People gather around the Veterans Memorial site at the Temecula Duck Pond during the September 11th Memorial.

Alex Groves Staff Writer “We shall never forget,” was the prevailing message as more than two dozen people gathered together in a ceremony at the Temecula Duck Pond to remember the events that occurred September 11, 2001. City officials and members of

the community took to a podium that had been setup to share their thoughts, memories and insights on a tragic event that is now 13 years past. “I turned on the radio and I remember the announcer say that the first World Trade Center had fallen,” Temecula Mayor Maryanne Edwards said. “And I thought it

was a joke, or a re-enactment.” Eventually, however, Edwards realized that it wasn’t a joke when the announcer on the radio said they weren’t sure whether the collapse was structural or the result of a terrorist attack. When she arrived to the Rotary Club at the Sizzler for an event she had to attend, everyone was doing the same thing.

“They were all huddled there around the television set and everyone was looking in silence,” Edwards said. “And we continued to stand there and discuss, and of course the images on the television were horrific and the tower was burning. And we stood there until

Somber candlelight vigil in Murrieta remembers those lost on 9/11

PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID FALLBROOK, CA PERMIT #499

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News As the heat of the day subsided and sun set, a few hundred people gathered on a grassy knoll outside the Murrieta Library on Thursday, Sept. 11 for a candlelight vigil to remember and pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 who perished 13 years ago in terrorist attacks. Families sat on picnic blankets and children played and waved miniature American flags while waiting for the city sponsored ceremony to begin. The sound of bagpipes from the Inland Empire Professional Firefighters Pipes and Drums tuning up lent a somber sound fit for the day. A fire truck hoisted its ladder over a stage where an American flag

waved in the evening breeze. The ceremony began at sunset with the Pledge of Allegiance. As the crowd stood facing Old Glory, a glow emerged from 2,977 luminary bags placed along the pathways along the knoll. Each bag represented a person killed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The victims’ names were printed on the bags as well as which attack they died in – the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or the fields in Pennsylvania. Murrieta City Council Member Rick Gibbs began the ceremony by giving a personal account of how the events of 9/11 affected him and his family. Gibbs had family who lived three blocks from the WTC and his son was working in the

Three words – Because Nice Matters – are written on a plaque that hangs on the wall of the office of Judy Stapleton, an Assistant Principal in charge of discipline at Great Oak High School. Those three words are inspiring a revolutionary grass roots movement that is changing the culture at her school, permeating throughout the district and is now reaching out into the community. The movement is growing, even attracting the attention of professors at USC and in Israel, according to Stapleton.

“I saw the plaque in a catalog,” said Stapleton, “and my first thought was ‘what a sad commentary on our society that we need to be reminded’ and then it dawned on me that we do need to be reminded – and held accountable. So I bought it and hung it on my office wall.” Stapleton also said that 40 percent of all high school bullies have a felony on their record by age 25. The three words inspired Stapleton to reach out to her coworker at the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD), Michael Hubbard, with a plan to emphasize

Hard News Downpours damage Elsinore High School, trigger floods, power outages

The third base duggout at Elsinore High without the roof and sidewalls. Tuesday’s downpour and heavy winds blew the baseball clubhouse JP Raineri photos roof onto the football field hundreds of feet away.

WILDOMAR - Thunderstorm cells pounded Southwest Riverside County today, damaging a school, flooding streets and knocking out power in multiple locations. Isolated thunderstorms rolled into the Lake Elsinore area shortly after 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, dumping heavy rain that left several feet of standing water in pockets of the city. According to the Riverside County Fire Department, crews were called to Elsinore High School at 21800 Canyon Drive in response to weather-related damage and discovered a portion of the campus flooded. Structures on the athletic field were left in disrepair, according to reports from the scene. Classes had apparently ended by

the time the damage occurred. No injuries were reported. According to fire department officials, the Pepper Tree RV park was also flooded, though it was unclear how many residents were impacted. According to Southern California Edison, storm-related power outages left around 4,000 customers without electricity in the Lake Elsinore and Wildomar areas. Crews were making repairs, but as of press time, the SCE website indicated that most customers would not have power restored until sometime Wednesday afternoon. Fire department officials said power lines collapsed during downpours along Lemon, Orchard, Peck and Waite streets, as well as Adelfa and Grand avenues and Canyon

Traffic accident causes fatality in Lake Elsinore A passenger was killed early Saturday, Sept. 13 when a car plowed into a traffic sign and then a traffic signal pole in Lake Elsinore. Anthony Borrego, 40, of Lake Elsinore, was pronounced dead at the crash, at Lake Street and Alberhill Ranch Road, deputies said. Dispatchers received a call at 1:53 a.m. and deputies found the driver of a Honda Civic had lost control and crashed into the roadway sign, and then a signal,

Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Cardoza said. The driver climbed out of the wreckage but Borrego was dead. Alcohol did not play a role in the fatal crash and the driver -- whose name was not released -- was taken to a hospital for treatment of an undisclosed injury, Cardoza said. Deputies temporarily shut down the intersection to traffic for about five hours.

Drive. Flooding was reported along Valencia and Waite streets, Paradise Lane, Prairie Avenue and View Crest Drive. Broadcast reports showed several locations temporarily inaccessible to traffic because of standing water. According to the Riverside County Department of Public Works, no county roads in the area were closed as a result of flooding or mud flows.

The storm picked up brand new double-sided metal batting cages weighing hundreds of pounds, twisting them and throwing them to the ground.

Supervisors give themselves, other elected officials pay raises in split vote Paul Young Contributor RIVERSIDE - In a split vote on September 10, Riverside County supervisors approved pay raises for themselves and five other elected officials, making the sheriff and district attorney better paid than their counterparts in several neighboring counties. Supervisors Kevin Jeffries and Jeff Stone opposed the increases, while Supervisors Marion Ashley, John Benoit and John Tavaglione supported them. “This is still not the best of economic times,” Stone said ahead of the vote. “Nobody believes we’re out of the economic doldrums that we found ourselves in back in 2007. The timing of any raises for elected officials sends the wrong message.” Jeffries reiterated his position from Aug. 5, when the board first addressed the proposed hikes, saying he could not get behind pushing salaries higher based on principle. According to the supervisor, he had informed the Department of Human Resources to freeze his salary regardless of the board’s action. Benoit called the salary adjustments “reasonable” and pointed out that unless the sheriff’s pay was boosted, the county’s top lawman would be making less than six

executive-level sheriff’s officials, who are receiving six-figure salaries thanks to collective bargaining agreements. When the boss makes less than an underling, the disparity is known as “compaction” in government speak. The salary hikes, which take effect Sept. 18, will increase annual base compensation for AuditorController Paul Angulo, AssessorClerk-Recorder Larry Ward and Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent by 16 percent, from $165,727 to $191,365. District Attorney Paul Zellerbach, who will hand over the reins -- and his paycheck -- to veteran prosecutor Mike Hestrin in January, will receive an 11 percent hike, from $223,166 to $247,024. And Sheriff Stan Sniff will receive a 20 percent hike, from $223,166 to $268,101. Each of the supervisors -- except for Jeffries -- will see their paychecks swell from $143,031 a year to $147,688. The roughly 3 percent bump up stems from a formula established in the 1990s that guarantees supervisors receive 80 percent of the total annual base compensation collected by Superior Court judges. Several speakers found fault with the adjustment. “You’re taking advantage of your

position by raising your incomes,” Meadowbrook resident Gary Grant told the board. Temecula resident Paul Jacobs said the supervisors’ “experience and education (don’t) equal that of a judge,” and hence the compensation formula was unjustifiable. “Your salaries are grossly out of proportion to other offices,” Jacobs said. “You’re making more than what a state assemblyman receives.” Human Resources chief Michael Stock told the board last month that the five elected officials due for salary increases had not received any adjustments in pay since 2008. Stock also noted that “a recent external market salary survey” comparing the earnings of similarly placed officials elsewhere supported the increases. Sniff’s new $268,000 yearly salary compares to $144,088 for Imperial County’s sheriff, $207,984 for Orange County’s, $231,924 for San Bernardino’s and $234,012 for San Diego’s top law enforcement official. Meantime Zellerbach -- and soon-to-be Hestrin’s -- new $247,000 annual income compares to $161,340 for Imperial County’s district attorney, $207,984 for Orange County’s, $214,332 for San Bernardino County’s, and $252,780 for San Diego’s top prosecutor.

Code of Fair Campaign Practice violation alleged in Menifee race Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News The race for mayor in Menifee between incumbent Scott Mann and opponent Paul Wiggins is heating up. Mayor Scott Mann is fuming over what he described in a press release as a “repulsive and false campaign smear” against him. Mann said he has demanded his opponent Paul Wiggins stand up against the fliers following the Code of Fair Campaign Practices. Mann claims a flier has been hung on the front door of homes in Menifee, specifically in Sun City, that includes defamatory statements and falsehoods. According to Mann, the fliers read, “Mann has done too much damage to the city and carries too much baggage to be a good mayor,” and “Vote no for Scott Mann for mayor of Menifee.” Mann said the fliers also have statements such as “crime has shot up under Mann as Mayor 200-percent.” In the press release Mann writes,

Hill also introduced purple Nice Notes. Nicolas Valley Elementary students created Anti-Bully posters and did the Crumpled Paper activity. At Day Middle School, student council members awarded pins for demonstrated acts of kindness; recipients then passed the pins on to others demonstrating acts of kindness. Abby Reinke Elementary students pledged not to bully by putting their handprints on a banner. Nicolas Valley Elementary also had a Spellman Magic Anti-Bullying assembly, Compliment Day, and watched the DVD “Bullies Are A Pain in the Brain.” Many also had assemblies, education sessions, video announcements, folders with kindness/ anti-bullying articles, teachers giving out positive referrals, etc. All schools in the district participated in the Thursday and Friday clothing activity. Also that second year, Jason Osborne, Director of Transportation for TVUSD, took one school bus out of circulation for that week and allowed Great Oak students to paint it with water-soluble paint to get the message out in a big way. Osborne drives the ambassador bus himself to the particular “Because Nice Matters” events around the district. The bus is a focal point at many of the scheduled activities. Last year, Temecula Valley students painted the bus; this year it’s Chaparral High’s turn. Balka started bringing the messages and her peer leader students to the middle schools and elementary schools feeding Great Oak. “They soak up the messages from the high school kids like sponges. They really look up to them,” she said. Temecula Valley cheerleaders attended the morning Flag Salute at Vintage Hills Elementary. Last year, the Temecula City Council proclaimed – in perpetuity – the last week of September as “Because Nice Matters” week in Temecula. This year, that week is September 22-26 and a diverse group of community members – citizens, volunteers, educators, and civic and business leaders, including Mayor Maryanne Edwards – met together

for the first time, hoping to spread the message community-wide. “We are not asking for anything,” said Stapleton, “just for individuals, organizations and businesses to spread the message, to do something nice for somebody during that week.“ Businesses can decorate their offices in purple and black, offer “Because Nice Matters” specials, wear purple and black, create or participate in a philanthropic event, etc. A Facebook “Temecula Because Nice Matters” page has been established to share thoughts and activities, pictures of the events, and other news and information on the program. The group is encouraging everyone to like the page and refer it. Peter and Rhonda Giummo of Tri-Lakes Sportswear have offered to print the purple and black T-shirts at cost ($5 per shirt, including organization or corporate logos on the sleeve) as a way to spread awareness of the “Because Nice Matters” message. Peter can be reached at pgiummo@trilakesca. com. Valley News is offering to share some of this year’s school, business, and community activities and acts of kindness in a future edition to inspire others in the community. Please send a brief description and one or two high-resolution pictures of your “Because Nice Matters” news to editor@myvalleynews.com. Put “Because Nice Matters” in the subject line. In the words of Edmund Burke, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.” Nice does matter.

governing elections.” Wiggins said today that he was not aware of any such flier. “I first heard about this flier Sunday when another media outlet called me and asked me about it,” said Wiggins. “I called Scott myself and told him I knew nothing about it.” Wiggins said he has only one flyer out and his campaign is a grass roots campaign. “I am not going to do anything more at this time,” said Wiggins. This is not the first Menifee city election campaign in which anonymous fliers were distributed with false allegations against candidates. In 2012, someone distributed fliers attacking Mayor Candidate Darcy Kuenzi and City Council Candidate Sue Kristjansson. Both candidates lost in the election. A forum is taking place for candidates running for office in Menifee Wednesday, Sept. 17. “I will not be taking part in this week’s forum,” said Wiggins. “Scott Mann told he could not make it so since he won’t be there neither will I.”

being nice as a pre-emptive educational approach to the disciplinary challenges – fights, bullying, etc. - experienced in school environments. The goal was to make the campus a Bully-Free Zone. Stapleton teamed up with Don Skaggs (activities director) and Lisa Balka (in charge of “Link Crew,“ a peer leader program). The campaign rolled out at Great Oak High School four years ago with events and posters sharing the harmful effects of bullying and the importance of being nice. There was a large banner poster reading “We’re All Not That Different” upon which students placed their handprints in either black or purple paint. Students were encouraged to wear “purple and black” clothing on a Thursday, signifying the bruising – internal and external – suffered by victims of physical, verbal and emotional abuse. Students were then encouraged to wear white shirts on Friday, signifying a “clean slate” where everyone starts fresh. The different clothing colors made a visual impact on students and teachers alike, shared Stapleton. Stapleton said she has noticed a definite decrease each year in the number and severity of incidents reported on her campus of almost 4,000 students. Following the success of the program at Great Oak, “Because Nice Matters” was introduced to TVUSD’s Governing Board and the district’s principals. The district decided to take the campaign districtwide to its 27 schools. Principals were given a binder full of resources, statistics, handouts, quizzes and news reports on bullying from across the nation. Each school was free to create their own activities during the week to bring awareness to the subject. At Rancho Elementary, students signed door banners with pledges. Gardner Middle School held a door decoration contest. Temecula Middle School and Crowne Hill Elementary distributed purple wristbands. Temecula Middle School also created a “No Bullying” chain made of student pledges. Crowne

“This cheap shot was anonymous, without proper identification of the sender and in violation of the state Political Reform Act.” Mann said he is not saying his opponent authored the false literature, but is demanding Wiggins stand up against the practice according to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices pledge. Mann’s reference is to a document signed by both Mann and Wiggins when each applied to run for mayor in November. A signer of the Code of Fair Campaign Practices pledges neither candidate will permit the use of character defamation, whispering campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks on any candidate or his or her personal or family life. It also states each candidate will “publicly refute support stemming from any individual or group that resorts, on behalf of my candidacy or in opposition to that of my opponent, to the methods and tactics that I condemn. I shall accept responsibility to take firm action against any subordinate who violates any provision of this code or the laws

Motorcyclists roll from San Diego to Temecula in support of wounded veteran Alex Groves Staff Writer

Dozens of motorcyclists rolled in to Quaid Harley Davidson to much fanfare as temperatures hit the triple digits on Saturday, Sept. 13 during a fundraiser geared toward helping a veteran in need. The event was San Diego’s First Annual Wounded Vets Run, a motorcycle ride that started in San Diego and ended in Temecula. The event was started with the purpose of benefiting veterans who

faced injuries or difficulties due to their time at war. The inaugural ride was dedicated to helping Cpl. Jorge Salazar of the Marines. Salazar lost both of his legs in Afghanistan after stepping on an IED. The incident occurred when he took charge of his squad after his squad leader was injured. Today Salazar faces many challenges as a result of his injury, but he said he was honored and grateful that there was an event put together to recognize and benefit him.

the Quaid Harley Davidson location outside of Old Town Temecula. Burgers and hot dogs were cooked on the grill and The Phoenix Patriot Band was belting out a variety of popular rock tunes as well as rock renditions of patriotic songs. A special part of the day’s event was set aside so a group of four Marines could display the colors and the Phoenix Patriot Band could play the "Star Spangled Banner." The event was inspired by a similar vet run that takes place on a yearly basis in Boston. The event gained in popularity so much that other large cities began organizing vet runs of their own. Andrew Biggio, founder of the event in Boston, presented various members of the military community with vials of ash from the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11 as a way to commemorate the event and

remember the military community for their service. Cpl. Salazar, Staff Sgt. Tim Chambers, Phoenix Vet Run Founder Joe Stazione and Gunnery Sgt. Charles Foster were all presented with vials from Biggio. Chambers is best known for being the “Saluting Marine.” He worked as a member of the Korea War Memorial and at one time stood for hours saluting his fellow Marines and soldiers for their service to the country at an event in Washington, D.C. “I thought ‘I’ve got to come out in my dress blues and support them,’” Chambers said of his experience in Washington, D.C. “I needed to thank them, because I didn’t think a lot of them ever got a pat on the back, a job well done or anything like that. And I was burying a lot of them and that’s way too late for me to thank someone.” Stazione was the first person to bring

the event out west. Stazione stayed in contact with Foster and Biggio during their effort to make the event a reality locally. Gunnery Sgt. Charles Foster is a member of the Marines who was inspired by vet runs in Boston and Phoenix. He reached out to Biggio in an effort to facilitate an event similar to the one in the City on a Hill. “With Southern California being a big military community, there are a lot of wounded veterans out here who aren’t getting the help they need from the VA or other entities,” Foster said. “Talking with Andy we started putting it together and started organizing it to make it happen for Corporal Salazar and his family.” Biggio said he was very happy with his fellow Marines and was proud to be presenting them with a remembrance of 9/11. “I want you guys to have these for the rest of eternity and I’m proud to call you my brothers,” said Biggio, as he gave each of the individuals their vials of ash from the World Trade Center. The event had a positive effect on many of the veterans, especially Salazar. “It’s a very good event and I’m very happy and honored to be here,” Salazar said. All proceeds garnered from the event through donations and sponsorships went directly to Cpl. Salazar and his family. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com

Local Charity event raises funds for abused and neglected children will be the first to try the program. However, Garcia expressed hope it would go countywide and farther. About 200 guests attended the fundraiser, which was kicked off with the HOJF polo team, led by Geraldine Strunsky, who squared off against team Doffo Winery. A petting zoo, pony rides and wine tasting also took place along with an awards ceremony recog-

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News The Humanity of Justice Foundation, founded by Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Burke Strunsky and his wife Geraldine hosted its second annual Polo Luncheon and Gala at the Temecula Valley Polo Club Saturday, Sept 14. The keynote address was delivered by Marala Scott, a motivational speaker and author. Scott was named by Oprah Winfrey as an “ambassador of hope,” because of her survival of child abuse. “Child abuse and neglect is an epidemic devastating lies,” said Scott. “If one out of every four people has been abused that means at every table here in this room at least one person has been abused.” Scott told the crowd how her father who was in a powerful public position abused her, her brothers and mother. “I was that 9-year-old who was begging for someone to help me and that help never came,” said Scott. “If you are abused and survive, I encourage you to go out and help the people who need help. Be that person to someone being abused who you didn’t get.” Scott’s message was not to remain a victim; if someone faces and overcomes adversity they should go out and teach others. At the charity event two programs aimed at comforting children who find themselves thrust into in the criminal justice system through no fault of their own were introduced. The first program the Humanity of Justice Foundation (HOJF) spoke about initiating was “Paws for Healing,’’ which provides dogs for children called to testify in criminal trials. As part of the program, a specially trained canine is approved and allowed into the witness box to sit with a child, who can cuddle the pet to ease anxiety. Jennifer Garcia, president and board member of HOJF introduced Eric Garcia a community liaison and board member who is helping to launch Humanity Bears. “We want to place these teddy bears in patrol cars so that when a law enforcement officer removes a child from an abusive household and places him or her in the custody of child welfare workers, the kids will have a comforting object to make the experience less traumatic,” said Garcia. Garcia went on to describe how

the idea of the teddy bear came about after responding to a call where a little boy at the scene asked him for a hug. “I picked that little boy up and

held him like he was my child. I wasn’t sure if he knew what was going on but he wanted comfort-he knew that,” said Garcia. The sheriff’s Temecula station

Local MEMORIAL from page A-1 the second tower fell and we watched live.” “Everybody remembers where they were that morning,” she said. Mayor Pro-Tem Jeff Comerchero, who also spoke, recounted his fear and his frustration when he heard of the attacks. His brother worked in one of the buildings and Comerchero wasn’t sure whether he had made it out alive in those initial days following the attacks. Comerchero said he remembered the angst he had until he could get communication with his brother four days later. His brother had been out of the office that morning for a dental appointment. Comerchero went on to say he recognized that the experience had been harrowing and difficult but that time has offered people closure. “But you know what? We’re here, and it’s 13 years later,” Comerchero said. “And we remember, and we still have some sadness – a lot of sadness – in our heart, but we’ve moved on, and we will con-

tinue to do that.” The event featured a special guest speaker, Paula Shapiro, whose son had died in the World Trade Center attack. Eric Adam Eisenberg was in the Second Tower when it was struck by the plane. He was killed while he and a coworker were helping the other people in their office to evacuate. Eric had just gotten his first six figure job, he loved football and had an incredible sense of humor. “I miss him very, very much,” Shapiro said. At the end of the ceremony those present at the Duck Pond gathered together and reflected quietly as city officials laid a wreath at a monument dedicated to those who had died for their country. It was hard to discern what people were thinking about, but Shapiro was undoubtedly thinking about Eric. “It was a horrible day, but now it’s a day for thinking of others,” she said.

Local VIGIL from page A-1 Pentagon when it was attacked. Mayor Alan Long, who was a young firefighter in 2001, also spoke. He expressed condolences to the hundreds of firefighters lost trying to save lives. Gina Molina, who attended the ceremony alone, said she was touched by the thousands of luminary bags. “This is great. I want to remember

the innocent lives taken on that terrible day,” she said. The ceremony ended with a haunting rendition of “Amazing Grace” played on the bagpipes. Afterwards, the crowd was ushered to a tent where they could write messages and thoughts on cards about the terrorist’s attacks and the victims who perished. The cards will be placed in a book that will be kept at the city library. Xavier Oswalt, 5, signed a

card with the help of his father Chris Oswalt. “God bless America,” he wrote. “His mom and me both served in the Army,” said Chris Oswalt, a Murrieta resident. “It is important he gets involved.” “We want our children to know what 9/11 means,” said Daisy Oswalt, Xavier ’s mom and a veteran who served in Iraq in 2005 and has four other children with her husband.

The City of Lake Elsinore is a safer community now that a longawaited quint fire truck has arrived and is operational. The truck is the most sophisticated apparatus in the fire department’s fleet and has been a dream of the city since the Rosetta Canyon Fire Station No. 97 was in its planning stages. The new truck has a four-person crew including one paramedic, but can fit up to six. It’s capable of carrying water and fighting fires as a self-contained unit and will be fitted with medical equipment for paramedic use. The truck also has a ladder that can perform technical and heavy rescue operations. The department’s response capabilities to emergency calls will be reduced significantly. It may also allow Lake Elsinore residents and businesses to benefit because their property insurance rates could be reduced. “Quint” is a reference to the truck’s five unique features. It carries 300 gallons of water, a built-in pump and water hose. Along with a 75-foot ladder on top of the truck, it has standard-sized ladders and an aerial ladder. It also has a basket

to lift a victim out of a structure or canyon. “This truck is like a rolling tool box on wheels,” said Captain Joe Taylor. The truck can be used for functions such as structure ventilation, forcible entry rescues, and extrications of crash victims, rescues from high places, trench and confined space rescues and water rescues. The bright traditional red colored truck is the pride and joy of the firefighters at Station No. 97. Driver Daniel Beeson said having the truck will save the department time during rescues when time is critical. “We are going to save a lot of time when it comes to certain rescues,” he said. “We used to have to call for ladder trucks from surrounding communities, which costs time.” Beeson has been a firefighter for 23 years and as the driver he is the one responsible for incident set up once at the scene, extending the ladder if needed and other responsibilities. “It’s a lot of fun to drive, the Cadillac of fire trucks,” he said. The truck is also capable of driving on the Ortega Highway easier than the other fire trucks, according to Beeson.

“Now that we have our own quint, we can shave 10 minutes off our rescue time on the Ortega Highway,” Taylor said. He added that they receive calls to rescue people weekly on the highway. “This truck will definitely come in handy if we have a major earthquake,” said Fireman and Paramedic Fernie Guzman. “We have the capability to do urban search and rescue now.” Station No. 97 is located at Rosetta Canyon and Ardenwood. It serves the northeastern part of the city, including Highway 74, the Central-Collier business district and the county area east of the city limits. The truck was manufactured by Smeal Fire Apparatus Co. in Nebraska and it took almost a year to build after it was ordered. Station No. 97 serves the city and adjacent unincorporated communities in Riverside County. Since the county will share the use of the truck, it’s also sharing the cost. It cost $805,052 and the equipment to load up the truck was an additional $174,020. Riverside County reimbursed the city $300,000, according to reports.

New law improves safety by giving bicyclists more space on the road The California Department of Motor Vehicles is alerting drivers about a new law that requires them to give bicyclists, traveling in the same direction, three feet of clearance when passing. The Three Feet for Safety Act took effect September 16. According to the new law (AB1371, Bradford), signed by Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. last September, if traffic or roadway conditions prevent motorists from giving cyclists three feet of space, drivers must “slow to a speed that is reasonable and prudent” and only

pass when a cyclist will not be in danger. Violations are punishable by a $35 fine. Motorists who collide with cyclists and injure them while violating the new law can be subject to a $220 fine. Under the previous law, a vehicle was simply required to pass to the left at a “safe distance.” Each year in California, more than 100 people are killed and hundreds of thousands more are injured in bicycle collisions. Some bicycle related crashes are connected to the bicyclist’s behavior, while others are due to the motorist’s lack of attention. Bicycle riders on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists, and are subject to

the same rules and regulations. Refer to the “California Driver Handbook” to become familiar with these rules. Motorists must look carefully for bicyclists before turning left or right, merging into bicycle lanes, and opening doors next to moving traffic. Respect the right-of-way of bicyclists because they are entitled to share the road. California is among 24 states that require motorists to give bicyclists three feet of clearance while passing, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Murrieta man making film of his 2014 feats to inspire others to reach goals Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News

2014 has been a busier than average year for Murrieta resident Nick Green, 23. Since New Year’s Day, the adventure guide, personal trainer, and model has been accomplishing a multitude of new feats to show what one person can do in a year’s time if they’re determined enough. Green has been recording his accomplishments to make a six to 10-minute motivational film that will be released on YouTube this coming New Year’s Day. The film will also be promoted on websites of sponsors who have helped him with his feats. The sponsors are Bomber Floating

Eyewear, Mind FX, Vacation Races, Joie de Vivre La Ferme, Q103.3, Skyline Productions and Freedom in Motion. Family and friends have helped, too. “We have released some video previews, but the full video will be released on January 1, 2015 just as everyone has made their New Year’s resolutions,” Green said. “I want viewers to see the film and be inspired and motivated to actually follow through with their resolutions and even set more.” Some of the feats to be featured in the film are Green flying a plane, skydiving, snorkeling, scuba diving, flyboarding, snowboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding, cliff jumping, go kart racing, hiking the Grand Canyon, auditioning for the

television show “American Ninja Warrior”, radio broadcasting, and starting his own business Superhuman Guided Adventures. Green said he accomplishes four to eight new feats each month depending on how challenging they are. Before the year ends, he plans on climbing Mt. Whitney, running a half marathon at Lake Powell, obtaining a scuba diving certificate, sandboarding and bungee jumping. He got the idea for doing a film after he graduated from college last year and moved to California from Missouri. “With the ability to reach millions with social media and YouTube, I decided that I wanted to show how much one person can accomplish in one year’s time if

they put every ounce of energy into reaching their goals,” Green said. “Not only can I live my life to the fullest extent, but in doing so I can also inspire so many others to change their lives and live their dreams. “I thought a lot about what I wanted to accomplish,” he continued. “There have been many individuals who have inspired me from my hometown [Owensville, Mo.] all the way up to the large personalities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tony Robbins. Knowing their stories gave me the courage to risk it all and chase my dreams, I decided to take the road less traveled. In doing so, I made a list of what I wanted to do, see, experience and who I wanted to become.” While sharing his personal goals and accomplishments with people, he saw they them get inspired by his journey. “I started to receive dozens of emails a week from friends, family and even strangers reaching out and asking me about how I have accomplished so much. I decided to share my formula for setting goals and accomplishing them. What better way than to make an inspirational short film to capture what one can do in one year’s time if they put their mind to it,” he said. Some of Green’s goals for next year and beyond are to obtain

a pilot’s license, climb Mt. Everest, cage dive, be a movie stuntman, do motivational speaking and write a book about his experiences. He also wants to audition again for the next season of “American Ninja Warrior.” “Although I did not make it on this year, I have been training nonstop to prepare for next season. I am currently working with my cousin Blake Newland of Skyline Productions filming my audition tape for the 2015 season,” Green said. “I want to show if you put your mind to something you can really make it happen. I plan on using the clips from the motivational film for my video submission and am able to accomplish a big goal of mine, which is to compete on ‘American Ninja Warrior’.” “I have had so much fun and feeling of accomplishment with this film that I am going to continue to record my life adventures living my dreams and produce a video every year,” he said.

Don’t get in a rush when barbecuing chicken

Pictured above is Rachel Ray’s Honey-Mustard and Red Onion Barbecued Chicken.

Instructions: 1. Dry rub: In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients. Sprinkle the rub evenly all over the chicken pieces.

Numerous types of barbecue sauce can be used on grilled chicken pieces.

Debbie Ramsey Staff Writer

With a maintained temperature of between 230 and 250 degrees, there should not be any need to stand over the grill with a spray bottle of water in hand. At this rate, the chicken should take close to two hours or slightly more to cook. Some may think this is not a hot enough fire to cook the chicken, but allow it the time and be pleasantly surprised. It is important to note that this method is not recommended for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. When the chicken is done – 165 degrees Fahrenheit according to www.foodsafety.gov – then begin basting it with the chosen sauce. The sauce should appear to be glazed on the chicken in about five minutes. Some like to turn the flame up a bit at this point so a few licks of flames can sizzle the edges for a perfect end result. At this time, constantly monitor the process and be prepared to douse flames as needed. Two very different recipes are noted below.

arbecued chicken is one of the many favorites Californians enjoy yearround, but it is also one of the meat choices that can be tricky to turn out perfectly. When brushed with barbecue sauce too early in the process, barbecue chicken will burn easily. Keeping flames at bay can be difficult at best due to the sugar (or honey) in the sauce and the fatty skin.The ideal result is chicken that is done (no pink), but juicy, with a slightly flamed exterior, but not incinerated. Top grill chefs concur that the secret to nicely barbecued on-thebone chicken is not rushing the process. This means simply season the chicken first and then put it on the grill on a low heat setting for an extended cooking time. Resist the urge to apply the barbecue sauce until the last few minutes of cooking.

Weber Barbecued Chicken Rub and Sauce *Recipe suitable for four whole chicken legs (cut into thighs and drumsticks) Dry rub: 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 2 teaspoons kosher salt Finely grated zest of 1 lemon ½ teaspoon granulated garlic ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Sauce: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 cup ketchup ½ cup lemon-lime soda (not diet) ¼ cup fresh lemon juice ¼ cup packed golden brown sugar 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

Salt and freshly ground black pepper Preparation: Pre-heat grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Pour two tablespoons vegetable oil into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add red onions and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce by half, about 1 to 2 minutes, or longer, if necessary. Add brown sugar and cook one minute to incorporate. Whisk in broth and honey mustard, allspice and curry. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to lowest setting. Coat chicken with a drizzle of oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes, then turn. Baste chicken liberally with sauce and cook another 4 to 5 minutes. Turn once again and baste. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more to cook through. Transfer chicken to a platter and serve.

2. Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the oil, onion, and garlic until golden, about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. ******* Rachel Ray’s Honey-Mustard and Red Onion Barbecued Chicken (For boneless, skinless chicken breasts) Serves four Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ½ red onion, chopped ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup brown sugar (a couple of handfuls) 1 cup chicken stock ½ cup prepared honey mustard, such as Honey Cup brand ½ teaspoon allspice ½ teaspoon curry powder 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs Extra vegetable oil, for drizzling

Chefs recommend grilling the chicken on a low heat setting for an extended cooking time before brushing with barbecue sauce.

The Movie Review: ‘Dolphin Tale 2’ Robert Nickerson Special to the Valley News Though I don’t remember the first time I got a hug nor do I recall the first time I ate ice cream, I do recall the first pet I had. It was a white fluffy cat named Cepe. I had to have been 3 or 4 when that animal first sat on my lap. Coincidentally, this was about the time when my family and I moved from Long Beach to Murrieta. I have to stop there as just having the animal is all I remember. He ran away at some point, but the memory of the animal is still fresh along with the other pets I’ve had because of the connection I’ve made. A lot of people think there’s a telekinetic relationship between animals and the people that they love. I’m on that same wavelength as I believe that my two dogs have an understanding of my emotions, even though they don’t have those same spirits. So I can understand why animal volunteers and even scientists claim that they have something with animals that people don’t understand. It’s something about our connection to other species that we as mankind can apply to our prejudices. This connection is examined with sea life in “Dolphin Tale 2.” The original movie was about the tailless dolphin named Winter who was rescued and given a prosthetic fin that gave back its ability

to swim. Now the boy that rescued her, Sawyer (played by Nathan Gamble) is now in high school and is studying to be a marine biologist while continuing to volunteer at the marine hospital that’s become a successful aquarium. Dr. Clay Haskett (played by Harry Connick, Jr.), his daughter Hazel (played by Cozi Zuehlsdorff) and the rest of the staff have been juggling around keeping a clean attraction while caring for the sea turtles, fish, and its star, Winter. Sawyer is offered a scholarship for a semester at sea program that could be great for him, but he’s contemplating whether he can spend months away from the dolphin he loves. At the same time, another dolphin named Panama has passed away. This causes Winter to seem distressed and even puts Sawyer in danger. Sawyer and Hazel are looking at a new dolphin named Mandy to be paired with Winter, but that fails when the animal heals and needs to be released. Dr. Clay Haskett does everything he can to hold off the government from transferring Winter to another park as they try and find another dolphin to be a suitable companion. Without sounding like a party pooper, I’ll say that the first “Dolphin Tale” was not a good movie to begin with. I found the material

schmaltzy, but at least harmless enough to recommended for kids who haven’t seen the “boy and his animal” story. “Dolphin Tale 2” is more or less the same. It is harmless and will probably eat up marine animal lovers and families looking for something educational and/or inspirational. But for a guy like me in his twenties, it’s just overbearing. Without critiquing the subject matter, my problem with the movie is that it’s too long for its own good. The first forty-five minutes are spent with Winter until the focus is suddenly shifted on Hazel and her healing a sea turtle. Once the turtle is back in the ocean, it’s like the movie realized that there’s a finless dolphin here and goes back to that. The focus is all over the place and much of the swimming shots of the animals go on for so long, you’d think that Sea World directed this thing. I’ll give this three prosthetic fins out of five. “Dolphin Tale 2” is only for the audience of this first movie. I doubt that Game of Throne fans or Marvel Superhero geeks are gonna get anything out of this, but it’s harmless enough that I still say it is a passable option for families searching for something more wholesome. If you’re that kind of person, then take this dive with the dolphins.

‘West Side’ Story comes to Temecula

Tickets are now on sale for the Temecula Valley Players adaptation of the Broadway musical “West Side Story” at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. Courtesy photo

Temecula Valley Players will present an adaptation of the Broadway musical “West Side Story” at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. “West Side Story” is the awardwinning adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet.” The feuding families become two warring New York City gangs- the Jets led by Riff (Brenan Winspear) and the Sharks, led by Bernardo (Randall Matsumoto). Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist with any form of understanding. When Riff’s best friend (and former Jet) Tony (Tyler Giles) and Bernardo’s younger sister Maria (Tanya Rodriquez Mehl) meet at a dance, no one can do anything to stop their love. Maria and Tony begin meeting in secret, planning to run away. Then the Sharks and Jets plan a rumble under the highway – whoever wins gains control of the streets. The award-winning team of

Director/Choreographer Allison Whitman, who has been directing over 30 years and Emmy award winning Musical Director, David Reuther have brought this show to life on stage to be remembered for years to come. Performances run through September 28 and will be held Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater located on 42051 Main Street in Temecula. Take advantage of $10 Thursdays for seniors, students, teachers and military (with proper ID) or $15 Fridays, any age, any seat in the parterre.

Menifee Soap Box Derby creates family fun, memories Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News The third annual Soap Box Derby in Menifee has grown into a family favorite event there. The race allows the opportunity for parents and adults to work with their kids on a project creating life long memories and learning lessons. Getting out from behind computer screens and video games, the children who participated in Menifee’s Soap Box Derby built something tangible with their hands in the form of a racer that sped down the hill on Menifee Road. Popular web-based games featuring imaginary building projects don’t have the capability to teach children to learn how to work with real tools, but building a soap box derby racer does. “I was working a rec center a couple of years ago here in Menifee and found out several kids didn’t know anything about tools or handyman type of things,” said Race Director Joe Schnake, a recreational supervisor with ValleyWide Recreation. “I started this to get families together to build things to learn how to use tools for the future just good family fun in the city of Menifee.” The race took place on Saturday,

Sept. 6 on Menifee Road between Holland and Craig Avenue. The length of the course was a quartermile long on the steeply graded road. Soapboxes do not have motors – only brakes – so a steep grade is needed for racing. Racers can reach high speeds so all participants wore helmets and protective gear in the event of a 40 mph crash. The event was co-sponsored by the city of Menifee and ValleyWide Recreation & Park District. Valley-Wide also held six building classes during the summer for all participants. The soap boxes ranged in quality and sophistication. Some cars looked like the Little Rascals on wheels while others were streamlined with aerodynamic designs. The event also has different age divisions to make racing fun and fair for everyone involved. Twently four entrants passed inspection and were allowed to race. “We don’t follow the All-American Soap Box Derby rules,” said Schnake. “I take the motto from Disney; let them to use their imagination.”

A soap box derby racer waits to be called for the start of his race.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

“Let me help you buy my house” Paul Bandong Staff Writer It is becoming a buyer’s market, the rate of home sales has slowed dramatically, inventory is climbing, prices have leveled off (dropping in some areas), and mortgage rates are still low. Sellers are looking for creative incentives to move their homes in a crowded market. Sellers paying closing costs and sellerassisted below-market rate financing are fast-becoming attractive strategies. Sellers paying closing costs This option makes it easier for buyers upfront. On an FHA loan, sellers can pay up to six percent of the total loan amount. On a VA loan, they can pay up to four percent. With conventional loans, the limits are staggered. If a buyer has five percent down, the seller can pay up to three percent of the loan amount in closing costs. At 20 percent down, the limit is six percent. The investor limit is two percent. “This is an extremely popular option right now,” said Myrna Crowther, Loan Production Manager at PrimeLending in Temecula. “I’m seeing a lot of contracts with this written in, but many agents are not aware of the limits, potentially leaving a lot of money on the table.”

Seller buy-down This option makes it easier for buyers each month for the life of the loan. Sellers can lower buyers’ long-term mortgage costs by paying money upfront to the buyers’ lender to reduce the interest rate. The lower interest rate results in lower monthly mortgage payments for the length of the loan. This is sometimes referred to as a buy-down, a common practice before the last real estate bubble burst in 2009. The seller buy-down or reduction in interest rate might cost the sellers two or three points. A point is basically one percent of the mortgage amount. This might result in a reduction in the buyers’ note rate of one-half of a percentage point. In a recent example provided by Crowther, with a purchase price of $250,000 and 20 percent down payment, the mortgage amount would be $200,000. Today’s (9/15/2014) 30-year fixed rate is 4.625. A two-point buydown would cost the seller $4,000, but would reduce the buyer’s monthly payment from $1,028 to $969.30, resulting in a savings to the buyer of $21,222 over the life of the loan. Signs and descriptions may include the wording “seller-assisted below-market rate financing” to attract buyers. Both options make a seller’s house more attractive to buyers as a financial proposition, especially in today’s slowing market.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Mediterranean plants that thrive in California gardens

Linda McDonald-Cash Home and Garden Columnist Hello fellow gardeners! Although I didn’t have enough space last week to go into plants from New Zealand, due to the fact that I prefer not to go into tropical plants too much, I will just name one favorite of mine and that would be New Zealand Flax, or Phormium tenax. These gorgeous plants with sword like leaves come in many sizes and colors. They prefer part shade inland and full sun on coast. So that’s my recommendation for New Zealand plants and be sure to check varieties when buying for ultimate size for your garden. Maori Sunset is a gorgeous one to try if you can find it. I wanted to focus on Mediterranean plants this week as many of

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Ready for the appraiser’s appraisal? What’s the formula? Most appraisals take the comparable sales price approach to determine your home’s value. In essence what they are doing is looking at all of the unique nuances of your home and comparing it to similar homes in your neighborhood that have sold in the last six months. They want to find comparable homes to yours – if yours is a 1,200 square foot single story home, they won’t be looking at the 2,300 square foot two story home or the condo down the road. Once the appraiser has similar homes that have recently sold, the appraiser will start to make adjustments based on the features and characteristics of other homes. For example if you have a pool and a model match across the street does not, then there will be an adjustment for the pool. On the other hand if your home has a den instead of the fourth bedroom that your neighbors model match has then you will lose some value. There are many adjustments that must be made and a comprehensive

John Occhi & Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Selling your home is an experience like no other. First you get the home ready for sale then you hire your real estate agent. Go through the process of pricing your home right for the current market, marketing the property, negotiating an offer then you are set to close escrow. The only obstacle in the way is the appraisal. Ready? Even though you and your buyer have agreed upon a price, if the buyer has a loan they’re depending on to close escrow you can believe that the lender will have an independent third party provide an objective opinion as to the value of the home. The professional appraiser acts independently to provide their opinion on the value of your home based on the condition of your property and how it compares to similar properties in the neighborhood. A seller’s fear The fear every seller has, is of course, that the home will appraise lower than expected, and not knowing how the appraiser determines the value of their home. The professional appraiser will be looking at many elements to determine the value of the property. To offer their opinion they must understand many nuances about the construction and how it has been maintained. Exterior is significant The term “bricks and sticks” is often used by those in the real estate industry to describe a traditionally built home opposed to a manufactured home. The bricks and sticks are what makes the three most important elements of any home – the foundation, the walls and the roof. Collectively they create the functionality and reality of a dwelling. The appraiser will be paying serious attention to each of these components. The trained eye of the appraisal will be looking for any sort of defect and damage to each element. Bear in mind that the entire purpose of the appraiser visiting your home is to report back to the lender so that the lender does not make a loan on a property that is not worth the value of the loan. For this reason, they will be looking at each of the exterior components closely because any of them, if they were to fail, could easily make a home uninhabitable and therefore lose any value they may have had. Size really does matter The appraiser is concerned with both the size of your home as well as the size of the actual land it sits on. They will count your rooms and take the general floor plan into consideration. In today’s market, buyers typically are more interested in open floor plans and the more bedrooms and baths, the better. Bedrooms should be large with spacious closets and easy access to a private or semi-private bath for maximum value. Buyers are also interested in larger lot sizes, generally speaking. The larger the lot the more private a home will feel. A larger lot also allows for more outdoor activities as well as the potential for further expansion of the living space. The livable square footage is generally described as space that has heating and air conditioning provided. Garages are not considered to be a part of the livable square footage, and typically patio enclosures are not either. The total square footage of your home will have a significant impact on the formula the appraiser will use to determine your home’s value. Interior condition The interior of the home is just as important as the exterior. Do all of the windows and doors operate smoothly? Are your counter tops and floors level? What condition are your plumbing and electrical systems in? Much of what an appraisal is looking at is not only are the appropriate fixtures in place and in good working order, but at the quality of the product itself. He or she will be looking at your light fixtures, the style of outlet covers in place, just all of the little nuances that make each home unique are scrutinized and evaluated. Home improvements Many homes have been im-

make your home special and they too will be considered in the appraisal process. In addition, there are the special upgrades that are always taken into consideration. Does the home have a swimming pool? Is it in good condition? An outdoor kitchen is another popular upgrade that will add value. While newer homes today all are built with energy efficiency in mind, if it’s an older home have the windows been replaced with new energy efficient windows? Does the garage have cabinets for storage or a workplace? Perhaps the garage has been finished and is insulated inside. Even elements we might consider to be a basic feature of the home like a fireplace, central air conditioning, a security system or even a garbage disposal are all evaluated and taken into consideration.

proved upon since they were originally built. Some have added additional living space while others have remodeled kitchens and baths. The appraiser will be looking for these improvements and will be looking at the quality of the construction and materials used. Many times they will want to know about the permits that were pulled. Both buyers and lenders love it when a kitchen has recently been remodeled because they feel it will extend its life. New appliances contribute to the lasting value of a property. Home improvements will undoubtedly be a contributing factor to your home’s overall value as the appraiser determines the value of your home. Upgrades and extras There are many little things that

Real Estate / Home & Garden MEDITERRANEAN from page B-1 the plants that do very well here in California gardens. While many people actually think they are natives, they are in reality, from the Mediterranean areas including the countries of Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, down to North Africa, Morocco and Turkey. These areas typically do not have much frost. As I said, most of the plants you will see in a typical garden, if not actually native to California, come from these areas. The plants from this area survive typically on rain through the winter months and less in the summer, which is what we have here in Southern California. A Mediterranean climate is made up of a long, hot summer with little rainfall and a mild, rainy winter. However, the amount of rainfall in a particular region may vary considerably and some countries may experience colder and wetter winters than others, although both regions may be described as having a Mediterranean climate. The reason these plants are so important to us is that they extend greatly our plant palette here in California beyond our own native species. There are actually over 22,000 plants that are endemic to this region, so I’m just going to cover a few here that are popular, easily available, drought tolerant, and in my opinion, beautiful. Overall, they add wonderful variety and endless beauty to our landscapes here in Southern California. Lavenders – lavandula species and hybrids. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of varieties so I won’t go into all of them. I did an entire article one week on them, though. These are beautiful, have a lovely scent, add a desireable color and shape to the garden and are drought tolerant to boot. You’ve got to have a couple in the landscape! Try L. angustifolia, L. dentate var.

Nerium Oleander Petite Pink.

New Zealand Flax.

The striking flowers of the Pomegranate. Punica granatum or Pomegranate var. ‘Nana.’

candicans, and L. Grosso. Rosemary or Rosmarinus officinalis – another must have from the Mediterranean area. These are fragrant, evergreen, drought tolerant and great for using in cooking! Cistus or rockrose is a very useful plant in our area. It’s attractive and evergreen yearround and has beautiful flowers in many colors. Cistus x pupureus is a dark pink with darker blotches on the petals

and has a long flowering season. Nerium oleander – Yes, it’s poisonous, but as long as you don’t eat it, they’re beautiful, drought tolerant, evergreen, almost always blooming, and my favorite, Mrs. Roeding is a gorgeous variety with peachy pink flowers that almost look like small camellias. It comes in many sizes from two feet all the way up to 15 feet tall with red, white, pink, peach, and even yellow flowers. Several varieties of Acanthus do well in partial shade even. Acanthus dioscoridis is pink flowering, Acanthus mollis, also known as bears breeches, usually lighter pink to white is very striking in the landscape. These are from Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Southwestern Europe. Artemesia has many varieties to choose from. Powis Castle is an outstanding hybrid, these are gray fine leaved plants, preferring well draining soil. Arbutus are large shrubs/small trees up to good sized large trees. Arbutus unedo, called the strawberry tree is one I grow. It’s on the smaller size, evergreen and easy to care for. Arbutus marina is a larger variety, nice tree for the front yard. Both varieties produce fruit that are clumps of attractive red balls, but not for eating, not tasty! Arbutus menziesii aka madrone is another arbutus variety but it’s actually native to North America, great evergreen tree though! Cedrus or Cedar – this is a large group actually part of the “Pinacea” or Pine family. They are large, striking and commanding evergreen trees. Cedar of Lebanon trees can live to be over 1,000 years old! You need a large property for these. Olea europaea or olive trees are evergreen although leaves lean toward the grayish side. Both have fruiting and fruitless varieties and low water requirements. As with all trees, especially planted in a front yard garden, make sure they get occasional deep watering. 20 to 30 feet tall and wide for the standard variety, although little Ollie is a dwarf non-fruiting variety that gets only six to eight feet tall – more of a shrub really! Wilsonii is a good non-fruiting ful-size variety to look for.

Cistus Pupurea aka ‘Rockrose’.

Pines – Pinus halepensis or the aleppo pine is originally from the Mediterranean region and can withstand summer drought is tolerant of many soils and grows 40 to 60 feet tall. Pinus brutia aka the eldarica or “Afghan” pine is another pine that grows well in our area. Pinus pinea, the Italian stone pine also does very well here. Again, it will eventually reach 50 feet tall and is nearly as wide at the top, so choose your spot carefully for planting! Laurus nobilis aka sweet bay or Grecian laurel is a lovely low maintenance evergreen large shrub or small tree from Greece and the leaves are used in cooking some Italian dishes. The last one I can squeeze in here would be the Pomegranate aka punica granatum is a beautiful

small tree or large shrub with lovely flowers and tasty fruit that is also drought tolerant. I’m afraid I’m out of room for this week already. Next week I’ll be discussing plants from Japan and China and you’ll be amazed at how many we get from there! As always I am available for consultations and design work, and remember we are in a drought and that water district is paying $2 per square foot for turf removal and replacement with drought tolerant plants. Until next time – happy gardening! Linda McDonald Cash is a landscape designer with Unique Landscapes. For more information call (951) 764-4762 or visit www. uniquelandscapes.net.

Strategies for proper pruning As the leaves fall off the trees and greenery thins out for the season, exposing branches and undergrowth along the way, homeowners may be tempted to prune their trees and shrubs. But while autumn pruning may seem like a good idea, many gardening experts say it is often best for homeowners to wait until winter or early spring before pruning. Although pruning does thin out branches and tame spent blooms, which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth. Pruning in the autumn, when plants are naturally preparing to go dormant, can weaken the plants considerably. This can compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season. Fall temperatures also can be deceiving. While it may be warm during the day when the sun is shining, temperatures can quickly drop overnight. Pruning during the warmth of day, when the sap has risen in the plants, may deplete energy from the plant. When the mercury drops at night, the plant can suffer. If you must spend time in the yard in the fall, tend to the leaves and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If you have been diligent during the spring and summer, your shrubs and other plants likely won’t need pruning at this time of year. Wait until winter before taking out the shears. At this point, the

woody parts of many plants are dormant and will not be harmed or primed to grow by the pruning. Chances are you won’t prune too much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors. When it’s time to prune, consider these other pointers. Keep tools clean and in good working order. You risk injury if your tools are dull and in poor shape overall. Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more difficult to open and shut them. Wash and dry tools after use, especially when dealing with diseased plants. Otherwise you risk spreading disease to healthy plants. Cut back stems completely. It’s usually a good idea to prune branches back to the main stem. Leaving a portion sticking out can catch on people or animals and produce a gathering spot for bacteria and insects. Take out thinner, smaller shoots first before moving on to any dead or dying branches. Prune dry branches. Do not prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed. Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune particular plants, consult with an expert at a nursery or wherever you buy your plants.

High school football full of surprises on week two Week 2 for High School Football in our area has seen some top-tier teams fall in the preseason rankings and some of the lower-ranked teams move up due to some unforeseen wins and losses this past weekend. In the Southwestern League the Temecula Valley Golden Bears pulled out a heroic last second touchdown to give new Head Coach Rick Mey his second win of the season, keeping TVHS undefeated going into week 3. Murrieta Mesa also had a crushing victory and Chaparral, Murrieta Valley and the 2013 League Champion Broncos all recorded losses moving them down the ranking ladder. Vista Murrieta and Murrieta Mesa will be the only Southwestern League teams to play at home this week In the Sunbelt League this last week it was almost an exact mirror of what happened two weeks ago as the Heritage Patriots and Perris Panthers would be the only teams in their division to put up wins. Both teams remain undefeated. This week Lakeside, Elsinore and Heritage all play at home. Linfield fell behind in Ambassador League losing a close game to Pasadena Polytechnic, while Rancho Christian picked up their third win of the season, staying undefeated in the South Valley League. The Rough Riders from the California Military Institute lost a close one and are still searching for that first win in the SVL, while Hamilton was able to pick up their second win over newcomer to the area, Santa Rosa Academy. Calvary Murrieta who had a bye last week will be looking to best their 1-1 record on the road this week.

Erik Thompson Special to the Valley News Murrieta Mesa’s defense, the same one that struggled last week against an explosive Rancho Verde High School, came up big at crucial times and forced three turnovers that helped the Rams run their preseason record to 2-1 with a 31-6 victory at Tahquitz High School in Hemet. It would be two back-to-back fumbles late in the second quarter that defined the game. Tahquitz senior John Reyes pounced on a fumble deep in Ram’s territory giving the Titans the ball at the Ram’s 1-yard line with less than one minute left in the second quarter. Tahquitz, who was shut out in their only other game two weeks ago against Palm Springs High School, was unable to get any points when they fumbled the ensuing snap and Mesa’s junior linebacker Kyle Ward streaked in to cradle the loose ball on the turf as the Rams escaped with a 10-0 lead at halftime. Coming into the second half the Ram’s offense used a balanced attack with 40 rushes for 220 yards

and 30 pass attempts for more than 150 yards. They were led by senior running back Irvin Alfaro’s two rushing touchdowns, picking up 70 yards on only 11 runs. Junior quarterback Peyton Uhl directed the team to four scores and 219 total yards in a little more than three quarters. Mesa’s McKinley Ross scampered in from eight yards for his fifth TD of the year in the second quarter, and sophomore receiver Colin Ray hauled in his first touchdown of his varsity career with an 8 yard reception in the third quarter. Junior defensive backs Robert Fitzgerald and McKinley Ross each had an interception for Murrieta Mesa. The Titans broke through with their first touchdown of the year when senior receiver Ti’alik Davis hauled in a 31-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback William Keegan about midway through in the fourth quarter. Murrieta Mesa will host an undefeated Palm Springs team this week who won 42-14 in last week’s non-league outing against Temescal Canyon. Game time is 7 p.m.

Chaparral fails to keep Pirates at bay, lose 24-0 to Oceanside

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor TEMECULA - The match up looked great on paper. The Chaparral Pumas, who are still heavy favorites in the Southwestern League, hosted Oceanside in front of another packed crowd last Friday night and though they dropped their second game in as many weeks, they also showed some grit defensively against the Pirates who are ranked #13 in the state. Prior to the game the NJROTC program, school band, and dance team from Chaparral presented a “Salute to Heroes” parade, which included a fly over from two Beechcraft T-34 aircraft courtesy of the March Air Force Base Heritage Foundation, which pumped up the crowd and helped prepare them for what would be an intense meeting of the two powerhouses. Both teams came out of the gate strong, defensively. Neither offense managed to put much together until late in the first quarter when the Pumas did look to capitalize on a long scoring drive. A

fake field goal undertaking would come up short though as a pass attempt to tight-end Alex Argent could not be hauled in. The Pirates took over and senior quarterback Matthew Romero controlled the ball leading his Pirates team all the way to the 3-yard line with some help from running back Josh Bernard. Oceanside then came out and tried some trickery of their own when senior wide out Johnny Arzola entered as QB taking the shotgun hike at the 3-yard line, charging his way up and over both offensive and defensive lines. Arzola lost the ball into the hands of Chaparral’s corner back Malachi Puckett as he tried to reach over into the end zone. Puckett dropped down, ensuring a touch back on the turnover. The celebration would be short lived though as Puma quarterback Austin Reza dropped back to throw, but had the ball deflected just before releasing an outside pass to running back William Riley. The deflection caused a fumble around the Pirates 41-yard line and

Oceanside recovered the ball and would capitalize on the blunder. A quick charge down the field led to running back Joshua Bernard scoring on an outside run just before the end of the 1st quarter. The second quarter brought the crowds in both stands to their feet as tempers flared on the field due to the frustration setting in on the offense of both teams as the defensive battle gained in intensity. With just under 8 minutes left in the first half the Pumas had another opportunity to put some points on the board, but a penalty and a tackle in the back field took them from just within 5-yards of the end-zone to just outside of field goal range. Chaparral would proceed to give the ball up on a punt. A block from behind by the Pumas on the punt return would seal their first half fate as the Pirates not only scored again on a drive where Joshua Bernard earned his second of three touchdowns on the night, but a field goal from Caleb Ramirez with just seconds left in the half gave the Pirates the edge they needed with a 17-0 lead going in

to halftime. The Pumas tried to bounce back in the 3rd quarter, not letting the Pirates gain any ground on their run and air attacks, but penalties, a missed field goal attempt and interception from Oceanside’s Anthony Martinez did not help the struggling Chaparral offense. “Chaparral never gave up. Their defense just kept coming at us and even though the score may look a little lopsided, we knew this game was going to be a test and it was really just a few plays away from being in Chaparral’s favor,” said Oceanside Head Coach John Carroll. Oceanside would score one more time before the end of the game, while it was the Tommy Woo show on defense for the Pirates. Woo is currently one the most sought after pass rushers in the nation. His crowd taunting antics and constant verbal assault of the opposing players on the field were tough to miss especially late in the game as the Pirates went on to beat the Pumas 24-0. Isaiah Hall and Dominique

Houston, both outside linebackers for the Pumas, carried the Chaparral defense providing a number of tackles and quarterback sacks. William Riley, Darrien Molton and Austin Reza tried their best to keep the Pumas in the fight on offense all night. “Playing a team like Oceanside helps us find our holes and though we need to figure out a way to get our entire offense unit on the same page, I know we will be ready for league when the time comes. We are going to continue to play some tough opponents in the preseason with Carter and Mission Viejo still to come and once we fine tune some areas, we know good things will come for this squad,” Head Coach Ryan Tukua said. With the loss, Chaparral drops to 1-2 on the season and will travel to Carter High School in Rialto to take on the Lions in a non-league bout on Friday, Sept. 19. The Lions come into the game against the Pumas with a record of 1-1 after losing 46-27 last week to Ontario’s Colony High School. Game time is 7 p.m.

Mustangs run away from Wolfpack in 69-21 rout

Paul Bandong Staff Writer It was Homecoming night for the Wolfpack and everything went well except for the football game. The Rancho Verde Mustangs were unstoppable as they gained over 700 yards and handed Great Oak their worst loss in history, 69-21. Great Oak’s first score came on a three-yard pass to Brandon Presley in the second quarter. The eight-play drive featured a 51-yard catch by Demetric Felton. Great Oak scored once more in the second quarter, helped by a pass interference call, two completions to Presley, and capped off by a 15-yd counter by Nick Fisher. On the second play of the second half, Presley provided the home crowd with a highlight and a shortlived hope as he caught a pass in the flat and ran 64 yards for his second TD of the game. Presley ended the night with 10 catches for 175 yards. QB Laquan Williams was 20-of-36 for 265 yards and two touchdowns in his first start this year. “That was a very, very good team,” said Wolfpack Head Coach Robbie Robinson, ”We will learn from this game and it will benefit us three, four weeks down the way.” Great Oak’s usual over-the-top halftime festivities included an ROTC “Salute to the Troops” commemorative lap, the parade of Homecoming princesses in convertibles, the shopping cart parade of clubs, two Temecula police cars, Justice League superheroes, and a helicopter drop. Senior Allie Portis was named Homecoming Queen. The Wolfpack have a bye this next week, but will travel to face the Co-

rona Panthers on September 26 who lost to Elsinore 40-30 in their opener, and to Servite 45-17 last week.

Golden Bears fight back to snatch victory from visiting Eagles, 22-20

Golden Bears’ running back Josh Cortez breaks through to the outside against La Sierra last week in their come-frombehind 22-20 victory over the Eagles.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Temecula Valley Golden Bears snatched a victory from the claws of the visiting La Sierra Eagles with a last second 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Austin Fisher to Griffin Doran. “I felt the pressure and I scrambled out of there,” said Fisher, “I saw my man Griffin in the end zone – and I knew he catches everything – so I threw it to him.”

The game was a defensive battle the first half, 0-0. In the third quarter, the Golden Bears scored on a five yard QB keeper by Austin Fisher, set up by a 25-yard pass to Zach Simon. Temecula Valley’s second score came on a fumble picked up by defensive lineman Edward Young who ran it in ten yards to put TVHS up 13-7. Fisher threw a “pick six” that put La Sierra up 14-13. The teams exchanged fumbles on consecutive plays and kicker Spencer Stone

capped off a 12-play, 85–yard drive with a 22-yard field goal to put TVHS up 16-14. La Sierra was ahead 20-16 with 2:34 left in the game. Fisher orchestrated another 12-play drive to win the game. “What a great win! “ exclaimed Head Coach Rick Mey, “They weren’t playing well, but our kids really stepped up at the end. We talk about that warrior mentality and never give up – fighting and fighting and fighting – and man did

we do that tonight against a really good La Sierra team!” Fisher threw for 166 yards, 1 TD and two interceptions. Josh Cortez led TV rushers with 85 yards on 14 carries. Fisher gained 49 yards and one TD on nine carries and Simon carried five times for 39 yards. Defensively, Manny Burgess followed last week’s 18-tackle game with nine tackles and seven assists. Linebacker Jarrod Iwasaki added 10 tackles and a caused fumble. The game, played on the 13th an-

niversary of the 9/11 tragedy, was designated a “Salute to Heroes” game. Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Doug Fraser carried the American flag, leading the team into the Great Oak stadium and through the break-away. Fraser’s son, Ian is a junior and an offensive lineman on the team. Fraser had just returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Next week, Temecula Valley travels to Hemet to take on the hardrunning Jeff Martin and the Hemet Bulldogs.

Linfield tries to stay hot in the heat, drops second game of the season to Pasadena JP Saar Special to the Valley News TEMECULA - The Linfield Lions looked to build on their week 1 win against Adelanto with another win last week against the Pasadena Polytechnic Panthers. The Panthers came into the early afternoon game following two huge wins by a combined margin of 101 points but Linfield looked to knock them off in spite of scorching temperatures and not having a home field advantage. The game started off with the Panthers receiving the ball and they came out solid early by creating a big drive picking up first down after first down with big runs. Pasadena would finish their first drive with a 24 yard touchdown run by running back Griffin Carter who emerged from the line and busted into the end zone. The Lions next drive was a three and out and were immediately forced to punt back to the Panthers who picked up where they left off with big runs until their plans were immediately interrupted when Lion’s safety Michael Brown intercepted a pass and took it inside the thirty. Running back Greg Holt ran the ball inside the five and it would be RyeZeir Wilkins who would follow with a run of his own who punched it in for the Linfield touchdown. The very next drive, Pasadena quarterback Parker Mathews threw another interception to Brown who almost scored on the return. Wilkins capitalized again on the turnover by taking the handoff to the right side then cut back towards

the middle of the field and galloped through the defense all the way to the end zone. The Lions kept the momentum going and forced a quick punt which resulted in another touchdown. On the ensuing play, Lions quarterback Lorenzo Burns ran towards the sideline and shifted it into another gear bursting away with the ball until he was pushed out at the one yard line. Holt was handed the ball again and smashed through the line for the score giving the Lions a 20 – 7 lead. Pasadena Poly managed to find their groove again when they recreated their first drive by faking handoffs and calling misdirection runs keeping the Lions defense on their heels finishing their drive with a touchdown decreasing the lead. Linfield built on this by taking the ball down to the Panthers’ 30-yard line and were faced with a fourth down. They lined up for a field goal until Coach Burns called a timeout to reconsider, opting to instead go for the TD as Burns connected with wide open tight end Taylor Lau for a 30-yard touchdown pass. Linfield looked like they were going into the half with a 13 point lead, but Pasadena’s Carter had other ideas taking a handoff 62 yards setting up for a magnificent touchdown pass from Mathews who threw up a jump ball to wide receiver Porter Vince who came down with it. The Panthers grabbed all the momentum right before the half and would continue this streak in the second half. This momentum was in the Panthers favor early in the second half when they sacked Burns and

stripped the ball to give them great field goal position. A few possessions were traded back and forth and Pasadena finally decided to take a stride when they took advantage of a poor punt letting Carter capitalize for Pasadena on his second touchdown run of the day. On the following kickoff, the

Panthers’ kicker sent a line drive into the shins of a Lion player and it bounced back directly in the arms of Pasadena. The Panthers hammered away at the Lion defense again by running the ball down the field, failing to score a touchdown, opting for a field goal instead to take the lead 30 to 27.

The Lions had one last chance but ran out of downs when the Lions’ receivers failed to catch passes when they needed to. The Lions dropped their second game of the season and are looking to get back on track when they play Capistrano Valley on September 19. Game time is at 7 p.m.

Lady Pumas go the distance against Rancho, fall to King JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor The Chaparral Pumas Girls Volleyball team has looked strong against visiting opposition over the past two weeks defeating the Riverside Poly Bears and the Rancho Cucamonga Cougars, but on the road the Lady Pumas have hit a bit of a rough spell. In their season opener against Poly, the Bears struggled in the first match, losing 25-10, but came back to give Chaparral a bit of a fight despite dropping the next two matches, 25-17 and 25-14. Becca Branch led the Pumas on that day with 14 kills, while Julia Cubbedge had 10 of her own with 23 assists. Chaparral then welcomed Rancho Cucamonga into their house last week and went the distance with a Cougar team that never gave up. The Pumas won on the day taking 3 games to 2 and would then hit the road late in the week dropping 3 straight matches to Riverside’s King High School. Over this past weekend Chaparral hit the road again to compete in the Dave Moh Orange County Memorial tournament and suffered losses to Lakewood, San Juan Hills and Edison in pool play and moved on to play Orange Lutheran in the quarterfinals where they took the first set 25-22, then lost 25-23 and 15-6. The Pumas are on the road through next week as they get set to take on Upland in their next matchup on September 23. Game time is set for 6pm.

As the quickly emerging sport of FootGolf continues to grow in popularity throughout the United States, the sport’s governing body, the American FootGolf League, has been busy making sure FootGolfers have plenty of opportunities to play. Recognized by the Federation for International FootGolf as the exclusive governing body in the United States, the AFGL has certified more than 100 courses to date in 2014, bringing the total to more than 200 in almost 40 states. A combination of golf and soccer played with a regulation soccer ball on a shortened golf course, FootGolf is played much like golf. The goal is to get the soccer ball into the 21-inch hole with as few kicks as possible. “FootGolf is the sport of the

future,” said Roberto Balestrini, who, along with his wife Laura, introduced FootGolf in the U.S. in 2011. “As we saw with the World Cup, the popularity of soccer is incredible in the United States and it will only grow. FootGolf provides a new fun – and competitive – outlet for the more than 24 million soccer players here.” The sport has grown so much in popularity since its introduction in the United States in 2011 that the AFGL will stage its inaugural U.S. Pro-Am Tour later this fall with a national championship to follow in 2015. The Pro-Am Tour features an East Coast event at Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, NJ, from Sept. 14-16 with a West Coast event being held at River Ridge Golf Club in Oxnard, California, Sept. 19-21. This tour will offer a total cash purse of $25,000. The tournaments will be multi-day events to attract players at all level and categories with the intention of creating more awareness about FootGolf nation-

The AFGL has recently introduced a handicap system similar to golf in order to provide a foundation for competitive events. “Our vision is that FootGolf will evolve into a competitive national sport,” Balestrini added. “We are hosting the first pro-am events in the history of our sport this fall and are already working on national and international events for 2015.

Forum for TVUSD School Board candidates announced With three seats up for grabs on the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) Governing Board, seven local residents have declared their candidacy and will be on the November 4 ballot. To help voters make informed decisions, as well as provide voter registration materials, the Temecula Valley Council of PTAs (TVC PTA) will sponsor Meet the Candidates Forum, a nonpartisan, public event, on Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m., at the TVUSD Conference Center, 31350 Rancho Vista Road in Temecula. Each candidate will present an opening statement and will field questions from the audience that will be presented by the moderator. Each member of

the panel also will respond to questions submitted in advance by PTA. Dr. Philip Pendley, retired superintendent, Hemet Unified School District, will serve as moderator. Once the forum ends, informal discussion will follow until 8 p.m. The public is encouraged to come learn more about the candidates. Scheduled to appear are Cheryl Eckard, office manager; Julie Farnbach, parent/educator; Kevin Hill, teacher; Sandy Hinkson, retired teacher; Mark Katan, retail store manager; and incumbents Bob Brown and Rick Shafer. Hill and Katan previously ran in 2008. “We’ve traditionally sponsored a school board candidates’ forum. With a field of seven contenders and only

three seats, this is an ideal time to blend education and advocacy with empowering voters,” said TVC PTA President Rebecca Weersing. “We’re proud of our schools, and we want parents to understand how they can become advocates – how they can have a say in the work that the governing board does. It’s important for voters to hear from all candidates and to be informed. We urge citizens of all ages to come out and hear what the candidates have to say and, most importantly, to exercise their civic responsibility and vote on November 4,” she added. Voter registration materials will be available at the event. October 20 is the last day to register to vote in the November 4 election.

a later date to be determined as it grows in its focused effort to provide more online education opportunities and education support services to students across the state of California,” the OEI said in a press release. Mt. San Jacinto College was named one of the “Full Launch Colleges” along with Butte College, Coastline Community College, Foot-

hill College, Shasta College, Fresno City College, Lake Tahoe Community College, and Ventura College. The remainder of the colleges chosen will participate in the “Student Readiness Staging Group” and “Tutoring Staging Group.” For the full OEI press release, updates and more information about OEI, visit www.ccconlineed.org.

Gosch Auto Group celebrates 50th anniversary Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Gosch Auto Group celebrated its 50th anniversary on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014 with a party on the Gosch Ford property. Hundreds of citizens, city officials and numerous dignitaries were on hand. Supervisor Jeff Stone and Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez presented Eric and Marc Gosch with official proclamation certificates to commemorate the event. A number of restored vintage cars were also prominently featured around the property, including two 1930s Ford Model A trucks which founder Jack Gosch drove in road rallies, one cross-country from San Francisco to Washington, DC and another from Ottawa, Canada to Mexico City. Also displayed were the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 that was the family car and a 1965 Mustang. Jack Gosch – Eric and Marc’s father – was working for Ford Motor Company in Los Angeles (Pico Rivera) in the 1950s and 1960s and had worked his way up from a data clerk to general field manager. His only option for further advancement was to move to headquarters in Detroit, but Jack didn’t want to leave California and his wife, Gwenyth, didn’t like the snow. The Ford dealership in Hemet – founded by the Pierce family in the 1930s – was available for sale. At the time, Hemet was the hub of Southwest Riverside County, boasting the only stoplight in the region (Florida and State Streets). Jack mortgaged all the family’s homes – his, his mother-in-law’s and his parents’ duplex – to purchase the Hemet dealership and founded Jack Gosch Ford in 1964, just three months after the Mustang was introduced. The Mustang was introduced April 17, 1964, coincidentally on Marc’s birthday. “The dealership had 12 employees and was housed in the smaller part of what was then the Loomis Turkey Hatchery,” said Eric Gosch. Gosch Ford was successful from the start; Jack built a second dealership in the east part of the valley

Four members of the Gosch family – co-CEO’s Eric and Marc and their sons, Patrick and Matthew – proudly received a 50th anniversary plaque from Ford Motor Company in front of hundreds of local citizens, business and civic leaders.

in 1970. Over three decades, Jack started dealerships in Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Banning, Perris and Temecula. Jack was also involved in starting up the Bank of Hemet, the Valley-Wide Parks & Recreation Department (now a network of 75 parks), Barnaby’s Restaurant, the Valley Chronicle, Hemet Valley RV, Hemet Cycle Center, Hemet Insurance and La Casa Mobile Homes, as well as several retail shopping centers. He and Gwen were avid supporters of many local community organizations. In the mid-80s, Jack convinced the six dealers to join together (without an outside developer) to develop the Hemet Auto Mall on the west end of town. He also convinced the city to finance the streets and utilities through bonds that would be repaid out of new sales tax revenue. Since its inception, the auto mall has generated over $25 million in tax revenue for the city of Hemet. There have been numerous amusing stories over the years said Eric who recounted a few. “About thirty years ago, we gave the wrong car to a customer. There were two cars -- same year, model, and color – and surprisingly, the same key opened both! “About 25 years ago, at Rancho Ford, a customer had purchased a

new Mustang and ordered a custom bra for it. He subsequently committed a crime and was arrested in Elsinore. He broke out of jail. Later, he came into our parts department for the bra. We recognized him from a picture in the local paper and kept him talking until the police arrived. “Five years ago, we had a guy steal the same truck two days in a row. That was one of our best customers,” joked Eric. Jack’s sons, who had grown up sweeping floors and washing cars at the dealership, joined the business in the 1980s. Eric had gone to the University of Redlands, earned his MBA from UCLA and was working for Ford in Los Angeles. Marc had also graduated from Redlands and was working for Toyota Motor Company in Torrance. “Dad never pushed us to get into the auto business,” said Eric, “We both chose that path on our own.” Eric and Marc are co-CEOs of the well-known business. “There are always challenges and blessings working with family,” said Eric. “Fortunately, we have a common vision and outlook and we agree on 98 percent of our decisions. We try and keep business and personal issues apart.” Their vision is to evolve with the changing mobility business – elec-

tric, hybrid, driverless. “What doesn’t change,” said Eric, “is that people will still need to get around and this is still a people business. Customers have needs; our job is to provide solutions for those needs.” Today, Gosch Auto Group has four dealerships in the Auto Mall and employs 430 team members and have sold over 300,000 vehicles to local customers. “Our success is because our staff knows that our customers are really the ones who pay our paychecks. They can choose to go anywhere; we have to treat them right to have them buy here. An automobile purchase is often the second biggest purchase for our customers; price and emotion are important factors,” said Eric. “We are blessed to serve the community and grateful for their loyalty and support.”

Marc and Eric both have sons, Matthew and Patrick, who work in the company. Patrick, 29, graduated from the University of Redlands and has already been to the National Dealers’ Association Academy, a 14-month training program for dealers. Matthew, a graduate of University of San Diego, is in sales at Rancho Ford in Temecula. “We’re not pushing them into the business,” said Eric, “just giving them opportunities by exposing them to all the parts. They make their own decisions.” If they do stay with the family business, this third generation could very well be hosting the Gosch Auto Group’s 100th Anniversary in 2064.

Ken Jones, owner of the local Fish Window Cleaning, was recognized for top sales at the annual Fish Window Cleaning Convention in St. Louis, Missouri in August. “It is great to be part of a nationwide team of professionals and to be recognized among those as a top performer,” said Jones. “However, what is really important to me is that we continue to grow our business one happy customer at a time. The real thanks needs to go out to you, our local community who continue to trust us with the privilege of keeping your windows clean both in your homes and your businesses.
