Hemet State of the City

Mayor promises city staff will strive to keep ‘Hemet Strong!’ Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“We are Hemet Strong,” declared Hemet Mayor Bonnie Wright during the annual State of the City breakfast at the Lodge at Four Seasons, Thursday, Sept. 22, attended by state, county and city officials and guests. She told those attending there have been many positive changes in the city since the recession left it “at risk” in the public safety area in a requested state auditor’s report. “Hemet is growing. Business is on the move,” Wright said following a video report from the city’s fire and police chiefs and department managers. A key factor in the city’s eco-

nomic improvement and the council’s work toward balancing the budget is the repayment of most of the city’s $5 million in reserves as reported by City Manager Alex Meyerhoff who noted the city’s reserve deficit is now under $300,000. The announcement brought applause from those in the audience. Wright cited almost 30 new businesses and projects this year that are improving the economic development of the city. Among those were Hemet Valley Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility bringing 120 new jobs to the city and the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market bringing another 100 jobs.

County waste dept. to provide free composting workshop Saturday

Want more NEWS? See more stories at

www.myvalleynews.com

SAN JACINTO – The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources will host a free backyard composting workshop in San Jacinto Saturday, Oct. 1. Attend this “how-to” workshop to learn how to recycle organic resources such as yard trimmings, and fruit and vegetable waste into a dark, crumbly, sweet-smelling soil conditioner. Compost can be used to enrich the soil for gardens, lawns and house plants. Instead of putting organic waste into the garbage to be hauled to the landfill, learn to compost. The free “how-to” backyard composting workshop begins at 10 a.m. at the San Jacinto Community Center, 625 S. Pico Avenue. Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It’s a great way to turn waste into a beneficial soil amendment. In composting, organic material is mixed together in a pile or bin, where literally millions of

tiny microbes digest the material and turn it into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Low-cost compost bins, subsidized by the department, also will be available for purchase by Riverside County residents (limit three per household). County residents can purchase compost bins by personal check or Visa/MasterCard (75-cent processing fee applies). The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources provides this free workshop in an effort to divert waste and help preserve valuable space in the county sanitary landfill. For years, the department has trained volunteer master composters who explain how to create compost easily and efficiently from organic wastes. For more information, contact Riverside County Department of Waste Resources at (951) 4863200 or visit www.rcwaste.org/ composting/schedule.

Governor’s veto of SB817 leaves cities holding the bag Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Governor Jerry Brown last week, decided against approving SB817. The bill written by Senator Richard Roth and Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) would have restored Vehicle License Fees in the form of millions of dollars to Riverside County’s four newest cities, Menifee, Wildomar, Jurupa Valley and Eastvale. The bill cruised through the state Legislature, winning unanimous approval in both the house and the Senate, but failed to gain the governor’s signature to become law, instead it was returned to the Senate, signature-less leaving the cities it affects holding the bag once again. In 2015, Brown vetoed SB25, another bill intended to restore the funding to cities formed after Jan. 1, 2004, and before Jan. 1, 2012. The money was taken away from the cities under SB89 as a way to close the state’s massive budget gap in 2011. SB817 would have restored the funding promised to the new cities that every other newly incorporated city had already received. In a letter sent to the California State Senate, Brown referenced last year’s SB107 which gave the cities $24 million in debt relief, as part of the reason. He also blamed long-term budget commitments for his decision to not sign the bill which would have pumped millions of additional property tax revenue into the four cities. “Last year, in recognition of the fiscal challenges these four cities confront, I signed SB107 which provided them approximately $24 million dollars. While I commend Senator Roth’s tireless commitment to assist the cities, this bill requires the state to make additional and long term General Fund spending commitments. As such, this proposal must be considered in light of other budget priorities during upcoming budget deliberations,” Brown wrote in his message to the Senate.

Roth, said he was disappointed to see the effort vetoed, but he remained “encouraged to see the Governor’s recognition of the financial plight of our region’s new cities.” “While helpful, one-time funding has not resolved our cities struggle to provide essential services to residents,” he said. Melendez wasn’t quite as forgiving as Roth appeared to be. “This is the third time Governor Brown has vetoed this bill and stolen the money of Riverside County cities,” Melendez said. “The Democrats continue to reassure Californians we are on solid financial footing, yet the Governor continues to demonstrate otherwise by not returning money these cities are entitled to receive.” According to Melendez, Riverside County was estimated to bring in over $15 million per year under SB817, something that would have provided the county’s newest cities some much needed relief. “These four cities have been struggling to stay afloat and provide vital public services like police and fire ever since the governor decided to rob them of this funding,” said Melendez. “It’s time the governor reevaluated his priorities. His train boondoggle alone is costing us $100 billion and this funding would be less than a tenth of a percent of that. Shame on you, Governor Brown.” Menifee City Manager Rob Johnson said the city is “very disappointed” in Brown’s decision to veto SB 817 and the restoration of Vehicle License Fees to all of the cities affected. “For the third time, he has turned his back on the four newly incorporated cities and chosen, by his own decision, to go against the unanimous vote of the California Legislature,” Johnson said. “Currently, the City of Menifee has a population of 89,004 and each person who owns a car in the City of Menifee and pays annual registration fees – gets nothing in return.”

Johnson pointed out that of the 482 cities in California, only 4 – Menifee, Wildomar, Eastvale and Jurupa Valley – do not receive a proportional share of the funds as paid by its own residents. “Calculated at $50 per capita/ based on population, the City of Menifee has lost another $4,450,200 in revenue for the general fund this fiscal year (2016/17) and over $20 million the past five years, which should be going to support public safety (police, fire), road and street repair, code enforcement activities and general services provided to the residents,” Johnson said. “The City of Menifee is currently operating at a deficit of $2.5 million and is offering the same level of service as it has for the past three years.” Johnson explained that with rising expenses and revenues not growing as fast as expenses, Menifee now must continue to tighten its belt and continue to go without increased levels of services that it needs to protect the health and safety of its residents. “The city will continue its fight to have these funds returned to its operating budget, but must also plan to cut more services in the future to keep pace with the growing demand of its expenditures,” he said. In Wildomar, the reaction was much of the same. Staff, council and residents had sent in many letters urging the Governor to sign SB817, unfortunately that did not happen,” said Wildomar Mayor Bridgette Moore. “However the Governor’s veto message provides much more of an indication to the State departments to get this recurring loss of revenue to our City resolved, once and for all.” Moore said the city will continue to work with the state to find a way to recover the money lost under the veto of SB817. “While upsetting in the short term that our taken revenues have not been replaced, we look forward to working with the State on a solution in 2017,” she said.

Local Old Town Temecula Community Theater to feature tribute bands TEMECULA – The Old Town Temecula Community Theater will host tribute bands celebrating Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, and the Beatles during the month of October. David J. Sherry will present “Diamond is Forever! – The Neil Diamond Experience” Sunday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m.; Rebecca Clark will perform “Hello Gorgeous! – A Live Tribute To Barbra Streisand” Thursday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m.; and “In My Life – A Musical Tribute To The Beatles” will entertain fans Sunday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. Sherry, an international recording artist, and his band offer a refreshingly new approach to live entertainment, combining a contemporary tribute format and a charismatic, personable frontman with an unparalleled audience connection and a personal passion for the music and lyrics of Neil Diamond. While preserving the integrity of Neil Diamond’s lyrics and music, bandleader Sherry flavors the show with his own personable charm and charisma bringing audiences to both laughter and tears. Sherry is known for his personal and passionate delivery of Neil’s songs rather than a mechanically cloned impersonation. It is a winning format that appeals to an audience demographic of all ages. Neil Diamond fans love the dedication to Neil Diamond’s music and lyrics and Sherry’s passionate delivery. It’s a real Neil Diamond Tribute delivered as only a true Neil Diamond fan can. Yet, you don’t have to be a Neil Diamond fan to love this show.

Actress/singer Clark becomes Barbra Streisand in this live one-woman musical delivering all the greatest hits of this legendary singer performed live with no sync or voice track. Through live singing and comedic dialogue, along with playful crowd interaction, Clark captures the character and heart of Streisand, recounting her amazing journey through stage, television and film. Performing songs from Funny Girl, A Star is Born and Yentl, Clark will include many of Streisand’s greatest hits such as Evergreen, The Way We Were, Second Hand Rose, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Memories and many more surprises. This is a fun, highly entertaining family friendly show. The music of the Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – continues to stand the test of time. “In My Life - A Musical Theatre Tribute to the Beatles” will give you a fresh perspective on the band’s history. The show has a narrative element that depicts everything from the famed “Ed Sullivan Show” appearance to the final performance atop the Apple Corps offices. Concert goers will see the Fab Four through the eyes of their late manager, Brian Epstein, who serves as narrator to renowned Beatles tribute band Abbey Road as they perform 33 of the group’s classic hits. The show played to two sold out audiences at Old Town Temecula Theater in 2014. For ticket prices and more information, visit www.temeculatheater.org or call (866) 653-8696.

Lost and found Bonnie Martland SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

When we moved to Temecula in 1979, as I recall, there were about 5,000 people in Temecula. There was one middle school and one elementary school. Few outside the local area knew about our soon to burgeon community. In fact around town could be seen automobiles sporting the bumper stickers exclaiming, “Where the hell is Temecula?” Unfortunately, it took a flooded Murrieta Creek and a tragic auto accident to finally get Temecula noticed on L.A. news stations. Early modern wine makers, like the late Vincenzo Cilurzo and John Moramarco, were among other vintners instrumental in starting Temecula’s modern wine industry. Jimmy Moore, often referred to as the father of Temecula who helped spur the efforts to have Temecula incorporated as a city in 1989 and his wife, Peg, served on the first Temecula City Council. Jimmy died in August. The first time I saw Temecula on a L.A. television station weather map, I thought Temecula had finally hit the big time. The infamous bumper stickers would be retired. I recall sitting at the Swing Inn with Bill Harker, another longtime prominent Temecula citizen who died in 2013, at age 96. He was enjoying his favorite, a toasted cheese sandwich, and looking out the window contemplatively. For years he was used to seeing cowboys and locals from the “rez” enjoying their beer and “camaraderie.” He said, “You know, I knew Temecula was changing when I looked out this window and saw fellows in suits and ties!” None of the valley’s rapid growth could have been possible without the sale of the vast Vail Ranch to Kaiser Development Corporation for an extensive planned residential community in the area. The planned residential community never fully developed as Kaiser envisioned but the growth in population certainly

did. In light of this most modern population explosion in the valley, it may be hard to envision Temecula got some pretty good publicity in the “New York Herald” way back in 1858. The Butterfield Overland Mail route was initiated that year and its route ran right through Temecula on what became the Vail Ranch headquarters property. A young reporter for the Herald, 23-year-old Waterman L. Ormsby, was the only passenger to ride the entire route from St. Louis to San Francisco. Company President John Butterfield himself rode the first section of the journey, his son manning the reins. But Ormsby would go the rest of the way as the sole through passenger on the westbound stage. He wrote eight articles for the Herald on his trip west, sent back at intervals. An observant young man, he wrote about the rugged country and people he encountered and gave a wonderful account of the times and distances traveled between stations. He told of the perils of spending day and night on a lurching, noisy bouncing stage. Seats folded over to provide a place to sleep, but a sore back plagued him as the trip continued. Some drivers were the equivalent of a reckless James Dean as they raced down steep grades and around hairpin turns. Ormsby at one point

resorted to covering his head with a blanket so as not to view his impending doom! After crossing the desert, Ormsby described the area from Warner Springs through Temecula in glowing terms: cattle grazing everywhere, the landscape pleasant, water readily available, roads good and the stations excellent. It took Ormsby and the mail 23 days and 23 hours to reach San Francisco. He declared he would do it again, but he returned to New York by passenger steamer.

Paul Macarro, a Pechanga member who is also on the staff of the Pechanga Cultural Resources Department joined Steven Freers who had long studied native rock art and coauthored “Fading Images, Indian Pictographs of Western Riverside County” gave the presentation showing images and discussing possible meanings for symbols etched and painted in stone. Were they maps, indicators of water sources, documentation of ceremonial rituals, or artistic expressions? The public will hear answers during the presentation.

Hemet voters urged to support Measure U to enhance needed public safety in the city

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Proponents for Measure U, a local one cent sales tax revenue measure that will provide up to $10 million per year to improve much needed public safety and vital city services, are working together to pass the measure, said Howard Rosenthal a community activist and Realtor. The urging came Wednesday morning Sept. 21, during a meeting at the Golden Village Palms RV Resort attended by about 20 people. It was the second Measure U rally meeting held last week. Rosenthal was the only speaker at the meeting calling for those attending to put out signs, call as many people as they can and knock on neighbor’s doors to let

them know they “have to make a change and pass Measure U,” or face even higher crime rates in the city. “Investors and developers are not liking what they see here… I am not a tax person but I was for Measure E.” “Who is going to have a business here now,” he asked. “We want to stay a community don’t we?” Rosenthal said he said he is now for Measure U because it would provide money to hire more police officers, firefighters and other public safety personnel. He quoted a number of statistics showing the national average for the number of police officers per 1,000 people was rated at 1.5. “Hemet is in a perfect storm (for crime),” Rosenthal said. Hemet has only 0.57 to 0.60 police of-

ficers per 1,000 people now after former city councils were forced to cut back the police and fire departments to halt the drain on the required city reserve money. Measure U, Rosenthal said, would bring the total number officers in the city up from the present 57 to 88 bringing the city much closer to the national average police officers per 1,000 ratio. It would also provide additional funding for the Hemet Fire Department, enhance the code and traffic enforcement efforts in the city and bring the city reserves back to what is required. He explained that Measure U is different from the earlier Measure E, that failed by only a few hundred votes, in that it does not strictly earmark the funding for public safety even though the present city council recently passed a resolution calling on all future councils to use the Measure U money only for the police and fire departments. He did not criticize the present council, praising them for what the majority members have done in trying to insure the funding goes to public safety. Measure U is considered a general tax which needs only a simple majority of the city voters to pass,

benefit with Measure U funds and propose adding three battalion chiefs, three engineers and three firefighters in the first year. In year two they would add six fire captains, six public safety dispatchers and a median and intelligence analyst in the second year. In years three and four they would add a fire inspector. It is an ambitious plan but necessary according to the Measure U proponents. Hemet, with its Measure U on the ballot, is not alone in Riverside County as three other cities are also seeking additional sales tax money to bolster their public safety contingents. They include neighboring cities of Menifee, Temecula and Riverside. Rosenthal told those attending they need to pick up information and signage supporting Measure U by calling or coming to his office in the Bank of Hemet Building suite 110 at 1600 E. Florida Ave. in Hemet. They may call 658-2559. “We do not want to be a lazy democracy,” said Rosenthal telling supporters to do all they can to inform voters about the benefits of Measure U before the Nov. 8 election.

but the cities or counties are not allowed to earmark the funds for particular uses. That is why to the city council passed a resolution to have all future councils not to use the Measure U money for any other purpose other than public safety. Rosenthal suggested that to further insure the city keeps to its purpose for improving public safety in using the funds only for the city’s fire and police agencies. “We are going to form a coalition,” Rosenthal said, that would be responsible to make sure the city council and future city councils put the Measure U money where it belongs. He said the coalition needs to find “10 more people,” for the watchdog committee. The Hemet Police Department said they would with the proposed Measure U funding add 16 police officers, two sergeants and one lieutenant in the first year. They would add six police officers and four investigators in the second year and 10 more police officers in the next two years. In the next five years 2021 to 2016 the department would continue to increase crime prevention and suppression activities throughout the city. The Fire Department would

Supervisors approve Soboba Hot Springs resurfacing contract Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

All American Asphalt was the successful bidder for the county of Riverside’s contract to resurface 3,644 feet of roadway in the Soboba Hot Springs area. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0, Aug. 23, to award a $136,943 contract to All American Asphalt, which is based

in Corona. The resurfacing will cover 1,922 feet of San Jose Drive from Chabela Drive to the eastern portion of San Jose Drive, 1,082 feet of Granite View Drive from the western portion of San Jose Drive to the eastern portion of San Jose Drive, 370 feet of Chabela Drive from Soboba Road to San Jose Drive, and 270 feet of Las Palmas Court from San Jose Drive to the southern end of Las Palmas Court.

Those roads have moderate damage including cracks. The damage is generally associated with age and thermal effects, and the resurfacing will provide a smooth roadway. In addition to the resurfacing of the roads the work will replace the asphalt concrete dike, replace pavement markings, provide raised pavement markings, and perform localized concrete curb and gutter work.

On June 7 the county supervisors voted 3-0, with Marion Ashley and John Tavaglione absent, to approve the plans and specifications for the resurfacing project and to approve the advertisement for bids for a contract to perform the work. Six bids were received by the June 29deadline. The All American Asphalt bid of $136,943 was the lowest of those six and is 22 percent below the engineer’s estimate of

$174,800. All American Asphalt was determined to be qualified to perform the work and to have the required bonding and insurance. Gas tax revenue and Highway User Tax Account revenue derived from the sales tax on gasoline will fund the project. The work will be phased so that roads can remain open during construction and is expected to be complete in late fall.

State Sen. Jeff Stone (R-28th District) was in attendance at Hemet Mayor Bonnie Wright’s 2016 State of the City address Sept. 22.

“All of this new investment points to a brighter future for the city,” she said. Wright cited the city’s growing economy will continue to create new employment opportunities in health and wellness in partnership with the Hemet Valley Medical Center, grow in manufacturing, provide new housing opportunities, see that the downtown will prosper and look ahead to the future by partnering in workforce development with Riverside County, Hemet Unified School District and Mt. San Jacinto College. “We will also continue to work with the hospitality and tourism industry to ensure the city is an attractive destination for guest and visitors,” she added. “The Hemet City Council is committed to providing an improved quality of life.” Then she said, “I want to be frank with you. The city is not without our problems. These include crime, blighted areas and homelessness, however we will continue to work to address these issues.” She gave her vision for the city’s future looking to public safety enhancement. “The city strives to provide a safe environment. Quality of life is influenced by the sense of safety perceived by residents, visitors, employees and businesses. She outlined what the city will continue to do including educating the community regarding Measure “U,” a one cent sales tax that will be earmarked for public safety only including fire and police protection, code enforcement, medical transport services, animal control and other items keeping residents safe. She indicated the city would lead and support Regional Task Forces, and reaffirm mutual and auto aid agreements. “The Hemet City Council is committed to responsible financial practices,” she said assuring the city’s fiscal stability and discipline. To this end the city will: continue to serve as a model of accountability and transparency; adhere to the Five Year Financial Management Plan; address unfunded liabilities (OPED, Trusts and PERS); continue to address the State Auditor’s recommendations; and divest nonstrategic real assets.” She said Hemet will commit to a well-maintained physical infrastructure to ensure the city’s property is well managed and implement the City’s 2016 Capital Improvement Plan and continue to develop the economy by helping current businesses grow and expand and attract new businesses. “The city is creating a nurturing business-friendly environment that encourages and supports development in the community.” She promised the city council will provide operational excellence and enhance the image of the city and recognize that volunteering is a part or the culture and fabric of the community and encourage input from it residents and effectively communicate with stakeholders. “It takes time, however through this shared vision, we will move the City of Hemet toward a brighter future,” she reiterated. “We are Hemet Strong!”

‘Operation School Bell’ provides clothes for thousands of students Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

School bells are ringing again as the new school year has started for students throughout the Valley, but for one local nonprofit organization – The Assistance League of Temecula Valley – it is time for their perennial charitable program, Operation School Bell. The program is in its 27th year, providing free clothes-shopping opportunities for thousands of disadvantaged children from low-income households. “It’s not just about putting clothes on their backs,” said Dorcas Shaktman, former President of the Assistance League and longtime volunteer, “We get to help them with their self-esteem – that they are worthwhile enough that someone would be willing to do this for them. It is so rewarding to see the smiles on so many faces, both children and parents alike.” While most families in the area can afford everything their children need and want for back to school, some families struggle just to put food on the table, let alone buy new and stylish clothing or even necessities such as shoes and jackets. “This is such a godsend,” said one single mother of three students, aged 11 to 17, “There’s no way I would have been able to save this kind of money. We are struggling just to get by. We couldn’t afford to buy any new clothes this year.” “I’m so grateful,” said her middle school daughter, “I know my mom is working hard and doing her best, but it’s so hard when other kids laugh at you for what you wear.” She proudly showed off new casual sport shoes to replace her tattered and worn sneakers and a jacket to wear when the weather grows cold. Clothes are important for children to dress like their classmates and have an opportunity to fit in. They help foster a new attitude that contributes to more self-confidence, regular class attendance, participation and higher academic performance. Needy students are referred, screened and invited to participate by local school districts. They are then given an appointment for their shopping place and time. Assistance League volunteers on-site verify eligibility (income, address, etc.) and assist with the shopping process. Students and their families then shop for their clothing (with a limit of $125 per child), many calculat-

ing and budgeting as they go to maximize their use of the funds. For many, it was their first time shopping in a department store. Assistance League volunteers then use pre-purchased gift cards at checkout. Approximately 20 volunteers are needed per dressing event. The Assistance League has partnered with Kohl’s stores in Temecula, Murrieta and Menifee and Lake Elsinore Target for the program; the stores provide special discounts through nonprofit tax savings as well as in-store staff to help with the shopping process. The program was initially started in Burbank, but the Temecula Valley chapter has been participating every year. “The first year we clothed 33,” said Shaktman. The students all received three pairs of pants, socks, shoes, underwear, a backpack, a jacket and a hygiene kit. In succeeding years, in order to avoid being identified as an ‘Operation School Bell kid’ with the same clothing, a change was made to allow the students to select their own clothing by providing a shopping opportunity with a limit. Last year Operation School Bell clothed 2,048 children, going over 2,000 for the first time. This year the Assistance League has budgeted over $265,000 to clothe a projected 2,100 children. “It sounds like a lot of money,” said one volunteer, “but we always have more kids than money.” This year, the Assistance League of Temecula Valley is hosting 15 dressing events during September and October to serve the children of Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Temecula and Menifee. They have tentatively planned for an additional dressing in February for additional students that may have missed the fall dressings. Operation School Bell is funded by The Assistance League Thrift Store, Community Development Block Grant (HUD program) and generous donations from organizations and individuals. John Hine Subaru has been one of the largest donors each year since opening their dealership in the area. “This is such a fantastic event!” exclaimed Bill Brumbaugh, VP/GM of John Hine Temecula Subaru, “I’m so glad that John Hine Temecula Subaru has the opportunity to once again partner with the Assistance League of Temecula Valley and Operation School Bell. To see the excitement and look on

these kids’ faces as they’re able to shop for their own clothes is absolutely priceless.” John Hine dealerships participate in a number of programs designed to give money back to the communities that support their businesses. Temecula Valley Art League donates annually from their Christmas event and the Temecula Women’s Club regularly provides volunteers for the events. When the bell rings for school, the Assistance League has been there to answer the call. To volunteer or donate or for more information on their community programs, please visit www.assistanceleague. org or call (951) 694-8018. or visit the Thrift Shop at 28720 Via Montezuma in Temecula. All donations are used locally.

The midway point of the 2016 high school football season is near and some local teams are beginning to distance themselves from their competition. Murrieta Valley (3-2) continues to dominate the stat categories and have put 235 points on the board in their preseason standoffs, almost 100 more points than their neighbors, Vista Murrieta (4-1). Of course they have also given up the most points out of all the Southwestern League teams at 212, which are 156 more points than the first place Broncos have (56). The two will meet in the first week of league action Friday, Oct. 7. Over in the Sunbelt League the fight for the top continues as Heritage, Paloma Valley, Lakeside and Perris still remain undefeated. Calvary Murrieta (4-1) tops the South Valley League with Rancho Christian (3-1) close behind as they have a game to play this week that could put them in a tie if they win. Linfield (1-2-1) of the Ambassador League has yet to put together a string of wins as they find themselves low in the standings with a week to go before league starts. In the Mountain Pass League, the San Jacinto Tigers (4-0) are the clear front runner with their unblemished record thus far and Hamilton of the Arrowhead League also finds themselves in the same spot with only one win in the preseason. In the 8-man leagues, Cornerstone (1-4) is in the middle of the Free-

lance pack with their even 1-1 league record and California Lutheran (0-4) of the Agape League is still seeking their first win of the season. Scores and stats for some of the other area teams will follow the Game of the Week recap. Game of the Week Great Oak (2-2) – 25 Upland (3-2) – 38 Great Oak didn’t get the first quarter they had hoped for. With the Offense being held to nothing and the defense unable to stop Uplands explosive offense, the Scots led the game 24 – 0 at the end of the first quarter. It was during the second quarter that Great Oak started to shine some light. On the second play of their first drive quarterback McGwire Bustamante connected with leading wide receiver, Joel Collins, for a 2-yard touchdown pass. Cameron Castillo then ran the ball in on a perfectly executed fake field goal. A few drives later the Wolfpack would kick and add 3 points to their score. Upland then answered back with a 40+ yard touchdown pass, bringing the score to 31-11 Upland. During the first offensive play of the second half Great Oak scored on an 80-yard screen pass to Joel Collins (4). After a successful PAT the score was brought to 31-18. Upland then answered back with an 80-yard drive of their own, which ended with a 34-yard touchdown pass. In the next drive Great Oak scored on a wide receiver sweep, again from Joel

Collins (4). The score at the end of the third quarter was 38-25. Unfortunately for the Wolfpack the fourth quarter was left scoreless, but in a game that was thought to be a blowout, the young team from Temecula team has shown immense potential. Offensively McGwire Bustamante (10) threw for two touchdown passes and Joel Collins (4) scored 3 times, twice through the air and once on the ground. Defensively Chandler Davis (55) recorded 5 tackles, CJ Barney caught 1 interception and Cole Condon had an interception and had a fumble recovery.

In mid-August at the prestigious West Coast Futbol Classic the Temecula Valley Hawks Soccer Club won not one, but two championship titles. The Hawks girls’ 1998 Academy team continued their successful preseason by prevailing as champions in a very tough first flight in the tournament. Coached by Hawks DOC, David Halliday, the

team is ranked as one of the top 100 teams in the country and top 15 in California. In pool play they had 2 wins and 1 tie to come out victorious in their group. The semi final game was a 2-1 win and in the finals the team won 2-0 claiming a very coveted title during tournament season. Hawks player and UC Irvine commit, Ashley Johnson, was awarded MVP by the referees and given the game coin. On the boys side the Hawks boys

2001 Academy team dominated Flight Two all the way through the finals. In group play they outscored their opponents 17-1 and also dominated the final versus a top Northern California team, winning 4-1. Hawks coaches Colby Stromberg and Brandon Weisman handled the coaching duties while Head Coach Pete Gregory handled some other tournament schedule conflicts. While these teams were playing in Orange County the Hawks also

had teams playing in the San Diego Premier Classic where 3 champions emerged from the tournament. The Boys 2002 Black and Boys 2001 Black, both coached by Pete Gregory and assisted by Dru Ream, and the Boys 2000 Black which is coached by Colby Stromberg all walked away as champions. Despite not losing a game at West Coast, the Boys 2002 Academy team did not get out of group play. Coached by Ryan Halliday, the team had a very big win, 3-2 versus

Temecula’s Kirstie Ennis makes racing debut

Marine Corp Veteran, Kirstie Ennis, drove the No. 22 car in her first ever Demo Cross race Sept. 3 at Perris Auto Speedway.

Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Kirstie Ennis made her racing debut Sept. 3 in the Demo Cross race at Perris Auto Speedway. “It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done,” Ennis said. “There’s definitely nothing like it.” Ennis currently lives in Temecula and is originally from Florida. The United States Marine Corps brought Ennis to California; she

was stationed at Marine Corps Air Center Miramar and was also based in Hawaii. She was deployed to Afghanistan, where she lost her left leg. Ennis, who had become a sergeant, was medically retired after her six years of the Marine Corps. Ennis was treated at the Veterans Affairs hospital and at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, but she prefers to live in a smaller town rather than in a large city and has lived in Temecula for

Temecula Valley Elks to host 18th Annual Charity Golf tournament TEMECULA – The Temecula Valley Elks #2801 Club will hold its 18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament Friday, Oct. 28, at the Legends Golf Club at Temeku Hills. The proceeds from the tournament will benefit state and local charities. Some of the funds will go to our local Scholarship program; Middle School Student of the Year Program; Hoop Shoot Competition; Americanism Contest; Drug Awareness Contests; Veterans Program; Dictionary Program and various other youth programs.

The golf fees include a continental breakfast; awards banquet, lunch, auctions and raffles. The Charity Golf Tournament format will be a best ball “Texas” scramble. There will be men’s and women’s prizes for the Hole-inOne, “Longest Drive,” “Closestto-the-Pin” and a Putting Contest. Registration begins at 7 a.m. with a “shot gun” start at 8:30 a.m. Contact Jim Beall at (951) 303-4616, or Lee Bergstrom at (928) 308-8803 for additional information and for a registration form.

approximately a year. Warfighter Made, which is based in Temecula, provides recreational therapy to wounded military veterans. The activities include customizing cars, trucks, motorcycles and off-road vehicles so that veterans with disabilities can participate in motorized recreational activity. Warfighter Made founder and President Robert Blanton has teamed up with Wildomar resident Adam

Fitza, who owns Dynamic OffRoad and Axis Rod Ends, to allow wounded veterans to enjoy off-road vehicles. Blanton and Fitza served as Ennis’ pit crew Sept. 3. A retired Marine who served in the Vietnam War donated a 2004 Volvo V70 station wagon to Warfighter Made. The Volvo has an automatic transmission, so Ennis can drive it with her prosthetic left leg. The car also has front wheel drive.

The Volvo also had an inoperable cylinder the entire night of Sept. 3. Ennis began her racing in the night’s second Demo Cross heat race. She started on the outside of the fifth row and finished the six-lap heat race last among the 12 cars. Ennis was one of 27 drivers in the 20-lap main event. She began on the outside of the 12th row. In turn four of the second lap she hit a sideways Scott MacPhail. Ennis was able to get by MacPhail’s car and the Volvo appeared to sustain minimal damage. MacPhail’s vehicle was unable to continue. “I don’t want to break anyone’s car,” Ennis said. Ennis understood that cars will become casualties during Night of Destruction races. “I realized that’s what we’re here for,” she said. A car in front of Ennis became sideways on turn one during the 11th lap, and Ennis was unable to avoid hitting that obstacle. The Volvo engine was able to turn over after the crash, but Ennis could not move the vehicle. “I was history,” she said. Ennis plans to drive at Perris in the future. “I’m coming back again,” she said.

TEMECULA – The 18th annual Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure will take place Sunday, Oct. 16, at Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium and Levee. Each year, funds raised for this event provide the support necessary to fund breast cancer education in the community, as well as screening and treatment initiatives throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Up to 75 percent of net funds raised stay here in Riverside and San Bernardino counties to support education,

funds and walk to fight a disease that has affected us all. To date, Pechanga has contributed nearly $500,000 to Susan G. Komen Inland Empire. In 2015, Team Pechanga was the largest fundraising team, with more than 300 participants. This year, they are striving to raise more than ever before. The 3rd annual Rockin’ for the Cure concert will support their fundraising efforts. Organized by the information technology department, the concert will be held

Saturday, Oct. 15, at Pechanga Theater. This year’s concert will feature rock ‘n’ roll cover bands, The Iron Maidens, Femme Halen, Streetwize, Negative Void and Smashing Alice.

Temecula Valley Hospital achieves STEMI and stroke receiving center designations in San Diego County quality care for the patient,” said Darlene Wetton, CEO of Temecula Valley Hospital. “Stroke and STEMI cases are urgent matters and our specialized teams are able to provide prompt care in a patientcentered environment.” The designation allows for stroke and STEMI heart attack patients in San Diego County to be transported by emergency medical services to Temecula Valley Hospital if the facility is the nearest medical center or if it is the patient’s preferred hospital.

TEMECULA –Temecula Valley Hospital has been approved by San Diego County as a STEMI (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) Receiving Center and Stroke Receiving Center. The hospital is already a designated receiving center for Riverside County and the latest designation means that Temecula Valley Hospital can provide care for stroke and STEMI patients in both counties. “We are pleased to have earned this designation as it will allow us to provide the safest and highest

“Since time is of the essence in the diagnosis and treatment of these stroke and heart attack patients, access to the closest qualified hospital in an emergency situation will result in the best outcome to the patient,” said neurologist Dr. Monika Gupta. Before the designation, stroke and STEMI patients in San Diego County were transported to hospitals within county lines. “It is important that the STEMI patients end up at the right facility in as little time as possible,” said cardiologist Dr. Andrew Ho. “The

earlier that we see them, the better their chance will be at surviving the heart attack.” To receive Stroke and STEMI Receiving Center designations, Temecula Valley Hospital had to meet or exceed national standards for providing care and demonstrating better patient outcomes. “It’s a very stringent process that involves putting together specialized teams, training staff and collecting performance data,” said cardiac program coordinator Katie Baca. “However, all of the efforts are worth it if it

means that we are able to provide better care for our patients.” Temecula Valley Hospital is located at 31700 Temecula Parkway, and brings advanced technology, innovative programs, patientcentered and family sensitive care to area residents. The hospital features 140 private patient rooms, 24 hour a day emergency care, advanced cardiac and stroke care, orthopedics and general medical care and surgical specialties.

associated with greater increases in relative brand-name prescribing rates. And receipt of costlier meals was associated with increased target drug prescribing for three of the four drugs studied. These findings were based on flawed methodology. The study examined physician prescribing over the entire year of 2013 but only looked at meals provided in the last five months of 2013. As the authors conceded, “The findings reflect an association and not necessarily causality.” Indeed, it is hard to fathom how lunch in October could have persuaded a physician to prescribe a particular drug the previous February. The overwhelming majority of the studied physicians did not receive any industry-sponsored meals promoting the studied drugs. Among those that did, nearly all had a single meal. The notion that

A recent study in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine shows that drug companies are bribing doctors with food to prescribe their expensive, brand-name medicines. At least that’s the way it’s been reported in the media. Dig deeper into the study, however, and it becomes clear that doctors aren’t selling out for sandwiches. There’s no proof that industry-sponsored meals drive prescribing behavior. In fact, the relationships between pharmaceutical sales representatives and physicians may actually benefit patients. The study reported that physicians who received even one industry-sponsored meal were more likely to prescribe the brand-name medicine that was being promoted. Receipt of additional meals was

the pharmaceutical industry is buying off physicians en masse is hyperbole. So are reports of industry largesse. The average values of the sponsored meals for the 4 study drugs ranged from $12-$18 -hardly lunch at the Four Seasons. When the authors arbitrarily set the threshold for expensive meals at $20 they presumably found costlier meals were associated with increased prescribing. But this claim was based on “predicted probabilities” for selected physicians who are most likely to prescribe rather than actual probabilities for all physicians. And close examination of the study graphs only showed significant differences in prescribing based on meal cost for 1 of the 4 drugs, not 3 out of 4 as claimed by the authors. This new study is not the first to connect drug industry gifts and physician prescribing behavior - an editorial accompanying the study cited 2 recent publications. But the link was as tenuous in those studies as in this new one. The first was a 2011 Massachu-

name prescribers.” Physicians who eschew interactions with pharmaceutical representatives could be under-prescribing brand-name drugs and harming their patients. Industry-sponsored meals are merely an entry point for drug representatives to present product information to physicians. If that presentation is truthful there is no harm. The new study’s authors admitted, “If events where industry-sponsored meals are provided affect prescribing by informing physicians about new evidence and clinical guidelines, then the receipt of sponsored meals may benefit patient care.” There are many reasons brandname drugs are prescribed. Wellfed physicians are not among them. Joel Zinberg, M.D., is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

My husband is on Medicare and the ‘Medical Group’ he was with was stringing him along for over a year concerning his health issues. Egregious things kept happening and we were more than frustrated. I suggested we talk to Charise about what we were experiencing. I thought perhaps she would know what we should do. When my husband shared what was going on with Charise she took the matter seriously and moved into action; she even made phone calls to his current medical group to see if we could get some satisfaction. After getting nowhere herself she checked out the groups rating. She discovered their customer care rating was so bad they were in danger of losing their insurance companies that subscribe patients to them. She promptly found my husband a new group with excellent ratings. Come this last January 2016 for the first time someone took my husband’s cardiac Arrhythmia and other issues seriously. He was sent to an excellent Cardiologist who promptly sent him to a Superb Electrophysiologist who found what the problem was. Surgery was scheduled and using an ablation technique, the Electrophysiologist was able to fix his arrhythmia. My husband is doing much better and I believe her caring ways helped to save his quality and quantity of life.

setts study which found a positive association between industry payments and higher rates of prescribing brand-name statins. But it was only significant for physicians who received at least $2,000 from industry and the effect was minuscule – for every $1,000 in payments received, the brand-name statin prescribing rate increased 0.1 percent. In the second study, ProPublica looked at 2014 contemporaneous payment and prescribing data and found that physicians who received any kind of industry payment, even just meals, had higher rates of brand-name prescribing. But the study didn’t link payments for specific drugs to increased prescriptions for those drugs. Nor did the study link payments by particular companies to increased prescriptions of those companies’ drugs. As ProPublica’s authors acknowledged, “We have not established… a causal link. …There is certainly a plausible reverse causation here -- that drug companies give money to physicians who already are heavy brand-

friendships appeared to increase life expectancy by as much as 22 percent. So why is it harder for men to undertake something as seemingly pleasant, and apparently health promoting, as making good friends? Experts cite a number of reasons. One is that men traditionally tend to be more caught up in their careers. Today they may also want to be more involved with their children than their own fathers were. The result can be little time left to develop close friendships with peers. And as men get older and leave the work force, they also tend to leave behind most of the work friendships they have enjoyed. Another problem is that men seem to have been taught, whether consciously or otherwise, that talking about personal matters with other men simply isn’t “manly.” In our society, women are more at ease drawing other women out, talking about feelings and emotions, and sharing their inner lives. Men tend to avoid the personal and instead base friendships on common interests such as sports or work. The bottom line is that men certainly can develop good and strong friendships, but it may take a bit

more effort as well as overcoming some of the traditional barriers. One starting point, especially for older men, is to get into situations where they can meet other men and where the atmosphere is right for making conversation and sharing experiences. It might mean participating at a senior center, taking courses at a local college, or volunteering with a local charity. Book clubs, walking groups, exercise classes - all are places where men can meet other men like themselves. It then also means being willing to open up and share one’s feelings and emotions. A man may have to make a real effort, at least at first, to share what he’s feeling or concerned about, but when he does so that’s when he’s building the foundation for a real friendship. Put in a little effort and sharing and you’ll create friendships that will enrich your life, and maybe even prolong it. Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Education

San Jacinto Unified School District’s WorkAbility I Program celebrates 5th year of working with special needs students SAN JACINTO – The San Jacinto Unified School District is excited to be starting the fifth year of its WorkAbility I program this fall, which introduces students with special needs into competitive integrated employment opportunities within the community. The mission of WAI is to promote the involvement of students, families, educators, employers and other agencies in planning and implementing an array of services that will lead up to successful student transition into employment, lifelong learning and quality of life. WorkAbility I was initiated in November 1981, by the California Department of Education to test the concept of work experience for youth with disabilities. It has been a successful program ever since in providing comprehensive pre-employment skills training, employment placement for high school students in special education who are making the transition from school to work, independent living and postsecondary education or training. The services provided are tailored to individual student

needs, abilities and interests. “The WorkAbility I program is the largest grant program in the State of California,” said Robynn Gualtiere, SJUSD’s program coordinator. She also noted that SJUSD now receives $90,000 in grant funds available for training activities and subsidized wages with employers. Under the direction of the special education department, Gualtiere started the program with the district and not only has a position on the State Advisory Board, but is also the chairman for the Family Transition Network that supports each of the state’s WorkAbility I regions. To date, the district’s WorkAbility I program has provided service to 798 students by way of workshops and one-on-one meetings. They have placed 139 students with disabilities in paid employment, both subsidized by grant funds and direct hire by employers, within over 30 community businesses. “We need more businesses to partner with,” said Anne-Marie Foley, director of special education at SJUSD. “We are very

appreciative of our community partnerships with The Camelot – Holiday Retirement community and Walgreens, just to name a few that participate with direct hire or subsidized employment for our students,” continued Foley, “and we look forward to inviting more local employers into this program to help our students realize their dreams of the future.” Gualtiere couldn’t be more proud of the success the district has had over the past four years. “The program gives our students an opportunity to be successful outside of the high school and gives them access to careers and allows the community to see what a positive contribution they can make,” said Gualtiere. For more information about the WorkAbility I program at SJUSD, or to be a partnering employer, contact Robynn Gualtiere at (951) 929-7700 x2604 or rgualtiere@ sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

Hemet schools receive recognition from California Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Coalition

Mt. San Jacinto College Board Approves $224 million budget

HEMET –Hemet Unified School District was one of nine school districts in the state to receive the U.S. Department of Education’s 2014 School Climate Transformation Grant. The funds were used to support and create multi-tiered behavioral programs for students. With some of these funds, HUSD staff members began implementing Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports into 11 of its schools last year. These 11 Hemet schools were recognized by the California PBIS Coalition. All 11 schools that participated in the PBIS implementation were given a Bronze Level Recognition. In addition, Cawston Elementary, Fruitvale Elementary, Valle Vista Elementary, Hamilton High, Dartmouth Middle, Rancho Viejo Middle, and Alessandro High also received a Silver Level Recognition for their additional efforts in implementing the new framework. Dartmouth middle school principal, Jennifer Martin said her site

SAN JACINTO – The Mt. San Jacinto College Board of Trustees adopted the 2016-2017 budget during its regular meeting on Sept. 8. The Board of Trustees adopted the $83.5 million General Fund budget for 2016-17, which pays for operations, materials, supplies, salaries and benefits, among other things. The total $224.2 million budget for the college includes funds that are restricted for use in specific areas. The largest district budget to date, the increase is due to the passage of Measure AA, increased state funding and student population growth. With an 11 percent growth rate, MSJC ranked as the

will be striving for the Gold Level Recognition next year. “We want to support student behavior like we support academics; set clear expectations for our students and provide the tools and resources necessary for them to succeed academically and socially,” said Martin. Ongoing training and collaboration throughout the school year allowed school sites to successfully implement PBIS. Director of student support services Tracy Piper, Aimee Clark, Lynn Nord, and Valerie Velez in collaboration with California Teacher Advisory Council and Dr. Robert Horner of the University of Oregon provided ongoing training to the school site representatives during the implementation process. Throughout the school year, school representatives attended trainings, school site visits, and discussed processes that worked at their school site. The remaining schools in HUSD will begin implementing PBIS this school year.

Staff members are excited to have this program which sets clear expectations for students; they are consistently reminded of school and behavioral expectations each and every day. Students are also taught how to behave during classroom activities, passing periods, recess and lunch, and other times throughout the school day. Providing clear and concise expectations allows students to know what is and is not acceptable. For students who are not following the rules, another layer of support will be provided to help them get back on track and into their classrooms. PBIS creators agree that the more time a student spends away from their classroom; the more challenges they face. If a student is asked to leave a class, they miss out on a lesson and begin to fall behind. One of the goals of PBIS is to keep students in the classroom where they can learn.

Talbert graduates Cadet Leaders Course PITTSBURGH, PA. – Eli Talbert, an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at the University of Pittsburgh, has graduated from the Cadet Leaders Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The course is a 30-day summer training event focused on training cadets to solve complex leadership issues and problems at the company level. Cadets arrive at CLC with a baseline of military skill sets, in

addition to the critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities they developed during their academic years. CLC builds upon the work accomplished on campus and develops the cadets’ abilities to lead small units in tactical environments. The leadership experience supports continued cadet development during the senior year of the program. Cadets usually attend CLC

between their junior and senior years of college, and they must complete the course to qualify for commissioning. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve. He is a 2013 graduate of Murrieta Valley High School in Murrieta.

School resource officer reaches out to students in an effort to be proactive HEMET – Staff at Hemet Unified School District are dedicated to providing every tool and resource necessary to ensure the success of students. Rancho Viejo Middle School staff added another resource to help support the students this year by allowing the School Resource Officer to present to sixth-grade students. On Monday, Aug. 22, Officer Dombrowski talked about his journey in becoming a police officer, what he specializes in, and what they can expect from him. Rancho Viejo Middle School Principal Jonathon Workman said he wants students to see Dombrowski as a resource, not just an enforcer, on campus. Dombrowski said he

would like to help students during challenging times and encouraged the students to reach out to him. Dombrowski also discussed the dangers of alcohol. He explained what happens to people’s bodies and minds, and the poor choices people make when they are intoxicated. He told students that drinking can cause serious damage to their brains, because they are not fully developed yet. He encouraged students to think about the consequences of drinking if they are tempted in this situation. He expressed how hard it is to inform an individual of a loved one’s passing. After the presentation, Dombrowski spoke about expectations

he has for all students. He said being honest and communicating with himself and staff members is always the best option. He wants to be a mentor for students at the middle school and to help them choose a successful path. Student response to his message has been positive; many students reaching out to Dombrowski asking him questions about his presentation or giving him a high-five as they pass him on campus. Principal Workman is thankful for the dedication Dombrowski has shown to the students on campus. “His ability to build a positive rapport with students in the school setting will only benefit our community in the future,” he said.

Once again governor vetoes bill to restore Vehicle License Funding to cities Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

I am hopping mad as I write my opinion piece for the week. Rewind to roughly a year ago when I was sitting at this same desk, writing an opinion piece on the same issue, only with different numbers. In 2015 Governor Jerry Brown vetoed Senate Bill 25. The bill to restore Vehicle License Fees to the state’s four newest cities, including Menifee and Wildomar, was written by Sen. Richard Roth (D-Riverside) and co-authored by Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore). The much needed bill cruised through the state Legislature, winning uncontested approval in both the house and the Senate, yet was still vetoed by the governor. Well, our governor is at it again folks. Just last week, he chose to veto SB817, a bill introduced this year to restore that same funding to

the same cities. Sadly, the outcome for this legislation was the same. I’ll say the same thing this year that I said a year ago, “Governor Jerry Brown’s veto of SB817 shows just how out of touch he is with Southern California.” In a letter sent to members of the California State Senate, dated Sept. 23, the same day he vetoed the bill, Brown attempted to justify his action by saying that he gave the cities money last year. “Last year, in recognition of the fiscal challenges these four cities confront, I signed SB 107 which provided them approximately $24 million dollars,” he wrote. “While I commend Senator Roth’s tireless commitment to assist the cities, this bill requires the state to make additional and long term General Fund spending commitments. As such, this proposal must be considered in light of other budget priorities during upcoming budget deliberations.”

Seriously Governor Brown??? It’s just about the same thing you said last year, and guess what? It doesn’t make much of a difference for our local cities who have been struggling to balance their budget since you first stole that money from them back in 2011. Last year, Senator Jeff Stone (RTemecula) alluded to the fact that he thinks that Governor Brown has some vendetta against Riverside County. Brown’s actions in the past – constantly shooting down bills designed to help the people of our fine county – indicate that may be true. However, I believe that this move shows how badly the governor needs to get back in touch with the needs of those of us in Southern California and the Inland Empire as a whole. By going back on his promises to give new cities Vehicle License Fee funding, the governor’s actions set the four newest cities in the state

up for failure. SHAME ON YOU, Governor Brown! Here is some food for thought; In May 2015, Governor Brown seemed to think it appropriate to appoint a panel that approved a 3 percent pay raise for him as well as state legislatures and many other officials. In the past two years, pay for those at the state level was increased by a total of 7.3 percent, but yet, he refused to sign SB 25 into law, and now SB817, giving the cities the money they are owed in vehicle licensing funds, because the state can’t afford it. You have got to be kidding me! The way I see it, state leaders have failed to deal with many things that concern our citizens in the proper manner – including the drought, crumbling roadways and other lack of infrastructure. Shouldn’t salary raises be based on merit? Because if that is the case, none of those raises over the past two years were deserved by those

who happily deposit that money in their bank accounts. Meanwhile, cities like Menifee and Wildomar are understaffed with police officers and are badly in need of money to repair roadways and to build infrastructure – all because the state can’t afford it since they have to pay for their raises, and numerous other things that don’t benefit the I.E. in any way. The actions of our governor further reinforce my belief that the only person he really cares about is himself. I’m still in shock that he was re-elected the last election cycle and will tell you one thing for certain, guys like this, in my opinion, have no business being in public office. Maybe Governor Brown should try leaving Sacramento for a day and head on down to one of these struggling cities and see for himself the problems his action last week are causing in the real world.

Arts districts are enriching lives, creating jobs Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Arts and cultural districts have spurred new businesses, attracted more tourism and established vibrant, creative cultural economies across the nation. Now California will have the opportunity to cel-

ebrate our communities and the arts by clustering existing arts and cultural amenities in officially designated cultural districts. As a result of Assembly Bill 189 (AB189), new legislation I co-authored earlier this session, the California Arts Council will be encouraged to designate cultural

districts throughout the state. These districts can have a major economic impact on their communities and on a state’s overall economy. For example, a 2014 report from Maryland indicated that the state’s 20 Arts and Entertainment Districts supported approximately 5,144 jobs and generated more than $458

million, along with $149.2 million in output and wages during fiscal year 2013. As a city council member, I was a strong supporter of our redevelopment area and our vibrant historic downtown. The benefits of forming a cultural arts district include streamlined processing for

infrastructure improvements, arts oriented development and zoning including artists’ lofts, galleries, etc. and the ability to apply for grants and other designations as a cultural entity. Studies have shown millions of dollars are generated through arts districts to communities by way of increased sales tax, expanded job growth through ancillary products and services that support the arts and tourism. California’s Arts Council is now developing our first official statewide cultural program. Since every community is unique, the character of our state should be reflected in the cultural districts we establish. It is my hope that communities in North San Diego and Southwest Riverside counties will take advantage of this opportunity to generate enthusiasm among arts organizations, civic leaders, public institutions, the business sector and citizens to enhance our region by establishing dynamic and economically viable cultural arts districts.

Blotter

Woman allegedly holds baby, grandmother at knifepoint after pursuit MORENO VALLEY – A Moreno Valley woman was arrested Saturday, Sept. 24, after allegedly injuring an officer, leading authorities on a pursuit and then holding her grandmother and baby at knifepoint. The pursuit began at 12:30 a.m. when Riverside County Sheriff deputies responded to reports of a woman threatening people with

a sharp “metal spear” near the intersection of Tyler Street and Magnolia Avenue. The suspect, Brianna Ashton Duru, 26, then allegedly carjacked a white Riverside Transit Agency truck. As she drove off, she injured an officer who was caught between the truck and his patrol car, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The officer

suffered moderate injuries and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released. Duru then headed eastbound on the 91 Freeway east of Adams Street reportedly carrying a knife, according to the California Highway Patrol. After she headed south on Interstate 215, the CHP took over the pursuit.

The suspect exited the freeway at Perris Boulevard and turned into an apartment complex near Fir Avenue, where she struck a gate. Duru then fled her car and went into an apartment unit, where she held her grandmother and baby hostage with a knife, CHP Officer Dan Olivas said. A hostage negotiator spoke with Duru for three and a half hours,

after which she let the grandmother go. Eventually, she put down the knife and officers took her into custody. No injuries were reported. Duru is being held on suspicion of vehicle theft, evading, assault with a deadly weapon, carjacking and other charges in lieu of $100,000 bail. The Riverside Police Department is handling the investigation.

Alcohol intoxication suspected in fatal motorcycle crash Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

MENIFEE – A motorcyclist died Friday, Sept. 23 in an early morning solo-vehicle motorcycle accident when he crashed his customized Harley Davidson on Newport Road just west of Haun Road in Menifee. The victim was later identified by coroner’s officials as Casey Ivey, 41, of Winchester. The coroner’s release indicated Ivey’s time of injury was 12:55 a.m. He died nearly three hours later at 3:35 a.m. at Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar. The coroner’s release stated Ivey was killed on eastbound Newport

Road, about 540 feet west of Haun Road. Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Menifee Police Station and other emergency first responders were dispatched to the location at 12:56 a.m. after receiving 911 reports of the single vehicle motorcycle traffic collision. Upon arrival deputies, firefighters, and paramedics located a wrecked motorcycle and Ivey down on the ground in the center median of the roadway. Paramedics treated Ivey, who was the sole occupant of the motorcycle at the scene before they transported him to Inland Valley Medical Center for further treatment.

He later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by hospital staff at 3:35 a.m. The Menifee Traffic Reconstruction Unit responded to the location to conduct an investigation into the fatal accident. Eastbound Newport Road between Sherman Road and Haun Road was closed for several hours while deputies conducted their investigation. Their preliminary investigation showed Ivey was riding his customized Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on Newport when he crashed into the raised center island. After hitting the center median Ivey lost control of his motorcycle,

causing him to suffer his fatal injuries. “Alcohol does appear to be a factor in this collision,” according to Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Edmondson. “This investigation is ongoing,” Edmondson wrote in a press release about the deadly accident. Anyone with information on this investigation is encouraged to call Deputy Grimm at the Perris Sheriff’s Station at (951) 210-1000. Callers can refer to incident file number ME162670003 and can remain anonymous. Citizens may also submit a tip using the Sheriff’s CrimeTips online form.

Woman who stabbed partygoer sentenced MURRIETA – A felon who stabbed an acquaintance during a Temecula birthday party was sentenced last week to five years in state prison. Stephanie Nicole Federico, 26, of Murrieta pleaded guilty in August to assault with a deadly weapon resulting in great bodily injury. She was sentenced Thursday, Sept. 22. In exchange for her admission, the Riverside County District At-

torney’s Office dropped attempted murder and making criminal threats charges against Federico. Superior Court Judge Kelly Hansen certified the terms of the plea agreement and imposed the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense. According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jon Wade, on the night of Jan. 30, 2014, Federico crashed a birthday party at a restaurant in the 41500 block of Margarita Road.

The victim, identified in court documents only as a 28-year-old woman, was gathered there with friends, and Federico confronted her, Wade said. Federico was incensed over a prior encounter with the woman, though Wade did not specify the circumstances. The victim was stabbed several times, but none of the wounds were life-threatening, according to sheriff’s investigators.

By the time deputies arrived, Federico had fled. A description of her was radioed to other deputies in the area, and a patrol unit spotted Federico running away, Wade said. A deputy quickly apprehended her without incident. According to court records, Federico has a prior conviction for illegal possession of an incendiary device.

Thousands travel to Murrieta for top west coast Irish music festival

An estimated 8,000 Celtic music lovers traveled from up and down the West Coast, the East Coast, Alaska, Canada and even Germany for a twoday festival experience in Murrieta’s Town Square Park that is the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi. The increased total was even more impressive since the festival was held on two days this year instead of the three days in previous years. The fourth year of the single-stage party in the park featured 15 bands in two days, from Celtic punk to Irish rock as well as traditional Irish bagpipes and drums. The bands filled the air with creative new punk and rock beats as well as lively drinking songs and sea shanties, lyrical ballads, furiously-strummed instrumentals, traditional Irish and Scottish tunes, and numerous sing-along melodies. The lawn area was filled with colorful umbrellas and shelters. Traditional kilts, hats and costumes, as well as Get Shamrocked T-shirts,

could be seen on many throughout the crowd as the aroma of Guinness beer and Jameson whiskey and delectable food truck fare wafted through the air. The open area in front of the stage was often filled with dancers and photographers. Rugby players and hurlers utilized the open lawn demonstrating some of the skills of their sports. “This is awesome,” exclaimed first-time festivalgoer Miriam Muller from Los Angeles. “My friends in San Diego told me about it and after hearing the band line-up, I had to go.” Muller is a big fan of Irish punk band The Tossers who played on Friday night and Gaelic Storm who appeared in the blockbuster film, “Titanic.” Gaelic Storm has topped the Billboard World Chart five times. The Friday night line-up included Quel Bordel, Brisk Top Blaggers, Black Irish Texas, The Tossers, Flatfoot 56 and The Mahones. “This type of festival really brings a broad spectrum of audience types together,” said Seth Hansen, violinist for Brick Top Blaggers.

member band is from Glendale and Yucaipa but has been traveling the state since 2009. “We have played here for three years now,” said Hansen, “and we know Graham and Paul and play at their place Shamrock Pub. It is awesome to watch this grow into the large event it is today, one of the biggest in the west. Seeing all these other bands, it’s like a large family reunion!” Many of the bands stayed throughout the weekend to hear and support the other bands. Saturday’s band line-up included The American Wake, Midnight Satellites, Whiskey Sunday, The McKintree Boys, Hoist the Colors, The Angry Brians, Young Dubliners, Gaelic Storm and The Fighting Jamesons. Muller was also excited about the surprise appearance of renowned Local 935 Pipes and Drums, a group of San Bernardino County professional firefighters who play the great highland bagpipes and drums. The group performs at numerous events, festivals and pays tribute to their

fallen brethren in the fashions of old. They were a crowd favorite. Guinness Beer and Jameson Irish Whiskey were once again major sponsors and their tents were popular all weekend. In fact, event sponsor and organizer Paul Little confirmed, “that the Guinness Gig Rig truck was drank almost dry.” Monster Energy joined as a major sponsor for the first time. Joya Sangria offered their authentic drinks. The Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, IHeart radio, 94.5, Waste Management, Starway Productions, Ivester Creative, Angry Orchard and The Shamrock Irish Pub & Eatery also provided their support. Food trucks, such as God Save the Cuisine from San Diego, Devilicious from Temecula and Mister Coolee Ice Cream, provided delicious festival fare. Vendor spaces this year ringed the venue for easier access and better visibility, an improvement over the separate parking lot locations of previous years. Clan Inebriated. Landford Imports, Tartan Hoody and

Irish Thug provided a variety of their clothing and logo items. Premier Designs and Jacob’s Gift offered a selection of jewelry, McLaren’s Shortbread tempted with their authentic cookies, jams and mixes. Quiet Cool Fans, Temecula Rugby and St. Peter’s Hurling Club from San Diego also had booths. “I wish there were more Irish and Scottish vendors,” said Muller, “I needed a new kilt pin and I couldn’t find one.” Another festivalgoer was looking for bangers and mash and other authentic Irish and Scottish fare. “We are very proud to bring a signature event to the city of Murrieta that now attracts Celtic festival music lovers from U.S. and beyond.,” said Little. “The feedback from our festival goers has been phenomenal and Get Shamrocked is now established as one of the premier Irish music festivals in the U.S. in just three years. Work has already begun on 2017 and we are planning for growth.” For information and tickets go to www.GetShamrocked.com.

Jill Roberts SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

TEMECULA – The Third Annual Concert for Heroes will again be held on Veterans Day at Galway Downs Friday, Nov. 11. Twentythree volunteers began meeting several weeks ago to plan and execute the concert. The Manzanita Ranch, Inc. is a nonprofit human

service agency dedicated to serving the needs of veterans by using horses for therapy. This year the Phoenix Patriot Band, the official rock band arm of the Phoenix Patriot Foundation, will be a highlight of the musical lineup. Members Darrin Isham and T-Bone Villegas are assisting to recruit local bands to play. Other notables already committed to per-

Tim Walsh is just one of many all-star performers who will take part in the third annual Concert for Heroes Nov. 11.

forming are the Manzanita Ranch’s Inland All Star Band, Slow Traffic, Michael Thomas, JD Priest, Tim Walsh, Tom Bray, Tim Moyer and many more. “The Concert for Heroes is now an established annual event,” said Ranch Director Johnny Roberts. “We are proud to be part of our community’s Veterans Day celebration. Folks will have all week to visit the Field of Honor in Murrieta and other activities around the region. On Friday, Nov. 11, following the Murrieta Veterans Day morning parade, bring your lawn chairs to attend the eight-hour concert at Galway Downs and celebrate with our veterans for what many say is the best concert of the year.” Galway Downs, located at 38801 Los Corralitos Road in Temecula, is near the corner of State Highway 79 South and Pauba Road in Temecula’s Wine Country. Galway has developed a new area of their property for weddings and events and our concert will be held in the new grass covered outdoor amphitheater. There will be two alternat-

ing stages in the amphitheater and another stage in the new Carriage House. Everyone involved in the Concert for Heroes is a volunteer, including the bands. Last year we had 126 musicians play for the veterans on Veterans Day. This year, members of the music division of the Phoenix Patriot Foundation are part of the organizing committee and their band The Phoenix Patriot Band will be featured at the concert. Many of the musicians who have played at the first two Concerts for Heroes have already committed to this year’s show. They come together for a cause they all believe in and enjoy being with each other making amazing music and atmosphere. Manzanita Ranch is committed to producing the show each Veterans Day. The ranch’s horses ride in the Murrieta Veterans Day Parade, then head to the concert at Galway Downs. According to Manzanita Ranch representatives, their understanding is that many families who attend the parade first

then join concert organizers for a full day honoring veterans and their many sacrifices. Veterans and active duty military will be admitted free. General admission for adults is $20, age 10-17 is $10, and youth under the age of 10 are free. Parking is $5 per car. Tickets can be purchased online at www.manzanitaranch.org and at the gate. Bring your lawn chairs! Sponsorships for this highly visible event are still available. Volunteers are needed for parking, security and other areas before and during the event. Galway Downs is a premiere equestrian facility. All proceeds from the Concert for Heroes will be used to support the horses that serve the veterans in the Manzanita Ranch’s, One Good Day Project. For additional information contact: Johnny Roberts by email at Johnny@Manzanitaranch.org. To learn more about the mission of The Manzanita Ranch, visit the website: www.Manzanitaranch. org.

Dining in the Valley Potlucks make a meal fun

Chicken pilaf combines the taste of curry, ginger, cinnamon, peas, almonds and orange zest with chicken, and rice.

Lucette Moramarco lmoramarco@reedermedia.com

true potluck is totally unplanned and can be an adventure in eating. I remember one potluck that consisted of several dishes of beans of various kinds and there was one Daughters of Norway (DON) potluck that was mostly desserts, but those were exceptions. In my experience, potlucks are usually delicious meals. It is amazing how well a potluck can turn out, especially if there is a theme to it. The DON potluck lunches usually feature several Scandinavian dishes but also a variety of other kinds of food. Norway is home to many immigrants and the Vikings traveled all over Europe so just about any kind of ethnic food is appropriate. I like to take cucumber salad or marinated beets (both dishes are dressed in a similar way involving vinegar and sugar) because they are easy to fix and are both popular with Norwegians. Open-faced sandwiches also go over well but take more time and planning to prepare. The good thing about potluck is that you don’t have to make a special trip to the store for supplies if you can put together a dish from the contents of your refrigerator and/or cupboard. On the other hand, if you

are short on time and ideas, picking up a prepared dish from the store works too. This month’s potluck was typical for a warm weather lunch. There was pickled herrings (from CostCo) accompanied by sour cream mixed with dill; smoked Gouda dip with a variety of crackers and cucumber slices; hummus and pita crackers; bunches of grapes and a bowl of strawberries. Other dishes included broccoli salad, barbecue beans and potato salad from a grocery store but also some homemade artichoke dip, with wheat thins and celery sticks; a cold spaghetti salad, and a chicken pilaf dish. The artichoke dip recipe is so easy, the lodge sister who made it told me exactly what was in it: one block cream cheese, two cups of mayonnaise, one large can of artichoke hearts and 6 ounces of Parmesan cheese. After mixing those ingredients with garlic powder and paprika, she baked it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350°. The spaghetti salad consisted of thin spaghetti mixed with chopped up green peppers, onion, tomato, and cucumber along with grated cheese (looked like cheddar), Italian dressing and an Italian seasoning packet. This was the first time I had tasted a dish like this and it was pretty good; I just avoided the peppers and tomato.

Another first taste for me was the chicken pilaf which consisted of basmati rice cooked in chicken broth, cooked onion, curry powder, ginger, cinnamon sticks used in the cooking process, chopped chicken, currants, peas, slivered almonds and finely grated orange zest. They are an interesting mix of flavors that go surprisingly well together. Of course, the dessert table was heavily populated as Scandinavians do love sweets. Offerings included a chess cake, which was delicious, an éclair cake, chocolate vanilla muffins, little cherry cheesecake tarts, chocolate covered almonds, and short bread cookies among other goodies. Drinks are the one aspect of a potluck that is easy to forget. A lot

of the ladies bring their own bottles of water or cups of coffee, but having a couple people bring drinks would help. The bottle of juice I brought didn’t last long. The more people involved in a potluck, the more choices you will have to fill your plate with food you like, some healthier than others. As long as the meal is for a specific group (club, organization, family or friends) and not open to the general public, all you need to worry about is having enough plates, utensils and cups to go around.

Making wine at

Cougar Vineyard & Winery is a true passion

A tractor mounted with a light array illuminates a section of vines at Cougar Vineyard & Winery during an early morning harvest, Sept. 16. Harvesting wine grapes at night and in early morning hours is ideal for the sugar level in the grapes to remain stable and for the grapes to remain at a suitable temperature for pressing and fermenting.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Editor’s Note; this is part one of a two-part series on winemaking at Cougar Vineyards & Winery,

a boutique winery on the DePortola Trail in Temecula Valley Wine Country. On a cool September morning, while most people were at home snuggled in bed, Cougar Vineyard

&Winery’s Winemaker Rick Buffington and his crew were wideawake. The group stood drinking hot coffee as a team of workers efficiently made their way through the vineyard, harvesting the grapes that would soon become one of the winery’s signature wines, Falanghina. This grape heralds from the Campania region north of Naples,

Italy – above the toe of Italy’s boot and produces a well-balanced dry white, with crisp acidity and hints of melon on the palate, Buffington, who owns the winery with his wife Jennifer, said. As the crew wordlessly made their way through the vines quickly harvesting the grapes with just a flick of their wrists, Buffington, along with his Assistant Wine-

maker Erick Erno discussed the harvest in sometimes hushed tones. They hoped for at least five bins of the Falanghina grapes that are currently only grown at Cougar, but feared it might be less due to the extremely hot temperatures that invaded the Inland Empire in July and August. They got lucky though, and ended up far surpassing the hoped for five bins, nearly doubling the hoped-for harvest with eight. “We were worried about those 118 degree days we had back in July,” said Buffington, who explained that intense heat can burn the leaves and dry the fruit out into raisins. Since fermentation involves the conversion of sugar to alcohol, grapes that are overly ripe and high in sugar can become wines that have an alcoholic burn or taste unbalanced and onedimensionally sweet. Once the grapes were harvested the real work began for the pair as they weighed and then began to press the grapes into juice that would eventually make the popular white wine. While some wineries prefer to crush the grapes for juice, at Cougar Vineyards &Winery, pressing the grapes just makes sense to them. “We got a really good yield out of doing the whole cluster pressing,” Buffington said. “That’s why I decided to do all the whites that way this year.” Once the juice is completely recovered from the grapes using the press, it is then moved to a storage tank where it is cooled down and undesirable materials are allowed to settle for a few days. Once the pressed juice has settled it is moved from the original tank to another, taking the cleaner juice into the new tank and leaving the settlement in the bottom of the first tank before the next step in the wine making process, fermentation. Adding the yeast doesn’t consist of just dumping it in to the tank, though. It’s a long, and quite frankly boring, process as the yeast is first activated, then wine is slowly added to the mix eventually bringing the temperature of the yeast mix down to within 20 degrees of the juice in the tank. “The process here is about the same as anywhere else,” Buffington said. “We put the yeast in the filtered hot water to activate it then add juice and the yeast starts to get happy. What you try to do is cool the temperature of it down at least within 20 degrees of the wine so you don’t shock the yeast and kill it.” Once the yeast is added, the wine sits in the tank for as many days necessary to make the clean and crisp tasting 2016 Estate Falanghina wine. The wine will sit in the tank about three weeks during the fermentation process. “You have to chill it down, but you don’t want it to chill too fast,” Buffington said, adding that he checks the wine daily. “Once it gets going, it’s pretty steady.” So now comes the hard part, the waiting. Once the Falanghina is ready, Cougar Vineyards & Winery will begin the bottling process and eventually sell the wine to their eager customers. But for now, there is still a small amount of Falanghina left at the winery, just a few cases,

From harvesting the grapes to bottling, the process of making wine is a multifaceted one. Top row, a group of workers from D-Vine Management harvests Falanghina grapes at Cougar Vinyard & Winery in the early morning hours Sept. 16. Second row, once the grapes are harvested they are checked and weighed. Third row, before becoming wine grapes have to be crushed then moved to a tank where they will sit for several days before Winemaker Rick Buffington can add the yeast that will ferment the juice into wine.

all the grapes are now ready to harvest so the pace will remain steady at the winery as they continue to harvest grapes and make their wines.

Plato’s Closet offers shoppers a chance to save big on trendy clothes for teens

Plato’s Closet carries a wide range of clothing in a variety of sizes. The consignment store caters to teens and twenty-somethings.

Plato’s Closet owner Angela Giles sorts through clothes being sold to the story by a customer.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

There is a new game in town for savvy parents looking for the best bargains to stretch their teen’s clothing budget. Offering a complete selection of trendy, designer styles as well as every day basics you can’t live without – all at up to 70 percent off mall retail prices, Plato’s Closet has something for every teen in the family. The store conveniently located outside Promenade Temecula at 41377 Margarita Road in suite 102 opened its doors to the local community Sept. 8 and has been going strong since, according to franchisee Angela Giles who owns the store with her husband. “We are buying and selling every day,” she said. “We had a really great grand opening, we met the goals that we had set and we received a lot of positive comments about our store and our inventory and the people were just really

With a vast array of clothing styles to choose from, shoppers at Plato’s Closet in Temecula are sure to find exactly what they are looking for.

excited.” Giles said it was when her youngest started first grade that she decided it was time to do something for herself. “We moved here about six years ago and when our little guy started first grade last year, I decided I wanted to do something as well,” Giles said of her decision to open the store in Temecula. “We just felt like Temecula was a great place for it.” The concept of selling clothes for cash isn’t a new one and Plato’s Closet has been performing the service for about two decades now, Giles said. “Plato’s closet has been around since the 90s,” she said. “It’s fairly new in southern California but there are close to 500 of them nationwide now.” The store fills a distinct niche in the retail market, according to Giles, who said the store focuses on teens through 20-somethings. “We are a part of a unique retail resale business that specializes in

A colorful array of purses and accessories line the wall at Plato’s Closet, Temecula’s newest consignment store.

Plato’s Closet doesn’t only make shop on consignment affordable, they make it easy with store displays showing a variety of styles that can be paired together or worn with something teens may already have in their closet. The store also has an online fashion Kim Harris photos blog at www.platoscloset.com.

the teen and young adult market segment,” she said. “The great thing about the concept is that consumers are always looking for ways to stretch their dollar and Plato’s Closet lets them save money in two ways. Customers can achieve savings up to 70 percent off trendy, brand-name clothing and accessories. Plus, they can receive cash on the spot for gentlyused items that are outgrown or no longer wanted.” That’s right, unlike typical consignment stores, consumers can sell their gently-used items all day, every day at Plato’s Closet and receive cash on the spot. Plus, no appointment is needed to sell items at the location. Plato’s Closet buys and sells items in great condition that are a current style, meaning they have been sold in stores within the past year or two. To trade in clothes, customers should just show up at the store with their clean, recent style clothing in tow. “We typically try to process ev-

ery buy within 20 minutes,” Giles said. “If we get backed up we will let them know how long the buy will be, but we like to get them processed as quickly as we can.” Shopping in a store like Plato’s Closet can equate to big savings for clever shoppers who are willing to part with their wardrobe and shop for gently used clothing. “Because we typically price the clothes at 50 to 70 percent off, you can buy the brands that your teens want at a price a family can afford,” Giles said. “The items in our store are very gently used and still on trend and we are selective in what we purchase so a family can come in and clothe their boys and their girls that are teens with shoes, clothes and even hats and accessories and do it at a huge discount.” For Giles, it’s not just about saving money, but about the shopping experience too. “It’s just a fun concept,” she said. To trade in clothes, people should just show up at the store

with their clean, recent style clothing in tow. For more information or store hours, the new Plato’s Closet can be reached at (951) 296-0133. The store’s website can be found online at www.platosclosettemecula. com/. The store is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily except Sundays when they are open 12-5 p.m. About Plato’s Closet Plato’s Closet leads the nation in the buying and selling of name brand, gently used apparel and accessories for teens and twenty-something girls and guys.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Sell first or Buy first: Best strategies Mike Mason SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Today’s Temecula – Murrieta move-up/movedown buyers face many challenges in an ever evolving real estate market. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a larger home for your family with more yard for the children and dogs to play or downsizing to a smaller home with less maintenance, the challenges are all the same; juggling two real estate transactions at once. Not an easy task for even the most diligent. Since many of our Temecula and Murrieta neighbors once again have equity in their homes, many are planning on selling one home and buying another, as the local real estate market continues to appreciate. The local Temecula and Murrieta market conditions can be both a blessing and a curse to the move-up buyer. While the thought of limited inventory to select a new home from is not something to look forward to, yet when selling your current home you’ll welcome the bidding war that buyers will generate for the right home in the right neighborhood. The trick, of course, is in managing and even juggling simultaneous transactions. It is a task that can be both frenzied and daunting to even the most experienced homeowner. In the worst case scenario not only can the dream home be lost, but the earnest money deposit as well. While every seller-buyer is different and each have their own personal scenario, unique to them they still must answer the all-important universal question, “Can I afford to pay two mortgages at once if I buy before I sell? Or do I prepare to move twice, if I sell before I buy?”

W NE

Should I stay or should I go? The biggest issue about buying before you sell of course, is financing. With the newest provision of the DoddFrank Act that took effect in 2014, even today lenders interpret differently these new federal laws aimed at protecting consumers while maintaining the integrity of federally insured mortgages. Now more than ever, it’s critical to speak with your lender and investigate how a ‘Qualified Mortgage’ effects your personal situation. Some move-up buyers will decide to NOT pay two mortgage payments and just go ahead and move in with friends or family, or perhaps rent an apartment or other temporary housing giving them more time to find and buy their new home. In a “Seller’s Market” like Temecula and Murrieta real estate is currently experiencing, most sellers will not accept an offer contingent on the buyer selling their current home. However, a good real estate agent will have some creative options from their tool box of experience to make for a smoother move-up transaction. There is more control on the selling side As a seller, you have two tools that can be used to make the process run smoother. First, when you list your home, have your agent report to the MLS that the sale of your home is contingent on you being able to find your new dream home. This will allow escrow to coordinate dual simultaneous closings. The other option, when an offer comes in on the sale of your home, a good real estate agent can negotiate a seller rent-back agreement. This allows the buyer to close escrow on your home and take title while allowing you to remain in the home until you can move into your new home. It is fairly common to allow the

Buying techniques As a move-up buyer with a house to sell a smart move is to limit your search to homes that have been on the market or 30 days or more. While this is not a long time in a ‘normal’ market, the seller will no doubt be feeling anxious and probably more willing to negotiate a contingency allowing the buyer to sell their home. The object will be to convince the seller to believe they are better off accepting your contingent offer than waiting for another buyer to come along. It should go without saying that a full price offer should be made with few other contingencies and if you want a long escrow, perhaps sweeten the pot with a little extra purchase price. By having your financing locked in, removing a loan contingency is another strong move that can work in your favor. A seller may accept your contingent offer with a ‘kick-out clause’ that will enable them to keep their home on the market and if a better offer comes in, they can ‘kick’ your contract with an appropriate notice, giving you the opportunity to move forward with your contract. As the buyer, having more flexibility

in location may work for you as well. While certain local neighborhoods turn homes quicker than others, there really are no bad Temecula or Murrieta neighborhoods. Allowing for some flexibility in location and even features can prove advantageous – without settling of course. The devil is in the details The most important thing a move-up buyer can do is be prepared on every level. As we discussed above, having your financing in place is critical. Make sure that the home you’re selling is in the best possible condition, staged to appeal to the widest audience and priced for a quick sale.

The final consideration every moveup buyer needs to focus on is a backup plan. Always keep in mind the infamous Murphy’s law, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Sometimes ‘Plan B’ turns out to be the best plan, especially if it works out!

Remember to replace smoke alarms every 10 years TEMECULA – The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently announced “Don’t Wait: Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years” as the official theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, Oct. 9-15. The focus on smoke alarm replacement comes as the result of a recent survey conducted by NFPA, which showed that only a small percentage of people know-how old their smoke alarms are or how often they need to be replaced. NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code®, requires smoke alarms be replaced at least every 10 years, but because the public is generally unaware of this requirement, many homes likely have smoke alarms past their expiration date, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. “Smoke alarms play an essential role in home fire safety, but they have to be working properly in order to protect people,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach and Advocacy division. “This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign represents the final year of a three-year effort to better educate the public about the

importance of smoke alarms, and what it takes to make sure they’re in working order.” According to an NFPA report, in one-fifth (20 percent) of all U.S. homes with smoke alarms, the smoke alarms aren’t working; three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without smoke alarms (38 percent) or with no working smoke alarms (21 percent). “People tend to assume that simply having smoke alarms in their home ensures adequate protection from fires, but it takes regular testing and maintenance to ensure that that’s the case,” said Carli. “Part of that effort is making sure you know how old the smoke alarms in your home are, and that they’re replaced every 10 years.” Carli notes that the age of a smoke alarm can be determined by looking for the date of manufacture on the back or side of the alarm, and to replace the units 10 years from that date. NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years. For more information on this year ’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Don’t Wait: Check the Date! Replace Smoke

seller to remain in possession of the property for up to three days after the close of escrow without any financial consideration. More than three days, a rent-back should be negotiated. While the amount of the rent is always negotiable it’s typical to consider the buyer’s payment and add in a pro-rated share of property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and HOA dues, if any. A rent-back payment is intended to keep the buyer whole and not create a profit center. The buyer’s lender may allow up to 60 days of rent-back; anything more and the buyer’s lender may consider the loan to be for investment property, not allowing owner-occupied financing. In today’s competitive seller’s market most buyers will be willing to cooperate allowing you to find your new home and close your own escrow if the home is priced right and in great condition.

How to tackle your grocery bill

Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Food shopping can quickly take over your budget despite your best intentions. Perhaps it’s due to impulse purchases, unplanned shopping trips, food going bad or a combination of all three. If you’re looking for ways to save money while enjoying nutritious and delicious meals, consider these money-saving tactics. Stick to your budget to save time and money. Look at your food budget before making a trip to the store. If you don’t have one yet, figure out your overall budget including food costs with a simple budget work sheet. Knowing how much you want to spend and actually spent can help you make informed decisions. Plan out the week’s meals with your budget in mind. If you make dishes that rely on the same staples, you can save money by using leftovers to create a new dish. But mix things up to avoid boredom. Make your trip to the grocery store even easier with a shopping list.

Sticking to a list can help limit food waste and make it easy to get in and out of the grocery store. If you share food shopping duties with a spouse or partner, you can avoid double purchases by using grocery apps that let you create and sync shopping lists. Stack different discounts and deals to rack up savings. Once you enter the grocery store, it’s time to put your plan into action. Plan for the occasional indulgence and let yourself make impulse purchases occasionally, but try to stick to the list. You can also often save money at grocery stores by joining the store’s loyalty program. Members get exclusive discounts, and some programs offer additional savings at partner stores. Check your membership account online or with the app before checking out, as some programs have electronic coupons that you need to “clip” to get the savings. Increase your grocery budget One way to increase your grocery budget is to use one, or several, of the apps that give you cash back when you buy groceries. Sometimes you

can even earn cash back on general purchases like a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk. Depending on the app and food, you may need to verify the purchase by scanning the barcode and sending a picture of your receipt. The store you choose can also significantly impact how much you’ll spend. Strategically plan your shopping route. Planning your grocery shopping after reviewing your local stores’ weekly sales and coupons can help you determine what to buy where. Also take the time to explore your neighborhood stores, as one grocer may frequently have highquality yet inexpensive produce while another might have a great butcher. No matter where you shop, be mindful of how the store’s design can entice you to make purchases. The outside ring is often where you’ll find the fewest processed foods, however you might notice that you need to walk to the back of the store to grab milk or eggs. The store hopes you’ll be tempted by something you see along the way. Stick to your list! Sticking to your list, refraining from walking through an aisle unless you need to and remembering that the eye-level products aren’t necessarily the best bang for your buck can help you avoid these traps. Stick to inexpensive foods. Consider choosing store-brand rather than name-brand products as they’re often cheaper, but not necessarily lower quality. You may also want to consider changing what you buy. Filet mignon can be delicious, but so can cheaper cuts of meat and there’s a lot of advice online for how to best prepare them. Staples, such as rice, beans and canned or frozen goods are also a low-cost way to supplement meals.

Altura Credit Union named ‘Best Credit Union to Work For’ RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union was recently named among the nation’s very best credit unions to work for by a leading industry publication, “Credit Union Journal.” Altura is ranked No. 1 in the state of California, No. 14 nationally and No. 8 in the U.S. among credit unions with assets over $1 billon. “We are incredibly proud that Altura has been recognized as one of the best credit unions to work for,” said Altura President and CEO Mark Hawkins. “Obviously, delivering the products and services our members expect is our top priority. Ensuring that our employees enjoy working at Altura is a close second. We want all 358 of our employees to enjoy coming to work every day and being fulfilled by the work they do. If we positively engage our people, it ensures they can meet our Members’ expectations.” In making its announce-

ment, Credit Union Journal explained that financial institutions were judged on a variety of topics, including employee engagement in decision-making, employee health and wellness programs, volunteering, recognition, off-site adventures and creative incentive plans. Additionally, the publication said that participating credit unions underwent a two-part assessment administered by Best Companies Group, a third-party research firm. The first part of the assessment gathered information about each credit union’s benefits, policies and human resources practices, which counted for 25 percent of the score. The second part included a confidential 78-question survey of employees, which accounted for 75 percent of the final score. Altura Credit Union is a not-forprofit, member-owned financial institution headquartered in Riverside County. Anyone who lives, works,

worships or attends school in Riverside and San Diego counties and selected cities in San Bernardino and Orange counties can become an Altura member. For more information, visit AlturaCU.com.

Business MPS maintained security at Murrieta Get Shamrocked Festival MURRIETA – For the previous three years, MPS Security a national, Murrieta-based security agency has been responsible for the management of security for the Murrieta Get Shamrocked Irish Music Festival. The two-day festival of Celtic culture Sept. 23-24 included music, dancing and food. The premier Celtic music festival boasts an annual attendance of over 10,000 spectators, making security a critical step in the planning process. One of the significant safety planning steps involved in prepping for the Get Shamrocked event is that alcohol is involved in the guest experience, which requires additional

monitoring to prevent excessive intoxication. Similar events host beer garden areas, which are erected and strictly monitored so that only guests entering with government issued ID’s can partake. Get Shamrocked differed in that all guests were required to show an appropriate ID, as mandated by the California Alcoholic Beverage Control, classifying the entire venue area as a beer garden; this called for security to control and monitor event access. In the past, proper monitoring of attendees and planning has prevented any type of physical confrontations. “We have established a strong relationship here with the Mur-
