insurance on those commercials which have become commonplace in recent years. But for students at Murrieta Mesa High School, those cold-blooded creatures are more than just a scary myth or spokesreptile for an insurance company. They are intriguing and misunder-

stood creatures, according to club founder Samantha Hershowitz. Hershowitz said she was looking to make new friends who shared her uncommon interest in reptiles so last year she hatched the idea of a school group focusing on reptiles that would promote education and

Tim O’Leary Staff Writer Regional concerns that have been simmering for two and a half years are starting to boil over regarding the soaring costs of law enforcement services. The concerns have prompted the leaders of 17 cities throughout Riverside County to band together in hopes of finding a solution. “We’re getting people to listen,” Temecula Mayor Jeff Comerchero said during a July 28 council discussion of the issue. “The point is, how do we deal with it and how do we fix it?” The 17 cities that contract with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for police services have banded together behind a common strategy. City leaders are speaking out and pressing for greater

involvement in the county’s cost assessment process. They are all keeping one alternative – tax increases or new fees – as a last resort. The cities are also monitoring steps by the county to analyze its public safety expenses and billing procedures. At the same time, a newly-appointed county supervisor said he is crafting a proposal that he plans to soon present to Sheriff Stan Sniff and others. “It’s got to be resolved,” said Chuck Washington, who was appointed to the countywide board in March. “That’s a challenge.” Gov. Jerry Brown picked Washington to succeed Jeff Stone on the five-member board. Stone, a former Temecula councilman and mayor, completed more than two terms as a county supervisor before he was elected to the state Senate

on Nov. 4. Washington can approach the police cost issue from a unique perspective. He represents the county now, but he is the only person to be alternately elected to the Murrieta and Temecula city councils. Murrieta has its own police department. Temecula contracts with the county for police services. “There’s a balance that can serve both interests,” said Washington, who declined to detail his proposal until after he meets with Sniff. Moreno Valley initially signaled its concerns over spiraling contract costs during a council study session in March 2013. The discussion unfolded following a five percent increase in the contract’s cost and a further assessment to help pay for a countywide communications system. About that time, the need to

balance the budget prompted that council to cut $6 million from its police services contract. That forced the city to eliminate 27 police officer positions through layoffs, attrition or by failing to fill existing vacancies. The action occurred as Moreno Valley was reeling from a sharp drop in revenues that unfolded after the recent recession began in 2008. The city’s general fund revenues dropped $17 million during that period from its fiscal year 2008-09 level of $96 million. The concerns have intensified there and in other contract cities since then. Moreno Valley revisited the issue again in September 2014. The city’s police budget was trimmed by another $1 million that fiscal year, a

An ordinary table and extraordinary day

John Hunneman Columnist Our tour guide called it his favorite story and he had bunch of them to tell. It was my favorite too. Seventy years ago, on the morning of Sept. 2, 1945, hundreds of warships gathered in Tokyo Bay for the signing of surrender documents ending the war with Japan and officially bringing World War II to a close. The Japanese has ceased hostilities on Aug. 14, but it took a few weeks to get all the formalities in place. All eyes were on the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) that morning where the ceremony was to take place. It was no coincidence this ship was chosen. Missouri, of course, was the home state of President Harry Truman. The last of the great battleships – from stem to stern she was 232 feet taller than the Washington

Monument – the Missouri had been launched in January 1944 in time to be part of the battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. For the surrender ceremony that day the British Navy had provided a fine mahogany table to be used for the document signing. However, when the documents arrived aboard the ship it was obvious they were larger than the surface of the fine mahogany table. This would not do. An admiral, along with four sailors, set out to find a table big enough to be part of history. Their first stop was the wardroom – where the officers dined – but the tables there were bolted to the deck. The Mess Decks, where the enlisted men ate, was next. Breakfast had just occurred and the tables were being wiped down and stowed away by the mess cooks. One ordinary table, where minutes before sailors had drunk coffee that would stand up a spoon and finished off the last of their bleepon-a-shingle, was hauled away for the ceremony. Another stop was made in the wardroom where a green table cloth, with numerous coffee stains, was appropriated to cover the rectangular table. On that ordinary table with the stained cloth, just past 9 a.m., papers were signed that ended the most destructive war in history. Sixteen million American men and women served in the military

during World War II. This year, for the first time, the number of surviving World War II veterans dipped under 1 million. The latest estimate from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans is there are 855,000 living World War II vets, almost all of them in their 90s. About 93,000 World War II veterans live in California, more than any other state. These members of the greatest generation are leaving us at a rate of about 492 each day. Recently I attended the “Spirit of ‘45” ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the war at the wonderful Atria Vintage Hills assisted living community in Temecula where about 20 World War II veterans live. What an honor to be among these men – and their families – who won the war and saved the world We all sat around ordinary tables in the dining area and I thought back to the day I toured the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, where she has been a museum since 1999, and the story the docent had shared. The table and table cloth used 70 years ago are now on display at the museum at the U.S. Naval Academy. The USS Missouri, located a few hundred yards from the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, is a must stop if you get to Hawaii. And if you are lucky enough to find yourself in the company of a World War II veteran, be sure to say “thank you.”

Storm Events postpones this year’s Grand Prix in light of California’s severe drought LAKE ELSINORE—Lake Elsinore Grand Prix race organizers Storm Events and Podium Productions regretfully announced the postponement of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix this November. The postponement is due to California’s severe drought conditions. Both parties plan to continue the race in November 2016. With the state of California reaching historical drought conditions, the governor has declared a “State of Emergency” that does not allow for the purchase of water through the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. Because

of mandatory statewide water restrictions, EVMWD must abide by the governor’s executive order and cannot supply the amount of water needed to build and maintain the race track. The Lake Elsinore Grand Prix is a 7.2 mile off-road race which starts and finishes at The Diamond stadium, wraps around the city of Lake Elsinore and features two days of racing in different classifications of dirt bikes, as well as four-wheelers, side-by-sides and UTVs. “We understand this historic race is very important to the race community and know they will be

disappointed with the decision to suspend the race in November,” Storm President Dave Oster said. “But after much consultation with the city of Lake Elsinore and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, we feel this is the right thing to do in light of what is happening with our water supply throughout California. We want this race to continue, and with the right conditions we look forward to the 47th running of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix in 2016.” The race has a 46-year-old history and was made famous by Bruce Brown’s film “On Any This year’s Lake Elsinore Grand Prix has been cancelled due to the ongoing drought.

SCOUTS from page A-1 theme of the jamboree was “A Spirit of Unity,” and the brothers were thrilled to be a part of it. Originally the Dulls were assigned to a troop from the San Francisco area, but due to some reassignments were able to be part of Troop 308, comprised of Scouts from all over Southern California. Will said that preparations included a “shakedown” campout to check gear and make sure the scouts were able to pitch their tents in the space allotted to the group. “We had a couple of meetings with the troop to kind of get to know each other,” Will said. “Then we had a shakedown campout which is basically one camp out where we pretended we were at the jamboree site just over the weekend to make sure spacing and arrangements for the campsite were correct.” Will said that the adventure began on a tour bus in Tokyo. “We went around Tokyo looking at a bunch of different places like the temples and some shopping districts. That was really cool,” he said. “It was kind of just with our troop so we didn’t have that element of community which was my favorite part of the trip.” Matthew, who is a life scout currently working on his Eagle Project, said visiting with people from other countries was his favorite part of the trip. “It seems small but it’s an awesome experience, I talked to people from all over the world, just about common things, just to get to know each other better,” Matthew said. Once the two arrived at the jamboree site, they had the opportunity to take part in literally hundreds of activities focused on discovering new cultures, the environment, sustainable development and global development issues.

jamboree learning about a myriad of things, but the campout really stuck out in Will’s mind as a life changing event. “At the campout there was so much more to do, you could go around trade patches and stuff with people from other countries, the interaction from people all over the world,” he said. “Right next to us was a troop from Luxemburg, the UK and South Africa. They were all right next to us so all these people are just constantly interacting with each other over simple camping stuff. It feels like you are going to a different country if you need help or something.” Both boys said they enjoyed the visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, calling it a “unique experience” as they learned what had happened that day in August of 1945 bringing about the end of World War II. While he liked being able to be a part of it, Matthew said it was uncomfortable. “When we went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial it just felt weird since we were from the United States and our country is the one who did that. It was kind of shocking and it made me realize that is never the answer to do something like that,” he said. “It’s hard to explain.” Will said that most people knew at least a minimal amount of English so there wasn’t a language barrier, so to speak. “English was definitely the main language there, but the one story I like to tell is one time as I walked to the bathroom, I tried to count how many different languages I heard and it was 12. It’s pretty amazing that I heard 12 languages in just 100 feet,” Will said. Matthew said that he was excited about the language barriers the two could potentially face on the trip. “When I was younger I didn’t really like traveling or going someplace I was not used to or uncomfortable with,” he said. “I enjoyed talking to people from different countries. They all had different accents which is so cool to think about.” Matthew said he was shocked when talking with one group of Scouts he was told he had an accent. “We were talking about the different kinds of accents and they were telling us how weird it is that we have accents,” he said. “I don’t think about us as Americans having accents, but they were trying to copy ours. It was fun.” Both boys said all scouts should make the attempt to go to the next World Jamboree which is scheduled for 2019 at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia. “I would tell Scouts to get a little out of their comfort zone and don’t be afraid to talk to people,” Matthew said. “It might be an uncomfortable situation but you will overcome it and have a great time.” For Matthew, the entire experience was life changing in many ways, but the one thing he knows is that the jamboree has made him curious. He now wants to travel and see the world, something he never gave much thought to before. “It has made me really want to explore different countries throughout my life and see as many different places and things as possible because some things are just amazing and you don’t think about how big the world is,” he said. “There are just so many amazing things you can see.”

Local Department of Energy working on making solar electricity cost-competitive without subsidies Joe Naiman Writer Those who invest in solar energy facilities currently receive tax credits or other government subsidies, and the U.S. Department of Energy is funding research into improved photovoltaic technology to make solar energy cost-competitive without government subsidies. The SunShot Initiative was launched in 2011 to make solar electricity cost-competitive with conventional energy sources by 2020 in the absence of any subsidies. The Aug. 9-13 annual meeting of SPIE, the international scientific society which furthers knowledge of optical science, included an Aug. 10 plenary session with a presentation titled “The Importance of Reliability to the SunShot Initiative” and given by DOE program manager Becca Jones-Albertus. “Our overall mission is to lower the cost of solar electricity,” JonesAlbertus said. “Where we’re trying to go is to make solar cost-competitive without subsidies.” Jones-Albertus is the photovoltaic program manager for photovoltaics research and development in DOE’s Solar Energy Technologies Office. She oversees $200 million of funding to reduce photovoltaic material and process costs, including improved module efficiency and reliability. The SunShot Initiative plans to award $40 million of grants for reliability research in 2015. “What we want to do is to decrease the cost of solar energy more significantly, well below grid parity,” Jones-Albertus said. “Reliability is a critical cost lever.” Research in reliability plays a major role in achieving that goal, including improving photovoltaic module lifetime and reducing degradation rates. That reliability increases the lifetime energy output, which also increases confidence in system prediction and thus lowers perceived investment risk and the cost of capital. “We need significant further innovation,” Jones-Albertus said. When the SunShot Initiative was

launched solar energy was approximately four times as expensive as conventional generation. The cost of solar energy has decreased by approximately 64 percent since that time. “Costs are coming down dramatically,” Jones-Albertus said. The United States currently generates approximately 20 gigawatts of solar energy, or enough to power four million homes for a year. This is approximately 10 times the output generated in 2010. The DOE SunShot goal is to generate 300 gigawatts of solar energy annually by 2030, which would equate to 14 percent of all United States energy produced. “Reliability is an important factor,” Jones-Albertus said. Reliability tends to be defined in terms of degradation rates, but a system with a higher degradation rate may be less expensive while a technology with a lower degradation rate may cost more. “There’s always the risk of reverse progress,” Jones-Albertus said. “Choices might be made to cut costs that negatively impact reliability.” Currently the median annual degradation rate is 0.5 percent while the average is 0.7 percent. “Work is under way to look at what is the true shape of performance,” JonesAlbertus said while showing charts whose efficiency figures reflect degradation. The DOE’s photovoltaics program has three goals: improving reliability and durability, improving conversion efficiency and lowering material and processing costs. “These things are often tradeoffs,” Jones-Albertus said. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have test laboratories in Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Denver, Orlando and Williston, Vt. That combination covers different climates, latitudes, and altitudes. “Our goal is to have systems that can power for decades,” JonesAlbertus said. “We want to think about performance more broadly than efficiency.” Greater penetration of solar onto the grid will include additional

costs for factors such as storage and enhanced power electronics, which will require the cost of photovoltaic electricity to be even lower. “There are going to be additional costs,” Jones-Albertus said. One pathway to make solar electricity cost-competitive with other forms of energy involves lowering the annual degradation rate from 0.75 to 0.2 percent and increasing

rooftop residential, commercial and utility generation. “Most of what we’ve done would apply equally well to all markets,” Jones-Albertus said. That doesn’t preclude the DOE from recognizing the different traits of those markets. “We have funding in our department-based programs that look separately at each of the markets,” she said.

system life expectancy from 30 to 50 years, increasing module efficiency from 16 to 25 percent, reducing the module price from $0.65 to $0.30 per unit, decreasing labor and hardware costs from $0.60 to $0.30 per unit, and lowering the finance costs from 7.0 to 6.0 percent. “There are many pathways to get here,” JonesAlbertus said. The solar energy markets include

wheeling stunt they call the Kiss of Death in June. The team, established in 1999, performs dirt bike stunts about 80 feet in the air and has grown into one of the best freestyle motocross teams in the world, according to a biography posted on NBC.com. Consisting of team members, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Todd Porter, Derek Garland and Destin Cantrall, the group launches themselves, along with their dirt bikes, off ramps and performs incredible feats including the Kiss of Death for audiences at events such as the X-Games, Red Bull X-Fighters and the Dew Tour. The foursome grew up in and around the Temecula area, where dirt biking, off-roading, racing and desert camping is a part of life growing up. Despite hundreds of broken bones and near-death experiences, the guys are still the ultimate thrill seekers. “This sounds like a tremendously dangerous act, really,” Stern said. “People died trying to do this thing.” Members of the group said they had broken bones and even lost friends when tricks went bad, but they never threw in the towel.

Each member of the group has different areas of expertise, performing variations of somersaults, handstands and wheelies for the energetic crowd and awestruck judges. “That was unbelievable,” the show’s host Nick Cannon said following the performance. Stern said it was one of the most dangerous things he had ever seen. “It was incredibly exciting, loved those guys,” he said. “I am getting a motorcycle and starting a gang, you’ll see.” Stern told the group that Fitz Army’s act made him the most excited that he had ever been on the show. “You guys were too much. It was wonderful,” Stern said. “I have never seen a more dangerous thing, you are wonderful.” Klum said the act made her sick to her stomach. “I was so worried for you guys, then when you got so close, bank after bank after bank, it was terrifying,” she said. “I have not seen anything this crazy ever before.” Mel B. said the performance was brilliant and left her wanting more in “a sickly way.” Mandel said the group scared the

“heck” out of him and “it looked spectacular.” “I know it’s not time for this, but I can’t hold it back. I am going to say yes,” he said. “I am voting now. I can’t wait.” All four judges voted yes for the group’s return to the popular NBC show. Metal Mulisha Fitz Army’s next performance on “America’s Got Talent” will be on Tuesday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. when they compete for a spot in the next round at Radio City Music Hall in front of the judges. The results show will air on Wednesday night following viewer voting. Viewers can vote for their favorite act by phone, Facebook, on NBC.com, via Google (search “AGT”) and via the AGT app (available on the App Store and Google Play). Fans will also have the chance to save an act in jeopardy during Wednesday results shows via Google’s Instant Save.

Whitewood and Jackson Avenues Tony Ault Writer

Murrieta city engineers stepped away from traditional thinking on signaled road intersections presenting the Murrieta City Council with the idea of creating the city’s first roundabout intersection at Whitewood and Jackson avenues. City councilmen questioned the speed of the new conceptual street alignment plan for Whitewood Avenue near Interstate 215 presented by the city engineering staff. Yet, at last Tuesday’s regular council meeting gave their nod to the plan. The intersection is a main connection between Temecula, Murrieta and Menifee. In June 2014 the city council adopted Resolution (No. 14-3192) providing $14.5 million in capital improvement funds for the realignment of Whitewood Avenue between Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Jackson Avenue. A “T” intersection was included in the plan. It wasn’t until July of this year the engineers presented the change to the council. The engineering plan presented would realign Whitewood Avenue at Jackson Avenue into a circular intersection allowing traffic to flow without stopping at a traffic light. Engineers estimated it would save about four seconds travel time for motorists. Although the cost of the proposed project would be about $200,000 more than a traditional “Tee” intersection, the engineers

reported that it actually would be safer for motorists. The roundabout’s estimated $11.7 million cost is lower than the $14.7 million capital improvement allocation. The engineers, and most of the council, first viewed the plan for the intersection in a “T” configuration with signal light until the roundabout intersection concept was studied. July 7 the engineers approved the roundabout plan and presented it to the council. The plan would require the city to purchase additional property at the intersection. The engineers reported the landowners in the area are in favor of the roundabout. Councilman Randon Lane criticized the engineering staff for bringing the roundabout idea to the council so late in the planning process. “Why did you go this direction so late?” he asked. Lane however, told the engineers that the roundabout did have merit. Mayor Harry Ramos, after the presentation, said he was also surprised at the late roundabout change, but found it favorable. Supporting their plan, the engineers drew the council’s attention to other roundabouts in and out of the Temecula-Murrieta Valley area. City Engineer Bob Moehling and his staff suggested the council build an icon or statue in the center of the roundabout, as a way to give residents driving around it a sense of pride in the community, and could show the city’s personality to those travelling the Interstate 215.

roundabout at the intersection would be in view of the freeway. He pointed to Temecula Valley Wine Country’s roundabout on Highway 79 as an example of what might be done in the roundabout. The council, after reviewing the oral and written reports, told the engineers and City Manager Rick Dudley who approved the plan, that they generally favored the roundabout. In another action, the city council gave its consent to transfer control of city’s cable television franchise (FIOS) from Verizon California, Inc. to Frontier Communications Corporation. Frontier recently bought out the FIOS system supplying Murrieta and many other cities across the nation from Verizon. Councilman Jonathan Ingram and the other council members received assurance from staff that the city residents still have a choice on their cable subscriptions. The city is supplied with cable connections from Verizon (now Frontier) and Time Warner. Residents may choose which cable company they wish to use. The council heard a presentation from city hotelier John Wang, owner of the Comfort Inn, requesting the approval of a self-imposed sales tax for the establishment of a Tourism Business Improvement District in the city. The sales tax revenues, collected only by city hotel owners, would be sent to the city and the city in turn would return the money to what would be called “Tour Murrieta,” made up of hotel owners, for use in promoting the city and its tourist attractions worldwide. One percent of the room sales tax would go into the tour group for a total of $25,000 the first year and increasing up to 3 percent in the third year. The city council heard and generally approved the idea after understanding the city could audit the group at any time. Currently the city has only one hotel, the Comfort Inn. Two other hotels, the Residence Inn and the Comfort Inn, are in the planning and construction process. The owners of the hotels are in approval of the “Tour Murrieta” group, Wang said. The information was received and filed. A public hearing will be called on the matter at a later date.

Reptile Recon founder and President Samantha Hershowitz, right, shows one of many snakes the club owns in Old Town Temecula on Aug. 15. Shane Gibson photos

REPTILES from page A-1 make their high school experience so much more enjoyable,” she said. “So I decided to create the club which later turned into a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the community.” Community service and education are the club’s main duties, according to Hershowitz. “Our activities consist of, but are not limited to, traveling to grade schools around Southern California with our animal ambassadors and doing fun and educational presentations, educational birthday parties and fun events at local hot spots,” she said. Hershowitz said admission into Reptile Recon events is free and students who take part are offered community service hours, “We do however accept donations,” she said. According to club member Ashlyn Hazelaar, since Reptile Recon is a new nonprofit organization, there is no facility so all of the reptiles live with Hershowitz and her family where they are fed and cared for daily. “All of the reptiles are rescues, which means that none of them were bought,” Hazelaar said. “All of the reptiles come from different backgrounds such as our anaconda. She was given to use by a Marine who was going out of state and couldn’t take her with him. A lot of the times we get reptiles because people don’t want them or they don’t know how to take care of them.” Hazelaar said that size can also become a problem for reptile owners as is the inability to give them the attention they need to thrive.

“We are more than happy to take in any reptile and they will go to a good home and be taken care of for the rest of their lives,” she said. Hershowitz said that sometime reptile enthusiasts will fall out of the hobby or raising reptiles so she takes them and gives them a home. “We keep the reptiles in appropriate sized enclosures when they are not out for shows,” she said. Hazelaar was new to school when she saw the club advertised in the school news. “I thought I could make some friends, and boy did I find what I was looking for,” she said, adding that she had never owned a reptile. “When I went to the first club meeting everything was new for me. From the moment I walked in I could tell that this was the place I could spend my time with.” She started attending the club meetings and became enthralled when Hershowitz would bring the reptiles to the school for students to handle. “I was in awe when I saw these snakes,” Hazelaar said. “So I kept coming back and eventually the president, Sam, said that we were going on a field trip and that we could stay the night at her house. It turned out that I was the only one able to stay the night but all the club members could go to the field trip. So when I stayed the night, Sam and I connected and we’ve been best friends ever since.” Hazelaar said she enjoys the small community the members have formed together as well as the friendships she has forged being a part of the club. While Hershowitz agrees with her, she loves the fact that her involvement has opened new doors for others like Hazelaar. “What I enjoy most about being involved in Reptile Recon is the fact that I can do so much and change the world one step at a time,” she said. Students who would like to join Reptile Recon only need to come to meetings with a signed permission slip. “As easy as that and they are in,” Hershowitz said. Hazelaar said that students wishing to create a club only need to find something they are interested in and begin the process based on their school’s rules. “Other students can start some-

thing like Reptile Recon by creating a club about something they enjoy and love as well as get members,” she said, adding that becoming a nonprofit is not as simple as just declaring intent. “It’s not an easy fee to pay to become a nonprofit. A lot of work and money as well as time go into a project this big.” For those not wishing to form a club of their own but who want to become involved, there is another option, according to Hershowitz. “Any group could become a ff i l i a t e d w i t h R e p t i l e R econ and volunteer,” she said.

ENTERTAINMENT

Barn Stage Company brings Broadway shows to Temecula Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Jeremy Scott Lapp and Jordan Beck continue their 2015 Cabaret at the Merc Summer Series downstairs at the Truax Building this week. Next up is the award-winning irreverent musical “Urinetown,” chosen for the timely subject matter, a fictional drought-afflicted city. Lapp discussed the show, the launch of Barn Stage Company, and the location this group now calls home. Lapp’s long running Sunday Cabaret at the Merc has seen regular sold-out live performances, but the future of Barn Stage Company is in building productions. If there was a space to do it in Southwest Riverside County, Barn Stage Company found perfection with the 4,500-square-foot downstairs of the Truax Building, the ground floor new theater location was a natural fit. “We owe so much a debt of gratitude to Mr. Truax,” Lapp said. “His belief in our company and what we are doing has been phenomenal.” The Barn Stage Company’s “Urinetown” is directed by Lapp with musical direction by Taylor Peckham and choreography by Chelsea Nicole. The show begins Aug. 21 and runs through Aug. 30. With audience seating of 100 people per show, tickets are selling quickly, according to Lapp. “Don’t let the name throw you. Those who haven’t seen the Tony Award-winning performance are in for a treat,” Lapp said. “The show won three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards.” The musical depicts a water shortage caused by a 20-year drought, leading a governmentenforced ban on private toilets. Citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. One hero decides he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom.

With hashtags like #ItsaPrivilegetoPee, “Urinetown” marketing thrives on verbal puns and shows its irreverence in lyrics, attitude and performance according to Lapp. As director, he has built a cast including Michael Mittman, Rachel King, John George Campbell, Paul Kehler, Wyn Wilson, Angela Griswold, Shaina Knox, Luke Jacobs, Karin Gittins, Devin Collins, Bethany Slomka, Travis Lyon, Jonathan Sangster, Brennen Winspear, Cory Finch, and Corky Loupe, all with impressive resumes. “The talent we are drawing is exciting,” Lapp said. The stripped-down set of “Urinetown” puts focus on the actors and music, according to Lapp, in a theater that can accommodate any show or setting. “We are positioning ourselves differently here,” he said. “Barn Stage Company is doing shows that people in Los Angeles or San Diego can’t see.” The black-painted theater space is vast yet intimate, set back behind the double doors of the Old Town Temecula’s Truax Building. Inside, scaffolding, a spiral staircase, and rolling sets harken to “Smash!” The actors Barn Stage Company has assembled kick their shows to the next level. “Audiences are blown away by the talent, and the production takes place all around the theater, in between the audience and onstage, going beyond proscenium style,” Lapp said. “We’re on to something.” With 27 years of theater under his belt, he knows the details that make a show something special. “We have live bands at every show and are able to rearrange the seats for each performance,” he said. “The audience is in for a treat.” Lapp is no stranger to guiding shows to success. Having worked at the La Jolla Playhouse, ushering “Bonnie and Clyde” to Broadway, he looks forward next to bringing “Spring Awakening” back to the stage. Original Temecula-themed per-

“Urinetown” performances are Aug. 21-30, downstairs in Old Town Temecula’s Truax Building, with an impressive cast for this irreverent, award-winning comedy musical. Courtesy image

formances are currently being written for future shows. Barn Stage Company is working with writers and lyricists on wine tasting musicals to celebrate art and culture in the valley. With shows that start at 8 p.m. there is plenty of opportunity for ticketholders to dine out at one of Old Town Temecula’s awardwinning restaurants nearby. “We look forward to being a large part of Temecula culture,” Lapp said. “Especially with the plans Mr. Truax has for the south arch area of Old Town.” What do you love about Broadway or going out to the theater in Temecula?

Field Of Honor seeks artists for its Patriots Chalk Walk MURRIETA— Murrieta Rotary’s issued a call for artists to paint patriotic images with chalk at the club’s annual Field of Honor scheduled for Nov. 8-14 at Town Square Park. It will be the third year for the Patriots Chalk Walk, added to the weeklong event to pay further tribute to the personal heroes honored by the field. The images

are painted on a wide sidewalk that rings the display of more than 2,000 flags put up in perfect rows and columns. The event honors personal heroes, many of them military veterans and first-responders, but also anyone else special to flag sponsors. The chalk artists are scheduled to paint starting the morning of Nov. 7 and continuing on to Nov. 8, opening day of the field. The public’s invited to watch these talents at work.

The field’s opening ceremony will be at 1 p.m. on Nov. 8. There is no entry fee for artists and modest cash prizes are offered. Artists can choose spaces six feet high in widths of four, six or 10 feet. This event is open to all with the ability to draw. Twenty artists painted last year as well as a number of youngsters. Chalk suitable for this kind of painting will be provided. Applications are being accepted through Oct. 28 and must include a sketch of the art planned or a de-

scription of what is to be painted. A number of spaces also will be set aside for kids on a first-come basis. The youngsters also receive a box of chalk. Information and application materials are available on the club’s website at murrietarotary. org and at murrietafieldofhonor. com. Contact for the event is Al Vollbrecht, who can be reached at (951) 440-6595 and avollbrecht@ verizon.net.

But imagine this; tens of thousands of animals a year are served at Animal Friends of the Valleys by my calculations. Multiply that by the 2 grand I spend and add in a few extra thousands for those who need special care, plus overhead costs and you’ll surely understand why AFV is in need of our help. The group offers more than sheltering services, shot clinics – which I heartily support – microchipping – another thing I had done for my animals at AFV – education, euthanasia for those animals that are just too sick to go on, fostering, community as-

sistance for those who need help spaying or neutering their pets, licensing, the list goes on and on. The shelter last year ran at a budget of just under a million dollars. Now I know that seems like a lot of money to you and me, but when you look at the scope of services provided, I’d say that $1 million is a flat-out bargain. Now the shelter needs our help. They are running out of food for the animals and since they serve our community in such an important way – I mean, can you imagine what kind of chaos there would be with all of the stray pets

It’s ‘Taxnado’ season in Sacramento

Assemblywoman Marie Waldron Special to Valley News

Senator Jeff Stone Special to Valley News

In 2014 voters passed Proposition 2, a measure creating a “rainy day fund” to provide a financial reserve that would help stabilize state finances and avoid future multibillion dollar deficits that plagued California in recent years. The proposition had wide, bipartisan support and was widely hailed as a small, prudent step toward financial stability in state government. Unfortunately, the need for a reserve fund to finance state government didn’t seem to apply to California’s schools. During last minute budget negotiations in 2014, the California Teachers Association persuaded Democratic leaders and the governor to include a cap on school reserves so money tied up in reserve funds would be subject to future contract negotiations. The proposal, inserted into a last-minute budget trailer bill, passed on a party-line vote with

little fanfare or public debate. Without reserve funds, it’s difficult for school districts to save for unforeseen costs such as repairs or the purchase of new school busses. In addition, temporary taxes enacted by Proposition 30 will be phased out over the next three years, making the need for school reserve funds even more urgent. The cap also impairs district credit ratings, drives up interest payments and makes it much more expensive to borrow money needed for new buildings or other projects. I am pleased to report that on Aug, 18 I voted on amendments to Senate Bill 799, which grants greater control of school funding to local school officials, exactly where it belongs. I am optimistic that the bill will receive final legislative approval, along with the governor’s signature. Waldron is a Republican representing the 75th District, encompassing parts of Inland northern Riverside and San Diego counties.

Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure will go on despite issues with city of Temecula Katie Parker Special to Valley News You may have recently heard about an issue we are working through in regards to this year’s Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure. In the interest of transparency, we would like to clarify what is transpiring and what this means for this year’s race. After 16 years of consistent support, the city of Temecula’s City Council on Aug. 11, unexpectedly placed new conditions for their support of the 17th annual Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure to be held on Oct. 18. Unfortunately, the conditions the council placed on their in-kind support would require Komen Inland Empire to violate our contractual affiliation obligations, would deny our affiliate, and by extension our local supporters, the opportunity to help fund vital breast cancer research, and would force us to ignore best practices for ethical and transparent local grant making. We have valued our 16-year relationship with the city of Temecula. However, for the reasons noted above, we have informed them that we cannot meet their new conditions. We are firmly committed to hosting this year’s race – the race

will go on! We are actively investigating our options for this year’s race, including the potential relocation to a neighboring community at an exciting new venue. While we are deeply disappointed in the recent developments, we are excited about the potential to offer a new experience for our race participants while ensuring the maximum return of funds possible in our local efforts to help women and men facing breast cancer. On behalf of the entire Susan G. Komen Inland Empire team, we appreciate your continued support as we diligently work to get this situation resolved. This race is our signature education and fundraising event, and it is so much more... this is a race with a purpose, as the dollars raised impacts thousands of women, men and families dealing with breast cancer within the Inland Empire. Together, we have made a difference for the past 16 years...it is vital that we continue our efforts to provide breast health education and access to lifesaving services to those in need now and in the future. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Parker is the executive director of Susan G. Komen Inland Empire and can be contacted at (951) 6767465 or kparker@komenie.org.

Since returning from summer recess in mid-August it has been Taxnado season here in Sacramento with proposals from Democrats to raise taxes on hard working California families spinning faster than a Category 4 twister crossing the Great Plains. Newspaper editorials and many of my constituents have asked how this State Legislature, flush with $10 billion in unanticipated revenue from taxpayers, is still looking to increase taxes. Among the recent storm clouds of Taxnado season is a proposed $1 billion tax increase placed firmly on the backs of working Californians who already pay for health insurance for themselves and their families. This extra billion dollars and more, Sacramento Democrats say, will improve the care of our state’s most vulnerable, the poor and the developmentally disabled, who have been pushed to the side in California for far too long. The cause is noble. The solution is wrong. The fact is clear – California already has the money to help those who need our help and we don’t need a tax increase to support the most vulnerable in our society. During the last budget, Republicans were kept out of the room when decisions were made on how to spend roughly $10 billion of unanticipated revenues. I joined with my Republican colleagues to urge the Democrats and the governor to spend the money on helping low-income and disabled Californians get better access to doctors through an increase of Medi-Cal reimbursement rates. I joined with my colleagues to provide increases to programs aimed at helping the developmentally disabled. Sadly, the Democrats and the governor chose to spend the extra money on a $600 million pay raise for public employees. They also spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a fund to “train” members of the California Teachers Association. These aren’t necessarily bad things, but it shows that Democrats in Sacramento put the interests of public employee unions ahead of real people in need of government assistance. Now that the budget has been adopted, the Sacramento Democrat Majority and the Governor are coming back to the Legislature to ask for tax increases to pay for programs that should have been paid for with existing revenues.

In calling for two special sessions to deal with transportation issues and healthcare issues, the governor pointed out the need to tackle our crumbling infrastructure and improve access to quality medical care in California. Again, the goals are noble. But the solution is wrong. The fact is that we don’t need to raise taxes to deal with our crumbling infrastructure, and we don’t need new taxes to fund vital programs that help the developmentally disabled and those who need access to quality healthcare. On the transportation front, Senate Republicans have consistently called for existing gas tax revenues to be spent on road repair. The Democrats in charge of the Legislature and the governor have siphoned money away from existing gas taxes and truck weight fees to pay for higher public employee salaries. On the healthcare front, Senate Republicans have introduced two measures in the current special session to improve access, increase reimbursement rates for disability services and restore 10 percent reductions in Medi-Cal reimbursement. Neither would raise taxes on California families. My bill, Senate Bill 2X 11, would redirect monies from the closure of state developmental centers to pay for community services for the developmentally disabled. Senate Bill 2X 4, authored by Sen. Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) and myself, would require any new General Fund revenues available over 2015 budget levels be dedicated to increase reimbursement rates for developmental disability services, up to 10 percent, to ensure access. I am prepared to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to fund these much needed programs with existing revenues. However, we cannot afford to allow Taxnado season in Sacramento to further damage the pay checks of California’s working families. Stone represents California’s 28th Senate District.

Blotter Stand-off at Temecula hotel reveals empty room, 29-year-old suspect turns self in

Police gear up to face off with a man wanted for questioning in an assault case after the unidentified man barricaded himself in a hotel room in Temecula’s Old Town.

Kim Harris Managing Editor A Temecula man has been identified as the man involved in a standoff at a local hotel on Monday, Aug. 24. According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Edgar Baca, 29, was wanted for questioning regarding a call received on Friday, Aug. 21 by Temecula police about a female minor who had been detained

for shoplifting at the Temecula Walmart. Upon police officers’ arrival the minor, who was determined to be a reported runaway, told officers that she was the victim of a false imprisonment and sexual assault by her adult boyfriend identified as Baca. Officers checked the parking lot for Baca, however, he had fled the area in his vehicle prior to officer’s arrival. Later that evening, Temecula

officers observed a vehicle being driven by Baca and a vehicle pursuit occurred. Baca was able to evade capture after abandoning his vehicle in the city of Murrieta. At 4 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 24, after receiving information that he was at a motel within the city of Temecula, officers attempted to make contact with the man who was captured on video surveillance entering a room on the second floor of the Motel 6 located at 41900

Moreno Rd. in Temecula. Officers attempted to contact him at the room when he barricaded the door and refused to come outside. “We received information that he was here at the hotel,” Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Armando Munoz said. “Several attempts were made to have him voluntarily come out and he continued to refuse so in the interest of public safety we contacted our SWAT team and our crisis negotiators and they arrived at the location.” While additional officers were responding, Baca was able to escape into the motel attic and onto the rooftop through an attic vent. Baca fled on foot and was not observed by the officers, Munoz said. According to witnesses on the scene, after using all tactics includ-

ing rubber bullets, a battering ram and tear gas to get the unidentified suspect to surrender, police finally stormed the room, only to find that Baca wasn’t in it. “The incident is over now. Upon making entry it appears that the suspect exited out of the room through the roof access, and exited outside through the roof,” Munoz reported. “The suspect did surrender to local law enforcement and is currently with our investigators over at the Southwest Station.” Munoz said he wasn’t sure of the time when the suspect was detained by law enforcement and that detectives notified those on scene of the situation. A portion of Moreno Road was closed while police dealt with the situation. Road closures did not affect the flow of traffic, Munoz said.

Two people injured in Temecula Valley Wine Country crash Joe Fanaselle Writer A three-vehicle accident in Temecula Valley Wine Country on Sunday night left two people seriously injured, with one being airlifted, officials said. The accident, first reported at 8:09 p.m., occurred on Rancho California Road, between Anza and Monte De Oro roads in the unincorporated area of Temecula known as wine country. The incident began when a man was driving a Dodge pickup truck westbound along Rancho California Road approaching Monte De Oro Road, Officer M. Earl of the California Highway Patrol Temecula station told Valley News. According to Earl, a witness observed the Dodge drift into oncoming traffic and sideswipe an eastbound Jeep before colliding head on with an eastbound Kia sedan. Both the truck and sedan came to a rest in the middle of the roadway

POLICE from page A-1 loss of one additional position. The city’s police spending totaled $38.5 million that year. The council discussed the issue again in June. “The impacts are quite profound,” Tom DeSantis, Moreno Valley assistant city manager, said in a recent telephone interview. DeSantis can also examine the issue from several perspectives because he has worked for Riverside and San Bernardino counties as well as the city of Riverside, which has its own police department. Murrieta is the only city in the southwest quadrant of the county that has its own police department. No officer positions have been restored in Moreno Valley since the cuts were made, DeSantis said. And even though the council has explored the possibility of possible tax increases or new levies, no decision has been made along those lines, he said. Moreno Valley is home to about 200,000 people. But the heightened focus on the issue – within the county and among the contract cities – is an optimistic sign, DeSantis said. In the past, contract cities merely shrugged when the county required contract cities to pay annual cost increases. “Talking about it for the first time is certainly positive, and hopefully it will be productive,” he said. “The level of communication among the cities and with the county has increased significantly, and that’s positive.” Temecula is in a much stronger financial position than Moreno Valley, but it also became alarmed more than a year ago. For much of Temecula’s history, the city has seen its sales tax revenue steadily grow as it added new car dealers, shopping centers and a regional mall. Temecula amassed enviable budget surpluses as its population more than quadrupled to nearly 109,000

Firefighters sift through the wreckage of a Kia sedan that was involved in a head-on collision in the unincorporated area of Temecula on Sunday, Aug. 23.

with major damage. The driver and solo occupant of the Kia, an adult female, was trapped inside the wreckage. Firefighters used a jaws of life tool to extricate the unidentified woman. She was airlifted by Mercy Air helicopter to a local hospital for

treatment of what CHP called major injuries. The driver and solo occupant of the Dodge truck, an adult male, was also briefly trapped in his vehicle and was extricated by firefighters. His injuries were considered moderate to

residents since it became a city in December 1989. The city’s nearly $66 million operations budget for the current fiscal year estimates that revenue will grow by 1 percent. But city costs are expected to climb by 2.2 percent, a spending jump that will total about $1.4 million. Most of the cost increase – which does not call for adding any new city employees – is attributed to rising police costs. Police costs are expected to climb 7.6 percent, about $1.8 million, in the current fiscal year. Much of the upcoming contract increases are due to current and future labor and pension agreements with public safety agencies. Furthermore, Temecula is expected to pay about $500,000 as its share of the cost to upgrade the county Sheriff’s Department’s communications system. In response to the contract cost increase, Temecula will continue to leave three positions vacant in the coming fiscal year. Police costs have increased 13 percent from 2009 until 2014, according to a staff analysis done for a Temecula council workshop held in May. Comerchero has called that rate of cost increases “absolutely unconscionable.” The Temecula council revisited the issue on July 28. Council members thoroughly discussed the issue and their possible options, but they did not edge toward any tax or fee increases. New taxes or increases in existing taxes or fees would likely require voter approval, city staff reported. “I personally think we’re taxed enough, and I don’t want to endorse any new taxes,” said Councilman Mike Naggar. He said some other cities are already stretched to the limit over the annual contract cost increases. Naggar and the other council members said they want to begin an

education process and seek resident input, possibly through a survey, workshops or other means. They also gave City Manager Aaron Adams the authority to hire, if needed, a consultant to advise on public information or tax revenue issues. “We really have some challenges ahead of us,” Naggar mused at one point in the council discussion. “People have to get engaged.” Smaller cities are also feeling the sting, Grant Yates, Lake Elsinore’s top administrator, said in a recent telephone interview. His city of about 58,500 residents spends close to a third of its nearly $39 million annual operating budget on police services, Yates said. He said the impact of the steadily increasing contract costs can intensify if a city’s crime rates spike. “It’s a perfect storm that is a difficult thing to get a grasp on,” he said. “This is one of our top concerns as a region as we move forward.”

major, Earl said. He was transported to a local hospital by ground ambulance for treatment of his injuries. Two occupants within the Jeep were uninjured and were able to drive their vehicle away from the scene after speaking with officers, Earl said. Rancho California Road was completely shut down in both directions during the incident.

Officers were investigating what caused the man to drift into oncoming traffic, but there was no immediate indication that drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, Earl said, adding that the incident was still under investigation. The roadway was reopened shortly before 10 p.m. after tow companies were able to remove the vehicles and clean up the scene.

Dining in the Valley Temecula’s Barnes & Noble Café writes the book on delicious fare

The bakery case at the Barnes & Noble Café is filled throughout the day with fresh baked treats from cookies to scones.

New menu items available include a wide variety of soups for fall, and new sandwich selections, from Turkey with Brie to Philly Cheesesteak.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer

emecula Valley’s Barnes & Noble has become more than a bookstore, it’s a destination. For book lovers, it’s a haven. For mothers with young kids, it’s story time and a chance to grab a coffee and try their hand at mastering the art of the new adult coloring book craze. With the latest additions to the menu, the Barnes & Noble Café is an ideal place to spend an afternoon away from the lingering summer heat. Readers who arrive with a Nook in hand can read any book for free from Barnes & Noble’s free Wi-Fi along with a signature Starbucks beverage. The café sits an easy reach from the magazine displays and featured book tables that line the central pathways of the store. Lisa Ridenour, Barnes & Noble Café’s manager for 10 years, showcased some of her favorite selections from behind the bakery case. She has watched the café move from just Starbucks drinks to the large number of offerings now available to diners. “We are a full-service café,” she said. “The Farmer’s Wrap is my favorite thing we have here. It’s breakfast, low in calories, and good any time of day.” The combination of scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms in a lavish roll wrap is reasonably priced and only 360 calories. Visitors to the café can enjoy the atmosphere of the bookstore from over 10 bistro tables. A wall of bench seats can accommodate groups, while outdoor seating is also available. If you are looking for a quiet work lunch, or a conversation filled meeting place, the café can

accommodate all with the open and airy space. “The sandwiches are some of our most appreciated new offerings,” Ridenour said. “The café has added several, as well as gourmet pizzas with wood-fired crusts, chicken tenders, and soups that will be delicious this fall.” Sandwiches on the new menu vary from the new Turkey and Brie, smoked turkey and Brie cheese served on a nine-grain bread, or a Philly Cheesesteak with thinly sliced beef, sautéed onions, and white American cheese on a pretzel roll. “Our unique ovens enable us to heat the sandwiches, chicken tenders, and quiches so that they warm in the center and stay crispy on the outside,” Ridenour said. While the store offers a member’s discount at the café, Starbucks cards are not usable at this location. “Our members get their 10-percent discount off any purchase at the café, as well as the rest of the store. Members of the Barnes & Noble Kids Club also are invited to come to the café on their birthday to receive a complimentary frosted cupcake,”

Ridenour said. The Kids Club membership is free and available for sign-ups inside the store or online at www.BarnesandNoble.com. “Parents can sign their children up for Kids Club at Story Time – currently on Tuesdays, Fridays and special event Saturdays,” said Community Business Development Manager Regina Reese. The café has a unique atmosphere for eating lunch, and on a Monday midday, a steady flow of visitors filtered through it. “It’s a perfect place to have a coffee and something sweet while reading on my Nook,” one café visitor said. “I read while my daughter finds her perfect book.” As we waited to order, the café manager announced a tray of fresh baked scones over the loudspeaker. Scents of baking breads wafted from the café, along with freshly brewed Starbucks coffee. For lunch, we selected the broccoli cheddar quiche and the basket of chicken strips with sweet potato chips.

A select group of sweet treats from Chef Iuzzini’s book are now available for sampling at the café. Other sweets include slices of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and mousses in a variety of flavors. The Gooey Chocolate Caramel Tart, a deep chocolate-caramel ganache and soft caramel baked in a hazelnut streusel crust. “My favorite is the Spicy Malted Chocolate Chipotle Brownie,” Reese said. “It’s an amazing chocolate and spice blend.” Known as the brownie with a kick, off the Sugar Rush menu, Iuzzini’s blend of bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate, barley, paprika, chipotle chili and red pepper does not disappoint with its complex flavors and spicy finish. It’s a perfect and decadent end to lunch at the café. Barnes & Noble Café in Temecula is located at 40570 Winchester Rd.

with buttery crust, had just the right portions of broccoli and cheddar in every bite. Made with broccoli, onions, and cheddar cheese in a prepared custard with a touch of Dijon mustard, the quiche is a winner, and one that has moved to highly craveable. The café’s chicken strips have crunch on the outside, and pair well with the sauces available, which are ranch, barbecue or ketchup. Served with the gourmet sweet potato chips, the strips maintained just enough spice to satisfy either a grown-up or child’s palate. The drink menu is regular Starbucks fare. “Anything you can order at a regular Starbucks, you can also find here,” Ridenour said. “Our pumpkin

Entertainment

Shakespeare in the Vines tops off summer season with ‘Twelfth Night’ Tessa Fieri Intern “Twelfth Night” may as well be a contemporary romantic comedy. On paper it has the ingredients: disasters (shipwrecks, separation, etc…) that lead to absurd love triangles, loveable fools put the audience in stitches and there are side plots of mischief and hilarity. However, the Early Modern English dialect, historical setting and antiquated social norms give away its actual identity as a Shakespearean play. Shakespeare in the Vines, hosted by Baily Vineyard and Winery, transported audiences into an evening of roaring laughter, romantic anticipation, and witty wordplay, with each and every cast and crew member contributing essential elements to this Temecula tapestry of Shakespearean theater. Most experts agree that the title “Twelfth Night” refers to the Epiphany, or the twelfth night of the Christmas

celebration (Jan. 6). In Shakespeare’s time, this was celebrated with a festival where everything was turned “upside-down”– much like the topsy-turvy episodes and carousing found throughout “Twelfth Night.” In the midst of wine country and nestled in the hills, the audience found their seats as dusk settled, Baily wine glasses in hand. The azure skies deepening alongside the plot, clouds obscuring the stars, but lending a hazy blue hue to the night; an awareness of the surroundings was cleverly integrated into the dialogue: “the stars shine darkly? – overhead…” Shakespeare’s plays were originally performed open-air and usually in the afternoon. The outdoor seating gave integrity to the performance, as did the winery itself, in its resemblance to an Italian vineyard. The stage was a piece of art in and of itself. An Elizabethan style manor with plenty of windows and doors for escapes and mischief, provided the space for

players to dance and romp through, hanging off balconies or laying across a terraced bench. The play centers on a female protagonist, Viola. Viola, shipwrecked and separated from her brother Sebastian, finds herself in unknown lands. She disguises herself as a man, Cesario, and serves the Duke Orsino – a lovesick and masculine romantic, hopelessly head-overheels for the Lady Olivia. Viola falls in love with the Duke, who continues to dote on Olivia, and Olivia falls for Viola/Cesario. This triangle and web of confused and gender ambiguous love makes for an interesting plot – not to mention the side plots and exploits involving Feste the Clown, Malvolio, Mariah, Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Sabrina Foley embodied Viola with perfectly timed facial expressions (most often of confusion, fear, disgust, or a combination of the three) and honest expression of heartfelt loyalty and devo-

tion. The two others of the love triangle, Michael Guccione and Jenn Blanck, found ways to communicate contemporary emotions and witticisms through the medium of Shakespeare’s words – whether with raging voices or expressive gesticulation. The trio was complemented by the powerful performance of Feste the Clown by Preston Helms. Helms immediately filled the stage with a contagious energy, reaching into the audience with his gravity-defying buoyancy, booming voice, and one-of-a-kind rendition of “What is Love” (it may not have been originally put in by the Bard, but it seems he would approve), and timely comedy in word and in action. Jordan Tudor, playing Mariah, Olivia’s serving woman, charmed audiences with her dimples, wicked sweetness, and clever scheming – teaming up with Eric Dunn as loveable drunkard Sir Toby Belch. Of course, the play would not be complete without an outrageous villain; a role executed

without boundaries by Beau Allen. Playing Malvolio, servant to Olivia, Allen gave a brilliant show (which included pink cross garters, yellow stocking, a corset, and terrifying grins).

The last two showings of “Twelfth Night” are Friday, Aug. 28 and Saturday, Aug. 29. Tickets for this great show are available online at http://www. shakespeareinthevines.org/..

Lisa Fu took second place and she was awarded $75. Jeannie Webb’s “Golden Tree Of Life” took third place and she was awarded $50. Honorable Mentions and $25 each went to Tamara Girard, Michael O’Neill and Barbara Perryman. The judge for the art show was

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Pechanga Resort & Casino, California’s largest resort-casino, is flush with promotions in September to entice locals and travelers alike. From September “drive

away” and cash promotions, to concerts that suit a wide array of musical tastes, look no further than Pechanga when asking what to do this September in Southern California. “It all starts on Labor Day,” said Ciara Green, media relations man-

ager of Pechanga. “On September 7, one does not have to labor too hard to win $100 in EasyPlay at Pechanga.” Games start at 11 a.m. and run until 8 p.m. Labor Day, where every five minutes, one player with a Pechanga Club card properly inserted into a slot machine will win $100 in EasyPlay. “More fun comes with Lucky Lanterns Tuesdays, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. where Pechanga Club cards properly swiped at designated kiosks across from Pechanga Box Office will be entered into a $100,000 Grand Drawing,” Green said in a recent press release. “One lucky player will walk away with the top prize of $10,000 in cash.” If you wish to try your luck winning cash or cars, Pechanga is loaded with opportunities this fall. Visit its website for more information on entering the Harvest Moon celebration and the new Pechanga Bingo breakfast, served at 9:30 a.m. daily.

“Those looking for upscale bingo can also enjoy a champagne brunch the first Sunday of every month at 11 a.m.,” Green said. “Saturday, September 26, bingo goes glow in the dark at Pechanga in a cosmic bingo event, including DJ music, dancing, full bar, contests, games and bingo.” Poker players are invited to take their chance on winning tens of thousands in special September tournaments. Monday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m., players are invited to sit down for the $40,000 guarantee Labor Day Poker tournament. “The event requires a $175 buy-in. Saturday, Sept. 12 offers a $15,000 poker tournament and Saturday, Sept. 26 gives players the chance to win $30,000 in cash prizes. If a new car for the fall sounds good, the Pechanga Poker Room gives away a brand new Mercedes Benz CLA 250 on Saturday, Sept. 26. Drawing entries may be earned from September 1 to Sept. 24 for every hour played

MURRIETA—The 34th annual 2015 San Diego Quilt Show will be held Sept. 9 through 12 at the world class San Diego Convention Center. This year’s theme will be A Walk in the Park to coincide with the centennial celebration of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition held in Balboa Park, a historic landmark also known as “The Crown Jewel” of San Diego. The show will offer over 400 quilts on display of different quilting techniques and genre, five special exhibits including the Balboa Park Diamond Anniversary Quilt, on loan from the San Diego History Center, and Queenie’s Historic Crazy Quilt made in 1918 by Gladys May Whittles-Benson from silks she collected from her travels all over the world. This handmade historic quilt is for sale with proceeds benefiting Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. The show’s featured guest artist will be Lisa Bongean, owner of Primitive Gatherings in Murrieta. She’s known worldwide for her primitive and folk art designs featuring hand-dyed wools, homespun, reproduction and designer fabrics. She brings flair and style to Moda Fabrics with her special designs. She has designed several fabric lines for them as well as writing and publishing six different quilt books and over 200 quilt and wool patterns. In addition there are 14 classes still available at the show with instructors from all over the country offering projects for every interest

and skill level. Make and Take projects will be offered by some of the 60 quilting vendors attending the show. Plus, Learn at Lunch Lectures will be given each day on various topics. In keeping with the historic anniversary celebration, one of the Make and Take participants, Mike Sabo and Ginger Alberti of Sew Cranky Antique Sewing Machines is offering showgoers an opportunity to step back in time. Using Sew Cranky’s antique hand crank machines, even beginners can make a Hands on History project of their own. The show will also include hourly door prizes and raffle baskets, kids’ scavenger hunt with prizes, and new and old quilts for sale and more. There will be a Preview Night and Wine Reception Party featuring Bongean. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. General Admission is $10.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Old Town Temecula is gearing up for the final weekend of its summer series, Hot Summer Nights. With Friday night live music slated from Baily’s Old Town Front Street to the Civic Center Conference Center, and the last Saturday Night Movie Classics at Town Square Park, 2015 summer activities in Old Town draw to a close. Hot Summer Nights All summer long, Friday evening events in Old Town have gathered crowds of locals and visitors. “Hot Summer Nights is like a vacation for the entire family,” stated Melody Brunsting, coordinator for the Hot Summer Nights program. “Bands play on patios, in parking lots and special stages throughout Old Town Temecula.” Music for the live shows in 2015

has ranged from blues, tribute bands, reggae, Cajun, zydeco, ska, beach, big band, alternative rock and country concerts at venues throughout Old Town. This Friday night, see the Bayou Brothers at Baily’s Old Town Front Street or head to Third Street Smokehouse to view Big Truth. The Smokin’ Cobras will perform on 4th Street, while the Rudy T. Band will be on stage at Mad Madeline’s. Finally, Valley Winds will play at the Civic Center Conference Center. Other entertainers, such as stilt walkers, magicians, mimes and jugglers – along with Dynamite Dave – will perform on Old Town Front Street and Main Street. Other activities, such as bounce houses, photo booths, eating kettle corn and face painting guarantee the kids will have fun. Free family activities are from 6 to 10 p.m. Hatch Chile Festival The Old Town Temecula Hatch Chile Festival promises to draw record crowds to Town Square

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Sisters open boutique real estate agency in French Valley Kim Harris Managing Editor For sisters Kristi Roberts and Paula Goodspeed, going into business together was a no-brainer. The two brokers were always close as children, born only 14 months apart, they were inseparable. “We always longed to work together again,” Roberts said. “We had been tossing it around and it was something we always wanted to do. We decided to work together again and start a real estate company together so we opened up our storefront up in French Valley which is where I live.” After much discussion between the two, Premier South Real Estate, their new boutique real estate firm, located in the Stater Bros. shopping center at the corner of Winchester and Benton roads, became a reality. “It’s pretty exciting for us to work together and open the only real estate storefront in French Valley proper,” Roberts said. According to Roberts, the sisters both obtained their broker’s licenses within a short time of one another. “I have been a real estate agent since 2002. I love French Valley, it’s my primary marketplace,” Sisters Kristi Roberts and Paula Goodspeed recently opened their own boutique real estate agency, Premier South Real Estate in French Valley.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Gardening with children just a few simple rules. First, let’s talk about “age appropriate” – you can introduce young children to gardening at 3, 4, or 5 years old. You may need to keep an eye on them at that age, but set up “ground rules” first. Things like, don’t put anything in your mouth without checking it out with me first is a good starting point! I got my daughter a set of children sized gardening tools, bucket, rake, watering can, etc. so she felt like she could do the same things I was doing. Remember, kids will imitate you, so always set a good example. Show them how to use tools in the garden, but make it fun! When things are no longer fun kids will become bored or distracted and find something else to do quickly. As we’re heading into fall, I will cover specifics on this next month. You can begin planting seeds for “fall crops” and one that’s fun and quick for young children is radishes. They typically are grown within three weeks, which seems like an eternity when you’re 4 or 5, but the key is taking the kids out into the garden on a regular basis so

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Design Columnist Hello friends and fellow gardeners! This week I’d like to devote my column to those of you with kids. I know there are a lot of you out there, and I was just thinking about when my daughter, Sara, was young and how I got her into the garden with me. There are many books on how to garden with children, but I’m going to share information here based on my personal experience. I was “room mom” for years in my daughter’s elementary school so I got to enjoy lots of kids and found out how much fun they were to be around if you follow

Kids will be proud they grew it themselves.

Real Estate / Home & Garden GARDENING from page C-1 they can see how their seeds are doing. They can see if they need water or if weeds are coming in and then you can tell them what weeds are and how to remove them. Although seeds are fun to watch sprout and grow, another perfectly acceptable source are plant “six packs” or small containers of plants that are ready to plant and care for – more immediate gratification for the impatient. I believe patience is a good thing for kids to learn because it comes in handy in the garden and throughout life. Peas are another good seed or crop to plant with children over the fall season. You’ll be able to take the little ones out to pick them off the vines and eat right in the garden or show them how to save some of the peas to plant another crop next year!

This will enable them to understand the cycle of life easier, as it relates to plants at least. You can really have fun by digging in the soil with them to plant some small plants you picked out at the nursery like some colorful annual flowers and preparing the planting hole with some amendments and “food” for the soil/plant. If you have good soil already, you should see earthworms there. Show the kids, the boys especially will love them! Tell them how the worms not only create food (from their poop – ewwww!) but also help “aerate” the soil like tiny tractors, to help the plants grow even better. When you’re planting or picking from plants, just take them out and go on a “nature hunt” – lots of fun! You’ll see an entire world out there in your garden if you look closely, both you and your children will have

a fantastic time, I guarantee it. Look for grasshoppers, lizards, butterflies, spider, katydids, etc. I just had a large group of baby lizards emerge in my backyard. They’re actually adorable and you can tell the children they will eat many of the “bad” bugs in the garden. Of course, you will need to let them know the difference between bad and good bugs and why some are bad because they eat our plants. Install a bird bath outside, possibly a hummingbird feeder as well, and tell the children if they sit very quietly and watch closely they will see the birds come to drink. You could add a bird feeder also and let them watch the different types of birds come to eat the bird seed – the kids will love this. They will learn the different types of birds. Tell them how important it is to keep the birdbath and feeders clean so the birds don’t get sick and die. Let them help with this, that’s important. They want to help you so the more you let them, the better for them and eventually for you. If possible, give your children a place of their very “own” to garden in, just a small patch in the yard or a raised bed, or even some pots, but all their own. Then the two of you can decide what plants would work there. Don’t give them anything difficult to grow or maintain and enjoy that time together in the garden with them. You can instill a love of nature this way and eventually get into the world’s “eco system” with them as they get older. Explain why it’s so important to not put “poisons” into the ground beginning with our own backyards and how that relates to the entire world. Your garden is literally a school room for your children and I strongly advise taking advantage of it. You don’t have to take the kids to movies, the mall, plop them in front of the computer or television for fun. You can open an entire world for them and teach them about life and death right there in your own garden. Have a great week, get out there with the little ones on the weekend or whenever and have some fun learning about nature. As always, I’m available for landscape designing to help you create your own unique garden. McDonald-Cash is a professional landscape designer and specializes in drought tolerant landscaping. She can be contacted at www. uniquelandscapes.net or (951) 7644762.

Make the most of sale season Fall can be an ideal time of year for homeowners to tackle home improvement projects, as the moderate temperatures make for ideal conditions to work in and around the house. In addition, many retailers offer consumer-friendly sales in autumn, helping homeowners to save money. As early as September, many stores begin stocking their shelves in advance of the holiday season. As a result, stores look to unload summer and fall seasonal items. The following are just a few types of items homeowners might find at reduced prices this fall. Lawn and garden If you want to revamp your backyard, wait until late summer or early autumn to do so. At this time of year, you can find great deals on patio furniture, lawn mowers, perennials, shrubs, sheds and many other lawn and garden items. In addition, check with local contractors to see if they will offer discounts late in the season. Tree-removal companies, landscapers, fence installers, masons, and others may cut prices in mid- to late-autumn as they look to earn a bit more money before the arrival of winter. Snow removal Retailers looking to move snow blowers, shovels and other winter accessories may offer teaser deals to attract customers. It’s best to purchase such tools now before the first big storm drives up demand.

Cooking appliances Manufacturers typically introduce new stoves, cooktops and other cooking supplies in advance of the holiday season. Older models may be discounted to make room for the new arrivals, and you may be able to score even bigger savings on floor models. If renovating the kitchen is in the works, wait until early autumn to start appliance shopping. Painting supplies The weekends surrounding Labor Day and Columbus Day are also great times to find deals on home improvement, as retailers know customers have extra time to complete projects during these long weekends. Paint, rollers and other supplies may be discounted on such weekends, and you also may find discounts on power tools. Vehicles If you are in the market for a new SUV or truck to transport your home improvement project supplies, autumn is a good time to visit a dealership. Many dealerships liquidate their inventory in autumn to free up space for new model releases about to hit the market. Come autumn, you may find it easier to negotiate financing and leasing deals. Homeowners can save on home improvement projects and other needs by taking advantage of latesummer, early-autumn discounts.

Consider the tax benefits of home ownership economy.

John Occhi and Mike Mason Real Estate Columnists Today, just about everyone knows that there are tax benefits to owning a home, yet very few first time home buyers understand the significance of home ownership. For that matter, many move-up buyers don’t really understand the tax benefits of home ownership. Taxes, of course, are unique to every tax payer. There are many tax laws that are constantly changing. You should not rely on this article as advice or your authority to make any decision regarding real estate and tax planning strategies. The authors hold California Real Estate Licenses and are not qualified to provide you with that type of tax advice. What we do offer, is insight for when you meet with your tax professional, you’ll be better equipped to ask the right questions and plan the right strategy that works for you. While the exact tax benefits you’ll receive by owning your own home will vary on a case-by-case basis the average homeowner typically gets thousands of dollars in tax deductions. If you’ve never owned a home before, these deductions will be especially notable to you. Capital gains As a homeowner, it’s nice to know the most substantial tax benefit will occur upon the sale of your home, assuming it’s for a profit. When you sell, as a married couple, you’ll be able to pocket tax free up to $500,000 in profit from the sale; $250,000 for a single home owner. If you consider selling just about any other type of investment, you’ll be taxed on every dollar of profit – typically around 15 percent. Can you see how owning a home is a great investment? The theory behind this exclusion is that most people when they sell one home reinvest the profits into another home. This is a smart move for our

Mortgage interest When you take out a mortgage, or home loan, you’ll be spending a considerable amount each month on the interest of the loan. The way an amortized loan works is that you’ll be spending more in interest and less on principal during the early years of the loan. This means that most of your payment will be going to interest each month. Most home loan monthly payments are initially more than two-thirds interest – even with a great interest rate the interest on hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home add up very quickly. Both the federal and California tax laws allow you to deduct all of the interest you pay on your home loan. There are some details to check out, that may change from year to year, such as the total amount of interest that may be deducted (currently $1,000,000 for married home owners). For most of us, we’ll be able to deduct all of the interest we pay on our home, every year from our federal and state taxes. For example, if you borrow $300,000 for a home with a 4 percent interest rate you can expect to pay somewhere around $11,000 your first year toward interest. If you’re in the 25 percent tax bracket, you can then deduct about $2,750 off of your taxes. Wow, $2,750 – that might represent a month or two in rent you’ve been paying. Home equity loans A home equity loan, a line of credit, a home improvement loan, a second (or third) home loan all have the same benefits as an initial purchase loan. The interest paid is tax deductible. Discount points Discount points are a fee you may have payed to get the loan you got. A point represents 1 percent of the loan amount. Many times, a buyer who is planning on staying in the home for a longer time may pay points to buy-down the interest rate on a loan. In other words, using the $300,000 loan example above, you may have initially qualified for a 5 percent loan but by paying a point in advance ($3,000) you were able to

buy-down or lower your interest to only 4 percent. Buying down a loan is a great strategy if you are planning on staying in the home for an extended period – typically it balances out in less than five years. However, if the idea is to resell within a couple of years before moving up, then spending the money to buy-down the loan may not be money well spent. Consult with your real estate agent and mortgage professional to help figure out what is best in your situation. The good news is that discount points are tax deductible just like your mortgage interest. One point could save you and extra $500 or more off of next year’s tax bill. Property taxes Property taxes are the taxes that are paid to the county/state based on the assessed value of your real estate. While there is much to cover in a discussion about property taxes, suffice it to say that regardless of where you live you can expect to pay property taxes. In California you are taxed based on the assessed value. The rates can vary from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood, so understand this when you purchase your new home. Rates can be as low as 1 percent and in some cases as high as 3 percent. Using the $300,000 home example, this could be a $3,000 annual property tax bill ($250 a month liability) up to a $9,000 annual property tax bill ($750 a month liability). Property taxes are a tax deduction. Another $3,000 to $9,000 tax deduction is something everyone can appreciate. Again, check with your tax professional to determine how this will impact your annual tax liability to the IRS/Franchise Tax Board. Mortgage insurance Unless you put 20 percent or more down on a new home, you can expect to pay mortgage insurance on your home loan amount. The good news is the money you spend every year on mortgage insurance will be deductible; although there are income restrictions for this deduction, so again check with your tax professional before you start depending on this added deduction that will average around another $1,000 annually.

AGENCY from page C-1 Roberts said. “I obtained my broker’s license in 2010 and my sister became a broker shortly after that.” Goodspeed actually lives in the high desert and has a successful brokerage there as well, Roberts said. Roberts said that being a boutique real estate firm allows for her and Goodspeed to provide stylized service specific to each of their client’s individual needs.

Home improvements Home improvements add value to your home and also give you the ability to be added to the purchase price of your home for determining capital gains. Home improvements and repairs are two different things. Replacing a roof, adding a swimming pool, or resurfacing your driveway can all be considered improvements. Fixing a broken window, stopping a leaky faucet or any regular maintenance is not considered a home improvement and is not added to the purchase value of your home. If you are looking to add value to your home, it’s critical that you have access to all of your receipts. Once again, the advice of your tax professional is important here. Home office deduction Depending on your line of work, it may be possible to deduct for a home office off of your taxes.

Education

Temecula schools harness power from the sun at local schools Shelli DeRobertis Writer A newly installed solar carport system was completed just in time for Temecula Luiseno Elementary School to begin bustling with students and staff again on Aug. 12 when they returned back to school. What might look like just carports that provide shade to vehicles in LES’s parking lot and the bus dropoff zone are actually structures with photovoltaic panels on top used to produce energy. “It’s actually more than just solar,” said Laura Boss, spokeswoman for the Temecula Valley Unified School District. “They’ll also be used as lesson plans.” Boss said students will eventually use the system as an educational tool by studying online data graphs of the energy produced by the solar panels. TVUSD Director of Facilities

Development Janet Dixon said the district began looking into using solar about a year-and-a-half ago and ultimately determined that 20 sites (of TVUSD’s 29) were good candidates for generating savings. SolarCity was awarded the contract earlier this year. “We are projected to save 38 million over the next 25 years,” Dixon said, adding that a half-million dollars in savings is expected this year. She said the district’s power purchase agreement with SolarCity included free installation. “We have agreed to buy the electricity generated from the panels for the next 25 years, at 12.9 cents per kilowatt,” she said. The non-solar energy costs the district 20 cents per kilowatt-hour. Dixon said 18 of the 20 school sites have been outfitted with solar panel systems, and the remaining two sites set to receive solar

energy this fall include Margarita Middle and Vintage Hills Elementary schools. Those school sites, however, will receive hillside solar ground mounts instead of the carport structures, she said. Additionally, five batteries are set to be installed at various school sites within the district. The batteries store and charge energy and will help offset the demand charges that TVUSD pays during its peak usage, Dixon said. SolarCity spokeswoman Molly Canales said the solar systems used at TVUSD remain connected to the power grid to maintain a supply of electricity during times when there is not enough sun to create energy. Title 24 of California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards require that schools follow building codes and implement more renewable energy resources at their sites.

Carport solar panels are installed Aug. 11 at Luiseno Elementary School as part of a $24 million solar construction project at 20 Temecula Valley Unified School District sites. Each site is expected to provide between 70 to 80 percent of energy used based on last year’s energy usage.

According to SolarCity, neighboring Murrieta Valley Unified School District began reaping the benefits of solar energy in early 2012, after

SolarCity installed more than 10,000 solar panels on all 19 of their district’s school sites.

Boosterthon Fun Run to inspire Murrieta students to build character through sports MURRIETA—Antelope Hills School in Murrieta will host a Boosterthon Fun Run event on Sept. 3. It’s a nine-day program that increases funds for local schools and inspires students to live healthy, characterfilled lives. Students will run for about 30 minutes to themed music at the big event. Boosterthon’s character theme this year is Big World Recess. The theme introduces more than 1 million students in 1,600 schools across the nation to real kid-athletes in other cultures who play a sport with character. “In our 14 years serving schools, this theme is by far our best yet, because we are bringing students in America inspiring stories from around the world,” said Chris Carneal, Boosterthon founder and president. “Big World Recess promotes the side of sports we all love while giving students a rich global perspective.”

The fitness theme features stories of six kid-athletes and illustrates the power of living out character in sports and in life. Students will be introduced to uplifting stories originating in New York City, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Switzerland and Kenya. With a continued emphasis on multi-cultural education in American classrooms, Boosterthon students will experience up-close how sports bring people together. Documentary-style videos will teach students how to develop teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance through the everyday stories of the six kid-athletes. In addition to the character theme, Boosterthon’s cutting edge fundraising program helps schools raise 70 percent more than alternative fundraisers. Schools select their service level, which has custom service op-

tions; Boosterthon Live, Boosterthon Event, or Fun Run You, a school-led innovation of the popular program. Each level includes its own slidingscale pricing structure that allows schools to maximize funds. The most exciting addition to the Boosterthon Fun Run program this year is the brand-new Student Star video. Booster is the first company in its industry to use this revolutionary technology, which allows parents to cast their child as the star in a short film by uploading their picture at funrun.com. Parents can then share the video to ask for support from friends and family in a fun and light way. “Our schools dream big for their students,” Carneal said. “And they want a fundraiser that can keep up with their growing needs through innovation. Each year, we over-deliver by raising even more funds, inspiring

students in new ways and providing a world-class experience schools look forward to year after year.” Integrated into the program is Boosterthon’s 2015-16 giveback program, The Great Shoe Takeoff, with a goal to send 60,000 gently used pairs of shoes from the U.S., overseas. As classes reach fundraising milestones, Boosterthon will pay to fly a pair of shoes to communities in need. In developing countries, shoes can lead to better health, education

and jobs. This initiative partners with nonprofit delivery organizations to donate shoes where they are needed most. The Great Shoe Takeoff, like the theme, increases students’ global awareness and the idea that no matter where someone lives, they can help change the world. For more information about this year’s theme, the Student Star video, The Great Shoe Takeoff or bringing the Boosterthon Fun Run to your community, visit www.boosterthon.com.

Army veteran opens Zentangle meditative drawing art class to heal PSTD and depression I have been hooked ever since,” Carpentier said. She has opened Charkat’s Creative Insanity Art Studio on Jefferson Avenue in Temecula where the public can learn to Zentangle. She is also sharing her space with artists who will be offering painting and other art classes. All Zentangle students are required to first take the basic Zentangle 101 class which introduces the fun and relaxing drawing process. It’s an engaging art form that uses repetitive patterns

TEMECULA—After retiring from the Army, Charlotte Carpentier had to deal with chronic pain and depression from her years of military service. Medications made her loopy and caused her to lose interest in many of her favorite forms of art, but she discovered a new form of therapeutic meditation that changed all that. “I was looking at books on Amazon and I found a book on Zentangle. After reading the description, I ordered it. I gathered all the materials, drew my first tile and

to create striking works of art that anyone can achieve regardless of age or artistic ability. Zentangle is an easy way of creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called tangles. It is a proven method to promote mindfulness and fosters self-esteem, focus, relaxation, creativity and stress relief. People of all ages and skill levels can create Zentangle art and have fun in the process. “Once I found Zentangle helped with my ADD and PTSD, I knew I needed to share it with others,” Carpentier said. Already having a background in education and training, Carpentier traveled to Rhode Island to become a certified Zentangle teacher. She also achieved a second bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, focusing on the mind-body connection with stress and depression and the use of Zentangle as a form of therapy. Having served in the military stationed in other countries including Egypt, Italy, Japan and Korea, Carpentier’s influences come from sources all over the world. Now, through Zentangle, she has been able to pull all her art endeavors

into one place, and still have the mindful, therapeutic effect of being in the moment with her art. As a Zentangle teacher, she strives to bring all her eclectic energy to the public. Carpentier plans to hold a monthly class for her fellow veterans so they can share in a unique healing form of art.

American Counseling Association Special to Valley News It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious or nervous at various times. It could be a new work situation, a big test at school or an important decision to be made. Such events, for any of us, normally bring some degree of stress and anxiety. In fact, it’s usually a healthy response. That anxiety will make us focus more on what we’re about to face and think harder about the outcomes in front of us. But when anxiety becomes an ongoing situation that is affecting a person’s ability to lead a productive and satisfying life it’s much more serious and may indicate an anxiety disorder. Someone suffering from an anxiety disorder faces constant worry and fear. These emotions can be so overwhelming that they interfere with everything else in a person’s life.

Anxiety disorders can strike in a variety of forms. A panic disorder will bring feelings of terror that can come on very quickly and with no warning. In some cases a panic disorder will trigger physical reactions, such as sweating, chest pain, and irregular heartbeats, making a person feel like they’re having a heart attack. People suffering from a social anxiety disorder may find themselves constantly overcome with worry and feelings of selfconsciousness about common, everyday social situations. While no one knows exactly what causes these or other types of anxiety disorders, the symptoms are easy to recognize. If someone’s life is being disrupted because he or she is constantly fearful or panicky, has shortness of breath, feels dizzy, has trouble sleeping and finds it difficult to be still and calm, chances are high that some form of anxiety disorder is the issue.

While suffering from an anxiety disorder, of whatever type, clearly can derail what should be a happy and productive life, the good news is that an anxiety disorder can most likely be successfully diagnosed and treated once it is recognized and action is taken. Anxiety is not a problem to be ignored. Not only does it severely interfere with a normal, happy life, but the stress it brings can lead to serious health issues. If you or someone close to you seems to be constantly anxious and worried to the point that they are unable to cope with everyday life, a visit to your family doctor, or to a professional counselor specializing in this field, is an action that should not be put off.

Quickly recover from exercise aches and pains The old saying, ‘no pain, no gain,’ is not without its grains of truth. Moderate soreness in the muscles may indicate that time spent in the gym is working, but sharp pains may be indicative of injury. Workout soreness that persists can derail workout plans and may turn some people off from exercise. As the body becomes acclimated to certain exercises, soreness may be less prevalent, and there are ways for people to speed up their rates of recovery. Why do muscles get sore? Muscle soreness can occur a day or two after exercising. Doctors used to think it resulted from a buildup of lactic acid in muscles, but now they say that it is actually

muscle damage that is taking place. Exercise that pushes the muscles affects the fibers in muscle tissue, especially specialized structures that hold the fibers together. When you exercise, you are breaking down or tearing muscle, and the body produces swelling and soreness as part of the healing process. Warm up; cool down One way to prevent extreme soreness is to follow proper guidelines before and after a workout. Stretching and gradually building to your peak workout can help. This acclimates the body incrementally to the workout. Afterward, stretching and a cool-down period can help lengthen the muscles once more and ease any discomfort that might follow.

Extreme muscle soreness can be avoided by following proper guidelines before and after a workout. Courtesy photo

Consume some post-workout protein Before retiring after a tough workout, consume a light, proteinrich snack. The protein will help the body repair muscles overnight. Extra protein at breakfast also can give muscles the necessary fuel to start rebuilding. Choose anti-inflammatory foods and beverages Consuming foods and beverages that are known to limit swelling may help your body recover. Such foods and beverages may include tart cherry juice, leafy greens, whole grains, fatty fish, and beets. Know your limits It’s good to push yourself every so often to improve fitness goals. However, overdoing it may mean extreme soreness, or worse, an injury that is difficult to recover from. Experts recommend exercising every other day to give muscles the chance to heal. If you choose to hit the gym daily, try to work different muscle groups each day. If you feel muscles twitching during workouts, reduce the weight.

Health Unconventional tips for moms to lose baby weight LOS ANGELES—Most moms stress about losing weight after their baby is born and they’re anxious to shed those pounds right away. For some, the weight melts away with seemingly no effort or just by breastfeeding alone, while the greater majority has a more difficult time. As tempting as it is to find a quick fix, for mom’s health and safety, postpartum weight loss should be a gradual process. With the right combination of nutritious food, hydration, exercise, and sleep, moms can definitely get into great shape, or like Jennifer Johnson, perinatal exercise specialist and creator of Baby Strong Workout, even better shape than before the baby. Johnson has the following five unique tips to help moms lose the baby weight. Don’t weigh yourself “This might sound funny, but hear me out,” Johnson said. “Your weight isn’t the be-all end-all measurement of how healthy or fit you are. Also, in the postpartum period, your weight can be impacted by so many things that are out of your control. From my experience, closely monitoring your weight after having a baby can actually hurt more than it can help.” Focus instead on how you feel. Move your body often and in a variety of ways that make you feel good. Eat foods that make your body feel and function at its best. Stay hydrated, even more hydrated if you’re breastfeeding. If you need to use some type of measurement, monitor how your clothes fit but keep in mind that even if you get down to your pre-pregnancy weight, your body can change after pregnancy so clothes might fit a little differently but that’s not a reflection of how fit you are. Ditch the stroller Get rid of the stroller and don’t rely entirely on wearing your baby either. Carry baby in your arms as much as possible. Carrying baby in your arms burns 20 percent more

calories than wearing your baby in a carrier and the percentage is even higher than pushing your baby in a stroller. Incorporate movement into the nap process Hold baby close and do squats, side steps, slow dance, walk up and down the stairs in your house. Do whatever gets you moving and helps lull the baby to sleep. Walk, walk and walk Walking is one of the most amazing forms of exercise, yet also one of the most underrated. Try committing to going for a walk (even a short one) every day. Do the best you can. “As a mom, the ‘ideal’ situation isn’t always what actually happens, so be flexible and do what you can,” Johnson said. When you’re on that daily walk, try carrying your baby, even for just a portion of it, she added. Sit on the floor instead of on furniture Instead of always sitting on the couch or in a chair, try sitting on the floor more often. When you sit on the floor you change positions more frequently, become more aware of your alignment and posture and expend more energy getting up and down than when you plop yourself onto the couch. Johnson is a personal trainer, perinatal exercise specialist and founder of Fit for Expecting, a resource for safe and effective exercise programs for moms. Her specialty and exclusive focus is on the perinatal exercise. She has a passion for helping mothers and believes that by helping moms, she can positively impact the lives of their children. Johnson launched her first product, Baby Strong Workout, on Kickstarter to bring this unique workout concept to moms everywhere. You can help bring this project to life and get your Baby Strong Workout deck with your pledge.

Testimonials Barbara, Temecula 70+ I am really impressed with OsteoStrong. After only 1 month of treatments I have noticed more strength in my legs. Before I could only go up and down the stairs 2-3 times before my right leg would be limping. Now I am able to go up and down stairs with ease.

Linda, Temecula 70+ OsteoStrong has been a God-send for me! I have noticed improvements in my balance as well as decreases in the level of joint pain I was experiencing in my knees. My strength has gradually improved over time. A feeling of well-being results from continual visits. I recommend this series of treatments to anyone who wishes to improve their strength.

Temecula resident Christina Drob took first place in Dubai, UAE where she competed in the Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association’s World Championships in the Bikini Division on June 13.

Temecula body builder hits Dubai, wins World Championships in Bikini Division JP Raineri Sports Editor Whether you want to compete professionally or simply sculpt a well-muscled physique, becoming a bodybuilder can be a highly rewarding endeavor, regardless of your gender. According to local professional bodybuilder Christina Drob, “Bodybuilding involves more than lifting weights at the gym, it requires patience, discipline and a well-designed diet. It helps you develop a fit mind along with a fit body. With the proper planning and dedication, anyone can set foot into the challenging, yet rewarding world of bodybuilding.” Drob, an eight-year Temecula resident, recently traveled to Dubai, UAE to compete in the Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association’s World Championships in the Bikini Division, where she took first place on June 13. “I spent about 14 weeks preparing for the World Championships in Dubai. I trained about 12 hours a week with my sponsored coach for training and posing/stage presentation, Cynthia Gonzales Fitness. We

check in about weekly for a body assessment and to practice my routine. In the week before a show we check in almost daily,” Drob said. She started training for her first contest in 2012 after contemplating it for a few years. “I doubted whether or not I could do it, I questioned what people would think, but I couldn’t shake the notion that I might be good at it and that it would be an incredible experience,” she admitted. Competing became a “bucket list” item that Drob decided to try “just one time” so she could say she had done it. “My first amateur competition was in March of 2013. Of course I fell immediately in love with the entire process and ended up doing six competitions and qualifying for professional status by the end of that year,” Drob said. She is a wife and mother and works locally as a registered nurse in Medical Oncology at Loma Linda University Medical Center, Murrieta. As an RN she works three days then is off for four. Her routine during competition time is to get up and get her daughter ready for

school, pack her lunch, braid her hair, drop her off and go straight to the gym. “I’ll try to have errands done by the time I pick her up so that we can have a pretty normal life at home. We do play dates, homework, games, the pool or the park, dinnertime, except I eat my pre-prepared meals and her and my husband eat spaghetti or tacos,” she said. On workdays, Drob works 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., and tries to have an early dinner before she leaves and said she will hit the gym on her way in for a quick 35-45 minutes of HIIT cardio. “I train with weights on my days off because it takes about two hours total. I get home from work around 8 a.m. and get my daughter ready for school or my husband takes her so I can sleep while she’s at school. The slight differences in my routine for the off-season is, I don’t work out on my workdays at all. I don’t do the extra cardio and my diet isn’t as strict,” she added. At this point in her bodybuilding career Drob also has a nutrition sponsor, New Dawn Nutraceuticals, which provides all her vitamins, supplements, protein,

pre-workout, etc. and she is fortunate enough to have an apparel sponsor that provides gym wear for daily workouts. “I have a bikini sponsor that provides the bikinis I wear on stage. All of these things are personal expenses to many competitors and I am fortunate to have the support of these companies. I have also been fortunate to win cash to cover the other expenses involved in competing, such as travel,” she said. Originally from Orange County, Drob moved to the Riverside area at age 5. She went to college in Northern California (Chico State), graduated in 2001 with a journalism degree and moved to San Diego for about six years before she came back to Riverside County in 2007. Due to the recession, she went back to school in 2008 and graduated with a second bachelor’s degree in Nursing in 2010 from the University of Oklahoma (San Diego satellite campus). Drob said, “There are always struggles. When I started training I was slightly overweight and not particularly athletic. Transforming from a tired mom to a competitive athlete was practically a rebirth.

You have to have laser-beam focus when prepping for a show and most friends and family don’t share your vision and the dynamics of socializing change when you can’t eat and drink the same way, some old friends fall off, but new friends will appear. Of course the hours in the gym mean hours away from loved ones and even if they support you, they still miss quality time and so do you. Then you have the onlookers who judge you for being selfish with your time or even for being ‘too sexy.’ People always find a way to project their insecurities onto other people. I’m proud of my accomplishments and the balance I’ve been able to achieve in doing all of the things I want to do. When there’s a will, there’s a way.” Drob now holds the top two current global Professional Bikini Athlete titles in Natural Bodybuilding; the other being “Natural Olympia Pro Bikini Champion.” Up next she will be defending her top title of Natural Olympia Bikini Diva Champion in November in Las Vegas.

Temecula Dance Company active off stage helping people locally and abroad through Make a Difference Foundation TEMECULA—The Temecula Dance Company recently wrapped up its 23rd annual recital season with 15 spectacular shows topping 10,000 in attendance. With owner and Director Lani Morel at the helm, TDC has an army of 2,500 students that are guided by exceptionally talented dance instructors. Of the 2,500 dancers, 200 of them dance competitively and have quite the resume under their belt that includes recognition as Best Performance in the country by the Industry Dance Awards, Top Super Star Studio Award from Star Systems National Dance Competition in Las Vegas and the ICON Award at Showbiz National Talent Competition. In addition, TDC dancers are working professionally in TV, film, video and on stage. To supplement those achievements Morel and crew are active in the community with their work in providing dance arts education in

15 local schools. But Morel doesn’t stop there. She founded the Temecula Dance Company Make a Difference Foundation that is a not-for-profit organization that helps those in need both locally and abroad. This year the foundation provided new furniture for an orphanage in Mexico. It provides monthly funding to feed 50 children at the Pequenos Hermans Orphanage. It also provides monthly assistance to homeless families and seniors with housing as well as inclement weather housing for those still living on the streets. Sixty local, underprivileged children were provided with gifts, clothing, food and shoe gift cards. Funding was also given to help a child with cancer, a child with heart disease and an adult with early onset Parkinson’s Disease. TDC has grown to three studio locations – one on Temecula Parkway, one on the west side of Old Town on Felix Valdez and one on Winchester in Murrieta.

OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring helps New businesses celebrate to improve test scores, gives seniors openings with ribbon cuttings in Wildomar chance to make a difference Kim Harris Managing Editor OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring helps students improve test scores in reading and math while opening the doors for seniors to put their life skills to work for a younger generation, said OASIS’ Tutoring Coordinator John Dunnicliff. “Over nearly two decades, OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring has consistently improved students’ reading ability, academic performance and attitudes about learning. The program taps the tremendous potential of committed volunteers who have the time, patience and life experience to make a profound difference in the lives of children. The San Diego Branch of OASIS serves all of San Diego County, Temecula and the surrounding communities, Dunnicliff said. “We currently have 20 senior reading tutors at Luiseno and Ysabel Barnett Elementary schools in Temecula,” he said. “Our mission is that the older generation should read a book with the younger generation. In San Diego County we have 337 tutors reading with 717 students in 11 school districts and 94 schools. Those who take advantage of the program report positive results. Ysabel Barnett Elementary School in Temecula, the second largest school in the Temecula Valley Unified School District with over 1,000 students, according to Dunnicliff,

introduced OASIS Tutoring last year. Former principal Chris Nixon, whose father took part in the program as a tutor, said that the program is beneficial one, not just for students but for those who volunteer with the program. “It is only day two, and I love this program,” Nixon said last year, adding that there were more people interested in taking part. “Thank you so much for bringing it to our campus.” Intergenerational Tutoring takes advantage of the special relationships that develop across generations to reap benefits for both children and adults. Tutors are senior volunteers who have a love of reading and a love of children. They come with prepared lesson plans so there is no additional burden on teachers and are trained to use a curriculum specially designed by reading professionals for K-4 students and the Common Core standards. The tutor works with the same child each week, Dunnicliff explained. According to the group’s website, Oasisnet.org, Intergenerational Tutoring has been implemented in 20 cities and more than 100 school districts across the U.S. It has won numerous national, state and local awards for its success in linking struggling students with trained volunteers who are eager to pass on a love of reading. “At a time when many schools are struggling to meet the individual

needs of every student, OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring offers a bright ray of hope. Since 1989, our volunteers have helped hundreds of thousands of children to read and become more successful in school, the website reported. “In annual evaluations the program consistently receives high marks from educators,” Dunnicliff said. “We can help students improve their academic performance, and more importantly, we can help children embrace the wonder of reading and writing.” OASIS Intergenerational Tutoring is currently looking for seniors who would like to donate their time to bettering the youth of the community. “Why not share your pleasure and read with a child? OASIS Tutoring is seeking volunteers who can spend one hour a week in Temecula elementary schools with a K-4th grade child to build reading and language skills, self-esteem and positive attitudes toward learning,” Dunnicliff said, adding that no teaching experience is necessary. “Your enthusiasm, patience and compassion are far more important. We provide training, free books, teaching materials and ongoing support. We will choose a school and time with you.” For those interested in becoming a tutor, more information can be found on the group’s website. “Or they can call us at (760) 7966020,” Dunnicliff said.

Shumaan named grand marshal of the Turkey Night Grand Prix PERRIS—The greatest driver in the history of the prestigious Turkey Night Grand Prix, Mesa, Ariz.’s Ron Shuman, has been named grand marshal of the historic running of the 75th edition of the race at Perris Auto Speedway on Thanksgiving night. The race will match the Honda USAC National and Western Midgets. The announcement was made on Aug. 15 when infield announcer Chris Holt interviewed Shuman at the USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at the famous Riverside County racing facility. About an hour earlier promoter Don Kazarian asked Shuman if he would be grand marshal while he was signing autographs in the track sports bar and the racing legend gladly accepted. “Some of the greatest drivers in racing history have won the Turkey Night Grand Prix including A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Tony Stewart, Bill Vukovich and Kyle Larson just to name a few,” Kazarian said. “However, no driver with the exception of Ron Shuman has won it more than three times and he won it an amazing eight times. And, if it had not been for a flat tire on a last lap, he would have won it nine times. To show how impressive he was at Turkey Night, you can take all of the other drivers who won it and you cannot combine three of them to get as many wins as Ron Shuman had.” Shuman won his first ever Turkey

After a one-year hiatus from victory circle on Thanksgiving in 1983, Shuman again won at Ascot in 1984. His last win in the race at Ascot came in 1987. After Ascot closed in 1990, the Turkey Night Grand Prix hit the road at a number of different tracks and Shuman visited victory at Bakersfield in 1992 and 1993. When Shuman presides over the Turkey Night Grand Prix, it will mark the fourth straight year the

Nationals in 2009 and 2011. A third win this November would tie “The Demon” with all-time leaders Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif. and Lincoln, Ind.’s Dave Darland. As well as trying to win his third Oval Nationals, Gardner will be trying to put the wraps on his fourth USAC/ CRA championship and the three races at the Oval Nationals could go a long way towards achieving that goal. At the event, Gardner will be driving his familiar silver #4 for three-time USAC/CRA champion car owner Mark Alexander. Another of the latest entries is Ione, Calif. native Justin Grant. Grant, who spends all of the racing season in Indiana, will be steering the Baldwin Brothers #5 at the Oval Nationals. With a win at Eldora Speedway on May 9, Grant is ranked 10th in USAC National Series points. He also has a pair of wins and leads the points at Indiana’s Kokomo Speedway. In addition, the California native has two wins in three starts and is ranked sixth in points in the jackslash.com Indiana Sprint Car Series that can be seen on MAVTV’s “Dirty 30.” Lake Elsinore’s Parker Colston, the leader in the Rookie of the Year standings in the Amsoil USAC/CRA Series, has entered his second Oval Nationals. The Temescal Canyon High School senior entered the Oval Nationals last year, but was eliminated in a spectacular crash on the first night. Last Saturday, the impressive rookie, who is currently 13th overall in USAC/CRA points, qualified 7th fast in the 26 car field at PAS and finished 11th in the 30-lap main event. First place will pay $25,000 at the Saturday finale of the Oval Nationals and $1,000 to start. The two preliminary nights, Thursday and Friday, will each pay $5,000 to win and $500 to start. All three nights of intense racing action will be full-points paying races for the USAC National and USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series.

On Saturday, Aug. 22, the Temecula Titans American Youth Football and Cheer organization celebrated their 2015 Season Opening Game Day with a ribbon cutting of the new Temecula Valley High School Football Field. “Our Temecula Titans Board of Directors, parents, players and

The new football field is amazing and money well spent that services all the children in our community. Our parents are excited to have

the opportunity for all of our teams to be able to practice at one location so they are not motoring their children between different fields within the city several days a week,” said Titans President Sean Coy.

With the NLI Signing Date still months away, Feb. 3, 2016 in fact, two local student athletes from Great Oak High School have decided that it was time to put their verbal commitments out to the universe so they could focus on their senior years. Standout Wolfpack football players Jake Schwarzer, Linebacker, and Bryson Cain, Offensive Tackle, who both earned ‘All League CIF Honors’ last season, announced on Monday, Aug. 24 at a press conference held in the GOHS weight room that the two have made their college decisions. Schwarzer, who had multiple offers on the table, narrowed his selections down to San Jose State, Columbia, and Navy, ultimately going with the Blue and Gold of the Navy Midshipmen. According to Greg Biggins, National Recruiting Analyst for Scout.com, “Jake went with the Navy because of its post football opportunities. He has no problem with the military commitment and likes where he will be five years from now.” Bryson Cain announced his intention to play for the Arizona Wildcats next season.

Murrieta’s Bronco PONY League brings home World Series Championship and is recognized by City Council Tony Ault Writer

Mexico City. They defeated the team from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, in the semi finals 4-3 placing them back on the field in the championship against the team that handed them their only loss. Murrieta came out swinging and eventually defeated Mexico 5-3 to win the title and claim the world PONY League Bronco 11 Championship. Coach Dave Korinek spoke to Valley News, saying his Murrieta team had quite a battle with the team from La Quinta, facing them several times in the early tournaments. “After we took second in that first tournament, it lit a fire for the boys and they took that fire all the way to Virginia to win the World Series,” he said. “After we lost to La Quinta we beat them in the next tournament and we saw the boys start believing in themselves and each other. Losing can be a powerful motivator and when we played Mexico in pool play at the World Series and lost, it was the same mentality. We can beat them and we did for all the marbles in the championship.” Korinek said that as the boys moved further and further into the tournament, the talent pool offered some tough competition for the

The smiling young members of the city’s Bronco 11 PONY League team and coaches, triumphant with a World Series victory over two other top ranked international teams in Chesterfield, Va., Aug. 2-3, gathered in front of the City Council’s dais to receive their awards from Mayor Harry Ramos. Each of the team members in turn shook hands with Ramos as they received their recognition certificates. Then, much to their surprise, John Hunneman, Sen. Jeff Stone’s (R-28th District) communication director, presented the team and each team member congratulations certificates from the senator. The Murrieta team took to the baseball field in Chesterfield to face five teams, each seeking the coveted Bronco 11 PONY World Series Championship.

Murrieta team. “We battled some really good teams along the way,” he said. “What you see as you advance is pitchers hit their spots and you don’t typically get meatballs over the middle of the dish. Hitters need to be patient and hit their pitch which will most likely be on the outside corner so they have to be able to drive the ball to the opposite field to be successful. According to Korinek, the team knew going in that Mexico and Puerto Rico would give them a run for their money, but they were concerned about CBC Virginia who won the last two World Series too. “We knew they would be good as well and they all were,” he said. “Most of our games were 1 or 2 run ballgames. You had to win at all three main parts of the game... pitching, hitting and defense. If you made an error it could cost you the game, it was an extremely high level of competition out there.” Some of the teams the group played against had been together a long time, according to Korinek, who said there was a lot of talent pulling from some of the larger leagues, especially once the team made it to Virginia. “The CBC Virginia team pulls

at the level you need to, make an adjustment,” Korinek said. Aside from winning the championship, the experience of competing at such a high level of play from taking to the field against notable teams such as Mexico City to just getting on a plane was a big part of the thrill for the Murrieta Bronco PONY League Players, Korinek said. “Some of these kids had never even been on a plane before,” he said. “Staying together, riding school buses to the game and being a part of the Champions Game for mentally and physically disabled kids was amazing. The fact that you can’t just pay to play in this tournament, you had to earn it, made it all the more special for the players, coaches and families. It’s something we’ll all remember for a lifetime, it was surreal. It still hasn’t really sunk in just yet.” These players aren’t just resting on their laurels though, as the offseason begins, they are focused on next year’s play. “You know, we’ve had our hearts set on going to Cooperstown, N.Y. to compete this next year so that’s the plan right now,” Korinek said. JP Raineri contributed to this story.

from something like 26 cities and eight high schools to make their teams so we had our hands full, but our boys from the small towns of Murrieta/Temecula represented our cities with honor. People all over the world know the teams from California are always tough to beat. For us to represent the West Zone and put Murrieta on the map is an amazing feeling,” he said. With the stress of competition looming over the kids, Korinek and the coaching staff kept things fun and flexible for the players. “One great thing about these boys is they love the sport, the competition and friendships they have together. We had plenty of pool parties, barbeques and Home Run derbys to keep them having fun. We have so many great families too, that really makes a huge difference,” he said, adding that they tried to keep things loose and flexible while still teaching the kids to be responsible for themselves. “When you’re playing over the summer it’s hard not to be flexible when kids just want to be kids. But our main rules were always the following... Drink lots of water, get your rest and show up ready to compete. If something you are doing is not allowing you to compete
