Luciano’s winning three course meal lands him the title of ‘MasterChef’ Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Murrieta resident Dino Luciano was announced as the winner of MasterChef Season 8 in the twohour season finale. Luciano left the popular Fox television show with $250,000 and a spot as a featured chef on the MasterChef cruise departing later this year.

In the finale, the three contestants faced a three-course meal challenge and were given 60 minutes to produce four meals per course. Judges Gordon Ramsay, Christina Tosi and Aaron Sanchez were accompanied by American restaurateur Joe Bastianich.

The challenge took place in the rearranged kitchen to accommodate a live audience. Standing on the balcony was Luciano’s parents, supporting friends and past contestants cheering him and the other two contestants.

Supervisor Jeffries has positive outlook despite challenges Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

District 1 Riverside County Supervisor, Kevin Jeffries, was the speaker at the Economic Workforce Development Committee luncheon held Sept. 21, at the Diamond Club in Lake Elsinore.

“I have been in office four years and nine months, and I have a lot of frustration and excitement,” Jeffries said. “An excitement dampened by our fiscal financial situation. My goal was to streamline bureaucracy and to work on quality of life issues. Budget issues frustrate both those goals.”

Jeffries gave a brief overview of the challenges facing the 10th largest county in the nation with its 2.3 million residents. Riverside County has a budget of $5.4 billion and employs 20,000 to 22,000 persons.

Ac‘I’m just cooking for people.’ It cording to Ramsay, the fig glaze would seem scarier, but it was a lot was offsetting, but it did not ruin the integrity of the plate. All four less nerve-wracking.”

For his appetizer, he cooked judges received an evenly-cooked, squid ink angel hair pasta with medium-rare lamb dish. His descalamari, clams and cherry toma- sert saw mixed results among the toes. Following was an entree of judges with some applauding the rack of lamb on top of lamb belly- taste and some questioning the sunchoke caponata with a fig and twist on the tiramisu.

Ultimately, it was Luciano’s artcippolini balsamic glaze. For his dessert, he took an unconventional istry, unique style and bold elevatwist on tiramisu, making a roasted tions which carried him throughout pistachio tiramisu cake with orange the competition and swayed the mascarpone cream, espresso caviar judges in the finale.

As filming ended in December, chance, but it wasn’t until I made it to the finale that I realized it was Luciano has worked toward new real,” Luciano said. “Going into ambitions such as starting his own the finale, I just made sure I had vegan-based food truck. Treating my dishes down and planned to get his life like his cooking, he plans on taking his projects a couple of my timing right.”

He explained that his experience steps at a time.

With his new opportunities, job was focused on having a good time and learning from the lives and offers and support from the community, Luciano strives to inspire cultures of his fellow contestants.

Luciano started the finale strong above all else.

“A lot of people need inspirawith a pasta dish that reminded Bastianich of hisANNUAL mother’s cook- tion,” Luciano said. “I know that 19TH ing. Bastianich’s opinion played because I was one of them for the SUSAN G. KOMEN an integral role in crowning the longest time; now that I have this

about trying to find a compromise.”

After some debate on specifics, Mayor Rick Gibbs asked the council to move forward with a decision.

“If we think that we’re going to make a vote tonight and we get everything right, we’re wrong,” Gibbs said. “If we do nothing, we’re wrong. If we make major changes, we are wrong, because we’ll be doing the engineering from the dais. My recommendation is, make whatever changes you feel are appropriate, but for the most part, go with the recommendations of staff.”

Gibbs said the council can always make changes as necessary if it finds specific aspects of the new ordinance don’t work.

“But if we just keep kicking the can down the street,” Gibbs said, “it will never happen.”

Councilman Randon Lane questioned how the city would enforce the limits on temporary signs, but ultimately moved the ordinance forward, with the request that city staff bring back the issue of temporary signs for further discussion “expeditiously.”

Luciano said his best lesson learned was that, “Vulnerability is the key to reaching your dreams.

Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent.

Murrieta City Council approved an ordinance changing a number of signage regulations in the city Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Commercial developments with a single tenant will be allowed to have 8-foot monument signs, and developments with multiple tenants will be allowed to have 10foot monument signs. Currently, all commercial developments are limited to 6-foot signs.

Businesses will only be allowed to display temporary signs for five months out of the year, and only for events.

The city will now allow 50foot pylon signs for advertising commercial developments along freeways. On city streets, 25-foot pylon signs will be permitted.

Also, limits on the size of freeway frontage signs, such as those advertising land for sale, will increase from 96 square feet to 320 square feet.

Perhaps the biggest change is that the city will now allow one digital display on one freestanding

sign per commercial development, which is may occupy no more than 20 percent of the sign’s area.

Some residents voiced opposition to the new changes.

Murrieta resident Barbara Nugent was concerned about allowing digital signs.

“The citizens don’t want that,” Nugent said. “The citizens aren’t here because this hasn’t become an issue for them.”

She urged council members to consider what she said are the wishes of residents and taxpayers, rather than businesses.

Faye Wons, also a Murrieta resident, said she was against increasing size limits for freeway frontage signs.

“I don’t like the huge signs,” she said. “I think they’re ugly.”

Councilman Kelly Seyarto disputed the idea that the city council was not considering the needs of city residents.

“If this weren’t about our residents, then we wouldn’t be having a conversation, because we would just be saying, do whatever you want,” Seyarto said. “This is all about the residents. And this is all

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

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call tollfree 1-866-256-0756 and enter 2003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

More pot permits granted by San Jacinto Council Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The San Jacinto City Council, after almost two hours of discussion, approved allowing eight outdoor and eight indoor marijuana cultivation permits applications based on staff’s recommendations during the Sept. 19 regular city council meeting.

The council approval means staff can accept more indoor and outdoor marijuana cultivation permit applications, bringing the number now available from three indoor and three outdoor to eight indoor and eight outdoor to developers. Currently the city staff has approved three indoor permits with three indoor permits submitted for ap-

proval, according to City Manager Rob Johnson’s staff report.

Approving the additional marijuana grow permits were councilmembers Russ Utz, Andrew Kotyuk and Crystal Ruiz. Mayor Scott Miller and Mayor Pro Tem Alonso Ladezma voted against the proposals.

Added in the recommendation for approval was a statement that new requests for more permits would have to wait until July 2019.

The addition was the only way the council could get the approval. The 3-2 vote carried the number adjustment request.

Utz learned at the last city council meeting that the maximum number of outdoor permit applications had already been submitted by

deadline, but two other applications could not make it due to an unexpected logistics problem. With that in mind, Utz ask if more permit applications could be allowed to accommodate the two late submittals out of fairness.

Any indoor or outdoor cultivation permit application must meet city ordinance standards before approval. Once approved, the developer would be able to pursue development of the land and facilities for the indoor or outdoor grow site. The developments would have to pay all the fees required and meet all building, safety and environmental standards of the city, county and state and any conditional use requirements set by the council and planning commission.

Utz and the other council members sought the staff’s recommendations whether or not to revise the permit application limit.

Johnson said the staff after reviewing the request suggested the council could approve the change, saying it would bring more revenue to the city in the future just with cultivation alone. Staff said once approved and developed the added marijuana grows would bring an estimated $250,025 annually for indoor based on 10,001 square foot minimum per facility and $653,400 annually for outdoor based on 1 acre per facility.

Johnson, several times during the discussion, said the council request for staff to look into the possibility of changing the three indoor and three outdoor application permit process already approved by the council only two weeks ago, “put us in a very difficult position.”

Before the lengthy discussion began, Miller said he believed the number should remain at three indoor and three outdoor as the original council approved and the city should wait to see what comes of them before more are approved.

“Why are we changing our position now?” Miller said.

Ledezma agreed.

“We haven’t even started yet,” Ledezma said. “I’m not going to say no, but I want to see what those (permit applications approved) do before any more are issued.”

He stayed with his first statement and voted not to approve the suggested adjustment at the end of the discussion.

Ruiz said, “Eight more is just too high.”

Yet, with the addition of no further discussion on the permit application matter until 2019, she voted to approve the change. She maintained her stand against recreational marijuana cultivation and use in the city.

“I will not support any dispensaries in this city,” Ruiz said.

Utz maintained his position that the city should capitalize on the approval of marijuana cultivation because it will bring higher paying jobs and more jobs to the community enhancing the city revenues. He

said the city needed to take action, in approving and regulating the marijuana developments before the state decided to make the decisions for the city and before the growing interest in developing the marijuana industry in San Jacinto wanes.

Staff was asked just how many calls were they getting by marijuana growers about obtaining permits.

“We are getting two or three calls a day,” one staff member said.

Kotyuk said he took office with the purpose of seeing the city grow in its development and to help it increase its revenues. He said the city supporting the legitimate medical marijuana industry is one way of achieving the goal. He pointed out the city only has until Dec. 31 to make its own marijuana cultivation, testing, distribution and dispensary sales decisions before the state does theirs.

“The state wants to get in the game after the deadline,” Kotyuk said.

He has favored bringing the medical marijuana industry into the city with strict regulations with the hope to drive the illegitimate growers out. Even with the passage of the ordinances thus far, permitting limited marijuana developments in the city “our job is not done,” Kotyuk said. He said he believes the city still needs more funding for its public safety departments and infrastructure with marijuana developments promising to bring in those needed revenues.

He said the city needed to increase the number of legitimate medical marijuana grows and have more workshops on the matter before the end of the year. The city council has discussions and workshops on permitting marijuana dispensaries in the city on its future agenda list. They are not permitted by the city at this time and considered highly illegal.

A number of developers at the meeting applauded council’s decision and congratulated each other after the council’s adjournment about 11 p.m.

meet,” Jefferies said. “The main cause is our criminal justice system: reconfiguring what constitutes a felony and changing incarceration times for prison versus county jails.

It used to be that prisons were for sentences longer than one year and county jails were for sentences up to one year. Now prisons are only for violent felonies and county jails must house non-violent felony offenders for sentences up to 14 years.

The system was not equipped for that. For example, health systems for inmates – we recently settled a suit that will cost us $40 million per year indefinitely. We built the new Indio jail facility to deal with capacity issues, but it will cost $40 million per year just to staff it.”

He spoke about housing shortages.

“I don’t believe we can build our way out of this,” Jefferies said.

“Every new residence in unincorporated Riverside County costs us for services and infrastructure, and we only get 22 cents on the dollar to the county. Based on an average $350,000 sales price, we would need to build 3,000 to 4,000 homes to fund one fire department.

Commercial development is what is needed to offset and balance these costs.”

Jeffries also addressed questions on issues of marijuana growth and dispensaries, legislation regarding outsourcing, health care, homelessness, internal process improvements and technology.

Jeffries concluded his speech optimistically.

“I think we can figure our way out of this, but it takes time,” he said.

“Of that amount, after state and federal mandates and debt service, we only have $700 million of discretionary budget,” Jefferies said.

“Much of that goes toward providing sheriff and fire services as well as county services.”

He spoke of his concerns on the impact of growth in the county.

“Visionaries planned many years ago for transportation, but they could not envision the level of explosive growth we have seen in this area,” Jefferies said. “Our commute woes are not unique to Riverside County; Orange County and Los Angeles are experiencing it too. But I don’t want all the roofs and concrete. There is a housing shortage in California, and our kids graduating from high school and college are basically sentenced to move out of the state due to lack of inventory and lack of affordability.

Government bills – like those that mandate prevailing wages – raise the cost of housing that we want to make affordable.

“We are supposed to build 10,000-12,000 affordable housing units in our unincorporated areas,” he said. “But where are we going to find large enough spaces with transit service, water, not to mention funding for sidewalks, parks, fire, code enforcement, etc.”

Jefferies spoke about the county’s criminal justice issues.

“We are in a really good economy – people are working, homes are selling at good prices, consumers are spending – but the county is having a tough time making ends

Three big projects to press ahead with Temecula council’s blessing Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Three major projects – an upscale Old Town hotel, a senior living campus and a mixed-use housing tract – recently won a green light from the Temecula City Council.

The three development plans – each in different quadrants of the city – marked the largest flurry of council planning approvals since the 2008 recession tightened its grip on Temecula and the rest of the nation.

“We haven’t had something like this (volume of projects) in many, many years,” Mayor Maryann Edwards said in a telephone interview after the council actions.

“I’d say several years at least.”

Edwards noted that all of the projects took years of city staff review and community meetings before they were presented to the council for final action. Yet each of the projects drew concerns or criticism despite their extensive fine-tuning during the review process.

“They’ve been in the planning process a long time due to the scope of the projects,” Edwards said.

The council reviews of the three projects spanned nearly six hours, Sept. 5. The meeting began earlier than most council sessions and did not end until after midnight.

The three projects together generated about 30 comments from audience members, an outpouring of remarks that alternately detailed residents’ opposition or support for the plans. Many audience members cited concerns over project densities, increased traffic congestion or other potential impacts.

Concerns over a loss of Old Town’s historic character, in part over the anticipated destruction of the Butterfield Square commercial complex, surfaced during the review of an upscale hotel that would span two streets and blanket nearly 70,000 square feet.

Several historical preservationists spoke of the importance of

Butterfield Square, which was built in the late 1970s by a prominent De Luz craftsman and artist.

The wood structure with an iconic facade was a prominent Old Town fixture long before the historical business district was transformed into a regional tourist magnet.

The construction of the hotel would also require the destruction of a closed child care center.

Much of Old Town’s transformation has been fueled by the construction of the city’s $93 million Civic Center complex, which opened in December 2010 along Interstate 15 at Main and Mercedes streets.

The 95,500-square-foot municipal complex and its connected parking garage anchor about 5 acres that the city cobbled together at a cost of more than $4 million. The Spanish-style complex includes a conference room, police satellite office, visitors’ center, outdoor amphitheater and a tile fountain and a mosaic mural that feature historic themes.

The hotel plan was presented

by Bernie Truax II, who has developed land in Temecula on his own and with other groups. He is perhaps best known in the city for a boxy, art deco building that he opened in Old Town alongside I-15 in May 2014.

The hotel site is a short distance from the Truax Building and the Civic Center. Plans call for the hotel to feature three penthouse suites, three luxury rooms, 16 premium rooms, 21 deluxe rooms and 108 standard rooms.

The five-floor hotel would have enclosed valet parking and include an upper floor pool. Hotel restaurants would range from pub offerings to fine dining.

Several council members praised the hotel plan before it won approval.

“It’s going to be spectacular, beautiful, not only outside but inside, and it’s going to tie Old Town together,” Edwards said during the council review.

Councilman James “Stew” Stewart cast the lone ‘no,’ vote, saying he liked the hotel’s design

but not its location.

A 493,044-square-foot senior living project netted the scrutiny of neighbors of Linfield Christian School, a private academy located along Pauba Road east of Margarita Road.

The senior campus would anchor a corner of Linfield’s 100acre property and include 317 units that would be split between independent living, assisted living and memory care housing. The multi-building campus would blanket nearly 16 acres and include a parking garage.

Vehicles would access the senior campus from Rancho Vista Road, east of Temecula Valley High School.

The project’s amenities include a 9,319-square-foot performance theater, a hair salon, credit union, movie theater, dining facilities, wine cellar, billiards room and a “vitality center” slated to feature an indoor swimming pool, spa and exercise and aerobic rooms.

Dubbed the Generations project, Linfield officials and the developer’s representative said the facility would encourage interaction between seniors and area students and their parents.

For years, Linfield officials had been searching for a development partner to occupy unused land within its sprawling facility. Other proposals, including a college for golf professionals, failed to gain traction and were not built.

Several proponents described the project as an asset to local seniors and the region. Dennis Hollingsworth, a retired state senator who serves on Linfield’s governing board, said it was “amazing how God brought these two parties together here in Temecula.”

The council shrugged off neighbors’ concerns over traffic congestion and approved the senior campus plan in a 4-0 vote.

The developer said the campus would be a one-of-a-kind facility in the region, and the familyowned company hopes to open its doors to new residents in less than three years.

The third project, dubbed Cy-

press Ridge, calls for 245 housing units to be built on a 23-acre site at the northeast corner of Pechanga Parkway and Loma Linda Road.

That developer said his firm would, upon the buyer’s request, adapt units to serve residents who are elderly, disabled or have special needs. That project attracted comments from about 10 audience members, some of whom cited concerns over the potential for increased traffic on busy Pechanga Parkway.

But city staff and council members countered that traffic to the homes would be far less than the

multi-story office building that would be allowed on the property under the current zoning designation.

The plan calls for the developer to make improvements and do repairs and maintenance at nearby Pala Community Park. The project would integrate existing trails in the area and also include five picnic sites, four tot lots, a clubhouse and a bocce ball court.

Stewart cast the lone dissenting vote against the Cypress Ridge project before it won council approval.

Tons of trash is removed by volunteers during Val Vista Community Cleanup Day

Waste Management and county workers stack piles of electronic waste items that will be recycled during the Sept. 16 Val Vista Community Cleanup Day. The free waste disposal day was sponsored by 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Dozens of cars and trucks loaded down with every kind of trash, including old mattresses, outdated computers, televisions, metal filing cabinets, broken children’s toys, unserviceable kitchen appliances and other bulky cast-offs, lined up on Mayberry Avenue in Val Vista to unload at the Community Cleanup Days’ pickup center, Sept.16.

The Val Vista area Community Cleanup Day was called for by Riverside 3rd District Supervisor

Chuck Washington with help from the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources and Waste Management which brought in plenty of bins and heavy equipment to help the residents of the area. The event saw successful results and good turnout.

“This is great. Fantastic,” Nora Hatfield said; the Val Vista resident was waiting in the line of other trash laden vehicles along the 43900 block of Mayberry at the parking lot across from the Val Vista Elementary School. She and her family have participated in

other community cleanup days in the past and said she appreciates that the county does dispose of things that residents would otherwise have to take to the county dumps themselves.

Omar Balderas, sitting in his pickup truck laden with broken children’s toys, tires and other things, said, “I think this is good.

Not everybody has the time to clean up their old stuff and take it to the dump.” It was his first time using the free trash pickup day for the community.

Separate Waste Management bins were set up in the parking lot.

Each bin had its own designation, one for tires, one for electronic waste, one for metals and one for bulky miscellaneous trash. Regular

small household trash and hazardous waste was not accepted.

The cleanup day started at 8 a.m., and by 9:30 a.m., Waste Management trucks had already hauled away a dozen 40-yard bins to disposal or recycling sites.

Tons and tons of other waste were collected until noon that day.

The location was manned by 30 employees from Waste Management and county Waste Resources who donned safety equipment and helped residents unload their trash.

The cleanup day event didn’t end there, as early that morning community volunteers gathered for a briefing and instructions on the areas around town that needed a cleanup and trash removal. The volunteers from local church

members, businesses and schools, including the supervisor and his staff members, reportedly joined in on several of the cleanups. One major project was cleaning graffiti off the pilings and workings underneath the Lake Street and Soboba Avenue bridge. Weeds and cluttered vacant lots were also cleaned up by volunteers in the Val Vista area.

Over the past year, volunteer cleanup teams from the community and county staff have removed trash, graffiti and weeds in several different locations in the 3rd District, including Marine Drive in Hemet, under the State Street Bridge in San Jacinto, Homeland and Anza.

Police joint powers agreement reviewed by San Jacinto City Council Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The possibility of San Jacinto joining other area cities in forming their own large police department under a Joint Powers Agreement was discussed in a special workshop

called by the city council, Sept. 19.

The study, started last year, was made by the Matrix Consulting Group on behalf of the nine cities considering the feasibility of a Police Service JPA. The nine cities included in the Police Services JPA study include Coachella, San Jacinto,

Jurupa Valley, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Wildomar, Perris and Lake Elsinore. The cities now contract with the Riverside County Sheriff for police services.

Richard Brady of Matrix Consulting gave the council the results of their study using data collected

were that full-time officers and personnel hired would be new and it would save California Public Employees Retirement System costs; there are no unfunded pensions or medical benefits to pay; nonessential services could be reduced or cut and the JPA would still retain the regional county services like jails and civilian personnel in the field.

Councilmen Russ Utz said that with San Jacinto joining the police services JPA “there would be no savings in service levels. We have the same service level now.”

Councilman Andrew Kotyuk inquired about the startup costs, questioning where the city would get the money. He did see it as an alternative to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department contracts.

Parker assured Mayor Pro Tem Alonzo Ledezma the city under a JPA would still have the use of the county jails and the 911 system at no extra cost.

Mayor Scott Miller thanked Parker for the review, commenting that the issue of a Police Services JPA is “something that is not going away.”

City Manager Rob Johnson said the city will meet again in October to further discuss the JPA concept.

from the sheriff and the other cities in 2016.

“We got a lot of information from the sheriff’s department,” Brady said.

He said a JPA would bring each of the joining cities everything they needed for police services, excluding jails and other countywide services like helicopters. He said the regional service could save the cities about 10 percent or about $14 million a year compared to their current costs.

The startup costs to the city of San Jacinto, providing all the other cities joined in, would be about $8.4 million and about $66 million over 10 years. He said that San Jacinto, if it joined, would not “have a lot of early savings,” while the larger cities would “save a lot” in startup costs.

The Matrix study showed San Jacinto in 2016 paid $9,993,198 to the Riverside sheriff’s department for services, and if the services remained the same, a JPA would cost an estimated $9,912,385 with a savings of $79,813.

He said the city would benefit in the long run with having 38 officers on its force by 2021, the recommended number for the local population.

Daisy Tate, executive director of the Veterans Supplemental Support Network, wanted to make sure these heroes were given the recognition for their service. She spearheaded an effort to have local and state governments to recognize September as “Heroes Month” to honor local, everyday heroes from all walks of life for their selfless actions in the service of others.

In 2013, Tate asked her state Senator Joel Anderson, R-El Cajon, to write a Senate resolution officially declaring September as “California Heroes Month.” Anderson introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 97 in 2014, and it received unanimous support in the legislature. Since then, September has officially been

HS Football: One final week before league action heats up, Week Four in the books JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Last week’s whirlwind of excitement has come and gone and as the dust settled, only three local teams remain undefeated going into this final week of games before league match-ups begin. Murrieta Mesa of the Southwestern League, Lakeside of the Sunbelt League and California Lutheran of the Agape 8-Man league all have unblemished records thus far. The question remains though, what did the preseason do for many of the local squads?

Murrieta Mesa leads the Southwestern league with points, putting up 245 so far this season and has had their best start ever garnishing a 5-0 record. Of course, after a roller coaster win last week in their homecoming game against Valley View, where their huge overtime stuff at the 2-yard line bestowed a 59-58 win for the Rams, are they up to the task of shocking the Southwestern League? Ask anyone at the school and the answer is, ‘yes.’ In other games, the Nighthawks, last year’s SWL champs, bounced back and knocked off a strong Oaks Christian squad to better their record to 3-2, Vista Murrieta picked up their first win of the season ousting Crenshaw and Chaparral is nipping on the hooves of the Rams after bettering their record to 4-1 with a Victor Valley defeat last week. Luckily for every team this side of the 91 freeway, everyone is close to starting over as the hunt for the playoffs ensues.

Great Oak and Temecula Valley will be the only teams in the SWL playing this week as the remaining four teams took advantage of Zero Week and have BYEs this week.

McGwire Bustamante (10) and the Great Oak Wolfpack will be on the road this week to face San Juan Hills.

The race to the top continues for the many other leagues in the valley as well. Heritage (Sunbelt League) was undefeated until last week when they played Trinity League powerhouse Orange Lutheran and though they put up a fight, they came up short falling 34-21 in the end. Citrus Hill of the

Mountain Pass League also went into last week undefeated, but made some early mistakes and could not recover in time against Rancho Cucamonga. League titles are up or grabs after this week, but for now the breakdown of the Southwestern League games from Week Three, plus 8-Man Agape and South Val-

ley League scores and stats are as follows: Southwestern League (All games played at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted) Chaparral (4-1) – 29 Victor Valley (2-3) - 10 Passing: Harris – 8 for 27, 103

believe in the power of cancer support. Many showed up to walk or run a 5K, which all began at Vail Headquarters, around the back side of the Wal-Mart shopping center, off 79 South, then participants

made their way to Butterfield Stage Road and back along 79 South/Temecula Parkway. The organizers then celebrated the fundraising efforts with live music, food and awards. Those that

participated in the Walk of Hope helped provide free services and resources to individuals impacted by cancer in our community. The funds raised through the Walk of Hope directly help Michelle’s

Place and provide the necessary support services to women and families dealing with breast cancer and to individuals with any cancer in need of support.

Pritchard has 49 digs as Aztecs win Denver Invitational Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDMERMEDIA.COM

Lake Elsinore’s Devyn Pritchard is now the primary libero on the San Diego State University volleyball team, and during the Sept.

15-16 Denver Invitational tournament she had 49 digs to contribute to the Aztecs winning the tournament hosted by Denver University.

“I thought I did good. I tried my best to lead the serve-receive passing,” Pritchard said.

Although San Diego State lost a five-game match to the University of California, Riverside Sept.

15 the Aztecs won both Sept. 16 matches with victories over Gonzaga in five games and over Denver University in four sets.

“We played with a lot of energy and heart. I felt like we came out with the expectation of winning the tournament,” Pritchard said. “We were all happy with our performance as a whole this weekend.”

The Aztecs had a similar result when they hosted the JLABS Challenge tournament the previous w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

week, losing Sept. 8 against Loyola Marymount but winning Sept. 9 contests against Long Beach State and Pacific. “We came off a good home tournament,” Pritchard said.

The match against Long Beach State was the only one of those which went five sets; Pritchard had 22 digs against the 49ers.

Pritchard led the team with 21 digs in the Denver Invitational match against UC Riverside. She added six assists against the Highlanders. Her 15 digs against Gonzaga were also the team high for the match, and Pritchard had four assists. She also had two serving aces against the Bulldogs. “Coach was very happy with my serving this weekend,” Pritchard said.

Deitre Collins-Parker is the Aztecs’ head coach. “She had us serving specific targets and I was doing my best to hit it every time,” Pritchard said.

Pritchard had two serving errors in 24 serves against UC Riverside, 26 serves with no errors against Gonzaga, and 17 serves with one error against Denver.

As a back row player Pritchard rarely takes attack swings, but she had two kills in two hitting attempts against Gonzaga for a 1.000 hitting percentage. The swings were the first she took during the 2017 season.

Pritchard remembered that earlier in the match the Gonzaga players had been backing up while on defense in preparation for the Aztecs’ third touch. Pritchard, who had the second touch, developed an alternate plan. “I just put it over on two and they weren’t ready for it,” she said.

The four games against Denver included 13 digs by Pritchard along with five assists.

The six assists against UC Riverside constituted a season high for Pritchard, and the 15 assists in the tournament brought her season total to 41 for the 46 sets she played in the Aztecs’ 13 matches.

“The setters were playing some good defense this weekend, so I was able to get some assists,” Pritchard said.

Playing three matches including two on the same day in the Mile High City wasn’t a challenge for Pritchard. “It wasn’t too bad at Denver,” she said. “A lot of our conference games are at elevation.”

The University of Wyoming gymnasium is at 7,220 feet above sea level. Air Force home matches are at 7,085 feet. The University of New Mexico and Colorado State University gymnasiums are at altitudes exceeding 5,000 feet, and the elevation is more than 4,500 feet at Utah State University and

the University of Nevada.

“It just takes a little while to get used to,” Pritchard said.

“It’s more difficult to play at elevation. We always go a day early so we can get extra practice,” Pritchard said. “There’s less oxygen. It’s harder for us to breathe.”

This is Pritchard’s fourth collegiate season. She was also the Aztecs’ primary libero in 2015 and 2016. During the 2014 season she played in all 29 of the Aztecs’ matches as a libero or defensive specialist.

Pritchard attended Murrieta

Mesa High School as a freshman, sophomore, and junior and transferred to Temescal Canyon High School for her senior year. She played club volleyball with Viper and 951 Elite.

The Denver Invitational tournament, which concluded the Aztecs’ play before Mountain West Conference competition, gave Pritchard team-leading season totals of 174 digs and 11 serving aces.

“I’m looking forward to a good conference play,” Pritchard said.

in Australia.

In canopy formation skydiving, teams of four skydivers deploy their parachutes immediately after jumping from the plane and build formations as quickly as possible while holding onto each others canopies. A videographer flies alongside to capture the action.

The team won gold in both the 4-way rotations and 4-way sequential events.

Too Wrapped Up members are Will Kitto of Irvine, Taylor Cole of Rancho Cucamonga, Sean Jones of Corona, Eric Gallan of Fallbrook and Glenn Fafard of Riverside. The team trains locally at Skydive Elsinore.

Immediately on the heels of the Parachuting Championships are the 2017 USPA National Skydiving Championships, which includes multiple freefall competitions, happening now at Skydive Perris. Nearly 500 of the country’s top skydivers are heading to Perris for the biggest and most thrilling skydiving competition in the country. The event continues through Saturday, Sept. 30, and is free and open to the public.

HUSD Parent Resource Center helping parents with their children’s education needs

Hemet Unified School District’s Parent Resource Center at 26866 San Jacinto St.is now open to all parents in the district to learn more about their students’ needs in school. The center provides classes for parents who can learn good parenting skills, improve their English and how to use computers and the technology children are learning in school all to help their child.

PRC Director Carlos Navarro and Andrea Lara Pierce stand by one of the computers available to parents whose children are attending a Hemet School District school to help them read their children’s grades and other school information.

The Hemet Unified School District’s new Parent Resource Center is already bringing parents to the site to learn how to help their children achieve better in school.

The parents, through the center located in new offices and classrooms at 26866 San Jacinto St. (adjacent to the Aspire School) now have a better opportunity to learn about their children’s schooling.

Questions are answered by a highly qualified bilingual staff and classes offered weekly to help parents learn how to help their children in school become better educated.

It is a welcome addition to a school district – one of the largest in the state – that has almost 51 percent of its students enrolled considered of minority races and 88 percent seen as economically disadvantaged, according to the district’s 2016 enrollment figures.

Most of the students in the district are of Latin or Mexican descent.

English as a Second Language are priority classes in the schools.

The classes offered at the PRC teach parents to be informed and positive about their children’s education, master the English language, provide better nutrition, learn the necessary technological skills needed to advance in a com-

“It is an opportunity for us to connect our families and those who are taking care of our children that we serve to bring them in to provide them with the resources they might not have access too or to connect them to the right place to support what they need as the adults who are taking care of the child,” said HUSD Superintendent Christi Barrett. “It is an effort to recognize this a partnership with families and insure that our families have what they need to be successful.”

“A lot of time parents don’t know where to go for help with their children in school,” explains Carlos Navarro, director of Equity and Community Outreach for HUSD and the PRC. “They can come here to empower themselves so they can help their own kids.”

He said the parents have a free opportunity to improve or learn the English language if they need it to check their children’s homework and what they are learning. “They can become more literate for their children.”

Assisting Director Navarro at the PRC are: Andrea Lara Pierce, Parent Engagement Specialist; Miriam Ortiz, District Community Liaison; and Amelia Trinidad, Administrative Secretary III. Only two weeks since the center celebrated its grand opening a number of parents have attended the Parent Project, Jr program that began Tuesday, Sept. 18, and a DACA: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Informational Workshop & Renewal Application Assistance workshop.

PRC beginning at 9 a.m., Friday, Oct. 6, is scheduling a “Triple P, Positive Parenting Program” that will help parents with simple routines and ways to help their children from 2 to 12 years of age to develop positive attitudes, skills, and behaviors that will help them realize their full potential. The program will continue every Friday morning.

School of Public Health study finds that eating walnuts improves senior nutrition Walnuts are found to improve senior nutrition, according to a study from the Loma Linda University’s School of Public Health.

James Ponder SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

the Center for Nutrition, Lifestyle and Disease Prevention at the School of Public Health, has been researching walnuts for decades. He found that daily walnut consumption reduces serum cholesterol in seniors that walnuts are high in an omega-3 fatty acid that improves neuron function and that they contain antioxidants and phytochemicals with anti-aging effects.

“We hypothesize that walnuts may have a favorable effect in delaying the well-known age-related cognitive decline among elderly people,” Sabate said.

Bitok noted that the act of incorporating walnuts into a daily diet is a simple strategy for addressing declining nutrient intake in older adults. He also said walnuts promote cardiovascular health without any adverse effects on body weight.

Bitok and his colleagues learned that participants who ate walnuts reported significantly higher dietary intake of total protein, vegetable protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Par-

A Loma Linda University School of Public Health study published Aug. 23 in the online edition of the British Journal of Nutrition found that seniors who added walnuts to their diet were more likely to make other favorable modifications to their nutrient profile than seniors who did not add walnuts to their diet.

Dr. Edward Bitok, an assistant professor of nutrition at LLU School of Allied Health Professions, was a graduate student at the School of Public Health at the time the two-year study was conducted.

The study’s findings were incorporated into his doctoral thesis.

Bitok said the goal of the study, which included 317 participants, was to assess what happens to the overall nutrient profile when independent adults on self-selected diets incorporate a noticeable amount of walnuts into their diet.

Dr. Joan Sabate, director of

ticipants in the group that did not eat walnuts were found to have consumed significantly more carbo-

and a more active social life.

Increased exercise may require dedication, but isn’t difficult to achieve. Creating a more extensive social life, however, can be a challenge for many people, and that’s where volunteering can make a difference.

From big cities to small towns, there are always numerous volunteer opportunities available. Some positions may call on past skills, talents and work experiences, while others might allow a senior to learn new skills. Often it simply means being a helpful presence when assistance is needed. But in all cases, volunteering provides an opportunity for seniors to meet new people, help others and feel more positive about themselves, which are all great stress reducers for anybody.

While getting started can seem difficult, when it comes to volunteering it’s usually easy. A call to a local school, hospital, YMCA, Red Cross, animal shelter or other nonprofit group will usually provide plenty of opportunities or suggestions. There are also online services available, such as www.VolunteerMatch.com, which can link volunteers to local nonprofit needs.

Volunteering is a great way to stay active, be more involved and reduce stress, regardless of age. Find out who needs help locally today.

As people age, few are going to be one of those smiling, gray-haired, fictional people that advertisers love to show. The reality is that many older Americans find themselves facing a variety of issues and problems that can bring substantial amounts of stress to their senior years.

While any one can feel stress at any age, most stress-inducing events have a set deadline after which they end. A student might be anxious about an upcoming test, or a businessman worried about a presentation, but once the events pass, they’re over. For such stress, it’s possible to take action in studying more or holding extra presentation rehearsals and to help address the problem.

But for an older person facing problems such as deteriorating health, caring for an ill spouse, the possible loss of independent living or waning financial resources, stress levels can be high, ongoing and often impossible to eliminate. The result can be serious depression, one of the most common health problems facing older Americans.

While such stress-inducing issues don’t just disappear, there are ways to manage stress and reduce the negative effects it can have on someone’s life.

The most common advice is to live a more active life that usually translates as more physical activity

You don’t need to change your company culture to attract millennials Brad Deutser SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Employers spend a lot of time puzzling over what they need to do to attract millennials and how to retain those young employees once they hire them.

Many organizations even adjust their corporate culture to better appeal to the generation of young adults who are expected to make up half the global workforce by 2020, and who are said to be uncomfortable with rigid corporate structures, expect rapid progression and want constant feedback.

But could it be that companies desperate to recruit millennials are looking at the situation all wrong?

When companies talk about how to attract and keep millennials, they take a surface approach. They are treating millennials uniquely, but that’s not the way they should do it. There’s not one approach you should take with your overall workforce and a separate approach to take for millennials.

In fact, companies will enjoy more success if they remain true to themselves rather than try to be all things to all millennials.

An organization will do fine if it’s willing to get to the core of what it believes in and then hold true to those beliefs. That’s providing a sense of organizational clarity that millennials and others will appreciate. When companies aren’t true to who they are, they become lost. They will be disconnected from their workforce and that’s when millennials are likely to look elsewhere for jobs.

To attract millennials and keep them around for the long haul, companies consider three things.

Be clear about their vision.

The most critical ingredient to achieving business success is clarity. It means an organization needs to be clear about its purpose and its vision, as well as clear about the roles of those who carry out that purpose and vision. This vision remains true whether employees are millennials, baby boomers or part of another generation.

Be willing to communicate.

It’s important that a company explains to employees and job candidates how things are done at the company and what is expected of them. Once they are told how things are, people can opt in or they

can opt out, and usually they will opt in. But if you are unclear about the expectations or your beliefs, they will opt out or there will be problems.

Be able to keep things positive.

I am a proponent of positive psychology, so I believe keeping an upbeat atmosphere is essential to a company’s culture. You want your employees to be happy. If you can find a way to encourage a positive

outlook and attitude, employees from every generation will be more motivated and will perform their jobs better.

You can have things in your company that will engage millennials, but there must be a holistic view of who the company is and what the company culture is. That perspective itself hooks millennials. You don’t have to change your company culture to bring them in.

Brad Deutser is president of Deutser, a consulting firm that advises leaders and organizations about achieving clarity, especially in times of transition, growth or crisis. He is an expert at leveraging culture to drive business performance, and his firm has counseled organizations ranging from the Fortune 100 to nonprofits. Deutser launched his firm in 2002.

Countywide jobless rate rises RIVERSIDE – Despite a pickup in labor market activity, the unemployment rate crept higher in Riverside County last month, state officials reported last week.

The jobless rate in August, based on preliminary estimates, was 6.5 percent, compared with 6.3 percent in July, according to the California Employment Development Department.

Agency figures showed that the August rate was two-10ths of a percentage point below the yearago level, when unemployment stood at 6.7 percent.

There were 68,600 Riverside County residents out of work last

month, compared with 66,400 in July, data showed.

The unincorporated community of Cabazon had the highest unemployment rate countywide at 15.5 percent, followed by the March Air Reserve Base censusdesignated community at 12.5 percent and Mecca at 12.2 percent.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in August was 6.2 percent, compared with 6.1 percent in July, officials said.

Bi-county data indicated that the public sector posted the biggest gains in the region, adding 7,100 jobs last month – the vast majority

of them in education, as teachers and support staff returned from summer break and were counted as back in the workforce.

The construction, health services, information technology and financial services sectors altogether added another 2,600 positions, according to figures.

Conversely, a total 5,400 jobs were lost in farming, manufacturing, retail trade, professional services, hospitality and miscellaneous unclassified industries, the EDD said.

According to the agency, the state’s non-seasonally adjusted jobless rate in August was 5.4 percent.

How to decide who merits your money as you ponder your legacy Patrick Renn SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Not long ago, Jeff Bezos took to Twitter to ask the world for charitable-giving ideas.

The Amazon.com founder sought a charitable strategy that looked at the long-term, and soon he was inundated with suggestions.

Of course, Bezos has plenty of money to give, but you don’t need to be a billionaire to reach a point in life when you start feeling the charitable urge.

There comes a time when many of us want to do more than just accumulate money and property. You want to distribute the bounty. You want to enjoy what you worked to acquire, of course, but part of the change in attitude is looking to see how you can do more than just take care of yourself.

But who should your wealth – whether abundant or meager – go to? Should all of it be kept in the family when you die? Should it go to your church, to a favorite charity or to the college that educated you?

Ultimately, each individual is

the only one who can answer that question, but there are steps that can help you prepare for making that decision.

Be aware that circumstances change.

When you die, whatever you accumulated can end up in the hands of family, other beneficiaries, charities – or Uncle Sam. A lot of people I talk to think they have it all worked out and that the IRS is going to get nothing. But often, when I examine their documents and analyze the numbers, I discover that’s not true. It’s not always because they did a bad job.

More than likely, it’s because tax laws changed since they did their calculations, or something about their personal situation changed.

Realize that fair doesn’t always mean equal.

People often divide an inheritance into equal shares. If there are three children, for example, each gets one-third. People should sometimes reconsider the automatic urge to divide that way. For example, both children may be hard working, but one might be

well off financially, while the other is struggling to make ends meet.

One sibling might be more adept at handling money, while the other will quickly blow any inheritance.

Understand that even small gifts can help Many people think that leaving something to charity is for the very rich only. But anyone, regardless of net worth, can find something they care about and include that charity, organization or cause as part of their legacy. A financial professional might even be able to help you leverage your resources so that your gift accomplishes more than you would have imagined.

We can contribute to the greater good with our time, our efforts and our money. In giving financially, we are, in effect, giving all three, since money represents the fruit of our time and effort. When we share our money, we share ourselves.

Patrick Renn, author of “Finding Your Money’s Greater Purpose,” has been a certified financial planner for more than 35 years and holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Vil-

lanova University and an MBA from Loyola College. Renn – who currently lives in Georgia – is the founder of Renn Wealth Management Group, the former president of the Georgia Society of Certified Financial Planners and former president of the Georgia chapter of the International Association

for Financial Planning. He is the past president of the Georgia Special Olympics, is the current chair of the Day 1 Endowment and has served on countless other charitable and endowment boards.

Gypsy Sunset Boutique offers fun fashions for anytime of the year

Gypsy Sunset Boutique owner Kathleen Weber-Springemann, left, and manager Sarah Christoplis work to offer fun boutique clothing options for shoppers in Murrieta.

Gypsy Sunset Boutique is located at 24619 Washington Ave., Suite 103, in Historic Downtown Murrieta.

Be prepared.

Always have advertising/marketing money set aside for “emergencies.” You may need to react to a competitor.

You might want to capitalize on local, regional, national or breaking news that affects your business or industry in a positive way (opportunity). If it’s negative news, you will want to respond quickly to present the right message or response.

Gypsy Sunset Boutique in Murrieta offers a variety of unique styles and collections.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Nestled deep in the heart of Historic Downtown Murrieta is a brick storefront that doesn’t even begin to allude to the treasures shoppers will find when they enter the store.

From the moment that patrons step into Gypsy Sunset Boutique, they are transported to a different locale. As the relaxing vibe takes over, women can browse unique fashion finds from around the world, oohing and ahhing over everything from Turkish cotton tops designed to keep you cool to locally made hats and jewelry that can only be found in store or online at www. gypsysunset.com.

“I feel like this store is a piece of me,” shop owner Kathleen WeberSpringemann said. “What I wanted to bring was what you find up in the mountain community, what you find in the Laguna Beach communities and all those treasures you find when you are traveling. I wanted to bring it all here, so we don’t have to travel so far to get all those wonderful items.”

From comfortable slouchy sweaters to billowy maxi dresses and every woman’s dream pant, the ultra-flattering, anti-gravity pant from T. Party, Gypsy Sunset Boutique, now in its second year, has it all.

“It’s about the fabrics,” Springemann said. “Mainly the types of materials that I choose are like the banded cuff and the treated Turkish cotton to keep the body cool.”

Originally set up as a home business, Springemann quickly realized the need for a storefront where women could come and try on the clothes before buying them.

“Initially, this was set up to be our warehouse, but we opened it up so people could actually come in and feel the clothes and try them on and know the fit they are getting,” she said.

Customers at Gypsy Sunset Boutique are as varied as the clothes Springemann stocks. Ranging from teens to women in their 80s, Springemann prides herself on having something for everyone.

“It fits a wide variety of ladies,” she said. “It’s unique because everything is versatile. You can take our clothes from the beach to dinner. You can wear the clothes out and be fashionable.”

Not only is the store open for shoppers, Springemann also hosts trunk shows from designers and encourages private parties.

“We are bringing those private parties out of the home and hold them here,” Springemann explained. “You book a private party of six ladies or more, and we shut down the store for you. You can bring in food and drinks that you would like, and we will show our customers how to wear the clothes.”

Private parties are also a great way to fundraise for charity events.

“People really do support us here in Murrieta,” Springemann said.

But for Springemann, it’s not just about the clothes; it’s about making women feel beautiful in their own skin, no matter their size, body type or anything else on which they may be judged.

“I like to share those special things that I find and teach them how to dress outside the box,” Springemann explained. “That’s what we do, is help women to feel comfortable, beautiful and sexy.”

Zack Caplinger Jazz Quartet captivates audience at Hemet’s DVAC Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The up-and-coming young Zack Caplinger Jazz Quartet took the stage to delight an appreciative audience with their delightful innovations and arrangements of smooth jazz Saturday evening, Sept. 16, at the Diamond Valley Art Center on Harvard Street in historic downtown Hemet.

The quartet, made up of California State University Fullerton students Zack Caplinger on jazz guitar, Christina Araoka on piano with Riverside City College students Emiliano Villarreal on bass and Izzak Weatherwax on drums, went beyond many of today’s jazz greats with their own arrangements of many jazz standards and their own fun-filled improvisations.

They took the opportunity to play their own rendition of jazz standard “Green Dolphin Street” and Charlie Parker’s “Anthropology.” The group listened to each other and played off each other during the session, often laughing and smiling at personal versions of the different bars. The audience applauded cheered the performance.

Especially pleasing to the audience was the back-and-forth friendly improvisation competition between pianist Araoka and guitarist Caplinger on some of the tunes, like “Have You Met Miss Jones” and the jazz ballad “Easy Living.”

Not to be left out of the quartets praises, smiles and nods of approval were the individual players Villarreal on his fast-fingered bass parts and the rolls of drummer Weatherwax. All the antics brought hand claps and voices of approval.

“That’s what jazz is all about,” Caplinger said during intermission.

The Zack Caplinger Jazz Quartet delights an intimate audience at the Diamond Valley Art Center in downtown Hemet, Saturday, Sept. 16, with their mellow smooth jazz sounds. It was their first appearance at the DVAC. Seen from the left are pianist Christina Araoka, bassist Emiliano Villarreal, drummer Izaak Weatherwax and jazz guitarist Zack Caplinger.

“The essence of jazz is improvisation.”

The quartet, which has only been together for the past year, is finding tremendous delight in each other jazz skills, they said; they have been playing together in nightclubs and special events in Fullerton and Riverside with many more opportunities planned. Many of the jazz tunes they played Sept. 16 were new to the group’s repertoire, such as the standard “Lady Bird.”

“We met at some alumni events and just ‘smashed’ together,” a happy Caplinger who comes from a musical family, said. He got his start with the band “The New Generation” before graduation from RCC. The DVAC, 123 N. Harvard Street, in Hemet is beginning to

be a “place” for some top jazz musicians with its intimate setting, lighted stage and great sound in the historic 1800s building. More artists are coming to the DVAC stage including Peter Curtis Wine Art and Jazz, Saturday, Oct. 21; ColeSlaw, the singer and songwriter, Saturday, Nov. 4; the Musical Chain Gang with folk and rock pieces, Saturday, Nov. 11; Kelly Corbin Trio, Saturday, Nov. 18; 11tY’s indie rock, Saturday, Dec. 2 and the Tralain Band Saturday, Jan. 6.

The performances cost only $25 apiece with two drinks included and is discounted to $20 for DVAC members. Ticket costs may change with staging needs. For information and tickets, call (951) 652-3822 or visit www.theDVAC.org.

Jazz guitarist Zack Caplinger plays with his quartet’s bassist Emiliano, backed by drummer Izaak Weatherwax, not shown, during their first jazz performance at the Diamond Valley Art Center, Sept. 16.

Jazz pianist Christina Araoka from the Zack Caplinger Jazz Quartet is the first musician to play on the Diamond Valley Art Center’s donated 1929 Kimball grand piano during their show at the newly expanded stage in Hemet, Sept. 16. She said she was delighted with the classic and rare instrument, even though it needs some refurbishing and new bass strings.

Dining in the Valley

Include cuisine in celebrations of Hispanic culture

Simple vegetarian dishes pack a flavorful punch

TEMECULA – Celebrations of Hispanic heritage can focus on everything from Hispanics contributions in art, science and sport, but no true celebration of Hispanic culture is complete without including cuisine.

Hispanic cuisine is versatile, and chances are foodies from all walks of life can find a Hispanic dish that will please their palates and whet their appetites for even more. The following recipe for “Cantimpalitos or Grilled Mini Chorizos with Potato Puree” from James Campbell Caruso’s “Espana: Exploring the Flavors of Spain” published by Gibbs Smith is simple to prepare and packs a flavorful punch.

Cantimpalitos or Grilled Mini Chorizos with Potato Puree Serves 6

Lentils with spinach.

FALLBROOK – Vegetarian dishes are often loaded with flavor, which might come as a surprise to those who do not adhere to vegetarian diets. In fact, many dishes that originated in India, a country known for its flavorful, spicy cuisine, are vegetarian dishes that are popular the world over, among vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

For those who want to try something simple, flavorful and vegetarian, the following recipe for “Lentils with Spinach” from Monisha Bharadwaj’s “India’s Vegetarian Cooking.” (Kyle Books) checks all the boxes and will no doubt surprise those who feel the most flavorful dishes are those with meat.

Lentils with Spinach Serves 4 3/4 cup yellow lentils (toor dal), washed 3 large handfuls spinach, chopped 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, divided 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 3 dried red chiles 1/4 cup freshly grated coconut 1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate, diluted in 1Ú4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon turmeric Salt, to taste 1 medium onion, sliced 1. Put the lentils and 1 1/2 cups of hot water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are mushy, about 35 minutes.

2. In the meantime, place the spinach in a pot along with a little hot water and heat it for a couple of minutes. Add it to the lentils.

3. In a separate pan, heat half the oil and fry the coriander seeds until they turn dark, then add the chiles and coconut. Reduce the heat and stir for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, let it cool slightly, then tip it into a blender along with the tamarind and a few tablespoons of water and blend until you get a fine paste.

4. Add this to the lentils, along with the turmeric and the salt.

5. Heat the remaining oil in a small saucepan and fry the onions until golden, then add them to the lentils. Reheat thoroughly and serve hot with rice.

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage Salt to taste 36 cantimpalitos or mini chorizos In a large pot of boiling water, boil the potatoes until soft. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic together on medium heat for seven minutes, until the garlic is soft, brown and cooked through. Drain the potatoes and put them in a food processor with the garlic, olive oil, butter, cream, sage and salt. Puree well and set aside; keep hot.

Heat a grill to medium-high heat.

Thread cantimpalitos onto skewers; use six pieces per serving. Grill for four minutes per side. Divide the puree onto six plates and top each serving with a skewer of grilled sausages.

Vegan cuisine that packs People who do not adhere to vegan diets may assume that such diets are void of taste. But vegan foods can be just as flavorful as more traditional alternatives.

Such is the case with the following recipe for “Roasted Baby Parsnips with Sherry-Maple Glaze and Chanterelles” from Tal Ronnen’s “Crossroads: Extraordinary Recipes from the Restaurant That Is Reinventing Vegan Cuisine” (Artisan). When roasted, parsnips produce a sweet flavor, while the chanterelles provide a woodsy taste to prove that vegan foods can indeed be incredibly flavorful.

Roasted Baby Parsnips with Sherry-Maple Glaze and Chanterelles Serves 4 24 baby parsnips, trimmed or 8 regular parsnips, root ends trimmed and peeled 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter stick 1 shallot, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 pound chanterelles, wiped clean, quartered if large Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon To prepare the parsnips, heat the oven to 400 F. If using larger parsnips, peel and quarter them lengthwise so the pieces will be uniform in size and cook more evenly. Put the parsnips

in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread the parsnips out in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time, until tender and slightly charred. Set aside. (The roasted parsnips can be prepared a couple of hours in advance, covered and held at room temperature. Reheat before serving.)

Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.

Combine the maple syrup, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and cook over mediumlow heat, swirling the pan around occasionally, until the mixture is reduced and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm.

To prepare the mushrooms, put a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the butter substitute. When the butter substitute has melted, add the shallot and sauté until soft but not browned, about 1 minute.

Add the garlic, tossing to combine.

Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until they lose their moisture, soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

To serve, crisscross the parsnips on a platter, overlapping them just slightly. Drizzle with the maple glaze and top with the mushrooms.

Scatter chopped parsley on top and season with flaked sea salt.

Pets paraded in their costumes.

Their masters and “Friends of the Valleys” sipped wine and shared stories of their favorite pets all the while showing their support for the valley’s largest animal shelter at the South Coast Winery in Temecula, Saturday, Sept. 23.

The annual Animal Friends of the Valleys “Wines for Canines + Kitties” fundraiser brought more than $32,000 in donations to the animal shelter in Wildomar. The animal rescue site takes in as many as 125 to 150 lost and abandoned cats and dogs each week. The animals come in from cities in southwest Riverside County seven days a week and receive the best care possible until they are claimed or adopted by families.

The AFV “Wines for Canines + Kitties” event brought more than 250 supportive residents to the spacious South Coast Winery who opened their manicured green, flower-surrounded lawns to the shelter, allowing the AFV staff to show off many of the dogs and cats up for adoption. Greeting the guests were dogs dressed up as lions, beauty queens and other costumes all happy for the attention. Some were lucky to find new “forever homes” from caring animal lovers attending the fundraiser.

Tasty red and white Wiens Family Cellars premium wines were offered to guests along the South Coast Winery’s west entrance hallway with cheeses and grapes from the vineyards before dinner in the ballroom. The $100 ballroom dinner offered a specialty South Coast Vineyard salad, chardonnay herbed chicken breast with a caper beurre blanc and herb chip completed with a dark chocolate mousse with graham shell and almond toffee.

While guests visited in the hallway, baskets of pet gifts, wines, dinners and even hot air balloon rides and fishing excursions were offered in a silent auction. Sixty chances were offered for a Wall of Giving grand prize with eight days and seven nights of deluxe accommodations in a choice of Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos, Mexico.

The fun and opportunity didn’t end with the silent auction and dinner. In the ballroom with the ambiance provided by Timmy D Productions, there were performances by “The Voice” Season 12 contestant Anatalia Villaranda and her band. Amy Burkman, artist, muralist, multimedia artist and animal lover, put on an amazing 10-minute speed art exhibition with an acrylic on canvas painting of Shelby, a dog up for adoption at the shelter. It was auctioned off for $1,100 with the proceeds going to the AFV. AFV Director of Development Elizabeth Soltysiak, with her pet dog tucked under her arm, talked about how AFV helps thousands of animals each year, saving them from euthanasia, providing spay and neuter clinics, vaccinations and other animal medical care and, most of all, finding them loving new homes. She called upon the guests to help with the operations of the shelter with their donations, and if they could, to adopt one of the many pets needing new homes at the shelter.

New AFV Executive Director Neil Trent talked about seeing so much animal cruelty across the

world as he traveled. He said he took it upon his heart to do everything he could to prevent that travesty by successfully prosecuting the abusers. In addition to his new duties at AFV, he is now executive director of the Humane Society International and acting director of the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

Animal trainer Farren Mahone with a dog named “Jax” took to the stage to show how he changed from an undisciplined dog to a very friendly and adoptable pet through loving training. She went around to each table with Jax showing guests how happy, friendly and obedient Jax had become with licks and his soft eyes.

It became a friendly bidding war between dinner guests with auctioneer Darren Deiss spurring on the bidding for many wonderful offerings donated by various local sponsors and animal loving patrons.

The top three bids of $3,000 each came from guests looking to travel to South Africa for a photo safari at the Zulu Nyala Wildlife Preserve.

Other bids went for spending a day with a U.S. Navy Seal and making a tandem skydiving jump, a ridealong with a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department K-9 unit, a kids pony party, a Mexican tropical getaway for four days and three nights, a stay at a Lake Arrowhead and four days at Lake Arrowhead.

The top sponsors for the AFV “Wines for Canines + Kitties” were Paradise Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC and Las Brisas OB/GYN. Other sponsors were Abbott Vascular, Baron’s Market, Butterfield Animal Hospital, California Vet Specialist, Carl’s Junior,

Corner Bakery, Country Kennels, Edmunson Construction, Inland Empire Dog Academy, Lucky Chi Pet Rescue, Merck Animal Health, Nelson Realty Group and VCA Animal Hospital.

The Second Annual People’s Choice Blind Tasting and Awards celebration will be held this fall Visit Temecula Valley SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Visit Temecula Valley, in coordination with the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association, announced the second annual People’s Choice Blind Tasting and Awards, taking place Sunday, Nov. 12. This year’s event will be held at the newly renovated Leoness Cellars, whose restaurant was recently named “America’s Best Winery Restaurant” by USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice for the second year in a row.

The blind tasting and awards event will feature a seated, guided tasting seminar for Grand Reserve pass holders led by Master of Wine Roger Bohmrich, who will also speak at the awards dinner.

“This year, by bringing in a Master of Wine and hosting the awards dinner at Leoness Cellars, we are hoping to elevate the People’s Choice Blind Tasting and Awards to one of the premier wine and food events in the region,” Devin Parr, Wine Country marketing director for Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country, said.

The daylong people’s choice event will kick off with a midmorning walk, blind tasting of the wines Temecula Valley wineries believe to be their “best” bottles.

Participants will be asked to submit ratings of each wine, which will be tallied and used exclusively to determine the region’s top three wines overall. Results of the blind tasting will be announced at a wine dinner and awards celebration the same evening, recognizing the winning wines and featuring a five-course tasting menu with local

wine pairings.

Tickets to the event are available in three tiers.

The Estate Pass is $40 and includes entrance to the blind tasting, light appetizers and commemorative wineglass.

The Reserve Pass is $175 and includes entrance to the blind tasting and a seat at the people’s choice awards dinner, including 5-course tasting menu and wine pairings.

The Grand Reserve Pass is $225.

It is the ultimate wine-lovers package, including a Temecula Valley wine seminar and seated, guided blind tasting led by Bohmrich, followed by an intimate winemaker reception including open wine bar and gourmet passed hors d’oeuvres, as well as a seat at the people’s choice awards dinner. Grand Reserve Pass holders will also receive a VIP gift bag and are welcome to attend the walkaround tasting.

“It has been some time since I visited Temecula Valley, and I’m excited to have this chance to return, meet new winemakers and taste new wines,” Bohmrich said.

“Throughout my career, I have traveled the world, uncovering interesting and delicious wines. I hope I can add to the enjoyment of the People’s Choice event by sharing my insights and knowledge with attendees.”

With natural gifts of climate and geography, Temecula Valley is widely recognized for its scenic vineyards, award-winning wines and friendly wineries as Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country. The destination includes the Temecula Valley American Viticulture Area as well as Old Town Temecula and Pechanga Resort &

Contemplating antiques? Here’s how to buy

Antiques also can be a good investment, as they generally retain their value while adding texture, contrast and personality to any room of the house.

TEMECULA – Antique furnishings, decor, coins, and toys remain popular among consumers. Unlike the mass-produced merchandise of today, antiques have history and their endurance through decades, if not centuries, is a testament to the quality craftsmanship and materials used to create these often timeless pieces.

Antiques may be more affordable than many shoppers think.

Savvy shoppers may find midrange “brown furniture,” which constitutes some antique wood pieces, more affordable than reproductions. Homeowners and apartment dwellers who want their rooms to stand apart often rely on antiques to provide a unique ambiance.

Antique shopping also is a “green” endeavor. Antiquing is an eco-friendly practice, putting to

use items that have been recycled and reused.

Antiques also can be a good investment, as they generally retain their value while adding texture, contrast and personality to any room of the house.

Understanding antiques can take time, but even the novice can develop an eye for pieces that strike their fancy. And thanks to the wealth of information about collectibles and antiques available online, shoppers have constant access to information about antiques

at their fingertips. Shoppers may even be able to comparison shop on their mobile phones.

Mid-range antiques can be particularly easy to buy thanks to the available inventory. Novices may want to begin by exploring midrange antiques. As they gain more knowledge and expertise, shoppers who covet antiques can move on to high-end pieces that are more expensive. Some antiques are put in the same category as fine artwork and are considered just as valuable.

Another reason to browse and

shop antiques is to learn about the value of similar items homeowners may already own. For those looking to downsize a collection or simply liquidate an estate, antiquing is a great way to get hands-on experience.

Rummaging through antique stores or markets can be a relaxing experience as well. And many antique enthusiasts find shopping for antiques is like a treasure hunt to find that coveted piece and unearth a bit of history in the process.

Countywide home prices creep up in August RIVERSIDE – The median price of an existing single-family home in Riverside County rose slightly in August, in conjunction with higher home sales, the California Association of Realtors reported.

The median home price countywide in August was $388,500, compared to $385,500 in July, according to CAR. On a year-over-year level, the price was about 9 percent higher; in August 2016, the median price of an existing single-family dwelling was $355,000.

Statewide, the median price last month was $565,330, compared to $549,460 in July – up 3 percent. In

August 2016, the median price was $527,490, a difference of 7.2 percent, according to CAR’s figures.

The median represents the point at which half of homes sell above a price, and the other half below it.

According to CAR’s Unsold Inventory Index for August, the median time a property was on the market in California was 28 days before it sold. In Riverside County, it was 49 days.

From July to August, home sales countywide expanded 6.3 percent, according to CAR. “While August’s strong housing market performance is encouraging, it’s really a tale of two markets,” CAR President Geoff

McIntosh said. “Despite sales growth across all segments of the market, lower-priced homes are particularly inventory-constrained, which leads to weaker sales growth, faster rising prices and fierce competition for the few homes that are listed. These homes are selling faster than historically and for top dollar, adversely impacting entry-level buyers who are already struggling to afford to buy their very first home.”

The average price per square foot for an existing single-family home in California last month was $268 – $2 less than in July and $18 more than a year ago, according to CAR.

Improve the odds of a good first-time home buying experience Mike Mason Special to Valley News

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

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

Follow these seven steps, and you’ll be well on your way to owning your own home.

First, know your credit report.

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

Familiarize yourself with your credit history and make certain that everything is reported thoroughly and accurately. This review should be an ongoing responsibility that you start well before you even think you’re ready to buy a home.

By starting early, you’ll be able to take the time to make any corrections and continue to improve your credit score.

Next, home buying requires teamwork and group of dedicated professionals. Perhaps the two most important team members are the real estate agent you’ll choose and the lender.

Choosing the right professionals is critical. Certainly an inexperienced first-time homebuyer should not have an inexperienced agent helping them through the process.

Look for an individual that is imbedded in the local community where you want to live. He should have professional designations that indicate a pursuit for higher profes-

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

Friends and relatives do not make the best agent. Sure there is a loyalty factor that needs to be considered as commissions are in the thousands of dollars. Some of the worst transactions I have ever witnessed have had emotional attachments of an agent that was too close to the transaction. It’s personal enough for the buyer and seller; your professionals should not be emotionally attached as well.

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

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

A successful real estate transaction requires a lot of behindthe-scenes communication and coordination between the real estate agent and loan officer, so it may be best to consider your real estate agent’s advice and check out one of their lenders of choice. The lender will value the relationship with the agent and go above and beyond to make certain the agent is happy with their performance, so they continue to receive referrals.

When you find a lender on your own, you are a one shot commission and may not receive the same level of service.

Considering the preapproval process is the third step. The actual process of buying your first home does not start with searching for your dream home, unless you have the cash to buy it outright. Experience knows that most first-time homebuyers will require a home loan to complete the transaction.

It’s important to be “preapproved” by a lender before you start house hunting. The worst thing any homebuyer can do is look at the “perfect” home that they believe they can afford only to find out that the bank won’t loan them that

much, for one reason or another.

The difference between a “prequalification” and a “preapproval” is huge. A “preapproval” is the process of the lender gathering all necessary documentation and verifying all aspects of the credit application. This process will allow the homebuyer and real estate agent to focus on homes they know they can afford.

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

Remember, the cost of paying for your new home is not just the principal and interest mortgage payment. There will be property taxes and insurance and maybe even private mortgage insurance as well.

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

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

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

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

Also, inspect everything. When you make the commitment to buy a home, there is typically an inspec-

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

You’ll want to know that the roof is good and that the plumbing and electric systems are all to code and functioning properly. Check the foundation for cracks and leaks.

Mold is a big issue, look for any signs of water damage where mold may be growing behind the walls.

Appliances and fixtures all need to be in working order. There are so many variables with any home. It’s important that you take the time and invest in good inspectors who will give you an unbiased opinion of the condition of the home you

have in escrow.

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

The Legislature considers a few good bills Assemblywoman Marie Waldron Special to Valley News

There are good bills amid the hundreds of bills awaiting the governor’s signature.

Helping local school districts save for special projects or financial emergencies was impacted by a cap that was placed on school reserves in 2014. This year, I supported Senate Bill 751, by Sen. J Hill, D-San Mateo, and Sen. Steve Glazer, DOrinda, in simplifying restrictions

and exempting many districts from the cap.

I joined Assemblymember Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, as co-author of Assembly Bill 1219 to support food deliveries to the needy by clarifying food donor laws to assure restaurants, grocers and individuals that they can donate food in good faith without fear of being sued.

Streamlining California’s business licensing practices is a must, and I was pleased to support Senate Bill 182, introduced by Sen. Steven

Bradford, D-Gardena. The bill simplifies licensing requirements for Lyft, Uber and other drivers who will now be allowed to obtain a single license from the jurisdiction in which they live. This simplification eliminates any requirement to obtain additional licenses to drive passengers across boundary lines into other jurisdictions.

I also supported Assembly Bill 360 to assist our veterans. The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, D-Torrance, requires

the State Bar Association to coordinate pro-bono civil legal assistance for veterans and their families who cannot afford legal services.

My bills, including Assembly Bill 4 to prevent voter fraud by requiring a voter to be notified if records are altered online, and Assembly Bill 1386, raising awareness of the importance of speaking to a genetic counselor for newly diagnosed breast or ovarian cancer patients to help focus treatment options, are also positive bills.

The Legislature reconvenes Jan. 3, and I’m looking forward to another busy, productive year serving you in Sacramento.

Canyon Fire grows to 2,500 acres, only 5 percent contained CORONA – Crews made air drops on a wind-fanned wildfire that broke out Sept. 25, adjacent to the Riverside (91) Freeway on the Riverside-Orange county border and scorched about 2,500 acres, by the end of the day, including several structures and a big rig, drawing firefighters from six agencies.

The Canyon Fire, which was reported to be only 5 percent contained Tuesday morning, broke out about 1 p.m. Monday alongside the eastbound Riverside Freeway, just west of Green River Road in west Corona, and initially spread at a “moderate” rate to Coal Canyon Road off the freeway, said Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi.

The blaze – what sparked it was

not immediately determined – prompted evacuations in Corona in Riverside County.

The fire began spreading at a “rapid rate” around 3 p.m. Monday, fanned by Santa Ana winds blowing at 20 to 25 miles per hour.

By Monday night, it had charred about 2,000 acres and damaged a single family home and a big rig.

By about 7 a.m. Tuesday, the size of the fire was listed at 2,500 acres, with the containment remaining at 5 percent, and the tally of damage including “several structures,’’ the OCFA reported.

One Corona police officer patrolling the fire zone suffered minor injuries when he was struck by a pickup truck in a hit-and-run crash, NBC4 reported. The driver

was later arrested. A second injury later was reported.

Mandatory evacuations were ordered for about 300 homes -affecting about 1,000 residents -- in the Dominguez Ranch area of Corona, Concialdi said. He said he expects most evacuation orders to be lifted soon.

Evacuations were ordered on Dominguez Ranch Road, San Almada Road, San Ponte Road, San Viscaya Circle, San Sebastian Circle, San Ramon Drive, San Alvarado Road, Mt. Elena Circle, Mt. Tesoro, Mt. Palmas and Mt. Cantara Circle, according to the Corona Fire Department.

Evacuations remained in effect overnight Tuesday on the south side of Green River Road, from the 91

Freeway to Trudy Way, it said. An evacuation shelter was set up in the gymnasium at Corona High School.

Battling the blaze were about 300 firefighters from the Anaheim, Corona, and Los Angeles County fire departments, the OCFA, U.S. Forest Service and Cal Fire.

The fire prompted the Corona Norco Unified School District to cancel classes today at four schools – Coronita Elementary School, John Adams Elementary School, Cesar Chavez Academy and Prado View Elementary School – due to active evacuations, road closures and poor air quality, district officials announced on Facebook.

All other district schools were to remain open, including Corona High School, but all schools in

session today may be on inclement weather schedule due to poor air quality, officials said.

Five helicopters with night-vision capabilities and three planes, including a DC-10, were involved in the firefight, Concialdi said, although the big air tanker and some helicopters were grounded as night fell Monday, with shifting Santa Ana winds a cause for concern.

Additionally, crews were setting backfires, hoping to keep the fire from crossing the freeway.

Several lanes on the eastbound Riverside Freeway at Coal Canyon Road were initially closed to make room for firefighting equipment, backing up traffic for miles, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Man to stand trial for allegedly killing girlfriend BANNING – A Hemet man accused of killing his girlfriend and keeping her body in his SUV until he was located by police hours later must stand trial on a murder charge, a judge ruled Monday, Sept. 25.

Vincent James Marples, 34, was arrested in January for allegedly killing 32-year-old Cassandra Taylor, whose remains were located in his Ford Explorer, police reported.

Following a preliminary hearing

at the Banning Justice Center, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Randall White found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial on the first-degree murder count, as well as a special circumstance allegation of inflicting torture in the commission of a murder.

White scheduled a postpreliminary hearing arraignment for Oct. 10. Marples is being held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to Hemet police Lt. Eddie Pust, officers were alerted on the afternoon of Jan. 24 that Marples had called a relative stating that Taylor was dead and that he was with her, without disclosing where.

“The caller was able to provide a vehicle description and a general area that Marples frequents,” Pust said.

A county sheriff’s helicopter crew was requested to assist patrol officers in searching for the

SUV, according to the lieutenant.

Nearly two hours later, the air unit spotted the Ford Explorer on a hillside southeast of the intersection of Gibbel Road and State Street. Officers took the defendant into custody without incident and found Taylor’s body in the back of the vehicle, Pust said.

“Further investigation revealed that an altercation occurred between the two subjects, who were at the location sometime within the past 24 hours,” Pust said. “The

altercation resulted in the death of Taylor.”

Her exact cause of death was not disclosed.

According to court records, Marples has prior misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, driving under the influence and manufacturing an illegal firearm. He also has several other felony cases pending in Riverside County Superior Court for alleged witness intimidation and making terrorist threats.
