Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News A crowd of more than 10,000 people clad in various shades of pink took to the streets in Temecula for the 16th annual Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure on Oct. 19. At 9 a.m. the 5K run/walk be-

Murrieta Mayor Alan Long announced his resignation during a press conference held at Murrieta City Hall Monday, Oct. 20, citing distractions from the recent accident and DUI allegations against him and concern for the city as the reasons for stepping down. Long stood before a crowd of about 30 reporters, cameras and citizens and gave his verbal resignation saying that he was aware of the distractions that the high-profile accident put on the city. “I am well aware that being involved in such a high profile accident and my position as mayor and as a member of city council will be a distraction. Because I love and care for this city and community, I cannot in good conscience allow that to continue. Therefore, effective immediately, I am resigning as your mayor and as a member of the council for this current term,” Long said. The embattled former mayor is no stranger to controversy, making
national headlines in late June and early July when he took a tough stance on immigration laws and the busing of illegal immigrants to Murrieta for processing that resulted in protests at the Murrieta Border Patrol Detention Center. During the press conference Monday, Long said his stepping down would prevent any improprieties in the investigation of the crash that injured four Murrieta Valley High School students on Thursday, Oct. 16. Long did not go into specifics of the accident but did express concern for the victims. “But I do want to express once again my concern for the wellbeing of those injured in the accident and how sorry I am that it occurred.” Long was booked on suspicion of DUI following the accident, but according to a press release issued by his attorney Virginia M. Blumenthal on Friday, his blood alcohol was well below the legal limit. A field sobriety test was conducted at the scene and according

Murrieta’s second annual Rod Run held Oct. 17 - 18 was a big success. Event organizers estimate 20,000 visitors flocked to downtown Murrieta to check under the hood and admire the craftsmanship of classic car owners from around Southern California. This year, visitors had more than 450 cars to view over the two-day event. Festivities kicked off with engines purring or revving on a Friday Night Cruise through Old Town Murrieta. On Saturday, the cars lined up along a five-block stretch of Washington Avenue for the Show and Shine. Murrieta is only in its second year of hosting a Rod Run and already is catching up in popularity with neighboring Temecula, which has held Rod Runs for years. In March, Temecula had close to 700 cars registered for viewing and competing in awards. Pat Vesey, the founder of the Drifters Car Club of Southern California, used to help with the Tem-

ecula Rod Run and now is helping Murrieta’s grow. The Rod Run also helps raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County. Murrieta resident Gary Greene with Axle Draggers enjoyed Saturday afternoon talking to friends and making new ones over his candy apple red 1929 Ford Roadster. Axle Draggers is a car club with 470 members. Greene jokes that his roadster is a Mustang in disguise, “I put a 302 Mustang engine in this vehicle, and it has a five-speed 1988 Mustang transmission, a Mustang rear end and a Mustang front clip.” In 1929, Greene’s roadster ran on four cylinders; today it runs on eight and has two mufflers. “I get about 18 miles to the gallon,” said Greene, who built most of the roadster in his garage. Liz Cissell from Temecula is a single woman and proud classic car owner. “I am one of the few women owners. When people see me out cleaning my car, I get comments about what a good wife I am doing

Christopher Lamont Robinson of Perris was arrested at residence in the 300 block of E. San Jacinto Avenue in Perris after officers conducted a weeks-long investigation into a non-fatal shooting that happened on Thursday, Sept. 11 in the 100 block of Punta Prieta Drive Perris.

Felon accused in home invasion robbery to stand trial MURRIETA - A convicted felon accused of robbing a Temecula homeowner at gunpoint must stand trial on kidnapping to commit robbery and other charges, a judge ruled today. Stephen Richard Sethman, 40, of Temecula was arrested in August after he allegedly forced his way into a home, locked the occupant in a room and ransacked the residence. Following an hourlong preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Mandio found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial and scheduled a post- preliminary

hearing arraignment in the case for Nov. 3. Along with the kidnapping count, Sethman is charged with robbery, burglary and sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. The defendant, who is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center, could face life in prison if convicted. Sheriff’s officials allege that Sethman confronted a resident in the 47000 block of Shady Oaks Lane the morning of Aug. 25, threatening the victim with a smallcaliber revolver before pushing him inside the house. The homeowner, identified only as man in his 60s, was hustled into
a windowless bathroom, where Sethman allegedly held him by securing the doorknob with a piece of television cable. Sethman stole $200, a computer monitor, a jar full of coins and other odds and ends before fleeing the scene in a dark-colored vehicle, prosecutors allege. Based on information from the victim and evidence collected at the location, investigators identified Sethman, who was arrested without incident at his home on Bridgeview Circle three days later. Court records indicate Sethman has prior convictions for which he served time in prison, though none of the felonies were specified.

Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News Sun City resident Marcelle Meszar celebrated her 100th birthday on Oct. 19 with a small gathering of friends and family at the Sun City Family Restaurant. An early afternoon party in the restaurant’s back room was hosted for Meszar by her friend and Private Fiduciary P.J. Robertson. Robertson decorated the party space with a festive “Happy 100th Birthday” sign and cheerful floral arrangements. Guests enjoyed cupcakes and Meszar was gifted with a small sugar-free chocolate cake made especially for her. The birthday girl ate a slice of the cake, which was adorned with beautiful red roses, and said it was delicious. When asked if she ever thought she’d live to be so old, Meszar responded no. “I don’t feel like 100. I feel like a young girl inside,” she said. She doesn’t know why she’s lived so long. “I believe in good health and maybe that had something to do with it,” she said. She and her late husband Joseph Meszar, a retired judge, led active lives and exercised a lot. He died at 92 from natural causes in 2005. They were married for 57 years. Meszar’s nephew John Pohl travelled from Arizona to attend the party with his wife Lauren Pohl. He said his aunt, who didn’t have children, was like a second mother to him when he was growing up in Indiana. Meszar, a former teacher, lived in Indiana and Illinois before moving to California. Pohl shared fond memories of his aunt and recalled that she was a good cook. “We had some great Thanksgivings at her house,” he said. Pohl thinks his aunt’s clean living and love for exercise helped her reach the 100-year milestone. “I understand that she swam here every day in her younger years so that’s what I guess kept her heart

good,” he said. Meszar and her husband moved to Sun City in 1980 and joined the Sun City Bike Club to meet people. They also enjoyed swimming at the Sun City Civic Association pool, according to Robertson. “Up until last year, Marcelle often went swimming,” Robertson said. “This year one of her favorite activities was to go sit by the pool and watch people swim and do exercises.” Meszar, who stopped biking years ago, still attended the bike club’s meetings to socialize until a few months ago. “She is still a member of the bike club and just stopped going to the Good Times Club this year,” Robertson said. “She liked going to the Good Times Club to play bingo. She has many friends there. Everyone knows Marcelle.” “I think almost everyone in Sun City knows her,” commented Barbara Schmidt, who came to the party with her mother Rose Schmidt. Until seven months ago, Meszar
had been living on her own in her house with just Robertson and neighbors helping her. Now she has four around-the-clock caregivers helping her. “It’s just not a good idea for her to be alone anymore,” Robertson said. “She’s diabetic and she loves her sweets so we need someone to monitor her blood sugar.” Terry Brown, one of her caregivers, said that Meszar has slowed down in recent months. She used to visit friends at the pool, shop at Von’s and eat lunch at the Sun City Family Restaurant every day. “Right now she’s staying at home and resting,” Brown said. Bike club members Roberto Carrillo and his wife Virginia Carrillo attended the party to say happy birthday to their friend Meszar and wish her well. “She’s an inspiration to everybody,” Roberto Carrillo said.

While Long has stepped down for the remainder of the term, he will continue to seek re-election and made the fact that he was not withdrawing from the midterm election very clear. “Once the legal process is complete, I feel I will be exonerated and therefore see no reason why
I should not seek re-election,” he said. Long said it has been his honor to serve the people of Murrieta over the past four years.

Valley-area schools, businesses participate in Great ShakeOut
Day Middle School in Temecula performs an emergency fire drill immediately following the “Great ShakeOut” drill. Shane Gibson photo
Alex Groves Staff Writer Disaster preparedness and safety took center stage at multiple schools and offices throughout Riverside County as part of the Great ShakeOut, a day dedicated to making sure people know the proper procedure in case of an earthquake. Valley area schools participated
in the event, getting under desks at the sound of a bell and waiting until the drill was over. Vista Murrieta High School took things one step further. In addition to a standardized earthquake drill, the school also evacuated hundreds of students in orderly lines and had them wait in a student parking lot for approximately 10 minutes to simulate what would need to happen in the case of an actual

evacuation. Steve Rausa, Dean of Students at Vista Murrieta, said he has been part of this event every year since he started at the school approximately six years ago. He said the event is a good opportunity for students to refresh themselves on proper earthquake procedure. “We are mandated to do six drills a year,” Rausa said. “Two earthquake, two lockdown and two full evacuations. Every year we get involved and what we do is combine the two drills in one; we have the Great ShakeOut – where we review the drills, procedures and protocols – and then we do a full school evacuation.” Rausa said that he finds the events to be particularly important because student safety is one of his primary concerns as the Dean of Students for the high school. He said any chance the school has to educate and inform students of proper procedure can only be beneficial. Rausa said he and others have tried to find innovative and unique ways to engage students and get them interested in the drill. The event has changed and grown over time as a result of that. “One year we had students who were pretending to be critically injured, and we had to do a full search and rescue mission,” Rausa said. “Other years we’ve had the drama department dressed up with makeup, and again another search and rescue took place.” “This year it’s a little more lowkey,” he added. “We’re just going to have the duck and cover and procedures followed by a full evacuation so the kids know where to go, since this is our first evacuation for the school year.” Rausa said he did face some challenges in putting the event together. He said communication can sometimes be difficult in a school as big as VMHS. “Getting 300 employees and staff members on the same page and shoring up any loose ends which may be out there [can be difficult],” he said. “But our kids do a great job.” Rausa said he’s seen a lot of enthusiasm from students about the drills. Some students have told him that they were happy the drill took place because they didn’t know exactly what they were supposed to do, or where they were supposed to go prior to the drill. But, after the drill takes place, students tend to be more aware of their surroundings and more prepared for the possibility of a quake or other incident. “They all of a sudden notice the bright posters on the wall that show them evacuation sites,” he said. “It increases their awareness.” Several students on campus said they appreciated Rausa’s efforts to inform students on protocol. “Rausa keeps us safe,” said Tariq Asaad, a student at the school.

Earthquake safety: before, during and after MENIFEE - In the event of an earthquake, there are multiple things you can do to protect yourself, your family and your property. The following tips have been provided by the Menifee Chamber of Commerce to ensure safety and wellbeing. Before an earthquake To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Fasten shelves securely to walls, place large or heavy objects on lower shelves, and store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass, and china in low, closed cabinets with latches. Fasten heavy items such as pictures and mirrors securely to walls and away from beds, couches and anywhere people sit. Brace overhead light fixtures and top heavy objects. Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks. Get appropriate professional help. Do not work with gas or electrical lines yourself. Install flexible pipe fittings to avoid gas or water leaks. Flexible fittings are more resistant to breakage. Secure your water heater, refrigerator, furnace and gas appliances by strapping them to the wall studs and bolting to the floor. If recommended by your gas company, have an automatic gas shut-off valve installed that is triggered by strong vibrations. Repair any deep cracks in ceilings or foundations. Get expert advice if there are signs of structural defects. Be sure the residence is firmly anchored to its foundation. Store weed killers, pesticides and flammable products securely in closed cabinets with latches, and on bottom shelves. Locate safe spots in each room under a sturdy table or against an inside wall. Reinforce this information by moving to these places during each drill. Hold earthquake drills with your family members: drop, cover and hold on. During an earthquake Drop, cover and hold on. Minimize your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place and if you are indoors, stay there until the shaking has stopped and you are sure exiting is safe. If indoors: Drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light
fixture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place. Do not use a doorway except if you know it is a strongly supported, load-bearing doorway and it is close to you. Many inside doorways are lightly constructed and do not offer protection. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Do not exit a building during the shaking. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave. Do not use the elevators. Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on. If outdoors: Stay there. Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, at exits and alongside exterior walls. Many of the 120 fatalities from the 1933 Long Beach earthquake occurred when people ran outside of buildings only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury. Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects. If in a moving vehicle: Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake. If trapped under debris: Do not light a match. Do not move about or kick up dust. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust. After an earthquake When the shaking stops, look around to make sure it is safe to move. Then exit the building. Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Help injured or trapped persons. Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance such as infants, the elderly and people with access and functional needs. Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.

Local ROD RUN from page A-1 this for my husband,” said Cissell, who owns a black 1940 Ford Woodie. “This is my car. I bought this Woodie 20 years ago and had it fixed up over the years,” said Cissell. The Woodie has light maple doors, a maple interior roof and is for sale. “I am going to miss this car; it was fun. My grandkids loved it when I picked them up from school. I love driving the car more than parking,” said Cissell, who is selling the Woodie for $125,000. Parents and children were able to enjoy the Rod Run even if they were not car enthusiasts. Local merchants opened their doors for visitors to shop and restaurants were open overflowing with diners.

Local RACE from page A-1 Newton-John told the Valley News she was thrilled with the turnout and weather, “I love Temecula, this is not my first time here. I have friends here who I visit.” Walking ahead of the NewtonJohn team was Mikie Jones, a mom of two, who works for the Menifee Unified School District. Jones has a grandmother and aunt who suffered from breast cancer. “I came here to support my family hoping we can find a cure,” said Jones, pushing her children in a stroller. Robin Hutchinson from Murrieta has been walking in the Race for a Cure in Temecula for ten years. “I started as a supporter of those with breast cancer and seven years ago I was diagnosed with the disease,” said Hutchinson. Hutchinson said the Race for a Cure has become even more meaningful to her and her family now that she has become a breast cancer survivor. “Today is a celebration of my wife for me and our two sons,” said Dan Hutchinson, who was walking with his wife and children. Cheerleaders lined the streets encouraging participants to keep moving. They cheered, “Runners do it now,” and “Do it for the cure.” Amanda Tuccinadi from Temecula walked with her dog Riley, in support of her aunt who was diagnosed a year ago with cancer. “This race is pretty cool. We love seeing what everyone is wearing,” said Tuccinadi. Race participants had fun with pink. Both men and women wore pink tutus, socks, shirts and shorts. People dyed their hair pink; their dogs and kids also sported pink hair. Despite the fun atmosphere and entertaining pink costumes, underneath the smiles and cheers was heartache for those who lost the fight. At the finish line, runners and walkers were seen with
tears in their eyes. The American Cancer Society estimates in 2014 there were 232,570 new cases of invasive breast cancer in the U.S. with 40,000 cancer-caused deaths. Only 62,000 of the new cases of cancer will be found in the early stages. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the U.S., other than skin cancer, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Newton-John had volunteers hand out a breast self-exam kit at the race. The exam kit is a heart shaped simple medical device that women can use every month to perform a correct breast selfexam. More information on the kit can be found at www.oliviakit.com/ about.html. To learn more about Susan G. Komen of the Inland Empire visit, http://komenie.org/.

Local B’nai Chaim hosts Israel’s Consul General for L.A. area Alex Groves Staff Writer Multiple religious leaders and area residents gathered together at Congregation B’nai Chaim to listen to a presentation led by Israel’s Consul General for most of the Southwestern United States. David Siegel, Israel’s Consul General for the greater Los Angeles Area, discussed Israel’s position in the world geopolitically as well as its strong relationship with the United States before an avid audience shortly after 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19. A large group of individuals gathered at the congregation around midday in anticipation of Siegel’s arrival. They ate falafel and desserts and drank coffee in celebration of what is a relatively rare occurrence: the arrival of a Consul General to this region. Siegel was introduced by synagogue president Dick Herschman
and Riverside County Third District Supervisor Jeff Stone. Herschman said he was thrilled by the noticeable turnout of people and to have a speaker like Siegel. “B’nai Chaim is a wonderful synagogue and we’ve been blessed with continued growth in the last three or four months,” Herschman said. “To have a gentleman of this stature come out here and see us, it just confirms that there’s an active, vibrant Jewish community [here].” One of the first topics Siegel discussed was California’s drought. He said Israeli leaders have been meeting with leaders in California to discuss the implementation of technology that could pave the way for drought-fighting measures. “We signed this agreement between Israel and California that relates to fighting the drought together, bringing Israeli technology to California,” Siegel said “Fast tracking it, connecting to

Consul General Siegel speaks about Israel’s perspective on the current situation. Before concluding his talk, he spoke of the many innovative technologies in industrial development. Siegel highlighted Israel’s position as a global leader in water conservation and how the State of Israel will be partnering with California on ways to improve water conservation through harsh droughts.

the innovation centers and doing all that stuff.” Siegel said that the agreement will foster positive results for both California and Israel, two arid regions which frequently find themselves plagued by drought. Siegel pointed to successes already visible in Israel. He said most of the water in some urban districts is mainly from desalination plants on the country’s coast. He said up to 70 percent of the water that comes through faucets in certain areas is desalinated. The Consul General also talked about the recycling of water, a practice he said is much more common in Israel than it is in the United States. In Israel, he said, water used for agricultural purposes is almost always some form of recycled water. But Siegel’s presentation was not just focused on the ways that California and Israel can positively impact one another, but the struggles Israel faces as a democracy flanked by countries which are not. Specifically, Siegel addressed the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, an organization that has carved out a large swath of the Middle East as its own territory. He also talked about the fall of a city in Yemen to a nomadic group from Iran. He said although these tensions are worrisome, Israel has been, and will continue to be, a beacon of democracy in places where that term doesn’t exist. “There’s a banality of the coexistence in Israel, where you have hundreds of thousands of mosques and synagogues and churches, and by and large people get along,” he said. “It’s an incredible story of experiment, of success for a world that should be very hungry for models of success in the Middle East.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com

Coffee with a Cop embraced by local police
An officer chats with a resident over coffee at Coffee with a Cop.
Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News It’s a simple concept — pull up a chair and grab a cup of coffee with a cop. In Temecula on Thursday, Oct. 16, officers from the Temecula Police Department met with local residents at the Coffee Bean for an informal meet and greet. The program is called Coffee with a Cop, and its goal is to offer a neutral space to discuss community issues and build relationships, over coffee. The program is gaining popular-
Michelle Mears-Gerst photo
ity nationwide. In over 175 cities and towns in 36 states, Coffee with a Cop is trying to build community trust, police legitimacy and partnership building. Community members come to a local Coffee with a Cop for a variety of reasons, but no matter why they come to their local event, organizers of the program state residents are likely to leave with a more positive impression of their local law enforcement agency. Captain Jeff Kubel greeted residents at the front door to the Coffee Bean even opening the door for
Temecula Police officers and volunteers who attended the Coffee with a Cop event.
them. “In our line of work we often meet with residents when they are victims of a crime or in a crash; people are usually having a pretty bad day when we meet,” said Kubel. “This is a great event to allow the community and the police to interact in a relaxed environment.” Close to 50 residents came and went during the two to three hour event. Kubel said questions ranged from residents on how to handle a personal issue, mail fraud and teenage issues. Sgt. Joseph Greco, a veteran po-
lice officer of 27 years, said he really liked the event. “I met a 92-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor today and two retired school administrators,” said Greco. “It is refreshing for us officers as well to meet with the public in this manner.” “This is also a great way for younger police officers to meet with the public and try to offer solutions to problems in a positive atmosphere,” said Greco. Sgt. Chris Gaskins was the officer from Temecula who went to the training on how to put together
a Coffee with a Cop event. “We find citizens don’t want to call police about certain questions or head down to the police station,” said Gaskins. “This is very casual, no formal speeches, just stop in and have coffee and talk to us.” Gaskins said the department plans to hold more Coffee with a Cop events because it is not only good for the public but for the officers as well. “It really allows us to think outside the box when meeting with the public peacefully and trying to offer solutions to their quality of life issues,” Gaskins said.
Football player fighting cancer unites rival schools

lacrosse and wrestling. However, in September he began a personal battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Instead of fighting to win on the field or in a gym, Tristan is in the biggest fight of his life at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Tristan’s battle with cancer has ignited a spark of unity with local schools, athletic programs and churches. Children and adults who never met Tristan have begun showing their support by wearing the color orange (the color that represents the fight against Leukemia) and his football number 52. On Friday, Oct. 24, rival football teams from Great Oak and Temecula Valley High School will come together as partners to support Tristan and his family. The rival schools are working as a team to collect donations for Tristan’s medical bills. Football players will be wearing orange stickers on their helmets to honor Tristan and his fight against Leukemia. Both Temecula Valley’s Coach Rick Mey and Great Oak’s Coach Robbie Robinson believe this is a great opportunity for the sister
schools to join forces to help this middle school football player score a touchdown against cancer. “The Temecula Valley High School Football Boosters will be doing a 50/50 raffle the night of the football game, which is at Great Oak,” said Susan Bieber, the secretary of the TVHS Booster Club. “The Great Oak Parent Support group is also going to be raising money as well at the game.” All proceeds will go towards Tristan and his family. The Temecula Valley Pop Warner football league has played against numerous teams this season where opposing teams from Carlsbad and Ramona for example would show their support for Tristan by wearing his number 52 on their arms or hands written in ink. Students from Saint Jeanne’s wore orange ribbons and the money raised by selling the ribbons was sent to Saint Jude’s Children’s
Hospital to help fund research to find a cure for Leukemia. Some of Tristan’s friends have also had the #52 etched into their haircuts at local barbershops and posted the artwork onto Tristan’s Facebook page to show their support to their teammate and friend. A GoFundMe account has been set up to assist the Brockbank family during Tristan’s fight with Leukemia. Donations will be used to pay medical bills, gas, meals, and comfort items, anything that comes along that could help the Brockbank family’s long and difficult journey ahead. “It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,” is a quote on http://www.gofundme. com/pray4tristan52. Tristan’s support page on Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/ groups/169003019958473/.

EARTHQUAKE from page A-4 Look for and extinguish small fires. Fire is the most common hazard after an earthquake. Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency information. Be aware of possible tsunamis if you live in coastal areas. These are
also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called “tidal waves”). When local authorities issue a tsunami warning, assume that a series of dangerous waves is on the way. Stay away from the beach. Use the telephone only for emergency calls. Go to a designated public shelter if your home has been damaged and is no longer

safe. Text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA) to find the nearest shelter in your area (example: shelter 12345). Stay away from damaged areas. Stay away unless your assistance has been specifically requested by police, fire, or relief organizations. Return home only when authorities say it is safe. Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages. After it is determined that it is safe to return, your safety should be your primary priority as you begin clean up and recovery. Open cabinets cautiously. Beware of objects that can fall off shelves. Find out how to keep food safe during and after an emergency
by visiting www.foodsafety.gov/ keep/emergency/index.html. Put on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves to protect against injury from broken objects. Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches, gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the area if you smell gas or fumes from other chemicals. Inspect the entire length of chimneys for damage. Unnoticed damage could lead to a fire. Inspect utilities. Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear blowing or hissing noise, open a window and quickly leave the building. Turn off the gas at the outside main valve if you can and call the gas company from a neighbor’s home. If you turn
off the gas for any reason, it must be turned back on by a professional. Look for electrical system damage. If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if you smell hot insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call an electrician first for advice. Check for sewage and water lines damage. If you suspect sewage lines are damaged, avoid using the toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap. You can obtain safe water by melting ice cubes.

Local Company stays focused on baby boomers to find the right healthcare
If you’re approaching 65, and have already enrolled in Medicare, there are representatives at Your Health Options that can help you make the right choice about what healthcare is right for you. Your Heath Options is focused on helping the baby boomer generation. It is an insurance brokerage company that works with seven different health plan companies. Your Health Options serves Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Your Health Care Options is unique in the sense that they sit down with the Medicare beneficiaries and help them find the plan that is best for them without the hard pressure sale. They offer educational seminars or in-home appointments when it’s most convenient to you to explain your options. Your Health Options takes their time, they look at the benefits of the individual and they make sure their medicines are covered, and that their doctors are covered in their network. Your Health Care Options help people make a choice that is based on their individual needs. “I love my job because I feel like I’m helping people. When I meet with them face-to-face or at one of my seminars, I explain their health care options clearly and easily,” said
Robin Bartley, a licensed insurance agent from Your Health Options. Bartley brings her knowledge to the meetings, not just from the health plan side, but because she also has information about doctors; she has also built relationships with many of the doctors. Understanding Medicare is complicated but when an individual goes to one of the community seminars, or if they sit down with one of their account executives, they help them to understand exactly how it works. “Medicare choices can be complex, and we try to simplify it so they can make a decision based on their needs,” said Bartley. Now until Dec. 7, which is their busiest time of the year, is the time every year that Medicare gives beneficiaries the ability to compare plans and make changes if they would like to change their plan. If a change isn’t made by Dec. 7, they’re re-enrolled into their existing plan for another year. There are community meetings all year-round. “There are a lot of representatives out there that just focus on the busy season,” Bartley said. Your Health Care Options is licensed by the State of California. For more information visit: www. SmartMedicareChoices.com

What’s your opinion on the Ebola crisis and how the CDC is handling it?
Charles Brinkley, 73 Romoland resident Retired “I think the CDC is handling it okay. There are some things not under their control. I think they’re doing as much as they can and there’s no perfect solution. I believe funding has something to do with it. Every agency is under a funding moratorium.”
Martha Jo Peters, 68 Lake Elsinore resident Retired “They should have sent Duncan back to Africa and quarantined him there. Why did they not immediately confine the problem? That’s what you do in a situation like this. You try to keep it where it began. Our government doesn’t know what the hell it’s doing.”
Tony Ony, 38 Menifee resident Active military “I don’t think they’re doing a wonderful job. They could do better. They let the nurse fly and there’s another healthcare worker on a cruise ship now. They should improve the protocol again.”
Sally Howard, 75 Sun City resident Friends of the Sun City Library volunteer “My granddaughter’s husband is going over to Africa to set up hospitals and take care of the sick and they just had a baby. I’m scared for him. He’s a medical technician in the Navy. He’s one of 6,000 they’re sending.”
Delfino Osorio, Jr., 21 Menifee resident MSJC student “I think they’re doing what they can. Their best efforts. I heard about a possible case in LA County and I was kinda frightened, but if it comes here, it comes here. It was just a rumor. At least, I hope it’s just a rumor.” Laura Rathbun photos

Vote yes on Measure AA to help our MSJC students and veterans
Joan Sparkman Retired Bank Executive, Former MSJC Board President, Current MSJC Foundation Board Member, Current local Hospital Board Member Rick Hoffman President Riverside Lincoln Club, Lake Hemet Municipal Water District Board Member, Delegate Riverside County Republican Party A Yes on Measure AA is a yes for our veterans, our students, our prosperity and our future. Measure AA, the Mt. San Jacinto College Affordable Education and Job Training Measure, will help MSJC modernize existing campuses and build the facilities we need to provide our region with the affordable higher education it needs. Mt. San Jacinto College has been serving your communities since 1963. The 1,700-squaremile district spans from Temecula/ Murrieta to Lake Elsinore/Perris,
Idyllwild, Hemet/San Jacinto and up to the Pass, including Banning/ Beaumont. It has five locations: Two in Temecula, one in Menifee, another in San Jacinto and one in Banning. MSJC is purchasing a sixth campus in Wildomar. MSJC does not have the classroom space to serve the region’s current needs for higher education. We need Measure AA so MSJC can make improvements and build new facilities to provide more classrooms and labs and to ensure future needs are met. Measure AA includes plans to upgrade each region of the district. Yes on Measure AA means our students will not have to commute far for quality and affordable higher education and job training. Measure AA supports our returning veterans by expanding the services they need to reintegrate with their education and transition into civilian careers. Did you know that MSJC is the ONLY community college in the state with two dedicated Veterans Resource Centers? Did you know that MSJC has been recognized nationally as a Military Friendly School? A Yes on Measure AA means MSJC can continue its support of our veterans. Measure AA provides support and services for all students: from high school to older students and for those seeking to learn new job
Updating privacy laws to reflect 21st century realities Marie Waldron Assemblymember, 75th District Maintaining a sense of personal privacy in an era of surveillance cameras and widespread use of drones and other intrusive technologies can be challenging, to say the least. That’s why I joined with Assemblyman Ed Chau (D - Monterey Park) to introduce Assembly Bill 2306, legislation that reins in the unauthorized use of drones and helps protect our right to privacy. Unmanned aerial vehicles are rapidly gaining popularity and are used for a variety of legitimate purposes such as firefighting and security. However, their growing use increases the possibility that our privacy will be violated, often without our even being aware that it’s happening. Current law defines invasion of privacy when “a visual or auditory

control and ensures NO money will be spent on salaries or pensions. Measure AA will help reduce unemployment and over time will help increase the prosperity of our region. Did you know that communities with higher educational levels attract industry that provide our residents with jobs? Providing resources the college needs for job training program facilities is good for the local economy. Yes on Measure AA means MSJC can build a skilled local workforce that helps to attract businesses with more high paying jobs to our region. Measure AA will: • Double the capacity of classrooms district-wide • Upgrade facilities districtwide • Ensure buildings are accessible for the disabled • Install energy efficient equipment - save the district/taxpayers more than $1 million a year in utilities • Provide science labs. Labs are necessary for the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) classes • Support Workforce Development Programs that prepare
•
students for 21st century careers Support our veterans in retraining for jobs as they transition into civilian life
Yes on Measure AA will reward property owners with a huge return on investment by increasing property values and the quality of life for residents. Did you know higher education is linked to reduced crime rates and reduced dependence on social programs? Did you know higher education is linked to increased volunteerism and voter participation? Did you know that for every $1 California invests in higher education, it receives a $4.50 return on investment? Yes on Measure AA will go a long way to securing the future of our region for generations to come. Perhaps that’s why Measure AA has received a broad base of endorsements, including local chambers, hospital districts, educators, real estate professionals, educators, law enforcement officials, city leaders and more. Join us on Nov. 4 as we say Yes on Measure AA for our veterans, students, prosperity and the future.

enhancing device” attempts to capture an image or sound recording of a person engaged in a personal or familiar activity in which there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. AB 2306 updates existing statutes by inserting the phrase “any device” to ensure that new technologies, including drones, will be covered under the law. Happily, AB 2306 passed both houses of the Legislature with unanimous support, and was signed into law by Governor Brown on Sept. 30. With the implementation of this bipartisan legislation, California’s privacy laws will take a major step toward reflecting today’s high-tech world. While drones may offer many positive societal benefits, this legislation carefully balances those benefits with our constitutional rights to privacy and security. AB 2306 will take effect on Jan. 1, 2015.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN
Home warranty equals peace of mind Paul Bandong Staff Writer Buyers, sellers and their respective agents don’t want to worry about things that break or malfunction in the home after the sale closes. A home warranty policy — for specific systems and items — can give peace of mind to those involved. It can also be a seller benefit to help close a sale or a gift at closing to a buyer by the real estate agent. For more than three decades home warranty companies have provided homeowners and real estate professionals with wide-ranging coverage and service. Before home warranties existed, homes were sold “as is” in California and it was up to the home buyer to make any costly unforeseen future home repairs after the close of escrow. Some of these items may not have been detectable by a simple visual or mechanical inspection, and may have failed as soon as the new homebuyer moved into their newlypurchased home. Other systems or appliances could fail down the road as a result of normal wear and tear. In both of these cases, the new homeowner and the real estate professionals involved faced challenges. The homeowner, of course, had to incur the cost of repair; many times the seller
of the home and his agent were blamed for not fully disclosing the defects even if they were undetectable. In some cases, this would lead to lawsuits. Home warranty plans help with these challenges giving homeowners and real estate agents peace of mind. Approximately 90 percent of real estate transactions in California now include a home warranty plan upon the close of escrow. Home warranty plans are a “go-to” source for these repairs giving the consumer one simple number to call to place claims. The home warranty company then calls a service and repair provider whom they have pre-screened and selected: quality licensed and insured repairmen for all the covered components. The service provider then calls the homeowner to make an appointment to assess and fix the problem. If an appliance is malfunctioning and cannot be repaired — depending upon the contract coverage — the home warranty company will authorize the replacement and installation of the appliance. This process saves homeowners time, money and frustration on many different repairs with a small deductible (trade service fee) typically ranging from $50 - $75 per call, with some

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens All about agaves and aloes
Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello fellow gardeners! For those of you who know me, you know I am a “succulent fanatic” and love to not only collect for myself but incorporate into my designs as well, whenever possible. Succulents are great in the landscape as they are so very drought tolerant, come in so many shapes, colors and sizes, and are undemanding as long as you don’t overwater them. One thing that many people don’t realize though is that many of them are NOT “hardy,” that is they can’t all take freezing temps. So, here in the “Inland Empire” where we usually have many nights below freezing, we must make sure those succulents we DO plant in the

WARRANTY from page B-1 warranty plans not charging at all if a claim is not covered under their policy. If a covered item cannot be repaired due to parts or age, most companies replace with a model of like kind and features. Warranty companies offer tailored plans that fit every need and a team of experts with hands-on experience in servicing clients. Warranty companies go out on average two times per year in claims service for every contract they hold. Home warranty plans are typically prepaid for a year and fairly inexpensive, typically ranging from $250 to $500 for a single-family residence under 5000 square feet, depending upon coverage. Prices reflect coverage as well as a company’s loss history (how often an item breaks down and the cost to repair it). Coverages may vary from company to company (and sometimes

by area and state). Most companies have the same Standard Protection plan, with their main differences in the optional coverage and particularly the upgraded options. Optional and upgraded coverages — and the listed policy limitations — would be the best items to compare apples to apples. It is important to review and understand the service contract — specifically, what is covered and what is not, as well as service fees — in order to avoid later misunderstandings and disappointment. Some claims may be denied, usually due to improper maintenance, code violations, unusual wear and tear, or improper installation. Policy provisions and the service provider assessment will be the determining factors. Most policies are annually renewable and many homeowners choose to pay the annual premium to protect against paying a potentially huge replacement cost of a major item.

Some examples of items that may be covered by a home warranty plan are: electrical systems, inside plumbing, appliances, heating and air conditioning, water heater, roof, pool and spa, septic pumping, as well as code and permit coverage. Plans are available for larger residences and multi-unit properties. Unfortunately, home repairs can be expensive and are often unforeseen. Purchasing a home warranty from a trusted source can bring peace of mind to buyers, sellers, investors, property managers and homeowners in general.

Menifee conserves water, calms traffic, adds new police officer Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News The Cherry Hills Boulevard median just east of Sun City Boulevard and west of Bradley Road will be landscaped with drought tolerant plants. Landscaping work began midOctober on this third of multiple median areas on Cherry Hills Boulevard to be renovated and beautified. The first two median areas were completed in March. Contractors have begun to add drought tolerant trees and shrubs, along with decorative boulders, to beautify the median landscape. A point-to-point drip irrigation system will be installed to conserve water and avoid runoff. Menifee is one of the fastest growing communities in the Inland Empire. There are currently 84,000 people who call Menifee home. Water conservation is important as the city continues to expand. City officials said the eastbound lane next to the median on Cherry Hills Boulevard would be closed during construction, Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Speeds limits will be reduced while lanes are closed. The second eastbound lane along with both westbound lanes will be open to through traffic. All lanes will remain open during the weekends. Traffic delays are not expected but motorists may choose to use Sun City Boulevard or Bradley Road as alternate options to access the Sun City Shopping Center.
Pictured is the median on Cherry Hills Boulevard a little further west from Bradley Road, facing east, which was completed earlier this year. The current project on Cherry Hills Boulevard involves renovating and beautifying the third area on the street and will look similar when completed. City of Menifee photo
“The city is simultaneously beautifying the median while conserving water with a new irrigation system and drought tolerant plants and shrubs,” said Community Services Director Robert Lennox. “Menifee continues to invest in maintenance and beautification projects like this that improve residents’ quality of life while building pride in our community.” The city is also installing four new electronic traffic-calming devices at two locations in an effort to reduce motorist speeds and to provide additional data regarding local traffic. The devices will be used at the following locations: Ridgemoor Road, west of Murrieta Road, Chambers Avenue, between Sun City Boule-
vard and Murrieta Road. The devices can capture data that will be helpful to establish the times of day when motorists are speeding. City Manager Robert Johnson said, “This information will assist city officials in working with the police department to set up rotating traffic calming locations.” Menifee will also have one more traffic officer patrolling the city. The new motorcycle officer was recently approved in the city budget and will start on Oct. 30. The water friendly landscaping project is scheduled for completion in November.

Real Estate / Home & Garden LANDSCAPING from page B-1 ground can survive. I, myself, keep many succulents that aren’t hardy in pots, and just bring them in for the winter – helps preventing death by water also if we get a lot of rain, which hasn’t happened in a while, but you never know! Agaves and many aloes are two succulent species that CAN take freezing temps so I’d like to focus on some very special varieties here this week. Many agaves are natives of California and Mexico, as well as Arizona and the desert Southwest. Aloes are native to South Africa and we have many hybrids now of both agaves and aloes and they have fabulous flowers as well as incredible “leaves” of many colors. Unfortunately once an Agave flowers – it dies – mission accomplished, but, it usually has a dozen or more “pups” or baby plantlets around it to take its place. Aloes, on the other hand, flower year after year, some for a month, some all summer long. Where you want to plant these is in a place with well-draining soil. Amend with compost and sand as needed, clay will not do for succulents. You can certainly mix these plants into a desertscape or simply in a drought-tolerant garden bed, not just cactus and gravel! Aloe ferox – a LARGE aloe, with a central stalk or trunk, up to 8’ high with orange spikes of flowers, 3-4’ spiny bluish leaves. A new hybrid – Aloe dorothea ‘Sunset’– up to 2’ high, and like A. cameronii (starfish aloe) similar in habit in that it turns red in the sun – quite striking! Most aloes will change color when they receive less water and in full sun, it’s just a little warning system, shutting down the chlorophyll. I keep mine just on the “edge” but don’t let them get desiccated or they could suffer. This one has red tubular flowers on long spikes. Aloe striata - ‘Coral Aloe’– 1-2’ in size, beautiful flower spikes in Spring. Aloe vera – this is the medicinal aloe that no home should be without, as with the rest of the gang, can take freezing weather and has beautiful yellow flowers spikes in late winter to summer, gets up to 2’ tall.
One of my personal favorites is Aloe maculata or A. saponaria also known as the “soap aloe,” gorgeous variegated markings on thick toothed succulent leaves with tubular red flowers on stalks – which, by the way, hummingbirds love! This plant will spread a couple of feet, but very manageable in the garden, can take down to 28 degrees. A. Spinossisima – spiny thick leaves grows 2-3’ tall and twice as wide, flowers in mid-winter with dark orange spikes of flowers. A. brevifolia – very striking upright growing aloe with lots of attractive spiky “teeth” on the smaller side, bluish color, pale orange flowers in winter, stays under 2’ tall and wide. Aloe arborescens – aka Candelabra or Torch aloe - a great spreading aloe for covering an area this one gets up to 5’ high and can spread 10’ so give it some room. Winter flowering. Aloe ‘Blue Elf’ – I have this one and just love it. Very bluish slender leaves pointing skyward with peachy colored flowers in early spring on 18” stems. This is a smaller sized plant, only about 1x2’. One last aloe here that I just HAVE to mention and that is A. polyphylla; if you ever see one you’ll have to have one. Hard to describe how these grow, totally unique from all other aloes, the leaves “radiate” in a spiral outward – a rare one, and flowers are there but the main show is just the plant itself, can really take the cold also. There are also many smaller new hybrids out there with amazing colors and textures – usually found at garden centers with pink and peach “teeth” – I’ve got several in pots and they flower on and off all year. I never know who’s going to flower when – kind of a surprise, but a nice one! Ok, let’s move onto agaves now. So many choices! Well, I’ll start with one of my favorites, a hybrid called “Blue Glow” – this agave is just plain GORGEOUS! It’s got very bluish leaves with red edging on them, and to show it off to its best advantage, should be planted so that the sun shines behind it, it highlights the red edging just amazingly! There is another Agave, called “Blue Flame” beautiful, rather waved leaves that curl up at
the tips and lacking the red edging so make sure you get the right one. Agave parryi – aka the Artichoke agave – beautiful smaller agave from our Southwest area and Mexico, very cold tolerant, beautiful grayish blue coloring, black tips on leaves (very sharp!) Only about a foot high and wide so perfect for those smaller areas, or use several together for a very nice effect. A. Victoria-reginae - This is an extremely striking smaller agave, dark green with white edging all around the leaves, another great one for cold and good to plant several together. A. shawii – Shaws agave very deadly looking, but beautiful “teeth” on 1-2’ long leaves, plant gets approx. 3’ across and when it
flowers, watch out! Just incredible. Agave filifera – medium green smaller sized plant with white “strands” or threads that curl outwards over the leaves of the plants. This agave forms “clumps” so give it some room to spread out. Agave Americana – these are the typical agaves people tend to plant, very striking and “architectural” in appearance. I like the variegated varieties with the bluish green and yellow stripes, they produce many “pups” and get fairly large in size – large teeth, so don’t plant near paths, same with most agaves actually. A. colorata – a beautiful 3’ plant with bluish gray leaves imprinted with the teeth of the leaves about to open up on them.
Aloes and agaves in the landscape.
Well, I’m already out of room – I hope I’ve peaked your interest a little bit in trying one or two or three of these beautiful plants. Two nurseries that I go to carry many of these and they are Serra Gardens in Fallbrook – tell Don I sent you, and Waterwise Botanicals on I-395 just South of Hwy. 76. Please feel free to contact me for design work and consultations and don’t forget we’re in a drought and the water district is paying us $2/ sq.ft. to remove lawn and replace with drought tolerant landscaping!

A crash course in Temecula property taxes… and why they appear to be going up Tax Rate). If the homeowner was aggressive with the County and petitioned for a reduction by 200809 tax year they may have gotten the value down to $400,000 and only paid $4,000 in property taxes. The 2009-10 saw further decline in value and the home was re-assessed for $300,000. Then in the 2010-11 tax year, the homeowner was able to petition the County Tax Appeals Board and received another $50,000 reduction reducing their taxable value for half of what they paid for the home and half of the baseline value. Because the economy has been soft through the 2013-14 year, let’s assume the assessed value remained at $250,000. However, the baseline continued to increase. By the 2008-09 tax year, the baseline was $520,200 and $530,604 the following year. By the 2013-14 tax year, the baseline value is now $563,081 and for the new 2014-15 tax year, the baseline value is $574,342. If the County Assessor were to remove all of the temporary reductions and increased the value back
John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Temecula homeowners have been confused lately, when they received their property tax bills from Riverside County Assessor with tax balances much larger than they were last year. Let me explain. Seems like everyone has heard of Proposition 13, or Prop 13 as it is affectionately known. While it seems like only yesterday that progressive California voters passed an initiative which created the first property tax laws of its kind… it was actually back in 1978. Prior to the passing of Prop 13, California property taxes were assessed like they were (and still are) assessed across most of the country – values were assessed every few years (two to five) and the property was assessed based on the fair market value. This meant that property taxes could shoot up dramatically during a boom period where property values rapidly increased. I remember, back in the day, that all of the campaigning was centered on protecting the elderly, so that senior citizens on fixed incomes could budget for their property taxes and not be driven from their homes, because they could not afford rapidly escalating property taxes. It made sense then, and it makes sense to me today. What is Prop 13? There are two major components of Prop 13 and how it made property tax predictable. What Prop 13 did first, was fix a “Baseline” or a Base Value to a property at the time of purchase – typically for the purchase amount. Then to account for rising costs of government and the need to increase a tax base, Prop 13 allows for the Base Value to increase at a maximum rate of 1 percent per year (compounded). The second major component of Prop 13 is that it limits the amount of tax that the State of California can collect, by fixing the tax rate at 1 percent. Any tax above the 1 percent is local and must be approved by the voters. Seems like every election there is always some sort of budget amendment on the ballot asking for money for the school, police, fire, hospitals, roads or any other area where the local government wants to raise money and spend it. This is why each individual property has a unique property tax rate – it’s not only possible, but common to pay a different tax rate than a neighbor a block or two away – maybe even across the street. A simple example So, for a simple example, without accounting for any of the extra local taxes, let’s say a homeowner purchased a home in the year 2000 for $100,000. The property taxes for the first year would have been $1,000. The second year the assessed value would have increased to $102,000 and the taxes, at 1

percent of the taxed value, would have been $1,020. By taxing the compound balance the taxes the following year would have been $1,040 based on the new assessed value of $104,040. After 10 years of ownership, the Assessed Value would have increased to $121,899 and the taxes due would have been $1,219. The same property, assessed for the new 2015-16 fiscal year would be $134,586. Annual review The law calls for the County Assessor to review all property values each year. During a downturn to the economy, like we’ve experienced just a few years ago, there is another law known as Prop 8 that dictates the County Assessor keep the assessed property value in line with local property values. So, if you purchased a Temecula home in 2006 for $500,000 with a $5,000 tax bill (at 1 percent) the first year your Assessed Value probably received a Temporary Reduction, under the provisions of Prop 8, somewhere around 2008 or 2009. In some case, locally we saw assessed values cut the baseline value in half and thereby reducing the annual property tax bill in half, as well. In some cases, the taxpayer filed an appeal directly with the County Assessor to have their values reviewed and often reduced. In some cases, taxpayers were not
all state certifications necessary to move forward with construction have been received. The project is a joint endeavor by the city and county, which described Newport Road as a “key east-west corridor’’ serving all of Southwestern Riverside County. Design plans indicate work will be concentrated on a halfmile stretch of the artery, where it crosses the 215, between Antelope and Haun roads. Existing on- and offramps will be reconfigured into loop-style connectors, and a portion of the roadway will be widened from four to six lanes to “enhance traffic flow and safety and reduce traffic congestion,’’ according to TLMA documents. A mix of local and federal transportation funds — but no county general funds — will be used to

content with the review process and appealed the process and had hearings before a Property Tax Appeals Board. In most cases, the decision of the Appeals Board was final, and could take up to two years to resolve. In other cases, the County Assessor reduced assessed values and property taxes across the board reducing the assessed value of entire neighborhoods at one time. Regardless of the method of reduction, each reduction is only for one year at a time and must be reviewed annually. Temporary reduction As mentioned, the reductions are all temporary. The baseline is the baseline and even though the assessed value was decreasing year after year the baseline value continued to grow by 2 percent each year. Once property values start to increase, the County Assessor, in their annual review process, should then increase assessed values to be more in line with neighborhood property values. However, the County Assessor can NEVER increase the assessed value of a property above its baseline value. Another example Let’s look at the homeowner who purchased at the peak of the market in 2006 for $500,000 and had a $5,000 tax bill (at 1 percent
Supervisors clear way for Menifee interchange improvement project RIVERSIDE - Riverside County supervisors authorized Tuesday, Oct. 21, bidding to begin for work on a $25.4 million project to revamp a heavily used interchange in the heart of Menifee. The Interstate 215-Newport Road Interchange Improvement Project is tentatively slated to get underway in January and will likely be finished by the summer of 2016. In a 3-0 vote, with Supervisors Marion Ashley and John Tavaglione absent, the Board of Supervisors officially opened bidding from contractors interested in competing for the work. The Clerk of the Board’s Office will accept submissions until Dec. 3, after which the board must approve the winning bid. According to the Transportation and Land Management Agency,
to the baseline value, our property owner would now owe $5,744 instead of the $2,000 paid last year at an assessed value of $250,000. So yes, it might appear as if your taxes have gone up this year. The reality is they’ve just gone back to what they should be. If you disagree with the Assessed Value, read the fine print on your tax bill and file an appeal with the County Assessor, before it’s too late – they have very strict deadlines.

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home Southwest Riverside County When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before they’re even given a chance of showing. Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part
of the process, and on it’s own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want( and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-866-256-0756 and enter 2016. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

High School Football: Teams start jockeying for position in Week 2 of League matchups JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor With three weeks left in the regular season, it’s still anyone’s game and the playoffs are not yet out of reach, even for the teams that still haven’t quite found their mojo yet. Injuries have been insurmountable and new fresh faces have been emerging from the sidelines as each week passes making for what has been one of the most interesting league starts in quite a while. In the Southwestern League the 2013 League Champion Vista Murrieta Broncos have kept their league winning streak alive (have not lost a league game since 2008) by burying the Nighthawks at their home field, while Temecula Valley rebounded after their loss to Chaparral and handed Murrieta Mesa their second league loss of the season. Chaparral battled early against Great Oak, but could not get past the Wolfpack’s defense late in the game. In the Sunbelt League, Heritage handed Perris their second loss of the season maintaining their undefeated status and Temescal Canyon also won their second game of league play taking out Lakeside at their home field. Elsinore battled Paloma Valley and walked away with a narrow win, keeping their playoff hopes alive as both teams now sit in the middle of the pack. Linfield edged out Western Christian in the Ambassador League by one point in an overtime battle that will be remembered for a long time. In the South Valley League Rancho Christian welcomed Hamilton of the Freelance League to their home field, but quickly sent them home with their first league loss, while Calvary Murrieta and the CMI Rough Riders trampled their competition, which included Santa Rosa Academy. Predictions for Week 2 were a little off as the Valley News sports department went 8-2 with their picks, almost edging out the top 5 Prep Pigskin Pick’em Challenge contest winners from this week, who all seemed to follow suit with the sports gurus and are listed as follows: 1.

Wolfpack howls after 35-10 victory over Pumas Paul Bandong Staff Writer
TEMECULA - The Great Oak Wolfpack (4-2) hosted their crosstown rival Chaparral Pumas (2-4) and came away howling with a 35-10 victory. Great Oak’s last win against Chaparral was a twotouchdown come-from-behind 35-31 game in the 2010-11 season. “Chaparral’s a great team,” said Wolfpack Head Coach Robbie Robinson. “Our kids came out and executed the game plan. I’m proud of them!” The Great Oak defense set the tone of the game early, stopping a Chaparral drive after only five plays. The Wolfpack offense took over on the 20-yard line. On their third play, quarterback Laquan Williams hit Demetric Felton on a post pass for an 81-yard touchdown. Two plays later, Chaparral answered with a 78-yard off-tackle run by William Riley to tie the game at 7-7 with 7:46 left in the first quarter. Great Oak finished off a nineplay eighty-yard drive with a QB dive by Williams to make the score 14-7 Wolfpack. An 11-yard pass to Jonathan Hernandez kept the drive alive on a third-and-six. A bad snap on a Great Oak punt gave the Pumas excellent field posi-

tion with a first-and-goal at the five yard line. The Great Oak defense led by middle linebacker Ryan Boehm stopped three consecutive dive plays by Riley. Cameron Mettler’s 13-yard field goal closed the gap to 14-10 with 6:59 left. Felton took the ensuing kickoff back 99 yards up the middle of the field to give the Wolfpack a
keep play up the middle. Felton finished the night with 280 all-purpose yards and two TDs. He had 100 yards on 19 carries. Chaparral’s Riley had 163 yards on 21 carries. “I spent ten seasons at Chaparral,” said Wolfpack offensive coordinator Jeremy McCullough. “Now it’s all about Great Oak football. We’re
21-10 lead. The Wolfpack defense forced a three-and-out. Great Oak drove from the 26-yard line in twelve plays to extend the lead to 28-10. Williams scrambled for two first downs and carried the ball in from the one for the score. Williams scored once more in the third quarter on an eight-yard QB
ecstatic about this win and looking forward to a city championship next week!” Great Oak (5-2) will face the resurgent Temecula Valley Golden Bears (5-2) who just beat Murrieta Mesa 31-17. Chaparral (2-5) will take on the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks (3-4) who lost 49-14 to Vista Murrieta.
Murrieta Mesa can’t fend off Golden Bears attack, lose 31-17 Erik Thompson Special to the Valley News MURRIETA - Week seven pitted a couple of four-win teams against each other; the 4-2 Bears from Temecula Valley hosted the 4-2 Rams from Murrieta Mesa at Chaparral High School in Temecula Friday, October 17. Although both teams had four wins, they were 0-1 in Southwestern League play. Temecula Valley controlled the game from the beginning to the end and plowed their way to a 3117 victory over the Rams leaving the Rams alone in the league cellar and putting the Bears in a four-way tie for second. The tone of the game was set on both teams’ opening drives. The Bears kicked off to Mesa and were able to hold the Rams to a three-and-out punt. The Bears then methodically marched down 53 yards on nine plays and punched in

the go-ahead touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. Senior running back and linebacker Joshua Cortez followed his 6’6” 305 pound right guard Cory Grajczyk and right tackle Matthew Lee into the end zone on third and goal from the one yard line. It was a sign of things to come, the Rams were unable to convert their third down and the Bears converted three third downs on the opening drive. The Bears would go into halftime with a 24-3 lead, but the dagger might have been applied early in the third quarter when Temecula Valley scored on their first drive of the 2nd half while converting two third down and longs. The first was
a third-and-twenty from their own 15-yard line when Doran caught a 6-yard hitch and plowed his way through three Ram defenders for 22 yards and a Bear’s first down. Three plays later the Bears senior 6’5” wide receiver, Dominique Maiden, caught a deep out and powered his way up the TV sideline for an 18-yard gain and a third and eight conversion. Five plays later, Fisher threw his second touchdown pass of the night, a 13 yard out caught by Maiden. Mesa made a late charge with a nine play, 80-yard touchdown drive and converted a big turnover into 7 points when QB Peyton Uhl found senior wide receiver

Bryan Phan in the back corner of the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. It was Phan’s first touchdown of the year, but the Ram’s could not hold off the Bears, losing 31-17 Players of the game for Murrieta Mesa were senior center Andrew Thompson for offense and sophomore linebacker Bradley Strate on defense. Andrew has anchored an extremely dependable, versatile, and veteran offensive line that has allowed very few negative plays all year. They are one of only two teams in league that average at least 200 yards a game both passing and rushing on offense. Strate saw his first extended action of his season. He was involved in several tackles and constantly around the ball. Temecula Valley with their 5-2 record, 1-1 in league play, will look to seize control of second place in league when they travel to Great Oak High School and take on the Wolfpack and their identical 5-2, 1-1 record on Friday, October 24. Murrieta Mesa and their 4-3 record, 0-2 in league, will be searching for their first 2014 league win when they host first place Vista Murrieta Broncos on Friday October 24. The 5-2 Broncos, 2-0 in league, bring with them an incredible 30-game Southwestern League winning streak.

Broncos trample Nighthawks 49-14 Garrett Upshaw Special to the Valley News MURRIETA - Home field advantage didn’t amount to much as Murrieta Valley suffered a tough loss against the Vista Murrieta Broncos Friday night during both teams’ second conference game of the season. With less than five minutes into the game, WR Colin Baker pulled down a sweet pass from new QB Kyle Williams to score the first TD of the game. The Nighthawks failed to answer the Broncos, whose defensive line laid it all out on the field. A failed Hawks push down the gridiron led to a punt, giving the Broncos plenty of opportunity to rack up points on the board. An onside kick following a Bronco TD in the second quarter showed who was in control when the motivated Broncos recovered. The team went on to use the advantage wisely scoring another unanswered TD with 9:04 left in the half. Just as things began to look up for the Nighthawks following a successful push down the field into the red zone, QB Maxwell Maitland fumbled off the snap letting the Broncos recover the ball, stopping the embattled home team’s momentum. At the end of the first half, the Broncos led 28-0. A second fumble following the third quarter kickoff left the Nighthawks dazed as the seemingly unstoppable team of Williams and Baker continued the blowout with a pass connection putting 6 more up on the scoreboard for the determined Broncos. The Nighthawks got the ball back following a successful extra point attempt by the Broncos and began the steady march back down the field. Within 3 minutes of the Broncos scoring off of the fumble, the Nighthawks finally managed to put some points on the board when WR Jacob Lopez squeezed one in for the struggling team’s first TD of the night. The Broncos immediately an-
swered the Hawks with a TD of their own on the next drive then scored again, destroying any hopes the Nighthawks had of a comeback. The Nighthawks scored their second TD of the night with only 32 seconds left on the clock when WR Chase Collins snagged a Maitland pass and ran it in for 6. On the Vista Murrieta side of the ball, Junior QB, Kyle Williams, threw for 239 yards and 3 TDs, while rushing for one of his own as well. Colin Baker added two scores, while Seth Acda, Tito Feliciano and Vincent Bowes all found the end zone for a score each as well. The final score favored the domineering Broncos, 49-14, over the Nighthawks whose defense couldn’t bring enough to the field to stop the powerhouse team. Nighthawks coach George Wilson said his team had some solid plays but that it just wasn’t enough to hold off the long-time conference rivals. “We’re disappointed,” Wilson said. “We played the game to win the game and we didn’t, right now we are just overcome with disappointment. I thought our kids played really well, we have some really big plays and some really good players.” Vista Murrieta Coach Coley Candaele said he was pleased with the Bronco’s performance on the field and that he believed quarterback Kyle Williams performed well in his new role with the team. “I think Kyle Williams every time he takes a snap as a quarter back he gets better,” said Candaele. “He is a kid that as a quarterback everyone on the team respects him and knows who he is playing for. He is a straight team player. He is going to play as hard as he possibly can, and sometimes even too hard.” Next week Murrieta Valley (34) has a chance to redeem itself as they travel to Chaparral (2-5) for their third conference game of the season. Vista Murrieta (5-2) travels to take on conference rivals Murrieta Mesa (4-3). Game times are at 7 p.m.
The Vista Murrieta Broncos led by QB Kyle Williams (14 carries 85 yards and 10 of 13 passing for 242 yards, 3 TDs ) beat host Murrieta Valley 49-14 in Southwestern League action Friday.

Senior Leads Young Lions Volleyball Team Lions Down Arrowhead Christian 3-0 Paul Bandong Staff Writer The young Linfield Christian Lady Lions Girls Volleyball team (5-11) has had its high points and low points this year. Among the high points are a Championship win in the Cal Lutheran tournament and a four-game win streak against Lake Arrowhead Christian, Cal Lutheran, Lakeside and Rancho Christian. “We have faced a few tough losses but the Lady Lions have only grown from these experiences,” said Head Coach Ryan McKenzie. ”We are fully prepared for a competitive season.” “We have a young team that has made great leaps throughout the summer.” The young team counts two freshmen, five sophomores and two juniors in its starting lineup. They join three experienced seniors. One of those freshmen, defensive specialist (libero) Braelyn Wakefield, has recorded 240 digs. Senior setter Mandy Leigh has 137 assists. Outside hitter Taylor Aguayo, a four-year varsity starter and a senior leader on the team, has tallied 164 kills, 31 aces, and 193 digs so far this season. She is averaging 15.5 kills and 17.5 digs per game. “Taylor bleeds volleyball,” said McKenzie. “She is not a one-dimensional player and has the ability to play all the

positions on the court. She is one of the most skilled players I have ever had the pleasure of coaching, and I will be sad to let her go at the end of the year; she has been an integral part of our program’s victories. I personally appreciate Taylor’s commitment to the game, her leadership, and her character. She leads by example, never settles for mediocrity and challenges her teammates.” Aguayo was recently named Athlete of the Month at Linfield. In a balanced team effort, the
Lady Lions defeated Arrowhead Christian 3-0. Outside hitter sophomore Tyler Kamashian finished the game with 14 kills, three huge blocks and 18 digs. Wakefield tallied 25 digs while Aguayo added 20 digs and seven kills to the mix. Junior Imani Hicks finished with six kills and Leigh had 14 assists. Aguayo and her young teammates face the Ambassador League’s #3, 4, and 5 teams this week: Loma Linda (11-3), Aquinas (9-2), and Western Christian (10-6-1).

Is Riverside County ready for Ebola? Debbie Ramsey Staff Writer
service may have received an Ebola patient, Kaiser said his office would dispatch a “go team” to the site. “We already have existing go teams; we put people at sites all the time,” said Kaiser. “In addition, we would not only expect, but demand, the involvement of the Centers for Disease Control and State Dept. of Public Health, because while we have good, local expertise, we don’t claim to be the know-all, be-all in dealing with Ebola.” In Southwestern Riverside County, Southwest Healthcare System (Temecula Valley Hospital, Inland Valley Medical Center, Rancho Springs Medical Center, and Corona Regional Medical Center) is one group that is working diligently on preparedness. “In conjunction with the guidance and recommendations provided by the Center for Disease Control as well as our state and local health departments, we have developed and implemented plans and procedures to identify and address any potential Ebola patient that might present [to one of our facilities,]” reported Linda Pearson on behalf of the parent company, Universal Health Services. “We have provided training and conducted drills with our appropriate staff on these protocols in order to detect any potential patients and initiate isolation procedures to prevent any spread of the virus,” said Pearson, who added that all the company’s hospitals have specific isolation areas already designated and prepared in the event of an Ebola patient. After Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital received and tried to save patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who became afflicted with the Ebola virus after a trip to Liberia, the first fatality took place on U.S. soil Oct. 8. Despite the significant precautions taken, it was announced Oct. 12 that nurse, Nina Pham, 26, who had attended Duncan at the hospital and worn protective clothing, had tested positive for the disease. Now a second healthcare worker has been impacted, and that person took an airline trip between Dallas-Fort Worth and Cleveland within critical hours of the symptoms presenting themselves. Contact tracing is in full swing on these victims of Ebola. The incubation period can last up to 21 days. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is now scrambling to assess how the contaminations occurred and how procedures need to be modified to stop the disease in its tracks on American soil. At a press conference held shortly after the announcement that the first nurse had been contaminated, CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said his agency would send in a special response team to “any hospital” that receives an Ebola patient.
Healthcare facilities in Riverside County are preparing for a worstcase scenario – receiving a patient with the Ebola virus. Dr. Cameron Kaiser, public health officer for the Riverside County Dept. of Public Health, confirmed no cases have been received in the region but said, “Even one case in Riverside County would be devastating.” Kaiser said that since Ontario and Palm Springs are international airports, through connecting flights, the risk is present. “We are a global community and currently I would characterize the risk as low, but don’t rule it out as a possibility,” he said. Based on what has transpired over the past few weeks, Kaiser said healthcare centers countywide are being proactive in updating their practices and procedures. At the county level, Kaiser said, “We are focusing on two things – preparedness and policy. Weeks before Mr. Duncan (the first U.S. patient received in Texas) got on a plane, we were already inspecting our hospitals for preparedness. We have been doing more drills, and there are more coming. We have been providing new and refresher courses on protocol regarding handling an Ebola patient and how to properly use the protective equipment.” Kaiser said, “A hospital can never assume they won’t have an Ebola patient come to their doorstep. Fortunately none of our hospitals and healthcare facilities are assuming that.” Hospitals in the county are being monitored for preparedness by the public health department, said Kaiser. While he couldn’t divulge specifics by hospital, “We have done internal surveys and all of our hospitals have plans in place. They have already started doing active drills and I am satisfied and proud of the responses they’ve made.” If indicators are there that a facility, doctor’s office, or paramedic

Horrific symptoms begin to manifest in victims of the disease two to three weeks after contracting the virus. Early symptoms are a fever (greater than 101.5 degrees), severe headache, sore throat, and muscle pain. As it progresses, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and a rash follow as the function of the individual’s liver and kidneys begin to be compromised. It is at this point that the victims can begin to bleed both internally and externally. A few short weeks ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) said well over 8,000 people had contracted the Ebola virus this year and more than 4,000 of those patients had died, citing an average fatality rate of 50 percent. On Oct. 14, the organization said West Africa should brace for up to 10,000 new Ebola cases in any given week over the next two months and that the new fatality rate is estimated to be 70 percent. Hardest hit are the countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Many of those who have cared for the ill in those countries have also contracted Ebola. Previously, medical authorities have said contamination occurs upon contact with an affected person’s blood, saliva, sweat, feces, semen, vomit or soiled clothing. It reportedly is not spread through casual contact, air, or water. Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is believed that the host carrier in nature of the Ebola virus is the fruit bat or a primate, but once a human is infected, the disease can spread to others. While hospitals in Riverside County appear to be assertive in being prepared, the National Nurses United (NNU) organization issued a statement last week nationally that “75 percent of member nurses still
say their hospital has not communicated to them any policy regarding potential admission of patients infected by Ebola” and that “85 percent say their hospital has not provided education on Ebola with the ability for nurses to interact and ask questions.” The NNU also called for significant increases in provision of aid, financial, personnel, and protective equipment, from the U.S., other governments and private corporate interests to the nations in West Africa directly affected to contain and stop the spread of Ebola. At local hospitals, containing the virus is paramount and protecting healthcare workers is vital. “Temecula Valley Hospital, Inland Valley Medical Center, Rancho Springs Medical Center, and Corona Regional Medical Center have the appropriate personal protective equipment for use by our staffs that may have contact with an identified Ebola patient and those staff members have been trained on the proper use of such protective attire,” said Pearson. “In the event of a confirmed Ebola patient, we would immediately contact the CDC and work with them on the best course of treatment for the patient and safety of our staff.” There is no cure at this time for Ebola. Experimental drugs and therapies are being tried against the virus internationally, two of which have been developed in San Diego County. ZMapp, produced by Mapp Biopharmaceutical is one of the experimental drugs being tried. It is comprised of three humanized monoclonal antibodies, but has not yet been proven successful in clinical trials. San Diego-based Aethlon Medical has its experimental blood filtration system, the Hemopurifier,
being used to treat an Ebola patient in Germany. The Hemopurifier is reportedly a device that is inserted into a dialysis machine, which filters blood for people with kidney disease. In treating an Ebola patient, it can remove viruses from the bloodstream in addition to the proteins that suppress the immune system, the company said. It has also been noted that it could be used in the future against Hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS. While researchers continue the quest for a cure, Kaiser said his goal is to make sure every hospital in Riverside County is prepared to handle an Ebola patient safely. “We want all of our hospitals to be able to handle it and at least be able to provide care for that patient for a period of time,” said Kaiser. “They are all doing what we are asking them to do.” Containment of the virus would be vital, Kaiser said, if a patient is received in the county. “If it happens, I want to be sure we only have one case,” said Kaiser. Hoping to ease anxiety and provide a reliable source for information about Ebola, Riverside County health officials have created a website that focuses on the potentially fatal virus. The website, www.rivcoph.org/ Ebola.aspx, will house information from the Riverside County Department of Public Health, California Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other reliable sources to give the public and health providers the latest updates on Ebola and what is being done to prevent the spread of the virus.

partnered with Dr. Daniel Friedlich to organize the Keys for Life benefit in Murrieta for the American Cancer Society. “I am a survivor and giving back is my purpose to help others,” said Smith, 33, who had cervical/ ovarian cancer. She underwent treatment for it in 2001, 2003 and 2008 and is now cancer free. Friedlich, a Murrieta neurosurgeon, is Smith’s doctor and she describes him as an amazing and giving one. She said it was his vision to have the benefit, which featured local musicians playing music nonstop for 24 hours at Aces Comedy Club. The benefit was held from 9 a.m. on Aug. 17 to 9 a.m. the next day. About 100 people attended and enjoyed listening to mostly classical music. There was also some pop, rock and jazz music, plus singers. Friedlich, a piano player, contacted fellow musicians in the community to participate in the benefit while Smith advertised it and collected donations from local businesses for a raffle and silent auction. “My vision was basically to raise money and incorporate music doing it,” Friedlich said. He was able to get 20 musicians to donate their time for the benefit, which raised $8,500. The goal was $5,000 so the fundraising exceeded expectations. “It was really a success all the way around,” Friedlich said. “It was a grassroots type of project. We didn’t spend a lot to put it on.” He emphasized that 100 percent of the money raised went to the American Cancer Society. “I feel strongly about cancer treatment resources going to patients,” he said. Friedlich plans on holding

the benefit annually and getting more children to participate. “The best thing that came out of it was teaching children how to use their musical talent to give back to the community,” he said. “Sharing with children the concept of charity was the most special part of the benefit.” Next year Friedlich is hoping to have the benefit in a ballroom at the Pechanga Resort & Casino so there’s room for a grand piano and more attendees. He also wants to fundraise for different, smaller cancer foundations each year. Yiyi Ku, a piano teacher with a studio in Murrieta, was contacted by Friedlich to perform at the benefit. She thought it was an awesome idea so she and 18 of her students, ages 4 to adult, provided four hours of music. “I have been personally affected by cancer,” Ku said. “I thought the idea of a playathon concert to raise money for the cancer society
was worth 100 percent support. I especially liked the idea of having not just accomplished and professional musicians perform, but also children and students participate.” Ku was diagnosed with thyroid cancer seven years ago and has had three surgeries. The last one was in 2010. “Anyone who has gone through any type of cancer treatment knows that a lot of people and resources are involved and I consider myself very lucky to have been successful in my fight,” she said. Ku is looking forward to performing in next year’s benefit and hopes more people will attend, especially to support the student musicians. For more information on Keys for Life, contact Friedlich by calling his Temecula Valley Neurosurgery office at (951) 587-3739. To comment on this story, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Murrieta school celebrates national Red Ribbon certification Tovashal Elementary is only school in state to receive such honor
The Murrieta Valley High School’s Junior ROTC marches away after conducting a special flag-raising ceremony at Tovashal Elementary School.
The TuToring CenTer™
Over 1,000 people attended the event at TES.
Laura Rathbun Special to Valley News Tovashal Elementary School in Murrieta celebrated receiving Red Ribbon certification on Oct. 20 with a morning event attended by over 1,000 people. The school is now one of 73 across the nation, and the first in California, to be awarded with the certification. The honor recognizes schools that improved academic performance by keeping students drug and alcohol free and involving parents and the community in the effort to do so. To be considered for Red Ribbon certification, schools must utilize substance abuse prevention related curriculum guided by best practices, work with parents as partners and engage in year round Red Ribbon events. Schools selected for certification remain certified for three years, according to Katie Adams, TES’ PTA Red Ribbon coordinator. “Educating children about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and drug use is not just a week or month-long message delivered during the month of October, but an ongoing message to students and parents,” Adams said. “We address factors that put children at risk, we teach kids about how much fun it is to stay healthy and we talk to parents about prevention tips they might not have thought of before.” The Red Ribbon Certified School program was originally developed by Informed Families, the National Family Partnership and the Florida Center for Prevention Research at Florida State University. It has been federally funded and designed to assess and then celebrate effective efforts in the prevention of substance abuse among youth. Andrea Sorensen, whose son Jesse Frey is a 5th grader at TES, was at the event and dressed in red like most of the other parents, teachers and school staff. She thinks the certification bestowed on
TES is well deserved. “This school has always gone above and beyond in any of the activities I’ve been to,” she said. “The PTA and staff always put in tremendous effort.” Sorensen commented that her son is excited about the honor. “He’s very proud of his school. He loves Tovashal,” she said. Murrieta Valley Unified School District Superintendent Pat Kelley spoke briefly at the event and congratulated TES. He noted that the school’s incredibly involved parents contributed to the certification. TES Principal Marcie Kea also spoke. “It’s a tremendous honor. At Tovashal, we work throughout the entire year to stay healthy and drug free,” she said. There was some musical entertainment before students were dismissed from the event. TES teacher Kevin Fanning played a guitar and sang a humorous antidrug song that he wrote and the crowd enjoyed. After students went to class, guests were invited to attend a special flag-raising ceremony at the front of the school. TES was given a Red Ribbon certification flag that it can fly along with the American and California flags. The Murrieta Valley High School’s Junior ROTC
conducted the ceremony. Officials at the event included MVUSD Board of Education Members Ken Dickson and Paul Diffley, Riverside County Office of Education’s Director of Pupil and Administrative Services Susan Levine and Murrieta City Council Members Rick Gibbs and Randon Lane. “What an amazing honor it is for a Murrieta Valley Unified school, especially for the parents here at Tovashal Elementary School,” Gibbs commented. “This honor recognizes the continuing hard work of Tovashal teachers, administrators and parents to provide a healthy learning environment for students. The Board of Education congratulates Tovashal staff and parents in achieving this national recognition,” MVUSD Board President Kris Thomasian said before the event because she was unable to attend it. After the flag-raising ceremony, there was a reception for guests in the school’s multi-purpose room. It featured refreshments, including a two-tiered cake decorated with red ribbons.

Supervisors delay decision on new policy to reduce liability claims Paul Young Special to the Valley News RIVERSIDE - To give absent members an opportunity to address the issue, the Board of Supervisors postponed Tuesday, Oct. 21 voting on new guidelines intended to reduce Riverside County’s exposure to litigation and therefore save money. Supervisor Kevin Jeffries placed an item on the board’s policy agenda titled “Administrative Protocol for Reducing Claims and Lawsuits Against County Agencies.” Although Jeffries expressed a desire to move forward with implementing the policy without delay, he was opposed by Board Chairman Jeff Stone, who said he wanted Supervisors Marion Ashley and John Tavaglione present before a vote, in case either man wished to make comments. Both supervisors were away on personal business, leaving the bare minimum quorum to conduct the meeting. Some business had to be deferred due to a four-fifths majority being required, mainly to decide any matter involving appropriations. With Supervisor John Benoit saying he was okay voting “either way” — implementing the policy now or later — the decision was made to postpone final action on the item until Nov. 25, when all board members are scheduled to be on hand. Jeffries first broached the issue a month ago, when he proposed making individual county agencies responsible for picking up the lion’s share of lawsuit awards stemming from actions occurring within the agencies. Jeffries expressed dismay regarding the outflow of money from the county’s risk management fund -- into which all agencies make a contribution -- and felt that publicly identifying the departments targeted in tort actions and having them shoulder their own legal settlement costs would prove beneficial. Executive Office figures show the county’s liability payouts in 2013-14 totaled $20.92 million. Jeffries suggested that depart-
ment heads opposed to having to drain their budgets to cover settlements could appeal to the board -- in open session. Critical of the concept was Sheriff Stan Sniff, who said it was fraught with “grave legal, budgetary and operational” shortcomings. In a letter to the board, Sniff said he would be exposed to “civil vulnerability” if placed in the position of arguing publicly about the different aspects of cases arising from the actions of sheriff’s personnel. “I will submit that a [law enforcement] officer today can do everything appropriate and legal to the circumstance in question ... but still incur civil liability by the very nature of our business,” the sheriff said. He argued for the status quo and that matters arising from lawsuits continue to be decided in executive session. Several county residents lauded Jeffries for advocating increased public transparency. However, after assessing the sentiment of the board and the Executive Office, Jeffries decided to conduct meetings with agency heads to develop a more universally appealing strategy. The “administrative protocol” that Jeffries submitted for consideration calls for: • Department heads to immediately notify the Office of County Counsel, Executive Office and Department of Human Resources of “significant incidents” that could lead to a lawsuit • A prompt investigation whenever such incidents are reported • Implementation of general provisions “to increase accountability and reduce the frequency of future liability and litigation” • Regular reporting to the board of resolved or pending litigation. Jeffries noted in his proposal that the Office of County Counsel is trying to handle more complex litigation in-house to help control costs. The supervisor seemed satisfied with the current level of contributions into the county’s liability fund. According to Jeffries, allocations are based on “80 percent claims history and 20 percent department exposure data.”
