Protesters take on gas tax increase at Temecula Duck Pond Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Temecula Duck Pond became the backdrop for a protest against a 12 cent per gallon increase to a gasoline excise tax, Saturday, Nov. 4.

A handful of protesters showed up waving signs with phrases such as “#GasTaxtrophe” and were met with the occasional honking of a horn from a passing vehicle.

Protester Rick Reiss of Temecula said Saturday’s event was about spreading a message that the tax and similar taxes were unneeded and unwanted.

“The government just keeps taking and taking and taking,” he said. “And there seems to be no accountability, especially from the government we have up in Sacramento. They just seem to be very imperious and arrogant in the way that they tax and spend.”

A full house of attendees flocked to the Lake Elsinore Cultural Arts Center Nov. 2 for a frank discussion on homelessness in the city.

The inaugural Homeless Outreach Community Coalition meeting featured city leaders, county officials, nonprofit groups, church leaders and interested residents, who discussed the ongoing problem in the city and what could be done to alleviate the problem.

The goal of the Lake Elsinore Homeless Outreach Community Coalition is to bring together the community to collaborate on how to best serve those in need by giving those affected a “hand up instead of a hand out.”

Hemet sisters, both in their 90s, are avid dancers at the Temecula Stampede Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Sisters Eveline Baldock and Elsie Shallenberger of Hemet are regulars at the Temecula Stampede in Old Town. They get dressed up and greet all their friends every Friday and Saturday.

Country music rings out through the air as teens and young adults line dance across the Stampede’s hardwood floor, and Baldock, 90, and Shallenberger, 91, are right there with them.

Baldock and Shallenberger are extremely active nonagenarians.

They drive 25 miles from their homes in Hemet to get to the Stampede and will dance for a couple of hours before they’re ready to drive another 25 miles back.

“I’ve been coming here 24 plus years,” Shallenberger said. “I used to come four times a week, but now only on Friday and Saturday.”

Shallenberger said she and her sister like line dancing because they’re big fans of country music and they also like that a partner is not needed.

Everyone in the place seems to know the sisters, from the bouncer at the front door to the other regulars.

Sharon Ralph, 75, of Menifee said she met the sisters about four years ago during an evening out and has since come to call them close friends. She said she admires their energy and enthusiasm.

“I mean, come on, how many women do you know that can do what they can do?” Ralph asked.

“They’re here line dancing every week… They’re just the best.”

Ralph joked that someone needed to keep an eye on the two sisters to make sure they didn’t get into trouble. And while “trouble” might not be the right word, the sisters have had some adventures.

Baldock proudly flipped through a stack of pictures from her time at the Stampede. Several were from her 90th birthday party in September when she hopped on the back of a man who gave her a piggyback ride across the dance floor to the song, “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” by country duo Big & Rich.

“I got onto the back of a gentleman, Burt,” Baldock said, a gleeful laughter in her voice. “I got on the back of Burt, and he rode me across there and I was hanging on.”

Shallenberger said part of the fun of going to the Stampede is getting

dressed up. She said that she and her sister dress up in costumes for every major holiday such as Easter, Christmas and the Fourth of July.

Often they hand out treats.

For Halloween, the sisters dressed up in matching orange wigs and black and orange dresses with pumpkins on them.

It’s not just line dancing the sisters enjoy. The two have done ballroom dancing and even the fitness dancing workout known as Zumba.

The sisters described themselves as avid travelers; Shallenberger has been to 32 countries and Baldock has been to 40. Both have been to every state in the United States.

“When you speak of a place or you see it on TV, we can say, ‘hey, we’ve been there,” Shallenberger said.

When they’re not dancing or traveling, they may be out fishing for trout.

“In the last two years, I’ve gone up to Big Bear for a week, and I’ve caught five pounders,” Baldock said.

Shallenberger and Baldock were two of six siblings that were born and raised on a 180-acre farm in Arkansas, where they grew cotton and cut trees. They moved to California as young adults.

The sisters have many memories of time spent together, but Shallenberger said she’s most enjoyed the recent times she and her sister have done things together.

“We’ve spent a lot of time together,” Shallenberger said. “From the time we were babies until now, but the last few years have been the wonderful years.”

Each year, the Women of Distinction ceremony brings the community together to honor women from throughout the region who through their volunteerism and other efforts set an example for future generations to emulate.

Finalists are selected by a panel of previous Women of Distinction honorees.

The ceremony continues a legislative tradition that began in 1987 that includes recognitions of women’s accomplishments by both the state Senate and Assembly.

Shelley Burnach of San Bernardino has been selected as the 2017 23rd Senate District’s Woman of the Year.

This year’s event was held at the Goldy S. Lewis Community Center, located in Rancho Cucamonga’s Central Park.

Nine women from the southwest Riverside County area were honored as “Women of Distinction” by state Sen. Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, during a dinner ceremony in Rancho Cucamonga Friday, Nov. 3.

Morrell’s district, which includes portions of Menifee, Hemet and San Jacinto, showcased the outstanding work of 36 women who are making a difference in their communities.

Lynne Hartung, Resa Rosenstien and Kelly Smith from Menifee; Anna Pechanec Ancheta, Lori Raupe and Sharyl Williams from Hemet and Kathleen Prokop, Karen Revay and Mary Jean Stevenson from San Jacinto were named to the honor.

Also named was Valerie Machain, who lives in Redlands but is the executive director of The Village, an active life plan community in Hemet.

“The women we recognize each year are regarded highly by family, friends and colleagues,” Morrell said. “That they are nominated by

Kaiser Permanente celebrates new Murrieta medical building with ribbon cutting Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Members of the community gathered together Thursday, Nov. 2, to celebrate the completion of a brand-new Kaiser Permanente medical office building with a ribbon cutting.

City officials, chamber of commerce members and Kaiser Permanente staff gathered together to celebrate the roughly 82,000 square foot building, which was opened for business Nov. 7.

The high-tech new facility, located at 28150 Keller Road, will offer such services as adult primary care, OBGYN, cardiology, head and neck surgery, general surgery and ophthalmology, said Frank Flowers, Kaiser Permanente’s medical director for the Riverside area.

Flowers noted that exam rooms would have 42-inch monitors, allowing physicians to go which would display such things as patient records and lab results. The monitors would also allow opportunities for physicians to educate their patients, he said.

Vita Willett, Executive Director for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, said one of the benefits of the medi-

TAX from page A-1 Reiss said he believes the increase in gas prices is likely to particularly impact Temecula, as the area is considered a “commuter town.”

“A lot of people commute to jobs to San Diego, Orange County, LA,” he said. “This hurts people in the pocket.”

Nam-Yong Horn, a longtime Republican activist, was among the protesters Saturday. She said she believed the tax would end up hurting people in difficult financial straits.

“I think most people are struggling,” Horn said. “You’ve got to

cal facility opening is that it will offer services that patients once had to drive far distances to get.

“Down in this area we have over 100,000 members and they have actually been traveling up to Moreno Valley and to Riverside for many of the services that we’re going to be able to provide right here in Murrieta,” she said.

Bob Blair, chief administrative officer at Southern California Permanente Medical Group, touted the buildings many environmentallyfriendly features.

He said the building boasts electric vehicle charging stations, preferred parking for carpool and low-emitting vehicles, bike racks and solar panels.

“All of lighting in the building is LED,” Blair said. “It has occupancy sensors, so it will go off when people aren’t in the area, which will make this building very energy-efficient as well.”

Representatives from the offices of Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, California State Senator Richard Roth, State Senator Jeff Stone and Representative Ken Calvert each provided certificates of recognition to the medical center as part of the event.

Third district Supervisor Chuck Washington during a speech praised Murrieta Mayor Rick Gibbs, who he said had been a proponent for increasing health care options.

“There are two things that he talked about that he wanted to see happen in Murrieta: One was higher education and the other one was health services,” Washington said. “He has done a yeoman’s job at bringing health care to this city.”

Gibbs said the facility would not just benefit the people of the Murrieta.

“This is a regional facility that is going to serve 100,000 subscribers plus all the other folks who are going to wander in through here for all the services you provide,” Gibbs said. “This is a facility that is about living life, providing health and ensuring the best possible care for the citizens of this region.”

The medical building is one part of a multi-phase plan that will happen over 25 years on 37.6 acres on the northeast corner of Antelope and Keller Roads.

The project is expected to include the medical offices as well as three- and four-story tall hospital buildings once it’s complete.

have two, three jobs to feed your kid or have a place to live and all that. In my opinion, raising (the) gas tax is not the way to go.”

Bob Kowell of Murrieta said he anticipates an increase not just at the pump, but also in grocery and retails stores. Kowell said his wife had noticed an increase in the price of items during a recent shopping trip.

“Everything goes up when you raise a tax, especially a gas tax,” he said.

Senate Bill 1 was signed into law

by Gov. Jerry Brown, April 28. It increases the gasoline excise tax by 12 cents a gallon for gasoline and 20 cents a gallon for diesel.

It increases the sales tax on diesel to 5.75 percent and raises vehicle registration fees by anywhere from $25 to $175, depending on the value of a vehicle.

Money garnered from the tax is intended to repair roads, highways, bridges and improve public transportation, Brown said.

Area Republicans have railed against the tax increase on social media.

“This complete disregard for Californians’ budgets by the Sacramento Democrats is astonishing,” Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, said in a Facebook post. “Time to repeal this gas tax and start prioritizing Californians’ hard earned tax dollars!”

The official Facebook page for the Riverside County Republican Party encouraged opponents of the tax increase to join in an anti-tax demonstration on Main Street in Corona. It also talked of a future petition to try to get the increase repealed.

Notably absent from the Temecula Duck Pond protest were counter protesters in favor of the gas tax increase.

MORENO VALLEY – Seven veterans who never finished high school due to their military service in war dating back to World War II will finally be receiving their diplomas in special ceremonies Monday, Nov. 13, in Moreno Valley. Among those honored veterans will be four from the Temecula and San Jacinto valleys.

The high school diploma presentation is done through the efforts of the Riverside County Board of Education, the Riverside County Office of Education and the Riverside County of Veterans’ Services in a program called “Operation Recognition.”

The local veterans who will be receiving diplomas are James Morris from Canyon Lake who served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War; Timothy Basquez from San Jacinto who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War; Mark Salesky of San Jacinto who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and Joseph Harrison of Perris who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Veterans from Riverside and Corona who will be receiving their diplomas are Manual Blunt from Riverside who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War; Edward Clark of Norco who served

in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War and Robert Hotchkiss of Riverside who served with the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. Operation Recognition, since its inception in 2007, has presented more than 300 diplomas to residents of Riverside County who missed completing high school due to their military service in World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War and those due to internment in World War II JapaneseAmerican relocation camps.

The 2017 Operation Recognition program will be held 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, at the Moreno Valley Conference Center, 14075 Fredrick St. in Moreno Valley. The servicemen will meet and receive their diplomas nearly 50 years later in fitting ceremonies during Veterans Day week.

The program is authorized by Education Code Section 51440 and 51430. The program is open to current residents of Riverside County whose high school education was interrupted by military service in the three past wars.

location, especially during President Donald Trump’s run for office, have typically attracted opposing groups. But it was just anti-tax increase conservatives who stood at the corner of Ynez and Rancho California roads.

Reiss said the atmosphere was relatively peaceful, too. Nearly everyone who drove by and honked their horn did so in a show of

support. No one shouted or made gestures.

Reiss said he hopes that means people on both sides see the tax increase the same way.

“Maybe it’s something everyone can agree upon, and we can all work together on this issue,” he said.

With development impending, Fallbrook-based model aircraft club seeks new space to fly Burke said he’s been building planes since he started 13 years ago and has gotten better and more experienced at it with each passing build.

He said the field in Fallbrook has been his go-to location to fly his aircraft and that it’s hard to imagine going somewhere else.

“I love the field,” he said. “It’s probably one of the nicest fields around our area, and we’re going to be losing it obviously, eventually. I hope we can replace it with something.”

For more information on the club, visit www.palomarrcflyers. com.

To contact the club about providing a space, email club member Steve Gebler at fly@stevegebler. com.

Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Model aircraft enthusiasts have gone to an 85-acre plot of land off state Route 76 in Fallbrook nearly every weekday and every weekend for about 20 years to fly, but that tradition may soon change as development blossoms in that part of the village.

“You stand out there on the flight line, and you just know we’re going to be standing in the middle of a car wash, a McDonalds and a department store at some point,” Steve Gebler, next year’s president for the Palomar Radio Control Flyers Club, said.

“It’s just inevitable that that’s going to happen.”

The club, which has roughly 200 members from Riverside, San Diego and Orange counties, has been using the plot of land near the intersection of Pankey Road and SR-76, just east of Interstate 15, to fly model fixed wing airplanes, model helicopters and drones.

The surrounding area is ripe for development. Housing will be put in about a mile away, and Palomar College’s North Education Center – currently under construction – will be about a half mile away.

Gebler said the Sacramentobased land developer that owns the vacant parcel of land where the club operates has been very communicative and has told club officials it will give them as much notice as possible when it starts to build on its land.

“But we know, if we don’t start looking for a new location now that it’s going to be a problem,” Gebler said.

He said he’s now trying to put out the word out that the club is looking for another space to operate and is trying to facilitate an agreement with another landholder in the area.

“We have 85 acres – we don’t need that much,” Gebler said.

“We’ve been blessed to have that much space, but what we’re really looking for is five-plus flat acres.”

Gebler said he knows there are concerns over drones and the way they’re flown.

“There’s ordinances being put up because some of the guys who are flying these things are knuckleheads when it comes down to it,” Gebler said. “And they’re causing problems by flying into populated areas and stuff like that.”

Gebler said one of the advantageous things about the Radio Control Flyers is they observe by-

laws put in place by the Academy of Model Aeronautics and make sure people who are interested in the drone craze are learning how to fly the toys properly and safely.

On Monday morning, it was business as usual on the land as a group of seven or eight people flew their model aircrafts.

They could be seen placing the aircraft onto a small takeoff strip and sending them off the same way a real airplane would take off

at an airport.

Frank Burke, of Fallbrook, has been a part of the club since 2004.

He was flying his model Republic P47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter plane that morning. The plane was painted bright hues of orange and silver.

“It’s not done in World War colors or scale or anything,” he said. “In Reno, they race planes, and that was my idea of what a Reno race P47 would be.”

Local Rainbow’s Patton publishes first fictional book RAINBOW – Rainbow resident Marion “Jake” Patton, a.k.a. Buck Immov, has written several books of adventure stories inspired by his childhood in the Colorado Rockies and by the great Old West.

“I have ridden the high country and know its people,” Patton said. “My dad ran the Hayden Ranch, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I’ve put everything I knew about or could find out about into all the adventures I could think of.”

In his book, “Trouble at Saddleback Creek,” the hero is a gunfighter who hates killing, so he decides

to buy a ranch, hoping to settle down to a quiet life.

Unfortunately for him, his neighbor on the next ranch over starts making trouble for everyone and adventure ensues.

“I show strong but flawed men and women dealing with terrible problems, deadly dangers and funny situations,” Patton said. “The high country people I have shown it to have found it authentic, entertaining and amusing.”

Patton spent his first 20 years in the small Colorado towns of Buena Vista and Leadville. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Reed College

and the University of Oregon and completed research fellowships in Iowa, Wisconsin and Virginia. He spent 25 years as a diver and a marine biologist in California, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

Subsequently, he taught biology courses at several California colleges. He published 25 science ar-

ticles during his time in academia.

Patton’s work can be found on his blog at www.marionlouispatton.wixsite.com/buckimmov or on Smashwords, the publishing website for indie e-books, www. smashwords.com/profile/view/ marionlouispatton.

The group will meet every other month to address the many needs and challenges in the community related to homelessness including addiction, behavioral health, housing and basic necessities such as transportation, identification and health care. The city of Lake Elsinore says its overall goal is to bring together all local resources to collaborate and address these challenges to be able to help someone right away by connecting them to the right resources at the right time to get them out of homelessness.

Desmond Young with Riverside Recovery Resources and a member of the Homeless Task Force said he was in recovery after working in the corporate world in Sacramento.

“I saw the homeless situation but for whatever reason it hit me up in Sacramento. Obviously, we can’t rely on just the government to help,” he said. “Truly, my heart is in this and that is what I see from your representatives its not a political thing for them, they are looking to make a difference. We are not going to end homelessness, but they are doing something about it.”

After a question and comment period, Tisdale had some tough words for those in the audience.

“We are going to do what is right for our city and the homeless too,” he said. “We need to work with our partners, we need to work with our region, we need to work with the county and we need to work with everyone to come together. Those folks we can help, we will. Those folks we can’t help, it is what it is.”

to homelessness.

“It’s a community wide effort,” she said. “If we can do that, I think we can make a bigger difference.”

Code enforcement Officer Fred Lopez told the group that there are more than 85 homeless encampments throughout the city. He said his department takes all the calls they receive seriously and have responded to each call they receive.

Some hot spots for the homeless include empty businesses, parks and the lake.

“A lot we deal with impacts our lake. We deal with a lot of environmental hazards,” Lopez said, adding that he and his department try to be proactive. “We sit down as a group to determine how we can utilize our policies and codes to be effective.”

He said there are codes regulating solicitation, vehicle solicitation, camping on private property, shopping cart ordinances, parks and beaches regulations, unattended donation box regulations and nuisance abatement code.

The city holds those who fail to properly maintain their property, financially responsible if the city has to deal with abatement, which can cost the city anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 to clean, depending on the size of the properties. Since July 1, 2016, the city has removed 175 tons of junk and debris from120 transient camp cleanups at a cost of approximately $225,000, Lopez said.

“The transients are getting creative with where they are deciding to stay,” he said.

Currently the city is looking for anyone interested including private and nonprofit businesses, faithbased organizations, governmental agencies and individuals willing to join the coalition to help find real, lasting solutions for the homeless

moderated the two-hour meeting, began by sharing some facts with the more than 200 people in attendance. She told the group that in 2014 the city created the Homeless ad hoc Subcommittee to address feeding the homeless in parks. In 2015 the city began proactive enforcement of illegal encampments.

In 2016, weekly enforcements of illegal encampments began and in October 2016, the city adopted the Regional Homeless Alliance Resolution.

According to Daily, in January, a Point in Time count showed 62 homeless people in Lake Elsinore.

“We know that that number is probably a little bit lower than the number is actually is but with no straight boundary lines around the city, it’s hard to get an accurate number of what is going on in any of our communities,” she said.

“They are transients and they do move around but it gives us a base of where we were in that point and time.”

The city also created a new council subcommittee on homelessness in May, appointing Mayor Pro Tem Natasha Johnson and councilman Brian Tisdale to the group and launched its homeless task force in June. The city’s role in the homeless task force includes enforcement, policies and programs, including municipal code, housing programs, etc., and engagement and education of the community on how they can help those in need.

“This is a problem we have all across the country.,” Daily said. “I don’t know that anyone has really found a solution to the problem, so it is naïve to think that we will.”

Daily said that nonprofits, churches, businesses and residents also have roles to fill when it comes

HS Football: Week 10 action sets the playoff table, Spiker ties all-time receiving record In the South Valley League Rancho Christian (7-3, 5-0) ran away with their second consecutive league title after sweeping their league opponents and in the Mountain Pass League it was Citrus Hill (9-1, 5-0) with another dominating performance this year as they claimed their seventh consecutive league title.

The breakdown of the Southwestern League games from Week Ten, plus Sunbelt League games and post season brackets are as follows:

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The first goal; make it to the post season. The second goal; be the last team standing. The regular season is over and now a couple handfuls of local high school football teams will put that second goal to the test.

Week 10 around the area proved to be one of the weeks where one should never underestimate their opponent and now that the CIF-SS brackets are out, the real fight to the finish begins.

In the Southwestern League the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks (8-2, 5-0) won the Southwestern League title outright for the second straight season on a night where Nighthawk Receiver Marquis Spiker hauled in his 66th career touchdown catch to match the state record. The record has been held since 2000 and was set by Earvin Johnson of L.A. Cathedral, who went on to play at UNLV after high school.

“I knew I had a shot at the record as we came into the season, but the goal has not been to tie, it is to break it,” said Spiker, who tied the record with a 60-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Spiker, who will be playing Division 1 college football next year at the University of Washington, will get his chance to take the top spot amid a healthy postseason run. That same night the Nighthawks not only had three receivers, but also one running back finish with at least 100 yards in the 45-28 victory on the road over Murrieta Mesa. Junior QB Hank Bachmeier completed six passes apiece to Spiker, Jordan Murry and Taliq Brown and finished with 367 yards and four TDs on the night. Bachmeier also rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns.

Murrieta Mesa wasn’t a team that would go quietly in the night though as they answered back late in the game to keep the Nighthawk’s on their toes. Rams QB Jeff Miller scored on a 1-yard keeper and hurled a 32-yard touchdown pass to senior WR Cayden Chambers to get the Rams within 4 points midway through the fourth quarter.

Bachmeier then clutched up and sealed the win for Murrieta Valley when he scored on a 15-yard scamper into the end zone.

Miller completed 28 of 40 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns.

Kai Thompson had 111 yards on the ground for the Rams, who received an at-large entry into the Division 4 playoffs. Julius Johnson had 115 yards on 16 carries for Murrieta Valley who will open up the Division 1 high school playoffs with a home game against Santa Margarita (7-3, 3-2).

Great Oak (3-2, 5-5) secured the No. 2 spot in the Southwestern League this past week by beating Vista Murrieta 26-14 behind the rushing of Danny Morales, along with a stellar defensive stand all night. The victory is the first for the Wolfpack over the Broncos in school history. Morales rushed for 169 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns, while the defense, led by Jack Lamb and Preston Toner, stifled the Broncos all night. Great Oak QB McGwire Bustamante completed eight of 23 passes for 150 yards and tight end Brennan Jackson hauled in four receptions for 79 yards as the Wolfpack ended the night with 336 yards of total offense on their home turf.

For the Sunbelt League, the Heritage Patriots won their eighth consecutive Sunbelt League championship in a back-and-forth game that came down to the last possession against Paloma Valley (8-2, 4-1). Senior RB James Phillips’ breakaway 43-yard touchdown run with 3:02 left in the game lifted Heritage to a thrilling, winner-takeall 41-38 victory. For Heritage, ranked No. 2 in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2, this was the closest game they have had to play against a league opponent when the title was on the line. With the win the Patriots recorded their 40th consecutive league victory.

Great Oak’s Cole Condon (22) comes up with a huge late interception to secure the Wolfpack’s first ever David Canales photo win over Vista Murrieta during Week Ten action.

West Valley High School student named Semper-Fidelis AllAmerican Athlete

ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK Serving the communities of Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Menifee, Sun City, Lake Elsinore, Hemet, San Jacinto, and Anza weekly.

HEMET – A West Valley High School student was one out of 96 students across the nation to be named a Semper-Fidelis AllAmerican Athlete. Krystina Lorch,

a senior at West Valley, was anonymously nominated last year for the honor and received an all-expense paid trip to Washington with the other nominees over the summer.

This year was the first year the United States Marines were honoring both boys and girls for the title of All-American athlete.

Lorch said she didn’t know what to expect when she got off the plane in Washington for the All-American Athlete Battles Won Academy. She said as soon as they walked into the hotel they saw banners congratulating all the students for being named an All-American Athlete. During their three-day visit, they went on a scavenger hunt where each monument had a clue, attended a community service event where they helped clear a football field of weeds and tall grass and participated in combat training. Lorch said she truly enjoyed her trip and was thankful for the opportunity to make friends with people around the country.

The Marines were very selective in who was named to the honor; they had specific guidelines for the students, and all students needed to meet certain requirements.

Students needed to be juniors in high school, hold a 3.5 GPA, play a competitive sport, log community service hours and have been faced with adversity. In her essay to the Marines, Lorch said that at the age

of 10 she was elbowed in the eye and ruptured a blood vessel, which resulted in surgery. After surgery, she experienced inflammation and needed multiple medications both topical and injections. After seven years of recovery and many side effects from the medications, Lorch was released from her primary ophthalmologist.

Middle school was the toughest time for Lorch because that time was when she was struggling with her eyesight the most. She remembers losing friendships during this time, and she began focusing on academia and athletics as a way to deal with her struggles. She became involved in student council and became the president, she was on the Academic Decathlon team and she received praise for her athleticism both at school and in her community leagues.

Despite her adversity, Lorch is determined to meet her goals.

She has already been accepted at Felician University in New Jersey where she will continue to play softball and study cyber security and psychology to pursue her dream of working for the FBI.

HS Girls’ Volleyball: Round 2 action knocks herd out of the postseason JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As the playoff brackets live on, not a single local team made it past the quarterfinal round of the CIF-SS girls’ volleyball playoffs last week. Temecula Valley (29-5, 9-1) looked to have the best chance, they even scored a first round bye after claiming their second straight Southwestern League title, but the Lady Golden Bears fell to Harvard-Westlake (19-10, 4-3) in the second round of the Division 1 playoffs, 3 sets to 1.

Also in the Division 1 playoffs, Chaparral (14-12, 3-7) fell in the first round as did Great Oak (15-11, 6-4) and Vista Murrieta (18-8, 8-2) rallied over Edison in the first round, but they too fell in round 2 when they traveled to face Marymount. In Division 3 action, Murrieta Mesa (14-12, 0-10) had some momentum after beating Elsinore (23-13, 10-0) in the first round, which was the

Education

Murrieta Valley Unified School District forced to consider trustee elections by district under threat of lawsuit Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Murrieta Valley Unified School District held a public hearing, Oct. 26, to discuss switching their election system from “atlarge” to “by trustee districts.”

In accordance to the switch, the special board of education met for their first California Voting Rights Act presentation.

The meeting was prompted by

lawsuit threats from the law firm Shenkman and Hughes, who has used the California Voting Rights Act as the basis to sue several cities and municipalities throughout Southern California, most recently the city of Murrieta. The law firm sent a letter in late September on behalf of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project claiming that the district’s use of an at-large election system “dilutes the ability of Latinos to elect can-

didates of their choice,” along with disenfranchising voters. The letter prompts that voters throughout the district’s boundaries should elect board trustees.

The district has until Feb. 1 to respond or to face a lawsuit.

According to Public Information Officer Karen Parris, “The district is committed to creating the most democratic process, but the matter remains that no one has expressed concern until the lawsuit was

brought up.”

The lawsuits to defend the current election system that was brought to other municipalities have not been successful in court and have cost them significantly.

“What that means is that of all of the cities and districts that have been contacted, all have made the decision to switch to by-trustee voting because there is little chance of prevailing in court,” Parris said.

New emblem unveiled for updated name of Juan Bautista De Anza Elementary SAN JACINTO – Fourth and fifth-grade students, school staff, descendants of Juan Bautisa de Anza and guests gathered on the front lawn at San Jacinto Unified School District’s De Anza Elementary, Tuesday, Oct. 24, to see the unveiling of a new emblem on the wall near the front entrance, commemorating the school’s namesake during the inaugural San Jacinto Heritage Month of October. The district’s board of trustees took action, Sept. 13, 2016, updating the elementary school’s

name to Juan Bautista De Anza to give proper recognition and to ensure his contributions to the history of San Jacinto Valley are maintained.

“The emphasis of Heritage Month is to celebrate the rich heritage of San Jacinto and share historical facts and highlight events and persons that shaped our community,” John I. Norman, SJUSD’s board president said. “Like many of our schools, De Anza Elementary was named after a historic person, and we want to ensure the kids know why.”

The new emblem, created by San Jacinto High School alumni Michael Frazer, features a Spanish rider on horseback, illustrating the famous explorer Juan Bautista De Anza who made a trail from New Mexico to San Jose, California, discovering the San Jacinto Valley in his route to the Colorado River and across the desert. De Anza student Sky Diddock, the firstplace winner in an essay contest held for fourth and fifth graders for San Jacinto Heritage Month, recited her story during the emblem unveiling, sharing the facts about the explorer.

Diddock was recognized at the San Jacinto Heritage Festival held at the Estudilllo Mansion, Oct. 21, with a medal and a bicycle.

Special guests at the emblem unveiling included descendants of Juan Bautista de Anza: Janice Zinnicker, Bill Freeman and Susan Felix; all three were accompanied by their spouses. These descendants have helped the National Park Service and Heritage Trails Foundation with family history and photos and are members of the Juan Bautista de Anza Society. Many years ago, Zinnicker and Freeman participated in a trail re-enactment relay by jogging the five-mile stretch of Bautista Road near Hemet. Zinnicker’s father posed for the sculptor that created the statue of the famous explorer that still stands in Newman Park in Riverside.

San Jacinto Mayor Scott Miller presented Principal Lauren Armijo with a proclamation recognizing Juan Bautista De Anza Elementary.

“You are witnessing history today with the renaming of this school and the addition of this new emblem,” he said to the students assembled. “It will be up to you to share this event with other students that follow.”

The entire ceremony was captured as a LiveStream video on the district’s Facebook account, simultaneously shown to the remaining students gathered in the multipurpose room. All students received a cookie at the end of the day, featuring an edible emblem image in its center.

The city of San Jacinto, along with San Jacinto Unified and the Soboba Tribal Council proclaimed October as San Jacinto Heritage Month. Just before Oct. 1, light pole banners were installed in the downtown area for each of these three organizations, which also depict their individual date of establishment.

LOMA LINDA – Loma Linda University Cancer Center is a recipient of the 2017 ACCC Innovator Award, presented by the Association of Community Cancer Centers, for their innovative program, “A Perfect Fit: Mentoring Experienced RNs to Meet Oncology Clinic Demand.”

The Innovator Awards recognize members that exhibit forward-thinking and pioneering programs that improve access, quality and cost effectiveness of cancer care delivery.

The LLU Cancer Center created its program to encourage career development and specialization

in oncology as an effective alternative to minimize staffing shortages.

During the ACCC 34th Oncology Conference held Oct. 18-20 in Nashville, Tennessee, registered nurses Lexine Thall, director of patient care at LLU Cancer Center, and Kristina Chase, supervisor of patient care at Loma Linda University Health Beaumont-Banning, accepted the award on the center’s behalf.

While in Nashville, Tennessee, Thall and Chase had the opportunity to share with various health care organizations how they overcame staffing shortages by

Temecula Valley Hospital earns ‘A’ grade for patient safety for the third time in a row TEMECULA – The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit health care ratings organization, released the new Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades in October. The safety grade assigns letter grades of A, B, C, D and F to hospitals nationwide based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms. Temecula Valley Hospital was one of 48 hospitals in California to receive an “A” three times in a row for its commitment to keeping patients safe and for meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S. “We are very pleased that this is the third time in a row that we have received the ‘A’ rating from Leapfrog,” Darlene Wetton, CEO of Temecula Valley Hospital, said.

“Receiving an ‘A’ demonstrates the commitment and high standards of care that our physicians and staff provide to the community. Patient safety is a very important priority to us at Temecula Valley Hospital.”

Developed under the guidance

of a Blue Ribbon National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.

“It takes consistent, unwavering dedication to patients to achieve the highest standards of patient safety.

An ‘A’ safety grade recognizes hospitals for this accomplishment,” Leah Binder, president and CEO of the Leapfrog Group, said. “We congratulate the clinicians, board, management and staff of Temecula Valley Hospital for showing the country what it means to put patient safety first.”

To see Temecula Valley Hospital’s full grade and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit www.hospitalsafetygrade.org and follow the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade on Twitter and Facebook.

Community educational program to share insight on knee replacement, new technology TEMECULA – The Temecula Valley Hospital is offering a community education program called “Medical Gold Minds,” which will be a talk on knee replacement and new technology of patient-specific instrumentation with guest speaker Dr. Matthew Gargulinski, a boardcertified orthopedic surgeon.

The education series will be held 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9 in the operations center on the sec-

ond floor of the hospital, 31700 Temecula Parkway, in Temecula.

Gargulinski will discuss causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosing, treatment options, knee replacement and rehab and technological advancements.

A light dinner will be served.

Reservations are not required.

thinking “outside the box.”

“Our aim was to provide a mentorship program in conjunction with vetted education tools to develop these RNs professionally and alleviate our staffing crisis,” Thall said.

The pilot program launched in 2014 following an analysis of appointment types and RN skill levels needed for each visit type.

The results showed that 40 percent of the Cancer Center’s supportive care therapies, such as hydration and blood transfusions, did not require an RN with chemotherapy skills and oncology experience.

The information offered a unique opportunity to fill RN vacancies with experienced non-oncology nurses and create a pathway for RNs to obtain their chemotherapy biotherapy certificate from the Oncology Nursing Society or Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation.

“It has given many nurses an opportunity to gain experience in a specialty area for which many employers may not be willing to bear the educational costs,” Thall said.

Through the mentorship program, 100 percent of participants have attained this certification.

Additionally, 90 percent of the participants attaining their provider card have remained with the organization.

Rainbow Water District approves lockbox services for bill payment Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Rainbow Municipal Water District will utilize RT Lawrence Corporation for lockbox services which will allow Rainbow customers to pay their utility bills.

Rainbow’s board voted 4-0 with Michael Mack absent, Sept.

26, to approve a professional services agreement with RT Lawrence Corp., which is based in Whittier.

“This is just a way to process the bills more efficiently and free up staff time,” Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy said.

“We’re trying to manage our labor resources more effectively by outsourcing our processing of bills.”

A lockbox service is a thirdparty service which receives and processes payments on behalf of the agency receiving the payments.

Rainbow’s customer service de-

partment currently sends approximately 7,800 bills each month, and approximately 3,000 of those are paid by a physical check and processed by customer service staff which must open all payment envelopes, manually enter each check into the financial software system, balance all payments at the end of the day and prepare the checks for deposit in a bank. Planned development within the Rainbow service area could add 1,000 new accounts, so outsourcing the payments will eliminate the need for the district to add staff to process the payments.

Rainbow staff solicited quotes from lockbox vendors and received two formal quotes and one informal quote. RT Lawrence was identified as the most responsible bidder best meeting the needs of the district.

Their set prices were at a lower

This and that; Shenkman strikes again and thanking our veterans Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Like Temecula Unified School District, and all the surrounding communities’ city councils, Murrieta Valley Unified School District is now facing a lawsuit regarding the way trustees are elected to the school board.

You read that correctly, the law firm of Shenkman and Hughes is now going after MVUSD, sending a letter in late September on behalf of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project. The letter claimed the district’s use of an at-large election system “dilutes the ability of Latinos to elect candidates of their choice,” along with disenfranchising voters.

Murrieta Valley Unified School District held a public hearing, Oct. 26, to discuss switching their election system from at-large to by-district. In accordance to the switch, the special board of educa-

tion met for their first California Voting Rights Act presentation.

The district now has until Feb. 1 to respond or they will face a lawsuit.

Most readers know that I am in favor of voting by district, but I really dislike when a shady lawyer, such as Kevin Shenkman, gets involved and forces the issue, not allowing voters within a city to make the decision they feel is best for them.

Back in July, Valley News intern Will Fritz actually sat down and interviewed Shenkman, who happened to drive a Tesla to the meeting. He said he would continue with the lawsuits until, “there are no more violations of this law.”

Let’s talk about Shenkman for a moment. He admitted posting a picture of a $4 million check in an award he won fighting against the city of Palmdale to Facebook with the caption “Picture me rollin,’ bitches,” even though the money wasn’t all his. He said the posting

was “probably juvenile” but that those he fights against need to “understand what the consequences of fighting against the voting rights of the minority constituents are.”

This is the guy that also said, “If there’s a city that we have to go to court over, I would really like it to be Murrieta. One, because of the stark racially polarized voting in Murrieta. And two, because Murrieta is a racist, racist place.”

Let that sink in for a moment.

To me, Shenkman appears to be a greedy, greedy guy with an ax to grind against the city that I call home. And that, folks, just ruffles my feathers.

Bottom line though, MVUSD must protect itself from a costly lawsuit and will probably end up making the move to by-district elections, like all the other cities Shenkman has set his sights on. You can read Stephanie Lai’s story in our education section in this edition of Valley News, and

if you happen to be interested in what Shenkman had to say for himself when he sat with Fritz, you can do so online at http://myvalleynews.com/local/ shenkman-brings-change-sometimes-unwanted-city-councilsmurrieta-temecula-beyond/.

Thank a veteran In the story, “Veterans Day events in southwest Riverside County,” writer Tony Ault reminds us, “It is only fitting every American should take Saturday, Nov. 11, to reflect upon the sacrifices soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have given and are giving to preserve freedom.”

Thousands of southwestern Riverside County residents have served in various branches in the military, and Veterans Day events throughout the area give us all the opportunity to thank a veteran and their families for their service.

A wide variety of special obser-

vances are scheduled in our coverage area, so I highly recommend you read Ault’s story and be sure to attend a Veterans Day event near you, taking the time to thank a veteran for their service.

These veterans and their families have sacrificed much for our country. From long deployments to fighting on the front lines, their selflessness has served to ensure the freedoms we enjoy today.

Coming from a military family, I can tell you that a small gesture of appreciation is something that will cost you nothing but shows our veterans how much their sacrifices truly mean to those of us who remained on the home front while they served our country. So be sure to thank a veteran for their service when you see them out and about, not just on Veterans Day, but every day.

But hey, it’s only my opinion.

‘Homelessophobia’ takes over Menifee Our Backyard Friends Bill Freeman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A few years ago I went to get my driver’s license renewed. It was my day off, so I might have looked kind of grubby or like a homeless person, because the woman behind the counter asked me questions I’d never been asked before when getting my license renewed.

“Do you have hallucinations? Do you hear voices?” she said.

I chuckled and said, “No. But I do see visions. But I think I’m supposed to because I’m a minister.”

She laughed and said to the woman next to her, “This one says he sees visions, but it’s OK because he’s a minister.”

She laughed too. They did renew my license.

I really do see visions, though.

I see a vision for the city of Menifee where there are no homeless people. Instead they’re in low-cost housing with a case worker getting them job training, mental health help or drug addiction assistance. In my vision, the city of Menifee pays for all this help, because, as Willie Sutton said when he was asked why he robbed banks, “That’s where the

money is.”

I thought city council members saw the same vision when they set up a Homeless Task Force about a year ago and their mantra was, “Housing First.” In other words, they would fund housing for the homeless first, then get them help.

But next the council passed an ordinance prohibiting “aggressive panhandling,” which wasn’t “Housing First,” but was “Punishment First.” It’s understandable though, because they don’t want a homeless person asking for money from people at the ATM. Next, the council hired two park rangers who roused homeless people out of parks, parking lots, etc., sending them on their way to someplace else. This action was still not “Housing First;” it’s more like, “Shuffle-them-off-to-Buffalo First.” Again, it’s understandable, because homeless people are not wanted in parks, parking lots, etc.

By this point, I was willing to accept that we weren’t going to have “Housing First,” we were going to have “Housing Last.”

But at a recent Homeless Task Force meeting, I was told by a city council member that there was not

going to be any city funds to pay for a case worker or for housing for homeless people. So, now it’s not “Housing First” or even, “Housing Last,” but it’s “Housing Never.”

Again, I suppose it’s understandable. From what I’ve seen in more than three years of living in Menifee, people don’t want the homeless here. And the city council must believe no one wants their hard-earned tax dollars to pay for helping and housing homeless people. So where are the homeless supposed to go? To the next town? But the next town will just send their homeless people back to Menifee.

I’ve come to realize that just as there is homophobia or a fear of gay people, there is “homelessophobia” or a fear of homeless people. But as the Bible said in I John 4:8, “Perfect love casts out fear.” So what the city of Menifee needs is perfect love to cast out the fear of homeless people.

The Rev. Bill Freeman is the senior minister at Menifee United Church of Christ, which meets 11 a.m. Sundays at 26701 McCall Blvd. in Menifee.

Assemblywoman Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California is a great state with a rich diversity of native wildlife. In the mid-1980s, I took Project Wildlife training as a native songbird rehabilitator, and have rescued many orphaned baby birds or injured adults through the decades.

This session my AB 1031, signed into law, creates the Native California Wildlife Rehabilitation Fund setting up voluntary tax return checkoffs providing resources to nonprofits who rehab injured, orphaned or sick native wildlife.

So who do you call if you find or notice an injured or sick wild animal? Depending on the situation, its best to not touch them until given instruction. In the case of baby birds, parents are most likely watching or an animal might be highly stressed or disease-ridden.

A list of wildlife rehabilitation organizations is available online by visiting www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Laboratories/WildlifeInvestigations/Rehab/Facilities As one of the most biologically diverse areas in the country, we are fortunate to have a number of wildlife rehabilitation organizations. In

North San Diego, the Escondido campus of the SD Humane Society, recently merged with Project Wildlife and the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, cares for pets and injured or sick wildlife.

In Ramona, The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center focuses on the rehabilitation of predators, including bobcats, coyotes and hawks. The Center rehabilitates over 500 animals each year, releasing them back to the wild when possible. Sunshine Haven in Riverside also rescues wildlife, including native reptiles.

These outstanding local organizations are mainly staffed by volunteers dedicated to nurturing native wildlife in this region. They add an appreciation for our distinct wildlife and help them to survive.

If you have time, you may consider volunteering and getting to know more about your backyard friends!

TEMECULA – Temecula resident Lynn Effinger was the keynote speaker at the 2017 Kiwanis California, Nevada and Hawaii District Convention in August at the Nugget Casino and Resort in Sparks, Nevada.

Effinger spoke about his life story from his book “Believe to Achieve – The Power of Perseverance,” choosing to meld the importance of member recruitment with his personal story about the power of perseverance. More than 800 Kiwanians were in attendance at the Inter-Club Luncheon when he spoke.

While Effinger has been involved in the housing and mortgage servicing industries for nearly four decades, his passions are community service and public speaking.

He said the two subjects go hand in hand, especially as a member of the Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley in Division 37 in Southern California.

“I joined Kiwanis in my community because of their mission to improve the world one child and one community at a time,” Effinger said.

“Our club in Temecula is comprised of diverse, dedicated and committed

individuals who really enjoy the camaraderie we share and the many community service projects we are involved in. I have been a member of other service clubs and I have been the guest speaker at others as well, but Kiwanis, to me, much more exemplifies the meaning of community service and fellowship with focus on the needs of children.”

Effinger is also the former producer and host of “Real Estate Matters,” a weekly radio talk show in San Diego, and the former founder, editor and publisher of Escondido Magazine. In addition to his varied vocational experiences, he also lectures as a motivational speaker, giving his live presentation to service clubs, corporations, trade associations, Key Club events, high schools and other organizations across the country, which he has done for more than 20 years.

“I became a motivational speaker not because I chose to be, but rather because I was compelled to do so,” Effinger said. “It all came about because at a very young age I discovered that I was ‘different’ than the other kids in my neighborhood.”

Effinger was born without a left hand. Growing up is a challenge for everyone, he said, and he recognized that his physical situation is less daunting than others have endured but that it added to his challenges nonetheless.

“I came to see that I had a choice to make,” Effinger said. “I could either sit in the corner of my room feeling sorry for myself, or I could just go out and do whatever it was that I really wanted to do.”

He chose to get moving. Effinger played five years of Little League Baseball, starting at age eight. He played in the outfield, at first base and even pitched some. But it was his hitting ability that earned him the most accolades and self-esteem. At age 11, his batting average was over .400. By the time he was 12 years old, his average nearly topped the .500 mark. Of course, this milestone was in Little League, but it is still an impressive batting average for a

young person, especially one who only has one hand, he said.

While in high school in Long Beach, California, Effinger began playing to football, he said. As he entered his freshman year, he set a goal to play on the varsity football team as a senior. He said many years later, one of his high school football coaches told him that he was the most determined athlete he had ever coached. Effinger earned a place on the varsity football team as a senior at Woodrow Wilson High School as a running back.

The team came from behind to win the Moore League title that season. In the process, Effinger was named “most inspirational senior player” and the “most courageous football player of the decade” by the Long Beach Century Club. He was also given his school’s first “Courage Award.”

It was after that championship season and just before graduation that Effinger said he first felt compelled to become a motivational speaker.

“I was called out of class to go see one of my football coaches,” Effinger said. “He asked me to talk to another student who was missing fingers on one of his hands who was in his office and in some trouble.

Coach wanted me to tell this young man about my experiences playing sports and other accomplishments, so I could try to explain the difference between ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ attention.”

Effinger said he did not feel like any kind of role model at the time, but did as his coach requested.

“After I spoke with the student, coach pulled me aside and told me that I now had a responsibility,” Effinger said. “He said that responsibility was to help others learn how to overcome adversity to achieve success. I was 17 at the time and didn’t want the responsibilities I already had, but I asked coach how I was supposed to accomplish this. He said that was for me to figure out.”

It took a few years, but when Effinger was 23 years old, married

with a son and another child on the way, he had an epiphany that would change his life forever, he said.

“I decided to get into the best physical shape of my life and try out for a semi-pro football team with the intent of then earning a tryout with an NFL team,” he said.

Effinger said that he felt if he could by successfully achieve these lofty goals, then he could demonstrate to others that through hard work, determination and perseverance one could overcome tremendous odds to achieve greater goals than anyone thought possible. He felt that was the way to fulfill the “responsibility” that Coach Crutchfield had given to him, he said.

Effinger worked out for over six months in preparation, and he not only made the team on the 1974 Southern California Rhinos semiprofessional team, he became their starting fullback and scored a decisive touchdown in the championship game, which the Rhinos won. He was also named “most inspirational player” by his teammates and coaches. He received a letter from George Allen, the former head coach of the Washington Redskins, inviting him to participate in a freeagent tryout camp.

“Every single goal I set that year came true for me,” Effinger said. “It was a life-changing experience that led me to tell that story over and over again to anyone interested in hearing about it, and it became the basis for my motivational presentation and my subsequent book.”

Through his motivational speak-

ing activities, Effinger has helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars for various charitable organizations.

He often donates up to 50 percent of his speaking fees to charity, and he recently pledged to donate half of his speaking fees going forward to his club’s foundation to help with scholarships they give to local high school students.

Over time, Effinger realized that it was not the experience of getting an NFL tryout that fulfilled the responsibility his coach gave to him, but it was his continued pursuit of sharing his motivational story and of being involved in community service that did.

And now, in addition to serving as membership chairman and marketing communications committee chair at his club and being involved in their community projects, Effinger also serves as the president-elect for 2017-2018. He is also proud to serve as the Key Club adviser at Great Oak High School in Temecula and continues to speak at Kiwanis and Key Clubs throughout the western United States, as well as other organizations whenever asked, to give his inspiring presentation.

It is just one of the ways he contributes to the mission of Kiwanis International. For his contributions to his Kiwanis Club in 2016-2017, Effinger was named Kiwanian of the Year by his fellow club members.

“When I get involved in something meaningful, I go all-in,” Effinger said. “And I am certainly all-in with Kiwanis.” high-capacity automated equipment.

Dustin Jake wins grand prize at inaugural Wine Country Music Awards Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Musician Dustin Jake took home the Grand Prize at the Wine Country Music Awards at Wilson Creek Winery Saturday, Nov. 5.

In addition to a check for $1,000, Jake also received a four-song recording EP at the recording Farm, a professionally produced music video

by Sebaz Productions, an opening slot performance with a national act at a Temecula Winery and a 30-minute opening set at the SoCal Fair in 2018.

Nearly 800 people enjoyed a variety of musical performances, food, wine, and a concert by Terri Nunn and Berlin at the inaugural Wine Country Music Awards. The event was a benefit for music education provided through two nonprofits: the Temecula Education Foundation and Mt San Jacinto College Foundation programs. A silent auction, live auction and raffle also raised funds for the nonprofits.

“This area has so much talent,” said Nunn, who has been performing professionally for 38 years. Her best-selling 1986 Berlin hit “Take My Breath Away” made the Billboard Top 100 and earned the group an Oscar.

Her advice to aspiring artists was to “really love what you are doing and don’t give up. It’s really hard, but it’s really worth it.”

Over 120 artists – individuals, duos, bands and groups – submitted entries to compete in eight categories. The top three finalists in each category were invited to the awards ceremony.

Judges included award-winning artists and music industry professionals: Erik Turner and Joey Allen of Warrant, Lee Rocker of Stray Cats, actor and musician Leo Howard, national talent buyer Roger LeBlanc, Sean Redding of The Recording Farm, Terri Nunn of Berlin, Tommy Heath of Tommy Tutone, and drummer/songwriter Vinny Appice. The voting results were independently audited by legal firm, Brad Landon Law. Winners were: WCMA Instrumentalist Award – Marston Smith WCMA Christian Music Award – Dustin Jake WCMA Youth Award – Mackenzie “Macko” O’Coyne WCMA Cover Band Award – Cougrzz Rock!

WCMA Country Award – Steven Ybarra WCMA Singer/Songwriter Award – Astra Kelly WCMA People’s Choice Award – Bob Nicholas Bozonelos WCMA Rock/Pop Award – Midnight Satellites During the red carpet and VIP reception, Marston Smith regaled the audience with his unique performances on the electric cello. Joanna Pearl, winner of the Hot Adult Contemporary Album of the Year at the 24th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards, sang the national anthem to open the event. A light jazz number

by Hollywood Five and Dime was followed by Tom Griesgraber playing the Chapman Stick.

Crowd favorite and internet sensation Kodi Lee also performed. Lee, who was born blind and diagnosed with autism at age four, played the keyboard. The musical savant was also featured as part of the evening’s impromptu “Super Band.”

American idol Alum Lindsey Carrier, Steven Ybarra, Alaina Blair, Temecula’s iHeart Radio “Rising Star” winner Dulaney & Co., the 4019s, Ask Jonesy & Company with special guest Leo Howard, San Diego’s Safety Orange, and Midnight Satellites also performed.

Nunn and her synth pop band rocked the night away with a highenergy concert.

“We had an unbelievable opening year with the WCMA’s hosted at Wilson Creek Winery,” said Gregg Hasler, owner of Golden Crown Productions, “The feedback from both the artists and attendees has been nothing short of amazing. We could not have done this without our presenting sponsor Gosch Ford of Temecula and all our other sponsors, the organizing committee and all our volunteers. 2018 will be even better.”

Veterans Day events planned in southwest Riverside County Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

It was the 11th day of the eleventh hour of the 11th month in 1918 when the armistice, a cessation of the world’s first war, was signed.

Many American soldiers died fighting the cruel and bloody war in Europe.

The Armistice Day celebration of 1918 became a national holiday.

On the same day in 1938, it became Veteran’s Day, and in the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, it became legally known as Veterans Day. Wars have come and gone, and some still rage in foreign lands where more brave men and women in the American military are still fighting and dying for the freedom of the country and the world.

As such, Americans take Nov. 11, to reflect upon the sacrifices that countless soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen have given and are giving to preserve freedom. Thousands of southwestern Riverside County residents will take this opportunity to thank a veteran and their families for their service during special observances being conducted this Veterans Day. The following is a list of the major observances taking place Veterans Day weekend.

In Temecula, the Patriotic Salute to Veterans begins 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Temecula Civic Center, 41000 Main Street, in Temecula.

The first 500 patrons will be served a free dinner on the grass of Town Square Park, until 6 p.m. It will be followed by a presentation of

the colors, singing of the national anthem performed by Resonate and playing patriotic music, offered by the Temecula Valley Symphony and guest vocalist Emily Chelsea.

Also, the Concert for Heroes will held 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at Galway Downs, 38801 Los Corralitos Road off state Route 79 in Temecula. Presented by the Horses at Manzanita Ranch, the concert will feature seven popular local bands, honoring veterans and their families. Veterans with ID are invited to attend for free. Tickets are $25 for adult admission and $10 for ages 12 to 17; children under 12 are free. Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward the care and feeding of the Manzanita Ranch horses that serve as therapy for veterans and first responders with post-traumatic stress disorder. Bring lawn chairs, warm clothes and blankets.

In Murrieta, the Veterans Day Parade will held 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Historic Murrieta Town Square Park. The parade begins on Washington Avenue with a fly over and the national anthem and will end at the Town Square Park Field of Honor where hundreds of flags will be flying. There will be vendors and outdoor events honoring all veterans in the square.

In Menifee, the Veterans Day Celebration will take place 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, at Menifee Veterans Memorial in Wheatfield Park, 30627 Menifee Road. The city of Menifee commemorates the contributions of its veterans with a Chalk Walk for the public to visually express their gratitude to its veterans. There will be picnic

Thank you for your service.

Artists awarded in Temecula open air painting contest Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Pictures of recognizable Temecula locations filled the walls of The Merc Friday, Nov. 3, during a reception for the artists who participated in an outdoors painting competition.

The 10th annual Ralph Love Plein Air Competition is named after an artist who had a shop in the city’s Old Town district and who was known for his paintings of outdoor scenes. “Plein air” is the practice of painting outdoors.

Participants in this year’s competition were limited to several local venues for painting, including the Temecula Duck Pond, Old Town, the Rose Haven Heritage Garden, the Civic Center quad or any of the area’s wineries.

From the end of September until early October, artists took to those spots and memorialized what they

windy outside.

“It blew my easel down … I ended up hanging onto the canvas as I painted it,” he said.

There were no balloons in the sky, either. Ragland said he added those after the fact because he liked how the painting looked with them.

Ragland was also very proud of a painting he did of the Temecula Valley Museum on Mercedes Street, a first for the competition.

The painting shows a man and a young girl walking into the front entrance of the museum on a clear blue day.

“I asked (organizers), and they said as far as they knew no one had ever painted it before,” he said.

Barbara Nelson, a retired art teacher at Gardner and Temecula middle schools, has participated in the competition twice now. Last year she said she decided to participate after learning about Ralph Love and his connection to the area.

and saw that this plein air was happening the following week,” she said. “And it was probably about 100 degrees, and I thought, ‘what the heck, let’s go ahead and do it.’”

During this year’s competition, Nelson took second place for her painting of the buildings on the corner of Front and Main streets in Old Town. She said part of the fun of painting them was having a series of onlookers peering at her from the nearby restaurant, 1909.

“I heard the most amazing conversations ever known to man,” she said. “It was lot of fun, and a lot of them just joined in and told me what they thought of my painting and what I should do next.”

Nelson said she was very pleased with the final product, but she already knew it was going to come out great as she was painting it on that mild Temecula day.

“It just kind of came together really well,” she said. “Just as I was painting it, I felt really good about it.”

Monica Reichl named Arts Council Menifee’s November Artist of the Month MENIFEE – Monica Reichl is a high school theater teacher by day and a stage actress by weekend, summer and every other chance she gets. Her expertise and enthusiasm for theater is what led to her being honored as Arts Council Menifee’s November Artist of the Month.

“I think organizations that promote the arts are vital,” Reichl, who joined the ACM board a couple of years ago, said. “People still view the arts as something to do for fun and something for children to do, but once adulthood comes along, there is the expectation that they are not needed anymore, or if they are needed, it is something you go to enjoy but not something you do.

There is the lack of practicality associated with the arts.”

Reichl is firm in her belief that outside of the entertainment aspect, there are practical skills that come from the arts and from theater in particular.

“The ability to think creatively, problem solve, empathy, the ability to control emotions as well as have access to emotions, to read people, to analyze text, to read better, to read more lively bedtime stories to your children, to learn to build things, to learn to paint things, to understand design and layout from a basic remodel to interior design, organization, management of people, collaboration – all vital life skills,” she said.

A Menifee resident for the past 16 years, Reichl has taught acting, costume, makeup and film studies at Hemet’s Tahquitz High School since it opened 11 years ago. She also directs the school’s plays.

“I love sharing my love for the stage with them and seeing them fall in love with it,” she said.

She said it can be challenging at times, making the students understand that acting is about more than just learning and saying lines. She stresses the importance of rehearsals so that everything – from actors to props – appears authentic, not rehearsed.

“I try to teach them that whether they walk on and say nothing or just one word or they are the lead, they have the power to make or break the production,” she said. “It isn’t enough to know what to do, you have to take it apart, analyze it and chop it up into bite-sized pieces so you can communicate what is needed for the students to digest. There’s a lot to think about onstage, and I slowly try to get them to think less and less and be more and more.”

Reichl said the most important

lesson students can learn is how to listen to the director who is trying to make them a better actor and to the characters they are conversing with in the play.

“It isn’t about your own agenda, it is a team sport,” she said. “As an actress, I may think I did something that totally rocked, but the director tells me otherwise. I have to trust that independent eye out there to tell me that it didn’t work. I have to listen to the characters around me, not think about my next line, or the dialogue will sound rehearsed instead of like we’re having this conversation for the first time.”

As a teacher, she is rewarded by knowing she has given students a place where they feel at home.

“The arts embrace all types of personalities and high school is socially such a challenge, as well as academically, so whether in a class or in the after-school play, they find a refuge,” Reichl said. “I have had several students go on to professional training, continue to act and that, of course, makes me extremely proud.”

Reichl also taught theater classes for seven years at Mt. San Jacinto College’s San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses and has made her mark in local theater.

“Actually, I love just being a cast member. I get asked when I’ll direct something in the community, and I tell them that directing is my job and I love to do it, but when I get to go out and play with the grown-ups, I just want to act. It’s my first love, and I don’t want the responsibility and stress of sets, props, lighting, sound, etc. As the late, great Marian Carter used to say, ‘I just want to learn my lines and not run into the furniture,’” Reichl said.

Reichl may be familiar to fans of “Ramona,” the outdoor play that is staged every spring in Hemet. She was cast in the title role four times and has played Aunt Ri in the pageant for three years.

“I have always felt so enormously grateful to the pageant family because I moved here knowing only about two or three people, but I started going to rehearsals and found myself suddenly with 300 new friends. Everyone should be welcome into a community that way,” she said.

Reichl grew up in the Bay Area, mostly in San Jose, and she found her calling to theater in high school.

She earned a master’s degree in theatre arts from San Francisco State University where she focused on poetry and storytelling as performance.

Actress and theater teacher Monica Reichl is Arts Council Menifee’s November Artist of the Courtesy photos Month.

Other recent stage performances have included playing Hermione in “A Winter’s Tale” and Gwendolyn in “The Importance of Being Earnest” for Shakespeare in the Vines.

Last year, she was seen as Sylvia in “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” and several years before as Olivia in “Twelfth Night.”

She has worked with many local theater companies, including Idyllwild Actors Theatre, Play With Your Food Productions, Inland Stage Company, Ramona Hillside Players, The Grove Theatre and Temecula Valley Players.

“I like shows that use humor to disarm in order to deliver a profound message,” Reichl, 44, said.

Arts Council Menifee’s November Artist of the Month Monica Reichl, left, performs as M’Lynn in “Steel Magnolias” for the Ramona Hillside Players in 2015.

“I feel very comfortable in dramatic roles, but the power of a laugh is tremendous.”

A couple of her favorite characters have been M’Lynn from “Steel Magnolias” and L’il Bit from “How I Learned to Drive.”

“Both do that disarming thing: both blend comedy and such seriousness to tell their stories,” she

said. “I love feeling the audience’s emotional experience, communicating something honest to them and transporting them; giving them the sense that they have lived through something.”

Killer Vegetable Chili

Michele Howard VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Killer Vegetable Chili Serves 10 – 2 cup portions

Finally, some cool weather has arrived to allow residents to appreciate a good home cooked batch of chili with their family and friends.

Now that I have confessed trying out the vegetarian lifestyle, I want to share my version of beef chili without the meat. I have over the years entered many chili cookoffs and won first, second and third places, plus people’s choice awards. My favorite part of the contest is making the booth presentation or theme. For the last contest, the team name was “Pilfered Pirates Chili;” it tastes better when it’s stolen! We made an​eight foot pirate ship similar to the “Black Pearl” ​w ith fire flames behind it, cannons, parrots and a treasure chest with coins for children, and we all dressed the part, ARRRgh! So mateys, enjoy this recipe with all vegetables or add your own meat with some extra sauce. Captain Sparrow would have been proud.

Michele

1 onion yellow or white, chopped 2 cups red bell pepper, chopped 2 cups celery, chopped 2 cups carrots, chopped small ​1 zucchini, chopped small 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped fine​ ​3 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped fine​ 29 ounce can of tomato sauce 14.5 ounce can of petite cut tomatoes, save juice to use later 15 ounce can of white beans, drained​ 15 ounce can of black beans, drained 15 ounce can of kidney beans, drained ​4 ounce can of fire roasted green chilies, mild or medium hot, drained 1 tablespoon garlic salt 2 tablespoons cumin, ground 1 heaping tablespoon smoked paprika 1 level tablespoon Ancho chili, ground

2 1/2 tablespoons dried Anaheim chili, ground 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped fine NOTE: This recipe is not that hot tasting, so if you prefer hotter chili flavor, add more jalapenos, smoked chipotle and ground chili powder.​ In a five-quart skillet, saute on medium-high the first five ingredients with two tablespoons olive oil or canola oil until half cooked.

Add in the jalapeno and garlic and stir well. Drain the beans and green chilies in a large strainer.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, add tomato sauce and petite cut tomatoes including the juice into the skillet and stir well. Add in all spices, chili powders and stir well.

Stir in beans and green chilies.

Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low for 45 minutes, before adding cilantro. Use a heavy duty skillet, like a Dutch oven for this part, so the bottom won’t burn.

Chili can be served with cornbread, warm tortillas, biscuits or cheesy jalapeno toast. Chili can be frozen in portions.

Valerie and Steve Andrews have a passion for winemaking born from their first experience of making wine in their own home almost 20 years ago in the Temecula Hills.

Steve Andrew’s winemaking skill continues to emerge as he attends every seminar and class offered in creating the finest wines, and the winery is gaining a collection of awards to show for it.

“Steve loves making wine. He is always looking for the news and greatest wines and taking classes,” Valerie Andrews said as she poured glasses of Oak Mountain’s favorite raspberry sparkling sauvignon to customers in the Cave cafe.

Valerie Andrews is always at the winery, offering a friendly smile and greeting and more than willing to share her winemaking expertise with visitors. Daily tours are offered of the winery and the unique 10,000-square-foot, multiroom Cave, which was built 104 feet into the mountain. It’s hard to believe just above guest’s heads are 10-acres of vines bearing the grapes used to make Oak Mountain’s many varieties of wines.

The Andrews also grow grapes on their original Temecula Hills Winery tucked in the hills behind Diamond Valley Lake. Their 24 employees including a new hire direct from France skilled in vine pruning and irrigation that will improve the crops even more, Valerie Andrews said. The Oak Mountain staff also manages 10 other vineyards on De Portola Wine Trail.

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season Oak Mountain Chef Jeremy Delgadillo, who has worked with the winery for 15 years, has prepared a new menu, including his newest creation the “Bison Burger” with white cabernet sauvignon smothered onions, Delgadillo’s secret sauce and applewood smoked bacon served on a Bavarian pretzel bun. It is delectable paired with a fine Oak Mountain 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon red or 2014 Reserve Syrah.

Then for the tender palate, Delgadillo’s new “Meatloaf Burger” with crispy onion straws, applewood smoked bacon, smoked mozzarella and house barbecue sauce served on a light buttered brioche bun. There is the popular Cave club burger, sandwiches, appetizers, flatbreads, soups and salads and many other items on daily menu. Not forgetting desserts, the menu includes mouthwatering Oak Mountain sweets, the seasonal pumpkin spiced bread pudding and the cool classic Italian treat,

Oak Mountain Winery co-owner Valerie Andrews shows a bottle of Oak Mountain’s exclusive “Cotas Kisses” sauvignon that is sold at the animal-friendly Temecula winery. Customer Carson Fonseca from Long Beach holds Kali, his pug, who is more interested in the camera than the wine. Proceeds from the special wine offering go to animal sanctuaries.

Oak Mountain winery stores 30 different varietal wines in the 100-foot long Cave storage tunnel, resting in the perfect 64 to 68 degree temperatures year around.

Recently, Oak Mountain has won state fair awards for its Brut, Cinful and Mango Sparkling wines.

The Cave Cabernet Sauvignon is an international gold medal winner. Wine costs are reasonable, $19 to $45 for bottles of sparkling, white and red wines and for Oak Mountain Reserve and premium wines $75 to $100 a bottle. Oak Mountain Wine Club memberships bring 20 to 30 percent savings on wine purchases.

was named Editor’s Choice by Wine Enthusiast.

For a food pairing, consider herbcrusted prime rib with a syrah and garlic compound butter. This wine is $85 a bottle.

For dessert, consider the 2013 Leoness Cinsaut Port-style Dessert Wine.

From the Tucalota Vineyard and aged in 100 percent French oak barrels, the vintage port-style wine is fortified to just over 18 percent alcohol, with fermentation stopping at about 11 percent residual sugar. It has a beautifully dark ruby color, with raspberry fruit and hints of caramel and chocolate, soft tannins and a rich lingering finish.

It pairs well with flourless chocolate cake with fresh raspberries. It is $59 a bottle.

Though Temecula Valley wines can be ordered through the wineries’ online stores and shipped to most states, what better excuse to visit the destination and try the wines onsite.

Temecula Valley is conveniently located in the center of Southern California, just an hour drive from San Diego, Palm Springs and Orange County and 90 minutes from Los Angeles. Many winery restaurants offer special holiday dining menus that pair wonderfully with their holiday wines. Resort, hotel, bed and breakfast inns and vacation rentals offer special packages and pricing for Sunday through Thursday stays.

Temecula’s Economic Development Department awards three real estate brokers at fifth annual Temecula Brokers Breakfast Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The city of Temecula’s Economic Development Department held its fifth annual appreciation breakfast for commercial real estate brokers, Nov. 2, at the Temecula Civic Center. Mary Piper, Sherry Shoemaker and Carey Pastor were recognized for their outstanding contributions in the industry.

Christine Damko, economic development analyst for Temecula, gave a brief city update, before honoring the award recipients.

The city population is 111,024 with a median age of 35. Average household income is $97,573 and the media home sales price in September was $470,000. The unemployment rate is 4.1 percent with 52,999 jobs in Temecula.

Fiscal year 2017-2018 revenues are projected at $76 million with 49 percent coming from sales taxes.

Automotive and transportation account for 26 percent of the revenues; consumer goods account for another 23 percent.

Expenditures are projected at $73 million with 55 percent slated for public safety, police and fire; 18 percent set for public works.

The city is reinvesting in the community with $393 million budgeted for 64 capital improvement projects.

The resident-approved Measure S, which raised sales tax by 1 percent, has enabled the hiring of 10 new police officers, eight new fire personnel, two fire prevention personnel and the opening of the Roripaugh Ranch Fire Station, coming in January 2018. Funds are also being used for road repaving projects throughout the city, with $1 million allocated to the design of a new public parking garage in Old Town and $100,000 toward the design of Interstate 15 beautification plan.

The $50 million Temecula Parkway Interchange is scheduled for completion in December 2018. The construction on Butterfield Stage Road to improve it to two lanes plus bike lanes on each side from Rancho California to La Serena will start summer 2018.

The Overland Drive to Diaz extension will be accomplished in two phases: extend the road, which is the Commerce Center Extension, and build the Murrieta Creek Bridge.

Temecula’s job market is healthy with only a 4.1 percent unemployment rate and the highest job count in history. Thirteen percent of the 53,000 jobs are in manufacturing/ distribution; 11.9 percent are professional and 16.6 percent are in education. Emerging sectors include life science, biotech and technology.

Retail sales place Temecula in the top 6 percent of the state; the shop-

ping district centered around the Promenade Mall comprises 44 percent of sales tax revenues. Temecula Parkway is proving a popular retail location with 1.6 million square feet of retail, over 300 tenants and five grocery stores. Old Town is emerging as a “foodie” haven and night life entertainment hub.

Some new retailers include ALDI, DSW, Jared, Total Wine & More, Barrel Republic, Raising Cane’s, CycleBar, Cafe Rio and Airstream.

The new Hoehn Audi dealership is open, Temecula Valley Toyota is the fastest growing Toyota dealership in the USA, and Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac has once again been named a “Top Dealer” out of 4,500 Chevrolet dealers in the USA. Tourism in the Valley attracted 2.7 million visitors and generated $712 million.

Breweries are a growing industry with the opening of Wiens Brewing, Garage Brewing and Aftershock, among others.

There are over 7,000 proposed new hotel rooms; half are in uptown Temecula on Jefferson Avenue, including Hyatt House, Home2 Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Comfort Suites and Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn. Altair, a master planned community for Old Town Temecula is a 270-acre project with an estimated 1,500 homes. Solaire is building 140 market-rate, luxury Old Town apartments at the end of Pujol Street.

A number of projects are underway or proposed to double senior living and assisted care housing.

Residential development includes 245 duplex and triplex homes at Cypress Ridge on Pechanga Parkway and Loma Linda Road; another 174 single family homes are proposed at the northwest corner of Temecula Parkway and Butterfield Stage Road.

Temecula Village on Rancho California Road will feature a 65,000 square-foot retail center with 160 apartments behind.

Next, Damko presented awards to the three commercial broker professionals for their outstanding contributions.

Piper has 38 years’ experience and is a senior vice president at Lee & Associates, specializing in office and investment sales. She joined the company in March 2000.

“I’ll take the wine!” Piper said.

Shoemaker, also a vice president with Lee & Associates, is a third generation native of the Valley.

“I have seen a lot of changes,” Shoemaker s aid. “What the city has done is remarkable. It’s a great city to work with.”

Pastor is a senior vice president at Coldwell Banker Commercial, specializing in the acquisition and disposition of industrial, office and

“I am also a native of the Valley – Hemet – but to get anywhere, we had to go through Temecula,” Pastor said. “It’s amazing to see the growth and amazing to be a part of it.”

Why being ‘priced right’ is the No. 1 factor when selling a home Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Everyone has heard the three most important factors in real estate are “Location, Location, Location,” right? I don’t agree exactly, and I’d like to share my reasons.

Yes, homes for sale in the Temecula and Murrieta valley have one great thing in common: location. However, there is so much more to successfully selling a home in today’s market.

The truth is there are three dynamics that are important – location, condition and price. Of the three, price is the ultimate trump card. Almost all buyers determine their price bracket first, before shopping for the best value within that bracket.

The value of a home is certainly influenced by its location.

Build identical homes with iden-

tical features in Wine Country and another one French Valley, and the Wine Country home will certainly be worth more, simply because Wine Country is a more desirable area.

Location only affects the value of a home. Price is what sells the home.

It doesn’t matter if a home sits on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, high up in a pristine mountain resort or in the penthouse of a prestigious downtown building, it just won’t sell if it’s not priced right.

There is a buyer for every home. Sometimes it’s difficult to say just what will be the motivating factor as to why a particular buyer buys a particular home. A home in a “good location” will always sell for a fair price. The same reasoning goes for a home in a “bad location,” it will also sell for a fair price, but it just won’t be as high as the same home in a “good location.”

The same can be said for a

home in “good condition;” it will sell for a fair price, and a home in “poor condition” will also sell for a fair price; it just won’t be as high as the home in a better condition.

Price remains the trump card.

Neither location nor condition will sell a house if it is not priced correctly.

Don’t be that seller looking for that “one buyer” to truly appreciate the house, its sense of style, the current choices of appliances, carpet or one-of-kind bathroom fixtures.

If a home has been on the market for an extended time, provided the home’s conditions have been managed well and it’s been easily available for showings, chances are the home is no longer priced right. Listen to the real estate agent. If a home seller doesn’t have one, they should get one. Don’t let the home just sit there week after week. It will come to a point where buyers will start to avoid the home, thinking

something is wrong with it.

When showings stop, don’t blame the real estate agent. When people view a home and no offers come in, chances are a change is needed. Have the market conditions changed? Get input from a real estate agent. After all, the real estate agent works for the seller.

In addition, keep in mind the market will dictate the price not the seller and not the agent.

Knowing the competition is critical to effectively pricing a home.

The agent should be able to show sellers on paper where the home stacks up to the competition.

However, not everyone really gets it by looking at values on a spreadsheet. If this scenario sounds familiar, then consider taking a tour of the neighborhood homes with the real estate agent and preview each comparative home on the market.

Once the seller has a chance to see what money will buy in the current market, it should be

simpler to have a better idea of where the home should be priced.

Trust the agent’s pricing strategy, but don’t be afraid to ask questions. Realtors are immersed in the local market. They have a thorough understanding of what buyers will pay for a home and want to work with sellers to price it to sell for the highest price in the shortest amount of time.

Don’t make the mistake of overpricing a home. Remember, it’s not just location and condition; it’s being “priced right” that will sell a home.

Eastern Municipal Water District begins construction on Quail Valley Sewer Project cant lots on the southern end of the community. Future phases will be dependent on additional grant funding opportunities.

“This is a milestone achievement for the Quail Valley community,” EMWD Vice President Ron Sullivan, who represents the area, said.

“EMWD and many others have worked for more than a generation to present our case, emphasizing the need for a sewer system and to secure funding from state agencies for the project to move forward without placing the burden on ratepayers in the community.”

PERRIS – Eastern Municipal Water District and its community partners celebrated the groundbreaking of the Quail Valley Sewer Project, Nov. 2. The project will bring environmentally safe wastewater infrastructure to more than 200 properties in the rural enclave of Menifee.

EMWD and other organizations have worked for nearly three decades to advance the grant-funded project to provide a sewer system to the Quail Valley community.

The first phase will provide sewer service to 150 homes and 66 vaLIC #3

Earlier this year, the water district finalized an agreement with the state Water Resources Control Board, which is providing $8 million toward the cost of the project.

The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority previously provided $1.93 million in grant funding, and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board provided $455,814 in Supplemental Environmental Protection funds.

The region is currently served by septic systems – many of which are failing and resulting in raw sewage discharging into local ground and surface waters. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board in 2006 imposed a septic systems moratorium in the area, and the county of Riverside imposed a prohibition on new septic tank installations.

Once a rural enclave with properties that often served as vacation homes, the septic systems in the Quail Valley community were not constructed with everyday use in mind. As the area grew and homes became occupied year-round, the septic systems were unable to keep up with increased usage and began to fail.

Now considered an economically disadvantaged area, EMWD has for many years coordinated with several community groups, including the Quail Valley Environmental Coalition, to work on behalf of residents to secure grant funding from the state. The median household income in the Quail Valley community ultimately became a primary factor in EMWD obtaining grant funding.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held in EMWD’s board room because the community is already an active construction site and included comments from Menifee Mayor Pro Tem Matt Liesemeyer, Riverside County Supervisor Marion Ashley and Quail Valley Environmental Coalition Chair Janet Anderson.

The construction of the sewer system will include a mainline system in the public right of way and lateral connections to 150 existing homes and 66 undeveloped parcels.

Contractors will abandon the existing septic systems and connect the laterals to the properties on the developed parcels. The new sewer system will connect via gravity flow to a regional lift station that is

being constructed by EMWD and funded in-part by the developers of the Audie Murphy Ranch development in Menifee, who will utilize the lift station.

“This project will enable the Quail Valley community to take a significant step toward its future,” Sullivan said. “Because of the failing septic systems, the region has sustained environmental damage and has been unable to accommodate any future new growth.

This sewer system will serve as the answer to both of those issues that have hamstrung the community for far too long.”

Eastern Municipal Water District is the water, wastewater service and recycled water provider to approximately 804,000 people living and working within a 555-square mile service area in western Riverside County. It is California’s sixthlargest retail water agency, and its mission is “to deliver value to our customers and the communities we serve by providing safe, reliable, economical and environmentally sustainable water, wastewater and recycled water services.” More information can be found at www. emwd.org.

Dudek to study Rainbow Municipal Water District groundwater recovery potential Joe Naiman JANAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Dudek will be studying the possibility of the Rainbow Municipal Water District obtaining some of its water supply from the Bonsall Groundwater Basin of the San Luis Rey River.

The board voted 5-0 to approve a $572,903 contract with Dudek, Oct. 24, to provide engineering services for studies which would bring a Bonsall Groundwater Basin desalter project closer to implementation.

“This project is to evaluate what water rights we have in the Bonsall basin and the feasibility of extracting that,” Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy said.

Rainbow, which currently has ap-

proximately 7,800 meter accounts, has no groundwater supply at this time and purchases the entirety of the district’s supply from the San Diego County Water Authority. The SDCWA purchases much of its water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, so Rainbow’s supply rates are vulnerable to increases in MWD and SDCWA rates.

The district is currently in the feasibility and planning stages of a brackish groundwater desalination project which would provide a local supply and decrease Rainbow’s dependence on imported water.

“This is a long-term project,” Kennedy said. “We’ve been working on this for a number of years.”

In August, the Rainbow board approved a grant application to the state

Department of Water Resources for funding to offset the cost of a feasibility study for brackish groundwater desalination.

Rainbow staff completed a technical memorandum in May 2017 which compared a baseline groundwater extraction and desalination project with three indirect potable reuse alternatives. The technical memorandum recommended that the baseline groundwater desalination project should be implemented and that the indirect potable reuse alternatives should be considered for possible implementation in the future.

The technical memorandum also recommended subsequent actions to advance the implementation of brackish groundwater desalination.

District staff then prepared a

request for proposals to update and validate the 2016 groundwater model, calibrate that model, use the model to verify production well yields in the Bonsall basin, conform imported return flow water rights and regulatory structures, collect groundwater quality data, undertake exploratory borings for production well sites, assist the district with property acquisition and with contracts and agreements and revise and refine the desalter project alternatives and the costs including brine disposal options.

The request for proposals was issued July 25. Dudek was the only firm which responded by the deadline, Aug. 30. The proposal and Dudek’s past work were evaluated, and it was determined that

Dudek had the necessary expertise in groundwater modeling, water rights, water quality, borings and well construction, pump testing of wells, desalination plant planning, siting, alternatives, costs and brine management. The district staff evaluation also determined that Dudek’s past performance made the company qualified to undertake the studies for the Bonsall Groundwater Basin desalter project.

The total estimated cost for the project is $602,903, which includes $30,000 for project management and administration to be conducted by Rainbow staff. Rainbow may also refine the scope of the project if the district’s needs are better served by such changes.

Volunteers built Rainbow’s Grange hall Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Rainbow’s Grange hall is one of two Grange halls remaining in San Diego County, and Rainbow Valley Grange is the only active Grange chapter still in the county.

Bill Hitt, who is now 93, has been a permanent resident of Rainbow since 1946, and his family purchased property in Rainbow in 1929. Hitt was part of the effort to build Rainbow’s Grange hall in 1947.

“That was a long time ago,” Hitt said. “I helped. I was one of the many volunteers. It was all done by volunteers. The only thing we didn’t do was the main truss in the center of the building.”

Sawday Engineering, which was located at Main Avenue and Clemmens Lane, was responsible for that part of the construction.

Rainbow’s Grange chapter was chartered in 1940 and originally met in Rainbow’s schoolhouse. The women involved in the Grange began an effort to provide the Grange with its own building. The fundraisers included rummage sales and dinners, and those continued after the Grange hall was built.

“They had already started a little fund trying to raise money for a Grange hall,” Hitt said.

Matt and Phina Cockerline owned a 20-acre ranch in Rainbow, and in 1920, the county of San Diego purchased the southeast portion of the

property to assist with construction of the road which would become State Route 395. Matt Cockerline subsequently sold the area adjacent to the highway right of way to his brother-in-law with the exception of two lots at the north corner.

Cockerline and his brother-in-law guessed the measurements rather than relying on a survey.

“They didn’t do their measurements right,” Hitt said. “They measured too far back.”

Hitt’s parents were friends of Matt and Phina Cockerline and purchased 2 1/2 adjacent acres at the southwest corner of the Cockerline property.

The Hitt property faced Huffstatler Street. The house was built in 1930 although the Hitt family moved for work opportunities during the Depression and did not live on that property until 1945, when Bill Hitt was in the Coast Guard.

“I used to walk across the field from my folks’ place to the Grange,” Hitt said.

The Cockerlines raised muscat grapes, concord grapes and lemons.

“Good grapes, but there was no market for them,” Hitt said.

The property had three or four wells, and when the drought of the 1940s reduced the available water, the Cockerlines could keep their vines alive but could not nurture them to allow for productive quantities. When the Cockerlines decided to retire the ranch was legally surveyed. The earlier measurement guess left a panhandle between the

ranch and the two lots; the sliver extended to the north property line.

The night after the Cockerlines discovered that they would still own the two noncontiguous lots after they sold their ranch, they visited Hitt’s parents. The Cockerlines were originally from eastern Washington and recognized the value of a town hall to a community. Most communities in eastern Washington had town halls, and the Cockerlines believed Rainbow should also have one.

Matt and Phina Cockerline were Rosicrucians, not Grange members, but they asked Hitt about the concept of a Grange hall. Their idea was that the hall would be a community or town hall.

Hitt informed the Cockerlines that the women members had a “Grange Hall” fund and that the Grange would likely be interested in one of the few small parcels in Rainbow. Hitt also referred the Cockerlines to Grange leader Ronald Blankenship to help facilitate the transaction.

The Cockerlines and the Grange agreed upon the transaction which included a stipulation that if the Grange ever gave up its charter the property would transfer to another local organization or agency, although that condition was not included in the formal deed.

The Grange members made plans for a building approximately 30 feet by 36 feet along with a list of necessary materials. Other than the central roof truss, the project was to be built completely by volunteers.

“We never had any prints on that building,” Hitt said.

County staff members provided instructions to the Grange volunteers.

“They never did come up and inspect the building,” Hitt said.

“We were too far out for the county to care.”

The Grange volunteers began spending the money already raised.

“We started using that to buy material,” Hitt said.

Lumber and cement were purchased at Temecula Lumber and hauled by members. Good lumber cost $350 per thousand and cement cost 75 cents per sack.

Some of the material was obtained more conveniently. The Vail Company owned most of the land by the junction of U.S. Highway 395 and Pala Temecula Road. The property included a dry wash. The sand was bank-run and contained assorted stones but was considered good quality concrete sand. The sand pit was not fenced and the Vail Company allowed the collection of sand. Hugh Parshall had a pickup truck which could haul five or six five-gallon buckets of sand when the

back seat was removed. Sand from that wash was also transported to the Grange site in Hitt’s Chevrolet.

“We were going to mix our own, but one of our members had a concrete mixer,” Hitt said.

Hitt and his father made and cured the bricks.

“It takes a long time to make them,” Hitt said. “We could make 50 at a time.”

The volunteers included Blankenship, Parshall, Don Baldwin, Frank Barnum, Harry Emery, John Goodman, Ellis Grover, Raymond Jack, Herbert Jago, Clarence Mitchell, Ralph Noble, Dick Rafter, Rowland Schultz, Charlie Stubblefield and Warren Troupe. Baldwin was professionally a carpenter. The volunteers worked on the Grange hall mostly on weekends.

“We started the foundation and the floor,” Hitt said, noting the volunteers put in the floor and concrete walls. “That’s the way we worked.

The side walls and the rear walls were all framed.”

The ends, which had formerly been Camp Pendleton barracks, were added to the building in the early 1950s. The barracks were disassembled, brought back to Rainbow in panels and assembled on the site. One of those barracks is now the end on the north side and the other is on the south side.

After the building was laid out, a well digging crew began work.

Goodman was professionally a well digger and led the effort to drill a well on the site.

“We all helped,” Hitt said.

of Southern California was building the San Diego Aqueduct, and the Department of the Navy was building a barrel of the aqueduct to serve Camp Pendleton. A portion of that barrel is in Rainbow and was part of Hitt’s survey duties. Hitt obtained equipment as needed for the construction of the Grange well.

“We had running water from our own well,” Hitt said. “We had electricity by then, too.”

The construction of the Grange hall also included a gas furnace, and the original building had restrooms on the north end and the kitchen on the south end.

“We didn’t have electricity until they started to build a kitchen,” Hitt said.

The Grange Hall was completed in late summer in 1948.

“It took us over a year to build the thing,” said Hitt.

Jack was a retired Coast Guard captain. During World War II, he was the captain of the Port of New York, and Hitt was stationed at the Los Angeles port captain’s unit.

“We made a good team,” Hitt said.

Jack and Hitt put in rock for the leach field and also helped put in pipe. The leach line is about 120 feet long and extends almost to the end of the property.

“We overbuilt that,” Hitt said.

“I don’t think they’ve ever had a problem with that.”

The dedication of the hall took place Dec. 19, 1948. The Grange state master traveled from Sacramento to Rainbow for the ceremony.

What kind of real estate investor are you: active or passive?

Active investors are generally entrepreneurs or business owners.

They like control of their professional lives and investment lives.

They are accustomed to risk.

Passive investors usually fit one of two types – inherited wealth or professionals working in a large firm environment. The passive investor prefers security over risk, and they achieve this security through diversified portfolios usually managed by investment firms.

Included in both categories are a number of styles. Here are some of the most common styles to consider.

First, consider the busy investor.

They are obsessed with the market, spending great amounts of time and energy following the ups and downs and watching what others are doing. They are not the leaders of the market; a type of this style was the day traders from a few years back. They are willing to take a chance on the market.

Next is the casual investor. They are the exact opposite of the busy investor. They prefer safe investments, place their trust in their financial advisors and like investments similar to those they have done previously. The belief is that everything will work out in the end and besides there are better things to do than worry about investing.

The cautious investor is risk adverse, highly security minded and afraid of making mistakes. Often the fear of making a decision makes no decision at all. Generally passive

or older investors are interested in safeguarding their existing assets rather than taking a growth position as they have a shorter horizon to correct any losses.

The emotional investor puts their heart into their decisions, investing in companies that make products they like or holding onto the old homestead way past its useful life.

They can be either active or passive, but they are unwilling to let go of things they like or that have sentimental value even though they may have outlived their useful value.

The informed investor stays up to date with good solid current information, using a variety of sources.

They are willing to listen to expert advice and implement it. They are involved in the management and choice of their investments and often times will spot a trend before anyone else.

Last, the technical investor spends a lot of time in front of the computer gathering data and is actively involved in their investment choices. They feel rewarded when their diligence pays off with a good investment.

How does this translate? Investors should be aware of their decision making style and work with a good broker agent, unless of course you are one. Agents should know their due diligence in real estate and how it affects the value and market of the properties they are considering personally or for clients. Know and understand your investing type and adjust it to make it work for you.

Home-buying capacity slips in Riverside County RIVERSIDE – The number of Riverside County households who are able to afford a medianpriced home fell in the third quarter of this year, in line with a statewide trend, a real estate tracking firm reported.

Roughly 38 percent of the county’s residents could qualify to buy a single-family dwelling between July 1 and Sept. 30,

down from 39 percent in the prior quarter, according to the California Association of Realtors.

CAR’s Housing Affordability Index also showed a year-overyear drop, with the number of qualifying homebuyers at 42 percent in the third quarter of 2016.

In calculating its affordability index, CAR used a 30-year fixed mortgage with a 4.16 percent an-

nual interest rate as a benchmark.

After factoring in taxes, insurance and a 20 percent down-payment, a local household would need an annual income of $78,070 to afford a property, making average monthly payments of $1,950, according to the association’s estimates.

In the most recent quarter, the Riverside County median home

price was $387,000, compared to $380,000 in the second quarter.

When San Bernardino County numbers are added into the mix, 43 percent of the inland region’s households are able to afford a home – unchanged from the previous quarter, CAR data showed.

Statewide, using CAR’s criteria, only 28 percent of prospective homebuyers qualified to purchase

a property at the third quarter median price of $555,680. That compared to 29 percent in the second quarter and 31 percent in the third quarter of 2016, when the median price stood at $515,940.

According to CAR, statewide housing affordability peaked at 56 percent in the first quarter of 2012.

Trial date set for man accused of killing girlfriend BANNING – A Nov. 29 trial date was confirmed Friday, Nov. 3, for a Hemet man accused of killing his girlfriend and keeping her body in his SUV until he was located by police.

Vincent James Marples, 34, was arrested in January for the alleged slaying of 32-year-old Cassandra Taylor, whose remains were located in his Ford Explorer.

During a status hearing Friday at the Banning Justice Center, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Johnson scheduled trial proceedings to begin Nov. 29 after the prosecution and defense agreed to work to clear their calendars.

It remained uncertain whether pretrial motions and related matters could be wrapped up before the Christmas break.

Marples is charged with first-

degree murder, burglary and a special circumstance allegation of inflicting torture in the commission of a murder.

The district attorney’s office has not announced whether it will seek the death penalty.

Marples is being held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to Hemet police Lt. Eddie Pust, on the afternoon of Jan. 24, officers were alerted that Marples had called a relative stating that Taylor was dead and that he was with her, without disclosing where that was.

“The caller was able to provide a vehicle description and a general area that Marples frequents,” Pust said.

A county sheriff’s helicopter crew was requested to assist patrol

No injuries in Lakeland Village house fire, authorities say LAKELAND VILLAGE – A fire damaged a Lakeland Village home, but no one was injured, authorities said Friday, Nov. 3.

The fire was reported at 11:27 p.m. Friday in the 19000 block of Grand Avenue and was put out in 40 minutes by 21 firefighters, according to April Newman of the

Riverside County Fire Department.

There was no word of displacements.

A news photographer at the scene said authorities were investigating to see whether the fire was caused by an explosion related to a drug lab.

officers in searching for the SUV, according to Pust.

Pust said that nearly two hours later, the air unit spotted the Ford Explorer on a hillside southeast of the intersection of Gibbel Road and State Street. Officers swarmed the location and took the defendant into custody without incident. Taylor’s body was found in the back

of the vehicle.

“Further investigation revealed that an altercation occurred between the two subjects, who were at the location sometime within the past 24 hours,” Pust said. “The altercation resulted in the death of Taylor.”

Investigators did not disclose the means by which she was killed.

According to court records, Marples has prior misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, driving under the influence and manufacturing an illegal firearm.

He also has several other felony cases pending in Riverside County Superior Court for alleged witness intimidation and making terrorist threats.

Teen arrested in connection with Machado Park vandalisms Alex Groves AGROVES@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Daniel Rendon, 19, was arrested Tuesday, Oct. 24, in connection with a series of vandalism incidents at Lake Elsinore’s Machado Park.

Deputies in Lake Elsinore arrested a 19-year-old suspected in a series of vandalism incidents at the city’s Machado Park over the last three months on Oct. 24, sheriff’s officials said.

Daniel Rendon was arrested in the area of Clement and Broadway streets in connection with the vandalism incidents as well as two outstanding warrants and booked at the Cois M. Byrd Detention Center, according to a Riverside County sheriff’s news release.

It did not appear from online court records that Rendon had yet been charged with vandalism as of Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Authorities said they identified Rendon as a suspect following a “lengthy investigation” by members of the Lake Elsinore station’s Problem Oriented Policing Team.

The park, located at the corner of Machado and Joy streets, has play equipment, tennis courts, restrooms, shaded shelters and parking.

Sheriff’s officials are asking anyone with information to contact investigators at (951) 245-3300.

Felon who stole from Murrieta store, swung at employee is sentenced MURRIETA – A felon who stole juice from a Murrieta store and took a swing at an employee before bolting and trying unsuccessfully to flee from police pleaded guilty Tuesday, Oct. 31, to misdemeanor charges and was immediately sentenced to five months in jail.

Roland Jade Medina, 30, of Wildomar was arrested Friday morning after committing the offenses in the 45500 block of California Oaks Road.

During his arraignment before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Mandio at the Southwest Justice Center, Medina admitted to charges of assault, theft and resisting arrest. In exchange for his Sudoku answers from page C-4

admissions, prosecutors dropped an identity theft allegation against him.

Mandio certified the terms of the plea agreement and imposed the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense.

According to Murrieta Police Lt. Mark Reid, at about 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 27, Medina went to the store and popped open a bottle of orange juice, which he proceeded to consume inside the business. An employee told the defendant he would have to pay for the product, at which point Medina tried to punch the victim and exited the location, Reid said.

Officers happened to be patrolling nearby and received word of the attack, spotting Medina moments later

as he left the store, according to the lieutenant.

He said the felon took off running as the lawmen approached, but they quickly caught up with him and took him into custody without further incident.

A search of Medina’s possessions revealed property that had been snatched from an unlocked vehicle in the area, Reid said.

The goods were returned to the car owner, and Medina was booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to court records, the defendant has prior convictions for burglary and driving under the influence.

Fire scorches building in Hemet HEMET – A fire that broke out Saturday morning scorched a 1,000-square-feet building in Hemet.

The non-injury fire was reported at 8:21 a.m., Nov. 4, in the 44200 block of Oak Glen Road located in the sparsely populated Sage community, according to Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department.

It took 22 firefighters just over 30 minutes to contain the flames, she said.

The cause of the fire was not immediately available.
