When 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd attending a country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday night, Oct. 1, lives were changed forever. Fifty-nine people were killed, and 527 others were injured in the worst mass shooting in modern American history. Some lost parents, children and siblings, and others will deal with serious injuries they sustained in the gunfire for the rest of their lives. Among the killed and wounded

were Riverside County residents and employees. Here are some of their stories. Pati Mestas, 67, of Menifee was a country music fan with a warm personality who always seemed to be in a good mood, her family and friends said. Mestas was a mother of three, a grandmother of eight and greatgrandmother of one. She had recently retired from her job as a manager at a deli inside a Shell gas station in Corona, her cousin Tom Smith of San Antonio, Texas, said.

Rock ‘n’ Roll music rang out through the air Saturday, Oct. 7, as visitors to the CrossCreek Golf Club in De Luz got to peruse a car show, gift baskets and food booths. The golf course was where the Cowboys & Cars 4 Kids Benefit, put on by the De Luz Women’s Club, was taking place. The event sought to raise money for Rancho Damacitas, a nonprofit that helps current and former foster youth. Raising funds for Rancho Damacitas Kristi Piatkowski, the director of the development for Rancho Damacitas, said Saturday’s event was specifically raising funds for Rancho Damacitas’ Project Independence, which is geared toward

helping former foster children who are now adults. “Specifically, that helps with transition,” Piatkowski said. “So, it provides secure housing, coaching, mentoring and financial coaching so they understand how to manage their money.” Rancho Damacitas is currently in the process of building a home in Murrieta for young adults who are part of Project Independence. The Lennar home will have a grandfather suite and five bedrooms so five youth will be able to live there once it’s constructed. Money raised during the benefit went toward the completion of the home, Piatkowski said. She said the home will be the “honor home” for those participants who have completed major milestones including maintaining

Wildomar takes the beginning steps of deferring fees for some development projects Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Members of the Wildomar City Council approved a change to a city ordinance, Oct. 3, which will allow some developers to delay payment of developer impact fees until later. Councilmember Marsha Swanson, Councilmember Dustin Nigg and Mayor Tim Walker were

present during a special meeting Tuesday morning, and they unanimously approved the change to an ordinance dealing with the fees. Cities can legally charge developers fees to offset or reduce the impact they have on public facilities or infrastructure, but the fees can be high and can deter builders from starting projects. Swanson said in a telephone interview that the city is hoping

to make it easier for some smaller developers to get their projects done by putting those fees off. Developers would pay the fees in payments at 2 percent interest, and the money would go into a fund for a community center the city is hoping to build in the future, she said. Swanson said the deferment wouldn’t apply to all developers. It would only apply to those develop-

ers who must go through the city for their projects. Those developers would probably be on the smaller side too. “We’re thinking, and it’s not written yet, maybe an under 50,000-square-foot commercial project and somebody building maybe up to 10 homes at a time,” Swanson said. “It’s not meant for the big builders; it’s meant to help the smaller guy who just can’t

come up with the cash all at once.” Swanson said that the city is still in the early stages of making deferment a possibility for some developers. She said council will be looking at a specific ordinance in January that will detail exactly who would be eligible and what they would need to qualify to have their fees deferred.

It may be painful to think about your funeral, but it doesn’t have to be painful to pay for it. Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown swears in the city’s two newest police officers, Officer Geraldo Ortiz, left, formerly of the San Diego Police Department and Officer Juan Sanchez who is a retired Los Angeles Police Department sergeant, as their families observe at the pinning ceremony at the Hemet City Council chambers, Oct. 5.

COLEMAN from page A-1 this is the city I love the most,” Coleman said. “This is just a really exciting place. Murrieta has a great future.” Coleman said he was honored to have served Murrieta, and local leaders have high praise for Coleman. “There’s no one in the state that gets economic development quite like Bruce does,” Patrick Ellis, CEO of the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, said. Councilmembers at the meeting described many challenging tasks that would have exhausted any other person, but Coleman accomplished them with enthusiasm. “The commitment that you have shown to this city has been, to me, mind-boggling,” councilman Randon Lane said. Lane said at one International Council of Shopping Centers convention, Coleman attended dozens of meetings tirelessly.

“A couple years later, we brought it back, and we actually had a mandate – ‘Bruce, you have to give us at least 30 minutes for lunch,’” Lane said. “But that is to Bruce’s testament of his commitment to bringing development and bringing more businesses to this city.” Mayor Rick Gibbs said it will be difficult for the city to find a replacement as capable as Coleman. “Councilmembers, the mayor, city manager – all of us can be replaced,” Gibbs said. “Replacing the institutional knowledge and experience that (Coleman has) – no, you can’t be replaced.” Councilman Alan Long said when he was running for office, everyone seemed to know Coleman. “His name was on everyone’s tongue,” Long said. “I didn’t really know what that meant until I had the opportunity to watch him work, and he is truly 100 miles per hour.” Long said Coleman kept an intense work schedule. “I had a meeting set up with

Bruce, and I looked at his schedule, and he was supposed to be in Orange County, then down in San Diego, then back to Riverside and then he was going to be here,” Long said. “I said, well, Bruce can’t meet with me that day, how is he going to be in all of these places at once? Somehow he did that. And that was a typical day for Bruce. That’s just how fast he moves and how passionate he works for the city.” City Manager Kim Summers said Coleman has a real vision for what Murrieta can be. “And there’s been so many times that people say to him, ‘you can’t do that,’” Summers said. “And Bruce always says, ‘No it’s not, we can get there.” Coleman will be missed by city workers, Summers said. “Bruce, it’s been great working with you. Staff will miss the jokes in our meetings,” she said. “But mostly, we’re going to be resting because trying to keep up with Bruce has been exhausting.”

The Hemet City Council received a glimpse of the Riverside Transit Authority’s latest plans to create a Mobility Hub Site in the downtown area in the future at its Sept. 26 workshop and study session in the city chambers. The RTA Mobility Hub in Hemet has been in the planning stages since 2012 with a $5 million grant used to procure property in the downtown area and planning for the transportation hub. The mobility hub according to RTA planners will provide residents with multiple ways to reach their travel destinations whether local, regional or state. It is a place where all modes of transportation, technology and transit supportive land uses come together to meet community transportation needs, as lead consultant Agustin E. Chang, vice president of Psomas, and Larry Rubio, CEO of RTA, explained to the council. Much of the land needed to establish a series of kiosks, shelters and pickup points for the proposed transportation hub along RTA’s purchased railroad tracks between north and south State Street and Buena Vista Street and the east and west Oakland and Devonshire avenues have been procured, the consultants said. The proposed hub would provide pickup points for ridesharing, ridehailing, Transportation Network Companies and car-share services to residents. Rubio said that the hub zone would provide Wi-Fi services and charging stations and accommodate current modes of transportation such as buses, cars, vans and bicycles and new and emerging transit vehicles. He said the future means of transportation may include more bicycles, electric bicycles, more electric cars or driverless buses all equipped with the latest technology. The railroad tracks could reopen

with modern street cars and trams that could take riders to major transportation destinations like airports and Amtrak stations. He said there could be driverless cars and buses that would pick up passengers at their homes and take them to the hub. In a video presentation, the consultants showed how the use of public transportation in the RTA area has increased from 7,934,079 riders in 2010 to 9,651,763 in 2015 and is still rising. The Hemet Transportation Hub was conceived 2012 and has seen the greatest increase in riders from area colleges and universities. Since 2012, the RTA has held public meetings and hearings with Hemet city officials and residents, and with the information provided in those meeting, they have wanted the proposed Hemet Mobility Hub to bring more opportunities and entrepreneurs to the community, to preserve the heritage of the HemetSan Jacinto Valley, to bring more mom and pop stores and other

Since it was completed, it has brought about a complete downtown facade renovation and has allowed families to once again play and enjoy the downtown area safely. Several of the Hemet councilmembers who visited the Perris Mobility Hub praised the result of the RTA plan and the modern hotels and senior living centers it has brought to the city. The cities of Yucaipa, San Bernardino and Chino with their mobility hubs have benefited as well, the consultants said. There were four options for the mobility hub location initially.

Menifee City Council ponders police protection issues Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Menifee City Council heard the benefits of creating its own police department for the city during its Oct. 4 meeting. The law firm of Hicks, Maineri and Williams completed the study, at no cost to the city, according to City Manager Ron Bradley. Tom Hicks, who served as the chief of police for the City of San Jacinto before the department was disbanded, and who now works with Hicks, Maineri and Williams, gave council a presentation covering everything from the cost to the city for establishing its own department to the effects it would have on staffing and the city’s budget. The firm looked at two different areas while researching the issue: could the city establish a police department that would save the city money over its current arrangement with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and would that department increase police services to the city and its residents. Hicks said the firm spent about seven months researching the issue and provide council with preliminary figures and other items for comparison to decide how to proceed. According to Hicks, the current level of staffing from the sheriff’s department, includes 87 personnel who are assigned either full time or part time to the city. Of those 87 personnel, approximately 58 are sworn officers. Current cost to the city for the contract with the Riverside County Sheriff’s department for services is $17,254,000. A proposal by Riverside County Sheriff Stan Smith has the cost for services increasing to $21.1 million in fiscal year 2018/ 2019 and to $25.1 million in fiscal year 2019/2020, Hicks said. “We took a look at their costs over the last 11 years and we projected for 2020/2021 with just a simple 5 percent increase and you would be at $26.3 million and then for 2021/22 you would be at $27.7 million and for 2022/23 you would be at about $29 million,” he said.

If the city were to start its own police department with 74 sworn personnel working full time at 40 hours a week and 32 civilians for 106 total personnel, the cost to the city would be $13,821,103 in fiscal year 2018/2019, $15,211,422 in fiscal year 2019/2020. Personnel would include a fulltime chief of police, a full-time captain and two main divisions, administration and a uniform patrol division, with approximately 12 cars on duty at all times. There would also be a watch commander and a lieutenant who for each shift (2 day shifts and 2 night shifts) of the uniform patrol division. Hicks also suggested a support division supporting patrol, there would be a traffic division with a sergeant, a corporal and an officer as a team, another corporal and an officer as a team. Hicks said there would be separate officer assigned to quail valley, a school resource officer and a crime prevention officer. He said there would be a detective bureau, led by a lieutenant with nine officers and the ability to send officers to regional task forces as needed. A civilian support division and K-9 officers 24 hours a day would also be in place under the proposed plan. Hicks said startup cost to the city would be $5,140,304 and includes the cost of vehicles, equipment and all capital outlay items necessary to fully outfit the department. A side by side, five-year comparison shows the city would save just over $44.7 million in fees over the current contract with the Sheriff’s Department, Hicks said. Other items built into the cost such as retirement funds for the officers, liability insurances, mutual aid between cities and using Sheriff Department services like swat team and helicopters were also discussed. Mayor Pro Tem Matt Liesemeyer thanked Bradley for bringing in HMW and said that issue of creating a police department for the city is one that is nearest and dearest to him. He asked about additional hidden costs such as HR costs and

financing staff. “There is no question that there would be additional support staff costs, both in personnel and payroll,” Bradley said. “We add this many employees and that is twice as many as we have now.” According to Bradley, the city “struggles” to take care of the current employees and new employees would need to be hired to bridge the gaps, but those costs would come out of the general fund budget. Hicks told council that other costs they would want to look at would include the monthly bill from the county for services primarily included personnel and mileage for the vehicles. “For example, I think you are paying 94 or 98 cents for every

mile that is driven in your city to the county,” he said. “There are some other items in there that would not be on that monthly invoice.” Hicks said that the city currently pays “over $400,000 a year to support the building in Perris,” where the city’s police department is currently located. “Those are the kinds of things that you need to take a look at when you decide you want local control, when this body makes a final decision on the staffing levels for your city and what you want to provide your people without it being dictated to you from the county,” he said, adding that the city doesn’t have the option of going to the county board of supervisors and renegotiating the charges.

“They decide for you, they are the master,” he said. “That’s where you have to come back and make your decision, do you want local control, whatever that control may be, but your control.” Councilman John Denver asked how it could be cheaper for the city to start its own police department rather than continuing to contract with the Riverside Sheriff. “You get a cost of all the people for about $58 an hour,” Hicks said. “Right now, you are paying $181 an hour and some change for a deputy, plus some other costs. So, there is your answer, it has nothing to do with the quality of the personnel, it’s the cost.” For more on this story, visit www. myvalleynews.com.

spokesperson said the RTA would work closely with the city in regard to safety concerns, security cameras and private security measures. The council gave the RTA approval to take the next step in establishing the hub. The next steps in the process, according to the RTA consultants, will be to bring the latest project briefing to the RTA board, to project delivery strategy, final concept plan

and agreement between the city and RTA, to present the final concept plan to the Hemet City Council and to provide the final conceptual plan to the RTA board. Next, Phase 2 will begin, including architectural and engineering, environmental clearance and final design and construction procurement, followed by construction proceedings.

San Jacinto Council declares Mental Health Awareness Week Tony Ault TAULTREEDERMEDIA.COM

With two councilmembers absent, the San Jacinto City Council, following a presentation by a representative from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, wrapped up the short 30-minute meeting Tuesday, Oct. 3, by extending time for several developers to submit their tract maps and declaring Mental Health Awareness Week in the city. Brenda Scott, executive director of NAMI San Jacinto and the NAMI Walk manager of the Inland Empire, appeared before the council to present the need for better mental health opportunities for needy residents in the Valley. Council members Mayor Scott Miller, Mayor Pro Tem Alonso Ledezma and Russ Utz listened to Scott explain how mental illness af-

LAS VEGAS from page A-1 Mestas was struck down by gunfire and killed as she moved to be closer to the stage during the concert. Smith said she was known for her infectious laughter and seemingly always had a wide, good-humored smile spread across her face. “She was always just bubbling with life and with excitement,” he said. “She was the perfect picture of a friend you would want.”

fects many people in the Valley and how the local organization is helping to change perceptions about mental illness. She said out that one in five adults experience a mental health condition every year. One in 17 lives with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. In addition to people who directly experience a mental illness, their family, friends and communities are also affected. Half of the mental health conditions people face begin by age 14, and 75 percent of those conditions develop by age 24. The normal personality and behavior changes of adolescence may mimic or mask symptoms of a mental health condition. Early engagement and support are crucial to improving outcomes and increasing the promise of recovery.

Scott urged members of the council and community members to take part in the upcoming NAMI Walk Saturday, Oct. 28, at Diamond Valley Lake Marina, 2615 Angler Avenue, in Hemet. The pre-walk program begins 10 a.m., and the walk begins 10:30 a.m. To register and donate, call (951) 765-1850, visit www.namiwalks.org/ inlandempire or email namiwalksinlandempire@gmail.com. Scott said mental illness that one family member suffers affects the entire family, and they often need help understanding the illness. NAMI Mt. San Jacinto offers family support groups 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. every second Thursday at Anka Behavioral Health at 102 S. Main St. in San Jacinto. The NAMI helpline is (800) 273-8255. Councilmembers Andrew Kotyuk and Crystal Ruiz were out of town on city business.

Family friend Alexis Magana, 35, of Riverside said she first met Mestas when she went to hang out with Mestas’ son Brandon as a teenager. Magana said that when Mestas welcomed her into her home, it may have been the first time, but it felt like the 500th time. Chelsea Romo, 28, a mother of two young children is from Wildomar. Romo lost her left eye in the shooting and her right eye was severely damaged as well.

Despite being struck by a bullet, Romo suffered “no neurological damage, which is a huge blessing,” her cousin Matt Schneider of Rancho Santa Margarita said. Still, Schneider said his cousin will have a long way to go toward recovery and will likely have limited vision for the rest of her life. A GoFundMe campaign started by Schneider for Romo had amassed more than $96,000 as of Monday, Oct. 9. “I was completely amazed by how much support and outreach that everyone has given,” Schneider said. “It’s just unbelievable.” Romo flew home to California Saturday to be with her two children, her cousin wrote in an email to the Valley News. Deputy Jason McMillan, a patrol deputy for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, was one of two Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputies injured at the country music concert. McMillan suffered a severe gunshot wound during the incident and is recovering in a Las Vegas area hospital, according to sheriff’s officials. “The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department continues to support Deputy McMillan and his immediate family in Las Vegas as they fight the long road toward recovery,” part of a statement on the sheriff’s department Facebook page said. “The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department continues to send our thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by this tragedy.” Many others from Riverside County were killed in the incident. Hannah Ahlers, 35, was a married mother of three, who lived in Beaumont, according to the

Support our Troops finds new home, announces sponsorship details Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Every year in December, Judy Harter and her crew of jolly elves come together in a show of support for military families through Temecula and the surrounding communities. This year’s Support Our Troops event, scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. promises to be bigger and better than ever, according to Harter. “This year we will be in a hangar at Camp Pendleton,” she explained. “I’m really excited about being on Camp Pendleton, it feels like coming home. It’s just great that they don’t have to come up to us, we get to go to them.” This year, All From The Heart will celebrate its 14th annual Support Our Troops event, bringing together active-duty military families, disabled veterans, community organizers, local businesses and volunteers in a celebration of the Christmas holidays. Each year a group of military families, 30 to be exact, are selected by Family Readiness Officers to receive

Christmas gifts, based off a wish list each family member submits, and a free holiday dinner. Each family has a special circumstance such as combat injuries, medical issues or special needs children, just to name a few. For many of the families, this could be their only opportunity to receive Christmas gifts. So, what does it take to make it all happen? Lots and lots of volunteers, and lots and lots of sponsors, said Harter, who is also the founder and president of All From The Heart. Sponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels, from sponsoring a family’s Christmas wish list, to shoppers and wrappers and even “hosts” who dedicated their day to spending time with their “family” the day of the event. “We spend $100 on each family member and are honoring 30 active military families this year,” Harter said. “Sponsors can choose the size of the family they wish to honor anywhere from two to eight people.” Harter said it is a privilege to sponsor a family’s holiday shopping list. “It gives you the opportunity

to shop for members of an active military family with a special circumstance,” she said. “They have big stuff going on in their lives and sponsors have the opportunity to make their holidays a little bit brighter.” Sponsors are invited to attend the event and meet the family they sponsor, spending time with each family member, making sure all the family’s needs are met. For those who are looking to be a part of the event, but who may not have the time to spend at Camp Pendleton Dec. 3, they can be part of what Harter calls, “the big surprise.” “It’s something that happens at the end of the event after all the families have opened their gifts,” she explained. “A simple donation of $150 ensures that every child receives a special gift. I can’t tell you what it is, because I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but it is age appropriate and includes the child’s favorite colors or fictional character. We take the time to choose something that they are going to absolutely love.” Harter said there is no limit on the number of “Big Surprises” sponsors

can donate for. Other needs include monetary donations, or donations of services such as face painters, jolly jump and kid’s corner attendants and virtually anything else that can make the party fun for children. “There is no number too small,” Harter said. “We would love you have you attend and participate at any level; Sponsor, shopper and/or

hosting a family for the day. These are our heroes and we can never do enough to repay them for the gift of our freedoms.” To donate to the event, send a check or money order to All From The Heart, 31805 Temecula Parkway, #121, Temecula, CA, 92592.

Piatkowski, the Rancho Damacitas director, praised the work of Close and others saying the event was largely driven by the work of the club’s volunteers. “The women have done everything,” she said. “They got the sponsorships, they got all of the amazing silent auction (items), the casino, and they made it a lot of fun.”

HS Football: League games get underway with Week Six action

It’s here. They finally made it. The start of league games has arrived for our local high school football teams and now the playoff hunt ensues. The pendulum has shifted in a number of local leagues and now it’s a fight to the finish to win that coveted league title and become the last team standing in December. Murrieta Mesa (Southwestern League) is the only 11-man team locally that has still not lost a game and to some it seems like a shock, but not for the players, coaches and staff at the school that’s for sure. Though they will surely be tested in the weeks to come, Head Coach Darrel Turner is known to have some tricks up his sleeve and intends to use them when it comes to the local powerhouses. In the Sunbelt League Heritage did not let the undefeated record that Lakeside garnished fool them last week as the Patriots handled the Lancers with ease. The defending Sunbelt Champs intend to continue to use their preseason battles as a testament to their cause, especially being the only team to go up against perennial powerhouse Orange Lutheran, where they held OLu to the least amount of points and rushing yards they put up all year (34 points, 116 rushing yards). Elsinore is not going to go away quietly and neither will Paloma Valley as they both also hold the same record as the Patriots at 5-1 overall and 1-0 in league. This week the game to be at will be at the home of the Tigers as they take on Heritage. The South Valley league title seems to be up for grabs this year with Rancho Christian and Calvary Murrieta being the clear front runners again, but the two will not face each other till next week and in the Mountain Pass League it looks like it will be a dogfight with Citrus Hill, San Jacinto and Beaumont all nipping at each other’s heals, waiting for the other to fall. None of the top teams from the MPL play each other week so the game to watch could be better left to a coin flip. The breakdown of the Southwestern League games from Week Three, plus South Valley and Sunbelt League scores and stats are as follows:

TVHS: Def – J. Jacobsen - 4 tackles 3 QB sacks; A. Pulsipher 5 tackles, QB sack; B. Hughes - 7 tackles. MMHS: J. Miller - 19 for 26, 309 yds, 4 TDs; K. Thompson - 14 carries, 105 yds, 2 TDs; C. Shakir-Ricks - 5 carries, 88 yds, TD; C. Layton - 1 carry, 1 yd, TD; G. Sanders - 7 catches, 161 yds, 4 TDs; Def – J. Atkinson - 7 tackles, QB sack; C. Layton - 6 tackles, QB sack.

This week should be a tell tale week in the Southwestern League as the undefeated Murrieta Mesa Rams go up against Vista Murrieta. Darrel Turner and David Olsen, who at one time were both part of the Coley Candaele Bronco coaching era, figure to know each other’s playbooks all too well and this could be the game to watch. The Pumas of Chaparral are hoping to bounce back from last week’s loss to Great Oak, but they head to Murrieta Valley and things could get messy with Bachmeier and Spiker running the show. Finally Great Oak will welcome the winless Golden Bears to their house as Temecula Valley hopes to rain on the ‘Red Wave’ parade. All games are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. Sunbelt League Nighthawk QB Hank Bachmeier (18) eyes his favorite target, Marquis Spiker (9), as Murrieta Valley defeats Vista Murrieta 38-17 to open up league play.

HS Football: Patriots hand Lancers first loss in Sunbelt League opener, 60-7 Paul Bandong SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

ROMOLAND – It was a great match-up on paper. Lakeside running back Adrian Burt had rushed for 792 yards and thirteen touchdowns during the pre-season last year, the area’s stat leader in both categories before an injury in the Sunbelt league opener ended his season. This pre-season he rushed for 1058 yards and 17 touchdowns, making him the second-leading scorer in the entire CIF Southern Section. “Their running back is legit,” said Heritage Coach Kraig Broach, “He can play in any league.” The Heritage defense held its five preseason opponents to 268 rushing yards, 116 in its only loss to Orange Lutheran. That’s an impressive average of only 53.6 yards per game. The match-up didn’t happen. Burt had injured his hamstring in the Vista del Lago game in which he rushed for 164 yards and scored four touchdowns. “He’s a very good teammate, he runs extremely hard, but he’s not playing in this game. We don’t want him to miss this season,” said Lakeside Coach Mark Chandler, “We hope he can make it back in the next game or two. Our goal is to win two or three league games and get a shot at the playoffs this year.” There are 37 teams in Division 11 that Lakeside has to compete with for a playoff spot. Heritage got the ball first and made three consecutive first downs

HS Volleyball: Annual Pink Out games hit the 10 year mark JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Volleyball in the valley is once again at its fiercest when it comes to the competition locally, but as the fight for the top heats up, one outstanding event that brings the girls together on an even playing court has resurfaced for the 10th straight year. On Monday, Oct. 2, teams from 9 participating high schools all participated in the annual ‘Play for the Cure’ event, which raises money for the Kim Horton Foundation as well as Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center. Games throughout the valley will ensue in the following weeks leading up to the playoffs and the participating schools this year include Chaparral, Murrieta Mesa, Murrieta Valley, Great Oak, Temecula Valley, Temecula Prep, Vista Murrieta, Elsinore and Temescal Canyon. Lake Elsinore Head Coach, Renee Horton, helped kick off the

evening at Temecula Valley High School as she helped guide the girls through the infamous Pink Glove dance and also spoke on behalf of the Kim Horton foundation, which honors her late mom. Kim Horton coached Elsinore to nine league titles and one CIF-Southern Section title and took each of her 10 teams to the playoffs. She died in 2013 after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. As the night continued, Kim Gerrish, Director of Michelle’s Place, also spoke to the packed gymnasium full of local volleyball girls and their families about breast cancer awareness. Afterward, seniors from the participating schools gathered in front of those in attendance and shared their stories about some of the challenges in their lives or their family’s lives from the disease. “It is such an honor to be here year after year with so many girls and athletes that all come together for the cause,” exclaimed Gerrish.

“When we started doing this we only dreamed it would be this big and years later it is an event that everyone talks about before the season even begins, it’s awesome.” T-shirts with the ‘Believe’ motto on them, including each school, will be available for purchase at home games across the valley and each school will sign the ‘Believe’ posters that hang at the home gyms during their ‘Play for the Cure’ matches. All shirt sale proceeds will go to the Kim Horton foundation and funds through ‘Go Pink’ ribbon sales will be donated to Michelle’s Place. Take some time this October to get out and support the local High School Volleyball teams as they ask for everyone to do their part in helping to find a cure. For more information on the Kim Horton Foundation visit www.kimhortonbelieve.com and for more information on Michelle’s Place visit www. michellesplace.org.

The Vista Murrieta girls’ volleyball team took down the nationally ranked Temecula Valley Lady Golden Bears (19-2, 4-1) Tuesday, Oct. 3, in four sets, despite being down one of their leading setters. Marlee Nunley was not available because of a concussion suffered at practice earlier in the week, but the Lady Broncos adjusted well taking down mighty Temecula Valley 2927, 25-23, 22-25, 25-20. For now Vista Murrieta (11-4, 4-1) has gained the advantage in the Southwestern League title chase. The Lady Broncos went with a one-setter system for most of the match which saw the first three sets garnish 36 ties and 14 lead changes

as the first two set victories went the way of Vista Murrieta. Temecula Valley won the third set behind the play of setter Jordyn Amoy, who provided three kills in a 4-1 run for the Lady Golden Bears, but the fourth and final set of the night went the way of the home team. Vista Murrieta claimed victory behind the kills of Lexi Hadrych (20 overall) and Tiffany Pedersen-Henry (21 overall). “This was a tough one against a really strong and motivated Vista Murrieta team. We did not play our best volleyball, it’s hard to win volleyball matches with 42 errors and we still had a chance to win it. It’s a great opportunity to keep learning and to prepare for the future,” Golden Bears coach Rafu Rodriguez said. “We have got to shake it off and get ready for the remainder of league. Temecula Valley’s Madison Endlsey led all players with 22 kills and12 digs while teammate Jordan Amoy had 17 digs and 49 assists. Outside of kill leaders Hadrych and Pedersen-Henry, Paige Johnstone led defensively with 23 digs for Vista Murrieta as freshman Molly Wilson had 38 assists on the offensive front. The two teams will play each other again Thursday, Oct. 19, this time at Temecula Valley High School. Game time is set for 4:45 p.m. Article contributions made by Greg Shreenan.

Loma Linda University unveils new bachelor’s degree in radiation therapy LOMA LINDA – Loma Linda University’s School of Allied Health Professions has established a bachelor’s degree in radiation therapy with hands-on instruction, progressive technology and the ability to practice proton therapy. Radiation therapy employs ionizing radiation to treat cancer and control malignant cell growth. It’s often combined with other forms of treatment for cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Radiation therapists serve as highly skilled professionals, certified at national and state levels. They are required to apply critical thinking, judgement and the ability to work efficiently in various environments, while providing care and support to patients. “Students are able to rotate through excellent clinical sites and observe the variety of ways that ionizing radiation is applied in the treatment of malignant disease, using

advanced technology, such as a proton accelerator,” Program Director Dr. Carol A. L. Davis said. Students in the new bachelor’s degree program learn firsthand proton particle therapy, as well as conventional therapy using linear accelerators at Loma Linda University’s James M. Slater, MD Proton Treatment & Research Center. Proton treatment is an advanced form of radiation beam therapy serving as one of the most precise and non-invasive ways to treat cancer. In 1990, Loma Linda University Medical Center became the world’s first hospital-based dedicated proton center. Loma Linda University’s radiation therapy degree is either a 24-month or 21-month program depending on entrance qualifications and is composed of both classroom and clinical education. Each week, students spend approximately 60 percent of their time with face-to-face course-

work and clinical work and about 40 percent online. The comprehensive program offers students the opportunity to rotate in multiple affiliate hospitals or clinics for additional hands-on training. “Our students get a variety of clinical experience throughout the Inland Empire, with over 1,600 clinical hours to meet board requirements,” Dolly Kisinger, clinical coordinator at Loma Linda University’s School of Allied Health Professions. Applications will be accepted beginning Oct. 1 until April 1, for the full-time program. There are two ways to apply to the program, depending on whether the applicants seek a certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists or not. For a non-ARRT, the program is 24 months long and is open to qualified applicants with at least an associate degree in nursing, other allied health professions or a natural science. For ARRT,

the program is 21 months long for radiographers who seek additional specialization. “It’s important that students are taught to understand not only the intellectual and scientific aspects of radiation therapy, but also the psycho-social challenges that both patients and staff face when involved in the treatment of cancer,” Davis said. In addition, the bachelor’s degree in radiation therapy allows for students to train with expert faculty in a didactic learning environment, gain a larger understanding of whole person care and network with alumni employed in various clinical sites for guidance. “The program at LLU provides a multifaceted approach to ‘making man whole’ while focusing on values such as compassion, integrity and excellence, alongside technological advances of cancer treatment,” Sherita Tate, instructor at Loma

Linda University’s School of Allied Health Professions. Starting annual salaries range from $85,000 to $105,000 for radiation therapists. Loma Linda University also offers a medical dosimetry certificate, applying mathematics, physics and the biological and medical sciences to treat cancer. The program is a full-time 15-month program beginning in autumn. It’s designed to train students in the discipline of dosimetry within a radiation oncology environment and to prepare them for the Certificate in Medical Dosimetry Examination. With a shortage of training programs in the field, the unique program is aimed at increasing the demand of well-trained dosimetrists to meet the needs of radiation oncology facilities in the local area.

Recognizing signs of an abusive relationship The American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

It’s an unfortunate situation, and one that happens all too frequently that people get trapped in an unhealthy and abusive relationship. And while sometimes it is the man who is being abused, in over 90 percent of reported cases it is the woman who is being victimized. Abusive relationships aren’t always about physical abuse. It also includes sexual and emotional

abuse. And while it’s pretty clear that if someone hits, pushes, slaps or shakes the other person that abuse is taking place, abuse in other forms is just as real, often more damaging and actually more frequent than physical abuse. Signs of such abuse include forcing sex when it’s not wanted, name calling and constant put-downs, frequently checking up on what the person is doing, maintaining total control over money, making threats to kill you if you leave, threatening the children, threatening pets and keep-

Community Health Fair coming to Hemet Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Flu shots, five-minute doctor consults, nutritional assessments, free health screenings and other opportunities to improve health will be available Saturday, Oct. 14, during the 2017 Community Health Fair in the parking lot across from the Hemet Valley Medical Center. The Physicians for Healthy Hospitals is sponsoring the free health fair, which will be held 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot at 1117 E. Devonshire Avenue in Hemet. In addition to doctor consults, health screenings and health care resource information, the fair will provide a kid’s zone and community corner with a bounce house, the Western Center Robotics Team demonstration, the Atomic Game Truck, children’s games and popcorn. The health fair, sponsored by Hemet Community Medical Group, Home Instead Senior Care and Inland Empire Home Health, will

What is going to happen to health care now that Senate Republicans have failed to pass their bill, which would have replaced much of the Affordable Care Act? In particular, what’s going to happen to Medicaid, the government’s largest insurance program, which covers 74 million Americans? This moment may be a good time to clarify what was at stake and what may still be up for grabs in the months to come. Despite its importance to so many people, Medicaid has always been the health system’s stepchild. Many doctors and dentists have avoided taking Medicaid patients, saying the program didn’t pay enough. Until recently, editors haven’t been keen to feature stories about Medicaid, believing that their audience was not interested in reading about people most likely to be on the program – the poor, the disabled, children and seniors who needed it to pay for their nursing home care. Suddenly, media stories about cutting Medicaid and the loss of coverage to millions became news. “In the course of the debate, it’s become clear that Medicaid has tremendous public support. There has been much more focus in this debate than I’ve seen in any health policy debate,” Shannon Buckingham said. Buckingham is the vice president for communications at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington D.C. think tank. So what is this program that affects so many and will undoubtedly surface again either later this year or next as a political football? Medicaid was created in 1965 under the Johnson administration at the same time that Medicare was passed. Unlike Medicare, though, which is a social insurance entitlement to which people contribute throughout their working lives, Medicaid is a welfare program. Those applying for coverage must meet strict asset and income tests, which mean they can’t own very much and they can’t earn a lot of money. Everyone who qualifies is guaranteed coverage. The benefit package that all states must offer is generous, covering many services, including nursing home care and transportation to medical appointments. It pays for care given at rural health clinics and federally qualified health clinics. States can provide optional benefits such as prescription drugs, respiratory care, dental services, physical and speech therapy. Many states do. States and the federal government share in the cost, and that’s where the fight in Congress comes in. As medical costs have risen – with few controls on how high they can go – states have found that Medicaid is consuming larger shares of their

lives. Shelters provide temporary housing, meals, clothing and safety. Many shelters also provide medical care, child care, counseling, job training and transitional housing. Fortunately, there is a much wider recognition of the abuse problem. A starting point for many victims of abuse is a phone call to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233. They can offer confidential information, support and resources for victims of abuse. They also offer assistance for someone who recognizes that their behaviors may be harmful to a partner. No one should stay in an abusive

have members of the Hemet police and fire departments and American Medical Response on hand for emergency services and information. The fair will also provide back screenings, balance and gait testing, blood pressure tests, blood sugar testing, carotid artery tests, cholesterol checks, hearing tests and nutritional assessments. Those attending will have an opportunity to sit down with a doctor for a five-minute “Ask the Doctor” session, regarding subjects such as cardiology, chiropractic spinal screening, gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopedic and spine injury, maternal and child health, sleep and pulmonary medicine and women’s health. Representatives from Home Health, Veterans Benefits, in-home care and hospice information will be on hand to answer questions. Riverside County Health Services will be available with heart health and stroke information.

ing you isolated from your family and friends. Experts report that these forms of sexual and emotional abuse are more common than physical abuse and can even be much more damaging as they destroy the victim’s self-esteem. While correcting or leaving such a relationship can be difficult, and even sometimes dangerous, there is help available. Today, battered women’s shelters are available in many communities. Staffed by caring volunteers and professionals, such shelters work hard to help victims find safety and peace in their

annual budgets, often crowding out other needs like fixing roads. The federal government continues to pay more too. One solution for this dilemma is to change the way Medicaid is financed – from a state-federal matching arrangement into what’s called a block grant. Under a block grant, the federal government will give a set amount of money to the states. It’s a way reduce its health care expenditures while shifting more of the burden to the states to cover their residents who depend on Medicaid. Conservatives have argued for years that giving the states a lump sum would mean they could manage their programs as they saw fit. That’s why during debates on Medicaid you hear phrases like “more flexibility” and “greater freedom.” But others argue that flexibility and freedom come at a cost. It could allow states to offer fewer benefits and impose restrictions that would make it harder for people to get care. The Graham-Cassidy bill, which was the Senate’s last attempt at remodeling the Affordable Care Act, called for block grants and eliminated the ACA’s Medicaid expansion program that had provided health care to those with incomes between the poverty level and 138 percent of the poverty level. This year that percentage puts the line at about $16,600 for a single person and about $34,000 for a family of four. The expansion had brought some 12 million people into the program. The Medicaid debate is far from over and is shifting to the states. Several states have applied for waivers from the federal government to allow them more flexibility. For example, a state might ask for permission to enroll Medicaid recipients in private insurance plans as Arkansas has done. While a private market solution might sound good, it could mean that people on Medicaid would have to pay higher deductibles and face other cost sharing measures. Indiana has a waiver that requires recipients to make small monthly payments and maintain a savings account mostly funded by the state to pay for some of their care. People who don’t make their payments may be locked out of coverage for a time. Some states like Arizona and Kentucky are eyeing work requirements. Most Medicaid recipients, however, are already working. These potential changes raise important questions this last debate didn’t answer. Who should get coverage? Should we control rising medical costs by reducing health care for those who can least afford it? Maybe the next debate will give us the answers. How would you answer these questions?

Five speakers address political reality at legislative summit Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Southwest California Legislative Council invited five speakers to their annual summit to discuss “Political Reality 2017-2018.” The event was held at South Coast Winery & Resort Tuesday, Oct. 3, and was attended by hundreds of local business and community leaders.

the severe housing shortage, mental health funding, homelessness, healthcare programs and costs, jails and corrections, funding higher education and cannabis. “We have more and more population, but less money,” Roth said.

The Southwest California Legislative Council presents five speakers, Sen. Richard Roth, Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff, Dr. Martin Gallegos Sr., Jamil Dada and Lou Monville Sr., to local business and community leaders at their “Political Reality 2017-2018” event held Oct. 3 at South Coast Winery and Resort.

State Sen. Richard Roth of the 31st District shares his view of the state budget and recent legislation.

California State Senator Richard Roth of the 31st District Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, shared highlights of the 2017 legislative year, focusing on the budget, which he characterized as “a constant fight: the governor takes it out, we put it back in.” The former U.S. Air Force major general described his role as providing “recognition, respect, resources” relating to policy, awarding money and supporting programs. California’s current budget is $125 billion. Reserves this year are estimated to be $8.4 billion and growing up to $12 billion in 20202021. Health care legislation redirected $546 million for alternative health care services and restored $100 million for medical residencies to attract and keep more doctors. “We are medically underserved,” Roth said. The Legislature restored funding to Work for Warriors, a veterans program with a 70 percent placement rate that has put 5,900 veterans into jobs. They are proposing a $1 billion veterans housing bond for the next ballot. They have approved $10 million to fight the invading citrus disease that was devastating to Florida crops. They are spending $413 million to build a new California Air Resources Board facility at University of California Riverside, which is expected to provide 400-500 jobs and attract business relocation to the area. The Cal Grant program has been revised to address nursing programs and the shortage in that field. “We are vastly underserved.” Roth said. “There is a 270 judge shortage in California and 189 are in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. It was a herculean fight over five years to get four new judgeships for this area.” The Legislature restored funding that had been taken away by the state to four Riverside County cities. “We are the sixth largest economy in the world with 40 million people, and there is not enough money to address all the issues of our stakeholders,” Roth said, mentioning

Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff speaks about the difficulties his department faces with prison and jail overcrowding and being short-staffed.

Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff heads the second largest sheriff’s department in California with 4,600 full-time staff that oversees countywide patrol operations, jail operations, court security, coroner investigations and public administration. “As Riverside County has continued to grow at a rapid pace, the demand for our public services has also grown,” Sniff said. “But budget constraints – $40 million budget cuts – have forced us to downsize. We are down to 3,800 officers in the field and funded; 400 were lost in the last 20 months.” Sniff said that the AB109 has shifted the burden to county jail systems not equipped to handle the needs of long-term populations like mental and physical health care. The measure has resulted in 40,000 premature releases. In response to the racial identity and profiling issue, AB 953 was passed in 2015 and will take effect in January 2018, requiring data collection by officers upon detention or contact. Collection requires 30-40 minutes of work by the contacting officer as well as the work to review the report before submission to the state. Sniff said he feared that the additional requirements will result in “de-policing” like in Chicago. Sniff said Sanctuary State Bill (Senate Bill 54) is “not a big issue for the police department,” since the sheriff’s department doesn’t enforce federal law. “Major tragedies in this country, like 9/11, have shown that sharing of information is critical at the local, state and federal level. It does have a big impact on us at the county jail, however, in working with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The booking system sends digital prints electronically to multiple agencies. Sniff said the redefining of certain felonies to misdemeanors with reduced penalties under Prop 47 is more of a policy issue for his department and he wondered if it was right to put offenders such as “serial thieves, chronic drug abusers and known gang members back into the community.

Dr. Martin Gallegos Sr. discusses the effect of the healthcare crisis on the political landscape.

Dr. Martin Gallegos Sr., vice president of policy development and communications, for the Hospital Association of Southern California “Health care has become political,” Dr. Martin Gallegos of the Hospital Association of Southern California said. “And politics more than policy will impact health care. Politics will also impact the ability to provide services. Now more than ever, it is important to be involved politically.” Decisions made at the federal level will impact the Affordable Care Act, the workforce through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Medi-Cal and Medicare reimbursement, Disproportionate Share Hospital programs, hospital Medi-Cal fee waiver, physician payment through Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, readmission policies and bundled payments. “For example, on Medi-Cal and Medicare reimbursement, employers pay higher premiums because the government underfunds the program,” Gallegos said. “The cost shift was 22 percent under ACA, but under new proposals who knows how much more of the difference employers will have to pick up?” At the state level, the issues are single payer, hospital pricing, notfor-profit Hospital Governance, hospital executive compensation and unfunded mandates and regulations. “A recent poll shows that more and more doctors and administrators – 58 percent -- are moving toward accepting the concept of single payer,” Gallegos said. In the singlepayer system, the government uses taxes to pay healthcare costs for all. Healthcare will be a campaign issue in 2018,” Gallegos said. “There are nine Republican Congressional targets in California. Republicans will be playing defense, solidifying the base and looking to maintain majorities in D.C.” In the upcoming statewide elections, Gallegos outlined a number of issues. There are recall efforts against Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, and Orange County state Sen. Josh Newman, D-Fullerton. He said the Democrat super majorities will be targets and that tax increases shouldn’t hurt Democrats, but is unsure if Republicans will target Republicans for cap-and-trade votes. “It will be a rocky, bumpy and uncertain road through 2017 and 2018 elections with many looking to the big prize, long-term vision to the 2020 presidential elections,” Gallegos said.

Jamil Dada praises resourcefulness of the Air Force for making the most out of March Air Force Reserve Base in these times of budget cutbacks.

Jamil Dada, vice president of investment services, for Provident Bank and the Air Mobility Command Advisory Board “There are 56 bases in the U.S., and 14 are Air Force Reserve bases that cost half the money to operate because of the reservists,” Jamil Dada of the Air Mobility Command Advisory Board said. “March Air Force Reserve Base is one of the largest, with 9,000 airmen and is a joint-use base, serving every branch. This base has more strategic missions than most active bases.” The Air and Marine Operations Center, the only one of its kind, serves multiple missions including law enforcement and disaster recovery. Defense Media Activity provides direct line of communication for news and information to U.S. forces worldwide. The 163rd Air Reconnaissance Wing runs the nation’s only school for remotely piloted aircraft, MQ-1 Predators and MQ-9 Reapers. March Air Force Reserve Base is also one of four intercept bases with four F-16’s on base. They also have C-17 cargo planes and KC-135 refueling tankers. “The military doesn’t shut down missions,” Dada said. “They just move them to areas with lower overhead costs. Most bases are trying to avoid BRAC.” March Air Force Reserve Base just received $11 million in new funding to redo their flight tower and $17 million for a new deployment facility, he said. Forty percent of all troops and personnel sent to Iraq and Afghanistan flew out of March Air Force Reserve Base. AMOC is expanding by 200 workers, Dada said. The Boeing KC-46 Pegasus will be arriving as a replacement for the KC-135s that were first put in service sixty years ago. There are 300 KC-135s still operational in the U.S. Air Force. They have paid for 179 KC-46s with another 179 on order. The new planes feature bulletproof cockpit armor, bulletproof fuel tanks, 1,200 gallon per minute fueling capacity, seating for fifteen, defensive systems, infrared countermeasures, night-vision refueling and missile-deflecting flares instead of heat-seeking missiles. The planes are configurable for different missions, including cargo and medical transport, Dada said. “This would BRAC-proof our base,” Dada said.

Lou Monville Sr., vice president of Raincross Corporate Group Lou Monville Sr. is the immediate past chairman of the board of trustees of the California State University system, the largest university system in the United States with 23 campuses and eight off-campus centers serving over 475,000 students and employing 49,000 faculty and staff. “This area is blessed with two great partners – California State University San Marcos and Mt. San Jacinto College – that help address educational goals of baccalaureate degrees and workforce training and job skill education,” Monville said. “The CSU system has two challenging issues. The first is acute – capacity. We are statutorily obligated to accept students who have a 3.3 GPA in the A through G curriculum and are in the top one-third of their high school class. Last year, 30,000 students met the criteria and were not admitted due to capacity. Students are being left behind. The Inland Empire is the largest metro area with the lowest attendance. “Senators would love to give us more money to educate our kids, but they just don’t have it,” Monville said. “More and more, I hear about the need for tuition increases; dollar-for-dollar a CSU education is still a great value.” The second issue challenging the California State University system is remedial education, and this issue needs clarification, Monville said. “California State University San Marcos is not getting rid of it; they are correcting a long-time wrong,” Monville said. “We are retiring the English Placement Test and the Entry Level Mathematics Test, and reducing noncredit-bearing, prebaccalaureate courses. The simple answer is credit-bearing, course redesign for skills development and efficiency and still maintain time to degree.” According to the Brookings Institution’s Metro Monitor 2017 that tracks economic performance of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas along three dimensions – growth, prosperity and inclusion, the Riverside and San Bernardino metro areas ranks 22, 31 and 68, respectively. Monville said these numbers indicate economic development that encourages long-run growth, average rise in standard of living and a greater need for inclusion of both race and education.

Valley News intern shines the spotlight on importance of media during Tedx Temecula Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Great Oak High School senior and Valley News intern Stephanie Lai took to the stage during Tedx Temecula to discuss “Media on the Brink,” Saturday, Sept. 30, at The Old Town Temecula Community Theater. For Lai the decision to take part in the program which is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation, was not a difficult one. She covered the event last year for Valley News and had some insight into how the event was run, so when the opportunity to speak arose, she decided to take it. “I saw the impact it had on the people that were watching last year and I thought it was just incredible,” she said. “I wanted to have the opportunity to spread my own ideas in that type of environment.” Lai, who has no background in public speaking, said she was nervous before attending the first speaker meeting for the event. She took a copy of her speech and powered through the meeting, walking away with so much more than the chance to talk about something she is passionate about before a sold-

out crowd. “The only thing that I really knew was that I was speaking about something that I am interested in,” she explained. “I had to learn all these new skills and take on new lessons that I never expected to learn out of this whole experience.”

Lai said at times she doubted herself and wondered if they chose the right speaker. “I didn’t really think I was qualified,” she said, adding that it turned into “this beautiful thing,” where the other speakers were willing to do so much to help her to succeed. During her speech, Lai ad-

dressed the importance of credible news sources, reliability and fair and balanced content in articles. “We are surrounded with instantaneous streams of knowledge, and that has redirected readers from large firm papers to Facebook,” Lai, who is also the editor for the Great Oak High School Gazette said. “After years of listening to strings of unfounded information, I realized what my school needed and what the world at large needs is a sustainable field that focuses on reliability and credibility. “This is what I would like to convey to you today, not that we can stop the dramatic shift in journalism, but how we as individuals can combat a reliance on non-credible sources of news. And that comes from understanding credibility. The difference here is that professional journalism is not the clickbait we find online. Professional journalism focuses on fair and balanced content, while sensationalist articles lure you in for a click.” Lai said the answer to the problem is a simple one. “You can’t get your news from 15-year-olds on Twitter. Yes, anyone can point a camera and publish a video, but journalism creates a

filter of truth. Without this, we are all just 15-year-olds sharing on any platform that will listen to us,” she explained. “Point being, we all see something when sharing a story. And that story ends up having millions of faces, but for journalism, there’s only one. It’s giving not the story you want to hear, but the facts you needed to know. All else is an interface of rumors.” Lai said that while it was scary and required a lot of training on her part, working on TEDx was, “totally worth it.” “For myself, the experience was really transformative,” Lai said. “It was more than just going up there and talking about something I was interested in.” She said that it was an amazing feeling afterward as people came up and thanked her for sharing her thoughts on the media and news. “Having those dialogues with the people I was talking to, it was amazing to have people realize that journalism is important.” Other speakers at the event included Temecula Councilman Matt Rahn, Dr. Jerry Hinson, Patrick Murphy, Adam Rideau, Aaron Hardin and Rachel Mason.

Rainbow Municipal Water District approves rate setting services contract Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A new cost of service study for the Rainbow Municipal Water District is being conducted by Raftelis Financial Consultants. The Rainbow board voted 4-0, July 27, with Hayden Hamilton absent, to approve a contract which will pay Raftelis $61,702 for a study on appropriate water rates and other charges and $41,476 for the study on wastewater rates and charges. If water rates are based on the cost of service, a water agency

is exempt from the public vote required for a public agency to raise taxes or fees. A rate setting policy can be in effect for up to five years and must include a rate design and public hearings. Rainbow adopted a five-year plan in 2010, and in 2015, the district contracted with Raftelis to develop a rate structure. The 2015 study, which analyzed the district’s financial needs, customer usage patterns and rate structure equity, utilized an anticipated annual demand of 18,000 acre-feet, but over the past two years, actual demand has

been closer to 16,000 acre-feet. “Our water sales have gone down even further,” Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy said. The decreased sales have created a revenue shortfall for the district, so a study before the 2020 expiration was desired. Raftelis is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, but has offices in Los Angeles and Murrieta. “Raftelis is a recognized leader,” Kennedy said. The 2015 Raftelis work included the development of a

financial plan, the development of rates and a presentation to the Rainbow board. The rate structure acknowledges the difference between residential, commercial and agricultural use and also takes into account Rainbow’s recent and predicted shifts from agricultural to residential service. The process also considers cutbacks related to the drought, including conservation incentives as well as the need to fund the district’s fixed costs if water use declines. Rainbow last increased wastewater rates in 2013, and those new rates became effective Janu-

ary 2014. The wastewater fees are based on the lowest water usage between the months of December and April, and the declining water consumption influences wastewater rates. In the new cost of service study, Raftelis will review other potential methodologies for a wastewater rate structure which include the calculation and documentation of the functionalization, classification and allocation of costs among appropriate customer classes.

New officers installed for the Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley TEMECULA – The Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley held their 39th annual Installation Dinner, Sept. 26, at 8-Bit Brewery in Murrieta for the incoming officers of 2017-2018. Outgoing club president, Gregory Kind, who served two consecutive terms in that post, emceed the event, which was attended by more than 70 members, family and friends, including many who came specifically to honor the club’s incoming president, Tom Teagle. Kind focused most of his remarks on the many programs and community-based organizations the Kiwanis Club supported during his tenure and praised the members for their service to the greater Temecula Valley area. “We have many very dedicated Kiwanis members who devote significant time, effort and energy in support of Michelle’s Place, the Boys and Girls Club, Oak Grove, Rady Children’s Hospital, Cub Scouts, the Salvation Army, the Field of Honor, LifeStream Blood Bank, the city of Temecula and other local charitable organizations,” Kind said. “In addition, we raise significant funds to support 11 high school Key Clubs and provide scholarships to students at each high school.” Lori Butler, the outgoing lieutenant governor for Kiwanis Division 37 to which the Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley belongs, also spoke at the Installation Dinner. Butler was complimentary of

Greg Kind’s service as president, and heaped praise on the entire club for their commitment to the mission and ideals of Kiwanis International. She also dismissed the outgoing officers and directors and installed the incoming officers and board members. Teagle will serve as club president starting Oct. 1.

the town. The annual historic Old Town Murrieta Rod Run opens Friday and Saturday, Oct. 13-14, on Washington Avenue from Kalmia to Ivy streets. The fun begins Friday with the arrival of nearly 400 classic, custom and muscle cars with their open headers and chromed engines roaring and rumbling through the

streets and downtown neighborhoods of Old Town Murrieta. The event often draws approximately 30,000 visitors to the city from around southwest Riverside County each year and is organized by the nationally recognized Drifters Car Club to raise support for the Oak Grove Center, which serves special needs youth and adults with vocational training and academic achievement. Unlike many other rod runs and car shows, the pre-registered vehicle owners will take their spots on a first-come, first-served basis Saturday morning. The Murrieta Police Department said there will be no overnight parking allowed on Washington Avenue Thursday, Oct. 12, through the event Friday and Saturday. After the event, any cars left will be subject to towing. However, regular parking lots in the downtown area will be open for overnight parking. Event organizers have already pre-registered all available spots. Registered vehicle owners can check in with the Oak Grove Center, 24275 Jefferson Avenue, at the

Lemon Street corner. They will be given their registration packet and goodie bag at the time of registration. Registration starts 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, and continues 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, Oct. 13, and 6a.m. to 7: 30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 14. “Every guy and every car has a story. During this great event, the city of Murrieta locks down historic downtown Murrieta, Washington Avenue between Kalmia and Ivy streets. So, come early and stay late and don’t miss the special Diamond Awards Saturday presented to over 50 selected hot rods, customs and classic cars,” according to the event website. “We will have great food, community vendors and much more. Don’t miss the best historic downtown Friday Night Cruise and Rod Run in Southern California. Also Saturday, you can get a close look at the classic vehicles, take a peek under the hoods, talk to the owners and have lots of fun!” The schedule of events begins Friday with vendors setting up along Washington Avenue in the morning. Some adjacent downtown streets will be closed beginning 3 p.m. for the cruise. The streets will reopen after the cruise. The cars will begin arriving 6

a.m. Saturday. After 8 a.m. the streets will be closed until 3:30 p.m. The “Show and Shine” will open 8 a.m. for the whole day, as visitors view cars and talk with owners. The Murrieta Rod Run is free to the public with music, entertainment, food, vendors and rows and rows of classic cars, rods and customs. Restaurants and stores in the downtown area will be open with special buys and items available for Rod Run days. The streets will reopen at 3:30 p.m. Saturday to regular traffic. Oak Grove Center is a nonprofit residential educational and treatment center with multiple campuses for children throughout California with psychological, emotional and behavioral problems and special needs. Its mission is to rebuild the lives of at risk children and their families through education, healing, restoring relationships, building character and instilling hope. Oak Grove is home to 75 children at the Murrieta Campus and up to 100 day students and 50 more students who attend the Perris Campus and Oak Grove at the Ranch.

WARNER SPRINGS – Warner Springs Ranch Resort will be home to “The Gallery at Warner Springs,” which will celebrate its grand opening, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 15, at the property’s Loretta Young House, 31652 State Route 79, in Warner Springs. In addition to food and drinks, the event will feature a raffle and silent auction benefiting the Warner Springs Cultural Association. “The Gallery at Warner Springs” will feature a collection of works created by talented local artists. Visitors, tourists and movie bluffs alike will soon be able to marvel in both the gallery’s artwork and physical location – the former home of the classic Hollywood cinema star Loretta Young. Known as the Loretta Young House, the property was built for the actress while she filmed the movie “Ramona” in Warner Springs in 1936. Artists featured at “The Gallery at Warner Springs” will rotate on a quarterly basis. The first will be award-winning painter Judith Doxey and her depictions of Warner Springs’ landmarks. Doxey will be available during the grand opening celebration to meet and discuss her work with attendees. “The local artwork featured in this gallery will help tell the unique narrative of our community. Each piece will add to the existing heritage of the property, such as the resort’s location steeped in Native American history and abundant flora and fauna,” Warner Springs Ranch Resort President Fred Grand said. “Additionally, given the Loretta Young House’s unique

place in film history, we believe that this space will help introduce fans of old cinema to our beloved resort.” In addition to the art gallery, the Loretta Young House will be home to a visitor center and gift store. The visitor center will provide resort guests and area visitors with information on the area’s many attractions, including horseback riding, hiking trails, sky sailing, wineries and more. It will also feature educational exhibits and artifact displays. The gallery, visitor center and gift store will be owned and operated by Marguerite Apostolas, broker associate with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. Warner Springs Ranch Resort, which was founded as a working ranch in the mid-1800s and opened as a resort in the 1920s, included a 27,000-square-foot main lodge, 250 cottages, a 144-acre golf course and clubhouse, tennis courts, restaurants, a spa, campgrounds, three swimming pools, a private airport and meeting facilities. The resort is being refurbished and reopened in phases. Features currently available for guests to enjoy include 10 renovated historic cottages, a championship golf course, miles of scenic biking and hiking trails, dining at the resort’s Golf Grill and more. Beyond the resort, the property also includes a 240-acre public trust cultural preserve. “The Gallery at Warner Springs” is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday through Sunday.

Temecula Greek Festival returns to Temecula, Oct. 14-15 TEMECULA – The Temecula Greek Festival returns to the Temecula Civic Center, Oct. 14-15, at 41000 Main St. in Temecula. Enjoy a cup of Greek or American coffee in the morning, while snacking on some delicious Greek pastries. Visitors can try the baklava, diples or fried honey rolls, galatoboureko or custard, loukoumades or fritters in honey and cinnamon, melomakarona or spice cookie dipped in honey, kourambiethes, kataifi, ek mek kataifi, karithopita, koulourakia and paxemadia.

The festival invites guests to stroll through outdoor vendor booths, including over two dozen shops offering jewelry, handbags, clothing and more, to take the children and grandchildren to the children’s area for bounce houses, a petting zoo and pony rides or to visit the extreme game trailer and play video games for all ages. When it’s time for lunch, taste authentic Greek foods include gyros, feta fries, lamb chops, chicken and pork souvlaki, spanakopita, tiropita, pastitsio, moussaka, dol-

mathes and salad. Live Greek music and Greek dance groups will perform and offer a dance lesson for the audience to join in celebrating, or perhaps visitors will enjoy a Greek cooking lesson from one of the cooks on-site. Thirsty guests can find something in the tavern – a Greek or an American beer, some Greek wine, a liqueur, ouzo, a soda or bottled water, and after dinner, everyone is invited to dance under the stars while the band plays. LifeStream will be hosting a

mobile blood drive outside the festival on Mercedes Street, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 14. Donors can register online at www. giftoflife.lstream.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/67933. Festival hours are 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, and 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15. Admission is $2, and children under 12 years old are half price. Free admission is offered to members of the U.S. military, firefighters and law enforcement members with proper ID. Free parking is avail-

able in the parking garage at 28690 Mercedes St., in Temecula. The Temecula Greek Festival is sponsored by St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 41132 Guava St., in Murrieta.

Paws4Law Foundation fundraising event to benefit police service dogs MURRIETA – The Paws4Law Foundation will be host the sixth annual fundraising event, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 14, at Town Square Park in Murrieta. A law enforcement K9 demonstration by the Murrieta Police Department K9 Unit will be featured, as well as the opportunity to dunk a favorite police officer in the “Dunk a Cop” tank. There will be food for sale from So Cal Tacos, a kid’s zone with bounce houses from All4Fun Jumpers, music and entertainment by Brannon Entertainment and many local vendors on-site for shopping. With free admission and free parking,

the family friendly event will support local businesses as well as the Murrieta Police Department K9 Unit. The Murrieta Police Department K9 Unit consists of five active K9 teams. Kazan, a German shepherd handled by Cpl. Elliott; Rocky, a Belgian Malinois handled by officer Hollenweger; Buck, a Belgian Malinois handled by officer Harwick; Pak, a Belgian Malinois handled by officer Huss and Ranger, a Bloodhound handled by officer Zeltner. These police service dogs perform many important jobs for the police department including tracking down suspects that have fled the scene of

a crime, squeezing into tight spaces to apprehend perpetrators, locating lost or missing persons and locating illegal narcotics. K9s are an invaluable law enforcement tool that have been proven to save much needed time in emergency situations and have often saved officer’s lives. With their keen sense of hearing and smell as well as their speed and agility, police service dogs are able to locate people or objects, such as evidence, far quicker than officers acting alone. In high-risk situations, K9s are able to approach or subdue individuals without personal injury risk to the officers, who would otherwise have to

handle these situations on their own. City budgets are often allocated in advance, and budgets have been cut statewide in recent years. Hard work from the foundation and volunteers, along with support from the community, allows the Paws4Law Foundation to raise the much needed funds for K9 agility training equipment, safety gear and equipment in addition to that provided by the police department, additional training seminars and K9 trial competitions that the MPD K9 handlers may attend, as well as unexpected veterinary and burial costs for the retired police service dogs that have served the

community. The community is invited to visit with the dogs and their handlers at the fundraising event. For more information, contact the Paws4Law Foundation at paws4law@gmail.com, call (951) 8218775, visit www.paws4law.org or connect on Facebook at www.facebook.com/paws4law. The Paws4Law Foundation is a local nonprofit group dedicated to raising community awareness and support for the Murrieta Police Department K9 Unit. The foundation is completely independent of the Murrieta Police Department and the city of Murrieta.

played by John Edward Clark, and a lovable dog, played by Temecula’s very own theater dog, Fatty, until finally finding her forever home. “Annie” is directed by Ashley Taft, musically directed by Elizabeth Langlois and choreographed by Sean Kiralla.

Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A vibrant orange glow enveloped the sky over Maurice Car’rie Winery on Saturday, Oct. 7, and a slight chill was in the air as hundreds of people either ran or walked through the winery’s vineyard for an event supporting the Temecula Theater Foundation. The Harvest Moon Run took place at the winery about 6 p.m. and gave both running enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs the chance to support the foundation and the three groups that perform as part of it -- the Fine Arts Network, Temecula Valley Players and Southwest Women’s Chorus. Event participants had the choice between a 5K run where wine awaited them at the finish line, or a slightly less strenuous 1K walk with wine tasting throughout the event. Sara Giampiccolo, the events coordinator for the Southwest Women’s Chorus, said the event was designed to help the performance groups with such costs as renting a rehearsal room, renting a theater and paying for a stage crew. The event attracted people like Cindy Blackman of Murrieta and her daughters Makenna and Tatum. “Makenna’s friend is a member of the Temecula Theater and she performs in the plays and we wanted to support them,” Blackman said. “Because if you don’t support them then it can go away, so we decided we were going to get involved.” Amy Ellevold, 34, of San Diego was one of the participants in the 1K walk. She said she was coming up to visit her parents when they told her about it. “They said, ‘oh my gosh, there’s this really fun event going on, we should do it,’” she said. Ellevold said there were lots of things she found appealing about the event. The wine was a selling point, as was the promise of a full harvest moon in the sky, but she also had a personal connection to the event. “I grew up doing theater in Temecula, so supporting the arts is really important to me,” she said. Before the running and walking events commenced, members of the Southwest Women’s Chorus performed a rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Then, about 6 p.m., the runners were off and on their way through a course that wound around the perimeter of Maurice Car’rie’s vineyard before going up and down

People who were looking to take things a little easier participated in a Alex Groves photos 1K walk instead.

through rows of planted grapevines on the inside. There were about four times as many walkers as there were runners. The walkers’ course was much shorter and had them walk up then back down to where they started. Sarah McGaugh, 37, a Temecula Valley High School teacher and assistant cross country coach, was the first person to complete the 5K run in a little over 21 minutes. McGaugh is an avid runner who

participates in races regularly. “I’ve run Run Through the Vineyards before which is a 10K here on the same course, so I thought I had a chance, but you never know who will show up,” she said. “Anyone can show up and do great.” As runners made it through the finish line, they were treated to fresh fruit, bottled water and high fives from their friends. Later on, they could partake in a celebratory glass of wine beneath a moonlit sky.

Dining in the Valley Rosie’s Kitchen has dinner in the presence of

gods or La Singularidad de Cosme

Rosie O’Conner.

Rosie O’Conner SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A year ago, I watched “Chefs Table” on Netflix, featuring Chef Enrique Olivera from Mexico City. In the episode, viewers witness a love affair between Oaxaca and a humbled genius. It was about a chef’s journey in taking the simple, fresh ingredients of Mexico and turning them into an art form, enhancing those flavors through his modernity. You can imagine how happy I was to find out that Olivera and his partner Chef Daniela SotoInnez were hosting a dinner, featuring Cosme with Lomita Estates Winery in Valle de Guadalupe. We were greeted visually with colorful pink paper mache flags and delicious sangria with seasonal fruit. Right away the sweet taste of papaya seduced me into wanting more. We were directed down the path of the vineyard where sounds of Banda played. Banda is a fourpiece band traditionally played when celebrating, and this evening was a true celebration. It was an honor to have Olivera in Baja. The first course was a seafood cocktail served in a small Mason jar filled with fresh octopus, shrimp, shrimp consomme, citrus, cucumber, young Mexican avocado and ketchup. The “Coctelero” vigorously stirred the ketchup, took a taste and then handed it to us complimented with the traditional saltine cracker. A small bowl of fresh tomatillo salsa and a smoky chili de arbol was offered to add additional flavor. The music played loudly, and we danced because we could not help swaying our hips to the music. The colors of the flags, the sweetness of the sangria and the sea of Cortez flavors in our Campechana quickly had me possessed. Immediately, we were escorted up the hill to Lomita Estates where rows of wine greeted our arrival. The jasmine of the red wine quickly cleansed our pallets and prepared us for our next encounter. To the right, we felt a cold draft coming from the cement walls of the cellar full of barrels of wine. Again, reminding us of how beautiful this estate is and located right here in Baja. A glowing light guided our steps upstairs where Lomita revealed a mural from a famous artist, Jorge Tellaeche. An array of tapas of wagyu tostadas, rellenos or sweet chiles stuffed with salpicon, an authentic cold meat, and mixed with radishes was beautifully displayed, greeting our reception. We drank and admired the mural. Bright colors depicted imagines of Aztec warriors, flow-

ers, birds and a wonderful array of enticing visual senses. Jazz played in the background, and the guests took pictures, drank, laughed and enjoyed the moment. For our next serving, we found ourselves outside under the stars in a beautifully lit lounge area with the Talking Heads playing “Psycho Killer” on a big movie screen. We were handed a freshly squeezed margarita on the rocks and asked to wait, socialize and listen to the music. The change in atmosphere and scenery stripped of our senses of the feel from the other two rooms and quickly exported us to a scene from an 80s club. I felt like Alice jumping into a rabbit hole, and I was ready to ride. What was coming next? Our dinner began with a grilled scallop in shishito mole under a jicama dome, followed by pickled bamboo and uni for the second course. The third course was his infamous soft-shell crab that was

crispy, savory and soft. The fourth course was a grilled octopus in his popular peanut mole, and for dessert, an avocado sorbet with berries. Our last course was served with shots of espresso and mezcal. The beats of Cumbia Mafia gathered everyone to the dance floor. Both chefs grabbed a “mezcalito” and joined in the celebration. The detail and thought behind their dishes were on point. Olivera gave us a glimpse into his wizardry that evening and enchanted us all. Both Olivera and Soto-Innez managed to capture all our senses; sight, taste, sound and touch. Every setting had its own personality and exceeded my expectations. As a chef, I felt vulnerable, and the only time I felt like this before was at the birth of my son. I woke up the next day feeling enchanted and as if the last night was only a dream. For a second as I lay in bed, still feeling intoxicated, I wondered if I had died and gone to heaven.

What’s

bugging palms in Southern California?

Roger Boddaert SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There is nothing more iconic in the Southern California landscape than the exotic palms from all over the world that dot gardens and give them that far away vacation look of which we dream. From the cool coastal beach strand to the hot interior deserts, palms play a very important role in southland gardens. There are the tall and lanky palms Washingtonia robusta that grow over 80 feet tall and wave on the skyline, the stately date palm Phoenix dactylifera growing in the Coachella Valley, supplying the state with edible and yummy dates. Palms have become an integral plant in many of the landscapes of today and yesteryear. When large parcels of land were being developed for citrus groves out in Riverside and San Bernardino counties years ago, the Washingtonia fan palm were planted along the property lines to denote the owner’s citrus groves. There are so many species of palms that adorn local gardens; it is hard to think that many of the stately palms are threatened and might be gone in the future, due to bugs and diseases. One bug that is attacking some palms today is known as polyphagous shot hole borer with the fusarium dieback disease, aka PSHB. There are about 10 identified palm species currently being threatened by this dreaded pest. The insect bores right into the trunks and large palm fronds, making tunnels where the female insect lays its eggs and can carry a pathogenic fusarium fungal disease, which is used as the food source for the young larvae inside the palm. I attended a palm seminar in San Diego, as over 100 landscapers, city maintenance managers, farmers, nurserymen and those in the palm industry learned more about the pest. It was alarming to hear some of the prognosis for palms. Some of the palm species that this bug infects are kentia forsteriana, Phoenix canariensis, brahea armata, Washingtonia filifera or the California fan palm, archontophoenix cunninghamiana or King Palm, dypsis plumosa and others. Sawdust-like frass and gumming on the trunk are typical signs of this borer’s activity. So when inspecting palm trees, be on the lookout for these indicating items. The large Canary Island palm is being seriously plagued by another pest, the South American weevil, which gets into the crown of these majestic specimens and

eats from within and eventually the huge and heavy pineapple-like top tumbles rotten from the inside. The fungi from this weevil infestation are called Pink Rot. Dying palms in the landscape can be a liability if they fall over, so owners should be vigiliant. Care of these palms in the landscape is very important with proper

To help prevent the spreading of the Fusarium fungi, sterilize all pruning tools with 70 percent ethyl alcohol, for pruning tools can spread this fungi from palm to palm if not cleaned properly. There are also many other ornamental trees in the landscape that are being challenged by invasive pests and gardeners must be on the watch

horticultural stewardship. A landscape around a home is an investment, and homeowners should protect that investment with proper stewardship and understanding. Early detection and proper removal, including disposal of the infected wood, can reduce further populations of these bugs and aid in eliminating its spreading.

and conduct good surveillance. The past drought cycle has put a lot of trees into stress mode, and when the resistance of these trees starts to break down, they become susceptible to what I call opportunistic bugs that attack weak trees.

Lee & Associates in Riverside releases third quarter 2017 Industrial Market Summary RIVERSIDE – The Riverside office of Lee & Associates, the largest broker-owned commercial real estate firm in North America, has released its third quarter 2017 Industrial Market Summary for manufacturing and distribution buildings for the east valley market in Southern California’s Inland Empire. The third quarter of 2017, even with a lack of inventory, posted strong activity and gross absorption. Gross absorption for 2016 totaled 19.3 million square feet, continuing on the heels of the great absorption performances in 2015 of 15.3 million square feet and 2014 of 11.4 million square feet. Gross activity in the third quarter was 9.5 million square feet, with investment purchases and lease renewals accounting for 32.2 percent of the total. “Overall gross activity will only be constrained by supply; however, absorption is expected to remain steady, but may not be as high as the

previous year,” Lee & Associates Riverside President David Illsley said, who also noted that while there are more small development projects delivering in the next six to 12 months, there is still a lack of supply. Absorption is expected to remain steady, but may not be as high as the previous year. Third quarter 2017’s absorption figures were just below 6.4 million square feet, compared to 3.7 million square feet during the same period last year. Vacancy rates decreased slightly in the third quarter to 4.92 percent. Year-end 2017 is projected to show a stable vacancy rate, although it may rise given a projected moderate increase in new supply, vacancy is expected to remain at low levels as demand remains strong. The base for the third quarter represented 18.7 million square feet under construction, with 89.6 percent of the total in the 200,000plus square-foot range, a 23.4 percent increase over the previous

quarter. Nine buildings completed construction in the east valley in the third quarter, with 29 new buildings projected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Average asking sales prices persquare-foot increased in the third quarter with the supply of buildings offered for sale remaining limited. User buyers are competing with one another for quality buildings. The report, which was which was prepared by Caroline Payan, director of marketing and research of Lee’s Riverside office, also found that landlords are scrutinizing credit and financials to a great degree and are quicker to evict or push out slow or late paying tenants because of the pent-up demand. Quality tenants are more than happy to pay landlords asking rates.

Got curb appeal? Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

You only have one chance to make a first impression when you meet someone. First impressions are also important for people selling houses, except that it is called curb appeal. What is curb appeal? It considers how your home looks to a buyer right as they pull up to the curb. It includes your front yard, driveway and everything on your home’s exterior from

its paint job to the potted plants on your patio to even the welcome mat that greets people as they pass through your front door. Creating curb appeal is both an art and a science, and since it’s a buyer’s first impression of your home, it can be absolutely essential in selling your home. It’s one area where every bit of work that you do can pay off, if you are looking to get top dollar for your home. I mean it. Good landscaping design and appeal could add 20 percent to your home’s value. Ask any renovation

expert. Landscaping returns rival, and sometimes surpass, the returns on a new kitchen or bath. Supercharging your home’s curb appeal doesn’t have to cost an outrageous amount of money. You’d be surprised by how inexpensive improving your home’s front exterior can be, if you’re willing to do a little work yourself or maybe a lot of work. Here are some suggestions. First, clean everything. Washing the windows is a given, but before you do that, think about giving your house a good power wash to remove the dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the years. This step could save you the expense of repainting your entire home. Next, go for the touch-up changes. Once your house is shiny and clean, you may find that the entire house doesn’t need repainting, perhaps instead just paint the trim and the front door. While you’re at it, consider brightening the facade with a touch of contrasting color. You’ll be surprised by how a little pop of color can really freshen up the place. Do consider the mailbox. If your mailbox is on the street, there’s a good chance it’s been a bit beaten up. In fact, it could look like you’ve just stopped paying attention. Paint it, polish it or replace it. You’ll be glad you did. Repair or clean off the roof. If some of the shingles have come loose or if there’s visible damage to your roof, you absolutely must fix that issue. Hire a roof specialist to see just how much work is needed, and get it done. If your roof is relatively new and in good shape, at least clean off any pine needles, leaves or other detritus that might have accumulated there. Buyers are justifiably picky about the condition of the roof. Tame the foliage. This grooming involves not only cutting the grass but also clearing out any dead limbs, plants and other unwanted foliage that might be hanging around. In addition, get rid of any tree branches or bushes that may make your yard look crowded and dark and trim all hedges so that they look neat. Finally, plant some colorful flowers. It is best to do any planting a couple of weeks before the house goes on the market, so they’ve had the chance to grow in a bit and won’t look too contrived. Also, check the light fixtures. A small investment in a new front porch light can work wonders, but you’ll also want to pay attention to the condition of any other light fixtures in front, like those that may be on either side of the garage or

the street light in your front yard. Yes, potential buyers will probably make their first visit during the day, but attractive light fixtures can really add to the appeal of a home even if the lights aren’t on. Pay attention to landscaping trends. Possibly the hottest trend in landscape architecture, particularly with our temperate climate here in Southern California, is the outdoor room or terrace extension. We see a lot of homes with an adjacent outside terrace that marries the inside with the outside. This shift brings outdoor views into the house using fountains, trees or shrubs. Using building materials that complement the inside helps the spaces read fluently from one to the other. The interest in landscaping and property enhancement is a natural extension of the boom in home renovation and improvement. Homeowners are paying more attention to the link between indoors and outdoors.

Lastly, beware of landscaping pitfalls. Perhaps the biggest mistake homeowners make is taking a piecemeal approach to landscaping. Homeowners begin projects, start to clear areas, put in a mix of plants and proceed without a plan. The result is a hodgepodge of plantings and gardens that give the property a disorganized feel. Following a prepared plan by a professional landscape design will provide a polished look, which will lead you to a beautiful property with great curb appeal while remaining within a pre-established budget.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Animal lovers of all ages, along with their pets, are preparing to haunt Promenade Temecula

dressed in their best Halloween costume for Paws on the Promenade, Saturday, Oct. 14. The annual event raises muchneeded funds for Animal Friends of the Valleys, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

organization providing animal services to the cities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Wildomar, Menifee, Murrieta and Temecula. AFV also provides shelter services, as well as spay and neuter services and low-cost vaccines. Held from 1-4 p.m., Paws on the Promenade will feature a wide variety of activities including the always popular Spooktacular Dog Walk, pet adoptions, vendor booths and a costume contest. According to Beth Soltyslak, AFV’s director of donor development, Paws on the Promenade is making a big change this year with the addition of cats to the costume contest, which has typically been open to dogs only. While cats are new to the parade, pet adoptions will be for dogs only, she said. “It is sponsored by the ASPCA and John Hine Subaru,” Soltyslak said. “They will have to fill out

their paperwork and do their little background check to make sure that it’s a good environment for the pet being adopted. It’s just like we do it at the shelter.” Adopted pets typically go home with their new owners the day of the event, she said. “We really like to have the dogs adopted to forever homes,” she said. “We like to do our due diligence and make sure it is a great match.” This year’s vendors include a wide variety of businesses from pet services to real estate agents. “We have a lot of dog-related and cat-related booths. We have businesses, we have real estate, we have a get air booth, we have food booths, so it’s going to be a lot of different things, not just one particular genre or business,” Soltyslak said. This year’s costume contest categories will be judged at two

levels, the 12 and under owner and pet duo or group and the 12 and over owner and pet duo or group. Contest categories are Darling Divas, Dashing Dudes, Spookiest and Most Original, Soltyslak said. Pet participants will receive a treat bag from vendors and sponsors. Those wishing to participate can visit www.pawsonthepromenade. org or call Soltyslak directly at (951) 805-6239. Sign-ups are also available at the event. Vendor and sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information on sponsorship and vendor opportunities, contact Soltyslak. “The more the merrier, I always say,” Soltyslak said. “This is a great family-friendly, pet-friendly event that will be fun for the entire family.”

Welcoming back an old friend Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As a military spouse, I am used to people coming and going from my life. For many years we lived in military housing which is the epitome of a revolving door. People come and go from military housing on a weekly, sometimes even daily, basis as orders are processed and executed. Some days it seemed like there were so many new people in our neighborhood that it was impossible to keep track of them all. Once we bought our house in Murrieta, those revolving neighbor

issues came to standstill. We live in an established neighborhood, and while there have been a few new neighbors over the past five years, most have stayed the same. Work has been much of the same, while some writers have come and gone, mostly the staff is the same as it was when I started with Valley News nearly three years ago. One of those writers who left us was a young fellow by the name of Alex Groves. Alex was employed at Valley News throughout his time as a college student. He worked as a writer and as the weekend news

desk editor. Eventually, he graduated college and moved to a daily newspaper where he excelled on his beat. I watched this rising superstar for more than a year, seeing his name in print and bumping into him at various news events. Every time, I thought to myself, “I sure wish we could get him back at Valley News.” A few weeks ago, Alex reached out to Valley News Publisher Julie Reeder and myself, inquiring on the status of a possible position with Valley News. I was thrilled, excited and hoped beyond hope that we could broker a deal with this young writer who was making

Help is only a phone app away Assemblywoman Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Getting help or information from government agencies can often be time consuming and frustrating. Figuring out what agency to call and suffering through busy signals and multilayered automated phone directories can make callers forget the reason they called in the first place. But now people can get help by simply downloading an app through App Store on their smartphone. Yes, the state of California is trying to enter the 21st century. Downloadable apps include Caltrans, the Department of Motor Vehicles, state parks, Economic Development Department and Medi-Cal. There’s even an app

for the California Lottery. By accessing the DMV app, residents can make appointments for field office visits, register their vehicle, prepare to take the written driver exam by taking sample tests, watch driving videos or search for a nearby field office. By using the Caltrans app, drivers can get real-time traffic information including freeway speed, lane closures, California Highway Patrol incidents and general highway information. Don’t drive and text. At the State Parks app, travelers will find everything they need to plan a trip to a state park by searching by locations, activities, categories or park name. If someone is looking for a job, the EDD app can help them to access more than 20,000 websites and

search for jobs by keyword, area or occupation. By using Medi-Cal’s app, patients can find local phone numbers and information about nearby offices, along with health and benefit information. These are just a few of the apps available from various branches of state government. Official state apps are free, just look for the logo that indicates it’s an official state app. Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

waves across the local news scene. After some back and forth, I am pleased to announce that Alex Groves has returned to the staff of Valley News and we couldn’t be happier. His thoughtful writing style and passion for this business makes our acquisition of Alex a big win for all of us in the newsroom and for Valley News readers as well. He has a well-earned reputation for being accurate, fair and balanced and for telling a story in a timely and responsible manner, every time. Alex will cover breaking news as well as the Temecula and Wildomar beats, where he will report on everything from council meetings to community events. You might

even see his byline in a dining story or two, and on a good day, you should be able to find him out on the streets, searching out the news. For us at Valley News, Alex’s return to the fold signals the coming of a new era, one with fresh eyes and a young perspective. We are excited to see what he will bring each week to both our print edition and website, which readers can access by visiting www.myvalleynews.com. Please join us in welcoming Alex Groves back to Valley News.

Senator Mike Morrell responds to governor’s signing of sanctuary state legislation To the Editor, Unfortunately, the winners under SB 54 are individuals who have been arrested for committing crimes such as assault, theft or battery, just to name a few, and have extensive criminal histories or known gang affiliations. Our local law enforcement officers, who

keep us safe, will no longer be able to communicate with their federal counterparts in these situations, even when their expertise deems it in the public’s best interest. This session has been one of the most difficult I have seen. Combined with dangerous and misguided laws supported by the

Blotter Officer involved shooting Woman accused of leading deputies leads to arrest of one on chase with stolen Jeep in Wildomar Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

One man has been taken into custody following an officer involved shooting in Hemet, police officials reported. The incident occurred following a police pursuit in the early morning hours Sunday, Oct. 8. According to a press release issued by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the shooting occurred after a San Jacinto police officer “attempted to conduct a vehicle stop” on a red Ford Mustang in the area of Cottonwood Avenue and State Street in San Jacinto. “The officer witnessed erratic driving actions, and suspected the driver may be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The driver failed to yield, and a vehicle pursuit ensued,” Riverside County Sheriff Department Spokesman Deputy Mike Vasquez said. The chase wound its way through several cities, eventually entering into Hemet, where the driver “yielded to officers” near the intersection of Florida Avenue and Warren Road. “The vehicle was occupied by three adult occupants and both passengers exited the vehicle without

incident; however, the adult male driver pointed a handgun at the officers while exiting the vehicle and an officer involved shooting occurred,” Vasquez said. Medical staff was summoned to the scene and treated the suspect, later identified as Juan Inzunza, 37, of Moreno Valley, before transporting him to the hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. Inzunza was treated at the hospital and later booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center, in the city of Riverside, for felony evading, felon in possession of a firearm and violating the terms of his parole. Investigators from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Central Homicide Unit and Hemet Sheriff’s Station responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. “The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave per department policy. The involved officer’s name will not be released at this time,” Vasquez said. Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact Central Homicide Unit Investigator Bishop at (951) 955-2777 or Investigator Porrazzo at the Hemet Sheriff’s Station at (951) 791-3425.
