Murrieta teen hopes to inspire others after receiving Make-A-Wish Foundation gift Taryn Murphy Intern

Faith

Two are better than one Zachary Elliott Faith Columnist I once had a guy tell me that he didn’t need friends. He said that he was fine by himself and he didn’t need to have guys to watch sports with or go fishing with.

When he told me this I thought, “How strange. What a weird person to not want to have friends.” Then I realized it was sadder than that.

A trip to New York City, Taylor Swift concert tickets, a new laptop – these are just a few things an average teenager might ask for if they could have any wish granted.

But for 18-year-old cancer patient Jasmine Lopez of Murrieta, the offer to have a wish granted by the Make-a-Wish Foundation brought something different to mind – a Norwalk 280 Juicing Machine.

Eloquent, poised, and ambitious, Lopez isn’t a typical teen. With her optimistic spirit and bright smile, it’s not obvious that for the last two years, she has been fighting for her life.

On March 10, 2013, Lopez was diagnosed with high-grade sarcoma cancer in her hip, despite having no history of cancer in her family. The doctors arranged multiple rounds of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation, and blood transfusions, the last of which Lopez said

Marines don ‘silkies’ and hike to build camaraderie, raise awareness of veteran suicide Kim Harris Managing Editor

Hiker’s dressed in their “silkies” the official physical training shorts for the U.S. Marine Corps walk up Ynez Road raising awareness of veteran suicides on Saturday, Sept. 12.

Laughter and joking filled the air at the Temecula Duck Pond early in the morning hours on Saturday, Sept.12. The festivities felt like an early morning picnic to those in attendance, rather than reflecting the seriousness of the reason for the gathering. But as the 80 plus active duty, veterans and their family members laced up their combat boots, it became evident the reason they were there was not just to have a good time, but to raise awareness of a cause near and dear to their hearts, the loss of 22 veterans a day to suicide.

Founded by the Irreverent Warriors nonprofit organization earlier this year, the Silkies Hike, 22 with 22 for 22 (named for the short shorts that Marines wear while doing physical training) uses humor and camaraderie to bring veterans

Was their life before smartphones?

John Hunneman Columnist So I’m sitting in the dermatologist office in Murrieta recently waiting to get checked out and watching a heated debate in the California State Senate in Sacramento in high-definition on my iPhone.

It suddenly dawned on me that a year ago I didn’t have my current job, a smartphone, or that funky looking growth on my forehead.

How did it come to this?

Not using enough sunscreen is a partial answer, and many of you know my full-time job these days is working for a State Senator. Watching heated debates is part of the job.

The real question is how did I become so attached to my iPhone?

It turns out, I am not alone.

“Nearly Half of Smartphone Users Can’t Imagine Life Without It” is the title of a new survey by the pollsters at Gallup.

Smartphones – if I have to ex-

plain what a smartphone is, chances are you’ve already stopped reading – have been a mass-market product for less than a decade, the study states, “yet already 46 percent of American smartphone users (agree) with the statement ‘I can’t imagine my life without my smartphone.’”

Life would apparently not be worth living for 51 percent of women and 41 percent of men without a smartphone.

As you might expect younger people are much more attached to their smartphones than seniors, however, 40 percent of “seasoned citizens” said life without their high-tech phone would be hard to fathom.

Seven of 10 users say owning a smartphone has made their life better.

The study also found 80 percent of smartphone users always keep their device close at hand and check it at least hourly.

In addition, 40 percent said they would “experience anxiety” if they misplaced their phone for a day.

About two-thirds of Americans own a smartphone these days, up from about 35 percent just four years ago. There are many reasons for this including the fact “dumbphones” – phones that, heaven forbid, only make calls – have almost gone the way of the rotary dial.

Dumbphones are hard to find.

Just ask my wife.

Last year we set out to find her a new phone. Voni informed everyone, in no uncertain terms, she was not yet ready to make the leap

to an iPhone. Another dumbphone was just fine with her.

The clerk at the phone store in Murrieta had to rummage through the back for 20 minutes before emerging with a dusty box containing Voni’s “new” phone which she gave us for free if we promised not to tell anyone where we got it.

I admit being late to the smartphone. Until a year ago I was the proud, if somewhat embarrassed, dumbphoner.

However, when Apple introduced the iPhone 6 last year they began to give away – literally – its predecessor, the iPhone 5. I decided to make the leap and went on the Apple website and bought my first iPhone for a penny.

Somehow, after taxes, the phone ended up costing me $80, but that was still better than the $500 people were lining up to pay for the newer model.

The day the phone arrived I did what any non-tech-savvy, babyboomer would do, and asked my 24-year-old son to help set it up.

It took a few months to be comfortable. Now, I have to admit being hooked.

I would not go so far as to say I can’t imagine life without it, but I have checked my iPhone three times since starting to write this sentence.

However, if my iPhone were to go away – thankfully, like that funky thing on my forehead – I would somehow find a way to survive.

Ah, maybe.

Robert John Merlo, DVM, was born November 7, 1941 and died August 14, 2015.

“Dr. Bob,” son of Esther &

John Merlo, was San Mateo High School’s senior class president and distinguished himself as a fiercely competitive football and track athlete. Aka “Big Horse,” he set the SMHS Bearcat shot-put record in 1960 finishing second in the state of California. In 1962 he set the College of San Mateo record which stood for over 40 years. He was an inspiring volunteer coach in Illinois and Wyoming.

He received his bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University, his masters in microbiology & his doctor of veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri, Columbia. He cared for family and large farm animals, comforted their owners and adopted count-

less abandoned/disabled pets in his homes in Oregon, California, Illinois and Wyoming before assisting his daughter Dr. Rebecca Black establish her veterinary practice in Murrieta, Calif.

His athletic, academic, professional and civic achievements paled in comparison to the ferocity of his charismatic warmth and compassion. He was uniquely inclusive, making close friends as easily as breathing.

He is dearly loved by the family he leaves behind: sisters Judy Grosey and Tina Brenner; sons Scott, Bert and Michael; daughter Becky Black, and grandchildren James, Reilly, Charlie, Liam, Kaylee, Brooklyn and Addalyn.

LAKE ELSINORE—The Lake Elsinore Storm and the city of Lake Elsinore announced on Sept. 9 the installation of two Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Diamond Stadium and another three in other locations that are now available for public use. Team President Dave Oster and Mayor Steve Manos made the announcement.

The installation of these stations – the first of their kind at a Minor League ballpark – is part of Storm Baseball’s ongoing commitment to eco-consciousness and sustainable energy. Since 2008, the organization has outfitted the Diamond Stadium with tankless water heaters, energy efficient lighting and waterless urinals, along with an in-stadium recycling initiative that collects recyclables during each game.

“The Storm takes tremendous pride in being at the forefront of the ‘Going Green’ movement by not only promoting sustainable, eco-friendly business practices but by doing and showing how they can be done,” Storm President Dave Oster said. “We have a wonderful partnership with the city of Lake Elsinore and it’s great to see the positive changes we’ve made together both in the stadium and among our community. We look forward to accomplishing even more in the future.”

The charging stations, which were manufactured and installed

by NRG eVgo (a division of NRG Energy Inc.), are two of five installations throughout the city. Each station can service two cars at once with a 400 amp panel used for Level

2 chargers. Electric car drivers will be treated to three months of free charging from Sept. 5 through Dec. 5, after which a “charge up” card can be purchased and loaded with funds for future charging visits. Drivers are encouraged to call NRG’s 24/7 call center to request a card for the free charging period and beyond.

“With the support of Storm Baseball and South Coast Air Quality Management District, the city is excited to fulfill a much needed service in our community,” Manos said.

“This is just one of many steps we are taking to embrace environmental and sustainability measures.”

For more information on the charging stations, contact the city of Lake Elsinore at (951) 674-3124 or Storm Baseball at (951) 245-4487.

Antelope Hills hosts Boosterthon Fun Run Kim Harris Managing Editor At Antelope Hills Elementary School children learn a lot more than the standards of reading, writing and arithmetic. The students there also learn about how to be a good citizen, compassion and most recently character.

On Sept. 3, more than 815 students ran in the Boosterthon Fun Run at AHES. The Boosterthon Fun Run was the culminating event of the nine-day Boosterthon program themed “Big World Recess,” where students learned character through sports in other cultures.

PTA President Liz Straight said this is the second year that the school has implemented Boosterthon and that she would like to see it become an annual event for students.

“The kids have a great time, the

Boosterthon team is wonderful with them,” she said. “They are like mini celebrities while on campus. The staff loves the program as well – it takes a lot of things off their hands with regards to holding a fundraiser on our own so they can focus on the kids and teaching.”

During the nine-day event, students experienced up close how sports bring people together.

Through documentary-style interviews, students learned how to develop teamwork, curiosity, practice, humility, confidence and endurance through the everyday stories of six kid-athletes from around the world.

Straight said the program was originally brought to the school by last year’s PTA President Kendra Watson who suggested the program to the school.

“While I am not sure how she found them, I do know that Lisa J. Mails Elementary had already used

the program the previous year,” she said, adding that implementing Boosterthon was an easy process.

“We participate in the Live Boosterthon program which means that the Boosterthon team pretty much takes care of everything,” Straight said. “The only thing we had to do was decorate our MPR for the rallies – they provide all the print and social media, the items for the fun run and the team that comes and stays on campus for the nine-day program leading up to the main event.”

Straight said that the Boosterthon team added a way to have the PTA’s website reflect the school itself and not Boosterthon, centering the event around the school, allowing the kids and teaching staff to shine while still providing a fundraising vehicle.

“Kids could make their own publicity video to show to family and friends and it was a huge hit,” Straight said. “We actually did better this our second year as far as reaching our fundraising goal; and from what I understand, that is the normal progression.”

Straight said the Explorer Fun Run, held to wrap up the event

On average, students at Antelope Hills Elementary ran 30 to 35 laps as part of the Explorer Fun Run, held to wrap up the event and to celebrate the funds they raised for their school during the nine-day program.

brought lots of parents to the school to cheer on the students, a large Boosterthon team to keep the momentum going and lots of volunteers including parents and PTA. “Boosterthon also set up a track for our SDC kids so they could get the most out of the day as well.

There was a lot of positive energy, music and cheering,” she said. “The

kids came up to me many times to say how much fun they had.”

From the hard work of the students and the community, AHES will profit more than $35,000 from the nine-day fundraiser at the school. The funds raised by the students will be going towards student support and enhancing the playground area.

switched to a sugar-free, vegan diet.

Over the course of four months, she has completely eliminated her intake of animal proteins, which have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Up until her diet change, Lopez had been eating meals full of dairy and meat.

“I was huge on chicken. Like, ‘Give me more chicken! Let’s do this,’” she said.

Lopez said she no longer craves the foods she used to love.

“It’s not worth my life. It’s not worth the temporary taste,” she said.

“Because I was so educated on how this stops or prevents cancer that was enough motivation for me…at this point I’m fighting for my life.”

In addition to avoiding animal

highlighted the dire state of her health.

“At one point I literally did not have a single white blood cell count in my entire body,” she said.

The doctors pronounced Lopez in remission until Sept. 10, 2014, when the cancer reappeared. This time, however, it had metastasized to her lung. After 11 rounds of chemotherapy, Lopez chose to stop the treatment, realizing it was doing nothing to eliminate her cancer.

It was then that she remembered a phone call from her uncle, who had contacted her during a PET scan and explained how the scan worked.

Carrying a radioactive level, sugar

(glucose) is injected into the patient and travels through the body, lighting up cancer cells, which feed off of sugar.

“That was really the first point that my eyes opened, that maybe the way we eat does affect cancer and its progression,” Lopez said.

Determined to revolutionize her diet and her health, Lopez began to research nutrition as an alternative cancer therapy. Soon, she came across the Gerson therapy, a nutritional diet which uses the body alone as a natural defense against even the most aggressive cancer. After reading countless books, watching documentaries, and meeting with a certified physician, Lopez chose to follow the Gerson therapy, and

the house thinking that I would be distraught over all this going on, and every time they’d be like ‘Why are you happy? Why are you so calm?’” she said.

Her mother, Diana Lopez, added that their family owes an abundance of thanks to her co-workers. “Without their support, we wouldn’t be here mentally,” she said.

But ultimately, Jasmine Lopez asserts that her faith in God is what has allowed her to push through.

Equipped with an optimistic spirit, she is ready to face her future. She has once again been pronounced in remission and is set to attend UCLA this fall. Lopez hopes to focus on alternative cancer therapies in order to raise awareness about the therapy that has changed her life. And she has what it takes. Despite her years battling cancer, Lopez remained studious and motivated, surpassing the scholarly expectations of even a healthy student, with a 4.7 GPA her senior year.

“I was literally sitting there on the hospital bed with my hair falling out, studying for my five AP classes because I knew tests were coming up,” she said.

It wasn’t easy, but Lopez was determined never to let her illness serve as an excuse.

When asked what she would most like the world to know about cancer, Lopez said education of the disease and treatments to battle it are key.

“Do your research. Do not become panicked and do not jump into what doctors are offering you right away. It needs to come down to your own personal choice,” she said.

“I’m in the fight,” she said as she looked at her juicer. “I’m gonna use it to my advantage.”

proteins, Lopez now eats primarily vegetables. That’s where the juicer comes in. The body requires vast amounts of vegetable nutrition in order to repair itself, but it can be hard to eat the needed quantities before becoming quite full. The Gerson therapy provides a solution to this dilemma by bringing juicing into the mix – an alternative method to pack nutrient punch into small, concentrated amounts.

But when Lopez looked into buying the Norwalk 280, a juicer specifically recommended by the Gerson therapy, its $3,000 price tag proved a bit of an obstacle. Immediately, she remembered the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a nonprofit organization which grants wishes to young patients with terminal illnesses.

Previously, Lopez applied for a trip to Paris, then changed her mind and asked for a vacation in Hawaii. But after realizing the need for a juicer, Lopez said it was a no-brainer to change her wish once more and request the Norwalk 280.

“Why would I choose something that would give me enjoyment for a few days over something that I’m going to have for the rest of my life? And that’s going to help with my health?” she said. “At the end of the day you have to be alive to go to Hawaii, right?”

It wasn’t long before the MakeA-Wish Foundation granted Lopez’s wish, complete with a surprise party on Sept. 8 to present the juicer and celebrate the occasion.

Still, the road to recovery involves more than a balanced diet. Lopez said it takes a combination of her mentality and spirituality to keep her going.

Temecula woman tapped to make rosary as a gift to Pope Francis during his visit Tim O’Leary Staff Writer A Temecula artist who turned her life over to God seven years ago was recently commissioned to create a one-of-a-kind rosary that will be given to Pope Francis in connection with the canonization of Father Junipero Serra.

Still a bit off-balance from the media and community exposure, Arasely Rios spent last weekend scrambling to finish the heirloom piece that will be given to the Pope next week when he visits Washington, D.C. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” Rios, 45, said of the attention that fueled one newspaper story and then attracted another reporter and a photographer to her Temecula studio. “Who am I? I’m just a rosary maker.”

But Rios isn’t a mere craftsperson who strings together 59 beads, a medallion and a crucifix to make sacramental pieces that are used by

many Catholics to pray. She describes herself as led by the Lord to produce rosaries, many of which she has given away over the years, and to promote their use among the faithful.

“Rosaries are all about praising God and praying,” she said. “I really think it is my purpose in life to make rosaries.”

Making rosaries was a hobby that Rios embraced at the age of eight as she grew up in the city of Upland. She crafted rosaries out of string, wire and beads and gave them away to members and missionaries of her church.

Her family regularly prayed the rosary, and a family friend, Paz, was one of her rosary-making mentors.

Rios continued her hobby as she veered into the cosmetics industry.

That field became her career for the next 22 years, and she climbed to the post of national education director for L’Oreal. She married along the way, and she and her husband accumulated homes, cars and an array of other

pricey possessions.

Then a trip to northern Spain, the birthplace of her mother, in the fall of 2008 changed her life.

She found herself nearly alone in a vast cathedral. She took confession from the priest, and then thanked God for the many blessings that He had bestowed upon her. She then asked God to use her as He desired.

In that conversation of the heart, she promised God that she would not complain if He stretched and shaped her in ways she did not understand.

A string of changes quickly unfolded.

Her husband met someone else and their marriage ended. She lost her job and was left with a pile of bills and scant assets. Her life had crumbled in just a few months – a period in which the nation’s economy was gripped by a grinding recession – yet she felt the Lord’s hand in the midst of it all.

“My whole life changed. Everything changed,” she recalled. “I didn’t know how I’d eat. I had no idea. Yet there was joy, peace and happiness that covered all that pain. It was actually the happiest time of my life when I had nothing.”

Then, unexpectedly, an acquaintance asked Rios if her rosaries were available for purchase. Rios said she answered “yes,” and the acquaintance bought nine of them. News of her love of the traditional prayer mode spread, a ripple effect that has helped offset a decline in interest in the rosary among many Catholic parishes.

She was invited to lead a church rosary group and has frequently been featured on a radio show that focuses on the act of saying specific prayers in set patterns, often in a measured cadence, that comprise the Catholic rosary.

Her renown grew after she began exhibiting and selling her rosaries at Catholic conventions.

Word continued to spread, and the demand for her pieces has grown to the point that Rios has her museumquality pieces available for purchase at about 400 stores and gift shops throughout the U.S. and Canada. She hopes to expand her distribution to

Europe in about two years.

Her company, Seraphym Designs, takes its name from the highest order of angels. She only uses beads that have a biblical or special significance.

Some rosaries feature as many as 150 parts, and the chains and medals are crafted from silver, gold and bronze.

Each rosary features an angel’s wing that signifies her company.

She has created special designs for missions in Carmel, San Juan Capistrano and Pala. Her brother is an artist who helps sharpen many of Rios’ designs. She taps a team of helpers in Riverside and Los Angeles to assemble many of her rosaries.

She relies on an Arizona foundry for her metal work, and a tiny grey-andwhite dog, Luna, for companionship while she creates her designs, orders materials and performs other tasks.

She has remarried and won a measure of success in the jewelry industry. Yet she continues to give away many of her pieces.

Her rosaries at the Carmel mission drew the attention of some California Catholic leaders who will play an active role in Pope Francis’ upcoming visit to the East Coast. They commissioned Rios to make a rosary that will be presented to the Pope on Sept. 23 when Serra is elevated to sainthood status at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate

Conception.

Pope Francis arrives at Washington, D.C. on Sept. 22. His visit, which ends Sept. 27, will include side trips to New York and Philadelphia. His appearances and visits will include stops or masses at the Capitol, the White House, United Nations, the World Trade Center and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Rios said she will be attending the Pope’s Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia. She also hopes to wrangle an invitation to Serra’s Canonization Mass.

Serra was an 18th century Franciscan monk who played a crucial role in establishing a string of 21 missions that linked the fledgling settlements that laced California’s coastline.

Rios said she alone will be making the Pope’s rosary, which will feature beads made of bronzite, a brown gemstone intended to match the color of the Franciscans’ robes. It will also include seraphinite, a green and white stone that will note the role that Rios’ company had in the gift.

The crucifix will be patterned after the cross that was buried with Serra at the Carmel mission in 1784.

“Everything I do has to be symbolic – the colors, the beads,” Rios said. “It’s going to be very special.”

Local VETERANS from page A-1 together. The group hopes to heal the mental wounds from combat with therapeutic events and entertainment in order to reduce PTSD and suicide.

The group uses a five-step process to help veterans “put the gun back in the nightstand,” according to irreverentwarriors.com. Veterans are encouraged to come out to events such as the Silkies Hike 22 with 22 for 22 and connect with others who are or have been faced with the same issues. The organization offers a host of resources that help to improve veterans’ quality of life through jobs, healthy activities, support and therapy believing that with a better quality of life, more support, friends, and love, a veteran is less likely to kill themselves.

Event organizer disabled Marine Michael Johnson said that he became involved in the movement because he suffers with PTSD and understands the struggles veterans are faced with.

“I was coming back with my wife from her parent’s house driving the Ortega Highway and I told her I am going to get a group, see if I can shut down the 74 and we’re going to hike the 74 from end to end to raise awareness of PTSD and veterans’ suicide,” said the entrepreneur and father of two from Wildomar. “I got home that night and started talking to her and throwing out ideas and I was actually going to start a nonprofit organization myself.”

Johnson began searching the Internet for local nonprofits to educate himself on the process and to plan his cross country hike to raise awareness of the problems faced by veterans when he stumbled across Irreverent Warriors website.

“I want to raise awareness and I have already mapped out a trail from here to the World Trade Center. I wanted to walk that and was planning that and was looking up PTSD awareness prevention and suicide prevention and that is when their link popped up,” Johnson said.

He reached out to the group and told them he wanted to put the walk together in Temecula,” he said.

“I lost too many friends to suicide,”

he said.

The group met at the Temecula Duck Pond on Saturday and hiked Ynez Road to Highway 79 south, up Front Street and through Old Town then cut back over to Ynez Road via Rancho California Road and over to Murrieta Hot Springs Road on Jackson Avenue, stopping along the way for water and bathroom breaks and to answer questions of curious onlookers. The entire walk took about five and a half hours, finally ending up at Franklin’s Cove in Murrieta where they were greeted by a large flag displayed from the ladder of a fire truck supplied by the Murrieta Fire Department and cold drinks and food supplied by Franklin’s Cove.

Frank Hallberg, owner of Franklin’s Cove said he decided to get involved because 22 veterans committing suicide each day wasn’t something that he could ignore.

“My wife actually coordinated it, but we thought the awareness for anything like this, I mean let’s think about it. Twenty-two a day, that’s a really sad number that most people don’t think about it,” Hallberg said.

“When I heard about it, I couldn’t even believe the numbers. When I heard about it I thought the more

people know about this the better.”

Before the hike began, those in attendance were told that if they didn’t go home with at least 10 phone numbers of other participants, then they weren’t making the connections they needed to and the event was worthless, Johnson said.

“You may have met some good people and had a fun time, but if you don’t have somebody you can call when you are in a dark place, it was pointless,” he said. “There are so many ways to contact people through social media or by the phone it’s easy to reach out to somebody when you are in that dark place, somebody who can help you.”

Johnson said he hopes that civilians

can see what service members are trying to do for each other that they would become involved as well.

“If they can donate for the cause, that means we can do more of these events,” he said. “If somebody is on the verge of suicide and we can get them involved in an event like this, it could give them a whole new mindset, at least for a little while.”

Hallberg said his heart goes out to those veterans who find themselves in a situation where suicide appears to be the only answer, but that he was amazed to see the group of service members show such dedication to the cause.

“The average person doesn’t have the heart to go out and do something

like this. Kudos to them,” Hallberg said.

Johnson said that being around others who have been through what he has been through is a good way to battle the demons veterans face after being in combat situations.

“Being with your brothers and sisters who have been through it, is the best way to get through it,” he said. Talking to a psychiatrist who has never been there and just wants to pump you full of meds is not going to help you. My goal is to be there for each other, get as many veterans and active duty onboard and aware that we need to be there for each other is what’s going to help.”

investigation officers observed a marijuana grow in a yard next to a motor home with some marijuana plants reported as being “taller than the fence line.”

Alvaro Gamez-Trejo, a resident of the motor home, was contacted near the residence and claimed ownership for the outdoor marijuana grow, the release reported.

Officers determined that Gamez-Trejo, a probationer, did not have permission to cultivate the approximately 50 outdoor plants which ranged from four to nine feet tall.

The large mature marijuana plants were later seized by detectives and following a probation search of the motor home, officers recovered brass knuckles and other illegal weapons in GamezTrejo’s possession.

Being a part of something bigger than myself Kim Harris Managing Editor It’s not often that I carve 13 hours out of my day to cover an event, but the Silkies Hike 22 with 22 for 22 held on Saturday, Sept. 12, a group of about 80 Marines, sailors and soldiers, along with their families inspired me to do just that.

I went to the duck pond in Temecula with the full intention of just doing the basic coverage, a handful of photos and a story for Valley News – after all, I am a busy woman. But once I got there and began hearing the stories of these courageous men and women, many who had lost brothers and sisters in arms to suicide, I knew that this was one story that needed to be told.

As I sat and talked with event organizer, Mike Johnson, I learned many things that I was not aware of but the thing that got to me was that 22 veterans commit suicide every day. That is over 8,000 men and women who served our country

who can no longer go on, faced with the trauma that many times goes hand-in-hand with being put into a position where combat is required to stay alive and save the lives of those around them.

According to a 2010 Veterans Administration report, the number of veterans who die at their own hand has remained relatively stable, but 22 a day – nearly one an hour – is 22 too many if you ask me.

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonprofit advocacy group representing more than 200,000 members, said the nation should be “outraged” by the rate of veterans who are taking their own lives. At the time the report was released, the group said it was “one of the most importance pieces of data released since 2007.”

IAVA founder and CEO Paul Rieckhoff called for leaders in Washington to accelerate efforts “to shrink wait times for mental health care and find more creative solutions like the Veteran Crisis Line.”

torneys have been sending letters to other cancer charities, telling them to stop advertising to the public that they’re trying to find the cure for their own particular form of cancer, because the Komen organization now claims the exclusive rights on utilizing the term “the cure” for these purposes.

With this being said, is this any type of charity that we should really be donating our money towards?

Old Town and across Ynez and Murrieta Hot Springs roads, handing out water as needed and even picking up a few packs and weary passengers along the way, I felt like I had been put there for a reason.

That reason, I suspect, is to tell their story and help raise awareness of this terrible tragedy of veteran suicide.

I dropped everything else on my schedule, made arrangements for the kids to have rides to get where they needed to be, then with my husband in tow, spent the entire day yesterday supporting their cause by sharing Facebook posts, interviews and photos. And let me tell you, helping these brave men and women to raise awareness, instead of leaving me exhausted at the end of the day, left me feeling that maybe, I did something to help their cause. That, my friends, made me feel better than anything I had done in a long time.

Dear Editor, Congratulations to the City of Temecula for not hosting the Susan G. Komen event this year. In my opinion, the organization has gotten off track from doing what many of us would consider to be acceptable behavior for a charity.

The more than $670,000 that was raised at the event in Temecula last year wouldn’t even pay their top executive’s yearly salary of more than $700,000.

In addition, the media has now reported that the organization’s at-

spouses and families go through during their loved one’s deployment and the sometimes difficult time those service members have upon their return. What I can never understand, no matter how badly I want to, is how a service member feels witnessing the horrors of war and what that does to their psyche.

That’s where the Silkies Hike 22 with 22 for 22 comes in. Putting together active duty and combat veterans with their brotherhood, or sisterhood as it may be, in a situation where they can make contacts with others who have been in similar situations. Giving them a chance to swap phone numbers, find resources and make contacts who could potentially help them in their darkest hours all while marching in their physical training gear, referred to as “silkies” to raise awareness of a very real problem.

The PC police, who seem hellbent on forcing all people to accept gay marriage after the controversial Supreme Court Obergefell decision, suffered a setback when activist federal judge David Bunning released Kim Davis from a Kentucky jail.

Davis, a county clerk, spent five days behind bars after refusing to have marriage licenses to same-sex couples go out under her name, which would, in effect, be condoning a practice that violates her religious beliefs.

Judge Bunning simply could have slapped Kim Davis with a fine. But no, this activist liberal judge chose to throw her in jail until she complied with his wishes. Tuesday, Bunning backed down, bowing to pressure after denying Davis her due process and her rights under the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Throughout our history, there has been a tug-of-war between law and religious freedom. In 1993, Congress passed the RFRA, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. RFRA set out two conditions that must be established if federal laws are to trump an individual’s religious freedom: 1) The burden must be necessary for the furtherance of a “compelling government interest,” and 2) The rule must be the least restrictive way in which to further the government interest. Since that time, many states, including Kentucky, followed suit and passed their own RFRAs. Tuesday, Davis emerged from jail to a thunderous welcome from an appreciative crowd that had gathered outside, which included presidential contender Mike Huckabee. Sen. Ted Cruz also made a stopover in Kentucky to visit her, and Ben Carson took time out from his West Coast swing to go on a national television show to defend her. Six other GOP wannabes – Sen. Marco Rubio, Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Rand Paul, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Gov. Jeb Bush and former Sen. Rick Santorum – also voiced their support.

However, some of the GOP’s presidential candidates, including frontrunner Donald Trump, have piled on, adding their voices to liberal activists who say that Davis simply should do her job or resign. This shows their ignorance of the Constitution and the law, which is scary.

Here is what most people don’t know about the Davis case: Davis only asked that the Kentucky marriage license forms be

changed so her name would not appear on them. She would record any license without her name affixed.

Before the Supreme Court issued the Obergefell decision, 57 clerks, including Davis, wrote a letter to the Kentucky legislators during its regular session, pleading with them to “get a bill to the floor to help protect clerks” who had a religious objection to authorizing the licenses. The Kentucky Clerks Association also recommended that the names of clerks be removed from the forms.

Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers filed a brief in the Davis case, pointing out to Judge Bunning that the “Supreme Court ruling has completely obliterated the definition of marriage and the process for obtaining a marriage license in Kentucky. The General Assembly will be compelled to amend many sections of Kentucky law, not just for the issuance of marriage licenses, to comply with the recent Supreme Court decision.”

Stivers also pointed out that the governor can call a special session of the legislature, or he could simply issue an executive order about the licenses to be codified at a later date by the legislature. He respectfully urged the judge delay or temper his ruling until the legislature had a chance to act. State legislators from both parties have indicated that they feel that the concerns of Davis and the other county clerks can be accommodated.

Davis is not the only county clerk who has refused to issue the licenses under the present conditions set forth in Kentucky law.

Three other states – North Carolina, Alabama and Texas – already have provided an accommodation such as the one Davis is requesting.

Not only is religious freedom an issue here, but so is equal justice under the law. Last year, Kentucky’s liberal governor, Steve Beshear, decided to honor the wishes of his attorney general, Jack Conway, when Conway refused to defend the state’s ban on gay marriage saying that it violated his principle of “fairness.” It cost Kentucky more than $200,000 for a private law firm to defend the statute. Where was Judge Bunning when Conway refused to do his job and defend the law?

Sadly, many Christians seem willing to join liberal activists who are throwing stones at this courageous county clerk. Be warned: If Davis cannot be accommodated, nothing you hold sacred can be protected.

The jailing of Davis was a shot across the bow and should be a wake-up call for every American.

“The country should be outraged that we are allowing this tragedy to continue. The trends are headed in the wrong direction,” Rieckhoff said. “As veterans, we at IAVA understand the spectrum of challenges facing veterans transitioning home, including the struggle with invisible wounds. One thing is clear; we need more research and more collaboration.”

Flash forward to Saturday’s event. I met both men and women who have served and lost friends and family members to suicide, a problem that can easily be corrected with the right treatments and support. One Marine I spoke with lost three combat buddies in a matter of months.

Being married to a combat veteran, my husband spent many hours overseas with his beloved grunts serving in Somalia, Afghanistan and any other number of places, I can understand the fears the

Dining in the Valley Creamistry adds Temecula to its growing list of franchise locations

Temecula residents create and wait for their Creamistry creations at the newest franchise location.

hen you walk into Temecula’s Creamistry, prepare for a hearty welcome and to put your thinking cap on. In this “create your own ice cream” experience, visitors can create and try a different flavor each time they visit.

Inside, the counters are shiny white, tables are lined up against the wall and there is a bar for extra seating. And yes, there’s usually a line. The crowd is largely driven by word of mouth thus far, about the large liquid nitrogen tanks, the blast of freezing cold into a bowlful of ingredients, and the delicious flavors that follow. Creamistry is not just a family outing – it’s science in action.

“Liquid nitrogen is added to the ingredients that our customers choose, freezing the base so fast that ice cream flash freezes in seconds for the freshest, creamiest ice cream possible,” Temecula franchise owner Kent Pattel said.

What we discovered is a raucous, mesmerizing experience for the crowd. Kids press up against the large glass windows and wait for their ice cream concoction to take shape. No matter your taste or dietary needs, there is a Creamistry flavor for you. Select from the creamiest to sorbet, to vegan ice cream base ingredients. Then, add your toppings.

All you have to do next is practice the art of patience as each ice cream takes between three to four minutes to create from scratch.

The staff know they are working for the crowd and put on a show with their banter. A large screen

showcases Instagram pictures of the #Creamistry hashtag photos. Then, in a whoosh, a cloud of white fog rolls over the counter, and out of raw, natural ingredients that you choose comes quick-frozen ice cream.

Creamistry is the latest in new franchise businesses to take up residence in the city of Temecula.

Pattel has worked every angle to see a smooth transition to his newest location.

Temecula’s Creamistry offered free T-shirts for the first 200 people at their Ynez and Overland location, and free ice cream from 4 to 8 p.m. at their grand opening celebration on Saturday, Sept. 12. As expected, lines wrapped outside the building.

According to all who have tried the unique flavors available here, once you taste ice cream and toppings this fresh, you’ll be hooked for good. Visitors compare flavors, toppings, and whether or not to add a homemade waffle bowl.

When you come, don’t expect just a quick scoop. The process of selecting your base, your flavors,

and toppings can take from four to five minutes if the shop is not busy, to 20-30 minutes if there is a crowd.

All ice cream is created for you with the ingredients you request, all in its own bowl. When the liquid nitrogen comes into play, it gets so cold it turns into ice cream before your eyes. Is it magic? Is it science?

The Creamistry experience is a fun show for the whole family.

“Each Creamistry ice cream is made to order, custom made, just the way you want it,” founder Jay Yim said. “The flavors range from ultra-creamy to even gluten free and vegan. It really is ice cream your way.”

At the bright, shining, white interior of Creamistry, one gets the feeling of walking into a science lab. Science – the art of using liquid nitrogen to quick cool the ingredients before your eyes, has started a buzz in the Temecula and Murrieta communities.

“It’s a great presentation,” Yim said. “The foggy cloud blows over the counter, the shop is clean and

50 Creamistry shops will be running across the country from California to New York.

“I never anticipated this concept would grow this fast,” he said. “My wife’s passion was just to run a little ice cream shop, and now look at it.”

According to Yim, a franchise owner like Pattel is just what the concept of Creamistry is all about.

“Ken is a valuable member of our team with great leadership skills,” Yim said. “From the moment I met him, I knew we couldn’t ask for a better franchisee.”

Temecula’s Creamistry location shows Pattel’s hard work is paying off.

“This is one of the few stores that we’ve had no issues or challenges with,” Yim said. “It will be exciting to see the community embrace the Creamistry concept.”

Temecula’s Creamistry is located at 26490 Ynez Rd. #D, Temecula.

bright, and the taste is out of this world.”

So much of cooking is chemistry, and creating the right tastes at Creamistry is up to the clients. The top flavors to try include Cookie Butter and Cookies and Cream.

“We were the first company to serve Cookie Butter ice cream,” Yim said. “And the Birthday Cake, and Cookies and Cream flavors are both amazing. We add the Oreos at the end, and they stay crispier than you could ever imagine for cookies in ice cream thanks to the quick cooling process.”

The idea for Creamistry originated with a trip to Korea with his wife, Katie when they saw a Korean method for making instant ice cream with liquid nitrogen.

Yim grew up in the bakery and ice cream business. When his wife decided to start a Creamistry ice cream catering business for weddings, the need for a physical location quickly presented itself.

“It was so popular. We were serving so many people, and decided to open the Irvine store. Within six months, we were already talking franchising the concept,” Yim said.

Creamistry’s Irvine location was filling over 1,000 orders a day at that time. Now, with eight stores open, 12 more are set to open by the end of next month. By the end of 2016, Yim anticipates over

Alpacas of Anza Valley to host annual Open Ranch Days and breast cancer fundraiser

Jodi Thomas Area Manager Open Ranch Days will be Sept.

26-27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Julie and Don Roy’s Alpacas of Anza Valley Ranch, in Anza. Admission is free.

Eleven years ago, when the Roys decided to retire from corporate America, alpacas and Anza were not even a thought. They were searching San Diego County for a piece of land large enough and flat enough to start an Empress Tree nursery. When they called on an ad for a piece of property showing a San Diego zip code, they were surprised to learn it was in Anza, a place they had never heard of.

Through their entrepreneurial journey, the Roys have been carried from dreams of a tree nursery into owning a successful alpaca ranch.

To date over 100 crias (baby alpacas) have been born on their ranch.

If you attend the eighth annual Open Ranch Days, you will learn about alpacas up close and personal. There will be demonstrations of all kinds such as spinning, weaving, knitting and educational tours including the how and why alpacas are a green business. Special world renowned guest artist Valentina Ratschenko Lamdin will be giving art demonstrations.

Alpacas have a commercial use as their fleece is the softest, most luxurious fleece in the world.

Known by the Incas of Peru, where the alpacas originated, as the “fleece of the gods,” it is highly valued. Some of its other valuable traits are that it’s light weight, hypoallergenic, warm, yet when worn as an article of clothing, it naturally wicks moister away from the body keeping a body drier than other fibers.

because alpaca fleece comes in 22 various natural shades of color. In fact, the Roys name their yarn after the animals whose fleece was used to make it, sometimes combining two color shades to create a new variation in color. Artisans covet this unique yarn to create one-ofa-kind heirloom items. Such items can be found in the Roys’ Alpaca

Boutique. It sells items made from alpaca fleece like stuffed animals.

Close to the Roys’ hearts are breast cancer organizations so they will be raising money for Michelle’s Place in Temecula. It’s a breast cancer resource center.

Bark For Life allows pets to help raise funds in fight against cancer Kim Harris Managing Editor Kristine Crothers recognizes how much pet owners love their pets and the importance those pets play in the lives of many of Murrieta’s residents. It was this knowledge that led her to put together Murrieta’s annual Bark For Life, a fundraiser designed to raise money for the fight against cancer.

“I wanted to start Bark For Life of Murrieta because I know Murrieta is a huge animal community.

I am a huge animal lover myself. I have four dogs myself, one which has cancer,” Crothers said. “I am a 10-year Cancer Survivor myself so I wanted to let Murrieta know that they are not alone and that more than people get cancer.”

Almost two years ago Crothers went to her American Cancer Society staff partner and asked how she could go about starting a Bark For Life in Murrieta.

“This year will be Murrieta’s second Bark and I am looking forward to it,” she said.

A spin-off of the wildly popular ACS Relay For Life, Bark For Life focuses on pet participation to raise money in the fight against cancer.

“Our bark is also a little different than other bark,” Crothers explained. “Other barks pretty much focus on the human cancer survivor and honoring their caregiver dogs.

Well, here in Murrieta we do that but we also honor our beloved animals that have had or have cancer as well.”

Scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17 at Town Square Park in Murrieta, Bark For Life will feature a variety of events, contests and demonstrations, including one from Pawcific Crest Flyball Team.

Based in Murrieta the team consists of dogs and handlers racing against each other from a start/ finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring-loaded pad, and then back to their handlers while carrying the ball.

Also on tap for the event for dogs registered are costume contests, including best dress, best trick and a lookalike contest for dogs and their owners. First, second and third prizes will be awarded in each category, Crothers said.

A Garden of Hope will be highlighted at the event as well. The Garden of Hope is where par-

ticipants and everyone who comes out to see the event can Purchase a Bone for a $1 and place a loved one’s or furry friend’s name on it to honor them.

“Then there also will be a professional photographer there that will be taking pictures of you and your furry friends or just for fur babies if you like,” Crothers said. “There will also be a raffle going on that you can purchase ticket for. Local businesses around town have donated raffle items for us to raffle off.”

Local vendors will be there offering a variety of merchandise and all money raised at the event goes to the American Cancer Society, Crothers said, adding that each person who registers their dog or dogs either beforehand or the day of the event will receive a Bark For Life bandana and a goodie bag.

For safety reasons, to participate in the event, pet owners need to sign a waiver saying all of their dogs’ shots are up to date, keep their dogs on a non-retractable, maximum 6-foot leash.

“There will be water all around the park for the doggies to drink and also water for their humans as well,” Crothers said. “They

are asked to bring their own poop bags and clean up after their dogs as well.”

The walk, which will take place on the sidewalk around Town Square Park, starts at 9 a.m. and those interested in participating can either register online by visiting http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/ RelayForLife/BFLCY16CA?fr_ id=70424&pg=entry or the day of the event.

“It’s a free event, but to participate in the contests and get a goodie bag you have to register and pay the registration fee,” Crothers said.

The Alpaca Hacienda hosts 9th annual Open Ranch Day where visitors will find a unique selection of alpaca products, from soft plush toys to luxurious scarves, hats, throws, socks and shawls, many of which are crafted by local artisans.

“Alpacas are gentle, inquisitive animals and are a delight to raise,” said Beth Osborne, owner of The Alpaca Hacienda. “We welcome the opportunity to share our alpacas with our community, so that more people can learn about them and become acquainted with the beautiful, warm items that are produced

with their fiber. We shear them once a year, so no animals are ever harmed in the process, which is important to me.”

Alpacas are a small relative of the camel native to the Andes Mountains of South America, and are uniquely adapted to the cold, harsh climate found there. They are descendants of the wild vicuna, and were prized by the Incas for their soft, lightweight, and insulating fiber, known as “The Fiber of the Gods.” They make a gentle humming sound, and can live for

20 years.

The Alpaca Hacienda has been raising alpacas since 2004 and offers alpaca sales, boarding, and group tours. They have been featured on Pet.TV as well as in Oprah Magazine. The ranch is located at 31755 Rancho Vista Rd., Temecula. Parking is available on the street outside the gate. For more information, visit www.

TheAlpacaHacienda.com or call The Alpaca Hacienda at (951) 699-3189.

Beth Osborne, owner of The Alpaca Hacienda, holds the reins of one her alpacas. Her business will host an Open Ranch Day on Sept. 26 for the public to visit and see alpacas up close.

TEMECULA—On Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., The Alpaca Hacienda will open its gates to the community in celebration of National Alpaca Farm Days.

The event is free and sure to delight animal lovers of all ages.

Visitors will be able to see and hand feed an array of gentle alpacas, raised for their cashmere-like wool, and learn about their colorful history, quirky habits and other fun facts in a mini-seminar entitled,

“So, What’s an Alpaca?” Fiber artists will demonstrate the weaving, felting and spinning of alpaca fiber into luxurious yarns and products at various times throughout the day.

Children will have the opportunity to make crafts, color and hear fun stories about alpacas, and visitors can also meet the resident llama (lovingly named Marshall LawMa) as well.

The day would not be complete without a visit to the ranch store,

Temecula Public Library to offer lecture on water conservation TEMECULA—The Temecula Public Library invites the public to hear a free lecture and discussion titled “People Waste Water, Not Plants” on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The ongoing drought demands landscape and garden water conservation with homeowners facing a range of landscape watering restrictions. Turf removal and replanting landscapes is all the rage as the solution for reducing landscape water use, but there

are water-saving steps one should take first.

Join Dennis Pittenger as he highlights the stepwise process to reduce landscape water use significantly. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

This program is open to adults 18 years and older. Space is limited.

Temecula couple celebrates 65 years of wedded bliss with family and friends

Ed and Donna Bylund of Temecula celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary.

The Bylunds on their wedding day, Sept. 9, 1950.

Laura Rathbun Writer Donna and Ed Bylund held hands through much of their 65th wedding anniversary party and displayed the love they have for each other that Ed said has kept them together since they married as teenagers on Sept. 9, 1950.

About 65 family members and friends gathered to wish Donna, 83, and Ed, 85, a happy anniversary on The Byland’s anniversary party featured photos from their wedding day and now.

Laura Rathbun photos

Sept. 13 at The Chateau at Harveston where they reside in Temecula.

The Sunday afternoon party was organized by the couple’s daughter Pam Newell, 57, of Temecula.

“Pam put this whole party together. She did the catering, the decorations and everything,” said her sister Darcy Johnson, 60, who traveled from the San Francisco Bay Area to be there. The Bylunds two other children, Brad Bylund, 59, of Colorado and Bonnie Bylund, 56, of San Diego were also at the party.

In addition to well wishes from family and friends, the Bylunds received a happy anniversary card from the White House signed by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, which surprised Ed. “I thought how in the heck does he know that, but the government knows everything,” he quipped.

He suspects one of his daughters made arrangements to have the card sent.

Donna described the party as “wonderful” and enjoyed listening to a pianist provide musical entertainment. Guests were treated to an array of food including a dessert bar and champagne and sparkling apple cider. The party space was decorated in blue and silver décor with vases of red roses on tables.

There were also photos of the Bylund’s wedding and life together on display throughout the room.

Donna, who was celebrating her 84th birthday the next day, said the key to her and Ed’s long marriage has been taking it “one day at a time.”

Newell said her parents’ “love and devotion to family and being devoted to each other” is the reason their marriage has lasted 65 years and is still going strong.

Creative ways to recycle leaves Leaves cascading down from trees indicate the arrival of autumn. However, colorful and awe-inspiring autumn leaves can be a hazard if left to lie on the ground too long.

Fallen leaves form a dense insulator to protect trees’ roots and prevent competing plants from growing. Decomposing leaves also provide nutrients for the tree. But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the lawn through the winter can pose a threat to the grass.

These are just a couple of reasons why so much effort is placed on leaf cleanup in the fall. The following are some creative ways to recycle leaves that fall from your trees in the weeks to come.

Mulch Shredded leaves can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden beds and even the lawn. Leaves lying on the grass can be mulched into small pieces with a mulching mower so they don’t choke the blades of grass. Leaves also can be broken down with a string trimmer, a leaf blower that has a vacuum function or a commercial shredder/ chipper. Add the shredded leaves to a compost pile or use them to fill container plants before adding regular potting soil.

Insulation Collect leaves to mound over delicate

perennial plants and shrubs. The leaves will add more warmth to the soil and may help plants make it through harsh winters. Just remove the leaves slowly when spring arrives so that the soil underneath can get the sunlight and water it needs to thrive. Leave some leaves in the yard so that animals can use them as nesting material and line their dens for the winter.

Stuffing Create whimsical scarecrows as part of your autumn decoration scheme.

Gather older clothes that you no longer use and stuff the sleeves of shirts and the legs of pants with leaves, which are less expensive and easier to come by than straw. Use a few pieces of straw around the neck and hand areas of the scarecrow for visual effect. Tie off with twine and display your scarecrow.

Bedding Chicken owners can use fallen leaves as bedding in their chicken coops. Dry leaves also may create more comfortable and drier conditions for goats and other livestock. Goats may look to recently fallen leaves as a nutritious food source. Gather the leaves and let the goats munch before you further rake and compost the leaves.

There are many ways to recycle leaves. Mulching, insulation for the garden and stuffing scarecrows are just a few creative ways to recycle leaves.

Decorations Natural leaves can be used as decorations both inside and outside a home.

String freshly fallen leaves together and wrap them around a grapevine wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be placed in clear vases and put on display for a cheap way to showcase

some autumn color. Preserve favorite leaves with a lamination machine or by sealing them between heated sheets of waxed paper. Cut out the leaf shapes and use for hanging window decorations.

Recreation Leaves have long been favorite toys

for children, who eagerly await jumping into large piles of fallen leaves.

Fill paper bags with leaves and draw a target on the front. Let kids test their skill aiming for the targets. Children can camouflage their clothing with leaves and masking tape and have a more intense session of Hide and Seek.

them?’”

Flores, along with the help of his boss, Dr. Andrew S. Arriola began to pull the program together.

“We had Dr. Arriola’s wife put a flier together and from there I went to different companies and reserve bases in Riverside County and handed out fliers and told them this is what we are offering to the vets that don’t have insurance,” he said. “We did cleanings and exams at no charge to them and members of their immediate families. When I looked it up on the website, there was no one doing this locally, except for our office.”

For Freedom Day USA, held on Sept. 10, Winchester Dental Group offered veterans and their immediate family members dental exams, x-rays, dental cleanings, fluoride treatment, necessary fillings and necessary extractions, all at no charge. Patients who needed bigger jobs, such as root canals, were referred out, Flores said, adding the first-year event was a rewarding one for the practice.

“We put it together not knowing what was going to happen or how it was going to turn out, but so far it has been very successful,” he said.

Leo Flores, a dental assistant with Winchester Dental Group, said he understands how difficult it can be for veterans to get care at the local VA hospitals and clinics so when he stumbled upon Freedom Day USA, he knew it was his chance to make a difference in the lives of veterans in need.

“With the VA backlog right now, it’s hard to get in and get out, especially for dentistry,” Flores, a 24-year Army reservist veteran said. “It’s very, very hard.”

Freedom Day USA began on the East Coast in 2012 as a way to help veterans who had no insurance get the care they needed, according to the website www.freedomdayusa. org.

“When I saw this advertiser on a brochure I got through one of our companies that we buy materials from at the office, I read it and I told my doc this would be a good idea to do this here in Temecula and Murrieta and that there really wasn’t anything in place for these vets,” Flores said. “He said ‘they did for us so why can’t we do for

The staff at Winchester Dental Group volunteered their services to veterans on Thursday, Sept. 10 giving them cleanings, x-rays and providing fillings and tooth extractions as needed as part of the Freedom Day USA. Pictured from left are Brenda Barnes, Chanelle O’Shell, Renee Arriola, Dr. Andrew Arriola, Dr. Courtesy photos Charles Isaac, Roxana Pavon, veteran Joshua Pavon and Leo Flores.

Flores hopes that by telling Winchester Dental Group’s story, more doctors will sign on to take part in the event next year.

“It would be nice if more doctors would actually get involved with this kind of program,” he said. “Next year if I can get more volunteers, more doctors willing to help, I think it would be a great

thing for everybody.”

Flores said to take part in the event is a simple process, just visit the Freedom Day USA website and fill out an online application.

“You fill it out and email it to them and within three or four weeks you get a response back to the application and it tells you step by step what to do and what not to do,”

he said. “It is as simple as ABC. It’s all volunteer. We volunteer our time and services for these veterans.”

Arriola said to take part in a program such as Freedom Day USA, was an easy decision for him.

“They gave up so much of their lives for us and our freedoms so it is time for us to give back to them,” he said.

Health Senior Services Master Plan meeting to be held at Mary Phillips Senior Center TEMECULA—The city of Temecula Community Services Department will hold a Senior Services Master Plan Community Meeting on Monday, Sept. 21 from 1-3 p.m.

This community meeting held at the Mary Phillips Senior Center, 41845 6th St., in Old Town Temecula, will include a panel discussion on housing, transportation, and health and wellness.

The goal of this meeting is to create a viable plan and make rec-

ommendations to enrich the lives of aging adults through programs and services for Temecula’s senior community. The purpose is to identify the objectives and scope of the Master Plan process; outline services gaps; identify key stakeholders; and create a timeline for the SSMP. This important meeting is the third in a series specially designed to obtain information from our stakeholders.

The SSMP committee is com-

prised of community members, staff and elected officials empowered by the City Council to develop initiatives to address the various issues of concern for aging adults.

These local efforts are consistent with the city of Temecula’s Quality of Life Master Plan with aspirations of a city allowing each resident to achieve a full and satisfying life.

Please R.S.V.P. by Sept.18 to the MPSC at (951) 694-6464.

LifeStream holding blood drives TEMECULA—LifeStream is holding three blood drives this weekend. One drive will be at Brunswick Cal Oaks Bowl, 40440 California Oaks Road, Murrieta, on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donors receive a coupon for a free game of bowling, courtesy of Brunswick and, while supplies last, a $1 discount coupon off a regular sub, courtesy of Jersey Mike’s Subs.

Another drive will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, 23800 Washington Ave., Murrieta on Saturday, Sept.

19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Donors receive, while supplies last, a coupon for a free game of bowl-

ing, courtesy of Brunswick, and a $1 discount coupon off a regular sub sandwich, courtesy of Jersey Mike’s Subs.

The third drive will be at Rancho Community Church and Schools, 31300 Rancho Community Way, Temecula, on Sunday, Sept. 20 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Donors will also receive free cholesterol screening and Gift of Life Donor Loyalty points that may be redeemed in the online donor store at www.LStream.org.Those aged 18-44 years may register for Be The Match bone marrow screening at all donor locations free of charge. Healthy individuals at least 15 years of age may donate blood.

Cities are the new retirement communities It used to be that as retirement approached, seniors would conjure up bucolic dreams of lazy days in a country setting. But, more of them these days are deciding to take it easy on the streets of big cities where they can find new friends and a busier, more exciting and enriching lifestyle, says the Association of Mature American Citizens.

City life might seem daunt-

ing to some, but for the young at heart it is a place that offers greater independence and allows them to take advantage of handier public transportation, medical services and cultural activities. As for the need for rustic surroundings, cities provide parks and easy transport to idyllic locations in the suburbs and the exurbs when the need arises for a quiet getaway.

Fifteen and 16-year-olds must provide LifeStream with written parental consent. Parent consent forms are available at any donor center, community blood drive or at www.LStream.org.

All prospective donors should be free of infections or illness, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not be at risk for AIDS or hepatitis. Donors receive a free mini-physical as part of the donation process. Donating blood takes about an hour, yet gives someone a lifetime. For more information, call 1-800-TRY GIVING. Join the LifeStream volunteer team and make a lifesaving difference. For information, call (800) 879-4484, ext. 458.

Murrieta Police Department to host drug take back event MURRIETA—On Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Murrieta Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the front lobby of the Murrieta Police Department at 2 Town Square in Murrieta. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last September, Americans turned in 309 tons (over 617,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at nearly 5,500 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. When those results are combined with what was collected in its eight previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 4.8 million

pounds – more than 2,400 tons – of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines – flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash – both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Any questions about this event should be directed to MPD Lt. Ron Driscoll at (951) 461-6377.

Health

Physician to speak at next Professional Women’s Roundtable luncheon meeting in October What and How Hormones Affect Women of all Ages.

In 2006, after a complicated hysterectomy and ending up in the hospital for 40 days, Blanscet, found herself in menopause at the age of 38 and realized she needed to research how to get herself well. This led her to A4M, a professional organization that trains physicians in anti-aging medicine, including bio identical hormones. After becoming board certified in integrative (aka antiaging) medicine she was able to get her own health optimized.

Blanscet found that an insurance based practice does not allow for personalized medical care and left the traditional medicine arena and opened up an Optimal You. Her medical practice is located in Murrieta.

“It takes time and patience to help patients balance their hormones and achieve optimal health,” she said.

Blanscet offers bio identical hormone therapy and other integrative medical care to patients who wish to take control of their health and not rely on insurance.

She offers concierge medicine to a small amount of patients.

Dr. Laurie Blanscet will speak at the October Professional Women’s Roundtable luncheon meeting.

Born and raised in Southern California and married for 27 years, Blanscet rescues cats to place in homes. She also loves to travel and scuba dive.

Join PWR at its lunch meetings on the first Thursday of each month. The cost of the luncheon meeting is $20 for members and

Donaldson steps down from role at SAFE TEMECULA—SAFE Alternatives for Everyone Executive Director Melissa Donaldson has announced she is leaving the agency close to her 15-year anniversary, according to a press release issued by the organization.

Donaldson was the first employee of SAFE and was hired to take the agency from a volunteer based fundraising agency to a domestic violence service delivery agency for the Southwest Riverside County. SAFE started

with community member Founder Carol Niles, founding and current Board Member Jim Domenoe and so many more.

The agency went from one staff helping victims of domestic violence to boasting a multitude of prevention and intervention services for children and youth, the Murrieta and Temecula Police Activities League, Trinity SAFEhouse for confidential placement and their newest venture, Alli’s Resale Shop that will soon open.

“Melissa will be working for the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office as the Director of Victim Witness and will start her new position in October 2015. I and the entire Board of Directors from SAFE wish her all the best in her new position,” said SAFE Executive Director Rhonda Reinke. “The entire staff at SAFE is exceptional, knowledgeable and very dedicated.

We will continue our services, activities and fundraising without skipping a beat.”

Savvy candidates cater to seniors As the nation’s population ages at a rapid rate, older Americans will continue to be a critical audience for politicians running for office for some time to come, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens.

The Census Bureau revealed recently that “the population aged 65 and over was the only age group to see an increase in voter participation in the 2012 presidential election compared with the 2008 presidential election.”

Americans are celebrating their 65th birthdays at a rate of 10,000 a day and accordingly you can expect savvy candidates to court them with greater enthusiasm, says AMAC.

Zachary Elliott Faith Columnist I once had a guy tell me that he didn’t need friends. He said that he was fine by himself and he didn’t need to have guys to watch sports with or go fishing with.

When he told me this I thought, “How strange. What a weird person to not want to have friends.” Then I realized it was sadder than that.

This guy has never experienced the

Exceptional care with a gentle touch

incredible joy of being a friend, not just having one.

I can’t tell you how many times I have just craved being with friends.

As the old song goes, “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.” People like to be with people who like them.

I believe friendship is a desire God has given each and everyone of us.

God never intended for us to live life alone. We need people who care for us and we need people to care for.

Now sometimes we don’t have as many friends as we would like and we usually find someone to blame for that. But the real question is: If you want friends then are you being a friend? Whose burden are you lifting? Who do you call to encourage and make laugh? Sometimes the greatest answer to having friends is

being a friend to someone else.

Other people need friends every bit as much as you need them. That’s why the Bible teaches us that “two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If a person falls, the other can reach out to help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) If you’re not being a friend to someone you are in real trouble. I want to challenge you to stop being a loner and start being a friend.

Find someone you can give the gift of friendship to. If you do you will soon find out that you have more true friends than you ever thought possible.

Elliott is the lead pastor at Fusion Christian Church located in Temecula. He can be contacted at (951) 676-8511. For more information, visit www.myfusionchurch.com.

Menifee church begins movie discussion group MENIFEE—Menifee United Church of Christ is starting a movie discussion group. The group will watch and discuss the movie, “What Dreams May Come,” starring the late Robin Williams.

“Robin Williams shines in this film about the afterlife,” Senior Minister Bill Freeman said. “His

performance demonstrates again his skills as a dramatic actor and not just as a comedian.”

The movie discussion group will meet at the church the third Friday of each month at 6 p..m. beginning Sept. 18. The public is invited.

Record Setting plant trading event at Louie’s Nursery

A record setting turnout of people gathered at the online group Plant Traders Inland Empire Ca. Garden Trading Community’s seventh event at Louie’s Nursery in Menifee on Sept. 12 Shelli DeRobertis photo

Shelli DeRobertis Writer Barty Robarge got his birthday wish Sept. 12 when more than 100 people showed up in extreme heat to Louie’s Nursery on Wickerd Road in Menifee to exchange plants at the Plant Traders Inland Empire Ca. Garden Community’s latest event.

By 11 a.m., the outdoor tables, cement benches and garden art section of Louie’s Nursery were covered with containers, bags and boxes filled with plants, and some with fruits and vegetables that members brought from home to share with others.

For Lisa Datin, of Woodcrest, it was her first time attending the group’s monthly plant exchange.

“The people are wonderful, for one thing, and the variety of plants are crazy,” Datin said.

She offered some unique items at her table. Besides the euphorbias, opuntia and Chinaberry tree, she also had several pieces of skeleton cactus she said are used as art decorations.

When another member walked past Datin’s table carrying a large

waterhousia, Datin said she would love to have that plant and asked if she could trade something for it?

A tiny euphorbia was then exchanged for the waterhousia.

Pat Whitney, of Temecula, had several Mother of Thousands plants (cactus succulents) at her table, and said she got the first one free at a plant exchange three months ago, and has since given 20 of them away.

“You get this teeny-tiny thing the size of a pea, and it grows up to have flat, broad leaves, and all the way around the edges there’s like 30 babies,” Whitney said.

She found the plant exchange group on Facebook, and said that since joining that everything in her front yard has come from the group’s trading events.

Tonya Volk, of San Jacinto, walked back to her table with an onion plant she said she was going to give to her daughter.

She said she has about 150 outdoor plants, and that her front yard hosts mainly succulents while her back yard has a tropical décor, including a pond.

It was also her first time attending a plant exchange.

“I love this,” Volk said. “My neighbor and I do the plant trade

back and forth and wanted to expand to something new.”

Sea Fig, Firesticks and low growing bottlebrush were some other plants that topped tables and sparked conversation.

“Nobody wants to go home with what they brought,” said Jennee Scharf of Temecula.

Scharf oversees the group’s Facebook page to be sure that people aren’t selling anything – it’s trading only, she said.

As of Saturday morning, the number of members had reached more than 1,600, Robarge said, and added that it had grown to the the largest of its kind in Southern California since he founded it eight months ago.

Robarge said he aims to organize the bi-monthly events at different locations throughout the county, so members may have the chance to attend one near their city.

A birthday cake was presented to Robarge at the end of the exchange on Saturday, as people wished him happy birthday and praised his efforts in the success so far of the plant trading community.

AUTUMN from page C-1 your personal yard.

For those of you who have veggie gardens – possibly in raised beds, or however you grow them – right now is the time that you should be putting in your “cool season crops.” You can buy the six packs at the local nurseries now or you can plant some from seeds, it’s up to you. The good thing about planting seeds now is the warm soil will cause them to germinate quickly, and as they start growing, cooler temps should be here.

What type of veggies can you plant now? Some are arugula, beets, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, cauliflower, kale, peas, spinach and Swiss chard.

As a matter of fact, there’s not much you can’t plant now with the exception of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers and summer “warm season” crops.

Make sure to organically fertilize the soil. Your summer crops will have depleted what was in there and more fertilizer will help the next crop grow strong and healthy. I’d like to encourage everybody to at least try to grow one cool season veggie you’ve never tried before – you might really love it.

This is the best time of the year to plant in your garden. The soil is warmer and your new plants will have months in which to put down a nice root network before the heat starts stressing the “visible” part of the plant. Your plants, shrubs, trees, and bulbs will have more time to acclimate themselves now than in any other season. This is why soon, if not already, you will start to see bare root plants available at nurseries.

Actually they don’t usually come out for another month or so, but keep an eye out for them. The sooner you get them acclimated, the better for them in the long run. Bulbs should be coming out in a few weeks also.

I love potting up “paperwhites” to have them blooming in the house in December, you can do this with lots of bulbs – I may address this in another entire article, but just so you’re aware they will be available soon, go get some!

In addition to putting in plants at this time, another important chore is fertilizing one last time. I fertilize my lawn now (last time for the year), my roses, even potted plants, especially those blooming. Annuals will keep on going for a while in our climate.

I’ve actually managed to keep coleus going for years, even though they do not survive our winters, by taking cuttings and bringing them indoors for the winter. Just deadhead your annuals and they will keep blooming for you, water and fertilizer is a given.

Hold off on major pruning of anything for a while yet. If your plants are looking really bad, then go ahead and prune them back about a third.

You will probably see new growth before the really cold weather gets here anyway. Perennials in particular may start to look bad, leggy, or just not good, feel free to prune them back. It’s good for them and they will reward you. Give them some organic fertilizer when you do so, they will

Home & Garden / Real Estate

Twenty tips for staging your home next door will come over and tell you why you need to do this or that.

Then, there is your mother-in-law that has an answer for everything and is never wrong. Take it all with a grain of salt and do what you feel is right. If you break any of these rules you’ll still find a buyer that thinks your home is exciting and will still buy it in spite of the broken rule.

John Occhi and Mike Mason Real Estate Columnists What do romance and selling your home have in common? Simple, it pays off to set the mood. In the real estate business, we call it “staging” which is the art of showcasing all of the best that your home has to offer so that you’ll be able to sell the house for the top price the market will allow.

Selling a home should never be an impulsive decision; rather it requires planning to achieve the maximum impact in the marketplace. Read along and see how these 20 professional staging tips can help you achieve your goal of selling your home for top dollar.

Declutter The cardinal rule of home staging is to declutter. You need to move out as much furniture as possible. Will you take it to the new home? If not, better get rid of it with a yard sale or as a donation to the Salvation Army.

If you’re keeping it and you can do without it until you move, put it in storage. Even the smallest of homes need to look spacious. Potential buyers need to picture their own items in the home and that it will fit their lifestyle.

Counter intelligence Think horizontally. Clear all counters and table tops of non-essential items. Toss the old magazines and pack up the knick-knacks. Keep your kitchen and bathroom counters clean and clear.

The nose knows Three big odor issues are smoking, pets and stale cooking odors.

When you live with a particular scent in the air, it becomes normal.

When a potential buyer walks in, they immediately detect any offensive odors or any cover-up scents.

Don’t try and mask the odor by baking bread or spraying air freshener.

Instead, remove the odor from the home – scrub the walls, remove old smelly carpet, have the air vents professionally cleaned and for goodness sake, if you’re going to smoke – do it outside!

Your new buyer will be lazy (just like you) If there is outdated wallpaper, ratty carpet or a running toilet, take care of it now so your prospective buyers can imagine themselves just moving in without having a lot of work to do. Those willing to do the work are looking for fixer homes at fixer prices.

Where’s the baby?

Ask yourself if you had a 6-monthold baby who is starting to crawl everywhere, would you put your child down on that floor? If you wouldn’t, neither would your buyer. Time to replace the flooring. Same goes for the walls – are they covered in grimy handprints or grease from a pet that uses the doorframe to scratch? Definitely time to paint.

Up in smoke Don’t let the perfect buyer disappear in a puff of smoke. Many buyers today will not even tour a home if they detect cigarette odor.

Enough said.

An ageless beauty Is your home more than 10 years old? Does it have original flooring?

Paint? Appliances? Fixtures? Counters? Landscape? Well a 30-year-old home that looks like a 30-year-old home is not going to be a quick sale for top dollar. A solid 30-year-old home, in an established neighborhood, that looks timeless and is well-maintained is usually a quick

to make the room inviting. It’s good to be creative and thorough, but keep it real. Staging your home should never look artificial.

Is your home unique?

Realize that home buyers are typically looking at many homes over a few days before making an offer and many times the kitchen in one, the master in another and the backyard in a third all get scrambled in their minds as they all run together. What is it about your home that makes it stand out? Find a way to do it. Perhaps a vase with three-dozen fresh cut yellow roses on the dining room table may do the trick.

Be real Don’t go to extremes. It’s not necessary to turn down the linens on your bed and put a mint on the pillow

I WILL SAVE YOU MONEY, by listing your sale for top dollar.

Have you seen the light?

People buy two things, for the most part, when they buy a home – space and light. Open the blinds and turn on every light in the house before a showing. If a room is still dark, then add new lighting to brighten it up. Spice up the setting to suggest light, when there isn’t enough. On an overcast day consider opening up the umbrella on the patio table and throw a couple of beach towels over them. Add a pitcher of lemonade to the table and who couldn’t imagine the setting on a hot summer day. Fresh cut flowers and blooming potted flowers add the subconscious suggestion of sunlight on a dreary day.

Home inspection It’s a fact that nearly every home buyer will have the home inspected so why not have your own inspector come through first. You’ll be able to identify any hidden defects and have them taken care of before a buyer finds them and blows them out of proportion.

White is right White walls may not be as popular as colored walls the problem is that different buyers prefer different colors and some may not like your choice. Sure, it may be boring but it makes for an easier sale. A fresh coat of white paint will make the home look clean and fresh.

Carpet Carpet is not as popular today as it once was. Many homes have replaced theirs with a laminate wood product or tile. If you’re going to have carpet, get it professionally cleaned and remove all of the stains and odors. If this doesn’t work, then replace the carpet. A wood laminate will make the home look bigger and people will know it’s easier to keep clean. Besides, people always love to see wood.

Nothing personal, but…

Politics and religion are two topics that should never be discussed in business and selling your home is business. Regardless of your religious affiliation, it offends someone and should not be displayed. Same goes for family photos – the home should be void of any indication of race, religion or even gender preference. Regardless if it’s right or not, there are still people out there that carry a prejudice and may not want your home because of it. And, if you have a deer head over the fireplace – take it down! Remember to play it safe because anything anyone could

consider to be provocative can very well turn off the perfect buyer for your home.

Remove old wallpaper Wallpaper choices are very personal and should not be considered an upgrade – regardless of how expensive it was. Especially if any of the wallpaper, or wallpaper borders are peeling. If the kids have themed rooms, now is the time to neutralize them so that your next buyer can admire your home and not your decorating skills.

Thin out your closets Nothing is worse than having a buyer look into your closet and find there is no room to add one more shirt. Look through and see what you can eliminate as either a yard sale item or a donation to the Salvation Army. Then go through and consider what you’ll actually be using for the next several months and what seasonal items you can pack up and store. When you’re done, you should have no more than half of any closet with anything in them. Now repeat the process in your kitchen.

Remember, people buy space and that includes under the counter space as well!

Power of the flower It may cost a few dollars, but a home with several bouquets of fresh cut flowers strategically placed will give a home a nice softer feel to it.

Green plants and fresh cut flowers from the yard will go a long way to making a buyer want to spend more time.

Fresh air On a nice day, open the windows and let a breeze flow through the home (if you have one). If it’s cold and dreary out, light a fire in the fireplace.

Keep it clean Never leave dirty dishes in the sink. Keep the floors clean and don’t allow your home to get dusty or trashy and for goodness sake no cobwebs! Enough said.

You can’t please everyone When you sell your home, you’ll find that you are surrounded by experts who know what you should and shouldn’t do. There will be Joe across the street that wants you to fix up the garage and Mary who lives

home for only 4% - 4½%.

Great Oak’s Nool fractures neck in Week Two football game, surgery not needed

Great Oak defensive back James Nool (28) fractured his neck making a tackle during the Wolfpack’s Week Two game against Rancho Verde on Friday, Sept. 11.

JP Raineri Sports Editor It’s a nightmare to any sports parent. The last thing a teammate, friend, fan or coach would want to see is one of their own being carted off the field or court on a stretcher.

That nightmare became a reality last week during Great Oak’s Week Two football game against Rancho Verde at the Mustang’s home field when Wolfpack junior defensive back James Nool went down to the ground on the second play of the

game after making a tackle.

“It was scary,” said teammate Demetric Felton after the game.

“We all knew something wasn’t right. When he was on the ground we all just prayed for his safety and hoped it would not be something that would take him away from the game. It is something you try not to think about as a player, but know can happen at any time.”

According to a social media post made by James’ dad Jay, the Defensive Back was transported to a local hospital by ambulance for

“Right now James has the ability to move all extremities with no

for their quick response,” Jay Nool wrote in the post.

Supporters are positive as the latest news revealed that Nool will not need surgery, though he will be in a brace for four to five months.

cannot be prevented, but ensuring that these players are wearing the proper equipment, getting the proper instructions, and being as safe as possible is not only the mission of our school, but all the sports programs I know of, including the CIF,” said Great Oak Athletic Director, Mike Adras.

“This was a serious situation and our prayers and thoughts are with James and his family at this time.

We look forward to seeing him back on campus as he gets stronger day by day.”

HS Football: Huge scores, big plays and strong defenses prevail in Week Two JP Raineri Sports Editor Though it’s early in the season, league games are just in sight for teams in the valley, but coaches still have room for error as they continue to prepare their teams for the post season hunt. A great preseason record counts, especially when the teams gridiron gangs are beating, or losing to, are quality enough to take back home to a team’s own league, making players that much of a better team when all is said and done.

Southwestern League Last week it would be the Temecula Valley Golden Bears (2-0) that would get the week started as they traveled to La Sierra in Riverside on Thursday, Sept. 10 and literally played lights out football.

With 11 minutes left in the second quarter, the Golden Bears were leading 27-0 on the heels of two first quarter touchdown runs from junior Lika Palmer when the stadium lost power and the lights went out. The excessive heat during the day had the entire valley facing brownouts and with the Golden Bears powerful offense gaining momentum, it was a welcomed break by the fans of the Eagles. The light’s would come back on twenty minutes later and Temecula Valley would score another 28 points, taking a commanding 55-7 lead into the half.

Lika Palmer ran for five TDs and 202 yards, making it his second consecutive 200-yard performance in as many games. Other touchdowns included a Shane Oberhuber, Travis Plantier, 22-yard touchdown and senior quarterback Vinny Bowes connected with Zak Simon for a score complimenting his rushing touchdown early in the game. Senior running back Chris Claros had a 13-yard TD run and sophomore Trevor Matagulay added an 80-yard touchdown run as the end of the game drew close.

La Sierra would manage 27 points in the second half, but that was after TV head coach Rick Mey called off the dogs. The Golden Bears are now 2-0 and will be at home this week against Hemet.

The Bulldogs are 1-1 and are coming off a 37-24 loss to Ramona.

Game time is 7 p.m.

The Murrieta Valley Nighthawks (3-0) took their third straight vic-

tory of the season to the bank, depositing 55 points on Sunbelt League counterparts, the Elsinore Tigers, wining 55-7. Senior running back Quincy Wimbish scored four touchdowns on 14 carries, gaining 130 yards during his first half appearance, while freshman quarterback, Hank Bachmeier, once again picked apart another team’s defense, completing 15 of his 19 passes for three touchdowns and 259 yards. Sophomore Marquis Spiker caught two of those Bachmeier passes for touchdowns, one for 33 yards and another for 32 and wide receiver Maurice Bell also hauled in a 29 yard pass as well.

Murrieta Valley dominated both sides of the ball, but Elsinore’s Anthony Reyes did chip away at the Nighthawk defense for 90 yards, scoring the Tigers only TD in the first quarter with a 61-yard run.

Murrieta Valley will be tested this week when Rancho Cucamonga rolls into town. The Cougars are 2-1 after defeating Don Lugo, 35-10. The winless Tigers will be home to face Arlington who is 1-1 so far this season. Game time is 7 p.m.

Chaparral (1-2), who hit the field without starting quarterback Austin Reza due to a concussion suffered last week, dropped their second game in a row, losing to Oceanside, 12-7. The Pirates jumped out first on a 23-yard field goal by Jake Gerardi in the first quarter, but the Pumas answered back on their first drive of the game as junior Quentin Berry drove Chaparral down the field where he handed off a 7-yard touchdown to Austin Bacher.

Oceanside’s Gerardi countered back and would nail a 41-yard field goal to make it 7-6 at halftime.

The Pumas lead until late in the third quarter, when Girardi would score again on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Pirates quarterback Max Shuffer.

Chaparral had every opportunity to score on their next two possessions, but penalties and an interception by Oceanside’s P.J. Poumele would be the final contributing factor in the Pumas second straight loss. Chaparral will be home next week to face the Don Lugo Conquistadors (1-2), who are coming of a 35-19 loss to Rancho Cucamonga. Game time is 7 p.m.

In other Southwestern League games on the night, Great Oak (03), played with passion after a first quarter injury to junior defensive back James Nool, who was taken off the field in an ambulance. The Wolfpack failed to find a way to tame the Mustangs of Rancho Verde, dropping their third straight game of the season 37-27. Vista Murrieta (2-0) and Murrieta Mesa (2-1) both bettered their records by one game, defeating their opponents by more than 20 points each on the night.

Great Oak (0-3) travels to Chino Hills this week to play Ayala HS, Vista Murrieta (2-0) hits the road to face Lakewood and Murrieta Mesa (2-1) will also travel to face Palm Springs. Game times are all set for 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18.

Sunbelt League Lakeside and Perris have snuck into the pre-season picture this year, already donning 2-1 records along with Paloma Valley, but it is still the Heritage Patriots that are out in front and undefeated.

see WEEK TWO, page D-6

Rancho Verde’s Jamal Scott (28) seen here being tackled by Great Oak senior Jake Schwarzer ran for 272 yards on the night and had three TDs in their 37-27 triumph over the winless Wolfpack. Schwarzer, a Navy commit, wore an American flag sleeve for the 9/11 game.

Ten ways to become financially independent Nathaniel Sillin Special to Valley News After the 2008 economic crisis, many people assumed they would never be able to reach true financial independence – the ability to live comfortably off one’s savings and investments with no debt whatsoever.

However, individuals willing to use their time horizon to plan and adjust their spending, savings and investment behaviors might just find financial independence is possible.

Here are 10 ideas to get started.

1. Visualize first, then plan. Start by considering what your vision of financial independence actually looks like – and then get a reality check. Qualified financial experts can examine your current financial circumstances, listen to what financial independence means to you and help you craft a plan. The path to financial independence may be considerably different at age 20 than

it is at age 50; the more time you have to save and invest generally produces a better outcome. But at any age, start with a realistic picture of your options.

2. Budget. Budgeting (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting/) – the process of tracking income, subtracting expenses and deciding how to divert the difference to your goals each month – is the essential first task of personal finance. If you haven’t learned to budget, you need to do so.

3. Spend less than you earn. It might be obvious, but it’s one of the most difficult financial behaviors to execute. Adhering to a lower standard of living and expenses will help you put more money into savings and investments sooner.

4. Build smarter safety nets.

Emergency funds and insurance are rarely discussed in combination. The traditional definition of an emergency fund is a separate account

sources of work-related income, such as consulting part time. Also keep in mind that over the age of 50, the Internal Revenue Service allows you to make catch-up contributions (www. irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/PlanParticipant,-Employee/RetirementTopics-IRA-Contribution-Limits) to both 401(k) and IRA accounts.

7. Downsize. You’ll generally reach wealth financial goals faster if you can cut your overall living expenses. For some, that means selling your home and moving to a smaller one or to an area with lower living costs and taxes. You can also sell or donate property you don’t need and use those proceeds to extinguish debt or add to savings or investments.

8. Invest frugally. Become a student (www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/undrstndgrtrmnt.html) of investment fees and commissions because they can cut significantly into your principal. Make a full evaluation of fees you are paying on every investment account you have and if you’re working with a licensed professional who sells you financial products, know what fees they’re charging for their investment and advisory services.

9. Buy assets that generate in-

come. Stocks, real estate, collectibles or cash investments all have up and down markets. But do your homework and focus on investments bought at attractive prices that are likely to appreciate over time. Also, don’t forget to study the tax ramifications of any investment transaction you make.

10. Always know where you are financially. Financial planning isn’t about making one set of financial decisions and assuming you’re set.

Lives and situations change and your financial planning must be flexible enough to withstand both positive and negative changes without derailing your hopes for financial independence. If your forte is not investment, financial planning or tax matters, by all means bring in qualified experts to help. But financially independent people generally have their money issues at their fingertips not only for their own use, but for estate purposes as well.

Bottom line: Financial independence involves diligence and a bit of sacrifice, but even the smallest moves can yield big outcomes.

for cash that can be used instead of credit to repair a broken appliance or other expense that may run a few hundred dollars. However, many people keep insurance deductibles high to keep premiums low. Would you have enough cash on hand to cover an insurance deductible if you had a sudden claim? If not, build your deductible amounts into your emergency fund.

5. Eliminate debt. Though consumer debt levels have generally fallen since the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in February that home, student loan, auto and credit card debt began creeping up again in 2014. Getting rid of revolving, non-housing debt (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/costofcredit) is one of the most effective ways to free up money for savings and investment.

6. Consider your career. Financial independence doesn’t require you to quit a career you love, but you really can’t get to financial independence without steady income to fuel savings and investments that will build over time. Speak with qualified advisors about your income, benefits and retirement picture first, and see if you might be able to expand your

Deadline to apply for SBA Disaster Loans is Oct. 5 SACRAMENTO—Director Tanya N. Garfield of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Disaster Field Operations Center–West today reminded small, nonfarm businesses in all 58 California counties and neighboring counties in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon of the Oct. 5, 2015, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury. These low-interest loans are to offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought in Riverside County as well as many other counties that began Jan. 1, 2015.

According to Garfield, small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. “EIDLs may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact,” Garfield said.

“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the applicant suffered any property damage,”

Garfield added.

The interest rate is 4 percent for businesses and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.

Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency about the U.S. Department of Agriculture assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration. However, nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance in drought disasters.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application via SBA’s secure website at https:// disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling (800) 659-2955 or emailing disastercustomerservice@sba. gov. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339.

For more disaster assistance information, or to download applications, visit http://www.sba.gov/disaster.

Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Rd., Fort Worth, TX 76155.

Education

TVUSD students rank #1 overall in Riverside County in English and math on new Smarter Balanced assessments TEMECULA—TVUSD announced on Sept. 9 that its students exceeded overall expectations on the new Smarter Balanced assessments as part of the new California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.

Overall, TVUSD students scored an average of 20 percent higher in both English language arts and

math among Riverside County students, and 17 percent higher in ELA and 15 percent higher in math among students in the state. In addition, many of the district’s significant student subgroups, including special education and English language learners, also outperformed students in the county and state.

In the spring, students in grades

3 through 8 and 11 were tested in ELA and math aligned with the new state standards. The Smarter Balanced assessments are new computer-based tests and replaced the former paper-based, multiple choice assessments, previously known at the STAR tests.

“I believe the scores are a reflection of our hard working and dedi-

cated teachers, administrators and support staff who have worked tirelessly over the past three years to write curriculum and assessments and make instructional shifts that support higher levels of learning.

We have worked collaboratively to ensure that students receive high quality teaching and learning that we pride ourselves on in TVUSD.

The release of statewide scores sets a baseline year for school districts throughout California.

Mitchell graduates from Cadet Leader Course FORT KNOX, Ky.— Matthew Mitchell, an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, has graduated from the Cadet Leader Course at Fort Knox, Ky. CLC is a 30-day summer training event focused on training cadets

to solve complex leadership issues and problems at the company level.

Cadets arrive at CLC with a baseline of military skill sets; the cadets also have developed critical thinking and problem solving abilities during the academic

years. CLC builds upon the work accomplished on campus and develops the cadet’s small unit leadership ability in a tactical environment.

The leadership experience supports continued cadet development during the senior year of

the program. Cadets usually attend CLC between their junior and senior years of college, and they must complete the course to qualify for commissioning. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets

are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve.

Mitchell is the son of Steve Mitchell of Lake Elsinore and a 2012 graduate of Lakeside High School in Lake Elsinore.

Whether it’s the glory of the Southwestern League, the fierce competition from the Sunbelt League or the upbeat attitudes of the Ambassador League and South Valley League, players from all over the area are making big things happen on the volleyball courts, which is making for some of the best action around for fans to enjoy.

Last week in the Southwestern League, Murrieta Valley (9-6), who has been getting lots of work on the courts at quite a few different tournaments in the pre-season, swept the Fallbrook Warriors taking the three sets 25-18, 25-15, 2514. McKenna Miller had 10 kills and Ashlyn Gergins and Maggie Nielson both had 20 assists for the Nighthawks. Murrieta Valley will face King this week, and opens up league against Murrieta Mesa on Oct. 6.

“We have a great group of talented girls with awesome attitudes and we have a lot of work to do if we want to compete for league, but the atmosphere in the gym is the best it’s been in three years,” says head coach J.D. Miranda. “It’s going to be an exciting year.”

The Chaparral Pumas (3-1) dropped their first match of the pre-season, away against Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday, Sept. 8, losing three sets in a row, 20-25, 12-25, and 19-25. The Pumas turned things around the next day and took out King (Riverside), 3-1.

Chaparral won 25-19, 15-25, 2521 and 25-22. The Pumas were led

by Karli Koza, who had 29 digs, Julianne Nussbaum with 11 kills and Veronica Zanghieri and Aly Moriarty, who had 10 kills apiece.

Chaparral has Fallbrook this week and opens up league against Temecula Valley on Oct. 6.

Temecula Valley improved their record to 4-1 as they defeated Riverside Poly, 25-22, 25-21, 25-3. Head Coach Leanna Bush named Kali Greathead the player of the game. The Golden Bears will travel to face J.W. North this week and will also take on Centennial at home.

Over at Vista Murrieta, the Broncos (1-2) swept La Jolla, 25-21, 25-21, 25-18. Brianna Doermann led the team with 13 digs, while Maddie Nunley chipped in with 35 assists and Lexi Hadrych and Rachel Woody both contributed with 18 kills each. Vista Murrieta will travel to Edison this week, face Centennial at home and open up league on Oct. 6 against Great Oak. “This is a very strong

team that fights hard in practice and our team’s strength will come in our defense, their intensity on the court and their overall team unity” said Bronco Head Coach, Kristen Cooke.

The Murrieta Mesa Rams (5-3), who participated in the Fall Classic over this past weekend, swept Heritage, out of the Sunbelt League, on Thursday, Sept, 10, taking all three sets from the Patriots, 2513, 25-22 and 26-24. The Lady Rams are on a mission to prove they can compete this year and players like Kali Uhl, Leimomi Arscott, Charlotte Greek, and Kiara Schmidt are all hoping to make a difference. Mesa Coach Bonnee Burdine-Arscott said, “We have a more versatile group of players than ever before and our defense looks promising.” Murrieta Mesa will travel this week, taking on Tahquitz (0-1) and Elsinore (12-5).

Finally, defending 2014 champions, the Great Oak Wolfpack (2-0) took care of business as they beat Palm Springs 3-1 on Tuesday, Sept. 7, winning 25-13, 25-10, 2325 and 25-16. The Wolfpack was led by Cindy Marina who had 26 assists, Bailee Huizenga with 11 kills and Sam Rice, who contributed to the wins with 11 digs. Great Oak faces Westview this week and opens up league against Vista Murrieta on Oct. 6.

The Sunbelt League is showing much promise as Elsinore (12-5) remains a powerhouse, but Heritage (2-1) and Paloma Valley (3-3) put up great numbers in their recent outings. Faith Galvan, Brenna Sullivan and Alex Blackwell are all names the Wildcats have leaned heavily on so far this season and lead most categories in the league.

In the South Valley League, the Santa Rosa Academy girls are out in front winning eight of their last 11 matches, while Rancho Christian is hot on their heels wining five of their seven so far.

Calvary Murrieta (1-2) jumped out to 1-0 in league last week as they defeated Public Safety Academy, 25-8, 25-4 and 25-8. Abby Roth led the Warriors with 24 assists, while Anna Holman scored 10 kills and Abby Roth served up 13 aces.

Linfield of the Ambassador League, took out La Sierra on Sept. 12 and also defeated he Calvary Murrieta Warriors in their last game, bringing their record to 4-0 overall. The Lions won, 25-22, 24-14 and 25-16 and will play at home this week against Temecula Prep and on the road against Arrowhead Christian.

The Chaparral High School graduate, who is currently the Western New Mexico University quarterback, opened his senior season Sept. 5 by completing 27 of his 35 passes for 434 yards and six touchdowns in the Mustangs’ 70-14 home win over Arizona Christian.

“A lot of people played really well around me, and I just got a lot of the statistics,” Glasmann said. “I was the end result, but they were playing really well.”

Glasmann’s completions were to ten different receivers and his touchdown passes were caught by three different teammates. The longest completion of the day was a 71-yard touchdown throw to Larry Young which was one of Glasmann’s two touchdown passes in the first quarter. Glasmann threw for one touchdown in the second quarter and three scores in the third period.

“He played really well,” said WNMU head coach Adam Clark.

Glasmann was one of five Division II offensive studs of the week.

Linfield vindicated themselves last week with a 38-14 win, taking out Polytechnic, who beat them twice last year, once in the regular season and then again in the CIF-SS Northwest Division Playoffs.

In the third quarter Lorenzo scored once again on a 52-yard run and then drove the Lions downfield under center, hitting Isaiah Pate with a 25-yard TD pass.

WEEK TWO from page D-6 This time last year, Perris was on its way to its first ever undefeated season, until league games started, where they disappointedly went 1-4 during the remainder of their year.

Last week the Perris defense, led by senior Ahmad Jackson, only allowed six points on the board against a visiting team from Pacific High School.
