Rumors the Murrieta Equestrian Center would be closed by the city were dispelled by the City Council Oct. 21 when they granted its pasture tenant an extended 90-day lease until a new vision for the facility can be explored in January.

Acting Mayor Randall Lane, prior to a city council workshop on the Murrieta Equestrian Center, told a crowded city council chambers the information given on Facebook in recent days that the city might close the center were completely false.

“We are not going to get rid of the equestrian center,” Lane said.

Almost 30 residents signed notices they wanted to speak on the future of the center in the public

The Murrieta City Council, following the removal of Councilman Harry Ramos from his mayoral position, reassigned a number of committees and subcommittees to other council members with Councilman Randon Lane transitioning into the mayor’s slot until the end of the year.

Following a council called investigation into alleged misconduct

by Ramos, in an Oct. 8 special council meeting, council voted 4-0 to strip the former mayor of his mayoral title and take away all his committee and intergovernmental agency assignments. The removal resulted in the council making new assignments for the other council members. Lane, as interim mayor, now heads the committees and subcommittees Ramos once held.

Field of Honor has stories to share

John Hunneman Columnist There will come a moment, probably in the minutes just before dawn, when I will come, once again, to understand fully the meaning of Murrieta’s Field of Honor.

Sponsored by the Murrieta Rotary Club, the 7th annual Field of Honor takes place from Nov. 8 to 14 at Town Square Park.

From the Opening Ceremony on Sunday, Nov. at 1 p.m., the week will be filled with patriot events such as a chalk art competition, a candle light vigil, a birthday party for the U.S. Marine Corps, the city’s Veterans Day Parade and culminate in the Patriots Ball.

However, at its roots, the Field of Honor is as simple a flag fluttering in the breeze to honor a man or woman who, at one time in their life, swore to “protect and defend the Constitution” and vowed to watch out a buddy fighting alongside.

In total, 2,015 American flags will fly this year, all of them honoring veterans, from the American Revolution to present day, and first responders.

I am a frequent visitor to the site during the week, not only in my capacity as an emcee for several events – an honor I cherish – but to walk among the rows of flags, morning, noon, night.

Ah, but it is in the early morning hours when the field, bathed in soft light, opens up and tells her story.

During my pre-dawn walk I try to imagine was it was like for my father at Iwo Jima and my greatgrandfather at Bull Run. A flag at the field honors each of these men.

Often on these early morning visits I see others who have come for the same reason – to listen as the field tells their family story.

The Field of Honor shares her stories with many, including school students who visit during the week.

Early on the Rotary Club and the Murrieta school district partnered to make this an educational experience by bringing Murrieta’s fifth graders are brought to the field.

This year fifth graders from eight Lake Elsinore Schools and two charter schools in Temecula will also be visiting, doubling the number of student visitors to nearly 3,000.

Students are given a tour by a veteran and are free to ask questions. Among the sections of the field they visit is one where a flag is posted for each Medal of Honor winner from California.

Bob Bryant, co-chairman of the event since its inception, tells the story of a particularly inquisitive fifth grader who wanted to know if there was a flag posted in that section for Jimmy Doolittle.

In April 1942, Lieutenant Colonel James “Jimmy” Doolittle planned and led a bombing raid on Tokyo.

Called “Doolittle’s Raid”, the attack showed Japan it was vulnerable to American forces and, coming just six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was a big boost to U.S. morale.

Doolittle, who was born in Alameda, received the Medal of Honor for his actions. He died in 1993 in Pebble Beach.

“This youngster seemed knew a lot about Jimmy Doolittle, so I asked him why he so interested in this particular Medal of Honor winner,” Bryant said.

It turns out the Murrieta 5th grader was Jimmy Doolittle, the great-great grandson of the American hero.

“You never know who you might meet at the field,” Bryant said.

Or the stories you might hear.

There is still time to order a flag to honor your veteran or first responder. Visit www. murrietafieldofhonor.com.

At the end of the week the flag is yours to keep and repost in years to come.

The fix-it ticket, why do police officers write them?

Sergeant Jay A. Froboese Murrieta Police Department This month let’s chat about a select few “fix-it” tickets and why police bother to stop motorists to warn or cite for this kind of violation. Some motorists have told me they consider it a hassle when they receive a fix-it ticket. I’m often asked why we waste our time on such “insignificant” vehicle code violations. A fair question I say, but the violation is not as insignificant as it may appear if they knew how these particular laws came to be a part of the California Vehicle Code.

Most vehicle codes ever written and passed as law have some tragic string of events behind them that have led to people being injured or killed during the operation of their motor vehicles. This is why the law came into existence. Some of the laws appear antiquated, odd or unnecessary. When this happens, the law will not stand the test of time and gets repealed or modified.

We tend to write several fix it tickets over and over so let’s concentrate on those.

Lowered vehicles and vehicle suspension modifications There are a lot of very goodlooking lowered vehicles in the

MAYOR from page A-1 Councilman Rick Gibbs is now the Mayor Pro Tem and will stand in for Lane when he is away or unable to take the dais at council meetings or other city activities Murrieta’s mayor is not chosen by the electorate but follows an annual rotation moving the next most senior councilman up to the mayoral position. Gibbs under the rotation policy would move into the mayor’s slot in January. Gibbs at the Oct. 20 council meeting suggested the council review the rotation policy at the end of the year.

Because of council resignations and dismissals the mayor’s position has been a subject of contention for a number of years.

In council resolutions ratified last week the following changes will be made in the committees and subcommittees.

Interim Mayor Lane will become mayor, and the chairman and if necessary vice chairman of the Redevelopment Successor Agency, Community Services District, Fire

city. But how low can you safely and legally go? When the frame or any body part of the vehicle is lowered to the point where a flat tire would cause the undercarriage or frame to come into contact with the ground prior to the rim contacting the ground you have a problem. In this situation, when the tire goes completely flat you will not be able to roll on the rim. The undercarriage or frame will ride on the ground like a sled and you will lose the ability to steer and brake your vehicle in this situation.

Lighting equipment violations What is legal? This is probably the most frequently asked question anytime I do any public speaking regarding the Police Department or Traffic Division. My California Vehicle Code Lighting Equipment Section is a full 24 pages long. It is an enormous section containing volumes of information. So I’ll just hit a few highlights of the most common violations I see. If you want more info go to www. leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html website and read all of it for yourself.

Any blue lights on your car are illegal. We see lots of them out there. Why are they illegal?

Blue vehicle lighting signifies law enforcement vehicles. We kinda

District, Library Board, Financing Authority, and the Housing Authority. Lane also becomes a representative to the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and an alternate for the League of California Cities (Riverside Division). He also will help select the Student of the Month.

Gibbs will take the lead in these assignments when Lane can’t attend.

Councilman Jonathan Ingram was appointed to the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) the Trails Committee and the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency. In the past various council members can ask the council to be placed on committees of their choice or the agency itself can request a certain councilmen to be the city’s representative. The assignments can be changed by the council.

After the new assignments were made, Ramos announced to the council his intention to file a writ of mandamus with court so he can retain his position and responsibilities. A writ of mandamus is an order

got dibs on that color! Also, red lights facing forward, or in front of the rear axle are illegal for the same reason. Do not switch out headlights or taillights with a light that says on the box, “for off-road use only.” There are lots of these violations, and the performance of this type of lighting is substandard to factory equipment. It is also very easy for us to spot them on the road. If you replace lenses on the car make sure they have the Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp in the plastic. Rear turn signals must be amber or red and front amber or white.

Lastly, with our rainy season upon us, please make sure those tires are ready for the weather. We tend to cite a lot of bald tires this time of year. We also take a lot of accidents where bald tires are a contributing factor. Your family’s safety is not worth the risk. Change them out if they are getting close on tread.

I welcome your questions and suggestions for future articles and can be contacted directly at the Murrieta Police Department at (951) 461-6302. You can also email me at jfroboese@murrieta. org.

United States Dist.) Ramos maintains the investigation into his alleged misconduct is a farce, given he had no opportunity to question his accusers. Ramos said he will publically disclose legal action in the near future.

In other action, the council adopted a resolution accepting the State of California Office of Traffic Safety “Selective Traffic Enforcement Program” that is designed to reduce fatal and injury traffic collisions cause by drivers driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The police department successfully submitted a grant request of $135,833 to operate the program. The program will also concentrate on speed, aggressive driving, seatbelt enforcement, intersection operations encouraging motorcycle safety.

Questions arise in Aguanga officer involved shooting Tony Ault Writer Neighbors and friends of Margaret Wagner, 53, killed in an officer involved shooting in Aguanga Oct.9, have come forward to report that years of alleged domestic abuse may have led to her death by the Riverside County Sheriff’s swat team.

The case remains under investigation by Riverside County Sheriff’s homicide detectives who have yet

to report any new findings to the local news media. Public Information Officer Michael Vasquez in an inquiry by the Anza Valley Outlook said on Oct. 23 homicide detectives are still investigating the case which has been turned over to the Riverside County District Attorney for review.

Vasquez said in the homicide i n v e s t i g a t i o n t h e Wa g n e r ’s marijuana farm business “did not play a role in the incident and those details would not be pertinent to this

investigation.”

Meanwhile, an Aguanga resident and neighbor of Margaret Wagner using the initials L.D. reported the 53-year-old woman (who was earlier reported to be 62) for a long time suffered, sometimes severe domestic abuse from her ex-husband Raimond Wagner. She said that on more than one occasion, Margaret Wagner had come to her home following an alleged attack by her husband. Sheriff’s reports and court documents do indicate that the couple had a history of domestic quarrels, some violent, that ended with each asking the courts for restraining orders against the other.

It was a reported domestic disturbance in Idyllwild in the 54000 block of Wildwood Drive on Oct. 9 that ultimately brought deputies to Margaret Wagner’s home in Aguanga.

A sheriff’s report said on Oct. 9 deputies received information while investigating the Idyllwild incident that Margaret Wagner was allegedly threatening her ex-husband and his girlfriend with a gun. The victims said Wagner left and may have gone to her rural Aguanga home in the 44000 block of Jacob Court. It was known that Margaret Wagner operated a business growing legal marijuana named the Highway 371 Health and Wellness Center.

An Oct. 10 news release issued by the Sheriff’s department reported that when deputies located Margaret Wagner at the Jacob Court home, she had possession of a handgun.

“The deputies ordered the suspect drop the handgun; however, she refused and pointed the handgun at deputies and the officer involved shooting occurred. The suspect retreated into the residence and refused to exit the home,” Vasquez wrote in the news release.

The report went on the say that the swat team was called in and after several attempts to peacefully resolve the situation they entered the home and found Margaret Wagner deceased.

Vasquez responded to a question about why more than 150 law enforcement officers from as far away as San Jacinto were called in with dozens of law enforcement vehicles, including an armored battering ram and an incident command post. Most of the equipment was

set up at the intersection of Barbara Lane on Highway 371. He said, “For the safety of everyone (officers, community members) involved the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department attempted to utilize all of the resources available.”

Deputies remained at the Jacob Court home throughout the afternoon and into the early evening hours with officers and equipment coming and going constantly, according to several witnesses. The battering ram was unloaded and driven down more almost two miles of dirt roads to the home.

L.D. and her husband, who live within sight of Margaret Wagner’s home, were reluctant to tell what they saw the day of the shooting and a witness they talked too after the incident. L.D. said they could always see Margaret Wagner going to and from her home at the end of Jacob Court. Jacob Court has only one way in and one way out, she noted.

“That day we think she was home all day,” L.D. said. “We didn’t see her come in or leave.”

She said that Margaret Wagner, for a long time had “suffered from beatings” allegedly administered by her ex-husband. Police and court records with photographs obtained by the Anza Outlook and Valley News confirmed that numerous court cases and sheriff reports involving the Wagners’ domestic issues are on file. They were in a bitter divorce battle with more than $700,000 in settlement money involved.

“Their divorce was to become final the day after she was killed,” said L.D. That same day, sometime after the incident at his home in Idyllwild, Raimond Wagner, through his attorney, filed a “Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order” against his wife. The court record gives this written statement from Raimond Wagner under the penalty of perjury, “On today’s date at approximately 6:00 a.m., Margaret Wagner appeared at the residence where I am staying with my significant other, Lori Parker. She drew a gun and was threatening to kill us both.

“Ultimately the police were summoned and she has been shot by law enforcement. I have no idea what her condition is. I am concerned that she has large sums of cash and may in fact bail out.”

In the court document, Raimond Wagner also indicated Margaret Wagner may have hidden away $100,000. He went on to state he was asking the court for an emergency restraining order. That order, in the form of a temporary restraining order was granted by the court four days after Margaret Wagner’s death.

In the original request for a restraining order filed by Raimond Wagner, he gave an account of the couple’s tumultuous marriage relationship with a document including a promissory note from his wife saying she would pay him over time $720,000 for the Jacob Court business. That note and a lease agreement, dated Nov. 7, 2014, was secured by the property and its equipment apparently owned

by Margaret Wagner. She paid him $20,000 as a down payment on note. He claimed she had not paid him any of $10,000 a month she was supposed to pay him after that.

The property itself, according to one of the court documents, may be the subject of a federal tax lien, as well.

L.D. went on the say that she tried to go to the Wagner home after the shooting to remove some of Margaret Wagner’s things to give to her Margaret’s daughter who had recently been hospitalized.

“When we got there Raimond was on the porch with his girlfriend showing others the blood splatters and body matter from his wife who

died in the house. Who would do that?”

She said there were bullet holes in the door.

“They were shots fired from outside not from inside,” she claimed.

L.D. said a few days after the shooting she received a phone call from a man, she would not identify, and who worked for Margaret Wagner growing the marijuana plants.

“I think he was a foreman or something. You know it is Marijuana harvest time,” said L.D. The man, saying he was afraid of the police is now supposedly in the Carolinas, told L.D. that Margaret Wagner was in the house when a large contingent of sheriff deputies arrived outside including a helicopter flying above. He told her he ran to get the papers showing the marijuana grow was legal, thinking the sheriff was there to make a “raid” on the farm. She said the witness, on the telephone, told her the deputies saw him running, grabbed him, handcuffed him and then put him in a car where he remained for almost eight hours as the standoff continued.

L.D. said they were other workers at the farm as well. There were two unidentified women seen by an Anza Valley Outlook reporter being questioned by deputies at the incident command post. They were escorted from one police car to another following the questioning.

Sheriff’s deputies made no mention of them in the inquiry.

L.D. said the foreman claimed, “The deputies just shot her down in cold blood.”

As of press time, no contact has been made with the farm worker to verify this information. The sheriff’s office did not respond to the alleged farm worker’s claim, instead maintaining the farm had nothing to do with the incident.

“They just shot her through the door,” surmised L.D. “They didn’t even know if she had a gun because she was in the house when they arrived. They didn’t even call an ambulance to the residence.”

However, there was an ambulance and fire unit on standby seen at the swat team’s advance point about a half mile from the home.

Court records show that the alleged domestic abuse that occurred was reported by both parties each claiming the other was the victim in the abuse. Margaret Wagner was arrested on one occasion during a confrontation court records show.

A case against Raimond Wagner was dismissed.

In the Raimond Wagner court document he claims that in recent weeks she had allegedly vandalized his car and his girlfriend’s business in Idyllwild Since the shooting, the sheriff’s deputies out of the Hemet – San Jacinto Sheriff’s office have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

“The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s standard procedure is to place the involved officers on administrative leave after these incidences.” Vasquez said. “The practice is based on Department policy. Again, the names and identities of the involved officers will be withheld at this time.”

Many questions surrounding the officer involved shooting remain to be answered and remain under investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau and the District Attorney. Vasquez said the media will be informed of the final outcome of the investigation as soon as it is available from the homicide bureau.

New traffic signals improve safety, traffic flow near two Menifee schools MENIFEE – Menifee motorists will see new traffic signals have been installed at two busy intersections in the city. Traffic engineers turned on signals last week at the intersection of Holland and Bradley Roads near Paloma High School, and at Aldergate and Menifee Roads near Freedom Crest Elementary

School.

The city collaborated with the Menifee United School District to address safety and traffic challenges near local schools. These new traffic lights are part of the solution Menifee is incorporating to create a safer environment for both pedestrians and motorists.

The city has also adjusted speed limits and used Safe Routes to Schools grant funds to improve sidewalks and accessibility near some schools.

“Working together with the school district to address safety issues is a great example of how the city works to improve our

residents’ quality of life,” said City Engineer and Public Works Director Jonathan Smith. “Unfortunately, installing these traffic signals took longer than expected due to equipment being on backorder from the manufacturer, but the end result is an improvement to traffic flow and pedestrian safety.”

Motorists are reminded to observe speed limits, especially the reduced speed limit in school zones.

PARK from page A-1 comments portion of the workshop. Following Lane’s statement only a dozen spoke on the issue.

The Equestrian Center workshop was called by the council to clarify and discuss the center’s future uses following a controversial lease agreement for the center’s pasture arranged by city staff before being brought to the council in May. When council members found out that the Request for Proposal to rent the pasture at the northeast end of the 22-acre property had already been made before they were notified by staff they called a public meeting to further discuss the lease. Some residents complained the action by staff may have been illegal demanding an explanation.

Lea Kolek, Parks and Recreation Manager, giving the council a background report on the Park’s uses at the workshop said the RFP was accepted by the staff with the intent of generating revenue for the park’s operation.

“Staff, while well intentioned, got ahead of the City Council.

The City Council had not yet established a vision for the park or authorized such action, and staff did not have the proper approval to issue the RFP,” Kolek said.

Specifically, she said that while some options to raise revenue for the center’s operation were discussed the RFP that was approved did not address having a business for profit out of the pasture area. If a business were to operate out of the facility any RFP would have to allow other businesses to bid on the lease.

The temporary lease for use of the pasture was given to Tracy

Kuchan of Reata Ranch. Reata Ranch offers riding lessons, boarding and classes on the care and feeding of horses. The ranch boasts that their classes teaching people how to ride and care for horses enhances their confidence and self-esteem.

Kolek said when City Manager Rick Dudley found out about the staff initiated RFP “all activity on it was stopped.” Being informed of the problem Kuchen, the RFP’s sole respondent, appeared before the City Council in September to explain her use of the pasture area and her need to immediately find a place to stable her own horses.

After hearing from her and her many supporters the Council allowed her to use the pasture on a temporary basis. They said she would be required to vacate the property after suitable notice and was cautioned not to make costly improvements that could not be taken with her. Kuchan now has nearly 30 horses temporarily stabled on the property.

The council agreed to extend her lease/rental agreement with Kuchen for another 90 days until

the council could meet in January to create a vision for the future use of the property.

In response to the allegations that a conspiracy existed and an illegal action taken by staff Councilman Rick Gibbs said, “That’s just a bunch of crap!”

Councilman Harry Ramos, recently removed from his mayoral seat following a misconduct investigation, disagreed saying there should be an investigation into the staff actions in the matter.

Following Kolek’s presentation on the Equestrian Park the remaining residents asking to be heard at the workshop took the microphone, each having three minutes to speak. The residents, mostly from the Olive Hill neighborhood, almost all complained that the park was not being used as an equestrian center as it was meant to be. Their major complaint was the city-offered wedding ceremonies in the Center’s park area. The center’s park has been upgraded by city maintenance crews and has become popular place to conduct weddings in the city. Residents have been complaining since the

weddings began, that they were creating far too much noise and disturbing those living in and around the area.

One Olive Hill resident, Kristen Johnson, said “The noise is just obnoxious.”

Mark Winslow another resident said, “You just have to quit having weddings there.”

The majority of the speakers agreed that when the city creates a new vision the Equestrian Park it should be used only as it was intended, as an equestrian center, and that the wedding venue needs to be discontinued.

Lane said that the council, after a conducting a future vision meeting, may well recommend that the Park’s future should only be used for equestrian events as the speakers suggested. A police dog training located in a small area in the facility was also discussed and for the most part was not criticized by the speakers.

The council recommended holding a public hearing and discussion on a vision for the Equestrian Center at the Jan. 19 City Council meeting.

Local AMAC calls for a unified effort to resolve the denial of COLA issues for seniors WASHINGTON, DC – The Association of Mature American Citizens has called for a massive, concerted effort by other advocacy groups to put pressure on Congress and the President to “fix the impending financial dilemma facing America’s seniors.”

AMAC President Dan Weber made his challenge in the wake of “the roar of rhetoric from political office seekers and other who pursue personal gain” in the wake of news that there’ll be no cost of living increase in Social Security benefits next year.

Compounding the situation, he said, is news that premiums and deductibles for Medicare benefits are poised to increase sharply.

He called on all associations and organizations that care about the

needs of those who need their benefits in order to survive to “stop talking and do something.”

“Words are not enough. AMAC has had boots on the ground since its founding in 2007, confronting members of Congress to give older Americans who rely on Social Security and Medicare relief. And, we would welcome reinforcements.”

Weber said that “a lion’s share of our association’s budget and effort is devoted to the task. We’ve established a well-oiled Social Security advocacy machine with the sole purpose of keeping tabs on developments that impact these important sources of economic stability for older seniors.

Our aim is to force Congress and the President to do the right thing by

America’s senior citizens and provide a COLA for Social Security recipients and a means to slow, if not stop, increases in their costs for Medicare.”

He noted that it was only after it was announced that 59 million Social Security recipients would not receive a COLA increase in 2016 that it became an issue. AMAC is pressing for an increase of at least 1 percent cost of living increase next year. Social Security has not been a priority for many advocates for the elderly in their day to day activities.

Meanwhile, politicos seeking office at long last recognized it was an election campaign issue, Weber said.

“There’s a lot of shouting from the sidelines but not very many activists in the halls of Congress sitting down with lawmakers in an effort to prevent an outright disaster for seniors next year. It’s what we do, however, and it works.”

The denial of COLA is the result of a flat year-to-year Consumer Price Index, a major component of which is the price of gasoline which fell sharply from 2014 to 2015. But seniors don’t drive as much as the general population. Their chief expenses are for essentials including medical attention, food, housing and utilities, all of which increased during that period.

President Obama may have already realized it was a mistake to forego the COLA, Weber said. The White House, in fact, acknowledged that the president is concerned about the unintended consequences of the decision, he noted. “Perhaps there is still an opportunity to exert pressure and achieve a fair deal for seniors via Congressional action. If there is still a chance then it is our obligation to try to make it happen.”

A White House spokesman has indicated that the president may be willing to compromise. He said that the administration has actually reached out to lawmakers with a view to finding a resolution for the issue.

“AMAC certainly will continue to urge Senators and Representatives in one-on-one meetings to make the issue a budget priority. Our Congressional outreach will be increased until this issue is resolved and we urge all the other senior organizations to join us.”

HONOR from page A-1 graders who come from Murrieta Valley Unified School District to visit the field and learn the history that goes along with it. This will be something the group will expand on at this year’s event, said Jann Gentry, Murrieta Rotary’s director of public relations.

“One of the things that is growing is the kind of response we are getting and the number of people involved,” she said. “In the last few years we have taken all of the kids from the Murrieta School District who have field trips onto the Field. What is new this year is we have included the Lake Elsinore School District and we’ve included a couple of schools in Temecula who wanted to get in on it as well.”

Gentry said the number of stu-

dents who will visit the Field of Honor has doubled with the addition of the new students who will tour the Field throughout the week. Students taking the tour are educated on the flags, the sacrifices, the history and what the field is all about. She said the group is excited to reach out to more children in their efforts to teach them about patriotism.

“This is the age at which they are learning about our country and the wars and the things that make our country great,” she said. “How do you give them real life visual effects that this is what happened and this is why we are free? So to double the number of students attending the Field is very exciting for us.”

Another new aspect to the Field of Honor this year is the Hero of

the Month, said Gentry.

“One of the things that is brand new this year is the Hero of the Month, that hasn’t happened before and it is basically Social Media output. The Hero of the Month is nominated and chosen by a committee from the Murrieta Rotary Club and then they get their photograph and their story to the different media outlets.”

Gentry said that if the Field of Honor honors heroes, then the group believed they should start honoring living heroes too.

The Field of Honor was brought to the group as a way to recognize the sacrifices of veterans living in the Temecula Valley by Rotarian Bob Bryant. Bryant learned about a similar event while attending a national Rotary conference. Bryant, who served in Vietnam, said he noticed when he came home from war it was a different environment for those who had served in what was an unpopular conflict.

“There wasn’t a lot of support for those returning at that time.

Part of me wanted to ensure that when our folks are coming home from conflict, I wanted to make sure that they know we appreciate what they have gone through and what they sacrificed,” Bryant told Valley News in an interview prior to last year’s event.

Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces are not the only ones who are honored during the event; local emergency responders, fire, police and paramedics are also recognized both in the opening ceremony held last weekend and on the field. But what people consider to be a hero is varied according to their life events, one woman put up a flag for her doctor a few years ago after she went through cancer treatment.

There have been flags placed for teachers, principals and others who have made a difference in people’s lives.

The Field of Honor grows bigger each year. This year more flags have been added to the Local Heroes Field, honoring the more than 100 men and women from the region who have died in the line of duty fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003. A second section recognizes Californians who have received the Medal of Honor, the country’s highest military decoration that is awarded for life saving acts during war. The final section displays the 27 versions of the American flag that have officially flown over the country since the

EDUCATION

Kim Harris Managing Editor Rhythmic drums and raucous guitar chords resonate through the building as a group of teens practice their take on the Black Sabbath classic “Paranoid.” The group delves deeper into the song and as suddenly as they began the spirited performance, they are stopped by Music Director Peter LeClair mid-chord.

“That sounds great, let’s take it from the top,” LeClair said, as the teens excitedly prepared to launch into the opening chords once again.

This is the daily grind at School of Rock, a performance based music school in Temecula where people of all ages come to sharpen their skills in musical genres such as classic rock, the smooth sounds of jazz and everything in between.

New to town, some think the School of Rock was based on the popular 2003 Jack Black film

with the same title, but it is actually the other way around Manager Kristin Kidd said.

“That movie was made based on us,” Kidd said. “Not the other way around. We have School of Rocks all across the world, it’s pretty cool.

We are an established school with an established method of doing things that just works.”

But it’s not just about the music at School of Rock, it’s about building friendships and having fun with people who have the same goals and interests, said Kidd. The school offers not only practice rooms for private and band lessons but also rehearsal rooms Soren Crisell, 15, takes the lead guitar solo during the School of Rock Band practice’s rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.”

and a student lounge where students can hang out before or after practice or just because they want to.

“Parents know it’s a safe place to be and the kids think it’s like their room at home, only bigger,” said Kidd. “The student lounge is usually filled with teens on rehearsal days.”

The school teaches all levels of musicians from beginners to those who are looking to polish their skills. Playing with musicians at different levels helps students to improve their skills, Kidd said.

“We have a lot of beginners oftentimes but when we have kids who are more advanced who have been playing guitar for five years and I really want to learn jazz theory, we love doing that,” Kidd said. “It’s fun when you are playing with multiple levels of people. Our bands are like 20 kids and it’s more like a group setting so let’s say you are more advanced than someone else, you are going to need more songs to challenge you and that would allow you to play a bunch of songs.”

School of Rock isn’t just for kids, the plan is to start an adult band in November, said Kidd.

“The adult program is really fun,” she said. “I call it musical therapy once a week because as an adult it’s something that you’ve always wanted to learn or just need a place to go jam with people who love music like you do.”

Adults have the choice of doing just lessons or band or both, whatever fits their needs, Kidd said.

Monthly tuition includes a private lesson each week and band practice every week and students are welcome to come by to hang out, use the rooms that are available, practice on their own or with their friends, according to Kidd. Students can bring their own instruments and amplifiers if they need to work on something specific or they can use the instruments provided by the school.

School of Rock is open Tuesday through Friday from 2 to 8 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 to 5 p.m. Tuition prices begin around $250 a month.

“As we grow, we’ll be open seven days a week,” Kidd said, adding that the pricing is comparable to other music schools when looking at price per minute. “A lot of places are standard but here it depends on how old you are, what you are doing and what program you would be in.”

The culmination of all of students’ hard work is a concert at a real venue every three to four months.

The school is still researching venues for performances in the area, Kidd said.

One man has been arrested in conjunction with a burglary and a string of fraud cases in Temecula, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department reported on Thursday, Oct. 22.

According to a press release written by Sgt. Geoffrey Green, officers assigned to the Temecula Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team, were conducting follow-up investigations regarding a burglary and several fraud cases in the city of Temecula in October.

“On Oct. 22, SET officers contacted a person of interest, Omar

Young, 32, of Temecula, while he was driving away from his house,” Green wrote in the release Young is currently on probation for possession of stolen property.

Officers conducted a probation search of Young’s vehicle. They found a loaded firearm concealed in the vehicle. Officers then went to his residence where they found items stolen from a residence and a business.

Other items used in fraudulent business transactions were also found, the press release reported.

Young was arrested for multiple charges including a felon in possession of a firearm and burglary. He remains in custody at the Southwest

Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Deputy Punzalan or Investigator Holder at the Southwest Station (951) 696-3000.

The Temecula Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff’s Office would like to encourage residents and business owners to partner with the department to help prevent crimes of theft by reducing the opportunity.

There are certain practices and behaviors that are deterrents to many crimes of opportunity.

The department reminds business owners to securely lock doors and

windows to homes and vehicles to prevent easy access by unauthorized persons and: Consider installing motion-detector lighting systems for the exterior of homes and businesses.

Do not leave keys, purses, wallets, or other valuables exposed in unoccupied or parked vehicles.

Report suspicious persons and vehicles you observe in your neighborhood.

Handle your personal and financial information and/or documents with security in mind.

Report any crimes to the police department as soon as you reasonably can.

Two arrested for narcotics violations and gun possession Kim Harris Managing Editor Murrieta Police Department announced the arrest of a post-release community service probationer and one other person following a traffic stop Oct. 19.

The stop occurred at 10:52 p.m. near Kalmia Street and Adams Avenue and the driver was identified as Jacki Lynn Cason, a Post Release Community Supervision Probation-

er, according to a press release issued by the agency. Cason’s passenger, Paul Joseph Munoz, admitted to the officers during the stop he was is possession of narcotics paraphernalia.

Both Cason and Munoz exited the vehicle and were detained by officers.

During a search of Cason’s vehicle, officers located over nine ounces of marijuana, as well as concentrated cannabis (aka honey oil), cash and a digital scale, the release reported.

Both Cason and Munoz were arrested.

As the investigation continued into the night, it became apparent that Munoz was possibly in possession of a firearm at his home in Murrieta. Detectives were called in to assist and a search warrant for Munoz’s Murrieta home was authored.

The warrant was served at 6 a.m. and a rifle, along with illegal prescription pills was recovered.

Based on Cason’s PRCS status,

her home in Murrieta was also searched by detectives. Another pound of marijuana was recovered at Cason’s home during that follow up search.

Because Cason is a PRCS (AB109) offender; her person, vehicle and home are subject to search by law enforcement. AB-109, also known as California State Realignment, was signed into law in November 2011. It allows thousands of less serious felony offenders to

remain out of custody and in the local community. Prior to AB-109, Cason would have been eligible for state prison.

Because Munoz is a convicted felon, he is not permitted to own or possess a firearm. He remains in custody at the Southwest Detention Center in lieu of $50,000 bail.

As of press time, Cason also remains in custody at the Detention Center. Her bail is set at $20,000, according to jail records.

p.m., the child, described only as a fourth grade male, approximately 9-years-old, had been located at his residence and found to be safe.

The child’s mother was contacted and no further actions were taken at that time.

The deputies’ investigation revealed the child had not gone to school at all and had not notified his mother he would not be attending

school that day.

Speaking about the incident, Joe Parla, the Assistant Principal for the school said, “We take matters like this very seriously. As soon as we had the report of an unaccounted child, we immediately began the process necessary to locate him.

However, I can assure everyone at this point the student is fine and I have seen him myself.”

Missing 9-year-old found at home Trevor Montgomery Writer After a brief scare Tuesday morning over the report of a missing/unaccounted for child from Vail Ranch Elementary School, the unidentified child has been found safe and was never in any danger, according to a Riverside County Sheriff Department Spokesman

Deputy Armando Munoz.

At around 11 a.m. Tuesday morning, administrators for Vail Ranch Elementary School realized during their normal daily attendance count that they had a child who was unaccounted for. Per the school’s policy, an attendance call was made to the child’s mother, who insisted her child was supposed to be at school.

Based on the child’s unknown

whereabouts and the mother’s concern, a call was made to the Temecula Police Department at around 12:45 p.m. to report the school had a child who was missing or unaccounted for.

Multiple officers from the Temecula Police Department immediately responded to the school and began an investigation into the reported missing child. By 1:30

Old Town blaze causes $20,000 in damages Trevor Montgomery Writer TEMECULA – Riverside County Fire Department responded to multiple reports of a commercial structure fire on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The report, which came in around 3:59 a.m. claimed that smoke was coming from a building in the 42000 block of Main Street in Old Town Temecula.

According to an incident report issued by Riverside County Fire Department, the first arriving engine company reported finding light smoke coming from the first and second floors of a two-story business at the location, described as a commercial strip mall.

A press release from the Riverside County Fire Department reported approximately 20 firefighters had contained the fire to a vehicle and room

of origin. Five companies responded specifically because the blaze broke out in Old Town, Riverside County Fire Department Spokeswoman April Newman said.

The release estimated the damage to be around $20,000, although it is too early to tell the full extent of the damage and losses. There were no reported evacuations associated with the blaze.

The fire reportedly broke out at

Nick’s Knacks, a specialty store in the city’s historic Old Town district. The fire destroyed antiques, keepsakes, candles and other unique items carried by the store, which is owned by Shana Ackerman.

Ackerman, a resident of Temecula, said it took her years to gather all of the various merchandise and products she carried at the store.

Now that all her merchandise has

been damaged or destroyed, Ackerman said she had no idea what her next move will be. She said she also was worried the fire could affect as many as five other stores that she leases inside the same complex. Until she knows the full extent of the damage and the financial loss of Nick’s Knacks being closed, she has no idea how the fire and closure will affect her other businesses in the same building.

MENIFEE – Cub Scout Pack 374 in Menifee collected food for Retrievers and Friends of Southern California, Inc., a local animal shelter.

Denise Boring, Webelos den leader, and her den were working on a community service project and saw a need for food and other treats at RFSC. The boys collected these items at meetings during the summer. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, fourteen cub scouts helped unload over 600 pounds of food they had collected for the animals. The majority of the food collected was dog food, but also collected was cat food, rabbit food, treats, collars, and leashes. Liz and Nancy, who run and operate RFSC, gave

the scouts, leaders, and parents a tour of the facility and taught the boys about their rescue and the importance of caring for animals.

The Webelos den worked very

hard on this community service project and RFSC was overwhelmed with the amount of food donated, a press release issued by the Pack reported

Pets depend on us so know the signs and symptoms of Evans Syndrome Kim Harris Managing Editor Originally I was going to write this week’s column on remembering our veterans, but I will hold that thought for a week to discuss something a little more personal to me, my love affair with my pets.

I know I have written about them before, but this time things are different, I promise.

My dogs and our one cat are like children to me. They take up a lot of time with all of the petting, feeding, walking and even cleaning up required of a pet owner, but they all bring me joy in their own little ways.

The cat, like most cats, is aloof and cool and always lets me know when it is time for some attention, sometimes flopping down on my keyboard while I am working at home. We have an older dog that

is super fun, she runs, jumps and chases the other’s around, but when they get out of hand, she turns into their Mama, letting them know right from wrong and what is acceptable. The Chihuahua is the queen bee, her attitude of being better than all of all totally cracks me up. She hates it when she falls down or slips on the hardwood and realizes we have seen her be less than perfect, hanging her head and slinking away to lick her selfimposed exile until enough time has passed that she believes we have forgotten all about what she perceives to be less than perfect behavior. The baby of the group, a Pekingese and the only boy, is rough and tumble but quick to drop to the floor for a belly rub when anyone is within a 10 foot vicinity of him.

Then there was Sandy. A Min Pin Schnauzer mix, she was al-

ways loving and kind. This spunky girl was patient, always waiting her turn at dinner time, and super sensitive to our moods, oftentimes laying her head in my lap in an attempt to comfort me after a bad day.

Sandy passed away last week, after fighting a disease known as Evans Syndrome for only five days. It’s an insidious illness that manifests quickly, many times without any particular cause. Her body attacked its own red blood cells and platelets, creating the inability to for the blood to clot.

In the days following her diagnosis we spent thousands trying to save her, but ultimately an internal bleed caused her untimely demise and she died in my arms, comfortable and feeling loved thanks to the efforts of my husband, myself and our veterinarian. Only a few short days later as I write this, a

tear comes to my eye as I think about the loss my family and I have suffered.

So why am I writing about this particular incident which is near and dear to my heart this week?

Because Evans Syndrome, while not a common disease, is something that all pet owners should be aware of. Caught early enough, many dogs recover from the illness, about two-thirds of them, according to our vet.

The signs and symptoms of this auto immune disorder are sometimes hard to spot but can include lethargy, loss of appetite, bruises on the skin, small red spots on the white parts of the eyes, nose bleeds, bloody urine, bloody stools, pale gums, vomiting and with more advanced cases, such as Sandy’s, swelling in the abdominal area.

I would encourage all pet own-

The governor has decided Marie Waldron Special to Valley News According to statistics from the Governor’s office, this year Governor Brown signed 808 bills and vetoed 133, for a total of 941 bills.

With over 2,300 new bills introduced, that’s a veto rate of about 14 percent.

Among the bills signed and vetoed, there were a number of surprises, and some that weren’t so surprising. Among the surprises, the Governor vetoed labor-backed legislation that would have allowed

workers to take up to 12 weeks off to care for sick family members, including siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, domestic partners and parents-in-law. Current law only allows that benefit for sick children, parents or spouses.

Governor Brown signed “rightto-die” legislation for the terminally ill, but vetoed the “right to try” bill that would have allowed terminally ill patients to use experimental drugs as a last resort.

In spite of recent investigations and ongoing criticism of the California Public Utilities Commission,

w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

a package of bills aimed at reforming the PUC, including legislation which attempted to rein in conflicts of interest among commissioners, was vetoed.

The Governor signed a bill that automatically registers people to vote who apply for new or renewed drivers’ licenses, increasing the likelihood of fraudulent voting by illegal immigrants. He also signed a package of bills establishing regulations to govern production, transportation and sale of medical marijuana.

In another surprising move,

Governor Brown vetoed a bipartisan bill that attempted to rein in Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit abuse by establishing a short window for small businesses to correct deficiencies in their compliance with the Act before being sued.

Agree or disagree, eight months of debate, discussion and late-night committee hearings by 120 legislators eventually comes down to the final decisions of one individual.

What is democratic socialism?

Jane Chastain Special to Valley News Bernie Sanders, a socialist, has achieved quite a following in the race for the Democratic nomination for president. How many of his followers really know what he stands for?

There was a telling moment in the first Democratic presidential debate in which Anderson Cooper tried to pin him down. It took several tries, but Cooper finally backed him into a corner when he said, “You don’t consider yourself a capitalist, though?”

Sanders’ final answer to that simple question was, “No, I don’t.”

Sanders calls himself a democratic socialist – so what exactly is that?

A trip to the Democratic Socialist of America’s website, www.dsausa. org, will help put things in perspective. However, once there, you have to wade through a lot of verbiage to get to the bottom line.

Here are the essentials: The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.

(About DSA) We are socialists because we reject an economic order based on private profit.(Constitution: Purpose) We are activists committed to democracy as not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. (About DSA) So there you have it.

There are two basic economic systems at work in the world today: 1) The free market (private enterprise), better known as capitalism, and 2) socialism.

In the free market or capitalist system, individuals own property.

Individuals also own the means of production and set the price for

their goods and services.

In the socialist system, everything is owned collectively by the government. The government also owns the means of production and controls the distribution.

The important questions for your to consider are these: In which of these two economic systems are the people free? And, are you really willing to give up your freedom for free stuff?

There are two ways a capitalism system becomes a socialist or communist system: By revolution, it simply creeps in over time.

This famous quote by Alexander Fraser Tytler sums it up.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

In reality, it is hard to find a pure capitalist or socialist system in the world today. Most capitalist systems have at least some socialist programs, and socialism often gives way to communism or a dictatorship. The average life of a democracy is about 200 years.

Our Founding Fathers wisely left the power in the hands of the people, where the government had very little control. Over the years, that has changed.

You have to hand it to Sanders.

He is more honest than most of his Democratic counterparts. He wants to dismantle our capitalism system, not by a revolution, but gradually through the ballot box: thus the

term “democratic socialism.”

During the debate, Hillary Clinton offered these weak statements in defense of capitalism: “I don’t think we should confuse what we have to do every so often in America, which is save capitalism from itself. … And it’s our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn’t run amok and doesn’t cause the kind of inequities we’re seeing in our economic system.”

The political arm of the DSA is the congressional Progressive Caucus. Until 1999, it was part the DSA with Nancy Pelosi listed as a prominent member of the executive committee. However, once it was exposed, the caucus disappeared from dsausa.org and reappeared (minus Pelosi who was speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011) as an official arm of the House Democratic caucus. Presently, besides Sen. Sanders, there are 69 other declared progressive (socialist) Democrats, all in the House of

Representatives, all in safe seats.

Don’t underestimate their collective power. When Democrats last controlled the House, of the 20 standing committees, 10 of the most important were chaired by these progressives.

Make no mistake: Democracy and socialism cannot be combined.

It’s like trying to mix oil and water.

Socialists believe that man can be perfected. Therefore, an all powerful government must be established until man no longer is capable of evil and utopia is reached.

A democracy is based on the idea that we are created equal but imperfect. Perfection is the business of God. Therefore, this country has laws, checks and balances to protect us from each other and the government.

Are you really willing to change that?

What appears to be just a tummy ache, which is what we thought Sandy had, can sometimes be something much worse and only your veterinarian can determine the severity of the problem.

As far as my beloved little blonde dog, Sandy, she has crossed the rainbow bridge, but I can only hope that her story would save other pets from the same fate.

Highest-grossing horror films perfect for Halloween Are you a scary movie buff? Do you relish in the building music and the jump-out-of-your-seat moments that unleash from you a primal scream? Many people share a love of scary movies and have made the horror genre one of the most popular.

No month of the year celebrates horror movies more than October.

Each October, movie theaters, television stations and viewers countdown to Halloween with flick after flick, featuring gore, suspense and pure horror.

Many horror movies were inspired by classic literature, including works from Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Gaston Leroux. Horror films often incorporate mystery, suspense, supernatural elements, and fantasy in addition to themes that play on viewers’ fears. Evil creatures, witches, zombies, serial killers, and many additional nasty characters may appear in horror films.

Horror film fans can trace scary movies’ origins back to the late 19th century. Some credit silent film pioneer George Melies with creating the first horror movie, which was titled “La Manoir du Diable (The Manor of the Devil).”

Japanese filmmakers also were instrumental in popularizing the horror genre.

Popular literary characters, from Dracula to Dr. Frankenstein’s monster to Mr. Hyde to Quasimodo, have appeared in horror movies.

Many horror movies have focused on the end of the world and the occult. Psychological horror movies also have proven quite popular with audiences, as have slasher movies, which became quite popular in the 1980s and 1990s.

Many horror movie fans have a favorite subgenre, but many also will gladly watch any flick that puts a scare in them. Some horror movies have had more box office success than others, and the follow-

“The Blair Witch Project” ($141 million): When three film students

“The Silence of the Lambs” ($131 million): Few filmgoers can forget Anthony Hopkins’ Oscarwinning turn as Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter, who works in conjunction with naive FBI cadet Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) to catch a vicious killer on the loose.

“The Ring” ($129 million): This film is a remake of a classic Japanese ghost story and made many viewers want to avoid their televisions after watching it.

Halloween is the perfect time to break out the scary movies for a night of frights at home.

OLD TOWN

TEMECULA

This page partially sponsored by the Truax Management Group in support of Old Town merchants, the Old Town Temecula Association and the Temecula Theatre Foundation.

‘Seussical, the Musical’ succeeds on all levels

The Mayor (Gene Sitts) and the rest of Whoville in “Here on Who.”

Horton (Scott Woodbury) is determined to prove that Whoville’s alive and well on his pink clover because a “person’s a person, no matter how small.” Wickershams (Katie Backstrom, Calah Olson, Cody Leorna) Jungle Animals (Jonte Caruso, Joseph Nash).

Beverly Nault Writer Introducing children of all ages to live theater can be a tricky undertaking, but recently Fine Arts Network succeeded with its production of “Seussical, the Musical.” With a fairly large cast, colorful costumes, and a lively set, the company put their best dancing feet and rhyming songs forward in a show that’s become an audience favorite.

Drawing from several of Dr. Seuss’ beloved stories, the show’s almost an operetta with more music than dialog, which may appeal more to younger fans because of its steady pace and action. A fair barometer of a good show is the attentiveness of the audience, and from the first glimpse of the red-andwhite striped hat spotlighted center stage, Seussical delivered. Director Brittany Campbell tackled a huge

cast and a complicated show with the maturity of a company that’s been striving toward bringing quality theater to Temecula for several years.

Reminiscent of Seuss’ illustrations, the set was punctuated by the requisite palms and a simple but effective cutout backdrop in primary colors. The costumes by Beverly Stephenson were equally as colorful and appropriate. With a cast of almost thirty, the choreography wasn’t strenuous or demanding, but worked with the music while allowing all ages and levels of experience to participate.

There were several standout performances and memorable moments. Julie Schwaben brought excellent comedic timing and beautiful voice to Gertrude McFuzz, the tail-challenged bird who falls for Horton. Horton, played by Scott Woodbury, effected the balance of pitiful with optimistic as he lived out the lively imaginings of

JoJo, played by Sean Barnett, invites the audience to imagine the “thinks they can think!”

JoJo swims under the sea in his imagination because “It’s Possible.”

Sean Barnett’s JoJo, led by the promptings of The Cat, Thomas Fisk. Fisk carried the mantle of the iconic, mischievous feline with wonderful humor and lovely voice, and charmed the audience in a special few moments interacting with them. One can’t forget the comings and goings of Thing 1 and Thing 2 as Dylan Dewald and Sierra Snow danced and assisted the Cat, adding a special touch of fun to their scenes.

Another highlight was John Campbell’s General Schmitz, military school commander fresh from the “Battle of Butter” whose mere acting talent would have been enough, but his comedic delivery and command of the vocal drill deserve a special salute. Victoria Patton ruffled lots of feathers in a good way with her vocal range as Mayzie La Bird, and Heather Thomas’s Sour Kangaroo hit some impressive strong notes as well.

Wild Wild West Hoedown to benefit Charity for Charities Kim Harris Managing Editor It’s time to put on your cowboy boots, dust off that cowboy hat and mosey on down to Peltzer Farms for the first ever Wild Wild West Hoedown to benefit Charity for Charities. The event, scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 1 from 2 – 7 p.m. promises to be filled with fun and excitement for the entire family, according to Charity Prestifilippo, founder and president of the 501(c) (3) that sponsors the popular event, Stars of the Valley.

There will be a professional country DJ from the Temecula Stampede located in Old Town spinning tunes for line dancing and Third Street Smokehouse will be on hand with mouth-watering barbeque and drinks, including wine and beer available for purchase.

“The DJ is being sponsored by John and Kristy Giardinelli who are both part owners of the Stampede,” Prestifilippo said.

During the hoedown, there will be pictures with Piper the horse, a train ride, bobbing for apples, cornhole, bocce ball, a petting zoo, pig races and face painting.

Prestifilippo said that her family’s love affair with horses was the perfect way to create a fundraiser where entire families could be involved with Charity for Charities.

“We had been racking our brains for something different and original

for families to be able to participate in raising money for Charities for Charity,” she said. “In the past, the events that we have had have always been geared towards adults.

With the hoedown, I thought this is perfect to get families involved in raising money for a great cause.”

Pony rides will be available for $5 a ride and a chicken squat 50/50 raffle will also be held.

“You pick which number the chicken is going to squat on,” Prestifilippo explained with a laugh.

There will also be a 50/50 raffle for the pig races and Palumbo Family Vineyards, Lorimar Vineyards and Winery, Jooya, Aftershock and many other vendors on hand. Charity for Charities T-shirts will also be available for purchase. A portion of the proceeds from all vendors will be donated to the nonprofit.

Peltzer Farms is located at 39925 Calle Contento in Temecula. Payment can be made in advance online at www.charityforcharities. org or at the door the day of the event. Prices are $10 for adults, $5 for a child and kids ages 5 and under are free.

After the Wild Wild West Hoedown is over, Charity for Charities will begin focusing on the 10th anniversary of Stars of the Valley, Prestifilippo said.

“These things are great for Christmas or birthday gifts,” said Fink.

He said he particularly likes to restore photos from wars and historical photographs or photographs of paintings. He never uses the originals, but scans them into a computer and works on them from there.

he said wanted to do the same thing with his photos. There his business “Save Your Legacy” began as more and more friends began asking him to restore their photos and memorabilia.

“What I do is not just for the everyday photo or item, it is for those special things the family wants to keep forever,” he said.

Fink said he has thousands of pictures on his computer of items or photos now that have been restored or burned on aluminum, plastic or wood.

“I can even do coffee cups,” he said.

Fink showed his audience at the talk a number of old photographs some dating back to the 1800s he had restored for his customers and

Agent Orange while in Vietnam. As he went through almost debilitating chemotherapy he said he began to think about his mortality once again.

He said he had a strong desire to leave something of his memories to his family before he died.

He found hundreds of photos from his time in Vietnam, his ancestors and family happenings. Some of the photos were deteriorating, but he was determined to save them and find a way to keep them from future damage. Reading about a method of restoring and preserving photos through wood and metal lamination and having a good knowledge of Photoshop he went to work on his photographs and pictures. He showed one his finished photos to a friend who

Faced with his mortality more than once, Vietnam Veteran Rod Fink relayed his life story as both a survivor of the Vietnam War and the cancerous effect of Agent Orange, during a talk at Murrieta’s Mail Center & More Oct.22.

Fink’s trials centered around what he saw as his own mortality in his more than 60 years led him to create a business called Save Your Legacy, that provides a service to those who wish to preserve the life and history of their families.

As a guest speaker at the Mail Center & More at 39520 Murrieta Springs Road Fink told a small audience about how he ended up as a senior corpsman for 26th Marine Regiment, 1st battalion, Ninth Marines, know in the Vietnam War as “The Walking Dead,” or the 9-1.

The 9-1 had the highest casualty rate in the war.

“There was a reason they called us the Walking Dead,” Fink said. Their forward base in Vietnam during the war was in the Con Thien territory which in their language means “Hill of The Angels.” He recalled that the Vietnamese army believed the Marines at that location had something to do with the death of Ho Chi Min, North Vietnam’s leader. He said their commander called the Marines at that location “Di bo Chet – The Walking Dead,” because they would all die at the hands of his army.

The Marines at Con Thien suffered 47 days of constant artillery shelling and ground attacks.

“It became the bloodiest battle of the war,” Fink recalled.

He said 31 Marines were lost in that battle. He, as the senior corpsman, attended to the wounds of many of the men, including his own senior corpsman that died later.

Facing the draft Fink said he like many others did not want to go to Vietnam. He said he joined the Navy, thinking he would not see ground combat, but because of his prior medical training, he ended up in the Marines and went through “Devil Doc School,” designed to train Marine corpsmen for combat assignments. He ended up in Vietnam where his fellow Marines on arrival told him don’t get into the 9-1, the Marine contingent in Vietnam who lost more men than any other in that war.

“Guess what, I was in the 9-1,” Fink said.

From 1967 to 1968 while Fink was in Vietnam, he saw not only action at Con Thien but in another major battle, the battle of Khe Sanh in Quang Tri Province. The battle of Khe Sanh pitted 6,000 Marines, Army Seabees, ARVIN, and Special Forces units against 20,000 regular North Vietnamese Army troops who occupied the hills surrounding the base camp. The 1968 battle was considered the longest, the deadliest and most controversial in the war.

Again the soldiers endured 77 days of constant shelling and ground attacks.

“We won that one,” he said. “After watching one after another of my senior corpsmen die I thought for sure that I was going to die in Vietnam.

That’s how I got up in rank. That’s how I was going to die.”

Faced with that thought of his own mortality he remembered taking off in one of the last military planes to leave Vietnam at the end of the United States involvement in the war.

“As we left Saigon I remembered thinking we still would die in the plane. But, when we got up to 10,000 feet everyone cheered,” Fink said, adding they were safe, for the time being.

As time went on Fink went to work in the computer programming field in Temecula Valley, married and was living a normal life, when he suddenly became ill with cancer.

Cancer doctors determined was the result of him being in contact with

Dia de Los Muertos Celebration set for Lake Elsinore Nov.1

Children will enjoy painting sugar skulls at the Nov. 1 Dia de Los Muertos Celebration in Lake Elsinore last year.

Two entertainment stages will be set up along Main Street in Lake Elisinore at the Dia de Los Muertos Celebration Sunday, Nov. 1.

Local families like this are encouraged to paint their faces in skull like designs to honor their dead ancestors.

LAKE ELSINORE – The fourth annual Dia De Los Muertos Celebration in downtown Lake Elsinore sponsored by the local non-profit arts cooperative Studio 395 will be held Sunday, Nov. 1.

Celebration will take place between noon and 5 p.m. along Main Street in the historic Lake Elsinore downtown area.

This event is being co-sponsored by the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce and the City of Lake Elsinore with additional funding coming from local businesses and a state arts and culture grant. This year the event will

include a full street closure along Main Street between Peck and Sulpher Roads in the downtown area providing a pedestrian parade route and vendors and artists booths. A live, four act music performance on the Main Stage will be located on Main at Graham and Spring Streets. A second acoustic stage will be located in front of City Hall in the area dedicated to a new Classic Car Invitational.

Studio 395 will be offering the opportunity for children to join in on craft projects related to the Dia De Los Muertos holiday. The children will be decorating sugar

skulls. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring a beer and wine garden during this event on their front lawn area.

Food trucks will be set up in a special area along Graham St. “We see this Dia De Los Muertos event as one that brings out not only our community but those in the area surrounding us to the Historic Downtown area and enjoy all the wonderful things scheduled for that afternoon and get a chance to visit the businesses on Main St. as well,” said Kim Cousins, executive director of the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The City of Lake Elsinore is covering some of the anticipated expenses and partnering on marketing through the local media.

The celebration is expected draw approximately 5,000 people. Last year’s event brought approximately 3,000 visitors. The Day of the Dead, as celebrated today, is focused on a gathering with friends and family for remembering and honoring ancestors and deceased loved ones.

Traditional ofrendas or altars are set up and decorated with flowers, photos and mementos of their ancestors along with food and drink for the spirits. The secular celebration goes back to pre-Columbian times and is a major holiday in Mexico. Today it is celebrated throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America as an opportunity for cultural expression and understanding.

For this year’s event, Studio 395 sought out and was awarded a Local Impact Grant by the California Arts Council that provides funding for community events focused on arts and culture. They are the only recipient for this grant in Riverside County and only one of two for the entire Inland Empire.

“Studio 395 looks to establish events and projects that will bring art and culture to our residents and the recent addition of an Arts and Culture Task Force in the City of Lake Elsinore shows that the city leadership sees value in that.

This event was one of the motivating factors for our council,”

said Grace Sandlin, treasurer for Studio 395.

Studio 395 is a non-profit artist cooperative with a mission of taking art into the community by engaging the underserved resident of the area, such as at risk youth and the lower income, in civic art projects or events that allow them to create so that they recognize and can improve their artistic skills.

Studio 395 has been fortunate to garner some key sponsorship for this event. At press time, the group is has committed support from Modelo/Negro Modelo, Castle and Cook, La Unica Restaurant and La Rebelde Winery. Interest in the event is being generated through a dedicated Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lakeelsinorediadelosmuertos) where regular posts explain about the history and icons of the holiday.

For further information call Rebecca Esquibel, at (951) 741-7337 or email Rebecca@studio395.org.

“This year’s celebration is truly a representation of a grass roots community event that brings everyone together to enjoy themselves with music, food and a parade but also to learn about the holiday and engage in art and culture,” said Esquibel, executive director for Studio 395 and the organizing committee chairman, “We were thrilled to get funding from the California Arts Council that will help us pay local artists and the musicians that entertain us.”

Darkness and Light premiere to be held in Temecula TEMECULA – On Sunday, Nov. 8, the West Coast premiere of the documentary “Darkness and Light: a human conversation with eleven wounded veterans” will take place in Temecula. The event is supported by the Gary Sinise Foundation and City of Temecula, who are presenting sponsor and co-sponsor, respectively.

The film was created by Thi Linh Wernau, an artist who founded the “You. Are. Beautiful.” photography project in 2012 to give back

to wounded veterans and their families. “Darkness and Light” augments the photographs from this series and celebrates the human spirit and beauty in our veterans.

This charity event will be held on the Sunday prior to Veterans Day at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, 42051 Main Street in Old Town Temecula from 4 through 8 p.m. and includes two ticketed events: a film presentation and a cocktail reception.

Guests will enjoy a movie, live

music, food, drinks, and have the opportunity to meet some of the cast and the filmmaker.

All proceeds benefit Gary Sinise Foundation, Semper Fi Fund, and Warfighter Made. Temecula’s own, Corporal Juan Dominguez, USMC, Retired, is one of the eleven veterans in the documentary and will be in attendance as co-host with the filmmaker.

Following the film presentation, Dominguez will participate in a special musical performance with

his band, Oli Brooklyn. Tickets for the movie and reception are available at www.TemeculaTheater.org.

Wernau worked with eleven different wounded veterans to produce this groundbreaking film, which exposes the humanity of ten post-9/11 Marine veterans and one Korean War soldier.

As the veterans struggle with wounds ranging from post-traumatic stress to triple amputation, Wernau focuses on their feelings and challenges as human beings.

The result is a poignant film, where themes around darkness and light post-war and the human spirit emerge in raw, candid and unscripted interviews.

“My hope was to portray veterans in a new light as beautiful human beings. ‘Darkness and Light’ was a way to give them a voice to inspire and help others. These wounded vets have sacrificed so much for our country. I wanted to give back by empowering them through art,” Wernau said.

TVHS presents ‘Frankenstein’ Ashley Haley Intern The Temecula Valley High School Drama Department is will present their fall production “Frankenstein” during November at the Golden Bear Theater.

Derek Heid, TVHS drama director, said the drama students are excited to present their version of “Frankenstein.” The drama department has decided to focus on Victor Frankenstein himself, and his obsession with his deeper relationship with his creature creation. Heid said it is more than just your usual monster story. This idea comes directly from the Frankenstein novel written

by Mary Shelley.

The play will tackle the dangers of obsession and the need for companionship and identity. The cast and crew range from freshmen to seniors who have been working to

produce this play since September.

Lubica Brown is a senior and plays the Creature itself. Brown said that preparing for her role was challenging because she had to learn male mannerisms.

“I had to learn how to crouch, bend, walk, and generally act like a male. However, every once in a while I still catch myself doing something ‘girly,’” she said.

She loves being in the drama program and has noted that this is her first time having a lead role in a play.

When asked about the cast and crew she replied, “They are always willing to give encouragement to myself and fellow actors.”

She spoke highly of Heid and his leadership skills.

“Frankenstein” can be seen at Temecula Valley High School in the Golden Bear Theatre. It will be playing Nov. 5, 6, 13, and 14 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available for the public at a cost of $10. Students in any kindergarten through 12th are only $8.

To order tickets in advance email dheid1@tvusd.k12.ca.us or call (951) 704-6995.

National Youth Arts and the Childress MACY Awards recognized the Temecula Valley High School drama students last school year for their outstanding performances.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens The Fall Garden

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello Fellow Gardeners and Neighbors! Where does the time go to? Can hardly believe it’s already Halloween – again! Anyway, the good news is the weather will be getting cooler and that’s always great for both us and our plants. I’d like to talk a bit about what to do in your garden at this time of year, October into November.

Obviously, as your leaves fall, you might like to tidy them up a bit and I suggest composting them of course, they’re too precious to just throw away and will really add to your compost pile, which I just know you have! Read my past articles on composting, should be able to pull one up from the internet edition of the paper, at www. myvalleynews.com. Personally I

love seeing orange and red leaves in the landscape and I don’t consider them messy but I guess I’m kind of different.

Something that I just started here at my house, and I suggest you might like to grow some as well, are Sweet Peas. What I do is soak the large seeds for a day or two, you will see some tiny white sprouts coming out of the seeds if you leave them in long enough (several days) and that’s ok. From this point you can start potting them, I’ve got four small pots with approximately eight baby plants in each pot now.

You could also put them right in the ground, but make sure they get watered regularly though. The reason you want to get these going now, they are “cool season” plants and they will be blooming their heads off right when you really would love to see some color in the garden, and not only that but the fragrance is to die for! Sweet peas are one of my absolute favorites for cutting and filling vases in the house with, that way you really get to enjoy not only their beauty but scent up close. Lots of varieties to choose from – I like the Heirloom or Old Fashioned varieties, and it will state that on the package, they twine and will need support like any vine or you can let them sprawl if you so desire. These are annual vines, but you can save the seeds, like I do, and plant again next year!

Tulips and daffodils in bloom.

They come in single colors, like scarlet, magenta, pink, lilac, white and bi-colored, or mixed.

Next recommendation on my list would be bulbs since this is the time of year to plant them, lots of varieties available, just make

sure they’re healthy good sized bulbs. I know Armstrong and most dedicated nurseries will carry good stock, not sure about the “big box” stores, but you can try them if you are on a tighter budget. One of my personal favorites are Paperwhites

(very fragrant) – in the same family as Daffodils – both are Narcissus and will do excellent in our climate zone. I like to “force” some into bloom early, before the normal

Various ways to put pumpkins to use TEMECULA – Few items signal the fall harvest season more than the bright, orange pumpkins that dot fields and liven up displays outside of homes and businesses. Come fall, many pumpkins are turned into grinning Jack-o-lanterns just in time for Halloween. But there are many other uses for pumpkins as well.

Pumpkins are believed to have originated in North America. Early Native Americans relied on pumpkins as a source of food that helped them survive long winters. Pumpkins could be roasted, baked, boiled, and dried, and they were eaten and used as medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added to stews. The shells of the pumpkins could be dried and used as eating and storage vessels.

While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the following are a handful of additional ways this versatile fruit can be put to use.

Pumpkins can be used as more than just tasty pie fillings.

Beauty regimen Pumpkins contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals that can help replenish the skin. Pumpkin puree can be mixed with honey, aloe vera gel, olive oil, and a bit of cornmeal to create an exfoliating

mask for the face or body. Pumpkin also can be used to rejuvenate dry or tired skin from cold weather.

Honey, pumpkin and yogurt can be mixed together and used to condition hair. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it out and shampoo.

Foods and beverages Pumpkin puree is the basis for many tasty, pumpkin-infused treats.

Puree can be used in pies, cakes, muffins, breads, and many additional foods. Pumpkin puree also may be found in certain beverages, such as smoothies and shakes. A bit of spiced puree may appear as flavoring in teas and coffees.

Roasted pumpkin seeds make a healthy treat. Foodies suggest using the seeds from sugar pumpkins or the ones best for making pies. Boil the seeds for a few minutes before draining. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and put the seeds in a single layer. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and serve.

Pumpkin wines and beers are popular as well. There are many recipes for developing sweet, fermented beverages, which tend to be

especially popular in the fall.

The “guts” of the pumpkin can be simmered along with aromatics and other vegetables to create a vegetable stock perfect for soups and broths.

Decorations Pumpkins can also add to one’s home decor during the fall. Pumpkins can be carved for Halloween displays, hollowed-out to hold tealights or simply left on tables and used as centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be used as natural flower pots for mums or other seasonal floral displays. As the Native Americans once did, pumpkins can be hollowed-out and used as bowls to serve favorite soups and dips.

Use a hollowed, small pumpkin as a natural aromatic candle holder.

Cut holes in the sides to vent the exhaust. Rub aromatic spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, on the inside of the pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle in the bottom of the pumpkin and let it send inviting aromas into the air.

Pumpkins are a versatile fruit that can serve many purposes beyond just jack-o-lanterns and pies.

Home & Garden / Real Estate times and make a beautiful display.

For those of you who actually grow your own veggies – good for you! This is the time, if you haven’t already, to get those cool season crops into the beds. You’ll find great selections at the nurseries, such as broccoli, kale, lettuce, carrots, and even biennials such as Parsley. Seeds will work, but take awhile to germinate and get going, so radishes and carrots are two of those, you don’t buy those in six packs!

November is probably the best month of the year for planting just about any type of ornamental shrubs and trees, they’ll have all winter to spread out roots and acclimate before the hot weather hits, and with the rain we’re expecting that will really give them a great start in your garden.

Don’t forget to amend the soil and compost is the best, especially home made, but any type of organics will

You will eventually see shoots coming up from the top – time to bring them out and give them some light! They will flower approximately 2-3 weeks later. You can do this with hyacinth bulbs, Amaryllis, and many others. I’m seeing Dutch Iris coming up in my garden right now, and its waaaay too early for them, must be the crazy weather. Also fun to mix bulbs in a large container, they usually come up at different

You’ll also be finding bare root roses and fruit at that time, and I will be doing another entire article on roses close to that time. I don’t know about your roses, but mine are blooming their heads off right now, October is usually the best bloom next to May of the year, they may continue into November as well, but don’t prune yet, late winter is when you’ll want to do that. I’ll let you know when and how.

I don’t really recommend fertilizing anything at this point, probably should have done that in September, because we don’t particularly want to encourage new growth heading into the winter months. Evergreens would be fine with some, especially if you see that they really needs, yellowing on green leaves would be a good sign that they need iron and nitrogen, I assume you’re not overwatering!

Our weather and seasons are so off now that my apple tree, I’ve got a Dwarf Fuji, produced one crop already, more are coming on about the size of golf balls, and also have blooms, all on the same tree at the same time! Crazy!

Well, that’s about it for this week, remember if you have any questions or topics you’d like to see written about here, please contact me and let me know. Have a great week out there in the garden!

How to tend to an indoor herb garden

Service & Real Estate Directory BUILD DESIGN/CONST.

FLOORING

REAL ESTATE

TEMECULA – Fresh herbs and recently picked ingredients can add flavor to any meal. A home chef can even improve the flavor of store-bought or prepared foods with an herb garnish that can transform otherwise bland dishes into something you’ll want to eat again and again.

Harvesting fresh herbs is easy for homeowners who have gardens right in their backyards. However, everyone does not have a backyard, and even those that do might find their gardens threatened by changing seasons or unwanted critters. When gardens are moved indoors, the bounty of fresh ingredients continues no matter the date on the calendar.

Herb gardens are perhaps some of the easiest gardens to cultivate indoors because they don’t require large pots or much space. The plants themselves are relatively compact, and it only takes a pinch of herbs to give a meal some extra flavor.

When growing herbs indoors, your indoor growing area must have adequate light to simulate the longer days of summer; otherwise, the plants may go dormant. It’s ideal to have a southern exposure on the herbs, with at least eight hours of sunlight per day. If you do not live in a particularly sunny locale, consider supplementing the plants with grow lights, which will provide the full spectrum of light the plants need to thrive.

Indoor air can become too dry for herbs, so you will need to compensate by providing humidity. While there may be added humidity in a kitchen greenhouse window, it still may not be enough to keep the plants healthy.

Think about misting the plants daily to create some extra humidity, or place herb pots on top of a water-filled tray

with pebbles so the evaporating water will add moisture without making the roots soggy.

Insects are another threat to indoor gardens because there is no cold weather to inhibit the hatching of insect eggs.

Soil from outdoors may be more susceptible to insects that are already living in the dirt. Instead of soil from outside, use packaged soil or a non-soil alternative that will hold moisture without the added risk of bugs. If small insects appear, use a mist of soapy water to kill the bugs without harming the plants or making the herbs unfit for eating.

Group herbs together according to their watering needs to make maintenance that much easier. New sprouts generally need more water than established plants.

Prune the herbs as needed for recipes.

If the herbs experience a growth spurt, trim some of the plants and freeze the herbs for later use.

Many indoor herb gardeners begin by growing parsley, chives, oregano, and basil, but you can experiment with just about any herb.

Home & Garden / Real Estate

Buy a house or a condo, which is right for you?

John Occhi & Mike Mason Special to the Valley News

homeowners who do not want to take care of the exterior maintenance of the structure or a landscaped yard.

It is important to investigate and find out exactly what maintenance the condo association provides for the monthly HOA dues you’ll be paying every month. Typically, the HOA will pay to have the complex grounds professionally maintained and you take care of the interior of your unit. Collectively, every condo owner shares in the cost for this service as part of the monthly HOA dues.

Privacy: A single-family home is generally much more private than a condo. As a single-family home, it is self-contained on its own land with at least some space and a fence or wall between houses. On the other hand, condo’s typically share at least one wall.

Privacy is perhaps the biggest differentiation point between owning a single-family home and a condo and a personal decision that you must make on your own. If distance between you and your neighbors is a high priority, then you’ll likely opt for the privacy that a single-family home offers.

On the other hand owning a condo typically offers some unique advantages that could be cost prohibitive if purchased individually and added to a single-family home.

Most condo’s offer a variety of amenities that may include (not all offer all) a swimming pool, a jetted hot tub, sauna, fitness center, and a children’s playground. Many people like the closeness of the condo community as it is typically much easier to meet your neighbors and find new friends.

Financial Health: While some single-family homes are in a community that has a Home Owner Association (HOA) nearly every condo has an association that is responsible for managing the financial affairs of the neighborhood. Typically each owner is assessed a monthly or quarterly fee (dues) that cover the common use expenses such as the insurance, maintaining the landscape, trash service, general maintenance of the building exteriors, pool maintenance and taking care

When you decide to enter the housing market, there are many decisions to be made. One of the first is always deciding on what type of residential real estate you want to call home. There are two basic choices – a house or a condo. There are benefits and downsides to each and the ultimate experience of living in either can vary greatly.

While the appeal of a single-family home for most families is rather obvious it is important to understand the basic difference between a single-family home and a condo before the decision is made and one or the other is ruled out completely.

You just may find that depending on your situation that a condo or a home is the only real reasonable option for you.

Follow along as we examine the pros and cons of owning and living in a condo and a single-family home.

Condo vs. Home: The Pros and Cons Size: In most cases a singlefamily home will have more square footage than a condo. This is not always the case as there are some small two bedroom houses and some very large three and four bedroom condos out there. Typically though, you can expect to find smaller spaces in a condo. Depending on your particular needs you may find a smaller living space to be more ideal. You’ll have less to decorate (less clutter), clean and heat/air condition.

With a house, you’ll typically have the option of adding additional space and repurposing space while in a condo it will be impossible to add on to your home.

Maintenance: Many who choose the Condo lifestyle do it because of the lack of required maintenance.

This is especially true with older

of other amenities and equipment owned by the association for use by association members.

If you own a free-standing single family home, without an HOA, typically you won’t be concerned if your neighbors fall behind on their HOA dues or other obligations.

Purchase Financing: The process of obtaining financing for a condominium can be very different for financing a single-family home.

With the purchase of a single-family home you can use any home loan that you qualify for – whether it be a Conventional, FHA or VA loan.

With a condominium, it’s important to verify that the specific condo will qualify for a specific loan – this can be tricky at best.

There are many Condo Developments that are not FHA approved.

One reason might be that the Condo Association does not want to spend the money to be approved by the FHA. While it is not terribly expensive, there are some associations that are penny wise and pound (dollar) foolish; locking out the large pool of First Time FHA buyers and thus reducing the salability of individual units, which in turn holds property values down. Another common reason that a Condominium complex does not qualify for an FHA Loan, is that the ratio of owner occupied and rental units.

The advantage of FHA financing, particularly with first time buyers is that the buyer only needs a 3.5 percent down payment. When you decide to pursue the purchase for a Condo, have your real estate agent identify those Condo Complex’s that are FHA Approved.

HOA vs. CONTROL: When buying a single-family home outside of an HOA, you are buying a home that you can pretty much do what you want with – inside and out. On the other hand, when you buy a home – either single family or condominium – with an HOA you are subjecting yourself to the rules and regulations of the HOA. For anyone who wants total control over their home and property, then an HOA is probably not going to work. With control of your property you do not have the safety-net that an HOA provides by maintaining the property and that all owners/ occupants have to comply with the rules that have been agreed upon.

Of course, because it’s yours, you can do anything you want that the city/county will allow you to do. This could include painting your home purple, building a new structure, parking cars anywhere you want on your property or filling your yard with plastic pink flamingos.

In an HOA home, you will not be able to indulge in any of the above; rather you’ll be limited in what you can do. Like all of your neighbors, you’ll have to observe the rules of the HOA. There will be restrictions as to what you can do with your homes exterior and even where you can park your car. These types of restrictions are intended to maintain the integrity and value of your neighborhood.

Purchase Price: Typically, a single-family home will be more expensive than a condo, for a number of different reasons that we’ve already discussed above. While a single-family home may be more desirable on many different levels, purchasing a condominium may make financial sense for the first time home buyer with a more limited budget and less cash available for a down payment. Condo’s also make perfect sense for empty nesters or anyone on a fixed income budget and wanting to make the dollar stretch further.

What is right for you? There is no right answer for everyone – you must decide for yourself if buying a condo or a single-family home makes sense for you. Let’s take a look at the Pro’s and Con’s of buying a house vs a condo.

Single-Family Home – Pros and Cons Private yard Maintenance and landscape is always the homeowners expense No restrictions (typically – unless imposed by the city or county) on what color you paint your home or what style mailbox you install or anything else you want to do to the property – inside or out.

All costs – Insurance, Trash, Maintenance are the homeowners to pay (and select) No Condo Fees Control of the property is the homeowners Condominium – Pros and Cons Restrictions such as age, pet and ratability may be in place. Depending on the buyer, this can either be a good thing or a bad one.

If you want to change anything on the exterior of your unit like landscaping, raising a flag or changing any aspect of the unit, you must ask permission from the HOA Condo’s may offer amenities that otherwise could not be afforded – pool, gym, craft room, clubhouse or other frills.

Maintenance expenses cannot be paid on you schedule but are subject to the HOA The advantages and disadvantages of single-family homes and condominiums are numerous. While we can’t cover every aspect of the decision making process, hopefully it will allow you to grasp some of the differences and allow you to explore the options that fit your personality, your lifestyle and your budget further. From both a financial and an emotional standpoint, give yourself ample time to decide which is right for you and your own unique situation.

Professional Certification

TEMECULA – Lucy Zion, a real estate agent with Rancon Real Estate has earned the nationally recognized Military Relocation Professional Certification. The National Association of REALTORS® confers the MRP certification to agents who want to help military personnel and veterans find housing solutions that best meet their needs and allow them to take full advantage of their military benefits.

When military staff and their families relocate, the services of a real estate professional who

understands their needs and timetables can make the transfer easier, faster and less stressful. Real estate agents who earn this certification know to work with active duty military buyers and sellers, as well as veterans.

“Homeownership is an important part of the fabric of America, and having a stable home environment is vital when men and women of the military are called away to serve their country. Working with a REALTOR® who understands specific needs and timetables related to military service will help

make their transfers easier, faster and less stressful,” said NAR President Gary Thomas, broker-owner of Evergreen Realty, in Villa Park, Calif. “The Military Relocation Professional certification will help REALTORS® hone their knowledge and skills for working with veterans and active duty military buyers and sellers to ensure that homeownership remains affordable and accessible to them.”

Zion can be contacted at (951) 348-8878 or www.ZionRealtors. com.

Trick-or-treat safely TEMECULA – As thousands of children prepare to embark on their trick-or-treating jaunts in neighborhoods near and far, it is best to once again revisit safety tips that can help ensure this Halloween is enjoyable and injury-free.

Visibility is key when donning a Halloween costume. Children should be dressed in highly visible costumes so drivers can easily see them. Parents and chaperones also should be dressed in bright colors.

Reflective tape and flashlights also make pedestrians more visible to oncoming cars.

Children and adults should plan their trick-or-treating routes ahead of time. This way they kids can be found quickly if they are sepa-

rated from their groups, and parents can choose safe neighborhoods.

Choose neighborhoods and paths that have the least amount of automobile traffic.

Walk, don’t run. Trick-or-treaters should stick to sidewalks and only cross the street at intersection crosswalks. Make sure kids know to avoid darting out between cars or cutting across lawns and driveways. When darkness sets in, fast-moving children can be difficult to see.

Visit only lit houses. Residents who don’t want to answer the door will typically leave their homes’ exterior lights off. Only visit homes that are decorated, bright and welcoming to trick-or-treaters.

Go in groups. Children should go out in groups and always be accompanied by an adult chaperone.

Everyone should wear well-fitted costumes that do not drag on the floor or impede mobility. Choose face paint over masks so that vision is not obscured.

Beware of fire hazards. Keep clear of jack-o-lanterns that are lit by real flames. Homeowners can opt for LED lights or other, safer methods of illumination rather than candles and open flames.

Halloween is an exciting day for youngsters, and following a few safety can make the day both fun and safe.

Middle school students have a doggone good time following fundraiser

David Brown Middle School students raised $900 dollars for the organization Pennies 4 Paws. $600 dollars went to Crissie, a blue nose pitbull who suffered from a neglected chemical burn and $300 went to FTA Spay in Wildomar, a low cost spay and neuter facility for dogs and cats.

Tina Raborn of Doggy Smiles Rescue introduces David Brown Middle School students to Runner. The rescue facility is caring for Runner who was abandoned and not in good health when he was found.

LEUSD honors October Students of the Month LAKE ELSINORE – Seven high school seniors from the Lake Elsinore Unified School District were recently honored by the Student of the Month program under the auspices of the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce and BMW Management, which owns and manages Sizzler restaurants. Students are individually nominated by teachers and selected for their character, love of learning, leadership, community service, and perseverance.

October ‘Student of the Month’ Honorees were:

David Brown Middle School students get a close look at Taco, a Chihuahua who suffered a chemical burn on his back. Students at the school raised money by having the option to donate $1 to not run during a PE class and donate $5 if the students want to not wear their PE clothes or run during PE class.

Elsinore High School Chase DeLong has set a goal of attending Johns Hopkins University to pursue studies in biomedical engineering. Campus life includes volunteer tutoring, and participation on the rigorous EHS Academic Decathlon team (one of Riverside County’s top three teams). A severe gymnastics injury taught him to persevere, and today he is recognized as a top student and a valued student leader.

Jasmine Le has selected UC Davis in her pursuit of a degree in computer engineering. She aspires to work for Google, a giant in innovation. Campus life includes NHS, Model United Nations, and academics. Growing up with five competitive siblings, a life lesson is not to measure personal success against others, by learning to fearlessly be her own person.

BYU—Provo after graduation. Her passion is servant leadership, as demonstrated by a desire to make school—and the world—a better place. Campus life includes varsity tennis captain, varsity basketball, and ASB vice president. One life lesson is not being afraid to stand up for one’s beliefs, a perspective honed after volunteering hundreds of hours after school, and as a student leader in her church.

Lakeside High School Triston Bowe plans to attend UC San Diego to study engineering. He is captain of LHS’s undefeated water polo team. Campus life includes the mad science club, varsity water polo, and academics. His family nearly lost him to a car accident when he was 12; as a result, he is self-aware and seeks to bring people and ideas together in inspiring ways. Triston is a natural leader, with big dreams and goals.

Rebekah Kaiser plans to attend

Keith McCarthy Academy Collin Chostner clearly feels a calling to study neurobiology, and a career in the medical field. The onset of a medical condition early in his high school career might have discouraged Collin from reaching his goals, yet today he is set to graduate early. Collin has a talent for math tutoring, which is valued by fellow students. While polite and soft-spoken, his teachers remind us that Collin is highly driven to succeed, as exhibited by his ability

to adapt, to persevere, and mentor others.

Temescal Canyon High School Luis Hurtado is on a path of lifelong learning that includes attending Cornell, and the London Business School. He is a serious IB scholar, member of Rotary Interact Club, and a three-season athlete (soccer, track and football). A life lesson put into practice every day is to live with no regrets. Luis embraces challenges, curiosity, opportunities, and reflection as a way of heightening life experiences.

Jenna Hoskinson is an IB scholar who has set a goal of attending USC, majoring in environmental studies and international relations. She plans to become an environmental attorney. Campus life includes ASB, CSF, Rotary Interact, and Peer Buddies. She is among the top of her class, yet makes time for community service through the Interact Club and ASB leadership opportunities.

appreciate employees who, rather than complaining, understand that bosses face pressures, too. They’re also usually more open to hearing from such employees about their own scheduling problems and work demands.

You want to keep communication open and a two-way street, rather than appearing closed off and unapproachable. Good ideas seldom follow a schedule, and emergencies never do. Make it easy for your supervisor to talk to you. And, sometimes, take the initiative. Do a quick check-in with your boss on how things are going, or to discuss an idea or concern of yours.

Make it your job to create a positive relationship with your supervisor. Each of you should feel that you understand the other and can openly talk to each other. With such a relationship, it usually means a more positive, enjoyable work environment where sharing ideas and positive accomplishments can flourish.

And why does that matter to you?

Because studies have shown that one of the most important things affecting someone’s job performance, stress levels, and overall job satisfaction and happiness is the relationship they have with the person above them.

So what can you do? The only way to improve such situations is for you to take a proactive role in creating a more positive relationship with that person above you.

Start by learning what’s important to him or her as a person.

Make an effort to find out if there are pet peeves, or things about your department or company that matter greatly to him or her. Does your boss have a difficult boss?

Try to understand what your supervisor expects from you. It isn’t always obvious. Ask questions and seek clarification. Is it timely reports, meeting deadlines, and showing initiative? A certain dress code? Or seemingly trivial things that he or she finds important?

Understanding what matters to your boss makes it easier to meet such goals, or to discuss alternatives that will still keep him or her happy.

It also helps to be flexible and understanding. While it’s frustrating to have meetings rescheduled or interrupted by phone calls, there’s often a reason for a supervisor to make such changes. Supervisors

The benefits of summertime pregnancies TEMECULA – Researchers at Cambridge University have concluded that the best time to have a baby is summer time, the Association of Mature American Citizens reported this week. The researchers’ massive study of some half a million English men and women shows that they grow up healthier, are heavier at birth and

taller as adults.

The investigators believe that it has something to do with the greater amounts of vitamin D the embryos have access to in June, July and August as a result of increased amounts of sunshine. Kids born in December, January and February are at a disadvantage in that regard.

Health New American Spine clinics practice regenerative medicine for spine care and pain management

Courtesy photo

LAKE ELSINORE – American Spine Group recently opened two new locations. Patients can now see the team of spine and pain specialists at the Lake Elsinore and Temecula clinics conveniently located at 31569 Canyon Estates Dr. Ste. 135, Lake Elsinore and

31565 Rancho Pueblo Rd. Ste. 102, Temecula.

Both clinics use regenerative medicine, an innovative pain management technique that uses the patient’s own body to heal itself. This form of healing has been proven to promote cell reproduction – an es-

sential aspect of healing tissues and bones. “Regenerative medicine” is actually an umbrella term that covers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and stem cell therapy.

PRP injection treatment is used to treat muscle and ligament conditions, particularly degenerative conditions and sports-related injuries. PRP injections started to gain popularity after sports professionals like Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods used them to bounce back from their injuries quickly.

When patients have a PRP injection, a small sample of blood is taken and put into a centrifuge that separates the platelets from the blood. The platelets are then mixed with dextrose and citrate to make the platelets pure and ready to be injected at the site of pain.

The doctors know that blood is integral to the healing process, so why does American Spine Group want the platelet-rich plasma inside the blood specifically? It’s because

platelets have qualities that allow them to improve cell production, as well as soft tissue and bone regeneration.

Stem cell therapy is used to regenerate healthy cells and replace aging cells. This outpatient procedure uses cells collected from bone marrow and other tissues to help treat a number of painful conditions. The cells are injected directly into the site of injury or

I live my life in 90 minute chunks For people who suffer from Overactive Bladder (OAB), the symptoms can be distressing.

However, no one medication works the same for everyone and every age group. It is a goal of clinical research to find out who can receive the most relief from a medication and why.

Veterans Day fundraising fitness event being held in Temecula TEMECULA – This Veteran’s Day, IgniteRx Medical Fitness, fueled By 79 South CrossFit, will be hosting the Three Wise Men Veteran’s Day Tribute; a national fundraising event to benefit those who have survived their military service, but are still struggling, financially or emotionally, after returning home.

The Three Wise Men Foundation was created in honor of Jeremy, Ben and Beau Wise; three brothers who all chose to serve their country in the armed forces. Tragically, both Jeremy and Ben were killed while serving in Afghanistan. Beau still remains on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps.

With the suicide rate of returning veterans skyrocketing in recent years, the Three Wise Men Foundation, founded by the Wise’s cousin, Nathan Fletcher, was created to raise awareness and funds for re-

turning servicemen and their families to help with living expenses and emotional support.

In order to help raise money for the cause, on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 5 a.m., 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., IgniteRx Medical Fitness is hosting a fundraiser in the form of a CrossFit-style work out named for the three brothers. The community is invited to join IgniteRx for this special tribute work out, which is being held on Veteran’s Day at CrossFit gyms all over the country.

You do not have to be a member to participate and, although the CrossFit brand may sound daunting to someone who has never tried this type of fitness before, the Three Wise Men Tribute work outs will be scaled to the individual needs of each participant, so no prior CrossFit experience is necessary. It is a great way for the entire Inland Empire community to be able to

degeneration, making this therapy especially useful to patients with degenerative conditions like arthritis or degenerative disc disease.

American Spine Group’s physicians are expertly trained to use the patient’s own resources to heal their body. If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding regenerative medicine, they can call (951) 7347246 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

contribute to this worthwhile cause while also burning a few calories!

To participate in this fun and interactive fundraising opportunity, a $25 donation needs to be made in advance, or on the day of the event.

There is also an opportunity on the website to donate funds, even if you can’t make it to the event.

Are your gums receding?

An Easy Fix...

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

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

– Mark S.

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

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

–Milan M. Irvin

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

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

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

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

(Excluding working out and strenuous activities)

“Dr. Brown is very knowledgeable and professional. He has always treated me with care and fixed any problems. He and his staff, especially Wendy and Brandi, are always professional and take care of their patients with experience. TLC and a smile.” – Patricia R.

HS Girls Volleyball: Season update Dean Fioresi & JP Raineri Sportswriters With just a little over two weeks left to play in the volleyball season, conference play is in full swing and the road to playoffs has a lot of traffic on it. Here is how things are winding down for the teams inside our coverage area.

Kali Greathead (11) of Temecula Valley, who leads the Southwestern League in digs (235), goes up for a kill against Chaparral on Thursday Oct. 22.

Annette Saenz photo

Southwestern League Great Oak (17-1), ranked #1 in Division 1AA again this week, is the No. 3 team in California, and increased their hold on the Southwestern League lead after another undefeated week of play, where they handled both Murrieta Valley and Vista Murrieta, 3-0.

Despite a loss to Great Oak, Murrieta Valley (16-9) finished the week strong, beating Murrieta Mesa in three straight sets, 3-0. They will take on Vista Murrieta and Chaparral before heading into the final week of play.

Chaparral (11-10) went 2-0 in league play last week, handing both Murrieta Mesa and Temecula Valley losses. They will face Great Oak and Murrieta Valley this week in their attempt to move up the Southwestern League rankings.

Temecula Valley (22-6) has continued to struggle in league play after a dominant preseason. They

sit at just 3-3 in the Southwestern League in a tie with Chaparral. After a close win over Vista Murrieta, 3-2, they fell to Chaparral in the final set. They will face Murrieta Mesa and Great Oak this week.

Vista Murrieta (13-11) lost their third straight match in SWL play, two of which came last week against Great Oak and Temecula Valley.

Last place Murrieta Mesa (1213) won’t see themselves in the playoffs this season after losing their sixth straight league match.

With four games left in the season, they have yet to win a set against a league opponent.

“We are still a young team, and we are doing some rebuilding, but the girls are competing this season, putting enough points on the board to keep us close in the matches, which is huge,” says Murrieta Mesa head coach, Bonnee BurdineArscott.

Southwestern League play concludes on Nov. 4.

Sunbelt League Elsinore (27-8), ranked #1 in Division 3AA, and who has yet to lose a set in league play, dominated both Heritage and Paloma Valley last week continuing their undefeated streak.

Heritage (15-5-1) couldn’t muster up enough to defeat first place Elsinore, but they cruised past Perris 3-0 to finish of their week.

They will face Temescal Canyon

Last week was the week that could either make or break playoff hopes for teams still looking to get over the hurdle of some not so successful games this far into the season.

The Southwestern League saw both city champions crowned on Friday, Oct. 23, as the Great Oak Wolfpack took out Temecula Valley to take the title for Temecula schools and Vista Murrieta put a pounding on Murrieta Mesa to claim their 33rd straight SWL win and were named the Murrieta City Champions, once again.

The Sunbelt League pitted two of the top three undefeated teams against each other as Temescal Canyon headed to Heritage for a battle, but Heritage jumped out early and never looked back, defeating the Titans, 35-0. Paloma Valley, the only other undefeated team in the Sunbelt, will take on the Patriots in the Menifee Bowl, which will be the game of the week.

Linfield of the Ambassador League went up against Notre Dame on Saturday, Oct. 24, both teams were 7-0, but only one walked away unscathed as the Lions fell 16-9 in a thriller at Riverside Community College.

Calvary Murrieta of the South Valley League kept their perfect season going with a commanding

51-8 win against Nuview Bridge and in 8-Man football, the Cal Lutheran C-Hawks tried to take over first place with a win over Hesperia Christian, but fell late in the game, 44-38.

Will there be tricks or treats on the eve of All Hallows Eve? Things could get spooky this week with many teams fighting for their post season lives, which is sure to be exciting for boys and ghouls all over the valley.

The Wolfpack struck early and often, jumping to a 28-0 lead after the first three quarters of play, but TV would make a late push, adding two fourth quarter touchdowns in quick succession, before Great Oak sealed the deal with their fifth score of the contest.

Business

End of the line for Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Markets Kim Harris Managing Editor Readymade meals, organic produce and healthy foods purchased at neighborhood stores will soon become a thing of the past for shoppers of the UK based Tesco chain, Fresh & Easy neighborhood Market. The chain, which filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013, has struggled to make ends meet since opening in 2007.

According to an email sent to members of the store’s Friends Points program, the chain has spent the last two years attempting to “build a new Fresh & Easy,” a plan that failed as the company no longer has the necessary cash to continue operation the stores that offers groceries with an emphasis

on fresh products, including readyto-eat meals.

The company has 97 stores in California, Nevada and Arizona, including one in Temecula, and another in Murrieta. Other nearby locations include Fallbrook, San Jacinto, Vista and Oceanside. A distribution center located in Moreno Valley will also be affected by the decision. All stores have begun the liquidation process and are offering up to a 30 percent discount on items within the store.

Layoffs have begun in the corporate offices and state mandated WARN Act notices have gone out to about 3,000 employees though it remains unclear how many employees in the local area will be affected by the store closings.

An article published in the Los

Angeles Times on Oct. 21 cited the stores failure as being due to the chain’s failure to personalize merchandise selection by neighborhood, lack of inventory for its most popular items, and inflated charges for the chain’s private label products.

According to an article by Business Times the chain expected the general public to change the way it shopped, something that didn’t sit well with its customers.

“Vegetables tended to be wrapped in cellophane bundles, to address food safety issues that parent company Tesco though were a big concern among shoppers,” the article authored by Brad Tuttle claimed.

That particular way of selling prevented customers from inspecting produce for things such as

bruises or to buy a single item, something that apparently didn’t sit well with customers.

Increases in food offerings by big box retailers such as Walmart and Target and an increase of 13.5 percent in eCommerce were also blamed in for the company’s downfall, according to a market analysis entitled “The Future of Food and Retailing” by independent consulting firm Willard Bishop.

Other complaints on things the chain relied upon such as the self-checkouts and the store size of 10,000 square feet resulting in a limited selection prevented the chain from offering one-stop shopping that so many consumers love to take advantage of.

In 2014 the fresh format grocery stores, which Fresh & Easy falls

under, only had a 1.3 percent share of the dollar compared to 39.2 percent for traditional supermarkets and 17.6 percent for the big box retailers.

While fresh format grocery store chains are expected to continue a strong growth over the next five years, it’s too little too late for Fresh & Easy which has placed all its locations up for sale.

In the email that was sent out on Saturday, Oct. 24, Fresh & Easy encouraged shoppers to come out and get some of their “Fresh & Easy favorites for the last time.”

“We thank you for shopping with us and bringing our products into your home.”

Temecula approves Audi dealership Tim O’Leary Staff Writer Temecula strengthened its regional sales tax dominance last week by voting to add another car dealer to its fleet.

The approval of an Audi dealership by city planning commissioners further cements Temecula’s position as Southwest Riverside County’s leading vendor of motor vehicles. It also burnishes the city’s position as the region’s top sales tax generator.

“We’re excited about this,” Lanae Turley-Trejo, the commission’s chairwoman, said after the panel’s approval. “Welcome.”

Her enthusiasm was echoed by John Telesio, a longtime planning commissioner.

“Thank you so much for coming to our city,” Telesio said to the eight Audi representatives and consultants who attended the Oct. 21 public hearing. “I expect this is going to be the high end of Temecula’s auto mall. We’ll get a (traffic) light and more sales tax.”

No audience members spoke against the 4.5-acre project during the hearing, which lasted less than 30 minutes. The hearing followed a pair of community meetings, held in March and August, in which the project was detailed to area residents.

Most of the residents’ focus centered on their desire for a traffic light at the nearby intersection at Ynez Road and Temecula Center Drive.

City officials have responded that the intersection won’t meet the

traffic threshold needed to warrant a signal even after Audi of Temecula opens. But city staff vowed to move quickly when other development occurs in the area and a traffic light can be justified.

The commission’s approval will stand unless the decision is appealed to the City Council. The absence of resident concerns or controversy makes it unlikely that an appeal will be filed within the requisite 15 calendar days.

After the hearing, Audi representatives said they have already hired a contractor and they plan to start work as soon as they obtain the necessary grading and building permits. They hope to open the 37,500-square foot complex, which will be 32-feet tall at its highest point, in September 2016.

Audi would operate directly south of a Mercedes Benz dealership that opened nearly two years ago along Interstate 15 near the city’s boundary with Murrieta. The Audi dealership would play off its prominent neighbor by constructing a “jewel box” vehicle display area that faces the freeway.

The importance of Temecula’s car dealers to its workforce and sales tax base is frequently underscored by city officials.

The success of the fledgling Mercedes Benz dealership was spotlighted by Mayor Jeff Comerchero in May at his State of the City talk. The breakfast event that is held annually by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce attracted about 600 business and community leaders to the Pechanga Resort and Casino.

Comerchero reported that the Mercedes Benz dealership had sold more than 1,500 cars – sales revenue that exceeded $92 million – in its first year of operation. He also noted that plans for the Audi dealership were in the development pipeline.

“We are grateful to all of our fine auto dealers who have produced the strong component of Temecula’s economy with hundreds of millions of dollars of sales annually and hundreds of local jobs,” Comerchero said in his remarks. “We thank them all for their ongoing investments in Temecula.”

Because of its setting and other factors, Temecula emerged as a retailing hub before waves of rapid growth began sweeping over the region. Numerous car dealers were thriving in the community when Temecula became a city in December 1989 with about 27,000 residents.

The fledgling city maintained its regional dominance as it attracted more car dealers, new shopping centers and a regional mall.

Temecula currently has 16 dealers that sell new motor vehicles and 29 that sell used vehicles, according to city officials. That’s more than the combined number of dealerships in Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Wildomar.

Those dealerships helped fuel a broadening stream of sales tax revenues that aided in the construction of road and freeway improvements, parks, community centers, museums and a string of other amenities. The city’s population is currently approaching 110,000,

and it is expected to someday total about 150,000 residents.

Sales and use taxes are expected to exceed $31 million during the current fiscal year, which makes the revenue category the largest funding source for Temecula. Those taxes will total about 29 percent of the city’s $65.8 million operations budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

That revenue dwarfs the city’s second largest funding source – property taxes – which pay for about 11 percent of its operating costs.

Sales and use tax receipts have grown along with the city. It totaled $29.1 million in the 2013-14 fiscal year. Temecula exceeds its surrounding area as well as the county and state in per capita sales tax revenue, according to city materials.

California has a 7.5 percent sales tax, and voters have approved a ½ cent tax to fund county road improvements. Temecula receives 1 percent of the total collected.

California native Chad Boespflug returns for Oval Nationals

Chad Boespflug on his way to winning the $1,000 “Tony Jones Award” at last year’s Budweiser Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction.

Doug Allen photo

PERRIS – When Chad Boespflug graduated from Hanford High School in 2006 he had a plan in mind to head to Indiana. No, he was not headed back there to play football for Notre Dame or basketball for the Indiana Hoosiers, he was headed back to do what he did best, race sprint cars. Now the 27-year-old, heads back home to contest the most prestigious traditional sprint car race in the world, the 20th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals Presented by All Coast Construction at Perris Auto Speedway on November 12 – 14.

Coming back to the Oval Nationals is a big deal for Boespflug, who when not racing is a project manager for a mechanical piping company and a structural steel company. Last year at the Oval Nationals he won the “Tony Jones Hard Charger Award” and the $1,000 from All-Coast Construc-

tion that goes with it. He created such a good impression with AllCoast’s Mike Grosswendt that Grosswendt is sponsoring him at this year’s Oval Nationals.

“It was a cool deal that he put up the extra money for the ‘Hard Charger’ as we do not get that very often,” the driver said over the phone last week. “So, when we do get it, it definitely makes it worth our effort to race hard. I had heard so much about him (Mike Grosswendt) and the things he does, but I never met him before last year. He is doing so much for the Oval Nationals this year. It is actually crazy to think of what he is putting in and we (drivers and car owners) are all thankful for what he does. He is a big reason that I am able to make the trip out there this year.”

When Boespflug first arrived in the Hoosier state, he was racing in equipment owned by his grandfa-

ther. After his grandfather decided to sell the equipment, Boespflug ended up with the hard task of being an owner driver. He did that for six seasons, but two years ago, he ended up being a hired gun and has remained so in several top rides ever since.

“I had been racing 360’s around California and actually raced (410’s) at Perris in my senior year in high school,” he said. “About two months after graduating I made the big jump to move to Indiana to race there. It was fun, exciting and it was tough. Coming back here from California everybody thinks you are some rich kid with parents who are paying the way. That was definitely not the case.”

It was a tough learning curve competing in a race crazy state against a new group of drivers and on new tracks and, it took a bit of time for Boespflug to catch on.

“It was tough when I first got back here driving my grandfather’s car,” Boespflug said. “We struggled the first couple years, but then I finally got some wins and things started going well. Grandpa decided to get out so it was time to do my own thing. I actually ended up funding my own car for years.”

Driving for Grandpa and fielding his own stuff, Boespflug had become a regular on the local Indiana circuit. He became known as a very competent racer among the other drivers. At the same time, the local car owners noticed his talent including one, who had been around for longer than most of them combined.

“After running my own car for six years, I became fortunate to get hooked up with car owner Paul Hazen,” Boespflug said. “It was

funny at the time because there was a bunch of stuff on the Internet forums about how Paul’s stuff was outdated and was not capable of winning anymore. I got in it and things were not going great early on, but we pressed on. Next thing you know, we were winning races left and right. I won my first USAC National race and it was his 10th USAC National win at Putnamville on the Fourth of July. That kind of put me back on the map.

We clicked off six wins that year and seven the next year.”

The prowess that started in the Hazen machine drew attention from even more car owners and subsequent rides Boespflug has occupied. He describes 2015 as a season that has been up and down.

“I was in the #5 (Baldwin) car this year and I quit that,” he lamented. “Things were not working out and were not what I thought they were going to be and (it) was not putting me in a position I wanted to be in. I was searching for a ride and the Amati Racing Team came about. I won two races with Kenny (Baldwin) before I quit and won two races with the #66 (Amati) before I got fired out of that.”

With the exception of quitting one ride and getting fired out of another, things were going okay in 2015. After all he had four wins and was competitive every single night. Then a bit of a disaster that hit near the banks of Lake Superior in Wisconsin slowed down his program.

“I was taking over the lead at Amsoil Speedway and took a pretty good digger (flip) down the back stretch,” Boespflug chuckled. “I did not really have a concussion, but I hurt both of my feet. Severely

sprained both ankles and it kept me out for a bit. I bounced back and things have been good since, but this year has been up and down, a real whirlwind of emotions.”

Even though he has been living in the “mecca” for non-wing sprint car racing for nearly a decade, Boespflug always enjoys coming back to race at the Oval Nationals in front of the home folk.

“It is a blast for me and it is huge for me,” he said. “I have lots of laps at Perris with USAC/CRA. It is a lot of fun to get to see everyone I do not normally get to see. A lot of family and friends come down to watch as they do not get to come back here (to Indiana) and watch. The racing at the Oval Nationals is great as you get the best of the west coast guys and the best of the Midwest guys.”

First place will pay $25,000 at the Saturday finale of the Oval Nationals and $1,000 to start. The two preliminary nights, Thursday and Friday, will each pay $5,000 to win and $500 to start. All three nights of intense racing action will be fullpoints paying races for the USAC National and USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series.’

Valley News Night at Perris Auto Speedway honors contest winners Tony Ault Writer Valley News Facebook contest winners, advertisers and guests were treated to a dinner buffet Oct. 24 at Perris Auto Speedway’s Club Mud and enjoyed the thrill of watching up close auto racing.

The festivities occurred at Club Mud, well named as it is in an exclusive patio area above turn four of the oval dirt track, where guests sometimes get sprayed with flying mud created as the high powered stock cars go airborne on the tight turn. The patio gives the best view of the auto racing competition.

PAS treated the staff and special Valley News guests with a delicious Tri-Tip buffet.

Valley News Publisher Julie Reeder awarded the Facebook winners at the track. The winners are the Shane and Amy Murlin family. The family won a 4-pack of tickets to the Speedway. Their sons Alexander and Levi joined them at the award presentation.

Levi just turned three.

ily 4-pack of tickets because they didn’t know what they were going to do for Levi’s third birthday,” said Shane and Amy. The two boys thrilled at the races waving their small checkered

were among the honored guests at the special event.

Allyn Jones a friend of the Akanwos, said he “loves racing and has lived close to Irwindale Speedway (near L.A.) and in Virginia, close to the historic NASCAR track, Martinsville Speedway.”

Mike Mason learned how to calculate average speeds by tracking lap times on his stopwatch app. He said he was surprised that many of the divisions were running over 85 mph average on the half mile dirt oval.

Kim Palmer learned to watch the scoreboard in order to see what lap the race was on and read the leaderboard to see positions 1 to 5, as the car numbers are posted and change when passing occurs. This is done through a computer in the scoring tower that feeds information from in-car transponders that

flags as the winners of each race drove by.

Vanguard Futbol Club brings faith, fun and affordability back to club soccer for area youth

Vanguard Futbol Club players enjoy a free play time between practices in the facility’s arena.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer When Billy Furlong looked at soccer clubs in the Temecula and Murrieta Valleys, he saw a need both on and off of the field. Building a competitive soccer club from the ground up has come with growing pains. With a private field, space to play isn’t an issue. Bringing more players out and spreading the word is where he spends most of his focus.

“We have a 50-foot wide by 90-foot long arena, with artificial turf and lights,” Furlong said. “We also have a grass field 55-yards by 55-yards, and are working on lights for that now.”

Vanguard Futbol Club is looking to have a business adopt the field, and have it bear their name – think Qualcomm Stadium. There is room for 50 cars in the parking lot, and one tournament can accommodate six teams in round robin format, playing six on six.

The Vanguard FC is listed in the Presidio League. As a new club, present teams are doing well and hanging with other teams, according to Furlong.

“We see a lot of growth in our players each week, and we are proud of them and their parents,” he said. “It’s a difficult decision to join a new team, a new club, and help establish it. We know—as a Sports Ministry—that Vanguard FC is something that God is part of.”

Vanguard Football Club’s mission is to develop champions both on and off of the field, according to Furlong. This new group of U-11 girls, U-13 boys has already held their first tournament and looks to growth in the future.

“The goal is to have three girl teams in 2016, and three boy teams,” Furlong said, with the ultimate goal of running six teams of each. But Vanguard is moving slowly, and educating families about the core of the program, to build each player from the inside, out.

“We truly want our players to have that champion mentality both on and off of the field,” he said.

“At Vanguard FC, we teach life skills along with soccer skills. We encourage our players to represent something bigger than themselves.”

Furlong has been both a player and coach around Temecula and Murrieta for over ten years, with children who played both recreational and club sports.

“When I started to see the need, I prayed about how I could impact the sport that I love. So, I feel that God told me to start a sports ministry soccer club,” he said. “I wanted first to make it affordable for everyone and accessible to those who cannot afford to play club level soccer, but have the talent to go far.”

According to Furlong, the other side of the void is that most soccer clubs do not have their own practice facility but have to borrow field space to play and practice.

Vanguard FC is proud to own their own facilities, complete with lights for night play.

“It is great to have our own place with our own equipment and lights.

We make our own schedule,” he said. “We have been truly blessed to have what we have.”

Another difference with Vanguard FC is their mission-based soccer mentality. Furlong, who has had the opportunity to play on missionbased soccer teams since 1982, has traveled the world playing soccer and sharing his faith.

“Sports ministry is a great place to be able to share with the world how wonderful a relationship with Jesus can be,” he said. “I tell the

VOLLEYBALL from page D-1 and Paloma Valley on the road this week before the final week of Sunbelt League play.

Paloma Valley (10-10-2) pulled out a close 3-2 victory over Temescal Canyon, before falling to Elsinore 3-0. They will play their final two games of the season this week against Perris and Heritage.

Temescal Canyon (8-9) won both of their league games last week defeated Perris 3-0 and Lakeside 3-1. They have two more games to play this week before finishing their season.

Lakeside (2-14) continues to slide, losing their third straight game, two of which came last week. They fell 3-0 to Paloma Valley and 3-1 against Temescal Canyon. They hope to finish the season strong facing Elsinore and Perris this week.

Perris (3-15-1) has yet to win a league match, after falling to both Temescal Canyon and Heritage 3-0.

Ambassador League Linfield Christian (5-14) continues to struggle, as they lost their tenth straight league match last week. They now sit at just 1-10 in league with three games left in their season. They will face both Western Christian (10/27) and Ontario Christian (10/29) this week.

Majestic League Cornerstone Christian (6-9) has won their last four games, and they currently sit in third place in their league. They will play three more matches before the end of their season.

playoffs.

Hamilton is hanging around the middle of the road in the standings right now at 14-10-1 and will wrap up their schedule this week against La Sierra Academy and Upland Christian.

South Valley League Temecula Prep (16-5), ranked 8th in Division 5AA, continued to play undefeated South Valley League volleyball after beating Calvary Murrieta and Nuview Bridge, winning 3-2 in both cases.

With just three games left an undefeated season and league title could be in their near future.

While Nuview Bridge (14-7) gave Temecula Prep their best shot, they still couldn’t dethrone the first place team. However, they handed Santa Rosa Academy (2-6) a handy 3-0 loss on 10/20. They have two more games to play before their season ends.

Despite their loss against Temecula Prep, Calvary Murrieta (7-10) capped off the week on a high note with a 3-1 victory over rival high school Rancho Christian, 25-21, 25-19, 19-25 and 25-22. Anna Holman had 8 kills and 5 aces while Abby Roth contributed with 18 assists. The Warriors have four games left in the season, finishing with a double header against California Military Institute.

Rancho Christian (13-9) started the week with a 3-0 victory over California Military, before having their winning streak snapped by Calvary Murrieta. They have three games left to play to try and move themselves out of a third place tie.

California Military Institute (0-7) continues to struggle, after losing their seventh straight match. They will face two more South Valley opponents this week before closing out their season.

South Valley League play will conclude on Nov. 3.

players often, the other teams know that you represent a Christian based team, they want to see it in action.”

Actions speak louder than words, according to Furlong.

“You really don’t have to say a word as Christian to let someone know who you are,” he said. “Your actions and life will represent you to others. Our devotion and prayer time prepares the players, spiritually, in the game of life.”

The parents are a large part of laying the foundation of Vanguard FC, according to Furlong.

“They believe in what the team stands for,” he said. Looking to the 2016/17 season, Furlong wants to continue to develop team presence in the community, through Vanguard FC’s website, community service activities, local churches, and community outreach.

“We want to meet and reach young people, and give them

the ability to express themselves through soccer also share the love of Jesus with them,” he said. “We would like to generate more scholarship money through donations and fund raising. This way those who are qualified can participate without the fear of not being able to afford it.”

Looking to 2016, Vanguard FC plans to have four short sided tournaments for boys and girls, as well as day camps and clinics for kids in the area to teach the love of soccer – look to their website for more information in January, 2016.

Sports Lakeside last Friday night, taking out the Lancers 34-12 on their home field. Anthony Reyes led the way for the Tigers scoring 3 rushing TDs, carrying the ball 21 times for 195 yards, while also picking up 14 receiving yards and finding the end zone through the air as well.

Defensively, junior Brandon Payne had 13 tackles on the night along and assisted on a QB sack with Gabe Ramirez.

Heritage and Paloma Valley will go at it this week in the Menifee Bowl. Both teams are undefeated in Sunbelt League action. The Patriots are embarking on their 34th straight league win in what should be an exciting game.

Last week Heritage took out Temescal Canyon 35-0 and Paloma Valley narrowly escaped the Perris Panthers, 49-42, after Perris came back from being down 35 points in the first half. Paloma Valley QB, Chance Nolan, connected on four TD passes, 2 of which went to Dayday Lewis. League leading passer for Perris Carlevon Manuel, who scored once on the ground, added 138 yards to his season passing totals, hitting three targets in the end zone, but also threw two interceptions to Kirkpatrick and Bouman of the Wildcats.

Lakeside will host Perris this week, while Elsinore does the same with Temescal Canyon. Game times are 7 p.m. on Oct. 30.

FOOTBALL from page D-1 yards rushing. Roman Brockback would score the team’s other touchdown, a seven-yard pass from quarterback McGwire Bustamante.

Despite the loss, several Golden Bear players had big games, especially sophomore tight end Travis Plantier, who finished the game with two touchdowns and 123 yards receiving. TV’s quarterback duo of Vincent Bowes and Shayne Oberhuber combined for 179 yards passing and two touchdowns on the night.

After defeating both Chaparral and Temecula Valley, Great Oak has earned themselves the Temecula City Championship crown for the second straight year. However, they still have work to do with two games left in Southwestern League play in order to make it to the post season.

Great Oak’s victory was their second in a row as they head into play against the Murrieta teams.

They will face Murrieta Mesa at home on Oct. 30. Temecula Valley (4-4, 0-3) will face Murrieta Valley at home on Oct. 30 as well.

(Reported by Dean Fioresi, Valley News Sports intern) Over in the neighboring city, Vista Murrieta (7-1, 3-0) cruised to their 33rd consecutive victory in league play, claiming the Murrieta City Championship with their 62-21 win over Murrieta Mesa (4-4, 0-3).

Rams sophomore QB Jeff Miller showed he has some fight in him for next year’s starting spot after Uhl graduates by connecting on two TDs, one to Maxwell Scott and the other to Austen Salcdeo, who had two scores on the night and 111 yards receiving.

The Broncos were led by QB Karson Greely who connected on three TDs during the game and threw for 158 yards, with 105 of those yards going to Khalil Shakir, along with two scores, one of which came on the ground.

This week the Broncos will travel to Chaparral (3-5, 1-2) to take on the Pumas who have lost their last two Southwestern league games to Great Oak and Murrieta Valley.

Mesa will be at Great Oak to face the Wolfpack.

Finally in the SWL, the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks (6-2, 2-1) reminded the Puma’s that they are going to need to work harder to get into playoff’s, ousting Chaparral 49-17.

In a battle of the quarterbacks, Senior Austin Reza went 19-35 with 222 passing yards and 2-TDs, while Nighthawk freshman, Hank Bachmeier finished with 174 yards in the air completing 12 of 21 passes and three touchdowns.

The Nighthawks will face off with Temecula Valley this Friday night and the Pumas will be home to take on Vista Murrieta. Game times are at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30.

South Valley League It was Homecoming week for the Rancho Christian Eagles (5-3, 2-1) and a shutout in the SVL was a great way to celebrate. Rancho Christian overpowered Temecula Prep, 47-0, who is still learning some tough lesson in their first season of 11-man football.

Sophomore QB Carter Treadway carried the Eagles with 215 passing yards, tossing 4 TD passes, two to senior Evan Pruitt and one to JoJo Saatzer and Rueben De La Hoya.

Freshman Meiko Granger led all carriers on the ground with 75 yards and a TD. Sophomore Homecoming Princess Emma Baker was 5 for 7 on PATs, but bad snaps would be the cause of the misses. Rancho Christian will be home to face California Military Institute this week while Temecula Prep (0-6, 0-3) travels to Nuview Bridge to take on a Knights team that was at the mercy of the Calvary Murrieta Warriors last week, losing 51-8.

The Warriors, who should be able to cruise to a 10-0 season, were led by junior QB Adam Schwab and his 152 passing yards and three TDs, as well as two of his own on the ground, contributing 53 rushing yards on the night. League leading rusher Micah Roth carried the ball 16 times for 163 yards.

Chris Ramirez hauled in tow of the Schwab passes for scores and senior Isaiah Romero added one as well on a 9-yard catch.

Then tragedy struck when Linfield fumbled in their own territory where the Titans then capitalized, capped with a 2 point conversion making the score 8-6. The Lions final drive was cut short when quarterback Clay Maranville’s pass was intercepted by outside linebacker Jaden Gardner on the Lions’ 25-yard line to end the game with a Final score of 16-9.

Home Runs for Gage fundraiser sure to be a hit

The family of Gage Seal will be holding an upcoming Home Run Derby fundraiser on Nov. 1 to help raise money for a planned skate park in the Temecula Valley area.

JP Raineri Sports Editor The family of Gage Seal, a Temecula teen that passed away just a few short months ago in a tragic gun accident, continue to work towards remembering him with a skate park in the local community in his honor. The next part of their planning involves a Home Run Derby fundraiser on Nov. 1.

“Gage loved skateboarding and baseball and we want to continue to work towards honoring him by having fundraisers for the Skate Park, by doing things he loved to do,” says Pam Saylors, Gage’s great aunt and family spokesperson.

The Home Run Derby fundraiser will be a Co-Ed softball homerun derby, which will take place at the Patricia Birdsall Sports Park at 2 p.m. on fields 3 and 4. All the proceeds will be donated to support the Seal Family in their quest to finalize the build for the skate park.

A minimum donation of $20 earns a spot in the derby. Guys hit from home plate and girls will hit from second base. Prizes will be raffled all day long and will also be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, which include a Miken Bat, “44” Glove, and a Bat Bag. For more information or to secure a spot, email joshdean@verizon.net.

Sports HS Boys Water Polo: Temescal Canyon cruises past Elsinore Dean Fioresi Sportswriter/Valley News Intern The Temescal Canyon Boys Water Polo team continued to make their push for a league title, following another lopsided victory, 19-5, over Elsinore High School.

A strong game from goalie Gabriel Thorne kept Elsinore out of the goal for the entire first half, allowing his team to score comfortably.

The Titans struck early and often, cruising to 7-0 lead in the first two quarters. They didn’t stop there, scoring 12 more points in the second half to defeat Elsinore 19-5. Two Temescal Canyon players finished with a game leading five goals, Nicholas Jannuzzi and Tyler Strabel.

On top of that, eight other Titans scored on their way to an easy victory.

Temescal also took on the other first place Sunbelt League team on Oct. 22, and defeated Lakeside, 115. Elsinore played their last game of the season on Oct. 23 against Paloma Valley and took down the Wildcats, 19-3.

League carousel begins this week and will wrap up on Thursday, Nov. 5 at Temescal Canyon High School.
