Wildomar nonprofit honored with ‘Child and Family Advocate of the Year’ Award

Pictured from left to right at the Third Annual HOPE Awards in Riverside, June 3 are: Bob and Mona Davies, co-founders, Community Outreach Ministry, recipients of the 2016 Child and Family Advocate of the Year award for District 1; Dariana Ortiz, program manager, HOPE Collaborative; Courtesy photo and Carla Lidner Baum, chair of HOPE Collaborative.

WILDOMAR — The tireless work of a Wildomar-based nonprofit to brighten the futures of local at-risk youth, many whose parents are incarcerated, has not gone unnoticed

by HOPE Collaborative.

Bob and Mona Davies, co-founders of Community Outreach Ministry, were honored June 3 with the Child and Family Advocate of the Year Award from HOPE Collaborative, the child abuse council of Riverside County.

The award, which recognizes exemplary dedication and commitment to the youth of local communities, has been given annually since 2013 to a person or organization in each of Riverside County’s five supervisorial districts.

Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries nominated the Davies for this year’s District 1 award.

“I was honored to nominate Bob and Mona Davies for the 2016 HOPE Child and Advocate of the Year Award because they serve the needs of a very vulnerable and at-risk population of youth whose parents have been incarcerated,” Jeffries said.

Through Community Outreach Ministry, the Davies offer summer camps for these vulnerable youth.

They also provide year-round access to mentoring, and for the past several years have held Angel Tree Christmas parties, distributing gifts to more than 200 children.

“This population often goes undetected in the child welfare and education systems, putting them further at risk,” Jeffries said. “The resources Bob and Mona provide help to prevent these youth from entering the juvenile/criminal justice system by breaking the cycle of crime, poverty, illiteracy, violence, delinquency, school dropout and destructive behaviors which leads to a lower incidence of generational incarceration.”

More than 60 percent of the youth served by Community Outreach Ministry come from Lake Elsinore, which along with Wildomar, is part of the District 1.

“We feel richly rewarded as the First District recipient of the 2016 Child and Family Advocate of the Year Award presented by the HOPE

Collaborative and Riverside County board of supervisors,” the Davies said.

The award came on the heels of Mona Davies’ completion of her doctoral dissertation titled, “Breaking The Cycle of Incarceration: Stories of My Work as a Missionary to Children of Incarcerated Parents,” published by the United States Library of Congress.

“The model provides innovative programming for children of incarcerated parents, caregivers, and incarcerated parents to help break the cycle,” she said.

In May, “Breaking The Cycle of Incarceration” received the endorsement of Frank Lofaro, CEO of Washington, D.C.-based Prison Fellowship International, a global association with affiliates in over 120 countries whose mission is to focus on justice and reconciliation by promoting dignity and rehabilitation of offenders.

The Davies and Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree have been partners for 15 years caring, sharing and saving the lives of children of incarcerated parents in Riverside County.

The Davies accepted their award as part of the Third Annual HOPE Awards dinner held in Riverside.

“Something very powerful happens when someone goes above and beyond to help others, especially our youth,” HOPE Collaborative representatives stated in a letter announcing their selection as the award recipients. “This compassion and dedication multiplies the strength of service and the end result is lives being changed and impacted.”

ARTS from page A-1 of foot coordination and an ear for rhythm or at least the knack to learn, the dance division offers classes of different styles as well as an openness for new ideas of performance.

The music division affords local instrumentalists and vocalists the chance to perform for both large and small gatherings – from private presentations to large events such as the annual “Menifee’s Got Talent,” where musicians of all ages come together and share their flair for melody.

If you have an inspiration to reach out from the stage and connect with your audience through the animated acts of comical or tragically touching demonstrations, perhaps the theater arts department is right for you. A desire to weave a fantastic fable through careful construction of nouns and verbs between the alluring lines of a blank sheet of paper may lead you to the literary arts. Fellow authors can be found, assembled to plan activities and share in their mutual appreciation, at the Sun City Library on the first Wednesday of each month from 5 to 6 p.m.

The unique skill of some to view a canvas as a window to a magical world of limitless possibility and to capture that moving realm in a motionless drawing, photograph or painting has brought many to a suitable niche in the visual arts division.

Meet other imaginative minds in your community and expand your connection with your peers. Explore the opportunities to share and sell your artwork through local venues such as the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center and the U.S. Bank in Sun City. The frequent Gallery Receptions sanction further promotion to illustrators and their artwork, held at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center.

The center is also the location of the Visual Arts Committee meetings from 12-2 p.m. every third Thursday of the month.

Earlier this year, the Arts Council Menifee sponsored the fifth annual Arts Showcase at the Countryside Marketplace. Artists of all ages and spectators, both local and from surrounding areas, assembled together.

A gathering filled with music and good fun, participants shared in their craftsmanship and entertainment. Some put on performances for dance and singing, others laid out their crafts and canvased artwork, while many came to share in the accomplishments of the artists.

The Arts Showcase is a great way to promote your own artwork, show support to others’ originality and an excellent place for a good natured family outing.

Linda Morrison, co-chair and trustee for the Visual Arts Division, truly believes in the Arts Council’s motto: “Bringing the arts to Menifee and local artists to the public.”

Morrison says, “We believe the arts are essential to the life of the community. It is the mission of the Arts Council of Menifee to support and expand the opportunities for diverse artistic expression. We are providing quality programs and events in all facets of the arts.” Linda feels that all of the divisions are vital to the cohesion of the arts but states, “My primary involvement is with the Visual Arts Division. After leaving my corporate position in 2008, I resumed my passion for painting and began painting in oils. Presently I enjoy all mediums. I have a very diverse style. I paint whatever moves me from landscapes to portraits.”

Morrison expresses that, “The Arts Council of Menifee provides leadership, community involvement and it broadens public awareness and opportunities in artistic and

cultural activities.”

For those with artistic abilities who would like the chance to teach their technique and share their field of expertise in the vast world of creativity with members eager to learn in the community, the Arts Council welcomes volunteers.

Murrieta Equestrian Park – The History Sgt. Jay A. Froboese MURRIETA POLICE DEPARTMENT

Part 1 of 3 The following is the beginning of a three-part article on the history of Murrieta Stud Ranch. This facility is currently called the Murrieta Equestrian Park and is owned by the City of Murrieta. It is located at the corner of Juniper and Hayes on the west side of Murrieta. This facility was purchased by the city in 2009 from the Ridder Family and is currently being reviewed by a consultant to design and build it out into a public equestrian facility for use by the public.

Murrieta Equestrian Park is an approximately 23-acre horse breeding facility for racing thoroughbreds. Its original name when it was built by Bernard and Georgia Ridder in late 1962 was Murrieta Stud Ranch.

Ben was born June 29, 1913, into a newspaper magnate family. His father’s name was Joseph Ridder and mother Hedwig Schneider. Joseph’s father, Herman Ridder, started the family’s newspaper business when he acquired the German language Staats-Zeitung newspaper in 1892. As anti-German sentiment increased between the two world wars, Herman Rid-

der successfully transitioned into English language publishing by acquiring the Journal of Commerce in 1926 in New York.

Ben Ridder’s love of horses goes back to his youth in New York. He played on Princeton’s polo team as a college student. He also showed and trained horses on the East Coast after college.

Georgia Buck, an only child, was born Dec. 5, 1914, in Baltimore. Her mother was the former Mary Elizabeth Pue and her father, Laurance Buck, invented the square space-saving glass milk bottle. After attending Ethel Walker School in Connecticut, she married Ben Ridder in New York in 1936.

Ben and Georgia Ridder moved from Long Island, New York, to Pasadena in 1955 so Ben could accept a job as publisher of the newspaper called Pasadena Independent & Star News that had a circulation of approximately 74,000 daily readers.

After being in Pasadena right next to Santa Anita Race Track for four years, the Ridder’s got hooked on thoroughbred racing. The Ridders bought four race horses, and after just a few races had lost three of the four to injuries and death.

The Ridder’s were devastated and Ben Ridder felt he could breed a

better and stronger race horse himself than what was available for sale in the commercial market. He went looking for land east and south of L.A where he could breed horses and not be bothered by the population explosion of L.A. and Orange counties. He came down Route 395 in 1961 and fell in love with a piece of property just west of the Santa Margarita Watershed which is today’s Murrieta Creek. That property now is Murrieta Equestrian Park.

In 1962 Ben Ridder immediately went to work contracting with Jack and Larry Weir of Weir Brothers Construction, still in business today in Rancho Santa Fe, building the adobe horseshoe barn and the house on the “knoll” as Ben called it. He and Georgia stayed in this house when they were at the ranch so they could, as Ben put it, “look over everything they had built and produced.”

The barn and house were built with adobe brick and clay roof tiles.

The barn has 16 stalls. Fourteen stalls are 14-square-feet each. The remaining two stalls on the ends are foaling stalls and much larger with a window in the interior north wall of the stall that can be opened into the lab and office space so the night watchmen could monitor the mares due to foal and immediately assist with foaling at the appropriate time. Being a prey species, all horses naturally foal at night to allow the foal to get on the ground, dry off and get on its feet by sunrise. A 12-foot covered lane extends for 160 feet around the front of the stalls. The heavy clay tile roof was supported by 10 by 14-inch timbers set at 10 foot intervals. The grass in front of the barn was put in by the Ridders to allow veterinarians to tranquilize horses for gelding and other minor operations. Ben wanted a soft and comfortable safe place close to the barn for these procedures, and did not want his horses lying in the dirt

during these procedures.

At the west end of the barn was the office for the farm manager, W.C. Meek and his assistant Tom Truby. There is also a room for storage and records for the breeding facility. Remember this ranch was from an era before computers and all breeding records for up to 150 thoroughbred mares and their off spring were typed or hand written and kept in file cabinets.

At the east end of the barn there was a completely equipped laboratory for a veterinarian. Other employees at the ranch were Gus Dimitri the night watchman and foaling helper, Clifford Mefferd the farrier that took care of the horse’s hooves, Jim Kean, our third paid fireman at Murrieta FD and father of current Murrieta fireman Steve Kean, who handled the mechanicals and maintenance of equipment on the ranch, and workers George Brush and Tony Mikhail. All employees said the Ridders were the nice people they had ever worked in the thoroughbred business. Pay was meager, but the Ridders provided a house for each worker and

their family, paid all the utilities, and gave each worker a cow each year for meat. Ridders even had a local rancher by the name of Bill Brown come out and butcher each family’s cow for them. If the Ridder’s had been successful at the track with their horses during the year, there was a nice cash Christmas bonus every year as well. The bonus almost always came in according to Jim Kean.

Look for Part 2 of 3 of this article next month and see what Ben and Georgia built next as they continued to expand and develop the Murrieta Stud Ranch The Murrieta Police Department appreciates all the support our community gives us throughout the year. This is an awesome community. We enjoy living here and consider it an honor to serve the citizens of Murrieta in our chosen profession of Law Enforcement.

Greenfield wins first in San Diego County Fair’s baked goods contest Joe Naiman STAFF WRITER

Carrin Greenfield entered the San Diego County Fair’s Baked and Decorated Food and Candy competition for the first time and won first place in the Other Than Listed, Sweet class of the Quick Breads and Pastries division.

Greenfield, who has lived in Murrieta for the past five years, also won second place in the Fudge competition.

Greenfield won her first-place ribbon for pumpkin bread with walnuts and chocolate chips. “I was very surprised because my oven wasn’t working,” she said.

“I was very shocked. I thought I overcooked it,” Greenfield said. “It all worked out.”

Greenfield is a partner in the Grow Organic World farm; she used pumpkins grown on the farm. Greenfield purchased the organic walnuts which were among the ingredients. “My walnut tree isn’t doing too well, so I had to buy them,” she said.

Greenfield had not previously

entered bread at any county fair. She has also entered Marin County Fair and Orange County Fair contests.

The chocolate cherry fudge which gave Greenfield a second-place ribbon included chunks of cherries and walnuts. “I took first place at Marin County Fair and Orange County Fair for that fudge. I guess I didn’t do so well in San Diego, but it was fun doing it,” she said.

Greenfield bakes most of her fudge in winter and was handicapped by the June 1 delivery date. “It was hot. I was a little worried about it. It was over 80,” she said.

She opted to bake the fudge in warmer weather rather than freezing fudge made in winter. “Everything was fresh,” she said.

Greenfield noted that she bakes six other flavors of fudge and may enter some of those in the San Diego County Fair contest during future years. “What a great fair,” Greenfield said.

Last year Lake Elsinore’s Robin Ralls won Best of Division for both Cakes and Candies while winning one other first-place ribbon in the

Candies division. Ralls also won Best of Division in the Candies class in 2014. This year Ralls settled for two second-place ribbons and an honorable mention award.

“It was somebody else’s time this year,” Ralls said.

In the Quick Breads and Pastries division Ralls was given second place in the Banana, With or Without Nut, class. Ralls baked a banana cream cheese bread with pecans.

“There was a lot of competition in the quick breads category, so I’m pretty proud of myself for placing second,” she said. “I’m the candy and cake girl, so it’s out of my realm of expertise, so I’m pretty proud of that second place ribbon.”

Ralls did not enter a cake in the San Diego County Fair this year. She submitted a red velvet cake recipe to the Orange County Fair competition but did not remember which fair she entered when she baked the cake and brought it to the San Diego County Fair along with her other food. “I brought the right cake to the wrong fair,” she said.

“I brought it to San Diego by mis-

Doctor accused of assaulting patients to stand trial MURRIETA – A doctor accused of sexually assaulting three patients during surgical procedures at a Temecula hospital must stand trial on more than 30 felony charges, a judge ruled Monday.

John Francis McGuire, 45, of Carlsbad was arrested in August 2015, following an investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff›s Department.

After a five-hour preliminary hearing Monday, July 25, at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Superior Court Judge John Monterosso found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial for McGuire on 34 felony counts, including sexual assault of an unconscious and restrained person, forcible rape, sexual battery and attempted sexual assault of a patient.

Monterosso scheduled a postpreliminary hearing arraignment for Aug. 8 and left McGuire›s bail set at $3 million. McGuire is being held at the Southwest Detention Center.

Prosecutors allege that he sexually assaulted three women, iden-

tified in court documents only by their initials – DA, MQ and TM. According to sheriff’s Sgt. Dean Spivacke, the doctor came under suspicion in July 2015 following allegations by a woman who received an unspecified procedure at Temecula Valley Hospital. No details were disclosed regarding the alleged assault.

Sheriff’s detectives spent several weeks investigating the case and “uncovered evidence which supported the victim›s allegations,” Spivacke said.

The district attorney›s office and sheriff’s investigators identified the other two alleged victims in the ensuing months.

McGuire is an ear, nose and throat specialist who had a practice in the Graybill Medical Center at 225 E. Second Ave. in Escondido.

The medical center is affiliated with Temecula Valley Hospital.

According to the California Medical Board, McGuire has been a practicing otolaryngologist since 2005. He graduated from the Georgetown University School of

take. I got my fairs mixed up,” Ralls said. “It was actually pretty comical.”

Ralls was given second place in the Truffles class for her banana creme truffle in white chocolate topped with walnuts. “That’s kind of a peculiar flavor,” Ralls said. “All my other flavors have won a blue ribbon, so I’m pretty proud of that second place as well.”

The only reason two of her previous truffles entries didn’t place first is that in both 2014 and 2015 Ralls took both first place and second place in the Truffles class. Last year her lemon creme truffle also won Best of Division for Candies while her second-place entry was an orange creme truffle. Her Java chocolate chip truffle won the 2014 Best of Division award as well as first place in the class, and that year she won second place for her raspberry creme truffle.

This year’s first-place truffle was chocolate. “The chocolate truffle should have won in my opinion,” Ralls said. “Getting a second place ribbon next to a chocolate truffle, that’s pretty good news to me.”

Ralls was given an honorable men-

tion ribbon in the Fudge category for her creamy maple fudge with pecans.

“I put too much maple in it,” she said.

Her oatmeal raisin cookie with pecan did not place in the Cookie division’s Oatmeal competition.

Ralls will bake cookies for customers upon request. “It’s not my specialty,” she said.

Ralls also entered the Preserved Food and Liqueur jams competition with her vanilla infused blackberry jam but did not place in the Berry, Other than Listed class. Nancee Siebert of Lancaster won both first and second in that class and swept the berries categories with first-place strawberry and raspberry entries.

“I didn’t even have a chance, but I’m going to try again,” Ralls said.

Ralls was raised in Vista and has lived in Lake Elsinore for 11 years.

“It’s a pleasurable experience,” Ralls said of the fair competition. “I love the San Diego fair with all my heart and as long as I’m baking and making candy I’m going to enter.”

Officials notice resurgence of PCP use in Hemet Trevor Montgomery WRITER

An apparent increase of PCP use in Hemet and several recent high-profile, violent incidents have local law enforcement officials concerned and have left many citizens afraid to leave their homes.

“We’ve had three incidents in the past week where the suspect was under the influence of PCP,”

Hemet Police Chief David Brown said.

All three incidents involved suspects fleeing from officers.

In two of the cases, the fleeing suspects fought with officers. One of the more violent encounters left a 70-year-old with “substantial facial injuries” and injured a police officer.

Phencyclidine (PCP) was developed in the 1950s as an intravenous anesthetic. However, due

to the drug’s extreme side effects that include delirium, hallucinations and mania, its medical use was discontinued in the 1960s.

A moderate amount of PCP can cause users to feel distant and detached from their surroundings.

Users can also exhibit extreme strength and feel a sense of invulnerability.

Users can experience hallucinations, severe mood swings and amnesia. Some PCP users can experience acute anxiety and a feeling of impending doom. Others experience violent hostility and paranoia.

Many medical professionals consider PCP to be one of the most dangerous types of drugs.

Violent PCP-related incidents on the rise On the morning of July 18, a man allegedly knocked a 70-yearold female to the ground as she walked to her vehicle to pump gas. The attack happened at the Super 8 gas station, at 202 N. State Street.

The victim suffered a broken eye socket and was transported to an area hospital where she received “numerous stitches for lacerations about the forehead and side of the head,” Hemet Police Lt. Jeff Davis said after the suspect’s arrest.

Several witnesses told officers the suspect had been “aggressively panhandling” at the gas station before the attack.

The man – who is homeless – was arrested after he fled on foot from one officer and then fought with several additional officers.

One officer was reportedly injured while trying to subdue and arrest the hostile and highly combative man. He was booked on a felony charge of violation of probation just 12 days earlier and released six days before the encounter.

“Two officers deployed their Tasers however the deployment was ineffective,” Davis said about the incident. “As officers were still physical with the suspect one of the officer’s Tasers was knocked from his hand.”

It took four officers to subdue

Another layer of severity and danger “PCP is extremely dangerous to the community and our officers,” Brown said. “Too many citizens and officers are being assaulted on a daily basis.”

After years of declining use, PCP-related encounters seem to be back on the rise, according to Brown. Considering the irrational behavior of PCP users, officials have been left wondering why the drug is making a sudden comeback.

With three PCP-related arrests happening within five days, officers are coming to the realization that they have to be prepared that any person they encounter might be under the influence of the drug’s powerful effects.

“The apparent resurgence of PCP use in the Valley has us very concerned,” Brown said. “It just adds another layer to the severity of the situation and the dangers our officers and citizens face daily.”

Two violent arrests involving PCP users within hours On the afternoon of July 22, Hemet Police officers were dispatched to Circle K at 636 W. Florida Avenue for a public intoxication and shoplifting call.

When officers arrived, they found a man in the store surrounded by employees. When the officers approached the alleged suspect he immediately broke free from the employees and ran from the location. Officers pursued him on foot through the parking lot.

Pursuing officers tackled the man in an attempt to detain him.

While on the ground the subject violently resisted officers. During the struggle, one officer used his baton to strike the suspect and another deployed his Taser. “Neither seemed to have any effect on the man,” Davis said adding that in spite of sustaining a broken ankle, he continued fighting and violently resisting arrest.

After he was overpowered and arrested Davis interviewed the subject. “I spoke to the suspect both at the scene and at the Hemet Valley Hospital,” Davis explained. “He stated that he was under the influence of PCP.” Later that same evening, officers were dispatched to the area of Florida Avenue and Carmalita Street after Hemet dispatchers received several 911 calls from citizens reporting a man who was breaking windows at businesses near the Historic Hemet Theater.

Callers said the man was carrying a baseball bat and a large knife.

When officers arrived they found windows from several businesses shattered. While they were checking the area for the suspect, dispatchers received another call from Taqueira El Toro, at 630 E. Florida Avenue. Employees at the restaurant told dispatchers that a

man was inside the restaurant hitting the counter with a bat.

As officers converged on the restaurant, an officer spotted the subject walking along Florida Avenue. When the man saw officers approaching he immediately fled on foot and began jumping fences behind businesses. While officers pursued him over fences, other officers drove to the area where the man was running and cornered him in a rear parking lot.

Officers ordered the man to the ground at gunpoint. The subject complied and he was detained without further incident.

The man “was displaying signs and symptoms of being under the influence of controlled substances and admitted to recently using methamphetamine and PCP,” Davis said.

Due to his level of drug intoxication, he was transported to Hemet Valley Hospital for a medical release before he was booked into jail.

The same subject was arrested earlier in the month for vandalism at Smitty’s Auto Paints.

No jobs, no money, no commerce, no better public safety, no growth!!!! This is the Supervisor’s VISION for us taxpaying, land owning, Riverside County citizens!

request. After almost two hours of back and forth discussion with the city planning staff, the council agreed to some DIF revisions with the understanding that any general plan changes caused by it would come back to the council within two years.

The changes proposed would reduce the original DIF cost for single family housing units from the original recommended cost of $15,319 to approximately $13,830 per dwelling unit and the fee for multifamily residential units from $10,219 to $9,675.

The recommended June 21 DIF fee revision for commercial, industrial and office would stay almost the same. (See previous Valley News story).

The city staff in returning the approved DIF revisions to staff said the fee changes should not go into effect in the 90-days earlier suggested, but begin Jan. 1 at the start of the new year. The change in fee phasing would give current developers more time to get the city approval for their projects before the fee increases take effect. Other changes were made in the fee phasing to help present developers and new developers coming to the city.

At the June 21 meeting the council also asked the planners to see if the cost of a proposed parking structure in Old Town Murrieta could be placed in the revised DIF fee schedule. The staff recommended against adding such a structure into the DIF as it would bring developer cost well above the proposed revised fee plan. The council, while agreeing that a parking structure in the Old Town area is needed, suggested such a structure become a public/ private entity.

The new DIF revisions have been approved with the new recommendations in a 4 to 1 vote. They were turned over to staff to finalize. The final DIF schedule will be returned to the five-member council to sign off.

Councilman Harry Ramos cast the only dissenting vote, believing the parking structure should be included in the new DIF and other issues.

The remaining council noted that the DIF fee schedule could still be changed in two years when the general plan is undated in the requested two years. The council noted it did not want to wait another 18 years before DIF revisions reached the dais.

the fees in their building costs that may be considerable.

Infrastructure includes such things as sewer, streets, roads, schools and landscaping while public safety includes fire and police protection for the increasing population created by the new developments. The fees are critical to all future development in the city and do impact developers’ decisions to move their projects to Murrieta.

Since the revisions had been long in coming the city staff called in representatives of the Building Industry Association who represent builders and developers from throughout the nation to give their opinion on the impact it might make on the city’s goal of bringing in more light industry and commerce to the city to provide more well-paying jobs and better living opportunities to its residents.

The staff forwarded their recommendations to the council after conferring with the BIA at the June meeting. The recommendation to raise the fees on commercial, industrial and office developments did not raise any special concern to the BIA. However, the representative in a letter noted that a 90-day “grandfathering” proposal where the fee schedule would not be changed for that time might be of great concern to the developers who are currently moving the plans and specifications for their projects through the required city planning process BIA said the developers included the fees given in the old schedule in their building cost estimates and if they were changed, it might make them withdraw their plans until the cost adjustments could be made.

Those developers who already have taken their projects to the city for review would lose the fees paid and even scuttle their whole project because of the increased cost. BIA wanted a promise the city would not let that happen.

The BIA, who informed the council it realized that costs had increased for building infrastructure and public safety and the city would have to revise their operational costs, suggested the city give the developers already going through the required planning process in more time before the new fees went into effect.

Hawks GU13 fields shutout to secure

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Jordan Reyes SPORTS WRITER

The Temecula Valley GU13 Academy team won the National Cup President’s Tournament for US Youth Soccer in Tulsa, Oklahoma, July 19.

In late June, the Hawks won their regional tournament in Colorado. This qualified the team for Nationals. They faced off against the other champions of each region to see who would take home the National Championship.

The four regions include North Carolina, Maryland, Illinois and California.

Each team played each other twice throughout the weeklong tournament. The Hawks team did not know what to expect from their competition, but they did not allow themselves to give up. “It’s very hard to find out how other players from different regions play, but we kept our technical and physical confidence up,” added in Head Coach Basso.

The Hawks defeated North Carolina and then Maryland, for their first two games. They qualified for the finals Sunday and played Illinois for the title. Throughout the week, the heat and humidity was tough for each team. The Hawks felt that they were able to compete against anyone and this fueled their championship run.

Coach Basso believed that fitness was a key factor for his team’s success. “All of the hard work that we put in prior paid off.

We scrimmaged against our boys’ team to prepare for this week,” Basso said.

In their first match against Illinois, Coach Basso chose to rest his key players while his opponents played their star players.

The Hawks were prepared both physically and mentally before their last game. In their final match against Illinois, the two teams tied 0-0 in regulation. Illinois set out

an aggressive tone on the field, and they continued their battle 20 minutes into overtime.

Coach Basso was confident that the Hawks outplayed their rivals.

“We controlled the game…we really showed that we wanted it more and showed that we wanted to get after the ball and create chances for our team.”

In overtime, the game came down to penalty kicks. Illinois missed three penalty kicks and the Hawks scored on two penalty kicks. “My goalkeeper, Sabrina Hinz, was the best goalie of the tournament. She’s pretty tall and intimidating…the opposing players panicked and Sabrina saved the game.”

With the new U.S. team rules set into place, the Hawks team has to

split up for the next season. Over seven players will go into a different division and all of the clubs will split their team into different age groups.

When asked how the rule will affect this championship caliber Hawks team, Coach Basso replied, “This group has been together for many years. There’s a rule that the team needs to split up now. 2003 players will play 2002 players; the girls will benefit by playing with people older than them.”

Coach Basso believes that it will take a couple of years to adjust.

“Our core group of players have been together for a little over four years.”

train together. Players from all of the soccer clubs meet up to play futsal and get better. “The players want to get better and they do everything. This has been a big thing about their success; they develop skills, technique and confidence,” Basso said.

Basso praised the support of the team parents throughout the season. “The positive atmosphere with the parents and our manager, whether the team wins or lose, is a big deal,” he concluded.

The positive atmosphere built up strong momentum from their league championship, State Cup, Regionals win and now a National Championship.

The West Coast AAU Junior Olympic Games Golf Championship is underway at The Legends Golf Club and the Golf Club at Rancho California. The event ends Friday, July 29.

The competition is fielding over 90 players, with a number of Murrieta and Temecula junior golfers participating. A majority of the Temecula and Murrieta athletes come from a junior golf tour run by Lou Skovron and the Valley Junior Golf Organization.

A group that Skovron has run since the 1980s.

Junior golfers from as far as China, Australia, Taiwan, Mongolia and five other states have competed for the first time at the Temecula golf course.

Monday and Tuesday of this week featured practice rounds for the athletes. Tuesday night the athletes got together for a mandatory rules meeting and a party.

The last three days of the event featured round competitions that started at 7:30 a.m. each day.

Following the final scoring Friday, the top three athletes from each age and gender will win an award (Bronze, Silver and Gold).

For the last two years, the AAU held its tournament in Orange County. director of PGA Golf Lou Skovron said, explaining the AAU history. “The AAU was affiliated with a tournament the last two years called the Veritas in Orange County. The Veritas closed its doors this year so the AAU decided they wanted to do the tournament along with the West Coast AAU Junior Olympics

and asked my wife and myself if we would help them put the tournament on in Temecula Valley.”

Lou and his wife Valarie said they were thrilled to bring a junior golf tournament back into the area. They also are eager to expand on it in the future, and invite more athletes. In the 90s, Skovron started a Riverside county junior golf tournament. “(back then) we had juniors from all over the world and one year one of our champions was Adam Scott.”

Scott is now an internationally ranked professional golfer.

The Legends Golf Club is located in at the heart of Wine Country and the Golf Club at Rancho California is off Robert Trent Jones Parkway in Murrieta.

Davenport wins Ladies Invitation Doubles round-robin pool at Wimbledon, injury default ends championship hopes Joe Naiman WRITER

Had 1994 Murrieta Valley High School graduate Lindsay Davenport and doubles partner Mary Joe Fernandez not defaulted in their final match due to injury, they might have won the Ladies Invitation Doubles division at Wimbledon.

Davenport and Fernandez won their three round-robin pool matches before facing Martina Navratilova and Selima Sfar in the July 10 championship match. The first set was tied at six games apiece, forcing a tiebreaking game to seven points, and Navratilova and Sfar took a 7-5 victory in that

game. Davenport and Fernandez defaulted before any games in the second set could be played. Each team had won 36 points during the first set before the tiebreaking game.

Davenport and Fernandez began play July 5 with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Barbara Schett and Nathalie Tauziat. The July 6 match against Tracy Austin and Sandrine Testud was a 6-3, 6-3 result in favor of Davenport and Fernandez, who then prevailed over Magdalena Maleeva and Rennae Stubbs in 6-4 and 7-5 sets July 8.

Davenport and Martina Hingis had won the Ladies Invitation Doubles championship in 2011,

2012, and 2013.

In 1999 Davenport won two Wimbledon championships, defeating Steffi Graf in the Ladies Singles final and teaming with Corina Morariu in the Ladies Doubles division for the championship which culminated with a win in the final against Mariaan de Swardt and Elena Tatarkova. Davenport also reached the Ladies Singles final in 2000 and 2005 but lost to Venus Williams both years. Davenport and Natasha Zvereva reached the 1998 Ladies Doubles final before losing the championship match to Hingis and Jana Novotna.

Norman and Team U.S.A. take home gold medal in Poland with year’s fastest 4x100 relay Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

Despite a rough go at the Olympic Trials a couple of weeks ago, Murrieta’s Michael Norman hasn’t ended his pursuit to becoming one of the world’s best runners.

Over the weekend, Norman competed in the World Under-20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, where he took part in Team U.S.A.’s gold medal in the 4x100 relay. He joined Noah Lyles (Virginia), Hakim Montgomery (Alabama) and Brandon Taylor (Texas) in running the 4x100 relay in just 38.93 seconds, good enough for the fastest time in the world this year, and the fifth-fastest ever.

Finishing behind Norman and the rest of the team were Japan, Germany, Australia and England.

Norman also took home a gold in a dominating 200 meter victory, finishing in 20.17 seconds, just 0.03 seconds off his personal record set at the Olympic Trials. He helped Team U.S.A. in their total domination at the Championships, as

Victorville’s Jeff Dyer to step from sprint car to CHP cruiser recruiting station. I actually started my Army career as a cavalry scout.

I did that for about three years total and did a couple of deployments doing that in Iraq. My second time in Iraq, these IED’s (improvised explosive devices) were killing everybody.”

Dyer tore his ACL playing rugby and was assigned to desk duty which bored him to death. He figured there was something else for him in the Army so he started hunting around the internet and he came across the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) information. It sparked his interest that you could be stationed anywhere in the country including “cool places like San Diego” so he sent an email.

“I thought that would be awesome to be stationed in San Diego while in the Army,” he laughed.

“So I went through the whole long process. It is a volunteer process.

It is the only job in the Army that you can quit anytime you wanted to. They don’t want you there if you don’t want to do it.”

He went to school for the new position and graduated top of his class. Fifty-five people started that class and only five graduated!

“When I graduated I was sent to Fort Lewis in Washington and was immediately deployed to Iraq,” he stated. “I went there as a team leader. We were there for about seven months and in those seven months me and my team disabled about 100 IED’s. I think we destroyed about 10,000 pounds of captured enemy munitions.”

Dyer loved the job! When he got back from Iraq, Afghanistan was “gearing up big,” so he volunteered to go.

“I did another year over there (Afghanistan) and I think we did between 300 and 500 missions.”

Dyer remembered. “We blew up about 60 tons of enemy munitions.

It is a unique job in the military. It is one of the only jobs in the military where the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force go to the same school. It is a very dangerous job as you only get one chance. People asked me if I was good at my job and I would joke and say, ‘well, I am still here.’”

Dyer is no newcomer when

PERRIS – When the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars return to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday night, July 30, veteran California Lightning Sprint Car Series driver Jeff Dyer will be taking his second ever ride in a 410 sprint car. However, next month the Victorville resident, who retired from the United States Army in May, will be switching from a race car to a police cruiser as he begins training at the California Highway Patrol Academy in Sacramento.

Dyer started life in Covina before the family moved to Victorville when he was in the third grade.

They then headed to Chino for his high school years. He stayed in Chino until joining the Army in 2003. While growing up he played ice hockey and has raced go karts as an adult, but he always wanted to be a member of the California Highway Patrol. Now the first step in that dream is just a few weeks away.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be highway patrolman,” he smiled. “That is one of the reasons I got out (of the Army). They have an age limit to join the Highway Patrol and it is 34-years-old. I am 33. So, it was either I did it now or I did not do it.

I went through the process and was accepted and I start the academy in about four weeks.”

After Saturday’s action at The PAS, Dyer will get in a race with the California Lightning Sprint Cars at Ventura on Aug. 3 before leaving for the academy. It is a live in academy so it is going to put a damper on his racing for the remainder of the year. The academy is 27 weeks in length and racing in 2017 will depend on what schedule he gets.

While he is going to fulfill his lifelong dream, leaving the Army was not easy.

“It was kind of bittersweet getting out and very emotional,” he said. “It was hard to say goodbye. I loved the Army and I loved serving my country. Officially I was in the Army for 12 years and about eight months. I was in college and a good friend of mine got killed overseas.

So, I wanted to do my part. I walked straight out of college and into the

it comes to the sprint car game.

His step dad John Nelson owned a sprint car along with John Anderson that they ran from the mid-1980s to the early 90s. Nelson drove the car for a bit and then had hired guns behind the wheel including Keith Chrisco, Frank Baldozier and Gary Howard. As a teen, Dyer helped on that car.

Dyer will be racing the Cal Smith owned #39 this Saturday night.

That relationship goes back to when he was in high school and he was helping as much as he could as a part of Smith’s pit crew.

Unlike many in racing, Dyer has never had a dream of driving in NASCAR or at Indianapolis. All he has ever daydreamed of racing is a 410 sprint car. Saturday will be his second voyage in such a ride and perhaps there will be more in the future.

“The only thing I have ever wanted to race is a 410 sprint car,” the future officer grinned. “I have been in love with them since I was a kid. When I started racing, 410 sprint cars were my aspiration. If I made it (into a 410) to that, it would be the highlight of my life and I could retire from racing and be satisfied.”

In his first outing in a 410 sprint car at Perris June 11, Dyer impressed many longtime fans by keeping his nose clean and finishing 14th in the 22 car main event.

Most recently, he won the last California Lightning Sprint Car main event at Ventura July 9. It was his first CLS win of the year. He is currently in fourth place in the CLS championship point standings.

In addition to Dyer and the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the PAS Senior and Young Gun Sprint Cars will also be in action Satur-

St. John’s University offers free workshop, ‘You Can Breathe Better Now!’

TEMECULA – St. John’s University will offer the fourth in a series of free community workshops, “You Can Breathe Better Now!” If we are not directly experiencing this debilitating problem, we probably know someone who is.

The workshop will be held Saturday, Aug. 20, at St. John’s University, located at 40945 County Center Drive, Suite H, in Temecula across from the Grace Mellman library.

We can harness our inner mind

to manage stress, be free from the smoking habit, and sleep better at night. We can also use our inner minds to resolve whatever is causing us to have an issue with our breathing. Not being able to breath normally may be a result of asthma, or even stress, including panic attacks.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, more than 25 million Americans have asthma.

The mind-body link between stress

and breathing problems is starting to be better understood. How well we manage stress can directly affect how easily we are breathing.

Dr. Pamela Winkler, Director of the S.J.U. Counseling Services said, “Our clients have a high success rate with improved breathing because it is easy to learn how to reduce stress with the subconscious mind. People are amazed at how easily they can lower their emotional stress and how quickly they can breathe more easily.”

“We know the inner mind can resolve the root cause of anxiety, depression and panic attacks.” said Winkler. “The inner mind can also resolve what is triggering these feelings. This ability to maintain pour peace of mind puts us back in control of our sense of well-being.

Being able to breath easily is central to feeling safe and secure.”

The mind-body connection is so intertwined, that once the mind begins to heal the mind, the mind automatically begins to heal the body. When we have peace of mind, we also can have a peaceful and healthier body, a body that is able to breathe better.

The workshop will include easy

techniques anyone can do in order to breathe better immediately.

There is a clear connection between our breathing and the subconscious mind, which actually controls our ability to breathe. There is a level of mind that is in charge of keeping us breathing, even while we are sleeping. We can harness that power to breathe better.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 40 million Americans currently smoke cigarettes, accounting for 480,000 deaths yearly or one out of every five deaths.

“I have hypnotized hundreds of smokers who are now non-smokers,” said Dr. Winkler. “It doesn’t seem to matter how long someone has smoked, or even how much someone smokes. All that really seems to matter to be free from smoking, is how ready a person is to quit. Then usually one Hypnotherapy session can free them forever from the smoking habit.

The inner mind is that powerful.”

To register for Winkler’s Aug. 20 workshop, “You Can Breathe Better Now!” call (951) 5997550. Seating is limited. Early registration is suggested.

S.J.U. is currently registering new students for the fall semester.

Therapists, counselors, medical practitioners and others can add the professional tool of Clinical Hypnotherapy, and help clients and patients live a healthier and happier life.

For more information about S.J.U.’s 3-tiered distance learning Certification program and graduate level degree programs in Clinical Hypnotherapy, visit www.sjunow. org.

To schedule a private appointment at S.J.U. Counseling Services, located at 40945 County Center Drive, Suite H, Temecula, CA 92591, call (951) 599-7550.

Pamela Winkler, Ph.D. is an Educational Psychologist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and has served as President of St. John’s University since 1995. She is a motivational speaker on the topic of the power of the mind for self-healing. Acknowledged for her academic contributions to the profession of Hypnotherapy, Dr. Winkler was inducted into the International Hypnosis Hall of Fame in 1992.

during the summer. In 2015, 17 samples out of 713 tested positive.

The virus can be transmitted to humans and some animals through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Most individuals who are infected will not experience any illness.

Others will have only mild symptoms, such as fever, headache and body aches. However, young children, the elderly or individuals with lowered immune systems are at greater risk of more severe symptoms. Anyone with symptoms should contact their health care provider.

The department’s vector-control staff has intensified mosquito surveillance, as well efforts to control adult and larval mosquitoes in this area to reduce the mosquito populations and interrupt the disease transmission cycle. Residents are encouraged to take an active role to reduce the threat of West Nile virus in their neighborhoods.

• Protect yourself against mos-

quito bites by using insect repellent. Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months old and should be used in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children. Lemon eucalyptus oil should not be used on children under 3 years old.

• Be aware of peak mosquito hours. Dawn and dusk are peak biting times for many mosquitoes.

Consider rescheduling outdoor activities during that time. Report any day biting mosquitoes to vector staff, stressing that you are being bitten during the day vs at dawn or dusk.

• Clothing can help prevent mosquito bites. Wear long-sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors to help keep mosquitoes

away from skin.

• Mosquito-proof your home.

Drain standing water because mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places for mosquitoes to breed by draining/discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty unused flowerpots and wading pools. Change water in birdbaths and pet bowls at least weekly.

• Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly fitting screens on all windows and doors.

Contact the Riverside County Vector Control program at (951) 766-9454 or your local vectorcontrol district to report mosquito problems, request mosquito fish and report neglected pools or standing water as potential mosquito sources. Visit the department online at www.rivcoeh.org or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ RiversideCountyEH/ to obtain more information.

Even Far-Away Tragic Events Can Affect You American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

We live in a world where, unfortunately, tragedy on a major scale occurs far too often. From natural disasters to random violence and even terrorism, learning about innocent lives lost has a profound effect on all of us even though we may not be personally connected in any way with what has happened.

A major tragedy is, to some degree, traumatizing and unsettling to us. It’s known as “vicarious trauma.” It’s what we experience

even though we aren’t directly involved. More than just feeling upset, we can even experience powerful physical and emotional reactions. It’s not unusual to feel confusion or dizziness, to find that you’re suddenly sleeping poorly, having nightmares or perhaps finding it difficult to relax or concentrate.

It can be hard to understand why we might be affected in these ways, since we don’t suffer personally or lose a loved one. But as caring human beings we identify with those people who were directly affected. It isn’t hard to

imagine the terror experienced as a plane plunged from the sky, or the unbearable sense of loss a parent suffers over the death of a young child.

But beyond that empathy for what those involved are suffering, we can also experience a real sense of frustration and helplessness because what occurred is so far beyond our control.

Those feelings, however, don’t have to be overwhelming or leave us paralyzed. While none of us could have done anything to stop that tragedy or disaster from happening, there are things we can do after the fact to help meet our emotional and psychological needs through our personal actions.

A starting point is not to deny the emotional response we are feeling, but rather to acknowledge it and to actively address it. This means not hiding in depression or denial, but rather taking positive steps for a healthy life. Get plenty of rest, eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. It almost always helps to discuss with others what you’re feeling.

It’s also a time to do something positive to help make the world a better place. Volunteering locally, making a financial donation, giving blood, writing letters of thanks to first responders or undertaking some other positive action can make you – and others – feel better.

After terrible events happen, acknowledge your feelings, recognize them as normal, and take real steps to turn such feelings into positive actions.

Local student spends summer conducting research at UC Davis TEMECULA – While most high school students are lounging around the pool, playing video games or maybe working at the nearest mall, Henry Harrigan is spending his off-time researching biological engineering at UC Davis.

Harrigan, a rising senior at Great Oak High School, is among a select group of students attending the UC Davis Young Scholars Program this summer. The advanced science program, now over 50 years old and offered by the School of Education, introduces up to 40 high achieving high school sophomores and juniors to the world of original research in the biological and natural sciences.

Participants work one-on-one with research faculty in state-of-the art laboratories for six weeks. Each student works on an individual project and prepares a professionallevel research paper and presentation about his or her work.

“Students work under the direction of real-world researchers,” said Rick Pomeroy, program director and teacher educator in the School of Education at UC Davis. “In fact, these high school students are engaged in research that most college undergraduates don’t have

an opportunity to do.”

Harrigan is investigating biological engineering in food science under Dr. Bornhorst at the UC Davis Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering. His project centers on what is known as the “buffering capacity” of foodstuffs – how much they can resist a change in pH. The buffering capacity of food alters the acidity of the stomach, influencing acid secretion and enzyme function, which affect its ability to digest food. A comprehensive method to analyze buffering capacity will indicate whether all that protein in a protein shake is causing more harm to digestive tracts than good.

The program, which kicked off this year June 20, immerses students in the entire college experience. During the first two weeks of the program, participants attend lectures focusing on recent developments in biology and natural sciences in the mornings and conduct lab science every afternoon. During the last four weeks of the program, students work full time in their labs.

Students live in campus dormitories and take field trips every weekend.

To qualify for the program, students must have a strong academic record, have taken biology and two

Scarlet Fanene of Temecula, was awarded the “R&D Honorary” Scholarship. She is a student at West Coast University.

Tamara Cummings of Murrieta was awarded the “New Beginnings” Scholarship. Cummings is a student at Loma Linda University.

Celebrating 10 years of service, Hope For The Warriors is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for veterans, service members and military families. Since 2008, Hope

For The Warriors has awarded Military Spouse/Caregiver Scholarships twice a year. The program identifies, recognizes and rewards post-9/11 spouses and caregivers for their strength, fidelity and resolve despite adversity. With the help of the scholarships, recipients can continue their education at an accredited university, college or trade school.

“It’s not just the service member that serves, it’s the entire family.

These scholarships are just one small way Hope For The Warriors can thank military spouses and caregivers for their relentless service,” said Robin Kelleher, cofounder and president of Hope For

The Warriors. “Deployments and injuries can delay or potentially sacrifice the aspirations to further military spouse or caregivers’ education. Their sacrifices do not go unnoticed and we’re proud to assist each recipient with his/her goals and dreams.”

Since the program’s inception, Hope For The Warriors has granted 67 Military Spouse/Caregiver Scholarships totaling $284,760. To apply for a scholarship, visit www. hopeforthewarriors.org/transition/ spousecaregiver-scholarships/.

Come about Joe Naiman WRITER

Although Chip Ford is one of Massachusetts’ leading interestgroup politicians, my most memorable governmental experience with him involved a Navy warship warning our sailboat that we were too close. But that’s just one of many sailing stories involving Chip, Suzanne and myself on the Alchemy.

Chip and I have known each other for many years. His only other friend in San Diego lives on a 36-foot sloop normally moored at the Seaforth Marina, so when Chip is in town I head toward Mission Bay and we convene on Suzanne’s boat.

On one particular trip we sailed out of Mission Bay and headed for points north. Since we were sailing during August daylight and we maintained visual contact with the shoreline, we didn’t need a compass. We spent a couple of hours sailing toward San Diego’s

northern suburbs and had lunch before heading back.

It was a different experience than past trips up Interstate 5. But the freeway is pretty much north-south.

The coastline includes a western run at the south end of Pacific Beach before returning to the northsouth configuration. When we turned around, we thought we were further north than we actually were.

Since we weren’t expecting the Mission Bay inlet until later, we didn’t realize that we had passed it.

I was trying to identify landmarks from the west side rather than from a road on the east. Even the Point Loma Nazarene University gymnasium seemed unfamiliar from the west side.

The area was unfamiliar to us, and we weren’t sure whether we were west of Point Loma or La Jolla. We saw a lighthouse ahead, and Chip looked at his charts. The frequency of the beacon matched the Point Loma lighthouse, which meant that we were likely in Point Loma. Since the west side of La

Jolla consists of such things as the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the west side of Point Loma includes military buildings I’ve never accessed, I still wasn’t sure.

If we were indeed off the coast of Point Loma, those white things would be the gravestones at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, but we still didn’t think we passed Mission Bay. As we passed the lighthouse, we saw the Coronado Bay Bridge.

Now we knew that we had gone

by Point Loma and had missed our inlet. We tacked the sails to change our direction and headed north.

In addition to heading toward Mission Bay, another prerequisite for returning home was not to get stuck in a kelp bed. From time to time Chip, Suzanne and I tacked the sails and steered the helm to avoid the kelp, and in many cases that brought us further west rather than further north.

Since we were not anywhere near the urinal at the Seaforth Marina, I ventured downstairs to Suzanne’s

restroom. I opted to sit on the seat, since standing up while the Alchemy was traveling at four to 6 knots likely would have left a mess in Suzanne’s bathroom. It’s still a task to remain on the seat when the boat is rolling over waves at that speed. Some things make a nautical restroom stop even tougher.

I returned upstairs and said to Chip and Suzanne: “You didn’t have to tack while I was in the restroom?” Chip laughed; he had issued the “come about” command to Suzanne without remembering to warn me about the upcoming change of direction. At least Chip and Suzanne had an easier time avoiding the kelp bed than I had trying to stay on the toilet seat.

The detours west were threatening our ability to return by sunset, and we didn’t want to try to maneuver the boat in the dark.

We contemplated dropping anchor and spending the night at sea. Then I saw the Sea World tower. That gave us direction to the inlet, and we returned to the Seaforth Marina.

Since Chip hadn’t used the bathroom on the way back, he also hadn’t looked in the mirror. After we tied the boat to Suzanne’s slip I mentioned that he looked pretty sunburned. That’s when he made the trip to the mirror and confirmed my analysis.

None of this deterred us from wanting to make future sailing trips, although Chip purchased a hand-held Global Positioning System before his next trip to San Diego. On that visit I thought I was doing so well steering parallel to the Point Loma coastline. Then we heard a message over our radio: “This is Warship No. 7. You’re 1 mile from our starboard bow.”

The three of us decided that a 36-foot sloop shouldn’t be messing with anything called a warship, and I turned around quite quickly. The GPS recorded how sharp a turn I had made, and Chip showed that to me. The incident with Warship No. 7 became another sailing story. But at least we knew where we were that time.

created equal and, as human beings, are made in the image of God. He believes that all life is precious and worthy of protection.

He believes that this equality means that everyone should be treated the same under the law and have an equal opportunity to succeed, but that no one should have special privileges because of race, gender, national origin or some perceived grievance.

He believes that laws are written to protect the innocent and that lawbreakers should be punished.

He believes that it is wrong to steal and that includes our elected representatives who regularly steal from their constituents through taxation to curry favor with supporters and special interest groups.

He believes in living within our means, and that a nation that borrows will be a slave to the lender.

He believes that we have a moral responsibility to care for the less fortunate, but that doesn’t include the able-bodied who refuse to work.

He believes fornication and adultery are wrong and that marriage is between and man and a woman.

Lastly – and this may surprise some – he believes, as our Creator did, in free choice. However, that choice ends when it affects someone else’s life or property. Therefore, if some choose a lifestyle that is contrary to God’s word, he will support their right to those choices as guaranteed under our Constitution, but that doesn’t mean that the government should cohere everyone into participating or condoning those choices.

What does one have to fear – as the left does – from having godly people like Pence run our government? What does one have to fear from leaders who believe in upholding our Constitution which is based on God’s unchanging principles?

Mike Pence: The left’s new bogeyman Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

To say that the left is adamantly against Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s running mate, is to state the obvious. However, in the days since the Indiana governor was chosen, liberals have been having conniptions for fear that this unassuming, soft-spoken, likable Hoosier, might be able to sway some to, horrors, vote Republican.

Pence is their new bogeyman, one to be feared more than ISIS, more than corporate greed, even more than the greatest threat to mankind – global warming.

Eric Schmeltzer, writing for the Huffington Post, called him “Sarah Palin (a popular left-wing target) without the charisma.”

Whooo!

Schmeltzer again on his blog: “It isn’t so much that Mike Pence is a lightweight in the brains department. It’s that Mike Pence is a lightweight in the brains department and also ridiculously incompetent.” Double whooo!

Martin Longman of the Washing-

ton Monthly said, “Pence has the countenance of a humorless boarding school headmaster, and to call him a moral scold would be putting it mildly. … No one who followed Pence’s congressional career should have been surprised by his extremism as governor. He had served as the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, an organization known for its radicalism. He actually joined the Tea Party Caucus, an assembly of loons that was chaired by the certifiably crazy Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. Groan!”

Thom Palmer, another blogger, penned this doozy, “Most of his personal platform flies in the face of everything Trump has advocated, except they both agree on the need to be more racist, sexist and hateful.” Howl! Hiss!

But no one symbolized the extreme hatred of the man like Christina Cauterucci, a staff writer for Slate who wrote, “Mike Pence … is no brilliant speaker who could spin the Republican Party’s chillingly anti-woman platform into something palatable for the average female voter. He’s not even a

neutral actor, someone who might not cancel out Trump’s misogyny but at least wouldn’t inflame it. Instead, Trump has reputedly chosen a political figure known for his active hostility toward women and his support for legislation that puts political symbolism ahead of the public good.” Moan, wail!

Let’s face it: The left would be against any Republican, even God, Himself. In fact, the Almighty likely would face a torrent of criticism from the left, the likes of which we have never experienced. Why? Because God has given us a set of moral absolutes in the Bible, and those on the left want us to reject any of his followers who profess a faith in Him that includes living by His unchanging word.

Those lefties who adhere to a form of godliness (Hillary Clinton) believe the Bible, like our Constitution, is as malleable as Silly Putty and should change with the times. Therefore, Pence, is part of the unwashed, unenlightened.

What does the left really have to fear from Mike Pence? As a Christian, he believes that we are all

This is how democrats manipulate African-American voters To the Editor, For 50 years, African-Americans have voted for democrats. Seventy to 90 percent of African-American voters, vote democrat every election cycle. The democrats have broken the code and use it against African-Americans every election.

Justifiably, African-Americans are angry and disappointed by their opportunities in America. Broken homes, failing and unsafe schools, lack of jobs, crime and drugs are all part of the African-American reality. If you combine that with America’s historically shameful treatment of African-Americans as slaves and second class humans, it

is understandable why the democrat formula has been so successful.

The formula is a simple one but it requires the democrats to get African-Americans so enraged every election cycle that they come out in large numbers to vote for more of the same.

There is no one group in America that is more justifiably sensitive to racism that African-Americans.

The democrats know this and “play the race card” every election in the hope that personal rage will blind African-American voters to the reality of what is being done to them.

This election cycle it is the Black Lives Matter movement. The ad-

ministration and every democratic candidate for president has amplified this movement in an effort to build that critical anger. The bulk of these issues take place in communities controlled by democratic legislators and democratic mayors, congressmen and governors. You would think that most elected officials would not want to bring up their own failures but you would be missing the real magic behind the democratic strategy. Create a problem, amplify it and pretend to support a solution for it. By default, the other party must not care. They must be racist. It is the same strategy each election cycle and it is a winner. Why else would angry, disappointed African-Americans vote for more of the same and expect a different outcome? Behind closed doors I suspect the democratic leadership has a good belly laugh over this, every election.

Let’s just look at the facts. Democrats control most inner-city communities. The communities are high crime areas with major drug issues and failing schools with no jobs. These same Democrats will use all their political power to kill any open school choice and will do almost anything they can to keep African-American in those failing schools. They support trade policies that have decimated the jobs in those communities and add regula-

tory and tax barriers for any new businesses that may consider opening. They raise the wage rates so high that no businesses can afford to open in those communities. The open boarder policy guarantees the continuation of the gang violence, drugs and crime while stretching their minimal police coverage to its limits. Then you can add 50 years of broken promises and you would have the African-American Democratic platform.

Now let’s look at the alternative voting option. Tighten border control, strangle off the drug flow and reduce the number of illegal immigrant gang members flooding our cities. Cancel or rewrite trade policies that will encourage manufacturing and other high paying jobs back into our communities. Deport illegal aliens that break the law. Change the tax and regulatory policies that discourage the opening of new businesses. Let African-Americans attend the best private or public schools they can find, School Choice!

Umm, it is pretty clear that the other party offers more for AfricanAmericans than the democrats. Every election the democrats convince everyone that the other party must be racist. They don’t care about the Black Lives Matter issues as much as they do. Get it? It is all about creating a race based issue. It works

like a charm every time. Democrats identify one of the many issues they helped to create, they amplify the issue to raise the anger level, they pretend they care about that problem and want to solve it and they point out the other party doesn’t care about it. The other party does not have to do anything against African-Americans, that’s the beauty of the race card.

Black voters will be lining up this Election Day the same as they have for 50 years asking for four more years of the same. They have been convinced that that choice is better then what that other uncaring, racist party has to offer. Anger and racism will always win over common sense.

Every election cycle is a big payday for black leaders. Some so filled with anger that they gladly take the money and support the democrats, while others understand what is happening but value their payday more than the fate of their people.

What do you call someone who does the same thing over and over but expects a different outcome?

Behind closed doors the democrats whisper the answer to that question, every election cycle.

Sincerely Richard Lawless Temecula, CA

This session is winding down Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Legislature recessed in July and returns Aug. 1. Hundreds of bills await final approval before the Legislature adjourns Aug. 31.

Several of my bills passed the Assembly and are currently pending in the Senate. These include AB 59, which extends the sunset date for Laura’s Law, allowing counties to provide assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) for severely mentally ill, and AB 1754, which sets up a San Diego County pilot program to fund counseling services for elder and dependent adult victims of financial crimes from the Victim’s Crime Fund. In total, 12 of my bills made

it through the Assembly this year.

Many important issues have already been decided. A balanced budget passed, though spending priorities remain skewed. Our crumbling highways were largely ignored (again), and the Department of Finance is predicting a return to deficit spending by 2019. Funding for schools will increase in line with voter mandates imposed by Prop. 98; the CSU and UC systems will also see additional funding. The budget was signed by Governor Brown June 27.

A firearms-related bill package aimed largely at law-abiding citizens, including requirements for background checks to purchase ammunition, became law. However,

legislation aimed at criminals restoring felony status to all firearms thefts was vetoed, allowing theft of a firearm under $950 to remain a misdemeanor!

More controversy was generated

by Senate passage of SB 1146. If passed by the Assembly, SB 1146 will limit religious freedom by allowing state interference with private colleges and universities in determining what can be considered religious practices at those institutions.

Heated debate about some very controversial issues will be likely as we head toward adjournment.

There is still a lot of work to be done before the gavel goes down Aug. 31 at midnight.

Blotter Armed suspect on I-215 freeway in Perris forces closures

Antonio Lopez is seen being taken into custody.

William Hayes photos

Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Multiple reports of a highly agitated man on the I-215 freeway in Perris brought an overwhelming response from California Highway Patrol officers and Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies Sunday, July 24, a CHP official confirmed.

Motorists told dispatchers a man was lying in the center divider and popping up while pointing a rifle at passing vehicles, jumping back and forth over the center divider from one side of the freeway to the other, and running up and down along the center median while armed with the rifle.

A CHP incident log showed the first of numerous 911 calls began to flood into the CHP Temecula Station at about 5:40 a.m. The man, who officers identified as 27-yearold Antonio Caesar Lopez, was taken into custody without incident

Numerous officers and deputies responded to the emergency on the I-215 freeway.

Antonio Ceasar Lopez

at about 6 a.m.

As Lopez was being arrested, he reportedly told CHP officers there was something inside his vehicle that was going to “hurt the officers.”

Lopez’s vehicle, which was described as a gold SUV was located near the Ethanac Road overpass, which forced not only the closure

of both the north and southbound lanes of the freeway but the Ethanac Road overpass as well.

By 6:30 a.m., all traffic on the 215 freeway had been diverted off the freeway from Highway 74 to McCall Road.

The Riverside Sheriff’s Hazardous Devices Team was called to the location to check Lopez’s vehicle and render any possible device safe.

According to CHP officials, HDT members used a robot to determine there was nothing of a hazardous or explosive nature inside the SUV. However, the freeway and overpass were closed for more than five hours while the robot searched

the vehicle.

Officers later located a rifle inside or near Lopez’s vehicle.

A court record search indicated Lopez was booked on suspicion of three felonies, including assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

He was also charged with six misdemeanors, including being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of a deadly weapon, driving under the influence of drugs, carrying a loaded firearm, shooting a firearm from a public road and brandishing a firearm.

A man was fatally shot by law enforcement officials during an hourslong standoff Sunday, July 24.

The man, later identified as Robert Lourenco, 36, of Riverside was shot in the 26800 block of Lawrence Court in an unincorporated area of Hemet.

Lourenco was reportedly armed with a handgun and what has been described as either a hatchet or a tomahawk. Numerous deputies and officers from multiple agencies and sheriff’s stations, including the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, and Hemet Police Department were at the scene of the shooting.

Lourenco died at the scene after being shot by several law enforcement officers from two different agencies, according to Riverside Sheriff’s Public Information Officer Deputy Michael Vasquez.

The deadly encounter began at about 10:30 a.m. when Riverside County emergency dispatchers received several 911 calls from citizens reporting seeing a man walking in a residential neighborhood armed with a firearm and hatchet. Callers told dispatchers the man was acting in a “bizarre and erratic manner” and they were concerned for their safety as well as the man’s condition.

Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Perris Station responded to the area to search for the man. Officers from Californa Highway Patrol also responded to assist in locating the subject.

When they tried to contact Lourenco, he ran away from them, hiding amongst trees and homes in the area. Officers and deputies confirmed the man was still armed with the gun and a hatchet.

Deputies from several surrounding stations, including Perris, Menifee, and Moreno Valley and officers from CHP and Hemet Police Department spent several hours trying to speak with the armed man and calm his erratic behavior, as they attempted to negotiate a peaceful resolution.

“The suspect refused to relinquish his weapons or surrender,” Vasquez explained. At times, the man charged at officers and deputies while still armed with the two weapons, only to retreat and hide behind trees, shrubbery, buildings and vehicles.

Due to the man’s highly erratic behavior deputies at the scene requested assistance from additional deputies from the surrounding area and officers from Hemet Police Department Two Bearcat armored rescue vehicles were also sent to the location to assist in taking the man into custody.

Despite their efforts at peacefully resolving the incident “negotiations failed when the male pointed a gun in the officers’ direction and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” Vasquez explained.

After he was struck by gunfire and down on the ground, the man was

still in possession of his weapons and was seen moving about.

Due to the man’s previous behavior and the danger to deputies and officers, officials decided to wait for the arrival of the armored rescue vehicles before approaching Lourenco.

Once officials were able to safely approach Lourenco, they quickly determined he succumbed to his injuries, Vasquez said. Lourenco was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, and an officer from the California Highway Patrol have been placed on administrative leave per their Departments’ policies,” according to Vasquez.

Family members of the man who was killed in the shooting have claimed the gun the man had been waving was not real, calling it a “toy.”

Sheriff’s officials have not com-

Shakespeare in the Vines

seasonal opening at Bailys debuts ‘Hamlet’ and his ghosts

Actor Rob Crisell performs as Claudius in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” at Baily Vineyard & Winery, July 14.

Shane Gibson photos

Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

If all the world’s a stage, then Temecula’s wine country is certainly no slouch of a setting.

Shakespeare in the Vines has turned the corner of its 11th season in what could be its permanent home at a storied winery.

The company oozes talent as it draws its audience, actors and advisors from far afield.

It welcomes like family and unfolds in a serene setting where performers are flanked by trailing vines and framed by sunsets and starry skies. Spectators in the front row sit just a few feet from the edge of the stage.

“It’s my heart,” said Sheila Ryle, founder and artistic director of the nonprofit company. “It’s a true labor of love.”

Ryle can easily back up that claim. She hasn’t pocketed a dime since the troupe formed in 2005.

The feeling is infectious, say fans and followers. There was ample evidence of that ambiance at the company’s presentation of “Hamlet,” its second production of the 2016 summer season.

“Hamlet,” which is widely considered Shakespeare’s greatest work, opened July 14 and closes July 30. That will be followed by “Two Gentlemen of Verona” from Aug. 11-27. “Equivocation,” a play about Shakespeare, runs from Sept. 8-24. The fall/winter season will feature “The Lion in Winter” and “Red, White and Bard!” which will be written and performed by Rob Crisell.

Crisell was cast in two Hamlet roles and he penned a press release for the production that led with the words: “To see or not to see Hamlet, that is the question…”

The group touts itself as the only theater company in Riverside County that is dedicated to solely producing works by or about Shakespeare. The subject of hundreds of biographies, Shakespeare was born in 1564. He wrote many of the world’s most popular plays and was part owner of a theater company.

But the local group’s reach exceeds far beyond Riverside County and its wine country tip.

Glowing reviews posted on Yelp. com hail from as far away as La Canada, Carlsbad and San Diego.

Jessica W. from San Diego proclaims, “I love wine and I love theater and I love, love, LOVE this marriage of the two.” Anna R. from Menifee recommends that attendees bring a blanket or warm clothing. She further advises them to, “be prepared to laugh, cry, smile, chuckle and gasp at the fabulous antics and heart-wrenching drama by these seasoned professionals!”

Mary W. is one of the many folks who regularly flow in from Fallbrook for the shows. “We are definitely fans!” she extolled in her August 2015 post on the popular

review website. “Very talented and creative actors, the direction and the whole production is top notch!”

The company’s performers and personalities range from students to stage veterans who have amassed a range of plays and community theater appearances over the years.

Crisell is an attorney and a writer who has been with the group for five years. The Temecula resident has performed in many of the company’s productions and he serves as a visiting Shakespeare instructor at several area schools. His parents live in Fallbrook.

Eric Dunn, Perris city attorney since 2002, has appeared in plays staged in Redlands and other places. The Moreno Valley resident has been active with the company for the past six years and he now serves as its board president.

“I fell in love with the place and the outdoor setting,” Sheila (Ryle) Dunn said.

There is an outdoor chess set with knee-high pieces for theatergoers who dabble at the “game of kings.” Guests can bring their own picnic dinners or carry-in food.

Those who care to linger in wine country can dine at Carol’s restaurant beforehand.

But don’t expect a big budget production with correspondingly high ticket prices. The folding chairs are plastic, shows are rarely canceled due to inclement weather and there are no propane-fueled space heaters.

Tickets cost $22 each for general admission or $30 for a table setting described as “royal reserved preferred seating.” Season tickets range from $80 to $108. Discounted tickets are sold to students, seniors and the military.

The company has a handful of paid positions and it squeezes by on a budget that, if all goes well, could approach $70,000 this year, Ryle said. Building the stage is a big cost, but the setting isn’t.

Ryle describes Baily Vineyard & Winery as the company’s “wonderful” host. After bouncing around for many years, including stints at some noisy, dusty outposts, the group landed at Baily’s last year.

The winery dates to 1986, the pioneer era of Temecula’s fastgrowing wine country. The extended family later opened signature restaurants at the winery and in Old Town.

The winery carved out a hillside for the company and it provides the venue at no charge. It sells wine there for $6 a glass or $24 for a bottle. “We support Shakespeare in the Vines,” said Carol Baily, the family’s matriarch, as she hustled between errands on Hamlet’s opening night. “We think it’s a very, very worthwhile organization,” she added. “We like to do everything we can to further their existence here. We’re just very, very excited that they’re here.”

Baily said she secretly worries that the company, which filled more

than 80 of the 100 or so available seats on Hamlet’s opening night, will someday outgrow the venue.

She paused for a moment when asked what she’ll do if that happens. “If it does, maybe we’ll give them the winery,” she quipped.

In the meantime, enthralling theater fans and Shakespeare supporters remains the company’s mission.

The 11-member cast of “Hamlet” seemed to pull it off, as a standing ovation and enthusiastic applause greeted the actors as opening night came to a close.

“It was marvelous,” Joe Hammer, a resident of Fallbrook’s Silvergate assisted living center, said as he and his wife headed for their car after their first visit to the venue.

Santa Rosa Plateau summer concert series to be accessible for the deaf MURRIETA – Popular six-week summer concerts at the Santa Rosa Plateau will be interpreted in American Sign Language for the deaf. Beginning July 9 and continuing every Saturday until Aug. 13, each concert will be interpreted by Doug Beatty, a retired counselor for the Deaf from the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, and a sought-after, animated and entertaining interpreter.

The six-week concert series is being held in conjunction with the 19th Annual Summer Art Show at the Santa Rosa Plateau “Celebrating Nature through Art and Music.”

Kathy Crabbe will be exhibiting 52 original paintings from her Lefty Oracle Deck at the Riverside Art Museum Aug. 4 to Aug. 7. from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., during Arts Walk.

Crabbe spent this past year on an artistic journey, with 147 other people in a program through the Riverside Art Museum called “The 52 Project.” It was designed to help participants be more creative by setting goals, discovering their story, capturing ideas in a journal and learning about the “business” of art. This summer, those that participated will be sharing the results of the experience with 33 mini four-day exhibits and a group show.

In particular, Crabbe spent her 52-week creative exploration painting and writing daily. She realized that her “Lefty Series” had to be the focus of the exhibit.

“The Leftys are drawn with my non-dominant left hand, and they really changed me,” she said.

“They helped me slow down and trust myself as I learned how to listen for the lines to lead me.”

Crabbe explained that she starts by drawing the head, and from there a character is born often with a totally made up name. She created a Lefty Oracle deck and started giving intuitive soul readings which have, according to the

artist, touched many lives.

“Planning this exhibit has pushed me to finish telling each of the Leftys’ stories and to self-publish a 52-card Lefty Oracle deck along with a guidebook of journal prompts, affirmations and games that I will share during my exhibit,” she said.

Crabbe grew up in Canada and moved to Temecula in 2000 and has worked as a professional artist since 1992. Her art has been exhibited at the San Diego Women’s History Museum, Orange County Museum of Art and Sawdust Art Festival. She has also been published by “We’Moon Datebook” and has mentored and taught at Mt. San Jacinto College, Inspire San Diego Studio, Wise Woman University and HGTV. She is a founding member of the Temecula Artist’s Circle, Temecula Writer’s Cafe and Riverside Art Museum Printmaker’s Network.

Beauty pageant girl represents Temecula in national competitions Paisley Trent VALLEY NEWS INTERN

“What do Harley Davidson, handguns, Girl Scouts and MakeA-Wish® have in common?” This is Laurie Long’s tagline. Long has been a wish granter with Make a Wish for 13 years, and is a local girl scout troop leader. She also works with the Temecula Valley and Murrieta School Districts; encouraging kids to “get out and serve” in an effort to focus on more than an individual person, and be motivated by more than graduation requirements.

Long balances being a stay-at-home mother of six, getting a Bachelor’s of Science in Business and hundreds of hours of community service, in addition to competing in beauty pageants.

Laurie Long was recently the first runner up at Mrs. CaliforniaAmerica, allowing her to participate in the “National 1 st Runner Up Competition.” People are able to vote for her in this competition for $2.50, with all proceeds going to Victory’s Voice, a non-profit campaign to keep kids off drugs. If she wins that competition, she’ll be eligible for Mrs. America and go on to Mrs. World. As first runner up in Mrs. California-America, whether or not she wins, she will be able to go to Mrs.World, representing the Temecula-Murrieta area.

Though there are many expectations or common thoughts associated with pageantry, Laurie seems to shatter these stereotypes, as a mother of six, owner of numerous guns and student with a 3.95 GPA getting her bachelor’s in business. In regards to her seemingly unexpected interests, she feels she has space “as a woman and [her] husband’s wife to like Harley’s and handguns” and that “it’s okay to be a grease monkey and turn stereotypes on their heads.” Her gender does not denote what she’s allowed to pursue nor limit her passions as she declares her mantra for “reinvention of convention.”

“Women are expected to look hot, and take care of their family,” she said. “I also want to have an education, be strong, have presence in the business world, and politics.”

At 14 years old she began participating in pageants and won Teen USA in 1991, though she never considered herself that “kind of girl.” After taking a few years off, she began competing again after getting married and then taking a ten-year hiatus. She started to participate in 2014.

Long is very close to her “pageant sisters,” feeling that they understand each other on a different level. She was actually close friends with the winner of the recent pageant to which she took

first runner up. Laurie feels these pageants are driven by experienced and determined women dedicated to making the world a better place.

They serve their community and want to improve their lives and those around them. Despite the few catty contestants and glamour girls, Laurie thinks pageants aren’t deserving of the bad reputation and press they often receive.

Most pageants involve four phases of competition: swimsuit, personal interview with each judge, overall beauty and evening gown. Laurie’s personal favorites are the personal interview and onstage questions asked to the final contestants. Her least favorite is evening gown, as the formal air can feel like putting a “cap on [her] personality and high energy.” She does enjoy the swimsuit competition, as it gives people an opportunity to see how confident the contestants are. She sees the swimsuit category as a judgment based off the confidence of one’s self and body, rather than the assumed “body type.” Winners for swimsuit typically have the “most magnitude and best character” in her opinion, giving people hope towards how women feel about their bodies.

A message she feels is important to share with young girls, women and mothers such as herself is to “embrace what makes you different, your challenges in life, your

‘Dorland at the Brandon’ brings Valley artists to Fallbrook Tony Ault WRITER

Associated artists with the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony took the opportunity to show off their latest art creations, recite passages from their original poems and read from their latest publications Saturday, July 9 at the Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook.

The board of directors of the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony nestled in the foothills above Temecula off Highway 79 invited artists from many venues from throughout the Temecula Valley and Fallbrook area to join with them at the “Dorland at the Brandon” event in Fallbrook as a part of their newest outreach program.

“We are all juried artists here,” Janice Cipriani-Willis, resident executive director of Dorland Mountain Art Colony, said. “We want to showcase all our associated artists here at Brandon. We want to show their work to the community and have Dorland connect with Fallbrook.”

The Brandon Gallery, located at 105 N. Main Street, in Fallbrook is managed by Dorland Board member Noreen Ring who gave a short presentation about the gallery and some of her own art work and poetry. “We have about 40 associate artists at our gallery here... It’s more of a cooperative effort,” Ring said.

She said the Dorland at the Brandon was one way of expanding the colony’s outreach to other regional cities. The Dorland Art associates have the opportunity to stay at the colony headquarters for days or weeks at a time so they can concentrate on improving their art. The Dorland Associated Artists, are all “juried,” or those that have competed, shown or published their works either online or publically in their respective venues.

At Dorland, accomplished artists are welcome no matter what their venues are. Musicians, painters, visual artists, writers and photographers have visited the colony that currently provides two furnished cabins, work areas and a measure of solitude under a canvas of live oak trees, ponds and the general beauty of peace and nature at nominal prices. A piano is available for musicians with the promise of a new grand piano on the horizon.

For aspiring artists, the Dorland artists occasionally will offer limited classes in watercolors, plein air, oil painting and other venues at the colony. We don’t have any right now,” Cipraiani-Willis told one of the guests. “But, we may have later.”

Other artists visiting the Dorland at the Brandon Saturday evening were invited to join other members of the nonprofit Dorland Mountain Arts Colony. Curtis Horton, president of the Dorland board, welcomed guests and invited them to read, show or explain their works.

Associate members like Steven Eldred, a musician and photographer, attended the event. Eldred played a number of his own guitar compositions.

John Grey, author of the recently published “If I Die Thursday,” read a passage from his book to an appreciative audience.

Odessa Cleveland read three of her newest poems and showed several of her mosaic art works.

David McQuain talked about how he enjoyed embossing prints, showing several and his other scratch board art pieces.

Barbara Perryman showed a very colorful portrait of a face entitled “My Hope for the Future.”

Kathy Stradley, a new associate, said she was pleased with being a member of Dorland and showed sev-

eral landscape paintings, including a plein air landscape of Lake Skinner.

“I love to paint at Lake Skinner,” she said.

An ex-Marine and caretaker at the colony Michael Carrier, invited to the microphone shyly gave a reading of a life experience when he was a cab driver. He described how he saved the life of an accident victim. “There is nothing better than saving a human life,” he said.

Dorland Mountain Arts Colony was founded in 1979 by Concert Pianist Ellen Dorland and Environmentalist Barbara Horton. Solitary cottages provide studio and living facilities within the Dorland Preserve, a 300-acre wilderness area acquired

by The Nature Conservancy. Dorland Mountain Arts Colony is a nonprofit organization. Its purpose is to deepen the quality of the creative process, enabling its residents to explore

their own creative resources without distraction. Residency Applications are reviewed monthly.

Hanging loose with your favorite California girl doesn’t seem like something you’d typically do in the Temecula wine country, but Gershon Bachus Vintners Win Clique members got to do exactly that July 23 during Surfin’ Through the Vines.

The clique-only event married together California staples – the beach, great weather and fantastic wine. Surf boards dotted the winery and cutouts of bikini-clad and muscle-men bodies were happily used by guests. Normally the summer heat makes spending time outside in Temecula difficult, but a lovely breeze floated in just as the sun began to drop, making the weather perfect for being outdoors and sipping a glass of wine.

To start off the celebration at the winery, guests were given prosecco and passed hors d’oeuvres like lobster crab croquettes, bacon-wrapped dates and mushroom strudel. Even though this was a laid back event, guests didn’t forget that winery owners Ken and Christina Falik love to pamper and provide a quality experience.

Sorrel Bistro provided both appetizers and the meal, which was a choice of pork tenderloin with a cherry glaze or albacore tuna with all the trimmings. Each couple attending the event was given a bottle of their choice of wine to enjoy at the table as well, with white wine being served chilled (in a sand pail, of course).

Guests chose from some of Gershon Bachus favorites, including some clique exclusives like Aeolus, a cab Franc, Grenache and Zin blend; or the VVR, a villa vino rosso Sangiovese.

To truly make this event a summer party, the doors to Gershon Bachus Vintners were flung open and the fun

really began. This clique event made it clear that to be a part of this wine club, one mustn’t take themselves too seriously, but love a good time with great folk. This is a place for friends to celebrate great times.

“This is a great way to celebrate the summer,” said Christin. “You can almost hear the waves. Actually, we’ve got the beach onstage!”

It’s true, the winery’s stage had a beach backdrop, which suited band

Surf Up perfectly as they played Beach Boys favorites. As soon as the band started to play familiar tunes, the dance floor was packed out. The Faliks danced along with their guests, cheering as their favorite songs played.

Gershon Bachus Vintners is located at 37750 De Portola Road in Temecula. For more information on the winery or on joining the wine club, go to www.gershonbachus.com.

The Andrews’ experience with their furry family member, led them to find a way to help families help their pets.

Tony Ault WRITER

Pat and Oscar Sarkisian and their fine family Italian and pizza restaurant, Pat and Oscar’s, were honored by both the city of Temecula and the Temecula Chamber of Commerce during their 20th Anniversary Celebration July 20.

Accepting the honors were Pat and Oscar, their daughter Tammy Moore, who now operates the Temecula restaurant, and their new General Manager Gerardo “Cha” Chavarin.

Pat and Oscar’s Restaurant at 29375 Rancho California Road is just above the city’s Duck Pond and Veterans Memorial park. The popular restaurant has been a landmark in the city since it was first established in 1991.

Tammy Moore told the invited guests to the anniversary celebration that her parents, Pat and Oscar who originally owned a store in San Diego, “fell in love with the Temecula Duck Pond and wanted to build a restaurant here.”

The Sarkisians operated 20 restaurants in San Diego and Riverside counties by the year 2000. The Temecula restaurant became one of the most popular family restaurants in Temecula. In 2000, then the Sarkisians announced the sale of the company, but kept the rights to the Pat and Oscar’s name and famous breadsticks. After that the new owners changed some of the chain’s names in San Diego to O’s American Kitchen and the menus began to run into problems, Moore said.

After the company changed hands several times and was forced to close some of its restaurants, it fell into bankruptcy. The Sarkisians, not

wanting to see their legacy lost, and urged by their main food supplier Cisco Foods, repurchased most of the company in 2012 through the bankruptcy courts, according to Moore.

Moore said it took three and onehalf years to settle the bankruptcy.

She said O’s Restaurants did not follow the original Pat and Oscar’s standards and went off the original recipes that contained no preservatives and ended up approximately $4.9 million in debt. Five of the O’s were closed.

Now, although Pat and Oscar have turned over the business to their daughter, the couple still spends two to three hours a week in the Temecula store working and making sure the food quality and service are being maintained by the staff.

The Temecula restaurant has since, with the help of the Sarkisian’s daughter, son-in-law and new management, come back to its original popularity. City officials and chamber members expressed their pleasure and thanks in having the family and restaurant back in the city during the event July 20.

Enjoying a delicious Pat and Oscars lemon chicken buffet at the anniversary were Temecula City Manager Aaron Adams, assistant city manager Greg Butler and other city officials. The Chamber, who sponsored the “eat and greet,” at the anniversary had in attendance Alice Sullivan, president and CEO, Laura Turbow, operations director, other officers and members.

“My parents always owned the building,” Moore pointed out. She said their breadsticks and other menu items are under the Pat and Oscar’s

name. The remaining San Diego O’s American Restaurants and Pat and Oscar’s still contract with the Sarkisian family for their breadsticks and other name brand foods and must maintain their standards.

Today, Moore said Pat and Oscar’s is a quick and casual restaurant that provides what they call “Freedom Dining.” She said when hungry customers come into the large restaurant they make their order at the counter from the large menu, find their own table, of which there are more than 100, sit down and are quickly served.

There is no tipping required at the restaurant, “but customers may if they wish. It is always welcomed,” she said.

At the anniversary, Moore announced that Gerardo Chaverin is the restaurant’s new general manager.

Chaverin said his first change will be to cross-train each of the employees so they know every job in the restaurant. Well, he knows every job, having worked his way through the ranks since he first joined the restaurant 20 years ago as a dishwasher. He makes sure that every dirty plate is carefully washed and dried by hand and the foods are carefully prepared and served.

“My goal and Gerardos’ goal,” said Moore, “is all about customer service.”

The core values of Pat and Oscar’s employees is, “Fun, family, passion and excellence!”

Pat and Oscar’s has long been a contributor to Temecula Valley families through providing on-the-job training in restaurant skills for needy high school students and adults and

have hired some of the trainees. Pat and Oscar’s three times a year invites school students for tours and free meals and a free lunch to Blood Bank donors. They were sponsors in the recent Reality Rally raising money for Michelle’s Place, Temecula’s Family First program, the Great Oak High School baseball team and other special programs.

The restaurant provides a large menu of Italian foods and pizzas including their latest entry, a skewered chicken plate, for in-house dining, take out or some deliveries. They also provide catering services that can be ordered through Catering and Office Manager Kaela Plyler at (951) 695-2422.

Individual meal orders range from $10.99 pizzas to a large plate of

baby-backed ribs for $15.99. Meals can also be ordered for two, four, six, or eight people that include Greek or Caesar salad and breadsticks ranging from $23.99 to $50.99. There are Pat and Oscar’s Kids Meals, Panini sandwiches, soups and A’La Carte items on the menu. Sides and desserts are offered as well.

There are two large private banquet rooms seating more than 100 guests and an open windowed dining area overlooking the Duck Pond. Pat and Oscar’s also has an outdoor dining area on the patio.

Audi dealership hits high gear in Temecula

New car dealer will be the 17th in city’s auto hub Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

The rhythmic thumps of a concrete pump truck on Temecula’s northern flank were music to the ears of city officials as they recently marked the start of work on the 17th new car dealership within their boundary.

The ceremony to preview the arrival of an Audi dealership marked another milestone in Temecula’s march toward regional sales tax dominance. That revenue edge, which Temecula has maintained since it became a city, is crucial as municipal budgets are increasingly stretched by infrastructure, maintenance and public safety costs.

The July 13 event also marked a new notch in Temecula’s belt as it seeks to become a magnet for high-end shoppers. For the incoming auto dealership, the ribbon cutting signaled the entry of a longtime Carlsbad company into the fastgrowing southwest Riverside County marketplace.

“We’re really excited to be here,” said Ted Hoehn, whose family traces its automobile roots to 1928 in Tennessee. For years, Hoehn Motors had its eye on the 4.5-acre site that overlooks Interstate 15, he said.

“It’s going to be stunning and perfectly sized,” Hoehn said. “We’re so thrilled. We’re over the moon about it.”

The Audi dealership will be the company’s first outside the city of Carlsbad, and the new product will be added to a portfolio that includes Acura, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.

The tab for the project is expected to total $20 million in land and construction costs. Its payroll is expected to swell to 65 workers, several of them members of the Hoehn family, within six months of its opening early next year.

Work began on the project at the end of May, seven months after it was approved by city planning commissioners. Concrete block walls were taking shape at the time of the ground-breaking ceremony, which attracted about 45 people to the site not far from the intersection at Ynez Road and Temecula Center Drive.

The 37,500-square foot complex will be 32-feet tall at its highest point. The facility’s “jewel box” showroom will take advantage of its prominent location alongside the freeway.

When it begins operations, Audi will operate directly south of a Mercedes-Benz dealership that opened about two years ago. City officials have reported that the Mercedes-Benz dealership sold more than 1,500 cars – sales revenue that exceeded $92 million – in its first year of operation.

The two dealers are more than a mile from Temecula’s main cluster of auto dealers. They are tucked into a corner of the commercial portion of the Harveston planned community that has sprouted along Temecula’s northern boundary.

That 1,921-home subdivision, which surrounds a man-made lake, was approved by the Temecula City Council in August 2001.

All of Harveston’s residential areas have been built, but a large chunk of its commercial land remains va-

cant, said Luke Watson, Temecula’s community services director. City officials hope that the new dealerships will attract more of their kind to that area.

Temecula currently has 16 dealers that sell new motor vehicles and 29 that sell used vehicles, according to city officials. That’s more than the combined number of dealerships in Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Wildomar.

The importance of Temecula’s car dealers to its workforce and sales tax base is frequently underscored by city officials. The council has formed a subcommittee that has the sole purpose of luring luxury car dealers to the city.

Because of its location and other factors, Temecula emerged as a retailing hub before waves of rapid growth began sweeping over the region. Numerous car dealers were thriving in the community when Temecula became a city in December 1989 with about 27,000 residents.

The fledgling city maintained its regional dominance as it attracted more car dealers, new shopping centers and a regional mall.

Those dealerships helped fuel a broadening stream of sales tax revenues that aided in the construction of road and freeway improvements, parks, community centers, museums and a string of other amenities. The city’s population is currently approaching 110,000, and it is expected to someday total about 150,000 residents.

Sales and use taxes are expected to exceed $31 million during the current fiscal year, which makes that revenue category the largest funding source for Temecula. Those taxes will total about 30 percent of the city’s $69.4 million operations budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

Sales tax revenue dwarfs the city’s second largest funding source – property taxes – which pay for about 11 percent of its operating costs.

Sales and use tax receipts have grown along with the city. Temecula exceeds its surrounding area as well as the county and state in per capita sales tax revenue, according to city materials.

Because of the time needed to construct and open the Audi dealership, Temecula doesn’t expect to reap a large windfall of sales taxes from the project in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Greg Butler, assistant city manager.

California has a 7.5 percent sales tax, and voters have approved a ½ cent tax to fund county road improvements. Temecula receives 1 percent of the total collected.

Tapping new sources of sales tax has been a high priority for Temecula for many years. Those efforts have intensified as the city ages and grapples with flat revenues, skyrocketing public safety costs, aging city infrastructure and a stretched workforce.

Tri-State Materials announces improvements WINCHESTER – Tri-State Materials in Winchester has been selling landscape materials to an array of customers in Southern California for 13 years. All the while maintaining competitive pricing and friendly customer service. The yard spans 10 acres stocked full of bulk materials, consisting of over one hundred types of landscape supplies, block and construction products.

In 2015, the team got together to begin improvements on the successful business. The improvements include and expansive sample area, new landscaping and a new store front, all of which display items available to the customer.

The sample area was done to show customers how some products look when installed. There are Country Manor block walls surrounding the sample area. These blocks are manufactured by Orco, as well as the pavers that span the ground. Enclosed by these beautiful

pavers and block walls is a display of all the materials available to order for a multitude of landscape projects. Leading the way into the office are Matted Flagstone by East West Stone and exposed aggregate concrete done with different pebbles and glass.

Another improved section at Tri-State Materials is the freshly done landscape. The walk-through landscaping leads up to the new office and is full of drought-friendly ideas. It shows the customer some of the types of decomposed granite, flagstone and decorative rock available. This beautiful landscaping surrounds an enormous water feature and pond that makes for great inspiration.

One of the most drastic changes was the removal of the old office trailer and the opening of the new office store front. On Monday, June 20, the old trailer was hauled away and customers were welcomed into the new office, which is much

roomier. Inside, tools are available for purchase and on display are Lion Grills, American Fireglass and East West veneer panels.

Everyone at Tri-State Materials is very excited for all the improvements and hope the customers enjoy the enhanced local landscape supply yard. None of it would have been possible without the help of a few special teams that came together for this yearlong project. A special thanks goes out to Master’s Landscape who provided droughtfriendly landscaping, Prime Design Pavers for the paver display, Hector Castillo for the block walls, DRL Construction for concrete, Jim Nelson for block walls, Green Bee for Alumawood cover, Columbia Water Gardens for the new pond and water features, Pro Lawn for artificial turf, The Palapa Guy for Palapa Patio covers and Rock & Waterfalls for the artificial rock work.

The tax lady: Guide for new employers Karyn Vaughn, E.A. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The day comes for new business owners when they must hire their first employee. This can be an exciting turning point, but also an intimidating experience. I get many calls from business owners wondering what they must do to become an employer. It is a very good question considering the maze of rules. Many employers even take the first step themselves, applying for their federal Employer Identification Number. They then receive the cryptic Circular E, Employer’s Tax Guide from IRS and really have some questions. Being an employer is no simple matter. There are many rules and stiff fines for failure to comply.

Applying for your federal and state ID numbers, getting a Worker’s Compensation Policy lined up, completing all necessary paperwork with your new employee, filing new hire forms – you are on your way. All of this is done before your employee has worked the first hour.

When your first payday arrives, you must calculate the correct pay, then figure the taxes to be withheld and pay those over to the government at the required time (these rules vary

by the size of your payroll). The same withholding and report filing requirements apply whether you have one employee or one thousand.

The most important advice I can offer you is to be very careful in withholding taxes correctly and do not get behind on turning over these taxes. Remember – this is not your money. It belongs to IRS, the State and your employee. Failure to turn over these “trust fund taxes” is a serious matter and the penalty can be 100 percent. You will also be required to file a variety of quarterly and annual reports. Getting assistance is highly recommended here, be it payroll software, a payroll service or your accountant. If you use payroll software, be sure you are thoroughly familiar with your deposit requirements. The software will calculate withholding and deposits, but may not assist with timing issues.

Not only is this process complex, but it is also expensive. The new employer can budget about 12 percent of the employee’s gross pay in additional taxes, not including the Worker’s Compensation Insurance, which can vary widely (as little as 1 percent or as much as 50 percent of wages) based upon the job being done. A word of caution here: do not let fear of the cost and complexity of

payroll lure you into the other trap of misclassifying your employees as subcontractors. You will be in a worse position if you run afoul of those rules; watch my next column for that subject.

I have only scratched the surface of this complex subject, but I hope it will give you a start if you are a new employer. Most employers are so afraid of compliance failure that it’s worth the peace of mind to have it done by a professional and guaranteed correct. Every year, IRS issues millions of employment tax-related penalties for billions of dollars. A word to new employers: if you educate yourself on the rules and comply carefully, you have nothing to fear. Congratulations on your growing business.

Market gridlock continues in most of SW Riverside County MURRIETA – The Temecula Valley office of Lee & Associates, the largest broker-owned commercial real estate firm in North America, has released its second quarter 2016 Southwest Riverside Industrial Market Report.

According to the report, which was prepared by Caroline Payan, director of marketing and research of Lee & Associates Riverside County offices, the majority of Southwest Riverside County’s industrial real estate market remains stagnant as a result of near zero vacancy, little new construction and anemic absorption. The overall industrial vacancy rate for Southwest Riverside, which is made up

of the cites of Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet, San Jacinto, Romoland, Homeland, Anza, Aguanga, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Sun City, Lake Elsinore and Menifee, stands at 1.12 percent.

The year-to-date for 2016 absorption appears reasonable when compared to both 2014s and 2015s performances. However, Southwest Riverside County’s figures are becoming skewed by the Bix Box distribution market in Perris, which a single industrial building can exceed one million-square-feet in size.

“At the current rate, Temecula Valley, Murrieta and Temecula, are on pace to reach 26 percent of the

average square footage absorbed in 2014 and 2015. The dramatic drop in absorption is a direct result of a severe supply shortage of available buildings, which since 2013, has absorbed all of the vacant industrial space from 2009 to 2012,” said Charley Black, senior vice president of Lee & Associates Temecula Valley office.

What you can do to increase your home value made. While it can be a bit more expensive to open up a home’s interior, the benefits and appeal it will have to potential buyers is staggering.

Market your home for sale When it comes time to sell your home, you’ll want to maximize the improvements you’ve made and make every potential buyer aware of each. You’ll want to show off all of your hard work and capital improvements you’ve made. It’s important that every potential buyer who either comes to your home to preview it or is just surfing the Internet is aware of everything you’ve done to the place. You’ll want to have a real estate agent® representing you that will provide marketing

John Occhi & Mike Mason SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Considering a home improvement either to make the home more suitable to your family’s needs or because you are looking to add value before you sell your home, you’ll certainly want to investigate what impact your improvements will have on the value of your home.

Not every home improvement project adds value to your home and many projects that are undertaken do not add value equal to the cost of the project. We are often asked, “What are the best low-cost home renovations we can make that will make our home more comfortable while adding the biggest bang for the buck?”

First consider the ‘bones’ While cosmetic improvements are always the most exciting as they leave a visual impact with the buyer, the ‘bones’ of the home are critical. The interior systems of your home are often referred to as ‘the bones.’ By interior systems, we are referring to both structural and mechanical elements that when combined make a house. Heating, plumbing and electrical are the basic mechanical elements of the bones. Buyers today are looking for turn-key homes and typically are not looking to invest into a home that will require any repairs, upgrades or replacements after the purchase is complete.

and not a viable substitute for wood floors. Remember, please, if you want top dollar from the sale of your home the buyer is going to want top-end materials used throughout the home. You will when you go shopping for a new home, so give your potential buyers the same experience.

The kitchen is the very heart and soul of your home. Anything you can do to improve your kitchen will undoubtedly improve the value of your home. There are many minor projects you can take on that will add to the overall appeal and warmth of the kitchen. Start with a fresh coat of paint.

Consider new flooring, especially if you have vinyl or laminate. Tile is always best in the kitchen.

Just like in the bathroom, consider new plumbing and lighting fixtures to give the room a more modern and contemporary look. New kitchen cabinets are always nice, but if it’s not in the budget then look into resurfacing the existing cabinet doors and drawer faces. This is much less expensive and will go a great distance at changing the overall appearance of the kitchen. Of course you can sand down the cabinets yourself and add either a cost of paint or stain, giving them a new look. While this is a very labor-intense project, it is relatively inexpensive.

A very affordable trick is to replace the drawer pulls and cabinet knobs – this simple project is both quick and inexpensive and can go a long way at adding a new personality to a tired and worn room.

Today’s buyers almost always expect granite countertops (or some other solid surface – never tile or linoleum) and they are one of the projects that will return with the highest offers for your home.

Open floor Plan: Fewer homes today are typically built with an ‘open floor plan’ or a floor plan that does not have interior walls defining individual rooms in the home. An open floor plan will create a flow throughout the home which in turn makes the home feel larger and offer move line of site throughout the home. Perfect for both family living, and entertaining.

If you have an older home, consider removing one or several interior walls. Of course, you’ll have to pull permits for this and verify that you’re not disturbing a load bearing wall. Electrical and plumbing considerations may also have to be

Patterson Ave.

Remember that curb appeal is all about first impressions – many times a potential buyer will just drive by a home that does not speak to them, from the curb (or worse the pictures used online to market you home).

Interior living space needs attention as well: Your home interior is where you live and want to feel both secure and comfortable. There are many things to consider when choosing which project to take on. Even if your plan is to stay long term in your home, try and look at each potential project as a buyer would, coming through the house for the first time – what will their reaction be?

Bathroom Improvements: Some will argue that the bathrooms are the most important room(s) in the house when it comes time to sell. No one wants to buy a home that is perceived to have a grungy bathroom. There are a number of inexpensive replacement projects you can take on that will help give the bathroom some zing.

For under $100, you should be able to find a nice spa-style shower head. It’s amazing how everyone notices a nice shower head when looking at a home they are considering to buy.

Redo the bathroom floor with a neutral color tile for maximum resale value. Replace those dated plumbing and light fixtures. You’ll be amazed at how far a couple of hundred dollars can go in making a total transformation in this important room in your home.

While you’re at it, spend just a few dollars more and replace those dated towel bars and paper holders as well. If there is a window, then don’t forget the window treatment. Of course, you’ll want a fresh coat of paint and this room is set.

Flooring: The first thing anyone notices when they enter a home is the flooring, after all everyone looks where they walk, right? What do your floors say, “I am tired, I am wornout, I am beat up”? Well, then it’s time for an upgrade.

The kitchen and bathrooms are two of the most important floors in the home. They should NEVER be carpet or wood (water and wood just don’t go well together). Tile is always the best. Rip out that linoleum and tile it if you want to add value and appeal to a potential buyer.

About a decade ago, laminate flooring was the new hot thing in homes. Today they are common

Winchester Rd.

Start with exterior repairs and replacements Many times Repair and Replacement projects can increase the value of your home more than an interior remodeling project. Repairing and replacing projects can also be the least expensive type of project and not break the bank.

Roof: In an older home, if the roof needs to be replaced, then you’ll want to replace it before you try and sell it. On the other hand, replacing a roof is expensive; if there are still several years of life left in those old shingles, don’t replace the roof yet.

Windows and Doors: The front door, garage door, your windows and even you’re siding should all be considered as worthwhile renovations. Today’s modern windows and doors offer both curb appeal and increased energy efficiency, making them a sound investment.

These improvements are not only efficient but the added curb appeal will help sell your home quickly, as well.

Landscaping: Your home does not need to look like it belongs on a magazine cover to have curb appeal. What it does require is a neat, well-manicured lawn, free from weeds. Add seasonal flowers to the planter areas and make sure any shrubbery is trimmed and looking good. Consider replacing it with a new flowering variety of shrubbery.

Add colored bark or stone to planter areas, keeping them looking clean and fresh.

materials that will show off exactly what you’ve accomplished. The improvements you’ve made will influence the price you ultimately sell your home for so it’s critical to showcase this to a buyer and influence them to decide what they will pay for your home.

TEMECULA – Rising energy costs coupled with the continued adoption of eco-friendly lifestyles are two factors driving homeowners to seek ways to reduce energy consumption in their homes. Reducing energy consumption is reason enough for many homeowners to make changes around the house, but saving energy sometimes means saving substantial amounts of money as well.

Energy-efficient appliances and eco-friendly building materials can help homeowners reduce energy consumption. But homeowners looking for additional ways to cut cooling and heating costs can address air leaks around the house to make their homes more energy efficient.

Identify air leaks around windows and doorways. Autumn is a great time of year to identify air leaks. Fall, and particularly late fall, tends to be characterized by cold air that makes it easy to detect

I placed an ad in the business directory in both Village News and Valley News. I have had many calls for concrete work, and a couple big jobs in Fallbrook and one big one in Temecula. I am very happy with the results and am now doing a few display ads too.

air leaks. Feel for leaks around windows and doorways, ideally conducting such tests on cold, windy days when you can quickly detect if air is flowing in from the outside. Leaks around windows and doors waste energy because the interior of the home is either colder (in the winter) or warmer (in the summer) than it needs to be, prompting homeowners to turn up their thermostats or rely more heavily on air conditioning units.

Look for leaks elsewhere around the house. While windows and doorways are where many leaks are found, leaks also may be found around plumbing, electrical fixtures and dryer vents. Inspect such areas by feeling for drafts or looking for signs that insects and critters might

Though they are often easy to overlook, driveways are durable parts of a home that can greatly impact a home’s curb appeal. Driveways endure quite a bit of wear and tear over their lifespans, and homeowners who have not given their driveways much thought may want to start looking for potential trouble signs that indicate a need for some driveway maintenance.

According to the online home improvement resource HomeAdvisor. com, the average cost of a driveway installation in 2015 was just under $3,700. Those costs are influenced by a host of factors, including the size of the driveway and the material it’s made of. Damaged driveways do not necessarily need to be replaced, as some may just need minor repairs.

But homeowners who see any of

when you are not cooking. Kitchen exhaust fans can help prevent fires and unfavorable indoor air conditions when preparing meals at home. But such fans provide opportunities for air to enter a home, so make sure they are tightly closed or covered when no one is cooking in the kitchen.

Air leaks around a house can waste energy and contribute to high energy bills, particularly during the winter and summer when temperatures outside tend to be at their most extreme. Homeowners looking to reduce their energy consumption and save money can inspect various areas of their homes for air leaks and immediately address any they discover.

be entering.

Look up and down. Evidence of air leaks may be noticeable on both the floor and the ceiling. Dirty spots on carpeting and the ceiling may be indicative of air leaks at interior wall/ceiling joints and wall/floor joists. Fixing such leaks may be as simple as applying some caulk.

Go with gaskets. The United States Department of Energy recommends installing foam gaskets behind outlet and switch plates on walls. Outlets and switch boxes on exterior walls provide another place for air to leak into a home and drive up energy costs. Properly installed gaskets can cut back on air infiltration, providing an inexpensive way to save energy and money.

the following trouble signs in their driveways may want to consult a professional contractor to determine what their next steps should be.

Potholes Potholes might be most often associated with heavily trafficked roadways, but even driveways are susceptible to potholes. As the ground beneath the driveway expands and contracts, the pavement above that ground weakens and becomes more susceptible to damage. That damage may ultimately lead to large chunks of the driveway breaking down, creating holes as a result. Homeowners who live in areas that experience heavy snowfall may see their driveways develop potholes after they are shoveled or plowed. Potholes that are not fixed may damage vehicles that drive on the pavement, and potholes may even expand over time.

Accumulation of water Puddles that form during a rainstorm may not be indicative of anything other than a rainy day. But water that pools or runs down the middle of the driveway may indicate drainage problems. Such problems may be the result of structural problems with the slope of the driveway, which can cause bigger issues down the road. When water is not absorbed into the ground or directed away from your home, it can then flow into the house, potentially making your garage or home susceptible to water damage.

Cracks Cracking is one of the more noticeable issues that can plague driveways.

Surface cracks in a driveway may indicate a problem that requires immediate attention. Courtesy photo

Many driveways experience cracking as materials inevitably succumb to the elements. Driveway cracks may develop for various reasons, including poor initial installation. Tree roots that grow beneath the driveway surface may also contribute to cracking as the driveways ultimately succumb to the pressure created by the growing roots.

Some cracks may prove less problematic than others, but homeowners should still speak with a contractor if they notice their driveway is starting to succumb to cracks.

Driveways may not draw the attention of homeowners too often, but damaged driveways that go ignored may ultimately lead to very costly problems.
