The city of Temecula announced it broke ground on the Temecula Parkway Interchange Expansion project, now in its second month, during an interchange project information meeting, July 24. Construction demolished the Arco-AM/PM gas station and convenience store on the southwest corner of Temecula Parkway and Old Town Front Street, June 13. The planned southbound loop offramp would not cut through the Arco, but would rather block one of two driveways; ultimately, the city and the business reached an agreement for the gas station and convenience store to be bought out. Construction is in the process

of clearing trees and brush and constructing a retaining wall on the northbound on-ramp as well as restriping northbound lanes on Interstate 15. The relocation of utilities and sewer lines is slated to begin soon. The preparation and construction of retaining walls began Thursday, July 27, for an anticipated three to four days from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. All roads will remain open, and the California Highway Patrol will be monitoring traffic flows. Thus far, the city has worked on communicating with stakeholders such as emergency responders, police departments, California Highway Patrol, school transportation and administration, local transit, traffic

French Valley jail re-named after respected retired sheriff

The Southwest Detention Center has been renamed after Cois M. Byrd, a retired Riverside County Sheriff who was responsible for opening the law enforcement complex many years ago. Courtesy photo

Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Southwest Detention Center in French Valley now has a new name and a fitting one. After the July 25 meeting of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, suspects in southwest Riverside County will now be booked at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center. Byrd, a Riverside Polytechnic High School graduate who served as Riverside County’s 10th sheriff from 1986-1994, was instrumental in having the jail, adjoining court-

house and sheriff’s station built in the first place, a press release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said. Byrd said it was an honor to have the jail – the justice center itself will keep its name – christened after him. “Somebody talked about death, previously, that frequently things aren’t named after people until they’re dead, and I’m kind of glad that I’m still here,” Byrd – whose first name rhymes with “choice” – said. “Especially for my two children, they’re enjoying it.” He said “after all these years,” it’s

an interesting feeling, and a little bit of an ego boost. Byrd has been retired from the sheriff’s department for 22 years. Coincidentally, that is the same number of years he’d been alive when he first became a deputy in 1958, he said. “I recognize that recognitions, all of them, are pretty fleeting,” Byrd, now 80, said. “But it is nice that they would go back that far and recognize somebody from the past.” To many though, Byrd isn’t just “somebody from the past.” “I have known him personally throughout my law enforcement career, as I rose through the ranks in various assignments,” current Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff said. “In fact, he sat on my hire interview as a new deputy, and I was lucky enough to directly work for him as a staff assistant for several years as a newly promoted Sheriff’s lieutenant when he served as Sheriff. Cois has been a friend, confidant and mentor to many of us that have emerged over the years in the senior leadership positions of the Sheriff’s Department.” In the proposal to name the jail after Byrd, Supervisor Chuck Washington recognized Byrd for his dedication to inmate rehabilitation, his work in ensuring deputies had firearms to match those of the criminals they were up against and many other accomplishments. “As sheriff, he exemplified what it means to be a professional in the evolving and challenging field of law enforcement,” Washington said in the proposal. “Therefore, it is only fitting and proper that the Southwest Detention Center be renamed in his honor.” Byrd said by telephone Saturday that what is now the Southwest Justice Center was built on land sold to the county by the Borel family – the namesakes for a road in the area – at a heavily discounted rate.

Temecula plans first Emergency Management Business Continuity Summit TEMECULA – The city of Temecula’s Emergency Management Division and the Temecula Valley Entrepreneur’s Exchange cordially invites the public to the city’s first Emergency Management Business Continuity Summit. The summit will be held 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Temecula Civic Center, 41000 Main St. The fun-filled day will feature

keynote speakers, panel discussions, exhibitions and vendors. Visitors are encouraged to learn and to discuss what to do should a catastrophic event strike the community. Topics include business continuity, before, during and after an emergency, the role of business owners and public officials during an emergency, preparedness for cyber-related attacks and many more.

This event is free to the public; a free continental breakfast and lunch is also included. Seating is limited, so residents s h o u l d r e g i s t e r a t w w w. temeculaemergency.eventbrite. com. For more information or questions, contact Robert Cardenas, city risk manager, at 951-693-3944.

Because of his family’s involvement with the road department, Byrd said it was something he knew he did not want to do. “I always wanted to work for the sheriff’s department, because it paid $395 a month when I started in 1959. It was a little bit more than what the road department paid, but not much,” Byrd said. And to this day, he’s still very much involved in the sheriff’s department as a volunteer historian. Byrd said having the jail named after him, though he’s grateful for it, is still going to take a little bit of getting used to. “I read in the paper, two days later, there was an arrest over in Elsinore of some people that were stealing from the city yard and the newspaper article said they were taken to the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center,” Byrd said. “And I thought, ‘Oh, I’m probably going to have to see that often in the newspaper now.’”

At first, some judges in Riverside were privately skeptical of building the jail, Byrd said. “And I explained to them,” Byrd said, “Well, our projections are that there’s going to be major growth in the southwest county, the entire region. And we need this out here.” He was right. Three decades after the Southwest Justice Center was first proposed, formerly rural southwest Riverside County, now has a population in the hundreds of thousands. Byrd said he’s quite proud that both the Southwest Justice Center and the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, constructed during his time as sheriff, came in on budget. Byrd is not the only person in his family with a background in public service. His father worked over three decades with the Riverside County Road Department, as it was called then. His brother clocked over four decades with the same agency.

Western Municipal Water District considers spinning off part of Murrieta’s water service area Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Western Municipal Water District held an informational meeting at the Murrieta Community Center Wednesday, July 26, on a proposal to split off its Murrieta customers to a different water district. The agency has begun studying proposals to spin off its Murrieta section, which was previously the Murrieta County Water District until Western Municipal Water District acquired it in 2005. The section covers the partially undeveloped central portion of Murrieta, including downtown. Should the section be unloaded onto another district, the most

likely suitor is Rancho California Water District, which covers most of Temecula as well as parts of Murrieta and – most importantly – already has water lines running through the former county water district. Another possibility is the nearby Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, which serves much of Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. Also included in the potential spinoff are two small sections just north of the San Diego county line. General Manager John Rossi said the primary aspect of the proposal is to keep costs lower for customers. “I mean there aren’t many agencies that reduce them, right, but

one of the main analyses we looked at suggested there’s a 1520 percent gap, and some of the other agencies have lower rates than ours,” Rossi said. Another concern for the district is how to pay for needed upgrades in Murrieta. Much of the service area is undeveloped with few connections, even though Rancho California Water District already has its own lines running through the area. Rossi said Western Municipal Water District is very careful to make sure money for new development is not paid for by existing customers. Rossi also said funds from Murrieta ratepayers stay in Murrieta, but that means the Murrieta portion of the district is left in much the same position as the Murrieta County Water District – small and without enough funds to pay for upgrades. “People say, ‘Why don’t you, the water district, just put the water line right in?’ Well, it’s not my money; it’s a government agency,” Rossi said. “We don’t have large reserves sitting around. In fact, there’s been very little growth in Murrieta since the recession. So there’s not funds sitting around to build these things.” The low number of Murrieta customers makes it hard to keep rates economical, Rossi said. “So, could this be added into a larger district that has maybe 30,000 connections, or 40,000? That might provide some opportu-

Western Municipal Water District’s board of directors look on as general manager John Rossi addresses water district customers.

nity, and it might not,” Rossi said. Some residents who spoke during the meeting’s public comment session said they had few complaints about Western Municipal Water District. Others advocated moving to another district. Former Murrieta city councilman Warnie Enochs, who lost re-election in 2008 after being arrested for multiple felonies, spoke during the meeting. Enochs said he had concerns about rate increases when Western Municipal Water District initially moved to acquire Murrieta County Water District in 2005. “Your answers to me were, ‘No, we’ve got a bigger area to draw from so that the water rates won’t go up,’” he said. Back in 2005, Enochs said the thought was that since Western Municipal Water District was a much larger district than Murrieta County Water District, they had the resources to keep up with development in Murrieta. But since the recession, there’s been little growth in the Murrieta service area, and there’s been little in the way of service improvements, either. “Now, you’ve done another study I guess, and now it doesn’t pay and nothing’s really changed other than our rates have gone up,” Enochs said. Murrieta Mayor Rick Gibbs and

Mayor Pro-Tem Jonathan Ingram were also present at the meeting, though neither spoke publicly. Water district customer Jessica Hales said the gap in fee costs between Western Municipal Water District and other water districts is much larger than the 20 percent mentioned by Rossi. “I’m paying 45 percent more for my service, I’m paying 28 percent more for my sewer and I’m paying 18 percent more per unit of water usage,” she said. “So before I even use a drop of water, I’m spending $70 a month.” Mike Madison, a former member of the Murrieta County Water District board of directors, questioned what Western Municipal Water District has been doing since it took over the now-defunct county water district. “We did three general plans, and we were working on the fourth when we turned it over to (Western),” Madison said. “How many general plans have you done?” Whatever residents’ concerns are, they will have more opportunities to get them across. Wednesday’s meeting was only the first step in the direction of spinning off the Murrieta portion to another district, and nothing is set in stone yet. Another meeting is planned soon, possibly at Murrieta City Hall. No date has been set.

total project costs and were given to the contractor, Ortiz Enterprises, April 25. The remaining $27.1 million goes toward buying land and paying consultants among other services, according to Project Manager Avlin Odviar. Public commentators expressed their concerns of several aspects of the project including the new northbound I-15 on-ramp at SR79. Current renderings show a refuge island and two crosswalks, ultimately eliminating one free right-turn lane. Public commentators questioned how this addition would alleviate traffic, and Odviar addressed the alteration as compliance to the Americans with Disabilities Act and pedestrian accessibility. “The current configuration is a dual right-hand turn lane, but that doesn’t work well with pedestrians,” Odviar said. “You can imagine in a wheelchair that crossing is nearly impossible.” In addressing traffic relief for the northbound on-ramp, Odviar clarified, “We understand the need for traffic relief going onto the freeway, so in short, the inside lane is a dedicated free right except if there are pedestrians and the right lane left of the island can essentially make the same turn.” The “no right turn on red” ruling will remain the same for the northbound off-ramp as the city adds in additional lanes. The project features are intended to improve vehicular traffic circulation and access, however public commentator Gary Marshman said, “There is a lot of money spent for very little change. I’m still going to sit on the road for the same amount of time, and you haven’t changed any of the traffic flow going onto the freeways.” The city anticipates relief of freeway traffic by lengthening the off-ramp, reconfiguring ramps and increasing lanes. Regardless, the project is on schedule but continues to face challenges of maintaining access, construction staging, relocating underground utilities and complying with environmental standards such as noise level and with local tribes.

management, elected officials and local businesses. The project has scheduled closures that will not occur during high volume traffic hours and no full freeway closures or weekend work hours are expected. At this time, all ramp and highway closures will occur between the hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Falcon Engineering and public relations official Dennis Green said. The city has prepared detour signs and routes for the expected closures but have yet to release the dates of the specified closures. The public will be able to get advanced notice of future detours through the city of Temecula website, project Twitter and Waze. Detour signs will redirect traffic when the northbound off- and on-ramps, southbound off- and on-ramps and state Route 79 close.

Undocumented Fallbrook resident detained by ICE, released after he applies for DACA status Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A 22-year-old Fallbrook resident who was picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was released Friday, July 21, after his attorney filed paperwork for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) status. What would have been a protest in Fallbrook to demand for his release was turned into a celebration July 26 after Mario Otoniel Figueroa Martinez was let go. Martinez was brought to the United States at the age of 4 from Guatemala. According to a statement released by Martinez’s attorney, Leah Chavarria, Martinez knows nothing of Guatemala as his family fled out of fear for their lives. His family applied for asylum in approximately 2001. However, they were ordered removed after losing their asylum case because of an alleged attorney’s mistake in 2011. Martinez was 16 at the time, and was required to live with his older brother. While still in high school, Martinez hired a now-disbarred attorney to file his first DACA petition. The attorney absconded with his money and paperwork. Martinez graduated from Ivy High School in 2014, and married a U.S. citizen. He is a father to their 10-month-old daughter. This year, Martinez hired Hurwitz Holt, APLC/Leah Chavarria to file I-130 petition (petition by his wife, who is a U.S. citizen),

DACA and a later motion to reopen removal proceedings in May. The goal was to have proceedings terminated based on approved I-130 petition, and he was still working on finalizing paperwork and paying government filing fees (over $1,030) until July 11. On July 11, Martinez was a passenger in a car driving to a job site in Temecula when a border patrol vehicle drove up next to the car. According to Martinez’s legal statement, the border patrol signaled for the car to stop and Martinez was detained. Martinez was not eligible to see an immigration judge because of his prior removal order from when he was a minor. According to his legal statement, Martinez is a taxpayer and has no criminal record. “They were accusing me of being a fugitive from ICE because I skipped an appointment with a judge,” said Martinez. “[That appointment] was in 2010, when my dad was deported and I was 16. My mom was in Guatemala. I never got a phone call.” “When I first found out that Mario was being taken, it was hard,” said Celeste Figueroa, Martinez’s wife. “I didn’t expect it. It could have happened at any other time, but it happened at this time. It honestly made me stronger for me and for my daughter. I didn’t think this could ever happen. I love Mario, and would have done anything for him.” On July 15, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services received Martinez’s DACA application and

July 19, his I-130 petition was received. On July 19, Martinez went public with his story, including presenting his story at a news conference with Alliance San Diego and starting a petition, which received over 1,500 signatures on it. “Mario went public with his case for two reasons: first, he hopes more than anything the Department of Homeland Services (DHS) will see that his deportation does not serve the greater good and he should be released because he is DACA-eligible with a pending application and his family needs him,” said Chavarria at the rally. “Second, he wants to help others

not have to face what he is facing. With that, please seek legal consultation with a trusted attorney. Alliance San Diego has a list of trusted attorneys.” Congressman Duncan Hunter inquired with the Department of Homeland Security on Martinez’s case July 20 and was told the case was being considered by DHS attorneys. Senators Feinstein and Harris also promised to make inquiries on his case. Martinez was released Friday, July 21, at approximately 9:30 p.m. at the San Ysidro border. This came after consideration from the office of Duncan Hunter.

“Mario will continue to move forward in his process and live a wonderful life in the United States,” said Chavarria. According to Alliance San Diego, more than 40,000 people in San Diego are eligible for DACA, but only about half of them have already applied. Of those who are screened by Alliance San Diego, 20 percent are eligible for some kind of protection. Information on the legal screenings is available on www. readynowsandiego.org.

Temecula City Council moves forward with district voting boundaries, interchange project Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

By a narrow vote of 3-2, Temecula City Council approved to adopt Ordinance 17-04, which changes the way Temecula will vote for its city council and mayor, as proposed in the July 11 meeting. Previous to the July 25 meeting, no action was taken other than conducting the fourth mandated public hearing after establishing the district boundaries. The ordinance is in compliance of the California Voting Rights Act, changing the municipal code of city council elections to be determined by district rather than at-large. The ordinance specifically outlined with the identification of the district numbers and election order of each district along with the establishment of district boundaries. In its second reading, the motion carried with two dissenters, Mayor Pro Tem Matthew Rahn and Councilmember James Stewart. The council authorized the transition April 25, and, in part, the city now plans to adopt the “yellow” map version of district divisions. Mayor Pro Tem Matthew Rahn asked to pull the item from the con-

sent calendar for further inspection. Later he explained, “I will be voting ‘no’ on the item because I think the analysis and motivation behind the selection of the ‘yellow’ map are not necessarily in concurrence.” Councilmember Stewart followed suit by voting against the boundaries drawn out by the “yellow” map, while councilmembers Naggar, Comerchero and Edwards approved. The establishment of a by-district election structure is intended to comply with California Voting Rights Act, offering equal representation of all citizens. Such action was motivated to avoid litigation by Malibu lawyer, Kevin Shenkman, after several cities were faced with multimilliondollar lawsuits. The council also approved with a 5-0 vote a three-year agreement for contractor services with Counts Unlimited for Citywide Traffic Counts Data Collection for the fiscal years of 2017-2020. The contractual agreement is set at $30,000 annually, totaling a $90,000 fiscal impact. The count data collection will assist the Temecula Interchange project by collecting ve-

hicular volume data and peak hour turning movement count data used for evaluating intersection performance at signalized intersections. The council approved, unanimously, other interchange-related actions, specifically by approving the first amendment to the agreement for Temecula Park and Ride. The project was suspended September 2016 with 40 percent of construction done. The project is approved for additional design services to make extensive adjustments to the originally approved plan, thus causing a fiscal impact of $10,760 for design costs, plus a total contingency amount of $6,817.60. The city hosted a public information meeting, during which Senior Management Analyst Betsy Lowrey clarified that the current Park and Ride riders are temporarily parking in the Rancho Community Church parking lot until the project was completed. No contention was raised for either interchange-related items, but the council remained divided upon the establishment of election district lines. Courtesy photo

Local family raising money for autism assistance dog TEMECUA – Jake Baker is a 14-year-old who loves building Lego sets and going to the beach. Jake has trouble communicating with others and gets overwhelmed easily, due to autism. To help him adjust to unfamiliar situations and enjoy life more, his parents are raising money through the nonprofit group, Red Basket, to purchase a service dog. When Jake was young, his parents noticed that he preferred to be by himself and would often be in his own world. He was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old. As he got older, Jake started to feel uneasy in large groups or around loud noises. He often internal-

ized his uneasiness by humming, rocking and shuffling his hands. To help him manage his anxieties, Jake’s parents tried to maintain a quiet and simple lifestyle, but have found that it limited Jake’s experiences. To improve his quality of life, Jake’s parents applied for an autism assistance dog through Little Angels Service dogs. This group trains dogs to provide assistance dogs to people who need them. The service is expensive, and will cost Jake’s family around $24,000. To help offset the costs of training Jake’s dog, his parents have created an online fundraiser through to raise $20,000.

“This dog will be the friend Jake deserves,” Jake’s mother Tonya said. The fundraiser will be held online through Aug. 12.

The new DO’s have begun their three-year residency requirement in the chosen field of their choice including AOA Radiology, AOA Internal Medicine and AOA Traditional Rotating Internships. The Traditional Rotating Internships help the doctors determine what specialty they want to master. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Their emphasis is a whole person approach to treatment and care.

Chaudhuri had them recite the Osteopathic and Hippocratic Oaths as many of their family watched in admiration. The closing remarks were given by Kali Chaudhuri, M.D., Chairman and CEO of the Physicians for Healthy Hospital’s owner. He said, in reality, his closing remarks would actually be “opening remarks.” He said by entering the residency they had actually have begun their climb to becoming a qualified and respected physician who would soon be on their own. He told them that nothing for them is impossible and to make everything possible. With that, he urged the new residents to make sure they work hard to keep their board scores up and make the “hospital proud of you!” He told them he had only three recommendations to them while they are doing their residency. “One. Work hard. Two. Work hard. Three. Work hard!” And the new residents will be working hard at the hospital usually working 60 to 80 hours a week and spending even more reading about medical practices. Residencies require physicians to learn and work in teams all for the benefit of their patients. Attending the white coat ceremony were members of the first and second AOA classes at the hospital.

Local Pony All-Stars welcome more wins during postseason play JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

A summer of fun has come to an end for many of the local PONY Baseball All-Star teams from the valley that represented their organizations over summer. PONY, which stands for “Protect our Nation’s Youth,” are one of the largest advocates for youth baseball and softball internationally and some would even say they have more of a fan base than that of its Little League counterpart because of the implementation of real baseball rules at an earlier age. For the local PONY All-Stars, the start of tournament play began in June and was broken up into District and Sectional Brackets where host cities all over southern California, including Murrieta, French Valley, Hemet and San Jacinto welcomed many an All-Star player and their families to their fields. Teams that won at the District level were given an automatic advance to Region qualifiers and those that lost at the District level were given a second chance in the Section arena where the winner and usually the runner-up also got to advance to Region tournament as well. A World Series berth is what teams were seeking when the dust settled and of course the final win is the icing on the cake for these young athletes and their families. Before this year, three teams in the history of the local leagues had ever won the coveted title of being the nation’s best and that was the Murrieta Bronco 11U Orange AllStar team in 2015, the 7U Kid Pitch Red All-Star team from Temecula in 2016 and the 8U Machine Pitch team from Temecula in 2016 as well. This year one more local team added their name to the history books, the 7U Machine Pitch team from Temecula. We began covering the younger PONY All-Stars two weeks ago and will update those lists with the teams that moved on, including some of the older teams we did not cover yet and the World Series winners.

Daughter and father win Perris Auto Speedway main events Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The July 15 races at Perris Auto Speedway included main event wins by the daughter and father combination of Alyssa and Tom Smith. Alyssa Smith finished first in that night’s Factory Stocks feature. Tom Smith won the Super Stocks main event. “It was really amazing to be able to win the same night as him,” Alyssa Smith said. “It’s fabulous. It doesn’t get any better than that,” Tom Smith said. “For that to happen in one night is really satisfying.” Tom Smith’s father, Steve Smith, raced Street Stocks at the Ascot track in Gardena which closed after the 1990 season and also raced at the Speedway 605 track in Irwindale and the Orange Show track in San Bernardino. Alyssa Smith’s other grandfather, Steve McCain, raced Street Stocks at Perris and at Ascot. Alyssa Smith’s mother, Amanda, was raised in Lake Elw w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

sinore and attended Temescal Canyon High School. Tom Smith and Amanda McCain met at the Orange Show track. Alyssa Smith was born May 28, 2002, and was two weeks old when she attended her first auto race. Alyssa Smith was seven when she began racing dirt bikes on a track in the City of Industry and made her four-wheel driving debut in the mini-sprints at the Victorville track when she was 10. “I was all for it,” Tom Smith said. Alyssa Smith drives a 1974 Camaro at Perris. Tom Smith acquired the car and is also his daughter’s crew chief. “It’s always been a family deal. We all enjoy it and it works out well,” Tom Smith said. Tom Smith, who is now 42, began racing at the age of eight when he competed in go-karts at Ascot. He was 15 when he began racing stock cars at Orange Show. He has also driven in Figure 8 races at Irwindale Speedway, and he has raced Street Stock and Figure 8 cars at Perris in the past. Alyssa Smith made her Perris Auto Speedway driving debut as a 13-year-old during the track’s Winter Challenge Series. The Winter Challenge Series, which encourages drivers from other tracks to race at Perris, does not

have track-specific rules but rather allows a car which is legal on its own home track to race at Perris. The absence of track-specific rules also eliminated the Perris minimum driver age of 14 for the Winter Challenge Series. The track waived the minimum age for Smith for the start of the 2016 regular season, and March 12, 2016, she made her debut in the regular-season Factory Stocks series. Smith won that night’s race and finished third in the final season standings. “For me to watch her win is better than winning myself,” Tom Smith said. Until July 15 Tom and Alyssa Smith had not won main events on the same night. Not only did the father and daughter both win main events July 15, but they also both won their heat races that evening. “The night started off good,” Tom Smith said. The heat races were six laps. “It was a really good race and the track was really smooth and I just found the right line to run,” Alyssa Smith said. The main events were both 20 laps on the half-mile dirt oval. The Factory Stocks feature was first and Alyssa Smith began on the inside of the second row. Lake Elsinore

driver James Altman started on the pole and took the initial lead, allowing Smith to be in second place. Smith took the lead in the second lap when Altman spun out. “I held my line and I got the win,” Smith said. Altman was able to maintain second place and was in that position when the checkered flag was thrown. Tom Smith began the Super Stocks main event on the outside of the second row. He took the lead on the sixth lap. “The track was really dry slick and you had to ‘ use your

patience and you were your own worst enemy,” he said. Smith was able to maintain the lead for the rest of the race. “I kind of stayed on the bottom,” he said. “I was patient and cautious at the same time and just drove a smooth race without making any mistakes.” Smith encountered some lapped traffic in his final laps. “We got through them pretty easy,” he said. Billy Griffin was the secondplace finisher. “It was a good night for both of us,” Alyssa Smith said. “It was overall an amazing night.”

Six Bonsall-based horses post wins during opening week at Del Mar Tom Ferrall TFERRALL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Six horses based at the San Luis Rey Training Center in Bonsall, including four from the barn of trainer Peter Miller, scored wins during opening week of the Del Mar summer racing season. After no San Luis Rey runners reached the winner’s circle opening day, July 19, Gummy broke the drought for the training center by winning the fourth race July 20. Gummy, a 3-year-old making his first start for trainer Doug O’Neill and his first start as a gelding, won a $20,000 maiden-claiming race under jockey Tyler Baze. The 9-5 favorite in the 5 1/2-furlong dash, Gummy defeated Orejas by a halflength and paid $5.60 after hitting the wire in 1:05.66. The Miller barn notched its first victory of the season in the eighth race July 20 when the 2-year-old filly Midnight Summer made a winning debut in a $32,000 maidenclaiming event contested at 5 1/2 furlongs. Ridden by Flavien Prat, frontrunning Midnight Summer fought off an early challenge from Acharnement before pulling away in the stretch for a 4 1/2-length victory. Midnight Summer stopped the timer in 1:06.18 and paid $16.60 after being dismissed at 7-1 in the wagering.

The 2-year-old colt An Ocala Ten, with apprentice jockey Evin Roman aboard, strides to victory in the third race at Del Mar July 22. An Ocala Ten is based at the San Luis Rey Training Center and trained by Peter Miller.

San Luis Rey runners visited the winner’s circle in back-to-back races July 21 when Meadowsweet won the third race for trainer Clifford Sise, Jr. and Texas Wedge took the fourth for Miller. Meadowsweet scored a game victory under jockey Kent Desormeaux in a $62,000 allowance/optional claiming race on the turf. Battling on the lead throughout the 1 1/16-mile test for 3-year-old fillies, Meadowsweet just held off Pacific Wind to win by a nose in 1:42.82. Meadowsweet paid $19.20

after collecting her second win in three starts. The 2-year-old colt Texas Wedge topped nine opponents in a $50,000 maiden-claiming sprint while making his career debut. Breaking from post nine under apprentice jockey Evin Roman, Texas Wedge stalked the early leaders, took command entering the stretch and rambled to a 6 1/2-length victory in the 5 1/2-furlong affair. Timed in 1:03.92, Texas Wedge paid $10.00. Miller saw another 2-year-old colt break his maiden July 22 when

An Ocala Ten won the third race, an $80,000-$70,000 maiden-claiming event at 5 1/2 furlongs. With apprentice Roman aboard, An Ocala Ten led from start to finish at odds of 7-1 and returned $16.20 after defeating Graycaster by 1 3/4 lengths in 1:04.93. The 7-year-old gelding Prime Issue allowed Miller to end opening week on a winning note when he captured the eighth race July 23. Roman was again at the controls and he guided Prime Issue to a front-running 4 3/4-length victory

in a 6 1/2-furlong allowance/optional claiming sprint. Prime Issue posted a time of 1:17.02 and paid $10.00 as the 4-1 second choice in the wagering. Miller was by far the most active trainer during open week as he sent out 26 runners during the first five days of the 36-day meeting. The four victories had Miller tied with Peter Eurton for the top spot in the trainer standings through week one of the seven-week season that runs through Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 4).

Hyperbaric Medicine Service receives accreditation LOMA LINDA – The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society recently awarded full accreditation to Loma Linda University Medical Center’s Hyperbaric Medicine Service, signaling that the facility meets or exceeds the highest standards of care and patient safety within the medical specialty. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves the use of medical oxygen administered in a sealed chamber at levels higher than atmospheric pressure, enabling oxygen to dissolve more rapidly into the blood. It’s used as part of a multi-disciplinary approach to the management of

wounds and other conditions, such as pressure-related scuba diving injuries, arterial obstructions due to blood clots or air bubbles and carbon monoxide poisoning. Participation in Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society accreditation is voluntary. Dr. Laren Tan, medical director for hyperbaric medicine at LLUMC, said the accreditation demonstrates the organization’s commitment to the highest standards of practice and patient safety. “We are proud of our team members for achieving this significant milestone and for their commitment

to our patients,” Tan said. “It could not have been achieved without the concerted effort of our physicians, respiratory care practitioners, critical care nursing staff, technicians and management team working together.” Tan said LLUMC is one of only two accredited academic hyperbaric oxygen centers in all of California. Roughly 200 of the approximately 1,500 hospitals in the United States offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy have earned the right to display the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society accreditation seal. Hyperbaric treatment has become more user-friendly in recent years. Instead of the claustrophobia-inducing metal chambers of the past, the clear acrylic chambers of today allow patients to look outside, recline in comfort, watch their favorite TV shows or movies on a large, flatscreen TV with its own DVD player or take a nap throughout the twohour treatment. A specially trained chamber operator is present at all times throughout the procedure. Since the inception of hyperbaric medicine at LLUMC in 1981, the program has expanded from a single chamber to four chambers, including one that can accommodate patients up to seven feet in height and 400 pounds in weight. Tan said Loma Linda University Health is the only regional center in the Inland Empire that performs routine and critical care hyperbaric treatments.

professionals in the fields of hyperbaric and dive medicine in more than 50 countries. Accreditation certifies that all aspects of a hyperbaric medicine program have been certified to ensure the utmost quality within the medical specialty. Lori Scott, executive director of the department of respiratory care,

said the goal of the accreditation process is for patients to have the highest confidence in the safety of the program as well as the care offered to them. “The accreditation is our way of telling patients that we take our responsibilities as their care providers seriously,” Scott said.

For people not directly experiencing one of these debilitating problems, they probably know someone who is. People can harness their inner mind to manage stress, quit smoking, control their weight, experience comfortable child birth and even sleep better at night. Now people are learning to use their inner mind to resolve depression and anxiety that robs them of their sense of safety and security. They can also learn to resolve personal issues that typically began deep within the mind with memories that can later cause them to feel out of control. “We are seeing more and more clients experiencing chronic depression, anxiety and more recently frightening panic attacks,” Dr. Pamela Winkler, director of the St. John’s University counseling services said. “These issues seem to have a life of their own and often seem to come out of nowhere. When these problems begin to interfere with how well people are sleeping, it effects just about everything else in their lives.” The Mayo Clinic, considered to be the most highly respected hospital in the United States, has included hypnosis and hypnotherapy in every department of patient care for many years, including obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics and the treatment of mental health issues. According to AARP, research reveals a clear link between depression, anxiety and chronic pain. If everyday stress is getting the best of someone, it may explain the increase in insomnia, depression and anxiety. With proper guidance, the inner mind can resolve the root cause of anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The inner mind can also resolve what is triggering these feelings. This practice puts people back in control of their own sense of wellness. 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 people have peace of mind, they also can have a peaceful and healthier body, a body that is not holding stress in its muscles or joints. To learn more about the power of the inner mind for resolving depression, anxiety and panic attacks and to register for workshop, call (951) 599-7550. Seating is limited. Early registration is suggested. For more information about St. John’s University’s three-tiered, distance-learning certification program and Master of Science and doctoral degree programs in clinical hypnotherapy, visit www.sjunow.org. 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. Winkler was inducted into the International Hypnosis Hall of Fame in 1992.

Pechanga and Temecula Dollars for Scholars awards 87 local scholarships

Pechanga Tribal Councilman Butch Murphy awards scholarships to Vista Murrieta High School students. Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – On a Monday night in April, hundreds of teens and families from the city of Murrieta’s three high schools gathered at the Murrieta Mesa High School performing arts theater to receive money for college. Temecula Dollars for Scholars, who administers the scholarships committed by the schools, gave dozens of scholarships to teens attending Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Mesa and Murrieta Valley high schools on behalf of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. Pechanga Tribal Councilman Butch Murphy greeted each recipient and

thanked them for being exemplary students. He also shared with the audience some history of Pechanga’s support to the schools as well as his experience as a teacher and coach in the district. “On behalf of all us at Murrieta Valley, thank you Pechanga for your unwavering support of our students, programs and community,” Eric Mooney, Murrieta Valley High School principal, said. “The support you provide makes a positive difference and we are so grateful.” A few weeks later, additional

seniors graduating from Temecula Valley, Chaparral and Great Oak high schools each received a scholarship through Temecula Dollars for Scholars in Temecula Valley High School’s Golden Bear Theater on behalf of Pechanga. In all, more than $34,000.00 was divided among 87 graduating seniors as they prepare for the next steps of their learning careers. “Our ancestors overcame challenges in the past through community and by supporting each other,” Tribal Chairman Mark Macarro said. “We are very proud and humbled to now be able to support the future generations of our community through education as they pursue the best opportunities for a successful life.” Each year, Pechanga donates $35,000 each to the three public high schools in the Murrieta, Temecula and Lake Elsinore school districts. The funds used to provide scholarships amounted to a portion of that sum for Murrieta and Temecula’s high schools. Pechanga began its philanthropy to the area’s ninth through 12th-graders in 1998. This year’s donation will bring the overall distribution to over $4.6 million in support of education in the Valley. The intended use of these funds is reviewed before distribution

are otherwise in the judicial system. “We are here to help you through different systems,” Algarin said, focusing on his goal of educating listeners helping them to understand the processes and begin to work together. Another focus of his lecture was the affects of the government closing mental asylums in the 1960s, which led to more unmedicated, untreated and misdiagnosed people in prisons than in hospitals. Referring to prisons as the new asylums in the United States, Algarin noted that a treatment plan needs to be made for those who are mentally ill, rather waiting until they are sent to jail.

AC Investigations finds people, gets the lowdown

Who needs to hire a private investigator? People from all walks of life, according to Anthony Campbell, a California licensed private investigator, license No. 28736, and the man behind AC Investigations. Bounty hunters, singles involved in the dating game, attorneys, landlords, employers, concerned parents and suspecting spouses are among the clients that Campbell has served. “Locating people,” Campbell said of the job assignment he gets most often. “It’s called skip tracing. For whatever reason, somebody is hiding.

They get off the grid. So, you go out there and pound the pavement.” There are many reasons why somebody would want to locate someone, and although many involve money such as a bail bondsman, some reasons are more innocent. Campbell gave the example of a mother who has lost touch with a grown up son. “Sometimes people want me to locate someone just to find out how they are doing,” Campbell said. “They don’t necessarily want to be reunited with the person or have me make contact with the person. They just want to know if the person is OK.” Parents worried about a wayward

child have employed Campbell. “I’ve followed teenagers to see what they’re involved in,” Campbell said. “Parents get concerned that maybe the kid is involved with gangs or drugs or just hanging with the wrong people. I find out what’s going on with the kid and give them a report.” Campbell often locates people for attorneys. “I have been doing a lot of process serving,” Campbell said. “These people are hiding because they don’t want to be served, and I have to locate them. You go to the house; they’re not there. They’ve moved. So you do all the other work that you need to do to locate them. You find out where the car is or who the girlfriend is.” Speaking of girlfriends, Campbell has advice for single ladies who date. “I think an important thing for women these days is to have a background check done on a guy before they date him,” Campbell said. “That’s really crucial because guys are smooth. They come at you with all this good talk, and you don’t know that they’re on Megan’s List or they’ve been to prison. You want to know all you can before dating if you’re smart.” Campbell said he can prevent landlords from the headaches and hassles that results from renting to bad tenants.

“For those people that are going to be renting an apartment or renting a room, I do background checks (on potential renters) for criminal history and things of that such,” Campbell said. “They can look at the prospective renter’s application and the information I’ve provided and then cross check to see if there are any lies or anything that isn’t jiving. “I’ve saved a lot of people from renting to the wrong person, and they’ve thanked me again and again because you don’t want a renter that’s going to ruin your house or apartment and then tell you they’re not going to pay the rent,” Campbell said. “Then you end up going through a long eviction process and all this other stuff.” Campbell also advises employers to call him before hiring someone. “If you’re going to hire somebody, you need to do a background check on that person to make sure that what they put on the application is true,” Campbell said. “When I bring up my records, you can match them to see what’s up and create questions. You can ask, ‘we found out this; why didn’t you include this? Why did you say this when it’s not true?’” Campbell prides himself on doing whatever it takes to get the job done in gathering information for clients. “I’ve played I’m a SDG&E guy and climbed poles,” Campbell said. “I’ve jumped fences, snapped pic-

tures, and followed a mom with her kids because the dad thinks there’s something going on and wants to make sure the kids are fine.” Bumps and bruises can sometimes come with the job. “During a fugitive recovery apprehension, I chased a guy, and he jumped off the second story (of a building) and so did I,” Campbell said, laughed a bit and added, “I landed right on my butt, man. He rolled out of it and took off. But that’s where my dedication is – I don’t quit – and I caught that fugitive the next morning. It really pleased me after I fell like that. A couple elbows fell on him, but that’s all right.” No matter who he is working for, Campbell said he adheres to a strict code of confidentiality. “Everything is extremely confidential,” Campbell said. “Business is between me and the client, and that’s it. It’s totally private.” Campbell, who offers free consultations and a military discount, can be reached at (760) 828-1423. Why should someone use Campbell for investigative services? “I’m honest, reliable, determined and fair,” Campbell said.

MENIFEE – Paradise Buick GMC announced the winner of a red 2014 Buick Verano sedan at the Menifee Independence Celebration event. Nick Turner from Homeland was the surprised and lucky winner.

Over $5,500 was raised to support the participating organizations.

“We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the Menifee Independence Celebration along with our sister store, Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac,” Stacey Richards, general manager of Paradise Buick GMC, said. “It is always

such a wonderful event and providing the car giveaway this year to support four great charitable organizations in Menifee made it extra special.”

Theatre Royale presents ‘West Side Story’ at Pechanga TEMECULA – Theatre Royale presents three performances of “West Side Story” Friday and Saturday, Aug. 11-12, at Pechanga Resort and Casino, 45000 Pechanga Parkway, in Temecula. “West Side Story,” originally conceived, directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and based off the book by Arthur Laurents, is a triumphant legend where love transcends language, time and place. While Manhattan’s west side rumbles with the clash of Jets and Sharks, Maria and Tony seek “a somewhere” their romance can thrive. In the revolutionary work that changed the course of the American musical, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents bring their award-winning genius to the immortal story of star-crossed lovers caught in a turf war of rival ethnic gangs. With music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, “West Side Story” features guest artists Tamara Rodriguez and Tanner Vidos as Maria and Tony, Sean Kiralla as Riff, Matthew Ryan as Bernardo, Candace Carbajal as Anita, Billy Clebeck as Doc, Coley McAvoy as Lt. Schrank, Adam Trent as Action and Madisen Fragosa as Rosalia. Theatre Royale’s production is directed by Scott King with assistance of dance director Sarah Cleveland and dance captains Sean Kiralla and Matthew Ryan. Musical direction is by Barbara Chiofalo, production management is by Carolyn King, scenic design is by Stephen Gifford, costume design is by Trudee Stevens, lighting design is by Shane Pritchard and sound design is by Austin Hill.

Stage manager is Skyelar Nalley. This landmark musical bravely addressed dark social issues, while introducing sophisticated music and extended dance scenes. It’s now seen as a major turning point which gave the musical a new and broader definition. The Grammy-winning score includes “Something’s Coming,” “Maria,” “America,” “Somewhere,” “Tonight,” “I Feel Pretty,” “Jet Song” and “Cool.” From the first notes to the final breath, “West Side Story” is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is transported to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is a most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas. For tickets, call (877) 711-2946. The box office is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m., and on show or event days, it is open noon to 10 p.m. Tickets can also be purchase online anytime at www.pechanga.com/entertain/ west-side-story-the-broadwaymusical.

Homemade ice cream makes for the perfect summer treat Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream. Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – Ice cream is synonymous with summer, when rising temperatures and vacations from school and work call for some refreshing celebration. Those who want to experiment with homemade ice cream may want to consider the following recipe for “Dulce de Leche Ice Cream” from Lou Seibert Pappas’ “Ice Creams and Sorbets” (Chronicle Books).

2 cups half-and-half or milk 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 12 ounces butterscotch chips, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Prepare a large bowl or pan of ice water. In the top of a double boiler, heat the half-and-half over simmering water until steaming. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended, then whisk in the sugar. Whisk in about half of the hot half-and-half and pour the yolk mixture into the pan of half-and-half. Stir with a

silicone spatula or spoon and cook over simmering water for about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the chips and continue stirring until blended in and the custard coats the back of the spatula, about 2 minutes more. Immediately place the custard pan in the ice bath and stir the custard occasionally until it cools to room temperature. Transfer to a container and stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the remaining 1 cup chips and churn until blended in, about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Make lights sparkle to brighten spaces and conserve energy As days get shorter and natural light is less abundant, interior lighting becomes ever more important. Chandeliers, pendant lamps, recessed lighting, and tableside lamps are most effective when they are clean. HGTV experts say dirty lights can give off up to 20 percent less light than clean ones. Dirty fixtures also waste energy. Lighting fixtures that are within reach are easy to tackle, but what about those fixtures that hang or have multiple crystals, globes or bulbs? These tips can cut down on the time needed to give lights a thorough cleaning. Stock up on the right cleaning supplies. Microfiber dusting cloths are smart choices because they can help trap grime and tend to be machine-washable and reusable. Extendable static-charged dusters are another handy item to have around, particularly for fixtures that are hard to reach. Dust regularly. Dusting regularly can prevent the buildup of grime that’s difficult to wash off. Try to dust light fixtures weekly or biweekly. The more frequent the fixtures are dusted, the less time each cleaning session will take. Soft cloths can remove the dust from most bulbs and exterior surfaces. Lamp shades may need more attention.

for cleaning, use a sturdy stool, a spray bottle with your cleaning mixture and a soft cloth to wipe away the dirt. Remember to place something absorbent beneath the light to catch any drips. Do not spray liquids directly onto light bulbs; otherwise, you can damage

the bulb and the electrical components. It’s best to exercise caution when cleaning lighting fixtures. Turn off the light itself and shut off the circuit breaker to avoid the risk of shock or burns from hot bulbs.

Pardee Homes’ Smart Savings event extended through Aug. 6 LAKE ELSINORE – Pardee Homes’ Smart Savings event, offering special values on preselected, move-in ready homes in the Inland Empire, has been extended through Aug. 6. This extraordinary opportunity is timed to bring real savings to home shoppers this summer with reduced pricing and the ability to save thousands on closing costs or select from a move-in package of high-quality appliances or a year of paid homeowners’ association dues. “The savings available on a limited collection of homes in the Inland Empire are well worth timely action,” Matt Sauls, vice president of marketing and product development for Pardee Homes said. “Smart shoppers can make it all happen now by visiting our website at www.pardeehomes.com/smartsavings2017 or one of six new home galleries where they will find homes priced from the low $300,000s to the $400,000s.” Among the standout opportunities

is a coveted Overlook Residence 1 in the gated Westridge neighborhood in Lake Elsinore – a three bedroom, two and one-half-bath home with solar installed and an oversized yard. This versatile two-story home also has stunning black and white granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances and a tankless water heater. Priced at $320,350, this outstanding home is approximately 1,790 square feet and anticipated to be completed this fall. You’ll find additional savings in Lake Elsinore at four other new home neighborhoods in masterplanned Canyon Hills – Senterra, Starling, Vantage and Viewpoint – offering a range of three to seven bedrooms and approximately 1,750 to 4,226 square feet. Canyon Hills is in the beautiful rolling hills next to Canyon Lake and surrounded by acres of preserved open space. Residents enjoy convenient shopping, great recreational amenities, private

recreation centers and neighborhood schools. Overlook, Starling, Vantage and Viewpoint are in Canyon Hills’ gated Westridge neighborhood which includes its very own recreation center and a neighborhood dog park. In Beaumont, discover savings at Northstar and Flagstone, both located in The Highlands at Sundance, a new area adjacent to the established Sundance community where residents enjoy tree-lined parkways, nearby elementary schools and two expansive neighborhood parks. The Highlands Club, with a neighborhood swimming pool, spa, tot lot and barbecue area, serves the residents of Northstar and Flagstone. For the move-up family, ready to buy and save money too, there is a Flagstone Residence 2 available immediately.

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District board approved water and sewer rate changes for Aug. 1 LAKE ELSINORE –The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District’s board of directors unanimously approved its budget with a two-year schedule of modest water and sewer rate increases, Thursday, July 27. The board approved the increases following a public hearing. The adjustments, which took effect Aug. 1 and again July 1, 2018, reflect the rising costs for imported water supplies, repair and replacement of infrastructure, maintenance, treatment and other components of the water and sewer system. “Adjusting rates helps us cover costs and perform repairs and

maintenance, which ensures that EVMWD can continue to deliver a sustainable supply of water and sewer service at a fair price and remain financially stable,” General Manager John Vega said. The new rates are based on an independent study that analyzed the cost of providing water and sewer services. Details of the changes are available online at www.evmwd. com/218. In addition to the rate changes, the district’s sewer rate structure may move from a flat rate to a variable rate beginning July 1, 2018, upon further consideration by the board. Variable rates reflect the

number of people living in a home and the cost to transport, treat and dispose of waste. The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District provides service to more than 133,000 water, wastewater and agricultural customers in a 97-square-mile service area in western Riverside County. The district is a subagency of the Western Municipal Water District and a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Visit the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District website at www.evmwd.com for additional information.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

The 9-step system to get your home sold fast and for top dollar Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Real Estate Market is constantly changing. Remember, when it was nothing to buy a home, wait a short while, and then sell it for a hefty profit, then do it all over again. Well, as you probably know, those days are gone. As good as the market is right now, home prices are still below what they were at their peak. Today buyers are far more discriminating. It’s more critical than ever to learn what you need to know to avoid costly seller mistakes to sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. Selling your home is one of the most important steps in your life. This 9-step system will give you the tools you need to maximize your profits, maintain control, and reduce the stress that comes with the home selling process: 1. Know why you’re selling, and keep it to yourself. The reasons behind your decision to sell affect everything from setting a price to deciding how much time and money to invest in getting your home ready for sale. What’s more important to you: the money you walk away with, or the length of time your property is on the market? Different goals will dictate different strategies. However, don’t reveal your motivation to anyone else or they may use it against you at the negotiating table. When asked, simply say that your housing needs have changed. 2. Do your homework before setting a price. Settling on an offering price shouldn’t be done lightly. Once you’ve set your price, you’ve told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home, but pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low. Remember that the average buyer is looking at 15-20 homes at the same time they are considering yours. This means that they have a basis of comparison, and if your home doesn’t compare favorably with others in the price range you’ve set, you won’t be taken seriously by prospects or agents. As a result, your home will sit on the market for a long time and, knowing

this, new buyers on the market will think there must be something wrong with your home. 3. Do your homework. (In fact, a good real estate agent will do this for you). Find out what homes, like yours have sold in the past 6-12 months, and research what current homes are listed for. This is excitedly how prospective buyers will determine and assess how much your home is worth. 4. Find a good real estate agent to represent your needs. Nearly three-quarters of homeowners claim that they wouldn’t use the same agent who sold their last home. Dissatisfaction boils down to poor communication which results in not enough feedback, lower pricing and strained relations. Another FREE report entitled, “10 Questions to Ask Before You Hire an Agent” gives you the straight, to-the-point questions you should be asking when you interview agents who want to list your home. You can obtain a free copy of this report upon request. 5. Maximize your home’s sales potential. Each year, corporate America spends billions on product and packaging design. Appearance is critical, and it would be foolish to ignore this when selling your home. You may not be able to change your home’s location or floor plan, but you can do a lot to improve its appearance. The look and feel of your home generates a greater emotional response than any other factor. Clean like you’ve never cleaned before. Pick up, straighten, unclutter, scrub, scour and dust. Fix everything, no matter how insignificant it may appear. Present your home to get a “wow” response from prospective buyers. Allow the buyers to imagine themselves living in your home. The decision to buy a home is based on emotion, not logic. Prospective buyers want to try on your home just like they would a new suit of clothes. If you follow them around pointing out improvements or if your decor is so different that it’s difficult for a buyer to strip it away in his or her mind, you make it difficult for them to feel comfortable enough to imagine themselves an owner. 6. Make it easy for prospects to get information on your home.

You may be surprised to know that some marketing tools that most agents use to sell homes (e.g., traditional open houses) are actually not very effective. In fact, only 1 percent of homes are sold at an open house. Furthermore, the prospects calling for information on your home probably value their time as much as you do. The last thing they want to be subjected to is either a game of telephone tag with an agent, or an unwanted sales pitch. Make sure the ads your agent places for your home are attached to a 24-hour prerecorded hotline with a specific ID number for your home which gives buyers access to detailed information about your property day or night seven days a week without having to talk to anyone. It’s been proven that 3 times as many buyers call for information on your home under this system. And remember, the more buyers you have competing for your home the better, because it sets up an auctionlike atmosphere that puts you in the driver’s seat. 7. Know your buyer. In the negotiation process, your objective is to control the pace and set the duration. What is your buyer’s motivation? Do they need to move quickly? Do they have enough money to pay you your asking price? Knowing this information gives you the upper hand in the negotiation because you know how far you can push to get what you want. 8. Make sure the contract is complete. For your part as a seller, make sure you disclose everything. Smart sellers proactively go above and beyond the laws to disclose all known defects to their buyers in writing. If the buyer knows about a problem, they can’t come back with a lawsuit later on. Make sure all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out in the contract of sale, and resist the temptation to diverge from the contract. For example, if the buyer requests a movein before closing, just say no. Now is not the time to take any chances of the deal falling through. 9. Don’t move out before you sell. Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant because it looks exposed, empty, forgotten, simply not as appealing. It could even cost you thousands. If you

‘Citrus greening disease’ found in Riverside tree RIVERSIDE – The presence of the potentially devastating “citrus greening disease” was confirmed in a tree in east Riverside, prompting agricultural officials to implement a containment strategy to prevent the disease from spreading to crops throughout the area. According to the Riverside County Office of the Agricultural Commissioner, tests performed Tuesday, July 25, on a grapefruit tree sample collected two weeks earlier from property near the intersection of Chicago and Marlborough avenues showed that huanglongbing – better known as citrus greening disease – had taken root. The disease poses a threat to citrus crops in the Riverside metropolitan area and elsewhere, officials said. The California Department of Food and Agriculture, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, initiated a survey and treatment program to prevent the disease’s spread, which is enabled by the Asian citrus psyllid, a fingertip size, moth-like pest that made its U.S. debut in Florida nearly 20 years ago. “Crews will remove and dispose of the infected tree and are preparing

to treat citrus trees within 800 feet for Asian citrus psyllid infestations,” according to a county statement. “Taking these steps will remove a critical reservoir of the disease and vectors that can spread the disease, an essential tactic in protecting nearby citrus.” County Agricultural Commissioner Ruben Arroyo said both private and commercial grows are at risk. “It’s important for residents, growers and agricultural officials to work together to quickly find this disease and stop its spread,” Arroyo said. “I encourage everyone to visit www.CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org to review symptoms of the disease and report disease sightings.” There are more than 20,000 acres of commercial citrus crops in Riverside County, where oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tangerines are grown. Psyllids originate in tropical and subtropical regions, including South America and south Asia. They first appeared in California in 2008 and have been trapped in citrus-growing areas throughout the Inland Empire, as well as Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura counties. Psyllids host virulent bacteria that can devastate plants’ vascular

systems. The greening disease rampaged throughout Florida in 2005 and has inflicted an estimated $3 billion damage to crops in the Sunshine State, according to a study published by the University of Florida. Arroyo said quarantine is already in place around the site of the infected tree. “The quarantine prohibits the sale of all host nursery stock and the movement of all host plants and fruits within a five-mile radius of the find and applies to residents and commercial operations alike,” he said. Different methods are used to combat psyllids. In 2011, the University of California Riverside Center for Invasive Species Research began releasing Tamarixia radiate – tiny stinger-less wasps – in the campus’s botanical gardens to keep psyllids out. The wasps lay eggs in psyllid nymphs, on which the wasp larvae feed, killing them. Anyone with questions or concerns about huanglongbing and the threat posed by psyllids is encouraged to contact either the agricultural commissioner’s office at (951) 955-3045 or the state’s pest hotline at (800) 491-1899.

Supervisors approve final map, secured agreements for French Valley subdivision Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the final map and secured agreements for a French Valley subdivision. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote, July 25, approved the final map for Pardee Homes to subdivide 29.52 acres east of state Route 79 between Benton Road and Los Alamos Road into 84 single-family residential lots and five open space lots.

The board of supervisors approved a tract map in October 2014, but a final map cannot be recorded until all conditions of the tentative map have been fulfilled other than those for which a final map is required. The conditions include secured agreements to ensure that the infrastructure will be built and that payment for labor and materials used to build the infrastructure will be made. The agreements cover completion of road, water, sewer and other infrastructure

improvements but do not require completion of the homes or other lot improvements themselves. Pardee Homes posted four bonds to cover the infrastructure improvements. A bond for $5,431,000 will ensure completion of the street improvements, a $354,000 bond guarantees completion of the water system, security of $193,000 covers completion of the sewer system and a $154,000 bond provides for completion of the monumentation.

San Diego’s life sciences seek news treatments and innovations Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

San Diego County ranks fourth in the nation as a center for the life science industry after Boston, North Carolina’s Raleigh-Durham region and the San Francisco Bay Area. As a member of the Assembly Health Committee, I advocate for affordable and accessible life science innovations for patients’ quality of life. The importance of the industry locally was highlighted during a recent tour of life science facilities clustered in the La Jolla area,

arranged for legislators and staff by the California Life Sciences Association. The cluster includes biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostics companies, research universities and institutes developing life-saving medical treatments, discoveries about the human genome, digital health innovators blending technology and medicine to transform health care and agricultural companies improving food outputs. The tour began at Organovo, a leader in creating functional tissues for use in research or im-

plants to replace damaged or diseased tissues. Since 1/3 of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration between 2001 and 2010 were later found to have safety issues, using living tissues should improve those results and patient outcomes. Takeda Pharmaceuticals, founded in Japan in 1781, has expanded worldwide, including research centers in Boston and San Diego. Takeda Pharmaceuticals has invested over $1 billion at its San Diego research and development facility, which generates disease specific, patient tailored medicines

impacting the gastrointestinal tract, the central nervous system and immunology. The Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, which conducts extensive research into cognitive diseases, neuroscience, immunity and metabolism disorders, is seeking advanced treatments for patients worldwide, including treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological diseases. From extensive use of robotics to the latest bioprinter technology, our region is on the leading edge of medical research. I am proud

to salute San Diego’s life sciences industry and its ongoing role in supporting and enhancing lifesaving medical research. Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar M o u n t a i n , P a u m a Va l l e y, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Faith A Life of Significance is worth seeking Zac Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 If you’re like most people you spend your days just trying to survive. You’ve probably said things like “I’ve just got to get through the day” or “Will this day ever end?” Now I know you’ve had those bad days, and sorry to say, you will probably have a bad day or

two in the future. That’s life! But just getting by is not what God has planned for you. His plan for your life goes far beyond survival. His plan is one of significance. God said in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Now doesn’t that sound like a great plan? I don’t know about you, but I want that kind of life. Don’t you? Yeah, I thought so! So how do you tap into this plan that God has for you. The very first

thing you need do is submit your life and plans to God. In Proverbs 16:3, God said, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” Do you want to succeed in life? Then commit your plans to God. When you commit your plans to him, what you’re saying is “God, I’m not so good at this life-planning thing. In fact most of my plans end up in utter failure. I want to move from a life of survival to one of significance. I need some help. I need your help.” If you begin to think, pray and

live this way, get ready – you’re in for a radical life change. You see when you give God permission to plan your life, he does a really good job. The Bible keeps no secrets about God’s designed significance for your life. The problem comes in when you keep your plans a secret from him. People often think, “Oh man, this is going to be really good. I love this idea,” only to leave God completely out of it. Then they wonder why they fail. If you really want a significant life change, you have to stop leav-

ing God out of your plans. If you really want your life to succeed, you have to commit your plans to him. The reality we all must face is that God is really the only one who knows what’s best for us. He wants you to live a life of significance. Live on purpose, Pastor Zac Zac Elliot is the pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula. For more information, visit www. myfusionchurch.com.

Blotter Riverside County residents Woman drowns in Temecula’s accused of ID theft, filing Harveston Lake TEMECULA – A name of a Firefighters received a report of Hagemann of the Riverside County bogus tax returns woman who drowned in Harveston an adult woman unconscious and Fire Department said. RIVERSIDE – Two Riverside County women allegedly conspired with two men in an identity theft and tax scheme that involved nearly $2 million in fraudulent income tax return filings, federal prosecutors said. Charlene Castrejon, 58, of Hemet and Rebecca Sandoval, 33, of San Jacinto are accused of Robert Manuel Gamboa, 29, of Highland and Raymond Salazar, 53, of Los Angeles of filing at least 527 bogus federal tax returns over several years. Castrejon, Gamboa, Salazar and Sandoval were named in a 41-count indictment unsealed Wednesday, July 26, and were arrested without incident at their respective residences. Castrejon and Sandoval posted bonds and were released from custody; Gamboa was slated to appear for a detention hearing Friday, July 28, in Los Angeles. Salazar remains at large. The indictment alleges theft of government property, unauthor-

ized use of debit cards and other instruments, possession of falsified documents with the intent to defraud the government, aggravated identity theft, wire fraud and criminal forfeiture. Prosecutors allege the foursome fraudulently used the identities of numerous victims to file tax returns showing eligibility for earned income tax credits, education credits, child tax credits and refunds. The individuals whose Social Security numbers and other personal information were used in the filings were unaware of the scam, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. A total $1.9 million was stolen before the government caught on to the alleged criminal activity. The IRS, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement and the FBI were involved in the investigation that culminated in the indictment against the defendants, July 12. If convicted, each of the named parties could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

No injuries in officer-involved shooting in Murrieta, one arrested MURRIETA – A Washington state man was arrested after attempting to flee from a deputy trying to detain him for a mental health evaluation, prompting the deputy to open fire in the unincorporated community of Winchester near Murrieta, but no one was hurt, authorities said Monday, July 31. The incident started at 9:25 a.m. Sunday on Fields Drive east of Washington Street, Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Chris Willison said. A resident, later identified as John Krasowski, 29, flagged down the deputy, Willison said.

“As the deputy was speaking to the subject, he observed bizarre behavior, and the subject attempted to place the deputy under arrest and demanded the deputy disarm himself,” he said. Krasowski resisted the deputy’s attempts to detain him for a mental health evaluation, and the deputy used a Taser, which had no effect, the sergeant said. Krasowski entered a parked pickup truck and attempted to flee, resulting in a deputy-involved shooting, Willison said. Deputies pursued the man to Hemet, near the intersection of

Morrow Hill and Dusty Hill roads, and a Taser was again used to help detain Krasowski, the sergeant said, adding that no injuries were reported. After a medical evaluation, Krasowski was booked just before midnight into the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer and resisting arrest with bail set at $100,000. He was due to appear in court in Murrieta Wednesday, Aug. 2. No injuries were reported, Willison said.

Sentencing set for felon who lit fires in Homeland RIVERSIDE – A Sept. 26 sentencing date was confirmed for an ex-convict who ignited multiple fires over a 10-day span around Homeland. A Riverside jury convicted 44-year-old Marco Antonio Aispuro of 14 counts of arson for the fire series that began May 10, 2016, and ended with his arrest May 20, 2016. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Eric Helgesen conducted a hearing Friday, July 28, to determine whether Aispuro’s prior convictions should factor into his sentence, ultimately ruling that they should. At that time, the prosecution and defense conferred on a mutually acceptable date for sentencing. Aispuro, who is being held without bail at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, is facing 147 years in state prison. According to the District Attorney’s Office, the felon’s arson spree

destroyed two sheds, significantly damaged two mobile homes, as well as a utility pole and scorched land abutting several churches. Deputy District Attorney Melanie Deutsch said the defendant’s first target was the area of state Route 74 and Leon Road, where the sheds burned down. That same day, Aispuro set fire to vegetation along SR-74 at Naumann Avenue, but county fire crews quickly knocked it down. Aispuro later torched bushes around the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Homeland, along with vegetation near the Romoland Unified School District headquarters and Hemet Fence, in the 25900 block of Juniper Flats Road, Deutsch said. In each instance, county fire crews responded and doused the flames in 15-20 minutes. Aispuro ignited a spot fire at Juniper Flats Road and Oak Creek Drive, May 15, but again crews

contained it within minutes. A cluster of fires were lit near the Community First Church of God on Homeland Avenue, damaging a detached garage, and a mattress fire was set behind a residence on nearby Neer Street. Arson and sheriff’s investigators began collecting evidence at the outset of the arson series, with clues pointing to Aispuro. A key piece of evidence was a moniker – “2 hard” – spray-painted on structures and other objects where the fires occurred. The defendant’s children attributed the moniker to him, prosecutors said. Shoe prints found at several locations were also matched to Aispuro, Deutsch said, and he was arrested without incident at his mother’s residence in Hemet. According to court records, the defendant has prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, battery, auto theft and making criminal threats.
