Mist rises up from the ground, doors and boxes shake, an animatronic lion growls from nearby and

a nefarious voice warns visitors to turn back. These are just some of the sights and sounds that greet people as they first enter the Sinister Valley Haunted House at Vail Ranch

Headquarters in Temecula. The house is filled with several rooms, each providing a distinctly scary experience. Sinister Valley is the idea of Chris O’Keefe and his friend Jus-

Alexis Brown represents Temecula in Miss California Teen USA Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula local Alexis K. Brown has been chosen by the producers of Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA to represent Temecula in the upcoming state pageant. The winner will go on to compete at the national Miss USA competition which is televised live on FOX. Raised in Temecula for over 15 years, Brown has strong roots to the city where she attended Paloma Elementary School, Margarita Middle School and graduated from Chaparral High School in 2013. Throughout high school, Brown was an active member of her school’s chamber choir and peer leaders. Since then, she has embarked in a modeling career, including working for Victoria’s Secret PINK and Berta Bridal. “Pageants and modeling really came hand in hand for me,” Brown said. “My mom originally introduced me to pageants as a hobby and never knew how hard I’d latch on it.”

This year, Brown will be graduating with honors from California State University San Bernardino with her bachelor’s degree in chemistry. After a placing in the top 20 at Miss California USA 2016, the aspiring physician will be representing Temecula in December. Her involvement with Angel Drive, Goodwill and Project T.O.U.C.H. allows her to giving back to her community. She is currently hosting the Winter Warm-Up Drive with Project T.O.U.C.H. in Temecula. Anyone can participate by donating coats and winter clothing. The drop off location is at the Temeku Hills Master Association office. “My community has always supported me during my career in pageants over the last 15 years, and I am forever grateful. Temecula holds a special place in my heart because these are my beginnings,” she said. To prepare for the upcoming pageant, she said her goal is to stay

Local nonprofits receive federal grant funding during Wildomar city council meeting Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Assistance League of Temecula Valley is one of three nonprofit groups in the area that received federal funding during a Wildomar City Council meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 11. The $9,000 in funds it received will go to Operation School Bell, which seeks to help students from kindergarten through high school obtain school-appropriate clothing. Alex Groves photo

The Wildomar City Council discussed at their Oct. 11 meeting, how to dole out the federal funding it received for the 2018-2019 fiscal year among four nonprofits that had applied. Four community groups requested $60,750 in federal Community Development Block Grants received through the city, but the council was only authorized to give 14 percent of its $147,699 in funding, or $20,677, to those groups. With Councilmember Dustin Nigg absent, the council voted 4-0 to give $9,000 to the Assistance

League of Temecula Valley, $9,000 to Helping Our People of Elsinore and $2,677 to Rancho Damacitas Children and Family Services. The Assistance League of Temecula Valley sought funds for Operation School Bell, which provides low-income grade school students with the chance to buy schoolappropriate clothing and shoes. The group, Helping Our People of Elsinore, provides food pantry services to those living in Lake Elsinore Unified School District boundaries. Rancho Damacitas Children and Family Services will use its fund for the SOAR

City council approves changes to former food pantry location in Temecula Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Two buildings near Old Town Temecula that had been used for a food pantry and accommodations for the area’s homeless will now be focused specifically on providing services to help members of the homeless population become self-sufficient. The Temecula City Council unanimously approved an amendment to an agreement with Community Mission of Hope, the nonprofit arm of Rancho Community Church, Tuesday, Oct. 10, to discontinue the morning meals previously served by faith-based organizations at the Escalier House and Barn, 28922 and 28916 Pujol Street, respectively. The amendment also made it so that the buildings will be able to hold and store items belonging to the homeless, established the creation of a homeless outreach coordinator position and allowed for the disbursement of cash assistance for housing to families that the Regional Homeless Alliance has identified as candidates. Temecula participates in the alliance. The amendment builds on changes the city approved in late April in a licensing agreement with Community Mission of Hope. The agreement required that the buildings would be transitioned into their new role as an “intake and wraparound service center for homeless individuals” over a three- to sixmonth period. Some of the services the buildings now provide under the April agreement include drug and alcohol counseling, addiction treatment, financial management training and transportation to family members for reunification purposes. Neal Neuenschwander, a pastor at Grace Presbyterian Church and a member of Temecula’s Interfaith

Two buildings on Pujol Street, the Escalier House and the Escalier Barn, will now provide “wraparound services” intended to help homeless individuals reach self-sufficiency. Faith-based organizations had provided morning meals at the barn, but that practice was formally discontinued in a council vote Tuesday, Oct. 10. Alex Groves photo

Council, said he was concerned with what wouldn’t be offered there anymore. “About a month ago, we were notified that there would be no feeding taking place on Pujol Street anymore. There would be no clothing distributed on Pujol anymore. There would be no showers for the homeless anymore. There would be no laundry for the homeless anymore,” Neuenschwander said. “Basically, all the practical services for the homeless have been discontinued.” Neuenschwander suggested the council reserve its vote and allow people to discuss how the buildings could be used in a public forum. As far as feeding the homeless was concerned, city Homeless Outreach Liason Robin Gilliland said it would not be happening at the Pujol Street locations unless circumstances change but that it didn’t mean it couldn’t happen elsewhere. “If he wants to feed, we have no problem with that. He would just have to do it at his church,” she said, referring to Neuenschwander.

Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards said the organization did still provide food pantry services at other locations. “We still have pantry services, and Community Mission of Hope does provide food at the church through regular distribution, and they’ve done millions of meals now, through their outreach,” Edwards said. Edwards said this year the city has been putting increased emphasis on helping people who are homeless to get out of their situation and that the new function of the Pujol Street buildings was part of that transition. “Self-sufficiency is the goal and empowering them to get on a road to self-sufficiency rather than enabling them,” she said during the meeting. Some of the other items the council approved included an ordinance that will allow builders to fast track the construction of electric charging stations by filling out an application with the city, as well as an ordinance that changed the posted speed limit for more than two dozen portions of road.

Lake Elsinore to join Temecula in Joint Power Agreement for electricity to save money Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Lake Elsinore City Council approved a joint power agreement with the city of Temecula that will bring in 1.5 megawatts of solar power to the city’s parks, streetlights and other facilities, saving the city millions of dollars in electric bills in the next 20 years. Currently, Lake Elsinore cityowned parks and facilities, excluding Diamond Stadium, are using 2.31 megawatts of power supplied by Southern California Edison at a cost of approximately 13.96 cents per kilowatt-hour, according to a study from the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve SOLAR Initiative. By connecting with the large 3.7-megawatt solar array being built by BioStar Renewables for SMER in the hills of Temecula, the city of Lake Elsinore will buy a maximum of 1.43 megawatts of power at a rate of 12.53 cents per kilowatt-hour. The 1.43 cents per kilowatt-hour cost dif-

ferential will save the city over $2.2 million in the next 20 years, compared to SCE energy costs that have risen approximately 2 percent per year. The purchase would supply the city with about 62 percent of the energy it previously bought from Edison. Michael Bracken, the city’s economic development consultant brought up the main selling point during the council meeting in favor of the city joining with Temecula to form the Southwest Riverside County Energy Authority. It is that the agreement will not impose any cost or expenses on the city or the SRCEA, except with respect to the purchase of the generated electricity. Bracken emphasized that the city will not be paying any of the costs related to the SMER solar array in Temecula including construction, maintenance and operations. The city’s only cost will be paying for the electricity generated by the solar panels. In his report, he better explained that the JPA agreement will “not im-

pose any cost or expenses on the city or the SRCEA, except with respect to the purchase of the generated electricity. The city will realize a savings in electrical energy costs by purchasing electricity generated by the solar generating facility. All costs related to the solar generating facility and the interconnection facilities to so that the generated electricity is credited toward the electricity used at various city facilities will be paid by SMER Research.” SMER Research is a 20-year solar project built on land it is leasing from San Diego State University. Bracken said if for some reason the facility were to shut down in an emergency or disaster, the city would still get power from the statewide power grid. The shutdown would not cost the city anything. The council approved joining with Temecula in the SRCEA. Lake Elsinore will have two councilmembers on the SRCEA board when it is officially formed.

Brown said her best memory from childhood was participating in the annual Fourth of July Parade in Old Town for many years as Little Miss Temecula and Jr. Miss Temecula. “As a little girl, I felt like a princess, and it was that love that shaped my career by embedding a stronger passion for pageants and modeling,” she said. Both Miss California USA and Miss California Teen USA will be

held at the Terrace Theater, Dec. 1-3, and the Westin Long Beach will serve as the host hotel. The pageant is a ticketed event and is open to the public. Tickets for the pageant shows will be available on www.Ticketmaster. com. Supporters who cannot attend the show in person can watch it live 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3, online at www. PageantVision.com.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale -According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call tollfree 1-866-256-0756 and enter 2003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Riverside County Democrats elect a new chairman MORENO VALLEY – In an expected but stunning move, Riverside County Democrats elected a new chairman at its regular monthly meeting Monday night in Moreno Valley. Former Corona City Council candidate Steve Ruth defeated incumbent Chair Howard Katz, earning 59 percent of the votes of the party’s central committee. Ruth’s victory ended Katz’ three-year administration one year ahead of time. “Needless to say, I’m honored to have the support of Riverside County Democrats as we work toward the 2018 midterm and 2020 elections,” Ruth said. “I am committed to working with all Democrats in

Riverside County to bring unity to our party, to raise our party’s profile in the community and to raise the money necessary to help our candidates win elections.” The election was necessitated after Katz moved out of his Assembly District during the summer. His move required that he resign as chair. As a result, and under the party’s bylaws, a new election was required. At the September meeting, both Katz and Ruth were nominated. Before Monday’s election, Ruth had earned the endorsements of the leading Democratic figures in Riverside County, including

Congressman Mark Takano, Sen. Richard Roth, Assemblymember Jose Medina, Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, Community College District Trustee Bill Hedrick and the 2014 and 2016 Democratic nominee in California’s 42nd Congressional District, Tim Sheridan, among others. “I am confident in Steve’s ability to lead our local party to successes this year, 2018 and beyond,” Takano said. After lagging behind for many years, the Democrats recently became the majority party in Riverside County; a point Ruth made after his election.

“Over the last few years, we have turned this county blue. My focus will be on increasing those numbers in the coming years,” he said. Ruth took office directly after the votes were certified. He will be up for re-election in November 2018. Former Corona City Council member Steve Ruth takes over for former Chair Howard Katz after winning 59 percent of votes from the central committee at the Riverside County Democrats’ monthly meeting. Ruth will serve until November 2018, when he will be up for re-election. Courtesy photo

year around Halloween until the venue got just a little too popular. “Last year we found the crowd was too big; it was unsafe for the neighborhood,” O’Keefe said. “So we had two options, which was either shut it down or go to the next level … And here we are.” The idea is that Sinister Valley is an old, abandoned mining town. Guests start by making their way through a “swamp graveyard” before proceeding to the governor’s mansion where finally they must go through Sinister Valley’s infamous mine itself. Actors are hiding everywhere in the haunted house, popping out from corners and odd locations. Briyanna Axtell, 22, of Murrieta hates being scared, but she thought the acting experience would be interesting when O’Keefe first approached her about being an actor there. Axtell wears a mask and sits inside a mock fireplace, a baby doll on the floor nearby. As people pass by the fireplace, Axtell crawls out from it and grabs up the baby doll. She said she is enjoying scaring people and likes the idea of being able to say she was part of a haunted house, but she’s still not a big fan of being on the receiving end of the fright. “I know every trigger, I know every actor and I still won’t walk through here by myself,” she said. There are several triggers throughout the house that set off various props and sounds. In one room, the projection of a ghost jumps out at

guests, and in another, filled with boxes labeled as TNT, explosive sound and color erupts. The piece de resistance of the haunted house is a masked figure brandishing a mock chain saw who chases after guests who think they’ve finally made it out safe. James Taylor, 39, and his son Elijah, 14, both went through the scary house and debated which was more scary: the chainsaw-brandishing man or Axtell’s character in the fireplace. “It was intense,” the elder Taylor said. “Definitely scary, definitely suspenseful. The sound effects were great. The actors were great.” So what is it about haunted houses that O’Keefe loves so much? He said it is the family tradition. He said that as he was growing up, his dad used to run haunted houses inside his garage. While those were never as big as the ones O’Keefe does now, he still has the memories of some of the things his dad built, including a little roller coaster and a suspension bridge, he said. “He definitely had very unique, cool things that he made,” O’Keefe said. O’Keefe said that in the later years his father built haunted houses, he was often the guy with the chain saw who would chase people. O’Keefe said he has a costume and may actually be appearing as part of the haunted house in the weeks to come. Sinister Valley Haunted House is located at 3213 Temecula Parkway. Tickets are $15.

that didn’t even know her that were just from the neighborhood and heard about what was going on and wanted to be there just to provide that support.” Romo was helped out of a car by a cousin and her children’s father, going inside her home after being greeted by their children. It was the first time they had seen their mother outside the hospital where she was being treated. Romo was among the hundreds injured when gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire on a crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in what is being called the worst mass shooting in American history. Though the injuries to her right eye are severe, there are promising signs that Romo is starting to make out some colors and shapes, Schneider said. “One of her friends went over to the house one day and wore like an orange sweatshirt kind of on purpose just to see if Chelsea would react to it,” he said. “Without even prompting, Chelsea asked her if she was wearing an orange sweatshirt.” Schneider said that he and others who are close to Romo are not only concerned with the physical injuries that she suffered during the event, but also the possible psychological impact of the shooting. “It’s kind of just an unspoken thing of the emotional trauma that may come and that’s probably going to come in the weeks ahead,” he said. Friends, family and members of the community are still trying to find ways to help Romo. Another of Romo’s cousins created a Facebook page that provides news and updates about Romo and links to the fundraisers that have been set up to help provide for her medical bills.

cil meeting Wednesday, Oct. 11, Councilmember Bridgette Moore encouraged members of the community to attend a spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Elks Club which will benefit Romo. The dinner will be held 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 22, at the Elks Lodge, 33700 Mission Trail, in Wildomar. Tickets, $15, can be purchased at the door. Elks officials are asking that people who are interested in attending the event RSVP by calling (951) 522-8765. There is also a GoFundMe campaign set up for Romo. As of Thursday, Oct. 12, the page had received more than $103,000 in donations. Friends have also set up a Meal Train account for Romo and her family that will allow people to choose a day to bring the family a meal. “People go home, they go about their day and some may forget,” Schneider said. “But the close, close friends and the family, we’re all here for the thick of it. Everybody is super positive. We’re all just trying to lean on each other and support each other and get through it.”

Hemet Police chief reports Measure U sales tax helping Hemet Police Department reduce city’s violent crimes Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Violent crimes in the city of Hemet are down from 2016 with some reduction in property crime, partially due to new police department hires and equipment made possible through Measure U funding, Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown said. Brown, appearing before the Hemet City Council during a workshop Tuesday, Oct. 10, showed that the new officers recently hired have helped reduce the overall violent crime rate from 313 incidents from January to June last year down to 206 incidents from January to June this year. The only exception was that the number of homicides went from one in 2016 to three this year to date, Brown said. Violent crimes include homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. The Hemet Police Department, using authorized funding from expected Measure U sales tax revenue coming to the city, has hired one new sergeant in charge of reporting of community services and the community safety unit, 14 police officers and two dispatchers in the past six months. Applicants for three additional positions are pending with one lieutenant and two community services officers still open. The department authorized 21 police department positions in total for the first phase of the Measure

NONPROFITS from page A-1 program, which provides enrichment activities for foster youth. SOAR stands for Success, Opportunity, Achievement, Results. A fourth organization, Merit Housing, is associated with the Wildomar Assisted Senior Living Facility on South Pasadena Street, which applied for funding to cover a portion of the salary for the senior center activities director and to transport seniors to and from errands. The organization was not granted any funds. During the meeting, Councilmember Marsha Swanson reasoned that while Rancho Damacitas does good work to help foster youth within the region, its efforts were

U public safety expenditures plan, Brown said. “We are almost 100 percent on the Measure U implementation plan,” Brown said and possibly ahead of schedule. He said the first phase of the Measure U public safety plan that is using the 1 percent sales tax plan approved by Hemet voters in November 2016 and a $10,000 lateral signing bonus approved by the council to recruit new officers has been highly successful. “We have found some great candidates out there,” Brown said. The department’s plan was to recruit half the new officers with experience from other police and sheriff’s departments and to recruit half from entry-level officers recently out of the academy. In the chief’s video presentation to the council, he showed the eight laterally hired police officers had at total 86 years street experience and the seven entry-level officers hired were in the top one-third of their academy classes. The new hires have brought the Hemet Police Departments number of sworn employees up to 78 with four still in the police academy. The impact of the new police officers getting out on the streets of Hemet, Brown said, has brought the number of arrests up 24 percent, calls for service down 2 percent, vandalism calls down 2 percent, trespass calls down 26 percent and prostitution calls down 29 percent.

While the violent crime statistics are down considerably since Measure U went into effect, the property crime statistics are not as favorable. “We are working on those,” Brown said. The statistics show that property crimes, including burglary, auto theft and theft, are down only 5 percent since 2016 going from 1,706 cases to 1,617 cases. Burglary is up 3 percent, from 390 cases to 400 cases, and auto theft is up 2 percent, from 254 incidents to 265incidents, in the city to date. Theft, however, is down 10 percent going from 1,062 cases in 2016 to 852 cases to date. Trespassing, Brown said, remains a problem with the homeless population in the city. He said the downturn so far in city trespassing calls is attributable to “more aggressive enforcement and pressure on the homeless population.” Two

of the newer officers hired will be assigned to work with the homeless issue along with other officers. The council was generally pleased with the report but had questions. Councilman Russ Brown asked about the rising number of traffic accidents in the city, suggesting the department think about purchasing license plate readers that help officers quickly identify vehicle drivers violating traffic rules. Brown said they are effective but “very expensive.” Brown said more officers are being assigned to traffic enforcement, and motor officers will soon be trained and assigned to the department’s four motorcycles. He said they also are planning to use community service officers to handle traffic calls, relieving other patrol officers of those duties.

Interim City Manager Allen Parker asked if the department planned to put bumper stickers on the new police cars and emergency vehicles saying they were in service because of Measure U funds. Chief Brown said they were in the process of doing that to let residents know the funds raised through the increased city sales tax are being used as designated – for public safety. City Clerk Sarah McComas told council they have four applications to fill a vacant seat left on the Measure U Oversight Committee and will be holding interviews of the applicants. The Measure U Oversight Committee was formed to oversee how the Measure U sales tax dollars are spent for the city’s public safety departments. The council announced it will be interviewing the candidates in public session, Nov. 24.

spread out across a variety of cities whereas the Assistance League and Helping Our People of Elsinore were in a better position to specifically impact the people of Wildomar. Swanson also raised concerns about Merit Housing and said the council had difficulty communicating with the organization in the past and getting access to its facility to use as a “cool center” for people during the hot summer months. “They have to have the air on for their people and they have the room, and we never can seem to get any cooperation and they don’t come here,” Swanson said. “And to give them money to raise someone’s salary doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”

Community Development Block Grants are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to cities like Wildomar, who can apply to the Riverside County Economic Development Agency to receive them for improving neighborhoods. Initially, Helping Our People of Elsinore asked for $25,000, The Assistance League asked for $15,000, Merit Housing asked for $10,750 and Rancho Damacitas asked for $10,000. For a nonprofit organization or service project to qualify for funds, it must meet one of three national program objectives. It must provide a benefit to low or moderate income people; it must eliminate slums or blight or it must meet urgent

community development needs because of natural disasters or other emergencies. The remaining $127,002 of funding will go the “Mission Trail Sidewalk Project” in the Sedco Hills. The funds will be added to previous CDBG allotments and will pay for the construction and improvement of sidewalks. Also during the meeting, the city council approved a professional services agreement with RRM Design Group to be the designers of a community park that will be built on 27 acres of land near Ronald Reagan Elementary School. Wildomar accepted the park land and $300,000 to develop it in November 2013, and the city adopted a citywide parks’ Master Plan in

April 2015. “The scope that’s before you, primarily at this phase, is all about community input,” Assistant City Manager Dan York said. He noted that the city will hold three community workshops for people to review sample templates and to voice their thoughts about what they would like to see in the park. A finalized plan and estimated cost for the park will be brought before the council later, York said. The council also unanimously approved Mayor Pro-Tem Ben Benoit’s appointment of Wildomar resident Mason Ballard as a planning commissioner for the city. Ballard will fill a vacancy left by Stan Smith, who died in August.

Week Seven action fuels the playoff fire

Travis Plantier (9) finds his way into the end zone for the Broncos as they defeat the Rams 48-20, handing Murrieta Mesa their first loss of the season in Week Seven.

Who will win that coveted league title? Who can be the last team standing in December? With three weeks remaining in the regular season the gloves are finally starting to get unwrapped, but when will they really come off? Murrieta Valley is on a 3-game win streak and looks to be the front runner in the Southwestern League after their 42-17 mauling of the

Pumas last week. The Nighthawks hope to claim a second SWL title in back-to-back seasons and can do so barring any major setbacks. Vista Murrieta regained a bit of clout this past week handing the red-hot Rams their first loss of the season. Murrieta Mesa looked strong out of the gate and even led twice early in the game, but injuries and perhaps the rumble from the Bronco Bleachers Creatures (BBC), who helped Vista earn the title of the ‘Most Spirited School in

Great Oak jumped to the top of the standings this week, alongside Murrieta Valley, with their Week Six win over the Golden Bears and will have to face a Murrieta Mesa team looking for redemption this week.

There’s a new face at the helm for the Great Oak High School varsity baseball program. With former Head Coach Eric Morton being named the new athletic director for the school, long time assistant coach, Chris Dress, has been named the successor as new head coach of the Wolfpack squad. Coach Dress has been a special

education teacher at GOHS for almost 13 years and has been coaching (baseball and football) the entire time since he arrived at the school. Dress says he loves the tradition that Coach Morton has in place and plans to continue and build on that. His competitive nature welcomes this challenge and already has his sights set on getting the team to the next level. “I am very excited for Coach Dress to take over the baseball pro-

gram. He has been a member of the baseball coaching staff for the last 12 years and will continue to build this program. He understands the history and traditions and will make the transition for all the players and parents seamless,” stated Morton in a recent interview. Dress is a native of Orange County but played high school baseball in Maryland where he earned a scholarship to play college baseball at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. Coach Dress strives to be honest, fair and very passionate about his coaching craft every day that he is out on the field. When asked why he feels he is the best candidate Dress stated that his ability to relate to the players gives him an edge and that he likes to keep the game fun, but there is also a serious time, time to get to work and get going. “I definitely have passion and knowledge for the game,” says Dress. “My ego and competitive nature says there is nobody better qualified than me to take over this position. I believe and know what I can do and surround myself with really good staff to help push the agenda forward.” Coach Dress appears to have unanimous support in his new role including recently retired Great Oak pitching coach Dan Dwyer. “I have coached Frosh, JV and Varsity with Coach Dress over the past 10 years. He’s a great fit for the job, knows the program and players

and has a great grasp of the game and how it should be played. He teaches the game properly and his insight and style will benefit Great Oak for years to come,” Dwyer explained. Coach Dress shared his philosophy on coaching and its relationship to education. “I am big believer in explaining on what needs to be done, showing and giving the players examples and showing the fundamental and proper way, it is expected to be done, then letting the guys go out and do it in practice,” Dress said. “It’s kind of like going to a Science lab in the sense of here is what we’re going to do and if we do it this way here is what our end result would look like. … If we do it right, we get to celebrate that like crazy. And if we do it wrong we get to celebrate that too because we’re going to fix it.” Dress said he also wants to increase his athletes’ knowledge of the game beyond what they have now. “Just like in a classroom,” he said. Great Oak High School is in the CIF SS Div II Conference for baseball and Dress and his staff will look to improve on the team’s record from last year. His area of focus in order to accomplish that will be playing better defensively, executing the situational game and improving strategies to earn more runs.

Hamlin wins Demo Cross in racing debut Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Mitchell Hamlin had never driven in any race before participating in the Oct. 8 afternoon Demo Cross competition at Perris Auto Speedway. His racing debut ended with a victory in the main event. “It was very unexpected. My goal was to go out there and have fun, but it turns out I won. That was cool,” Hamlin said. Hamlin, a lifelong Hemet resident who graduated from Hemet High School in 2016, had observed off-road competition but had not personally driven. “I’ve always been around off-road with family and friends and stuff,” Hamlin said. “I haven’t raced.” Hemet resident Mitch Hoover, who graduated from Hemet High School in 2015, introduced Hamlin to Perris Auto Speedway. “One of my buddies grew up around the track,” Hamlin said. Hoover also developed the idea of partnering with Hamlin to race at Perris. “He hit up a family friend and that’s how he got the Mercedes and we just started working on the Mercedes,” Hamlin said. Hamlin and Hoover converted a 2003 Mercedes ML 350 into a racecar. The “H” in car number 1H stands for Hamlin and Hoover. Demo Cross is similar to a demolition derby in that drivers are allowed to take each other out. It differs in that it is run on an oval track and ends when the remaining drivers have completed a specified number of laps rather than when only one car is running. Demo Cross drivers are not allowed to drive in reverse to hit another driver, although they may back up if an obstacle on the track prevents them from going forward. Another difference is that track personnel place obstacles such as tires, boats, and water barrels on the track for the main event. Debris from cars and inoperable cars themselves

add to the original obstacles on the track, and while a red flag to stop the race temporarily may be thrown for safety purposes there are no yellow flag cautions to remove debris or inoperable cars. Perris Auto Speedway is part of the Lake Perris Fairgrounds. The Southern California Fair takes over that facility in early October but incorporates the track into the fair’s activities. Two Demo Cross races were held Oct. 8: one in the early afternoon and one in the evening. Hamlin drove the Mercedes in the afternoon Demo Cross and Hoover drove in the evening competition. Heat races as well as a main event take place. Hamlin began the six-lap heat race on the outside of the third row and finished second. “That was unexpected, too,” he said. The Perris track is a half-mile dirt oval. “It was an experience, a

bit hard to handle, especially with obstacles in the final, but in reality it was not that bad and it was really fun,” Hamlin said. (The obstacles are not placed on the track for the heat races to avoid damaging the cars and preventing their participation in the main event.) Hamlin began the 20-lap main event on the outside of the fourth row. He gained the lead midway through the race. “It took me a while,” he said. Jesse Gordon had the lead until Gordon spun out. “I got really lucky,” Hamlin said. The leader - as well as anybody else - must contend with passing lapped traffic as well as with the obstacles on the track. “I didn’t even know I was in the lead. I was just focusing on where I was going,” Hamlin said. Gordon was the second driver to

take the checkered flag. “I didn’t know I won until I heard it on the intercom,” Hamlin said. “I found out I won when they were saying on the intercom that 1H won and they told me to go to the front straightaway.” Hamlin and Hoover worked on the car before the day of the race and were joined in the pits Oct. 8 by John Grounds and Nigel Carson. They are sponsored by Send-It Racing. Hoover finished 13th in the evening main event. Gordon won that race. The Southern California Fair races were the final Demo Cross events of 2017 at Perris Auto Speedway, but Hamlin and Hoover plan to race in 2018. “Our goal is to compete next year,” Hamlin said. “It was a very fun experience, and I plan to do it again.”

HS Football: Wildcats’ Nolan goes wild in 57-6 rout of Lancers Paul Bandong SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

ELSINORE – Senior QB Chance Nolan passed for 251 yards and four touchdowns, completing 13 of 15 attempts and he rushed for 85 yards and another score as the visiting Paloma Valley Wildcats routed the Lakeside Lancers 57-6. Lakeside was once again without top running back Adrian Burt for the second straight league game due to a hamstring injury. Burt was one of the top five rushers in the entire Southern Section with 1058 yards and 17 touchdowns in five preseason games. The Lakeside defense forced a three-and-out punt on Paloma Valley’s first possession, but an interception by senior Wildcat safety Logan Scott gave Paloma Valley the ball back at midfield. Four plays later, Nolan hit wide receiver

Mason Carvalho on a 19-yard post pass. Carvalho scored again four minutes later on a 13-yard strike from Nolan. An interception of a Dylan Bomhoff pass by Wildcats senior Thomas Eddington just before the three-minute mark gave the ball back to Paloma Valley; 30 seconds later Lakeside recovered a fumble on a bubble pass. Amir Hasin ended the Lancer possession with a 26yard interception runback to end the first period. Paloma Valley dominated the second quarter. Six plays and 1:45 into the second period, running back Tyler Tinahui scored on a sixyard off-tackle play. Seth Carvalho caught a 13-yard TD pass in the middle from Nolan and younger brother Mason caught his third TD pass of the game. Paloma Valley (6-1, 2-0) hosts the Elsinore Tigers (5-2, 1-1) who

Although the goals and expectations are set high for the team this season, with their drive and determination, these goals are reachable. Sprague said, “I am excited just to see what happens, especially since I am one of the captains this year,” Sprague said. “It should continue to be a good season for us, we’re all optimistic and everyone should stay tuned.” As the team continues to persevere and strive this season, there is not much that will stand in their way to victory. It is shown in their long hours of practice, consistency, and current success that the team’s mindset is right where it needs to be to guarantee a season of triumph and prosperity.

Chaparral senior and another of the Pumas team captains, Tanner Sprague, shoots the ball during a team practice.

Juliana Vasquez SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

To kick-start the new season and obtain a spot in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section (CIF-SS) postseason, the Chaparral Water Polo boys have been practicing five days a week for several hours to ensure that they will reach their goal. So far, the team has had a strong start and are currently residing at 4-1. The team appears to be determined to come out victorious by the season’s end. Along with their strong start, the addition of the team’s three new captains, seniors Ethan Villalta, Anthony Ricchiuti and Tanner Sprague, add optimism for a successful season. The team’s biggest competitors are Vista Murrieta and Murrieta Valley. “I am confident that we can beat them this year in league,” junior Luke Draeger said. “We practice every day and we are determined to make sure that happens.” In addition to daily practices,

Draeger added that the team has improved with their ball movement skills, which is essential for winning in Water Polo. However, something he feels the team can still improve on is making better passes, as well as shots. “As long as we are consistent, we can make these improvements,” Draeger said. When it comes to Water Polo, or any sport in general, team bonding and communication is key for prestigious performance. “Our team has very close ties, we’ve all grown together through our years in high school and being on the same team,” Ricchiuti said. “I definitely think we have great compatibility and I would not have it any other way.” One way that the team retains their tight bond is by having pasta parties the night before their games so they can all spend quality time together, and while this keeps their sense of togetherness, there are other benefits. “It is also good to load up on carbs

John Hine Subaru donates science books to E. Hale Curran Elementary School Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As part of the “Subaru Loves Learning” program, General Manager Bill Brumbaugh and Marketing Manager Kevin Ohler of John Hine Subaru in Temecula donated over 150 science books to Diane Butterworth’s fifth grade class at E Hale Curran Elementary School in Murrieta. Courtesy photo

Bill Brumbaugh, general manager, and Kevin Ohler, marketing manager, both from John Hine Subaru in Temecula were on hand at Friday’s assembly at E. Hale Curran Elementary School in Murrieta to make a special “Subaru Loves Learning” presentation to Principal Pamela Roden. John Hine Subaru donated over 150 awardwinning science books to Diane Butterworth’s fifth grade class. “I am excited about the donation of science books since we are a STEM school,” Butterworth said. “And I am grateful to John Hine Subaru for their very generous donation. I will make sure these books get put to great use.” As part of the nationwide “Subaru Loves Learning” initiative, John Hine Subaru supports the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The organization has more than 100,000 members and serves as an authoritative source for

information on the latest developments in science. AAAS seeks to “advance science, engineering and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people.” One of the goals of Subaru America is to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible. According to a recent release, “We know the deepest learning happens when students have the tools they need to inspire new ways of thinking and seeing the world.” On a local level, John Hine Subaru selected E. Hale Curran Elementary as the recipient for the donation. Curran Elementary is a public school with a focus on science, technology, engineering and math and serves almost 550 students. “It’s our privilege and our pleasure to make this donation to such a worthy school,” Brumbaugh said. “And we hope these books will inspire kids to science-based careers.”

Fernando Bauzo, a communication major from Murrieta, California, traveled to Italy, May 19 to June 27, taking classes at the Tiber campus of John Cabot University in Rome. “I wanted to experience Italian culture,” he said. “My mother’s side of the family is Italian, and I wanted to learn more about where they come from.” To get to campus, Bauzo would walk from his residence in the Gianicolo apartments near the Tiber River through the Trastevere neighborhood, experiencing its sights and sounds. “My friends and I would see a new restaurant on our way to class and would tell the others to meet there for dinner,” he said. His classes, held Monday through Thursday, covered the history of ancient Rome and Italy. Outside of class, he traveled around the country. One weekend

he watched the end of Giro d’Italia bicycle race in Milan. “I never thought I would see a race in person, but I really enjoyed it,” he said. “The whole city was filled with energy. As the racers came in, the crowd went wild. I could hardly hear my friends, and we were only inches from each other. My favorite memory from Milan was shopping with my friends. It was crazy to think that I only knew these people for a week, yet we spent all our time together.” Other trips included Napoli’s underground city, Mount Vesuvius and the Vatican. “I was in awe while we wandered the ruins in Pompeii,” he said. “I used to watch so many shows on the History Channel. I loved walking the streets. I was amazed how so much remained after this disaster. I remember the view of Mount Vesuvius most. It loomed over the area. I could only imagine how the inhabitants felt when the volcano erupted. “I loved to learn about Rome and the Vatican. I could not be-

lieve that I was actually there in person. My favorite part was the Sistine Chapel. I didn’t want to leave. The chapel was so beautiful. For me, that was the highlight of the entire trip.”

Bauzo said the trip whetted his appetite for more of Italian culture. He hopes to visit the country again and perhaps even move there. “I think this is an experience

everyone should have,” he said. “For me, experience is the best way to expand your knowledge. You can read and watch shows about it, but nothing is better than experiencing it firsthand.”

Project Ares amps up the 2017 SoCal Cyber Cup Challenge

Strong Leaders

SAN DIEGO – Securing Our eCity Foundation, National Defense Industry Association and National University announced they will be using the Project Ares platform by Circadence and supported by ScaleMatrix for the SoCal Cyber Cup Challenge. “I am so excited for this year’s challenge,” Liz Fraumann, executive director of the Securing Our eCity Foundation, said. “The program continues to get better each year and offers a more sophisticated level of interaction with Project Ares. Talk about a game changer.” Cyber security is the fastest growing job sector and is a rapidly changing field that affects all facets of people’s lives. The SoCal Cyber Cup Challenge offers students, coaches and mentors the ability to work as a team to defend systems and networks in a competitive cyber challenge. It is designed to afford middle and high school age students the opportunity to learn skills that can directly lead to an

exciting career in cyber security. In addition to the skills gained through the competition, the schools of the top teams are awarded scholarship funds to support their school programs. With ever-shrinking school budgets, the much-needed funds can go a long way to support a program. Project Ares brings a whole different dimension to the challenge than in previous years. It allows flexibility to really challenge students who learn at such a rapid pace and grasp ideas quickly. For those who remember, Project Ares is a lot like the movie “War Games” with Matthew Broderick in 1983 only much more sophisticated. It is incredibly visual and allows for various custom scenarios, so each one will be unique as the competition progresses. The finals will be held in March 2018. “We need to continue to push the education boundaries for today’s students, and this new platform allows us to do just that,” Fraumann

said. “The students are going to love it.” The goal of the challenge is to encourage students to learn about computer security threats by providing an educational venue for them to apply the theories and practical skills they have learned and to foster a spirit of teamwork, ethical behavior and effective communication both within and across teams. As with last year, the competition will utilize Sports Illustrated Play and be open to all middle and high school aged students in Imperial, San Diego, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Team registration for the 2017 SoCal Cyber Cup Challenge is open now. Students and schools are encouraged to sign up. Teams may be formed with any youth organization or school.

Altura Credit Union named a ‘Best Credit Union to Work For’

Employees gather at Altura Credit Union’s Riverside headquarters to celebrate their employer being named as a “Best Credit Union to Work For” by Credit Union Journal magazine. The leading industry publication recently recognized the top 45 credit unions to work for in the nation. In addition to making the national list, Courtesy photo Altura was ranked No. 4 in California.

RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union has been named among the nation’s very best credit unions

Strategies to increase the value of a financial legacy Rich M. Groff II SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

After a lifetime of accumulating money, it’s common for retirees to start thinking about their legacy and what they want to leave to their children, grandchildren or a favorite charitable cause. But despite the dollar signs they see on investment and bank accounts, there’s no guarantee loved ones or a chosen charity will get the full amount. Uncle Sam is lurking to snatch a sizable share. It’s important to plan carefully to make sure that as much of the money as possible goes to the people or organizations chosen. It’s very easy for someone to think they’ve covered all the bases, when in reality there are potential pitfalls they didn’t know about or didn’t count on. The good news is that there are plenty of options people can consider that will allow them to leverage those gifts, so that the person or organization receiving them gets the maximum amount possible.

Here is just a few of those options. First, leverage an individual retirement account to increase a legacy. When leaving a traditional individual retirement account to loved ones, remember that they pay a hefty tax on it. But there are ways to eliminate – or at least mitigate – the tax bill. For example, use some of the individual retirement account money to buy a survivorship universal life insurance policy that would pay enough to your beneficiaries to offset the amount of the taxes. There are additional ways of using an SUL to eliminate the taxes, give to charity and still increase what loved ones receive. Make a charity the life-insurance beneficiary. People usually think of naming a spouse or a child as the beneficiary on a life insurance policy, but the money doesn’t have to go to an individual. Policy holders can direct that the policy be paid to a charity instead. The main downside to this approach is that there’s no income-tax advantage

for the policy holder. Last, consider donating the life insurance policy. This strategy does come with some tax advantages. Giving a life insurance policy to a charity as a gift can provide an income tax deduction now and can significantly reduce the taxable estate of the person who made the donation when that person dies. The charity, meanwhile, receives the full face value of the policy. Many people have a good idea who they want to benefit from their financial legacy. They just don’t always know how to make it happen. But if they lay out all their wishes to their financial professional, that person should be able to help them come up with a plan that will meet their legacy goals. Rich M. Groff II, www.TheMoneyMD.com, is a third-generation certified financial planner and entrepreneur. Groff has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from Central Michigan University.

assets over $1 billon. Altura also was ranked No. 4 in California. It is the second consecutive year that Altura has placed on the list of the “Best Credit Unions to Work For.” According to Credit Union Journal, it partnered with Best Companies Group to identify credit unions that have excelled in creating a quality workplace for employees. “This survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best credit unions,” Credit Union Journal said in making the announcement of the top 45 credit unions. The full list is available at www.CUJournal.com. “All of us at Altura are humbled by this honor. I am extremely proud that Altura was recognized as one of the best credit unions to work for in the U.S.,” Jennifer Binkley, Altura president and CEO, said. “Our members, and meeting their needs, are our top priorities. Creating a work environment where people want to come to work every day runs a close second. We understand that if our employees enjoy their work,

they can better serve our members. It creates a win-win for everyone.” I n m a k i n g i t s a n n o u n c ement, Credit Union Journal said that determining the best credit unions was a two-step process. The first step is a review of a credit union’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, which counts for 25 percent of the score. The second step is an extensive employee survey that assesses the experiences and attitudes of individual employees about their workplace, which is worth 75 percent of the total score. Altura Credit Union is a not-forprofit, member-owned financial institution headquartered in Riverside County. Anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Riverside and San Diego counties and selected cities in San Bernardino and Orange counties can become an Altura member, as well as U.S. military, U.S. government and civilian employees working at March Air Force Reserve Base and U.S. Armed Forces retirees.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The happy sounds of the bouzoukis and drums echoed from the Temecula City Hall throughout Old Town along with the smell of sweet Greek pastries wafting through the air, during the 2017 Temecula Greek Festival, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14-15. Families and children wandered through the festival grounds to watch and to participate in Greek horos or dances, featuring the Chaparral High School Belly Dance Team and the St. Nicolas Greek Orthodox Churches children’s Evokia dance group and the Ta Pedakia Folk Dancers. “The Olympians” from Hollywood Greeks provided the Greek music with brothers Jim and George Karidakis playing bouzoukis and other Greek instruments. The Rev. Andrew J. Lesko of St. Nicholas Church and other clergy members at the information booth cordially greeted all those enjoying the festivities. The clergymen answered questions about the wearing of the Greek Orthodox clerical vestments which are worn by the priests of the church and directed visitors to the many exhibitions of the Greek culture at the event. Inside the City Hall’s banquet room, some of the best Greek pastries including baklava, diples, kataifi and koulourakia cookies were for sale along with tasty Greek coffee and blended drinks. St. Nicholas parishioners presented demonstrations of how to make spanakopita, baklava and tzatziki, ending with a delicious tasting. Anna Bozonalos handed out her bite-sized samples of a dolamathes spinach dish at Sunday’s demonstration.

If the samples were not enough to fill visitor stomachs, the cooks were busy preparing full-size offerings of the Greek entrees for sale. The most popular dishes were the souvlaki plate with charbroiled chicken or pork souvlakia and the lamb chop plate with charbroiled lamb chops. Both plates were served with salad, rice and bread roll. A Greek gyro booth sold many gyros and feta fries during the two days of festivities. As a tasty appetizer, a loukoumades booth was open. Walking into the festival, visitors could start the day off with a pork or chicken souvlaki appetizer sold at the souvlaki booth. At the demonstration table, they showed samples of Greek traditional clothing and the popular three-string bouzouki, which is the key Greek dance instrument in the horos. Greek dance teachers were on hand in the covered staging area for those interested in learning the Greek circle dance and belly dances with many guests taking to the dance floor throughout the festival. Children attending were not disappointed, enjoying face painting, bounce houses and a kid’s workshop sponsored by Home Deport Saturday. Greek stories were told by Ovid, played by Stephen Secules, and Homer, played by Nas Khan from the Khan Law Firm, in the Homer’s Storyteller Corner, delighting both children and adults. The proceeds of the annual Temecula Greek Festival event help the ministries of the growing St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at 41132 Guava St. in Murrieta. Contact Lesko at (909) 224-5046.

Temecula video game designer brings four-year project to fruition

Make this Holiday Special with that unique item they are looking for!

Christopher Timmons of Temecula has a passion for video game design, and that passion is something that has spurred him to work on the creation of a game for more than four years. “Gunplay” is now on the cusp of being released on video game website Steam and other platforms, and Timmons, 20, feels like a proud parent. “It’s been sort of my child that I’ve sort of raised, and I’m trying

to push out now,” Timmons said. “That’s definitely something good. It’s taken me a long time, but that’s totally fine in the grand scheme of things because at least it’s done.” The futuristic space game has three different levels. The first level features a player shooting enemies and traveling through a spaceship, the second level is set on an industrial-themed planet where lasers and traps are hidden everywhere, and the third level is based on a planet infested with a swarm of enemies. Timmons is the main force behind the game, but several members of online communities have helped him with other elements of the game, including some of the game’s art and music. When Timmons has needed a sounding board, he’s gone to his friend Joshua Wheeler, 20, of Temecula, he said. He has asked Wheeler to consult and test just about everything from the way the game looks to the way it is played. Wheeler compared Timmons’ love of video game design to an artist who has been practicing their painting techniques. “You kind of take pride in it, and as you get better at it, you find new techniques, and it makes it a more enjoyable experience,” Wheeler said. “I would say it’s more than a hobby, but he doesn’t work full time for it.” Timmons said he’s planning on initially releasing an early access

version on Steam in December, and a full version of the game could be released on Steam and other websites as early as January. He said the new game won’t be a money-making effort. He plans to release it for free online, but he hopes the game serves as a marketing tool for Shocknights Studios, the new indie video game studio he is founding. Timmons said that while he hopes the game gains exposure as a side benefit, it wasn’t really his main focus when he was developing it. “The reason why I do games is because I want to make something that I want to play,” Timmons said. “A lot of game developers will say that. And the other thing that I do it for is because I honestly enjoy watching people play my games, because I create an experience for another user to play through and have a good time and escape for a little bit.” Timmons offers this advice to budding new game developers: make a game. “If you want to get into game development, make a game,” he said. “Make a game and keep making games. Don’t stop because if you stop, you won’t make it.” The 20-year-old said he is working toward a career in video game design and would like to work for a major design company. He said he plans to follow his own advice until he gets there.

The Temecula Valley Music Awards singled out 12 of the Temecula Valley’s budding musicians and songwriters for special awards Saturday, Oct. 7, at Bel Vino Winery. Held on an outdoor stage at the winery, the fourth annual TVMA party showcased former TVMA winners who have become the newest national music stars and other top music supporters of TVMA and its mission. The awards party is presented each year by the nonprofit Moyer Entertainment Group to benefit local school music programs and to offer scholarships to deserving music students. Tim Moyer of MEG produced and directed the awards party. “The School of Rock,” Temecula’s newest music school started the evening off on an upbeat note, kicking off a party full of music, dancing, delightful wines and tasty foods under the full moon at the Bel Vino Winery, 33515 Rancho California Road. Gift baskets donated by local businesses and a Fender electric guitar package were up for bid at the silent auction; the proceeds went to the TVMA.

Inaugural San Jacinto Heritage Festival kicks off Saturday, Oct. 21 SAN JACINTO – The San Jacinto Unified School District, in partnership with the city of San Jacinto, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, the Hemet San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce and the San Jacinto Education Foundation, invites the community to attend the inaugural San Jacinto Heritage Festival, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 21, at the landmark Francisco Estudillo Mansion, 150 S. Dillon Avenue, in San Jacinto. “The emphasis of the event is to celebrate the rich heritage of San Jacinto and share historical facts and highlight events and businesses that shaped our community,” John I. Norman, SJUSD’s board president, said. “So many of our schools are named after historic persons from the valley, and we want to ensure our students know why.” The San Jacinto Heritage Festival will feature food booths with throwback prices, San Jacinto High School Future Farmers of America’s famous tri-tip barbecue, Agri-Empire’s baked potatoes, school club booths showcasing their heritage along with fun activities for the community and families to participate, a showcase of Soboba’s new casino and resort, youth performances, recognition of Hemet San Jacinto Chamber businesses that have operated in San Jacinto for 25-plus years, San Jacinto Rotary bocce ball tournament, mansion and museum tours and a family movie viewed on outdoor screen

from the comfort of lawn chairs or blankets. “There are many great new things coming to San Jacinto these days, but the reasons why our town was developed here, needs to be shared and remembered, as well,” Mayor Scott Miller said. The city of San Jacinto, along with San Jacinto Unified and the Soboba Tribal Council, all proclaimed October as San Jacinto Heritage Month at their recent official meetings. Last week, light pole banners were installed in the downtown area for each of these three organizations, which also depict their individual date of establishment. “The city of San Jacinto has a rich history, and the Heritage Festival is a fun opportunity for students, residents and business people to learn more about our hometown,” Hemet San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce President Andy Anderson said. Additionally, San Jacinto businesses that have been in business for 25 years or more will be recognized at the festival for their role in shaping the history of the city. “You will want to attend this family- friendly community event.” Anderson said. For more information about event participation or registration forms for the San Jacinto Rotary Bocce Ball tournament, contact Dawn Lawrence, SJUSD communications, (951) 929-7700, ext. 4411 or dlawrence@ sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

Safety comes first when traveling with pets

Dogs should be properly restrained in vehicles and not allowed to ride with their heads out of the window. The high velocity of wind can damage their respiratory systems over time. Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – A pet’s love is unconditional, so it’s no wonder that pet parents want to keep their beloved animals by their side as much as possible. Pet owners whose pets spend ample time in the car should brush up on some safety precautions to ensure the roadways are safe for all travelers, including those covered in fur. Driving while distracted is a significant safety concern. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety notes that simply taking one’s eyes off the road for two seconds doubles the chances of being involved in a crash. Recent data from Kurgo, a leading supplier of quality dog travel supplies and accessories for active dogs, found that 60 percent

of respondents had driven with pets in the last month, and more than half admitted to being distracted by their pets. Although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not track how many accidents are attributed to pets, it’s easy to see how pets can be a distraction on the road. Drivers should never allow their pets to sit on their laps or ride in vehicles unless they are restrained. Doing so puts all passengers, pets and humans alike, in danger. AAA said a 10-pound dog that is not restrained can generate 500 pounds of force in a 50 mile-perhour crash. Pet owners can heed these safety guidelines to make trips with their

pets less dangerous. First, recognize that airbags can cause injury. Airbags are designed to protect people, not pets. It’s always recommended that pets ride in the back seat or the storage area of an SUV in vehicles equipped with airbags. Watch those windows. Although riding with their heads out of the car window is a quintessential image of dogs in car, such situations put dogs in danger. Fast-blowing debris or litter can injure the dog, and heavy airflow can damage the animal’s respiratory system, veterinarians warn. Dogs also may attempt to jump out. Invest in a restraint system. Vehicle restraint systems keep

pets safe. Small dogs may benefit from being inside crates that are secured to the vehicle. Harnessing a pooch is another option, and many harnesses connect directly to seat belts. Dog gates and guards can be installed between the back seat and the storage bay area, which is great when traveling with multiple dogs. Avoid truck beds. The American Humane Society said pets should never be transported in the bed of pickup trucks. Dogs should only ride in pickup trucks with extended cabs that allow their owners to secure them in the backseat. Keeping passengers, including both people and pets, safe in vehicles is the responsibility of drivers.

Give your neighbors the

creeps this Halloween with spooky décor

Haunted graveyards are easy to assemble and perfect for providing Halloween scares. Thinkstock/Mimadeo photo

designed to put the scream in your Halloween.

hen our children were little, we went with family friendly Halloween décor in our yard and throughout our home. As they aged, they begged for a change in our Halloween routine. They wanted to be the spookiest house on the block, so we delivered. From fog machines and spooky music to a “haunted” graveyard and “haunted” maze we constructed in the garage and driveway, ours was the house that the teens in our neighborhood lined up to see. There was a lot of trial and error the first couple of years, but we eventually delivered the fright on Halloween night. Here are a few tips and some of the hottest trends on decorating for the holiday

Set up a child friendly area Small children rarely look to be scared on Halloween. Often dressed as their favorite cartoon characters and super-heroes the littlest trick or treaters are looking for fun and candy, not ghouls and goblins designed to give them nightmares. Always set a haunted maze up away from the street and keep the front-end kid friendly. Use cartoonish inflatables in front of the maze and graveyard and station someone at that end to keep things fun for the smallest witches and warlocks.

Fog machines for a spooky effect A few years ago, we bought a fog machine, and I love it. We have two now because they are so versatile, one I use in my garage for the haunted maze and the second, I use in the “haunted” graveyard for a spooky effect. Speaking of haunted graveyards…

“scare” factor. I also use cobwebs and a few other items like scattered “bones,” blue lights and a rickety looking fence around the edge to dress it up. Be as creative as you like but remember, a fog machine and homemade arch at the entrance (easy instructions at www.instructables. com/id/Cemetery-Archway-Entrance) completes the look.

cor to give visitors the creeps while they make their way through the maze. To separate halls or rooms use some shredded cheesecloth or black plastic trash bags cut into strips. It’s good to have a theme, so when you shop for your haunted house décor, have a plan in mind so you can minimize your bang for the buck. The best part of a haunted maze is the scare factor, we have a few holes cut into the “walls” and covered with cheesecloth so we can poke an arm through and grab at our guests as they make their way through. We also have things like small tables with skulls and other creepy items on them. One of our favorite items is an old wardrobe box saved from a previous move. We painted it black and cut a hole in the top. My son likes to pop his head through (complete with creepy makeup or an eerie mask) to scare guests. Don’t forget the fog machine, weird lighting and ominous music. Be creative and have fun. It’s important to remember to mark the exits for your maze so people can get out quickly if necessary. Plan a clearly marked entrance and exit for your haunted house with a light source so that people can see where to go.

Create a Haunted Maze A haunted maze is a bit trickier and requires a bit more work and while I put together individual aspects of my haunted maze beforehand, I usually finish it the day of Halloween. We use spray painted cardboard and two-by-fours to brace them up as the walls (black plastic works well too) and hang things like cobwebs, spiders and other spine-chilling dé-

Mysteriously appearing in a haunted maze by poking your head (or arm) through some black plastic or fabric is just one way to give your guests a fright. Courtesy photo

Create a Haunted Graveyard The haunted graveyard takes a little more work than just throwing up a bunch of decorations, but it’s by and far, my favorite every year. To keep from spoiling the fun, I set up my graveyard a few days before the holiday. The first thing I always do is set up my tombstones. I made my own using two-by-fours, plywood and spray paint. (Lowes.com has some free templates available for download.) After I set up my tombstones at angles to make it look neglected, I like to pile rock with a shovel or two wedged into it and even throw a skull or two on top of them for the

A few years ago, minions were all the rage. From movies and cartoons, everyone from tots to adults loved them. This inflatable minion, available at Walmart.com, is more silly than scary and for only $28.88, why not purchase a pair for some Halloween fun. Courtesy photo

Protect the planet this Halloween some people even give them out to trick-or-treaters. When buying apples that will ultimately be transformed into candied confections, buy your apples from local farmers. Locally produced apples did not have to travel far, reducing the fuel needed to go from farm-to-table. And locally produced apples may taste fresher than those shipped from far away, making this beloved dish even more delicious.

TEMECULA – In the minds of children and even many adults, Halloween is one of the best days of the year. Youngsters love to dress up as monsters, beloved television characters or superheroes in the pursuit of candy, while their parents often enjoy some Halloween fun of their own. Celebrants might not have the environment in mind come Oct. 31, but there are a handful of opportunities for all those participating in Halloween festivities to make their celebrations eco-friendly.

Exchange costumes with neighbors. Rather than buying new costumes each year, parents can save money and help the planet by exchanging costumes. Halloween costumes are typically worn just

In addition, remove any decorations and lighting from the pumpkin, and do not add pumpkins that have been coated in preserving sealant to your compost pile. Halloween might not inspire celebrants to be eco-friendly, but there are ways to have fun and protect the planet at the same time.

Homes in Cottage Lane neighborhood in Lake Elsinore are selling Courtesy photo from Frontier Communities.

LAKE ELSINORE – Homebuyers looking for an elegant home are finding the right value at Cottage Lane, which is driving up demand for these new, affordable homes. The community features three floor plans that are perfect for families

of all sizes. Homebuyers will find downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms as well as large lofts perfect for play. The two-story homes of 1,893 to 2,466 square feet offer up to five bedrooms, up to three baths and side-by-side, two-car garages.

Pricing at Cottage Lane begins in the mid $300,000s. Homes are selling quickly, so make sure to tour the models before the opportunity to own a spacious home disappears. “With every new community we build, we strive to offer homebuyers the best choices for their families,” Mark Hicks, vice president of sales and marketing for Frontier Communities, said. “We design our kitchens to be the heart of the home and our neighborhoods with a variety of architectural styles, such as Spanish, Craftsman or Cottage – to give a brand-new community like Cottage Lane a charming sense of place that will get even better over time.” The three distinctive home designs feature large family rooms or great rooms, kitchens with casual dining bars, large pantries and plenty of storage. Some plans offer bedroom options that allow buyers to increase their bedrooms up to five. Select designs feature

a downstairs bedroom and bath to assure that multi-generation families can enjoy life together. Master suites offer large bedroom areas and baths with tub and separate shower, plus large walk-in closets. Close to the neighborhood, public schools include Withrow Elementary, Terra Cotta Middle School and Lakeside High School, which are all part of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District.

The Diamond baseball field offers a season of exciting Lake Elsinore Storm home games, and the rain-replenished lake is a great destination for boating, fishing and lake sports.

The home inspector may not find everything, so be aware Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

It should be obvious to every new homebuyer that the home they are buying should be inspected so that there are no repair surprises. Homebuyers want to know that their prospective new home has been properly maintained and that there are no hidden issues. No one wants to move into a home with major repair or maintenance surprises. It’s unfortunate though that not all home inspections are perfect and some issues may go unnoticed before the close of escrow. You must realize that even the best of home inspectors is only going to be able to identify so many issues in the limited time they spend in the home, which typically will be three to four hours. Sometimes, the missed issues may be attributed to the inspector’s abilities, and other times, the inspector may miss things because issues were hidden – perhaps the home was full of furniture, and the inspector could not gain access to everything they normally would. The purpose of this article is not to bash home inspectors or to advise homebuyers on how to find a good one. Rather, it is to help the reader be aware of potential issues that may go unreported in a home inspection. Some common issues can be missed during a home inspection related to the basic systems of the home. Inspect the air conditioner or heater. HVAC systems can keep on going for years and years without a problem, and suddenly, without notice, they can just stop working. Typically, the home inspector will just verify that it is working at the time of the inspection and is probably not qualified to complete an analysis of the entire HVAC system. For people buying an older home, be should be prepared for potential future problems, especially if the seller has not kept up on the maintenance to the HVAC system. Watch for a cracked heater exchange. If the home is 10 years

or older, it may be worth the investment to have the HVAC system completely inspected by a qualified HVAC professional. Without the proper equipment and expertise, the inspector may not see that the heater exchanger may be leaking carbon monoxide into the home – a potentially hazardous situation. Plumbing issues can crop up. While the home inspector will check the water and drain system for functionality, they may not be able to detect a partial blockage or pipe damage. While the home inspector can easily determine what type of pipe system the home has, its age and any potential problems caused by tree roots, certain issues will require specialized equipment that the home inspector will not likely have available. It’s possible that the new homeowner will discover issues with the plumbing after they’ve moved in. Electrical issues can be hidden. The home inspector will identify any obvious issues found during their brief home inspection. Most of their findings will be through a visual inspection, and they should be able to identify issues such as an ungrounded outlet or identifying double-tapped breakers. If there is a malfunction to another component of the home caused by electrical issue, realize that to keep the inspection affordable the home inspector can only spend so much time. For a true understanding of the entire electrical system, it is advisable to hire a licensed electrician. Next, a home inspector will check the chimney for cracks and deterioration of the bricks and mortar – both inside the home and outside. They will look up inside the chimney to see if there is any build up of excessive soot. If the home has experienced a fire or seismic event, considering having a more detailed chimney inspection done by the appropriate professional. While the home inspector may be able to identify many structural issues, such as a cracked foundation or problems with the roof, which can be some of the most expensive problems to deal with, if a problem is detected, a structural

engineer should be brought in to determine how to cure the situation and help budget the fix. Water is perhaps the most detrimental force in nature and in the home. Water leaks – either from plumbing or from outside the home – can create all sorts of issues including mold infestation and structural degradation. It is important to have a well-maintained home that is sealed against the elements. The problem with a home inspection is that if the home has been vacant for a long time or if it has been very dry for a long time, there may be no telltale signs visible to the home inspector, and the prospective buyer will never know about a water leak until there is a significant amount of rain. These are some of the most common issues that arise after a home inspection. It is important that homebuyers remember that no one is perfect. Be assured that the home inspector is not going to purposely cover up a problem.

It’s important for to keep in mind that with home inspectors, like all professionals, some are better than others. Most good realtors will be able to offer buyers the names of two or three respected home inspectors that they have worked with before. It’s up to the homebuyer to do their due diligence and make the decision that is right for them. It is best to avoid a home inspector provided by the home seller. Also, the buyer’s agent should not provide only one suggested home inspector. In this sue-happy society, if there is only one recommendation offered and something shows up after the purchase, it’s very likely that there will be lawsuits filed. Should the agent attend the home inspection? There is not a legal requirement for either agent to attend the home inspection. It does not mean that most good real estate agents or their personal representative will

be not there. The real estate home inspection is one of the most important hurdles to overcome in the purchase of a home, and it is my opinion that all real estate agents should attend all home inspections. It is such a vital component of the process. The home inspector will have significant impact on the sale, based on what they say during and after the inspection. It only makes sense that everyone involved is there, including the buyer, the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent. Yet, every home inspector will say that frequently it is just the home inspector and the buyer running through the home with no real estate agent anywhere to be found. A real estate agent’s job is to be an advocate for their client, and therefore, I recommend that they should be at the inspection to represent their client. Some realtors will follow the inspector every step of the way, and others may sit silently in the background waiting for the exit briefing to answer any questions their client may have – both approaches are all right and are up to the agent, but they should be there. This opinion applies to both the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent. Consider that most real estate transactions fall apart for some sort of issue. Sellers should do whatever it takes to prepare the home for inspection before the inspection taking place. Call and get the information needed to make the right decision.

Rose care includes checking irrigation system Frank Brines ARS MASTER CONSULTING ROSARIAN

It looks like we are back to a period of more normal temperatures for this time of year. Santa Ana winds could show up anytime now, so homeowners should make sure to check the irrigation system after summer conditions ease. Roses should be actively recovering from the light fall pruning. Last month, I gave illustrations and descriptions for midseason pruning with a suggested timeline for pruning and restarting a feeding program. What may not have been clear is that this is a light pruning and must be carefully calibrated with the weather conditions. Specifically, when temperatures remain in the 90plus range, you must take care to not remove too much foliage because it can overexpose canes to the fierce sun and sunburn them. Sunburn can damage or kill otherwise healthy canes or even the entire plant. If you’re planning to have roses for a special occasion later this year, it will take hybrid teas six to eight weeks from this pruning and feeding to produce them. Floribundas and miniatures will take a little less time. This cycle of bloom is the second best of the season and is necessary to achieve maximum potential. Exhibitors are pruning and planning in order to time blooms for the fall shows in the area and in Arizona. The Orange County Rose Society fall show is Oct. 28. After pruning restart a feeding program. Make sure the plants are watered the day before. I recommend organic types and alternating with fish emulsions. Use a fertilizer that contains greater percentage of

AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE

phosphate in relation to nitrogen and potassium. This ratio will assist the resistance to any stress and encourage stronger root systems. If temperatures are in 90s or above and you do not use organic products, hold off fertilizing until the weather cools. If you use a fertilizer that is first dissolved in water, apply it right over the bush from top to bottom. A hybrid tea would need about 2 gallons of solution and should be watered in after a couple of days. If you use a dry granular product, be sure to scratch it into the soil surface around the base of the plant to drip line and water it in. Apply in the concentration recommended on label; if growing in pots, use half the recommended amount, but apply it more frequently. Repeat the applications every two weeks. The last date for fertilizing is 30 days before the frost date, in this area that is around mid-November. When temperatures continue to be in the 90s, it is necessary to ensure plants receive adequate water to stay hydrated. It takes only a few days in these temperatures without sufficient water for a bush to become seriously stressed and even damaged. I suggest that with 3 gallons of water per hybrid tea twice per week, the rose bush can survive. A layer of 4 inches of mulch will greatly reduce evaporation of soil moisture. This year the soil dries out more quickly than in previous years due to less water being applied as in previous years and in general, the dryer soil environment. With potted roses, this issue is even more critical. Assess conditions every morning. Look for wilted or dry, crispy foliage. If you discover it soon enough, dousing with plenty of water may save the

plant. If you wait to inspect until the afternoon or evening, it may be too late or you might not get a good assessment of the plant’s condition. After a hot day, most plants can appear wilted while still receiving sufficient hydration. Also, inspect your irrigation system to make sure it is delivering enough water, it isn’t clogged and it isn’t overwatering – all problems that come with age in drip irrigation systems. If an emitter is delivering much more or much less water than others on the line, it can change the system pressure and affect the other emitters. The simple solution is to replace it. If a clay pot is used, more water is needed as the clay will absorb moisture from the potting soil and evaporate through the porous clay material. Plastic pots are better as they will not absorb moisture from the soil. Another possible problem with potted plants is the soil can pull away from the sides of the pot and water will just run through and out the drain holes in the bottom. This problem can be corrected by pressing the soil back against the inside sides of the pot when the soil is wet. Most people use black plastic pots as containers, these pots tend to heat the soil in them from the sunshine, giving an added reason to check these plants frequently for soil pulled away from the sides and damaged roots from the heat. Ideally these pots should be placed in another larger one for some insulation. It’s not too early to start thinking about which roses you will remove and their replacements. Very few suppliers have catalogs any longer, but most should have online catalogs. If you haven’t mulched

Police protection should not be a difficult decision for city of Menifee Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The story “Menifee City Council ponders police protection issues,” in the Oct. 13 edition of Valley News covers the recent Menifee City Council workshop on the benefits the city would reap should it choose to establish its own police department. Cost savings to the tune of more than $44 million over the next five years, an increase of 26 sworn officers and a near doubling of the total number of staff for the proposed department have me believing this decision should be a no-brainer. According to Tom Hicks with the law firm of Hicks, Maineri and Williams, the cost to Menifee for the contract with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for services is $17,254,000 for fiscal year 20172018 of the city’s total general fund

operating budget payable to the sheriff’s department. Increasing fees that comes with contracting with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has made this option for police protection unsustainable for all local cities, not just Menifee. Just take a look at these numbers from Lake Elsinore and Temecula. In Lake Elsinore, the city’s adopted 2017-2018 fiscal year budget shows just over $13 million or just under 29 percent of the city’s total general fund operating budget of $44.5 million being paid for police services, also to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. In Temecula’s 2017-2018 fiscal year budget, the city will pay $33.6 million for their contract with the county for police services or roughly 45 percent of the city’s total general fund operating expenditures

of $73.7. These three cities alone are paying $63.8 million of the sheriff’s $654.6 million budget. The cities of Wildomar and San Jacinto also contract with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for their police services. In fiscal year 2015-2016, the most recent budget available online, the city of Wildomar paid $2.76 million while San Jacinto paid $9.93 million for services. The assumption would be that those rates have increased as well. In May, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved Sheriff Stan Sniff’s request to hike the rates charged to 17 municipalities and other contract entities for the use of patrol deputies, making the hike retroactive to July 1, 2016. Sniff said the increase was needed to recoup higher operational costs

incurred by the sheriff’s department. Under the revised rate schedule, the cost of a sheriff’s patrol deputy rose from $160.22 to $168.45 per hour – a 5.14 percent jump from the previous fiscal year. The board also directed that nine cities pay increased sums for the sheriff’s use of facilities dedicated to servicing the communities. In September, the supervisors adopted the county’s $5.5 billion budget as well as approved an additional $7.9 million in appropriations for the sheriff’s department. The allocation will bring the total amount set aside to reduce some of Sniff’s red ink to about $18 million. Even with that money, the sheriff is still facing a $30 million hole by the end of 2017-2018, Valley News reported in the story, “Board formally adopts county budget,” which ran in the Oct. 6 edition.

Keep all this in mind as I go back to the story that ran in last week’s Valley News. During the Oct. 4 Menifee City Council meeting, Hicks told the group that the cost savings is simple. Adding in the cost of the buildings and all the other issues that goes along with the contract the city has with the sheriff’s department, the actual hourly cost per officer is $181. If the city starts its own department, the hourly cost per hour for each officer goes down to only $58, Hicks said. The cost includes increasing patrols, the number of officers on the street and beefing up every other aspect of the department to keep residents safe. I would imagine as other local cities begin to do their own studies, they would find much of the same. So, I must ask, where is the problem in that?

Temecula Council to seek help to fix Interstate 15 gridlock conditions: ‘We can’t pour enough concrete’ Dear Editor, Just wanted to comment on Tim O’Leary’s fine article, “Temecula Council to seek help to fix Interstate 15 Gridlock Conditions,” in the Oct. 6-12 issue of Valley News but... we really need to make Mayor Maryann Edwards and Councilman Mike Naggar aware that pouring more concrete to widen I-15 from Fallbrook to Lake Elsinore is not going to fix the problem of gridlock that occurs two times a day in Temecula. We need a higher-level approach to thinking and offer alternatives

to the commuters that are passing through their fair city and causing much of the traffic problems. Once upon a time, the California Southern Railroad, which was absorbed by the Santa Fe Railroad, had constructed a main line that ran from Riverside, south through Perris and down through Lake Elsinore, Temecula, Fallbrook and through Camp Pendleton before connecting with the “Surf Line” north of Oceanside. The good news is that just last year the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority reinstituted passenger service on

the 91 Perris Valley Line, ending rail service in south Perris. Most of the right of way is still there. If we could get North County Transit in San Diego to work with LA Metro, maybe we could get some feasibility studies going to offer commuter rail from Riverside to San Diego, where every day thousands of Californians must drive, since they have no other choices. I know that North County Transit is studying a station stop at Camp Pendleton, as it is a large employer in the area. The right of way of the old rail line went through the base

in a canyon in a northwest direction up toward Bonsall and Fallbrook. The right of way got washed out in the early 1900s, but you cross over it on the Interstate 215 at River Canyon Road. As most of you know, there is a reverse commute at work here with San Diegans commuting north to work every day, while Riverside County residents head south. Frequent service in both directions would go a long way to taking hundreds of cars a day off I-15. I lived in Atlanta from 1980 to 1983 and watched them widen

the I-75/I-85 corridor from six lanes to 12 lanes. It destroyed neighborhoods, and the freeway is still a parking lot. You are talking millions and millions of dollars to widen the road, which the highway lobby would love to see. Instead, consider rebuilding what used to be the main line to San Diego. It makes all the sense in the world. Think about how much traffic would be taken off your roads. Chris Johnson San Marcos, California

been for tribes to annex land between their reservations and nearby water districts. This is a costly, time-consuming process involving federal, state and local governments that impose regulations infringing on tribal sovereignty. AB 1361 requires agencies such as the Local Agency Formation Commission to impose conditions on the extension of water services to reservations similar to those imposed on other agencies without discrimination. The bill’s local sup-

porters include the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians, the San Luis Rey Indian Water Authority, the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation along with local water agencies including the Valley Center Municipal Water District, the San Diego County Water Authority, the city of Escondido and the Vista Irrigation District. Over 100 federally recognized Indian tribes lie within the state of California, and obtaining a secure supply of water has been a longstanding issue. Since eight separate

reservations are located within the 75th Assembly District, I am very pleased to report that AB 1361 has just been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Water secured for tribal lands Assemblywoman Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Indian tribes in our arid region need access to reliable water to continue to live on reservation lands. This session, I jointly wrote Assembly Bill 1361 with Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia, D – Coachella, to streamline water deliveries to Indian reservations throughout California. The bill allows water districts to enter into voluntary agreements with

sovereign Indian tribal governments with reservations that lie outside water district boundaries to provide water to the reservations without requiring tribes to annex additional land as they must do now. We live in a desert environment, and water availability is a paramount issue which can be doubly true for many Indian reservations that are often located in remote areas without easy access to potable water. Until now, the only remedy has

Foul play suspected in death of National City woman whose body was found in Temecula TEMECULA – Foul play is suspected in the death of a 30-year-old woman who was missing for two weeks before being found dead, police said Friday, Oct. 13. The body of Alexandria Nicole Smith was found in a remote wooden area about noon, Thursday, Oct. 12. National City police detectives got leads in the missing person case that led them to the location just off Pala Road in Temecula, police Lt.

Graham Young said. Smith lived with her family in National City and was last seen on the evening of Oct. 2, Graham said. He said the cause of death remains under investigation, but homicide is suspected. He added that there are several persons of interest related to the case, but no arrests have been made.

Pedestrian struck, killed on Interstate 15 LAKE ELSINORE – A 30-yearold man was run over and killed Tuesday, Oct. 16, when he darted into traffic on Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore, authorities said. The fatality happened just before 2 a.m. on southbound I-15, north of Main Street, according to the California Highway Patrol. The pedestrian, a Lake Elsinore resident whose name was not immediately released, was walking along the shoulder of the freeway Sudoku answers from page C-4

when he abruptly ran into traffic, going east as though trying to make it to the northbound side of I-15, the CHP reported. Roy Pittman, 45, of San Bernardino was at the wheel of a tractor-trailer going southbound at roughly 60 mph and had virtually no time to swerve or stop before impacting the pedestrian, whose body was flung back onto the shoulder, according to the CHP. Pittman was not injured and

immediately stopped to call 911. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics 10 minutes later, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

Firefighters rescue injured hang glider pilot LAKE ELSINORE – Firefighters rescued an injured hang glider pilot from a hard-to-reach spot with the aid of a helicopter, Sunday, Oct. 15. The injury was reported at 12:57 p.m. near state Route 74, the Ortega Highway, and Main Divide Road in an unincorporated area east of Lake Elsinore in the Mount San Jacinto State Park, Tawny Cabral of the Riverside County Fire Department said. Firefighters hiked to the victim’s location about a mile from the roadway and used a helicopter to take the injured pilot to an awaiting ambulance, she said. The victim was hospitalized with minor injuries.
