Several hot-button issues were raised and a longtime Temecula council member was singled out for criticism during a sparsely-attended candidates’ forum. Traffic gridlock, Old Town’s parking squeeze and the controversial prospects of council term limits, a sales tax increase and the creation of a city police force were tossed out by challengers in the nine-candidate race with two seats are up for grabs in the Nov. 8 general election. Mayor Mike Naggar, seeking a fifth term on the Temecula City Council, was forcefully challenged by Angel Garcia, who has repeatedly been thwarted in his bids for elected office.

Hemet fire captains to move up to battalion chiefs Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Hemet City Council on the recommendation of the Fire Chief agreed to promote Hemet fire captains to the positions of battalion chiefs to improve the departments administrative abilities during the Sept. 27 regular city council meeting. “This is the first step in improving the departments administration,” said Fire Chief Scott Brown. In a recent state audit the Hemet Fire Department was lacking in the needed administration to ensure the safety of the city’s residents. For this and other reasons the audit termed the city’s public safety services “at risk.” The move actually reclassifies the captains back to the battalion chiefs’ positons they once held before the city was forced to reduce the department’s budget in fiscal year 2009-10 because of the recession. Other city employees were reclassified as well to try to cut that year’s dwindling general budget. According to the Fire Chief’s report, given the council the City engaged Emergency Services Consulting lnternational for a Service Delivery Options Analysis of the Fire Department in June 2015. One of the recommendations of the resulting report was to improve the management of the Department through the reestablishment of the Battalion Chief classification. As requested by the city manager and Fire Chief, the city’s human resources staff began the process of updating the job description and salary range for the Battalion Chief classification. Using job descriptions and salary ranges for comparable cities an updated job

description and salary schedule was prepared and approved by the Fire Chief and City Manager in August. The staff’s report noted that the three captains at this time were already adequately performing most of the duties of battalion chiefs and should be restored back their original positions with an appropriate salary increase. The 2016-17 budget provided $552,888 in salaries for the captains. The staff recommended that an additional $18,596 be added the initial budget to bring then back up to battalion chief status. The recommendation was approved by the council. In other actions Chief Brown presented fire/EMS cost recovery report discussed by the council. The recent state audit requested by the city made recommendations of how the city might recover enough money to balance its budget and restore its reserves to take the city out the public safety “at risk,” status. The chief reviewed the findings of the state audit that reported “faces critical needs for sufficient staffing and repairs for its infrastructure. Handles a high demand for services (16,171 total calls in 2015) with minimal staffing resulting in unsafe conditions and incurs costs for medical emergencies that it does not recover these costs through charges.” Using an average cost standard of fees charged to recover emergency medical costs by other cities Chief Brown and staff suggested the city charge $350 in EMS charges and a $50 subscription fee charged to residents (not to exceed the actual costs) which would gross about $4.5 million per year. The $350 fee would be waived if paramedics respond to the emergency call.

While residents currently are charged for some services there is a “soft collection” process in which those unable to pay for the service are not pursued by collection agencies. The idea of the city imposing a fire/EMS annual subscription fee on the residents did not appeal to the council. Councilman Robert Youseff who noted that if Measure U, a Nov. 8 ballot measure asking the city residents approve a one-cent sales tax with the funds being used for improving public safety services, should pass an additional subscription fee would overly burden the community. “My biggest concern is how it would impact our senior community… It just wouldn’t be fair.” The large number of senior citizens in Hemet use most of the city’s EMS services and live on fixed incomes. “We need some other method of cost recovery,” he suggested. The other council members agreed and recommended the staff try to find some other way to recover the EMS/fire service costs. The fee recommendation was denied and the staff charged to find some other means to recover the costs. The state auditors said if the fees were not approved the city should look to joining with other cities for joint emergency responses The council also rejected the state auditor’s proposal to out-source more of the city park maintenance work, praising the work the three city parks maintenance crewmembers work, above and beyond the normal work. The city in addition to the city park employees, contracts some of the city and park turf upkeep and landscape maintenance work to Adame Landcape, Inc.

County OKs mutual aid agreement with Soboba Indian fire department Joe Naiman VALLEY NEWS CORRESPONDENT

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a mutual aid agreement between the Riverside County Fire Department and the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians Aug. 23. The supervisors’ 5-0 vote during its supervisor’s meeting approved the agreement with the Soboba Indian reservation, whose fire department is under the tribe’s Department of Public Safety. The reservation’s Department of Public Safety was established in 2007 to assist the tribal government by providing law enforcement and other first responder services. In 2014 the county approved a dispatch and communications services agreement with the Soboba tribe, but no previous mutual aid agreement had been in place. Soboba proposed a mutual aid agreement allowing the county

fire department to respond to some emergency fire, medical, or rescue incidents within reservation boundaries and allowing the reservation department to respond to incidents within county fire department boundaries. An agreement was reached regarding the level of service to be provided as well as other terms. The county and reservation fire chiefs will have the authority to administer the agreement or to delegate administration to their agents.The agreement includes an operating plan which will be developed and reviewed annually by the fire chiefs. The county or reservation fire department can go into territory within the other agency’s boundary upon its own initiative but will provide notice to the other agency when practical to do so. If an incident occurs along the border between the county and reservation boundaries both agencies will send

resources immediately to prevent response delays. If an agency responds into the other agency’s boundaries the senior officer from the responding agency will initially be in charge and will direct activities, and when an officer from the agency receiving the mutual aid arrives at the incident that officer will take over responsibility including the authority to release all fire department resources of both agencies. The agreement also calls for periodic joint training exercises and classes to enhance interdepartmental coordination. The Soboba fire station is in the 24000 block of Soboba Road. The Riverside County Fire Department stations include Station 25 in the 100 block of South San Jacinto Avenue, Station 26 in the 25900 block of Stanford Street on the outskirts of Hemet and Station 72 in the 25100 block of Fairview Avenue east of Hemet.

Local Supervisors approve Rancho California Road widening agreement Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Traffic congestion along Rancho California Road near Butterfield Stage Road has led to a desire by the City of Temecula to provide intersection improvements along Rancho California Road and Butterfield Stage Road. Some of that improvement work is in the unincorporated portion of Riverside County, but the road improvement work also has the support of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and the supervisors voted 5-0 to approve a cooperative agreement with the City of Temecula for the road improvements project Aug. 23.

The improvements to the intersection of Rancho California Road and Butterfield Stage Road will include right turn and left turn pockets, modifications to the intersection’s traffic signal, and a new westbound lane on Rancho California Road east of Butterfield Stage Road. The plans without the county’s support would have added the westbound lane for 580 feet, and the county’s cooperation will extend that lane for an additional 520 feet to Avenida Biona. The county’s cost for the project is estimated to be $123,200. Gas tax revenue will fund the county’s contribution to the road widening.

ELSINORE from page A-1 where all can live, work and play, build futures and fulfill dreams.” The city prides itself on being the place where residents can “Dream Extreme, Live Extreme and Be Extreme,” something the city has focused on embracing since 2013 when leaders decided it was time to take to city to the next level and focus on becoming the leading recreational destination in Riverside County. Tisdale went on to point out four key steps the city took to ensure their success. Creating a vision, improving the city’s image, investing in infrastructure and encouraging partnership with private investors to bring more development into the city. “As the saying goes, ‘luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.’ We have prepared, we are ready and we are seizing each and every opportunity,” Tisdale said. This year the city expects to continue to capitalize on continued revenue growth – to the tune of more than $40.4 million – thanks to increases in the city’s tax rolls in the form of property tax, sales tax and transient occupancy taxes. The city boasts “healthy” reserves with $7.5 million in an “economic uncertainty reserve” and another $4.8 million in in unreserved fund balance. Tisdale also spoke on the city’s growth. Currently one of the fastest growing cities in the state, each year 450 new families moves into Lake Elsinore, he said. “Lake Elsinore is projected to grow by another 7 percent over the next five years,” Tisdale said crediting the growth, in part, to partnerships with a variety of new neighborhoods including Summerly, Rosetta Canyon and Canyon Hills. “Currently, there are nine new model complexes, 15 active housing tracts and 125 single family residential units under construction,” Tisdale said, adding that commercial growth and industrial development has followed. “We have seen a strong and steady increase in private development with several new businesses opening this past year including Aldi, Airstream RV, Planet Fitness, restaurants such as VIP Café, The Lake House Brews & Chews, Dickie’s BBQ and much more,” he said. Lake Elsinore Casino continues to invest in the community, Tisdale said, adding that over the past three years the casino has invested more than $2 million with the intent of investing another $5 million over the next five years. Navy Federal Credit Union and the new ownership of

The Links at Summerly Golf Course have also invested in the community, he said. Economic Development efforts continue to pay off for the city as national retailers are looking at Lake Elsinore as a possible home for their businesses, Tisdale told the crowd. “The city has also done its part by investing in our communities and improving everyone’s quality of life. Our focus has been on offering recreational amenities, programs, and events that appeal to everyone,” Tisdale said. “This year, we used more than $1.12 million in grant funding to upgrade two of our oldest parks in Historic Downtown District. At Yarborough Park, we added the city’s second splash pad and a synthetic turf sports field complete with goals and safety nets. At City Park on Main Street, we added new energy saving lighting, installed a basketball court and upgraded the existing structures. Our community loves these improvements and more residents are coming out to visit these two beautiful, mature parks.” According to Tisdale, the city has three major parks currently under construction; Rosetta Canyon Sports Park, phase two of Serenity Park – which when completed will include the city’s first BMX Track and a dog park – and Summerly Community Park, which is being completely funded by Summerly developers. Other city improvements include brick replacement, the addition of speakers for ambient music and new tree lights on Historic Main Street and the currently underway improvements to the city’s Senior Center. Diamond Stadium is also undergoing upgrades, Tisdale said. The city has already completed more than $2 million in maintenance and upgrades and this year the city will invest another $3 million in new stadium seating and other infrastructure repairs.

ing include the city playing host to 31 community events in 2015 with outside promoters hosting an additional 30 special events in the city, the kickoff of Healthy LE, a community program designed to get residents active, motivated and to be healthy, the start of a new busking program, ARTonMAIN that takes place every Saturday in Historic Downtown and the announcement of an ARTist Detour by Studio 395 with whom the city has partnered with to bring arts back into the city. As in the case of almost every city in the state, Lake Elsinore has concerns about long-term financial stability due to the state’s lack of funding to the cities and the everchanging economy. “While we don’t know yet what the future holds in terms of sales tax revenues, it is clear by the number of tax measures on the ballot for cities throughout the state that we must find new and creative ways to shore up revenue sources locally,” Tisdale said. To date the city has already refunded or issued $180 million in bond debt resulting in “significant savings” for the city and its residents in the form of more than $3.4 million in levy reductions, a total debt reduction of $34 million, returned $13.7 million to taxpayers and freed up more than $49 million for capital infrastructure projects. Tisdale praised both the police and fire department as well as city staff for maintaining service levels with lower resources. Upcoming projects include; steps to expand and update all five of the city’s freeway interchanges, the extension of Camino Del Norte, reconstruction of Gunnerson Avenue, improvements to 30 lane miles of roadways as part of the Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Program, moving powerlines underground along Lakeshore Drive, new bike lanes and sidewalks near and around the city’s schools and a new community center in the old Sheriff Station. Tisdale also addressed the lake and some of the unique issues faced by the city. Calling it the city’s “Most valuable and most challenging asset” Tisdale said the lake fell to its lowest level since 1993 thanks to the ongoing drought. “As a result, in the heat of the summer, we experienced a toxic blue-green algae bloom that forced us to close the lake for one week. Despite our efforts and the millions of dollars invested by the city, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, and the Lake Elsinore & San Jacinto Watershed Authority, we were reminded this year that we also need Mother Nature’s help,” Tisdale said. “The lake has historically been a challenge for the city and we have made tremendous progress. But, we need a long-term plan and a reliable funding source to do more to improve and preserve this beautiful, natural water body that lies right in the middle of our city.” Tisdale said that Lake Elsinore has reached a new “level of distinction,” but that challenges needed to be met head on. “We’ve been building up our endurance, eliminating bad habits, training day and night, and getting stronger,” he said. “The city of Lake Elsinore is getting ‘Fit for the Future’ by taking a look at each of these obstacles and creating a plan of action to ensure long-term success.”

Pechanga Golf Tournament raises more than $100,000 for four charities in the Inland Empire

Pechanga Development Corporation board members present big checks to four golf tournament beneficiaries. Courtesy photo

PECHANGA INDIAN RESERVATION – More than $100,000 is going to four deserving Inland Empire charities this fall thanks to Pechanga. The tribe hosted a two-day charity golf tournament that raised more than $25,000 each for the American Red Cross of Riverside, Million Kids, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and the American Indian Veterans Memorial Inc. In its 18th year, the Pechanga Charity Golf Classic has brought together tribal government and Indian gaming industry leaders to raise more than $1 million for vital nonprofits throughout the region. The two-day event has grown to include more than 300 golfers including several sports celebrities. “We deeply appreciate the work that these service groups do for our veteran’s, homeless families, and our young people,” said Patrick Murphy, president of the Pechanga Development Corporation. “Our

region’s nonprofits amaze us with what they can accomplish in the lives of our neighbors in need, and we are honored to support their vital efforts which make our community stronger.” The American Red Cross of Riverside County serves more than 2 million people across 7,208 square miles. The Red Cross empowers ordinary people to perform extraordinary acts in emergency situations. They train, mobilize and connect donors and volunteers to those in urgent need of a helping hand. Whether it is a wildfire or a heart attack, a call for blood or a call for help after a devastating home fire, the Red Cross is there. All Red Cross assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. “The Red Cross is grateful to Pechanga for their generous donation,” said Lois Beckman, executive director, American Red

Cross serving Riverside County. “With their gift, we can continue to provide comfort to a family after losing their home to fire, assist a service member return home for the birth of a child, and deliver lifesaving blood to a child battling cancer. We are proud to partner with Pechanga to bring help to those in need in our community.” Million Kids serves as the training and outreach coordinator for the Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force. They assist women and youth on the street that need a safe haven, food or personal items. They educate school administrators, teachers, support staff, and students about how predators groom, recruit and exploit young people. They educates at-risk and foster youth, foster parents, single parents and grandparents raising grand kids about predators, social media and human trafficking. They help activists and communities develop effective anti-trafficking programs in their locales. “Thank you with all our heart. We so much appreciate this amazing opportunity,” said Opal Singleton, executive director for Million Kids. “We are dedicated to stopping child sex trafficking and sexual exploitation throughout all of Riverside County and beyond. None of our staff are salaried through the nonprofit organization so you can be assured that these funds will be directly used to change lives and protect youth within our communities.” The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures and means of pre-

Mayor’s Roundtables highlighted in ‘CA Cities Advocate’ MENIFEE – The Mayor ’s Roundtables have been highlighted in “CA Cities Advocate,” a well-known publication in the state of California, as being a successful platform for communication between residents and their elected officials. The mayor and city staff holds four Mayor’s Roundtables each year, giving the business community an opportunity to communicate directly with the mayor, city leadership, and the city’s economic development team. The Mayor’s Roundtables were designed to be an informal forum

for open communication with business leaders. Businesses are grouped by industry and encouraged to share challenges directly with the mayor and his staff members. The mayor invites one other councilmember and the city manager to engage and relationship build with the business groups. “CA Cities Advocate” is produced several times a week through CA League of Cities and is the league’s electronic legislative and policy report. Cities all over California receive the report, sharing Menifee’s progress and methods with the rest of the state.

“The Mayor ’s Roundtable events have been essential to the success of Menifee,” said Mayor Scott Mann. “Business input on the progress of the city is vital to leading the direction of the city, and these roundtable events give us the opportunity to connect.” For more information about Mayor’s Roundtables in Menifee, please contact economic development manager Gina Gonzalez at ggonzalez@cityofmenifee.us, or call (951) 672-6777.

Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family›s ability to pay. “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. At St. Jude, families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food, because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago,” said Angela Northrup, regional director.

Temecula City Council candidate Angel Garcia answers questions during a Temecula City Council candidate forum at city hall, Sept. 26.

COUNCIL from page A-1 Naggar was targeted by Garcia at least five times. At one point, Garcia described Naggar as “complacent” and he cited the need for new leadership as Temecula nears the end of its third decade as a city. For his part, Naggar shrugged off the verbal thrusts as he spotlighted his experience and pointed to the achievements that Temecula has notched since it became a city in December 1989. “We have done fantastic things,” Naggar said at

one point. “We are on the right course.” The other six candidates participating in the event did not enter the verbal fray. They seemed content to detail their backgrounds and offer their views on the range of issues that surfaced. Candidate Jeff Frichner used a portion of his time to make a statement of faith. He cited Bible scripture references and told how Jesus entered his life during his military service. “I believe God will help us if we just ask him,” Frichner said.

“He will make Temecula a shining city on the hill.” Frichner also cited the need for more jobs in the region and the risks posed by pension costs amassed by public employees. The Sept. 26 forum attracted 30 onlookers, a sparse audience that was attributed to the competition posed by a televised presidential debate and Monday Night Football. The turnout included two of the forum’s organizers, a city parks commissioner, a uniformed police officer, a newspaper reporter, two press photographers and four members of a candidate’s family. Only one candidate, James Cooley, failed to participate in the forum that was held in the City Council chambers and sponsored by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. Chamber officials plan to post the forum on the group’s website. Incumbent Michael McCracken said he alone offers city experience and a fresh outlook. McCracken, a city parks commissioner for seven years, was appointed in April 2015 to fill a rare open seat on the council dais. The nine-candidate field is one of the largest in Temecula’s nearly 27-year history as a city. It is rare when an incumbent seeks to retain an appointed post. Unlike most cities in the region, Temecula’s council has experienced scant turnover since incorporation. As about 45 candidates can attest, ousting an incumbent has proven to be a rare feat. Just 14 people have served on Temecula’s five-member council in the city’s history. Only two incumbents, Sam Pratt and Karel Lindemans, have lost

a re-election bid since Temecula became a city. Three of the challengers, Garcia, Cooley and Ron Bradley were among the 23 hopefuls who applied for the vacancy that was created when Gov. Jerry Brown tapped longtime Temecula Councilman Chuck Washington to fill an opening on the Riverside County board of supervisors. Naggar and Garcia, who finished fourth in the November 2014 council race for three open seats, also sparred during that selection hearing. The appointment decision was the first of its kind in a decade for the fast-growing city. Because of his vast government and business experience, Bradley was seen by many as a likely pick to replace Washington on the council. Bradley’s government resume spans more than 45 years following his early work as a police officer. He is best known in Temecula as its city manager from 1994 to 1998 and as a chairman of its chamber of commerce. Bradley also worked as a city manager for La Mesa and Oceanside, and held interim manager positions in Murrieta and Hemet after he retired from Temecula. He has also worked as a finance director, development consultant and bank vice president. Bradley cited his experience during the forum and noted his role in the city’s development as waves of growth rolled through the region. This campaign is his first bid for public office. James “Stew” Stewart is the other candidate who has held an elected government office. He

served on the Rancho California Water District board from 2011 to 2015. He won that seat after a pair of unsuccessful bids to be elected to the Temecula council. Stewart described himself at the forum “just a normal guy” who adeptly tackles the challenges that face public agencies. He said he wants to be a voice for those in Temecula “who feel their quality of life is slipping away.” The other political newcomers cited their dedication to the city and detailed their community, business and nonprofit activities. Adam Ruiz touted his extensive ties to the business community and said he has been active in an array of projects and programs over the years. The youngest candidate, Skyler Temple, was one of several forum participants who told of their opposition to a proposed city sales tax increase that will also be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Temple, Stewart and some of the other challengers said they fear that the 1 percent tax increase could prompt some stores and shoppers to do businesses elsewhere. Other than Garcia’s prodding of Naggar, the event was low key and there were few flashes of tension or animosity. The event wound down on a quiet note, with several of the participants clustering afterward with their supporters or their chamber hosts. “It was a good debate or a forum or whatever you call it,” Naggar said to the organizers. “Now it’s a sprint to the finish.” See more candidate photos online at www.myvalleynews.com.

Temecula announces launch of new city website TEMECULA – The City of Temecula is pleased to announce the launch of a redesigned city website in an effort to enhance online transparency and create a more user-friendly site for its residents, businesses and visitors. The website, TemeculaCA.gov, has a fresh look and feel, while providing a citizen-centric navigation platform to easily and quickly access to popular services. “This revamped website shows the beauty of our community, promotes the city’s branding, and is

much more user-friendly for our residents and visitors,” Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar said. The redesigned website will navigate users to the information they need most. The city’s home page provides the most popular services, such as contacting City staff, planned roadwork, news, emergency alerts and employment opportunities. Two calendars display both city-sponsored events and city meetings to keep people up-to-date on what’s happening in Temecula. The improved website

implements a consistent look and feel that aids in the creation of a strong city identity, and builds recognition for the City. It is also mobile-friendly and will be properly displayed on any device. The City is additionally working on its own mobile app, which will be available in the coming months via the Apple AppStore and Goolge’s Play store. “We have evolved over the years updating our websites along the way to ensure the City keeps in line with modern technology,” Mayor

Pro-Tem Maryann Edwards of the City’s E-Government subcommittee said, “This new website enhances community engagement and communication for citizens and I’m confident visitors will find the enhancements refreshing.” City Council Member Michael McCracken, also a member of the E-Government subcommittee, said that a website is a first impression for many people. “Often times, your first impression of a city is what you see and find on their website, so the

importance of capturing Temecula and our services online is very important and I’m proud of our new site,” McCracken said. The city of Temecula contracted with CivicPlus, known for being the leading government website provider. For questions or further information regarding the City’s new website, TemeculaCA.gov, contact Michael Heslin, Director of Information Technology & Support Services be sending an email to michael.heslin@TemeculaCA.gov or calling (951) 308-6300.

Supervisors seek to bridge ‘Digital Divide’ Paul Young SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Riverside Board of Supervisors recently authorized the Department of Information Technology to move forward with an initiative to expand broadband connectivity to all corners of Riverside County in the interest of offering high-speed internet access to more residents and

businesses. “The question is, how can we be like other communities across the United States that are offering highspeed gigabyte services?” county chief information officer Steve Reneker asked the board. “Places like Chattanooga and Kansas City are attracting a lot of industry, major software developers and video technology. What would it take to make

TRUAX from page A-1 “That man has a path and a destination for everything he is doing,” said Tom Schweibert, who has been a friend and business associate of Truax for 18 years. “You are larger than life,” quipped Temecula Mayor pro-tem Maryann Edwards, as she related the experience of the Chinese people identifying Truax as John Wayne due to his stature, cowboy boots and hat. Edwards then shared others he reminded her of, using photos from Truax’ past to compare him with movie actor Charlie Weaver, Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty, and “the Skipper” from Gilligan’s Island. On a serious note, “he brought vision, leadership, passion, beauty and class to Temecula,” said Edwards, “he does the most beautiful work.” She also noted that “he will do what he says and will seal a deal with a handshake.” Temecula Councilman Michael McCracken presented a Declaration on behalf of the City of Temecula, and personally extended his appreciation for the impact that Truax has had on him personally. Joan Sparkman, who could not attend the event sent a message: “He walks the walk and talks the talk. I am proud to call him a friend and congratulate him on this very deserving honor.” Truax was a Boy Scout in Cleveland, Ohio, in the 1950s; he remembers his Scout Master Kenneth Gorgi from Troop 213 and the impact the scouting experience had on his life. “I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the Boy Scouts,” said Truax, “It has been one of the anchors in my life.” He also credited the Cub Scouts, and his father sending him to a private school led by the Jesuit brothers as other anchors in his life. “I was a cub scout, my mom was the den mother, I became a Boy Scout, but never became an Eagle Scout because we kept moving with my dad’s job. But the experience gave me a love for fishing, hunting, camping. My Scout Master was the first one who recognized my skill in sales. “I went off the track, but because of those anchors, I came back 40 years later,” said Truax. “The journey taught me a lot.” Truax, acknowledged being a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. He

that possible here?” Reneker said a plan he dubbed “RIVCOconnect” seeks to make Riverside County a thriving part of the digital economy while also extending the reach of high-speed internet access to the roughly 100,000 residents, including 58 percent of rural and tribal populations who still depend on dial-up or other slowspeed services. The IT director said RIVCOconnect is a means of “narrowing the digital divide” and highlighting the county’s capacity to serve high-tech industries. According to Reneker, the plan calls for a 21st century high-speed broadband network founded on 1 gigabyte-per-second connectivity countywide. The county would not take the lead in putting the IT infrastructure in place, but would instead incentivize the build-out via expedited permitting and minimizing the impact of California Environmental Quality Act requirements. Reneker

estimated the cost of creating the fiber-optic network would top out at $2 billion. He mentioned various telecommunications companies as possible investors and insisted that the county would not bear any major expenses. Supervisor Kevin Jeffries worried about prioritizing digital service over other objectives, noting there are parts of his first district that don’t even have reliable water service or paved streets. “We can’t get fire, the sheriff and medics out to some of these homes,” Jeffries said. He also doubted that the county’s business climate would improve markedly with RIVCOconnect, given the fact “we’re fighting a trend in California that’s hostile to business and job creation.” “This might help, but I’m not convinced that making it easier to log on is going to change our county’s problems,” Jeffries said. He was ultimately doubtful about streamlining the permitting process, as well,

complaining that the Department of Planning still averages “three, five or six years” to approve permits, even for smaller projects. Supervisors John Benoit and Chuck Washington expressed general support for RIVCOconnect; the latter saying it was essential to “create an environment that’s more welcoming to economic development and attracts high-tech businesses.” The board unanimously approved a “not-to-exceed” $250,000 expenditure by the Department of Information Technology for outside legal services provided by Riversidebased Best, Best & Krieger, with whom the county routinely contracts for assistance. BB&K will be responsible for drawing up the overall broadband master plan and submitting it as a proposal on which telecommunications firms can bid. Jeffries requested quarterly or semiannual updates on progress toward implementation when RIVCOconnect finally takes shape.

“It’s been quite a journey and I am so proud of him,” said AJ Truax, wife of honoree Bernie L. Truax II, who was named 2016 Distinguished Citizen of the Year. The two have been married for 40 years. Paul Bandong photo

proudly announced his 30 years of sobriety and his wife AJ and his son recently receiving their “30 year chips… My wife is a saint – she’s put up with me for 40 years!” Truax and his wife own and operate AJ’s Amethyst House, a recovery center for women as well as Riverside Recovery Resource. Truax is also active in mentoring at Alcoholics Anonymous. In addition to his vision for the development of Old Town, Truax serves on the board of directors for the Old Town Theatre and the Temecula Symphony (now known as the Inland Valley Symphony). Truax has a heart and a vision for the growth of arts, culture and events in the area. Truax was previously nominated for the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce 2015 Citizen of the Year. In May 2016, he received an Award of Appreciation from the City of Temecula, Community Services Commission for supporting programs in arts, culture and events. “We are a part of this community and the legacy I want to leave is buildings that are not just shade and shelter, but stand the test of time; a legacy of a company with a culture that makes a difference that people want to work in that my children and grandchildren would have the opportunity to work in; a legacy of faith and a family name that they can be proud of,” Truax said. “I can’t thank people enough for what they said tonight,” admitted Truax, “I am so humbled.”

The midway point of the 2016 high school football season has come and gone and the true tests now await. While there were a handful of games in Week Five, which saw Temecula Valley pick up their first win of the season as well as California Lutheran in the 8-Man Agape League, it also saw a few other teams’ position themselves as league play gets set start this week. Of the 25 teams in our coverage area, 15 of them had the week off to go over extra films, stalk their opponents and rest for the final five weeks of the regular season. Great Oak was another victim of the local homecoming game curse as they fell in overtime and Murrieta Mesa moved into a two-way tie in the

Southwestern League with their win. Excitement is mounting in the South Valley League as Rancho Christian (3-2), Santa Rosa and CMI all now sit in a three way tie for second place once the dust settled after Week Five action. In the Mountain Pass League, the San Jacinto Tigers (5-0) are now the clear front runner with their unblemished record in the preseason and are three games ahead of their league counterparts and in the final game of the week, Hamilton of the Arrowhead League trounced Nuview Bridge to better the Bobcat’s record by one, giving them two wins on the season now.

Patriots show improvement in 21-14 loss to Red Hawks Paul Bandong SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The visiting Mountain Empire Red Hawks (2-3) held on for a 21-14 victory over the Temecula Prep Patriots (2-2) in a nonconference game. Despite the numbers on the scoreboard, things are looking up for the Patriots who had lost 44-0 to the Red Hawks the previous year. The Patriots’ football program that had struggled in the past to field a team, due to lack of numbers, now has a roster approaching 30 players. According to Temecula Prep Athletic Director JJ Santa Cruz, new Head Coach Trent Driver is laying a solid foundation of fundamentals, instilling confidence and making football fun for the emerging program. The Red Hawks’ Dallas Prince returned the opening kick-off to the 46 and returning QB Victor Parra completed three passes in a row to different receivers and then ran for a fourth first down. The Patriots’ defense stiffened and forced a field goal attempt by Wyatt Aguilar from the 30-yard line that fell short. The Patriots took over on the 20yard line, but four penalties later, were forced to punt from deep in their own end zone. A punt block and recovery in the end zone by Prince put the Red Hawks up 7-0 after a successful PAT. The Patriots then drove 80 yards on 13 plays behind the strong running

of Justin Anderson, who found the end zone from the five just seconds before the end of the period. The snap for PAT was high, 7-6 Mountain Empire. The Patriots defense forced a punt on the Red Hawks first possession of the second period and the offense drove 53 yards in seven plays with QB Bryan Langmead finding Oliver Callison in the end zone on a thirdand-goal TD pass. Dylan Redman found the end zone on the two-point conversion to put the Patriots up 14-7 heading into halftime. An interception by Michael Stogsdill stalled a huge Patriots’ drive and Parra struck quickly on a 35-yd pass to Powell to tie the game at 14 with 3:55 left in the third. The Patriots next drive was also cut short by Blake Jerrell’s interception at midfield. Aguilar missed a 30-yard field goal attempt to close out the period. On a gutsy call early in the fourth quarter and deep in Red Hawk territory, the Patriots, who were having trouble with their punt game (two blocks), attempted a QB sweep around the left end and Langmead came up short. “We were successful with that play and it was open again,” said Driver, “We needed our backs to make some blocks.” The Red Hawks took advantage of the short field and scored five plays later on a pass from Parra to Ers-

barger for the go ahead score, 21-14. Anderson led all rushers with 20 carries and 80 overall yards. The Patriots rushing attack also featured key contributions by Nick Saldevar, Chris Williams, Langmead and Redman. For the Red Hawks, Parra passed for over 135 yards and two TD’s. “We were surprised at the fourth down call,” said Red Hawks coach Bernard Vann, “but were happy to

take advantage of the opportunity for the game-winning score!” Vann remarked that his team was young with a lot to learn but getting better each week. “We need to learn how to win,” said Driver, “Winning instills confidence. Winning cures everything.” The Patriots open South Valley League play next week at Calvary Murrieta (4-1). The Warriors’ dual

threat QB Adam Schwab has passed for 907 yards and 9 Td’s and rushed for 236 yards and five TD’s. Running back Micah Roth has rushed for 547 yards and six TD’s and caught 10 passes for 192 yards and two more TD’s. Teammate Brayden Campos has over 758 all-purpose yards and has accounted for 30 TD points and 21 kicking points.

Valley News ‘Athlete of the Week’ campaign underway, powered by RedLine Athletics JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

During the rest of the 201617 school year the Valley News Sports Department will be teaming up with RedLine Athletics to seek out an ‘Athlete of the Week,’ each week, when league play takes place during the fall, winter and spring sports seasons. Primarily, there will be a five week portion of the season where all the local sports teams go head to head with their league counterparts, thus allotting for 15 student athletes to be recognized during the school year. Each ‘Athlete of the Week’ will be recognized by both the Valley News and RedLine Athletics, who will also permit each student athlete to enjoy a one-month free membership will all the benefits, plus a free up front evaluation done by a member of their professional staff. A local student athlete can only win once and must be a high school athlete meeting all academic/athletic standards set forth by the Southern Section of the CIF, as well as their school. “This is very exciting for all of us here at RedLine Athletics, to not only team up with the Valley News and DH Graphics in Mur-

rieta, but to be able to get these athletes in our facility to put our trainers to the test. These athletes will of course be very defined individuals already, we know that, but to be able to offer them perhaps a more structured workout regimen will be the overall main focus,” says RedLine Regional Developer, Carlos Benavides. The Temecula RedLine location boasts a variety of former professional and collegiate ath-

daments for athletes to follow. The Temecula facility has a high intensity training area, two batting cages, full court basketball, full court volleyball and a comprehensive strength room along with some great opportunities to get families in the door, which makes them the perfect fit for the first ever ‘Athlete of the Week’ campaign from the Valley News. DH Graphics in Murrieta will be providing the screen printing for

letes as mentors with a training philosophy that revolves around its trademark motto: SPEED, POWER, CORE. They also provide a number of different classes, private training lessons – high intensity athletic training, semi-private lessons, studio Pilates – and free athletic evaluations by their professional training staff. RedLine also takes their training online with a blog that focuses on important fun-

the shirts that each ‘Athlete of the Week’ will be presented with, once chosen. Top performances will be voted on by the members of the Valley News Sports Department each week and presentations will be made by the selected athletes’ next contest. Nominations can also be made immediately following any contest via Twitter by adding/ tagging @v_n_sports or by emailing Sports@ReederMedia.com.

a packed house at Vista Murrieta High School, Kim Goodnough, Director of Michelle’s Place, talked to nearly 700 local volleyball girls and their families about breast cancer awareness. Afterward, seniors from the participating schools gathered in front of those in attendance and shared their stories about some of the challenges in their lives or their family’s lives from the disease. “For Michelle’s Place to be a part of this, it is such a blessing. I am so honored to be here year after year with so many girls and athletes that all come together for this cause,” exclaimed Goodnough. Lake Elsinore Head Coach, Renee Horton, helped guide the girls through the infamous Pink Glove

Interest in the sport of volleyball in the valley has increased dramatically over the past few years, with the addition of local training centers as well as middle, elementary school leagues and club teams for girls and boys in the area, it’s no wonder the sport is gaining popularity. With the popularity, the competitive drive ensues and this year in the high school realm the competition is the fiercest it’s been in a while with teams finding themselves going deep into sets during every match, no matter the league. As the competition does heat up, one

outstanding event surfaces this time each year to bring the girls in the valley together for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, just before league match-ups begin. For the ninth straight year local girls’ volleyball teams from 10 participating high schools will be participating in “Play for the Cure” games, which will raise money for the Stephanie Horton Foundation as well as Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center. Participating schools include Chaparral, Lakeside, Murrieta Mesa, Murrieta Valley, Great Oak, Temecula Valley, Linfield Christian, Vista Murrieta, Elsinore and Temescal Canyon.

Temecula Valley High School played host to this season’s first Southwestern League cross-country meet, but it would be Chaparral and Great Oak that would see success on the Golden Bears home course. In what was a shock to the league, seeing as how Great Oak has primarily dominated the area for quite a few years now, the Chaparral Boys cross-country team ran away with a one-point victory thanks to an incredible final push to upset Great Oak in this season’s first Southwestern League meet. Chaparral juniors Antonio Carbajal and Marod Jackson paced the Pumas, finishing third and fourth overall, while seniors Josh Frey and Zaki Payne came in seventh and eighth place. Teammate and fellow Puma, senior Ryan Reyes, secured the victory with his 15th place finish. Great Oak did finish in second place overall, Vista Murrieta took

third, but it would be the Broncos junior standout, Edgard Villa, who was the overall individual winner. Villa wound up finishing with a time of 15:11.84. Senior Alvin Yu from Great Oak placed second as teammate Gavin Korby took fifth. Donovan Miller from Vista Murrieta took sixth place. “Great Oak has a great group of boys, I expect to see them in the CIF finals this year,” says Great Oak Head Coach, Doug Soles. Team Standings: Chaparral – 37, Great Oak – 38, Vista Murrieta – 49, Murrieta Mesa – 110, Murrieta Valley – 123. Great Oak maintained their longtime front runner status on the girl’s course, edging out Vista Murrieta 35-42, in Wednesday afternoon’s first Southwestern League meet of the year. With a couple girls out sick, and a good amount of their top runners resting for Stanford this week, Great Oak’s Maya Ambroziak placed fourth while teammates Fatima Cortez (Fifth), Sarah Workman (Seventh), Arianna Griffiths (Eighth) and Jessica Janecek (11th) all helped secure the win. Bronco junior Annabelle Werner was the individual winner with a time of 18.01 as Chaparral senior, Zoe Jarvis, placed second with a time of 18.08, followed by sophomore Caitlan Billman from Murrieta Valley (18.24). Vista Murrieta finished overall with a strong second place outing as Nadine Dubon took sixth for the Broncos, Ariel Van Riper came in ninth and Peyton Candaele finished in 12th place. Chaparral’s Grace Handler came across in 10th. The Pumas finished in third overall, followed by Temecula Valley, Murrieta Valley and Murrieta Mesa. Team Standings: Great Oak – 35,

Vista Murrieta – 42, Chaparral – 89, Temecula Valley – 95, Murrieta Valley – 98, Murrieta Mesa – 175.

dance, and also spoke on behalf of the Kim Horton foundation, which honors her late mom. Kim Horton coached Elsinore to nine league titles and one CIFSouthern Section title and took each of her 10 teams to the playoffs. She died in 2013 after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. T-shirts with the “Believe” motto on them, including each school, will be available for purchase at home games across the valley and each school will sign the “Believe” posters that hang at the home gyms during their “Play for the Cure” matches. “All shirt sale proceeds will go to the Kim Horton foundation and funds through “Go Pink” ribbon sales will be donated to Michelle’s Place,” added Goodnough. Take some time this October to get out and support the local High School Volleyball teams as they ask for everyone to do their part in helping to find a cure. To find out more information about the “Pink Out” games, contact Coach Stephanie Benjamin from the Chaparral Volleyball program via email at

Health

Time to review your Medicare coverage Cate Kortzeborn SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS Sometime in late October, I’ll host the 12th Annual Friends of Elaine Kortzeborn Medicare Open Enrollment Party. Every year since 2005, I’ve helped a dozen or so my mom’s buddies review their Medicare Part D prescription drug insurance and make sure it still works for them. At first, I ran into some resistance. Mom’s friends didn’t want to bother. They had coverage and didn’t see why they needed to keep checking their drug plans. After a couple of years, though that attitude disappeared. We kept finding that, every year, their health needs changed and so did the list of drugs covered by their plans. Shopping among the numerous plans and choosing the right one could mean saving hundreds of dollars a year.

Now, everyone’s on board to make sure they have coverage that’s right for them. All this is just my way of reminding you that Medicare’s annual open enrollment season begins Oct. 15 and runs through Dec. 7. This is the time every year when you can sign up for a new Medicare drug or health plan, or switch the one you have now. Any new coverage you select will take effect Jan. 1, 2017. In addition to Part D drug plans, open enrollment applies to Medicare Advantage health plans, which are essentially managed care plans run by private insurers approved by Medicare. If you have original (traditional) Medicare and you’re satisfied with it, you don’t need to do anything during open enrollment. If you have a Medicare Advantage health plan or Part D drug plan, keep in mind that these plans can

make changes each year, including what they cover, how much they charge for monthly premiums and deductibles, and which doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies are in their networks. Always review the materials your health or drug plan sends you, like the “Evidence of Coverage” and “Annual Notice of Change.” Make sure your plan still meets what you anticipate will be your health needs for next year. If you’re satisfied with your current plan, and your insurer is still offering it in 2017, you don’t need to make any changes. Here are resources to help you compare your current coverage with new plan offerings for 2017. You can: Visit www.medicare.gov to review drug and health plans, including costs, available in your area and enroll in a new plan if you decide to. This information will be live on

Breast cancer research seeks to tie imaging with predictions Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

University of Chicago professor of radiology and medical physics Maryellen Giger was one of the plenary speakers at the SPIE optical science annual conference Aug. 28 through Sept. 1 at the San Diego Convention Center, and her Aug. 30 talk “CAD and Radiomics in Breast Cancer Imaging” addressed the search for relationships between mammographic imaging results and predictive risks. “We want to ask questions about the relationships between features seen in the medical images,” Giger said. “We want to find for each patient the right treatment at the right time.” Radiomics is the high-throughput conversion of images to measurable data. Computer-aided design includes computer-aided detection and computer-aided diagnosis.

Computer-aided detection identifies areas of interest. “We want to use all the information to develop new predictive methods,” Giger said. “In computer-aided detection, we’re looking to aid the radiologist.” Computer-aided diagnosis involves the image being fed to a computer with the results shown to the radiologist. Giger was on a University of Chicago team which developed a prototype system in 1994; the radiologist would first look at the image without the computer input and would then re-interpret the image once the computer data was added. A better determination of whether a tumor is benign or malignant has allowed the radiologist to define a management plan for the patient. The University of Chicago researchers are working on a computer program to determine the chance of malignancy and to evaluate the success of the

radiologists’ determinations. Image-based predictions can utilize factors such as lesion size, texture, and the shape of the tumor. “We want to ask questions about the relationships between features seen in the medical images and the history of cancer,” Giger said. The density of a breast is suspected to be a factor in the risk of breast

graphic density. “The UGT2b gene variation may contribute to variation in mammographic parenchymal patterns and breast density,” Giger said. “We’re trying to relate the imaging features to the genomic features.” The work includes utilizing fourdimensional images, or three-dimensional images over time, to analyze tumors.

Who can you trust to help you with your Medical Insurance Needs? TesTimonial “We never realized how much difference it would mean to have the right medical group on your side. 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. The right insurance group is important and having a knowledgeable caring person like Charise on your side is invaluable.” - The Thomas’

Blotter Three vehicle accident slows I-15 traffic to crawl Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

TEMECULA – A three vehicle traffic accident on the southbound I-15 Freeway north of Santiago Boulevard had traffic backed up nearly two and one-half miles to Winchester Road until the damaged vehicles could be removed from the roadway Sept. 23. Traffic was reportedly moving along at single digit speeds after the accident. A California Highway Patrol incident log indicated the accident,

which involved three vehicles, was reported to dispatchers at 7:16 p.m. Two of the cars were left blocking the No. 1 and two lanes of traffic. The third car was left blocking the No. 4 lane of traffic, causing traffic to funnel down to the No. 3 lane of traffic. Further hampering traffic, 911 callers reported the victims of the accident were out of their vehicles and walking around near the center divider of the freeway and on the right side of the freeway. At 7:18 p.m. one of the drivers involved in the accident, who had been driving a white Mazda CX5

The first CHP officer arrived at the crash scene at 7:32 p.m. to begin an accident investigation. There were no injuries reported in the collision. All three of the damaged cars were eventually towed from the accident scene and CHP officers updated that all lanes of traffic were opened at 8:06 p.m.

Deputies assigned to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Lake Elsinore Police Station’s Special Enforcement Team arrested two subjects at a business in the 18000 block of Collier Avenue Sept. 27. The two were arrested after trying to steal merchandise from the business and for outstanding felony warrants. Christopher Gordon Franklin, 48, of Lake Elsinore for allegedly stealing electronics from a retail store and Erin Kathryn Mackenzie, 31 of Temecula were both booked into jail after the incident. The incident began when SET deputies were flagged down by loss prevention officers at a retail store. The loss prevention officers told the deputies that a male inside the store had taken electronics items from the store and concealed them within his clothing. The deputies stopped the subject as he exited the store with the stolen items still in his possession,

according to Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant James Woodland. Deputies detained Franklin for further investigation. While the deputies were speaking with Franklin, they observed Mackenzie exiting the store. The deputies recognized Mackenzie as a wanted felon. Deputies detained her for further investigation. At the conclusion of their investigation, deputies arrested Franklin for theft and violation of probation. They also arrested Mackenzie for her for outstanding felony warrants for robbery and possession of stolen property. Both subjects were transported to the Southwest Detention Center and booked for their charges. Anyone with information about this investigation is encouraged to contact Officer Darrin Miller at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station at (951) 245-3300.

TEMECULA – The benefits of dog training extend to both the owner and the animal engaged in the training. A body of evidence suggests that dogs that are properly trained are happier than those that are not trained because trained dogs know boundaries and what to expect each day. Dog trainers and animal experts routinely point to lack of structure in a dog’s life as the main reasons why pets engage in poor behavior or develop unsavory dispositions. Dogs that exhibit improper behavior may be classified as troubled and are more likely to end up in shelters or rescues. Proper training can remove many of the challenges owners and pets face together. Dogs are not only intelligent animals, but also social ones. Dogs come from a wellestablished lineage of pack animals, according to pet food manufacturer Canidae. Like their close cousins, the wolves, dogs inherently fit into a social order within a pack. Without parameters, dogs can be unstable, confused and always in conflict. Pet owners who establish themselves as the pack leader and provide consistent instruction and control

can improve their dogs’ lives. Pet owners can make decisions for their dogs while making sure they, and not the dogs, are the ones in control. Eat first, win games of tug of war, provide correction when the rules aren’t followed, and move the dog out of the way if you need to get by. Establishing dominance should not be mistaken for cruelty. All in all, training and obedience will strengthen the bond between pet and owner. And the more reliable and trustworthy the dog’s behavior, the greater freedom he or she can be given – which can lead to a happier life.

Becoming informed essential part of a voter’s responsibility Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Every couple of years I get the pleasure of reminding my children about the responsibility of voting. Apparently those lectures where their little eyes gloss over and they appear to be incredibly bored have paid off as all of them who are old enough are now registered voters and can carry on an intelligent conversation as to which candidate they prefer and why. We always stressed the importance of voting to our children as we feel it’s part of our responsibility as citizens to have a say in who will lead our country, our state and our city, as well as to have input on things like tax measures, school issues and even plastic bag bans. We looked at talking to our children about voting as just another step in the parenting process, just like

discipline and forcing them to eat those dreaded lima beans. I remember going to the polls with my parents in the old green Dodge Dart. My sisters and I would eagerly wait in line to see what went on behind those curtains separating the booths at Grandview Elementary School in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, where we lived during the first few years of my life. Much to my disappointment, I never got to see behind the curtain until I was much older, 18 to be exact. When it was my parent’s turn, my sisters and I were told to sit on the bleachers and behave ourselves while our parents went and did their civic duty. Back in those days you did what you were told, so we went and sat. What we did while we waited probably couldn’t be counted as behaving though as there was lots of hair pulling and pinching involved.

After our parents came out of their booths and deposited their ballots into the ballot box, I remember asking my dad who he voted for. “I am not going to tell you that because it’s none of your business,” he said as he reminded me that the two things you never talk about in polite company were politics and religion. I never asked my parents who they voted for after that, but it always kind of bothered me that no one would explain to me why my dad wouldn’t tell me who he voted for. Once I had my own children, I vowed to myself, I would make sure that they understood politics. I kept that vow to myself. When my boys were little, I took them to the polls with me, the curtains were long gone and instead of a paper ballot, most places I voted at used machines, with the exception of my

current polling place which only has a handful of them. Now that I am older, I understand why my dad said what he said to me. We talked about it once and he said he doesn’t ever want to influence someone’s decision as to who to vote for. It makes sense to me, so when my own children would ask me who I voted for, I never told them. Instead of just telling them, “it’s none of your business,” I would tell them that I couldn’t tell them because it was up to them to do their own research and choose a candidate to vote for. When they were little, they found great fun in predicting the winner based on looks or some other worthless system that could only be devised in the mind of a 7-year-old. But, as they got older, things got interesting. We would look at all of the candidates together and sit and have a discussion about their

Our wild horses and burros are on the brink of extinction again despite Bureau of Land Management’s lies to the American people that they are overpopulated and destroying the environment. In fact, BLM has been caught in another lie concerning our wild horses. They have been investigated by the Office of Inspector General and found guilty for illegal transport of 1,700 wild horses using tax dollars to a known kill buyer Tom Davis. Congressman Ken Calvert is the chairman who sits and oversees the Interior, Environment and Related Agency’s that appropriates hard earned tax dollars to rounding up wild horses and burros. He’s also big on reopening horse slaughter in the U.S. and that is one of the reason’s the Safeguard Americas Food

Export Act (the Safe Act) which is in his committee does not get any attention while $80 million a year of your tax dollars is appropriated to the BLM to remove our wild horses and burros. This Act would stop horse slaughter and protect the health of Americans from pathogens which are in horse meat. Our meat industry is in such a sorry shamble that it is estimated over 3,000 people die from foodborne illnesses. National Joint Council of Food Inspection Locals can be found online at njcfil.com/. Six hundred meat inspectors have been laid off in the last few years and food processors, beholden to their companies, are now inspecting your meat for foodborne pathogens. It’s time to tell Ken Calvert that

you want a representative who cares more for the health of his people than rounding up wild horses and burros and a good way to show that is to co-sponsor the Safe Act and get his cronies in that committee to pass that Act out of his committee before it dies at the end of this year. Instead his Appropriations committee is deliberating now on appropriating our tax dollars toward the killing of 45,000 wild horses and burros in holding. All this with your hard earned money. Are you mad yet? Call Calvert and his committee members and let them know you’d rather see your money going to projects which enhance America’s food protection at (202) 225-3081 Sincerely, Annie Griffin

Letter to the editor Dear Editor, Forty-five thousand wild horses and burros are on the chopping block with our hard earned tax dollars all because international and national corporations want their public lands (Herd Areas) designated to them by the American people under the Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971. Under the WFRHB Act of 1971 around 53 million acres were designated to these animals to preserve their linage because they were on the brink of extinction. They were to be given ‘devoted principal presence’ on these lands, meaning that livestock, oil and mining got secondary usage. (See section C of The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 online at www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov/92-195.htm.

choices, who they liked, who they didn’t and why. They thought it was great fun to have these political debates with their dad and myself, I did too. The best thing to come out of it all was my children learned how to be informed voters. The youngest of my boys will cast his first vote this election cycle and I see him looking at candidate’s websites, reading newspaper articles and he even tuning in to the debate with us last week, though I did see his eyes gloss over once or twice and some eye rolls when he thought the candidate speaking was full of baloney. I’m proud to see him preparing to do his civic duty for the first time and even prouder that he is doing his research before casting his vote. In my opinion, being an informed voter is the best way to make change happen in our country and if a bunch of millennials and Gen Z youngsters can do their research and become informed voters, I think we all can too. But hey, it’s only my opinion. w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

Though we have some of the best medical care in the world, accessing that care can be problematic for millions of Californians. As a member of the Assembly Health Committee, creating access to quality affordable health care is one of my biggest concerns. The rising cost of care, out-of-date drug formularies, new treatments that initially may not be covered by health plans or approved by the Department of Health Care Services, often stand as impediments to needed medical treatment. Each year I have championed the cause of improving access to innovative treatments for all our citizens which includes streamlining the appeals processes for patients, increasing the doctor’s authority in getting the best treatment for their patients upfront and advocating for Medi-Cal coverage of new treatments sooner rather than forcing patients to undergo fail-first regimens. Access to care is impeded due to the lack of doctors or dentists who accept Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal. As more people have moved onto MediCal managed care plans, a two-tier system of health care has been created. In 2011, when California was wallowing in a sea of red ink, our already low Medi-Cal provider reimbursement rates were cut up to 10 percent. These cuts devastated many care providers, including some right here in this region. Because of this, many doctors began to limit the number of Medi-Cal patients they would treat. Patients who can afford private health care plans can access doctors with the resources to obtain a higher tier of treatment, while Medi-Cal patients often aren’t able to access the same resources or innovations. In fact, some of our citizens must travel over 50 miles just to find a single Denti-Cal dentist. This is wrong and I have joined many of my colleagues in standing up for increased Medi-Cal reimbursements. I will continue to introduce and support legislation to modernize California’s health care system to improve access and save taxpayer dollars. In fact, I am happy to report that legislation I co-authored to increase access to life saving clinical trials for underserved communities was just signed by the Governor. This problem can be solved, but only if we work together to give health care the priority status it deserves.

Entertainment Greek Festival coming to town with ‘Remembering Our Fallen’ traveling photo memorial of pastry prizes California heroes on display at Promenade Temecula Perry Peters SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

TEMECULA – The Veterans of Foreign Wars of Temecula Valley, VFW Post 4089, will host the unveiling of a very emotional memorial “Remembering Our Fallen” Oct. 8. The memorial is a stark reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by over 700 fallen military heroes from California. John Hernandez, commander of VFW Post 4089, said “This photo memorial is of the many selfless American heroes from California who fought for our country and freedom and ultimately suffered the most devastating sacrifice any man, woman and family could possibly endure.” Co-sponsored by VFW Post 4089, the City of Temecula, and Promenade Temecula, the photo memorial includes military and personal photos of each of the fallen service members from California. Temecula Councilmember Michael McCracken, a veteran and member of the city’s military ad- hoc subcommittee said, “This moving memorial is a touching reminder of the many brave military heroes who lost their lives to protect us all.” The men and women displayed on this 230-foot long memorial wore our country’s uniform proudly and made the ultimate sacrifice, being killed in the line of duty while fighting the war on terror. “Hosting this memorial at the Promenade Temecula is quite relevant to those who are out enjoy-

ing their daily lives, as I imagine they will slow down to respect and appreciate the significance of their freedom made possible by those depicted on this memorial,” Temecula Councilmember Jeff Comerchero said. He is also a veteran and member of the city’s military subcommittee. The opening ceremony will be held Oct. 8, at 9 a.m. on the first floor of the Promenade Mall, located at 40820 Winchester Road, directly in front of JC Penney. “The “Remembering Our Fallen” Memorial is also a tribute to the families left behind, and we respectfully and sincerely thank them all,” McCracken said. Commander Hernandez said, “The VFW appreciates the venue at the mall, and the collaboration by the City of Temecula, so that we can bring this very meaningful memorial to our residents.” “Remembering Our Fallen” California Memorial displays 717 fallen heroes who were from California. The memorial is traveling throughout the state, and will remain at Promenade Temecula until Oct. 14. Comerchero said, “May we never forget the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.” For more information about hosting or sponsoring this traveling memorial, please visit www.

How sweet it is! We’re talking about the Greek Festival, a popular family event held annually in Temecula since the early nineties. Each year, the Greek Festival has grown bigger and better, organizers said. The growing crowds eventually became too large for the community recreation center at Ronald Reagan Sports Park so organizers moved the popular festival to the Temecula City Hall area several years ago. Dates of the festival this year are Saturday, Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 16, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is only $2 per person, with kids under 12 getting in for half price, making this festival not only a fun way to spend the day with family and friends, but an affordable one too. Once festivalgoers step onto the grounds of the event, they will feel like they have stepped into a Greek village. No visa is needed for this journey which gives a glimpse into Greek life complete with live folk music, dancing, food booths and games for children. The Greek Festival offers something for everyone One feature of the festival that receives perhaps the most attention each year is the variety of unusual and delicious Greek cuisine available which features such mouthwatering delicacies as Spanakopita – phyllo dough layered with herb seasoned spinach and a blend of cheeses, Moussaka – layers of eggplant and Greek-seasoned ground beef topped with a creamy bechamel sauce and baklava – walnuts in layers of phyllo and cinnamon dipped in syrup. Also on the menu this year is pork and chicken souvlakia – better known to some as shish kebab – pastitsio, gyro sandwiches on pita bread, feta cheese fries, Greek salad, dolmathes, tiropita and so much more. The highly popular varieties of

Visitors lined up for food, enjoying traditional Greek food prepared by the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church members. Family recipes and true flavors make this a must attend for lovers of Greek food.

High School students performed traditional dances for the audience at the Temecula Greek Festival on Saturday, Oct. 17. Valley News/file photo

sweets include the famous aforementioned baklava, melomacarona, kourambiethes, kataifi, galactobouriko and karithopita. When coming to the festival this year, look for the new contests. The first offers a prize to the person who makes the best guess on how many eggplants have been used to make the moussaka, a yummy Greek favorite. The announcement of the prize winner will be at 6 p.m. on Saturday and the winner receives a variety of pastries. On Sunday, another contest will offer a prize to the one who guesses how many pounds of feta cheese have been used to make Spanakopita, Tiropita,

Feta Fries and Greek salad. This winner will also get a variety of pastries and winner will be called out at 5 p.m. And remember, even if you don’t win the prize, festivalgoers will go home after experiencing a very happy and memorable time. The Greek Festival will be held at the Temecula Old Town City Hall, 41000 Main St. in Temecula. Free Parking is available in the Old Town Garage.

Murrieta is new home of Avocado Half Marathon Tom Ferrall TFERRALL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Avocado Half Marathon and 5K, held in Fallbrook in 2014 and 2015, will have its third running in Murrieta on Feb. 25, 2017. Andrew Pettersen, CEO of race organizer GMP Marketing, announced the city of Murrieta as the new host of the event in an email to runners Sept. 23. Pettersen had planned to run the race in Fallbrook in 2016 – it was originally scheduled for May and then postponed until September – but announced Sept. 13 that he was moving the race out of San Diego County because he no longer wanted to work with the county’s Department of Public Works, which he said made putting on the event “near impossible.” The Murrieta Avocado Half

Marathon and 5K will begin and end in the city’s Town Square Park. The half-marathon will start at 7 a.m. and the 5K at approximately 7:10 a.m. “We are happy to see the Avocado Half & 5K relocate to beautiful Murrieta,” said Laura Frasso, community event coordinator for the city of Murrieta. “We think the routes that were agreed upon will satisfy all levels of runners and will showcase the exceptional qualities of the city. The city of Murrieta hopes that this new event will inspire others to get active and help make Murrieta an even finer place to live, work and play.” Runners interested in participating in the Murrieta races should visit: www.avocadohalfand5K. com.

Dining in the Valley Ways to pack a healthy lunchbox

Hummus and veggies make a tasty sandwich on a multigrain round of bread. Thinkstock/Magone photo

Lucette Moramarco lmoramarco@reedermedia.com

ith schools back in session, some parents may be looking for tips on filling their children’s lunch boxes, but students aren’t the only ones who take lunch with them when they leave home in the morning. I have been making my own lunch since I started first grade (that’s what happens when you are the sixth of

10 children and Mom gets tired of making lunches). My lunches weren’t very healthy back then (sandwich, chips and cookies), and prepackaged lunch items later on weren’t much better for me. Needless to say, as I got older, my lunches got healthier. Like many working adults, I pack my own lunch to save time and money. I have learned along the way to try new food combinations and to make the dishes myself as my

stomach feels a lot better when I stay away from sodium and other preservatives. I pack my lunch the night before to save time getting ready in the morning and have two different lunch boxes to accommodate different sized food containers. While plastic ones are lighter to carry, I have found glass containers to be easier to wash or put in the dishwasher. There is some concern now about chemicals from some kinds of plastics leaching into food with microwave use which makes using glass even more appealing. Some foods come in their own containers, like yogurt, which I have for a snack every other day. I recycle the containers but keep a few of them to put whole fruit in like apples, peaches, or pears to protect them in my lunch box. For people who like fruit salad and cute containers, mason jars of different sizes are now being used for fresh food, not just for canning. Salads in a jar are also a popular way to eat healthy. Chopped salads are common and tend to stay fresh longer than traditional salad. The packaged ones from the store are very convenient for splitting into two servings for a filling lunch. Salads are also easy to eat when

wrapped in a tortilla. The versatile wrap can also contain leftovers from dinner to be warmed up, or sandwich ingredients (sliced meats, cheeses, lettuce and other veggies). Putting the salad dressing between leaves of lettuce helps keep the rest of the wrap from getting soggy. Or, instead of dressing, hummus can be used on a wrap or a sandwich for added taste. I like having hummus and crackers or refried beans with cheese to eat with tortilla chips along with cut up veggies like carrots, jicama, celery and radishes. One combination I came up with back when I was teaching preschool is coleslaw with tuna in it. I use bagged slaw and

bottled poppy seed dressing, mixing in canned tuna for an easy meal. Another innovation my sister and I came up with was rolled burritos. We spread refried beans on the tortilla, add cheese and chopped onion then roll it up. They heat up faster than a burrito and are easier to handle when eating. Quesadillas are also good and can be eaten hot or cold, with or without avocado on top. Of course avocados go great in wraps and on salads and sandwiches. When I have some good avocados, I bring half of one with me to work along with two slices of bread which I toast before covering with sliced avocado, which tastes good without adding anything to it. My dad had a touchy stomach (which he blamed on his time in the Navy) so we didn’t eat spicy foods at home when I was growing up and I still don’t eat them. Dad didn’t eat hummus or refried beans, but he liked a unique sandwich of peanut butter and lettuce on bread which I like to have every once in a while. Some people like peanut butter and bananas together – it’s a matter of taste and everyone has their own favorite lunch to take with them. Planning ahead and taking a list to the grocery store will help but making a fun, healthy and interesting lunch is limited only by one’s imagination and the food in their kitchen.

ism economy. The report profiles vineyards and wineries, includes one-third of vintners reporting annual revenue of $3 million or more, and about one-third between $1.5 million and $3 million. Most Temecula Valley wineries are small by California wine industry standards with nearly 60 percent selling between 5,000 and 9,999 cases of wine each year directly to consumers. “The release of the new, Temecula Valley Wine Country Impact Report is especially timely and informative as we celebrate California Wine Month and the Temecula Valley Southern California wine region’s scenic vineyards, awardwinning wines and welcoming, friendly wineries,” announced Ben Drake, president of the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association and Drake Enterprises, Inc., a Temecula Valley vineyard management company. “Our southern California location, the easily navigated, contiguous nature of our vineyards and wineries, and 90 percent direct-toconsumer wine sales underscore the popularity of Temecula Valley as a wine region destination,” Drake emphasized. Rather than selling Temecula Valley wines through distribution, the majority of Temecula Valley wineries utilize direct sales. The increased importance of tasting rooms and wine clubs promotes tourism and is an integral component of the Temecula Valley Wine Country visitor economy. “Unique among California wine regions, many Temecula Valley

wineries have on-site restaurants where visitors can experience the pleasures of food and wine with vineyard views,” explained Drake. “While paid wine tastings comprise 54 percent of Temecula Valley winery visitor activities, more than 36 percent of winery visitor activities include winery restaurant dining.” Of 36 Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association member wineries, 14 have on-site restaurants. With more than 60 vineyards and wine grape growers and 2,525 planted and harvested vineyard acres, Temecula Valley harvested approximately 10,000 tons (20 million pounds) of wine grapes in 2015. The agricultural production report published by the Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office places a value of $13 million on the 2015 Temecula Valley wine grape harvest. The majority of growers farming Temecula Valley vineyards sell their wine grapes to Temecula Valley wineries. Almost all Temecula Valley wineries welcome guests to their wineries for wine tasting and other activities. Responses of 10,000 to 49,999 annual guests were reported by 38 percent of Temecula wineries; 50,000 to 99,999 by 34 percent; and 100,000 to 175,000 by 18 percent. Most Temecula Valley wineries (62 percent) are categorized as small, producing 5,000 to 49,999 cases of wine each year; 27 percent, very small, (1,000 to 4,999 cases); 8 percent, “limited production,” (less than 1,000 cases); and 3 percent medium in size (50,000 to

499,000 cases). Annual wine cases sales of 5,000 to 9,999 cases per year were reported at 57 percent of the small Temecula Valley wineries, 10,000 to 19,999 at 29 percent and 20,000 to 34,999 at 14 percent. Temecula Valley wineries employ about one-third of their employees full-time while roughly two-thirds are part-time. More than half (58 percent) work in administration, finance, sales, marketing, production, viticulture and other duties, while 42 percent are hospitality, tasting room and wine club employees. While 33 percent of Temecula Valley wineries see annual revenue of $3 million or more, and 38 percent, between $1 million and $3 million, about 19 percent see between $500,000 and $1 million. These statistics are included in the new Temecula Valley Winegrowers Report prepared by Dean Runyan Associates, a research services firm emphasizing travel and economic development. The representative statistics will guide and support comprehensive marketing and tourism planning efforts by Visit Temecula Valley and the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association. California Wine Month opportunities in Temecula Valley Wine Country for visitors and locals alike include the SIP Temecula Valley Wine Tasting Passport, and Crush on Temecula Valley Wines Restaurant Month throughout September 2016; and the Temecula Valley Winegrowers first People’s Choice Blind Tasting and Awards, Sept. 29.

Education

Three Temecula teachers are awarded CTA Institute for Teaching Grants for the 2016-17 year TEMECULA – Three Temecula teachers are the grant recipients and project coordinators for various California Teachers Association Institute for Teaching Grants in the 2016-17 school year. Molly Newman of Margarita Middle School, along with Sandra Cerny of Temecula Advantage Virtual School and Blaine Boyer of Rancho Vista High School, all members of the Temecula Valley Educators Association, who will act as the fiscal agent for grant expenditures, helped make TVEA the only California local teacher association to receive three member grants for the 2016-17 school year. The sum of the three grants is $28,000. “This is testimony to the quality of work our members do for students and families in this district,” said TVEA President Jeff Kingsberg. “These teachers have committed hours and hours to a rigorous application process including a specific

implementation plan and budget, and now comes the work and reward of executing the grant’s objectives with their students.” Newman is a second-year TVUSD teacher who taught for 18 years previously in the Capistrano and Los Angeles Unified Districts. Her grant will provide curriculum and materials for a “Principles of Engineering” course at Margarita Middle. She stated in her application, “This class will give students an opportunity to experience the applications of Science, Mathematics, Technology, and Engineering in ways that match their natural curiosity and view of the world. Lessons and activities will be designed to engage students in a hands-on cooperative learning format, where they will use the design process to explore solutions for real world problems.” Her grant is for $5,000 and includes a Civil Engineering Blast Off Laboratory and a Renewable Energy Science

Kit in her grant budget. Cerny’s grant, also for $5,000, is titled “Empowering Online Blended Learners.” She will work with colleague Sara Wardak on the implementation. Cerny teaches both English and Spanish at Temecula Advantage and has taught in alternative education since 2010 in the Temecula district. The overarching goal of her grant is to expand positive student interdependence in an educational setting where students primarily work alone. Her application states, “Online blended learners are often challenged with the transition from a traditional classroom environment that relies heavily on a face-to-face teacher support, to one that relies primarily on the student’s ability to learn content independently.” A key objective of the Empowering Online Blended Learners Grant is to implement an academic coach program in targeted subjects. These coaches will be

student leaders who are trained in the Socratic Method, Web 2.0, and leadership skills. Another leg of the grant will implement an orientation and mentoring program that will utilize trained student leaders and orient new students to the virtual learning environment at the site. Boyer, who received a previous CTA Institute for Teaching Grant, will be working with three others in a school-wide approach in coordinating the “Achievement Through the Arts” grant worth $18,000. Teaming with Boyer will be fellow Rancho Vista staff members, including art teacher Patty Doody, at-risk counselor Regina Siez and Parent Teacher Association and community leader Barbara Burkett. This grant will be used to motivate and “hook” at-risk students into the school setting. Going well beyond the standard art class, students will get the opportunity to build their own guitar, decorate it with their

own computer design, and learn to play it. The grant will fund field trips to the Fender Guitar Company on Corona and to the Maker Faire to learn the latest technology in 3D printing and robots. Community members will visit the school monthly to introduce students to new and different forms of art and music with a culminating event in the form of a community Art and Music Expo in which there will be student art and music featured. Boyer, a district teacher since 1994, who received two grants related to teaching students solar power installation from 2012-2015, states about the project, “This will provide an opportunity for the community to not only provide a new interest or skill to our students, but to get to know them. We believe this will enhance the perception of our continuation school students in the greater community.”

High school students are encouraged to propose legislation to be introduced by Senator Jeff Stone TEMECULA – Have you ever said to yourself, “There ought to be a law?” Once again this year high school students from Sen. Jeff Stone’s 28th California Senate District are being encouraged to propose legislation that may become law in California. “There ought to be a law” is open to all high school students in the 28th Senate District. The contest encourages students to submit ideas for improving the quality of life in Riverside County and the State of California. Of course, people of all ages are always welcome to submit

proposals for new legislation to Senator Stone’s office. In fact, the best laws often come from the ideas and experiences of working families, small-business owners, senior citizens, veterans and others. “By asking our high school students to propose new laws, I am hoping to tap into their bright, inquisitive minds and also to inspire them to get involved in politics and public service,” Stone said. “I am looking for proposed legislation that addresses issues on both the local and statewide level.” The deadline for students to submit their proposed legislation

is Dec. 2, 2016; an entry form is available to download or fill out the form online at www.Senate. CA.Gov/Stone. “I will choose at least one of the entries and begin the process of creating legislation to be considered by the California Senate and Assembly and hopefully signed by the Governor,” Stone said. Alyson White, a senior at Rancho Mirage High School, was the winner of last year’s competition. Her proposed law was selected from about 70 entries submitted from across the district. Senate Bill 1395, entitled Alyson’s Law, would

have doubled the fines and prison sentences for those convicted of animal abuse. In April 2016, White and her mother traveled to Sacramento as guests of Stone and testified before the Senate Public Safety Committee in Sacramento. In early 2017, Stone will visit the school of the author of the newest winning entry to further discuss details of their legislation idea. The winner and a parent will be invited to Sacramento to testify on behalf of their proposed legislation. High school principals, teachers and staff can contact John Hunneman, communications di-

rector for the senator’s office, for additional information. Email him at john.hunneman@sen.ca.gov or call at (951) 894-3530. Jeff Stone was elected to represent California’s 28th Senate District in November 2014.The district, which is entirely in Riverside County, stretches from the vineyards of the Temecula Valley to the Colorado River and includes the cities of Blythe, Canyon Lake, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, Lake Elsinore, La Quinta, Murrieta, Temecula, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Wildomar.

HOME & GARDEN

Finding the right fencing fit Chain-link fences may not add the aesthetic appeal homeowners are looking for, but they are relatively inexpensive, durable and functional.

Many homeowners love wood fencing because of its versatility with regard to design and color.

TEMECULA – Homeowners choose to erect fences on their properties for various reasons. Parents may find fences provide peace of mind during those times when their youngsters are playing in the yard, while other homeowners prefer fences for the privacy they can provide. Whatever compels homeowners to consider fencing for their properties, those that have decided to install fencing will soon realize they have numerous options. Finding the right fencing material for your property requires considering a host of factors, including budget and personal style.

can add some aesthetic appeal and a little privacy. Vinyl Among the more expensive fencing options, vinyl can make up for that initial sticker shock thanks to its durability. In addition, vinyl fences require little maintenance, saving homeowners the expense of paying for upkeep such as repainting. Vinyl fencing comes in various styles, and homeowners can choose the style that best suits their priorities with regard to aesthetic appeal and privacy.

Aluminum Aluminum fencing is ideal for those looking for something that’s both ornamental and functional. Aluminum fencing may not appeal to those homeowners whose biggest priority is privacy, as aluminum fences are not solid walls. But aluminum fences are typically low maintenance, and they can be effective at keeping both children and pets in the yard. Aluminum fences painted with a rust-inhibiting primer may require even less maintenance than aluminum fences painted without primer. Bamboo Bamboo is a less traditional fencing option that may appeal to homeowners who want to do something that is both different and eco-friendly. Bamboo grows naturally, which should appeal to homeowners who want their homes to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible. Bamboo provides ample privacy and comes in various styles. Homeowners should consult with a fencing specialist before choosing a style so they can be certain they choose the most climate-appropriate option. Chain-link Chain-link fences may not add the aesthetic appeal homeowners are looking for, but they are relatively inexpensive, durable and functional. Chain-link fences are low maintenance, though homeowners looking for fences to provide some privacy may need to get creative if they install chain-link fencing. Planting flowers, shrubbery or trees near chain-link fences

Wood Of course, no discussion of fencing would be complete without mentioning wood fencing. Many homeowners love wood fencing because of its versatility with regard to design and color. The options are endless when it comes to crafting wood fencing, which also can be stained in any color homeowners prefer. Wood fencing can be designed not only for homeowners who prioritize privacy, but it also can be crafted for homeowners for whom privacy is not a significant concern. Wood is a relatively inexpensive fencing material, but the maintenance required to keep wood fencing looking great can sometimes be costly and timeconsuming. Options abound for homeowners looking to add fencing to their properties. Homeowners hesitant to choose a material and/or install their own fencing can consult local professionals to find the best fencing fit for their properties.

Six tips to protect the things you love indoors and out Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Whether the family dog gets his muddy paws on the couch, an ice cream cone melts all over the backyard hammock or a sudden storm soaks your new patio cushions, life is filled with unexpected messes. There’s no time like the present to plan ahead so you’re ready for whatever mess life throws your way. Here are some simple steps you can take to protect the things you love both indoors and out, so they last well beyond the season.

Indoors Clean upholstery: Sofas and chairs are vulnerable to surface stains, so cleaning upholstery on a regular basis is important. Start by vacuuming the furniture to remove as much surface debris as possible. Then use a damp, soapy cloth to gently spot treat the fabric, allowing it to soak in, reaching dirt beneath the surface. Once dry, protect the material with Scotchgard Fabric & Upholstery Protector, which helps repel liquids and stains, preventing future messes. Remove rug and carpet stains: Whether it’s red wine, tomato sauce

or berries, spills and dropped food can create unwanted stains, damaging your rugs and carpet. Tackle these messes as soon as they happen with a quick and easy DIY recipe. First, sprinkle the spot with baking soda, let it sit for 10 minutes and then vacuum. Mix a tablespoon of dish soap, a tablespoon of vinegar and two cups of warm water. Blot with a clean sponge until it disappears. Clean your curtains: After using your curtains as a barrier between the outdoors and your living space all summer long, they likely collected dust. Most curtains can be steam cleaned, but taking them down and putting them back up again can be a hassle. To limit this, dust or vacuum your curtains every week

Outdoors Waterproof outdoor fabrics: With cooler temperatures coming, winter elements are sure to make landfall in your backyard. Protect your favorite outdoor cushions with the Scotchgard Outdoor Water Shield – moisture and liquids just roll right off. Protect your footwear: As you break out your suede boots to step out in style this season, keep them looking great by protecting them from salt stains and snow with a water- and oil-repelling leather protector. Care for your car: From muddy boots to coffee spills, messes often make it to car seats and floor mats when we least expect it. To clean these surfaces, mix 2 tablespoons of dish soap with 2 tablespoons of hot water and baking soda. Use a cleaning brush to lightly work through the stain in a circular motion. Wipe the area with a cloth and let the space air dry. To help prevent future stains, use an auto interior fabric protector. Find more tips for protecting the things you love at Scotchgard.com.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

The tax benefits of home ownership Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS Everyone knows that there are tax benefits to owning a home, yet very few first time homebuyers understand the significance of home ownership…for that matter, many move-up buyers don’t really understand the tax benefits of home ownership. Taxes, of course, are unique to every tax payer. There are many tax laws that are constantly changing. You should not rely on this article as advice or your authority to make any decision regarding real estate and tax planning strategies. What this column offers, is insight for when you meet with your tax professional. You’ll be better equipped to ask the right questions and plan the right strategy that works for you. Capital gains As a homeowner, it’s nice to know the most substantial tax benefit will occur upon the sale of your home, assuming it’s for a profit. When you sell, as a married couple, you’ll be able to pocket tax free up to $500,000 in profit from the sale; $250,000 for a single homeowner. If you consider selling just about any other type of investment, you’ll be

taxed on every dollar of profit – typically around 15 percent. The theory behind this exclusion is that most people when they sell one home reinvest the profits into another home. Mortgage interest When you take out a mortgage, you’ll be spending a considerable amount each month on the interest of that loan. The way an amortized loan works is that you’ll be spending more in interest and less on principal during the early years of the loan. This means that most of your payment will be going to interest each month. Most home loan monthly payments are initially more than two-thirds interest – even with a great interest rate, the interest on hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home add up very quickly. Both the federal and California tax laws allow you to deduct all of the interest you pay on your home loan. There are some details to check out that may change from year to year, such as the total amount of interest that may be deducted (currently $1,000,000 for married homeowners). For most of us, we’ll be able to deduct all of the interest we pay on our home, every year from our federal and state taxes. For example, if you borrow $300,000 for a home with a 4 percent interest rate, you can expect to pay somewhere around $11,000 your first year toward interest. If you’re in the 25 percent tax bracket, you can then

deduct about $2,750 off your taxes. Wow, $2,750 – that might represent a month or two in rent you’ve been paying! Home equity loans A home equity loan, a line of credit, a home improvement loan, a second (or third) home loan all have the same benefits as an initial purchase loan. The interest paid is tax deductible. Discount points Discount points are a fee you may have payed to get the loan you got. A point represents 1 percent of the loan amount. Many times, a buyer who is planning on staying in the home for a longer time may ‘pay points’ to ‘buydown’ the interest rate on a loan. In other words, using the $300,000 loan example above, you may have initially qualified for a 5 percent loan but by paying a point in advance ($3,000) you were able to ‘buy-down’ or lower your interest to only 4 percent. Buying down a loan is a great strategy if you are planning on staying in the home for an extended period – typically it balances out in less than five years. However, if the idea is to resell within a couple of years before moving up, then spending the money to buy-down the loan may not be money well spent. Consult with your real estate agent and mortgage professional to help figure out what is best in your situation. The good news is that discount points are tax deductible just like your mortgage interest. One point could save you and extra $500 or more off next year’s tax bill. Property taxes Property taxes are the taxes that are paid to your county/state based on the assessed value of your real estate. While there is much to cover in a discussion about property taxes, suffice it to say that regardless of where you live you can expect to pay property taxes. In California your tax is based on the assessed value. The rates can vary

from city to city and neighborhood to neighborhood, so understand this when you purchase your new home. Rates can be as low as 1 percent and in some cases as high as 3 percent. Using the $300,000 home example, this could be a $3,000 annual property tax bill ($250 a month liability) up to a $9,000 annual property tax bill ($750 a month liability). Property taxes are a tax deduction. Another $3,000 to $9,000 tax deduction is something everyone can appreciate. Mortgage insurance Unless you put 20 percent or more

Home improvements Home improvements add value to your home and also give you the ability to be added to the purchase price of your home for determining capital gains. Home improvements and repairs are two different things. Replacing a roof, adding a swimming pool or resurfacing your driveway can all be considered improvements. Fixing a broken window, stopping a leaky faucet or any regular maintenance is not considered a home improvement and is not added to the purchase value of your home. If you are looking to add value to your home, it’s critical that you have access to all of your receipts. Once again, the advice of your tax professional is important here. Home office deduction Depending on your line of work, it may be possible to deduct for a home office off your taxes. There are some pretty stringent requirements for this deduction and carries a high audit rate among those who do claim it. If your home is your principal place of your business and you meet all of the IRS guidelines, you just may get yourself yet another great tax deduction – all because you own your own home! Call us today at (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need to make the right decision.

The good news is the money you spend every year on mortgage insurance will be deductible; although there are income restrictions for this deduction, so again check with your tax professional before you start depending on this added deduction that will average around another $1,000 annually.

Murrieta Valley Market opens for business Paisley Trent VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Looking for a true farm-to-table experience? Then come on down to the newly established Murrieta Valley Market at Murrieta Valley High School and do some good, not just for the family you feed, but the school’s choir program, too. The farmers and goods market is held on Saturday mornings. All the money made from purchasing unique goods or fresh vegetables at their new market goes toward the Murrieta Valley High School Choir. The choir’s goal is to raise at least $15,000 - half of their annual operating budget - to pay the essential accompanying pianist to classes and earn money necessary for general operations as well as uniforms, new chairs and new risers. The Market

functions as a long term fundraiser in which “every penny goes from vendors goes to the Choir,” said Nadia Stehmeier, the current choir director. Stehmeier, who is an alumni of the Choir at Murrieta Valley High School and after graduating in 2003, returned to become its director and to foster its growth as the program continues to be denied additional district funding. She emphasized how important the money to is to the Choral Arts Program “in order for it to survive.” Stehmeier also believes it is worth it to give the time in order to ensure students are successful and said without the money, it won’t have the caliber that art programs require for their continuation and positive exposure. Their website shows that going into their 25th year, the Murrieta Valley High School Choir is of very

One of the Nation’s largest manufactures for concrete products comes to Menifee MENIFEE – Forterra Drainage Pipe and Products corporate office has announced that it has decided to locate one of its manufacturing plants and operations to Menifee. Forterra is one of the largest manufacturers of concrete products in North America and Canada, and their new plant in Menifee will manufacture a unique piping product only offered by Forterra, west of the Mississippi. The Menifee plant will service the entire region with drainage pipe and products for future infrastructure development needs. Forterra invested significant capital in new manufacturing equipment, land and building improvements, and will bring important revenue to the city. Forterra will also create between 3050 manufacturing jobs for the region. Forterra will be opening its doors Oct. 15, and has plans to be running at full capacity by the end of the first quarter of 2017, further increasing the success of the expanding manufacturer. “The city has been working hard to attract a well-balanced economy within the city, and manufacturing is just one of those components” said Jeff Wyman, Interim Director of Development. “Forterra’s decision to expand to Menifee is a testament of the regional pull and demand Menifee has- its Menifee’s central location, overall booming growth, and business friendly environment that makes Menifee so attractive.” Forterra Drainage Pipe and Products manufactures storm drain pipe,

water and sewer pipe, structural and specialty products (stormwater management systems and brick). Based in Irving, Texas, Forterra is one of the largest light and heavy building products manufacturers for the construction industry. Forterra employs over 6,000 people and operate more than 130 facilities with products available throughout the Unites States and Canada.

About Menifee: Situated in the heart of southern Riverside County along Interstate 215, Menifee is a vibrant, new city of more than 90,000 residents who enjoy a pleasant yearround climate, abundant recreational offerings, reasonably priced housing and convenient proximity to some of Southern California’s premiere attractions and employment centers. Within its 50 square miles, Menifee’s business, retail and entertainment outlets are starting to shape the community’s character and this growing economic base is also contributing favorably to the city’s strong financial position. Menifee’s growing family-oriented population values the city’s ongoing commitment to public safety, community events and smart growth for the future. All of these elements are working together to support the city’s strategic vision to make Menifee one of the state’s most promising new cities.

high caliber, known as an award winning Choral Arts Program, the choir has been invited to perform at the Western Division American Choral Directors Association in Tucson, Arizona, and the ACDA national conference in Chicago, Illinois, in addition to having “won many awards of excellence and first place prizes” throughout their 25 years. The Murrieta Valley Market is an attempt to ensure that the Choral Arts at Murrieta Valley can continue for many years to come, with the necessary materials and environment. It is open for business every Saturday morning, except major holidays, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is located at Murrieta Valley High School’s Lower Student Parking Lot at 42200 Nighthawk Way. Spots at the market are still available for vendors. For an application, or more information, visit http:// www.murrietavalleymarket.com/.

Location Prospective real estate investors no doubt know the value of location

with regard to real estate, but if you can’t afford to buy in a neighborhood that’s currently hot that does not necessarily mean you can’t still capitalize on that area’s popularity. When a town becomes popular, its property values rise, and many buyers find themselves just barely priced out. When that happens, the surrounding towns tend to become the next hot neighborhood, as these areas are nearly as close to the attractions that make the initial neighborhood so desirable. Buying on the outskirts of a hot neighborhood can set you up to benefit nicely when that area gets too pricy.

Taxes Investment properties are not eligible for as many tax benefits as primary residences. However, landlords can write off repairs, management costs and other fees associated with rental properties. But it’s not just their own tax bill prospective investors should consider before buying an investment property. Many potential buyers down the road may prefer a property in an area where property taxes are relatively low, so even if you can afford the tax on the investment property, you may find buyers are unwilling to assume that burden when you put the property up for sale in the future.

Price trends Recent sale activity in a given town or neighborhood is something prospective real estate investors should study before buying an investment property. Would-be real estate investors can explore real estate websites such as Zillow.com for recent sale information, which may also be available through local government agencies. Such data can be invaluable, showing potential investors which neighborhoods are in demand and which may be in decline.

Real estate can be an incredibly fruitful investment. Buying a property at the right time can provide investors with a substantial return when they decide to sell, and that opportunity compels many men and women to consider investing in real estate. While there’s no denying real estate can yield a great return on buyers’ initial investments, there’s more to making money in real estate than simply buying a property and waiting for its value to rise. Buyers who are thinking of investing in real estate should consider a host of factors before purchasing an investment property.
