A fire broke out at Lake Elsinore’s historic Machado House Saturday, Sept. 2, causing $150,000 in damage to the 159-year-old structure.

The blaze was first reported at 11:15 a.m. in the 15400 block of Grand Avenue in Lakeland Village, according to Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department Spokeswoman Jody Hagemann. “The first arriving engine company reported a structure fire with

multiple palm trees and one-half acre of vegetation involved,” Hageman wrote in an incident report. Grand Avenue was closed in the fire area while firefighters battled the blaze. Twenty-two firefighters, five engine companies and one truck

The successful Clay Walker concert was the first step in the “rebirth” of Galway Downs into not only a recognized international equestrian event destination, but as the future location of a top entertainment venue in the nation. Galway Downs, 240 acres of grassy fields, running streams, 400 recently upgraded horse stables, race tracks, equestrian training facilities, an inviting Village Center and the scene of countless weddings, sits just outside of the growing Wine Country of Temecula off state Route 79 at 38801 Los Corralitos Road.

Luciano’s winning platter on MasterChef Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

After back-to-back episodes from the kitchen to the Malibu vineyards, Dino Luciano advances to the Top 6 of FOX’s MasterChef. The producers revamped the mystery box challenge with a surprising twist. When contestants opened the box, all that was in it was a pair of chopsticks. Previous mystery box challenges gave the contestants a variety or single ingredient with which they were required to cook. Prior, the contestants would have a preemptive idea based on the ingredients. This time around they were to create a dish that centered on chopsticks.

As most contestants used Asian inspiration, Luciano took an array of cuisines and made his own unique dish with the creative freedom from the challenge. “This dish is inspired by my life, when I stop by three restaurants on the way home,” Luciano said. “I did a Thai peanut yellow curry on top of a clove-infused rice with shrimp and cream cheese with mint-wrapped wonton on top.” He said the hardest part of the challenge was figuring out how to set up the plate in an elevated fashion. He did not want the presentation to look like his takeout meals, so he took a long plate and placed

Railroad Canyon Road interchange project clears hurdle, moves into design phase

10 Things You Need to Know Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal. Hiring an agent should be like any hiring process, interview multiple agents to make sure you hire the right one! Because selling or buying real estate is probably the single largest financal decision you will make and it shouldn’t be left up to chance.

Phase one of the Railroad Canyon Road interchange project will widen the Railroad Canyon Road undercrossing from four to six lanes from Summerhill Drive to Casino Drive, replace the northbound ramps with hook ramps at Grape Street and add ramp acceleration and deceleration lanes at the Railroad Canyon Courtesy image Road off-ramps.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The final environmental document for the Railroad Canyon interchange project has been approved by Caltrans, pushing the muchneeded project into the design phase, the city of Lake Elsinore announced last week. The design phase for the $36 million project is expected to take two to three years, the city said, adding that it had studied and considered several alternatives before settling on Alternative 2. “We know how badly this project is needed and its importance to the entire region,” the city wrote on a social media posting. “This is a priority for the city and we are doing everything we can to get this project done as soon as we can.”

The Railroad Canyon Road interchange is notorious for backing up onto the 15 freeway in both directions during high-traffic times thanks to continuous growth in the area. “For many years this interchange has faced increased traffic congestion and unnecessary delays for travelers,” the city said. “The current design can no longer adequately serve the community.” The project will be completed in phases. Phase one will widen the Railroad Canyon Road undercrossing from four to six lanes from Summerhill Drive to Casino Drive, replace the northbound ramps with hook ramps at Grape Street and add ramp acceleration and deceleration lanes at the Railroad Canyon Road off-ramps. Phase two of the project will

include construction of a new, full interchange at Interstate 15 and Franklin Street, add auxiliary lanes from the Franklin Street Interchange to Main Street and the Railroad Canyon Road Interchange as well as widen Main Street and realign and widen the southbound on ramps from one to two lanes and construct a new frontage road on the east side of I-15. Upon completion, the project is expected to reduce trip times and improve traffic circulation and capacity for on-ramps and offramps at the interchange. It will also improve the level of service for the Grape Street/Summerhill Drive and Railroad Canyon Road intersection. To learn more about the project and see the latest schedules, visit www.lake-elsinore.org.

New Audie Murphy Road expected to open Sept. 22 MENIFEE – A new road, called Audie Murphy Road, connecting Normandy and Goetz roads from the north to the south, will open to the public going south, Sept. 22. The north side is expected to be completed during a future phase of the development. The existing Normandy Road, from La Ladera Road to Goetz Road, was permanently closed in February to make way for the new connecting road.

Additionally, road construction and signal modifications will occur along Normandy Road from La Ladera Road easterly over Salt Creek to Berea Road and will be closed from mid-September to midOctober. Drivers are advised to use an alternate route during construction. Please also note that ongoing miscellaneous construction along Audie Murphy Road will be occurring until the end of the year, which

should not impede traffic flow. For more information about street improvements, closures and detours, contact the city of Menifee’s Public Works Department at call (951) 672-6777, or for more information about the Audie Murphy Ranch development project, contact Brookfield Residential at (888) 802-3212.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale -According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Two incumbents, pair of high-profile challengers win seats in crowded RCWD board election Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Two longtime Temecula-area water district directors easily won re-election, but two others were ousted by a pair of high-profile challengers in the recent election for Rancho California Water District board members. One of the successful challengers, Angel Garcia, tasted victory, after repeatedly falling short in his bids to win seats on the Temecula school board and the Temecula City Council. The other winning challenger, Carol Lee Brady, is a political newcomer who is the wife of a prominent figure in Temecula and Fallbrook water circles. Incumbents William Plummer and Ben Drake held on to their seats by finishing first and second respectively in a crowded race for four open seats on the Rancho California Water District board. But incumbents Steve Corona and John Hoagland lost the board seats that they had each held for the past 16 years. Drake theorized that many voters were seeking a new mix on Rancho’s board when they marked their ballots in the recent mail election. “I think sometimes there needs to be a change on boards,” Drake said in a postelection telephone interview. “Sometimes it’s good to have a little shake-up.” Plummer, who did scant campaigning in the nine-candidate race, finished first with 14.2 percent of the votes cast. He is a retired water resources engineer who has served on RCWD’s board for the past 12 years. Drake, who finished second with

12.8 percent of the votes, was first elected to the board in September 2001. He owns a grove, vineyard and farm management company. Garcia, a businessman, finished third with 12.8 percent of the votes. Garcia made his first foray into politics when he unsuccessfully ran for the Temecula school board in 2010 at age 18. He unsuccessfully ran for the Temecula council in 2014 and 2016. Brady captured the fourth available seat by netting 12.2 percent of the votes. Brady owns a vineyard in Temecula’s wine country and is active with that area’s winegrowers association and its resource conservation district. Her husband, Brian Brady, is a former RCWD general manager who now holds that post for the nearby Fallbrook Public Utility District. Challenger Lou Williams finished fifth with 11.6 percent, but he did not win a seat. He edged out Corona and Hoagland; both of whom were elected to the board in September 2001. Corona is a farmer and business owner. He has served as president of the Riverside County Farm Bureau and held other leadership posts. Hoagland works as a water manager and consultant. Challengers James “J” Konrad and Mark Schabel finished eighth and ninth respectively. They did not actively campaign, and they had scant name recognition in local political circles. Rancho California Water District traces its roots to 1965, when it started out in a tiny wooden building on the former Vail Ranch headquarters site. Today, RCWD serves a 100,000-

acre area – approximately 150 square miles – that is home to about 150,000 people and encompasses Temecula and parts of Murrieta, French Valley, the Santa Rosa Plateau and wine country. About 30 percent of the district’s water supply comes from underground supplies. RCWD relies on that source to meet much of its residential, commercial and agricultural demands. The district owns Vail Lake, which was created in 1948 after the owners of Vail Ranch erected a dam on Temecula Creek, one of several main tributaries of the Santa Margarita River. Vail Lake is about 10 miles east of Temecula. The water held there is used to recharge its underground basins. Once largely anchored by local farmers and growers, RCWD’s seven-member board slowly absorbed a mix of business, development and water industry representatives over the past few decades. But the arrival of new faces to the dais has occurred sporadically over the past three decades. Part of Carol Lee Brady’s name recognition can be attributed to her husband, Brian Brady, who served as RCWD’s general manager from 2003 to 2008. He won a seat on the board in August 2011 but was barred from serving due to a potential conflict of interest with his FPUD position. Brian Brady has been a polarizing figure in Fallbrook-area water politics. He drew sharp criticism during a failed attempt to merge FPUD with the neighboring Rainbow Municipal Water District. The proposed merger sparked considerable acrimony in the community before it was rejected by a San

Diego County boundary-setting agency in September 2015. Carol Brady’s candidate statement said her experiences would give RCWD’s board “a balanced perspective and fresh ideas.” Three attempts to reach her for a telephone interview were unsuccessful. Another message left at Brian Brady’s FPUD office also went unanswered. Garcia’s accessibility stands in sharp contrast to Brady’s. Garcia was the only candidate to list his phone number in his candidate statement; an action he said netted him more than 50 calls in the weeks leading to the election. Garcia, 25, said his candidate statement served as a magnet that won him the attention and support of many voters. He was the only challenger whose statement was openly critical of some of the board’s policies. He vowed to “address RCWD high executives’ salaries and perks” whenever the board ponders its next rate increase. His statement declared, “Enough is enough! Stop the increase! Cut the fat!” That message resonated with voters, Garcia said in a postelection phone interview. He said he plans to bring the same accessibility and candid appraisals to his board position. “You’ve seen what I bring to the table and I’m not one to hold back,” he said. “I don’t intend to be shy in this post, but at the same time I don’t mean to be combative. I’m looking forward to serving with the other board members. That’s what leadership’s all about.”

Drake said in his interview that both newcomers will have a “sharp learning curve” ahead of them when they take office. He said the RCWD board will lose a pair of directors who have vast experience in water issues and district management nuances. Conversely, Drake said board turnover can benefit the district by interjecting a fresh perspective on Rancho issues and policies. “Change is good sometimes,” Drake said. He said that Garcia might come to realize the wisdom behind many of the decisions made by past RCWD boards and administrators. “I think he’s got a tremendous amount to learn,” Drake said. Drake said he hopes that the board newcomers don’t view their RCWD posts as a “steppingstone” to higher office. Some elected officials in the region and state have begun their public service by serving as water district directors before they sought higher posts. One such instance has occurred in recent memory in water board politics. James “Stew” Stewart was elected to the board in December 2011 after at least two unsuccessful campaigns for a seat on the Temecula City Council. Stewart served four years on RCWD’s board before he was elected to the Temecula council in November 2016. A resident of Temecula since 1991, Stewart owns several barber shops in the region. He tapped customers, friends and acquaintances in his bids for his Rancho Water and Temecula council seats.

of the culprit. Magee believes the fire was the work of trespassers and said that a house with no electricity would not “just spontaneously combust.” The city had cleaned the property up two years ago as part of the LE Clean Extreme initiative, Magee said, adding that former Mayor Gary Washburn had worked with the group and had listed the property for sale. “He was the manager responsible for the property,” Magee said. “We worked to clean it up; we removed trash and debris, painted the front entrance, painted the entire building to freshen it up and make it look better.” Magee said the property owner had agreed to preserve the adobe parts of the building so that the public could “enjoy it” and learn about the significance of the property when the land was sold. The adobe Machado House was built in 1858 by Don Agustin Machado and became part of the historic Butterfield Stage route as a relay station for mail and passengers, according to the city’s website, www. lake-elsinore.org. The city’s hanging tree was also on the property, according to Magee. “It was a hugely significant piece of our history,” he said. “The prob-

lems we have had with the ‘urban campers’ accessing vacant properties we have worked to get trespassers out of there as quickly as we become aware of them, but I firmly believe that is what has caused this. We had people squatting in what is a very significant and historic place, and quite frankly, they don’t care. They have other priorities.” Magee said he wanted to remind residents and visitors that if they see something unusual they should immediately report it to the city or call the Lake Elsinore Police Department. “There is a way to help the homeless; we have a program for those who want to be helped,” he said, referencing the city’s Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing program. “But if you choose to do drugs, to commit crimes, we do not want you in our Valley. “I think it’s important to note that the residents of the Butterfield Mobile Home Park have been actively engaged and have been talking to us about the ‘urban camper’ issue over there,” he said, adding that the city has been continually monitoring the situation of trespassers and squatters. “Sadly, we didn’t get it right this time,” he said.

DOWNS from page A-1

After more than $9 million in major improvements to the Downs made by the new owners, Ken Smith and family, the plan to make “Galway Downs, A Legend Reborn” is rapidly coming into focus. Smith explained that for years LOCAL SPONSORS – since Galway Downs was first established in 1968 as a local equestrian center – it has been unstable 27350 Nicolas Road • Temecula, CA 92591 with different owners coming and (look for the purple flags) going.

trees of every kind are now planted throughout the Downs, providing shade and cooling comfort to both animals and people using the facility. Lilies have sprouted in the ponds; colorful flowers are bursting open, making the Village area a beautiful location for weddings and parties. Another piece of the Smiths’ plan to make “Galway Downs, A Legend Reborn” fell into place, Aug. 26, with the appearance of country star Clay Walker viewed by nearly 1,000 clapping and cheering spectators. Another country singing legend, LeeAnn Rimes, is set to arrive at Galway Downs Sunday, Sept. 17, as a part of the “Rhythm at the Downs” program promoted by Jon Dellaria of Coordinex Worldwide Entertainment. Now, Wedgewood Galway Downs hosts hundreds of outdoor weddings each year that may include use of the Carriage House, the rustic barn and the stunning meadows under the large oaks. Antique horse-drawn carriages are available for transportation around the Downs where bride, groom and party guests can view the sleek thoroughbred horses in training, sports teams practicing and other attractions. Meanwhile, with summer coming to a close, Galway Downs will continue to build its symbiotic equestrian and entertainment relationship with special events that may coincide with each other. Already scheduled on the equestrian side is the Sept. 16-17, Oct. 28-29 and Dec. 2-3 Hunter Jumper HJ series; the free admission ‘Head to Hoof: A Celebration of Horses’ Oct. 1 and the major Galway Downs International Three-Day event Nov. 2-5. Smith said the promoters are working on adding some type of music event to each of the equestrian events, particularly with the International Three-Day Event to open them up for more spectators. The lineup will be announced later. Entertainment events coming this fall include LeAnn Rimes, Sept. 27; Octoberfest with music, beer and wine offerings and “Christmas at the Ranch” in December. “We will have ice skating, Santa Claus, Christmas carolers, lights and maybe even a Ferris wheel to see all the Christmas lights,” Smith said. Does it stop there? Smith said “No!” Inside of his construction trailer that has been the headquarters for construction crews at the Downs for several years, Smith spends time with his contractors looking over a much broader plan and maps for the facility through 2020 and beyond. He is looking to spend another $6 million in improvements on the 240-acre ranch that he would not immediately reveal. But it is coming, he said.

Allen Parker dubbed Hemet’s interim city manager

Hemet City Clerk Sara McCombs hands new Interim City Manager Allen Parker his employment papers to sign at Hemet City Council Tony Ault photo chambers, Aug. 31.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Hemet City Council wasted no time in hiring an interim city manager to replace Alex Meyerhoff who resigned last month by hiring former San Bernardino City Manager Allen Parker at a special meeting last week. Parker, 76, served as San Bernardino’s city manager from February 2013 until Dec. 31, 2017, when he resigned under pressure. Now he is Hemet’s newest city manager, after signing the hiring agreement papers, Thursday, Aug. 31. He will serve as interim city manager for the next six months at the same salary as Meyerhoff. Parker takes Interim City Manager Scott Brown’s position, allowing him to return to his regular duties as the city’s police chief. Despite criticism from several audience members at the special council meeting who spoke during the public comment session, the full council voted approval of Parker’s hiring, praising him for his accomplishments as San Bernardino’s city manager by helping forward the city’s Chapter 9 bankruptcy recovery plan and guiding it through the December 2015 terrorist attack. Parker, in a short employment acceptance speech, told the council, “I am very pleased to be here. I see Hemet has an excellent future ahead. I come with open eyes. I look to work together with team and staff on these strategic plans I am looking forward to it, and I fully intend to give it my all.“ In an earlier interview, Parker said his emphasis will be working with the council to create a viable strategic

plan for the next two to five years. “I will be very interested in completing the strategic plan and hiring a financial assistant,” he said. Once the official hiring announcement was made by council, three Hemet residents during public comment criticized the council’s decision on hiring Parker and for not doing enough research to find the right candidate for the job. Resident Pat Gregory told the council she had researched Parker on the internet and questioned his qualifications for the job. Citing some financial issues Parker faced in the past, she said she believes the council’s decision to hire Parker “was just bad; it may be the most dangerous decision this council has ever made.” Another resident, John W., suggested the meeting called to appoint Parker was “just too quick.” He said more research should have been done to find just the right city manager, and “perhaps a younger person?” The special meeting was called only two days earlier. “I think you need to take the time to find just the proper person; get a man that has a lot more qualifications,” he said. Marie McDonald said she hoped the new city manager would have more communication with Hemet residents, so they would know “what you are doing and how you are doing it.” Councilman Russ Brown said he “respectfully chose to disagree” with the speakers. “I think the candidate is extremely well qualified and experienced,” Brown said. “We have heard nothing but favorable comments from all the references that were checked includ-

ing the secondary references.” He said he looked forward to working with Parker and the staff. “I too am excited about this choice and find it unfortunate that you guys (referencing the earlier speakers) haven’t had time to have done the research you would like to have done, but I will guarantee you will like it by his performance,” Councilwoman Karlee Meyer said. “You know I wouldn’t vote for someone who would do anything different from that.” “We did not take this decision lightly; we were looking for strong leadership skills, someone who would move this city forward in a very positive direction,” Councilwoman Bonnie Wright said. “We needed to get someone in place as soon as possible, because of the lack of direction that has taken place in the last month needed to be corrected.” She welcomed Parker and said she thought the staff “will be grateful with you in that position.” “Mr. Parker had the qualities that we, as a council, were looking for based on what we were hearing from the public and what we’re hearing from staff,” Mayor Pro Tem Michael Perciful said. He said he hoped Parker would get Hemet going into a positive direction. “I think Mr. Parker is exactly what this city needs at this time,” Hemet Mayor Linda Krupa said. “I think his leadership skills, his consensus building, his strength are exactly what this city needs. We need to go forward. We need to forget about the past at this point, although keep it in mind, we have a lot of things haunting us from our past that we need to deal with, but we need to deal with all of this in a straightforward upright manner.” In the news release citing their decision to hire Parker, the city council said, “Mr. Parker is well-qualified, having served as a city manager, village manager or tribal administrator for more than three decades. His experience includes successful downtown revitalization efforts in Seal Beach, Half Moon Bay and Oak Park, Illinois. He was an original founder of the California Redevelopment Association, serving on its board of directors for eight years. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration from Chapman University and a master’s degree in public administration from the University

of Kansas.” The release said Parker will serve as interim city manager for a period of six months with a three-month evaluation by the city council to determine whether to hire him as the city’s permanent city manager. “The council sees this as an opportunity to get to know his management style, productivity and interaction with the community. We are very fortunate to have an opportunity to evaluate each other to make sure it’s a good fit,” Krupa said. Parker, who lives in Beaumont with his wife Sara, has four adult children

and three grandchildren. His wife is a well-known artist and muralist and one of her murals hangs in the Bank of Hemet. Parker said when the notice went out that Hemet was looking to hire a new city manager he had already put his application in for the position of assistant city manager before Meyerhoff resigned. He was interviewed for the city manager position last week by each of the council members. In reference to his forced resignation at San Bernardino, he simply said, “The mayor didn’t like me.”

Zero Week is in the books and Week One of high school football saw some serious contenders bounce back, while others still can’t put it all together. In the Southwestern League the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks (1-1), who were rewarded with a jump up to Division 1 after making it to the Division 2 finals in 2016, put some incredible numbers on the board this past week as did Chaparral (1-1) and Great Oak (1-1), Murrieta Mesa (2-0) still commands the top of the standings after their second straight win and Temecula Valley (0-2) and Vista Murrieta (0-2) remain winless as they fight for attention in 2017. The South Valley League shows a surprise at the top right now in Santa Rosa as they remain undefeated, allowing zero points in their first two games. The Sunbelt League has three teams fighting for the top spot right now as Heritage, Elsinore and Lakeside all come into Week Two action with a 2-0 record and there is no surprise in the Mountain Pass League as San Jacinto, Hemet and Citrus Hill all remain undefeated at 2-0 as well. Here is the tale of the tape for Week One: Southwestern League (All games played at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted) Great Oak (1-1) – 19 King (0-1) – 0 Great Oak will travel this week to face Serrano (0-2) who lost to Silverado 43-14 last week in Week One.

Rancho Christian Eagles run over Whittier Christian 47-14 Lynn Guerin SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The defending State Champion Rancho Christian Eagles got back on track Friday, Sept. 1, with a resounding 47-14 win over Whittier Christian. On a night with temperatures in the low 90s, the only thing hotter than the air was Rancho’s quick strike running game and the dazzling moves of senior running back Jaden Schieberl. Schieberl scored five of the six Eagles touchdowns with runs of 80, 5, 62 and 29 yards. He also caught a 22 yard touchdown strike from senior quarterback Carter Treadway. Treadway scored Rancho’s final touchdown of the evening on a 10-yard option keeper. Rancho placekicker Emma Baker was flawless adding 6 extra points and a 32 yard field goal. Whittier Christian took the opening kickoff and marched right down the field on the strong right arm of quarterback Quinn Commons and his favorite receiver Noah Sanchez. They completed the 67 yard drive with a 9 yd TD toss on fourth down. The point after was blocked by junior corner back Joe Schumann, and Whittier had their only lead of the evening at 6-0. After the kickoff, on Rancho’s first play from scrimmage from their own 20, Jaden Schieberl took the handoff, darted through the line, broke to the sideline and raced 80

yards for the first of his five touchdown evening. P.a.t. was good by Emma Baker and Rancho had the early lead 7-6. Not wasting any time, Rancho Christian Head Coach Jim Kunau went to the trick bag early and called an onside kick. Colton Bulger made his first of many fine plays on both offense and defense as he recovered the kick at midfield. It didn’t take long with runs by Treadway and Schieberl and 2 receptions by Jo Jo Saatzer to take the ball to the Whittier 5 yard line, Schieberl ran it over from there. The point after was good and the Eagles had a 14-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter it was all Rancho as they scored 23 points on 3 touch downs and a safety. The Rancho defense led by Saatzer, Bulger, Ryan Esposito and Tyler Treadway pitched a shutout till late in the fourth quarter with a heavy rush, crisp tackling and lock down coverage on Whittier receivers. Numerous sacks, fumble recoveries, even a safety on an errant snap over the punters head, gave evidence that Rancho’ defense had improved greatly from their week one loss. All in all it was a solid team win as the Eagles now begin preparation for their home field battle against a very tough La Jolla Country Day team during Week Two action.

Jaden Schieberl scores 5 touchdowns to lead Rancho Christian to a 47-14 victory over Whittier Christian.

Murrieta Valley’s standout wide receiver, Marquis Spiker, a University of Washington verbal commit, tied an Inland record with 6 TD catches against Redlands Friday, Sept. 1. The Nighthawks 49-13 win over the Terriers was much needed after falling in Zero Week to the Santiago Sharks and with the arm of junior QB Hank Bachmeier behind him, Spiker led all receivers with 13 receptions for 194 yards,

not to mention his six TDs. Spiker’s end zone catches tied a record set by Arlington’s Ronnie Thomas (1991) and Nuview Bridge’s Dane Futrell (2011). Spiker scored on Bachmeier TD throws of 7, 5, 10, 9, 30 and 36 yards “Everything you saw from him was self-explanatory,” said Bachmeier, who was 25-of-31 for 338 yards on the night. “He’s a five-tool receiver and he shows you why he is going to be a threat as a husky next year. He was tremendous.”

U.S. health care ranks last in study comparing 11 countries

is the sixth time since 2004 that The Commonwealth Fund, which supports “Thinking about Health” columns, has done such a survey. One thing I haven’t heard much “Each time we have managed to in this latest health care debate is be last,” Eric Schneider, a senior that the U.S. has the best health vice president of The Commonsystem in the world. That’s differwealth Fund, said. ent from the last two times around. I’ve been writing about these When the nation debated the surveys since they began, but this Clinton health plan in 1994 and time the findings really grabbed the Affordable Care Act in 2009my attention, especially this point. 2010, a huge talking point for In the U.S., 44 percent of people politicians and special business with incomes below the median – interests opposed to reform was, about $55,700 in 2015 – reported “The American system is so good, that the cost of care prevented them why change it?” from getting medical treatment It’s different this year. Maybe they needed. Twenty-six percent of those with incomes above the median also said financial barriers prevent them from getting care. That means that the high deductibles and high coinsurance that most health plans now require makes it hard to pay for care. By contrast in the U.K., only 7 percent of people with low incomes and only 4 percent of those with higher incomes said they had trouble getting care. Yes, that’s England, the nation whose National Health Service has been much maligned by American politicians During this workshop Francesca Fisher will demonstrate key exercises that older adults over the years.

People in Britain seem to be doing OK despite all those queues for services Americans have heard about from the media. When it came to equity, access to care and health outcomes, the U.S. ranked last, which also challenges the common assumption we have the best care in the world. The U.S. has given a lot of attention to health care over the past decade, and the positive changes made by the Affordable Care Act have substantially decreased the Call 951-319-8243 number of uninsured and provided generous subsidies to help them Francesca Fisher, CSSTS buy coverage.

that’s because the public realizes America doesn’t have the best, and their own interactions with what American health care has become tell them a different story. The old talking point doesn’t compute any more. Of course, we’ve all had some good experiences. And we generally continue to believe that the money we spend on super expensive technology and medicines equates to good care even though evidence shows those costly interventions may not deliver as advertised and actually may be harmful. However, taken as a whole and

measured on several dimensions, including access to care, administrative efficiency, equity and health outcomes, the U.S. compares poorly relative to other industrialized countries. In The Commonwealth Fund’s latest study, “Mirror Mirror: International Comparison and Reflects Flaws and Opportunities for Better U.S. Health care” which compares the U.S. with 10 other countries – the United Kingdom, Australia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and France – the U.S. ranks dead last.

He explained that the lack of universal coverage is a barrier, and the cost of care is still too high for too many Americans, even if they have insurance. Families with incomes in the middle ranges of eligibility for ACA subsidies – incomes of around $60,000 or $70,000 – get small subsidies and face high deductibles and other cost-sharing, a trade-off they must make if they can afford only plans with low premiums. Our complicated system of getting medical bills paid and the endless negotiations between providers and insurers – in other words, the administrative hassle – is also a huge drawback. Fifty-four percent of U.S. primary care doctors said insurance restrictions made it hard to get needed treatment for their patients. Schneider said, “That’s a big problem.” The U.K., Australia and New Zealand shine on this dimension. Schneider said that if the U.S. changed the way it pays providers, used fee schedules and global budgets – an amount a country, group or hospital decides it will spend on care – the public would benefit. Just as important, Schneider told me, was the lack of U.S. investment in primary care compared to other countries where primary care is more widely and uniformly available. They dedicate a greater percentage of their medical workforce to that kind of care rather than specialty care. The U.S favors expensive specialists. So does the U.S. do well on anything? Although we ranked last on overall health outcomes, such as life expectancy at age 60, there were bright spots such as breast cancer survival and fewer hospital deaths for heart attacks and stroke. Those few achievements are simply not good enough. What’s your biggest beef with the health care system? Write to Trudy Lieberman at trudy.lieberman@ gmail.com.

Temecula Sunrise Rotary to host Rady Children’s Hospital director, VP of Philanthropy TEMECULA – Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club is inviting the public to learn more about innovative care for infants and children at a special

guest presentation part of its regularly-scheduled weekly club meeting, Tuesday, Sept. 12, 7:30-8:30 a.m., at Journey’s End Restaurant.

Kathleen Korn, Director, Business Development, Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego, will present an overview of the diverse, com-

Awareness and being prepared are keys to staying safe, especially for seniors Michele Ryneal PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER AT THE VILLAGE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Have you ever been approached walking from your car to a store entrance by a person asking for change or a few dollars? This occurrence happens more and more as the economics of an area decline. Although seniors are less likely to be the victim of a violent assault and data from the National Crime Prevention Council indicates that the incidents of personal violence has dropped to its lowest level in almost three decades, it’s important to be prepared. But, these lower rates of crime are evidence that if people take common-sense precautions and stay aware of their surroundings they are less likely to be a victim. In his book “Self-defense for Seniors,” Ken Boire focuses on providing senior citizen protection strategies to guard against ever growing violent acts against the

most vulnerable population. Boire said in his book that “Self-defense classes for senior citizens are rare in most communities. So, it is important that the older population have access to tools to give them protection from everyday potential dangers. Basic senior citizen selfdefense techniques can help minimize the damage from attempts of violence against seniors.” Howard Horton, director of security at The Village Retirement Community for the past 14 years, conducts monthly self-defense classes to The Village residents. Trained while serving as a military police officer in the Marine Corps, Horton has used his knowledge and expertise to formulate a workshop for the residents. “What happens on the street in real life is what I prepare my students for if they find themselves in a harmful situation,” Horton said. Horton instructs his students on the technique known as ‘Cane-Fu,’ how to use what is at their disposal, like a cane, to defend themselves.

Keep calm in the midst of crisis with these tips

In addition to teaching defense techniques with a cane, stick fighting moves and the ability to deflect a knife or gun are also taught. The residents find that knowing how to defend themselves, if needed, gives them a feeling of empowerment. Learning to be aware of their surroundings, displaying the right attitude to deter criminals and having a clear grasp of their own capabilities is invaluable. Here are some easy tips to remember. Carry your purse very close to you, and don’t dangle it from your arm. Never leave your purse in a shopping cart unattended. Don’t carry any more cash than is necessary. Many grocery stores now accept checks and automatic teller cards instead of cash. Don’t display large sums of cash in public. The best defense is to learn how not to put yourself in a situation where you’d have to defend yourself, but to be prepared for an emergency if necessary. Like Teddy Roosevelt’s old adage said, “Walk softly, but carry a big stick.” You’ll never look at a senior with a cane in the same way now.

SUBMITTED BY HANDLE WITH CARE

In this time of great change and uncertainty, crisis situations seem to be growing at a rapid speed. The emotional turmoil and negative behavior that is on the rise, spanning from verbal abuse to physical assault, is requiring schools and agencies to intervene more often for the safety and protection of the students, staff and clients. Schools and agencies have a responsibility to train their staff to safely and effectively deal with reasonably foreseeable situations. We at Handle With Care would like to offer some tips for responding to someone who is becoming out of control. There is a natural, but incorrect, tendency to respond to the person in conflict the same way as they are behaving. Many times we feel overwhelmed by the situation and experience emotions like anger and fear. When we exhibit these emotions, it increases rather than decreases the conflict and crisis around us. When dealing with an agitated person, child or student, we must control not only our verbal, but nonverbal communication as well. First, staff needs to be attuned to the signals of potential crisis behavior. Typically there is a change of behavior before physical aggression occurs, which includes verbal clues (what is being said, e.g., insults or threats), non-verbal clues (how something is being said, e.g., voice, volume, rate of speech and tone) and body language (e.g., body tenseness, leaning forward, pacing, finger pointing or hand clenching). Second, staff who are working with emotionally disturbed, aggressive or violent behavior need to be aware of and in control of their emotions and behaviors. It is their actions and words that can either reduce the potential for conflict or escalate it. Here are some key points to keep in mind when faced with an uncertain situation. Remain calm and in control. Only one person should speak at a time. Respect personal space. Be aware not only of what you say, but how you say it. Maintain natural eye contact and establish a direct line of communication. In instances of team intervention, one person, the person with the best relationship, should be designated as the “talker.” Set limits. The limits should be clear, consistent and enforceable. Of course, immediate action needs to be taken in dangerous or lifethreatening situations. Handle With Care is a state-ofthe-art crisis intervention training program designed for agencies, schools, hospitals, organizations and parents who care for children and people who have the potential of being aggressive, violent or out of control toward themselves and others. Visit www.handlewithcare. com or email joy@handlewithcare. com for additional information on managing high-stress situations and to register for the upcoming training in your area.

West Valley High School 2017 graduate Isabel Michel may be that rare scholar, athlete and social activist to earned that honor. Today she attends Stanford University, enjoying the benefit of a $100,000 scholarship from Ronald McDonald House Charities and Hispanic-American Commitment to Educational Resources charities group. The West Valley High School scholar-athlete is only one of four special Hispanic students chosen for the 2017 RMHC/HAC-

As she gave her speech as valedictorian, she encouraged her fellow graduates to make the very best of themselves no matter their race, color or background in the years to come and to work hard to pursue their future goals. Michel was ranked first among her graduating class of 394 students and earned a 4.49 GPA and a score of 1450 on the SAT. Over her four years at West Valley High School, her former teachers and school administrators at Hemet Unified School District said she showed “a tremendous level of dedication to the school, running on both the cross country and track and field teams, serving as president of the California Scholarship Federation and leading the school’s Academic Decathlon team for three years, including two Riverside County championships.

and served as secretary for the Associated Student Body during her senior year.” Michel was an Advancement Via Individual Determination volunteer while at school and out of school. She helped facilitate the Hemet Public Library’s Summer Reading Program for almost five years. Her selection by the scholarship team saw her as an ideal candidate to continue to increase the number of Hispanic students in colleges and universities nationwide. McDonalds’ Hispanic owners and operators have granted $4 million to Ronald McDonald House Charities to support the RMHC/HACER National Scholarships since 2008. The scholarship was founded in 1985 by McDonald’s owner, operator and former educator Richard Castro who was concerned about the Hispanic student dropout rates nationwide. Michel, along with the three other Hispanic students chosen for the scholarship this year, was selected

based on academic achievement, community involvement and financial need. The rigorous selection process includes a completed application, a personal questionnaire and interviews with distinguished panel of judges representing academia, business, media, Ronald McDonald House Charities and McDonald’s according to the group’s website, www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/ community/hacer.html. The other three RMHC/HACER scholarship winners this year are Eric Torres of London EL High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, attending Rice University; Ivan Vazquez of Capital Senior High School in Boise, Idaho, attending Harvard University and John Zapata Mantilla of Gordon Central High School in Calhoun, Georgia, attending University of Georgia. Some of the HACER scholarship students have parents or have themselves worked at McDonald’s, like Vazquez and his mother, while others have not.

Mt. San Jacinto College enrolls more than 15,000 for fall 2017 semester

At the growing Eastvale STEM Academy, high school students build knowledge in medical science and engineering within an innovative learning community guided by Kim Lu Lawe’s leadership and vision.

SAN JACINTO – New students Leah Dubow and Roger Williams were able to get all the classes they needed at Mt. San Jacinto College. They are two of the 15,640 students who headed to one of MSJC’s five locations Aug. 14 for the first day of the fall semester. MSJC connects more students to classes they need, using its autoenroll feature for those who are waitlisted. MSJC’s Institutional Research Department estimated that the student headcount will be close to 18,200 by the end of the term, which includes both credit and noncredit students. “My first day isn’t as stressful as I expected it to be,” Dubow said, who is attending the Temecula Education Complex. Dubow, 18, of Temecula plans to pursue an associate degree in psychology and was pleased to attend a campus so close to home. At the Menifee Valley Campus, Williams, 18, of Wildomar is a full-time graphics design student. He hopes he will be auto-enrolled in even more classes where he is on a waitlist. Classes in Temecula got off to a good start. English as a Second Language classes were filling up this morning as Director of Continuing Education-Noncredit Programs Amy Campbell helped students find their way. “I always wanted to attend college but never gathered the nerve to do so” Latisha Carbajal, 45, of Hemet said. Carbajal says she felt encouraged to attend with her daughter at the San Jacinto campus. Connie Hall’s psychology class was packed with students at MSJC’s San Gorgonio Pass Campus, and there is still time to register for classes.

Employers are in for a change as new Form I-9 rolls out TEMECULA – The U.S. government has developed and launched a new mandated Form I-9 for verifying the work eligibility of new employees. The newest version of the Form I-9 was published by U.S. Citi-

zenship and Immigration Services, July 17. “The new version brings very subtle changes to the form’s instructions and a list of acceptable documents, which were created with the theoretical goal of making

the form easier to navigate,” Davis Bae, managing partner of the Seattle office of law firm Fisher Phillips, said. “Besides changing the wording on the form in almost imperceptible ways, the new version renumbers all List C documents

except the Social Security card and streamlines the certification process for certain foreign nationals.” Although the changes to the Form I-9 are minimal, failure to comply by the Sept. 18 deadline can result in significant fines. Immi-

Business

gration and Customs Enforcement announced increases in fines for Form I-9 violations last year. For additional details, visit www. uscis.gov/i-9-central.

National Merchants Association makes the Inc. 500 list of the nation’s fastest-growing companies with record expansion TEMECULA – National Merchants Association, a global merchant advocacy group and leader in merchant services, was recently ranked No. 196 on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing, privatelyowned American companies. The honor is the second time in consecutive years that the company has made the prestigious list, climbing 270 spots from 2016’s ranking of 466. This ranking also places NMA at No. 11 in the financial services category. The Inc. 500 list has been recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in America for the past 36 years and has been published annually by Inc. Media. To make the list, a company must have grown a minimum of ten-fold over the past three years. During a stretch when the economy grew just 6.7 percent, simply making the list is a “result that most businesses can only dream of,” according to Eric Schurenberg, president and editor-in-chief of Inc. Media. The company’s 2,225 percent revenue growth over the past three years is a testament to NMA’s personal approach to payment processing. The company’s ability to serve merchants of all types, combined with industry leadership and advo-

cacy – as well as exceptional rates and customized services – helped propel the independent payment processor to a higher standing. “We’re extremely honored and thrilled to be included in the 2017 list. Our industry advocacy has been the blueprint for our achievement and exceptional growth. We offer things that no one else in this industry can – from innovative proprietary software to our unbeatable customer support. But the reason we do all this is always the same: to enhance the merchant experience and increase opportunities for our partners,” Heather Petersen, CEO and founder of National Merchants Association. NMA’s meteoric rise should come as no surprise to those in the payments industry. With the rapid growth the company has experienced, it plans on expanding its workforce throughout 2017 to continue to provide the same high level of personal support to its merchants and agents. “As we see consolidation happening throughout the payments industry, we’re proud to be an independent and privately-held processor,” Petersen said. “A recent third-party analysis put the value of NMA at nearly $400 million, and

we expect to top the $1 billion mark by 2018, thanks to the dedication

and expertise of our amazing team – and with that expansion, we will

be looking to add even more talent to our roster in the months to come.”

LUCIANO from page A-1 the rice in a long bed with the Thai curry drizzled on top. “I took the carrots and roasted it in the oven to create a flower shape. I thinly sliced them and rolled it up to a flower shape and roasted it again before setting it on the plate. It actually looked like a garden,” he said. Beyond that the peanuts were roasted, and some blended. The detail in presentation paid off. Luciano won the challenge and was able to sit out of the elimination challenge, thus advancing to the Top 6. The remaining six contestants battled it out in a pasta challenge. Luciano was given the advantage of choosing the shapes

of pasta each chef would have to create from scratch for the challenge. The next episode brought the remaining contestants to a winery for their team challenge. Luciano’s team was led by contestant Jason Wang, and they faced off in a challenge to cook for food critics, writers and chefs in a pop-up restaurant. The kitchen was set outside overlooking the winery, and the contestants were expected to recreate the items from the menu. Those entrees included a shrimp dish, a bourbon-poached lobster, a capellini dish and a fillet mignon dish. The red team won once again, so Luciano was exempt from the elimination round. His team’s food was consistent and at the right temperature, so the

food critics voted in their favor, he said. Other than the typical struggle for time management and assigning roles, Luciano’s team took on the challenge steadily. The blue team recreated a Chef Tosi’s chocolate souffle, and for the first time, no one was eliminated from the round. Six contestants moved onto the next challenge. “We had a beautiful kitchen set up right there next to Roman archways,” Luciano said. “The entire challenge was built up, and I realized that, when coming on set with a large crew setting up. It was reality check to cook for the people who did this for a living with five other contestants.” Watch the competition on MasterChef 8 p.m. Wednesdays on FOX.

‘Remembering 9/11’ Art Competition at Brandon Gallery includes piece of the Pentagon FALLBROOK – The community is invited to visit the Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook to view the 2nd annual exhibition and art competition, “Remembering 9/11.” A piece of the Pentagon is on display, which is owned by Linda Stewart,

Stephen Stewart’s widow, and she is sharing this memorial and his reflections with the community of Fallbrook. September 11, 2001 – Reflection by Stephen Stewart “Reality took that day off. Where

I was, there was much suffering, but there was also the glory of brave soldiers risking their lives for others. I’m proud to number several of those soldiers as my friends. One friend of mine entered the fire seven times and saved seven lives.

Another friend did the same thing. Interestingly, he swore me to secrecy and begged me to tell no one. He had quite a case of survivor’s guilt. One man I knew snuck out of his office that morning for a smoke. Everyone in his office was killed except him. I knew a pretty Air Force dental technician. She was decorated for her heroic care of the wounded. She also made sure that the press didn’t photograph our dead – a fine young Airman in every way. With the suffering, there was such valor.”

Visitors to the gallery, 105 North Main Avenue, can also vote for the people’s choice award in the art competition until Sept. 9, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. Entry fees from the competition will benefit the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1924. The winners will be announced at a reception held at the gallery Sunday, Sept. 10. The community is welcome.

LeAnn Rimes; evolving through music, love and life

Courtesy photo

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

When LeAnn Rimes broke into the music scene more than 20 years ago, she really had no idea how her life would evolve and change, or that she would one day become one of the most respected artists in music history. But her haunting voice and powerful lyrics, along with her positive outlook on life has helped her to become one of music’s most beloved artists. “I don’t know what it is. I feel like honestly, the more I grow as an artist and as a human being, I know how to connect with people when I go and perform,” the 35-year-old singer songwriter said when asked about her staying power. Rimes, who took the world by storm at the young age of 13, with her 1996 album “Blue,” said she

has always been connected to her emotions and able to pull those emotions through her music. “When I am in that studio singing, it is just an emotion that comes through me and out of me. I have always been able to connect that way, since I was a kid, even when I didn’t know what the songs were about.” Rimes, who has won two Grammy Awards; 12 Billboard Music Awards; two World Music Awards; three Academy of Country Music Awards; one Country Music Association Award and one Dove Award, believes that those things to which her songs speak, are important to people, which is a big reason for her success. “We all have a different perception of life from our experiences,” she explained. “It’s amazing what music can do and how it connects people and how it connects people to moments in their life.” As Rimes’ career progressed throughout the years, she began to invest more of herself into each of her albums. Now, such as with her most recent album “Remnants,” she chooses what she will sing about and what she won’t, giving her complete control over the message she shares in each of her songs. “I think some songs are really relevant at this moment and time,” she said. “I think that is something as an artist that you get to create what you put out in the world, especially, at this time in my life.”

Rimes said her goal is to always produce a product that will help people connect with her and the music. “I think there is a soulfulness about it,” she said, adding that she thinks of herself not just as a singer, but as a storyteller. “I think I’m definitely someone that is a communicator of sorts, being able to tell stories. I have been given this gift that is my voice and I think I am learning that it’s way more than that.” Rimes said that she looks at a song from all angles and that it is all part of a collective story, something that helps to keep writing and performing fun for her. “It also brings out a different performance depending on what I am relating to,” she said. “The more I follow my heart, the more it stays that way.” While she had some ideas as to what she wanted to say on her latest album, “Remnants,” Rimes knew she wanted to experiment with “different grooves” that she loves, like drums. “I went in and just allowed it to happen and what came out was just amazing and at the end you are just stepping back and going ‘Woah! That just happened! We just created that,’ and you know there is such love on the record,” she said. Rimes said if there is one thing she wants to do, it’s push the boundaries for herself. “I know that music is always

Community Outreach Ministry founders to hold fundraiser luncheon WILDOMAR – Dr. Mona and Bob Davies, co-founders of the nonprofit group Community Outreach Ministry, have recently published their first book “Children’s Liberation from Incarceration.” Their book combines qualitative research and personal narratives of at-risk youth and focuses on the transformative power of the gospel.

Riverside County 1st District Supervisor Kevin Jeffries will attend the event. The nonprofit’s motto of “Giving At-Risk Kids a Second Chance to be Winners and Champions” holds true, as the function proceeds benefit camp and Christmas schol-

arships for children of incarcerated parents. Community Outreach Ministry aims to break the cycle of crime an incarceration in the lives of children of prisoners and at-risk youth through empowerment, counseling and mentoring.

going to be a part of my life so how can I, as an evolving being, just push my limits because I feel like I can do pretty much anything with my voice and I want to be able to experiment that way,” she explained. “A lot of times in our society everybody wants to put somebody in a box and you know, they know what they are getting when the album comes out. It goes far beyond records, but I think that’s always been what’s

so great about my music and who I am as a person willing to take the risks, creating something different every time. “I’m creating more than ever and I’m enjoying it more than ever and I’m not done yet.” LeAnn Rimes will be performing at Galway Downs as part of its ongoing “Country at the Downs” concert series, Sunday, Sept. 17.

Dining in the Valley Rosie’s Kitchen: Is Mexico safe to travel?

Rosie O’Connor

Chef Rosie O’Conner SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Despite the U.S. State Department’s travel warnings taking over the media, I feel strongly that some parts of Mexico such as Valle Guadalupe and Tijuana have proven to be safe in my recent travels. I believe that if you are going to go to Mexico, get drunk and act stupid, you will probably manage to find trouble. I hadn’t visited Baja for about seven years since I heard that a friend of a friend’s distant cousin’s girlfriend got hijacked at gunpoint. I naturally felt that it could have been me because I have no filter. I would be the first one to say the wrong thing and get kidnapped. No ransom, just for the fun of it. Valle de Guadalupe is only a couple of hours south of San Diego and has been named by The New York Times as an “unexpected wine sanctuary” and Thrillist called it “the world’s hottest up-and-coming

wine region” and the Los Angeles Times called it “the next Napa.” I invited our photographer Carl Kravatz, www.carlkravatz.com, mixologist Kristofer Kuhns, www. provechogrill.com, and my best friend Margarita Lynn to take a “daycation.” Claudia Sandoval, the MasterChef season 6 winner, recently collaborated with Fernando Gaxiola of www.bajawinefood.com to provide round-trip transportation and a tour to the Valle. Our host Gaxiola is a gifted sommelier and a well-connected, truly dedicated professional. He has an impeccable reputation in both the Baja and San Diego areas. The moment we crossed the border and Sandoval popped open

a bottle of Champagne, I knew we were in for an adventure. Welcome to Mexico. You can sip and ride, rock out to good tunes and listen to Gaxiola and Sandoval as they point other places for us to visit in the future. Our first stop was in Zona Urbana Rio in Tijuana at a taqueria called Tacos Fitos, but people know it as Tacos “El Paisa.” I don’t know; it’s Mexico. There are two names for every taco stand. We ordered the “Fernando” special, which is a tortilla dipped in a chili broth and filled with birria or goat meat and tripa or tripe. Maybe it was the buzz from our mimosa, but it was fingerlicking good. It was crispy, slightly salty and greasy. We all loved it,

Former Pechanga chef jumps on board to lead new restaurant and team member dining room included with expansion TEMECULA – Pechanga Resort & Casino, voted by readers of USA Today in 2015 as the No. 1 casino in the U.S., has just named Jose Mendoza as chef of the new restaurant the Lobby Bar and of Team Dining Room No. 3. With the resort and casino’s $285 million expansion underway, hiring managers are bringing 350 new food and beverage team members on board, causing a shift in management and the need for additional chefs. Both the Lobby Bar and Team Dining Room No. 3 are brand-new additions to the resort and casino. There will also be a new Pool Bar and Grille. With these two new locations, with the exception of the team member dining room, Pechanga will offer guests 13 dining options beginning in December. Mendoza has more than 10 years of professional cooking and leadership experience in restaurants, hotels and resorts. He has held positions at several upscale casino and resorts and was a Pechanga team member back in 2012, where he served as a line cook at the former Seafood Grotto, which is now standing as Umi Sushi & Oyster Bar. He was quickly promoted as the sous chef; however, he left to pursue other leadership roles. Now finding his way back to Pechanga,

Mendoza will create an entirely new menu and lead a brand-new team to operate the new Lobby Bar. Additionally, he’ll oversee the menu and team members for the third team member dining room. Pechanga is currently under a $285 million resort expansion set to open at the end of the year. It includes the addition of 568 rooms and suites, 70,000 additional square feet of indoor event Chef Jose Mendoza has the honor of opening the space, a luxury, new Lobby Bar restaurant at Pechanga, creating two-story spa and new menus and leading a new team of chefs. salon, a 4.5-acre He was formerly a sous chef at the now-closed resort pool com- Seafood Grotto at Pechanga and will also be plex and two new overseeing the new team member dining room. restaurants.

and I have been back a few times since my trip. Our next stop was Lechuza Vineyard, www.vinoslechuza.com. We had the pleasure of meeting with owner Kris Shute, winemaker, who elegantly explained the process of winemaking, her parents’ journey and beautiful stories about harvesting the grapes while carrying her child in her arms. She answered all our questions, was poetic at its best and invited us in for artisan cheese and grapes from the valley. We were pleased to find out that their wine is now served at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry in Yountville, California near Napa. Our next stop was Torres Alegres, www.vinicolatorresalegreyfamilia. com, where we had the pleasure of meeting charismatic, accomplished winemaker Leo Torres who shared the story of his father Dr. Victor Torres-Alegre’s passion and journey in introducing the gravity filtration system that changed the course of winemaking. Soon after, we dined at Javier Plascencia’s Finca Altozano, known for farm-to-table cuisine, local

wines and artisan beers. We had his “Pulpo de Pacifico ala brasas” which was a magically delicious plate of grilled octopus, soy, citrus, ginger, cilantro and peanuts, homemade chorizo made of 80 percent pork and 20 percent beef and served with tomato toast, local oysters and signature cocktails. We were enchanted, delighted and impressed by our newfound Baja destination. We’ve been back many times since our first trip and brought friends for “daycations.” I share all my travels on my blog: www.chefrosie.com. You can even book a “daycation” and have me as your personal tour guide. If you decide to visit Valle de Guadalupe on your own, here are a few tips: tourist and locals dress casually, wear vacation attire but don’t be surprised to see some women sporting high heels. Try to book a place to stay the night after wine tastings. They have beautiful hotels overlooking the vineyards. Also, you are only allowed two bottles of wine per person upon your return to the U.S., so choose wisely. And don’t forget your passport.

Want healthier children? Get a pet

Pets can contribute to cognitive, physical and emotional wellness in children. Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – If youngsters have been eyeing fuzzy kittens or boisterous puppies at nearby shelters or pet stores, parents may want to give in to those cries for a family pet. Pets are added respon-

sibilities, but the health benefits associated with pet ownership may be well worth the investment of time and effort. Caring for a pet is sometimes viewed as a childhood rite of pas-

sage, but there’s much more to the experience than just learning responsibility. Experts say a child’s emotional, cognitive, physical and social development can be enhanced through interaction with a family pet. Studies continue, but the effects of family pets on children was heavily researched by developmental psychologist Gail F. Melson in 2003. Melson looked at literature on child-animal relationships and found that children who had pets were better able to understand biology and children who could turn to pets for unconditional emotional support were less anxious and withdrawn than their peers without the relationship of family pets. Data from a small study conducted by researchers at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University reported that adolescents who had animal experience were more likely to see themselves as impor-

tant contributors to communities and more likely to take on leadership roles. Pets also can help children develop into well-rounded individuals. Playing with a pet requires children to engage in physical activity and can help stimulate motor skills. An English study conducted in 2010 and published in the American Journal of Public Health found that children from dog-owning families spent more time in light or moderate to vigorous physical activity and recorded higher levels of activity counts per minute than children whose families did not own a dog. Pets may help with allergies and respiratory ailments as well. A 2012 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics discovered that children who have early contact with cats and dogs have fewer respiratory infections and ear infections and need shorter courses of antibiotics than children who have

not had contact with pets. A study from Dr. Dennis Ownby, a pediatrician and head of the allergy and immunology department of the Medical College of Georgia, found that having multiple pets decreases a child’s risk of developing certain allergies. He found that the children who were exposed to two or more dogs or cats as babies were less than half as likely to develop common allergies as children who had no pets in the home. Pets also may foster social interactions, which can benefit children who are shy. Inviting others over to meet pets can help children make friends and find others with similar interests. Children may also confide in pets and develop their self-esteem. Studies have indicated that the type of pet a family has, whether it’s horses, dogs, snakes, etc., does not matter, as all companion animals have the potential to benefit children.

Faith

Praise him anyway Zachary Elliot SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” Habakkuk 3:17-18 Life doesn’t always go as planned, does it? Have you ever been in a situation where you plan and plan, work and work and only hit wall after wall? Been there, done that, and I’ll probably do it again sometime

down the road. How do you deal with these times that don’t seem to go according to plan? You have to make a decision that when life doesn’t go your way you’re going to praise God anyway. Habakkuk 3:17-18 said, “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” So what do you do when there’s no food in the fridge, you didn’t get that raise and the bills keep piling

up? You praise God anyway. Why? Because praising God has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with who he is. Do you want to know why you can’t see your way out of your problem? It’s because you keep looking at your problem and not the one who can solve your problem. It’s only when we look to God and praise him anyway that we start to find joy and rejoicing even in our troubles. It’s when we realize how powerless we are and how powerful He is that our life problems become manageable. So make the life transforming

decision that when life doesn’t go your way you’re going to praise him anyway. Only then will you begin to experience true joy.

It can be easy to feel disconnected from the influence of good in the midst of a contentious world. It is always helpful to know how

touch with our own spirituality. We realize that we can be aware of the atmosphere of God and good, wherever we are it resolves all kinds of difficulties. I am giving a speech, “Experiencing Heaven Now,” 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Murrieta Public Library, 8 Town Square, near the corner of Kalmia Street and Adams Avenue in Murrieta. I will describe the perspective that comes from the example of Christ Jesus in the Bible and in Mary Baker Eddy’s book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” which explains the teaching and healing done by Jesus

in terms people can understand and repeat today. I will discuss how the kingdom of heaven permeates and transforms our entire being to bring healing and how to recognize the presence of this kingdom by understanding the characteristics of God, divine love, truth and life. She will also share examples of healing in her own and others’ lives, including an instantaneous healing of a longtime addiction to alcohol. Mary Bothwell has worked for many years in engineering and management positions related to remote sensing and robotic explora-

tion of space at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As exhilarating and rewarding as this work was to her, she treasured the idea of being able to help others find healing through prayer. Ultimately, she left her position in space exploration to become a full-time Christian Science practitioner. Bothwell is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship and travels frequently from her home in Pasadena, California, to speak to audiences about Christian Science healing.

Congregation votes to become a sanctuary church MENIFEE – The members of Menifee United Church of Christ voted after its worship service, Aug. 27, to become a sanctuary church. While the church does not have the facility to house undocumented immigrants, it will advocate for them. “Our congregation voted to be a beacon of light in the sometimes

dark debate over immigration,” the Rev. Bill Freeman said. “We urge Congress and the president to support immigration reform so that our 11 million brothers and sisters from Mexico and other countries have a realistic path to citizenship.” Freeman recently asked the Menifee City Council to designate Menifee a sanctuary city. That

request is not expected to be approved. About 10 people protested outside of Menifee United Church of Christ in opposition to Menifee becoming a sanctuary city and to the church becoming a sanctuary church. Menifee United Church of Christ conducts worship services 11 a.m. Sundays at 26701 McCall Blvd. in Menifee.

ownsizing regarding living space is a trend that has long been associated with empty nesters and senior citizens. As children move out and start families of their own, many homeowners decide to downsize to less expensive, more manageable properties. But downsizing is not just for seniors anymore. According to a 2017 survey from

the popular real estate website Trulia, among homeowners currently living in homes larger than 2,000 square feet, more would choose a smaller home than a larger one if they decided to move this year (60.6 percent to 39.4 percent). Homeowners who decided to downsize or those who purchased a small property to begin with may need a few pointers to make the most of their limited space.

Storage beds can help homeowners living in small homes make the most of their limited space.

Get rid of some of that clutter with a yard sale, or better yet, donate it to a worthy cause.

Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing.

Reconsider your furniture.

Discard some items.

Put paint to work.

Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/ or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

Homeowners who are downsizing from large homes may need to part with some of their furniture to make their transition to smaller homes go more smoothly. For example, homeowners may need to get by with just one bedroom nightstand and may even need to replace their existing nightstands with something more compact. Discarding living room end tables and downsizing to a smaller coffee table also can help homeowners make smaller common areas more welcoming and less cluttered.

Paint is another way to make the most of a limited space. Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing. The result is a room that feels calm and open, even if there is less space to move around than homeowners might have grown accustomed to in their larger homes.

Keep surfaces free of clutter.

Surfaces such as dining tables, coffee tables and kitchen counters tend to accumulate clutter. While such clutter might not feel overwhelming in a large home, in small spaces crowded surfaces can make it feel as though the walls are closing in. Make an effort to keep

surfaces free of clutter, resolving to discard or put items away each night before going to bed. Many people wish they could live in homes without as much square footage as their existing homes. For those who have downsized, there are many ways to make the most of less living space.

Supervisors approve Mitigated Negative Declaration, rezone, plan amendment and map for Richland Communities development Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has approved an environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration, a zoning reclassification, a general plan amendment, a specific plan amendment and a tentative tract map for 20.3 acres in the Dutch Village area of Rancho California. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote, July 25, authorizes the subdivision of the land owned by Richland Communities into 34 single-family lots, one private park and one detention and water quality basin lot.

The property is south of Benton Road, east of Beech Street, west of Pourroy Road and north of Auld Road. The zoning had been a combination of residential agriculture 1-acre minimum and residential agriculture 5-acre minimum, and the property was rezoned to one-family dwellings. The general plan amendment and specific plan amendment changed the land use designation from community development: very low density residential and rural: rural residential to community development: low density. The property is within the Dutch Village Specific Plan area. When the Dutch Village Specific Plan was

adopted by the county supervisors in June 1973, the intent was to provide housing and support facilities to develop a tourist commercial center similar to Solvang in Santa Barbara County which emphasizes that area’s Danish heritage. In 1994, the county supervisors adopted the Quinta Do Lago Specific Plan for 470.1 acres of the Dutch Village Specific Plan area, and the Dutch Village Specific Plan no longer retains a Dutch theme but instead utilizes mixed uses similar to those found in Temecula and Murrieta. The Richland Communities land is also within the State Route 79 Policy Area.

Rose Care FUNdamentals for September 2017 is all about watering Frank Brines, American Rose Society Master Consulting Rosarian SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As I look back over my previous articles, I noticed that since 2013 we have what I suggest is a new normal of high temperatures for August-September. I checked the weather projections and learned that temperatures for the next 7-10 days for Southern California are for over 100 degrees. If you are participating in my prescribed practice of allowing a summer rest for your roses, you still have several weeks to take it easy before a mid-season pruning. As a wise man once said, “Predicting things is difficult, especially in the future,” but one can only assume it will look a little like the past, especially with the weather. So I’ll give it a try. If a mid-season pruning is done after the second or third week of September, you can possibly have two more bloom cycles this year. If you would like roses for a special occasion, count back 6 to 7 weeks from that date; the date you land on will be when you need to have your pruning accomplished. Remember, a mid-season pruning is light, removing the many branching – that is, any point where many stems of blooms came from near one location on a cane – back to the main cane to an outward facing bud found at the base of a leaf where it joins the cane. Cutting back to the first five-leafed leaf will result in quicker repeat of blooming. During periods of sustained high temperatures it is necessary to ensure plants receive adequate water to stay hydrated. It takes only a few days in these temperatures without sufficient water for a bush to succumb. Assess conditions every morning. Look for wilted or dry crisping foliage. Sometimes if you discover it soon enough dousing with plenty of water in addition to plenty of water to the ground may save the plant. If you wait to inspect until the afternoon or evening, it may be too late or you might not get a good assessment of the plant’s condition. After a hot day, most plants can appear wilted while still

receiving sufficient hydration. Also inspect your irrigation system to make sure it is delivering enough water, isn’t clogged and isn’t over watering – all problems that come with age in drip irrigation systems. If an emitter is delivering much more or much less water than others on the line, it can change the system pressure and affect the other emitters. The simple solution is to replace it. Plants in pots will require more frequent watering than those in the ground. As the soil dries, it pulls away from the sides of the pots, allowing water to run through the soil without penetrating the soil. Sun shining on the pot, whether black plastic or clay, will steam the roots of the plant which also requires more water to maintain a cooler temperature of the soil. Despite this issue, plastic is still preferred over clay as clay loses moisture through the porous nature of it. If possible, double potting would help maintain better control. This practice would at least have a curtain of cooling air between the pots, and an insulation of some type would be more efficient. One more thing, the longer the soil is in a pot, the less porous space is available in the root zone – so repot every two years or so. This time of year with hot temps also attracts spider mites. This topic was covered in a previous care column which you can find on the www.TemeculaValleyRoseSociety. org newsletter; look for “Care for September 2013.” If you see signs of yellowing foliage you may have an infestation. Check the underside of the lower leaves for grainy feeling substance or tap onto a paper to see these very small critters. The easiest way to treat is to use fairly strong spray of water from below to give the plant a shower and rinse them to the ground. If you see fine webbing, you may need a stronger method. I’ve also noticed that another problem as result of the weather has appeared this year. The high temps and humidity have increased instances of Black Spot, indicated by yellow leaves with usually

round shaped black spots. With the humidity comes dewy nights which then tends to incubate powdery mildew. Now would be another good time to order composted mulch. Here is a formula you can use to determine the quantity you will need. An area 10 feet by 50 feet needs 4-5 cubic yards to cover the garden 3-4 inches deep, which I recommend. This mulch is the best product you can apply to protect your roses roots from heat and cold. A valuable bimonthly magazine which covers rose topics is the “American Rose” published by the American Rose Society. Go to www.ARS.org for more information on obtaining it. When you have a moment to spare or feel the need to get away or when the day cools down, take your favorite beverage, a picnic basket and visit our local one-of-akind Rose Haven Heritage Garden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, in Temecula at the cross street, Cabrillo Avenue. Also, visit our website, www.TemeculaValleyRoseSociety. org. Spread the joy of roses.

Everyone loves a HERO: is the HERO Program a hero or villain? Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

along with many other ‘approved’ projects. HERO is part of a much larger government program – the ‘Property Assessed Clean Energy’ (PACE) program which also began 2011 and now has spread to 31 different states. The popularity of the program revolves around the fact that homeowners need zero cash out of pocket to participate and take advantage of what could be an extremely expensive improvement.

The HERO Program has been popular throughout southwest Riverside County since its inception in late 2011 for the financing of energy saving improvements that can be paid for within a homeowner’s property tax payment. The Home Energy Retrofit Opportunity, or HERO, was created by the Western Riverside County Council of Governments (WRCOG), who oversee a coordinated planning and development of Western Riverside County. Like many government programs, we must believe it’s beginning was one motivated to help homeowners take advantage of the evolving technologies and retrofit their home with energy saving improvements that may otherwise have been unreachable for many homeowners as the economy was just starting to climb from the depths of despair. By taking advantage of the program, the conventional wisdom is that the home would increase in value with new energy efficient improvements while reducing monthly energy costs, which have continued to skyrocket. Some of the most popular improvements that have been financed includes the installation of solar panels, retrofitting old windows and doors, replacing HVAC systems and even removing grass and replacing it with an artificial turf,

Who qualifies One of the qualities of the HERO Program is that it is not based on the homeowner’s credit or even debt to income ratio. Rather the home itself must qualify by having equity and not being behind on any property tax payments. There are a few other hoops, but minor in comparison to qualifying for a second position mortgage or line-of-credit, the traditional home improvement financing, to pay for the retrofit energy efficient upgrades. Payback Yes, it has to be paid back, but only in two semiannual tax payments because the tab is put on the homeowner’s property tax bill. The improvement can be financed for either 5, 10, 15 or 20 years that include interest and other miscellaneous administrative charges that do not add any equity to the home. The ‘pitch’ is that the current homeowner will only have to pay for their use of the improvement and the next buyer will continue to pay, as part of their property taxes,

until the debt is paid in full. It all sounds so wonderful, in theory, but in reality, there are not many lenders who will allow such an arrangement, regardless of what government program is behind it. What the homeowner needs to know The debt is recorded as a lien against the property as a tax lien. The lien is in first Position which means if there is any sort of default, HERO will get their money first. The Federal Housing Administration and many other lenders will not guarantee or purchase a loan for a home with a HERO tax lien – this mean that if the home is sold and the new buyer wants to purchase with an Federal Housing Administration loan then the lien MUST be paid off. What are the issues? Homeowners who proceed with a HERO program often find themselves with any number of issues to deal with including any or all of the following: Impound account – Unless the homeowners loan service is notified right away they stand to have a deficit in their impound account and may end up paying additional penalties and interest in order to get things squared away. If the bill does not show up on the tax bill until the second bill, this can be a huge issue trying to play catch up – because it starts as soon as the energy efficient improvement is installed. Unlicensed lenders – Typically the process from estimate to loan approval takes place in less than an hour in the homeowner’s home. The contractors’ salesperson is not a licensed loan professional (they don’t have to be for this program) and typically offers zero advice beyond their company’s sales pitch on how wonderful the HERO program is. Either way, they are not responsible for the loan as a licensed professional with a fiduciary duty would be. Contractors are businesses – Let’s face it, contractors are in business like anyone else for a profit. Nothing wrong with that but you need to make 100 percent certain that you’re getting the best deal for you. always get multiple (three is always a minimum) bids for every job. Negotiate a cash price before you talk about financing. It costs

the contractor zero to accept HERO money so why would you pay more based on how your energy home improvements are paid for? Remember, this is your equity they are spending and many a contractor will rough figure out how much equity you have before they even arrive and bid a job as close to that number as they can. So, a solar system worth $20,000 may end up costing a homeowner twice that if they have the available equity. Then guess what value the system will actually add to the value of the home when the homeowner goes to either refinance or sell the home. Please be careful. The HERO Program has many wonderful attributes that can certainly help most homeowners reduce their electricity and other utility bills. There is always a cost to benefit analysis that must be made when considering any sort of home improvement, regardless of how it is being financed and certainly HERO is no different.

HERO certainly does offer a cost efficient way of improving a home while reducing energy and resource consumption. You just have to do your own due diligence and investigate the program so you understand it and not rely on the contractor’s interpretation and for goodness sake find a reputable contractor based on their local experience and not the slick ads that make it to your mail box or come knocking on your front door.

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home now FALLBROOK – Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight. What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank. 1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but the average homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. Simply moving a curio cabinet from one corner to another may also make a difference. 2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming. 3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do,

Throw pillows are accessories that can easily and inexpensively change the look of a space. Courtesy photo

think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming. 4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor. 5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fill may benefit from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant color and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants. A home with plants also feels cozier. 6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change

a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional photography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes. 7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home. When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

Why hiring a landscaper may be right for you

Professional landscapers can be just what homeowners need to turn their properties into appealing oases no buyer can resist.

FALLBROOK – Most homeowners want their properties to appear as appealing as possible. While many homeowners want to be proud of their properties and come home to a welcoming home each night, the benefits to maintaining landscaping go beyond the notion that well-cared for lawns make for more comforting retreats. Because numerous variables, including landscaping, influence property values, it’s difficult to assess just how much the property values of homes with impressive landscapes are influenced by those very landscapes. Indeed, studies have produced varying results regarding the effect of well-landscaped homes on property values. But what many studies have shown and what many realtors indicate is that impressive landscaping adds a significant amount to property values, with estimates suggesting landscaping increases home values by anywhere from 5 to 20 percent. Such estimates are good news for homeowners, and they also highlight the stakes involved when making landscaping decisions. Homeowners with green thumbs may embrace the challenge of revitalizing their lawns and gardens, but many, especially those pressed for time, can benefit greatly from working with professional landscapers.

Why hire a professional landscaper? Maintaining a property requires more than just mowing the lawn every couple of weeks. Even homeowners committed to making their properties as pristine as possible can run into problems when adverse weather conditions pose a threat to lawns and gardens. The following are just a handful of reasons why homeowners may find working with landscaping professionals is the best thing for their properties and their bank accounts. Professionals understand the local climate. Experienced professional landscapers will understand the local climate and the challenges it presents to your lawn. Experience can prove invaluable as lawns battle adverse conditions that threaten its survival. While homeowners going it alone may struggle through a trial and error period as they try to address problems threatening their lawns, experienced professionals are more likely to identify the problem immediately, providing a ready solution that can prevent potentially costly repairs down the road. Professionals can provide inspiration. In addition to maintaining properties, many landscaping professionals have vast experience improving properties through landscape design. Professional landscapers may have a host of ideas for

your property that you would never think of. Homeowners with little to no lawn and garden experience may not realize all the things they can do with their properties, and those who go it alone may end up with unappealing landscapes that do not attract buyers’ attention when the home hits the market. Professionals typically have a wealth of ideas and, perhaps more importantly, they understand which ideas will and won’t work on a given property. Professionals can remove some of the stress of managing landscaping projects. Homeowners know that home improvement projects, whether they are addressing home interiors or exteriors, can be stressful. Professional landscapers typically have a network of professionals, including contractors, who they have worked with in the past. Such connections can ensure more complex projects that require both landscapers and construction contractors go as smoothly as possible. In addition, homeowners who receive contractor recommendations from their experienced landscapers tend to rest easier knowing the people working on their properties have already developed a rapport and established a successful track record working together. Professional landscapers can be just what homeowners need to turn their properties into appealing oases no buyer can resist.

Changes in classification under Prop 57 puts public safety at risk Editor’s note; the following is a letter sent to the California Department of Corrections and rehabilitation from Temecula resident Rick Reiss. In this letter, Reiss addresses Prop 57 and the change in classified crimes from violent to non-violent, including Human trafficking of minor for labor, battery with serious bodily harm and exploding a bomb with intent to harm. Valley News strongly opposes Prop 57 and these changes in classification. To Whom it May Concern; I am contacting you at the Cali-

fornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to voice my stringent opposition to, and concern regarding the implementation of California’s Proposition 57. My concern and opposition stem from the fact that too many crimes that are, in reality, violent by their nature are classified by Prop 57 as “non-violent”” for political reasons. Currently under California State Law, these crimes are considered “non-violent:” Human Trafficking of minor for labor Battery with serious bodily harm

Assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer Solicitation to commit murder First Degree burglary Arson causing physical harm Exploding a bomb with intent to harm As members of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, you are sworn professional law enforcement officers with a full understanding of criminals, criminal behavior and the motivations of criminals. It is foolhardy to believe that people who commit the types of crimes

listed above are non-violent. These crimes are mala in se, i.e., crimes that are inherently bad by their nature. The early release of convicted criminals of these sorts of crimes (as listed above) would in fact jeopardize the safety of the California public you are dutifully sworn to protect. I write this to you as someone who grew up in a police family (both parents retired LAPD detectives), as a Navy Veteran, as a graduate with a BS degree in criminal justice administration from San Diego State University, as a retiree

from the Federal Bureau of Prisons with 25-plus years of federal law enforcement service, and as a family man with a wife and two kids. Please ... do not allow for the early release of convicted state prisoners with criminal convictions for the crimes as previously mentioned. The safety of our communities and neighborhoods deserve better. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully Submitted, Robert Eric Reiss (“Rick”) Temecula, California

We should also remember that native peoples have made great sacrifices to the country through military service. These service members include the Code Talkers of both World Wars, along with thousands who continue to serve today. On a per-capita basis, Native Americans have served in the nation’s military in greater numbers

than any other ethnic group. California has over 100 federally recognized Indian tribes. Self-government is essential for these tribal communities to continue to protect their unique cultures and identities, which enrich the economic, cultural and social fabric of the state and nation.

Native American Day Assemblymember Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

I am pleased to be a Capitol sponsor of the upcoming 50th Native American Day celebration scheduled for Sept. 22, on the south steps of the state Capitol. This year’s event will celebrate tribal sovereignty to recognize the authority of indigenous tribes to govern themselves within U.S. borders. San Diego County encompasses

18 reservations, more than any other county in the nation. Eight of those reservations, including five gaming tribes, lie within the 75th Assembly District. As a member of the Assembly Governmental Organization Committee with jurisdiction over Indian gaming, I am keenly aware of gaming’s importance to tribal economies and the region as a whole. Tribal economies create thousands of jobs, generate millions of dollars in charitable donations, finance basic infrastructure including

Blotter Transient found dead in Hemet parking lot identified HEMET – The coroner’s office, Sunday, Sept. 3, released the name of a 54-year-old transient who was found dead in a commercial parking lot in Hemet. Officers found David Vannewkirk at about 7:45 p.m. Friday at 707 South Sanderson Avenue while responding to a trespassing

call, Hemet police said. Vannewkirk was pronounced dead at the scene about 20 minutes later, according to a coroner’s report. The cause of his death was unclear, though foul play was not suspected, police said.

HEMET - A man accused of drunken driving and causing a fatal crash that killed a 51-year-old man was arrested, Hemet police said yesterday. The crash happened at 7 p.m. Friday when a westbound Chevrolet Silverado driving at least 100 mph on Domenigoni Parkway approached a red light at Sanderson Avenue and rear-ended a Toyota Prius stopped at the light, Lt. Dan Eric Dickson said. Jose Manahan of Menifee, the driver of the Prius, was hospitalized but died from his injuries about an hour later, according to a coroner’s report. The Silverado’s driver, Augustin Jimenez, 48, of Menifee was also hospitalized.

“Evidence located at the scene combined with the initial investigation revealed that Jimenez was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision,” Dickson said. Police believed Jimenez was a flight risk, prompting them to stand guard at the hospital while he recovered from his injuries, according to Dickson. Jimenez was taken into custody upon release at 7 p.m. Saturday. He was booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter and causing injury while driving under the influence, according to jail records. He remained jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Wildomar man killed in Oceanside crash identified OCEANSIDE – Authorities released the name of a 70-yearold Riverside County man, Saturday, Sept. 2, who was killed in a collision on an Oceanside highway. Paul Cornish of Wildomar was headed west in a bicycle lane alongside state Route 76 near East Vista Way when a Honda sedan travel-

ing in the same direction veered out of an adjacent lane and struck him shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday, according to police. Officers performed CPR on Cornish at the scene of the accident before paramedics arrived and airlifted him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The motorist, 25-year-old Felix Bazan Ruiz of Oceanside, was arrested on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant and for driving on a suspended license. Police later determined that the car Ruiz had been driving was stolen, Sgt. Rick Davis said.

An overturned big rig snarled traffic on the French Valley Parkway exit ramp off southbound Interstate 15, Friday, Sept. 1. Murrieta Fire & Rescue, along with Murrieta Police, the California Highway Patrol, AMR Ambulance and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department all responded to the call of an overturned big rig, which came in at approximately 10:11 a.m. Upon their arrival, units discovered the tractor-trailer on its right side where the ramp makes a sharp 90 degree turn, according to the CHP incident log.

Temescal Canyon High School goes on lockdown LAKE ELSINORE – A Lake Elsinore high school was locked down Friday, Sept. 1, based on concerns about a possible threat to student safety that turned out to be unfounded. Riverside County sheriff’s deputies ordered the lockdown at Temescal Canyon High School on El

Toro Road shortly after 10 a.m., following reports of “suspicious circumstances,” connected to a person or persons, possibly armed, on the campus, deputy Mike Vasquez said. “The campus was secured, and we conducted a thorough search,” Vasquez said. “No threats were

found.” Students and faculty remained in classrooms for about 90 minutes while the investigation was completed, he said. The lockdown was lifted just before noon. For more breaking news, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

One killed in suspected DUI crash HEMET – The coroner’s office, Saturday, Sept. 2, identified a 51-year-old man who was killed in an apparent drunken driving crash Friday evening. The crash occurred 7 p.m. when a Chevrolet Silverado collided with a westbound Toyota Prius at the intersection of Domenigoni Park-

way and Sanderson Avenue, Hemet police Sgt. Dan Reinbolt said. Jose Manahan of Menifee, the driver of the Prius, was hospitalized but died from his injuries about an hour later, according to a coroner’s report. It was unclear how the crash happened, but initial reports indicated

that alcohol may have played a factor, Reinbolt said. Police did not release the identity of the Silverado’s driver. The westbound lanes of Domenigoni Parkway were closed between Searl Parkway and Warren Road for about six hours following the crash while police investigated.
