publish rankings throughout the year. Rankings will be on each organization’s website as well as being promoted through each of their different media platforms. “One of the best ways to grow our sport is through increased participation from female athletes,” said National Wrestling Hall of Fame Executive Director Lee Roy Smith. “We all feel that it is time for our female wrestlers to be awarded the same opportunities as male wrestlers, and having regular national rankings is a positive step toward making that happen.” The first ranking was put out before the U.S. Marine Corps Junior and Cadet Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota, July 14-22 and the final ranking for the 2016-17 season will be published shortly thereafter. This ranking will evaluate all girls enrolled in grades 9-12, and include athletes from all 50 states.

There are six states which sponsor official girls state high school championships, while many other states are also developing their girls’ high school programs. Currently, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), there were 13,496 girls who wrestled nationally on the high school level, representing 2,000 different high schools. Girls’ high school wrestling participation has grown for 27 consecutive years, and is expected to continue this growth well into the future. Coaches, parents and athletes will be encouraged to

provide information about specific athletes and their achievements throughout the year for the committee to consider. If they have information on specific girls who should be considered for ranking, please submit it to girlsrankings@ usawrestling.org. National High School Girls Rankings – July 2017 Developed by National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling include: Angelina Gomez, sophomore - West Covina, California - Northview High School (100 lbs); Rory Coscia, junior - Modesto, California - Enochs High School (117

Baron named to all-MWC preseason first team, on Lou Groza Award watch list Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

John Baron II, a 2014 Chaparral High School graduate who is now the placekicker on the San Diego State University football team, has received several preseason awards. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission included Baron among the 30 placekickers nationwide on the initial watch list for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. Athlon Sports, Lindy’s Sports, and Phil Steele’s 2017 College Football Preview all named Baron to the all-Mountain West Conference first team. Lindy’s Sports deemed Baron the eighth-rated Football Bowl Subdivision placekicker. Baron will have junior status this year, making him eligible for the National Football League draft, and Phil Steele’s 2017 College Football Preview declared him the seventh-rated kicker in the 2018 NFL draft. “It’s all preseason stuff. It’s really good to get that recognition, but it’s preseason. You never know when the season comes what’s going to happen,” Baron said. “Just ready to get it started.” Baron made 21 of 23 field goal attempts and 56 of 58 extra point attempts during the Aztecs’ 14 games in 2016. His 21 field goals set a school record, as did his .913 field goal percentage which ranked 10th among all National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Bowl

Subdivision kickers. Baron’s 119 points equated to 8.50 points per game which ranked him 20th nationally, and his 1.50 field goals per game also ranked 20th in the nation. Baron kicked off 94 times last year, and those kicks traveled 5,891 yards total for an average of 62.7 yards per kickoff. Thirty-three of Baron’s kickoffs were touchbacks. Baron was named to the Mountain West Conference first team for 2016, and he was also named the MWC’s Special Teams Player of the Week for the games ending Oct. 29 and was named a Lou Groza Award Star of the Week for the games ending Nov. 12. Lou Groza was the Cleveland Browns’ placekicker for 21 years. The 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award will be announced Nov. 2. Last year Baron became the first San Diego State semifinalist since 2003. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission recognizes the top three Football Bowl Subdivision kickers each week for the Lou Groza Award Star of the Week distinction. “Right now I’m excited. I feel like it’s really cool to get that recognition,” Baron said of being on the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award watch list. “Just makes me look forward to the season more.” Baron considers his ranking as eighth best in the nation to be an honor rather than a slight. “I’m definitely honored. Last year no one

knew who I was and this year I’m getting all these preseason accolades and it’s really all part of the experience for me,” he said. “It’s never happened to me before, so I’m just soaking it in and enjoying it.” Donny Hageman was the Aztecs’ placekicker in 2014 and 2015, so Baron did not see action in a collegiate game until the Aztecs opened their 2016 season. San Diego State posted an 11-3 record last year including victories over Wyoming in the MWC championship game and over Houston in the Las Vegas Bowl. This year the Aztecs begin play Sept. 2 at home against the University of California, Davis and follow

Hemet Valley Medical Center graduate medical education program receives accreditation Gloria Magallanes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The postgraduate medical education residency program aims to combine teaching, education and integral clinical services along with high quality patient care in order to give students a well-rounded education. The program offers training in traditional rotating residencies, diagnostic radiology and internal medicine. HVMC’s postgraduate medical education residency program pairs up residents with local hospitals “to provide an intensive, as well as practical, training opportunity.” Residents serve rotations at Hemet Valley Medical Center, Menifee Valley Medical Center as well as at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center or Loma Linda University Medical Center for services that are not provided at the other campuses. However, residents are primarily based and trained at HVMC. Radiology residents are also trained at Hemet Valley Imaging. Since its inception, the program has grown to 36 admitted graduates. White predicts that the residency program will only continue to grow due to the deficit of postgraduate training in the U.S. According to White, there are only 185 medical schools that “provide additional postgraduate training” leaving lots of applicants competing for placements. White said that every year there are hundreds of graduates that don’t get a postgraduate training placement and because of this HMVC’s program decided to increase the number of admissions, “There were about 1,200 people that did not match a location so we’ve added to the pool to assist

For the past few years Hemet Valley Medical Center has not only been a hospital focused on giving its patients the utmost care, it has also been an education center for graduate medical students. In April 2013, Hemet Valley Medical Center launched the postgraduate medical education program with the first group of 20 medical residents in July 2015. The program grew to 27 residents in its second year and just received its accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The mission of the program, according to Medical Director Dr. Frederick White is “to provide physician residents with a training program and a comprehensive structured cognitive and procedural clinical education in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.” The program hopes to achieve its goal of training and guiding medical residents toward a successful professional life that will enable them to become “competent, proficient and professional physicians, supporting the medical needs of our community for years to come.” The hospital, through its postgraduate residency program, hopes that graduates trained at HVMC will continue to practice medicine in the area and therefore give back to the community. “The Inland Empire is underserved in physicians, and so if even a half of these residents stay within the area, it will be a very positive influence over many, many years in the future,” White said.

that,” he said. HMVC’s residency program has received hundreds of applications from around the country since the program was launched and has admitted graduates from New York, Washington, Texas and the western region of the United States. White said that he has high hopes for the postgraduate residency program and the community. “It’s a pretty exciting time for us and our hospital, and so I think there are some real positives out of

Valley Medical Center is affiliated with Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific and together participate in the growth, development and education of physicians who rotate in their programs. Since the launch of the residency program, the hospital has received and accepted applicants nationwide and hopes to continue making an impact in both the lives of future doctors and local patients.

this,” White said. HVMC’s postgraduate medical education residency program plans to develop into a mature program that will add more residencies such as emergency medicine and family medicine in the near future. Founded in 1943 and fully accredited by The Joint Commission, Hemet Valley Medical Center serves as the largest private employer in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley with a 317-bed hospital just southeast of Los Angeles.

Four benefits of respite care provided by FirstLight Home Care TEMECULA – In a matter of moments, your responsibilities in life can shift from those of a full-time employee to an unpaid caregiver. Whether it’s for an aging parent or recovering sibling, the National Alliance for Caregiving estimates voluntary family aid to be worth $375 billion a year, and 29 percent of Americans provide some sort of care to ill, disabled or aging family members or friends. While there’s no doubt you care deeply for your loved ones, caregiving is often a full-time job that can impact your personal well-being and work performance. However, you may not feel comfortable signing away complete caregiving

responsibilities to a professional caretaker or nursing home – this situation is where respite care can help. This service is designed to offer temporary relief by having a professional caregiver come in and take care of your loved ones when you are unable to do so. Respite care services provide four benefits worth the investment. It provides increased time with your family.

The New Temecula Valley High School Biosustainability Club receives $20,000 grant to build a campus aquaponics greenhouse TEMECULA – The newly launched Temecula Valley High School Biosustainability Club has been awarded a $20,000 Institute for Teaching Grant to help support the construction of an extensive on-campus aquaponics greenhouse that will be designed, built and maintained by students. The project will give Temecula Valley High School students a unique opportunity to build and run a state-of-the art aquaponics system that will supply produce and fish for the needs of the campus’ new Culinary Arts program and also provide donated food to the Temecula Food Pantry. Aquaponics is a process that combines hydroponics and aquaculture to grow organic produce and farm fish with the use of only a small amount of soil, through a symbiotic relationship between the fish and plants being cultivated. Plans are for students to use the greenhouse to farm tilapia and grow and cultivate a range of vegetables and herbs. Statewide, such grants are awarded to individuals and programs that exhibit innovation, with programs that tap into school and communities using a strength-based approach. TVHS Advanced Placement Biology teacher Tobin Brannon is spearheading the Biosustainability

Club and applied for the grant earlier this year. Brannon said he has been encouraged by the level of parent and student interest the concept has generated. To date, 79 students, most of whom have taken biology or AP biology at TVHS, have expressed interest in joining the club and working on the aquaponics greenhouse project during the 2017-2018 school year. The Temecula Valley Unified School District and TVHS gave the club a plot of vacant land next to the baseball field on campus to build the greenhouse, which is envisioned to be about 30 feet by 55 feet once built. Work is already underway with the help of parent and school staff volunteers, with the fencing going up over the summer. Design work, fundraising and planning will begin in earnest after students return to campus in the fall. “We are so appreciative of the opportunity that the California Teachers Association and Institute for Teaching have afforded TVHS Biosustainability,” Brannon said. “Their belief and trust in the vision of our students is going to transform the educational experience of every student involved as well as affect positive change on our school campus and in our local

community.” He said the $20,000 grant is the beginning of the club’s fundraising efforts, which will continue throughout the year with the help of parent volunteers. “Temecula Valley has been on the map for so many great reasons, and this adds another piece to what we are offering our students,” TVHS Principal Allen Williams said. “This project demonstrates how we are partnering with the community to fulfill our vision and mission of our school, which is to have our students

thrive and contribute to their community and world. “This project extends the boundaries of TVHS’s influence in the community. It allows our students and school the opportunity to give and serve, not to mention the practical application of scientific inquiry and exploration,” Williams said. The TVHS proposal was 1 of 132 applications that were submitted by CTA members statewide, according to the grant award letter from Dick Gale, manager and program director for the CTA’s Institute for Teaching.

It was the highest number of applications in the eight-year history of the grant program. All proposals were evaluated through the lens of the IFT Strength-Based matrix, and each was scored on a 0-3-point scale for each of the seven areas of the matrix. The grant selection committee recommended 49 educator and impact grants for next year totaling $583,529. The Temecula Valley Educators Association will serve as the fiscal agent to receive the funds on behalf of the Biosustainability Club.

Corporate leaders can inspire peak performance in their teams Dr. Greg Wells SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

One of the biggest challenges corporate leaders face every day is balancing what’s good for the team with what works best for individual employees. After all, not everyone thinks the same way – even top performers. Their motivations differ, as do their work processes. Some are collaborators; others work best alone. Some are procrastinators; others thrive on a deadline. Some love a bustling work environment; others pull on headphones to block out the buzz.

But leaders can make it a goal to help all those diverse personalities find the “highest-performing version” of themselves. There are general changes you can enact in the workplace that can speak to the very specific needs of every member of your team. As a scientist who specializes in extreme human physiology, I have spent 15 years working with Olympic athletes. I suggest three things to inspire peak performance. Encourage breaks. This tip isn’t about running out for a quick cigarette. Quite the opposite. Office breaks can have a healthy bent – anything

from providing an hour of tai chi instruction to offering a tranquil garden setting for quiet reflection. Make sure you take some time to break the stress cycle and allow people to rest, recover and regenerate. Doing this exercise not only helps them perform better in the moment, but it also recharges the body and brain to stay healthy over the long-term. Walking is especially powerful as it has been shown to improve creativity. Exercise in nature, such as going for a walk in the park has been shown to improve problem solving. Creativity and problem solving are essential for success in today’s work environment, so moving breaks can be very helpful for you and your teams. Remove distractions. Being mindful is the key to success in any discipline, be it music, sports, drama, or business. Yet we live in the age of distraction. Emails, social media, text messages and YouTube compete for our attention, not to mention the job we’re supposed to be doing. Athletes, who are able to stay on task despite pressure and distrac-

tions, perform to their potential. Those who fail to ignore the distractions make mistakes or don’t perform to expectations. Your team can start by turning off the electronic noise for an hour at a time. Or try “singletasking.” Ask them to choose their most important task to work on first and to perform that task as exclusively as possible. I’m a huge fan of Robin Sharma’s 90:90:1 principle – for 90 days, take the first 90 minutes of each day to work on your life’s most important work. Try that tactic out, and you’ll be amazed at the exponential gains you make in your life and career. Focus on “micro-improvements.” One of the best approaches I’ve seen for turning good into great is focusing on 1-percent gains. What sets elite athletes apart from the pack is a commitment to being just a little bit better each day. A 1-percent change might not seem like much, but small improvements in the way you live each day will amplify your life. One percent of your day is 15 minutes, and 15 minutes of exercise can re-

duce your risk of breast and colon cancer from 24-40 percent. The micro changes add up over time and can have a powerful effect on your health and performance. Of course, workers are notoriously averse to change – whether they’re in an office, a factory or behind the counter at a fast-food restaurant. But with positivity and patience, I believe my suggestions should be an easy sell. Each employee will benefit in their own way, but the end result will be a more engaged and more productive group. Dr. Greg Wells is an authority on high performance and human physiology. Wells’ latest book, “The Ripple Effect: Eat, Sleep, Move and Think Better,” hit shelves earlier this year. Wells is an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Toronto where he studies elite sport performance. He also serves as an associate scientist of translational medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children, where he leads the Exercise Medicine Research Program.

A personal injury primer

Morton J. Grabel, Attorney at Law SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

If someone injured you through their negligence in driving a vehicle, you may have rights under the law. You want to protect those rights so you don’t end up paying for someone else’s careless driving. Here are the top 10 reasons why hiring an experienced attorney will help protect your rights. First, you have only a limited time to sue. In California, the statute of limi-

tations for filing an accident claim is limited. If you don’t sue within a specific time, you give up your right to sue forever. You will need to comply with certain rules to sue. An experienced attorney who handles personal injury matters will be familiar with the laws and can help you make sure you don’t do anything that jeopardizes your rights. Your insurance company may have a different agenda. Generally insurance companies aim to protect their insured and to compensate fairly for damages. However, insurance companies also aim to keep expenses down. Since your agenda and your insurance company’s agenda may not align, hiring an attorney can be the best way to insure you have an advocate on your side. You may not fully understand all of your potential damages. There are various potential damages available when injured in a car accident. In addition to medical

bills, you may be able to recover for lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress and possibly for your spouse or family members. Proving liability can be complex. Even with favorable witnesses and a police report, proving there was negligence and that a legal duty of care was breached still may be difficult. There are many elements that go into winning a personal injury lawsuit, you should hire an attorney who understands the law and can support your position with proper case law and citations. The laws differ from state to state. Auto insurance and auto accident rules are decided by each individual jurisdiction. An experienced attorney in California can explain the nuances of the laws here, so you will understand your rights. You need to understand settlement options. Most cases settle out of court, which means the defendant or his insurance company is likely to make you an offer. Your attorney

can help you understand the implications of accepting the offer; because once you settle, you give up your right to sue forever. Filing a lawsuit requires adhering to complex rules. If you decide to sue, you will have to file the correct papers in the right court. This filing is not simple; complex rules exist on everything from the font size of the brief to how legal precedent is cited and what evidence is admissible. Proving your case is even more complex. Just as filing your case is complex, proving your case is more difficult. You may be permitted to “discover” certain information from the other side through a detailed process and set of rules, and you may be limited in the types of witnesses and evidence you present. There are even restrictions on the kind of questions and phrasing of questions you may ask in court. Furthermore, extensive legal research is often required to prove your case.

If you don’t hire an attorney, you could be faced with financial loss. If you don’t sue in time or if you don’t sue for the right damages or if you sue the wrong defendants or if you lose your case, you will be barred from ever suing for the accident again. It means you will have eliminated your only chance for recovery, and you may be stuck with all the costs and bills as a result of the accident that someone else carelessly caused. Please note, the information provided herein is general and not to be relied upon for your circumstance or case. For further information or if you have any legal questions, please call the Law Office of Morton J. Grabel, in Temecula at (951) 695-7700.

Altura Credit Union launches rewards credit card, mobile app for managing cards RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union has launched its own branded rewards credit card, the Uphora card, pronounced “euphora.” To make managing the Uphora and other Altura credit and debit cards easier, Altura also introduced MobiMoney, a free mobile app that enables customizing card usage. With their new rewards card, Altura members can earn rewards points for purchases made with the Uphora Mastercard. Those points can be redeemed online or in stores for merchandise, gift cards or travel. “With the Uphora Mastercard, people don’t have to save up their reward points for big ticket items,

although they still can. But instead can use the points to purchase everyday things quickly and easily using your Uphora card,” Robert Whitton, Altura chief operating officer, said. “As a Mastercard Rewards card, Uphora offers one of the most flexible rewards programs available today. Mastercard Pay with Rewards lets Altura cardholders use their points for whatever they want at millions of eligible locations around the world.” As part of its introductory launch, Altura cardholders who spend $2,000 in the first 90 days will earn 20,000 reward points to redeem as they want. The Uphora rewards card allows

cardholders to pay part or all of a purchase with points anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Altura’s card also offers rates as low as 12.74 percent, 24/7 fraud protection tracking, access to credit account rewards from Altura’s mobile banking app, account alerts to help users manage their credit card usage, free monthly credit score on mobile banking, auto rental coverage for damage, collision and theft and extended warranty coverage. The new MobiMoney mobile app gives credit and debit card users more control over their card usage. Once a credit card is linked to the app, Altura members can receive instant alerts based on per-

sonal preferences, store receipts on the phone and organize receipts into personal or business options. MobiMoney also helps protect against fraudulent transactions by allowing the cardholder to restrict purchases by location, merchant, transaction type and amount of purchase. Plus if the credit or debit card is lost or stolen, a cardholder can use the app to disable the card. “At Altura, we are always looking for ways to assist our members in managing their finances, and some of these ways include new technologies that offer a whole new level of convenience, too,” Whitton said. Based in the Inland Empire for

60 years, Altura Credit Union serves 117,250 members, has $1.2 billion in total assets and operates 13 branch offices in Riverside County. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Riverside and San Diego counties; selected cities in San Bernardino and Orange counties; as well as U.S. military, U.S. government and civilian employees working at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County; and retirees of the U.S. Armed Forces. For more details about Uphora or MobiMoney, visit www. AlturaCU.com or call member services at (888) 883-7228.

Respite Resource Network. It encourages better health for everyone. Family caregivers tend to forego their personal health for the sake of their loved ones, ultimately leading to increased illness. Respite care can help you stay healthy by giving you more time to rest or exercise. Even if it’s just four hours per week, 64 percent of family caregivers reported improved physical health, while 78 percent claimed better emotional health as a result of respite care. Retain closer family ties.

When relatives act as caregivers, they can often lose sight of the wellbeing of their entire family. Respite care has been shown to improve the bond between family members both healthy and in-need. More often than not, the lack of respite care will lead to out-of-home assisted living, which may not be the best solution

for your loved one. Allowing yourself the freedom to be a member of your family instead of a professional caregiver, even for just a few hours a week, can offer a better perspective on your situation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to take a break, including family caregivers. It is OK to want time to

yourself, and respite care can provide the support needed to keep you and your loved ones healthy and happy. This article is provided by Christine and John Hamby, owners of FirstLight Home Care of Temecula. For more information, visit www. Temecula.FirstLightHomeCare.com or call (951) 395-0821.

while your loved ones are cared for at the same time. Respite care helps decrease stress. From physical, emotional and financial stress, caregiving can be tough, especially if you’re juggling work and family at the same time. Respite care can help you rest and relax when you need it most. In fact, 98 percent of family caregivers said the service increased their ability to provide a less stressful environment at home, according to the Oklahoma

Children fought with all their might to pull the other team during a tug of war contest during Menifee’s sixth annual family campout held at La Ladera Park. Then, with sore arms, they went up against their parents.

Families scurried around for a scavenger hunt, which had them collect various items throughout the camp site during Menifee’s sixth annual family campout held at La Ladera Park. One of the challenges involved taking a picture in front of a fire pit.

‘Garlic and Gunpowder’ a smash hit at first cast and crew screening Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The cast and crew screening for Entertainment Factory LLC’s star-studded “Garlic and Gunpowder,” the first feature film shot on location in Temecula, was held July 6 at the famous TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood. More than 200 people were invited for the red carpet event and lauded the entertaining film. The action-comedy was director B Harrison Smith’s first foray into the world of comedy, after having proven his skills in the horror genre

gether a convoy to move their cash, art, gold and jewels out of the city into mines. Aging low-level gangsters and childhood friends, Sonny (Steven Chase) and Archie (James Duval) are employed by 300-pound cigarchomping mob boss and drug lord “Ma” (Felissa Rose) to shake down local businesses for “insurance protection.” Ma learns of the secret convoy and makes plans with Sonny and Archie to hijack it. The interplay between Chase (“Shut Up and Kiss Me,” “How Sweet It Is”) and Duval (“Donnie Darko,” “Independence Day”) is

(“Death House,” “Camp Dread” among many others). His inaugural effort was a success, featuring beginning to end laughter and raucous laugh out loud belly laughs. The opening animated credits to “Garlic and Gunpowder” mimicked a James Bond theme. The early scenes established the dramatic tension well. The movie begins with newscaster Lauren Krause (”Veronica Mars”) reporting a comet streaking toward earth, portending an impending apocalypse. Prompted by the potential cataclysm, the wealthy elite of Big City put to-

The action comedy feature film was shot on location in Paul Bandong photos Temecula.

both comedic and familiar as only life-long friends could do. The multi-talented Chase is also coowner of Entertainment Factory, LLC and co-producer of this film. The transformation of normally curvaceous and vivacious Rose (“Sleepaway Camp,” “The Perfect House”) into the overweight and obnoxious Ma shows off her acting versatility. Ma’s son and daughter, played by Bradley Joseph (“Veronica Mars,” “A Cinderella Story”) and Alex Lowery (“Shake It Up”) discover a scheme by Big City Mayor Brown (Vivica A. Fox) and Chinese mob kingpin Barry Ling (Clint Jung) to hijack the convoy. Actor/producer Jung (“Music Within,” “Jobs,” “Ray Donovan”) was quite believable as an imposing and dangerous Chinese Mafia boss and could play the role in a serious dramatic action film. Two FBI agents’ (Dean McDermott as Agent Bean and Martin Kove as Agent Tracey) learn of Ma’s intention to hijack the convoy and plot “Operation ‘Garlic and Gunpowder’” to capture Ma and rival Barry Ling. The bumbling agents planned to use the heroic capture of the two bosses as a cover to lift some cash for themselves. Their “you did, no I didn’t” scene was classic old-school comedy. Actor/producer McDermott is known for “Open Range,” “Chopped Canada” and “Tori & Dean: In Love” among nearly 100 film/TV roles. Kove, who has been in 100 film and TV roles, is most recognizable for his roles as the villain Sensei Kreese in the “Karate Kid” movie franchise. Former mafia moll and now roller-blading, garlic-eating fitness nut, Evvy Hancock (Judy Tenuta), masterfully plays a pivotal role in the FBI plot and stole many scenes with both dialog delivery and physical slapstick comedy. She began her career as Margo Thorness in “Material Girls” in 2006. Realizing the uncertainty of their future usefulness to Ma and Sonny’s desire to settle down with a nice girl, Archie and Sonny plan a double-cross heist of the cash-filled convoy. They enlist the help of two hot babes (soap opera actress/writer/producer Lindsey Hartley as Rachel and up-andcoming actress/model/comedienne Lauren Compton as Jennifer), a one-handed clown (Chris Coppola from “Polar Express,” “Spawn” and “Beowulf”) and an amateur boxer (Angel Anthony Marrero). The ensuing convoy scene is replete with a staged catfight between scantily-clad Hartley and Compton, a shoot-out and an exploding suitcase. The action comedy entertains old-school style, without modern computer-generated images, and is, in the words of director Smith, “a mix of ‘It’s a Mad, Mad World,’ ‘Caddyshack’ and ‘Cannonball Run.’ It’s light-hearted, goofy and slapstick.” “I personally found the film to be hilarious,” Chase said. “The convoy scene was my favorite.” “Harrison takes us back to a Mel Brooks’ style of humor that is very relatable and entertaining,” said Rose. The star-studded cast included Vivica A. Fox who played Big City’s Mayor Brown. The film also included stars Lainie Kazan (“My Favorite Year,” “Beaches,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”), Katherine Kelly Lang (“The Bold

and the Beautiful”), Angelo Pagán (“Swordfish,” “Dance With Me,” “Almost a Woman,” “Leah Remini: It’s All Relative”), Michael Madsen (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Kill Bill,” Vols I and II, “Donnie Brasco,” “Thelma & Louise,” “Free Willy”), Tiffany Shepis (“Abominable,” “The Hazing,” “Sharknado 2”), actress/ composer Victoria Summer (“Saving Mr. Banks,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction”), Teck Holmes, Jack Betts (“Guiding Light,” “One Life to Live,” “Spiderman”), Jill Bartlett, Judith Scarpone (“Harriett: The Musical,” “Deep Down” and “The Twilight of the Golds”) and many others. Summer, who played lounge singer Kitty, wrote and performed a song she wrote for the film, “They Call Her Kitty.” Pagan’s improvisational dialogue as “Rey” the Hispanic Meth dealer added to the screwball comedy. Much of the feature film was shot in the Temecula Valley and locals will recognize Temecula City Hall, Filippi’s restaurant, the Duck Pond, Maurice Car’rie Winery, Spindles Music Shack and perhaps the desolate road in Menifee used for the convoy shoot. Many of the studio scenes were shot at Hollywood South Studios in Murrieta. “Being in Temecula was definitely important to our collaboration,” Rose, who was also an associate producer for the film, said. “It was a beautiful backdrop and being together for the month away from our homes, brought us all closer together as a family. That’s the type of environment that Harrison and Entertainment Factory, LLC try to foster.” Chase agreed. “There are a lot of great restaurants out here and we were able to spend a lot of off-screen time together as a cast and a crew,” he said. “We became very tight quickly and everyone cared about the film. It’s not a cookie-cutter comedy and everyone shines in it. We’re looking forward to coming back.” Smith said it was “like shooting in your own hometown.” “Everyone was so kind and friendly and people and businesses opened their doors to us. One woman even baked cookies for us,” Smith explained. “This is like the Poconos were 20 years ago. There are so many great shooting locations and beautiful backdrops. Temecula is California’s best kept secret. In 10 years this place will blow up from all the interest. Better get a foothold now.” “Being together as a cast and crew in Temecula kept us in the zone,” Producer Rick Finkelstein said. “We were able to develop that family element in days not weeks. And Temecula is great – everyone treats you well and they don’t all have their hands out. We had everything we needed and wanted in order to make a film here. I need to give a shoutout to Bonnie Lowell from Film Temecula Valley who guided us and made everything work smoothly and to Mayor Maryann Edwards who was so genuine and welcoming. I love it here and we’ll be back soon.” The Entertainment Factory, LLC, owned by Finkelstein and Chase, returns to Temecula in the fall to shoot “Stan the Man,” a feel-good romance story. This will be Chase’s directorial debut. “Garlic and Gunpowder” will be in hundreds of theatres around the country this fall. The film is rated “R.”

Off-Road Nights Dirt Lifestyle Festival offers something for everyone Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Off-Road Nights Dirt Lifestyle Festival is happening once again at the Promenade Mall in Temecula Saturday, Aug. 4. And there are lots of new and exciting things happening this year, says event director Rat Sult, including the event’s very first raffle and expanded entertainment. The festival offers something for everyone. It features vendors, live entertainment, exhibits and many other attractions. Sult said this year, there will be around 100 off-road industry vendors. One of the event’s main attractions is a car show contest, in which all kinds of off-roaders are shown off and judged against one another. “Everything from sand cars to full-blown off-road race cars and all the fun toys in between,” Sult said. For 2017, Sult said awards have been stepped up – custom alumi-

num awards will be presented to contest winners. Some of the awards go to the best off-road driver of the year and even the best off-road couple of the year. There’s also live music and demos every hour, featuring the 4 Wheel Parts Car Crush and the FITZ Army Freestyle motocross team jumping over the Coors Light main stage. Children aren’t left out, either. There’s a kid zone complete with squirt gunfights and a jump house. “We’ve got something for the littlest kids with the little jumper houses, all the way up to the big

boys and all the toys with the freestyle motocross,” Sult said. The event is really for the whole family, he says. “That’s what I always push, that’s what this whole event’s all about: our whole off-road family,” Sult said. “It’s about the kids and bringing out everybody. The festival also includes the Miss Off-Road Nights competition. All Miss ORN contestants work in the off-road industry. “They work, they race. Last year’s Miss Off-Road Nights can’t even make it because she’s got a race that night,” Sult said.

The festival gets bigger and bigger every year, Sult said. Originally held in Old Town, it quickly outgrew that setting and is now in its third year at the Promenade. “It just doubles in size every year with our vendors and our entertainment,” Sult said. “It’s just a gathering of the offroad industry and the off-road fam-

ily, so it’s pretty cool just to bring the community and the industry all together, come hang out, have a big party and get to meet everybody and mingle.” It’s a family-oriented event you sure won’t want to miss.

Marinades are a great flavor enhancer TEMECULA – With their mix of acidic ingredients and spices, marinades add flavor and may even pack some nutritional punch. Grilled foods boast inviting flavors that put many diners on the lookout for second helpings. Quite often the magic behind grilled meals lies in the marinade used to give foods that flavorful kick. Marinades can be used to enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables and poultry. While marinades add flavor, they also may be responsible for some other benefits in grilled foods. Defined as a savory acidic sauce in which food is soaked to enrich its flavor, a marinade help break down tough fiber and tenderize the food. The base of many marinades is made from vinegar, lemon juice or wine and enhanced with spices, oil and herbs. It’s important not to let foods sit in marinades for too long, as any alcohol, acid or salt in the mixture can chemically “cook” the food, in a process known as “denaturing.” Adhere to timing recommendations when using store-bought marinades and keep such guidelines in mind when using homemade marinades as well. Many marinades tell home

The timing of marinade use also will depend on the foods being marinated. Delicate items, such as seafood, may change with regard to texture or color in a matter of minutes.

marinating meat in antioxidantrich spice blends can reduce the risk of forming heterocyclic amines, or HCAs, by more than 80 percent. HCAs are harmful, cancer-causing compounds that form when food chars over an open flame at high temperatures. Marinades must be rich in spices to have any HCA-busting properties. Marinades are a secret weapon in the creation of tasty, tender and healthy foods. They come in quite handy when grilling and add an extra dose of flavor when cooking over high heat.

Lake Elsinore Clean Team strives to inspire the community Michelle Rivas VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Lake Elsinore Clean Team is making a difference, one Lake Elsinore neighborhood at a time. The Lake Elsinore Clean Team is a program launched in the city of Lake Elsinore to tackle the problem of littering and illegal dumping and to maintain a beautiful and clean community. The Clean Lake Elsinore Team was launched late last year and is currently seeking volunteers to come help clean up the community’s roadways, parks, shopping centers and alleyways. Nicole Dailey, senior management analyst with the city manager’s office, is helping manage the Lake Elsinore Clean Team on behalf of the city of Lake Elsinore and in coordination with Western Riverside Council of Governments, and she explained the inspiration behind creating the program. “Last year, the city started to hear from our community that they were concerned about trash and illegal dumping in and around our city,” Dailey said. “As a result, we began to look at ways to address this and established a Litter and Illegal Dumping Council Subcommittee. In the meantime, we were approached by the Western Riverside Council of Governments regarding what we were doing in the city. WRCOG shared that it seemed many of their 16-member cities were experiencing similar concerns and wanted to work with the city of Lake Elsinore on a pilot project to use as a model for other regional cities in the future. Together, we developed the concept, messaging and action items for ‘Clean LE: Love Where You Live.’” The Lake Elsinore Clean Team strives to inspire the community to take an active role in being more environmentally-friendly and aware on a daily basis. “You can help make the community a better place on a day-to-

day basis,” Dailey said. “This can be by volunteering for an official clean up event, picking up trash on your own while out and about in our community, reporting illegal dumping or just signing our pledge to do more to keep the community clean by not littering – intentional or unintentional, i.e., creating a greater awareness for what it takes to keep the city clean.” Dailey also went on to further explain why this program is beneficial for the city of Lake Elsinore and its residents. “Recognition that our city is our home and we should treat it the same we would our house, car or any other possession we hold dearly,” Dailey said. “Hence, ‘Love Where You Live.’ Our hope is to inspire our community to love where they live and to take an active role in keeping the city of Lake Elsinore clean, beautiful and litter-free.” To volunteer for the Lake Elsinore Clean Team, residents can sign up at www.lake-elsinore.org/ cleanlevolunteer. By signing up online, residents will be notified by the city of upcoming clean up events. No commitment is necessary. All cleanups will take place on sidewalk areas; volunteers will be reminded to use crosswalks to cross all roadways. City staff will be present at every event to monitor, provide water and ensure the safety of the volunteers. Appropriate safety signage will also be posted. All volunteers will be broken up into small groups to clean up key areas in order of priority and based on the number of participants. More litter pick up events for the Clean Lake Elsinore Team are scheduled Wednesday, Aug. 2, Tuesday, Aug. 8 and Wednesday, Aug. 16.

Residents of Lake Elsinore are being encouraged to help keep the city clean of litter. Families can volunteer at pick up events for the new Lake Elsinore Clean Team in August. Courtesy photos

How home sellers set their asking price takes good judgment Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing they see. As a result, many homes may not be shown because they are discarded by prospective buyers for not being in the appropriate price range. When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Your asking price is often your home’s first impression, and if you want to realize the most money you can from your home’s sale, it is imperative that you make a good first impression. Because it is not as easy as it sounds, your pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a home seller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and this step on its own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. I will try to help you understand some important factors about pricing strategy that will help you not only sell your home, but help you sell it for the price you want. First, pricing strategy starts with good information. For sellers, before you can begin to know what your home is worth, you should do some research, bearing in mind that an analysis of what homes have recently sold for in your neighborhood is not enough to help you properly price your home. A quick scan up and down the street at the prices of homes that have recently sold will give you a starting point. However, this reference point is not nearly enough for you to base your entire pricing strategy on. It is important for you to understand how buyers look for a home. Think about how you

conducted your house hunting search to find the home you are now thinking of selling. You most likely did not confine your search to a single neighborhood, but perhaps different neighborhoods or towns in order to find a home that best matched your needs and desires. The prospective buyers who will be viewing your home will conduct their searches in a similar manner. It means they will be comparing your home to, for example, brand-new development homes and homes more than 20 years old, etc. They will also consider locations, such as homes in established neighborhoods, in the middle of town, in the suburbs or in country estate properties. Each

home will have a different look and feel, and it’s quite possible that a prospective buyer might consider all of these variables in the search for a home. You can see that when you’re selling your home, you’re not just competing with the home around the corner, but also with all homes in other areas which have the same basic characteristics, i.e., the number of rooms, overall living space, etc. For buyers, for you to understand how much to offer for a home you’re interested in, it’s important for you to know how sellers price their homes. Here are four common strategies you’ll start to recognize when you begin to view homes.

When a home is clearly overpriced. Every seller wants to realize the most amount of money they can for their home, and real estate agents know this fact. If more than one agent is competing for your listing, an easy way to win the battle is to over-inflate the value of your home. It is done far too often, with many homes that are priced 10- 20 percent over their true market value. This strategy is not in their best interest, because in most cases the market won’t be fooled. As a result, the home could languish on the market for months, leaving sellers with a couple of important drawbacks. Your home is likely to be labeled as a “troubled” house by other agents, leading to a lower than fair market price when an offer is finally made. You have been greatly inconvenienced with having to constantly have your home in “showing” condition for nothing. These homes often expire off the market, forcing you to go through the listing process all over again. When a home is somewhat overpriced. About three-quarters of the homes on the market are 5-10 percent overpriced. These homes will also sit on the market longer than they should. There is usually one of two factors at play here: either you believe in your heart that your home is really worth this much despite what the market has indicated – after all,

there’s a lot of emotion caught up in this issue, or you’ve left some room for negotiating. Either way, this strategy will cost you both in terms of time on the market and ultimate price received. A home priced correctly at market value. Some sellers understand that real estate is part of the capitalistic system of supply and demand and will carefully and realistically price their homes based on a thorough analysis of other homes on the market. These competitively priced homes usually sell within a reasonable time-frame and very close to the asking price. A home priced below the fair market value. Some sellers are motivated by a quick sale. These homes attract multiple offers and sell fast – usually in a few days – at, or above, the asking price. Be cautious that the agent suggesting this method is doing so with your best interest in mind.

What is a smart home?

Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – Refrigerators that inform their owners when it’s time to buy more eggs and thermostats that learn homeowners’ heating and cooling preferences may once have

seemed like futuristic ideas straight out of a sci-fi movie. However, such products are no longer a dream but a reality. The term “smart home” refers to

a residence that has appliances, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, lighting, entertainment systems, security and many more devices that communicate with one another. Such devices can be controlled remotely, according to SmartHomeUSA, an automation product retailer. Proponents of smart home technology have said the features can help people save money on utilities and conserve natural resources, all the while providing peace of mind to homeowners. In 2016, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide. That marks a 64 percent increase from 2015, according to the research data firm IHS Markit. The smart home trend is only expected to grow in coming years. Although there’s interest in smart home technology, the industry remains fragmented. Consumers are

trying to figure out which devices are simply fun and which provide practical benefits. Furthermore, the range of smart devices is expanding rapidly, making potential compatibility issues a concern. Companies that plan to educate consumers further about the advantages of smart home features and are open to standardization may have the best chances of survival. Those interested in dabbling in some smart home technology and testing the waters may want to start with the following household items. Manufacturers offer various types of smart light bulbs. Some are color-changing, others react to doorbells or alarms and others can simulate typical lighting patterns when homeowners are away. Integrated apps enable remote access to scheduling so people can arrive home to a well-lit house. Security systems are a good start.

Wi-Fi-enabled doorbells with video capabilities allow residents to see who is at the door without having to open it. Cameras can even be accessed remotely, simulating that someone is at home at all times. Never wonder if you’ve locked the door again with smart locks that can be engaged via a smartphone. Make sure that homes are secured or that pets are behaving while out with smart cameras. Get peace of mind against damaging floods with Wi-Fi flood sensors. A new breed of smart appliances can make it possible for users to turn on the washing machine while out of the house, close refrigerator doors from afar or even start their vacuum cleaners remotely. Smart technology is taking over the home, and it is likely to continue changing the way people live and work.

Millwork can add appeal and a classic feel work tends to be mass-produced commercial items. These low-cost items are interchangeable and may be widely available at retailers, including home improvement centers. Custom millwork is a product that is custom designed and produced for individuals and special building projects. Sometimes referred to as “architectural millwork,” these pieces may be more ornate and made-to-order. Homeowners who want to match a focal point of a home or an existing style often turn to custom millwork. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, ornate millwork was largely reserved for royalty or the very wealthy. Skilled carpenters would hand carve each piece, taking weeks to finish most projects. Eventually, millwork became more

TEMECULA – Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks. Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork. Used for both decoration and to increase the functionality of buildings, millwork comes in various types. Generally, millwork is fabricated in two ways. Stock mill-

commonplace. Distinguishing one property from another could mean turning back to the more distinctive designs of the past. Homeowners looking for ways to enhance their properties can embrace millwork to achieve a luxury feel without a sizable investment. The first step is to choose millwork that will coordinate with the era and style of a home’s existing decor. Ornate millwork in an overly modern house may seem out of place. The millwork should match the architectural theme of the home. Although some do-it-yourselfers can successfully install prefabricated millwork, for custom designs and a truly seamless look, it is important to have millwork professionally installed. Individuals should research carpenters who

specialize in millwork and verify their license and reputation through a consumer protection agency. Popular types of millwork include crown molding, corbels, wainscoting and custom bookcases. Homeowners may not realize that millwork can be added to spaces of all sizes to give them an air of sophistication. Although millwork was traditionally formed from hardwoods, eco-friendly homeowners can now find millwork crafted from synthetic materials and even reclaimed woods. Millwork can add that special touch to the interior or exterior of a home. Learn more by visiting www.worldmillworkalliance.com.

Architectural millwork can be seen in many areas of a home, including kitchens. Courtesy photo

Western Riverside County updates its fee collection program for transportation improvements RIVERSIDE – The Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee program, administered by the Western Riverside Council of Governments, collects fees in western Riverside County to ensure development pays its fair share for needed transportation and transit improvements that will support the region’s continued growth.

Electric shock drowning: the invisible danger to swimmers, boaters Paul Netter SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Boating. Lakes. Rivers. There are likely no better words to those enjoying the water while beating the heat this summer. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters and Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters won’t instantly ring the same bell for many, but they should to dock, marina and boat owners. The reason? Their ability to safely protect swimmers in freshwater lakes, ponds or rivers from a little known and invisible danger known as electric shock drowning. Two of these drowning incidents, which occur when leaking voltage from a boat, dock or marina incapacitates nearby swimmers, happened recently in New Jersey and Ohio. There are few, if any, reliable statistics since electricity usually isn’t considered in most drowning incidents. “Unfortunately, many people don’t become aware of these dangers until there’s a tragedy,” Andrew S. Martinez, Southern California Edison’s vice president

of Safety, Security and Business Resiliency, said. To prevent electric shock drowning incidents, safety experts recommend annual inspections of docks, marinas and boats by American Boat and Yacht Council-certified marine electricians as well as the installation of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters on all marinas and docks and Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters on all boats. People should also exercise caution while swimming around docks and marinas equipped with electricity and running boats. “Both devices are designed and equipped to safely keep electricity out of the water,” Martinez said. Electric shock drowning incidents are more common in freshwater. Why? Though electric shock drowning can occur in salt water, the risks are lower because salt water has high conductivity and low resistance – meaning the leaking current usually goes around a human body to stay in low-resistant water. In freshwater, however, with its low conductivity and high resis-

tance, the body conducts electricity better than the water itself. Only 10 milliamps, or 1/50th of the amount used by a 60-watt light bulb, can cause paralysis and drowning, according to the Electric Safety Foundation International. Water and electricity simply don’t mix, something that would-be rescuers should heed as well. “If you think an electric shock drowning might be taking place, turn the power off, throw a life ring and call 911,” Martinez said. “Don’t enter the water.”

Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Fact Box: • Have boats, docks and marinas inspected annually by an American Boat and Yacht Council certified marine electrician. • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters should be installed on all docks and marinas. • Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters should be installed on all boats. • Test the circuit interrupters monthly, per the manufacturer’s specifications. • If you suspect an electric shock drowning, turn off all power, but never enter the water.

Journalists should aspire to be truthful, accurate, accountable and transparent Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

I just picked up my new copy of the 2017 “The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law,” otherwise known as a journalist’s Bible. Once I got back to my desk, I immediately flipped the book open to see if there were any changes in the “News Values” section. Nothing new there, just the same old stuff that the AP has been writing for years. In a world where journalists are under fire and the words “fake news” are thrown around by everyone from the casual reader to the president of the United States, I was looking for some pearls of wisdom, and while not much changed, I certainly found what I was looking for. The Associated Press statement of

news values and principles that starts off the chapter reminded me that if we are all doing our job correctly we should have nothing to worry about. You see for over 170 years the AP has brought “news and information to the world,” and their standards, which I adhere to faithfully, ensure that I don’t have to worry about being labeled “fake news” or biased. Insisting on high standards of integrity and ethical behavior when we report the news protects us from those faux paus such as inaccuracies, bias or distortions. In the words of The Associated Press, “It means we will not knowingly introduce false information into material intended for publication or broadcast; nor will we alter photo or image content. Quotations must be accurate, and precise.” We always identify all our sourc-

es, though on rare occasions we do provide anonymity to protect our sources, depending on the situation. Those sources are always reliable and knowledgeable as the AP Stylebook tells us they should be. We don’t plagiarize, and heaven help the reporter that turns in plagiarized material to me. We don’t misidentify ourselves to get a story, we avoid behavior and activities that create a conflict of interest or compromise our ability to report the news fairly and accurately. We don’t pay for interviews or to take photos of people in the news. Most importantly, we are fair. We always make an honest effort to tell both sides of a story, we ask for comment from those who are affected by the story we are reporting. We correct our mistakes when we learn of them and every reporter

working for Reeder Media adheres to these rules. If a reader questions anything published in Valley News, Village News or Anza Valley Outlook. We launch an investigation and handle the situation appropriately. While we are not perfect, we strive to give you, the reader, the best and most accurate in local news and information and we take that privilege of being your go-to source seriously. Our goals are the same as they were when Reeder Media began with Fallbrook’s Village News in 1997: to provide news and information to local communities in a fair and balanced manner with journalistic integrity and to be the bridge of communication for local communities between businesses, cities, organizations and residents.

The way I see it, while Reeder Media is just a little bit younger than the AP, our objectives are the same, to be the leading local source of news and information for all our readers. With over 200 awards for journalistic excellence from the likes of the San Diego Press Club, the Society of Professional Journalists and a wide variety of local chambers of commerce, nonprofit organizations and civic associations, I would have to say we do pretty darn well on that front. So, while there was nothing new in the “News Values” section of the 2017 edition of “The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law,” what I found there was a great reminder of what all journalists should aspire to be: truthful, accurate, accountable and transparent. But hey, it’s only my opinion.

of Equalization, last week’s capand-trade vote to extend the program’s expiration date from 2020 to 2030 was rushed through with little debate or input from those most affected, including California’s small businesses. Large enterprises can increase their products’ costs to cover the fees, but smaller companies aren’t able to cope as easily. For example, cap-and-trade fees may eventually increase gasoline prices as much as 90 cents per gallon, literally driving

up the cost of everything, including shipping costs and fuel surcharges on the goods we purchase. These costs will be added to the 12 - 20 cents per gallon gas and diesel tax going into effect this November. On the other hand, smaller businesses will see out-of-state and foreign competitors that don’t have to worry about cap-and-trade undercut their prices, forcing them into bankruptcy or out of California. Regrettably, California’s small businesses and its hard-working

taxpayers, many with the least ability to pay, will be saddled with years of massive tax increases as a result of last week’s cap-and-trade vote. Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Hold on to your wallet Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As your Assemblywoman, I oppose tax increases, which is why I voted against extending cap-andtrade, a huge regressive tax on the working men and women of this state. Though cap-and-trade fees generate billions for California’s general fund, there is little evidence of any positive environmental impact.

Under the program, caps are placed on greenhouse gas emissions by industries, such as oil refineries and energy producers, which pay fees on emissions that exceed those caps. Though the intent is to create incentives for industry to invest in new and cleaner technologies, the fees are usually passed through, largely removing the incentives by forcing consumers to pay the additional costs. Like the recent gas tax increase and extensive changes to the Board

Destructive fire in Wildomar blamed on butane honey oil explosion WILDOMAR – A fire that left one person injured, destroyed a home and damaged another in Wildomar Wednesday, July 19, was likely triggered by a butane gas explosion ignited during the illegal production of the marijuana derivative known as “honey oil,” authorities said. “There were all sorts of indicators after we arrived that pointed to a butane honey oil lab at the location,” Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Vasquez said. The blaze in the 33600 block of Harvest Way, near Cornstalk Road, was reported at 4 a.m. According to county fire officials,

a 1,200-square-foot modular home was consumed by the flames, and a neighboring single-story residence was moderately damaged. A man residing in the first property suffered minor to moderate burns and is undergoing treatment at a hospital, according to Vasquez. Reports from the scene indicated butane gas canisters were scattered throughout the street and the yard fronting the property where the blaze erupted. About 30 personnel spent nearly an hour battling the flames before they were fully contained, according to a fire department spokeswoman. She said American Red Cross

workers were summoned to assist the three occupants displaced after the modular home was destroyed. Three adults and a child from the second property were also provided assistance with temporary lodgings. Vasquez said deputies detained the occupants of the home where the fire originated, but no arrests were made. The conflagration came one day after the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office released a series of public service announcements warning of the perils of butane honey oil production. The videos feature Alex Gonzales and his girlfriend Selina Cervantes,

both of whom were severely burned in a butane honey oil blaze at a Palm Springs motel in February 2015. Cervantes suffered second- and third-degree burns to 97 percent of her body and was permanently disfigured. Gonzales, who was convicted of felony charges, admitted to sitting in the motel bathroom, repeatedly emptying butane cans to extract liquid from marijuana plants. He said he had no explanation for the detonation that ignited the fire but guessed that it could have been something as simple as sliding his shoe across the floor and creating a heat source.

“People need to understand that the butane honey oil extraction process takes lives – it hurts people forever,” District Attorney Mike Hestrin said. “We want to put an end to the manufacture of butane honey oil.” Drug lab operators use butane to extract tincture from cannabis plants. The product, often referred to as “wax” or “hash,” can be mixed with anything and bottled. Butane honey oil labs have sprung up in both remote and heavily populated areas of the county. In the past few years, butane honey oil fires have erupted in Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Norco and Riverside.

Felon found guilty of lighting fires in Homeland RIVERSIDE – An ex-convict who ignited multiple fires over a 10-day span around Homeland was convicted Friday, July 21, of 14 counts of arson. After four days of deliberations, an eight-woman, four-man jury found 44- year-old Marco Antonio Aispuro guilty of perpetrating the fire series that began May 10, 2016, and ended with his arrest 10 days later. Along with the arson counts, jurors convicted Aispuro of sentenceenhancing allegations of using an incendiary device to start a fire and setting most of the fires within an area under a weather-related state of

emergency declared by the governor. Aispuro showed no reaction as the verdicts were read but did turn to look at family members gathered in the courtroom. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Eric Helgesen scheduled a pre-sentencing hearing for July 27 to discuss unresolved matters pending in the case. The prosecution and defense indicated they will request a sentencing hearing in October at the Riverside Hall of Justice. Aispuro is facing 147 years in state prison. He’s being held on $500,000 bail at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside.

According to prosecutors, Aispuro went on an arson spree that destroyed two sheds, significantly damaged two mobile homes, as well as a utility pole, and scorched land abutting several churches. According to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Melanie Deutsch, the defendant’s first target was the area of state Route 74 and Leon Road, where the sheds burned down. That same day, Aispuro set fire to vegetation along the SR 74 at Naumann Avenue, but county fire crews quickly knocked it down. Aispuro’s adult son resided near the location and encountered the defendant in his backyard, sparking a confrontation between the estranged pair, at the end of which the defendant ran away, according to the brief.

Aispuro later torched bushes around the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Homeland, along with vegetation near the Romoland Unified School District headquarters and Hemet Fence, in the 25900 block of Juniper Flats Road, Deutsch said. In each instance, county fire crews responded and doused the flames in under a half-hour. Aispuro ignited a spot fire at Juniper Flats Road and Oak Creek Drive, May 15, but again crews contained it within minutes. According to court papers, a cluster of fires were lit near the Community First Church of God on Homeland Avenue, damaging a detached garage. A mattress fire was set behind a residence on nearby Neer Street, the prosecution said.

None of the fires exceeded more than a couple of hundred square feet. Arson and sheriff’s investigators began collecting evidence at the outset of the arson series, with clues pointing to Aispuro. A key piece of evidence was a moniker – “2 hard’” – spray-painted on structures and other objects where the fires occurred. The defendant’s children attributed the moniker to him, prosecutors said. Shoe prints found at several locations were also matched to Aispuro, Deutsch said, and he was arrested without incident at his mother’s residence. According to court records, the defendant has prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, battery, auto theft and for making criminal threats.

Motorists killed in fiery collision identified LAKELAND VILLAGE – Authorities have released the names of two men killed in a fiery collision in Lakeland Village. Wayne Campbell, 64, of Lake Elsinore and William Bradehoft, 43, of Riverside were both pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 23, in the 18800 block of Grand Avenue, just north of Morrison Street.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Campbell was driving a 2006 Mercedes-Benz and pulled onto Grand to exit the American Legion Post 200 parking lot, just as Bradehoft was approaching on his 2005 Triumph motorcycle. CHP Officer Mike Lassig said Bradehoft was traveling “at a high rate of speed,” going southbound on Grand, and did not have time to slow down when Campbell’s Mercedes entered

the southbound lanes in the process of turning to go north on Grand. The motorcycle slammed into the front of the four-door vehicle, triggering a fire on impact, according to Lassig. He said the Mercedes spun into a fence, where it was consumed by flames. Riverside County firefighters arrived moments later and doused the blaze.

Child pulled unconscious from Elsinore pool LAKE ELSINORE – A child was rescued from a backyard pool in Lake Elsinore Thursday, July 20, after being submerged for a brief period. The near-drowning was reported about 4 p.m. at a two-story residence

on Corte Palazzo, near Corte Straza, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. An agency spokeswoman said paramedics treated the victim, whose name was not released, at the scene,

after which the youngster was taken in stable condition to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar for further treatment and evaluation. The circumstances were under investigation.

Lake Elsinore motorcyclist killed in Orange County crash LAKE ELSINORE – A Lake Elsinore man riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle – splitting lanes at a high rate of speed – was killed in a threevehicle crash on the Riverside Freeway state Route 91 in Orange County, authorities said Saturday, July 22. The motorcyclist was later identified as James Schafer, 63, according to the coroner’s office. The crash happened about 9:50

p.m. Friday, July 21, on the eastbound 91 freeway, east of Imperial Highway in Anaheim, the California Highway Patrol reported. Schafer, riding a 2012 Harley Davidson, was splitting lanes between the No. 1 and No. 2 lanes of traffic at a high speed, when he rear-ended a 2014 Toyota that was slowing for traffic, the CHP report said. The bike continued out of control and struck a

2014 Honda. Paramedics rushed Schafer to Orange County Global Medical Center in Santa Ana, where he died from his injuries at 10:45 p.m. Friday, according to the coroner’s office. No other injuries were reported. The California Highway Patrol’s Santa Ana office has asked anyone who saw the crash to call them at (714) 567-6000.
