Hemet City Manager Alex Meyerhoff resigned his post, Aug. 8, after a closed session city council meeting. He served 20 months as city manager. Tony Ault photo

It was announced that after less than two years on the job, Alex Meyerhoff resigned his position as the Hemet city manager following a Hemet City Council closed session meeting Aug. 8. Hemet City Attorney Eric Vail made the announcement as the city council came out of the closed-door session and said that the Hemet police chief will be acting city manager until a replacement can be hired. It is the second time Chief David Brown has sat on the dais as the city’s acting city manager. The first was March 15 after Wally Hill was fired. Meyerhoff’s letter was accepted by members of the city council with Mayor Pro Tem Michael Perciful, who was in San Francisco, sitting

in on the closed session through computer instant messaging. For weeks, the city council has been sitting in closed sessions, discussing Meyerhoff’s performance review. It was apparent during the regular council meetings there were differences of opinion between him and councilmembers Karlee Meyer and Perciful. Vail, in announcing Meyerhoff’s letter of resignation, said “the parties recognized that it was time for an amicable separation that is mutually desirable and over time have developed significant differences of opinion concerning management directions of the city and these differences have become reconcilable. The council has accepted Alex Meyerhoff’s resignation.” Meyerhoff will be on

Murrieta Citizen’s Fire Academy fans the flames for students Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

How many firefighters does it take to put out an ordinary kitchen fire? Murrieta Fire Chief Scott Ferguson said, “15-16 firefighters.” And how many firefighters are on duty in the city of Murrieta at any given time? “Just 16 firefighters,” he said. Participants in the Murrieta Fire and Rescue Department Citizen’s Fire Academy will learn this tidbit of information and much more during the eight-week citizens’ course, which kicked off Wednesday, Aug. 9. They will learn about everything from history of the fire department, which was founded in 1947, well before the city incorporated in 1991, to actual fire department procedures, Murrieta Fire Department management analyst Dawn Morrison said Wednesday. “They get to hear a little bit about the sexy stuff, the things that you see and you feel and you experience, all

the way down to the reality, which is much of what we do is business,” Ferguson said. The academy consists of eight three-hour long classes, broken up into a lecture component and an interactive component in which citizens will be able to get out in the field wearing actual fire department gear. The academy also includes food for participants. “We try to nourish their minds and Members of the 2016 Murrieta Citizen’s Fire Academy learn about ladder truck safety.

Hemet crime reporting reward program explained Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Responding to several inquiries from the public, Hemet’s acting City Manager and Police Chief Dave Brown brought Lt. Eddie Pust to explain to the city council and the public, Aug. 8, the different methods of how residents can collect up to $10,000 in rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those committing serious felonies. Currently the Hemet Police Department is seeking information in six homicides and one suspicious death that have occurred in the city since 2009 that remain unsolved, as reported on the Hemet Police Department’s Rewards Page at www. cityofhemet.org. The city of Hemet offers rewards for information leading to the identity, arrest and conviction of persons responsible for committing serious crimes including those which result in serious injury or death.

Pust made a video presentation of the different ways people can provide information about serious crimes, some anonymously, that may bring them rewards of up to $10,000. They include the city’s anonymous tip line at (866) 640-8477; online tips at www.crimestoppersplus.org and on Facebook at www. facebook.com/ValleyCrimeStoppersPlus. Pust said the amount of the reward will be determined by the police department, investigators, members of the city council and city manager who will review all documentation detailing a claimant’s cooperation and involvement to justify payment. The informant still may remain anonymous if they choose. The six homicides police are seeking information on include: David “Skip” Ganns, Hemet PD Case # 09-100284 Hemet Police responded to a robbery in the 200 block of West

Florida Avenue in Hemet, March 7, 2009. Officers found the elderly victim, identified as David “Skip” Ganns, had been stabbed and killed. Contact investigator D. Purcell at (951) 765-2421 with more information. Dori Jamison, Hemet PD Case # 14-2342 Hemet Police responded to the 200 block of South Lyon Avenue in Hemet, regarding a suspicious death, March 22, 2014. Hemet Police investigators determined that Dori Jamison was the victim of homicide. Contact investigator D. Klinzing at (951) 765-2423 with more information. Richard Hacker, Hemet PD Case # 14-6550 Hemet Police responded to the 1100 block of Valencia Street in Hemet, regarding an unresponsive subject lying on the ground, Aug. 13, 2014. Officers located Richard Hacker who had been assaulted and later died from his injuries. Contact Cpl. M. Hall at (951) 765-2324 with

Pala partners with American Indian Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee to honor Native American veterans PALA – Pala Casino Spa & Resort and the Pala Band of Mission Indians have partnered with the American Indian Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee to educate the public about the military service of Native Americans to the United States of America and to help support the funding of a national memorial to those veterans. To launch the Pala fundraising campaign, a half size replica of “The Gift,” the memorial to those veterans, will be displayed in the Pala Casino Spa & Resort hotel lobby from Sept. 1 until Nov. 30. The replica is an exact copy of the 12-foot bronze statue that will serve as the centerpiece of the memorial and has been on tour in California’s American Indianowned casinos and resorts since

RESIGNATION from page A-1 administrative leave until Sept. 7, Vail said. He will be paid twomonths’ salary and accrued time off. “Obviously, the parties have had a good, but trying relationship and they wish the best for Alex and they plan to move forward and that being, Police Chief David Brown will be the acting city manager for the immediate future while the city looks for an interim and hopefully will embark on the process for a permanent city manager,” Vail concluded. Meyerhoff was hired in January 2015 with a starting salary of $200,000 per year on a five-year contract. He replaced Hill who was fired. Meyerhoff now is on a long list of former Hemet city managers who have either resigned early or were fired. Meyerhoff has been successful during his almost 20 months on the

Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2016. The final installation includes the monument surrounded by soaring bronze eagles on pedestals placed in a landscaped viewing area. The monument, created by renowned sculptor A. Thomas Schomberg, will be the first national memorial in a national veterans’ cemetery to honor over 200 years of patriotism by America’s original inhabitants. The memorial will be located at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, which is often cited as the Arlington of the West because it is home to the Medal of Honor Memorial, the Veterans Memorial and the Prisoner of War / Missing in Action Memorial. The American Indian Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee hopes to raise $3 million to comjob that includes seeing the passage of Measure U, a 1 percent sales tax increase that is being designated only for the city’s public safety departments, the first city budget surplus in 11 years and reducing the city’s growing health cost for retiring city employees. Councilwoman Karlee Meyer on her Facebook page Aug. 9 said, “I appreciate Meyerhoff’s 20 months of service and wish him well in his endeavors. While Meyerhoff was the choice in 2015, many things have changed in the city of Hemet. Moving forward we have an aggressive measure to fight crime, we are at a crossroads for growth and the city must take the lead in becoming efficient with its resources and make strides in the area of public service. “There are processes that can be streamlined, and this all takes strong leadership. The citizens have been clear on their expectations, and the city council is working together like

plete the installation at Riverside National Cemetery. “The Pala Band of Mission Indians and all our team members at Pala Casino are very proud to play a role in this history-making program,” Robert Smith, chairman of the Pala Band of Mission Indians, said. “With our reputation for community service, we know we can make a significant contribution to this long-awaited honor and recognition for Native Americans.” Donations to the memorial fund may be made online through PayPal or by mail at www.aianveteransmemorial.com; by utilizing the pamphlet tear-out at the Pala display or by donating to the Gofundme campaign at www. gofundme.com/national-indianveterans-memorial. never before to make these changes happen. We will move forward and strive to bring results to the citizens of Hemet. I encourage everyone to embrace change and look at it as an opportunity to continue to make improvements,” she concluded. More recently Meyerhoff was criticized for not answering the suggested changes made in a state audit in a timely manner. The audit placed the city on the state controllers list of “at-risk” cities. Measure U will help the city get off the “at risk” status, but more work will have to be done with a new city manager. Before signing on as the Hemet city manager, Meyerhoff was the community development director in Desert Hot Springs, leaving that position in August after one year. He was previously city manager in the Imperial Valley city of Holtville from 2011-14 and worked in Palm Springs, Coachella, Indio and Twenty-nine Palms.

Over 300 people attend ‘Great Futures Breakfast’ in support of Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Over 300 of the Valley’s civic, business and community leaders woke up early on a Wednesday morning to attend the 7 a.m. “Great Futures Breakfast” for the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County held at Monteleone Meadows, Aug. 2. The event was hosted by cochairs Joan Sparkman and Terry Gilmore and featured guest speakers Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff and Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin. The 2017 Youth of the Year Zoe Coates also shared her experience with the club. A moment of silence was held for Roger Whitaker, a longtime staff member and director of transportation, who recently died in a motorcycle accident on the Interstate 15. Gilmore acknowledged the “five

people with a vision” who came up with the plan to have a boys and girls club 25 years ago: Ron Parks, Timmy Daniels, Leigh Engdahl, George Griner and Mike Donaldson Sr. Sniff shared some of his experience in law enforcement during

his time speaking. He started his career in law enforcement in 1975 and joined the Riverside Sheriff’s Department in 1979. He recently retired as a colonel after serving 30 years in the Army Reserve. Sniff was elected sheriff in 2007 and reelected in 2014. His department is

the third largest in California with 4,600 employees, 1,600 volunteers and an operating budget of $700 million. “For this many people to show up here this morning shows where your priorities are,” Sniff said. He remarked that he was recently at a topping-off ceremony for the new $330 million jail facility in Indio. The facility will add 1,200 beds to the chronically overcrowded jail system and will also include classrooms and rehabilitative space. “Can you imagine if this money were spent on prevention?” Sniff queried. A Colin Powell video echoed his point. Powell’s address to another Boys and Girls Club gathering featured Powell remarking about the cinder blocks, electrical wiring and other materials that went into the construction of the facility. “These are the same materials it takes to build a jail,” Powell said. “But the kids don’t see the materials. They see the care. The choice is simple – build our children or build more jails.” Sniff agreed. “Collectively, we do not have enough money to build enough jails to deal with the criminals,” Sniff said. “Our priority needs to be on prevention, rebuilding lives in our community.” Next, Sparkman introduced Hestrin as “one of the nicest guys… with an abundance of integrity and dedication to law enforcement.” Hestrin shared his experiences as Riverside County district attorney. “There is an idea floating around the country called “restorative justice,” where it is assumed it is our job to restore criminals to their place in the community,” Hestrin said. “This is nonsense. Criminals in our system have to work hard to go to prison. These are repeat offenders with serious crimes. The sheriff’s department and the district attorney’s office are old-fashioned when it comes to dealing with these criminals. They need to go to prison.” Hestrin said it is different when it comes to youth. “Every one of these criminals was a kid with a decision at a crossroads at some point in their lives, and they made a wrong decision. The time to restore is before they make serious and fatal decisions; we need to turn kids away from crime before it’s too late. We have to fight for our youths. Gangs are doing it with recruitment. To make a commitment to safer communities tomorrow, we have to help our youth today. Many at-risk kids do not come from a nuclear family; some of their parents are drug addicts; some are in jail.” Hestrin played a video highlighting the many programs the district attorney department’s has begun in the name of crime prevention and intervention, including “Real Men Read,” “Board Kids,” “G.A.M.E.,” which stands for Gang Awareness, Mentorship and Education, “Project

Each attorney in his department volunteers a minimum of six hours per month in these and other community programs. “This is truly a case of ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’” Hestrin said. Grant Anderson, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County, described the day-to-day operations of the club, utilizing a video that featured parent and student testimonials. “One out of four students leaves school with no place to go,” Anderson said. “Sixty percent of our kids are on free or subsidized lunch programs; one-third are from singleparent households. For many, we are the missing puzzle piece.” The Boys & Girls Club provides after-school care for many students in southwest Riverside County. “More than a safe place to hang out after school, the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County is a place where great futures start,” according to their brochure. “Our programs, events and activities inspire and enable our kids to realize their full potential. Nationally-tested and time-proven, our programs foster both character and career development. We have well-developed activities focusing on education, the arts and health and fitness.” The program also provides transportation to schools in the morning and from schools to clubs in the afternoon. Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County has three locations in Temecula, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore, with 40 adult staff and 200 volunteers. They serve 1,263 youth as registered members and more through community outreach. Anderson noted that the club is locally-operated and locallyfunded. He said that it costs $1,090 per year to serve one club member, but they only charge $550 in fees. “We do not turn anyone away for financial reasons,” Anderson said. “We have low fees and scholarships available. It’s community and business support and donations that make this all possible.” He also noted that $9.60 is returned to the community through current and future earnings and cost-savings for every $1 invested. “We had help to walk through the door of opportunity,” Anderson said. “Grab the hand of a kid and bring them through that door with you.” Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County has two major events left in the year. The Finals Show for Idol Season 9 will be held Aug. 27 in the theater at Pechanga Resort & Casino. The “Our Kids Rock” 60s Motown Fever Fundraiser is planned for Oct. 7 also at Pechanga in the Grand Ballroom.

Hemet’s Florida Avenue latest raised median plans are on review at upcoming open house with Caltrans officials present Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The latest and nearly final plans for the upcoming Caltrans Florida Avenue raised curb median project will be reviewed in an open house event Thursday, Aug. 24, in the Simpson Center, 305 E. Devonshire Avenue, in Hemet. The project has been under scrutiny by members of the Hemet Chamber of Commerce, Hemet merchants who do business along Florida Avenue and city officials since the construction project was

first announced by Caltrans late last year. Merchants, some members of the chamber of commerce and city officials have argued that Caltrans did not give them enough input on how it would be constructed and what it would do for the current traffic increases on Florida Avenue, particularly in the downtown area from Acacia Boulevard that connects with Florida Avenue below Sanderson Avenue up to eastern the city limits. Actual traffic volume studies have not been done for years, while traffic has increased as the city has

grown since the Caltrans median project was first approved, bringing questions for the median plans. The city planning staff and engineers have met with Caltrans engineers on the project a number of times, winning some concessions on the landscaping, the length of the left turn lanes at several intersections and highway business entrance and emergency responders along Hemet’s busy state Route 74/ Florida Avenue. Termed a “Highway Safety” project by Caltrans, the Highway 74 project has been in the planning

stages for years, even before traffic became heavier on Hemet’s main east-west highway. The $9.4-million Highway 74 Caltrans project extends from Interstate 215 in Romoland to the Ramona Expressway/Mountain Avenue in the Val Vista area in Riverside County. Plans call for raised median curbs, new left turn lanes and a few intersection widenings along the highway. The project, in the Hemet area according to Caltrans, is expected to begin in 2018. Caltrans officials said the open house will show drawings of the

median strip plans. “Caltrans continues to work with the city of Hemet, the Hemet Chamber of Commerce and emergency responders to produce the final outcome for the project plans,” Caltrans officials said. “The open house format meeting will allow the public to view informational exhibits and speak with project team member who will be available for one-on-one discussions. No formal presentation will be given.” The meeting will be 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the public is invited.

City of Temecula and Southwest Riverside Autism Task Force receive support and recognition from Sesame Workshop

TEMECULA – In March 2017, on behalf of the Southwest Riverside Autism Task Force, Temecula City Council member Mike Naggar recognized the nonprofit Sesame Workshop for promoting autism awareness through the introduction of Julia, a Muppet with autism. Julia debuted on Sesame Street as part of the show’s nationwide campaign to “See Amazing in All Children,” aimed at reducing the stigma and isolation that so often plagues families with special needs. Sesame Workshop demonstrated its commitment to children with au-

tism and their families by creating a special episode to welcome Julia, additional online content and educational resources. Julia has been the focus of this initiative to support families of children with autism and forge a strong, continuing commitment with the autism community. “I am writing to commend Sesame Workshop for taking the initiative to join forces with Autism Society of America and other likeminded partners to develop a community engagement initiative aimed to combat the stigma and isolation surrounding children with autism

and their families and to create tools that help children with autism learn various life skills,” Naggar wrote. The city of Temecula and Southwest Riverside Autism Task Force are pleased to receive the same support and recognition from Sesame Workshop in a heartwarming response. “The work you’re doing for children affected with autism is equally admirable, and we’d like to send you some resources to utilize in your work,” Sesame Workshop wrote about the city’s long-standing commitment to building an inclu-

all taking part in the class. While there are limited spaces, the course is not only open to Murrieta residents. The department tries to makes space for some out-of-towners, too, Ferguson said. This year’s citizen’s academy is only the second time it’s been put on by the Murrieta Fire Department. The point, Ferguson said, is to educate Murrieta residents on what the fire department really does. “They know that we go on fires. They know what they see on TV,” Ferguson, a third-generation firefighter, said. “Now, it’s evolved into what we consider all-risk. Depending on how you calculate things, we’re anywhere from 70 to 80-some-odd percent EMS medical calls,” he said. The fire department recently changed

its official name to “Murrieta Fire and Rescue,” because of the shift in calls. The citizen’s fire academy is a chance for the fire department to show that while the department has evolved, it’s continuing to build upon what it started in 1947, including the “neighbors helping neighbors” motto, Ferguson said. And it’s not just one-way communication, he said. “I’m also asking the question, what do you expect out of this? Maybe there are some opportunities in that eight weeks that we’ll learn about more what we can do or alter the way that we conduct business,” he said. “The truth is they are taxpayers and voters, they make decisions, and we need to do a better job of educating them.”

Injured therapy horse struggling to survive after dog attack Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

There are many appeals for help through social media with those suffering from illness, injury, homelessness and financial injustice, but it is rare when an appeal goes out for an injured therapy horse mauled by a dog whose life now hangs in the balance. Such is the case with “Maxi,” a 5-year-old half Arabian pleasure horse owned by Canyon Lake resident Dori Clemence Lowe. Maxi served not only as a beloved fourlegged friend but as a therapy horse during her owner’s recent illness until June of this year. Maxi remains in Chino Valley Equine Hospital in “frail” condition for painful laminitis on both front feet brought on by the initial dog attack. Maxi may never be ridden again, even if she recovers. Clemence Lowe described what happened to her and Maxi while riding on a Bureau of Land Management trail in Canyon Lake the morning of June 27. She said she first noticed a woman with a pit bull mix off the leash near the trail. Thirty minutes later, as she was riding on the trail on the way to the barn behind the baseball fields the same dog ran up to her and Maxi and began biting at Clemence Lowe’s boots. “The dog’s owner said her daughter used to have a horse, and the dog loved to play with boots and stirrups,” she said. Trying to get away from the dog, Clemence Lowe said she turned Maxi around. Instead, the dog grabbed the horse’s tail wrap, tearing it off. “Once the dog tore the tail wrap, he bit both of Maxi’s legs and her stomach,” Clemence Lowe said. “I

Hunter faces FBI scrutiny following campaign finance and bank fraud allegations SAN DIEGO – A federal investigation into the financial practices of Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, RAlpine, ranges from alleged campaign finance irregu- Congressman larities to bank Duncan Hunter. Courtesy photo fraud, according to a search warrant that was made public earlier this week. The document discovered and disseminated via Twitter by Seamus Hughes, deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, showed that investigators seized computer equipment, bills and disbursements and other documents in a March raid on the Alexandria, Virginia, home of Hunter’s campaign treasurer, Chris Marston. Neither Hunter’s office not an attorney for Marston immediately responded to a request for comment. Hunter, a former Marine who followed his father into office in the seat that represents parts of eastern and northern San Diego County and extreme southern reaches of Temecula in Riverside County, has faced scrutiny for his campaign’s financial dealings since early last year. He has since reimbursed his campaign around $62,000 for expenses like a family vacation in Italy, dental surgery and purchases in the Disneyland gift shop. The search warrant, approved by U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Nachmanoff Feb. 22, called for the seizure of records of campaign fund disbursements, financial disclosures, responses to inquiries by the Federal Elections Commission, calendars and travel records, financial records, and tax and accounting records. The investigators also sought communications between the congressman, his wife, Marston and partner Brenda Hankins and other staffers. According to the search warrant, the investigators were looking for documents that showed evidence of alleged “prohibited conversion of any Hunter committee campaign contributions or donations for personal use from February 2010 to the present”; “a scheme to defraud First National Bank by making false statements related to video game charges which resulted in the refunding or crediting of charges not properly due”; falsification of FEC reports; and a conspiracy to commit the crimes. Hunter told the San Diego UnionTribune in April of last year that the $1,300 in video game charges were the result of a credit card mix-up by his teenage son. He called the charges fraudulent, and said they were reversed and credited back to the campaign credit card, the newspaper reported.

couldn’t get the dog to stop, and the woman just stood there and watched.” Then, she said, the dog jumped up at her and tore her pants, before grabbing her jacket and pulling her off the horse. She hit the ground. “I am a rescue mom and rescue pit bulls, Clemence Lowe said. “I have never seen a pit bull do that.” Maxi, injured, took off running to the nearby barn at Canyon Lake Equestrian Center where she was stabled. Clemence Lowe, still stunned, sat on the ground. “I turned around to look at the woman, and she was just walking away back toward the Jump Lagoon,” she said. The woman with the unleashed dog told her “your horse is running free.” As Maxi ran into the barn, equine veterinarian Wayne McNeel was there attending another horse. He saw that Maxi was seriously injured. He began treatment for Maxi’s bleeding wounds. “Fortunately, when a horse runs into a barn without a rider, good friends are there to help,” Clemence Lowe said. Clemence Lowe returned to the barn still shaken and reported the incident to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Animal Control and Canyon Lake Community Patrol. She said an ambulance, paramedics and an Animal Friends of the Valley officer were already called. Her injuries were minor, but

Maxi’s injuries proved to be much worse over time. Clemence Lowe, using social media, was later able to locate the address of the dog owner, who lives in Canyon Lake and give it to Friends of the Valley Animal Control Officer Monique Middleton. She said Middleton contacted the dog’s owner, found the dog was unlicensed and cited the owner with an administrative ticket, which puts the dog on probation for three years. In that time, the dog must be on a leash and wear a muzzle when walking, so as not to endanger anyone. Meanwhile, Maxi’s bites were healing and getting a lot of attention from sympathetic horse owners in Canyon Lake; however, she was standing on one side and putting more weight on the opposite front foot, causing laminitis, which can be very painful. A short time later, the front foot on the injured side was also showing laminitis. In late June, Maxi went through two surgeries on her front feet. The veterinarians are hoping the surgeries will keep her out of pain, but it will make Maxi unable to be ridden, Clemence Lowe said. The horse will be in the care of the Chino Valley Equine Hospital’s intensive care unit for the next 30 days of recovery. “The hope is to have Maxi live a pain-free life with her forever home,” Clemence Lowe said in her June 28 Facebook update. “Maxi is an innocent victim who is now fighting for her life.” The surgeries, Clemence Lowe

said, may cost upward of $30,000 she cannot afford. She has brought her unusual appeal for financial help to social media, including GoFundMe, to help with Maxi’s recovery. Even before Maxi’s surgery was needed, Clemence Lowe opened a Facebook account giving a day-to-day report on Maxi’s healing and hopeful recovery and calling for a better effort to control animals on horse trails and in public places. “This one incident has costed me of $30,000 and counting,” she wrote. “Maxi is in such a frail stated that she cannot leave Chino Valley Hospital for another 30 days. This horse is my love, my therapy. I had to go thru

radiation last year, and Maxi was my saving grace, and I don’t want to lose her because I have no money and an irresponsible owner stood there and let this happen.” She reported that she has seen the same dog and her owner still walking around the lake, and the dog is still off the leash with no muzzle. Clemence Lowe and Maxi’s Facebook page gives a complete accounting of the progress Maxi is making at the Chino equine hospital and seeks help for the considerable surgery costs. Editor’s note: Phone calls made to Animal Control were not returned before press time.

Temecula fifth-grader shines ‘Bright’ at Track and Field Junior Olympics JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

It’s not too often a 10-year-old boy knows what he wants to do with his life, outside of the normal answers any fifth-grader would conjure up. Maybe a doctor, lawyer, veterinarian or even an astronaut, but Temecula’s Isaiah Bright says he wants to be at the top when it comes to competing in track and field events. Bright has been running and competing since the age of eight, in fact the last time the Valley News caught up with the young competitor from Rancho Elementary school, Isaiah had made it to the 2015 USATF (USA track and field) Southern California Association Junior Olympics for the 800 meter, long jump and mini javelin and had advanced to USATF Regional Junior Olympics for long jump and mini javelin where he placed third in the nation with a personal record of 27 meters. Bright recently got back from the University of Kansas where he competed at the USATF Hershey National Junior Olympics, which was held at Rock Chalk Park. After placing third, Bright has now set a new personal best as this was his third time making nationals and medaling in 3 consecutive seasons. In order to qualify for Nationals, athletes have to qualify for the Southern California USATF Associations. From there the top 8 advance to Regionals, then the top 5 move on to Nationals. Then best 50 athletes from the entire country compete in each age group (Isaiah was bantam 9-10) per event. Bright, who enjoys watching the IAAF Championships (International Association of Athletics Federations) and looks up to javelin world record holder, Jan Železný, trains with Tachyon track club in Murrieta. Currently Isaiah and his coaches are preparing for more in-

Local eighth-grader flourishes at US Youth National Soccer Championships JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Acacia Edwards, an eighthgrader at Temecula Preparatory school, might have sacrificed a summer of beach trips and constantly hanging out with friends, but now has one of the greatest accolades a young soccer player could ask for, a national championship win. Recently Edwards, the lone local player on her San Diego Surf soccer team, traveled to Frisco, Texas to compete in the 2017 U.S. Youth National Soccer Championships Edwards, who has been playing soccer since she was 5 years old, was a major contributor in helping her team win the coveted national title. Acacia scored the first goal in the 13th minute of play for the San Diego Surf who went on to defeat New Jersey’s SDFC Yellow team, 3-1. According to the USYS website,

Pauly Dolinsky, the head coach for the GU13 SD Surf team, was overjoyed with his team’s performance and the hard work the squad has put in over the last several months. Being a National Champion, the best team in the country, was something Dolinsky struggled to find words for. “They prepared better than everybody. Our team trained four days a week, we played teams older than us and we played boys,” Dolinsky said. “Every challenge we thought of to throw at them, they responded. It feels surreal to be a National Champion. Being with these girls for the last 16 months and having it all conclude like this is indescribable.” Edwards, now a national champ, started with the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) as most players do. That very first year, when most of the kids were chasing the ball like a beehive, Acacia stopped the ball and looked Temecula’s Acacia Edwards looks to take a shot on goal during the final game of the 2017 U.S. Youth Courtesy photos National Soccer Championships in Frisco, Texas.

up to pass it to an open player and that’s when her parents immediately knew that she understood the game. She played AYSO one more season, then was recruited to play club for Arsenal and after one year, switched clubs to play with Legends for two years. Edwards was then recruited to play with SoCal Blues by Tad Bobak, the founder of the ODP Olympic developmental program. She played with Blues for two years. “This was a huge commitment and sacrifice on the family be-

cause SoCal Blues practices and plays out of Orange County, says her mother, Angela. “We live in Temecula, but when it’s the Blues that comes calling, you drive from wherever you live. It was not uncommon for there to be girls driving from as far away as Valencia.” Since playing with the Blues, Edwards has moved to the San Diego Surf Soccer Club and has been there for the last two years. “I love my teammates,” she exclaimed. “Some of the girls have been playing together since they were 5 years old so the relation-

ships run deep. We are very close and work hard for each other on and off the field.” Edwards now plays for the Development Academy (DA for San Diego Surf), so their next goal is to win the DA league this season. As far as high school goes, DA players are restricted from playing high school soccer as the academy is developing these players to move on to the national circuit, luckily Edwards has another year to go before having to make any decisions about high school sports.

CIF-SS and Huddle announce ticket partnership for high school sports seasons SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

LOS ALAMITOS -- The California Interscholastic FederationSouthern Section (CIF-SS) and Huddle announced their new digital event ticketing partnership. This agreement further expands the nation’s largest and most innovative ticketing solution for the high school market and pairs it with the largest section (586 schools) in the largest state association in the country. “We are very excited to begin our partnership with Huddle in our continuing effort to offer the best championship experience we can for all of our stakeholders,” stated CIF-SS Commissioner of Athletics Rob Wigod. “Huddle has been the leader and innovator in online ticketing, not only with some of our CIF Sections in California, but across the country in partnering with several state associations as well,” added Wigod. “We welcome Huddle to our Southern Sec on team and look forward to working with them in service to our member schools and to all fans of Southern Section athletics.” Huddle offers an integrated digital and paper ticketing solution for the state associations, postseason events and individual school regular season events. Huddle has freely provided over 1.3 billion event tickets to high schools since 2001, saving the schools tens of millions of dollars over the years. For the 2017-2018 school year, Huddle has expanded its free offerings to include the GoFan® digital ticketing app. GoFan provides high schools with digital ticketing capabilities

along with the convenience, safety and security of professional sporting events at no cost to the schools. Additionally, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recently selected Huddle/ GoFan as its exclusive partner for a national rollout of a digital ticketing platform for high school sports. Digital ticketing provides consumers with a convenient way to purchase and redeem tickets online or via a mobile phone. Digital tickets have become increasingly prevalent in the travel, sports and entertainment industries, but have yet to materially impact the more than 450 million tickets sold annually to high school sporting events. “We are excited to add the CIFSS to our rapidly expanding Huddle Tickets/GoFan family. The CIF-SS and its member schools are a perfect fit for our easy-to-use digital ticketing technology, and the fans will absolutely love it,” stated Huddle CEO Joey Thacker. Huddle, Inc. gives brands a local voice, lasting relationships and a national scalable way to rise above a noisy advertising world. Huddle has built a trusted reputation for driving local sales through innovative marketing products like Huddle Tickets. Huddle, based in Georgia, builds programs that are rooted in serving a targeted audience and converting them into passionate brand advocates. Learn more at HuddleInc.com.

Groups appeal federal ruling in favor of travel corridor RIVERSIDE – Environmental groups fighting a 16-mile travel corridor intended to link San Jacinto and Perris filed an appeal last week with the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking reconsideration of their lawsuit challenging the project based on air pollution, wildlife habitat and other concerns. “This massive waste of taxpayer money won’t solve traffic problems, but it will break up neighborhoods and wildlife habitat,” Aruna Prabhala, attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, said. “Rather than offer 21st century transit solutions, the Federal Highway Administration shrugged off environmental laws and pushed through this boondoggle, which will hurt imperiled animals and force hundreds of people from their homes.” In May, U.S. District Judge George Wu in Los Angeles granted summary judgment in favor of the proposed Mid-County Parkway, rejecting arguments against it that were submitted by the Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Northern San Jacinto Valley, the San Bernardino Audubon Society and the Sierra Club. According to the plaintiffs, Wu’s ruling failed to account for “misleading and incomplete” details contained in a federal environmental review, raising the likelihood of National Environmental Policy Act violations. The opponents argue that sensitive habitats within the San Jacinto Wildlife Area and the Lake Perris State Recreation Area would be placed at risk if the project goes forward in its current form. “The Mid-County Parkway would worsen our region’s struggling air quality and tear up neighborhoods with a permanent new source of diesel exhaust and soot,” George Hague of the San Gorgonio chapter of the Sierra Club said. “Instead of this wasteful new six-lane freeway, the county should be proposing cleaner and cheaper upgrades to the Ramona Expressway to improve

traffic safety.” According to the groups’ complaint, the parkway will “increase greenhouse gas emissions, destroy agricultural lands, increase noise, adversely affect public lands and worsen air quality, among other impacts.” About 400 people will be displaced as a result of the land acquisitions necessary, under eminent domain, to construct the corridor, the plaintiffs said. The Riverside County Transportation Commission and the Federal Highway Administration are jointly involved in the $1.7 billion project. “We have been exceptionally diligent in complying with state and federal requirements and being responsible stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars,” county Supervisor John Tavaglione said after the federal ruling in May. “We know how important Mid-County Parkway is for Riverside County’s future.” The multi-phase project, intended to address the county’s growing traffic demands over the next two decades, remains in the design phase, but the Riverside County Transportation Commission has already initiated the process of identifying how to mitigate impacts connected with construction of an interchange at Placentia Avenue and Interstate 215 in Perris, which would serve as the western terminus, according to the agency. The eastern end of the project would be in the city of San Jacinto. Procuring funding commitments will determine when the project goes into full swing. As of now, there’s no timetable for groundbreaking or future completion, officials said. The same groups that sued the commission in federal court last year sued in state court based on alleged violations of the California Environmental Quality Act. The next hearing in that case is set for September at the Riverside Historic Courthouse. More information is available at www.midcountyparkway.org.

How Medicare works with other insurance determine which one pays first. These rules are called “coordination of benefits.” The “primary payer” pays what it owes on your bills first and sends the balance to the “secondary payer” to pay. In some cases, there may also be a third payer. Medicare is the primary payer for beneficiaries who aren’t covered by other types of health insurance. The primary payer pays up to the limits of its coverage. The secondary payer only pays if there are costs the primary insurer didn’t cover. But keep in mind that the secondary payer, which may be Medicare, may not pay all of the uncovered costs. If you currently have employer insurance and it’s the secondary payer, you may need to enroll in Medicare Part B before your jobbased coverage will pay. Most

people who sign up for Medicare Part B for the first time this year will pay a monthly premium of $134. Here is some tips for who pays first in various situations when you have Medicare and some other type of insurance as well. If you have retiree insurance or coverage from a former job, Medicare pays first. If you’re 65 or older, have group coverage based on your or your spouse’s current employment and the employer has 20 or more workers, your group plan pays first. If the company has fewer than 20 employees, Medicare pays first. Your group plan also pays first when you’re under 65 and disabled, have group coverage based on your or a family member’s current employment and the employer has 100 or more employees. Medicare pays first if the company has fewer than 100 employees. If you have Medicare because

TEMECULA – The children whose abuse is captured in child pornography images suffer not just from the sexual abuse graphically memorialized in the images, but also from a separate victimization, knowing that the images of that abuse are accessible, usually on the internet, and are traded by other offenders who receive sexual gratification from the children’s distress. According to academic researchers, medical professionals and child pornography victims themselves, knowing that all copies of child pornography images can never be retrieved

of end‑stage renal disease or permanent kidney failure, your group plan pays first for the first 30 months after you become eligible for Medicare. Medicare pays first after this 30‑month period. Medicare may pay second if you’re in an accident or have a workers’ compensation case in which other insurance covers your injury or you’re suing another entity for medical expenses. In such situations you or your lawyer should tell Medicare as soon as possible. The following types of insurance usually pay first for services related to each type: No-fault insurance including automobile insurance, liability including automobile and self-insurance, black lung benefits and workers’ compensation.

compounds the victimization. The shame suffered by the children is intensified by the fact that the sexual abuse was captured in images easily available for others to see and re-victimizes the children by using those images for sexual gratification. Unlike children who suffer from abuse without the production of images of that abuse, these children struggle to find closure and may be more prone to feelings of helplessness and lack of control, given that the images cannot be retrieved and are available for others to see in perpetuity. They experience anxiety as a result of the perpetual fear of humiliation that they will be recognized from the images. This harm is best described by the mother of a victim. A Mother’s Story of Child Pornography Victimization “My daughter was abused repeatedly to produce images for the purpose of being traded (and) shared over the internet. Without a market to receive and trade those images, without the encouragement of those who wanted to acquire the images, I truly believe this abuse would not have occurred. All those who trade these images and thereby create the demand for lurid and violent depictions of children are participants in the exploitation of my daughter. Each traded picture that placed a value on inventiveness, novelty or cruelty played a role in egging on the abuser to even more vile acts. The pictures of my daughter were ‘made for trade’ – her abuser adapted to serve his market – whatever his audience was looking to acquire, that’s what happened to her ... Producer, distributor and consumer – everyone who participates in this evil exchange helps create a market, casting a vote for the next abuse. Regardless of whether they directly abused children themselves, reveled in the images of suffering or persuaded others to abuse children on their behalf (to provide images of the abuse), each participant has a responsibility for the effects... (A) shadow ... comes over her face if a stranger gives her an expected compliment. The pictures are still out there ... Now that she’s growing older and realizing the extent of the internet, she’s also beginning to grasp the darker side of the story – how many people see those same pictures as something to enjoy rather than abhor. We have no way of knowing how many pedophiles used

the pictures of her being tortured and degraded as an opportunity for personal gratification ... I can find no words to express the fury I feel at those who participate in this evil, or my scorn for any attempt to minimize responsibility by feeble claims that the crime was ‘victimless.’ My daughter is a real person. She was horribly victimized to provide this source of ‘entertainment.’ She is exploited anew each and every time an image of her suffering is copied, traded or sold. While the crime is clearly conscienceless, it is hardly ‘victimless.’ I asked my daughter what she most wanted to ask of the judge. Her request: ‘Please, don’t let them pretend no one’s getting hurt.’” Between 2005 and 2009, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s Child Victim Identification Program has seen a 432 percent increase in child pornography movies and files submitted for identification of the children depicted. Available indicators suggest child pornography is increasing. Experts interviewed for this assessment, most of whom have longtime experience in this area of law enforcement, concluded that the market, in term of numbers of offenders, images and victims, has been trending significantly upward. Approximately two-thirds of the child exploitation experts interviewed by NDIC for the assessment reported that child pornography either is growing exponentially or there has been an overwhelming increase in the volume of child pornography images available. For example, CyberTipline reports, sent by electronic service providers and the public to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, increased by 69 percent between 2005 and 2009. Additionally, NCMEC’s Child Victim Identification Program has seen a 432 percent increase in child pornography movies and files submitted for identification of the children depicted during that same time period. However, precisely quantifying the volume of the child pornography market is impossible; the number of offenders accessing the images and videos and the quantity of images and videos being traded is unknown.

Students of for-profit schools find additional support SACRAMENTO – As students struggle with the aftermath of forprofit educational institutions that have closed or violated the law, the California Department of Consumer Affairs has established the Office of Student Assistance and Relief, as mandated by Senate Bill 1192, to help students navigate their uncertain academic and financial future. “OSAR’s goal is to provide individualized assistance to students to relieve or mitigate the economic and educational opportunity loss incurred by those students who

attended a Corinthian Colleges institution or other eligible for-profit institution,” Scott Valverde, chief of the Office of Student Assistance and Relief, said. OSAR helps students identify and obtain necessary documents, complete and submit applications, determine eligibility for repayment from the Student Tuition Recovery Fund, apply for debt relief from the United States Department of Education and access other student assistance programs. OSAR will also proactively en-

gage with students through outreach efforts by providing information to make informed decisions when selecting postsecondary educational institutions. It will also share information to help students know their rights when attending these schools. The new office will also work in consultation with various state and federal agencies including the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, California Student Aid Commission, California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S.

Department of Education and the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. For more information and to monitor updates on the new OSAR office, visit www.osar.bppe.ca.gov, send an email osar@dca.ca.gov or call (888) 370-7589, press option 5. OSAR’s mission is to serve as the primary point of contact for advancing and protecting students’ rights, advocating on behalf of students, informing students through outreach and providing equitable relief to students who suffer economic loss as

a result of the unlawful activities or closure of a California private postsecondary educational institution. The Department of Consumer Affairs promotes and protects the interests of California consumers while ensuring a competent and fair marketplace. The department also protects licensed professionals from unfair competition by unlicensed practitioners. Consumers can file complaints against licensees by contacting DCA at (800) 952-5210. Consumers can also file a complaint online at www.dca.ca.gov.

The university has made convenient and affordable higher education available to busy adults. Demand for its competency-based programs can be seen in the year-

over-year growth of the university’s national impact. Forty percent of this year’s graduates represent the first generation in their family to complete college. The average time to graduation for bachelor’s degrees was two years, three months, and the average time to graduation for graduate programs was one year, eight months. Since Western Governors University’s founding in 1997, the online, competency-based university has awarded more than 87,000 degrees; 20,000 of them in just the past year. Designed to

meet the needs of working adults, the university’s competency-based learning model makes it possible for students to fit studying into their busy lives. Students complete courses as soon as they demonstrate that they have mastered the subject matter, enabling them to move quickly through material they already know and spend more time on focusing on what they still need to learn. As a result, many students are able to accelerate their studies, finishing faster and saving money.

As women have taken on greater leadership roles in the business world, it’s paid off for both them and business. A study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that firms with women in the C-suite were more profitable. Meanwhile, the number of womenowned businesses grew 45 percent from 2007 to 2016 compared to just a 9 percent growth in the number of businesses overall. But will all those women in leadership roles change the workplace culture to make it more female friendly – and does it matter? As a corporate anthropologist, I’m aware of the recent shift in

thinking surrounding how cultures should be restructured in order for women to thrive in the workplace. This shift has caused me to ask: What type of culture do women really want and is it that different from what men want, too? The results of my research were surprising. It turns out, in many ways men and women want similar things in the workplace. Both prefer a strong clan culture that emphasizes collaboration, teamwork and a focus on people. So what lessons does that hold for women who start their own businesses or are hired or promoted into leadership positions in existing businesses? Based on personal experiences, and what I’ve learned from female business leaders that I’ve interviewed, women can succeed when leading an organization and make the workplace more attentive to the needs of both men and women, if they include a few things. First, create a culture that blends work and home. I talked with the founder of one company that intentionally took a whole-life approach and didn’t force employees to choose between work and family. That company won all sorts of local awards for being one of the best places to work in the area. Encourage staff to be innovators. Often even the employees who think outside the box are reluctant

to act outside the box for fear of repercussions if things don’t work out quite the way they hoped. But for innovation to happen, a good leader needs to empower employees to try new ideas. Be an adventurer and stay curious. If you expect your employees to try new ideas, you need to be willing to do so as well. Don’t worry about failing. Keep tinkering and trying stuff, and sooner or later, you’ll hit upon your “A-ha” moment. In my research, I am finding that the women who know how to create success are not just building better businesses; they are changing the way people work. The corporate cultures in womenrun businesses reflect the personal beliefs and values of the women leading them, and those businesses tend to be highly successful.

Gypsy Sunset Boutique makes the finals in Global Boutique Awards MURRIETA – From over 4,000 boutiques worldwide, Gypsy Sunset Boutique of Murrieta has won the hearts of both local and global shoppers being voted into the final round of the 2017 Boutique Awards in the state of California as a contender for Favorite Boutique of the Year and Favorite Storefront of the Year. The Boutique Awards is the only global recognition event for independent boutique retail owners in the fashion industry, hosted by The Boutique Hub. The awards recognize and celebrate the best boutiques across all 50 states in

the U.S., Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, in the categories of Storefront Boutique of the Year, Online Boutique of the Year, Children’s Boutique of the Year, Mobile Boutique of the Year and State or Country Overall Boutique of the Year. Already, the awards have garnered over 400,000 votes from shoppers and consumers who love boutique shopping worldwide, and voting wraps up Aug. 21 on www. theboutiqueawards.com. The awards celebrate retail at a unique time. When many are dubbing a current retail apoca-

lypse, however industry trends show a strong upswing in the boutique retail market. The Boutique Hub, the global voice and hub of the boutique fashion industry, cites one of the strongest boutique markets in history with new boutiques opening daily across the globe and established boutiques posting some of the strongest sales to date. The “Shop Small” movement is certainly alive and well, as big box retail dwindles. According to their website, “the Gypsy Sunset woman relaxes by the sun and loves by the balmy dusk. You can find her collecting

trinkets, dancing under the stars and always searching. With her skin kissed by the Southern California Sun, she embodies freedom, spirit and the desire for adventure. She exudes confidence, making a fashion statement while doing it. We do not use the word ‘Gypsy’ as its assumed mythical association. The Gypsy Sunset Woman overcomes the trials of life and becomes more beautiful because of it. We only bring in a limited quantity of all of our specialty items in order to keep our Gypsy Sunset Women clothed in styles you won’t see everywhere else!”

Gypsy Sunset was opened Aug. 1, 2016, by Kathleen Springemann, carrying women’s apparel and accessories and catering to women of all ages who want to look and feel great in the clothes they wear. “Gypsy Sunset could not be more excited to make it this far in the Boutique Awards,” Springemann said. “We truly love each and every one of our customers and feel so honored that they believe we should be named best boutique in California. We really want to put Gypsy Sunset and the city of Murrieta on the map so please vote.”

Economic indicators to watch the rest of 2017 Stephen Ng SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

According to “The Washington Post,” economic growth was slow in the United States during the first quarter of 2017, moving along at only 0.7 percent. The number is a big drop off from the 2.1 percent growth experienced by the nation in the final quarter of 2016 and a long way from President Donald Trump’s promise of 3 percent economic growth during his time in office. It hasn’t been all bad news on the economic front thus far in 2017. In the wake of what is turning out to be a volatile and unpredictable presidency,

the stock market, which usually swings on every little tick of news – economic or not – has been quiet. In fact, it continues the steady growth that it has shown for nearly a decade. I don’t know how long this strong market performance will continue, but I do know it can’t last forever. When the market is up, you have to be careful. You need to make sure you have strategies in place for when the market drops. The stock market is one thing I will have my eye on as the country move into the second half of 2017, along with a couple of other financial related items. First, I’m watching for infla-

tion. Prices could be going up in the U.S., and the increase could be pretty high if we limit imports or place tariffs on them, as Trump has talked about doing. The cheapest watermelon costs about $25 in Japan. Compare that to the U.S. where we might pay $5. But if the country clamps down on imports, we might start seeing $25 watermelons ourselves. Next, consider taxes and individual retirement accounts. Trump’s proposal to lower corporate and personal income taxes could provide a historic opportunity for people to convert their traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. When you retire, you pay taxes on the money you

withdraw on a traditional IRA, but you don’t pay taxes on money you withdraw from a Roth. So if taxes are lowered, people should consider taking advantage and convert to Roth IRAs. You would pay taxes when you convert, but likely at a lower rate than you might have in the distant future when you retire. The stock market has been on an upward swing for the most part of about nine years. What goes up comes down. When the market is up, people need to be careful, but most people become complacent. Do you have a strategy to protect your portfolio when the market has its inevitable drop? The most stable approach is

generally to maintain a welldiversified portfolio using a strategy appropriate for your time frame, personal goals and risk tolerance.

LAKE ELSINORE – Each year Rotary District 5330 in Southern California installs assistant governors to oversee three to five clubs and provide support and direction. Mary Brown, a former president of the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore, is starting her second year serving as assistant governor to four clubs in Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Wildomar and Corona. “It is a great honor to serve the Rotary District, which includes over 60 clubs, and share the knowledge I have learned over the last 10 years in Rotary,” Brown said. “I was fortunate to hold key positions in our club so I learned the policies, the administration, the District 5330 requirements and the positions for successful service opportunities. I also teach at Rotary Leadership Institute, which teaches

Rotarians the basics and more about Rotary.” Brown became a Rotarian in 2007 while working as a public affairs representative for Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. She became a Rotary board member, first serving as public affairs chair before moving into the club secretary position. In 2011, after retiring from her 26-year water industry career, she was asked to become the 2013-14 club president. “Our club is one of the most active and well-recognized clubs throughout the worldwide Rotary Club network,” Brown said. “Vocational and local school support is one of our main focuses. We mentor high school students with Interact Clubs; we send seventh-graders and high school juniors to leadership camp; we sponsor high school

athletics physicals; we honor three teachers every month at our meetings and we provide vocational programs. Our members are very passionate about the youth in our community. “All of the clubs I serve are unique,” Brown said. “They each have their own projects and passions, and they are creative fundraisers. The Murrieta Rotary Club sponsors the annual Field of Honor event which includes a fun run, parade, veterans’ luncheon, a gala and over 2,000 flags honoring

veterans. The Corona Rotary Club hosts an annual Lobsterfest, the first of its kind. I am very proud of all four clubs; they are awesome!” The Lake Elsinore Rotary Club meets 7 a.m. Wednesday mornings at the Ortega High School Conference Center at 520 Chaney St., in Lake Elsinore. An extension club meets 6:30 p.m. the first and third Wednesday of the month at the Pints & Quarts Restaurant in Lake Elsinore. For information about Rotary programs, call (951) 219-5352.

Victor Miller SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Temecual Valley Art League’s “Art off the Walls” made a successful return to Old Town Temecula, Aug. 4. It had been nine months since the Temecula Valley Art League’s last show and while it gave the appearance of inactivity, it was a busy period for the art group. A shift in another art club, the Canyon Lake Art Association, brought some new members to the Temecula Valley Art League during that time and one of the TVAL’s resident artists, Marilyn Latimer, had been hard at work on a next event for the art group. Latimer is as passionate about organizing art shows for her group as she is her painting. She found a new “canvas” in an old building – The Hotel Temecula. New owners Richard and Chris Beck graciously loaned the venue to the TVAL for a juried art show for both adults and students that took place on the Old West-style grounds of the Hotel Temecula. Upwards of 100 entries “shot it out” for awards and notable watercolorist and judge Betty Pilley “found the judging to be difficult” but eventually awarded ribbons to Madeline Eventoy, first place, student category

for “Clear,” and Malia Townsend for second and third place in the student category for “Fawn” and “Boy with Glasses.” First place in the adult category was awarded to Soon F. Chung for “Beautiful.” Donald Van Selus took the prize for second with “Kenny D” and Christine Wichers was awarded third place for “Dutch Masters.” Adult honorable mentions were awarded to Elizabeth Addington for “Fountain at Myrtle Creek,” Soon F. Chung for “Red Festival” and Christine Wichers for “Dirty Birdie.” There were also non-winners deserving of praise as well. For one, Lisa Cabrerra’s “Buried in Day of the Dead” imagery and her, Cabrerra’s “Eternally Yours” is alive in rich colors and was possibly the best received of all the evening’s entries. After the easels and tents had been packed up, the Becks seemed pleased with their alliance with the Temecula Valley Art League. TVAL president Robin Wayland also seemed pleased as she offered the event’s bouquet of flowers to Marilyn Latimer for realizing yet another successful event for their art group. It’s not hard to imagine those flowers showing up as still life at the Temecula Valley Art League’s next offering.

Country Music legend Clay Walker speaks on love, life and fame Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Break out those cowboy boots and get ready to two-step on out to Galway Downs for the first concert in their new “Country at the Downs” concert series, featuring multiplatinum country artist Clay Walker. Walker, who took time to speak with Valley News on love, life and what it’s like to be famous, will perform at Galway Downs Aug. 27. Walker’s performance is sure to be a hit with music lovers and concert goers alike. Known for his high-energy performances, Walker

to join them and proud and pleased that we are.” The Aug. 27 concert is the only California stop on Walker’s current tour. He said his band wasn’t planning on doing any shows on the West Coast until his new album releases but couldn’t resist the chance to help Galway Downs start something “new and exciting.” “We got the call from Galway and once we realized what they were doing, it was flattering they wanted us to participate,” he said. “We are glad we are doing it.” Walker said that being part of the changes at Galway Downs’ A

will perform such hits as “What’s it to You,” “She won’t be Lonely Long,” and a variety of songs from his upcoming album, “Long Live the Cowboy.” According to Walker, kicking off the series for the newly revamped Galway Downs is quite the honor. “I’ve always liked SoCal and especially Temecula,” he said, adding he has done some shows in the area in the past. “Folks are awesome, when I look in the audience I see myself and I see my family. It’s great people. To kick off this thing with Galway Downs is exciting. We are excited that they asked us

Country Music legend Clay Walker will kick off the new “Country at the Courtesy photo Downs” concert series at Galway Downs Aug. 27.

Legend Reborn is something that is truly an honor. “You never see yourself as anything special, at least I don’t,” he said. “It is flattering that we would be in the same phrase as the word legend. For me, I am still that same kid that grew up in Beaumont, Texas.” While “Long Live the Cowboy” hasn’t been released yet, Walker said he will perform songs from it for concert goers at Galway Downs. “The folks in Temecula will get the first shot at it,” he said. “I will probably do five songs off this new record coming up.” “Long Live the Cowboy,” a single on the album, will be the show opener, according to Walker, who also said that the high-energy show will have a new light show, a video wall and a great flow. “We go from one song to another and for the most part it’s 90 minutes of nonstop music,” he said. “We still can’t fit all our songs into it. Thirtyone hits is a lot to fit into one show.” Walker began playing guitar at the young age of nine and started playing in Honky Tonks as a teen, all of which helped to shape him into the artist he is today. “It shaped my life,” he said. “I don’t know how other singers operate, but for me growing up in the Honky Tonks you see a lot. Kids learn a lot more from what they see verses what they are told and I learned a lot including how to navigate through the good parts, and the bad, of the scene.” Walker said he owes his successes to those people in the Honky Tonks who gave him his start in the music business. “For the most part, it’s really who I am, those Honky Tonks and those bars are people just like me,” he explained. “They are the reason I am a singer right now. If they hadn’t supported me, coming to watch me, I would have never made it this far so they were really the foundation, and still are, of what I am.” Walker doesn’t stop to rest on his laurels though. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996, he kept making music, but also focused on raising awareness of the disease, forming his own charity, Bands Against M.S. “M.S. is not something I am embarrassed of or frightened to talk about, I’ve actually grown quite comfortable with having it,” he said. “I’m an advocate for research, advocate for education, I want to see people with M.S. live better, immediately and they can.” Walker said the disease can be devastating, and that he hasn’t met many people with MS who have the

energy he has. “I don’t know what I am doing differently, but I never have fatigue which seems to be the most common side effect,” he said. “I can get physically tired by exerting myself, but I don’t wake up and feel fatigued during the day or night. I have just as normal of a day as most really, healthy people.” Walker said he is active and enjoys a full life in spite of being told that he would be in a wheelchair within four years and dead within eight years of his diagnosis. “That’s probably the hardest thing that I ever had to face or had to hear,” he said. “It makes me feel a bit uneasy when I haven’t had any sign of progression in the last 19 years.” Walker said that his doctor told him it’s pretty much a miracle the way his disease has stayed at bay. “For that I can give some credit to modern medicine, but I have to give the majority of credit to my faith and belief that a high power created me and he had a different purpose for me than dying.” Walker said after his diagnosis he prayed and made a plan to do everything in his power to beat the disease. “Guess what, it worked and finding what worked was not the easiest thing but I had help to do it and that is what the human spirit is about,” he said. “We are here to help each other and if I can help somebody get through just half a day with M.S. just a little bit better than they had it yesterday, then I have done my part.” While he continues to battle the disease with a healthy diet, moderate exercise and prayer, it’s performing in front of his legions of fans and knowing how his music affects them that gives him pleasure. “If they see that I am excited onstage, I am not faking it,” he said. “The thing I’ve realized about the country music audience is they realize I am one of them. They feel it and it’s not something that they have to sit and analyze. It’s in their interior and when they hear that song and it hits their speakers on their headphones or in their car or truck, they feel that thing I am talking about and it comforts them because they feel like they are riding with or listening to a friend. That’s not something you can fake.” For more information on Bands Against MS, visit www.bandagainstms.org. For more information on Clay Walker, visit www.claywalker.com.

TEMECULA – Songwriters Workshops will provide an opportunity to the local community in the first of a series designed to help budding songwriters find their voice, learn and hone their craft, collaborate with others and gain insight into the music business. The weekend workshop, Saturday, Aug. 19, and Sunday, Aug. 20, will begin with a comprehensive presentation exploring the entire songwriting process, including everything from initial ideas to publishing with emphasis on melody, lyrics, originality and commercial appeal. Creative collaboration between attendees will be overseen by industry professionals who will be on hand to offer advice and suggestions. Winner of the 2014 Los Angeles Music Awards’ Hot Adult Contemporary Album of the Year, Joanna Pearl has teamed up with Songwriters Workshops in the hope of finding new talent and material for possible inclusion on her forthcoming album.

With over 25 years in the music industry, he is no stranger to success. His portfolio includes collaborations with wellknown artists and major labels as one of the U.K.’s top pop-remix producers, selling hit records across the globe. Now residing in Southern California, Johnson primarily composes themes, beds and stings for TV and film; however, his true passion remains creating the hits of tomorrow, collaborating with others through co-writing and coproducing to create infectious and memorable songs with maximum commercial appeal. “There’s nothing more rewarding then seeing potential in others and helping them to realize it,” Johnson said.

Daragh Matheson, the director of Culinary Operations and group executive chef at Temecula Valley Winery Management, speaks to the audience about the upcoming 10th annual So-Cal Chef Open.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Foodies mark your calendars now for the 2017 SoCal Chef Open Monday, Sept. 11. Now in its 10th year, event goers can expect perfect pairing of chefs, foodies and culinary delights. Presented by Temecula Valley Winery Management, Leoness Cellars and Pechanga Resort & Casino, the funds raised at this year’s event will benefit the intramural, team and CIF sports, cheer, dance, martial arts, volleyball and recreation programs as well as at-risk and special needs children and youth at Oak Grove Center for the Arts and Education. “This is the 15th year of the Golf Tournament and 10th year for the SoCal Chef Open,” Oak Grove Center for the Arts and Education CEO Tammy Wilson said. “The Chef Open was started originally for the golfers to come together after the golf event, and then we opened it up to the public. It has been a big hit and grows every year.” As in years past, SoCal Chef Open will once again be held at Pechanga Resort & Casino. “I want to thank our Presenting Sponsor for the Golf Tournament, Tom Rudnai and Temecula Valley Toyota. Our Presenting Sponsors for the SoCal Chef Open are Pechanga Resort & Casino and Leoness Cellars,” Wilson said. “Baron’s Markets will be providing many of the ingredients for the chefs.” Chefs on the schedule to participate in the event, which raised more than $60,000 for Oak Grove

in 2016, include Robert Renzoni Vineyards’ Mama Rosa Trattoria Chef Felix Aguilar, Chef Martin Venegas from Pechanga’s Great Oak Steakhouse, Chef Anthony Castillo from 1909 Temecula, Chef Curtis White of Vineyard Ranch at Temecula Assisted Living and Memory Care, Jennifer Sevilla from Crab Boil Catering, Chef Jeff Willett of The Bridge on 3rd, Chef Mandy Ramos from The Shamrock Irish Pub, Chef Rob Haney from Avensole Winery Restaurant, Chef Leone D’Arcangelo of Fresco Grill and Wine Bar, Chef Matt Green of Ceflavor and Chef Matthew Steffen of Temecula Creek Inn. The competition promises to be fierce between these chefs at the SoCal Chef Open. “It is all about how well you can execute,” said Venegas, who will be making a steak dish with USDA Prime and simple seasonings. Aguilar, who will be in the competition for the second time, said he was really nervous the first time he competed in the event. “It was really exciting and a good experience,” he said. “Last year I made a trofie Pasta with a pizziola sauce and received a lot of good positive feedback. It was a very successful event for us as a number of people came to visit the winery and even joined our wine club. This is a good thing: help Oak Grove, give back to the community and promote the winery.” Aguilar plans to try a few different things this year, including “more gourmet, more fine dining and better presentation.

“I am also planning to work without electricity, just in case,” he said referring to last year’s grill issues. “Also, timing is very important; everything needs to be ready for plating for the judges.” For Castillo and White, the chance to be included in the event is exciting and a unique opportunity. “I’m excited about this local, fun, friendly competition,” Castillo said. “We are here to support each other and a great cause.” Castillo said SoCal Chef organizers discovered him through a demonstration he had done at Disneyland on gastropub food. “We do everything in-house including our unique vinaigrettes,” he said, referring to the foods served at 1909 Temecula. “I will be doing something unique and freaky that you can’t find online.” White says it’s an honor to be included among the Valley’s best chefs and to represent who he is as a chef. “I plan to stay true to what we prepare for our senior living residents: locally-sourced “superfoods” that slow the process of dementia,” he explained. “It will be unique and

spice-driven.” Sevilla, who will be making a Cajun boil with sausage, corn, potato, shrimp and possibly adding crawfish and blue crab to the dish, said she has been a huge supporter of Oak Grove and has attended the SoCal Chef Open for the past three years. This will be her first year competing. “I am the only one here without chef in front of my name, and there is a ton of intimidation with all these professionally trained chefs. I am self-taught, but if you want to get better, compete against the best,” she explained. “I learned to cook on the streets of Louisiana – Biloxi near Freeport – right after Hurricane Katrina. People were taking care of each other like family, and they would cook and throw food on the table, all made with love.” Chef Ronnel Capacio from Pechanga’s Kelsey’s and last year’s Pinnacle Award winner will be a guest judge at this year’s event. “My advice to this year’s competitors: have a lot of food ready and just have fun,” Capacio said. For Leoness Cellars’ Executive Chef and SoCal Chef Competition

Director Daragh Matheson, the bottom line is doing his best for a “wonderful cause,” the children and programs at Oak Grove Center. “We have assembled a very distinguished group of judges and expanded our competing chefs to 15 of the top chefs in the area,” he said. “We will be using the model and criteria of the Culinary Art Institute for the competition.” Oak Grove began its residential program in 1989 and added autism treatment in 2007, opening a ranch in Perris and recently starting the Thrive program to help students transition into adulthood with independent living skills. “We have served over 9,500 students over the years, and fundraising is what makes all this possible,” Wilson explained. “The golf event funds our CIF sports and recreation programs. The SoCal Chef Open funds many of our enrichment programs and opportunities. “We couldn’t do all this without your help, participation and support,” Wilson said. “Thank you all for helping us to empower success and transform lives.”

Grammy nominated Jonathan Butler performs in Temecula Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula’s Thornton Winery brings gospel and jazz infused music by singer Jonathan Butler. He will perform Aug. 20, showcasing some of his biggest hits and songs from his newest album “Free.”

His Grammy nominated album includes 11 tracks including the single Be Encouraged, the titletrack Free, the joyful and celebratory tune “You Are The One,” the tender ballad “Where Would I Be,” and the worship anthem “I Am That I Am” to name a few. However, he will be performing songs from all

points of his 30 years of music. He and Gerald Albright have been on tour for the greater part of this year. They have spent most of their tour in the States but have also visited many parts of Africa this year. “When I’m touring with Gerald, it never feels like work, we just enjoy ourselves and it is nothing but fun,” Butler said. Butler has come to Temecula every year to perform because of the community’s support of jazz and gospel, he said. What brings him back every year is the people and the hospitality of Thornton Winery. According to Butler, he does not think of his music falling into a single genre, but is glad to have a community to perform his wide range of music. His influence for the album and his songs in general come from his philosophy of loving life and cherishing happiness. “I just love music,” Butler said. “But I’ve always known my calling is ministry. ‘FREE’ was my fourth gospel record and the message really speaks to personal triumph and overcoming challenge.” Butler’s return to Temecula is met with excitement from himself and Albright, as he spoke on behalf of both himself and Albright.

He said, “there are still several tickets on sale but the seating will still be comfortable and we will have a dinner package to enjoy both wine and the show.” Thornton Winery, located at 32575 Rancho California Road in Temecula, offers tours and tastings taking visitors through the techniques & tools of the vinification process of making sparkling

wine using the traditional Methodé Champenoise. Knowledgeable tour guides lead guests throughout the winery explaining everything from the fermentation tanks & en tirage in the caves to the disgorging process. Public Winery Tours are on the Weekends – Saturday tours are every hour on the hour 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday tours are 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Wine Tastings are held every day from 10 a.m. to close. For more information on Thornton Winery, call (951) 699-0099 or visit www.thortonwine.com.

People and pets gather at “Wine and Woofs” at Maurice Car’rie TEMECULA – Hundreds of people and pets are set to gather, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., for the inaugural “Wine and Woofs” event at Maurice Car’rie’s vineyard and winery in Temecula, Aug. 27. The event is to mark the launch of a new wine label, called “Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango” sparkling wine; the proceeds will benefit homeless pets. Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango sparkling wine is a collaboration between All About the Animals, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit with the mission of saving and enriching the lives of abused, abandoned, neglected and unwanted pets, and Maurice Car’rie vineyard and winery. Two-legged attendees will be able to sample Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango sparkling wine, as well as the 32 varietals of wine offered at Maurice Car’rie vineyard and winery, while surrounded by the rolling hills of Temecula wine country. Visitors can complement their wine tasting with the winery’s renowned freshly baked sourdough and Brie bread. Attendees will also be serenaded by Kaitlyn Weathers, a Murrietabased musician who will be strumming her original music on an acoustic guitar, followed by the winery’s in-house DJ. Four-legged attendees are welcome at Maurice Car’rie vineyard and winery, not only for Wine and Woofs but throughout the year. Four-legged critters will be able

to do some sampling of their own during the event; as pet-related vendors are due to attend, including a doggy food truck “Alice’s Gourmet Wonderland,” which offers all natural, human-grade treats and frozen yogurts and toys for pets, served up by the loveable Husky pup, Alice. Furry attendees are also able to make their mark with paw painting, using nontoxic, washable paint upon canvas. Special offers and promotions will be available on the day of the Wine and Woofs event, for both purchase of Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango sparkling wine and wine tasting. The wine features an image of Jelly Bean, a Dachshund-Chihuahua mix pooch who caused quite a stir following her rescue from Downey Animal Care Center in Los Angeles in July 2015. Jelly Bean was found in a kennel filled with feces and had a bacterial skin infection which was thought to be exacerbated by the unsanitary conditions prevalent in the shelter at the time. Jelly Bean’s rescuers, All About the Animals, created a petition protesting these unsanitary and unpleasant conditions, and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors responded by pursuing an investigation into the conditions inherent within its entire shelter network. Today, all seven of Los Angeles County’s shelters are now nearly spotless and clean because of

Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean was adopted by a loving family in Canada with help from Dachshund Rescue Team. However, with hundreds of adoptable pets like Jelly Bean facing euthanasia daily in California’s shelters, Jelly Bean’s wine is a welcome effort to raise much needed funds to help combat this problem. Gary Van Roekel, general manager of family-owned Maurice Car’rie vineyard and winery and Temecula wine country’s first commercial vineyard with a winery open for business since 1986, said, “We are thrilled to have partnered with a worthy cause such as All About the Animals to bring our crisp Peach Mango flavored sparkling wine to animal lovers.” Laura Jones, CEO of All About the Animals also said, “Animal and wine lovers like myself can rejoice as the proceeds from Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango sparkling wine benefit homeless pets; we now have an excellent excuse for drinking wine!” Jelly Bean’s Peach Mango sparkling wine will be initially available online and in Maurice Car’rie’s tasting room; however, the intention is for it to be available in retail stores locally as well.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Rooms can serve double duty Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, children’s play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage. But they may not be missing out at all. While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.” Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger spaces; they just need to equip rooms to perform double duty. Living room/guest room Entertaining guests is easier when there’s a dedicated space where visitors

can feel at home. When furnishing a living room, keep the guest room in mind. A sofa that opens to a bed or a convertible sectional can be a comfortable place for guests to lay their heads. Side tables provide guests with places to store their belongings, and an empty storage chest can house bed linens or guests’ clothing. Den/playroom Children tend to accumulate toys and games. And as children grow from children to young adults, their list of must-have items – from video gaming systems to other electronics – grows along with them. Storage can make a room functional for both adults and children. Devote an entire wall to a closet or drawer system where toys can be stored out of sight when necessary. Storage ottomans can be

used for extra seating while also providing somewhere for homeowners to stash stuffed animals or games for easy access. When choosing furniture, look for fabrics that are resistant to stains and modular pieces that can be moved around as necessary to create room for playing or entertaining. Bedroom/home office In 2015, 24 percent of employed people in the United States did some or all their work at home, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bringing work home means men and women will need a space to work. In tight quarters, bedrooms may be the only available area. An armoire-style desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors. Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose

of providing a place to get ready for a night out and a ready space to house a

laptop during the day. In smaller homes, homeowners may be forced to

turn rooms into dual purpose areas.

Sharing Rose Care FUNdamentals for August 2017

Some local gardens had a nice show of blooms into July due to short periods of high temperatures. Thinkstock/Tetiana Kalian photo

Frank Brines, ARS Master Consulting Rosarian SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Once again I’m reminded of unusual weather. This past year, Temecula Valley temperatures seem to track similar for the last three years. The number of days when temperatures were 100 F or more is about the same with the average temperatures being similar for 2014 so far. The fact is that there’s a “new normal,” but we don’t have a clear idea of what that is going to be. The best guess is greater extremes with less predictability. This year too we’ve had an odd summer with shorter periods of high temperatures

and an amount of nominal rain over several days. All told, this summer hasn’t been too harsh on my roses, and I’ve gotten reports that some local gardens had a nice show of blooms into July due to short hot periods, whereas others have reported a lot of sunburned blossoms and stems. The sun burning is the result of the plant being unable to hydrate at the same rate as its evaporation. I advise you to leave as many leaves on the plant as possible during this time of year as protection against sunburned canes. Sunburned canes can cause death to the rose plant. That’s why I still advocate planning for higher temperatures and less-than-ideal

conditions for roses. Let your roses continue their summer dormancy until about midSeptember. Why make them produce blooms when they’re struggling to stay hydrated? Let your roses do whatever they do, that is, just remove and discard the withered petals and let the hips develop, keep the bed clean of debris and don’t fertilize. Twice a week give your hybrid teas a deep, slow watering of 3 gallons of water. Take an investigative stroll through your gardens in the morning, look for leaf wilt, drying or discoloring of leaves and the general leaf reflectance or surface luster. If it appears dull, investigate the plant for disease, drought

or pests. During you daily tour of your garden, look for any changes. It doesn’t take long for a rose to suffer once its irrigation supply fails. Examine the lower leaves. If they appear yellow or brown, have fine webbing or look dirty, there may be an infestation of spider mites. They thrive in hot weather. They’re generally found on the undersides of those leaves. A quick check can be made by lightly running your fingers across the underside of the leaf. If it has a small grainy feel, it most likely is the spider mite. 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. Do this every three days for 10-14 days, inspecting regularly. It may be necessary to repeat the shower after a few days, if the infestation is heavy. Removing the bottom leaves approximately 8 inches from the soil level can help in reducing or eliminating the spider mite problem. This precaution should be done earlier in the season, before an infestation. The world is dangerous enough for plants, but we gardeners are also faced with risks. One risk recently came to my attention through a Dr. Gott. It’s a dangerous fungus with the scientific name

Sporothrix schenckii. It afflicts humans with 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 soil. It can cause infection, redness, swelling and open ulcers at the puncture site. When the thorn or thorns are deeply embedded, 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. 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. If you have been following my summer protocol for growing roses, you should have rose hips and few blossoms left on the bushes, otherwise known as a semidormancy period. Soon you will want to “wake” the rose bush up and get a couple bloom cycles yet in the year. Between mid-August and mid-September, a small pruning should be done; do not remove more than a third of the current growth. Around early- to mid-September begin fertilizing again with one higher in phosphate, the “P” in NPK rating. Most

organic fertilizers don’t use this obvious rating. You will need to read the packaging information which will be in percentages. In either case, look for something similar to 8-10-8. 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 such as gloves, long sleeves or gauntlets when working among roses and thoroughly cleansing even minor scratches and punctures with an antibacterial soap. Rubbing alcohol, which you should already have handy to clean your pruners, can be applied as an immediate wash until you can use antibacterial 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.

How to care for tools properly to spend precious time looking for tools. Almost as important as the investment in tools is the investment in tool storage. Hardwood or metal tool chests feature various drawers and cabinets that can house tools of different sizes. By keeping tools in a chest, they’re easy to find and more likely to stay sharp and in good condition. Metal tools should be stored in a cool, dry area, as dust and moisture can cause rusting issues on metal tools. One way to alleviate rust is to spray metal tools with a product like WD-40 to serve as a moisture barrier, then store them in closed drawers or containers.

TEMECULA – Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

All tools do not necessarily have to be stored in a garage or work shed. Many homeowners like to keep smaller tools in the house so that frequently used items are within reach. A hammer, wrench, pliers, and a few screwdrivers are handy tools to have around inside the house. Put tools back Remember to return tools to their proper storage spots when you finish using them so they can be easily found the next time they’re needed. This saves time and even increases personal safety. Tools that are left around can become tripping hazards or end up in the hands of children. Hang garden tools Whether garden tools are kept in a shed or inside the home, hang them so they don’t crowd the floor. Moisture can creep up from concrete or dirt floors and eventually compromise the tools. Keep cords neatly wound and secured as well. Rely on original cases Power tools typically are packaged in hard plastic cases. This keeps the tools secure and often is

the best method of storage. Original cases also help protect tools from humidity. Label each case so tools are easily identifiable when stacked on a shelf or in a cabinet. Clean tools after use Hand tools and gardening tools usually can be cleaned with rags. If these tools are especially dirty, give them a wash with soap and water. Just be sure to dry the tools thoroughly after washing them.

LifeHacker advises wiping down wooden handles on tools with linseed oil to keep them in good repair. Power tools may benefit from compressed air being blown into smaller crevices to dislodge sawdust and other debris. Lubricate any moving parts with a product recommended by the manufacturer. Keeping tools clean and in good repair goes a long way toward safer, more efficient home improvement projects.

Commercial and industrial real estate poised for explosive growth in Inland Empire Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The driveway was rocks and gravel. The parking lot was dirt and mud in some places. Still, a distinguished group of city officials, developers and commercial real estate marketing professionals gathered enthusiastically for the grand opening of three warehouse-sized buildings at the end of 3rd Street in Lake Elsinore on a Thursday morning. The buildings represented not only a long-awaited completion of this particular project but signaled the upcoming growth in a segment of the real estate market – industrial and commercial -driven by rapidly-growing demand for warehousing, distribution and manufacturing space. The three-part project involves two building phases and vacant land. Phase I includes three buildings, zoned for general manufacturing, offering 74,200 square feet of industrial space, 9,936 square feet of office space and 4,968 square feet of mez-

zanine office. The three buildings sit on 4.02 acres. Two of the buildings can be combined by knocking out walls to provide 50,774 square feet on 2.55 acres. Phase II will add six more buildings, ranging from 8,154 square feet to 11,258 square feet. The adjoining land available for sale, lease or build-to-suit – 1.57 to 8.78 acres – will be accessed via Chaney Street. Rod Oshita, principal for Fairway Commercial Partners, shared a brief history of the project dating back 10 years. “This is a longtime coming,” Oshita said. “We’ve overcome lots of obstacles and challenges.” All across the country, according to market research expert Marcus & Millichap, vacancy and availability of industrial space are at historic lows. The vacancy rate in the Inland Empire is down to 4.7 percent according to the Aug. 2 Co-Star Marketing Report. This is in sharp contrast to recession-era highs of

almost 25 percent. The second quarter report from Lee and Associates for manufacturing and distribution buildings in southwest Riverside County reports a vacancy rate of only 1.2 percent. “We applaud the vision and perseverance of Rod and his team,” Lake Elsinore Mayor Bob Magee said. “They have dealt with the recession, the Army Corps of Engineers, County Flood Control and the fairy shrimp. These are people with the entrepreneurial spirit, guts and blood. They have a great team and are investing their own money.” Consumer activity in e-commerce is driving urban last-mile demand for warehouse and distribution space. Locally, Wayfair recently occupied 1,224,874 square feet in the Perris Logistics Center; Wolverine Worldwide leased 720,000 square feet at the Crossroads Logistics Center; Amazon opened a warehouse distribution center in 777,620 square feet at Pioneer Logistics Center. Indeed, according to Marcus & Millichap, e-commerce growth is driving 24 percent of all leasing activity. “People ask me ‘Why Lake Elsinore?’” Oshita said. “And I reply ‘Have you seen the I-15 during rush hour?’ If people had the opportunity to get off at Central for work, we could affect the quality of life. This is more than building buildings, it’s about creating local jobs for the community, providing affordable facilities for companies to expand warehousing, distribution and manu-

facturing, taking advantage of an existing labor pool and supporting the local economy.” Consequently, the low vacancy rates are driving rental rates up. According to commercial real estate firm Kidder Matthews, the base square foot industrial lease rates for the fourth quarter were 78 cents in Los Angeles, 76 cents in Orange County, $1.03 in San Diego County and 58 cents in Riverside County. Despite rising rates for six consecutive years, the Inland Empire’s attraction is that it offers advantages in lower rent price as well as the availability of larger warehouse and distribution space and the land to expand. “Commercial and industrial growth is moving south from Ontario and Corona as they run out of land to southwest Riverside County,” Michael Strode, senior vice president for Lee and Associates said. “And this growth will be exploding in this area. This area has a lot to offer to attract new businesses and expansion. There are numerous excellent transportation options, an available labor pool, lower rent costs and lots of retail and recreational opportunities. Developers are coming onboard to meet the demand and our company is well-positioned to responsively market the space.” According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the real estate investment management company, the top five areas in the country, which accounts for more than half of new development

starts in the first quarter of 2017, are Dallas, Inland Empire, Philadelphia, Denver and Atlanta. The Statistics Portal ranks the Inland Empire as one of the top 15 areas in the country for industrial property growth and set their buy recommendation at 46 percent and their hold at 38 percent. Logistics jobs within Riverside County have increased in the past 10 years from 9,000 to 30,000. “The city is very excited to see Phase I near completion,” Grant Taylor, community development director for the city of Lake Elsinore, said. “Lake Elsinore has experienced significant growth leading to demand for commercial and industrial business that provides jobs and services to the community. We appreciate developer Rod Oshita staying the course through years of challenges with the economy, site constraints and various agencies. We look forward to assisting Mr. Oshita with Phase II of the project.” “We signed the first listing for this project in 2006,” Larry Null, senior vice president for Lee and Associates, said. “Since then, we’ve had 22 six-month extensions. Our marketing team is here to make deals, and we’re ready to go.” For more information on these properties and projects, contact Lawrence Null (951) 276-3616, Charley Black, (951) 445-4507, Gordon Mize (951) 445-4504, Michael Strode (951) 445-4508 or Justin Null (951) 276-3634 at Lee and Associates, www.lee-associates.com.

Drivers go back to school for safety Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When I was younger I hated all the back-to-school commercials. They were a dreaded reminder that summer was over and pretty soon I’d be back inside a hot, stuffy classroom, mourning my lost freedom. As an adult, the back-to-school season brings another warning. Our morning and afternoon commutes will now involve throngs of students walking, bicycling, driving or riding buses to and from school. We were all kids once, so we know we can’t count on them to be paying atten-

tion. That’s why it’s important to use extra caution while driving in school zones. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 75 school-age pedestrians are killed each year during school travel. These are preventable deaths. Let’s share some lessons and start a safety campaign in the communities we protect with these safety reminders. It is illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. School buses use yellow flashing lights to alert motorists that they are preparing to stop to load or unload children. Red flashing lights and an

extended stop sign arm signals to motorists that the bus is stopped and children are getting on or off the bus. The area 10 feet around a school bus is where children are in the most danger of being hit. Stop your car far enough from the bus to allow children the necessary space to safely enter and exit the bus. Be alert. Children walking to or from their bus are usually very comfortable with their surroundings. It makes them more likely to take risks, ignore hazards or fail to look both ways when crossing the street. Drivers should not block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light or

waiting to make a turn. Do not stop with a portion of your vehicle over the crosswalk. In a school zone when a warning flasher or flashers are blinking, you must stop to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with no marked crosswalk. Remember that children are the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult to see. Take extra care to look out for children not only in school zones, but also in residential areas, playgrounds and parks. Don’t honk your horn, rev your en-

gine or do anything to rush or to scare a pedestrian in front of your car, even if you have the legal right-of-way. Now that’s just the first lesson. There’s much more schooling on safety if you’re interested. Check out www.nsc.org/Safety_Home/ SafetyObservances/Pages/BackToSchoolSafety.aspx or www. transportation.gov/briefing-room/ safety-advisory-students-and-motorists-reminded-be-safety-consciousand-around-school for more.

The Legislature should join the 21st century Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Processes in the state Capitol are way out of date. During the seven to eight months I spend in Sacramento annually, I use much of my time working and voting on legislation and meeting with advocacy groups and constituents to discuss legislation. Even so, keeping up with constituent and district concerns isn’t easy when you’re over 500 miles away. Shortening the legislative calen-

dar and using modern technology would allow legislators to spend more time in their districts meeting constituents and hearing their concerns. The modernization would save taxpayer dollars and create a smaller carbon footprint through less travel. Unfortunately, California is burdened with archaic legislative procedures that often get in the way. Modern technology such as telecommuting, streamlining meeting efficiencies especially in cases of multiple committee meetings

and updating processes, including the use of computers instead of cut-and-paste and the reduction of enormous amounts of paper would help. This session, I introduced a bill to establish a Legislative Modernization Working Group, comprised of technology industry experts and members of the Legislature to make recommendations to modernize these processes. Unfortunately, the bill never was referred to committee, leaving the status quo in place. It’s surprising how a state that

prides itself on being a progressive, family friendly example for the nation can be stuck so far in the past when it comes to the daily operations of its governing body. By combining a part-time legislature, which most states have, with modern technology, legislators could spend more time in their districts. The extra time in home districts would allow better communication between constituents and their elected representatives and result in greater citizen involvement in government.

The state is too big and too diverse to allow archaic procedures developed in the horse-and-buggy era to impede citizen involvement. The California Legislature needs to join the 21st century. Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

12-year- old girl from a Temecula street almost exactly a year ago – in what he insisted was an innocent act of asking for directions – was sentenced Friday, Aug. 11, to 60 years to life in state prison. Robert Francis Baker, 69, of Hemet was convicted in April of attempted kidnapping, attempted lewd acts on a child, annoyance of a child by a registered sex offender and two counts of being in possession of child pornography. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Michael Donner imposed the required terms for each count but suspended sentencing on three counts at his discretion. Baker’s aggregate sentence otherwise would have been 135 years to life, according to court minutes. The defendant acted as his own attorney throughout the roughly two-week trial but requested representation by a public defender during today’s sentencing hearing. Baker argued to jurors that he had no intention of kidnapping the victim, identified in court documents only as “J.M.,” because he would not want to do “anything that could ruin ... my life.” Deputy District Attorney Edward Jensen described Baker as a preda-

Aug. 12, 2016, except for unsavory purposes. “This young girl told the defendant ‘no’ over and over again when he asked to give her a ride,” Jensen told jurors. “Yet, Mr. Baker continued to roll alongside her, refusing to take no for an answer.” Jensen alleged that Baker pulled out a large roll of cash and flashed it at the girl as an inducement for her to get into his rented vehicle. But she firmly stated that she didn’t want a ride. “I didn’t have any time to do anything inappropriate to her,” Baker said. The defendant asserted that he was trying to locate a Temecula dentist on Pauba Road for a $6,000 procedure when he encountered J.M. According to Baker, he was disoriented, unfamiliar with the area and pulled over to ask the girl for directions. The felon wept while testifying, telling jurors that he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his freedom and risk not being able to care for his now 98-year-old mother. The one-time charter boat captain said he had learned his lesson after a 1994 conviction for child

he said he went out of his way to avoid run-ins with the law. He admitted asking the victim twice whether she wanted a ride, even though she told him “no” the first time. Baker also acknowledged flashing cash at her, but said that he was trying to pull out his driver’s license to put J.M. at ease, and the money and card were bound together by rubber band. The defendant said he was “two seconds” from pulling away from the curb when he was stopped by District Attorney’s Office Investigator Ron McGowan. According to Jensen, McGowan was in the area on business and witnessed the interaction between Baker and the girl while passing in his vehicle. Jensen said the investigator stopped and asked J.M. whether she knew Baker, and when she said that she didn’t, “Ron intervened and detained the defendant.” Sheriff’s deputies took over the investigation, during which they found multiple vibrators, condoms and lubricants in Baker’s rental car, according to Jensen. He also said that a search of the defendant’s Hemet home resulted in the seizure of several laptop computers loaded with child porn.

Man pleads not guilty to sex act in Wal-Mart restroom INDIO – A 25-year-old man who allegedly entered a Palm Springs Wal-Mart bathroom stall occupied by a teenager and committed a sex act in front of her pleaded not guilty, Aug. 14, to multiple felony and misdemeanor counts. Tyler Ray Berthoud of Oak Hills in San Bernardino County was arrested Wednesday, Aug. 9, at the Wal-Mart at 5601 Ramon Road after several store patrons and employees restrained him as he left the restroom, Palm Springs Police Sgt. William Hutchinson said. According to Hutchinson, the suspect stuck his head underneath the bottom of a stall in the women’s restroom while a 13-year-old girl was inside. Berthoud entered the stall and masturbated in front of her but did not physically harm or molest

the girl, the sergeant said. Witnesses heard the girl screaming, and Berthoud was apprehended by a group of people after he left the bathroom. He is charged with felony counts of attempted lewd acts on a minor, burglary, false imprisonment, along with misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure and child annoyance. Hutchinson called Berthoud a “brazen, dangerous individual” and “someone we don’t want in this community or any community for that matter.” Court records show he recently stood trial in Indio on misdemeanor sexual battery and child annoyance charges in a case out of Wildomar in which he was accused of trying to pick up two teenage girls at a McDonald’s, before following a woman into her apartment complex

and grabbing her buttocks. A jury found him guilty on the child annoyance count, according to court records, and he additionally pleaded guilty Tuesday, Aug. 8, to misdemeanor counts of sexual battery and being under the influence of controlled substances. He was sentenced to a one-year county jail term but had already accumulated enough credit for time served to secure his release Tuesday, though he was required to register as a sex offender. He was released from the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning and was arrested by Palm Springs police the following day. Berthoud, who is being held in lieu of $1 million bail, will return to court Aug. 23 for a felony settlement conference.

Skateboarder killed in accident identified LAKE ELSINORE – A 15-yearold boy who was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while riding a skateboard in Lake Elsinore was identified last week by authorities as Lake Elsinore resident Joseph Losoya.

The crash was reported about 3:55 p.m. Aug. 4 in the area of McVicker Canyon Park Road and Sunswept Drive, according to sheriff’s Sgt. Nathan Kaas. Losoya was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead,

Kaas said. The driver remained at the scene. Drugs and alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash, according to Kaas.

Brush fire closes street in Nuevo NUEVO – A 15-acre brushfire that started in an empty lot in Nuevo was fully contained Monday, Aug. 14, authorities said. The fire was reported at 1:34 p.m. Sunday in the 30000 block Nuevo

Road, Tawny Cabral of the Riverside County Fire Department said. Crews in four air tankers, two bulldozers and two water tenders were also dispatched to assist ground crews in extinguishing

the fire, which was spreading at a moderate rate, she said. At about 3 p.m. Sunday, Cabral reported that the forward progress of the fire was stopped at 15 acres. It was fully contained after 9 p.m.

Menifee United Church of Christ studies to become a sanctuary church MENIFEE – Menifee United Church of Christ will spend three Sundays in August studying about how to become a sanctuary church. Being a sanctuary church means offering shelter or support to undocumented immigrants.

Many faith communities in California and across America have declared themselves to be sanctuary churches. It is estimated that America is home to about 11 million undocumented immigrants. The current administration

in Washington is committed to deporting them. “Jesus tells us to welcome the stranger,” the Rev. Bill Freeman said. “I believe that includes welcoming the undocumented immigrant stranger.”

During its worship services Aug. 13, 20 and 27, Menifee United Church of Christ will hear about and discuss becoming a sanctuary church. The members of the congregation will vote on becoming a sanctuary church

after its Sunday service, Aug. 27. Menifee United Church of Christ conducts worship services 11 a.m. Sundays at 26701 McCall Blvd. in Menifee.

me so much.” If you begin to face your problems in life with this kind of attitude, it will make every problem that much

sweeter. In him, Pastor Zac, Fusion Christian Church www.myfusionchurch.com

How to face your problems Zac Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us. Romans 5:3-5 Why? It’s the question each and every one of us has asked when life seems to hit the fan. We wonder if God has left us, if he really loves us at all or maybe he’s just mean and he’s punishing us. We all go through the Sudoku answers from page B-6

emotional roller coaster that dealing with our problems brings. The truth is that God hasn’t left you and he isn’t being mean. He actually loves you more than you could possibly imagine. Romans 5:3-5 said, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us.” There are two truths you desperately need to know while facing problems in life. If you know these two truths you can rejoice even when facing difficulty.

The first truth is that whenever you’re facing a problem in life it means God is making you better. It’s right in the middle of those tough times that God shows us more of himself. He teaches us to trust him more and to never quit. The second truth is that whenever you’re facing a problem in life it means God really loves you. You might not feel like he does at the moment, but the Bible is very clear that his immense love for you knows no bounds. His love is not based on your feeling; it’s based on his character and his word. Maybe you could pray something like this today, “God, I want to thank you for this problem. I know you’re making me better even through this, because you love me so much. Help me to learn what you want me to learn and to trust you. Thank you for loving
