Anza - trail town USA?

Flash Flooding safety helps prevent injury and death

Jodi Thomas Anza Area Manager

What is the trail town and could Anza become a Trail Town? That was the question being asked and info being shared at the last AVMAC meeting when the Red Shank Rider’s Allison Renck came to give a presentation.

Trail Towns are towns that have non-motorized trails for mountain bikes, horseback riding, and hiking surrounding their town. Trails are marked and lead into town. It is an eco-tourist opportunity for a town that comes together and plans to create an inviting environment for outdoor sports enthusiasts.

The Trail Town idea is to be able to boost a rural area’s economy by bringing in, mostly on the weekend, a flux of outdoor sport enthusiasts.

This influx in turn creates a need for new business growth and entrepreneurial creativity, creating new jobs in the area without increasing the local population.

Example of needed business would be Bed and Breakfast operations, campgrounds catering to horses and their owners, Campgrounds close to trails, specialty shops, and restaurants.

In Allison’s presentation she pointed out that we already are surrounded by many established trail systems all around the Anza Valley, and that these could be coupled with trails and roads used by locals when horseback riding or hiking that are unmarked. It would not be hard to purposely connect the known marked trails into town, she said.

Past Trails in the area are: *Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail now only an Auto Route/no dedication through town as a walking or riding trail.

see TRAILS, page A-4

Eighteen to 24 inches of moving water can wash an SUV off of the road. In fact, according to the National Weather Service, more than half of all flood-related deaths are people driving through flooded roads.

With the risk of flash flooding in the area over the next few days, the nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH)® reminds residents to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!” and offers the following flood safety tips to protect your home and family.

Several years ago while covering an equestrian event at Lake Riverside Estates, (LRE) I met Sandra Brunet. I met her in the course of interviewing the different vendors that day. Earlier she had given a talk on horse nutrition, and now she was answering people’s questions on feeding problems concerning their horses when I walked up.

I had been late to the event and missed her lecture so as I approached, what she was sharing

with the person standing at her booth caught my attention. She was explaining which King Feed formula would help with their horse’s problem and why. Her table was piled high with samples of the different King Feed formulas for anyone to take home and try. She handed them a sample of what they had talked about and then greeted me.

In the course of our interview I learned more about King Feed Formulas. As an avid horse and

Hey, Neighbors. Welcome back.

Hope this finds you present and “all-in” for your life lately. This week we’re visiting longtime resident Annie Shaffer.

Many of you may know Annie from the True Value Variety Store in Anza, where she casually and warmly greets and serves customers every Tuesday through Friday.

She’s been there for 13 years and counting, and enjoys seeing new faces and catching up with the regulars. see page A-8

It is in a high traffic area, easy to see and easy to get to; this makes it a perfect spot in the pine and oak wooded mountain to host another one of Sandra Brunets dreams: a place where locals could come for special events that would be helpful to the local economy.

She also wanted a place for visitors to be able to stop and take home a piece of the local mountain community with them, and to make Mountain Center a destination stop.

The first of these special events is the “Art and Farm Market,” which will be held on “The Green” every

Rose Care FUNdamentals for August 2014 Recent severe weather all over the world and especially in the Western U.S. indicates the unpredictability to be expected in the future. Globally June 2014 was the warmest June on record.

Locally it seemed insignificant while daily temperatures fluctuated from above and below ‘normal.’ The last days of July 2014 continue to bring us more unstable conditions and high temperatures predicted to continue into August.

Here in the Temecula Valley, we typically can expect these high temperatures to continue through September, sometimes into October. Gardeners will be forced to adjust their practices or be more disciplined in using current proven methods to minimize the influences in order to be able to roll with these changes. see page B-5

Hard News

Fake physician charged with sexually assaulting Lake Elsinore woman during date A man accused of sexually assaulting and stealing from a Lake Elsinore woman he met via the Internet while pretending to be a doctor was charged Wednesday, July 30 with a dozen felonies.

Andrew Michael Hernandez, 48, was arrested the Monday prior for the alleged assault, as well as unrelated thefts involving other women.

Hernandez is charged with two counts each of sexual battery of a restrained victim and grand theft, three counts of burglary, and one count each of sexual penetration with a foreign object, assault with

intent to commit rape, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, financial elder abuse and stealing public property.

The defendant, who’s being held in lieu of $1.25 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center, was slated to make his initial court appearance this afternoon at the Murrieta courthouse.

The 48-year-old alleged victim, Lisa Shrout, told ABC7 Wednesday that Hernandez began communicating with her earlier this month on Zoosk.

“He told me he was a plastic

surgeon,” Shrout said. “I had possible cancer issues going on with my right breast.”

According to Shrout, she joined Hernandez for a date over the weekend, during which the two ate out and then went shopping.

Afterward, they headed back to her place, where Shrout said she gave the defendant permission to perform a medical exam, convinced he was a physician.

During the procedure, however, Hernandez went too far, she alleged. “I told him, ‘You need to stop that,’” she told ABC7. “I was

not comfortable, jumped up and walked out.”

Hernandez was asked to leave, and did -- but allegedly swiped some of the victim’s jewelry, including a diamond ring, according to sheriff’s officials.

He’s also suspected of inappropriately touching Shrout’s preteen daughter, Shrout told ABC7.

“I feel stupid,” Shrout said. “I feel completely violated. He’s just a slimeball. He stole from me and my kids. I have to take with me what he did to me. I thought he was a doctor. My God.”

According to sheriff’s officials, during their investigation, detectives also linked him to four other alleged thefts involving women, though no details were disclosed.

The sheriff’s department believes there may be additional victims.

Hernandez has a prior felony conviction for a jewelry-related theft last year in Temecula, authorities said.

Anyone who believes they may have been victimized was asked to call the sheriff’s Lake Elsinore station at (951) 245-3357.

Man found with fatal Trial to begin for trio accused in stab wound in driveway violent home invasion LAKE ELSINORE - Deputies found a man lying in the driveway of a Lake Elsinore home suffering from a fatal stab wound, a sheriff’s sergeant said today.

Paramedics rushed the man from the home in the 15000 block of Joy Road to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead, said Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jeff

Buompensiero.

Deputies were dispatched to the home at 9:30 p.m. Saturday on an “assault with a deadly weapon” call, Buompensiero said.

Anyone with information regarding the stabbing attack was asked to call the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Central Homicide Unit at (760) 393- 3530.

Police arrest 63-year-old man for allegedly crashing car into home intentionally Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Perris Station arrested a 63-year-old man around 9:30 a.m. Sunday after he intentionally crashed his vehicle into another parked vehicle and into the front of a home in the unincorporated part of Riverside, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s report.

Craig Clayton Gurney of Riverside allegedly crashed his Chevy Tahoe into the front of a residence in the 16700 block of Villa Grove Drive and caused moderate damage to the front of the home shortly before 1 a.m. on August 3.

He also used his Tahoe to push a Honda Civic over an embankment

at the end of the driveway of the home, according to Deputy Munoz, a press information officer for the Sheriff’s Department.

Gurney appears to have left the scene of the crash after it occurred, as officers contacted him in his home. Munoz said Gurney refused to come out or cooperate with officers and Riverside County Sheriff’s Departments SWAT Team, helicopter and K-9 Unit were called to the location.

Gurney was taken into custody without incident. Gurney was arrested and booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Temecula for assault with a deadly weapon and felony vandalism.

Sheriff’s deputies patrolling the area spotted the pickup in a mobile home park in the 600 block of North State Street in Hemet and went over to investigate, at which point several people fled from the stolen vehicle, prompting deputies to surround the trailer where the pickup was parked.

Four occupants followed deputies’ commands and surrendered immediately, but one hunkered inside the trailer for hours before finally giving up.

The victim suffered non-lifethreatening injuries from which he has since recovered.

Despite criticism, county supervisors approve salary hikes Riverside County supervisors today tentatively approved hiking the salaries of five elected officials by an average 16 percent, despite criticism that the salary boosts were “insulting” and “abominable” given the stagnation or loss of wages that many workers experienced during the recent economic downturn.

In a 3-1 vote, with Chairman Jeff Stone absent and Supervisor Kevin Jeffries dissenting, the Board of Supervisors agreed with a Department of Human Resources recommendation that upward adjustments to the salaries of the auditor-controller, assessor-clerk-recorder, district attorney, sheriff and treasurer-tax collector were justified.

“Our pay is far behind our department colleagues,” AuditorController Paul Angulo told the board. “Not paying us appropriately is bad policy. It’s good public policy to pay public officers equitably.”

Angulo was the only one of the five elected officials to speak, though he was joined by former Riverside County Sheriff Cois Byrd, who urged the board to reward current Sheriff Stan Sniff for his “professional leadership” in effectively managing his department.

“I’m seldom interested enough to show up here and speak, but this is about equity and fairness,” said Byrd, who served as sheriff between 1986 and 1994. “Average the raise out over six years, and it doesn’t look too large.”

Human Resources chief Michael Stock justified the raises by pointing out that without them, the five elected officials would potentially be making less than their most senior staff members.

Union contracts and separate pay schedules ratified by the board for executive-level employees have created salary disparities known as “compaction,” under which the most high-ranking agency official receives total compensation that’s actually less than the managers working for him or her.

According to Stock, the five elected officials in line for salary increases haven’t received any ad-

justments in pay since 2008. Stock also noted that “a recent external market salary survey” comparing the earnings of similarly placed officials elsewhere supported the increases.

But several speakers expressed dismay over the size of the proposed pay hikes, which are slated to be formally approved after the board returns from its August recess.

“Your constituents have not seen salary increases even close to this,” said Temecula resident Paul Jacobs. “Many people are taking pay cuts just to find a job. It seems insulting and inappropriate to be boosting salaries by this amount.

These are positions of public trust and service. The trend of exorbitant executive compensation in government is unsustainable.”

Perris-area resident Brett Holstrom lambasted the notion of awarding pay hikes simply because “someone is aging in space or time.”

“My general impression is, this is wrong,” she told the board. “A lot of people have not regained employment since the recession.

People have lost their homes. And you’re giving raises to individuals who are doing absolutely nothing to earn it? It’s abominable.”

Though generally supportive of the adjustments, Supervisor John Benoit felt that pushing compensation levels up too much in one fell swoop was an affront to the “taxpayer’s perspective.”

Under Stock’s recommendation, the assessor-clerk-recorder, auditor-controller and treasurer-tax collector would each have received a 20 percent raise, while the district attorney and sheriff would each have gotten a 22 percent pay hike.

Supervisor John Tavaglione argued for the recommended increases, saying the agencies in question are “run by five very, very talented elected individuals.’’

Tavaglione highlighted the backgrounds and accomplishments of each incumbent, except for District Attorney Paul Zellerbach, whom the supervisor endorsed. Instead, he summarized the legal educa-

tion and work of DA-elect Mike Hestrin, who does not take office until Jan. 2.

“Here we are asking whether he deserves a raise. He has served this county damn well,’’ Tavaglione said.

Jeffries said he was “philosophically’’ opposed to the pay hikes.

“I don’t fault a department head for wanting to make as much as an executive staffer,’’ the supervisor said. “But when you jump into politics, you sacrifice a lot of things.

There’s a complete change in the rules, and with that comes a change with respect to compensation.’’

Benoit put forward a comprise that assured each of the five elected officials would receive base compensation that’s at least $1,000 more than the next highest level staff executive in their respective agencies.

Supervisors Marion Ashley and Tavaglione agreed with the formula, which will increase AssessorClerk-Recorder Larry Ward’s, Auditor-Controller Paul Angulo’s and Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent’s salaries 16 percent, from $165,727 to $191,000.

District Attorney Paul Zellerbach’s salary will rise 11 percent, from $223,166 to $247,000, and Sheriff Stan Sniff will receive a 20 percent hike, from $223,166 to 268,000.

The tentatively approved changes will put the sheriff’s base compensation well above the pay rates of his counterparts in Orange and San Bernardino counties, whose annual earnings total $207,984 and $231,924, respectively, according to salary schedules provided by those two counties.

The DA, similarly, will be receiving pay that’s roughly onefifth more than that paid to his counterpart in Orange County, and about 15 percent more than what his counterpart in San Bernardino County takes in.

San Bernardino County shares a population nearly identical in size to Riverside County, while Orange County’s population is 40 percent larger, according to census figures.

Cash at Cahuilla Casino Check it out.723-7319 VALLEY

ANZA - Cahuilla Casino is celebrating the month of August with a Carnival of Cash and over $25,000 in cash and prizes. The carnival kicks off with a party on Sunday, August 3, with drawings from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and continues with exciting giveaways and slot tournaments all month long. The fun culminates at the Payday Jackpot Party on Sunday, August 31, with giveaways from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and a $5,000 Jackpot Winner at 8 p.m..

“Our Carnival Slot Tournaments are a lot of fun for players who haven’t played in a slot tournament before,” Marketing Manager Kasaan Steigen said. “It’s fast-paced and a lot of excitement for everyone playing. Players can play up to five times per week, so players love that they can come in anytime during tournament hours and try to put up a high score.”

Slot tournament hours are every week in August on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., and Fridays from 3:00 p.m.

-7:00 p.m.

Cahuilla Casino is located in Anza, less than thirty minutes from Temecula’s wine country, with easy access via Highways 79 and 74 from the Temecula Valley, Hemet and Coachella Valley. The casino sits nestled between Cahuilla Mountain, Thomas Mountain and Beauty Mountain.

Its proximity to bigger cities and natural mountain setting make it an ideal day trip for players who regularly come from Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Los

Angeles counties.

“Players love to take the drive up the mountain to enjoy the views,” Steigen said. “but what we hear most is that they come up because of the small, friendly atmosphere and to get away from the noise and chaos of bigger casino properties.”

The casino currently features over 350 slot machines, from classics and hard-to-find favorites to the latest games. The casino offers a complimentary beverage station for players, in addition to a full service bar and restaurant.

Roadrunner’s Bar and Grill serves lunch and dinner seven days a week plus brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant is best known for its burger, which comes in eight popular varieties like the Western and Guacamole Bacon.

Other menu highlights include New York strip steak, BBQ pulled pork sandwich, turkey club sandwich and Cobb salad.

Cahuilla Casino’s player’s club offers members weekly MatchPlay and Restaurant Rewards, plus birthday, bonus and VIP offers.

“We customize our rewards to the player, so every single member of Club Cahuilla has their own personal weekly offer,” Steigen said. The casino has promotions, giveaways and slot tournaments year-round.

Cahuilla Casino is open 24 hours, 365 days a year, for players 21 and older. More information, restaurant hours and directions can be found on their website: cahuillacasino. com.

The Present Trail System: •Currently Anza has many “Removed Trails” these trails are located a distance from the center of Anza.

Some of these trails include Pacific Crest Trail, Cahuilla Mountain Trail, A non-dedicated trail up Thomas Mountain, a Trail System on Beauty Mountain Wilderness and a Trail System on National Forest lands in Garner Valley and surrounding areas.

Anza has many non-dedicated trails that are used What Residents Now Use as Trails to Access Dedicated Trails: •Dirt Roads -until they are gated.

•Road Easements •Traveling across private property, usually because no one lives there and there are no signs telling people keep out.

•Traveling across private property with permission from owner, because they are neighbors.

Allison also pointed out a Riverside County ordinance stating the County’s support for such an idea: From the Riverside Extended Mountain Area Plan – Anza Valley Policy Area- General Plan Amendment No 960 Public Review Draft March 2014 4. Provide for parks, equestrian trails and other recreation facilities that improve the quality of rural living in the community, and attract visitors and encourage tourism in the area.

Allison also explored why trail are good for and area:

Why Trails: •Studies have shown that the longer/larger the trail system, the further people will travel to visit it and the more likely they are to stay longer and spend money. Day trippers will spend four times as much money as a local user and an overnight visitor will spend twice as much as a day tripper.

•Studies show that people that live around greenways and open space have less depressed moods (Kirsten Beyer, Andrea Kaltenbach, Aniko Szabo, Sandra Bogar, F. Nieto, Kristen Malecki. Exposure to Neighborhood Green Space and Mental Health: Evidence from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2014; 11 (3): 3453) •Trails promote Market appreciation of homes of 22% vs 19% for homes not near trails (americantrails. org).

•Surveys show that homebuyers desire to live closer to open space and trails (americantrails.org).

It was discussed by the present attending citizens if they would be interested in exploring further if Anza can become a trail town and the group said they would. The next step was to put a committee together for this purpose and to hold meetings to discuss these issues.

The next meeting will be led by Allison Renck hosted at Mary Litche’s house on August 15 at 5:30 p.m.. The meeting will be a potluck, so please bring a dish to share. This committee forming meeting is open to all who are interested in the Anza Valley becoming a Trail Town.

Flash Flooding safety helps prevent injury and death tions of a possible debris flow.

Be aware of any sudden increase or decrease in water flow and notice whether the water changes from clear to muddy. These changes may mean there is debris flow activity upstream so be prepared to move quickly. Listen for sounds that indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking.

After the Flood Take photographs of damage throughout the building and around

Eighteen to 24 inches of moving water can wash an SUV off of the road. In fact, according to the National Weather Service, more than half of all flood-related deaths are people driving through flooded roads.

With the risk of flash flooding in the area over the next few days, the nonprofit Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH)® reminds residents to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!” and offers the following flood safety tips to protect your home and family.

Before the Flood Clear yard of any debris, plant material or items (garden décor, foliage, or garbage cans) that can block water flow and storm drains.

When time permits, secure and/or elevate outdoor appliances, AC units or storage tanks.

Place important papers (birth/ marriage certificates, passports, bank and insurance information) in a watertight container. Take photographs or videos to create an inventory of your personal possessions and keep the camera card handy in case of evacuation.

Identify and move electronics and other expensive items (computers, televisions, phone systems, area rugs, expensive furniture) on lower levels of the home and elevate if possible to keep them dry.

When using sandbags, fill one-half full, fold the top of sandbag down

the property. Assess stability of plaster and drywall. Bulging or swelling ceilings indicate damage. Press upward on drywall ceilings. If nail heads appear, drywall will need to be re-nailed but can be saved.

Check foundation for any loose or missing blocks, bricks, stones or mortar.

Clean and disinfect heating, air conditioning and ventilation ducts before use to avoid spread of airborne germs and mold spores. Use

fans and sunlight to dry out interior spaces. Remove all wet carpets, curtains and fabrics. Allow to air dry completely.

To learn more about how much flooding can cost you check out this cost of flooding tool provided

by FloodSmart. For information on floodproofing your home, visit FLASH or visit FEMA at http:// www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-2/floodproofing

and rest bag on its folded top.

Limit sandbag placement to three layers, unless stacked up against a building or sandbags are placed in a pyramid. Tamp each sandbag into place, completing each layer prior to starting the next layer.

Clear a path between buildings for debris flow, and lay a plastic sheet in between the building and the sand bags to control the flow and prevent water from seeping in.

During the Flood Avoid flooded areas or those with rapid water flow. Do not attempt to cross a flowing stream. It takes only six inches of fast flowing water to sweep you off your feet.

Don’t allow children to play near high water, storm drains or ditches.

Hidden dangers could lie beneath the water.

Turn Around, Don’t Drown! Flooded roads could have significant damage hidden by floodwaters. Never drive through floodwaters or on flooded roads. Water only two feet deep can float most vehicles.

Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams and washes, particularly when threatening conditions exist.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to see flooded roads.

Stay alert as conditions can be ripe for mudslides especially when driving. Watch the road for collapsed pavement, mud, and other indica-

Palestinian state.

Moreover, they were building settlements on it. The Palestinians longed to remove the Jews from ‘their’ land and during the 1980’s initiated six years of uprisings and again in 2004 under Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The most contended Palestinian land included the West Bank, next to Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip on the coast. Israel has been receptive to removing their settlements in these areas but the Arabic community still denies Israel’s right to exist, thus peace is unlikely to come to the region for some time.

Enter Hamas, which began as a Palestinian political party winning a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority Parliament in 2006. It divided the Palestinian people into moderates and extremists (even terrorists) quite willing to use terroristic tactics such as human shields and suicide bombs to achieve their objectives. Hamas seized the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian Authority, which controlled the West Bank.

It is this faction of the Palestinian people that have attacked Israel and that are responsible for the invasive tunnels into Israel. Of course, money for the costly tunnels and the missiles almost entirely comes from the Islamic states around the Holy Land.

Hopefully this historical overview will be helpful as we view the horrors of war from this part of the world. Meanwhile the missiles and death will continue.

Anza Local

The Anza Valley Attraction Annie Shaffer

by Todd Kelsey Hey, Neighbors. Welcome back.

Hope this finds you present and “all-in” for your life lately. This week we’re visiting longtime resident Annie Shaffer.

Many of you may know Annie from the True Value Variety Store in Anza, where she casually and warmly greets and serves customers every Tuesday through Friday.

She’s been there for 13 years and counting, and enjoys seeing new faces and catching up with the regulars.

Annie, and her husband of 44 years Frank, moved their family

MOUNTAIN from page A-1 animal person throughout my life I have researched new supplements and experienced the value of them, for example MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin. We used these supplements when they first came out for our animals successfully. This was some 18 years ago, before these supplements became popular as they are today for humans as well as animals.

of five up here in 1989. They had been living in Temecula, after stints in Fallbrook and Orange County, but left promptly when Temecula declared cityhood. Annie feared Temecula growing to become like Orange County, and instead she headed for the hills. As time has proven, her concerns weren’t too far off!

She wasn’t a stranger to the Anza Valley region though. Her Mom was raised in Idyllwild back in the ‘20s – ‘40s. Can you imagine the rusticity then? In fact, her Mom and Grandma ran a boarding house down in Hemet briefly, for high school kids from Anza Valley and

Idyllwild. The kids would live in Hemet during the school week, then go home on the weekends.

Annie lived in Idyllwild from 1952- 1963, as her Dad then owned Idyllwild Fuel Supply, now known as Suburban Gas. They eventually moved back down to Hemet due to her Grandfather’s health concerns.

She really enjoyed her childhood in the mountains. A highlight of that period was that Annie got to be in an Elvis Presley/Charles Bronson movie.

In 1961, the boxing movie “Kid Galahad”, featuring Elvis and a lesser known Charles Bronson, was filmed in Garner Valley and

Idyllwild. Idyllwild served as the fictional upstate New York village of Cream Valley.

Annie says she got to spend approximately four days on set, and was an extra in the training camp sparring scenes. She says it was interesting, and that the studio had approached the local school wanting kids as extras, but only kids with good grades and citizenship were allowed to do it. They even had an “on set” studio-provided teacher just for the four day experience.

Annie admits her Dad wouldn’t let her meet Elvis, but she was “enthralled” just to watch him close up

in action. When the movie released, she was a little disappointed that it wasn’t more kid-friendly, like “Blue Hawaii” had been, another Elvis movie from that period. But the Garner Valley/Idyllwild scenery sure was pretty!

Getting back to the present, Annie likes small community living in Anza Valley. She likes the relaxed feeling up here, and the friendly people she meets and knows. Many will stop by the Variety Store just to say hello, and inquire about her husband Frank, and his health.

So when I read the ingredients in these formulated King Feeds and heard their price point I was impressed. Before, animal owners at great expense would have to buy individual supplements or some small combination of them that targeted one problem but not all the problems that might have affected an animal. Being on a budget (as most of us are raising a family), I could not afford to

buy all the different supplements needed.

I would often have to pick one targeted supplement and stick with that for a while until it did its job and then switch to another until it did its job. To find a feed formulated to treat the whole animal economically was unheard of until I heard of King Feeds.

I was also impressed by Sandra Burnet; she had a caring way about her and said to call her anytime I needed advice. I learned that Sandra was a scientist and nutritional lecturer who was working for King Feeds. (In the future while researching King Feeds, I found out that it is a California family owned and operated company since 1938, who take pride in the quality and consistency of their product.) Sandra explained that King Feed made formulas combining quality supplements with quality feed to fit an animal’s different needs. They even had an organic line of animal feeds that is GMO free.

I asked her where I could get these wonderful speciallyformulated King Feeds and the closest feed store that would carry them was very far away. I asked if maybe someday she would sell them locally and she said maybe in a few years.

Well this year in the spring, I miss the equestrian seminar at LRE and missed seeing Sandra but I heard through the grapevine that she did it! She finally started a feed store featuring King Feed formulas and more this April.

This July, I visited her for the first time at her new feed store: Mountain Feed & Hay in Mountain Center right next to the Post Office where Hwy 74 and 243 meet. It had been awhile since I saw her friendly smiling face and it was good to see her. I could not wait to see how her new venture had turned out.

That day Sandra was also holding an open air Art and Farm Market, on “The Green” right next to her Mountain Feed & Hay store.

There were at least 10 vendors offering goods of all kinds from artwork, hanging gardens, chimes and hats to organic produce, jams and jellies and more. Sandra was hands-on making sure the vendors were happy and introducing us to everyone. To our delight we already knew many of the vendors.

We toured the grounds and visited the feed store, an interesting mix of indoor and outdoor areas.

Inside the main part of the store is fashioned after an old time mercantile. A variety of specialty food items and gifts for home, hearth, and outdoors spaces created by local artists and craftsman were featured.

“I wanted it to have the feel of

an old time general store where people came not just to shop but to hang out, where the relationship with us and our customer is built on mutual trust and customer service. We do things differently from any other feed store, we do a lot of things on a hand shake.” said Sandra. “Example: I had a customer that was not sure about the formula I had suggested she try. I said take it home try it if it does not work then you do not have to pay for it. If it does then come back and pay and she did.

Do you know anyone else who would do that?

Of course they carry King Feed Formulas for pets, horses, poultry and livestock.

“Most feed stores have to buy 5 tons of product; not with King Feeds,” Sandra explained. “I can order a pallet once a week, which gives Mountain Feed & Hay a unique advantage.”

Sandra has a separate storage shed in the shade - a cool room in which she stores her different King Feeds. This practice combined with purchasing smaller quantities weekly, sustains the quality and freshness of the feed.

There is a line of non-grain dog food made with natural ingredients by Black Gold. When reading the list of ingredients it sounds like it came straight off the farm: chicken, sweet potatoes the list goes on. They also carry all kinds of premium quality hay for every need, such as Alfalfa, Bermuda, Meadow, Orchard, Timothy and Straw.

Just like that day when I first met her two years earlier, Sandra is always happy to help animal lovers with their pet and livestock nutritional issues. Helping to prevent and to solve health issues is what led her into the field she pursued as her life’s work.

She has always had the heart to help others and in her early days was on path to become a doctor.

During an interview a professor asked her, “why do you want to become a doctor?” The standard answer would normally be to help people get well. Sandra thought about it and said truthfully, “I want to help them to never get sick.” The professor then counciled her that to do this she should not become a doctor. At that time that is not what they did, they were taught only to deal with the already sick people not to prevent sickness through nutrition.

And so she took the professors advice, to her mother’s dismay, and pursued the scientific fields of research and product development, and of nutrition and supplements. Not only to help fix health issues, but as a way to possibly avoid health risks altogether. In the end that is why she went to

work for King Feeds.

Because of her concern for animal and people’s health the animal care products they stock on hand are on the natural side.

She also stocks other items for pets, horses, poultry and livestock needs, including a line of feed and supplies for domestic birds of all sizes, wild birds too. Sandra says, “Our selection of grain free pet feeds, GMO/Soy/Corn free livestock feeds, and our line of natural, non-toxic products keep you, your animals and the environment healthy.”

For Sandra Brunet stocking premium quality King Feed formulas, premium quality hays, premium quality Kensington horse supplies and other premium quality items she carries is one of the reasons she started Mountain Feed & Grain. “I wanted a place where people could get premium quality feed and supplies for the animal care needs without having to travel so far. There was no place on the mountain that carried such items until I opened my store,” said Sandra.

“Some hear the words ‘quality or premium’ and think it must be expensive when it really is not. It is about value. The reason you buy King Feed is so you do not have to buy a lot of separate supplements. So you do not have in the long run, un-needed vet bills. You buy Kensington products because they carry a life time replacement warranty.

You can replace and item for any reason at half the purchase price,” explained Sandra.

That day as we travel up the hill towards Mountain Center I was reminded why I enjoyed living in the country so much, my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful changing terrain from open valley to the pines. That day we had enjoyed visiting with old acquaintances at the open air Art and Farm Market and meeting new ones. We enjoyed the tour of the new Mountain Feed & Hay store, and seeing what was once only a dream of someday, becoming a reality for Sandra Brunet.

That day my husband went home with jam, a hat, Bavarian nuts and a big smile, and I finally got the King Feed formulas I needed to help my animal friends.

And as Sandra would say - her new place is where, “Modern convenience meets old fashioned charm.” It is worth the drive.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

A mortgage that pays me?

Reverse mortgage provides seniors with additional income

By Paul Bandong “There are a lot of misconceptions and mis-information about reverse mortgages,” says Owen Coyle, a reverse mortgage expert.

Television ads with celebrities are relatively commonplace and are often utilized to educate the public on this little-known and often misunderstood government program.

Politician Jack Kemp, Senator Fred Thompson, and actors Peter Graves and Henry Winkler have all been spokespersons attempting to inform the public. But what exactly is a reverse mortgage, and how does it work?

A reverse mortgage (also known as a home equity conversion mortgage) is a government-insured loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) that allows senior homeowners to access a percentage of the equity in their homes and convert it into tax-free cash without selling the home or paying mortgage payments.

The government program was designed to help senior homeowners in retirement: to eliminate debts (mortgages and unsecured loans), to have a larger steady income, or to have a large source of savings to use.

Unlike other mortgages, there are no monthly payments. The equity in the home is used as the basis for the loan. The mortgagee can live in the home as long as he or she likes without having mortgage payments.

The loan is re-paid out of the value of the home when it is sold.

There is a common misconception that homeowners who take out reverse mortgages no longer own their homes. The title of the home remains with the homeowner as long as he or she pays the taxes and the insurance (and complies with loan terms). Banks and lenders can only take title if the mortgagee does not meet their obligations. There is no risk of foreclosure since there are no mortgage payments.

Qualification is simple: A person must be 62-years-old or older, own their home, have equity in the home and occupy it as a primary residence (183 days or more each year). Applicants must not have previously defaulted on any government loans. Currently seniors are not required to have good credit or income, but there may be upcoming changes that will make qualification a little more difficult.

Eligible properties include single family residences, 2-4 unit dwellings, condominiums and manufactured homes (with land ownership).

There are significant benefits to the reverse mortgage. The owner can continue to live in the home as long as they wish without having to worry about mortgage payments.

Payments do not need to be made on the loan as long as the mortgagee continues to reside there.

The source of funds can improve the quality

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens The drought tolerant garden with, and some that I recommend.

First, a drought tolerant plant is one that can survive drought, but that doesn’t mean it can go without water. Surviving and thriving are two different things.

Many of the drought tolerant plants we use here in Southern California come from similar areas of the world, such as the Mediterranean, Australia, South Africa and Madagascar, to name a few. The most drought tolerant plants are indigenous to the area; we’ll discuss those more in an upcoming article.

Obviously, some of the top drought tolerant plants are cactuses and succulents. I’ve discussed varieties in my previous articles here.

An important thing to know is that not all cacti and succulents can take freezing temps. This is why it’s so important to know your climate zone and the plant’s climate zone.

Here in Temecula we are Zone 9a, Fallbrook is Zone 10 and Anza is Zone 8b.

Drought tolerant plants do extremely well on drip irrigation.

By Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello, fellow gardeners! This week I’d like to discuss what we call “drought tolerant” gardening and the plants that we can use to implement this.

Water isn’t getting cheaper or more plentiful, is it? In previous articles I’ve recommended “Lawn alternatives” and have recommended drought tolerant plants. Here I am going to start talking about what a drought tolerant plant is to begin

Some drought tolerant plants - a Buddleia, Miscanthus, Crown of Thorns, Agave celsii and some echiveras.

How to protect your furnishings when entertaining guests Hosts open their doors to guests for various reasons. Throwing a party is a great way to socialize with friends and family or mark special occasions like graduations or anniversaries.

Hosting a get-together often requires a lot of work and, depending on the scale of the party, may even prove a considerable financial undertaking. But entertaining also subjects a home to some wear and tear, which can be prevented when hosts make protecting their furnishings a priority.

Stop stains before they start Choosing wisely with regard to foods and beverages can reduce the risk of stained carpets or furnishings. Items such as tomato-based sauces, red wine, beets, chocolate, and other dark edibles may be delicious, but such items also can permanently damage fabrics and carpeting if they are dropped, especially if the stain is not immediately treated.

Choose foods that will be less likely to stain. White wine and clear beverages will not cause as much anxiety as colas or darker bever-

ages. Finger foods that can be eaten in one or two bites may be your best option, as such fare negates the need for cumbersome dinner plates and the potential for foods to roll off the side.

If you choose to serve foods that need to be eaten with a fork, select shapes that are more likely to stay put. Flatten Swedish meatballs into patties, and opt for chicken wings instead of drumsticks. Choose a pasta that’s hollow, as such pastas are easier to skewer with a fork.

It’s also wise to keep food contained to one particular area, usually an area with a tile or wood floor that can be easily cleaned and cleared of stains.

damaging their furniture should invest in inexpensive slipcovers, which are made to fit over a wide variety of furniture, including sofas, love seats, recliners, and even dining room chairs. Select a material that can be washed in a washing machine.

Slipcovers come in different styles. Some feature tie-backs to keep the cover in place, while others must be stretched over the fabric to fit more snugly.

In addition to considering slipcovers, move knickknacks or other fragile yet valuable items out of rooms where guests will spend time.

Ceramic collectibles or a priceless piece of art can be safely stored elsewhere until the party is over.

This saves you the stress of worrying about items being knocked over or broken during the party.

Place a carpet runner or an area rug over areas of the carpeting that figure to get a lot of foot traffic during the party. This can guard against ground-in stains. Be sure to place small mats next to entryways to reduce the amount of debris brought into the house from outdoors. You can ask guests to remove their shoes, but keep in mind that such a request may make some guests uncomfortable.

Encourage guests to be neat Do not expect guests to clean all of their messes, but you can encourage them to be neat. Have plenty of trash and recycling receptacles around. Regularly check the pails to make sure they aren’t overflowing.

Put cloth guest towels in the bathrooms so guests can easily dry their hands. Provide a marker or wine tag so that guests can identify their beverage cups and glasses, which should lead to less waste as the party progresses.

Relax as much as possible Think of the reasons you are hosting the party. Realize that your house will not be pristine after all the guests leave, but unless you turn a blind eye, it likely won’t be trashed, either. Worrying about messes and damage will make it hard for you to have fun, so try to relax and the enjoy the party.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Buyers: Be prepared or be left behind urban environment and the other out in the country – all for $900 a month? Well, you need to work this out with your partner (or yourself) long before you ever cross your first threshold. Determine what you want, what you need, where you want to be and a realistic budget.

Open escrow – finish line in sight Sure, you found the perfect home and have an accepted offer for a price you like, but it’s not yours yet and you still have a lot of work to get done if you are going to close on time…or at all (always remember, not every escrow closes).

Escrow can be anti-climactic after all of the energy that went into finding your new abode but you can’t slow down now – stay focused and do what needs to be done.

This includes showing up for all of the inspections, when they are scheduled. Be sure to work closely with your lender, providing all of the necessary documentation (yes there will be hoops to jump through) they need when then ask for it. Remain flexible because there will be unforeseen things that will happen that will require your

John Occhi and Mike Mason The buying season is in full swing. Odds are that if you are going to buy a Temecula-Murrieta home this year, you’ll buy by September.

Sure, you’ve been getting your financial affairs in order and you’ve been up at night searching the Internet and browsing again first thing each morning at all of the available homes for sale…but are you really ready to jump in and do what it takes?

Think of finding and purchasing a new home as a marathon. It’s not going to happen over-night and it’s not going to be easy. Just like in a 26.2 mile marathon most of the preparation must be achieving a mental attitude that you are in it for the long run. Don’t give up and don’t look for shortcuts; be persistent and be consistent.

Looking for a deal or a home?

Many buyers will wear themselves out searching for “the right home” to fall in love with only to lose their dream by insisting on submitting a low ball offer. What’s sad is that many buyers will repeat the process several times before they realize this may not be the best tactic if they want to move before school starts in the fall.

Smarter buyers, with a local agent who’s in-tune with the market, will know and understand the current market trends and know what homes are selling for in each specific neighborhood you are shopping in.

Current market conditions do not support the notion that low-ball offers will gain any respect from this year’s sellers who are still hoping for a repeat of last year’s buying frenzy that saw multiple offers and a nearly 25 percent increase in value.

Do yourself a favor and prepare reasonable fair market offers. Use current and reliable data to structure your offers and don’t rely on your need to negotiate the best deal.

If it’s meant to be…It’s meant to be There will be homes that you

MORTGAGE from page B-1 of life and give “peace of mind.”

The funds lent are tax-free (but not tax-deductible), and can be used for any purpose.

These could be things like vacations, medical expenses, paying off existing mortgage or debts, home improvements, long-term care insurance, care-givers, etc.

A reverse mortgage is a safe way to increase and supplement retirement income. The program does not interfere with Social Security or Medicare benefits. It may affect Medicaid benefits.

The amount owed can never exceed the value of the home.

Current and future equity accrues to the benefit of the homeowner.

The mortgagee can select how they want to receive the equity income: monthly income, lump sum, credit line, or a combination thereof for life. According to Coyle, the adjustable rate Line of Credit has become a popular option for many seniors, who see it as an attractive “investment vehicle.”

The home can be left to children and heirs. If the home loses value, children and heirs will not be responsible for paying off the outstanding debt (federal insurance pays off the non-recourse loan to the lender).

There are also disadvantages to the program. FHA charges a mortgage insurance premium – to protect both lender and borrower – that must be paid upfront in loan closing fees. Since this is a loan, monies (interest expense) regularly due as payments accrue on the balance of the loan, potentially increasing the loan balance over time; this often can be offset with increases in home values that increase the home’s equity.

really want. You’ve analyzed all of the data with your realtor. You structure the cleanest best offer and then you submit it. At this point, if you are going to maintain a healthy mental attitude, you have to let go of the outcome.

If the home you are fighting for is supposed to be yours and you have this type of positive mental attitude then the success will be that much sweeter and the loss much easier to deal with if you find yourself back on the street looking for that perfect home again!

Are your priorities in alignment with buying a home?

It’s a tough question; your instinct is, “of course!” If that’s the case, when your agent notifies you that a home that meets every want and need on your list and is within budget in the desired neighborhood, did you drop what you were doing to go look at it or did you ask to schedule a showing for Saturday afternoon after Juniors little league game?

Do you keep getting overbid because you are asking for a 60 day

escrow? Maybe you want the seller to contribute three percent towards your closing costs plus pay for a home warranty.

The truth is there are many variables to every offer and typically lots of competition. You need to be working with an agent you trust so that you can trust your agents’ advice and harness his expertise.

Consider each setback and learn from the experience – don’t become a victim of repetition.

The loan comes due (payable to the lender) at the death of the mortgagee, the sale of the home or if the mortgagee moves out (e.g., to a nursing home facility), potentially reducing the equity available to be passed on to heirs.

The estate has approximately six months to repay the loan and can opt to refinance or sell the property and take the remaining equity. Often, the lender calls the loan, takes possession of the home and sells it to repay the loan. Again, heirs are not responsible for the shortfall if the home sells for less than the balance of the loan.

Age and equity are the primary determining factors for how much money one can receive. The 2013 maximum loan limit in Southern

California was $625,000.

There are pros and cons to reverse mortgages, but be assured that this is a government-backed program designed to help seniors. Seek the help and advice of reverse mortgage professionals to completely understand the risks and benefits and to navigate the process.

TV buyers are in fantasy land If you ever watch any of the multiple television shows on the process of buying real estate you may be gaining some insight but trust me – this is not real.

First off, it is near impossible to look at three houses and one of them becomes perfect. It’s going to take much more than this.

Second, the couple who doesn’t know what they want really need to decide and not rely on their realtor to figure it out for them. How many couples have you seen on TV where one wants to live in an

Real Estate / Home & Garden GARDENING from page B-1 This form of irrigation saves you water and puts the water you do use exactly where it can benefit plant roots the most, so it’s a top recommendation of mine. Why water the fence anyway?

This is opposed to typical sprinklers, which lose up to 40 percent of their water to evaporation. Ever notice that mist going up into the air when most sprinklers are running?

Ground cover is a top recommendation of mine when it comes to keeping moisture in the soil.

Whether your choice of ground cover consists of rocks (gravel) or shredded bark, one thing will remain the same: evaporation will be limited.

If you have soil that drains very quickly, I recommend adding some good compost. Compost is good for all plants, including succulents.

But, if you’re going to be adding it to a succulent garden, be sure to water that garden less as the soil will be able to hold more water.

Now comes the part where I’m going to go over various types of plants. All of these plants different purposes in the landscape so unless you want to hire a professional, the choice is up to you to decide how to arrange them in your landscape.

“Crape Myrtle”, or Lagerstroemia indica – this is a smaller tree and it does great in heat; it has beautiful flowers in summer and fall color.

“Strawberry Tree”, or Arbutus ‘Marina’ – this is a beautiful, medium-sized evergreen.

“Chinese Pistache”, or Pistacia chinensis – This is deciduous, slow growing, tree that gets to be medium to large in size eventually; it has incredible fall color!

“Mulga”, or Acacia aneura – A nice smaller sized silvery gray

Prostrate Junipers - There are several varieties out there, and they are all good. Be sure to check variety and zone.

EVERYTHING ELSE Too much to cover here, but clumping grasses are a favorite.

Varieties I recommend would be: Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Dwarf Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Yakushima’), Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca), Dwarf Fountain Grass(Pennisetum alopecuroides) and New Zealand Flax (Phormium tenax).

Lambs Ears – Stachys lanata or byzantin – are both great; they have large grey fuzzy leaves and are low growing. They make a great ground cover if you let them spread.

Kangaroo Paws (Anigazanthos flavidus) and Gaura lindheimeri are both great flowering plants.

Rock Purslane (Calandrina grandiflora) This is a fantastic succulent with tall spikes of bright magenta flowers all summer long.

Rose Care FUNdamentals for August 2014 Frank Brines ARS Consulting Rosarian

Recent severe weather all over the world and especially in the Western U.S. indicates the unpredictability to be expected in the future. Globally June 2014 was the warmest June on record.

Locally it seemed insignificant while daily temperatures fluctuated from above and below ‘normal.’

The last days of July 2014 continue to bring us more unstable conditions and high temperatures predicted to continue into August.

Here in the Temecula Valley, we typically can expect these high temperatures to continue through September, sometimes into October.

Gardeners will be forced to adjust their practices or be more disciplined in using current proven methods to minimize the influences in order to be able to roll with these changes.

Some local gardens had a nice show of blooms into July due to short, hot periods. I’ve had some reports of plant and blossom sunburn. This is the result of the plant being unable to hydrate at the same rate as its evaporation.

As I have been advocating for the past four years, after the June/ July bloom cycle, let your roses, “do whatever they do.” That is, let the hips develop. Just remove the petals and discard them, and keep the bed clean of debris while keeping your rose bushes well-hydrated. Make sure you don’t fertilize.

Take a daily tour of your garden to look for any changes. It doesn’t take long for a rose to suffer if its irrigation supply fails. Examine the lower leaves. If they appear yellow or brown, have fine webbing and/or look dirty, there may be an infestation of spider mites. Mites thrive in hot weather.

They’re generally found on the undersides of those leaves. A strong spray of water from below followed by an overhead shower should take care of the problem or, at least, hold it in check. Give the shower early in the day so the plant has time to dry before the sun becomes hot. It may be necessary to repeat after a few days if the infestation is heavy.

Gardeners are always faced with

risks. One recently came to my attention through a Dr. Gott. It’s a dangerous fungus with the scientific name Sporothrix schenckii. This fungus is the source of the fungus infection sporotrichosis. It is often referred to as the Rose Thorn ( or Rose Gardener’s) Disease.

The fungus resides on hay, sphagnum moss, the tips of rose thorns and in soil. It can cause infection, redness, swelling and open ulcers at the puncture site. The fungus can also spread to the lymphatic system and move on to the joints and bones where it ends up attacking the central nervous system and lungs when the thorn or thorns are deeply imbedded.

A relatively uncommon condition, diagnosis can be complicated.

Physicians often mistake it as Staph or Strep infection. If you suspect this condition, be sure to inform your physician that you are a gardener so appropriate diagnosis and treatment are rendered.

We all enjoy the fragrance and beauty of roses, and have often had our skin pierced by thorns (“prickles” is the correct anatomical name).

Good protective measures include wearing appropriate clothing (gloves, long sleeves, or gauntlets) when working among roses and thoroughly cleansing even minor scratches and punctures with an anti-bacterial soap.

Rubbing alcohol—which you should already have handy to clean your pruners—can be applied as an immediate wash until you can use anti-bacterial soap.

Anything more than a minor puncture should be watched carefully for signs of infection; seek medical attention as soon as possible if you show any of the signs described above.

Even the simple things in life have risks—take precautions so you can stop and smell the roses.

And when you’ve got a moment to spare, go visit Rose Haven, located at 30592 Jedediah Smith Road (the cross street is Cabrillo Avenue) in Temecula. Also, visit our web site, www.TemeculaValleyRoseSociety. org. You might also want to visit Meetup.com and search on Temecula Valley Rose Society to find events of interest to you.

Murrieta church holding ‘Back to School Bash’ to benefit students in need 1,000 backpacks to be given away Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News

Martin said that this year’s bash will be their biggest yet. Last year they gave away 500 backpacks and this year it’s been increased to 1,000.

“We had to turn away many, many people last year so that’s why we made the decision to double our backpacks this year,” he said. They also plan on increasing the number of hairdressers from 20 to 40 because of the last year’s need for more haircuts.

“There’s a statistic out there that 11 percent of children in Riverside County won’t start school on time because they don’t have supplies,” Martin said, explaining why the non-denominational Christian church sponsors the bash. “We knew that there was something we

Students will also be given donated clothing, haircuts and sports physicals.

The free bash will feature a pancake breakfast, live music and bounce houses. Also, Christian radio stations Air1 and KSDW will be present broadcasting the morning’s events.

could do in our valley to fix the problem.”

The bash is part of the church’s Community Care program that serves about 75 families each week. “Every Sunday we give away free food and clothing to people,” Martin said. The clothing and food are mainly donated by church members. Some food pantries in Perris and Norco also donate to the program.

Church member Mike Bebout oversees the Community Care events and is coordinating the bash. Martin said that over 100 church members have volunteered to help in some way with it. About 20 of the volunteers spent time stuffing two different styles of backpacks with every imaginable school supply. One backpack style is for elementary school students and the other is for middle and high school students.

Donations for the bash come from Richie’s Diner, Organic Roots, Starbucks and church members. Plus, there was a “generous grant from Walmart,” Martin said. Large tents are being be provided by Premier Party and Tent Rentals and will be set up in the church’s parking lot for the bash.

Health

Natural ways to alleviate acid reflux Acid reflux is one of the more common, not to mention painful, side effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. The Florida Hospital estimates that more than 60 million adults in the United States suffer from symptoms of acid reflux each month, and almost half experience symptoms every day. Finding relief can be challenging, but there are a variety of treatments available, including some drug-free alternatives.

There is no cure for acid reflux, but there are ways to manage the condition and prevent permanent damage to the esophagus.

Many people rely on protonpump inhibitors, or PPIs, to keep acid reflux at bay. PPIs are one of the more commonly prescribed medications for acid reflux, and while they may be beneficial for short-term treatment of acid reflux, the U.S. Food and Drug Administrationrecently cautioned against prolonged use of PPIs. Many acid-stopping medications can inhibit nutrient absorption, reduce resistance to infection and may cause vitamin deficiencies.

They also have been shown to increase the risk of bone fractures and dementia.

Rather than taking medication, some people might be able to make certain lifestyle changes to relieve acid reflux.

• Pay attention to the foods you eat. Acidic foods, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits and even raisins, can increase the amount of acid in the stomach. Choose foods that are less likely to aggravate symptoms and can alleviate pain and flare-ups.

Foods that will absorb acid are safe bets. For example, oatmeal is a filling, hearty food that can combat acidproblems. Stick to lean poultry that is baked, broiled or grilled. Remove the fatty skin, as it may cause digestive issues.

• Use natural digestion enhancers. Remember those homespun remedies Mom used to whip up when you had an upset stomach?

They can be equally effective for acid reflux. Ginger root has long been used to calm the stomach. Ginger can be made into tea or added to recipes and smoothies.

Fennel, a licorice-flavored vegetable, may improve stomach function. Some people like to eat it after a meal to aid digestion. Parsley has been used as a medicinal herb to settle the stomach for thousands of years. Parsley can add flavor to meals and serve as an attractive garnish.

• Stock up on apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar has uses beyond flavoring in favorite

recipes. It also can soothe acid reflux symptoms. It’s believed the vinegar plays a role in maintaining healthy bacteria in the stomach, and that this bacteria eases digestion.

Try mixing one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into four ounces of water to drink before, during or after a meal. Apple cider vinegar also can be spread on salad.

• Practice portion control at mealtime. Overindulging at mealtime can cause intestinal discomfort, which may contribute to acid reflux. Opt for more frequent and smaller meals instead of larger infrequent ones. Also, remain upright for two to three hours after eating to promote good digestion.

• Elevate your head. If acid reflux symptoms tend to strike at night or while you are lying down, elevating your head in bed can help.

Use pillows to prop yourself up or find another way to keep your head elevated until symptoms subside.

• Shed some pounds. Many doctors recommend weight loss

to alleviateacid reflux. Losing 10 to 15 pounds can decrease pressure on the stomach and the lower esophageal sphincter, which is the muscle at the band of the stomach and esophagus.

• Quit tobacco products. Smokers have a higher incidence of GERD than nonsmokers, so quitting smoking may help alleviate acid reflux symptoms. Even if stopping smoking has minimal effect on your acid reflux, it will still improve your overall health.

• Drink more water between meals. Water hydrates the body and flushes out toxins that can build up in the digestive tract. Water also may help dilute stomach acid.

However, do not drink tons of water with a meal, as this may stimulate the stomach to produce more acid to maintain digestion.

Chewing gum when water is not available can stimulate saliva production. Saliva is naturally alkaline and can counteract the overproduction of acid.

Acid reflux can be a nuisance or downright painful. Before reaching for medication, consider a few lifestyle changes to alleviate acid reflux.

Looking good and feeling healthy are top priorities for many women.

In addition to spending hours researching the latest beauty regimens and spending thousands on products that promise everything from turning back the hands of time to making hair thicker and more resilient, women could be engaging in a few habits that may be doing more harm than good. As cosmetic procedures and beauty trends are passed down from generation to generation, some women may be unsure what is best for them and which habits need tweaking.

According to a recent survey from YouBeauty.com, a majority of women say they spend anywhere from $5 to $15 per month on beauty products, not including skincare products. But are those efforts fruitful? Here are some common beauty faux pas that women likely want to avoid.

• Scrubbing skin: Dermatologists say the skin naturally sheds dead cells, so for most people it is unnecessary to use harsh exfoliants or scouring pads to rid the skin of dead cells. In fact, exfoliating the skin too much can cause irritation and excess dryness over time. Try to exfoliate your face and body no more than twice a week, advises the American Board of Dermatology. Even those with oily skin should scale back, as exfoliating too frequently can actually cause oil glands to produce more oil. Use an easy hand when exfoliating to avoid redness.

• Popping pimples: Both women and men are guilty of popping pimples. It can be quite difficult to resist popping a pimple that has sprouted in the middle of your face, but doing so can cause irritation and spread bacteria, and you may end up getting more blemishes as a result. If you cannot resist popping the pimple, cleanse the area first, use a warm cloth or steam to help bring the blemish to a head and use tissue-covered fingers to apply gentle pressure. Then use an antibacterial cleanser to clean the area again.

• Wrapping wet hair in a towel turban: Gathering wet locks together and twisting them into a towel is a recipe for damage and

Change these bad beauty habits breakage. Wet hair is more delicate than dry hair, and it can stretch or break more easily. Gently squeeze hair dry with the towel and then use a detangling spray to make it easier to comb out knots. Putting hair too tightly in elastics and wearing them for long periods of time can result in thinning of the hair or a condition known as traction alopecia over time.

• Failing to clean makeup tools: All of those brushes, wands and applicators need to be routinely washed with a mild cleanser and allowed to air dry. Otherwise, they become harbingers of bacteria and even mold. You can risk infection if you are using a dirty brush near the eyes or nasal passages. Aim to wash cosmetic tools at least once a week if you wear makeup every day.

• Layering products: You may have a relative beauty arsenal tucked into your medicine cabinet, but while these products may work well on their own, there is no way

to know how they will interact.

Less is more when using different beauty serums. Experiment with each item separately to gauge skin reaction and if an allergy is present.

• Poor washing habits: Some women fall into bed at night without washing makeup from their faces. While this is alright once in a while, it may lead to irritation or blemishes over time. Surprisingly, too much washing of the face can be just as bad, especially if you are soaping up in the morning as well.

You could be stripping your face of helpful oils at the start of the day, when skin needs added protection from the elements. Stick to washing your face at night so it can naturally restore itself while you sleep.

Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent The closure of Chandler’s Office Supply in Evanston, Illinois, in 1995 was caused by the retirement of the owners along with competition from national chain stores. The good news is that the store didn’t close because Northwestern University students defaulted on their Chandler’s credit card debt.

When I was a Northwestern freshman Chandler ’s Office Supply gave me my first credit card. They probably realized that students weren’t at risk of overspending at an office supply store. My first year at Northwestern also saw First Bank Evanston give me my first check-

ing account, and when I used the Chandler’s credit card I paid off the amount. That became the start of my credit history.

Before I graduated from college I also accepted offers for gasoline and department store credit cards. It’s possible for some people to overspend at a department store, although at mid1980s gas prices the oil companies faced minimal risk of young adults spending more than they were able to pay.

In 1986 Sears introduced its Discover Card, and shortly afterward that was my next step in credit card acquisition. Ironically, Sears turned me down for a credit card even though Discover accepted me.

A couple of the gasoline cards weren’t used after I returned to California. There are no Conoco stations in California to my knowledge, and while my Amoco card was allegedly usable at Chevron stations few of them took it. Eventually my Amoco card was converted into a MasterCard, which gave me my first “big two” credit card. That allowed me to use the major credit card at bookstores and restaurants, although I had been doing that with the Discover Card.

Since I was paying off the charges, I didn’t consider using credit cards instead of cash to be overuse. In fact, I was building up my positive credit history. I was able to purchase my house without ever having bought a car on credit (to this day I’ve never owned a new car), so all those credit card purchases served a purpose even if I could have paid cash in some instances.

Thus my advice to young adults is to use credit cards wisely to build up a credit history and have the ability to make major purchases such as a house or a car.

My financial advice to college students also includes focusing on finding a spouse rather than on grades. If I had dropped out of college and gotten married early when the right woman was available I wouldn’t have the three children I do now, so even if I could go back and do it over again I wouldn’t, but divorce can create some very adverse financial situations. My marriage to a woman who wasn’t spending “her” money, the divorce and child support obligations, and the bankruptcy gave some Latin American governments better credit ratings

than I had. For six years I had no credit cards or checking account.

I thought not having credit cards or a checking account would be a handicap. Instead it turned out to be an administrative advantage. If I paid by credit card I’d have to come up with the money anyway, but if I paid by cash or money order that was the final transaction. I didn’t have to deal with credit card statements or reconciling checking account balances. Some spending sacrifice in other areas to allow me to pay in cash up front actually made things easier.

Ironically, even when I had gasoline credit cards I often made sure I had enough cash to pay the bill just in case the credit card didn’t work - although that was easier in the 1980s when I could fill my tank for $20.

I still had nothing to lose by applying for credit cards with no annual fee - in fact, having them reject me meant that I wouldn’t be inundated with repeat requests. And if promotional booths were giving away items for applying for a credit card, I didn’t have to give those back if my application was rejected. Eventually I began receiving credit cards again, although my preference for cash payments remained. I consider it a bit of a victory when a couple of my credit cards were cancelled for non-use rather than for non-payment; I definitely don’t consider those cancellations to be losses. I’ve probably also lost out on some rewards points, since using specific credit cards enough to accumulate sufficient points for redemption isn’t worth the personal administrative hassle.

Currently I use credit cards for one of two reasons. The first is an emergency. The second is when I’m out of town and I want to save my cash for places which don’t take credit cards, and the out-oftown expenditures also include hotel reservations which require a credit card for an advance deposit. The rest of the time I still pay cash.

I thus recommend frequent use of credit cards for those who are building up credit and have the ability to pay off what they spend through plastic. I also recommend credit cards for emergencies and for out-of-town travel. In other situations, however, cash is not only a precaution against overspending but is also the easiest type of payment.
