Harlow Austin, age 10 months, thinks her twin brother Hudson would look cute with a little hay on his head.

Elijah Belden opened his eyes for the first time last Sunday after being Courtesy photo electrically shocked on Oct. 4 at his birthday party.

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News A week after being placed in a medically induced coma, Temecula resident Elijah Belden, 10, opened his eyes for the first time on Oct. 12. He was surrounded by his parents Tony and Aly Belden and grandparents at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego.

Elijah was put into the coma at the Temecula Valley Hospital after an electrical current surged through his body during a freak accident on Oct. 4. The accident happened at his home while he was celebrating his 10th birthday a few weeks early.

He was later flown by helicopter to the San Diego hospital for further treatment.

Oct. 13 is officially Elijah’s birthday and his family is feeling blessed to be able to celebrate his life. The Beldens announced on their Facebook page, “Pray for Elijah Belden,” that after the breathing tubes were removed, he was able to speak.

“Smiling so big we could all eat a banana sideways. Praise the Lord.

Elijah has been extubated tonight.

Words just cannot express how happy mom and dad are that our son was able to tell us his name moments after the tube was removed.

Thank you Jesus for answered prayer,” the family posted.

The Beldens expressed their gratitude to all those who prayed for their son. “Elijah and our family have definitely felt your prayers.

We will not only be celebrating Elijah’s 10th birthday but we will be truly celebrating his life. Continue to #prayforelijah7 as we hit the road to recovery,” they also posted.

Elijah’s ordeal began when he was with family and friends in his backyard celebrating his birthday.

He was having a pool party with children from his school and baseball team and they were having fun swimming on the unusually hot evening.

Elijah was standing away from

A gift shop is located on the farm where guests can pay for their pumpkins or pick up a few extra seasonal decorations.

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Wickerd Farms in Menifee has been selling pumpkins since 1991 and it’s become a tradition for Valley families to purchase their Halloween pumpkins there.

The Wickerd family started growing pumpkins in 1991 for fun and sold them on the side of the road from their car.

“In 1993, we had the Winchester fire so I donated all my pumpkins to the ‘Head Start Program’ at Menifee Elementary,” Jack Wickerd said.

In 1994, the Wickerds tried selling their pumpkins close to

the edge of Scott Road. However, pumpkins didn’t like the direct heat of a hot October sun.

“Our pumpkins melted,” Julie Wickerd said. The patch is now nestled under shady, protective branches of tall oak trees that are over 100 years old.

“The customers and the pumpkins are much happier under the cool shade of the oak trees,” Jack said.

This month’s hot weather subsided over the past weekend and Oct. 10 to 12 was the patch’s busiest weekend so far.

Hard News Suspect in custody after SWAT standoff Help sought to identify Dyson theft suspects Police need help identifying suspects above who are wanted in connection with vacuum cleaner thefts from Target in Murrieta.

JP Raineri photos

MURRIETA - As of presstime, felony charges were expected to be filed Wed. Oct. 15, against a probationer accused of assaulting his girlfriend and stealing her car, then fleeing from Murrieta police before ultimately surrendering.

Kenneth Paul Haley, 33, was arrested last week on suspicion of domestic violence, robbery, vehicle theft and probation violations in connection with an attack in the 23800 block of Corinth Drive.

He’s being held in lieu of $70,000 bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to Murrieta police Sgt. Matt Henry, around 5:30 a.m.

Thursday, Haley got into an argument with his girlfriend, whose identity was not released, culminating in his allegedly striking her, snatching her purse and driving off

in her car.

The woman was not seriously hurt and did not require hospitalization.

Officers found her vehicle abandoned nearby and conducted a search using canines, but there was no trace of the convicted felon, prompting police to surround his residence, believing he had returned and barricaded himself inside, Henry said.

“Based on the circumstances and the Murrieta Police Department›s knowledge of an October 2012 arrest of Haley in which a multitude of dangerous weapons were recovered from inside the residence, the decision was made to utilize SWAT,’’ the sergeant said.

Negotiators attempted to elicit a response from inside the house, even deploying a robot to access

and survey the property, according to Henry.

However, after nearly seven hours, there was no sign of Haley, leading SWAT members to make a tactical entry -- and confirm the house was unoccupied.

“Several hours later, Haley returned home and contacted the police department via telephone,›› Henry said.

“After approximately 45 minutes of speaking with the suspect, he voluntarily exited the residence and was taken into custody without further incident.”

According to court records, Haley has prior convictions for possession of controlled substances and illegal possession of a destructive device. He was sentenced to three year’s probation in April.

MURRIETA - Images of a couple who stole vacuum cleaners from a Target Superstore in Murrieta were made public in the hope someone would recognize them.

The thefts occurred Aug. 30 and Sept. 28 at the store at 27818 Clinton Keith Road, according to Murrieta police Sgt. Phil Gomez.

In the first theft, a man and woman carrying a toddler removed security tags from two boxes containing Dyson vacuum cleaners valued at $1,100, then put the boxes in a cart and left, Gomez said.

On Sept. 28, the same woman tried to leave the store without paying for a Dyson vacuum cleaner but was momentarily stopped by a security guard who recognized her from the earlier theft, he said.

The woman told the security guard that he shouldn’t touch her and fled, leaving the cart behind, Gomez said.

The woman, believed to be in her late 20s, was described as Hispanic, about 5 feet 3 inches and 130 - 150 pounds, with long dark hair; she was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and torn blue jeans with darkcolored shoes.

The man, about 30, appeared to be mixed Hispanic and Caucasian, about 5 feet 10 inches and 230 250 pounds, with short-cropped brown hair; he was wearing a black T-shirt, black Dickie shorts and dark-colored shoes.

Anyone with more information is urged to call Gomez at (951) 461-6356.

block of Monique Circle, in the City of Temecula, regarding a wanted suspect at a residence.

Upon the officers’ arrival, they learned that a male adult at the location was wanted for a stabbing that had occurred earlier that day in Northern California. During the officers’ investigation, they learned that the suspect had been seen at the residence and that his vehicle was still at the scene. The officers made numerous attempts to have the suspect exit the residence, which he refused and remained inside.

Because the suspect refused to exit

the residence and barricaded himself inside, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department SWAT Team responded.

After a lengthy standoff, the suspect surrendered peacefully to SWAT members and was taken into custody.

The suspect, a 59-year-old resident of Sacramento, Arthur Ben Taylor was arrested for an assault with a deadly weapon warrant and wasbooked into the Southwest Detention Center.

Anyone with any information related to this incident is encouraged to call the Temecula Police Department at (951) 696-3000.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE!

WE WANT TO SAY YES TO EVERY OFFER!

Border Patrol agents on I-15 intercept over $600k of China White heroin MURRIETA — U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested a man on Oct. 7, who had more than 32 pounds of China White heroin hidden inside his car.

At approximately 9 a.m., agents patrolling I-15 observed a 2002 Volkswagen Passat headed north.

They initiated a vehicle stop to question the 21-year-old U.S. citizen driver. The man claimed he was going to Temecula to visit his uncle.

During the vehicle stop, a nearby K-9 alerted to the man’s Volkswagen and agents asked and received permission to search the vehicle at the nearby checkpoint. Once at the I-15 checkpoint, agents observed some oddities with the vehicle’s heat shield. They searched the area and discovered an after-market compartment built into the car’s exhaust tunnel. When they removed the access cover, they

found 24 bundles of China White heroin wrapped in cellophane.

The heroin weighed approximately 32.63 pounds and has an estimated street value of $636,400.

Agents arrested the man for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. He was turned over to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Special Investigative Bureau and faces state charges.

The vehicle was seized by the Border Patrol.

a 20-acre property along Los Gatos Road in De Luz, an unincorporated community just west of Temecula, involved DEA agents, San Diego County Sheriff ’s deputies and Bureau of Land Management officials.

All of the personnel belong to a DEA-coordinated anti-drug trafficking task force based in San Diego, she said.

According to Roderick, that morning a task force helicopter crew was flying along the boundary separating Riverside and San Diego counties and spotted numerous cannabis plants in a large open field just inside the Riverside County line.

“We had a conversation with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. We informed them that we had located a grow and were going to eradicate it. And that’s what we did,” said Roderick. “We are federally deputized officers. We can cross county (and state) lines.”

During Tuesday, Oct. 7th Riverside County Board of Supervisors’ meeting, Supervisor Kevin Jeffries related second-hand details of what had transpired at the property,

ouflage and carrying guns dropped from a helicopter, cut down her crop, loaded it onto the chopper and flew away,” Jeffries said.

The supervisor expressed concern that one of two known drug cartels in the area could have been involved. Jeffries said his staff has identified at least 250 outdoor marijuana grows, possibly run by the cartels, in Good Hope, Meadowbrook and Mead Valley.

Jeffries also raised the possibility that a security firm active in Mendocino County might have conducted the raid. The firm has been hired by land owners to eradicate illegal, or “trespass,” marijuana crops in Northern California.

The supervisor’s aide, Tom Ketcham said the owner of the De Luz property claimed the helicopter that landed in her field bore markings that indicated it was under contract and not a government-owned aircraft.

The property owner also told the supervisor’s staff that the individuals conducting the raid handcuffed her manager while gathering up the plants, then released him and told him not to call the police as they

According to the federal agent, 100 cannabis plants were seized, with a street value of about $100,000.

Roderick was bewildered by the conflicting stories that ensued after the seizure. She admitted that the DEA’s San Diego task force doesn’t often roam into Riverside County, which is generally the domain of the Los Angeles office.

“Our team happened to be over there, saw this grow and decided to act,” she said. “That’s what we do.”

According to Roderick, the task force stays busy from March to November because that’s the period in which outdoor cultivation generally is most productive.

“These traffickers are growing marijuana on public land, stealing and diverting water. A lot of times they’re armed,” Roderick said.

“There’s a public safety threat. If we see a grow from the air, we’re going in there. But we don’t just run around arresting people.”

She would not comment on whether agents intend to seek charges against the De Luz property owner.

Local Memorial bricks can still be purchased for Lake Elsinore’s veterans memorial Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News As the city of Lake Elsinore prepares to unveil its long-awaited veterans memorial in November, the community is invited to pur-

chase memorial bricks for those who have bravely served in the armed forces of the United States.

Preparations for the installation of the city’s memorial at the Diamond Stadium are expected to begin the week of Oct. 13. The

AM

memorial will officially be unveiled during the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix on Nov. 8 or 9.

“The date and time of the unveiling are not yet confirmed,” said Nicole Dailey, public information officer for the City of Lake Elsinore.

“We have waited far too long to celebrate the installation of this important monument in our community,” said Councilman Brian Tisdale who served on the Veterans Memorial Ad-hoc Committee.

“We are proud to finally have a place in our community to honor and remember the brave men and women who have served to protect our country and our freedom.”

The custom memorial is made from premium black granite and will include two monument areas in the main entrance area of the Diamond Stadium.

The upper memorial area is a large, custom premium black granite monument etched with the depiction of a solider in front of a

fallen soldier’s battlefield grave.

The grave is marked by the rifle, helmet, dog tags and the boots of a fallen soldier. The inverted rifle has become a well-known symbol to respect and honor those lost in battle and is a practice that dates back to the Civil War. The lower monument area will include five premium granite pedestals with the insignia for each of the branches surrounding a 25-foot flagpole with lighting.

The memorial will also include the engravings of surrounding bricks that veterans and/or their families can purchase to honor their service.

“The new memorial brick program is a lasting way to pay tribute to those who are special to us and who have sacrificed for our country,” said Mayor Natasha Johnson.

“This program and memorial will allow us to establish a new tradition in the City of Lake Elsinore to honor our great heroes each year.”

The local American Legion Post

200 and the VFW are assisting the city with administering its new memorial brick program.

Forms for the program are available on the city’s website, www.

Lake-Elsinore.org, or they can be picked up and submitted to the local American Legion or VFW. The cost of each brick is $30 and includes three lines of information about the veteran. Lake Elsinore residents and residents of other Valley cities are encouraged to purchase a brick.

Bricks will only be engraved once per year. Every year, the city will unveil the latest memorial brick requests at an annual Veterans Day observance during the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix.

To ensure that a brick is included in the upcoming unveiling this year, forms and payments must be received by Oct. 17. If there are any questions regarding the Memorial Brick Program, please contact Dailey at (951) 674-3124 or email at ndailey@lake-elsinore.org.

Children will also be a primary consideration for this year’s event, which will offer an enhanced children’s area for the kids to frolic.

The area will have face painting, pony rides, petting zoo and the excitable extreme game trailer.

Live Greek folk dancing and the special instruments that go with it will once again be featured.

After a record event last year, the Greek Festival has announced plans for more food, fun and musical celebration than ever before.

The festival will take place Saturday, Oct. 25 and Sunday, Oct. 26 at the Civic Center in Old Town and will mark the end of the Greek festival season for Southern California. For the first time, the City of Temecula has agreed to co-sponsor this year’s culinary extravaganza.

The city’s co-sponsoring of the event isn’t the only change this year. There will be earlier start times for both Saturday and Sunday. Festivities will begin at 10 a.m. instead of 11 a.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. instead of 12 p.m. on Sunday to accommodate hungry hordes of event attendees. The hungry crowds last year stood in line even while tents were being set up and food was being prepared.

There will also be more shade for those waiting in line. To reduce waiting time, there will be more service windows to take orders

It All Starts With The Right Team

On Thurs, Oct. 9 at the Temecula Civic Center, Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley held its annual Appreciation Dinner, honoring those who have been this year’s major contributors to the mission of the local organization.

Habitat for Humanity facilitates partnerships of volunteer labor, donated goods, and reduced or nointerest loans to build low-income homes and improve neighborhoods. The organization does not give away homes, but provides an opportunity for homeownership, requiring 500 hours of sweat equity as part of each homeowner’s foundational equity. The parent organization is involved in disaster response, government relations and advocacy, neighborhood revitalization and housing microfinance.

The local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1991 to help low-income individuals achieve the dream of homeownership and improve neighborhood living conditions.

This year’s honorees include: Brent Eskildsen Award – Craig Evans Certificate of Appreciation – Kain Evans Habitat Founders Legacy Award – Vicki Puterbaugh Habitat Hero Award – Rick Gibrich, Lake Elsinore ReStore Habitat Hero Award – Janice Dinoso, Temecula ReStore Habitat Hero Award, Fundraising – Joan Price Habitat Hero award, A Brush With Kindness – SSgt Udberto Rivas Habitat Hero Award, High School Chapter – Diane Anderson, Temecula Valley High School Golden Hammer Award – Pechanga Resort & Casino Silver Ladder Award – California Bank & Trust Bronze Paintbrush – Brandel Masonry Supplies Hope Builder Award – Joe’s Hardware Spirit of Giving Award – William Clough Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley has a diverse menu of services: Construction Projects (Home Preservation, Rehabs, New Homes, Recycle); Specialty programs (High School Chapters, Faith Relations, Financial Wellness Workshops); and ReStore (Healthy Homes Workshops, Local NonProfit Support).

The organization serves a population area of almost 500,000; with 7 percent (Murrieta) to 28.2 percent (Perris) living at or below the poverty level (as determined by latest U.S. Census).

This local affiliate has completed 61 projects this past year, including 56 “A Brush With Kindness” projects, two critical home repair

projects, and three collaborative (Home Depot) home repair projects. The organization served 82 individuals, 17 veterans or spouses of veterans and 73 seniors. Their recipient recapture showed a fivefold increase.

They now have five high school chapters (Chaparral, Great Oak, Temecula Valley, Rancho Vista and Vista Murrieta). They also have eight Faith Relation Partners (Grace Presbyterian, The Rock Church, Trinity Lutheran, Jesus Loves Koreans, United Church of the Valley, Murrieta United Methodist Church, Temecula United Methodist Church and Mountain View Community Church).

This year, 1,051 volunteers contributed 15,460 hours or the equivalent of $407,222 of paid labor, working on 19 rehabs and 11 builds. Volunteers at the two ReStores (opened in 2008 and 2009) saved the organization $109,250 in labor costs; approximately 640 tons of re-usable items were diverted from landfill.

Fundraising efforts this year included 330 individual donors, a new “Cars for Homes” program and a new Annual Fund. The organization is using direct mail, public relations (12 networking events), website and social media, and events. Events include: World Habitat Day (Oct. 28, Old Town Temecula Theater), Christmas Tree Lane, Golf Tournament, Chocolate & Wine Event, and Microbrew Festival.

Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International whose vision is to have “a world where everyone has a decent place to live.”

It took 25 years for the parent organization and its affiliates to serve 100,000 families; this year alone they served 124,946 families. Since their founding in 1976, they have helped more than 750,000 families with their shelter situations. They are building toward one million homes. Habitat for Humanity is the largest private homebuilder in the U.S. and #10 among all home builders. Every 24 hours, 150 homes are completed worldwide.

One million individuals volunteer to build each year. Microloans in Europe and central Asia increased 333 percent this year with $31.3 million disbursed.

“It warms my heart to be able to honor the generosity of our many volunteers and donors,” said Tammy Marine, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley. “Not one gesture of kindness goes unnoticed and because of this amazing group, we are able to serve the families and individuals in this valley who need us the most.

Volunteerism and philanthropy, in general, are the heart and soul of Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley and we remain so grateful.”

the pool, according to witnesses, by a canopy-like tent taking photos with his friend and mother.

“He just fell to the floor,” said Tony Belden. “His mom took a photo, checked on photo, looked up and he was on the ground. It happened that fast.”

Aly Belden ran to help her son, but was electrically shocked when she touched him. At this point, no one knew what had happened to Elijah.

A family friend at the party, Scott Baker, who’s also an Orange County sheriff’s deputy, tried to help Elijah, but was also shocked. Baker quickly realized the situation and pushed Elijah to safety and administered CPR until the paramedics arrived. The Beldens said Baker’s quick thinking probably saved their son’s life.

On Oct. 9, MRI results came back normal. Elijah’s family reported that there was no damage to his heart or brain. Tony Belden said they plan on giving Elijah another birthday party now that he’s on the road to recovery.

“Families at Rancho Community Church are overjoyed at the great news of Elijah’s steps toward recovery and can’t wait until they are able to return home,” said Alex McLean, a pastor at the church where the Beldens are members.

McLean has been actively supporting the Beldens from the beginning of their ordeal. “We continue to pray for the Beldens and for many more families, who are currently facing major medical situations,” he said.

Are you conserving water during the state’s drought? If so, how?

Peter Parris, 31 Active military Murrieta resident “Yes. I’m turning off the water while brushing my teeth. I’m trying to minimize flushing of toilets. Also, I’m minimizing watering of the grass and taking quicker showers.”

Sharon Hayes, 66 Retired Menifee resident “Yes. I only wash two loads of wash a week, one dark, one light.

I just use cold water from the tap and heat it up in the microwave instead of running the faucet until the water is hot. I also have my water sprinkler timers set for shorter periods of time.”

Madalynne Baunet, 50 Girl Scouts volunteer Jennifer Baunet, 13 Student Menifee residents “Yes, we are. We’ve cut back on our water usage on our lawn, which is significant because we have an acre. We’re taking shorter showers.

We pour leftover cooking water on plants and the lawn. My husband installed lower water using toilets. Our water bill has gone down.

We’re headed in the right direction.”

Mando Medina, 16 Student Temecula resident “Yes, I turn off the water when I brush my teeth and I take shorter showers.”

depend on the state to help us maintain what we have created partnering with parents, teachers, staff and our very caring community. We must take steps locally to protect the outstanding quality of education in Murrieta.

To that end, the district’s Strategic Plan provides a solid foundation for continued progress forward. In particular it emphasizes: A world-class education, integrating academic and vocational skill mastery, prepares students for the challenges, opportunities and careers of a competitive global society.

A quality education system results in students who think critically, work cooperatively, communicate effectively and act ethically.

Effective use of technology creates more powerful instructional systems and enables students to communicate and compete in a global environment.

Guided by the Plan, MVUSD has worked with our community over the past year to identify critical educational needs – especially educational technology needs – that require attention to continue to protect the superior quality of education in our schools. Measure BB authorizes a prudent, responsible plan to meet these needs.

3603 W. Florida Avenue • Hemet, CA 92545

cal, lighting and HVAC systems, indoor and outdoor safety hazards, and other facilities to improve student and staff safety.

Constructing new classrooms and school facilities to accommodate growth in student enrollment.

Completing these projects will permit MVUSD to continue to provide an outstanding educational setting with advanced technology and skills training needed to succeed in college and future careers.

By dedicating district instructional resources to stay aligned with the technology change curve, Murrieta students will be better prepared for college and careers in fields like science, engineering, technology and skilled trades.

BB provides a prudent, responsible bond plan including mandatory taxpayer protections Great care and attention has been invested into building a measure that is aligned with the values and high expectations of our community. For example: By law, all Measure BB funds stay in the district, benefitting only MVUSD schools. The state cannot take this funding away.

Measure BB funds can be spent on school technology, facilities and equipment only. No funds are allowed for administrators’ or teachers’ salaries, benefits or pensions.

An Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and mandatory performance and financial audits will ensure funds are spent properly.

Measure BB bonds will be structured to match the type of asset and the life of the assets they will be funding. For example: Measure BB bonds used to purchase (short-life) technology devices will have a maximum maturity of three years; bonds for technology infrastructure upgrades will have a maximum maturity of 15 years.

Bonds for (long-life) capital assets (like reroofing projects or building a new school) will have a maximum maturity of 30 years, just like a home mortgage. This is modeled more like you manage your own finances.

The projected payback ratio of Measure BB is 1.99:1. This is less than half of the new state standard

of 4:1. The district has used a conservative 4.00 percent assumption for future MVUSD assessed valuation growth. (This is part of the board’s commitment to “underpromise and over-deliver” to the voters and taxpayers of Murrieta Valley).

Finally, MVUSD faculty, staff, and administration have prepared an Educational Technology Strategy that will provide teachers and students the appropriate technology for their specific needs, when they need it – the plan does not assume that every student needs the same device all the time.

Giving our children, and our community, a competitive edge Today’s high school graduates need to be prepared to compete in a highly technical workforce.

MVUSD is working hard to ensure that Murrieta students succeed – whether it means getting into college or landing a good paying job directly after graduation.

Whether or not you have schoolage children, protecting the quality of our schools and the value of our homes is a wise investment. Good schools protect property values and attract quality families and businesses to our community.

Please join teachers, parents, civic and business leaders, and residents throughout Murrieta Valley taking a positive step to help our schools and education community continue to thrive. Learn more about the growing momentum of our campaign at www.YesOnBBforMVschools.com.

Most importantly, make the time to vote in the November election.

And please, stand with all of us who believe that quality schools help protect what we love most.

Please vote yes on Measure BB. Thank you.

Legal protections extended to children who witness domestic violence incidents Marie Waldron Assemblymember, 75th District As a mother, I can think of nothing worse than an assault involving a child. While providing legal protection for children in cases of domestic violence has always been a top priority of our court system, children who are present and witness these acts, but remain physically unharmed have not been afforded the same legal safeguards.

Existing law authorizes courts to issue specified protective restraining orders upon a good cause belief that harm or intimidation

of a victim is reasonably likely to occur. Until now however, children who witness incidents of domestic violence, but who were not physically harmed, were not subject to these protective orders.

To remedy this situation, I introduced Assembly Bill 1850, which expands current statutes by declaring that children who are present during domestic violence incidents are, by definition, witnesses to a crime who have suffered harm, even though they were not physically assaulted. This clarification will allow the courts to issue restraining orders that safeguard

these children.

I was very pleased that AB 1850 was one of just 24 bills endorsed by the Legislative Women’s Caucus.

The bill passed both houses of the Legislature unanimously, receiving final legislative approval on August 19. I am also happy to report that Governor Brown signed AB 1850 into law on September 27.

It is my hope that taking this step will close a longstanding legal loophole by providing badly needed legal protections to children suffering through one of life’s most devastating emotional ordeals.

Major search for Sally Estabrook suspended; Family, Sheriff’s Department calls on public for identification help chance that she is no longer in that area. “We haven’t found her, and we haven’t found any clues of her there,” Parker said.

“We’re just trying to stay positive,” Dave Mustaine said.

“With good motives a lot can be done,” Pam Mustaine said.

Fallbrook resident Sally Estabrook, age 76, was last seen Oct. 4 at a Julian campground, from where she wandered away.

Mrs. Estabrook has Alzheimer’s.

thing about it,” she said.

The night temperatures in Julian have been in the low 60s, which minimizes the risk of hypothermia if Estabrook is still in that area, although the warm weather also means that most California cold-weather homeless shelters are closed until mid-fall. “We were going to check shelters, but a lot of them aren’t even open yet,” Pam Mustaine said.

Dave Mustaine noted that his mother-in-law might have found shelter in a shed or a garage. “We’re asking that you look there,” he said.

Dave Mustaine brought up the possibility that Estabrook might also have been taken to a hospital, although the Sheriff’s Department has been checking with hospitals for patients who match Estabrook’s description.

“We need your help,” Dave Mustaine said.

“It’s still a search and rescue, and even if it’s not a search and rescue, it’s a search and recovery,” Parker said.

Parker explained that in the event that the result is the recovery of Estabrook’s body, it can be returned to her family.

“Not knowing is worse,” he said.

“It is a search and rescue. We always hope for the best,” Parker said. “There’s still hope even though it is slim.”

The fact that searchers did not find Estabrook’s body increases the chance that she is still alive, although the lack of any clues in the area near the campgrounds also increases the

After the first full weekend of searching for Sally Estabrook failed to find the 76-year-old Fallbrook resident with Alzheimer’s disease, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department suspended major search efforts.

“We suspended the large-scale aspect,” said Sheriff’s Department search and rescue coordinator Don Parker.

Parker made his comment the morning of Monday, Oct. 13, which was the tenth day of the search.

Although the temporary facilities around the Julian campground where Estabrook disappeared were broken down on the night of Oct. 12, efforts to find Estabrook will still operate out of the Sheriff’s Department headquarters in San Diego.

“The major search effort has been suspended,” Parker said. “We never stop searching.”

Estabrook has been missing since approximately 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4. Estabrook and her husband, Bob, were part of a camping club, which had traveled to the Pinezanita RV Park and Campgrounds in Julian. The group arrived on Friday, Oct. 3. On Oct. 4 Bob Estabrook took a shower. When he returned his wife was missing. After her husband last saw Estabrook another camper saw her standing outside but didn’t realize that she had Alzheimer’s.

Estabrook is 5 feet 4 inches tall and has blue eyes and shoulderlength blonde hair. Her unknown status may have affected her eating, but she weighed 145 pounds the last time she was on a scale. When she was discovered missing she was wearing a teal top, white capri pants, and white tennis shoes.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department initially deployed search and rescue assets including the ASTREA (Aerial Support To Regional Enforcement Agencies) helicopter.

More than 300 volunteers (counting separately the same person on different days if volunteers searched on multiple days) looked for Estabrook during the first seven days. “Red Cross has been invaluable in helping us out and bringing up food and refreshments,” Parker said.

On Oct. 10 Estabrook’s family members and the Sheriff’s Department convened a press conference requesting that the general public help identify Estabrook. Estabrook’s daughter Pam Mustaine, son-in-law Dave Mustaine, and Parker spoke at the press conference at the Sheriff’s Department headquarters.

“This is a human being who’s gone missing and we do want the community to help,” Parker said.

“This is an Alzheimer’s walkaway search that’s all too often replicated over and over again.”

Estabrook and her husband have lived in Fallbrook for approximately ten years. Pam Mustaine was raised in Upland, which for purposes of her mother’s hiking and camping pleasures is near Mount Baldy.

“They’ve just always camped,” she said. “Loved life and loved the outdoors and loved camping.”

Dave Mustaine noted that his mother-in-law was in good physical health. “She did hike a lot. She did walk a lot,” he said.

“Her body was in great health,” Pam Mustaine said. “Her mind went.”

Pam Mustaine last saw her mother about two weeks prior to Estabrook’s disappearance. “She recognized me,” Mustaine said. “She couldn’t talk.”

Although Estabrook often isn’t

able to talk, she has been known to respond to “Sally” or “Nana.”

“She’s just really humble, sweet,” Pam Mustaine said.

The U.S. Forest Service, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and the state Office of Emergency Services joined the search. “We’re so grateful,” Dave Mustaine said.

The search units included the Sheriff’s Department mounted patrol and the volunteer Ramona Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol.

The Pinezanita RV Park and Campgrounds is in the 4400 block of Highway 79 in Julian. The campground itself is 26 acres. “At this point that continues to be an area of focus,” Parker said.

Much of the search was in the immediate area. “It’s very, very thick brush. The terrain is mountainous,” Parker said. Mountain lions and coyotes have been known to frequent the area. “That’s a concern,” Parker said, noting that the predators create hazards both for Estabrook and for night searchers. “We’re searching generally from daylight to just a few hours past dusk.”

Mountain lions are ambush predators, and a mountain lion den is believed to exist approximately a mile from the site.

The searchers looked on foot in areas of high probability covering a search area approximately 6 miles by 10 miles.

“We’re looking outside of the camp right now,” Dave Mustaine said.

Parker noted that ponds in the area were also checked.

Approximately 85 volunteers joined the search on Saturday, Oct. 11, and approximately 100 volunteers helped search for Estabrook on Sunday, Oct. 12. “We did have a really good showing from out of county,” Parker said. “We searched a lot of areas.”

The search during the weekend of Oct. 11 - 12 included more than 10 miles on the Sunrise Highway. “We came up with nothing,” Parker said.

“She couldn’t stay put,” Pam Mustaine said. “She just has to stay moving.”

The Sheriff’s Department has received between half a dozen and a dozen calls on potential information about Estabrook.

One caller reported potentially seeing Estabrook approximately one mile south of the campground on Sunday, Oct. 5, but did not call until the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 7.

“We need to continue to ask the public to keep their eyes open for Sally,” Parker said. “A whole lot of eyes are better than just a few.”

Dave Mustaine urged anyone who thinks they see Estabrook to call 911.

He noted that someone may have given her a ride and that calling the San Diego Crime Stoppers (888) 580-8477 number anonymously would eliminate any issues about giving the missing person the ride.

“We don’t care. We just want her back,” he said.

“If she got a ride with somebody then there’s a good chance she’s in a homeless shelter,” Parker said.

Estabrook has had noticeable signs of Alzheimer’s disease for the past three to four years. “She wouldn’t know how to put two words together and she may look like a homeless person at this point,” Pam Mustaine said.

Pam Mustaine added that most members of the public wouldn’t be able to discern a wandering Alzheimer’s victim from a homeless person. “A lot of people just think they’re homeless and don’t do any-

Local WICKERD, from page A-1 “This is our first time here and we love it,” said Erin Austin, who came to the farm with her husband and three children.

“It is very low key and has a nice family vibe,” Chris Austin said.

Gavin Prince, 4, couldn’t figure out which pumpkin was his favorite so he kept his mom busy running around the patch.

“We come here every year,” said Gavin’s mom, Tanna Smith-Prince.

“It is relaxing and I don’t have to worry about being pressured to buy anything but the pumpkins, and we can just hang out under the tree until we find the pumpkins we want.”

The Wickerds no longer grow pumpkins. They purchase them from a local grower and then weigh and price them. They put the price on the bottom of the pumpkins for

customers’ convenience.

Wagons make shopping for pumpkins easy. The farm carries a large variety of different colored pumpkins, including other decorative fall items such as Indian corn, ornamental pumpkins and fresh gourds. The gift shop also sells pumpkin carving kits.

This year the farm is offering hayrides upon request at no cost, plus a picnic area and small play area located under a large oak tree.

the age of two and valiantly fought the disease until succumbing on Dec. 19, 2007, just three weeks shy of his third birthday. His parents have established the nonprofit Christopher Gibney Foundation to honor his life and memory.

The Christopher Gibney Foundation began as the Windsor Music Foundation and was founded in 2003 to support Music Education in Sonoma County in Northern California. Severe cuts in Music Education at that time had eliminated many music programs throughout the region. Christopher was born in 2005 and the Gibney family then moved to Southern California where David accepted a music teacher position in the Escondido Union School District and where he now continues as Music Director of the Del Dios Academy of Arts & Sciences. After Christopher’s illness and death the foundation was renamed after him and his family felt compelled to expand its mission to include increasing awareness of neuroblastoma, supporting research and helping families that are affected by this horrific disease. Christopher’s surviving sibling, Bridget, attends school in the Temecula Valley Unified School District.

Local Oak Grove Center’s So-Cal Chef Open promises to be a delicious fundraiser Leona Mae Garcia, age 84, passed away on Sept. 14, 2014 after a short illness, in Norfolk, Virginia.

Originally from St. Helens, Oregon, she was preceded in death by her parents, Leon and Icil Belles, and her loving husband, John Raymond Garcia. She and John had retired to Sun City, California after owning and operating John’s Art & Frame Center in Los Gatos, California for 20 years. They lived in Sun City for many years and were married for almost 50 years until John’s passing in 2001. They were blessed with many wonderful friends who will always be remembered for their kindness and friendship.

Chef Leone D’Arcangelo and his crew from Fresco Trattoria & Bar in Bonsall competed last year and won Courtesy photos Top Chef People’s Choice Award for 2013 at the 6th Annual So-Cal Chef Open.

Foodies in Southwest Riverside County and beyond will find plenty of like-minded individuals if they attend the Oak Grove Center’s So-Cal Chef Open starting at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 20, inside the Grand Ballroom at Pechanga Resort & Casino.

They will also be supporting a great cause.

Part fundraiser, part culinary experience — the So-Cal Chef Open pits a dozen of the best chefs in Southern California against one another in competition for two awards on the night, and the proceeds from the event will go toward helping the athletic programs at the nonprofit Oak Grove Center, located in Murrieta.

Tickets are $45 online at www. oakgrovecenter.org and at the door, but just $35 at participating restaurants and catering establishments.

In the morning, Oak Grove will also host its 12th annual Golf Classic at Journey at Pechanga.

That event, however, is already sold out.

“We are so grateful for the support we have had from the amazingly talented and generous chefs as well as our loyal golfers who return year after year,” said Oak Grove Center CEO Tammy Wilson.

“Sports build character and most of our youth have not previously been involved in organized sports so this truly makes a difference in their development, social skills, character building and confidence.”

Guests will taste dishes from each of the 12 chefs in competition and will be asked to vote on their favorites. The people’s choice “Top Chef” award will be handed out at the end of the evening, along with the “Pinnacle Award” winner, voted on by this year’s celebrity judges which include Steve Cazel (“Cutthroat Island,” “Survivor”), Amanda Colello (“Hell’s Kitchen”), Comedian Rocky Osborn (Aces Comedy Club) and last year’s “The Judge’s Pinnacle Award” winner, Chef Steve Stawinski (Wilson Creek’s Creekside Grille).

Serving up tasty dishes on Monday night will be Chef

In July of 2010, Leona relocated to Norfolk, Virginia to live with her daughter, Lynn, and son-in-law, Joseph Shealey.

She is survived by her daughter, Lynn Shealey of Norfolk, Virginia, and her son, Richard Garcia of Los Angeles, California. She also leaves behind her sister, Arda Sievers of Tillamook, Oregon; a niece and two nephews; and two granddaughters, Emma and Hanna.

Cremation services were performed by Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home of Norfolk. At her request, no service was held. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.hollomon-brown.com.

days a week. Café Bloom is successfully responding to the needs and desires of the community.

Most of the food is prepared by Farm to Table Catering in Vista, a company that uses organic ingredients purchased from local growers.

The catering staff shop daily, and because of this, seasonal menus for Café Bloom are a necessity. The current menu includes salads, soup, and wraps. Diners will soon discover that there is a definite difference in the taste of organic food – the flavors are more discernable and intense.

As the server slid the lunch plate in front of me I was pleasantly sur-

I

n taking a scenic drive towards Fallbrook on Reche Road, don’t be surprised if tantalizing scents are wafting in the air near Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens & Nursery. For years Myrtle Creek has been my source for gifts, statuary, and all things green and growing.

I have spent many a day enjoying the unique ambiance enhanced by rusting tractors, a colorful gypsy caravan, and a fragrant swirling of woodsy scents.

This year the Sherman family, who founded the nursery 30 years ago, transformed a portion of the property into an even lovelier destination. The delightfully weathered 1898 barn perched on the edge of the property now features a painting of an angel who keeps watch over the grounds. Guests sit on Café Bloom’s sunshine-bathed terrace and enjoy lunch at pansy-purple linen-draped tables. Tables are also situated indoors where ferns, statuary and a trickling fountain create their own peaceful ambiance.

The café began with beverage service, then meal service two days a week, and now serves food seven

ingredients blended marvelously.

‘Peri-peri,’ a mild citrus chili sauce, generated not only flavor, but a hint of heat. I lingered over this wrap to savor the mélange of flavors.

Cool lemonade – fresh squeezed on site at Café Bloom and served year round in mason jars, is just about the best lemonade I have ever tasted. They have the lemon/sugar ratio down perfect.

“Best Sweet?” That is certain!

Café Bloom’s Myrtle Berry Pie, which took the top award for dessert at the “Farm to Table” event in Fallbrook, is a delicious pie made with organic ingredients. Myrtle berries,

Sprigs of rosemary and an edible pansy garnished the Chicken and Gouda Wrap. Along with the wrap, I was served a piece of fruit and a potato salad, which was bursting with spicy flavor. A sun-dried tomato basil tortilla was rolled with grilled chicken, Gouda cheese, baby arugula, red onions, bacon, and tomatoes. The bacon lent a definite smoky flavor and the other

a type of boysenberry, are grown on site. The pie recipe is “Grandma Sherman’s” and is a fourth-generation family recipe. (The Shermans are descendants of General Sherman of American Civil War fame.)

The pie crust is light and flaky with a hint of cinnamon, and filled with a puree of myrtle berries, raspberries and blueberries. The pie was not too tart with just the right amount of sweet. Because the crust was not intrusive, I could taste more of the berry filling.

On my next visit, I will find a soft spot of grass to enjoy a Café Bloom Picnic Basket lunch. Each basket is stocked for two with sandwiches, side salad, fruit, Myrtle Berry Pie, drinks and a blanket. Guests are welcome to roam any part of the property to find the perfect picnic spot.

Myrtle Creek is a place where the past is present and history is preserved in a loving manner. The Shermans have taken what is part of their own history and created a gift for the community.

Fresh-squeezed lemonade is served year round in mason jars.

Chamber Orchestra Celebrates Latin America on El Día de Los Muertos

Mariachi Champaña Nevín

The California Chamber Orchestra will celebrate the music of Latin America in a concert on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

“It started as a coincidence,” said Dana Zimbric, the orchestra’s Artistic Director and Conductor.

“I had been talking with my friend Jeff Nevin about a project he was working on that brings together a mariachi band, a soprano and an orchestra. When I realized that one of the dates available for our concert was Nov. 1, I realized that it was a perfect way to honor this important day on the Mexican calendar.”

In Mexico and some other Latin American countries, Nov. 1 is celebrated as El Día de Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. It’s a time when families honor and celebrate the lives of deceased relatives and friends.

Nevin’s work, Al Aire Libre: Canciones Para Entrar en Materia, is based on poetry by Alberto Blanco.

Blanco, a Mexican artist and poet, has been popular throughout Mexico and in many other countries. He has taught writing at several universities, including UC Irvine, University of San Diego, and UCSD. Joining the California Chamber Orchestra to perform Nevin’s work are soprano Mónica Ábrego, and members of Mariachi Champaña Nevín, featuring Nevin himself on trumpet. “Jeff’s piece is a tremendous celebration of the rich musical and literary heritage of Mexico,” Zimbric said.

Other pieces on the program

include American composer Aaron Copland’s “Latin American Sketches,” Ocho por Radio by 20th Century Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas, and Manuel María Ponce’s “Intermezzo and Gavota.”

The concert, part of the Temecula Presents Classical Series, is made possible in part by a generous gift from Paradise Chevrolet/Cadillac and Paradise Buick/GMC. Tickets are available at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater’s Ticket Office, by calling 866-653-8696, or by visiting www.CalChamberOrchestra.org. Special family pricing allows two free student tickets with each paid Adult or Senior ticket.

About the California Chamber Orchestra The California Chamber Orchestra is the region’s professional chamber orchestra, made up of working musicians from southwest Riverside County, San Diego, and throughout Southern California. The orchestra performs a season of four concerts as part of the Temecula Presents Classical Series, primarily at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. The orchestra also performs occasionally at other venues throughout the region.

A “chamber orchestra” is distinguished from a “symphony” or “philharmonic” orchestra primarily by its smaller size. Our concerts typically feature between 10 and 25 musicians, depending on the works being performed. This small size

gives our orchestra the flexibility to perform a wide range of music from early Baroque pieces, through the Classical repertoire, and on to music by today’s contemporary composers.

For information about upcoming performances, visit www.CalChamberOrchestra.org.

About Mónica Ábrego Mónica Ábrego, soprano, is one of the most important singers to come out of Northwestern Mexico. Ábrego began her studies at the Baja California Music Conservatory, later studied with Mary McKenzie at San Diego State University before earning her Bachelors Degree at the Manhattan School of Music.

Her wonderfully expressive voice has won her great public acclaim as well as awards from the Mexican National Fund for Art and Culture, the Musical Merit Foundation of San Diego, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Association and the International Rotary Club Award.

Her operatic roles include: Narcissa from La Clementina in Lucca, Italy. Serpina from La Serva Patrona in Tijuana Bach Festival, Norina from Don Pasquale with Opera de Tijuana, Lauretta from Gianni Schicchi, Gilda from Rigoletto, Magda from Rondine, Violetta from Traviatta, Manon from Manon, Musetta and Mimi from Boheme, Olympia from Tales of Hoffmann, Nanetta from Falstaff and Susanna from Le Nozze di Figaro in Bulgaria.

She has participated as a soloist with the following Orchestras: Orchestra of Baja California, La Jolla Symphony, The Israel Tifereth Symphony, Imperial Valley Symphony Orchestra, The Manhattan School of Music Symphony, Colorado Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Aguascalientes Symphonic Orchestra, Chihuahuas Philharmonic Orchestra, Key West Symphony, Delaware Symphony and Symphonic Orchestra of Bulgaria. Her passion for music has also given her the opportunity to perform Mexican Folk and Classical Music throughout Mexico and in the United States in California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York and Florida with Mariachi Champaña Nevin, Mariachi

San Francisco de Guadalajara, and Mariachi Real de Mexico in New York City.

About Jeff Nevin Jeff Nevin, Ph.D., is an awardwinning classical composer whose works have been performed by the San Diego Symphony, the La Jolla Symphony, the California EAR Unit, the Peninsula Symphony, Mariachi Sol de Mexico, the Sol de Mexico Symphony Orchestra, and many other ensembles. Also a skilled performer, he is the founder and artistic director of Mariachi Champaña Nevin, principal trumpet in the La Jolla Symphony, and a frequent substitute with the San Diego Symphony.

Dr. Nevin received his Bachelor of Music degree in music theory and composition from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in

1990. He later studied at Arizona State University, where he received his Master of Music degree in music theory and composition in 1992. He earned his Ph.D. in music theory and composition from the University of California at San Diego in 1998.

Dr. Nevin is currently Professor of Music and Director of Mariachi Activities at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, where he is developing a mariachi curriculum that is the first such program of its kind.

Library patrons have fun acting out scripts from old-time radio programs Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News

The Green Hornet buzzed into action and stung a bad guy during the Sun City Library’s Readers Theater program on Sept. 26. A small group of adults, known as the Radio Readers, gather monthly in the library’s Community Room to act out scripts from old-time radio programs like “The Green Hornet.”

Sun City resident Gary Barton, 72, has been a Radio Reader for a year and loves it. When he learned about the program, he thought it would be great to get involved in since he likes to act. He belongs to the Sun City Players Club, a group that performs plays twice a year.

“I find it’s fun,” Barton said. He especially likes to read parts requiring a foreign accent.

Adult Services Librarian Shirley Wible started the program about three years ago and Barton lauded her for it. “I think Shirley is just one of the best librarians,” he commented.

“When I was establishing programs at the library, I wanted to include some form of Readers Theater,” Wible said. “While doing script research, I stumbled upon old

■

radio script sites and was charmed by the idea of combining storyline with historical media that also included the opportunity to do some sound effects and very funny, dated commercials.”

Wible said there’s a core group of about a dozen readers with other “players” coming and going each month. The program meets the last Friday afternoon of each month and is two hours long. Usually two scripts are read each time.

Wible finds scripts on the Internet through Google searches and on the website www.genericradio.com.

Wible is the program’s sound effects master. She has a vintage suitcase filled with various noise making props. “We use old New Year’s Eve noise makers, bells, packaging bubble wrap, coconut shells, tennis shoes, a gavel and pretty much anything we can get our hands on that makes the appropriate sounds needed. We are always on the lookout for more,” she said.

Sun City residents Tom and Nina Earp have been attending the program almost from its beginning.

Like Barton, they heard about it and were intrigued.

“I wanted to try it,” said Nina, 69.

“It’s a lot of fun,” added Tom, 62,

who finds the program therapeutic for his memory skills. He had a traumatic head injury in 2002 that affected his memory.

“Basically, my long-term memory is good and I can remember back to things I heard on the radio, shortterm memory gives me a bad time,” he explained. “The program helps me recall the things I need to recall over the short term. Also, it helps to build my long-term memory.”

Sun City residents Roberto and Virginia Carrillo have been attending the program for a year.

“We try not to miss it,” said Roberto, 73. “We both enjoy reading and I like the challenge of having to read cold and put some feeling into it.”

Like Barton, Roberto’s a member of the Sun City Players Club and likes acting. He played the role of the Green Hornet’s sidekick Kato with a bit of broken English.

Virginia, 72, said she doesn’t like to talk in front of a group like her husband. “He’s a ham, I’m shy,” she said, laughing. She hopes the program will help her overcome

her shyness.

The Radio Readers have performed twice outside the library at the annual Arts Council Menifee’s Spring Artist Showcase at the Country Market Shopping Center.

Wible wants the group to do more performances outside the library.

The next program on Oct. 24 at 1:30 p.m. will feature scary-themed scripts for Halloween. For more information, contact the library at (951) 679-3534.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Investors and the 1031 Exchange: Sheltering wealth Paul Bandong Staff Writer Smart investors and business owners utilize a 1031 exchange (IRS Code Section 1031) when swapping — selling and replacing — one business or investment asset for another. Normally, the seller is required to pay federal and state capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes on any gains realized in the sale of a property. A 1031 exchange implies an exchange of like-kind property (real and personal property held in the productive use of a business or for investment) and allows the taxpayer to use those otherwise paid dollars towards the purchase of a replacement property.

Investors can shelter the growth of their wealth from taxes by using 1031 exchanges to defer taxes. An investor can then have an opportunity to earn income and appreciation on the capital that is reinvested instead of being lost on taxes.

If the transaction meets IRS requirements, the realized gain is deferred until the replacement property is sold at a later date. Done right, there is no immediate tax due; investors can change the form of their investment without cashing

The 1031 exchange is for investment and business property, not personal.

out or paying tax. The investment can continue to grow tax-deferred and there is no limit to how many times an investor can do a 1031 exchange. The gain from one real estate investment can be rolled over

time and time again, regardless of the profit on each swap. The tax is deferred until a final cash sale.

However, if the 1031 exchange rules are not strictly followed, the outcome can be a disqualification

of the transaction, tax payment due, interest on the tax not paid, penalties and, very likely, an IRS audit.

The 1031 exchange is for investment and business property, not personal. The definition of “like-

kind” is fairly broad; for example, investors can exchange an apartment building for raw land or an office building for a strip mall.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens The drought tolerant garden

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello fellow gardeners! This week I’d like to discuss what we call “drought tolerant” gardening and the plants that we can use to implement this. Water isn’t getting cheaper or more plentiful is it? In previous articles I’ve recommended “Lawn alternatives” — here I am going to start talking about WHAT a “drought tolerant” plant is and some that I recommend.

First — a “drought tolerant” plant is one that can SURVIVE drought — it doesn’t mean it can go WITHOUT water. Surviving and thriving are two different things. Many of the drought tolerant plants we use here in Southern California come from similar areas in the world, such as the Mediterranean area, Australia, South Africa,

Ceanothus oliganthus

Madagascar, to name a few. For THE most drought tolerant plants, one would use those NATIVE or INDIGENOUS to the area — to be discussed in another article.

Obviously, some of the top

drought tolerant plants are cactuses and succulents. I’ve discussed varieties in my previous articles here.

Not ALL of those can take freezing temps however, nor can ALL drought tolerant plants take freez-

ing, this is why it’s so important to know your climate zone and the plants climate zone. Here in Temecula we are Zone 9a, Fallbrook is Zone 10 and Anza, Zone 8b.

to be held for a year and a day to qualify. The replacement property must be equal to or greater than the sold property’s sales price and all the proceeds from the sale must be reinvested into the new property in order to defer 100 percent of the tax triggered at sale. A common misconception is that only the net profit needs to be reinvested.

All net equity and debt retired on the relinquished property must be reinvested into the replacement property or the taxpayer has equity, or what is referred to as mortgage “boot.”

The odds are slim of two parties finding each other with the exact properties that each is looking for; hence, the “Starker” exchange, named for the first IRS tax case that allowed delayed sales through a third party. In this delayed exchange, a middleman holds the seller’s cash from the sale of the property; the middleman then buys the replacement property for the seller using the escrowed cash.

The middleman is usually a Qualified Intermediary (QI) and must follow IRS Code as well as additional rules legislated by the State of California, for example, maintaining a $1 million bond.

The State Franchise Board also requires a QI to withhold an amount equal to 3-1/3 percent of the sales price as contingency in the event the exchange cannot be completed.

This three-party exchange or “swap” is subject to certain time limits. Within 45 days of the close of the sale, the seller must disclose in writing to the intermediary, the property s/he wishes to acquire.

Generally, the investor can designate three properties; s/he must close on all or any one of them.

The list is subject to the “200 percent rule”: the aggregate value of the designated properties cannot exceed two times the value of the relinquished property. Following this designation, the seller must close on the new property within 180 days of the sale of the old property. These two time periods run concurrently.

If there is cash left over from the transaction, the intermediary pays it to the seller at the end of 180 days; such funds are known as “boot” and they are taxed as capital gains. If the seller’s mortgage liability goes down, the IRS may treat that as income the same as cash and the seller may be subject to capital gains tax.

The taxpayer entity who sells must be the taxpayer entity who buys.

There are significant tax advantages to 1031 exchanges, but there are also pitfalls. It is recommended that the first step is to visit with a knowledgeable financial advisor or CPA to understand the tax consequences of selling.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Why your real estate team is so important

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News As exciting as the prospect of buying a new home is, especially if it’s your first one, it can be downright scary — not to mention stressful. This is the largest purchase you’ll probably ever make in your lifetime (except for your new home, which will cost even more). You have years of your future on the line when making the decisions you’ll be making in the process, so it’s critically important to find the right “TEAM” of professionals who know what they are doing and have mastered the entire real estate acquisition process. The right team will not only have your best interest at heart but may actually save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on short-term repairs and other costs and more throughout the life of your ownership.

Let’s take a look at who you want on your team…

CREDIT EXPERT – A Credit Expert should be the first member of your team and should be sought out a year before you think you are ready to buy. A good Credit Expert will start with a consultation after pulling and analyzing your credit profile, with an emphasis on raising your FICO Score.

A FICO Score is the result of a complex propriety algorithm that each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) maintain on virtually every adult living in this country — with very few exceptions. While there is no exact known formula for how each bureau does their own calculation they all follow the same general guidelines that focus on how you pay your bills; although it is much more complicated than that.

A Credit Expert will be able to assess your unique scenario and provide you guidance on the things that you can do to improve your credit score as well as offer assistance in correcting errors using their understanding of the federal laws governing the credit reporting bureaus.

When looking for a reputable Credit Expert it is always best to work with someone who has been

referred after a successful outcome.

Be careful, because as there are many trustworthy Credit Experts around, there are always going to be the unscrupulous companies in this “lightly” regulated industry. A trusted Mortgage Broker typically will have someone to recommend that has helped many clients qualify for a better loan. Remember, the higher your FICO Score, the better your loan and the less you’ll be paying every month.

MORTGAGE BROKER – A Mortgage Broker is a lender that represents many lenders with many different loan programs.

A good Mortgage Broker will be able to review your situation and understand all of the nuances of your scenario and have you prequalified with a lender who will offer you the absolute best loan for which you will qualify.

It’s important to remember that loans are never as simple as a basic set of guidelines that you can just check off. Each lender specializes in providing a loan that others can’t, making them unique. They create their own guidelines to the established federal guidelines, adding their own level of conditions. These are referred to as “overlays.”

The alternative to a Mortgage Broker is working with a Mortgage Banker, which is a single bank with a single set of loan options.

Individual banks are typically more conservative and may not have the lowest interest rates or reduced down payment options.

Mortgage Bankers may also not be participating in all of the government programs available and may not be aware of local down-payment assistance or other programs to promote local home ownership.

R E A LT O R ® – Yo u r REALTOR® is a member of the National, State and local Association of REALTORS® and not just another licensed real estate agent. Unlike a real estate agent, a REALTOR® is bound by a demanding Code of Ethics that protect the consumer. In addition, as a REALTOR®, chances are that they are better educated with the continual education opportunities that are presented at all three levels of membership. REALTORS® are also usually better connected with their peers and able to network and connect with other real estate professionals in either finding the right problem or the solution to a unique problem.

Many believe that a REALTOR® (or real estate agents) earns their money by finding a home or a buyer

for a home they have listed. Yes, it’s true, that’s part of what we do but just a small portion — that’s actually the fun part of the job. To do this part, we need to constantly study the local market as well as state and national trends to see how they affect us locally. We need to know the value of real estate.

Marketing is another critical skill set. It doesn’t matter if a REALTOR® is marketing a new listing to attract buyers or a “Buyers Agent” is marketing to find new buyers to work with — if a REALTOR® can’t market, it doesn’t matter how much they know about the market with the level of competition amongst REALTORS® today.

The meat and potatoes of what a REALTOR® does to earn their keep is not to get a home into escrow but to get it out of escrow.

There are so many different people and personalities involved in every escrow that there have to be 50 or more common reasons as to why a home will fall out of escrow, once a buyer and seller agree on the terms and price.

Think of a great REALTOR® as a great conductor of a Symphony Orchestra, at the helm guiding the many moving pieces to come together, exactly when they are

supposed to. This is where the REALTOR® earns their money and their reputation for getting the job done.

HOME INSPECTOR – Every home in escrow should be independently inspected by a home inspector who has no motivation other than to tell you what they see right and wrong with the home.

No one wants to move in to find a host of issues that could have been avoided altogether.

When the thought crosses your mind and you are now “thinking” about buying a new home, start by consulting with a few experts early in the process. You will find it time well spent.

Real Estate / Home & Garden DROUGHT from page B-1 recommendation of mine. Why water the fence anyway? Typical sprinklers lost up to 40 percent of the water to evaporation — ever notice that “mist” going up into the air when most sprinklers are running?

Ground cover — whether it’s rocks (gravel) or shredded bark helps keep moisture in the soil — another top recommendation of mine.

Also, if you have soil that is very quick draining (unless you’re planting succulents) I recommend adding some good compost into the soil always. It actually is also good for succulents; just don’t want it to hold water too long for them, so you’ll water less frequently. Also some “sharp” or builders sand added to the soil is helpful for many succulents that require good drainage.

In addition to the plants I recommend using, typically from S. Africa, Australia, natives to the southwestern United States and Mediterranean climates, I like to utilize boulders in the landscape. Let’s face it, not much is more drought tolerant than a rock is it? Not only that, but if placed properly, and in “groups” they add much to the overall look of the landscape, so I highly recommend adding some small or large boulders into your drought tolerant landscape.

Many plants that may be “borderline” in your climate zone, may be able to take the cold IF they’re places on the southern side of a boulder, as they will give off heat, just enough, through the night, to make the difference between surviving and not for those plants.

I’m going to go over various types of plants here, they all serve different purposes in the landscape so unless you want to hire a professional. The choice is up to you to decide how to arrange them in your landscape.

TREES - Australian Willow – Gejeria parviflora – this is a fairly large evergreen “weeping” type tree, similar to California Pepper but not as messy and invasive.

Crape Myrtle – Lagerstroemia indica – smaller tree, rarely above 20’, great in heat, beautiful flowers (purple, red, magenta, hot pink, light pink, or white) in summer and fall color.

Strawberry Tree – Arbutus ‘Marina’ – beautiful evergreen medium sized. There is also a smaller ver-

sion called Arbutus Unedo which is perfect for a smaller yard.

Chinese Pistache – Pistacia chinensis – deciduous, slow growing, medium to large eventually, incredible fall color, one of the best in our area.

Mulga – Acacia aneura – a nice smaller sized silvery gray evergreen tree good for patio.

SHRUBS - Manzanita – many varieties – ‘Howard McMinn’ is a good one to try.

Mexican Bush Sage – Salvia leucanthia – great color and shape, low maintenance and hummingbirds love it.

Texas Sage – Leucophylum frutescens compacta – grey leaves and light purple flowers. Also varities “Green Cloud” and “White Cloud” are great choices, Green Cloud has greener leaves, White Cloud has white flowers and very light grey leaves, giving it the appearance of a white cloud.

Butterfly Bush – Buddleia – MANY sizes and colors to choose from – an absolute favorite of butterflies!

Autumn Sage – Salvia greggii – dark green foliage, fantastic red blooms, only about 2-foot high.

Lavender – lavandula species - Many varieties to choose from, I prefer “French”, “Grosso” and “Spanish.”

Nerium Oleander - yes, it’s common, but it’s a great plant - many colors and sizes to choose from, and very low maintenance! Try “Petite Salmon”, it’s a nice size and I like the color, kind of peachy.

Ceanothus - also known as “California Lilac” - this is a native plant, so you must be sure to never over water these or they will die. Needs some water until established. As with all native plants, they need little water in summer, when they typically go into their “dormant” mode, winter, if we have little rain again, is when they like to receive water. Many sizes and varieties to choose from.

GROUNDCOVER - Myoporum parvifolium - a nice low growing evergreen plant that needs little water, can eventually get a little woody, but very low maintenance other than maybe a bi-monthly trimming around the edges.

Ceanothus ‘Carmel Creeper’ - see Ceanothus above, this is a very low

growing one, you can see it thriving around the Temecula Library.

Rosmarinus officinalis prostratus - Dwarf Rosemary - great evergreen plant, I’m sure you know what it is, bees love it when its flowering, and of course, it’s great in cooking, and lovely scent year round.

Verbena peruviana - Peruvian Verbena - fast spreading with colorful flowers, most of the Verbenas available are great.

Prostrate Junipers - several varieties out there, all good, check variety and zone.

SUCCULENTS - All succulents store water in their leaves, all cactus ARE succulents, but not all succulents are cactus of course. Your climate zone is very important when purchasing succulents. If you’re toward the coast, in Zone 10, you can grow just about any of them. Over here in the Temecula/Murrieta area, we’re borderline zone 9 and sometimes even 8, so many succulents will not take several nights below freezing - echeverias come to mind.

Agaves are usually quite hardy and will thrive almost anywhere, with the exception of A. attenuate aka “Foxtail Agave,” which does not thrive in Zone 8 or 9, unless protected and grown in semi-shade.

Aloe “Blue Elf”

So many great succulents out there, why waste time on those that don’t like your area?

Rock Purslane – Calandrina grandiflora – fantastic succulent with tall spikes of bright magenta flowers all summer long, loves the heat.

Sempervivums can take frost, so if you find any of these, feel free to purchase and plant - just make sure they don’t get waterlogged.

Sedums - many to choose from - from low growing mats such as Sedum spurium “Tricolor” to larger, fall flowering S. spectibilis “Autumn Joy,” many are great ground covers.

Yuccas - indigenous to our area - beautiful plants in the landscape.

Yucca filamentosa, Yucca flaccida and Yucca gloriosa all take frost and are real focal points in any landscape.

EVERYTHING ELSE – Too much to cover here, but clumping grasses are a favorite, varieties I recommend would be: Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Dwarf Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Yakushima’), Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca), Dwarf Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) and New Zealand Flax (Phormium tenax).

Lambs Ears – Stachys lanata or byzantine, both great, large grey

fuzzy leaves, low growing, makes a great ground cover if you let it spread also.

Kangaroo Paws (Anigazanthos flavidus) and Gaura lindheimeri, both great flowering plants.

Penstemons - beautiful flowering plants, come in MANY colors and sizes, the native ones are more drought tolerant than the hybrids so check to make sure which one you’re buying.

Salvias - we have native varieties and lots of choices in hybrids, all shapes, colors and sizes, they also attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.

Remember to adjust your watering schedule according to the weather, if you don’t have a “Smart water controller” also. For those reading my article here for the first time, I want to let you know that the water districts are offering rebates from $2 a square foot to remove lawn and put in drought tolerant landscape in its place. Have fun in the garden and as always I am available for consultations and design work my website is: www.uniquelandscapes.net

New club volleyball program digs its way into the Valley

At a recent Forza1 clinic, players were given expert advice on their game play. Camp instructor, Donald Suxho is seen here setting Savannah Sherbourne against Bailey Pierson.

Dana Burkholder, seen here working out with the USA National team this past spring, is bringing a new Ernie Tyler Photography club called Forza1 to the area for local volleyball players.

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor Forza1 is a new volleyball club located in Temecula that is opening up to provide opportunities for everyone to play and learn the game of volleyball. Spearheaded

by Dana Burkholder, who played at the University of Arizona, and was a two-time First-Team AllAmerican setter, Forza1 is quickly gaining momentum. Burkholder is known throughout the country as one of the top players from her era because of her skill and talent, but also because of the way she played and the strength and will power that

she exuded on the court.

“I was lucky to have an amazing career at Arizona. I was surrounded by great coaches and hard working teammates. I think my leadership definitely played a part in our rise to the Final Four in 2001, but it was the strength of our team that helped us take Arizona to its best finish in school history,” exclaims Burkholder.

With her passionate demeanor on the court, it won’t take long to notice Burkholder right away in the gym. Burkholder has built a strong staff around her, including the very talented Christina Pulver who has been a key factor in the Valley

when it comes to youth volleyball for a few years now. Pulver is now directing their local middle school league "Forza For All" with 33 total teams participating for not only the girls in the Valley, but the boys as well. Together, Forza1 plans to “build strength” in young players on and off the court.

Burkholder can relate to the youth on so many levels, she says, “As a former student-athlete at the highest level, I know what it takes to succeed. I want to help local players and teams reach their potential and the only way to do that is to build their strength, demand it every day, and create a culture

Donald Suxho, Men’s Olympic Team Setter, came out to help at a free clinic and work with Forza1 players over this past weekend. Courtesy photo

where everyone encourages it in each other. I believe that this simple concept will translate to every player in our gym and set the tone for what is expected at Forza1.”

Forza1 is holding their club

tryouts for the 2014-2015 season October 2-14, 2014. Players of all levels ages 7-18 can register to try out and play. To learn more about Forza1, visit their website at www.forza1volleyball.com.

Whiffle ball tournament helps raise funds for local family JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor

Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles where he will undergo open heart surgery just days after delivery.

“The family will be experiencing many difficulties while they adjust to their temporary home away from home at Children’s Hospital, so we wanted to do something to help them in their time of need,” says Bob Hess, who helped organize the event.

All contributions raised from this fundraiser go directly to the Fien family to help offset the many

The Wolfpack (8-3) will now prepare for their battle against

expenses associated with Lawson’s care.

“The Temecula Valley community really rallied together to make this event a huge success,” added Hess, “Fun was had by all and each donation is greatly appreciated.

Please continue to help us as we show our ‘Love For Lawson.’

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor Week one is in the books and with four weeks left in league action, the top spot three spots are still up for grabs, but the early fight for positioning has some heads turning in the local leagues--that is for sure.

In the Southwestern League, Vista Murrieta ran away with a win, holding Great Oak to only one score on the night, Chaparral stopped the visiting Golden Bears in their tracks and Murrieta Valley and Murrieta Mesa had an all-out battle which sent Murrieta Mesa home losing by

only a field goal after both teams put an almost combined total of one hundred points on the board.

In the Sunbelt League, Temescal Canyon, who only had one win on the season so far, shocked everyone in the valley, taking out the undefeated Perris Panthers in a huge upset, leaving Heritage as the lone undefeated team in the valley after they picked up their first win of league edging out Elsinore by a touchdown. Paloma Valley also picked up their first league win, keeping Lakeside scoreless on the night.

Temescal Canyon, who saw senior Michael Erim run for 177 yards and score three touchdowns for the now 2-4 Titans will spend the week preparing for their next challenge against Lakeside. The Lancers come into the Sunbelt challenge with a 1-5 record after being knocked off by Paloma Valley 35-0.

Warriors down Rough Riders 56-0 in Homecoming game

By Paul Bandong

Hamilton (3-3) - 53 California School for the Deaf (0-5) – 6 The California School for the Deaf Cubs were ripped apart 53-6 in last Thursday›s non-league challenge with the visiting Hamilton Bobcats.

The Bobcats (3-3) will now prepare for their challenge against Rancho Christian who are coming into the South Valley challenge with a 4-2 record. Game time is 7 p.m.

It was Calvary Murrieta’s Homecoming game and the Warriors did not disappoint their home crowd, despite playing the game against the California Military Institute (CMI) Rough Riders at Lakeside High School. The Warriors opened up a 49-0 lead by halftime and won the game 56-0.

The Rough Riders roster shows a very young team with almost half being freshmen and sophomores.

“Our biggest challenge is continuity,” said CMI head coach Scott McRitchie, “We only have four guys who were even on the roster last year; only two have ever started in a game. We are a very young team with hard workers who get better every game. We have decent team speed, but we’re undersized.”

QB Jefferson Brown and running back Victor Aragon carried the mail most of the night for the Rough Riders, but were unable to find big holes in the swarming warrior defense.

With an offensive line that averages 280 pounds, the Warriors were able to dominate the line of scrimmage as well as provide protection for sophomore QB Adam Schwab

(8-for-10, 215 yards and 3 TDs).

Calvary Murrieta was able to put together a number of impressive drives.

Schwab’s 8-yard pass to Micah Roth capped a seven-play 64-yard drive that took only 1:16 off the opening clock. Four minutes later, Schwab carried the ball over himself from eight yards out to complete a four-play 54-yard drive.

Their third possession took only three plays with Schwab hitting Roth on a 56-yard bomb for their third score. Roth had 116 yards receiving on the night.

A ninety-yard catch/run play

by Roth was negated by a holding penalty. Three plays later, Roth caught a 46-yard pass to set up another score – a 26-yard pass to Tate Tyler, to put the Warriors up 28-0 in the first quarter.

The second quarter saw a steady diet of Billy Dedich who carried ten consecutive plays, scoring three times -- once on an 8-yard run to cap off a four-play 67-yard drive; again on a 16-yard off-tackle play on a five-play 58-yard drive; and finally an interception by Brent Smith just before the end of the half, set up a 13-yard sweep for Dedich’s third score. Dedich rushed

for 85 yards.

Noah Korinek also had fifty yards rushing and a TD. On the defensive side, Kotinek had ten tackles; Paul Brown had nine.

“We had six freshmen starting last year,” said Calvary Murrieta head coach Brad Schwab, “They now have a year of varsity experience. We are a very well-rounded team with a solid running game and a good passing game.”

Halftime highlights included floats and the crowning of the Homecoming King Kevin Curley and Queen Tiffany Escorcia.

Also crowned as an Honorary Queen was Ellie Vecchione who was born as a drug-addicted baby and has undergone 38 surgeries throughout her young life at Children’s Hospital Orange County (CHOC). “Team Ellie” will be walking in the 24th Annual CHOC Walk in the Park at the Disneyland Resort to help support the care, services, education and research CHOC provides the children of the community.

Second half rally pushes Pumas past Temecula Valley 34-21 JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor The first week of league games hit the valley with some authority last week and Chaparral High School, which had come in to the game on a four-game losing streak, shocked the Temecula Valley Golden Bears during their Homecoming game at Puma Stadium on Friday night.

The Puma’s jumped out to an early lead as they capitalized on their first drive of the game scoring on a 37-yard run by Austin Smith.

Temecula Valley would then go 3 and out on their first series giving Chaparral a chance to quickly go up by two scores, but a Chris Hall fumble would let the Bears right back in the game.

Chris, who is used to being on the defensive side of the ball, was playing in his first game since transferring from Georgia. Hall took over for junior QB Austin Reza, who left last week’s game against Mission Viejo early in the first quarter with what was diagnosed as a broken foot after the game.

The Bears would capitalize on their next possession when a gutsy call on a fourth and five play would have Fisher go to the air where he would find senior wide out Derrin Hooks, for a first down on an 11yard catch. The catch allowed for sophomore Olita Palmer to run the ball in the end zone from seven yards out, tying the game on a successful PAT attempt by Spencer Stone going into the 2nd quarter.

Palmer picked up where he left off running the ball to the Puma’s 37-yard line, when an air assault took place by Austin Fisher who ended up connecting with Zack Simon on a 3rd down conversion of their own, placing the Bears inside the red zone. An illegal block in the back by Temecula Valley would then push them back to the 23-yard line, but Fisher would prevail by going to the air and throwing to senior Griffin Doran, who would get tackled on the 2-yard line.

Joshua Cortez would take the very next hand off and run the ball in for the score, where another successful Stone PAT would make the score, 14 -7.

Chaparral made a charge but an interception would end the rally.

As the first half wound down, the Bears marched down the field and got within 19 yards of the end zone and would look to Spencer Stone to drill a 26-yard field goal, but the kick would go a bit right and the Bears would end up going into halftime maintaining their 14-7 lead.

Halftime was a huge spectacle for

Chaparral with the Homecoming court being driven into the stadium in back of some Jeeps as Chandler Kerr and Puma Kicker Jared Wolf would walk away with Homecoming King and Queen titles, but it would ultimately be the fireworks show that got both crowds excited for some second half football.

As the third quarter got underway, penalties on both sides of the ball discouraged the home crowd and when the Bears were able to take advantage and put the ball in flight, Fisher would connect on his only

passing touchdown of the night to senior Dominique Maiden and the Bears visiting crowd exploded trying to silence Chaparral, but the Puma’s would answer back right away.

Senior RB, William Riley, kickstarted the Puma offense with a couple of strong runs, then on the Bears 37-yard line, Chaparral ran a reverse to Lloyd Hightower who took the ball 63 yards down the sideline for the touchdown leading to a 21-14 score. Puma Stadium erupted behind DJ Swift who fired the crowd back up with his fist

pumping bass tracks, helping put the pressure on the Bears who knew Chaparral had a different bounce to their step suddenly.

The Pumas did not look tired like they have the past four weeks in the second half, and after a three and out and a punt by Temecula Valley, Chaparral got back in the game big time as William Riley rushed for his first TD of the night, tying the score at 21, sending Puma Stadium into another uproar.

It seemed to go downhill for the visiting Golden Bears after Chaparral would go on to score

one more time to finish off the Bears when Hall found tight end Alex Argent for a 30-yard reception, giving Riley yet another opportunity to score for the Pumas as he capitalized on running in his third TD of the night with just under 3 minutes to go in the game.

“I knew my team was behind me with this start,” says Hall, who added, “with Austin out, it was no secret that I was going to have to step up, and I know I have to work on some things like my mechanics and fundamentals, but our goal was to go 100 percent every down and I feel like we did.”

Time would run out on the Bears, giving the Pumas their first league win, as well as their first win since defeating Victorville in week one.

"I feel bad for my boys. Chaparral is a big team and we knew they would be without some of their stronger players on the field this week. We have been watching the tapes, but when you don›t know who is going to come out, you just have to stick to your game plan and give it your best shot. We were one play away from this game going a different way and going into next week, we will regroup and focus our attention on the task at hand, which is finding a way to beat Murrieta Mesa,” said Golden Bears Head Coach, Rick Mey. The Pumas now possess a 2-4 record and put it on the line next when they travel to Great Oak for a Southwestern battle on Friday, October 17. Chaparral will play a Wolfpack squad coming off a 42-7 league loss to Vista Murrieta. The Wolfpack record now stands at 4-2.

"We just have to play as aggressive as we did tonight against Great Oak," said Chaparral head coach, Ryan Tukua. "We still have some key players out, some that need to be cleared after coming back from injuries and we are going to have to battle for every yard. We know that, but the win was much needed against Temecula Valley, who have been playing great football for Rick. So I expect good things for them and if we can stay healthy, I expect great things for us."

Coming up next, the Golden Bears play the Murrieta Mesa Rams in their next Southwestern League battle, on Friday, October 17. Temecula Valley will attempt to advance on its now 4-2 season record. The Rams enter the battle with a 4-2 record of their own after their 50-47 league loss to Murrieta Valley this past Friday. Game times are at 7 p.m.

Impressive battle of the Murrietas sends Mesa home with a crushing overtime defeat Erik Thompson Special to the Valley News In the Southwestern League opener for both teams Murrieta Valley High School rode junior running back Quincy Wimbish’s back to an exhilarating 50-47 overtime victory over Murrieta Mesa High School to the delight of the Nighthawk homecoming crowd.

The back-and-forth game featured 32 explosive plays; defined as runs of 10 yards or more, passes of 20 yards or more, and returns of 30 yards or more. The teams were tied 6 times including the end of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. Both teams also racked up nearly 1,200 offensive yards in the game (580 for Mesa and 619 for Murrieta Valley.)

The shootout showcased two of the finest running back performances in recent memory. Wimbish finished with 313 offensive yards; 252 yards rushing on 40 carries (6.3 yards average/carry) and four touchdowns with 61 receiving yards on 3 receptions for the Hawks. His touchdowns were from 1, 20, 35, and 25 yards out. The Rams junior running back McKinley Ross finished with 267 offensive yards; 263 yards rushing on 24 carries (11 yards average/carry) with six touchdowns and 1 catch for 4 yards. Ross’ touchdowns were on runs of 62, 4, 15, 15, 22, and 27 yards out. Both backs broke numerous tackles throughout the evening.

Ross attended and played for MV his freshman year then transferred to Mesa before his sophomore year.

The passing game included two quarterbacks that surpassed 1,200 yards passing in their 6th game this year, and a 9-catch, 200 yard, 1 touchdown performance by Murrieta Valley’s 6’4” senior receiver and Duke University commit Aaron Young. MV’s senior quarterback Maxwell Maitland leads the Southwestern League with 1,317 passing yards and Murrieta Mesa’s junior quarterback Peyton Uhl is third in the league with 1,215 yards. Maitland’s impressive stat line for the game was 19 of 31 for 357 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 interception. Uhl’s stat line was 22 of 31 for 227 yards, no TD’s and his first pick of the year. Maitland also hit senior wide receiver Jacob Lopez for a 48-yard

Despite the overtime loss, Murrieta Mesa’s junior running back, McKinley Ross, finished with 267 offensive yards and six touchdowns.

scoring strike.

In a game that had 29 scoring plays, only six players scored.

The kickers, both number 27 for their respected teams were the other two scorers. Murrieta Valley’s sophomore kicker Noah Lopez was perfect with his scoring kicks going 6 for 6 on his PAT tries and 3 for 3 with his field goals. They were from 27, 28, and 25 yards away.

Mesa’s junior kicker and punter Mateo Thompson was 5 for 5 on his PATs. The first touchdown had a high snap on the PAT try and senior Joseph Pinkava, the Rams holder, made an unsuccessful run attempt to his right for the conversion. Thompson was 2 for 3 on his field goals. His makes were from 27 and 35 yards away. His tear-jerking miss was from 47 yards out.

The heartbreaking loss for Murrieta Mesa was even more painful when they found out their leading

receiver, junior wide receiver and cornerback Austen Salcedo, who was injured on the first series of the game, will miss several weeks due to a fractured fibula in his leg.

They also lost senior defensive end and long snapper Collin Ray to an upper body injury. But on encouraging notes for the Rams, junior defensive back Maxwell Scott made his varsity debut and senior wide receiver, safety and Captain, Bryan Phan saw his first varsity action since a week zero injury in August against Indian Springs.

With the score tied at 44 in overtime, the home team won the coin flip and wisely elected to defend first from their own 25-yard line.

The Nighthawks held the Rams to eight yards on three plays. Mesa settled on a 35-yard field goal by Thompson and a 47-44 lead, but the Nighthawks would also get the ball at the 25-yard line.

The next play was a spectacular 25 game winning scamper by Wimbish. The ‘redzone’ erupted and it looked like magma was flowing out of the stands onto the field as the MV faithful rushed the field to partake in the unbelievable 50-47 win.

Murrieta Mesa’s offensive players of the game were Ross and junior left tackle Nathan Smith.

Smith laid the foundation for the prolific offensive output. Smith had numerous plays where he drove his defender well away from the play as well as plays that ended with his defender on his back.

The Ram’s defensive player of the game was Tommy McGraw and the special teams’ player of the game was Irvin Alfaro. McGraw had several influential plays including two pass deflections, a forced fumble, nine tackles and in a game filled with dozens of missed tack-

les he had zero. Alfaro made good field decisions on his five returns, and broke one kickoff return for 54 yards and had almost 100 return yards combined.

Murrieta Valley (3-3, 1-0) will host Vista Murrieta, on Friday, October 17. The Broncos won Friday night against Great Oak High School, 42-7 and bring a 4-2 record and 1-0 in league.

Murrieta Mesa, (4-2, 0-1) will travel to Chaparral High to challenge Temecula Valley Golden Bears in Temecula on Friday October 17. The Bears are having their football field/stadium renovated and are playing their games at Great Oak and Chaparral high schools this year. The Bears are also 4-2 and 0-1 in league. They lost to Chaparral 35-21 on Friday October 10. Game times are at 7 p.m.

Temecula Valley girls tennis team serves up a Bronco loss The Girls Varsity Tennis team from Temecula Valley High School has moved into second place in league, right behind Murrieta Valley High School, after beating the Vista Murrieta Broncos last week, 11-7.

The doubles team of Clarissa Requiestas and Nicole Colica, who are 12-3 overall, secured the win for the Golden Bears with their game play.

“It was great day for us Clarissa and Nicole really helped us capture the overall win by winning two matches,” said head coach Alison Guzman.

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers were unable to score against the tough Golden State Warriors defense, losing the pre-season game Ric Stallworth photo 116-75.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer ONTARIO - The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Golden State Warriors at the Citizens Bank Arena in Ontario, October 13, 2014 and treated the visitors with great hospitality in a 116-75 blowout loss. This is one of their few Inland Empire appearances.

The Lakers have been together two weeks and are still in training camp mode and have been pushing very hard. Five players missed the game with injuries: Nick Young, Jeremy Lin, Xavier Henry, Jordan Clarkson, and Ryan Kelly. Steve Nash played just the first quarter.

The tough practice regimen may have taken its toll on Laker legs and transition defense as the Warriors

were able to run and score almost at will. The Lakers were 0-for-3 from beyond the arc while the Warriors went 13-for-33 (39.4 percent) for 39 points. The Lakers were 12for-43 (27.9 percent) overall on the night. Kobe was 3-for-13, but had four steals. Stephen Curry led all scorers with 25 points.

The Lakers face the unbeaten Utah Jazz at Staples Center on Sunday, Oct. 19. On Tuesday, Oct. 21 they play the Phoenix Suns at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The Lakers will return to Ontario on Wed., Oct. 22 to host the Portland Trailblazers.

The Lakers will open the regular season Tues., Oct. 28, at the Staples Center against Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets.

potentially deadly enterovirus D68, which left a child hospitalized.

“We just received the information, so there aren’t a lot of details,’’ county Department of Public Health Infectious Diseases Specialist Barbara Cole said. “A child under 12 years old was treated at a hospital. We’re trying to ascertain that child’s status.’’

Last week, the county confirmed its first enterovirus D68 infection this year.

“The illness has affected many portions of the country and state, including Southern California, so its arrival in Riverside County is not a surprise,’’ said Public Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser.

The teenager was responding to treatment and recovering at home, Kaiser said.

According to Cole, in the last decade, there have been no documented enterovirus cases in the county.

The California Department of Public Health reported 32 confirmed infections statewide, with the highest number -- eight -- in San Diego County.

According to state health officials, the number of patients testing positive for respiratory illness is within the normal range for this time of year.

Enterovirus is marked by acute respiratory distress and is spread as a result of contact with the germs of an infected person, including through sneezing, coughing and touching, health officials said.

Parents were advised to be alert to signs of a child having difficulty catching his or her breath in severe cases. Mild symptoms can include coughing, sneezing and a runny nose, similar to the flu. Asthmatics are at greatest risk.

A four-year-old boy from Hamilton, New Jersey, died Sept. 25 from complications related to enterovi-

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus was first identified in California in 1962.

Education

Young leaders shaped at gathering of Temecula-area middle schools “It’s about helping your school and helping yourself become a better leader,” she said. “It also unites the community. Here we’re not like separate schools. We’re one Temecula.”

Pion flashed a broad smile and said her approach toward leadership is to jump in where needed and delegate when necessary.

“I’m super-active,” she said. “You have to look for the best in everyone.

You have to try new things. You have to be willing. You have to want to make your school a better place.”

high school campus and the dizzying array of programs, events and interaction that goes on within those walls.

“This was really worth our time,” Gabler said.

Julia Pion, a Great Oak junior and ASB leader, attended two of the leadership conferences while she was in middle school. Decked out in a splashy Hawaiian shirt and dashing from one organizational task to another, Pion summed up the recent conference from her high school vantage point.

Temecula Middle School leadership ambassadors - one of eight middle schools attending the conference held at Great Oak.

Tim O’Leary Valley News staff Much like baseball and life, newspaper coverage is often dictated by the pitch. This prospective source pitched an upcoming gathering of about 350 youths and adults as “a powerful event for our community.”

At first, though, any power there seemed unfocused amid the disorder and din of 340 middle and high school students gathered in the gym at Great Oak High School. The power seemed to emerge from the shadows later as the student leaders from both academic levels honed the skills they will take back to their campuses and city.

“I just see so many things coming from it,” Don Skaggs, activities director at Great Oak, said in defense of his story pitch. “You’re energizing kids to make good decisions and get out of their comfort zone. We’re getting them to reach out and make a difference. There’s no doubt that makes an impact on our community.”

That power was noted by many participants as the four-hour leadership conference wound down on Oct. 8. The event is held annually under the coordination of Great Oak and Chaparral staff and administrators.

“I think this is a unique event because it’s all student-led,” said Sara Twiss, a Vail Ranch Middle School social studies teacher and Associated Student Body advisor. “They see other students showing them how they can be leaders at their schools and in the community.”

The event was tucked into a corner of the sprawling Great Oak campus, at times filling sections of the gym, quad and auditorium of the 3,640-student campus that nearly flanks the Pechanga Indian Reservation.

The conference attracted about 280 middle schools students, each of whom paid $10 and netted a commemorative t-shirt and lunch that featured pizza, Subway sandwiches

or both. Most of the middle school participants are active with ASB groups at their campuses.

The event drew upon the direction and guidance of about 60 high school students who are enrolled in ASB or leadership programs. About 225 Great Oak students are participating in ASB programs this year.

ASB is a curricular or extracurricular activity for many school systems throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Its activities include student government, democratic practices, community service and planning and raising money for school-wide activities.

Aspects of the program also enable students to share their ideas and interests with teachers, school principals and other involved individuals or groups.

Participation at the event was rounded out by Skaggs, Twiss and a smattering of other teachers from through the 28,509-student Temecula Valley Unified School District.

District buses ferried students from five of Temecula’s six middle schools to and from the event.

The conference didn’t seem to make much of a splash among Great Oak students. The older students cast dismissive glances at their middle school counterparts as they changed classes like swarms of fish and then settled into the quad for lunch. ROTC students marched and drilled across their usual campus landscape. A nearby collapsible Marine Corps booth shielded students from the waning summer sun.

The conference also brought a distant visitor to the Southwest Riverside County school district that blankets 213 square miles and stretches from French Valley to the San Diego County border and the western edge of Temecula’s city limits.

A representative from the 22,000-student Hacienda La Puente Unified School district watched with

keen interest. That district, which has four comprehensive high schools, serves La Puente, the City of Industry and a pair of unincorporated areas.

That representative, who is active with his district’s version of ASB, said he attended to get ideas about hosting such a conference for students who are on the cusp of entering high school.

The Great Oak event, which featured a Hawaiian theme this year, was divided into 12 segments in which the middle school students and their older counterparts were gathered together or split into smaller groups.

The 20-minute pep rally portion was a deafening clatter of chants and cheers, games and gab. Three rotation sessions followed that focused on school involvement options and other topics.

Lunch was followed by three segments ranging from 10 to 15 minutes each that focused on communication, kindness and taking positive risks.

Students conducted a short “debrief” session and then closed by joining in circles that alternated between their existing classmates and those students they had just met.

Many students from both levels – the emerging leaders and their high school mentors – applauded the experience and said it will benefit them in the days, months and years to come.

Payton Sullivan, an eighth-grader and president of the ASB group at Vail Ranch Middle School, said she gained insights into how to shepherd a large-scale event that appeals to a broad range of student interests. She also noted the need to approach campus events and other activities from different angles in order to gain the best outcome.

Her classmate and co-president, Mackenzie Gabler said the event opened her eyes to the vastness of a

New Toyota President GM: “New Ownership. New Attitude” “Come experience the difference”

Tom Rudnai, President/GM of the new Temecula Valley Toyota dealership stands in front of the fascia of Chauncy Miller photo the construction project that will expand the showroom by 2,000 square feet.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer Amidst construction fencing, heavy equipment and large holes lined with rebar awaiting cement pours, the President and General Manager of the new Temecula Valley Toyota, Tom Rudnai, was picking up stray pieces of paper and trash as he walked from the photo shoot on the lot to his office. “I have to lead by example,” Rudnai said.

“It’s a cultural thing that applies from the top down.”

Rudnai was referring to the “TV Way,” a culture-enhancing campaign printed on every employee’s badge that includes “our DNA — 20 topics that we discuss with our employees throughout the year.”

Day one begins with their mission statement; other topics include

teamwork and the “ten-foot rule,” which Rudnai describes as “everything within ten feet of you, you own. So that means straightening chairs, picking up trash, etc. It’s about pride of ownership and doing all the little things well.”

Rudnai, 50, was born in Toronto, Canada and came to California in 1981 as a pre-med biology student at San Diego State; his goal at the time was to be a marine biologist.

He discovered were no jobs and no money in that field, so he became a business major. Shortly thereafter, at the age of 20, he took a job as a salesperson at Pacific Nissan in San Diego. He started making good money and became enamored with the industry. Rudnai moved to Los Angeles and worked his way up the ranks at Toyota of Cerritos.

“There were a lot of ‘street smart’

people, but not a lot that had ‘book smarts’,” Rudnai said. “Ethics and integrity were not a big part of the industry. I had learned from my dad ‘You only have one name, don’t ruin it’ and so that’s how I operated.”

In July of 1992, Rudnai was hired by the Penske Automotive Group; he managed used car sales, became the general manager of the Lexus division, then eventually the president of Longo Toyota/Scion/ Lexus. Longo Toyota became the largest Toyota dealership in the world; at one point, he managed 1,000 employees.

Rudnai left there to pursue this ownership opportunity in Temecula. “The opportunity was just right: our three boys were off to college, I partnered with RJ Romero of Oremor Automotive Group (they

served together on the Board of the Toyota Dealership Group) and the market has a lot of opportunity to grow.” He took over this past July with the motto “New Ownership.

New Attitude. Come experience the difference.”

“My wife, Karen, and I love this area! The people are very friendly.”

The two have three boys: Spencer, 20, is at the University of Arizona; twins Cole and Hunter, 19, are at the University of Indiana and Loyola New Orleans, respectively.

He and Karen both enjoy golf and have a home in Bear Creek.

Rudnai enjoys sports of all types and used to coach his kids’ sports teams. As a youth in 1984, although not on the team, he swam with the Canadian Olympic Team. He enjoys working out, ice hockey and basketball; he has trained for and competed in triathlons. There is now a softball team at the dealership. Family is important and they enjoy the outdoors and going out (dinners, concerts, etc.).

Involvement in the community is also important to Rudnai, especially organizations involved with kids, cancer and the homeless. “It was a very rewarding thing for our kids to be involved with different organizations giving out turkeys at Thanksgiving and gifts at Christmas to those in need.”

“It’s all about community, longterm relationship, taking care of the customer,” Rudnai said. “At Penske, I learned that if you take care of your customers and your employees, the business will take care of itself.” Among Rudnai’s first steps was meeting one-on-one with each employee; he also made a concerted effort to touch bases with all the customers who had posted negative reviews on various sites (even though the postings happened before he took over) to see what he could do to rectify their situations or improve the current processes.

“Even though we are a business with a new name and new ownership, we unfortunately inherit the reviews on these sites but these are opportunities to make lifelong customers.”

As a result of the employee meetings, he tripled the inventory, instituted interactive interdepartmental meetings, started monthly employee barbeques and recogni-

tion programs, and put up suggestion boxes. “It’s about changing the culture and the mindset,” Rudnai said. “Our team members are an integral part of our success; we’re giving them what they need to be successful. We’re not going to get a second chance to make a first impression. If we have happy, satisfied, engaged team members, then we will have happy, satisfied, engaged guests.” Rudnai personally signs each letter (and includes his business card with email and phone) to every customer who purchases a car at the dealership, currently around 200 each month.

Since July, Temecula Valley Toyota has been ranked as the fastest growing Toyota dealership in Southern California for three months in a row. But it’s not just about sales, Rudnai wants to be the best in every category: Customer Service, Parts, Service, etc. He has already changed the “appointment only” service department to accommodate those driving in; he is revamping the service department waiting areas to enhance the customer experience.

“Servicing a guest’s car is extremely important. A new car owner will bring their car in for service eight - 10 times in four years. That needs to be a great experience, fair with price and respectful of time.

We have Toyota-certified technicians working with state-of-the-art equipment to get the job done right.

We also provide the amenities: free Wi-Fi, donuts, coffee, comfortable waiting area.”

“Our biggest challenge will be space,” Rudnai said, “and that will be a good problem to have.”

The current construction project is expanding the showroom by 2,000 square feet and will feature energyefficient LED lighting. It will be complete in November. “Our other challenge is personnel — we want to hire the best.”

“Little things make a big difference,” Rudnai said. “Being on the same page — from the top down — creates consistency and consistency builds trust. Good relationships are built on trust, and we want to build good relationships in this community. We’re happy to be here.”

Temecula Valley Toyota is located at 26631 Ynez Rd.; (951) 694-0575.

Pechanga staffs a kiosk at Promenade mall in Temecula to hire employees Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Pechanga Resort & Casino’s human resources department always has jobs to fill. In an effort to reduce the number of job openings, and keep the casino fully staffed, the department has opened a hiring kiosk inside the Promenade mall in Temecula.

The kiosk will be used to generate applicants for open positions at the state’s largest casino. It’s located on the first level between the Disney Store and Bath & Body Works. Job seekers who stop by will be able to pick up an application or interest form and talk with a human resources representative.

“We tend to always have around 150 open positions,” Pechanga’s Public Relations Manager Ciara Green said. “People are always moving, advancing or transferring within the company. We tend to always have close to 100 jobs open at a given time.”

Pechanga employs around 4,000 people, making it the largest employer in the Valley, according to the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce.

“The kiosk is a very positive idea. It is really thinking outside of the box, especially when it comes to hiring local and regional,” said President and CEO of the Temecula Chamber of Commerce Alice Sullivan.

Sullivan said they are getting positive feedback in regards to the hiring kiosk. “One of our chairmen on the board is Jeff Kurtz, who is also the general manager at the mall,” she said. “Kurtz really understands the importance of regional and local hiring.”

The kiosk is an informal meet and greet for perspective employees.

“People who are interested in working at Pechanga do not need to dress up when visiting the kiosk,” Green said. “If you are dressed in shorts and flip flops you can still stop by. People don’t need to go home and come back dressed up just to fill out an application.”
