Paul Bandong Writer The money – literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars – had been accumulating for years, decorating the walls, ceilings and columns of the outdoor bar portion of The Bank Mexican Restaurant & Bar in Old

Town Temecula. Legal currency in different denominations and even from foreign countries was stapled, taped, thumb-tacked on any open surface by the many patrons that had visited the establishment over the years, many scrawled with messages commemorating special events like birthdays and anniver-

When restaurant owners Craig and Christy Puma wanted to refresh and repaint the outdoor bar they knew they had to do something with all of that money stapled to the walls and ceilings so they offered to donate the money to the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County.

The Pumas have been good supporters of the Boys & Girls Club for many years.

“This started in 2008,” said Puma, “when one of the bartenders started posting pictures of himself and women patrons. And in the

Shelli DeRobertis Writer The Filharmonic wooed the crowd at Temecula Valley High School’s Golden Bear Theater Sept. 29, as they sang hit songs – all a cappella – and captivated the audience with their energy, synced dance moves and harmonious vocals.

Platinum FX, the Chaparral Choir, opened the show with about 40 vocalists who performed “No Place I’d Rather Be,” which was followed by opening act Joanna Pearl, power singer and songwriter from Temecula.

Pearl led with her debut single “Sensitive Material” that gained her the recent nominee for Pop Artist of the Year 2015 from the board of the

Los Angeles Music Awards.

Pearl and The Filharmonic donated profits from the concert to benefit Chaparral High School’s (CHS) choir.

The curtains opened to a dark stage, but the six-man a cappella band lit up the theater with the song “Chains” by Artist Nick Jonas.

All the band members wore black jeans and various green shirts – button down, flannel, cotton or rayon, and sleeves rolled up.

V.J. Rosales, the music director of The Filharmonic who sported a tiny ponytail, introduced the band after the second song.

“The Filharmonic,” he said.

“That’s spelled with an F-I-L because we are all Filipino.”

Kim Harris Managing Editor Chris Ruiz, a resident of Menifee, was killed last week when the C-130J he was a passenger on, crashed. The incident occurred on Friday, Oct. 2 shortly after midnight Afghan time. According to published reports, the plane was on approach at Jalalabad Airfield in Afghanistan when the accident occurred.

Everyone aboard, six U.S. Airforce Airmen and five contractors – including Ruiz – perished in the incident, along with three people on the ground.

According to a GoFundMe page set up for Ruiz’s family, he had served for many years first as a U.S. Marine and most recently as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan.

“Chris is survived by his high school sweetheart Lorelyn, his three beautiful children; a 5 year old daughter, a 3 year old son, a 1 year old daughter and his loving mother,” the website reported.

All funds raised on the GoFundMe account, which can be found online at www.gofundme.com/ chrisruiz, will go to help his family.

Ruiz lived in Heritage Lake, according to published reports.

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann penned an email on Sunday asking residents to join him in making a donation to the family.

“Menifee resident, Chris Ruiz, a resident of Heritage Lake, died in the C-130 accident in Afghanistan on Friday, October 2nd. Chris Ruiz was a Marine Corps veteran

The Komen Race heads north to Lake Elsinore Oct. 18

John Hunneman Columnist The Promenade Mall in Temecula was about two weeks from celebrating its grand opening in 1999 when a large group assembled in the parking lot there early on an October morning.

On that day I didn’t know much about the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. However a group of highly respected community members had organized this first time event and about 5,000 of us wanted to be part of it.

I also did not know much about breast cancer. To my knowledge no one in my family had been impacted by the disease.

Much has changed in 16 years.

The Inland Empire Komen Race has become a fixture here in Southwest Riverside County, sort of the unofficial kick-off of fall, much like the old Great Temecula Tractor Race was years before, but

RUIZ from page A-1 working as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan when his C-130 plane went down,” Mann wrote. “Please join me and other Menifee residents who have stepped up to the plate and make a donation to his family.”

In his email Mann also quoted the Bible.

“John 15:13 (NIV) - Greater love has no one than this: to lay

a lot less messy.

During that time almost two million people have come to the region to participate and more than $6.2 million has been raised and given to organizations right here in our community.

Read that again, that’s $6.2 million that has gone to local nonprofit groups across Riverside and San Bernardino counties that provide breast cancer education, diagnostic services, treatment for those who are have no insurance and a shoulder to lean on for those diagnosed with this dread disease.

In that same time, breast cancer has touched my own family, just as it has many of yours. Three of our cousins have been diagnosed with the disease. Two have survived.

What has also changed this year is the race location. For the first time the local race will not be held at The Promenade mall.

Without getting too much into the politics here, in August the Temecula City Council ambushed the Komen folks by telling them, “It’s My Way of the Highway.”

Organizers wisely chose the highway, I-15 to be specific, and moved the event north to Lake Elsinore and the Diamond Stadium.

Race organizers had just a short time to prepare for the event, which will be held on Oct. 18.

Katie Parker, executive director of the local Komen chapter, told me recently that with great cooperation from both city officials and

the Lake Elsinore Storm baseball club, they are looking forward to a wonderful event.

“We’ve been working with the Storm and the city of Lake Elsinore to address any issues,” Parker said. “The people at the Diamond have a lot of experience holding big events like this.”

One of the few complaints heard over the years is how far so many race participants had to travel to get to Temecula early on a Sunday morning.

The Inland Empire chapter covers 27,000 square miles and serves about 4.3 million people. For many race participants, Temecula was a long way to go.

“Now the race will be closer for many of them,” Parker said.

“We are really excited about this new venue.”

The race course this year will be much different. Instead of the paved roads around the mall, 5K and 10K participants will travel along the levee next to the lake on what should be a picturesque beautiful autumn morning.

You can register yourself or your team at www.komenie.org until Oct. 16. You can also sign up on race day at the Diamond.

Yes, much has changed since 1999, but the great work our local Komen chapter does in helping treat this dreaded disease, and the research that has been funded to find a cure, continues.

See you at the race.

down one’s life for one’s friends,” he wrote.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter issued a statement on Friday, expressing his condolences to the families of those killed on the ground as well as those on the flight.

“This is a reminder of the risks that our men and women face serving their country in remote places all over the world,” he said. “My thoughts and prayers are with their

families during this difficult time.”

Ruiz’s body was scheduled to arrive in Dover, Del. on Monday.

On Friday, the Taliban took to Twitter claiming to have shot the plane down, but enemy fire is not suspected as a cause in the crash, the Air Force Times reported earlier this week.

Soledad Escobedo, VP Senior Branch Relationship Officer for Pacific Western Bank, is the banker for the Pumas’ businesses and was coincidentally on the “Our Kids Rock” committee for the local Boys & Girls Club.

“Pacific Western Bank has been a supporter of the Southwest Boys & Girls Club for ten years,” said Escobedo. “I was talking with Craig and Christy about supporting the annual “Our Kids Rock” event and they wanted to do something

for the kids.”

“Craig and Christy and Soledad came to one of our weekly meetings,” said Mary Mollway, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County. “They offered to donate the proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club if we would be willing to come and take it down off the walls.

We said we’d be there!”

So at 8 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, a group of Boys & Girls Club volunteers climbed the ladders and the bar counters with staple removers, pliers, and scissors and started taking down the money. At the end of the morning, the final tally was $2,829.

“I was happily surprised at the final total,” said Craig Puma, “Christy and I are pleased to donate it all to such a worthy cause.”

The Pumas had also started a social media contest to guess how much money was on the walls and ceilings with the winner getting a $50 gift card to The Bank. The contest drew 709 guesses in the first half-day.

Pacific Western Bank, which is also the primary bank for the nonprofit club, will take the damaged money and submit it for exchange with the Treasury Department. Bills must be at least three quarters complete with at least one serial number intact and legible.

“Once we know how much has been approved for exchange by the Treasury, Pacific Western Bank will credit the Boys & Girls Club immediately with the full amount,” said Escobedo. They are also the primary bank for the non-profit club.

“We are so grateful for the support of the Pumas and the support of the community,” said Mollway, “because these are community clubs that support our local kids.”

“Our Kids Rock: The Next Generation” is the 23rd annual fundraiser and gala benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County.

The event will be held Sunday, Nov. 8 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Pechanga Casino & Resort. This year’s events include the “Wall of Wine” and “Deal or No Deal” as well as performances by the Boys & Girls “Idol” finalists. Larry Potter is the guest Master of Ceremonies.

Hundreds of handmade quilts hung outside at annual quilt walk A chart displayed at the auction site showed a breakdown of the time and money that goes into handcrafting a quilt.

The fabric for the top, back and binding, and the batting for the inside could average $133.

The construction of the quilt includes first selecting the fabric and pattern, then cutting followed by lots of sewing, which can take about 50 hours for a 65-inch square quilt.

Finishing the quilt can take another 12 hours or so, after making the biding and attaching it by hand, according to the chart.

The total cost ranges from about $770 to $850, if the quilter constructs a quilt at $10-per hour. A king size quilt would cost about double.

Gail Ledbetter, chairwoman of the Valley of the Mist Quilters, said that the guild meets monthly, and that during wintertime they bring in wellknown quilters and host workshops and trunk shows.

She said the guild also performs philanthropy work.

“They’ve made decorative pillowcases to fill with Christmas goodies for the Veterans Center on March Air Force Base,” she said.

Ledbetter has crafted about 20 quilts since she became interested in quilting, and said what many other quilters echo, “it’s therapeutic for me, it’s relaxing and it’s really good for my brain.”

Quilts of many patterns and sizes line Front St. in Old Town Temecula during an outdoor quilt show hosted by the Valley of the Mist Quilters on Oct. 4.

Shelli DeRobertis Writer Quilts of various sizes and designs blanketed buildings, fences, railings, windows and clotheslines along Old Town Front Street last weekend during the 17th Annual Old Town Temecula Outdoor Quilt Show. The show was hosted by the Valley of the Mist Quilters Guild.

A half-dozen vendors set up shop inside the Temecula Civic Center, where they offered quilting supplies, sewing machines, patterns, handmade clothing, material, and more for sale.

Spectators strolled leisurely along the quilt walk where they could study the intricate designs of the fabric pieces close-up.

“I love how they have them displayed,” said Kimm Bronk of San Diego.

Bronk attended the quilt walk with her mother, and said she saw many gorgeous quilts with holiday themes and others featuring patriotic designs.

Tables were lined up and topped with smaller quilts suitable for framing at the silent auction in front of Antique Faire, where some bids started at only $15.

About 100 people gathered at the courtyard of the community theater for a live auction at 1 p.m.

Cheri McDowell, of Temecula, was helping at the raffle table in the vendor section at the show, and said she brought eight quilts to the show.

She said her small quilt on display, “Lucy Welch Terrier,” was the hardest one to create and was part of the group’s challenge quilt last year that required diamond shapes be part of

the quilt.

McDowell has been member of the Valley of the Mist Quilters for seven years, and said the members make and donate quilts to the silent auction, of which a large portion of the proceeds go to charity.

At the live auction, 42 quilts were awaiting new homes, and featured titles such as Africans, Taxi Cab, Spring Fling, Elephant Parade and The Road Less Traveled.

Temecula Valley teenager contestant on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ Shelli DeRobertis Writer Teenager Cole Criske, 16, has joined celebrity musician Blake Shelton’s Team Blake to battle for his title of “The Voice,” after making it through the Sept. 29 blind auditions, part 5, on NBC’s hit reality series.

Season 9 of the show’s panel of celebrity musician coaches include Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams. Carson Daly is the host.

During the blind auditions, the coaches hear the artists’ individual performances as they sit in rotating chairs – with their backs facing the contestant.

Cole sang “Dreaming with a Broken Heart,” and within 20

seconds Gwen Stefani pushed her button and turned her chair around to select Cole for her team.

“Those few seconds before she turned around felt like an eternity,” Cole said.

Then Blake Shelton swiveled around to face Cole, and so did Pharrell Williams.

Cole chose to join Team Blake.

“Me and Gwen have a connection, but up there in that moment I felt like I could really work with Blake, and that he really did care about his contestants and that he would really take care of me,” Cole said.

He said his family was the main inspiration behind his audition for “The Voice,” and added that his mother pushed him to audition for the show.

“I kind of have had some bad experiences with trying to audition for big shows before,” he said. “I’d usually get shot down from the beginning so I decided I wasn’t going to do them anymore,” he said.

Locally, Cole was part of an Escondido choir.

He said he auditioned for the BGC Idol (Boys & Girls Clubs of South West County) each year from 2012 to 2014.

“I got to the finals twice but always got beaten by a girl with a powerful voice,” he said.

But it was his own voice that got him to the big screen, and smallscale auditions are now times past.

Cole skipped fifth grade, grew up in Wildomar and attended River Springs Charter School. For his freshman year of high school he said he attended Temecula Valley High School. He is currently a senior at Julian Charter School,

Temecula.

Songs by Christian Singer/Songwriter Chris Tomlin were a big part of his life when his dad was alive, he said.

He remembers listening to the same Chris Tomlin CD “hundreds of times” as they went on their many trips together, he said.

“After he passed was when I gained an interest toward music,” Cole said.

He began learning to write music, and spent about six months practicing the piano, except he said “it didn’t really click.”

What he did find after trying the drums, the banjo, the mandolin and the ukulele, is that the ukulele is his favorite instrument to play.

Cole enjoys folk and pop music, and said his three favorite singer/ songwriters include Ed Sheeran, John Mayer and Jack Johnson.

Faithful Scents named finalist in American Made Audience Choice Awards Kim Harris Managing Editor When Danielle Sedler poured her first ever soy candle into a mason jar less than two years ago, she never dreamed that one day those candles would catch the eye of anyone other than her family and friends.

But just a year and a half after she created her first candle that is exactly what happened. Those candles carefully poured in a mason jar and labeled by hand caught the eye of thousands of people, including Martha Stewart and a panel of judges for the 2015 American Made Audience Choice Awards.

“Faithful Scents is a candle company that I started in December of 2013,” Sedler said, explaining that the soy candles in mason jars were originally made as Christmas presents for all of the girls in her family.

Sedler said that her co-workers at the time encouraged her to sell the candles.

“I said, ‘They are soy candles in mason jars, there is nothing special about them,’” Sedler said.

But in spite of her reservations, Sedler, who lives in Murrieta with her husband, began selling the candles. She posted a few pictures taken by a friend of a friend on Twitter highlighting the candles and her outfits by using hash tags with the designers’ names.

“I tagged Jessica Simpson because I was wearing Jessica Simpson shoes and a Nordstrom rack top, you know how on social media you can tag everyone that you are wearing,” Sedler said.

Little did she know that one of those hash tags would thrust her and her homemade candles into the spotlight. She was contacted by one of Jessica Simpson’s clothing line public relations representatives who loved her photo. That representative told Sedler she personified what an American girl is. They asked her if they could make a collage of her photos from Instagram and post it.

“I let them do it and literally, my little small business has taken off from there,” Sedler said.

Sedler began to sell more of the candles using her website, www. faithfulscents.com.

One day several months ago, she decided to make a profile on the Martha Stewart American Made website as a way to solidify her business.

“I had heard of the Martha Stewart American Made Awards, but I figured they go through social media and there are hundreds, thousands of small businesses that make profiles on there,” she said.

“I didn’t know that Martha Stewart and a judging panel actually go through every profile and they pick finalists from the profiles.”

Sedler said that about a month ago, she received an email that would change her life yet again.

Faithful Scents, a local business that makes soy candles, has been chosen as a finalist by Martha Stewart and her panel of judges in the 2015 American Made Audience Choice Awards in the design category.

Danielle Sedler of Murrieta has been recognized as a finalist in the Martha Stewart American Made Awards. Sedler, is the owner and operator of Faithful Scents a soy candle company based in Murrieta.

“It said congratulations after going through the pile of design finalists you’ve been chosen as a design finalist in the 2015 American Made Awards,” she said, adding that voting has started for the contest and runs until Oct. 19.

“The general public go on and can vote up to six times a day for their favorite small business,” she said. “I don’t really know what you win. I just know I have a little badge on my social media that says I am an American Made Awards Finalist.”

For Sedler just being able to say she is a finalist in the contest is more than enough.

“I am just going with it and letting all my followers know they can go online everyday and cast their votes for us,” she said.

According to Sedler, each person is allowed six votes a day.

Votes can be cast online at www. marthastewart.com and clicking on the American Made link at the top of the page.

Even if she doesn’t win, Sedler said the business has been a blessing to her and her family.

“My husband just got out of the Army so we are a veteran family,” she said. “We were in Texas for three years and he just got out and

we came back to Murrieta. We are in transition right now.”

Currently, while her husband is working through the process of becoming a Riverside County Sheriff Deputy, Sedler is working full time as an accounting manager in Oceanside.

“I am sacrificing for my family right now,” she said. “Eventually my plan is to do candles full time.”

Sedler said she gets calls from her customers who she has connected with and those calls keep her motivated.

“I’ve had so many of my customers call me saying things like ‘the little candle that I brought from you has brought so much light into my life in a dark time,’ and ‘you’re so personal with your followers.’ I’ve made friends with my customers and I love small business.”

While her candles cannot be bought at local stores, Sedler plans

on doing pick-ups two days a month so her local customers don’t have to pay for shipping.

Sedler, who is a Christian, believes that candle making was placed in her lap by God and said that she had no idea her passion would be candle making.

“For 27 years, I had been praying and praying hard for God to reveal his purpose in my life because I didn’t know,” she said. “This candle making was literally placed in my lap from God. I bring as much faith into it as possible and I have connected to some of the most amazing human beings because of that.”

City of Temecula appoints Community Development Director TEMECULA – Following a fourmonth recruitment process, the city of Temecula selected current city employee Luke Watson to serve as the City’s next Community Development Director. The vacancy resulted from former Community Development Director Armando Villa’s departure.

Villa accepted a promotional opportunity with the County of Imperial.

Watson began his new assignment on Sept. 23, and will be responsible for overseeing all divisions of the department, including Planning, Code Enforcement, and Building and Safety.

Watson has been with the city for 10 years, holding various positions within the city, including management assistant, management analyst, senior planner, and most recently serving as the interim community development director.

Watson’s previous experience spans over the areas of redevelopment, long-range planning, economic development, government grants, housing and solid waste; however,

his most recent interim director assignment included full oversight of the Planning, Code Enforcement, and Building and Safety divisions of the Community Development Department.

Watson has a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Public Administration from San Diego State University, and a Masters of Business Administration from Point Loma Nazarene University.

Commenting on Watson’s performance in the interim role, Assistant City Manager Greg Butler stated, “In serving as Interim Community Development Director, Luke stepped into a department leadership role, leveraged his excellent working relationships with his co-workers, and kept several high profile projects moving forward.

I am confident that the Community Development staff that has rallied around and supported him while in the interim role will continue to do so as he assumes this permanent appointment.”

CHS choir group Platinum FX perform at the Temecula Valley High School theater on Sept. 29.

Shane Gibson photos

The Filharmonic perform for guests and fans attending a benefit concert held for CHS choir program at the Temecula Valley High School Theater on Sept. 29.

SINGING from page A-1 Backstage before the show, Vocal bass Jules Cruz said he came up with the group’s name. He was a student taking computer science classes at Mt. San Antonio College, in L.A. County, before the group’s conception.

Jules, originally from Las Vegas, went to middle school with Barry Fortgang, a young Filipino singer/ actor/pianist. Jules had played the guitar and also sang in his church choir, so that prompted him to join the college choir. Jules and Niko Del Rey met in 2010, in that college choir.

Niko, now a professional beat boxer for The Filharmonic, said he only joined the choir for one reason.

“I heard you get priority registration for joining the choir,” he said.

Little did he know then that the decision would be a life-changing event.

Joe Caigoy, vocalist originally from Los Angeles, also had no idea that meeting up with the group to make an audition tape for NBC’s musical competition “The SingOff” would change the course of his life.

He said he had been attending college out of state when he was asked to join the group that sought all-Filipino performers. After the audition tape was accepted, it was time to audition in person for the show.

“I lived in Michigan and I flew in the day of the audition,” Joe said.

He also said that he was expecting to go home afterwards, and resume his day-to-day life; but that didn’t happen.

The band became complete after discovering Trace Gaynor, a University of Southern California student at the time, and V.J., a Cal State University Long Beach student.

The Filharmonic breezed past the NBC show’s auditions, made the semi-finals, and finished the first “Sing-Off” national tour, sharing the stage with Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas and Pentatonix, before landing a part in the movie Pitch Perfect 2.

Temecula residents knew they were in for a treat when The Filharmonic scheduled a show at TVHS. Annakate Gibson, a CHS student, said The Filharmonic performed at her school earlier that day, and after watching them she bought her ticket to see them again, that night.

“They’re really good, and I like singing,” she said.

Austin Starr, a junior at CHS, was also at the concert and said he came to see them perform live after seeing them on the “SingOff,” which he originally began watching to see the Pentatonix perform.

The Filharmonic had just returned from a college tour of the New England states – to come to Temecula – only to turn around and go back the next day to perform at the White House Celebration of Filipino American History Month.

“We go tomorrow to D.C., which is the end of our D.C. tour,” said Trace Gaynor.

Gaynor said that touring Boston was awesome.

What’s next for the talented group?

“We have a cool Halloween video coming out in a few weeks, and then a Christmas E.P.,” Trace said.

Barry said that performing a benefit concert to help a school choir is something the band never hesitated to agree to.

“We all wanted to be in this group to benefit other people,” Barry said. “We’re happy to be able to help with that.”

LOCAL PRODUCE.

There was no question that the audience enjoyed the show.

The loud applause, whistles and screams of “I love you!” and “You’re awesome!” said that they did.

Are your gums receding?

An Easy Fix...

Introducing Dr. Milan M. Irvin, DMD

“When I first met Dr. Brown I had not seen a dentist in 10 years. He and his staff made me feel at ease and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of dental care I received. These are good people doing great work. Thanks Dr. Brown!”

– Mark S.

Focusing on Pinhole Dentistry Dr. Irvin received his BA in Sociology at UC Berkeley, MS in Health Science at Norte Dame de Namur University, and his DMD at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. He is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, Tri-County Dental Society, and volunteers for Give Kids A Smile. Dr. Irvin has been practicing dentistry since 2012, where he has gained experience in all aspects of general dentistry, sleep appliance therapy, and holistic dental medicine. Dr. Irvin’s extensive and in-depth knowledge of the pinhole technique allows him to diagnose your condition accurately and can offer you this unique solution that you would not easily find anywhere else.

“Dr. Brown is very knowledgeable and professional. He has always treated me with care and fixed any problems.

He and his staff, especially Wendy and Brandi, are always professional and take care of their patients with experience. TLC and a smile.” – Patricia R. “Growing up as a kid I had yellow buck teeth.

Kids were mean and teased me incessantly. As I got older, I started to fight back, and I would sink my ugly yellow buck teeth into their arms and ears! Later I got fragile veneers and when I went to bite them, they would break and fall off. Now that Dr. Brown restored my bite with beautiful porcelain crowns, my wife and friends cannot believe the change in my appearance. I can hardly wait for my class reunion so I can sink my new porcelain crowns into those little creeps!” –Paul H.

“As my patient, you can expect thorough and gentle treatment. I will cater to your specific dental needs in a manner that is ethical, efficient, and financially feasible.

I vow to exceed your expectations and be your dentist for life!”

–Milan M. Irvin

The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) also known as Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation was invented and patented by John Chao, DDS. It is a scalpel-free, suture free, graft-free, minimally invasive procedure for correcting gum recession and saving teeth. Through a small hole made by needle, specially designed instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue and

glide it over the receded part of the tooth. Since there is not cutting or stitching, patients can expect minimal post-operative symptoms (pain, swelling and bleeding). Patients are pleasantly surprised by the instant cosmetic improvement.

Most patients are able to resume light normal activities within 24-28 hours after treatment.

JP Raineri Sports Editor The first cross country league meet of the season took place on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at Temecula

Valley High School and that meant feeding time for the Great Oak Wolfpack.

Both teams from Great Oak were fresh off of successful first and second place finishes at the Bob Firman

Invitational in Boise, Idaho over the previous weekend. At the Firman Invitational, the Great Oak girls’ team, led by junior Evelyn Mandel, was dominant in their victory over American Fork winning 43-77 and the boys’ finished in second place losing to Timpanogos 104 to 106 in a very tight race.

Fast forward just five days and the Wolfpack teams were eager to jump out in front as they took the track at Temecula Valley to start the course for the first league event of the season. The boys’ team took the top five spots with Solomon Fountain finishing first, then Gavin Korby, Justin

Eipp, Carlos Carvajal and Jacob Korgan right behind helping Great Oak finish with a perfect score of 15.

Eric Nunez of Vista Murrieta, Marod Jackson of Chaparral, Edgard Villa also of Vista Murrieta, Payton Olsen from Murrieta Mesa and Wesley Bowen of Great Oak rounded out the Top 10 finishers.

As a team, Chaparral finished second in the meet with 60 points with Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Mesa, Murrieta Valley and Temecula Valley finishing the point totals in that order.

For the girls’, Great Oak scored 30 points to win while Vista Murrieta placed second with 56 points,

Chaparral took third, Murrieta Valley came in fourth, Temecula Valley was fifth and Murrieta Mesa was on the bottom in sixth.

Michelle McIntosh of Great Oak finished in first place followed by Maya Ambroziak (Great Oak), Michaela Reynolds (Vista Murrieta), Alison Ciling (Murrieta Mesa), Zoe Jarvis (Chaparral), Kendalyn Green (Chaparral), Alyssa Ungrady (Great Oak), Sarah Workman (Great Oak), Paige Haynes (Vista Murrieta) and Amelia Strahan (Vista Murrieta).

High School Football: League play arrives, its going down for real

Cole Dubots scored twice on touchdown runs of 56 and 5 yards, He carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards David Canales photo as the Broncos beat St. Augustine (San Diego) 36-32.

JP Raineri Sports Editor The table has been set for the teams in the area and it’s now time to prove that the pre-season schedules, which were manifested by their own coaching staffs prior to the summer, were wise decisions or not.

“The goal is to prepare your team for the opponents in your league, while also thinking about the right road to take to secure a spot in the post season,” said Murrieta Valley Nighthawks head coach, George Wilson.

The Nighthawks, who almost completely revamped their coaching staff coming in to the preseason, were not on anyone’s radar due to the young team they were putting on the field during the summer. With a 4-1 record heading into league, along with Temecula Valley and last year’s Southwestern League champion Vista Murrieta

Broncos, all three teams expect to be in the post season when all is said and done.

Southwestern League The Southwestern League has four teams coming off bye weeks, while both TVHS and VMHS finished off their non-league seasons last week.

It would be Temecula Valley’s defense and their special teams that would ultimately be the key factors in the Golden Bears 41-7 win over Tahquitz (1-4) in Week 5. The first half was fairly uneventful, but junior running back Lika Palmer livened things up with an early jolt into the end zone near the beginning of the second quarter and added another touchdown just before halftime, catching a Vinny Bowes pass adding a 2-point. conversion thereafter, which put TV up 14-0 at halftime.

The second half turned into the Titans worst nightmare as middle

linebacker, Cullen Muir, picked off a pass in the third quarter and returned it for a score while Nate Gardner returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown as well as Zac Simon, who took a punt 65 yards into the end zone. Palmer would add another TD run in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach, but Tahquitz managed to find the end zone once on the night as RB, Nuri Smith, would score late in the final minutes of the game.

Temecula Valley (4-1) will host the Chaparral Pumas (2-3) at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9.

The Vista Murrieta Broncos were the only other SWL team to play last week and improved to 4-1 after beating San Diego CIF Section’s No. 3-ranked team, the St. Augustine Saints.

The Broncos looked great early on, nothing like they did the week before against Orange Lutheran,

Woman involved in slaying sentenced, Jury deliberates fate of released cop-killing husband WILDOMAR – A woman who aided in the slaying of a Wildomar man during a confrontation in an abandoned shack was given a threeyear sentence on Monday, Oct. 5, but was immediately released on parole after it was determined her jail time awaiting trial exceeded her prison commitment.

Summer Sharmaine Stephens, 41, of Wildomar pleaded guilty in July to being an accessory to murder for the Sept. 18, 2012, death of 42-year-old Steven Lawrence Markley.

In exchange for Stephens’ admission, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office dropped a murder charge with special circumstance allegations.

Superior Court Judge Judith Clark certified the plea agreement and imposed the sentence stipulated

by the prosecution and defense.

However, after calculating the defendant’s jail time credit, which totaled roughly 40 months, Clark placed Stephens on parole, and the convicted felon was released from custody.

Last week, Stephens’ codefendant, 35-year-old Anthony Albert Garcia, was convicted of second-degree murder following a nearly two-week trial. He’s slated to be sentenced on Dec. 4 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

A juvenile court trial is still pending for a third defendant, a 15-year-old boy whose name was withheld because of his age.

According to the D.A.’s office, Garcia beat Markley to death with a baseball bat in a vacant shack in the 20000 block of Mariposa Road,

where transients often gathered.

Prosecutors said the victim had been sleeping at the location and was attacked while drinking with Garcia and Stephens. The defendants maintained there was mutual combat and that Markley was the instigator because he made lewd remarks about Stephens.

The prosecution contended that Garcia and Stephens killed the victim because he was slated to testify against their associates regarding an assault he’d witnessed that August in Lake Elsinore.

Stephens called 911 after the attack, and deputies arrived moments later to find the victim dead in the shack. Garcia and Stephens were loitering nearby and were arrested without incident.

Newly updated drought tips available for farmers DAVIS – Drought strategies for managing alfalfa and many other crops are available free from University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources. As California endures a fourth year of drought and ever-tightening water supplies, water-management strategies have become even more critical to farmers.

To help farmers make the best use of the water they have available, a series of new and updated drought tips fact sheets has been developed by UC ANR scientists and funded by the California Department of Water Resources.

“These drought tips provide irrigation management recommendations for a broad range of agricultural crops and under different water supply conditions,” said Daniele Zaccaria, UC ANR Cooperative Extension agricultural water management specialist at UC Davis and major organizer of the drought tip series. “The information in these tips will be of practical use for growers and other water-related stakeholders now and into the future as our agricultural community continues to adapt to climate variability and to a changing water supply situation.”

UC ANR scientists have identified best management practices for a wide range of annual and permanent crops and irrigation systems and methods during the drought. In the drought tips series, they also give advice for managing soil salinity and using shallow groundwater for irrigating crops. For beef cattle, they provide recommendations for culling herds and feeding to supplement grazing.

The following drought tips are currently available for free download at http://ucanr.edu/ drought-tips: drought strategies for alfalfa, drought management for California almonds, use of shallow groundwater for crop production, drought strategies for walnuts, fog contribution to crop water use, reclaiming saline, and sodic and saline-sodic soils.

Several more drought tips for

dozens of commodities and situations are in the process of being published and will be posted online soon.

Decades of UC ANR research underlie the information contained in the drought tips. In the 1970s and again in the 1990s, UC ANR partnered with DWR to develop a series of drought management fact sheets.

“DWR has worked with UC ANR to update the drought tips and make sure the latest and best information on water management is available to growers,” said Peter Brostrom, DWR Water Use Efficiency Section manager.

The California Institute for Water Resources, which coordinates water-related research and extension education across the 10 UC campuses and UCANR, has the drought tips and more drought resources online at http://ciwr. ucanr.edu.

“Even if El Niño brings rain this fall, water scarcity will continue to impact California farmers,” said Doug Parker, director of UC ANR’s California Institute for Water Resources. “As climate change continues to reduce the average annual snowpack, it is likely that droughts in California will become more frequent and severe in the years to come.”

UC ANR’s California Institute for Water Resources and the California Department of Water Resources also offer droughtrelated information in a series of videos. Water experts from UC and other agencies and institutions have recorded presentations on high-priority drought topics.

Currently 38 videos can be accessed for free on computers and mobile devices at http://ucanr. edu/insights.

UC ANR researchers and educators draw on local expertise to conduct agricultural, environmental, economic, youth development and nutrition research that helps California thrive. For more information, visit ucanr.edu.

Firefighters arrived minutes later and quickly extinguished the flames, immediately identifying the cause of the blaze as arson, according to police Lt. Tony Conrad.

He said Rodas, who called to report the fire, had also reported his wife missing, indicating she might still be in the house. The story raised suspicions, and Rodas was detained. During questioning, he allegedly admitted killing his wife and burning the location in an attempt to cover up the crime.

The defendant, who has no prior felony convictions, allegedly led detectives to where he had dumped his wife’s remains.

The couple’s daughter, Suzeth, was not harmed during the shooting and subsequent fire. She is now in the care of her maternal grandmother.

Williams brothers, Darland, Hines, Boespflug and Short enter Oval Nationals

Dave Darland on his way to his third Oval Nationals triumph in 2013.

Doug Allen photos

PERRIS – With the historic 20th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway on Nov. 12, 13 and 14 only six-weeks away, entries continue to come in for the race. The latest group of entries features 3-time winner Dave Darland, all three of 1997 Ovals winner Rip Williams sons, Indiana’s Tracy Hines, Chad Boespflug & Brady Short and USAC/CRA regulars Chris Gansen and Tommy “Thunder” Malcolm.

More than 50 of the nation’s top sprint car drivers are expected to vie for the event record purse of more than $120,000.00.

Darland is one of two drivers to have won the Oval Nationals threetimes. The popular Lincoln, Ind. resident won the race in 2006, 2007 and 2013. A few weeks after his triumph in 2013, he came back to The PAS and won the Turkey Night Grand Prix. That win on Thanksgiving made him only the third driver in history (Mel Kenyon and Stan Fox being the others) to have won the Turkey Night Grand Prix on both dirt and pavement. This year in the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car Series, Darland has won four main events in four different states – Florida, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Indiana. He is currently ranked third

Currently fourth in USAC/CRA points, Austin Williams is the highest ranked of the three Williams siblings who will all be racing in the Oval Nationals.

in the championship standings, only 35-points out of first place.

The Williams brothers, Cody, Austin and Logan, carry on the family Oval Nationals legacy established by their National Sprint Car Hall of Fame father Rip, who won over 100main events thus far in his career.

Austin, the middle brother, who resides in Yorba Linda, is currently fourth in USAC/CRA points. Cody, the eldest of the trio, lives in Corona and sits eighth in USAC/CRA standings. Logan, the 2014 USAC/CRA Rookie of the Year, who also makes his home in Yorba Linda, is ranked ninth in the championship standings.

For Wilkinson, Ind. resident Hines, it may be his last chance at winning the Oval Nationals. Earlier this month he announced that 2015 will be his last season as a full-time driver.

The 2000 USAC Silver Crown champion and 2002 Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car champion will be leaving the driver’s seat full-time in 2016 for the position of Competition Director for ThorSport Racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Hines is currently ranked ninth in USAC National Sprint Car points. With two races to go, he leads the Honda USAC National Midget standings and will try to lock up that championship at The PAS on Thanks-

Boespflug, a native of Hanford, Calif., who now resides in Plainfield, Ind., will be driving one of two cars entered by Southern California’s Dwight Cheney. Affectionately known as the “Hanford Hornet” to his fans, Boespflug is currently ranked 12th in USAC National Sprint Car points and finished second overall in the championship chase at Indiana’s Lincoln Park Speedway in 2015. The slender driver who left California and moved to Indiana just months after graduating high-school to pursue a career in racing, drove the Cheney car to an eighth-place finish at the Salute to Indy at The PAS on May 23.

In addition, earlier this year Short brought home his third championship in the “King of Indiana Sprint Car Series.”

Rounding out the list of new entries is the local duo of Gansen of Verdemont Heights and Tom Malcolm of Corona. Contesting his second full season in the USAC/ CRA Series after recovering from a serious neck injury sustained in a midget crash, Gansen is currently 13th in points. Malcolm, who began his racing career in a street stock at The PAS when he was just 14-years-

old, is in his rookie season in sprint cars. The former late model star, who confines most of his racing to The PAS, is 17th in points and has a season best sixth place finish at Santa Maria on July 3.

Temecula FC soccer player earns professional tryout in Europe The Temecula FC soccer club announced last week that current player and former Chaparral High School standout, Santiago (Santi) Warren, has been offered a professional tryout with Scottish First Division team Airdrie FC. Santi will travel from California to Glasgow Scotland where Temecula FC Director of football, Willie Donachie, will meet Santi and escort him to Airdire FC for his two week trial with the renowned Scottish League One side.

“Santi’s main assets are speed and goal scoring which are invaluable,” said TFC’s Director of Football, Willie Donachie. “In world football, these traits are hard to find and players with these gifts are in high demand. It will be a great experience for Santi to practice and compete with some very good international players in Scotland.”

Santi, who made his debut for the Quails when he was just a 17-yearold, will be the third Temecula FC player to earn a European tryout in the last twelve months.

“Santi definitely has something as a player,” said TFC Owner, Brandon Jantz. “I noticed it at nine years of age when I first coached him. He was very strong and quick and wanted the ball all the time and that was exactly want you want to see from a player his age – very hungry to get goals. Since that time, he has grown and matured into a solid player and we wish him success with his trial in Scotland.

It’s great to see Santi earn this opportunity.”

Temecula FC is a semi-professional soccer team currently competing in the Southwest Conference of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) (US 4th Division).

The team offers a competitive youth development academy for all age levels.

“The purpose of Temecula FC is “development” at all levels and preparing players for college placement and trials in the USA and Europe”, said Jantz. “Preparing players to compete at the highest levels is the sole reason Temecula FC was formed.”

HS Girls Tennis: Nighthawks remain undefeated, Pumas fall to Golden Bears JP Raineri Sports Editor The Nighthawks are picking up where they left off last year as the 2014 Southwestern League Champions with a flawless 7-0 record after knocking off Murrieta Mesa and King earlier this week.

The team, under coach Trent Warren, has been undefeated for the last seven seasons, Southwestern League Champions seven years in a row, have been a CIF-SS Finalist two years in a row and in 2014 was ranked in the TOP 16 of California teams.

Rankings, which change as the wind blows, showed Murrieta Valley in the number five spot last week, but the officials at CIF have somehow left them off this week and included Vista Murrieta (ranked 9th) and Temecula Valley right behind the Broncos at No. 10.

In any case, Murrieta Valley is a threat once again, especially after handing Murrieta Mesa (6-2) their second loss of the season, defeating the Rams, 16-2. Serbian Jovana Kuljanin (1st Team All Conference 2014) who is currently ranked #23 for seniors in SoCal, swept her Mesa counterpart 6-0 in all three sets. Faith Pearson who is currently ranked #47 for freshman in SoCal and Alana Andrews who is a 1st Team All Conference player from 2014 also won their matches against Mesa, giving up only 4 of the sets.

The #1 Doubles team of Kelsey Lajom (1st Team All Conference and was named MVP Doubles All League 2014) and Ashley Nishimoto took out their opponents with no problem as well, winning 6-1, 6-0, 6-0. The Nighthawks also took out M.L. King, defeating the Wolves 12-6 as their singles of Kuljanin, Andrews and Pearson swept, but it would be the doubles team of Desar and De Micco from King that would keep the Wolves close, winning 6-2, 6-1 and 6-2.

Over on the other side of town,

Driving ambition A British team seeks to set new land speed records with a car they say can travel at 1,000 miles an hour. An earlier version of the vehicle already holds the world record of 763 miles per hour set in 1997.

The new Bloodhound SSC [supersonic car] is powered by a jet engine rated at 133,151 horsepower, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. The speed demons plan to first break the existing record by accelerating their car to some 800 mph in a trial slated to take place in South Africa next spring. Later they’ll attempt to reach their goal of traveling at 1,000 mph or more - a rate of speed that, if it was possible to sustain, could get them from New York to Los Angeles in less than three hours.

Breast cancer survivor focuses on others while battling cancer

Za Zette Scott is a 2015 Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure Honorary Breast Cancer Survivor. Scott is from Courtesy photo San Bernardino.

TEMECULA – Za Zette Scott was 39 in 2006 when she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ.

Scott said she felt little hope that she would survive the challenge.

Prior to her diagnosis, earlier in the year, Scott had lost her beloved grandmother, a treasured aunt, her mother-in-law and grandmother-inlaw. Life felt bleak.

After enduring several biopsies and two surgeries during the holidays of 2006, Scott felt optimistic that her treatment plan would soon have her back to her life as a mother to a young son and back to her job as a union activist. Enduring 31 rounds of radiation that left her scarred but alive, getting back to normal was right over the horizon.

Scott, armed with a whole new arsenal of requirements to stay healthy and in remission, was advised to get involved in after care survivor groups and activities. She sought out breast cancer support

groups in the Inland Empire and settled in with Pomona Cancer Care Center for after care counseling and group support. A resounding theme that developed to Scott was that it was important to share her story and encourage newly diagnosed cancer patients with words of hope and life after cancer treatment.

What also became important were resources for patients to be able to survive through their treatment, housing, transportation, food, low cost garments and wigs, etc.

This became even more important when in 2008 Scott again was faced again with a poor diagnosis of breast cancer, this time resulting in bilateral mastectomies and aggressive hormone depleting treatment.

Scott was going to be off work for quite some time and an ensuing infection made the time off longer.

Having met a few remarkable women associated with Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Scott was directed to Breast Cancer Solutions, an organization funded by grants from Susan G. Komen I.E. Breast Cancer Solutions helped pay for Scott’s housing and utilities as well as provided food certificates until Scott’s disability payments kicked in.

“There is always that month or six weeks until disability starts that patients are wondering how they are going to make it”, said Scott. Because of organizations like Komen Inland Empire and Breast Cancer Solutions, patients can concentrate on their surgeries and treatments and not worry so much about finances and food for their families.

Currently Scott is an advocate

Is there a link between diet and your mental health?

The American Counseling Association Special to Valley News Say the word “diet” and the usual reaction is that we’re talking about losing weight. Today, let’s talk about diet as simply our daily food choices, the ones we often make without giving them much thought.

While our food choices certainly affect our weight, they also play an important role in our emotional well-being and overall mental health. Numerous studies have found that the foods we consume play a large role in how we feel and act.

Most parents, for example, have seen how a sugar high affects their kids.

Although numerous studies have failed to find a link between sugar and hyperactivity, just about any mom will tell you that her son or daughter seems more excited or active after eating a sugary snack.

The reason may not be so much a physiological link as a psychological one. Eating foods we like makes us feel better, and most of us are genetically programmed to like sweet-tasting things. Our love of sweet tastes comes from our ancient ancestors who learned that sweet fruits and veggies were ripe and ready to eat.

Recent studies have found even more direct links between our food choices and mental health. A 2014 study of over 3,500 people reported that long-term exposure to

an unhealthy diet, one high in sugar and processed foods, appeared to increase the risk for depression.

Foods high in sugar and fat have also been cited as a risk factor leading to addictive eating. Sugar and fat trigger the same pleasure centers in the brain that addictive drugs do. The pleasurable feelings that come from eating such foods help relieve stress and cause people to overeat or even to binge eat.

Being more aware of your food choices and how they affect your moods and overall mental health can help lead to a healthier and happier you.

If you think your food choices are affecting your moods or well being, try keeping a food diary for several days of what you eat

and how you feel afterwards. You may find that you are turning to unhealthy choices and overeating simply to feel better.

That information can help lead you to making healthier choices.

Or, if extra help is needed, talk to your family physician, a local nutritionist or a professional counselor to help steer your diet back on track for better physical and mental health.

Breast Self-Awareness Editor’s note: October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Every week this month Valley News will provide readers with extensive coverage on things to look for and what to do if you or a loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer.

This week, Susan G. Komen Inland Empire offers the following tips on breast cancer awareness.

Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can be successfully treated. Screening tests can find cancer early, when chances for survival are highest.

1. Know your risk Talk to both sides of your family to learn about your family health history Talk to your provider about your personal risk of breast cancer

2. Get screened Talk with your doctor about which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk Have a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk Have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years starting at age 20, and every year starting at age 40 Sign up for your screening reminder at www.komen.org/ reminder 3. Know what is normal for you See your health care provider if you notice any of these breast changes: Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast

How to get enough protein on a vegetarian diet TEMECULA – One of the first questions vegetarians are asked when acknowledging their dietary preferences is, “Are you getting enough protein?” Many people assume it’s impossible to consume sufficient protein on a diet that consists largely of fruits and vegetables. But many vegetarians get the protein their bodies need.

Many people are overly concerned with protein intake, eating more than they really need to meet

health requirements. The recommended daily allowance of protein in the United States is .36 grams of protein for every pound a person weighs. Many people need less protein than they think, which is likely one reason many non-vegetarians eat roughly one-third more protein than vegetarians. The Vegetarian Resource Group says there are no distinct health advantages to consuming a diet high in protein.

How protein works The body digests protein into amino acids to fuel its activity and aid in tissue repair. There are 20 different amino acids in food, but the human body can only make 11 of them. Your body cannot synthesize essential amino acids, which must come from your diet. The nine essential amino acids, which cannot be produced by the body, must be obtained strictly from food. Foods that contain all of the amino acids

necessary are called complete protein sources.

Many animal products are great sources of complete protein, but complete protein also can be found in plant-based foods. One food that is a complete protein source is the soybean.

Other plant-based foods may not be complete proteins by themselves, but when eaten together, can complement one another to provide all the necessary amino acids. For example, combining beans and legumes with certain grains, seeds and nuts is a way to get the protein one needs.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that intentionally combining foods at strict ratios is not necessary. As long as your diet contains a variety of foods, many protein needs

are easily met.

Less protein healthier?

Many fad diets point to high protein sources for weight loss and improved athletic performance.

But reports published in journals like “Nutrition and Cancer” and the “American Journal of Epidemiology” indicates high intake of protein, particularly animal protein, may be linked to osteoporosis, cancer and impaired kidney function.

Eating a healthy, moderate amount of protein, such as that in vegetarian or vegan diets can be beneficial.

Many vegetarians need not worry about their protein intake. As long as diets include plenty of grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, vegetarians can meet their bodies’ protein needs.

Susan G. Komen Founder Nancy Brinker observes the crowd at the start of an early Race for the Cure.

Courtesy photos Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

That promise is now Susan G. Komen, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $2.2 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and advocates, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.

Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

Susan G. Komen Inland Empire was incorporated in 1998 and hosted its inaugural Race for the Cure in 1999. The Komen Inland Empire service area covers more than 27,000 square miles, serving a population of over 4.3 million residents throughout San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

Through events and donations, Susan G. Komen is able to bring funding and hope to the fight against breast cancer. Each year the Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure, and other Affiliate events, raise significant funds and increase awareness for breast cancer, celebrate survivorship, and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease.

“There’s a Hero In All of Us!” This is our theme for the 17th Annual Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure on Oct. 18, at The Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium and what we hope will be your call to action. It reminds us that we all have the ability as individuals to make a difference in our community. We have the ability to impact the lives of thousands of uninsured and underinsured women, men and families throughout the Inland Empire, who are coping with breast cancer.

Join us as we continue to make an impact in our communities Last year alone, thanks to the

Special Guest-Virgil Gibson, Former Lead Singer for the famous Platters will sing inspirational songs and our local Gospel Latte will give a moving performance for all of our courageous survivors, guests and race participants.

Gibson invites you to participate in the Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure® and meet him on the main stage at 10am!

Did You Know?

• Worldwide, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women.

Survivors pose for a quick photo prior to the start of a previous Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure.

• One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes, and one woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes in the U.S. • In the U.S., an estimated 232,670 new invasive cases of breast cancer will occur in 2014, and more than 40,000 individuals are expected to die of breast cancer.

• 62,570 new cases of in situ breast cancer (This includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Of those, about 83 percent will be DCIS. DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer and LCIS is a condition that increases the risk of invasive breast cancer.

• Breast cancer in men is rare, but it does happen. In 2014, it is estimated 2,360 new cases and 430 breast cancer deaths.

• Breast Cancer information from Susan G. Komen Facts for Life can be found online at www.komen.org.

Each year the Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure, and other Affiliate events, raise significant funds and increase awareness for breast cancer, celebrate survivorship, and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease. generosity of more than 80 sponsors, 8589 participants, 303 teams, 583 survivors and 600 volunteers, the 2014 Inland Empire Race for the Cure raised $672,553. Generations from all walks of life, came together with hope, energy and a renewed commitment to support the Komen Promise – “To save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.”

Where the money goes

Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds from the Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure, and other donations, remain in our service area for mission programs to provide breast health/breast cancer education, screening, patient navigation, diagnostic services and treatment support programs for uninsured/underinsured women and families in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, while 25 percent supports the Susan G. Komen Research and Grants Training Program.

Komen Inland Empire has awarded community grants total-

ing over $6.4 million dollars to local non-profit organizations since 1999 and invested over $2.3 million to Susan G. Komen Grants Program. One hundred percent of the funding sent by the Inland Empire affiliate goes to research only.

Although we are making progress, one in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with this life-threatening disease in her lifetime. Men are not immune, with almost 2,000 new cases of male breast cancer diagnosed each year.

We thank you for your dedication to support these efforts through your registration, fundraising and participation in the 17th Annual Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure, and other year round affiliate events. With your support we can help save lives and make an impact.

What affects the risk of getting breast cancer?

The causes of breast cancer are not fully known. However, researchers have identified a number of factors that increase (or decrease) the chances of getting breast cancer. These are called risk factors. Breast cancer is complex and likely caused by a combination of risk factors. Some factors you may be able to control – like exercise. Yet, some are out of your control, such as age. Some are still unknown. Since you can only control some risk factors, you cannot avoid some amount of risk. For example, the two most common risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and getting older.

Most risk factors that you have some control over only have a small effect on risk. This means there is no one behavior that will prevent breast cancer. But, it also means there is no one factor that will cause it.

Talk to your health care provider about your personal risk.

Some factors linked to a higher risk of breast cancer: • Being a woman • Getting older (breast cancer risk

increases with age) • An inherited mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 breast cancer genes • A family history of breast or ovarian cancer • High breast density on a mammogram • Hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) • A personal history of breast cancer (including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) • Exposure to large amounts of radiation at a young age • Never having children or having a first child after age 35 • Younger age at first period (before age 12) • Older age at menopause (age 55 or older) • Alcohol use • Ashkenazi Jewish heritage • Current or recent use of birth control pills • Current or recent use (for more than 5 years) of menopausal hormone therapy (postmenopausal hormone use) containing estrogen plus progestin

• Being overweight or weight gain as an adult (postmenopausal breast cancer) • Not breastfeeding • Lack of exercise Some factors linked to a lower risk of breast cancer: • Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight • Getting regular exercise • Limiting alcohol • Avoiding menopausal hormones containing estrogen plus progestin • Breastfeeding, if you can Age: a major factor A woman’s chance of getting breast cancer increases with age.

Komen Race for the Cure’s Honorary New Balance Breast Cancer Survivor tells her story In 1992, Nancy Molka was only 36-years-old when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast. She was stage 3 and had breast cancer cells in 14 lymph nodes.

For her treatment she underwent a mastectomy, had six months of chemotherapy and six weeks radiation.

“Following that I was on tamoxifen for five years,” she said.

Unfortunately for Molka, the time she spent battling breast cancer wasn’t the only battle she would have with the deadly disease. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her right breast just four short years after the initial diagnosis and underwent a mastectomy and six more months of chemotherapy.

Fast forward to 2006, when the disease made another appearance in her life. This time the disease had spread to her bones.

“In June 2006 the cancer spread to my hip bones and I underwent 15 radiation treatments in my left hip and in December 2007 it spread to my lower back and I underwent another 15 treatments in my back area. Again I was put on chemotherapy,” she said.

The aggressive disease continued to plague Molka and in July 2008 she found a lump in her neck and a rash on her back.

“Both were biopsied and showed positive for breast cancer,” she said, adding that once again she found herself going through chemotherapy.

“In August 2009 a PET scan showed cancer cells in the lining around my lung and I again started chemotherapy - three weeks on and one off,” Molka said. “I was on for

three years.”

Molka’s fight wasn’t over yet, though. In March 2015 three active lesions were diagnosed in her brain.

“Panic set in but after speaking to my oncologist I realized they had a plan for this,” she said.

“Five sessions of radio surgery (non-evasive surgery done with radioactive waves) were done over a week period. Again with minimal side effects – mostly fatigue.”

While Molka lives with her cancer, she doesn’t let it bring her down. She remains positive and even though she continues to battle the cancer; she continues to work and fight the good fight.

“I’m blessed in that during all of my cancer treatments I’ve worked fulltime. Fatigue right now is my constant side effect and the company I work for understands that and works with me through it,” she said.

Molka said her battle with breast cancer has been a long and challenging road for her and it’s something she never stops thinking about.

“I’m now living with a chronic disease called breast cancer,” she said adding, that the formal name of her cancer is metastatic infiltrating ductal carcinoma, an advanced breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

“But many people live with chronic diseases – diabetes, emphysema, and many others,” Molka said.

“A cancer diagnosis is no longer what it once was,” she said.

“Treatment for breast cancer has come a long way since I was first diagnosed 23 years ago.”

Her cancer experience and the

desire to help others is why she participates in the Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure.

“It’s only through research that treatments become available,” Molka explained. “That’s why I’m

so proud of the money raised by my daughter and myself for the Susan G. Komen organization. Through them more research is being done and more women who have not had access to cancer diagnosis and

treatment are being helped. It’s my pleasure to work with the Komen Inland Empire Affiliate and participate in the Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure. I hope to do this for a long, long time!”

Dining in the Valley Archibald’s Restaurant in Lake Elsinore celebrates 15 year anniversary

Courtesy photos

I

t started with an idea in 2000 for owner Andy Sehremelis, to build a fast food restaurant that was the kind of place he wanted his family to eat out. Now, five Archibald’s Restaurants in Southern California later, he has created his dream – a restaurant that creates fast-made food diverse enough to satisfy any customer.

It’s now been 15 years since this family owned and operated Archibald’s Drive Thru and Restaurant Char-Broiler has been in business. Archibald’s still believes in providing great food at a reasonable price with dedication to outstanding service.

Inside, the sports and classic decor gives a feeling of fun and whimsy for a restaurant “hang out” atmosphere that is fun for the whole family.

The name Archibald’s was determined by the street address of the first restaurant in Ontario. Every location is unique in size though the interior concept is the same. Bright primary colors, fun and funky vibe await those who dine inside rather than use the convenient drive through.

Bear in mind, when you order drive through at Archibald’s you may have a longer wait time than what you’d experience at another fast food chain. Restaurant goers come for the variety of food and quick to the table menu items. From burgers and corn dogs to gyros or Mexican food, if you have a picky fast food eater, this is a one stop shop for the whole family.

With locations in Chino Hills, Lake Elsinore, Belmont Shore of Long Beach, Ontario and Victorville, Archibald’s continues to serve fun fast food and the communities this chain calls home.

“My father, George, came (to the United States) from Greece when he was 15-years-old, and worked until he could start a restaurant of his own,” Sehremelis said in a recent interview, adding that he began helping out in his father’s restaurant when he was a little boy.

Sehremelis had originally planned to open up a burger joint franchise, but decided that what Southern California needed was

ing football season, Archibald’s offers what they consider a balanced diet of great food, cold beer, and live sports on the interior television screens.

Happy hour specials are available.

Served all day, every day the Archibald’s breakfast menu includes what you’d expect and then some for a fast food joint. Look for breakfast burritos, morning muffin sandwiches, a specialty breakfast sandwich or biscuits and gravy. Large breakfast plates offer everything from a fresh egg, bacon, sausage, or ham plate to the steak and eggs and chorizo scramble.

“The most reviewed sandwiches at Archibald’s include the pastrami sandwich – served with mustard and pickles on a French roll, to the pastrami reuben, including sauerkraut and Swiss cheese served on rye bread.” something fresh and different.

“I was going to start a Burger King, but decided to design a burger place all of my own,” he said.

From the menu to the décor, Archibald’s is the perfect place for a meal out with the family, before or after a game, or to get food to-go for families headed to weekend games or for weeknight sports parents.

Dine-in, or carry out is available to serve diners' needs. When you go, check their Facebook fan page to see what specials are on tap. Dur-

Pancakes, French toast, hotcakes and build-your-own omelets are also on the menu. Breakfast is served all day long at Archibald’s.

Families look for kids and senior meal specials served all day, as well.

If lunch is more up your alley, look for everything from unique specialty salads like the Greek salad, charbroiled chicken breast salad, to the less heart healthy but local favorite side dishes chili cheese fries, fried zucchini fries or onion rings.

At Archibald’s, sandwiches are king and the offering from this menu is bound to please even the most finicky eater. The most reviewed sandwiches at Archibald’s include the pastrami sandwich – served with mustard and pickles on a French roll, to the pastrami reuben, including sauerkraut and Swiss cheese served on rye bread, or if you like a little spice, the Ortega chicken breast sandwich, that comes with lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, and an Ortega chili served on a wheat bun. Adventurous eaters should try the gyro sandwich, served the traditional Greek way, with onion, tomato and a cucumber dressing.

The south of the border menu will not disappoint and there is something for everyone including ground beef tacos, bean and cheese burritos, or the ever popular carne asada nachos.

What Archibald’s considers their signature menu items include the Frisco boy burger, complete with two patties of beef served in layers of veggies and sandwich bread, to the DUI Fries, their late night “hangover” cure – a smothered with everything French fries basket.

“My favorite menu item is the breakfast burrito, stuffed with

scrambled eggs, cheese, hash browns, with either bacon, sausage, or carne asada,” Sehremelis said.

“That or the Greek salad.”

The large menu is part of the reason Archibald’s has become a local Southern California mainstay for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night snack food according to Sehremelis.

“Not only do we take pride in our food, but we also are proud to support the community,” he said through his website. Fundraising through Archibald’s is easy, and many local sports teams, churches, corporations and charities work with the Archibald’s chain of restaurants to raise money for their various organizations.

TEMECULA – The 10th annual Open House of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society will be held on Monday, Oct. 12. The theme for this year’s event is Bridging the Past to the Future and will be based on the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco World’s Fair and the California Exposition in San Diego’s Balboa Park. Both events celebrated the completion of the Panama Canal.

Just as visitors to these world events would have moved from building to building to view something new and exciting, visitors to the TVGS Open House will move from exhibit to exhibit viewing the many offerings of the society that may also be exciting.

Wood said that Garcia will delve into the history of the city as well as more of the murder and ghost stories in the area.

“We’ve been hoping to do something for a long time for adults at Halloween and this lends itself perfectly to the occasion with a little bit of local history with a little twist to it,” Wood said.

According to Wood, there is a lot of buzz about the program that is based on the museum’s popular walking tours.

“I know they have been doing the walking tours since around 2013,” Wood said. “He has some interesting tidbits about what people thought was the last person to be hung under California law. It adds to the local legend of ghosts in Temecula.

He has a lot of really cool snippets of information that a lot of people don’t know.”

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

TEMECULA – The culmination of Southern California Wine Country’s fall harvest will be celebrated, Sunday, Nov. 8, when 10 wineries invite visitors to indulge in a full-day of sampling select wines artistically paired with the perfect cuisine. While much of the event which started 25 years ago will be familiar, organizers have changed this year and made adjustments to appeal to wine aficionados.

Previously organized by the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association, ​a more intimate version of the event will be hosted ​this year ​by Grapeline Wine Tours, a Temeculabased company that offers wine tasting tours in Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Paso Robles and Temecula.

“The event was difficult for the Winegrowers Association to sustain,” explained Graprline President Kim Kelliher. “Winery participation was mandatory, and as wine country grew more popular, many wineries could no longer adequately handle the allweekend event. We realized we could make some desired changes and keep the tradition alive.”

The traditional event format – showcasing samples of premium wines and chef-inspired food pairings – remains the same. The new features include hosted transportation for every guest, a shift from a two-day weekend format to only one day on the less-busy Sunday, and optional participation by ​​Temecula wineries.

“The changes should result in a higher level of service for guests,” Kelliher ​said​. ​ “Including a smaller number of participating wineries a​ llows us and the wineries to provide more VIP treatment,” explained Kelliher. “And including a low-cost transportation method solves the DD problem for everyone.”

through fund-raising, advocacy and volunteerism, they promote awareness of and support for the library as it serves the informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs of our Community. Their monthly meetings serve as a low-key cultural event for our local residents, providing the op-

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Landscaping larger properties

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscaper Designer Hello Neighbors and fellow gardeners! First let me just say, aren’t we all just so thrilled to have received some rain on Sunday?

Just fantastic, and remember to adjust or turn off your irrigation for several days after rain like that, we sure needed it! I’d like to talk about something this week that I’m quite well qualified to discuss but for some reason never covered it previously and that is gardening and landscaping on larger sized rural properties. I believe quite a few of my readers are in that situation, and I tend to discuss mostly gardening on residential/tract size lots and forget how many are out “in the country” as I was also for twelve years, living out in Glen

Oaks, 12 miles east of Temecula where I now live.

Why is gardening/landscaping any different out on larger parcels than in town you ask? Many reasons, from critters to the ability to grow more and larger plants that I would never recommend for a typical tract house lot. Here’s an example – when I lived out in the country, I had five acres, most of that land we left au-natural, no fencing, I’m against fencing rural property because it hinders wildlife, I had grown many trees, from Leylandii cypress, to eucalyptus, pines and California Peppers (Schinus molle), moving into town, I planted some California Peppers, I have a fairly large lot in town, about 9,000 square feet, and that was a huge mistake! Those pepper trees have roots that have ruined my entire backyard garden! They are extremely invasive and seek out water, I had to take out my raised beds because I was only watering and growing pepper tree roots eventually. These larger trees are great out where they have space, away from the house of course, and put down deep roots. In a typical tract house lot, you’re watering mostly the top foot of soil, and that’s where your roots are going to hang out!

Enough about trees, I hope that those in the country try to leave as much of their land as natural as

possible. I had 12 oaks on my land and loved them, and you will have an entire eco-system there, that you don’t want to disrupt. What we do when we landscape and garden is we disrupt the natural eco-system.

When you’re living in town, you don’t really have much of an eco system when you buy a new tract house, but in the country there is so much going on that we can never hope to duplicate. The best we

can do is to leave it alone and just observe it. Of course, you’re going to want to landscape up around the house, as I did. You can choose

How to increase the value of your home

John Occhi & Mike Mason Special to Valley News If you are considering a home improvement project – either to make the home more suitable to your family’s needs or because you are looking to add value before you sell your home – you’ll certainly want to investigate what impact your improvements will have on the value of your home.

Not every home improvement project adds value to your home and many projects that are undertaken do not add value equal to the cost of the project. We are often asked, “What are the best low-cost home renovations we can make that will make our home more comfortable while adding the biggest bang for the buck?”

First consider the bones While cosmetic improvements are always the most exciting as

they leave a visual impact with the buyer, the ‘bones’ or interior systems of the home are critical. By interior systems we are referring to both structural and mechanical elements that when combined make a house. Heating, plumbing and electrical are the basic mechanical elements of the bones. Buyers today are looking for turn-key homes and typically are not looking to invest into a home that will require any repairs, upgrades or replacements after the purchase is complete.

Start with exterior repairs and replacements Many times repair and replacement projects can increase the value of your home more than an interior remodeling project. Repairing and replacing projects can also be the least expensive type of project and not break the bank.

Roof In an older home, if the roof needs to be replaced, then you’ll want to replace it before you try and sell it. On the other hand, replacing a roof is expensive, if there are still several years of life left in those old shingles, don’t replace the roof just yet.

Windows and doors The front door, garage door, windows and even siding should all be considered as worthwhile renovations. Today’s modern windows and doors offer both curb appeal and increased energy efficiency making them a sound investment.

These improvements are not only efficient but the added curb appeal will help sell your home quickly, as well.

Landscaping Your home does not need to look like it belongs on a magazine cover to have curb appeal. What it does require is a neat well-manicured lawn, free from weeds. Add seasonal flowers to the planter areas and make sure any shrubbery is trimmed and looking good. Consider replacing it with a new flowering variety of shrubbery.

Add colored bark or stone to planter areas, keeping them looking clean and fresh.

Remember that curb appeal is all about first impressions – many times a potential buyer will just drive by a home that does not speak to them, from the curb (or worse the

First Couponing and Extreme Couponing seminar in Murrieta, teaches tips, techniques and tricks to save money Carlos Bazan-Canabal Writer

several homemakers eager to save money while shopping for groceries, personal care products, snacks, and even home electronics.

The seminar covered the basics of couponing, the differences between manufacturers’, store, and “CATalina” – or printed at register coupons, how to “stack” them, how many to use on a single transaction, and how to get the best value of purchases through loyalty, cash back, and gift card programs.

In other words, they went over the rules and regulations on couponing, and how to read the fine print.

Throughout the event, Adrianzen and Castellón showed using real examples, how to bring down a $60 plus ticket to under $5, and even profit from a particular purchase by belonging to the store’s loyalty program using coupons.

They were also happy to share

how they organize their coupons in specially designed binders.

They also covered how to obtain more coupons and where to find resources and more information on Facebook and Internet.

By the end of the seminar, both Adrianzen and Castellón raffled three bags with products and answered questions from the future couponers. Adrianzen commented that, as a daughter of a single mom (she) is blessed by being taught

by Vanessa how to couponing, as it has been a life changing opportunity, and everyone should do it.

The couponing seminar took place at the Murrieta Super Target on Clinton Keith Road. For information on future seminars, the organizers will be posting dates and location on the Temecula Talk and Murrieta Talk groups.

be sure to scratch it into the soil surface around the base of the plant, and then water it in. Apply in the concentration recommended on label; if growing in pots, use half the recommended amount, but apply it more frequently. Repeat your applications every two weeks.

When temperatures continue to be in the 90s, it is necessary to ensure plants receive adequate water to stay hydrated. It takes only a few days in these temperatures without sufficient water for a bush to become seriously stressed and even damaged. Because of California’s restrictions of water use, I suggest that with three gallons of water per HT twice per week, a HT rose bush can survive. A layer of four inches of mulch will greatly reduce evaporation of soil moisture. This year the soil dries out more quickly than in previous years due to less water being applied as in previous years and, in general, the dryer soil environment.

With potted roses this is even more critical. Assess conditions every morning. Look for wilted or dry, crispy foliage. If you discover it soon enough, dousing with plenty of water may save the plant. If you wait to inspect until the afternoon or evening it may be too late or you

might not get a good assessment of the plant’s condition.

After a hot day, most plants can appear wilted while still receiving sufficient hydration. Also inspect your irrigation system to make sure it is delivering enough water, isn’t clogged, and isn’t over watering— all problems that come with age in drip irrigation systems. If an emitter is delivering much more or much less water than others on the line, it can change the system pressure and affect the other emitters. The simple solution, replace it! If a clay pot is used more water is needed as the clay will absorb moisture from the potting soil and evaporate through the porous clay material.

Plastic pots are better as they will not absorb moisture from the soil.

Another possible problem with potted plants is the soil can pull away from the sides of the pot and water will just run through and out the drain holes in the bottom. This problem can be corrected by pressing the soil back against the inside sides of the pot when the soil is wet.

It’s not too early to start thinking about which roses you will remove and what you’ll replace them with.

Go ahead and request catalogs from rose suppliers — they’re always available. If you haven’t mulched

recently, estimate the amount of composted mulch you’ll need in order to cover your garden beds four inches deep and plan to buy it for this coming winter or spring. An area 10-foot by 5-foot will require four to five cubic yards of mulch.

A common problem when hot, dry, dusty conditions prevail is spider mites. This topic was covered in a previous care column which you can find on TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org newsletter; look for Care for September 2013.

A valuable bi-monthly magazine which covers rose topics is the “American Rose” published by the American Rose Society. Go to www.ARS.org for more information on obtaining it.

When you have a moment to spare, or feel the need to get away, or when the day cools down, take your favorite beverage, a picnic basket, and visit our local one-of-akind Rose Haven Heritage Garden at 30592 Jedediah Smith Road in Temecula (cross street is Cabrillo Avenue).

is always the best. Rip out that linoleum and tile it if you want to add value and appeal to a potential buyer.

About a decade ago, laminate flooring was the new hot thing in homes. Today they are common and not a viable substitute for wood floors. Remember, please, if you want top dollar from the sale of your home the buyer is going to want top end materials used throughout the home – you will when you go shopping for a new home, so give your potential buyers the same experience.

The kitchen is the very heart and soul of your home. Anything you can do to improve your kitchen will undoubtedly improve the value of your home. There are many minor projects you can take on that will add to the overall appeal and warmth of the kitchen. Start with a fresh coat of paint.

Consider new flooring, especially if you have vinyl or laminate.

Tile is always best in the kitchen.

Just like in the bathroom, consider new plumbing and lighting fixtures to give the room a more modern and contemporary look.

New kitchen cabinets are always nice, but if it’s not in the budget then look into resurfacing the existing cabinet doors and drawer faces.

This is much less expensive and will go a great distance at changing the overall appearance of the kitchen. Of course you can sand down the cabinets yourself and add either a cost of paint or stain giving them a new look. While this is a very labor intense project, it is relatively inexpensive.

A very affordable trick is to replace the drawer pulls and cabinet knobs – this simple project is both quick and inexpensive and can go a long way at adding a new personality to a tired and worn room.

Today’s buyers almost always expect granite countertops (or some other solid surface – never tile or linoleum) and they are one of the projects that will return with the highest offers for your home.

plan will create a flow throughout the home which in turn makes the home feel larger and offer move line of site throughout the home, perfect for both family living, and entertaining.

If you have an older home, consider removing one or several interior walls. Of course, you’ll have to pull permits for this and verify that you’re not disturbing a load bearing wall. Electrical and plumbing considerations may also have to be made. While it can be a bit more expensive to open up a home’s interior, the benefits and appeal it will have to potential buyers is staggering.

Through means of reality TV all of us have been exposed to the extreme couponers that can easily convert a large product purchase to just a few dollars, pennies, or even profit by just using coupons the right way.

This past Sunday, Oct. 4, Chelsea Adrianzen from Murrieta and Vanessa Castellón from French Valley hosted the first ever free seminar on couponing and extreme couponing in the area. Residents of Murrieta and neighboring communities were able to learn from the tips, techniques, and lingo of couponing.

The event was promoted by the organizers on the Murrieta Talk Facebook group, where they were able to draw the attention of

healthy canes or even the entire plant. If planning to have roses for a special occasion later this year, it will take six to eight weeks from this pruning and feeding.

After pruning, restart your feeding program. Make sure the plants are watered the day before. I recommend organic types and alternating with fish emulsions. Use a fertilizer that contains greater percentage of (P) phosphate in relation to (N) nitrogen and (K) potassium.

This will assist the resistance to any stress and encourage stronger root systems. If temperatures are in 90s or above and you do not use organic hold off fertilizing until weather cools. If you use a fertilizer that is first dissolved in water, apply it right over the bush from top to bottom. A hybrid tea would need about two gallons of solution and should be watered in after a couple of days.

If you use a dry granular product,

The recent showers were a nice respite from the high temperatures and dry windy weather, but they are misleading, the moisture is only temporary and doesn’t sink very deeply.

The outlook is for high temps to return and maybe even triple digits.

Last month I gave illustrations and descriptions for mid-season pruning with a suggested time line for pruning and restarting your feeding program. What may not have been clear is that this is a light pruning, and must be carefully calibrated with the weather conditions.

Specifically, when temps remain in the 90-plus range, you must take care to not remove too much foliage because this can over expose canes to the fierce sun and sunburn them.

Interior living space needs attention as well Your home interior is where you live and want to feel both secure and comfortable. There are many things to consider when choosing which project to take on. Even if your plan is to stay long term in your home, try and look at each potential project as a buyer would, coming through the house for the first time – what will their reaction be?

Bathroom improvements Some will argue that the bathrooms are the most important room(s) in the house when it comes time to sell. No one wants to buy a home that is perceived to have a grungy bathroom. There are a number of inexpensive replacement projects you can take on that will help give the bathroom some zing.

For under $100 you should be able to find a nice spa-style shower head. It’s amazing how everyone notices a nice shower head when looking at a home they are considering to buy.

Redo the bathroom floor with a neutral color tile for maximum resale value. Replace those dated plumbing and light fixtures – you’ll be amazed at how far a couple of hundred dollars can go in making a total transformation in this important room in your home.

While you’re at it, spend just a few dollars more and replace those dated towel bars and paper holders as well. If there is a window, then don’t forget the window treatment.

Of course, you’ll want a fresh coat of paint and this room is set.

Flooring The first thing anyone notices when they enter a home is the flooring, after all everyone looks where they walk, right? What do your floors say, “I am tired, I am worn out, I am beat up?” Well, then it’s time for an upgrade.

The kitchen and bathrooms are two of the most important floors in the home. They should NEVER be carpet or wood (water and wood just don’t go well together). Tile

Open floor plan Newer homes today are typically built with an open floor plan or a floor plan that does not have interior walls defining individual rooms in the home. An open floor

Market your home for sale When it comes time to sell your home, you’ll want to maximize the improvements you’ve made and make every potential buyer aware of each. You’ll want to show off all of your hard work and capital improvements you’ve made. It’s important that every potential buyer who either comes to your home to preview it or is just surfing the internet is aware of everything you’ve done to the place. You’ll want to have an agent representing you that will provide marketing materials that will show off exactly what you’ve accomplished. The improvements you’ve made will influence the price you ultimately sell your home for so it’s critical to showcase this to a buyer and influence them to decide what they will pay for your home.

Home & Garden / Real Estate LANDSCAPING from page D-1 from so many incredible plants, you have the space to do that. I grew over 250 antique/heirloom roses on my land, they were all on drip emitters, and some of these roses get very large, I’m talking 12-14 feet across and 6 feet high! But you can grow those when you have the space. I spent years refining those roses that did especially well for me, I tolerated zero disease, and they had to have good fragrance etc. I had lots of room for raised veggie beds, however had to take extra precautions to make sure squirrels and rabbits didn’t decimate my crops – eventually I created what I called “Ft. Knox” – with a lot of help from my husband of course – who completely fenced in an area that we’d run irrigation to and then ran the chicken wire down into the ground to prevent gophers from getting in.

Oh, by the way, just a heads up here – you will have gophers, they only go where there is water, soil has to be soft enough to dig in, so utilizing drip irrigation, you’ll find them only where that is – until the rains come. Then they’re coming, as then they can easily dig many tunnels linking various areas around your landscaping. Keep a vigilant eye open for them! They will be having their babies in the spring and you don’t want them all out there, it can be a nightmare, especially due to the soft soil they can dig everywhere.

I sat on my patio one day, was fondly gazing out at my garden when all of a sudden I saw an entire tomato plant start to move! Not only did it shake but then slowly I watched it go down, down, down into a hole in the ground!

If you have the space the only limit is your imagination.

wire and leave that up for a couple seasons until the plant’s had a chance to become established, otherwise rabbits will nibble!

I’d also like to point out, that typically on rural property, you have a lot of good soil (jealous!) because most of it hasn’t been removed, in those areas, I highly recommend planting native plants whenever possible, and I will be covering natives next week.

Here in the city, we have soil that has little to no top soil left, typically either gravel or clay and very difficult to raise many natives in clay soil, there’s a few, but most prefer well draining soil, and you’ve got it, just look for the undisturbed areas on your property.

Yes, it was a gopher, and although I do not kill any animals, this is the one exception to that rule.

Not only are they ugly, but they can do a lot of damage. So, what you want to have on hand is something called “The Black Hole”, unless they’ve changed the name, it’s a trap that you set, and you will bury it into the freshest mound you can find, leaving the hole at the top open. The gopher will come back that run and seeing the light, at the end of the hole he thinks he just closed up/ He will go to investigate – sorry buddy, end of gopher! I’ve gotten them in half an hour after setting the trap. You can leave the body out for coyotes or whatever if you so desire. I used to live trap squirrels and rabbits and transport them a couple miles away where I saw more oaks trees and let ‘em loose. Probably should’ve tagged ‘em because I’d swear some of them started to look familiar!

Any new plants that you put in bare root, be sure to surround with chicken

Snakes – leave them alone! They are actually good to have around, they will take care of your rodents for you, so forget about using any poisons, try to let nature take care of the work for you. It will if you just let it.

I had over 200 California Quail on my property and they would roost in my oaks at night, but every day around 4-5 p.m. they would all head for the side of my house where they knew I’d be throwing out seed for them. I went through about 40 pounds a month, but it was worth it. Hawks would occasionally grab one at the feeder, but since I was helping nature by giving them supplemental food and allowing more of them to live than would have

normally, I didn’t feel so bad about it, I was also helping those Red-tailed hawks to live as well.

Drought may be causing shifts in pest invasion behavior This summer, numerous California news stories have reported increased pest problems in homes and landscapes, citing the drought as the cause. Pest control companies quoted in articles confirm that demand for their services is much higher than in past years.

The drought may be driving more invasions by annoying insects such as ants, but not necessarily for the reasons one might expect.

Many people are asking, “Why are there so many more pests this year than usual?”

People may just be seeing more pests, according to an urban integrated pest management (IPM) advisor with UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

“The overall abundance of pests probably hasn’t changed and may even have decreased as compared to wet years,” said Andrew Sutherland, Ph.D., urban IPM advisor for the San Francisco Bay Area. “The real questions we should be asking are ‘Why are these pests appearing earlier in the year?’ and ‘Why are the pests appearing all at once as opposed to throughout the year?’”

Sutherland says that landscape drydown has occurred more rapidly in recent years, so there may have been a more dramatic shift from high moisture to low moisture, making the nuisance pests migrate earlier in the year and in a more concentrated manner.

“This is also the first year we’ve seen dramatic changes made by residents due to mandated water-use restrictions,” Sutherland said. “Areas with frequent irrigation and lush landscapes aren’t available this year so nuisance pests like outdoor cockroaches, ants and crickets are migrating from dry

areas to seek moisture.”

This search may lead the thirsty pests to homes, garages or landscape that they haven’t visited before. The IPM advisor used oriental cockroaches as an example.

“Oriental cockroaches are highly dependent on moisture and humidity and are not normally found indoors,” said Sutherland. “Outdoors, if you have an irrigation control box, leaky hosebib or water meter box, or a French drain system, that’s where you’ll find them. But if this water supply has been reduced or shut off, this population you didn’t even know of – that may have existed for years – may crawl under doors or into foundation cracks and move indoors in search of water.”

Sutherland advises against relying on perimeter pesticide sprays to treat for nuisance pests since these applications are effective for only a short time and therefore only represent temporary solutions. Instead, Sutherland recommends using IPM methods, such as exclusion and habitat modification, which provide more long-lasting pest invasion prevention.

To learn more about home, garden, turf and landscape pests and how to exclude them, visit the UC Integrated Pest Management website at www.ipm. ucanr.edu/PMG/menu.house.html. For more advice on pest problems, contact the UC Master Gardeners at a local UC Cooperative Extension office http:// ucanr.edu/County_Offices.

UC Agriculture and Natural Resources researchers and educators draw on local expertise to conduct agricultural, environmental, economic, youth development and nutrition research that helps California thrive.

Murrieta Rotary announces U.S. Navy veteran and long-time journalist John Hunneman as September’s Hero of the Month The Rotary Club of Murrieta has named John Hunneman as Hero of the Month for September. A U.S. Navy veteran, Hunneman covered events and news in Southwest Riverside County as a journalist and columnist for a quarter century. In early 2015, he was named director of communications for then newly elected State Senator Jeff Stone, yet he continues to write a weekly column for The Valley News.

The Hero Honors, instituted this summer, is part of the build up to Murrieta Rotary’s Field of Honor which will be staged in Town Square Park, Nov. 8-14.

Each month before the 2,015 flags are posted, a Hero – individual or group – will be selected. The heroes will be honored at the Patriot’s Ball concluding the week-long Field.

Heroes previously selected include Ginger Greaves, executive director of the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation,

who was Hero of the Month for August. Warfighter Made, a Murrieta organization that provides recreational therapy to ill, injured and combat wounded service members and veterans, was the Murrieta Rotary’s Hero of the month for July.

Hunneman and his wife, Yvonne, have been active volunteers in the community since moving to Murrieta in 1988.

They both served on the Community Recreation Center Building Foundation and are still active volunteers at the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival. John coached and managed Murrieta Valley Little League teams for more than a dozen years, and both he and Yvonne were active in the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks Football Booster Club. John has

Brothers bring own style of urban apparel to Temecula ous hats and t-shirts feature phrases such as “Success, Nothing Less” and “Humble.” Though Mohammad knows the latter phrase can carry the opposite connotation, he and his brothers intended to remind people of the dangers of arrogance.

“It’s not saying ‘I am humble’, it’s saying to ‘be humble.’ It’s a constant reminder,” Mohammad explained.

In a world where communities are becoming more and more diverse, the brothers hope their clothes will bridge the gap between cultural trends, like graffiti art and hip-hop, and inspirational values. With a family of Persian descent, the owners say they owe it to their heritage for their tight-knit relationship and desire to spread a sense of unity throughout Temecula.

“We wanted something with more depth. We felt like the stuff out there was very superficial and not very deep, so we cultivated this brand, tying in our culture and heritage,” Mohammad said. Though not every piece of clothing contains an inspirational statement, the brothers include subtle hints and creative graphics on their products to spark imagination while promoting powerful messages.

“A lot of people just throw on a tshirt and go. But it’s more than that.

It’s more than just the cloth on your back. It’s more about the message and the constant reminder,” said Mohammad.

In the future, the brothers hope

For brothers Michael, Martin and Mathew Mohammad, residents of Temecula and owners of Mallak Clothing, style isn’t just about what a person is wearing – it’s about what they’re saying.

Since 2011, the brothers have been investigating, creating, and revolutionizing street-fashion through their online clothing business, a dream that began long before Mallak Clothing became an official store. As teenagers, the brothers keenly observed the evolving trends around them, sparking the idea for Mallak Clothing.

“We just were very inspired by what was going on in the urban street apparel community,” said Mathew Mohammad. “We were very interested in that, and wanted to be a part of that.”

But the brothers never wanted to limit their vision to selling clothes.

Even more so, they wanted to make a statement. The name of the store itself is an acronym which stands for “May All Live Life Among Kings,” a wish of goodwill and prosperity. The brothers hope that it will inspire those who hear it to greatness.

“That’s a mission statement. And it’s kings and queens. It’s just living life to your full potential,” Mohammad said.

Rotary Launches Leadership Program for New Employees

He has been the master of ceremonies for the Murrieta Field of Honor’s Candlelight Ceremony, featuring Murrieta Valley Unified School District schools choirs, for five years.

For his contributions to the community, John was named Citizen of the Year by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce in 1992 and a “John Hunneman Day” was proclaimed by the Temecula City Council in 2004.

He’s even been honored with a public restroom, dubbed “The Hunneman Head,” located on Sixth Street in Old Town Temecula.

to expand their clothing collection, connect more people in the community, and set up shop in a physical location. Most of all, however, they hope to continue impacting customers by spreading the idea that clothes “make the man” and can serve an even greater purpose by carrying valuable reminders.

“If it comes to fame, fortune, and opportunity, just remember to stay humble and don’t lose sight of what’s important,” said Mohammad.

For more business news or to comment on this story online, visit www. myvalleynews.com.

On Nov.13, the Rotary Club of Temecula will be hosting a one-day leadership development program for new employees. RoNET, as it’s called, will be held at the Conference Center at Temecula City Hall. The cost to businesses is $75 per employee.

RoNET is designed for employees who have been in the workforce for one year and from their employers’ perspective, show potential.

The purpose of the program is to accelerate the development of soft skills required to be successful in the workplace. Topics will include business ethics, communication styles, leadership styles, expectations and responsibilities and will be delivered in an interactive, experiential way.

The program will last the full day and be facilitated by community leaders Jana Swenson, Bob Derse, Mike Hoover, and Bill LaForge Ph.D. It’s modeled after a successful three-

day program that a Rotary Club in Pennsylvania has been facilitating for several years.

“It’s and introduction to real world dynamics which they might not have fully recognized in their academic lives,” said” Derse, who is new to the region.

Prior to coming to California, Derse was involved in the Pennsylvania program for four years and based on its success, suggested we adopt it here.

Businesses interested in having their employees participate should contact Jim McLaughlin at (951) 225-2179 or by email at jim@ morrisonmcnabb.com.

Opinion

Remember to turn off those sprinklers when it rains Kim Harris Managing Editor This was one of those weeks where I struggled trying to decide what I should focus my editorial on.

There are so many issues that need to be addressed, but then, I walked my dogs and saw water waste that just made me mad, again.

It rained on both Sunday and Monday, and I do believe so far this year, I have seen more rain this season than I had since moving here in 2012 which is surely a good thing.

While we are in a historic drought Dear Editor Hi, my name is Josephine Barajas. I’m 17 years old and attend Chaparral High School. I recently read the article “County Superintendent of Schools offers veterans diplomas.”

I really loved this article because I think it’s so noble and brave to become a veteran to protect this country. It’s unfortunate that some amazing veterans were unable to receive a high school diploma. It’s so awesome how someone changed the life of those who protect our

any rain helps and I’ll take what I can get. But what bothers me more than anything is stepping outside my door to walk my four-legged friends and seeing many of the neighborhood yards with sprinklers going full blast.

Yes, I know that the majority of the water used in California is used for agriculture and that what we use on our yards and in our homes is just a drop in the bucket – pun fully intended – but we received just under a quarter of an inch according to my trusty rain gauge. So my question to you is why are those country by giving them a high school diploma.

Getting a high school diploma is a huge accomplishment and I’m glad these men were able to receive one. It’s so nice to see that this was included in the news and loved reading about it. I feel more things like this should be done for those who do so much for us and our country.

Josephine Barajas Temecula, Calif.

Why are Temecula residents continuing to subsidize Developers?

While everyone from the California Governor, (Moonbeam) to the Temecula City Council members keep trying to sell us on “Water Conservation” they really don’t seem to be doing anything about it, except talk.

Until the so called water shortage, I had a beautiful park that I had built for my wife to honor our younger days when the most we could afford was to go to a public park on nice summer days to polish the car and enjoy a picnic.

Our park provided an Easter Egg Hunt for our granddaughter and her friends that is until the water shortage were we could no longer afford to water our once beautiful park and we wanted to do our part to conserve water.

Flash forward to this morning.

While walking our dog this morning, I came across a developer who was getting ready to water DIRT so that he could build a home. When

I asked how he could be getting ready to put our valuable water resources on dirt to build a home, he said that he had a “Grading Permit” and that if I had a problem with this, to take it up with the Temecula City Council.

So the question you must ask yourself, “is there really a water shortage in California, in Temecula?” I walk my dog every morning and I see the brown lawns, “everyone doing their part” but the Temecula City Council and Rancho Water don’t seem to being doing their part. They are still issuing “Grading Permits” (requires water) and “Building Permits” (more people using water). It appears that the Temecula City Council is still pandering to the developers.

Just my observation.

Research animals might get another chance Marie Waldron Special to Valley News Most of us love beagles. Their eager-to-please, calm personalities make them the perfect pet. This trait also makes them perfect for research purposes. But what happens after these animals are no longer needed for research?

As a dog owner and animal lover, I am interested in protecting animals that have been used for research in our colleges and universities. Currently, there are no federal or state guidelines pertaining to post-research adoption policies for animals used in scientific or medical research. Obviously, once they are no longer needed for this purpose, these dogs and cats should be released for adoption whenever possible.

To help accomplish this, I have joined Assemblyman Matt Dababneh (D – Encino), as the principal co-author of Assembly Bill 147, sponsored by the Beagle Freedom Project. It requires any postsecond-

ary educational institution that uses dogs or cats for research to offer the animals to adoption or rescue organizations if it is determined they are suitable for adoption.

While many colleges and universities already have internal adoption programs, this measure will create a statewide standard to supplement those policies.

I am pleased to report that AB 147 received final legislative approval on Aug. 27. The bill has been forwarded to Governor Brown and awaits his signature. If you would like to contact the Governor to request he sign AB 147, please give his office a call at (916) 445-2841 or send him a fax at (916) 558-3160. You may also email Governor Brown through his website at https://govnews.ca.gov/ gov39mail/mail.php.

Hopefully, by taking this small step we can ensure that research animals in California have a chance at a full, happy life with a loving human family.

NEWS

sprinklers still on?

Most of the yards in my neighborhood are now riddled with brown spots that seem to increase in size every day, and I’m happy to report that two more of my neighbors have joined the trend and now have gone to drought tolerant landscaping. Kudos to them and all the others who have decided to reduce their water footprint; we are working to make a difference, no matter how minuscule it may seem at the time.

I get that we all want to have that curb appeal at our homes. It’s one

of the reasons we tore our lawn out last year and spent enough money to choke a horse on rocks, plants and other landscaping necessities to beautify our yard, but when it rains, is it really necessary to water those brown lawns or any lawn for that matter?

I know that the water districts have placed restrictions in place asking for as much as 50 percent reduction in outdoor water usage, so why not be smart about it and turn those sprinklers off when it rains? You could water another day instead and help prolong the life of

your lawn. Had those homeowners I saw today taken the time to shut their sprinklers off and watered a different day instead, that would have given their lawns extra water which may have been enough to keep that grass green for just a little bit longer.

We all need to be smart with our water usage as the drought drags on and do our part. So next time it rains, make sure you head out to your garage and flip that sprinkler switch to the off position. Water another day and your yard will surely thank you for it.

The Case for Carson Jane Chastain Columnist From the very beginning, Ben Carson has been discounted by the political pundits. As others in this crowded GOP field went up and down in the early polls, they watched in disbelief at how the support of a mild-mannered doctor who had never held political office, remained steady and began to climb. After a so-so, if not poor performance in last debate, the chattering class wrote him off, but his polling numbers continued to climb.

When, Dr. Carson pulled even with Donald Trump in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, the story is not Carson’s rise but Trump’s fall. If Carson is mentioned at all by these know-it-alls, they just roll their eyes.

What some do not realize, and many are just discovering, is that Dr. Ben Carson is no stranger to politics. He has been discussing the problems of this country and reminding us of what made America great for years. More importantly, he has a good grasp on what it will take to reestablish that greatness.

“America the Beautiful,” “One Vote,” “One Nation” (which came out at the same time and outsold Hillary Clinton’s “Hard Choices”) and “A More Perfect Union” gives us insight into his political philosophy as well as his prescriptions for the country. “Gifted Hands” (his autography that was made into a movie), “Think Big,” “Take the Risk,” and “The Big Picture” will give you insights into his life and his faith.

Ben Carson was not an “okay doctor,” who hired a “couple of nurses.” He was the most celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon in the world. At 33, he became the youngest major division director in history at the prestigious Johns

Hopkins Medical Center where he often directed several medical teams from different specialties in order to perform his groundbreaking surgeries.

If you think dealing with the egos on Capitol Hill will be a problem, consider the egos of the doctors at the top of their game in heart and brain surgery that he dealt with in the course of his work. Solving complex problems on life and death issues involved teamwork.

It also involved selecting the best of the best, sifting through tons of information and making the “right” decisions.

These are the very same qualifications that are required by the nation’s chief executive. Unfortunately, the current occupant of the White House has none of them. It also involves courage.

Some are surprised that Dr. Carson has doubled down on his assessment of Muslims and Sharia law. Don’t be. Sunday, on ABC’s “This Week,” he took Martha Raddatz to school and, yes, left her speechless. After that performance, one can assume Dr. Carson, who is a quick study, has been learning how to cram a lot of facts into a 30-second sound bite and will be ready to strut his stuff in the next GOP debate.

While ignored as a serious contender by the pundits, he is not ignored by the GOP base. What is disappointing to me is that some of his harshest critics have come from the right. He was invited to speak to a Southern Baptist pastors’ conference and then disinvited when it was discovered he is, horrors, a Seven Day Adventist.

He has been roundly criticized by some of my colleagues for his conciliatory comments toward civil rights activists and members of other religions. As a leader, Dr. Carson is skilled at bringing people together and getting people to listen

to him, not by finding fault, but by trying to establish common ground.

He was also criticized for this Easter post on Facebook: “Let us remember that Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in God, and while there are ideological differences in who Jesus was, we should find peace in the fact that we are all God’s children.”

That was not a theological statement.

Face it. There are only two value systems at work in the world today: That of those who believe in a Creator God where there are moral absolutes and that of secular humanism — those who believe we are the product of matter, energy and chance where they are free to make up the rules as they go along.

There are extremists in every religion and Islam has more than its share. Dr. Carson is not shy about calling out these Muslims and those who adhere to Sharia law.

However, to quote Jewish scholar, Dennis Prager, “The problems in this country are not between people of different faiths, but between people of faith and a growing secularism that threatens to take over religion itself. ” God bless Dr. Carson. If he is the GOP nominee, I will proudly cast my vote for him.

Jane Chastain is a Southern California-based broadcaster, author and political commentator. Despite her present emphasis on politics, Jane always will be remembered as the nation’s first female TV sportscaster, spending 17 years on the sports beat. Jane blogs at JaneChastain.com. She is a pilot who lives on a private runway.

Faith

What’s in your blood?

Zachary Elliot Faith Columnist We inherit most of our character traits from our family. Everything from the way we treat people, to the way we talk about ourselves and even the way we save money can all be things we learn from our families, our bloodline.

What is it you’ve learned from

your family over the years? Chances are you probably have the good, the bad and the ugly.

One of the ugliest things that can be in the bloodline of our families is pride. The problem comes in when we think we are better than everyone else. Pride is so dangerous the Bible tells us that it’s the first step to collapse. It says, “Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) If pride is in our blood our families are in real trouble.

One of the greatest ways to get pride out of our lives, out of our families and out of our blood is to lift others up. The Bible says, “don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”

(Philippians 2:3) Making it a priority to lift up others around you, especially your families, is a great way to shift the focus off of us and onto others. This

has to be a deliberate action on our part. We must be intentional about lifting others up and thinking about others more than we do ourselves.

Try it for a week. Wake up every morning for the next seven days and intentionally say something positive, encouraging and uplifting to each member of your family.

When we start putting the welfare and the needs of others first that’s when we are most like Jesus.

He “took the humble position of a servant.” (Philippians 2:8) If we want pride to stop wreaking havoc in our families we need to start acting more like Jesus. Our bloodline needs to come from him.

Menifee church begins a grief group

Menifee church to bless the animals

Menifee United Church of Christ is starting a grief group. The group will gather to express their feelings over the loss of a loved one, a job, an aspect of their health, etc., and to empathize with one another over the losses suffered by members of the group.

“Losing a loved one or a job can be traumatic,” said Senior Minister Bill Freeman. “One purpose of a church is to help people through their losses.”

The grief group will meet at the church the fourth Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. The public is invited. Menifee UCC is located at 26701 McCall Blvd. in Menifee.

Menifee United Church of Christ will conduct a blessing of the animals at its 10 a.m. Sunday Worship Service on Sunday, Oct. 11.

“We do this in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, known as the patron saint of animals, whose Feast Day is in October,” said Senior Minister Bill Freeman. “Plus it’s always fun for the congregation and, hopefully, for the animals.”

If children don’t have a pet, but have stuffed animals, Freeman will bless them as well.

Menifee United Church of Christ is located at 26701 McCall Blvd. All people – and animals – are welcome.
