A major push – complete with an array of 24 street signs, an all-hands press conference and beefed-up policing efforts – was detailed recently by Temecula and Wolf Creek subdivision leaders.

The steps, which centered on the launch of a “renewed” neighborhood watch program, were unparalleled in recent memory in the fast-growing city that has regularly been ranked as one of the safest in the nation.

Some city officials privately conceded afterward that the fanfare of the Sept. 2 event might have overshadowed the significance of what unfolded at the community center of the tract across from the Pechanga Resort & Casino.

“It needed a reboot – the program and the relationships – needed a reboot and that’s what happened,” Councilman Matt Rahn said.

Rahn was one of the speakers at the event, which was billed as a press conference and attracted a standing-room audience of more than 40 residents, city officials and media representatives.

New flap over Susan G. Komen vote centers on Lake Elsinore councilman’s role Tim O’Leary Staff Writer A pair of Lake Elsinore leaders has rebuffed an advocacy group’s demands that the City Council reconsider its decision to host and help finance the upcoming Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Recalling the days following the Sept.

11 attacks

John Hunneman Columnist Fourteen years have gone by, but it seems like just the other day I watched the horror unfold live on CNN. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 continue to impact the lives of not just Americans, but people around the globe.

I am honored this week to be a speaker at a ceremony at The Colony in Murrieta on the anniversary marking that day.

This past week I’ve been pondering what I might say.

Two stories came to mind. Here they are: It wasn’t the first inquiry she’d had on the subject.

“We’ve gotten a bunch of calls just like yours,” the woman told me.

Fourteen years ago I called the local military recruiting office.

Our oldest son was 22 years old. As a recent college graduate

he would be a prime target if the military draft was reinstated.

If it came to that, I asked the recruiter, could I go in place of my son? She said she’d heard the same request many times since the attacks.

There was a formula involving age and years of service, I was told, to determine if I would be eligible to go back into the Navy.

I wasn’t even close.

In hindsight, the idea of me trying to squeeze back into the uniform I’d packed away a quarter of years before, seems illogical and far-fetched. However, in those dark, uncertain days, with our nation possibly on the brink of all-out war, many of us wanted to do something.

Not long after the attack, our son signed up for Naval Officer Candidate School. He was well along in the process when a medical condition was discovered that made him ineligible for military service.

I don’t think I’ve ever told him how proud I was of him from trying. I will make a point of doing that this weekend.

There were others in our family, like many of yours, who joined the service following the attacks.

We have been blessed. After numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, our family members have come home physically unscathed.

However, the long-term impacts of those wars on some are just beginning to surface.

Our commitment to all of these

brave men and women, and their families, should be unwavering.

Story two: On the Friday following the attacks a candlelight vigil was held in Murrieta.

“I must have made about 150 calls and asked people to call everyone they knew,” organizer April Vidal told me that night. “This turnout is a little overwhelming.

We just want the (victims of 9/11) to know that we love them and we care about them.”

As dusk fell about 1,000 people gathered along California Oaks Road near the Sports Park. Flags flew, horns honked, tears flowed and patriotic songs were sung.

The crowd, with candles lit, walked along California Oaks Road to the Murrieta Fire Station.

Several Murrieta firefighters had already headed east to help with the rescue and recovery efforts.

I left the large rally and drove around.

Across the community small groups had gathered on street corners and in driveways. Many lit candles. It was likely the first time they’d come out of their homes since the attacks.

My lasting memory of the days following the Sept. 11 attacks are those small gathering of neighbors, who might not have said more than a few words to each other over the years.

I remember thinking at that moment that no matter what was ahead, together we would get through it.

DAR will celebrate Constitution Week with Bells Across America ceremony on Sept. 17 TEMECULA – Sept. 17 marks the 228th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States.

Local Riverside supervisors seek new Sheriff’s patrol rate analysis Tony Ault Writer Faced with FBI reports of a recent 8.4 percent overall crime increase in Riverside County supervisors urged the Sheriff’s Department to make an in-depth cost analysis on how much it would take to once again increase the patrol ratio of 1.2 deputies per 1,000 residents in the unincorporated areas of the county.

The board came short of authorizing the department to immediately begin an expanded recruitment drive to increase the current 1.08 patrol deputies per thousand to the recommended 1.2 per thousand.

Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington and Board Chairman Marion Ashley brought the matter to the supervisors on Tuesday, Sept. 2 following up on constituents complaints of the increasing crime rates in their unincorporated neighborhoods. They recommended the board approve upping the department’s recruitment drive to meet the preferred 1.2 ratio by the end of the fiscal year 2018-19. The cost was estimated between $15 and 20 million. Sheriff Stan Sniff, although

not at the meeting, sent Undersheriff William DiYorio to voice support for a recruitment increase in light of the latest increase in crime.

Increasing crimes include murders, rapes, aggravated assaults, robberies, car thefts and burglaries. The violent crimes reportedly have risen to 15 percent in Riverside County since June, observed Ashley and Washington.

DiYario told the board the ratio in the county is now at 1.04 percent and remains stable. He indicated that the department is using special teams to patrol the more troubled crime areas in the county, but more deputies are needed to beef up stations throughout the county. He said the department needs an additional 20 to 25 new deputies per year to keep up with the population increase. By 2019 DiYario estimated the department would need 100 more deputies. It would take five deputies per shift in each station to meet the goal.

Three Sage area residents appeared before the board asking for more deputies to patrol in their areas because of illegal marijuana growers moving into the area.

Sage resident Eileni Malandrinos

said, “We have horrific issues up there with those pot growers. They are using our well water and tanks to grow their pot for profit. There are people creeping around at night stealing our water and pipes, destroying our property and threatening us.

“They are going at gunpoint to our homes and threatening us,” she continued. “There are no police reports because people are afraid of them.”

Another resident named Jackie said the marijuana growers have blocked a number of the roads in the area, put up “ugly” green houses and plastic covers to hide plants, and had stolen some of her friends’ water.

Sylvia, also a Sage resident, complained she knew firsthand how they threaten people who refuse to lease the land or rent their homes. A Mead Valley resident also complained about the illegal growers and the destruction of the land.

All the residents ask the board to bring more deputies on the force to better control the rising crime problems they are facing in their areas.

Despite the pleas for the added recruitment from Washington, Ashley, Sniff and Sage and Mead Valley residents, Supervisors John Benoit and

John Tavaglione opposed authorizing the increased recruitment drive citing the fact the sheriff and other public safety agencies in the county were in the process of trying to cut down a $25 to $45 million budget shortfall.

Benoit, a former California Highway Patrol commander, noted that in June’s budget talks Sniff indicated he was comfortable with current 1.08 per thousand ratio since they were working hard to reduce their law enforcement costs in the county.

Benoit said he respected how short the department’s field deputies were and how hard they are working to reduce the crime rate. “But that’s not the county’s only critical functions they have to pay for,” he said. “The reality is we don’t have the funding to sustain this.”

He indicated that there are many competing needs in the county’s public safety area. One of the more critical needs, he suggested, is increasing the capacity of the county jails which are now underway. “However,” he said, “we don’t even know how we are going to pay for them.” He saw the motion to provide additional funding to increase the policing ratio in the next year as “premature.”

Tavaglione suggested the idea of re-establishing the 1.2 per thousand ratio would not necessarily mean that many deputies would be in the field.

“What would the actual patrol ratio be when you take away the detectives, sergeants, and lieutenants behind the deputy responding to calls?”

Tavaglione said. He said the public needs to have a better understanding of the ratios provided.

After the lengthy discussion, the supervisors unanimously approved a motion made by Supervisor Kevin Jefferies to have the sheriff’s department and staff to find out what the real financial impact would be on increasing the deputy field ratio. “I want to make an informed decision on what the real impact of this is going to be,” he said. “If we have to wipe out X,Y or Z department to achieve this, I might do it, but I want it to be an informed decision.”

A comprehensive study of the county’s public safety resources ordered in June is now underway.

The assessment is expected to be completed in January or February giving the supervisors enough time to study it before the 2015-16 county budget is presented.

Riverside Board of Supervisors reinstates RIDE program for released inmates in need of transportation Tony Ault Writer

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the reinstatement of the Riverside Inmate Destination Endeavor program providing free transportation home to inmates released late from the Southwest Detention Center jail.

Following a discussion on the effect of the recent discontinuance of

the program on the criminal activity Murrieta’s French Valley area, led

by Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington, on Tuesday the board approved $100,000 to reinstate the program for another year. The motion to reinstate the program was approved in a 4-1 vote. Fourth District Supervisor John Benoit cast the only “No” vote. A four-member majority was required to pass the program’s approval since the program affects

the county budget.

The RIDE program was first instituted by the county in June 2014 after then Supervisor Jeff Stone told fellow supervisors residents and businessmen surrounding the Southwest Detention Center in French Valley were filing numerous nuisance and property crime reports. The pilot program was discontinued on May 1.

The program began after residents in the French Valley and surrounding Murrieta area argued that many of the inmates being released from the jail late at night had no money to pay for a ride. As a result they were seen late at night loitering outside of the nearby homes and businesses.

One French Valley resident, in favor of the programs reinstatement, appeared before the board. She told supervisors that inmates had come to her door late at night and at local businesses asking to use the phone and for money.

Murrieta Police Chief Sean Hadden also appeared before the board to relay his support for reinstatement of the RIDE program. He cited several examples of inmates who had committed crimes in and around the detention center after their release.

He noted that after the program was discontinued there have been a number of “high profile” cases involving released inmates who had no ride home. He said the highest number of these incidents were in the Highway 79 and Hunter Road area not far from the jail.

Murrieta Councilman Rick Gibbs also made an appearance saying residents are again reporting released inmates wandering through neighborhoods “knocking on doors and asking for help.” He asked the board to reinstate the program.

After the pilot program started, inmates released from jail late at night, were provided a voucher to pay for a taxi or shuttle service to their home or a preferred location.

The nuisance complaints quickly decreased in the area, according to Hadden. He said since RIDE was discontinued a 5.7 percent crime increase in the Murrieta area has been recorded.

Undersheriff William DiYorio, standing in for Sheriff Stan Sniff, told the board that the crime rate in Murrieta actually was about the same countywide and could not be directly attributed only to the inmates

released from the Murrieta jail. In a report to the board, said while the data was not specific to the French Valley area, the property owners believed the decrease in crime was attributed to the RIDE program. He did say that the actual crime rate last reported to the department was up 15 percent countywide. There were conflicting crime rate reports submitted to the board in recent weeks.

Benoit said he cast the no vote mainly because it was a budget issue. Because of the higher cost the RIDE pilot was not continued after May 1.The Sheriff’s Department reported that after 12 months the RIDE program cost $77,161, well over the original $25,000 allocated by the county. The board, during the year, voted for additional appropriations in June and December of last year to cover those additional costs.

Benoit said he believed the Sheriff’s Department has a number of other programs like the Community Oriented Policing that are addressing the increasing crime rates and the county does not have the money to continue the RIDE program at a cost of $100,000.

Local CRIME from page A-1 lived near them.

Naggar recalled when a car was stolen from his Wolf Creek driveway in 2006 and told how an encounter with some teenage marijuana users escalated to repeated damage to his home more than a year ago.

Naggar praised police officials for catching and arresting the offenders, whom he said intensified their retaliation after they learned he was mayor at that time.

The event also included appeals for residents to take a more active role in watching out for their neighborhoods. Rahn, Kubel and other speakers noted that some residents are reporting incidents of suspicious activity and possible crimes on social media without alerting police.

“It’s the philosophy of see something say something,” Rahn told the audience.

Naggar noted that council members are also available to help as needed.

“I’m a phone call or email away,” he said.

Naggar was on the city Planning Commission from 1997 to 1999, the period in which Wolf Creek was working its way through the land use review process. He was on the council when the tract’s specific plan won final approval in

2001. The developer was granted the right to build up to 2,022 residences there.

Naggar moved into the tract during an early wave of the project’s development. He moved to another home elsewhere in the city about a year ago. Rahn lived in Wolf Creek for nearly six years before his family moved about a year ago.

The tract is showing signs of maturity, as trees that were planted as saplings now cast large swaths of shade across sidewalks and lawns.

Community members are strongly urged to call (951) 696-HELP(4357) to report any suspicious activity to the Temecula Police Department.

Temecula Police Chief Jeff Kubel speaks about the new neighborhood watch program for the Wolf Creek community and the department’s goals to minimize crime in the area.

Shane Gibson photos

Rahn said he started hearing concerns in January, about two months after he was elected to the council, about a sharp uptick in crime in Wolf Creek. He said he met with Kubel and reviewed calls for service in the south side of the city.

Rahn said police blame much of the increase on statewide efforts to ease prison and jail crowding.

Those steps have diverted more offenders from incarceration into community programs and reduced many felony crimes to misdemeanors.

Sullivan, the homeowner association president, said Wolf Creek’s previous neighborhood watch effort “kind of faded over

time” as the subdivision matured.

He said a surge in crime – much of it committed by youth – prompted the renewed focus among residents and officers.

“The area was deemed to be safe and they kind of got lax,” Sullivan said. He introduced reporters to Ray McLaughlin, a retired Monterey County deputy chief who heads the homeowner association’s safety committee.

Sullivan praised the city’s quick and thorough reaction to the spike in crime. He said the response was better than what he would have expected when he lived in West Hollywood and could boast that the mayor was his neighbor.

“The outreach was incredible,” Sullivan said of Temecula’s followup. “Nothing was held back.”

Kubel said crime analysts began noticing a jump in calls for service about the same time that Rahn and others took note. Temecula is one of several cities in the region that contract with Riverside County for sheriff’s department services.

Kubel said his department diverted extra resources to the area, which has scant violent crime and is largely plagued by burglaries, thefts and vandalism. Officers and detectives have made 23 arrests and cleared 31cases since January, he said.

Sullivan described the arrest and clearance rates as “absolutely incredible.” Kubel could not, however, provide more in-depth crime statistics for Wolf Creek. He said the sheriff’s department generally tracks crime statistics for much larger geographical areas and it is a complex and time-consuming task to burrow in on specific tracts or neighborhoods.

But the lack of statistics won’t deter the department from tossing a wide net of officers, detectives and special services over problem areas as needed, he said.

“I have these resources like a strike team that I can send in and have an impact,” Kubel told his audience.

County approves utility relocation agreements for Clinton Keith Road extension Joe Naiman Writer The Aug. 18 meeting of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors included the approval of two agreements with Southern California Edison for the relocation of electricity transmission and distribution lines as part of the Clinton Keith Road extension project.

A 4-0 vote with Marion Ashley absent approved a joint use agree-

ment for the relocation of lines between the Murrieta city limit and Warm Springs Creek. A 3-0 vote with Ashley and Chuck Washington absent approved a facilities relocation agreement for electric facilities between Whitewood Road and Leon Road.

On June 2 the county supervisors authorized the advertisement for bids for a contract to extend Clinton Keith Road from Whitewood Road to Trois Valley Street. The city of Murrieta

completed the extension of Clinton Keith Road from Interstate 215 to State Route 79, and an adjacent development took responsibility for the extension segment between Trois Valley Street and Leon Road.

The property rights of Southern California Edison for its 12,000volt facilities required a joint use agreement for the relocation of the facilities from the SCE-owned easements to county right-of-way with the county funding the full cost of the

relocation. The facilities relocation agreement for the segment between Whitewood Road and Leon Road includes an estimated county cost of $1,294,812. A joint use agreement to place the transmission poles, conductors, and associated equipment within the Clinton Keith Road rightof-way is being processed separately, and construction is expected to begin in fall 2015 as is the construction of the Clinton Keith Road extension from Whitewood Road to Trois Val-

ley Street.

The county’s estimated cost of $1,300,000 for the relocation between the Murrieta city limit and Warm Springs Creek will allow for the power poles to be placed in a location which will accommodate plans to widen Clinton Keith Road to six lanes. A separate facilities relocation agreement will be brought to the Board of Supervisors once negotiations are completed.

Murrieta police chief report to city council – 2015 property crimes up, violent crimes same or decreased Tony Ault Writer Murrieta’s property crimes showed an increase while violent crimes decreased or stayed the same in the city’s 2014-2015 crime statistics report presented to the Murrieta City Council by Murrieta Police Department Chief Sean Hadden.

“Unfortunately we had a crime increase in the city,” the chief said at the Tuesday, Sept. 1 city council meeting.

Hadden, in showing the council the latest crime statistics in a PowerPoint presentation, noted that even though Murrieta’s crime was up during the past year, other cities and counties crime statistics were much higher. “We’re still a safe community,” he assured the council.

Property crimes in Murrieta showed the biggest increase with larceny or theft being at the top of the list. The charts showed that in 2013-14 the city experienced 571 thefts while this year 756 were reported, averaging about a 25 percent increase. Most of the thefts were shoplifting cases, he said.

Other property crimes included car thefts at 182 as compared to 114 last year and burglaries 178 to 154 last year.

He noted that the large box stores in the community, like Walmart, have been working with the local police and are making far more arrests for shoplifting than in the past.

Hadden also showed that the number of violent crimes, which include murder, rape, aggravated assault, arson and armed robbery, were either the same or down.

There were no homicides or murders reported this year and only one last year, according to the statistics.

Rape and armed robberies were down while arson cases were up to seven as compared to five last year.

“The reason for the crime increase,” Hadden said, “is the AB 109 realignment, Prop. 47, Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act and the lack of jail space in the county.”

AB 109 is allowing more and more arrestees for lesser crimes being released only hours or days after their booking while Prop. 47 is giving no incentives for addicts to participate in drug diversion programs. The lack of county jail space is attributed to new federal mandates on the maximum number of inmates allowed in state and federal prisons. Many prison inmates

convicted of minor crimes are being transferred to county facilities for lack of prison space.

“All our prisoners now go to county jail for booking,” Hadden said. “This has helped us.”

However, Riverside County jails are holding far beyond their allowed prisoner population, even though new jails are under construction or planned. This has resulted in many early releases many from the Southwest County Detention Center in French Valley.

“What are we doing about it?”

Hadden said, “Five things.” His PowerPoint showed some of his officers being assigned to an AB 209 compliance team or a shoplifting diversion team; taking all prisoners to a county jail; creating more public awareness; and working with different law enforcement agencies on different strategies to combat the rise in crime. “And we do work with other agencies,” Hadden said.

Hadden was pleased to report to the council that the County Board of Supervisors reinstated the RIDE program for the next year. The

Name Brand Clothing Exchange for Guys & Girls

program provides taxi vouchers to prisoners being released late at night from the Southwest County Detention Center in Murrieta’s French Valley. Earlier in the day Hadden appeared before the supervisors in support of the program.

In other business, the council approved the purchase of 10 new police cars at cost of $339,495 and two new detective vehicles and a new task force radio at a cost of $91,000 that will be charged to the Federal Forfeiture Asset fund.

The final reading and public hearing on a proposed Murrieta Tourism Business Improvement District presented by hotel owners resulted in its 4-0 approval. The new business district will allow hotel owners to charge a small room tax that will be used to promote

the city’s business and recreation venues. The taxes collected for the district will be subject to audit by the city but used only by the hotel owners for promotional services.

Mayor Harry Ramos and the council presented certificates of recognition to members of the

city’s Junior Olympics Gymnastic Team who won second place in national competition in Virginia. The gymnastics program, recognized by the AAU junior Olympics, is sponsored by the Murrieta City Parks and Recreation Department.

WWII veteran tells how he was captured by German forces and became a POW Laura Rathbun Writer Though it’s been over 70 years, WWII veteran Don Foulkes can still vividly remember details of Oct. 13, 1944, the day he was captured by German forces and became a POW. Ninety-three-year-old Foulkes of Fallbrook shared his wartime memories during a talk at the West Coast Ammo store in Temecula on Saturday, Aug. 29. The talk was presented by the World War II Experience, an educational nonprofit organization, and West Coast Ammo, its sponsor.

Dr. Linda Dudik, founder of the WWII Experience and organizer of the monthly veteran talks at West Coast Ammo, gave background information on Foulkes before

he spoke. She explained to the audience that he flew out of Italy with the 15th Air Force’s 449th Bomb Group, known as the Flying Horsemen and his squadron was the 717th.

Dudik said Foulkes was the bombardier in a B-24 Liberator and was responsible for accurate and effective bomb drops over enemy targets.

On Oct. 13 1944, Foulkes’s plane named “Old Faithful” was shot down after a bombing run over Vienna, Austria. It was his 28th mission. Along with others in the crew, he parachuted out of the plane and landed in a field in Hungary. He was soon approached by 10 Hungarian soldiers and captured. Hungary was one of Germany’s allies.

Foulkes said the soldiers were

carrying long rifles that looked like they’d been left over from the “turn of the century.” The soldiers stole the signet ring his parents had given him and his watch. One of the soldiers spoke English and asked Foulkes, “You know my cousin in Chicago?”

“No, I told him I didn’t know his cousin,” Foulkes said, which caused the audience to laugh.

Then the English speaking solider commented to Foulkes that it was a “bad day.”

“I realized I was in Hungary, but suddenly realized it was Friday the 13th, October, 13th, 1944,” Foulkes said.

He was taken into custody and transported by train with other POWs to Stalag Luft III, 100 miles southeast of Berlin.

Years later, Hollywood made this POW camp famous with the movie “The Great Escape,” according to Dudik.

Foulkes, who enlisted in the Army when he was 22, recounted in great detail how he and his fellow POWs survived from day to day. He was a POW for seven months.

“Life in a prison camp was sorta different,” Foulkes said, comparing it to the jails he had been held in on the way to the camp.

“The big thing was food and fuel,” he said. He explained that the Red Cross issued parcels of food that were theoretically enough to feed one person for a week.

“I was told we were on half parcels,” he said. “We got half a parcel, the Germans got the other half. They were in deep trouble too as far as that goes.”

The parcels contained foods such as sugar, powdered milk, spam and raisins. One of Foulkes fellow POWs had cooking skills and used his ingenuity to make a mincemeat pie one time for 14 men to share. The pie maker had traded his cigarettes to get the necessary spices for the pie and used raisins and Spam for the filling. The crust was made from crackers. “You have never ever seen such precision in cutting 14 pieces of pie,” Foulkes said, laughing.

For fuel the Germans gave them coal to burn in a pot belly stove, but it wasn’t enough to keep them warm, according to Foulkes. So at night when the Germans were unaware the POWs removed bed slats

from their bunks and pried up floor bars with a crowbar that someone had managed to get a hold of. They used the bed slats and floor boards for firewood, he said.

Foulkes said a typical day started with the Germans waking them so they could go outside and be counted. Sometimes the Germans counted them at night inside the barracks. One night the POWs decided to pull a prank on their captors by placing some cabbage and rutabagas in a bunk and covering them with a blanket to look like a person. When the Germans counted prisoners that night they were amazed to find one more.

When the Germans left the vegetables were removed from the bunk and two prisoners crawled into one bunk together. When the Germans returned for a recount they were shocked to be short two prisoners. The POWs enjoyed the prank, but not the Germans.

“We didn’t make too many friends that night,” Foulkes commented.

By April 1945, the Germans had moved thousands of POWs, including Foulkes, to Moosburg, another camp north of Munich.

The U.S. 14th Armored Division liberated it on April 29, 1945.

Foulkes remembers that day well. He said they noticed it was

quiet and that the camp’s guards had left. Suddenly the quiet was shattered by an artillery shell whistling overhead and a POW jumped through a glass window from outside and landed unscathed in front of Foulkes and the others.

Then Foulkes said he heard someone shout, “Hey, the U.S. Troops are coming!”

It was General George S. Patton’s Army and it crashed a tank through the camp’s wall. “We were saved,” Foulkes said.

He added that he and the other POWs were impressed by Patton and how he appeared with his shiny helmet, Eisenhower jacket and pearl-handled pistols.

“He spoke to us,” Foulkes said.

He can’t recall Patton’s exact words, but he basically told them they were free.

Foulkes soon returned to his hometown of Peabody, Mass. Following the war, he said he married, had children and worked for General Electric as a sales manager.

The veteran talks are presented monthly. Dudik said the next talk will be in late October.

Rancho Damacitas champions the success of foster youth Bianca Hollins Special to Valley News “To nurture, empower and develop self-sufficient and well-educated young adults” is the hope of every parent and teacher and the mission and passion of Rancho Damacitas Children and Family Services. For vulnerable foster youth; having faced abuse, neglect, and uncertainty about their futures, nonprofit Rancho Damacitas has for over 35 years provided a safe home and direction on the journey to success.

Started by a loving couple housing four foster children, the organization has grown over decades to include six residential facilities housing 36 children while maintaining a variety of programs including Children’s Enrichment, scholar-

KOMEN from page A-1 Komen’s Internet site identifies Sharon Tisdale as its board’s current president.

The advocates group demanded that Lake Elsinore’s council reconsider its decision to host the Oct. 18 event at the Storm Stadium after plans unraveled to again hold the fundraiser in Temecula.

The Aug. 31 demand and the subsequent dismissal are the latest twists in an unfolding saga that began in Temecula, shifted north to Lake Elsinore and involves two global nonprofit groups that focus on women’s health issues.

A focal point is a string of videos that set the stage for precedentsetting decisions by the councils of the two cities. The undercover videos show abortion providers discussing the use of aborted fetuses for research, exchanges that have sparked accusations that Planned Parenthood is profiting from the sale of fetal tissue.

Planned Parenthood has denied the accusations as “outrageous and completely false claims” and described the video providers as “extremists.” Yet that denial has not prevented the controversy from roiling Southwest Riverside County and other parts of the country.

The advocates’ letter did not prompt Lake Elsinore officials to put the issue on last Tuesday’s agenda. There was a closed session item listed that was described as “significant exposure to litigation.” Yates said he was not at liberty to disclose the topic of that private discussion, but he noted that any number of legal matters is routinely brought before city councils everywhere.

City and county governing boards can legally meet behind closed doors to discuss personnel items, contract negotiations, legal disputes and certain other issues.

The videos left the Temecula council with emotional and religious misgivings on Aug. 11. The misgivings – which stemmed from the financial support that Komen’s national leaders award to Planned Parenthood on an annual basis – prompted Temecula council members to impose strict funding conditions on an event that they had enthusiastically supported for more than a decade.

The event had been held annually at Temecula’s Promenade mall. Last year’s walk and race raised $672,553 and attracted 8,579 participants and 600 volunteers. Nearly 600 participants identified themselves as breast

ships, and Project Independence aimed at helping children beyond their time in Rancho Damacitas’s care. All housing, school support, and a transition for the children into independent living and the job market are completely community funded through the Champion Donation System. For just $1,000 a year or about $83 a month, anyone can become a Champion and help the organization sustain and expand the services necessary to help this growing population.

Director of Emancipated Services, Steve Liapis emphasizes in highlighting goals that “the volunteer participation of the community, sponsorships and donations are keys to the longevity of a program that is facing significant changes” given adjustments in state funding

to children and family services statewide. More families and “children referred to Rancho are facing horrors such as trafficking which necessitate counseling and shelter resources” that it is vital Rancho Damacitas have in place in the near future. For Liapis and the organization, this and auxiliary agendas are taking center stage in the year ahead.

First up is the expansion of Project Independence, a course in which those who have reached 18 secure jobs, attend school and learn budgeting and other household responsibilities while living in an offsite apartment. With the local community’s help Rancho Damacitas hopes to match a $200,000 grant from Lennar Homes to build another permanent house and raise

the number of young adults able to benefit from this course. Additionally, there are plans for a community center/gymnasium and a series of summer trips from camping to baseball games to provide the kids with fun activities and a sense of normalcy.

For Kristi Piatkowski, development director, “none of this would be possible without the care of generous, compassionate people who should be celebrated” for their contribution. In that spirit, Rancho Damacitas will be hosting a Champions Luncheon on Sept. 18 at Temeku Resort, open to the public with speaker and former Olympian Mark Anderson and words from Rancho Damacitas youth sharing their experience. Piatkowski hopes “to inspire more volunteers and

introduce the staff that make every day special with their positivity” who might not otherwise be recognized for all their hard work.

Removing the stigma of foster care is a priority of the organization and their efforts a reminder that the importance of family lies not in blood relations but having a network of support, guidance, and the encouragement to improve one’s self and move beyond obstacles.

Recognized statewide for exceptional care, Rancho Damacitas is and will remain committed to being that family for all youth in need for years to come.

cancer survivors.

Temecula’s support for the annual event dates back to Jeff Stone’s tenure on the council.

Stone’s mother died of breast cancer, and the council continued to back the event even after Stone was elected to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and, last November, to the state Senate.

The event is in its 17th year, and Komen’s Inland Empire affiliate initially asked Temecula for a $22,500 cash donation and city services worth about $27,500. But budget concerns prompted a council committee to recommend that the city instead provide $18,828 worth of police and other support services and marketing assistance valued at $10,865.

A spirited Temecula council discussion on Aug. 11 ended with the panel voting unanimously to set key requirements that had to be met by Komen before any funds would be allocated.

The council said all of the race proceeds must remain in the coffers of Komen’s regional affiliate.

Secondly, the affiliate was told it had to provide breast cancer awareness, detection and related services to Temecula residents that would be equal to the value of the city’s support.

Katie Parker, executive director of Komen’s Inland Empire affiliate, notified Temecula on Aug. 17 that “contractual obligations” prevented it from meeting the city’s conditions. Her three-page letter addressed each of the city’s conditions and stated the group was “surprised and disappointed” by the council’s action.

The letter said Komen had decided to approach Lake Elsinore.

Parker sent a similar letter days later that asked for Komen’s request to be placed on that city’s next council agenda.

Yates replied “absolutely not” when asked if Tisdale did any behind-the-scenes lobbying on behalf of Komen or take steps to persuade city staff to quickly move the group’s request onto a council agenda.

Yates said Lake Elsinore received the request directly from Komen staff. He said the request was first discussed among city staff and then with the operators of the Storm Stadium, which was constructed more than 20 years ago with city redevelopment funds.

An emotional discussion on Aug. 25 ended with Lake Elsinore council members voting 3-2 to host the event and help subsidize its costs. Yates had estimated that the city’s police and other support

services will cost about $7,500.

Yates explained that Lake Elsinore’s support costs would be less than Temecula’s because no roads will need to be closed.

In the past, roads were closed around Temecula’s regional mall to protect event participants. The vast expanse of the Storm stadium and its parking lots and open space eliminated the need for such pedestrian safety measures, Yates said.

Tisdale participated in the Aug. 25 council discussion and voted in favor of his city’s sponsorship of the Komen race. He stated during the discussion that Komen’s Inland affiliate does not contribute any race proceeds to Planned Parenthood. He noted that only 11 of Komen’s 111 affiliates help fund Planned Parenthood programs.

The advocates issued a press release the day of the Lake Elsinore council meeting. The group asked city residents to attend the meeting and urged the council to impose

the same funding restrictions on the event that their Temecula counterparts had enacted.

The group’s Aug. 31 letter claimed that Tisdale’s participation in the discussion and vote represented “a substantial violation” of two government codes and other ethical regulations.

Tisdale should have first identified his wife’s role with Komen and then left the council chambers before the discussion occurred, according to the group, which has offices in Murrieta and Santa Ana. The three-page letter was signed

by Marty J. Nicholson, an attorney for the group. It warned that the council would have 30 days to “cure or correct” the violation by holding another discussion of the Komen event without Tisdale’s participation.

Nicholson warned that a failure to do so “may leave us no recourse but to seek a judicial invalidation of the challenged action. …” His letter said the advocates would ask

a judge to order the city to meet its demands as well as pay the group’s court and attorney costs.

Tisdale said he was not moved by the warning. He said he sought legal advice with the city attorney before he participated in the Komen discussion and vote. He said he was advised that there was no conflict because his wife is a Komen volunteer and neither she nor her family reaps any financial benefit from her involvement.

She gets “nothing from them” beyond the ability to help others, Tisdale said in a telephone interview. In fact, Tisdale said his wife’s involvement with Komen actually costs his family money because she pays for her own gasoline, benefit tickets and other expenses associated with her board involvement.

“It’s a little disingenuous and disconcerting that (the advocates group) would make this their issue,” he said.

Students grow and harvest plants as part of the Cultivating Inclusion program.

Cultivating Inclusion includes special needs students at all levels regardless of their disability.

Go Bananas board members Samantha Morton, Julia Rogoff, Mark Strecker, Jennifer Bullock and Doreen Camerota enjoy working with the students who are part of the program.

A variety of vegetables are grown at the Cultivating Inclusion farm located in Murrieta. The program, part of Go Bananas, gives special needs kids and adults something to do while helping them to achieve their goals.

According to volunteer Samantha Morton, there are families with special needs adult children who have nothing to do with their time.

“When you talk to the school districts they are looking for things to do,” she said. “The feedback from the teachers and the job coaches has really been that the kids don’t get outside. They don’t get this experience; some of them have never touched a plant before.

that they do.”

Aside from growing the food, the kids in the program get to give back to the community by taking what they have harvested to the senior center and local food pantries serving another needy population in the community.

“They get to give back, it is a good experience for them,” Morton said.

According to Cultivating Inclusion volunteer Michael Dooty, the program is beneficial to everyone.

“It is really kind of filling a spot where nothing has been before in this community,” he said. “Just the eagerness with some of the emails we see come in and the phone calls and the messages, they want to know if they can come tomorrow.”

Rogoff said each of the adults and children who attend come with their own set of goals within their plan they’ve worked out with the school district.

“They might target social skills or vocational skills or occupational therapy, following directions, sticking to the task at hand,” she said.

“What we can do, is we can create things for them to do on the farm that targets all of those goals.”

Rogoff said the group knows what the kids need so they can adjust or create a program to help each participant to achieve their goals.

“As special needs parents, we kind of know what the kids need so it’s easy for us to tailor the program for each individual student,” she said.

Morton said the biggest need Cultivating Inclusion has is for community members to volunteer alongside those in the program.

“Come help us pick, come help us plant and come help us weed,” she said.

The group can be found at the farm located behind the ball fields at Alta Murrieta Sports Park, Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. until around noon. Those interested in assisting with the project can visit www.cultivatinginclusion. org and enter their email address for updates or follow the group on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ CultivatingInclusion.

The group is planning a fall fundraiser on the farm. Though no dates have been announced, the leaders of Cultivating Inclusion hope the entire community comes out to see firsthand what they do and how the program benefits those with special needs.

“We want to get them to come out and interact,” Morton said, adding that donations of shovels, dirt, seeds and anything that can be used on the farm are always appreciated.

We would do well to remember that all lives matter Kim Harris Managing Editor It’s not often that I venture into the world of national politics, but this week I’m fired up and feel the need to put something out there on the recent rash of violence against police officers in the United States.

The execution-style murder of a Texas deputy, Darren Goforth, while he filled up his patrol car at a suburban Houston gas station was shocking and horrifying to say the least. w w w. m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

According to Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman, the suspect approached Goforth from behind on Friday, Aug. 28 and “literally shot him to death.” Hickman said that the suspect targeted the deputy simply because of his uniform.

Hickman said the killing was “unprovoked” and called it an “execution-style killing” of a police officer. At this time there have been no details revealed by a suspect arrested for the killing, according to published reports.

“As far as we know, Deputy Goforth had no previous contact with the suspect, and it appears to be clearly unprovoked,” Hickman said.

Shannon J. Miles, 30, who has a previous police record, was arrested the next day in connection

with the shooting and charged with capital murder.

Goforth is survived by a wife and two children, ages 5 and 12.

Flash forward to Tuesday, Sept.

1 in Fox Lake, Ill. Lt. Joe Gliniewicz was pursuing three suspects on foot, according to Lake County Sheriff’s Sgt. Christopher Covelli.

Radio communications dropped off and backup officers were sent.

They discovered Gliniewicz, unresponsive, with a gunshot wound that ultimately resulted in his death.

Gliniewicz, a 30-year veteran of the police force, is survived by his wife of 30 years and four children.

As of press time, no arrests have been made in this case and the motive for the shooting is unknown.

An intensive manhunt for the suspects that ended on Thursday, Sept.

Glenn Mollette Special to Valley News

I had never heard of Chicago suburb Fox Lake police officer Joe Gliniewicz. Recently, three men murdered him. Sadly I now know about what a great man and police officer he was.

Could this be a good time to reinstate the sixth commandment? You might know it better as “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” “Thou Shalt Not Murder” or “You Should Not Kill.” The sixth commandment appears in a series of commandments remembered by some today as The Ten Commandments. These commandments can be found in the Old Testament of the Bible. Donald Trump was recently asked if he liked the Old Testament or New Testament the best and he replied that he liked it all affirming the Bible as his favorite book. I doubt if the majority of Americans can tell you for sure about where to find The Ten Commandments. Some would simply affirm them as being important while others would not.

Not every American may know that The Ten Commandments come from the Old Testament of the Bible.

Honestly, most Americans may not care. I am old enough to remember when The Ten Commandments were a big deal everywhere. We had them in some of our classrooms where I grew up. I used to see them posted in state and federal buildings. Actually, I was speaking in a small Nevada town two years ago and The Ten Commandments were posted in front of the courthouse. I would tell you the name but I don’t want someone fussing and fuming at those good people for keeping The Ten Commandments up front and public.

Special to Valley News

Actually there are still several state and county buildings where you can find The Ten Commandments posted or engraved even in granite.

The Ten Commandments has never kept this nation from doing anything wrong. People went right on killing, stealing, disrespecting their parents and doing all sorts of stuff that The Ten Commandments forbid us from doing.

I totally understand separation of church and state. I don’t want to see something from the Koran on my local court or state house. However, I think this would be a good time to bring back the sixth commandment.

We don’t even have to refer to it as the sixth commandment. Let’s just simply start reposting in our elementary, junior high and senior high schools these three words, “Do Not Kill” or “Do Not Murder.”

The minds of little children are very impressionable and teachable.

My father put the fear of God into me when it came to smoking. From the time I was a young child he successfully made me afraid of smoking or drinking alcohol. This kind of teaching and impressing is harder when children become teenagers.

Teenagers start becoming smarter than their parents so they think.

I realize hanging “Do Not Kill” on every wall and home in America will not eliminate the murder of black people, white people, Hispanics or police officers. However, how could it hurt?

All I know is this is a sad state of affairs when those who sign on to protect and serve become the target for hate and discontent and as our elected leader, President Obama owes us all some kind of a statement on this new and quite frightening “trend.”

There is a movement out there commonly known as Black Lives Matter. Well, I’ll go one step further and just say this – All Lives Matter.

And let’s not forget the two New York City officers who were executed while sitting in their patrol car last year.

My question for you today is where is our president in all of this? As of press time, he has yet to comment publicly on these shootings though it is my understanding that he did reach out to the widows of these two officers and in May spoke out in support of our peace officers. Now though, President Barack Obama just remains mum on these events that I consider to be nothing other than hate crimes in our country against those who protect and serve.

Californians pay some of the highest fuel taxes in the U.S., but our highways are among the nation’s worst. We are now about two months into a transportation special session called by Governor Brown. As expected, calls for increased taxes are echoing loudly in Sacramento.

In response, I have introduced AB X1 14 which would prioritize transportation spending as a formal part of the budgeting process. My bill would mandate $1 billion toward transportation infrastructure funding annually without raising taxes or fees, including $500 million for highway upgrades and $500 million for local streets and roads. By making our highway needs a budget priority, transportation will no longer provide an excuse for raising taxes. In fact, the Legislative Analyst’s office has shown that there is sufficient funding in the budget, even after Prop.

98 monies are allocated to schools.

AB X1 14 is part of a new, detailed 9-point Republican proposal to provide the funds necessary to

out raising taxes. Our plan would increase transportation funding by $6.6 billion annually and generate 90,000 jobs. The proposals also include redirecting vehicle weight fees back to transportation projects, as originally intended, elimination of redundant Caltrans jobs and simplification of regulations governing highway building and maintenance.

Many of these realistic proposals were recommended by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, and have generated wide bipartisan support in the past. With current estimates placing California’s deferred highway maintenance costs at about $59 billion, on top of billions more needed for local road repairs, transportation should be a priority, not a budget afterthought.

During the special session, I will be looking for cost-effective proposals to maintain and improve state highways, without adding to the excessive tax burden already imposed on California’s longsuffering drivers.

It’s a myth that only new car dealers can service vehicles under warranty Dear Editor, True or false: Until your vehicle is out-of-warranty, it must be serviced by the new car dealer or the factory warranty will be void. Although you may have answered “true,” the correct answer is “false.”

It’s the law that consumers can have routine repairs performed by their local independent repair shop or do the work themselves without affecting the warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the vehicle warranty because service was done by a non-dealer.

According to the FTC, “It’s illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had routine maintenance or repairs performed by someone else. Routine maintenance often includes oil changes, tire rotations, belt replace-

ment, fluid checks and flushes, new brake pads and inspections.”

It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty simply because you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”

The council strongly recommends adhering to scheduled maintenance requirements and keeping records and receipts for all vehicle service. If a warranty claim arises, these records will provide proof that maintenance has been performed in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and requirements.

FTAspay partners with Menifee Animal Clinic MENIFEE—FTAspay is a local nonprofit spay/neuter assistance organization. It is their mission to end animal shelter euthanasia through affordable spay/neuter and microchipping. Every year countless happy, healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in local shelters due to lack of space and the sheer volume of animals taken in every day. Spaying and neutering is the solution to this tragedy.

FTAspay has partnered with Menifee Animal Clinic to offer affordable spay/neuter rates, available through their website, FTAspay. org. In three short years, they have helped residents spay and neuter nearly 5,000 dogs and cats. They have had strong support from the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, Actors & Others for Animals and the city of Lake Elsinore.

In addition to their low online pricing ($50 for dogs and $30 for cats), they periodically run spay/

neuter specials.

Follow their website and Facebook page for $10 microchip clinics. To date, over 1,700 dogs and cats have been microchipped.

Microchipping is the best guarantee your pet will get back home if it ever becomes lost.

FTAspay announced that their billboard is again on display on the southbound I-15 Freeway near Highway 74. It’s a reminder that spaying and neutering saves lives by preventing accidental litters.

Shelters are full of dogs and cats that desperately need homes. In addition to saving animal lives, spaying and neutering also saves tax dollars that could be better spent on community services. Donations to FTAspay are tax-deductible and gratefully accepted.

Blotter AAC Holdings, Inc. faces class action lawsuit for not disclosing murder investigation at treatment center Shelli DeRobertis Writer A federal securities class action lawsuit was filed Aug. 24, 2015 in a Tennessee court against AAC Holdings, Inc., after recent news of a grand jury indictment for murder charges against company president Jerrod N. Menz, his corporations and three former employees sent the rehab centers’ stock price tumbling.

AAC (American Addiction Centers) operates treatment facilities that provide inpatient substance abuse for people with drug and alcohol addiction and have 467 beds at their locations that span nationwide.

The company runs A Better Tomorrow Treatment Centers, Forterus, Inc., and Forterus Health Care Services, including several homes in Murrieta – of which the Irongate Way home is reported to have had four patient deaths occur between 2008 and 2010.

The 17-page complaint filed by Bramlett Law Offices in Nashville and Block & Leviton LLP, of Boston, (Plaintiff Dr. Joseph F. Kasper) is on behalf of all investors who purchased or acquired AAC common stock between Oct. 2, 2014 and Aug. 3, 2015, according to the complaint.

AAC went public Oct. 1, 2014 by selling 5 million shares of its common stock at $15 a share to public investors.

The stock began to trade the next day on the New York Stock Exchange, and the complaint alleges that AAC disclosed in its S-1 Registration Statement that it “was not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in our judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results

of operations.”

It also states that defendants Menz, Michael T. Cartwright and Kathryn Sevier-Phillips, all of Tennessee, did not disclose that the California Department of Justice was investigating the death of a patient at a Forterus treatment facility in Murrieta.

On July 21, a Riverside County Grand Jury accused Menz, Kristofer Michael McCausland, James Andrew Fent, Mignon Hernandez Dean, Forterus, Inc., Forterus Health Care Services, Inc. and ABTTC of the murder of Gary Benefield, 53.

The above named defendants, along with Tami Dawn Scarcella, were also accused of dependent adult abuse against Benefield. All were employees of ABTTC, which was not a medically supervised treatment center.

Benefield died at a Murrieta facility July 26, 2010, according to the indictment.

A 2012 civil suit filed by Benefield’s widow, states Benefield had suffered from congestive heart failure and a recent battle of pneumonia when he was admitted into the center for alcohol detox.

He was allegedly admitted without his oxygen or prescription medications, and his medical state was not checked on during the night of his admittance.

The next morning he was found dead by a rehabilitation center employee.

The class action alleges that AAC knew about the possibility of criminal charges before they went public because an assistant California Attorney General filed an affidavit in the Benefield civil action in 2013 stating that criminal charges will be filed.

In response to the Valley News, ABTTC provided this statement: “We believe this lawsuit is without

Two arrested in connection with burglary ring Kim Harris Managing Editor Two people were arrested in connection with a burglary ring in Temecula on Thursday, Sept. 2 following a long-term investigation, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department press release.

Gabriel Trujillo, 18, of the unincorporated area of Temecula and Isaac Sosa, 22, of Temecula were arrested and booked on various crimes in connection with the thefts.

The press release reported that there was an increase in thefts and residential burglaries in the early months of 2015 so Temecula police launched an expansive investigation in response. The department’s Detective Bureau, Special Enforcement Team, Problem Oriented Policing Team and the Riverside County Gang Task Force were all utilized in the investigation, Lt. Matthew Aveling wrote in the release.

“During these crimes the suspect(s) took items of value which included guns and jewelry,” Aveling wrote.

“Through investigative means, several subjects were identified as being responsible for these crimes.

As the investigation progressed, many stolen items were recovered and numerous arrests made in connection with the associated crimes.”

Due to the efforts of those involved in the investigation, Temecula police identified the persons responsible for 31 separate incidents of theft or burglary, made 23 arrests and recovered 14 stolen firearms.

On Thursday, members of the Riverside County Gang Task Force, the Temecula Police Department’s Detective Bureau, Special Enforcement Team and Problem Oriented Policing Team, as well as several other specialized task forces served 14 search warrants at locations in and around the city of Temecula related to the previously indicated criminal acts.

As a result, large quantities of illegal narcotics, numerous firearms and large amounts of U.S. currency

On Aug. 3, 2015, the class action alleges, AAC disclosed in its 10-Q SEC that the four said individuals had been indicted for seconddegree murder and dependent adult abuse, and that “if the defendants were to be convicted, however, the

loss could be material.”

AAC’s stock plunged on Aug. 4, 2015, falling by 39 percent after at least two websites reported on the murder charges, according to the complaint.

sausage combined with sweet pineapple flavors. Of course, fans can build their own hot dog or sausage creations with the ever growing list of toppings.

“Last week, we added mushrooms to our list,” Swanger said.

“It’s always fun to see just how high people can top their hot dogs or sausages.”

Along with the multiple specialty dogs and sandwiches, Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs also makes their own hand-cut French fries, onion rings, and homemade potato chips.

“We consider ourselves farm to table here, even though our farm is in Arizona,” she said. “Everything is homemade here in the shop.”

Side dishes for the gourmet offerings are just as one would expect from a corner hot dog shop, with the added benefit of Swanger’s special touch.

here is a new name in gourmet hot dogs in Temecula, and a new attitude behind your neighborhood hangout. South Temecula has many things, but corner hangouts for after a sports game, a beer softball league, or a place for teams to host their latest fundraiser are in short supply.

Enter Suzette Swanger, mother and Temecula resident, who saw a restaurant in crisis and stepped in to take it to the next level.

“We purchased Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs over five months ago,” Swanger said, “and it’s been a heck of a ride since.”

This hot dog shop has changed hands a few times, but Swanger has that special something to make sure that all who enter to try Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs will return again, with friends and family in tow.

Inside, it’s like being invited to a family barbecue – complete with checkered table cloths, mountains of napkins for the juicy dogs and sandwiches and ample supplies of squeezable mustard and ketchup. A jukebox on the wall plays fun, classic or recent hip tunes, depending on the crowd. Regulars hang out at the bar. Families at the tables, ordering hand-dipped sweet corn dogs or baskets of home made potato chips.

Remember, when you come in to Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs, bring the family and prepare to mind your manners during the big game.

“We initiated a ‘Bad Word Box’ for anyone caught swearing at the bar when kids are present,” Swanger said, thumbing through

the stack of bills. “It’s a relatively new idea and fun for those in the know. At the end of the month we plan on donating the funds raised to a local charity.”

Behind the bar, tap handles range from backyard barbecue cheap beer – Pabst Blue Ribbon – that will more than likely always remain on tap, according to Swanger, to featured craft brew, such as the Petaluma based brewer Lagunitas IPA. Regionally famous for their India Pale Ale, this well balanced beer is now featured at Devil Dogs.

With caramel malt barley to mellow the hop flavors, Lagunitas is one for beer lovers to try.

“I love having friends over, cooking and entertaining. Devil Dogs has become a natural extension of that,” she said.

Lunch time at this hot dog shop finds locals at the many tables or hanging out at the comfortable bar seating. TVs have multiple games on, showcasing college football on a September morning. The menu is chock full of gourmet hot dogs, such as the bacon-wrapped Sonoran Dog, or the Portuguese Hawaiian Sausage, with spicy Mad Mike’s

A whimsical example of “farm to table,” Suzette Swanger shows how the potatoes from their grower transform into the thinly sliced potato chips they make and serve daily at Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs.

a kick and just the right balance of sweet, salt, and heat with the addition of paprika and pimento.

Bringing Mad Mike’s Sausages into the mix was a natural choice for Swanger, making gourmet hot dogs the order of the day. From mild to wild, the big name in local sausage can be fully tasted here.

“Mad Mike’s adds that amazing flavor for every dog and sausage, except those listed as Vienna Beef hot dogs,” she said. “His chicken sausage is simply the best I’ve ever tasted.”

The gourmet Sonoran Dog, a bacon-wrapped 8-inch hot dog, topped with refried beans, flavorful homemade guacamole, pico de gallo and drizzled with sour cream all on a sweet hot dog bun will satisfy lovers of the traditional Mexican hot dog. Swanger’s guacamole will have you begging for the recipe though it’s a trade secret.

The hand-cut chips are an ideal side for this dish, salted, light and crisp, not greasy in any way.

“We’re becoming famous for our chips,” she said.

Fans and friends of Devil Dogs can come for any game, any time, and the television will never be turned off before the game is done.

“We won’t throw people out just because it’s after our closing time, if the game goes long,” she said.

“The name, ‘Devil Dogs’ is a

United States Marine Corps reference, though our family isn’t in the military,” she said. “We kept that name because we are proud to be Americans, and of our soldiers in this military town. That’s why we decided to focus on Patriot Day for a raffle and fundraiser.”

The donations for this fundraiser, to raise funds toward the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command Foundation are growing daily.

“We are big fans of this local charitable foundation that raises funds for local Marine families,” she said. “That, and with Patriot Day coming, we knew we needed to do something to help.”

The Devil Dogs Gourmet Hot Dogs fundraiser will run from Friday, Sept. 11 through Tuesday, Sept.

15 with all proceeds benefitting the MARSOC Foundation. Raffle items will include Mad Mike’s American Gourmet Products, a golf package, and a guitar donated by Pabst Blue Ribbon.

“When we learned about the MARSOC Foundation, we knew we needed to do something to draw attention to this organization,” she said.

South honored by fellow artists in Menifee Bill Zimmerman Special to Valley News Take a look at Menifee’s art movement. The city enjoys its successful and active Arts Council.

Look closer. You now see people, the volunteers that make it happen.

One such volunteer is Carol South, who is being honored by the art organization for the leadership role she played.

Traditionally, art organizations are volunteer-based. They are formed to benefit local artists in a community. The efforts are a labor of love, with members coming together to plan and host events that promote the arts. Arts Council Menifee is no exception.

The area’s local artists have benefitted from the vision and efforts of Carol South, an artist herself, whose work is greatly admired by her peers. South is one of the organization’s founding members and was instrumental in creating the art gallery that adorns the walls of the Kay Ceniceros Community Center.

She has served as the Co-Chair of Arts Council Menifee’s Visual Arts Division that has grown in numbers since inception. South recently retired from the position, and has been succeeded by fellow artist and friend Linda Morrison who now heads the division.

While coordinating the gallery and events, South participated as one of its artists, displaying her

work for the public to view. She still shows her original paintings along with her line of unique greeting cards. Some of her cards include original hand painted images, which can be personalized upon request.

Viewers instantly notice that South’s artwork is from a perspec-

variety of media including watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, colored pencil, collage, printmaking and mixed media. She finds that the subject matter influences her selection of media.

South’s early art training equipped her with the skills to produce lifelike portraits and to hand render images in realistic detail, work that has earned numerous awards.

As a small child growing up in New Mexico, her introduction to painting was by her mother, an award-winning professional photo colorist who applied transparent oils to sepia-toned portrait photographs.

This early instruction has enabled her to produce lifelike portraits.

Along with creating stunning artwork, South has played a contributory role in the development of the arts in her community. When she first moved to Menifee, she founded the Oasis Fine Arts Group and served as the group’s president for four years. She is also a member of the Fallbrook Art Association.

“It gives me great pleasure to see all of the activities here in Menifee that promote the arts, and I have been thrilled to be a part of it all,” South said.

Zimmerman is a member and past president of the Arts Council Menifee.

tive foreign to most of us. “I found real inspiration while visiting other countries,” she said. Her travels included a Kenyan safari where she photographed wildlife in their native surroundings. Those images provide a reference as she creates “Into Africa,” a series of wild animal il-

lustrations specially framed using borders that simulate the detailed designs of Masai beadwork. This group of works includes use of watercolor and oil, as well as unique etched intaglio and linocut printing techniques.

Entertainment

Local barbershop music chorus performs at Temecula Public Library to large audience

The Wine Valley Harmonizers sing four-part barbershop harmonies under the directorship of Sang Park, far right, at the Temecula Public Library on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 6. The event attracted a crowd of over 70 people. For more information on this Temecula-based chorus, visit www.winevalleyharmonizers.org.

Cuvée Club to merge with Vail Ranch Steakhouse in Temecula Ron Walton, owner of the Vail Ranch Steakhouse restaurant, has been in negotiations with Cuvée Club partners, Collin Rand and Dave Neugart, to sell the business located at 27600 Jefferson Ave. in Temecula. Their agreement is in process and plans for transition of ownership are underway.

Walton, a veteran restauranteur (also owner of Texas Lil’s In Old Town Temecula) who turned 76 this year is looking to “slow down” a little from his typical day-to-day, hands-on operating. When asked why the Cuvée Club, he commented, “I see great potential and promise in the Cuvée Club, and with these two young professionals [Rand and Neugart] at the helm, it has what it takes to be a long-lasting staple for our community. I’ve even joined as a founding member.”

The Cuvée Club, revives the “ratpack” cabaret aura and supper club sophistication, and welcomes back an era of class and style. Both Rand and Neugart feel the Vail Ranch Steakhouse venue provides a great platform for their vision.

Tyson Cronmiller, director of operations for the Cuvée Club said, “Current Vail Ranch patrons can expect world-class entertainment at the Cuvée Club, as well as exceptional cuisine and service to match.”

Once the Cuvée Club takes possession, the plans include a $400,000 renovation to the restaurant. Rand, managing partner, said that they will be “adding a full patio with a cigar/brandy lounge and expanding the stage. We want to give it a ‘fresh’ look.”

Official date for the transition has not been disclosed, but Rand mentioned the projection is before the end of the year. “We are sensitive to all of the banquets and special events already booked at Vail Ranch. We want to ensure the current clientele is taken care of professionally during this transition, and we will honor all signed guest agreements under the Vail Ranch brand.”

Dave Neugart, general partner and newest addition to the Cuvée Club team said, “When Vail Ranch came on the radar as a location, it was a game changer for the Cuvée Club investment opportunity. The investment opportunity we have to offer is quite remarkable…our investors, present and future are thrilled to be moving into Vail Ranch.”

The Cuvée Club is actively seeking additional investors. For more information on the Cuvée Club’s investment opportunity, send inquiries to email@theCuvéeclub.com.

‘Fiddler on the Roof’ reopens Old Town Temecula Community Theater

“Fiddler on the Roof” main character, Tevye (John Edward Clark) delivers what promises to be a memorable performance, according to backstage buzz.

“Stars of the ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ show are Broadway caliber,” stated Theater Manager Bea Barnett.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer For six months, the Old Town Temecula Community Theater has been dark. The exterior was shrouded for repairs and many companies that call the location their home performed all summer at locations around the city. Now, the city of Temecula invites all to the grand re-opening of the theater with the Temecula Valley Player’s rendition of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

“We packed up the trunks, the elephants and wandered the city like gypsies,” Theater Manager Bea Barnett said. “What we learned from our time out and about at the city’s amphitheaters, recreation centers, is that people love our theater. They’ve been waiting for us to come home.”

TVP will launch the fall season on Sept. 10, with “Fiddler on the Roof.” In what was TVP’s most well-attended performance five years ago, this local theater troupe promises to rekindle heart, hearth, and home showcasing some of the valley’s best entertainers.

“There’s nothing like a night at the theater,” Barnett said. “TVP is knocking it out of the park, with Broadway quality stars and a night out at the theater that is better than any TV show or movie.”

With book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Brock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, “Fiddler on the Roof” promises to touch the Old Town Community Theater audience with its humor, warmth

“The children are the future of the theater,” according to Theater Manager Bea Barnett. “Temecula Valley Players has selected some Angela Burch photos amazing shows for 2015/2016 season.”

At the Temecula Valley Players Open House, the theater group showcased portions of “Fiddler on the Roof” for family and friends.

Sets constructed will be moved to the newly reopened Old Town Community Theater stage.

and honesty, according to Patti Drew, public relations manager for TVP. “This universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon,” Drew said. “Set in the little village of Anatevka in the early 1900s, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ centers on a poor dairyman – Tevye (John Edward Clark), his wife Golde (Karin Gittins) and five daughters (Gina Maria Cioffi, Sydnee Davis, Emily Ramos, Riley Clark and Kaysee French).”

With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing

anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.

Memorable songs, “Matchmaker,” and “If I were a Rich Man” will leave the audience humming, according to the buzz backstage from the theater group.

“The amazing artistic team of Terri Miller Schmidt, director, Jacquelyn Peterson, musical director and Cheri Kheler, choreographer, have brought to life this story of struggle both political and religious with wonderful characterization, beautiful vocals, lively dancing,” Drew said.

“Set designer Neil Kapple has created a wonderful theatrical experience for the audience,” Drew said.

For the audience, a few interior

surprises await, with the addition of new carpeting for the stairs and upgraded lighting.

Performances are Sept. 10-27, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Ticket prices $10 Thursdays for seniors, students, teachers, military (with proper ID) or $15 Fridays, any age, any seat in the parterre.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Landscape Design Principles - Part 2

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Design Columnist Hello neighbors and fellow gardeners! This week I’m continuing with the rest of some basic landscape design principles for you. Hopefully these will help you at least make some minor adjustments in your garden, either now or in the future, or if it’s just a bit much for you to take on, do call a professional in. If you missed last week’s article, it should be available online now so please do read that first before continuing on here.

Last week I discussed unity, repetition, color and balance and this week I will talk a little about the remaining basic concepts of line, proportion, simplicity and transition. So, let’s start with line.

What do we mean by that? Line is one of the more structural principles of landscape design. It can mostly be related to the way beds, walkways, and entryways move and flow. Straight lines are forceful and direct while curvy lines have a more natural, gentle, flowing effect.

You may want to add curves to a yard that is very square/rectangular to “soften” the look, and whatever you do here with your “lines” will then also come into play with “repetition” – you want to repeat those types of lines throughout your landscape, be they square, flowing or even circular in your design that creates “unity.” Starting to see how it all goes together here?

Next on the list is proportion and this is an important one (aren’t they all?) and has to do with size. You want things to be “in proportion” to what is around them or what is already there. Let’s say you have a smaller sized home, you do not want to put in a pine or oak tree that’s going to get 150-feet high – that is totally out of proportion to the home.

Another good example, if you are creating a small courtyard garden, an enormous seven-foot garden statue placed in the center would be way out of proportion and a little tacky to say the least. Or a small four-foot waterfall and pond

A great example of proportion and line as well as transition.

placed in the center of a large open yard would get lost in the expanse.

Balance comes into proportion as well. You want to have plants that are proportionate to your property, house, hardscape and other plants already in the landscape.

I believe the next topic is pretty

self-explanatory – “simplicity,” it means exactly what it says – keep it simple, the more “cluttered” the look is, the more jumbled and less “cohesive” the less inviting it is to the eye. When you landscape and add one of these, one of those, dotted here and there, nothing

matching, as well as hardscape that doesn’t “go” with anything, no “theme,” it’s not very relaxing, and that’s what we want in our gardens isn’t it – to relax? The word busy comes to mind for that type

Seven steps to improve the odds of a good first time home buying experience Follow these seven steps and you’ll be well on your way to owning your own home.

John Occhi and Mike Mason Real Estate Columists Preparing to purchase a home can be a period of nerve-racking anxiety for any homebuyer. As a first time homebuyer you have a course in front of you that is sure to include uncertainty, excitement, confusion and frustration – at times all in the same day, maybe even in the same hour.

By arming yourself with preparation and knowledge you’ll have a much better chance of having a positive home buying experience by ultimately reaching your goal of fulfilling the American dream of owning your own home.

Know your credit The first and perhaps the most important step of preparing to buy your first home is to know and understand your credit. Reach out to the three big credit bureaus (TranUnion, Experian, Equifax) for a free copy of your credit report, which you’re entitled to, for free, once a year.

First, familiarize yourself with your credit history and make certain that everything is reported thoroughly and accurately. This should be an ongoing responsibility that you start well before you even think you’re ready to buy a home. By starting early, you’ll be able to take the time to make any corrections and continue to improve your credit score.

Let me help you. er Aft

credit score and you’ll find the hard work pays off with better mortgages and interest rates which can save you hundreds of dollars a month on your mortgage, once you finally get one.

Teamwork Buying a home requires a team of dedicated professionals. Perhaps the two most important are the real estate agent you’ll choose and the lender.

Choosing the right professionals is critical. Certainly an inexperienced first time home buyer should not have an inexperienced agent helping them through the process. Look for an individual that is imbedded in the local community where you want to live. He should have professional designations that indicate a pursuit for higher professional standards.

Your agent should be respected within the local real estate community as most transactions require the cooperation of at least two agents.

Friends and relatives do not make the best agent. Sure there is a loyalty factor that needs to be considered as commissions are in the thousands of dollars. Some of the worst transactions I have ever witnessed have had emotional attachments of an agent that was too close to the transaction.

It’s personal enough for the buyer and seller; your professionals should not be emotionally attached as well.

Remember, all real estate is local, and you’re agent should be too for so many reasons.

There are a number of good ways to find a good lender. Your bank or credit union probably offer a home purchase loan. There are lots of discount guys that advertise on the radio and TV and then there are those who come recommended by your agent.

A successful real estate transaction requires a lot of behind-the-scenes communication and coordination between the agent and loan officer so it may be best to consider your agent’s advice and check out one of their lenders of choice. The lender will value the relationship with the agent and go above and beyond to make certain the agent is happy with their performance so they continue to receive referrals. When you find a lender on your own, you are a one shot commission and may not receive the same level of service.

Preapproval The actual process of buying your first home does not start with searching for your dream home, unless you have the cash to buy outright. Experience tells us though that most first time home buyers will require a home loan to complete the transaction.

It’s important to be preapproved by a lender before you start house hunting. The worst thing any home buyer can do is look at the perfect home that they believe they can afford only to find out that the bank won’t loan them that much, for one reason or another.

Most home sellers in today’s market won’t even consider your offer without having already been approved for a loan. No one wants to take their home off the market only to find out two weeks later that you can’t qualify for the mortgage.

The difference between a prequalification and a preapproval is huge.

A lazy lender will often issue a prequalification letter or a “prequel” after only checking a buyers credit score. A preapproval is the process of the lender gathering all necessary documentation and verifying all aspects of the credit application, to include employment, income documentation and even taxes before issuing a preapproval letter will allow the home buyer and agent to focus on homes they know they can afford.

Budget When you find the right home, it’s

Bef

like love. You’ll know it and your agent will too as they’ll detect that twinkle in your eye whenever the home is mentioned. Just like falling in love, common sense is left at the curb. It’s important to know that the home you buy will fit your budget.

Just because you’re approved for one amount does not mean you have to spend every dime you’re approved for. Perhaps, with your credit score, income, down payment and debt to income ratio has you qualified for one amount that stretches your budget. Find a payment that makes you comfortable and stick with it.

Remember, the cost of paying for your new home is not just the principal and interest mortgage payment there will be property taxes and insurance and maybe even Private Mortgage Insurance.

Your lease Are you currently leasing a house or apartment? Know when your lease expires and what the penalties are if you break the lease. Buying a home is stressful enough and not having to worry about your current living arrangement is priceless.

Have the conversation with your landlord that you are in the process of shopping for and wanting to buy your own home. Perhaps, your landlord may be willing to sell you the home you are currently renting.

Ask your landlord if you can go to a month-to-month rental for up to six months, in case you might need it. You may be able to get a series of two-month extensions, as needed. Just understand there is a price for this and don’t balk when your landlord wants to charge you an extra 10 percent in rent.

Down payment assistance Many perceive these programs to only be available to low income buyers, but many are available for the mid-level income buyers as well through local and state housing authorities.

Some programs offer no-interest loans or grants, with a few conditions attached. When researching the various programs, be sure to ask for a list of lenders who will participate in the programs, as not all lenders will.

Inspect everything When you make the commitment to buy a home there is typically an

inspection contingency that allows you to inspect every aspect of the home.

You’ll want to know that the roof is good, the plumbing and electric systems are all to code and functioning properly. Check the foundation for cracks and leaks. Mold is a big issue today, look for any signs of water damage where mold may be growing behind the walls. Appliances and fixtures all need to be in working order. So many variables with any home, it’s important that you take the time and invest in good inspectors who will give you an unbiased opinion of the condition of the home you now have in escrow, because of all of your hard work in getting here.

Don’t forget the final walkthrough. Although due-diligence inspections leave room for negotiations, once you are ready to close escrow, the deed-is-done and the price is the price. What you want to make certain of is that the home is in essentially the same condition as when you first saw it and that everything it there, in place where it should be. Are the fixtures and appliances the same ones you saw?

Has there been any recent damage – maybe a hole in the wall caused by the movers? These are issues that need to be addressed before the close of escrow, otherwise you’ll probably find yourself with little option but to live with it and chalk it up to experience.

Take the time to plan your purchase and you should be very happy with the outcome. Rush any of the steps and you’re certain to have regrets.

Free plant exchange group to meet in Menifee Shelli DeRobertis Writer Barty Robarge, of Lake Elsinore, is legally blind but his vision of creating an online community for local plant lovers has grown to more than 1,500 members since its inception eight months ago.

Robarge is a self-described plant enthusiast who said he was on Facebook one day when he saw that Orange County had a plant-trading group.

That gave him the idea of starting an Inland Empire plant exchange,

The first half-hour of the exchange is allotted for setting up, Robarge said.

Of the six meetings held so far, the turnout has ranged from 40 people to more than 100, and Robarge said it’s like a money-free flea market.

“Nothing is sold at any of our events,” he said. “You make deals with people for plants or people just give them to you.”

A raffle for cash prizes is held at each exchange, of which 25 percent goes to help support the group.

The atmosphere is very casual,

so he said he began by posting an ad on Craigslist.

“It took off like a dynamo,” he said.

Plant Traders Inland Empire Ca Garden Trading Community is a garden exchange that holds bi-monthly events where members meet to trade seeds, seedlings, cuttings, plants, pots, planters, fruits and vegetables and nearly anything that others can use, grow or eat, Robarge said.

The next plant exchange is Sept.

12, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Louie’s Nursery, 27985 Wickerd Rd.

he said.

“You meet the people, create new friends, and know directly from the person you’re getting the plant from, on how they grew it,” he said.

Drought tolerant plants generally make up about two-thirds of the types of plants that are traded, but orchids and cuttings from plumerias are also popular amongst the group.

“We get every kind of plant you can think of,” he said. “I’ve seen people come in with a whole wagon full of orchids.”

Garden and vegetable fruits are also regularly traded at the gather-

ings, and Robarge said that any attendees of the events who don’t have plants to trade are encouraged to bring items such as bottled water, bagels or baked goods to trade.

“This is the most sharing, caring group of people you’ll ever meet,” he said.

To see more than 4,000 photos of the group’s plants and creative upcycled pieces, visit the Facebook page at https://m.facebook.com/ groups/Planttradersie/ To attend the event at Louie’s Nursery, send an email to ieplanttraders@gmail.com.

Variances Variances are available for medical needs, irrigated landscape area, new irrigated landscape area and other instances and are processed by the district’s Conservation Department.

• Flowing Faucet: 720 GPD to 8,640 GPD. • Leaking/Running Toilet: 144 GPD to 8,640 GPD. • Broken Sprinkler: 7,200 GPD to 28,800 GPD. • Concealed Leaks/Broken Mainline: 720 GPD to 28,800 GPD.

Water consumption and leak facts PERRIS—By installing more efficient water fixtures and regularly checking for leaks, households can reduce daily indoor per capita water use by about 35 percent to about 45.2 gallons per day, according to the Eastern Murrieta Water District. Following are facts about water usage and leaks.

Kitchen Hand washing uses approximately 2 gallons per minute.

A high efficiency dishwasher uses between 4 to 6 gallons per load. You can consume up to 35 percent less water by doing a full load of dishes, which have not been pre-rinsed, in your dish-

Laundry High efficiency clothes washers use an average of 8 gallons per load, standard washing machines use up to 40 gallons per load.

washer instead of by hand.

Bathroom High efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, nonefficient toilets use up to 5 gallons per flush.

A silent toilet leak can be as small as 30 gallons per day. Larger leaks can be up to 6 gallons per minute, equivalent to 11 billing units per day, High efficiency shower heads use 2 GPM, or 20 gallons for a 10-minute shower. Non-efficient shower heads use up to 12 GPM, or 120 gallons for a 10-minute shower, equal to the daily allocation of two people.

Landscape Typical residential sprinkler systems with pop-up spray heads will use approximately 2 GPM, per head. To estimate consumption, multiply the number of heads by 2, then by the minutes (run time). This will give you the approximate gallons used per cycle.

A broken main or lateral line 1” or smaller will waste between 1,200 to over 3,000 gallons per hour.

EVMWD offers rate assistance program to qualified customers LAKE ELSINORE—Low income customers of Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District will now have the opportunity to receive assistance on their water bill. EVMWD is accepting applications for the Rate Assistance for Residents of Elsinore Valley program from qualified individuals and families.

At a recent board meeting, the EVMWD board of directors approved the RARE program for its customers who face financial challenges in paying their water bill.

The funds for the program were made available through an exist-

ing lease between EVMWD and cellphone companies with towers located on district property. EVMWD will receive up to $350,000 this year to fund the program for qualified customers.

“We believe the best way to spend this additional non-rate money is to assist our low income customers with a break on their bill,” said Phil Williams, president of the EVMWD board of directors, “We hope that it will bring some relief to those who struggle financially while doing their best to conserve water.”

Common leaks in GPM • Dripping Faucet: .007-.14 GPM. • Flowing Faucet: .5 GPM to 6 GPM. • Leaking/Running Toilet: .1 GPM to 6 GPM. • Broken Sprinkler: 5 GPM to 20 GPM. • Concealed Leaks/Broken Mainline: .1 GPM to 20 GPM.

Common leaks in BU based on 24 hours a day for 30 days of flow • Dripping Faucet: .4 BU to 8 BU. • Flowing Faucet: 28 BU to 346 BU. • Leaking/Running Toilet: 5 BU to 346 BU. • Broken Sprinkler: 288 BU to 1155 BU. • Concealed Leaks/Broken Mainline: 28 BU to 1155 BU.

In gallons per day • Dripping Faucet: 10 GPD to 200 GPD.

The RARE program requires that applicants meet the existing guidelines of the Southern California Edison or Southern California Gas CARE programs.

Customers must also use less than 5 billing units (CCF) a month.

Funding is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis for those who qualify. Qualified customers who meet the program requirements will need to reapply annually for the program. Complete information is available at www. evmwd.com/RAREprogram.

EMWD moves into Stage 4b of drought response plan PERRIS—Eastern Municipal Water District’s Board of Directors voted on Wednesday, Sept. 2 to move into Stage 4b of the District’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan effective that day. The move reduces outdoor water budgets by 30 percent.

Stage 4b allows for reductions of up to 50 percent in outdoor (Tier 2) water budgets as a response to California’s ongoing drought.

The changes will be effective no sooner than Sept. 16. EMWD’s Board delegated to staff the determination on the effective date based on the outcome of a pending meeting with State Water Resources Control Board enforcement staff.

The 30 percent cut in outdoor water budgets is from the baseline figure for each individualized customer account. EMWD has been in Stage 4a – which includes a 10 percent reduction in outdoor budgets and an elimination of Tier 3 pricing – since June 1. Moving to Stage 4b is an additional 20 percent cut for a total of 30 percent.

When it moved the district into Stage 4a on May 8, EMWD’s Board advised that it would consider moving to Stage 4b as early as September if customers had not achieved the targeted reduction level.

While great strides were made, the move to Stage 4b was necessitated because customers failed to meet the State Water Resources Control Board-required 28 percent reduction in water usage. EMWD customers conserved 15 percent in June, 27 percent in July and 18

percent in August, resulting in a cumulative reduction of 20 percent.

“We will continue to work with our residential customers, government agencies and businesses to help them continue to reduce their water usage in order to help us meet the reduction goals,” EMWD President Randy Record said.

All customers are encouraged to stay within their new water budgets. Those customers who exceed their water budgets will be subjected to higher price points.

Customers who remain within their new budget will see no increase in pricing on their monthly bills.

As part of its ongoing conservation efforts, EMWD is encouraging its residential, business and governmental customers to take part in a variety of rebate programs that are available, including those for smart irrigation controllers, water-efficient sprinkler nozzles and other devices.

EMWD also encourages members of the community to download its free water waste reporting app for mobile phones or to contact its Water Waste Hotline at (951) 9283777, ext. 3306, if water waste is identified within the community.

“Decisions like this are difficult, in large part because we know the tremendous efforts our customers have made throughout the past decade,” Record said. “We are in unprecedented times and while we hope this drought ends soon, we sincerely appreciate the continued sacrifices our customers continue to make.”

Home & Garden / Real Estate LANDSCAPING from page C-1 of garden. So, remember to keep it simple, by utilizing the other principles here such as repetition, color (which also creates “harmony”) and unity.

When you think of those Asian “Zen” gardens, and how peaceful they are, you’re thinking about “simplicity.” They don’t over crowd the garden with too many different types, colors, and styles of plants, which create a relaxing effect on the beholder – so try to pick your plants and hardscape for simplicity to enjoy a relaxing vista in your garden.

Last, but certainly not least, is transition. What transition means is moving from one area to the next – does it “flow” nicely or do you feel like you’re going from, for example, Mexico to Sweden via Japan? Inside your home, hopefully, you try to have smooth transitions between living areas, styles, themes, whatever your taste is, you want some of that in each room/area – this is basically the same concept you want to achieve outside in your garden. To achieve

good “transition” from one area to the next you might want to incorporate some of the same plants in different areas, or you might achieve it through your hardscape, say brick running through pathways and incorporated into raised beds. You might have a particular rose variety, say “Iceberg” in various spots in both the front and backyards, this, as you should now know, covers several design concepts, as well as

before, and I think it’s very important in a garden to have one. A focal point can be a large urn, a waterfall, a pine tree, a statue, a fountain, a “specimen” plant such as a yucca or agave, it’s your decision what will be the focal point in your yard, but do have one or possibly more than one, depending on the viewpoint and size of yard.

I hope you have learned a little more now about how a landscape

I believe, and the way I personally work, is that a yard, both back and front, can be composed of various “garden rooms” but how you tie those rooms together has a lot to do with “transition”, “unity” and “harmony.”

Mid-season rose pruning and watering tips

The circles show where to prune to leave outwardfacing buds.

Frank Brines Rose Care Columnist Summer temperatures and humidity have been all over the map, varying from week to week, never lasting too long. My roses have done quite well using my prescribed “desert practice” for summer. If you are participating in this practice – allowing a summer of rest for your roses – you still have several weeks to take it easy before a mid-season pruning.

however, one can only assume it will look a little like the past, especially with the weather. That being said, I would suggest continuing this protocol until performing a mid-season pruning the second or third week of September. If you do this, you can possibly have two more bloom cycles this calendar year. If you would like roses for a special occasion, count back six to seven weeks from that date; the date you land on will be when you need to prune. Remember, a midseason pruning is light to medium,

Never remove more than a third of the plant.

I’ve included two photos to illustrate a little of what is involved in this mid-season pruning. After pruning restart your feeding program. I recommend organic types and alternating with fish emulsions.

affect the other emitters. The simple solution is to replace it.

It’s not too early to start thinking about which roses you will remove and what you’ll replace them with.

Go ahead and request catalogs from rose suppliers – they’re always available. If you haven’t mulched recently, estimate the amount of composted mulch you’ll need in order to cover your garden beds four inches deep and plan to buy it for this coming winter or spring.

A common problem when hot, dry, dusty conditions prevail is spider mites. This topic was covered in a previous care column which you can find on TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org newsletter; look for Care for September 2013.

sium. This will assist resistance to any stress and encourage stronger root systems.

When temperatures continue to be in the 90s, 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 become seriously stressed and even damaged. I suggest that with water use restrictions that California is experiencing, HT rose bush can survive with three gallons of water twice per week. A layer of four inches of mulch will greatly reduce evaporation of soil moisture. This year the soil dries out more quickly than in previous years due to less water being applied as in previous years and, in general, the dryer soil environment. With potted roses this is even more critical. Assess conditions every morning. Look for wilted or dry, crispy foliage. If you discover it soon enough dousing with plenty of water 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

Murrieta and Finland-based company partner to help autism community Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer About 30 members of the local autism community attended a demonstration of a wearable locator device at the Comprehensive Autism Center in Temecula on Thursday, Aug. 27. The device, developed

by Finnish technology company Yepzon, Inc., can help find lost special needs children thanks to its wearable Bluetooth, GPS and mobile network technology.

The Nicholas Foundation is one of three local nonprofit organizations focused on helping persons with special needs and will be actively using the devices to improve the safety of their members. Mark Anselmo, founder of the ONF, discussed the value of device after the demonstration.

“Yepzon put on a great presentation and really highlighted the tracking capabilities of the GPS device,” Anselmo said. “The power to track someone up to six feet with a virtually indestructible waterproof device is a great benefit to families with children on the spectrum that either tend to be runners, elopers or have no fear in crowds and can easily become separated.”

According to Yepzon, Inc.’s CEO Juha “John” Kiesi, their product can help people track what matters most to them via smartphone. Designed for belongings, this locator and correlating app can help find lost children with autism

and elderly patients with dementia.

“We are honored and excited to work with such an energetic, caring and passionate community,” Kiesi said. “Yepzon wanting to work with groups with the most urgent need was a natural choice.”

Regarding working with the city of Murrieta, Kiesi was honored with the attention and expedience of launching his locator programs.

“The city of Murrieta’s Economic Development Department has played an important role by getting everyone together and making it possible to start these programs in record-breaking time,” Keisi said.

Yepzon, Inc. provides accurate location information through a mobile application for iOS, Android and Windows smartphones.

Parents can use the device, according to Keisi, to keep track of their kids in the backyard or at school, to give relatives of the elderly peace of mind, to locate family pets or make sure golf clubs are never lost.

Anselmo discussed his son and how the device could help his family.

“With Nicholas’s limited speaking capability, if he were to get separated inadvertently or left the house without notice, it would be very difficult to have someone find him and understand where he lived,” Anselmo said. “Many children on the spectrum that become missing are found in bodies of water due to their attraction to them, and unfortunately many do

not know how to swim. This device with GPS mapping technology will allow the autistic individual to be found and to provide their location to authorities with a simple text to their smartphone, with even more priority if it looks like the person is near a body of water.”

The city of Murrieta recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an economic development strategic partnership between Murrieta and Verte Oy, Finland to promote business and other linkages – specifically linkages to high-technology companies in the Nokia region of Finland.

“Murrieta is very excited to work with this company out of Finland,” said Bruce Coleman, economic

development director for the city of Murrieta. “We are committed to becoming a technology hub for the region and are excited about our partnership with Finland and with Yepzon. Not only that, but it helps to provide a needed solution for many of our residents and improves their quality of life.”

Yepzon, Inc. will continue working with the city of Murrieta and the Murrieta Police Department on their pilot programs with the help of the CAC, ONF and Go Bananas.

Currently, Yepzon, Inc. products are available through Amazon. com. For more information, visit www.Yepzon.com.

Electing to take Social Security Benefits is a decision that every retiree will face. The question is, when to start and how to maximize the benefit? With less than 22 percent of financial professionals understanding Social Security and how to properly integrate benefits into a financial plan, finding help with the decision can be a problem* With Social Security accounting for more than 60 percent of many retirees future income, determining an efficient claiming strategy becomes paramount.** A retirement income plan is like a puzzle, and Social Security is one piece of the puzzle. The question is, “Where and how does Social Security fit into your puzzle?” It should dovetail and work in concert

with the other assets and sources of income available to you. Deciding how to arrange the pieces of the puzzle in the most beneficial order is an important decision.

Some of the tips and information that will be offered at the event include: what the Social Security office doesn’t tell you and how to get that information for free; when it makes sense to delay benefits and when it does not – and why; why checking your earnings record for accuracy

is important and what can happen if you don’t; how to coordinate your benefits with those of your spouse for maximum potential; reducing or eliminating taxes on your Social Security retirement benefits and why that is important; and ways to integrate your Social Security benefits with your overall retirement plan and how doing so can affect both.

“I deal with the good, bad, and the really ugly, but I enjoy my job!” said Debbie Lee, city clerk for the city of Wildomar, a seven-year old entity. Lee recently educated the Wildomar Chamber members on the responsibilities and functions of the city clerk.

Lee has been a city clerk for 25 years and has worked for the cities of Highland, Aliso Viejo and Laguna Niguel.

Three of the four cities she has clerked for were new cities.

“Wildomar is by far the most challenging financially,” she said.

Lee recounted some interesting tidbits of history. The municipal clerk, along with the tax collector, is the oldest of public servants in local government, tracing the function back before Biblical times. Ancient Greece’s city secretary read official documents publicly, prefacing each meeting with a curse upon anyone who would seek to deceive the people.

In Acts 19:22-41, the story is told of the town clerk who saved two of Paul’s followers from riotous conduct.

Even kings have descended from clerks. In France in the eighth century, the mayor of the palace handled all the clerical and administrative tasks for the king, including collecting taxes and fees, publishing documents, keeping state records and assisting in the enforcement of the king’s justice.

In 751 A.D., King Childeric was deposed and his assistant Pippin, the mayor of the palace, became the monarch of France. Pope Gregory of Rome also made him a Patrician of Rome.

Pippin was the father of Charlemagne, the first Holy Emperor of Rome, who in successive generations produced the kings of France and the emperors of Germany and Austria.

The title “clerk” is derived from the Latin “clericus.” During the Middle Ages, scholarship and writing were limited to the clergy and became synonymous with scholar. They thus served as notary, secretary, accountant and recorder.

The beginning of the office of city clerk has been traced back to 1272 in the history of the corporation of Old London.

One of the first appointed offices in colonial America was the town clerk who recorded all the vital records for births, marriages, deaths, appointments, deeds, meetings, elections of officers, grants of land, regulations governing animals, collection of taxes and expenditures of town funds. The Puritan town of Woodstock, Mass. gave their appointed town clerk 20 acres of land, a fee of 12 pence for each town meeting, and six pence for each grant filed.

Today, the municipal clerk is the hub of local government, serving as the link between community residents and their government. The city council provides vision and direction for the community’s future, establishing policy.

The city manager manages the services provided to the city and the taxpayers.

The city clerk ensures that the processes are transparent to the public, complies with federal, state, and local regulations,

and is properly recorded. This tri-part relationship created a balance in local government.

Thousands of statutes and regulations exist which protect democracy and provide a system of “checks and balances.” These laws are often complex, constantly changing and evolving; it is the city clerk’s responsibility to ensure compliance. The position requires the experience, training, and knowledge to understand and administer these laws.

“It requires lots of on-the-job training,” Lee said. “You can’t go to college and get a degree in ‘city clerk.’”

There is an International Organization of Municipal Clerks that encourages a code of ethics and mentorship. City clerks can also become a certified municipal clerk or master municipal clerk.

The city clerk also functions as an elections official, local legislation auditor, municipal officer, political reform filing officer and maintains city records and archives, handles public inquiries and relationships, and provides support services to the city council. Lee also functions as human resources manager and risk manager for the city of Wildomar.

“Elections are my favorite part of the job; one of the greatest things on earth is that we get to vote!” Lee exclaimed.

“One of our newest roles is that we can now solemnize weddings, just like the mayors can.”

An eminent political scientist, Professor William Bennett Munro, stated in 1934, “No other office in municipal service has so many contracts. It serves the mayor, the city council, the city manager, and all administrative departments without exception. All of them call upon it daily for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”

“We are very transparent,” Lee joked.

“Wildomar has no money. This city is a joy to work for. It helps to have a great team. I have great rapport with Gary Nordquist, our city manager; he is one of the best I have ever worked with.

Wildomar is in a challenging situation financially but has a bright future and I’m proud to be both a resident here and its city clerk.”

Debbie Lee provided much of this article’s background information.

Three Temecula teens earn the Boy Scouts’ highest honor of Eagle Scout Brenda Tullis Special to Valley News Three local teens recently became Eagle Scouts and joined the ranks of astronaut Neil Armstrong, former U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy and Gerald Ford and Hollywood celebrities Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and Jimmy Stewart.

In recognized courts of honor, Chaparral High School graduates Jeremy Duvall, Dallin Hardy and Kenny Hribar each received the esteemed Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of America, an award that only three percent of eligible scouts have earned since its inception in 1912.

Chalking up more than 800 hours of community service between them, the teens were required to earn merit badges in camping, cooking, cycling, hiking, swimming, citizenship in the community, citizenship in the nation and citizenship in the world, communications, lifesaving, emergency preparedness, environmental science and sustainability, family life, first aid, personal fitness and personal management.

Duvall said his Eagle project entailed constructing a chain-link fence along the back side of a sand volleyball court at Rancho Damacitas Children and Family Services, pouring a 10’x10’ concrete slab then constructing an outdoor stor-

age shed to place on top.

“I am glad to be able to join my four older brothers who have also achieved this rank,” he said. “It was a challenge completing all of the merit badges and executing an Eagle project, but it was well worth my time and effort.”

Hardy said he also chose to serve Rancho Damacitas Children and Family Services. With his dad’s help, he created blueprints, gathered the materials needed and built elaborate garden boxes for the nonprofit organization’s outdoor

concourse.

“Looking back now, I can see that all the work and time I put into becoming an Eagle Scout was worth it,” he said. “I’m so thankful for the support and guidance from my family and friends. I wouldn’t have become an Eagle Scout without that support.”

Hribar said his Eagle project consisted of beautifying the local VFW post compound. He rearranged the parking lot by moving the cement parking structures, changed the lights for the American flag display,

Measure AA Citizens Oversight Panel: Working on MSJC’s Future SAN JACINTO—The panel of citizens appointed to oversee the expenditure of funds for the expansion of Mt. San Jacinto College has been hard at work navigating governmental regulations related to future construction. The group’s second meeting will be held in September to discuss Measure AA. Committee Chairman Bob Botts said the group held its organizational meeting in June and the team is energized to help take MSJC into the future.

“These are really exciting times for the college and especially for the current and future students,” Botts said. “These funds will greatly expand the capacity and teaching capabilities at all of the district’s campuses and it will make higher education more accessible to all of our communities.”

The nine-member MSJC Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee was approved by the MSJC Board of Trustees in May. A citizens’ committee is required by Prop. 39 because of the passage of Measure AA. The $295 million facilities bond was approved by voters in November 2014. MSJC appointed two citizens more than what is required to ensure

diverse representation. They were selected from a pool of more than 20 candidates.

The general duties of the committee are to keep the public informed of bond expenditures, review the expenditures and to produce and annual report.

The members are Botts, member at large, Banning; Dennis Anderson, MSJC Support Organization (MSJC Foundation Board), Hemet; Vice Chairman Amy Campbell, member at large, Temecula; Dee Cozart, business representative, San Jacinto; Darryl Drott, Taxpayers Association, Menifee; Brenda Maya Esparza, student representative, San Jacinto; Judy Guglielmana, Taxpayer Association, Lake Elsinore; Altie Holcomb, member at large, Menifee; and Salvador Valdivia, senior citizen’s representative, Beaumont.

Before the first shovel hits the ground, the district is conducting environmental impact reports at current sites and potential future sites to ensure the district meets regulations under the California Environmental Quality Act and the Division of the State Architect requirements. The studies should take about a year to complete.

While the first steps involve much of what is regarded as red tape, Botts said these early stages are critical to ensure the college district meets all of the legal requirements so it is prepared for big construction projects in the next three to five years.

“The college plans to leverage other state construction monies to increase the total amount of funding for college expansion to more than $500 million,” Botts said. “We need to make sure we meet every detail right now, dot all ‘I’s and cross all ‘T’s, so that we can position the district to capitalize on additional dollars and build full-steam ahead when we are ready. Our goal is to ensure the bond funds are spent where they should be, according to the Bond Measure, so that the district can serve the students of the future.”

The Independent Citizens Bond Oversight Committee meets quarterly. The next regular meeting is scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m. on Sept.

23 in Room 200 at the San Jacinto Campus, 1499 N. State St. in San Jacinto.

Temecula Education Foundation receives CID Grant to support arts and sciences curriculum in local schools TEMECULA—The Temecula Education Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation supporting almost 30,000 students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, has received a $2,500 Community Improvement Designation Grant from the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. CID funds will be used to supplement curriculum in the visual and performing arts and sciences in Grades K-12 in TVUSD schools.

weeded the compound and welded on a new gate.

“Achieving the Eagle was very time-consuming,” he said. “It took serious dedication and taught me a lot of time management skills because I learned to balance a scouting life, a religious life, a social life, a sports life and a school life.

It was hard but in the end it was so worth it.”

At their respective courts of honor Duvall chose Rick Chase and Scott Hardy to receive his mentor pins. Dallin Hardy chose Ron Rock and Rick Chase to receive mentor pins and Hribar honored Kevin Stengal with his mentor pin.

man with an infectious smile,” Stengal said. “His dedication and love for everything he does is why he is, and will always be very successful in life.”

“I have known all these young men for many years,” said Chase, who felt humbled to have been honored by two of them as a mentor, “and I can vouch for their goodness. I know they will all go on to do great and important things in their lives, touching many people on the way. I believe the real mentoring came from within the walls of their own homes. They have exceptional families who have reared them to be the great young men they are.”

HS Football: Big wins, surprise losses and overtime spoilers saturate southland in Week One

Kade Greeley (3) puts the Broncos on top early as he steps into the end zone ahead of the Beaver defenders on Friday, Sept. 4.

JP Raineri Sports Editor Week One across the valley is in the books and though some of the local teams already got their first game nerves out of the way during Zero Week, the rest made their appearances on Friday, Sept.

4, and the official start to the season has now come and gone and the scores are in.

In the Southwestern League, it was no shock to see Vista Murrieta (1-0) pick apart the visiting Ballard Beavers from Seattle, Wash., as the Broncos set a new school record putting up 65 points in the first half alone. Ballard would score in every quarter of the game, but could not overcome the huge first half deficit as the Broncos went on to win, 71-32. Kyle Williams had four catches for 261 yards and three first quarter touchdowns and also played some quarterback completing four passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Junior Karson Greeley started at quarterback for Vista Murrieta. He completed 4 of his 7 passes for 218 yards.

Vista Murrieta will be home to face Santiago on Friday, Sept. 11.

The Sharks are 0-2 after losing to Redlands and Santa Margarita.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Murrieta Valley (2-0) is emerging as a powerhouse in the Southwestern League after quickly taking control of their home opener against Citrus Hill, defeating the Hawks 44-21. The Nighthawks were led by quarterback Hank Bachmeier, who threw four touchdown passes completing 13 of his 22 passes for 269 yards. Sophomore receiver Marquis Spiker took three of his six passes caught into the end zone, finishing with 160 yards on the evening. The game was dedicated and played in the memory of teammate Diego Villareal, who passed away prior to the start of the season. Murrieta Valley will host Elsinore on Friday, Sept.

11. The Tigers are 0-2 and lost to Temecula Valley 39-15 last night.

Game time is set for 7 p.m.

The Great Oak Wolfpack took Riverside King to double overtime, but lost their second game of the young season, 23-17. Running Back Demetric Felton paved the way on the ground for the Wolfpack, rushing 24 times for 271 yards and one TD. Sophomore Joel Collins added a receiving touchdown in the third quarter, which is when King knotted the score at 14-14.

Great Oak would have a couple

of opportunities to win it in the fourth quarter especially when Demetric Felton took the ball into the end zone for what appeared to be the winning score, but a holding penalty sent it back. As time expired, Great Oak attempted a 48-yard field goal, but the kick was a little too much to right and sent the game into overtime.

Both teams would score on field goals and the score was 17-17 as they headed into double overtime.

A Great Oak fumble turned the ball over to King who would score on the third play of double overtime to win 23-17.

Great Oak (0-2) travels to Moreno Valley to play Rancho Verde (1-1) this week. The Mustangs are coming off a huge 49-26 victory over Murrieta Mesa, recap online and in this week’s sports section.

Other scores, with recaps in the pages following this story, include: Riverside Poly (1-0) over Chaparral, 35-30 and Temecula Valley (10) took down the Elsinore Tigers (0-2), 39-15.

In the Sunbelt League, Heritage bettered their record to 2-0 after taking out Los Osos, 35-14, while Lakeside picked up their first win of the season defeating Colton, 33-16. Paloma Valley struggled against Vista, losing their first game of the season, 61-17, as Perris also dropped their first as well to Notre Dame, 44-19. Temescal Canyon and Elsinore are still trying to recover after losing their second straight in as many weeks.

During Week Two action, Elsinore will travel to Murrieta to face the Nighthawks, Heritage will host La Quinta, Lakeside is home against Canyon Springs while Pacific is at Perris and Palm Springs is at Temescal Canyon. All games are set to start at 7 p.m.

Over in the Ambassador League, Linfield crushed Adelanto 46-0 as Zac Archer led the ground assault for the Lions with 96 yards on 19 carries and had one touchdown.

Simeon Burns caught 5 passes for 64 yards and had two touchdowns on the night, one on offense and had one interception pick-six on defense. Junior quarterback, Clay Maranville went 12 for 16 with 150 yards in the air. Linfield will be home to face Pasadena Polytechnic this week. The Panthers are unbeaten with a 2-0 record and have scored 80 points in their first two games while only giving up

In the South Valley League, Rancho Christian topped Hamilton (of the Freelance League), 49-26 to pick up their first win, while Calvary Murrieta picked up their second straight win, 31-14 over Ontario Christian. Temecula Prep dropped their first game to Chula Vista Lutheran, as Santa Rosa Academy took out the California School for the Deaf, 28-0. The other California team, the CMI Rough Riders, lost to Marshall, 23-16. Calvary Murrieta will be at Silver Valley this week, CMI will host Mountain Empire (6 p.m.), as Rancho Christian takes on Excelsior away, while Santa Rosa takes to the road, as well,

against Trinity (at TCHS). Game times are at 7 p.m.

Finally, in 8-man coverage, Cal Lutheran will face Calvin Christian this week after defeating Noli Indian 54-48 last week and Cornerstone Christian, who lost to Hillcrest Christian, 32-14 last week, will face Concordia at home this week. Game times are at 7 p.m.

Health Michelle’s Place facilitates free mammograms for Breast Cancer Awareness Month TEMECULA—In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Michelle’s Place will be facilitating free screening mammograms to those who qualify for assistance.

LifeStream eliminates tattoo deferral for potential blood donors

#1PHYSICAL THERAPY

in the Inland Empire Fastest Growing Physical Therapy Operation in California!

SAN BERNARDINO— LifeStream blood bank is altering its policy that currently defers potential blood donors with a tattoo for one year from the date of the most recent inking.

The new policy took effect on Monday, Aug. 31.

“Since the 2012 implementation of the “Safe Body Art Act” in California, body art establishments are required to register with local enforcement agencies and meet

strict criteria, including the use of sterile needles and non-reused ink,” said Joe Chaffin, M.D., vice president, chief medical officer for LifeStream.

“This has made the process safe in the eyes of most California blood banks. We are delighted to be able to accept donations from blood donors who have had body art applied in California registered facilities,” Chaffin said. “This will increase our pool of eligible donors,

Number of tech savvy seniors growing each year Technology maven Clara Tsao figures that nearly two-thirds of seniors over 65 are connected by computers and smartphones and that the number is growing at a rate of six percent a year, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. That’s a good thing for the nation’s aging population.

For one thing, most seniors, nearly 80 percent of them, live in

parts of the country where having a car is essential and many of them don’t get around much anymore because the older they get the less likely they are to drive themselves to doctor appointments and the such. So, online access to inexpensive call-a-ride services offers mobility. It also makes it easier to get food and medications delivered to their doors.

Menifee church begins book discussion group MENIFEE—Menifee United Church of Christ is starting a book discussion group. The group will discuss the book “The Heart of Christianity,” by the late theologian Marcus Borg, a retired professor of religion at Oregon State University.

“Marcus Borg was one of the most progressive theologians in Christianity,” Senior Minister Bill

Freeman said. “He took the Bible seriously, but not always literally.”

The group will meet at the church on Thursdays at 6 p.m. beginning on Sept. 10. The public is invited. Menifee UCC is located at 26701 McCall Blvd. in Menifee.

For more information, contact Freeman at (616) 796-5598.

Older Americans may have been slow to pick up on the advantages offered by 21st century technology, but they have come a long way in recent years.

HS Football: Rancho Verde spoils Ram’s home opener, Mesa loses 49-26 Erick Thompson Special to Valley News Murrieta Mesa came out impressively upon returning to the Mainland after their first week 39-0 win over St., Francis in Honolulu.

The Rams overcame a couple of false start penalties and a couple of tackles for losses during their 11-play, six-minute, 76-yard opening touchdown drive. Senior quarterback Peyton Uhl was nearly perfect completing 5 of 6 passes for 80-yards; including the 11-yard touchdown toss to junior wide receiver, Jacob Ray, in the right flat.

Rams senior kicker Mateo Thompson then converted a 25yard field goal attempt extending the lead to 10-0 with less than two minutes left in the first quarter.

Then, like a bad nightmare, Rancho Verde erupted for 35 unanswered points, including 28 in the second quarter.

Rancho Verde’s senior running back Jamal Scott rambled for 328 yards and 5 touchdowns to lead the Mustangs to a convincing 4926 victory at Ram Stadium during Week One action on Friday, Sept. 4.

Rancho Verde opened the 3rd quarter scoring less than two

minutes into the new half when Scott took an inside handoff and swept right 11-yards.

The Rams finally answered after a fake punt set up a 12-yard airstrike from Uhl to junior wide receiver Connor Saludares. The Rams PAT drifted wide left leaving the score 35-16. Scott slashed the Rams defense for another 1-play, 50-plus yard touchdown sprint.

This one was 57 yards from a similar read option to the right. Garcia added the PAT. Soon after, Mesa’s McKinley Ross darted for his own 80-yard scoring run. Sophomore kicker Sarah Thompson kicked the PAT for the Rams.

Rancho Verde concluded their scoring with a 4-yard fade pass from Stewart to junior wide receiver Bryan Thompson and Garcia’s kick late in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter was nearly entirely consumed by a deliberate, 19-play, 79-yard Rams drive.

They stayed exclusively in a double tight end, triple I formation. Sarah Thompson’s successful 31-yard field goal completed the scoring with less than 1-minute left.

Positives for each team included: no turnovers, several explosive 20-

plus yard plays and both offenses also had long, time consuming drives.

Rams senior cornerback Maxwell Scott earned defensive player of the game. Scott ended with six solo tackles (many in the open field,) nine total tackles, and a pass defense.

Senior Blake Johnson was named overall player of the game for Mesa. He finished as a fullback on offense and recorded nine tackles (four solo) one caused fumble and two sacks for 20 yards lost on defense as a linebacker.

On Friday, Sept. 11, Murrieta Mesa (1-1) will host Tahquitz (01), who lost to Palm Springs in Week Zero, 37-0. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

FALLBROOK— Friends, family, history and Fallbrook High School Warrior Baseball Program. What has come to be a summer tradition for former players of the championed Warriors Baseball Program took place again this past August. Teammates and coaches converged on Duke Snyder Field for the 5th annual FUHS Alumni Baseball Game.

Players ranging from graduating years 2014 back to 1986 took part in the 9-inning affair and it was tough to see any rust in the quality of play.

Many of the participants have continued their baseball careers into the collegiate and professional levels, while others have pursued promising careers in a wide range of fields.

“We were always told as players by our coaches that the baseball program (at Fallbrook) is going to make us better baseball players, but most importantly mold us into people of value, integrity, and drive and that is something that is evident here today,” said Sonny Hughey class of 2008.

“It’s great to catch up with friends and meet other alumni and see how well everybody is doing in their life path.”

The game this year was split up as

it has been done in the past into Even Graduating Years vs. Odd Graduating Years. The “Evens” won the game 4-3.

In the bottom of the 9th the “Odds” rallied to score two runs bringing the game to within one.

With the bases loaded and two outs Erik Castro came to the plate. It was an oddly similar situation he had found himself in several years back when playing Granite Hills in the semi-final match of the CIF Playoffs. At that time, Castro launched a ball over the fence and off the woodshop roof sending the Warriors to the CIF Championship.

However, this year he flew out to the right fielder Josh Way (2096) on a nifty pitch delivered by Chris Redo (2006).

The “Evens” have now won three out of the five contests. Sponsors of the game were the Fallbrook Ingold Sports Complex and Yogurt Palace.

It is the goal of the FUHS Baseball Alumni to partner with the Fallbrook High Baseball Boosters and Baseball Program in making this event one that will further support the current baseball program.

Those interested in connecting with the FUHS Baseball Alumni can email fhsbaseballalumni@gmail.com.

HS Football: Golden Bears manhandle Tigers, 39-15, in season opener

Tigers’ Anthony Reyes (22) takes a handoff up the middle during their preseason 39-15 loss to the Golden Bears.

Golden Bears running back Lika Palmer (2) had three touchdowns and over 160 yards on the ground in Ed Faith photo Temecula Valley’s 39-15 win over Tigers in Week One.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer Despite being the oldest matchup in the valley – commemorated by a Perpetual Trophy – it was a night of firsts at the 2015 Temecula Valley High School vs. Elsinore High School football game. The two powerhouses played the first game on the new turf at the recently renovated TVHS stadium. It was also the first game of the season for the 2015 Golden Bears and the team’s first win of the season.

The Elsinore Tigers had just come off a season-opening loss to Corona. “We helped them out a lot that game,” said Tigers Head Coach Tony Peralta. “We had four fumbles and two blocked punts deep in our own territory.”

They did have some highlights as running backs Anthony Reyes and Justin Davis combined for 267 yards and two touchdowns rushing.

On the defensive side of the ball, middle linebacker Andres Hermosillo notched 22 tackles. “We are a very young and inexperienced team, returning only one starter,” said Peralta, “but I am excited about our potential.”

TVHS Head Coach Rick Mey made the same observation about the Golden Bears. “We are young but talented. We are running a more basic defense because of that youth.

And I am more concerned about

us at this time than our opponents, about discipline, focus, execution,” he said.

Indeed, he had reason to be concerned as the young Golden Bears were flagged for penalties most of the night, amassing 12 calls for 130 yards in the first three quarters alone, negating three big plays that would have put them in the red zone.

Golden Bears running back Lika Palmer scored first on a 36-yard run that excited the crowd when he reversed his field and scored against the flow. Parker scored again in the second quarter on a ten-yard scamper off-tackle. Three minutes later, quarterback Shane Oberhuber dropped a 21-yard coffin corner pass into the hands of Zach Simon for a 19-0 lead in the second quarter.

The Tigers then drove 66 yards in 10 plays, scoring on an off-tackle run by Reyes. Davis scores on the two-point PAT, to put Elsinore on the scoreboard 19-8 at the halftime break.

The Tigers scored on their first possession of the second half with Reyes carrying for two dive plays, catching an 80-yard pass, and scoring on a ten-yard sweep play. The Tigers were within four points, 19-15.

Six plays later, the Golden Bears scored on an 18-yard keeper by Oberhuber. The score was set up by

a 32-yard pass to Simon. A quick fumble recovery gave the ball back to the Golden Bears and a deep pass down the middle to Simon was complete for a 29-yard score to extend the lead 31-15.

Palmer scored his third touchdown of the night on a 68-yard run up the gut. He finished the night with 246 yards rushing on 20 carries. Oberhuber ran a quarterback keeper for the two-point conversion.

Zach Simon had 117 yards on six catches. Quarterbacks Oberhuber and Vinnie Bowes combined for 122 yards on 8-of-12 passing, two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Defense was led by sophomore Cullen Muir with 13 tackles and junior Tyler Cook with 10 tackles.

Tigers running back Anthony Reyes rushed for 67 yards on 13 carries and caught three passes for 66 yards to lead the Tigers’ offense with 166 total yards. Quarterback Mark Castro completed 6-of-12 passes for 95 yards.

Middle Linebacker Hermosillo led the Tigers defense with 12 tackles.

HS Football: Puma offense struggles against Poly, lose 35-30 JP Raineri Sports Editor The Chaparral Pumas (11) jumped ahead early against La Quinta in Week Zero, taking a 37-7 victory with them, but during Week One, it was a whole new ball game as they had their hands full against the Riverside Poly Bears. The Bears, who were playing in their first game of the season after coming off the field as the 2014 Inland Valley League Champions, made it all the way to the CIF-SS Championships, losing to Redlands East Valley 35-31 when all was said and done.

Poly seemed to pick up where they left off, establishing their dominance on defense as Chaparral struggled offensively all night, failing to score on a single of their 11 drives. The strong defensive presence was centered on a huge defensive line, led by 6-foot 1-inch 280-pound Jesse Ybarra.

Puma senior quarterback Alex Reza started the game tough, completing six of his nine passes for 62 yards, but was pulled midway through the second quarter with a concussion diagnosis.

Junior Quentin Barry got the call to replace Reza, leading several nearly successful drives, thanks in part to a strong effort from running back Austin Bacher (116 yards on 15 carries), but the Puma’s offensive line was too overpowered and a 3-6 air attack, garnishing only 20 yards, would not be the answer in the air.

Huge plays kept the Pumas in the game, including an 85-yard kickoff return by Lloyd Hightower, an Isaiah Hall 60-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown, a safety and a 99-yard kickoff return by Michael “YoYo” Onyemaobi, but a struggling field goal unit proved to be their ultimate downfall, missing two crucial field goals that would’ve given Chaparral the victory.

Riverside Poly held the Chaparral offense scoreless during Week One despite great plays like this catch from Puma wide receiver Nick Anselmo (14).

Matthew Ressler photos

The Pumas allowed 389 yards of total offense including an 81yard touchdown pass to Alex Dory, who finished the game with over 100 yards receiving, and two rushing touchdowns. Senior running back Afi Tualega would also finish with over 100 yards rushing including a 14-yard rush in the fourth quarter that tied the game at 28-28.

Chaparral relied heavily on their defense and special teams, who would be the key factors in keeping the Pumas in a close game as they capitalized once more late in the game with a safety that gave them a 30-28 lead.

Moments later, Riverside’s Dixon Stith, who had a 98-yard kickoff return earlier in the game, would score the winning touchdown on a 62-yard screen pass that gave Poly the 35-30 victory.

“Poly’s defensive line is one of the better lines we will see this season, and our boys held their own. We are going to work on finishing drives, work on our execution and focus on Oceanside next week,” Puma Head Coach

Jeremy McCullough said.

The start of volleyball season has arrived and teams all over the Temecula Valley are rolling up their knee pads and practicing their “Ace” service cheers in preparation for the matches ahead.

Last season it was Great Oak that claimed the Southwestern League title, going undefeated and playing deep into the playoffs, while Elsinore took the Sunbelt league in the same fashion, but wound up losing to Culver City in the 2014 CIFSS Semifinals and then dropped their first match of the 2014 State tournament against Sage Hill.

Great Oak looks to be one of the top teams in the area again and will continue to be a dominant program this year, but Chaparral has a new threat in their arsenal with the hiring of new Head Coach Dana Burkholder.

Burkholder, the Director of the Forza1Volleyball training program, is a seasoned coach and player and was a two time First-Team AllAmerican setter at the University of Arizona from 1998 to 2001. She was also a Pac-10 Player of the Year (2000) and in her senior season she helped Arizona reach their first and only NCAA Final Four appearance.

Her resume goes further than that, so to say she is a threat to those in league coaching against her, well that would be an understatement.

On Thursday, Sept. 3, Great Oak opened up their season at home with a 3-1 win over King (Riverside), 25-19, 19-25, 25-20 and 25-11. Senior Cindy Marina led the team in assists with 35, while Bailee Huizenga and Amy Underdown shared the kill total with 10 each. Defensively, Brynn Sherbert and Samantha Rice led the Wolfpack with 8 and 6 digs in the back court. Great Oak will face Palm Springs back at home again on Sept. 8. Match time is set for 4:30 p.m.

Burkholder’s Pumas took to the court on Sept. 2 against Elsinore for their first scrimmage appearance and despite an overall 3-1 loss. The head coach said she knows she has a team that can compete, once they hit the floor against Poly.

“We got see a lot of our options.

Elsinore has a lot of talent and they are a well-coached team. Renee Horton is a great coach and I know the Tigers will do well in the Sunbelt League again this year,” Burkholder said after the game.

Rob Davis photos Great Oak defenders, Cindy Marina (9) and Amy Underdown (16) attempt to block King’s Mikaela Grove during the Wolfpack’s season opener on Sept. 3.

Just 24 hours later, the focus for the Puma girls shifted to Riverside Poly and Chaparral wasted no time jumping out on the Bears, sweeping all 3 sets, 25-16, 25-18 and 25-17.

“We came out with a good mentality versus Poly and each player made a point to their own job better, and as a result our team played better. Moving forward we need to find the balance between smart and aggressive and be disciplined with our system,” Burkholder said.

The Murrieta Valley Night-

hawks also got a win under their belt in their season opener against Redlands East Valley on Tuesday, Sept. 1, snatching away the final set in a very close series for a 3-2 win. Scores were 22-25, 25-22, 18-25, 25-23 and 15-13. The Lady Nighthawks participated in the Inland EmpireVolleyball Classic over Labor Day weekend as they are set to play and then took on Fallbrook at home on Sept. 8.
