Menifee City Council censures Mayor Scott Mann following FPPC violations announcement Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Menifee City Council approved a resolution to censure Mayor Scott Mann during its Nov. 2 meeting. Councilmember John Denver abstained from the 3-0 vote which Mann had recused himself from, due to a conflict of interest. As part of the censure, Mann will no longer be allowed to serve on any city committees or regional boards and the city will no longer pay for his travel and conference expenses. The move came about following a special called meeting Oct. 19, after the news broke that Mann had a proposed settlement in place with the Enforcement Division of

the California Fair Political Practices Commission in the amount of $60,000. The settlement is for campaign violations that included misuse of nearly $45,000 in campaign funds. During the Nov. 2 meeting, Mann recused himself from the discussion and subsequent vote on the censure. Mayor Pro Tem Greg August took over the meeting from Mann who left the dais for the discussion. “We’ve been a city for eight years and I have been a council member for nearly four years now and to my knowledge, this is a first for the city,” August said. “It’s new territory for all of us. What makes

Temporary urgency ordinance on recreational marijuana passed by San Jacinto City Council

A report has just been released which identifies a foolproof 3-point plan which any homebuyer can use to secure the best financing rates when they buy a home. When you’re looking to buy a home, the first thing most homebuyers do is start the process of house hunting. However, experience proves that this is one of the last steps you should be taking if you want to get the most home for the least amount of money. In fact, shopping for the best financing should start long before you start

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A temporary urgency ordinance prohibiting all but the raising of six marijuana plants for recreational purposes in a single-family home was passed 5-0 by the San Jacinto City Council Tuesday, Nov. 1. The urgency ordinance provides the city council and staff time to amend an earlier city ordinance in regards to prohibiting certain marijuana cultivation, use, distribution and sales that was up for its second reading and possible approval Tuesday night, yet keeping with new recreational marijuana use regulations if Proposition 64 passes in the Nov. 8 general election. The city currently has an ordinance prohibiting all cultivation, delivery services and recreational retail sales outlets. If Proposition 64 (AUMA) passes in the Nov. 8 election as it is expected by experts to do so, it will legalize possession, transport, purchase, use and transfer recreational marijuana for individuals 21 year of age or older. The AUMA would supersede the city’s current complete ban unless action is taken to regulate its cultivation, use, distribution and sales outside of a private residence via permits. Under Proposition 64 cities would still permitted to regulate the drug’s use and sales outside of the home through a permit process. If that action is not taken the voter approved AUMA rules will apply when the proposition takes effect. The fact remains that under federal law marijuana’s cultivation, possession, use, distribution and sale is prohibited because it is considered as a dangerous and illegal drug, yet many states and counties have passed their own marijuana laws allowing certain recreational and medical uses with permits. The federal government has chosen to honor the state laws on the drug. In San Jacinto’s case, while the first reading to the amended city marijuana ordinances were approved on Oct. 8 several on the council were concerned about the amendments on how and where any commercial or private outdoor cultivation would be permitted, if the Proposition passed. These questions were not specifically answered in the amended marijuana ordinances. As a result, the first amended ordinance was sent back to staff and the city attorney to address that

question and return it to council before a second reading and approval is given, yet the first urgency ordinance passed temporarily heading off most AUMA rules, until the permit issue is resolved. Meanwhile the city council discussed a requested a possible one time San Jacinto Valley Cemetery District Development Fee (DIF) on new homes and Ramona Blvd. and a San Jacinto Avenue Median Improvement project. The Valley cemetery DIF was seen needed by the SJVCD because the current cemeteries residents of San Jacinto, Hemet, parts of Beaumont and unincorporated Riverside County can use is quickly running out of space for burial sites. The district says new land for expansion will soon be needed and a DIF fee of $147 was requested for each new home being built in the district. The district, since it cannot tax residents or purchase property itself, is calling on the city’s and the areas being served to collect a DIF for the purpose of buying new land for the district. A Building Industry Association representative appeared before the council to say the DIF fee should not be required for every new home in the district being built because new residents shouldn’t have to pay for the cemetery land for burials that will be needed by

all the residents, new and old, in the district. The council agreed and asked staff to sit down with the SJVCD to discuss other means of raising funds for the necessary cemetery land purchases than the proposed DIF. Andy Ramirez, city parks and streets superintendent, asked the council to appropriate $94,525 from the General Fund Reserve to rehabilitate two key medians on streets leading into the city. He said the medians on Ramona Blvd. (from State to Main Street) and San Jacinto Ave. just south of Commonwealth Ave (in front of a retail center). He said the medians have been in place for the last 10 years and need significant repair and rehabilitation. He said two landscape companies presented the lowest bids on the project were Elite Customs for Ramona Blvd. and Monarch Landscaping for San Jacinto Ave. Medians. Other bids went out but the two, that have a good record with the city, won the approval of the staff. The council questioned why the funds were not in the regular budget and had to taken from the Reserve fund, but with no other monies available for the necessary project they approved the request.

Lake Elsinore Rosetta Canyon Park holds Grand Opening festivities

Visitors to Rosetta Canyon Sports Park are welcomed with this sign Art Barela photos over the track. Lake Elsinore Community Director Johnathan Skinner, Councilman Robert Magee, Mayor Brian Tisdale, City Manager Grant Gates, Councilman Steve Manos, Councilwoman Natasha Johnson, Councilman Daryl Hickman, California Assemblywomen Melissa Melendez, Assistant City Manager Jason Simpson and Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce Chairman Chance Edmondson cut the ribbon at Lake Elsinore’s Rosetta Canyon Sports Park.

The new scoreboard at Rosetta Canyon Sports park sits just past the archway that welcomes visitors to the new Lake Elsinore park.

Art Barela VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

After several years of project planning and a busy final year filled with construction trucks, landscapers, lighting techs, paving contractors, fencing outfits and countless blisters, the new Rosetta Canyon Sports Park was finally dedicated Nov. 4 with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. Highlighting the new park is a large fivediamond baseball / softball complex that will cater to local community youth leagues, as well as regional, state and national tournament events. Construction of Phase 2 of this massive 21.6-acre park, located just east of the I-15 in the Rosetta Canyon foothills began in October 2015. The City of Lake Elsinore took the unprecedented, hands-on lead to serve as the general contractor on the project, providing a substantial

cost savings to the taxpayers. Built at a cost of just under $10 million, with no anticipated net tax burden to the community, the complex is an extraordinary testament to the hard work and dedication of local city government to complete a promise to their community. Phase 1 of the park opened in 2010 as an eight-acre parcel to serve the Rosetta Canyon residents. But the recession hit and the phase 2 plan to build a state-of-the-art sports complex on the adjacent 14-acres remained only a dream to city officials and the residents. Things turned around in October 2015 when the city council approved the project to start construction on a somewhat ambitious and accelerated schedule. The initial target was to reach the sports complex completion by late summer 2016, but a few minor construction delivery glitches

caused the schedule to push opening day back by a few months. Nonetheless, City Manager Grant Gates said that the project was “a true labor of love and pride for everyone at city hall...We particularly want to express our gratitude to Assistant City Manager Jason Simpson who had a great vision for getting this project moving again.” Phase 2 is now nearly complete, with only the outfield netting and a few application tweaks here and there, until the city is ready to schedule local youth baseball and softball leagues and reach for its long-term goals to accommodate regional, state and national tournaments. In addition to the state-of-the-art baseball and softball diamonds, Rosetta Canyon Sports Park also boasts a full size, CIF Football/Soccer field. All fields are water conservation friendly, synthetic turf with cushioned drainage systems. There is a two-story concession stand with upper deck observation for a full 360-degree view of all the fields. Beyond its custom lit entrance archway, the park provides a parking area that will accommodate up to 320 spaces. A high-tech security system throughout the facility gives local Sheriff’s a 24 monitoring, broadcast via the internet, as well as secure government access channels. The lighting system will provide monitored internet accessibility to all teams authorized to use the facility. In the final phase, due to be completed by early 2017, there will be a jogging track, a Tot Lot expansion and Dog Park to accommodate both large and small dogs. Mayor Brian Tisdale in his public address to the few hundred people in attendance who came to witness the park’s grand opening, said, “This park is now on course to serve the residents of Rosetta Canyon and to attract traveling teams to our community, who will come and stay in our hotels, eat in our restaurants and go home to tell others about what a great time they had in Lake Elsinore.” For more information about Rosetta Canyon Sports Park and other city projects, visit: www.lake-elsinore. org.

Raising approximately $12,600, The Original Christmas Tree Lane hosts their 10th annual event in the “Outlets at Lake Elsinore.” Being the recipients of the 2015 nonprofit of the year by the State of California Senate, Legislature Assembly, Riverside County, City of Wildomar and Chamber of Commerce, the special event hopes to once again capture its’ title.

A total of $109,000 from the event has provided youth leadership awards and funding for many local youth scholarships.

Local CHEFS from page A-1 as the panel consisted of Lead Judge Master Chef Ferdinand Metz, founder of the Master Chef’s Institute and former chairman of the Advisory Board for Le Cordon Bleu; Judge Coordinator Executive Chef Daragh Matheson from Temecula Valley Winery Management and six top local executive chefs. Also on the judging panel were Rosie O’Connor from Provecho Grill who won both the Pinnacle Award and the People’s Choice Award in 2015; Josh Kopelman, editor of Dining Out San Diego; and Stephanie Schulte, food editor at the Press Enterprise. The judges conducted a blind test of all 12 prepared dishes, judging composition and design as well as taste. The Pinnacle Award went to Chef Ronnel Capacia from Kelsey’s at Pechanga. He served Smoked sous vide Pork Belly Sliders with a chipotle maple soy glaze, fresh raw vegetables and light cucumber salad, barbecue beans and chicharrones. The tender pork belly was cooked sous vide and had simmered for 16 hours. Capacio was quick to credit his sous chefs Steven Agosto and Israel Hernandez for the winning effort. “We were there to have fun and honored to have been chosen to participate to help raise money for Oak Grove Center,” said Capacia, “It’s humbling and a great esteem to win the Judges’ Choice Pinnacle Award.” Chef Mandy Ramos from the Shamrock Irish Pub and Eatery took Second Place. Third Place went to Chef Teddy Johnson of Avensole Winery. It was food culinary heaven as attendees sampled and voted for their favorites. The People’s Choice Award went to Chef Leone D’Arcangelo of Fresco Wine Grill and Bar in Bonsall.

He prepared a Lobster and Roasted Garlic Ravioli layered in his secret shrimp Mare Monte sauce (a cream, marinara and brandy Portofino with button and porcini mushrooms). Chef Leone is a repeat winner, winning first place in 2013 and third place in 2014. Second Place went to Chef Wayne Quintos of the Urban Catering Company. Third Place was won by New Life Culinary. Executive Chef Steve Bearse and Chef Jeff Kirkland won the Pinnacle Award in 2014. This was the first time for two competitors. Chef Dong Ho from Bamboo House with his Budda statue and Executive Chef Matthew Steffan with Cork Fire Kitchen at Temecula Creek Inn. Steffan has only been in the valley for six weeks and brought mascot “Porter” their big blue greeter. This year’s SoCal Chef Open featured Pastry Chefs for the first time: celebrated local Chef Ziomara Hall, nationally-acclaimed Executive Chef Paul Colombo, Pechanga’s internationally-renowned Executive Pastry Chef Jean-Jacques Granet and Chef Robin McCoy of Robin’s Nest Desserts & Catering who is heading up the new Oak Grove Culinary Creations program. Chef McCoy’s first group of Oak Grove students proudly served their delicious creations at the event. Their holiday cookies will be available for purchase beginning Dec. 1, at culinarycreations@oakgrovecenter.org or by calling (951) 677-5599, ext. 2271. “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support, sharing of culinary talent and skill, fierce competition yet camaraderie by the chefs and the wisdom of the judges as well as the engagement and votes from our guests for the People’s Choice Top Chef Award,” said Oak Grove CEO Tammy Wilson, “I was so touched to

see how encouraging the sponsors and guests were to the children we had in attendance. They had no doubt it was about them, for them and loved that it included them. To have Senator Stone, Supervisor Washington, Mayor Lane and other dignitaries as well as longtime supporters and new friends present was truly an honor!” The Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment & the Arts in Murrieta, was founded in 1989 as a nonprofit residential, educational and treatment center for children suffering from physical/sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect and other traumas resulting in psychological, social, emotional, behavioral, medical/neurological and academic problems. The center currently serves 200 youth and provides support to 125 families. The date for next year’s 15th Annual Golf Classic and 10th Annual SoCal Chef Open is Sept. 11, 2017.

Menifee City Council adopts changes to financial policies Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Menifee City Council has adopted changes to its financial policies that will help curb spending. The move comes following Mayor Scott Mann’s attendance at Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Executive Seminar in State and Local Government in July which allegedly cost the city in excess of $12,000. During the Nov. 2 meeting, Mann recused himself from the discussion and subsequent vote on the modifications to the city’s finance policy regarding reimbursement of expenses for city business for elected or appointed officials. Before leaving the dais, Mann said he had objections to changing the

MANN from page A-1 this decision difficult for all of us is the FPPC announced a proposed settlement and fine before the commission’s vote to finalize the settlement on or around Dec. 15. The reason for the announcement by the FPPC was to inform the public before the Nov. 8 election, not for the purpose of the council to take disciplinary actions against one of our colleagues.” August said the FPPC is not answering questions asked by city council and that Mann has claimed attorney client privilege leaving council “to fill in the blanks.” “These two decisions make it a little difficult for councilmembers to find out and feel comfortable

city’s financial policies regarding reimbursement and that regardless of the outcome of the resolution regarding censure he had a potential financial conflict of interest. Up until now there have been six conferences or seminars for leadership to attend on an annual basis including; League of California Cities annual conference, League new councilmember I mayor conference, League legislative action day, United States Conference of Mayors, Southern California Association of Governments annual conference and the International Conference of Shopping Centers events in California and Nevada, according to City Manager Rob Johnson. “Some of the other discussions that have come up with me on

the finance policy itself are the financial limitations that if any councilmember would like to attend any other conferences other than these six they would need to come to the council for discussion and approval at a council meeting,” Johnson said. “Anything that is over zero dollars that is not listed would need to come back to council for discussion.” Councilmember Matt Liesemeyer said that he originally made the request in August and was glad to see it finally come back before council. He asked if United States Conference of Mayors benefited a city the size of Menifee and had discussed it with several people who thought it was more beneficial for cities with larger populations such as New York and Los

Angeles. “I would have to leave that with you as a policy decision,” Johnson said, adding that he couldn’t speak as to any gains the city may have had by attending the conference. Mayor Pro Tem Greg August asked both Liesemeyer and Councilwoman Lesa Sobek if they wanted to leave the annual mayors conference on the policy as is, or if they thought that if a mayor wanted to attend they would have to ask for permission. “I think that would be a good one to delete,” Sobek said. “If there was desire to attend it, it would need to come before the council in a public meeting.” Liesemeyer said he wanted to know what the cost was for the meeting.

Johnson said the cost was in the $3,500 to $4,000 range, depending on where the conference was scheduled to be held. “Personally, I am of the opinion that this may not be something that is best suited for our city,” Liesemeyer said. “There are probably events for mayors that are more localized.” Councilman John Denver asked about the conferences and trainings that require someone to stay somewhere overnight where there could be a cost associated. Johnson explained that one-day events were the responsibility of the attendee. Ultimately the council voted to approve the changes, minus the United States Conference of Mayors.

where they are,” he said adding that he did believe council had enough information to make a decision regarding the censure, despite the FPPC “putting the cart before the horse.” Councilwoman Lesa Sobek said people do make mistakes, but that as elected officials they have a responsibility to lead their lives with integrity. “I believe that integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching,” she said. “During the last couple of weeks since our last council meeting, not only the reputation of the mayor has been talked about, complained about, pointed fingers at, it’s also been pointed here at the council so all of us individually. There have been

fingers pointed at our city staff, our city hall and it’s been unfair because I believe the majority of us on the council do the right thing for the right reason.” Sobek said while the situation was unfortunate for Mann, his family and the city, council, as elected officials, have a primary responsibility to represent the city’s citizens “with honesty and integrity” and to maintain the city’s reputation. “In light of the recent violation reported by the Fair Political Practice Commission of Mr. Mann and his lack of judgement as well as breaking the city’s ethic policy which states, ‘Members shall comply with the laws of the Nation, the state of California and the city of Menifee in the performance of their public duties these laws include but are not limited to election campaigns and financial disclosures.’ From the response I have received from many of our citizens, he has created an issue of issue of trust.” Councilman John Denver said he wanted to make sure that everyone understood that the censure had absolutely nothing to do with the city’s finances. Denver added that Measure DD, the one-cent sales tax placed before voters on the November ballot, should not be part of the discussion. “It has zero to do with this.” Denver said the city would be better to wait to make its decision

once they have all the facts. “If we would just wait until the FPPC says and votes on it … I think you are stepping forward ahead of it,” he said, reminding council that Mann was elected by the city’s residents. “Let them decide if they want this mayor in the election.” City Attorney Jeffrey Melching approached the facts the city knows, including the press release issued by the FPCC, which was approved by Mann and reported the campaign violations including campaign record keeping violations. “Specific details beyond those that occur in the press release are not known and the FPPC has a policy of not discussing open cases,” he said. He added that it was not likely any more information would be known until the FPPC held its December vote on the issue. “We do however, know that Mayor Mann has repeatedly admitted to the violations.” Melching said that there was no question the violations occurred and that the city has several options, including the censure which is defined in Robert’s Rules of Order as a disciplinary procedure naming a particular member of a legislative body as an offender. “It is a public reprimand,” he said before delving into the city’s code of ethics and explaining there was no question that the council

had the power to issue a censure. “The theory there being as long as the mayor’s reputation is stigmatized by the events that the FPPC is interested in, it isn’t a good expenditure of the city’s money to send him out to those events and have him representing the city’s interest,” Melching said. Melching said so far the council’s actions on the matter and the process afforded to Mann has been fair. Liesemeyer said that he asked for support from the council back in October, but that Sobek was his only supporter. He said he wanted council’s support for the censure regarding the code of ethics violations that Mann had performed with his campaign violations. “A ‘No’ vote on this censure would signify that you condone the behavior of Scott Mann and his illegal actions,” Liesemeyer said, speaking directly to Denver. “He should not be allowed to represent this council as any typical mayor would do. I only hope that my colleagues have realized the error of their ways when they voted against me at the last meeting.” Liesemeyer said he received a call from Mann who “pleaded with me not to have this discussion tonight.” “Although he would say it is not a threat, he indicated to me that he had sought legal counsel and that he was going to file an injunction against the city of Menifee to stop us from discussing this once again,” he said. “I find it absolutely incredulous that a sitting mayor would threaten to sue his own city in an attempt to not cast more negative light on his actions.” Liesemeyer said council had to do what was right for the city. “I personally do not want him representing me as a council member,” he said. “We need to do the right thing for the public.” Sobek said that she wanted to thank everyone who spoke and that the word restore was used by two of the public speakers. “I believe that if we represent the city, we represent you. You need to have faith in us,” she said adding that she did not want to defer action on the issue. Liesemeyer said it was disingenuous when Mann said he would step down from the finance committee. “The finance committee hasn’t met in two years. It really doesn’t mean anything” he said. “Even that day he sat up here and basically lied to the public.” August said that FPPC has been working on the case for two years whereas the council only had it for a week before the October meeting. He said he felt that he needed to take his time when dealing with Mann’s career and future. “We’ve had it for three weeks now, but I didn’t want to take a formal action against him until I was sure I was doing the right thing,” he said. Denver said he understood Liesemeyer’s position and that he agreed, with one exception, what would happen when the final FPPC judgement was handed down? “He admitted to it,” Denver said. “I hear what the citizens are saying and they have more say than we do. They’re the ones who are going to vote for the mayor, not us. It’s just a matter of timing. I want you to understand I do not disagree. I don’t care what happens to me personally but this is a matter of timing for me and nothing more.” Liesemeyer said timing didn’t matter and that the city had nothing to do with the announcement. Everything that came to light was released by the FPPC with Mann’s knowledge and approval. “Bottom line, he violated the city’s ethic code plain and simple and that can’t be undone,” he said.

Murrieta Police Department will use the funding as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to keep its roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education. Chief Sean Hadden places great emphasis on traffic enforcement

and crash prevention in Murrieta. He stated, “This is a quality of life issue for our citizens and we appreciate the resources provided by the state with this grant as it will enhance our mission of partnering with our community and reducing the pain and suffering from needless traffic collisions.” After falling to a 10 year low in 2010, the number of persons killed has climbed nearly 17 percent across the state with 3,176 killed in 2015 according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Particularly alarming is

the six year rise in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities, along with the growing dangers of distracting technologies and the emergence of drug-impaired driving as a major problem. This grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as drunken driving, speeding and crashes at intersections. “Years of research tell us that enforcement and education work best jointly to combat unsafe driving,” said Office of OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “This grant brings

both tactics together, with the Office of Traffic Safety and the Murrieta Police Department working in concert to help keep the streets and highways safe across Murrieta and the state.” Activities that the grant will fund include: Educational presentations; DUI checkpoints; DUI saturation patrols; bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement; motorcycle safety enforcement; distracted driving enforcement; seat belt and child safety seat enforcement; speed, red light and stop sign enforcement; warrant service operations; targeting multiple DUI offenders Compilation of DUI “Hot Sheets,” identifying worst-of-the-worst DUI offenders; specialized DUI and

drugged driving training such as Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST); advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE); and Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE). It also will include; court “sting” operations to cite individuals driving from DUI court after ignoring their license suspension or revocation and stakeout operations to observe the “worst-of-the-worst” repeat DUI offender probationers with suspended or revoked driver’s licenses. Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Supervisors sign off on proposed L.E. land annexation RIVERSIDE – Riverside County supervisors today approved a land annexation agreement with the city of Lake Elsinore, under which the latter will take control of more than 650 acres encompassing a community known as Warm Springs. The compact was secured in a 4-0 vote – with Supervisor John Benoit absent – and remains contingent upon final approval by the Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission. Lake Elsinore sought the annexation to extend its sphere of influence over unincorporated county property in the area of Nichols Road and Collier Avenue. Virtually the entire Warm Springs community lies within the acquisition zone, requiring the county to reach terms with Elsinore officials regarding the continuation of law enforcement and fire department services for residents. The substance of the agreement is that if the city terminates its law enforcement and fire services contracts with the county in the future, the city will guarantee that Warm Springs continues to receive those services from the municipal agencies established to fill the void. Another provision of the agreement stipulates that Warm Springs residents will have the option to utilize any park or recreational site within the annexation area – at a cost equal to that borne by Elsinore residents. An outlier in the compact is the potential extension of El Toro Road to create a direct link between Temescal Canyon High School and Nichols Road. The county stipulated that Elsinore apprise the Executive Office of development plans that impact the “Bow Tie” property. The parties also established covenants related to ongoing economic development in the area. Warm Springs has been designated a “disadvantaged unincorporated community” because its median household income is less than 80 percent of the statewide median. The community is one of 40 so-called DUCs in the county.

For the first time in eight years there is a new Southwestern League football titleholder in the valley as the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks continued their league success after finishing off their historic season by beating the Murrieta Mesa Rams 56-27 Friday, Nov. 4. In what was probably the biggest Southwestern League game this decade, Murrieta Valley lived up to the hype four weeks ago after handing Vista Murrieta a huge league loss, which was the first for the Broncos in 35 games, dating to a 10-3 loss to the Nighthawks Nov. 14, 2008. During that span the Broncos have controlled ownership of the title and reached seven consecutive Southern Section CIF Championship games.

Other area title holders include Citrus Hill, Heritage and Rancho Christian. The Heritage Patriots went undefeated on the season and beat crosstown rivals Paloma Valley in the Menifee Bowl, 35-13, to claim their seventh straight Sunbelt League title. Rancho Christian, who went undefeated in league, claimed their first ever South Valley League title after beating California Military Institute 46-7 in Week Ten. Citrus Hill, last year’s reining CIF Southern Section Div. II-A Champions are now the back-to-back Mountain Pass League Champs after beating Hemet 52-13 last week. The four title holders are among 15 area teams seeded for CIF-SS football playoffs which begin Friday, Nov. 11. Heritage is one of the top-seeded teams in Division 2 where they could run into Murrieta Valley or

Great Oak. Rancho Christian (Division 13) received the No. 2 seed in their playoff division. Paloma Valley heads to Division 5 and because of their two year record and Div. 1 playoff status, Vista Murrieta remains there with the big boys. For some of the other schools in the area celebrating success, this will be Murrieta Mesa’s first ever playoff appearance in the program’s seven-year history and Perris is in the playoffs for the first time since 2002, ending the area’s longest postseason drought. One big shock was Elsinore, who did not get an at-large spot in Division 6, meaning the Tigers will miss the playoffs for the first time since 1997. Below are the rest of the firstround match-ups for all of the playoff divisions, in bracket order. Game times are scheduled for

Friday, Nov. 11, but as always, monitor those brackets closely as dates, sites and times are subject to change.

Poor insurance endangers America’s physical and financial health Kenneth E. Thorpe SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Americans earned a 5 percent pay increase last year, according to a new census bureau report. That’s the best wage gain since the Great Recession. Unfortunately, most people weren’t able to spend that extra cash on something fun, like a family vacation or new vehicle. Health insurance price hikes ate up millions of Americans’ raises. Insurers are raising rates, deductibles and copays even more this coming year. The rising costs could prevent patients from following their doctors’ treatment plans. Such non-adherence threatens their health – and the nation’s budget. To protect patients and stem the rising tide of chronic disease, insurance needs to be more affordable for everyday Americans. Chronic diseases, which range from asthma and high blood pressure to diabetes and cancer, pervade American society. Today, 190 milw w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

lion Americans live with at least one such illness. And the situation is getting worse. By 2030, 80 percent of the U.S. population will have a chronic disease. To manage such conditions, patients need health coverage that provides them with quality care. Yet insurance plans are increasingly unaffordable. Over 40 percent of people report that their premiums increased last year, according to a joint poll released by Morning Consult and my organization, the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease. In 2017, premiums for plans offered through President Barack Obama’s health care exchanges will rise by 25 percent, on average. And employer-sponsored health premiums will rise five to 6 percent, on average.

Insurers are also increasing deductibles and other cost-sharing requirements. Over half of workers with individual employersponsored health plans now face a deductible of at least $1,000. Across the nation, deductibles have gone up 63 percent since 2011, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation study. Roughly four in 10 people say their deductibles and copayments rose in the past year. Many patients can’t afford these higher costs. About 30 percent of Americans couldn’t fill a prescription or obtain a needed procedure last year because of high deductibles, copays and co-insurance. In 2014, 16 million chronic disease patients avoided seeking care for their conditions because of the cost. Failing to adhere to a doctor’s

help chronic disease patients afford a few thousand dollars in insurance payments, people are getting sicker and racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in health care expenses. Improving medication adherence for diabetes patients alone could prevent $4 billion in Medicare spending per year, according to consultancy IMS Health. Americans finally got decent raises last year. Let’s hope our leaders introduce reforms, so that people don’t continue spending more for worse coverage. Kenneth E. Thorpe is professor of health policy at Emory University and chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease.

Note: This letter to honor America’s veterans was written by Lieutenant Colonel Stephen C. Stewart, USAR, a Temecula resident who died in June 2008. It first appeared in the Pasadena Star-News on Veteran’s Day 1998.

A letter to veterans This is a love letter, a love letter to a generation. The generation that came to adulthood in the 1930s and 1940s. The generation that suffered as youngsters through the Great Depression, won World War II and built modern America. Your deeds are epic. You should be remembered this Veteran’s Day. In the air, at sea and on uncounted thousands of battlefields, you fought and defeated three of the century’s great tyrannies and consigned them to history’s hazardous waste site. The price your generation paid was horrific. Never think that it wasn’t worth it. The enemies that you confronted and clobbered killed tens of millions of innocents and, if victorious, would have killed or enslaved hundreds of millions more. Think of all the people alive today who

would never have even been born without your victory. The murder machine of our enemies had to be destroyed. You, as well as those lost in the effort, were the ones chosen by history to do it. All subsequent generations are in your debt. At home, you so out-produced America’s enemies that, by the middle of World War II, they could never equal us in the sheer quantities of airplanes, ships, field artillery or any other items needed for a successful armed force. This victory of production never could have succeeded without the wholehearted effort of the women of America. Soldiers, the scale of what you did is breathtaking. Jungle islands were transformed into airfields in hours - sometimes under enemy fire. Thousands of victory ships were built, crewed

orders can prove fatal. If heart attack patients fill some, but not all of their prescriptions, their chance of dying within the year increases by 44 percent. If they don’t fill any of their prescriptions that likelihood spikes to 80 percent. Non-adherence is financially dangerous too. Consider diabetes patients, who face over $1,900 in deductibles and copays each year, on average. If they can’t afford these insurance payments and skip some treatments, they’re likely to sustain kidney damage. Forty percent of diabetics with kidney damage ultimately endure kidney failure. To survive, those patients must rely on dialysis, which can cost up to $72,000 per year. In other words, because we as a nation can’t figure out a way to

and sailed so successfully that, by the middle of the war, American forces rarely lacked for any of the tools of war even though we were fighting thousands of miles from home. In the history of humanity, most eras and generations are lost to time and dust. Yours won’t be. Have you noticed that very few incidents of history continue to fascinate and inspire hundreds or even thousands of years after their passing? What you did and how you did it will, in the fullness of time, be in the same category as the epic of Troy and the Civil War. I have my own special heroes from the World War II generation: a man who was decorated for his courage and skill when he led his soldiers in capturing a small and well-defended German town, and

his new wife, who went about her life every second fearing the fatal telegram from the War Department “regretting to inform” her of his death. He lived, and together they built a life that contributed, in its own way, to all the good things that happened after the war. He went to medical school under the GI Bill, and has fought death and suffering ever since. She had two sons and was and remains today the essential core of the family. In a multitude of ways this couple is typical of their generation. It is my proud honor to offer my personal thanks to the representatives of the World War II generation who I’ve selected. Thank you, Mom and Dad.

Support for working families Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Working families in California face a daily struggle to make ends meet and provide their children with a home, education, food and recreational opportunities. I have championed a long list of bills to assist working families, including legislation to eliminate the sales tax for the purchase of water efficient home appliances by low income people, to expand the renter’s tax credit, and to create a property tax exemption for disabled veterans.

The earned income tax credit (EITC), which helps working families get some money back at the end of the year, was signed into law, while a bill allowing employees and employers to agree on flexible work schedules died in the Senate. Protecting children is a priority, and my very first bill that became law increased penalties on the use of government-owned technology to produce or distribute child pornography, including library computers and smart phones. I supported legislation granting lo-

cal jurisdictions more authority regarding placement of registered sex offenders in their communities, and prohibiting judges from giving students’ Social Security numbers to third parties, which happened last year. I also supported expanding services for runaway and homeless youth and legislation to enhance awareness of child abuse and human trafficking. Healthcare is another problem faced by working families struggling to keep up with premiums. I supported legislation to require health plans to cover hearing aids

for children and to increase DentiCal provider reimbursements for better access to care. To further improve patient access, I supported a bill allowing parents insured through Covered California, with children on Medi-Cal, to pay a fee to add their children to their Covered California plan. Unfortunately this bill died in the Assembly Health committee. I will continue to look out for you in Sacramento after the new session begins in January.

Local outreach ministry to hold annual Christmas party for children WILDOMAR – As part of its annual series of festive, charitable events for children, the Community Outreach Ministry will hold its 16th annual Angel Tree Christmas Party Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Elks Lodge No. 2591 in Wildomar. Approximately 200 children of incarcerated parents have been adopted and invited by invitation to attend this year’s party. Of the 200 Angel Tree boys and girls “adopted” last year, about 80 children were from nine schools in Murrieta Valley Unified School District, and 120 boys and girls were from 20 schools in the Lake Elsinore Unified School District. Community Outreach Ministry is grateful to the Elks for partnering with them on this joyous occasion. The annual Christmas party opens up a world of opportunities for the children, who will participate in live presentations by numerous area officials including Cal Fire firefighter Kevin Ferris and his team of firefighters, in addition to a holiday meal and gifts donated by local benefactors and businesses. The firefighters, who are responsible for serving the U.S. Forest Service, will

bring their Bear Creek Station’s fire truck to Murrieta. Cops for Kids’ Executive Director Dave Fontneau and the Lake Elsinore Sheriff Station Explorers will be setting up, tearing down, serving lunch and assisting with gifts. The Temecula California Highway Patrol has also been invited to participate again this year. The firefighters and officers will perform demonstrations and presentations for the children to teach safety and fire and disaster prevention skills. The children will have the opportunity to ask questions and speak directly to these men and women which has proven over the years to help build children’s self-esteem and social skills. The presentations also provide vital educational tools as seeds are planted in hopes of them becoming future explorers or seeking careers as firefighters or law enforcement officers. These role models serve as mentors, providing validation to the children as important members of society. The lessons learned during the party help empower the youths to be more resilient and to grow by feeling embraced by their

community, according to a ministry official. Inside the Elks banquet hall, every child will have a seat at the table to enjoy a hot meal catered by Steve Bearse of New Life Culinary Creations of Wildomar. Gifts of clothes and fun toys are provided by sponsors who receive the children’s wish lists on an Angel Tree tag before the party. Children of incarcerated parents have benefited for over nearly 20 years through this program, and the results have been immense. Angel Tree children become high school and college graduates, and in many cases they acquire a skill to be self-sustaining. The Community Outreach Ministry, its partners, sponsors, volunteers, media and the chambers of commerce are helping to break the cycle of incarceration through its many programs and events, giving

kids a second chance to become strong members of the community. Community Outreach Ministry would like to thank Jonay Cordeiro especially. The Wells Fargo branch manager in Lake Elsinore held a gift basket fundraiser with colleagues and donated a check for $761 to the event. The proceeds will be used toward all activities for children held by Community Outreach Ministry. Cordeiro and team have also volunteered to register children at the party. Wells Fargo’s members are happy to make a positive impact by investing in the communities where they live and work through their Community Support Campaign. For more information on how to become a partner, sponsor or volunteer, contact Community Outreach Ministry at (951) 698-7650 or email info@communityoutreachministry.org.

Felon who kidnapped child during carjacking sentenced RIVERSIDE – A felon who abducted an 8-year-old girl after stealing her mother’s pickup truck in Menifee was sentenced last week to eight years in state prison. Pedro Francisco Peralez, 59, pleaded guilty in September to carjacking and kidnapping. In ex-

change for his admissions, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office dropped a sentence-enhancing allegation against Peralez of victimizing a child under 14 years old in the commission of a felony. Superior Court Judge Helios Hernandez imposed the sentence

stipulated by the prosecution and defense Nov. 1. The mother parked her truck at the Circle K in the 28000 block of Goetz Road and was preparing to run inside the store to make a purchase when Peralez jumped in her vehicle on the afternoon of Jan. 8.

Lake Elsinore man arrested for DUI following crash LAKE ELSINORE – A 46-yearold Lake Elsinore man was arrested for DUI after a crash involving his pickup truck and a Kia minivan, authorities said Monday, Nov. 7. It happened at 4:07 p.m. Sunday at Grand Avenue and Lime Street, said Lake Elsinore police

Sgt. Brett Seckinger. Officers first found the 2008 Kia minivan with front-end damage and a 60-year-old passenger complaining of pain in her legs, Seckinger said. A 1998 Ford truck was located on Macy Street with damage to the

right rear bed portion of the truck, he said. Andres Marquna-Aranda was uninjured and arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. He was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, Seckinger said. The crash was under investigation.

the plea agreement and imposed the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense. Styers’ badly decomposed remains were located by a transportation worker July 21, 2015, along Bautista Road, about a quarter-mile west of Tripp Flats, just north of Anza. According to an arrest warrant affidavit filed by sheriff’s detectives, Falconer confided to an exgirlfriend that he had shot Styers in the forehead as the two men were conversing in the defendant’s bedroom. The affidavit provided no indication as to why the shooting happened, and prosecutors declined

to disclose a possible theory. Falconer loaded the body into his vehicle and dumped it along the forest road, wrapped in a sleeping bag and bed sheet. After speaking with two witnesses, investigators obtained a warrant for the defendant’s arrest. Sheriff’s officials said Falconer was spotted on the afternoon of July 24, 2015, driving near Stanford Street and Stetson Avenue in Hemet, where he was stopped and taken into custody without incident. Court records show the defendant has a 2011 misdemeanor conviction in Riverside County for driving under the influence.

Deputies fanned out and located the pickup abandoned at the intersection of Avenida Gaviota and Paseo Vivora. A perimeter was established, and witnesses began directing deputies toward a residential area, where Peralez had fled. He was discovered hiding behind a house and tried to run away but was quickly apprehended, according to Morovich. According to court records, the defendant has a prior conviction for burglary in Riverside County, as well as other offenses in other jurisdictions, but no details were available about those crimes.

Man who fatally shot acquaintance sentenced RIVERSIDE – A probationer who killed a Blythe man and dumped his body in the San Bernardino National Forest was sentenced today to 21 years in state prison. Craig Douglas Falconer, 34, of Hemet pleaded guilty last month to voluntary manslaughter with a sentence-enhancing gun use allegation for the death of 19-year-old Steven Wesley Styers. In exchange for his admissions, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office dropped a first-degree murder charge against Falconer. During a hearing at the Banning Justice Center, Superior Court Judge Jorge Hernandez certified

Sheriff’s Sgt. Sam Morovich said the woman attempted to pull the defendant out of the pickup, but was shoved face-first onto the blacktop. She got back to her feet as he was driving the truck out of the parking lot and pleaded with him to let her daughter out of the vehicle, but Peralez ignored her, speeding away with the terrified child in the right front passenger seat, according to Morovich. He said deputies arrived at the location moments later and discovered that the child had been turned loose two blocks away and made her way back to the Circle K, reuniting with her mother.

Vista Murrieta marching band headed to National Championships after recent success JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

After 10 years of participating in national level competitions, the Vista Murrieta Marching Band won its first Regional Championship Saturday, Oct. 30. This accomplishment places Vista Murrieta within the top one percent of the 19,000+ marching bands across the country. To compare what this means to sports, what the band just did would be like winning the state championship, but then beating all of the other state champions from all of the other states west of Texas. Though it’s hard to compare scores from one competition to the other regional’s happening across the country, it is notable to mention that in this premier event the band scored the second highest music score in the entire country this season where some of the judge’s commented that this is one of the best sounding bands in the country. The band left for Indianapolis Wednesday, Nov. 9, but their huge big-rig that sits in the Vista Murrieta High School parking lot like a giant billboard is on the road. Led by volunteer Jason Jones, as well as a commendable amount of volunteers (usually 30 or more needed to setup), the Bronco Marching band is headed to the Bands of America Grand National Championship this week. Vista Murrieta will do their very best to

become one of the only California bands to ever make finals in the national championships behind Donald Wade, the school’s first and only director.

It’s the second time in the band’s 11-year history that Vista Murrieta has made the trek to the premier event for high schools, 2008 being the first, where they finished an

impressive 17th out of 92 bands that year. They won the Espirit de Corps award given annually to the group displaying the most integrity, respect and character.

A “send-off” performance took place Saturday, Nov. 5, at the VMHS stadium where a packed stadium brought canned food donations for the local food pantry.

Tom Rudnai asked the students to take an online pledge, vowing not to text and drive and providing reasons their goals were too valuable this year to be in a car accident. In return, each student had a chance to win one of three iPads provided by the Temecula Valley Auto Mall to assist them in their studies. “It’s great when we can do something for the community that really has an impact” said Rudnai. “These kids are the future of not just Temecula, but our entire nation, so investing in them like this is so important.” Students seemed noticeably inspired as the event came to a close, and were encouraged to take the lessons learned at the conference home with them, and to lead by example in their schools.

National Merchants Association launches new chargeback control platform for its merchant members TEMECULA – National Merchants Association, a global merchant advocacy group and a leader in merchant services, recently launched its new Chargeback Control Platform. The new platform is a tool designed to intercept inbound disputes before they become chargebacks by automating the refund process and handling alerts instantaneously, effectively saving business owners money and keeping their merchant accounts in good standing. “We know how detrimental chargebacks can be for a merchant,” Heather Petersen, CEO of the National Merchants Association, said. “At NMA, we under-

stand the need to find new ways to minimize chargebacks as well as to reduce the hassle and worry that they cause business owners. Our Chargeback Control Platform helps minimize chargebacks, allowing merchants to keep more of their hard-earned money and focus on their businesses, not their chargebacks.” Launched at the association’s Fire & Ice Agent Partner Conference earlier this month, the Chargeback Control Platform not only intercepts inbound disputes, it also forecasts them. In addition, the tool also provides a copy of the chargebacks to the consumers’ banks to resolve cases on behalf of

members. Unlike other third-party chargeback management companies, National Merchants Association has direct access to incoming disputes because it hosts the merchant account, allowing the new tool to intercept through the merchant’s customer relationship management, gateway and at the processor level — something truly unique to the marketplace. Chargeback Control Platform is now available to all merchants. To become a merchant member of National Merchants Association, visit www.nationalmerchants.com/ services/.

Happy San Jacinto Habitat for Humanity homeowners first to burn mortgage papers

Habitat for Humanity President Dr. Lakshma Koka helps Blas Arteaga burn his paid off interest free mortgage papers in a public ceremony Oct. 22 during the Hemet Downtown Harvest Festival.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

It had been more than 15 years since Blas Arteaga, his family and a group of volunteers from Habitat for Humanity Hemet/San Jacinto picked up hammers and tools to begin construction on what was to be their home on San Jacinto’s Old 2nd Street. Blas, a local ranch hand and his wife Eloisa, moved in the home with daughter Maria, working hard and without fail paying the interest free mortgage payment each month until Oct. 22 when they became the first Habitat for Humanity family to have paid off the mortgage in the Valley. Celebrating the occasion the Arteaga family now including Blas, Eloisa, Maria, Luis and Clautio in front of hundreds of people gathered around at the annual Hemet Downtown Harvest Festival to ceremoniously burn the mortgage papers. Holding the papers as Blas struck a lighter to it was Dr. Lakshma Koka, president of the Habitat or Humanity Hemet/San Jacinto. The burning mortgage paper dropped to the ground until in turned to ash and blew away in the wind. “I’m very happy,” said Blas in Spanish interpreted by daughter Maria. “I am thankful and grateful. It is one last debt we have to pay.” Maria said she was very proud of her parents. “I am overwhelmed

and excited for them. My parents always work hard and have been very successful.” Members of the Habitat Board, Hemet Mayor Bonnie Wright, church members and city officials along with those witnessing the event clapped and cheered for the new official homeowners. making the home their own forever. “Congratulations to you and your family,” said Mayor Wright to the Blas. “It is a proud day for you and your family.” Many years of hard work at the ranch in Nuevo, determination and the local Habitat for Humanity made the Arteaga’s dream of homeownership come true. A dream they could not have had until they found new and caring friends from many Christian churches in the Valley and the national Habitat for Humanity program. The Arteaga’s home is not just a product of the volunteers who chipped in to help but from the sweat and hard labor put in by the family itself. The Arteagas and Habitat volunteers were not afraid to pick up hammers, saws, paintbrushes, nails and other tools and work tirelessly day after day, week after week to build the family’s dream home 15 years ago. Habitat for Humanity International, founded in 1976, is an ecumenical Christian ministry that has built 300,000 homes worldwide provid-

ing very livable economic homes for 1.5 million people. It is a sweat equity program where people in need of a home and shelter put their own labor and skills into its building. The construction money is raised through an interest free mortgage is provided with the expectation the new homeowner will pay it off in 30 years. The Arteaga’s home was paid off early, and the first to do so in the Valley. Wright invited the audience to take part in the March 4, 2017, “Run in the Valley of the Mastodons” Diamond Valley Lake Marathon fundraiser for Habitat of Humanity Hemet San Jacinto. The charity marathon in the 15th since the Hemet San Jacinto Habitat was organized. The run includes a full marathon, half-marathon, 5k Walk/run, senior walk/run, and a 1K “Kid” Walk.

VETERANS’ DAY

Murrieta’s Field of Honor reflects on local heroes

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. From military war veterans to first responders and even doctors, Murrieta celebrates them all with the ninth annual Field of Honor. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Murrieta, the event serves as a focal point for the community’s annual remembrance of the sacrifices made by brave men and women who chose to serve in the Armed Forces or in the public safety sector. The weeklong patriotic event pays honor and expresses thanks to those who have served and those who continue to serve the citizens of the United States of America. The event opened Saturday, Nov. 5, in Murrieta’s Town Square Park located on the corner of Kalmia and Jefferson and will continue through Saturday, Nov. 12. The event features over 2,000 flags flying in silent testament to personal heroes, soldiers, first responders, veterans and others, those who dedicate their lives to make ours better, according to Murrieta Rotary’s Director of Public Relations Jann Gentry. The Field of Honor played host to a number of activities throughout the week. Each year the event grows and evolves with the expansion of those activities along with the Field of Honor. One of the highlights for volunteers is the thousands of fifth-graders who come from area schools to visit the field and learn the history that goes along with it. More than 3,000 students visited the field Monday through Thursday as docents and teachers led them on tours throughout the park visiting the war memorials, the Medal of Honor recipients section, the historic flags section, Local Heroes section and new this year, the 50 state flags section. “One of the things that is growing is the kind of response we are getting and the number of people involved,” Gentry said. Gentry said the number of students who will visit the Field of Honor has more than doubled with the addition of the new students who toured the Field throughout the week. Students taking the tour are educated on the flags, the sacrifices, the history and what the field is all about. She said the group is excited to reach out to more children in their efforts to teach them about patriotism. “This is the age at which they are learning about our country and the wars and the things that make our country great,” she said. “How do you give them real life visual effects that this is what happened and this is why we are free? So having more than 3,000 students attending the Field is very exciting for us.” This year’s event opened with the inaugural “Run Forest Run” 5k which featured hundreds of runners.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation which builds specialty homes for wounded warriors. Also new this year was the Military Family Expo hosted by the Women’s Council of Realtors Riverside County. All vendors at the expo had a service or product geared to military personnel and their families. Paul Mitchell the School of Temecula conducted a Cut-a-thon where haircuts ranged from $5 to $10. About 30 student stylists were on-hand at the event. Returning this year was the Patriots Chalk Walk which was completely full, the Veterans Luncheon, and the candlelight concert featuring MVUSD Middle Schools combined choir held Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. According to Gentry, this year also had a record number of sponsors and for the first time ever featured the state flag from all 50 states. The Marine Corps Birthday celebration was held Thursday, Nov. 9, at 1 p.m. followed by the Final Salute, a flag retirement ceremony conducted by the Boy Scouts at 5 p.m. Over 500 flags that have served their country well were ceremoniously retired and give one, final salute. Friday is Veterans Day and the City of Murrieta will hold its annual parade scheduled to finish at the park amid the flags. Saturday, Nov. 12, the Patriots Ball will officially close the Field and Honor this year’s selected heroes. The semi-formal Ball features a band, dinner, dancing and auctions. The Field of Honor is open for viewing every day through Saturday from 9 a.m. to dusk. For more information on the Field of Honor and the full schedule, visit www. murrietafieldofhonor.com. The Field of Honor is a fundraiser for the Murrieta Rotary Club so the club may continue to fund student scholarships, leadership camps for students, community projects and international concerns.

Maurice Car’rie celebrates 30 years with music, fun and fabulous wine

Maurice Car’rie Vineyard & Winery has been a go to stop in the Temecula wine country for 30 years, and as a way to celebrate the three decades of accolades and accomplishments, the Van Roekel family is inviting the entire community to celebrate with its Saturday festivities, aptly named “Let’s Dance.” This is simply a single element of the Maurice Car’rie tradition of a great time with great people. “[My parents] were definitely part of the early group of wineries in the valley,” said Winery General Manager Gary Van Roekel. “There were less than 10 wineries in the 80s, and the property was priced right.” The quality of wine at Maurice Car’rie also plays an important part in the winery’s success. “We are competing on a national level. Just today our Papa’s Favorite blend won a double gold medal, and was named one of the best wines in all of Southern California. A great part of the success in what we do is our production of wines,” said Van Roekel. “We grow a lot of varietals out here. There are 50 plus wineries out here now, and my folks always took the position of the more the merrier. When people spend their day out here, they make their rounds to different wineries. It’s a real success for the wine country.”

School of Rock Music Director Pete LeClair prepares a group of young student musicians for a performance during the End of Season Showcase at Third Street Live in Old Town Temecula Jan. 17, 2016.

The Let’s Dance Saturday events are a perfect example of the unique experience to be had at the Maurice Car’rie winery. Everyone is invited to these events, and families are encouraged to spend an afternoon relaxing on the lawn, or dancing along to fantastic music. As the celebration ends, the winery will offer music, but with a unique opportunity to hear local students perform. “The Let’s Dance themed event is in celebration of our 30 years in business,” said Van Roekel. “Our last live music event is Saturday Nov. 12 from 6-9 p.m. Our featured band is Big Truth. At the 7 p.m. break, the School of Rock kids will plug-in and

play four to five songs.” During the most recent performance, 10 to 12 School of Rock students performed for excited guests. “They have great energy and did a great job rocking the guests,” said Van Roekel. “I would like to get the kids some press to promote the school. It’s so great to see these kids have a passion in life at such an early age. As parents, we strive to get our kids involved in some activity that makes them feel good about themselves.” The School of Rock has over 180 locations worldwide, and the Temecula school serves as an ambassador for its community. “Let’s face it, when one thinks of Temecula one thinks of wineries. We see partnering with the wineries and other local businesses as a symbiotic relationship on several fronts. First it presents a win-win situation in terms of marketing,” said Mark Bender, School of Rock’s music director. “But most importantly, it enables School of Rock to be the catalyst, in the kids, their families, local businesses and their patrons together in one setting, thereby ensuring all parties involved as a staple in the community.” By inviting local students to perform, Maurice Car’rie aims to give children the inspiration needed to find their passion. “As a parent, we strive to have our children find a passion in life,” said Van Roekel. “Any activity that can inspire and give kids something they can feel good about themselves is beneficial. Music can really make a difference in these young students who are fortunate to have parents that care and enroll their kids in the School of Rock programs. It was an easy decision for me to reach out to the school and give them an opportunity to show the community what they have learned. I love their excitement and energy.” Of course, guests can also enjoy music from the professional band, Big Truth, who will share the stage with the students. “We’ll have a great turnout of enthusiastic parents, grandparents and friends. We invite the community to come on out to support these talented kids and enjoy an evening of fun and great music,” said Van Roekel. According to Natasha Lefroy, School of Rock’s general manager, the best way to learn music is to play music. That’s what makes the performances at Maurice Car’rie so special. “The best way to learn music is to play music. Our performance based program takes students from the lesson room to the stage,” she said. “Programs are designed for all levels and ages. Come by for a tour of our school and get rockin’ today! Spend winter break rocking with your friends at one or all three of our week long camps the weeks of Dec. 19, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.”

TEMECULA – Shakespeare in the Vines presents “The Lion in Winter” by James Goldman Nov. 10-19, directed by Brittany Campbell. Told in “marvelously articulate language, with humor that bristles and burns” Los Angeles Times said, “The Lion in Winter” is the rare play that bursts into life on the printed page. It is Christmas of A.D. 1183, and Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine are, for once, together in the drafty castle at Chinon.

For all their regal status, they are much like any long-estranged but inseparably married couple. Henry flaunts his new mistress; Eleanor plots against him with their sons. They will do anything they can to hurt each other, and they love each other to distraction. Performances run Thursday through Sunday evenings and begin at 7 p.m. in the opulent Carol’s Restaurant at Baily Winery, 33440 La Serena Way, in Temecula. Now celebrating the final show of its eleventh season, Shakespeare

in the Vines is the premiere theatre company in Riverside County dedicated to producing the works of Shakespeare and other classics of the stage. The company strives to create experiences that reach current and future audiences through illuminating interpretations in the scenic wine country of Temecula. Tickets are available for purchase at www.shakespeareinthevines.org, or for more information, email info@shakespeareinthevines.org or call (951) 240-2565.

The Gambling Cowboy – A gourmet chophouse The Old West was never like this! Nathalie Taylor SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Fresh Scottish salmon – at a chophouse? Yes! This restaurant not only shines at steaks, but at seafood and everything else I tasted. The Ehmcke family – Bill, Nitza and Rene – invite guests to participate in their dream – the dream that was a “gamble” seven and a half years ago when they first opened The Gambling Cowboy, Chophouse and Saloon, located in Old Town Temecula. The décor has a western flair with Tiffany-style lamps complete with beaded fringe – something familiar from old TV westerns. Fringed tablecloths, high beamed ceilings and a saloon-style bar add to the western ambiance. Appetizers at the establishment are inventive and delicious. The jumbo Bacon Wrapped Scallops I sampled were golden and tender. The smoky robust flavor of the bacon was the perfect complement to the mild scallops. A creative brie and chive cream sauce, swimming with delicate snips of chive, flavored the scallops delicately. I was surprised to get such an excellent seafood appetizer at a steakhouse. Embrace your inner cowboy with a selection from the dinner menu. The Gambling Cowboy offers a va-

riety of beef entrées – filet mignon, prime top sirloin, rib-eye, prime rib and for real country flavor try the Country Fried Steak, which is slathered with homemade sausage sage gravy. On the dinner menu, the Blueberry BBQ Short Rib caught my eye. When the server placed the dish in front of me, he said with a smile, “You won’t need the steak knife.” I actually thought I might need it because the entrée was one huge short rib! I have eaten many short ribs in my life, prepared various ways, but this was one of the largest and best I have tasted. This boneless short rib was a multi-faceted delight, braised and drenched in blueberry barbeque jalapeno glaze, dotted with whole blueberries and blackberries. The jalapeno was not too hot, just sweet and flavorful. It enhanced the meaty flavor of the short rib. It was “fall-apart-tender,” and I didn’t need the steak knife – just as the server predicted. An outstanding roasted corn and gorgonzola risotto was served with the short rib. The gorgonzola had a mild taste, as opposed to others I have tried, which were more pungent. St. Louis-style Whiskey BBQ Pork Ribs in bourbon brown sugar BBQ sauce – sounds amazing doesn’t it? I didn’t get a chance

to sample this, but I am compelled to return for a taste. My husband was based in St. Louis, so I spent a great deal of time sampling that special style of ribs. Those delicious memories linger – I can’t wait to try their version! The Gambling Cowboy is a family affair with Nitza handling the books, as well as the restaurant’s décor, and her daughter, Rene, running the operation.

California Chamber Orchestra selected by National Arts Organization as recipient of recital TEMECULA – The California Chamber Orchestra is proud to announce that it has been selected as the recipient of a Partners in Performance recital for the 20172018 season. “This award presents us with tremendous opportunities,” said Greg Prudhomme, president of the California Chamber Orchestra. “The intent is to grow the local audience for classical music by helping us attract new patrons as well as new donors and sponsors. That, in turn, will help us expand not just our performances but more importantly our educational programming for local students.” Partners in Performance was founded by the world renowned violinist Midori in 2003 to stimu-

late local interest in chamber music in smaller communities that lack the financial resources of major urban centers. Other recent recipients include arts organizations in Georgia, Montana, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Alaska. “We couldn’t be more thrilled,” Dana Zimbric, artistic director and conductor for the California Chamber Orchestra, said. “Hosting this recital creates wonderful opportunities for us to expand our programming in coming years.” In selecting the California Chamber Orchestra for this honor the Partners in Performance selection committee noted that the “California Chamber Orchestra is in a unique position to provide enriching musical performances

and education opportunities to the communities of Temecula and Murrieta.” As a recipient of a Partners in Performance recital, the California Chamber Orchestra will host a performance by an internationally known artist at a local venue as part of its 2017-2018 concert season. Past recitals have featured Midori or pianist Jonathan Biss. In addition Partners in Performance will also sponsor a local performance by a musician from its Young Artist program during the 2018-2019 concert season. “We know that the first program will be a recital by Midori, Jonathan Biss or an artist of similar caliber,” Zimbric said. “We are hoping that the Young Artist performance

in the second year will feature that person as a soloist with our orchestra. The details should start coming together in the next few weeks.” Partners in Performance artists also interact with the local communities during their visits through receptions and question and answer sessions. “One of our suggestions to the Partners in Performance committee was that we arrange master classes for local musicians and students with the artists,” Zimbric said. “They’ve done that in other communities, and we look forward to making that happen here, as well.” The California Chamber Orchestra is a professional orchestra and performs as part of the Temecula Presents Classical Series. The

group also produces the Classics at The Merc recital series and conducts educational programs in Temecula and Murrieta schools. The California Chamber Orchestra kicked off its 2016-2017 season Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, with a concert honoring the 125th anniversary of the birth of composer Serge Prokofiev. The program featured Prokofiev’s beloved “Peter and the Wolf,” a story for orchestra that will be narrated by local actor John George Campbell. Tickets for upcoming shows are available at the Theater Ticket Office or at www.CalChamberOrchestra.org.

The 9th Annual Ralph Love Plein Air Invitational winners announced TEMECULA ̶ Beautiful Temecula Valley landscapes were the perfect backdrops for the 9th Annual Ralph Love Plein Air Invitational. Local artists were invited by the City of Temecula Community Services Department to spend one week painting

works of art inspired by local scenery. Twelve participating artists submitted original art works for a chance to win the 9th Annual Plein Air Competition. The pieces were judged at an artist reception Oct. 7 in the Gallery at the Merc. Esteemed judges Noreen

Ring, Fallbrook Brandon Gallery director, and Janice Cipriani-Willis, Dorland Mountain Arts Colony executive director, carefully evaluated the pieces, arranged the elegant display and selected the winners. The $500 winner for Best of Show/

City Purchase Award was Barbara Nelson. The $200 first place winner was Donald Britton, and the $100 second place award went to Jack Ragland. The $50 third place finish was awarded to Kathy Stradley. The Plein Air Exhibition will be on

display at The Gallery at The Merc from Nov. 4 through Dec. 31. Arts, Culture and Event happenings in the City of Temecula can be found at www.TemeculaCA.gov or by calling (951) 694-6480.

‘Sign of the Times: The Great American Political Poster’ on display at the Temecula Valley Museum TEMECULA – Before network news, cable and satellite TV, before relentless television commercials, before the internet and social media, how did political candidates share their message? During this presidential election season, it is only fitting

that the Temecula Valley Museum takes a look back at past elections and introduces its latest traveling exhibit, which features some of the most exciting and rarely seen political posters of the last 170 years. “Sign of the Times: The Great American Political Poster 1844-2012” opened Oct. 29 and will continue through Nov. 30. The political campaign poster had its humble beginnings in the 1840s when the new lithographic printing process was developed to satisfy a

growing demand for printed material. Hand-colored portraits of presidential and vice- presidential candidates were first printed for the 1844 race between Whig Party candidate, Henry Clay, and Democratic Party candidate, James K. Polk. Technological innovation ushered in the golden age of lithography, roughly between 1890 and 1912, which produced some of the most intricate and colorful posters in this exhibition. The counterculture revolution of the 1960s was awash

in psychedelic and anti-war posters. Hundreds of posters were created by well-known artists and illustrators. The campaign of George McGovern in 1972 was a virtual explosion of exciting political art. Through time, the American political poster has been sorely neglected as an art form despite its effectiveness in conveying the political message to millions of voters through the skillful use of visual communication. “Sign of the Times” has made every effort

to bring eye-popping political graphics to the forefront and to show the great American political poster as art. “Sign of the Times” was curated by Hal Wert, Ph.D., collector and professor of history at Kansas City Art Institute, and was organized by Exhibits USA/Mid-America Arts Alliance.

LAKE ELSINORE – The Puff Puff Pass Tour Part 2 concert, featuring Snoop Dogg, Warren G, DJ Quik, Tha Dogg Pound, Bones Thugs in Harmony, Pomona City Movement and LBC Movement, will come to Storm Stadium in Lake Elsinore Dec. 9. The first album Snoop Doggy Dogg released in 1993, “Doggystyle,” launched the start of his famous 20-year career, including 14 studio albums, countless other musical features, and an ever-growing acting career. Snoop Dogg, as he is now commonly known as, has made and maintained a career that many can only dream of. To have such a long and prosperous career, Snoop Dogg has found a way to remain relevant across generations. DJ Quik is a Compton rapper and producer who is widely known and

highly respected. He released classic albums such as, “Quik is the Name” in 1990 and “Way 2 Funky” in 1992 and solidified his place in the 90s gangster rap era of hip-hop. Having put out several other albums since then, DJ Quik has also been producing for others. Known for his unique style of production, DJ Quik has been sought out by artists such as Jay-Z, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and many more to work on their projects. This year, DJ Quik put out an EP, “Rosecrans,” in collaboration with fellow Compton rapper, Problem. Made up of rappers Daz Dillenger and Kurupt, Tha Dogg Pound is a gangster rap duo from the West Coast. They broke into hip-hop in the early 90s, while being featured on Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” in 1992 and Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle” in 1993. They released “Dogg Food” in 1995,

which topped the Billboard charts. Both Daz Dillenger and Kurupt moved on to make solo careers for themselves, but Tha Dogg Pound has since then reunited to put out albums including “Cali Iz Active” in 2006, “Dogg Chit” in 2007, “100 Wayx” in 2010, and “Doggy Bag” in 2012. Bone Thugs N Harmony is made up of five skilled emcees from Cleveland, Ohio, and is one of hip-hop’s most revered groups. Their rapid, melodic, and conscious lyrics and delivery caught the eye of the late Easy E in the mid-1990s. Signed to his Ruthless Records, Bone Thugs N Harmony released “Creepin on Ah Come Up” in 1994, and quickly rose to fame. In 1995 they produced hits “1stof the Month” and “Tha Crossroads,” which would be a dedication to Easy E who had just died. Over the years, the members Bizzy Bone, Flesh-n-Bone, Krazy Bone, Layzie Bone, and Wish Bone have gone on to pursue solo careers, but the group still comes together for shows and projects. One of the originators of the hip-hop sub genre G funk, Warren G is most well-known by the song released in 1994 called “Regulators” and featuring Nate Dogg. Warren G

Murrieta Mesa and Murrieta Rotary host free Thanksgiving dinner MURRIETA – Murrieta Mesa High School, the Interact Club and Murrieta Rotary will host their eighth annual “Share the Harvest” Thanksgiving Dinner and Fall Festival at Murrieta Mesa High School located at 24801 Monroe Avenue in Murrieta Saturday, Nov. 19, from noon until 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the community. It is an op-

portunity for people of all backgrounds and economic levels to share a great meal together, be entertained by talented student dance groups and musicians, and let their children enjoy activities, games, and crafts at our Fall Festival. Last year approximately 2,000 people were fed at the event and an additional 250 people took home complete Thanksgiving

dinner boxes. In addition, the school donated about 500 prepared meals to local entities. A traditional Thanksgiving dinner will be served with turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, drinks, and pies for dessert. In addition, a limited number of Thanksgiving meal boxes will be distributed for families to take home. There is a

limit of one per household. The school is accepting donations of canned green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, sweet potatoes, instant mashed potatoes, instant turkey stuffing, frozen pies and turkeys. All donations may be dropped off at the high school office. Last year the school donated 3,000 pounds of non-perishable food items to local food pantries and again this

year any donated food not used for the Thanksgiving meal will be donated to local food pantries. The school is also accepting cash donations.

Board accepts federal grant for sheriff’s video cam program RIVERSIDE – The Board of Supervisors authorized Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff to move ahead with plans to outfit all patrol deputies with body-worn cameras in the interest of improving “employee and citizen accountability,” during its Nov. 1 meeting. In a 4-0 vote – with Supervisor John Benoit absent – the board accepted a $577,900 U.S. Department of Justice-Bureau of Justice Assistance grant earmarked to fund the sheriff’s efforts to equip all field personnel with wearable video cameras over the next two years. The grant requires a 50 percent county match, which Sniff said has already been budgeted in the current fiscal year. “The project will expand our existing body-worn camera program, improve employee and citizen accountability and strengthen community relationships by using video to improve transparency in law enforcement encounters with the public,” according to a sheriff’s statement posted to the board’s policy agenda. An additional 1,000 patrol deputies will be provided cameras thanks to the grant award, sheriff’s officials said. In March 2015, Sniff initiated a pilot program to test the effectiveness of the cameras, deploying the shirt-

mounted devices with deputies in Jurupa Valley. He inaugurated a formal policy on the use of body cams at the beginning of this year. The Riverside Sheriffs’ Association initially challenged the field testing because there was no provision in deputies’ collective bargaining agreement with the county that specified how the cameras would be utilized and whether RSA members would have the option of not wearing them. The union later dropped its challenge after negotiators and sheriff’s executive staff reached a compromise on the conditions of department-wide use. “Due to lack of audio or video record of the majority of police and citizen encounters, the department spends a significant amount of time annually investigating citizen complaints against officers,” the agency said. “In order to save personnel time and increase accountability of both officers and citizens, the department needs to equip every uniformed patrol officer with a body-worn camera and establish policies as needed.’” The sheriff’s department acquired 165 body cams from Seattle-based Vie Vu in November 2014 at a cost of $184,000. It’s unclear whether the sheriff will continue to use that vendor for the new purchases.

pushing the limits of expectations and asking the audience to come with them as they look for and twist the meaning of the materials around them. They are asking the question: do every day materials have meaning? Dicky Bahto’s conceptual photo work uses the gallery space itself as the subject for his images. He photographs the wall of the gallery, then prints and hangs the photos on the same bit of wall where the photos were taken. He does this multiple times making a feedback portrait of the wall. Hollie Brown’s paintings are of paintings. Brown taught art to grade school children, imparting collage and drawing techniques. She then repainted her students’ collages in larger format abstract paintings. These paintings look intentional and speak the language of contemporary abstraction. Kellie Flint presents a new series of paintings made with discarded fabric and Mylar emergency blankets. Flint’s works are impermanent - an effort to attend to a sustainable process of making. Upon the end of this exhibition, the materials will be reused and ultimately donated back to their original location. Merideth Hillbrand’s work can often look nonchalant and often incorporates found objects. She uses steel poles from the hardware

store with different end caps to make forms. The varying forms of the different endcaps create the composition. Her sculptures would look at home in a construction site but can look out of place in the gallery. Ahram Park’s photographs are mysterious. His work frames a world that looks familiar but does not comply with expectations. He draws on top of the photographs but his mark making looks like it is something that was there with the first click of the shutter. His work is a window on a world that alters the view. Anna Wittenberg’s video and installation work deals with the corporeal dimension of the spectator’s experience, often marked by a wry sense of humor. Her video “Fantasy Foam” features a single shot of a foam couch being manipulated as two unidentified female voices share their ideal fantasies of relaxation. Similar to approaches used in Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response videos, the whispering voices and slowly morphing image lull the viewer to provoke a bodily engagement.

Dr. Laurence Boggeln will serve as on-site physician at Vineyard Ranch TEMECULA – According to the U.S. Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, access to health care means the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best health outcomes, which requires gaining entry into the health care system, accessing a health care location where needed services are provided and finding a health care provider with whom the patient can communicate and trust. Vineyard Ranch at Temecula Assisted Living and Memory Care is pleased to announce an association with Dr. Laurence Boggeln and his

group to provide on-site medical services to our residents. “Timely access to health care impacts the overall physical, social and mental health status, prevention of disease and disability, detection and treatment of health conditions…all of which contribute to the overall wellness of the elderly,” Boggeln said.

When should you consider suing a nursing home? Morton J. Grabel, Esq. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There are circumstances where a nursing home should be sued for a resident or patient injury. Although no one really wants to sue a nursing home, convalescent home, rest home, assisted care facility or elder care facility because it is a place of good intentions and the provider of care primarily to the elderly. However, there are times when the facilities should be held

Are Urinary Problems Interfering with the Quality of Your Life? Do you have frequent urination? Do you often wake at night to urinate? Do you have the sensation of not emptying your bladder? If so, you may be one of the millions of men suffering from a condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that causes the prostate to enlarge. Urologists at TRI VALLEY UROLOGY are conducting a research study to evaluate an investigational drug to help reduce Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms in men with BPH. Qualified participants must currently be taking tamsulosin (medication for BPH).

Basic qualifications are:

• Males, 40 years or older • Currently taking tamsulosin • In general good health

If you qualify, you may receive:

• Study related exams at no cost • Reimbursement of your study-related travel

legally responsible for their negligent, careless or abusive conduct. For example, a personal injury or medical malpractice lawsuit should be filed when there is an act of negligence, neglect, or abuse on the premises that causes injury to a resident or patient. What kind of action or failure to act should lead to the filing of a lawsuit? There are numerous accidents, willful and intentional acts, and failures to act that may leave a nursing home or other health care facility legally responsible, either based on the conduct of an employee or on a policy, procedure or on-going practice at the facility. For example, a facility could be sued for failure to keep the premises reasonably safe and free of hazards and dangers the facility and its staff are aware of and those dangers or hazards they should be aware of through proper attentiveness. These hazards include everything from preventing slip and fall accidents to preventing one resident from attacking another resident. Another example would be leaving a cleaning cart full of chemicals unlocked, uncovered or unattended for residents to either drink the chemicals, or throw the containers and chemicals at another resident. They could be sued for negligent hiring practices, negligent training of staff and negligent supervision of an employee who ends up neglecting, abusing or otherwise intentionally harming a patient. Not properly screening prospective employees who subsequently either steal from residents or commit sexual acts upon the patients and have a record of prior criminal acts elsewhere is another example of negligence. Inadequate supervision of residents who fall and injure themselves is negligence. For example, a patient is given a “Risk Assessment” during the admission process. It was determined the resident is at high risk for falls. Notwithstanding the preceding, resident is admitted, but the facility does absolutely nothing to protect the resident from falls. Resident falls and breaks their hip and arm. For failing to maintain adequate

health and safety policies including such policies as keeping clean and sanitary conditions in resident rooms and in common areas such dining halls and resident club-house areas, a facility could be sued. Also for failure to provide adequate medical treatment that meets the medical standard of care under the circumstances a facility could be sued. When the provision of sub-standard medical care causes harm to a resident, there may be a case for medical malpractice against the nursing home facility or against a medical professional who treated the resident. Regulations on the standard of care, in addition to the State of California statutory scheme, cover these issues. In addition to state laws, if a nursing home accepts Medicare, the facility must follow Federal Regulations that establish the standard of care. One of these regulations is 42 CFR sec. 483.25 (h) which provides the resident environment remains as free of accident hazards as possible and that each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents. If the nursing home fails to comply with these regulations and a resident is injured, the nursing home is liable to be sued. What must a facility do to comply with this regulation? The example facility had several residents, who had fallen many times. One resident had Parkinson’s disease, long-term memory deficits, anxiety, periods of altered perception and restlessness. The facility had implemented several interventions including a low bed with mats, a body alarm, adjustment of medications, a lap buddy in his wheelchair, providing therapy to assist in sitting in the wheelchair, use of a Geriatric chair, walking with assistance of a therapist, toileting the resident on regular intervals, and placing the resident near the nurses’ workstation. But the resident continued to fall. The court ruled that all these implementations were not enough and that the facility should provide continuous supervision when the resident was out of bed. The judge found that leaving the resident unwatched, for even a short time, was an invitation for the resident to fall. In more simple terms, a facility should not admit residents if they cannot protect them. Other residents fell because they disabled wheelchair alarms, body alarms were not working, would not use a walker, etc. The court found that more supervision must be afforded these residents and that the facility violated the regulation which caused the residents to sustain serious injuries. However, proving liability can be complicated. When a resident is injured at a care facility, it is not always obvious what exactly went wrong, and who might be legally responsible. The evidence available is often incomplete and medical records may be self-serving for the nursing home. For example when medical record pages have disappeared and have reappeared re-numbered or being re-written, the facility tries to camouflage negligent conduct or overt abuse. In these cases, the best first step would be discussing the situation with an experienced attorney. Please note that the information provided above is general and should not be relied upon for particular circumstances or cases.

Sometimes school complaints shouldn’t be ignored American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Most children will occasionally complain about school. Every student has days when things don’t go quite right. But when complaints are frequent, and more than just the “I don’t like school” or “Math is too hard” variety, it may be time to listen more carefully. There are a number of ways in which a child may be trying to express deeper problems and that they need some help. Children find it hard to say “I’m confused,” or “I feel inadequate.” Preteens and teenagers especially may have trouble admitting that they’re struggling. Instead of saying, “I need help with my schoolwork,” they say, “I hate school” or “My teacher is out to get me.” These comments, when frequent and when combined with other behaviors, are often an indicator that serious school-related problems may exist. Such behaviors may be your child’s way of being reluctant to discuss school and suddenly exhibiting a lack of motivation or confidence. They may be angry and hostile in regard to homework and studying, or very defensive or afraid in regard to criticism. A child may start to be withdrawn, avoiding any school-

related questions and perhaps act self-condemning by saying things like “I’m stupid” or “I just can’t do it.” When these signs are combined with declining or failing grades, it’s a red flag that prompt action is needed. Ignoring the problem can affect a child’s total wellbeing as self-esteem declines, and negative behaviors may begin to increase. The first step is to let the child know you understand and empathize with the difficulties being faced. Try talking about your own school struggles, offering academic assistance and complimenting cooperation and progress in order to rebuild confidence. If you find you can’t effectively assist with homework or studying, and many parents can’t, consider a qualified tutor to help overcome the academic problems. Also, talk with your child’s school counselor. They will have seen similar situations before and will have the training and experience to offer assistance on how best to help your child. They may even have alternative explanations, from the school’s perspective, on why your child is struggling. School can and should be a positive and enjoyable experience for your student. Being alert for when a child is asking for help, even though indirectly, can bring

not only better academic success, but a happier, better balanced child.

Who can you trust to help you with your Medical Insurance Needs? TesTimonial “We never realized how much difference it would mean to have the right medical group on your side. My husband is on Medicare and the ‘Medical Group’ he was with was stringing him along for over a year concerning his health issues. Egregious things kept happening and we were more than frustrated. I suggested we talk to Charise about what we were experiencing. I thought perhaps she would know what we should do. When my husband shared what was going on with Charise she took the matter seriously and moved into action; she even made phone calls to his current medical group to see if we could get some satisfaction. After getting nowhere herself she checked out the groups rating. She discovered their customer care rating was so bad they were in danger of losing their insurance companies that subscribe patients to them. She promptly found my husband a new group with excellent ratings. Come this last January 2016 for the first time someone took my husband’s cardiac Arrhythmia and other issues seriously. He was sent to an excellent Cardiologist who promptly sent him to a Superb Electrophysiologist who found what the problem was. Surgery was scheduled and using an ablation technique, the Electrophysiologist was able to fix his arrhythmia. My husband is doing much better and I believe her caring ways helped to save his quality and quantity of life. The right insurance group is important and having a knowledgeable caring person like Charise on your side is invaluable.” - The Thomas’

Temecula Middle School students take part in mock presidential debates and election Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA

More than 1,400 Temecula Middle School students just like their parents will be visiting the “polls” General Election Day, Nov. 8 lining up to place their votes for the next U.S President in voting booths donated by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. The polls will be in the Multipurpose room at the school where the four “retired” voting booths will be open. The students, just like parents, were required to “register” to vote, but in this case their votes it will only count in the school itself. The mock election project, involving all the middle schoolers, was the brainchild of the eighth-graders in teacher Robert Eilek’s U.S History classes. “The eighth-grade students approached me in late August wanting to know if they could have a mock election,” Eilek said. “The last time we did this was in 2014, but it wasn’t as exciting.” He agreed, but told his students it would be their responsibility to plan it out and if they wanted to portray the candidate of their choice they would have to do the research as to the candidate’s backgrounds and their view on the issues. With the research, they did they would have to submit a list of questions relating to the real national issues on the minds of the American voters and each candidate’s views. The questions would then be presented to the candidates by the debate commentators just like those in the actual National Presidential Debates. In an effort to make the mock election as realistic as possible other history class students decided to dress up like Secret Service men and women to protect the candidates, while other made up signs protesting or favoring their chosen candidate. Suits and ties were in order for the candidates while the dark suits, sunglasses and even earbuds were required of the Secret Service agents. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the school’s third period the students from each grade in turn heard their own peers, portraying U.S. Presidential Candidates Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, debate the issues facing the nation. The debates moderated by other students portraying the news media political commentators. Cheers and clapping was heard as the candidates presented their views, sometime being critical of the other candidate just like it was in the actual debates. After a great deal of research four students from Eilek’s eighth grade classes, and alternates were selected to play the roles of the

Four booths like these were loaned to TMS history teacher Robert Eilek for the mock elections.

When nobody wanted to step into the role of Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson, student Gabriel

Yocum took the role. Students in the Tuesday Debate included Yocum who stayed the course as Candidate Johnson, Sean Farrow who played Donald Trump, Annie Durrand was Hillary Clinton and student Chloe Gorelik was Jill Stein. The last debate Thursday was to be a mix of the same students.

Remodel for maximum return on investment with these top projects Scott McGillivray SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As a contractor and real estate expert, I am often asked by homeowners for advice on the best projects for their remodeling dollars. It’s important to first consider the purpose of the remodel. Is it for the home owner, for resale, or as part of an income-generating suite? There are some remodels that have proven to be reliable investments over time.

Kitchen and bathroom remodels top the list. High-end finishes, like marble and quartz countertops, stainless steel or commercial-grade appliances, are greatly coveted. Clever storage is desirable, along with home automation, a new and growing trend for kitchens. The hottest bathrooms right now aim to replicate a spa-like experience. From color and accessories to scents and lighting, transforming this room into a

relaxation haven will maximize its appeal. Basement remodels are among the best ways to gain space without going the route of a costly addition, but the key is doing it right. Address moisture issues first, and hire professionals for plumbing, electrical and mechanical work. Insulate with a water-repellant insulation made from inorganic materials to improve energy efficiency and focus on the finishes later. Installing, topping up or replacing insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase energy efficiency and save money

over the life of a home. For exterior walls, basements headers, cathedral ceilings and attics a product called Roxul Comfortbatt stone wool insulation is often recommended for exceptional thermal performance. For interior walls and between floors, Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound is excellent for its sound dampening qualities. Both products are fire resistant up to 2,150 degrees Fahrenheit, resistant to mold and mildew and Greenguard-certified to the highest level for air quality. Home owners don’t have to spend a lot of money to realize a good return; smaller fixes can

give good returns too. Can’t afford a full-out kitchen or bathroom remodel? Consider painting walls and cabinets, replacing outdated hardware or fixtures and installing new lighting for an impactful refresh. When it comes to living spaces, it’s amazing what a splash of color, some new flooring, carefully selected accessories or strategic lighting can do for the look and feel of a room. Save a little extra by doing it yourself. With a positive attitude and some elbow grease, you can make a big difference with projects that require low to moderate know-how.

Ten reasons for selling your home over the holidays Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Autumn is definitely in the air. Mornings are crisp and the evening comes very early now that daylight savings time is over…before long it will be dark before 5 p.m. Christmas decorations and sales are already filling the stores. There is just so much going on in our lives and our community that many people think this is a lousy time to try and sell their home. Nothing could be further than the truth! Sure, we may not have as many sales in November and December as we have in June and July, but then again, we don’t have as much competition either; not only that, the buyers who are looking to buy a home during the fall season are some pretty serious buyers. 10. REALTORS® don’t work – That may be true with a majority or real estate agents, they have the same mindset as a lot of sellers. They roll up their business for the winter and plan on emerging for the spring buying season. Professional full time REALTORS® however, work throughout the year. Sure they may take a day or

two off now and then, but they are focused on providing professional guidance and service every day of the year. 9. The seller must move – Many times a seller can’t imagine going through the ordeal of moving right in the middle of their Christmas vacation – but think about it. The seller still controls the process and can determine what date is acceptable to close escrow and surrender the keys to their home. Besides, if you got a full price plus offer meeting all of your terms, wouldn’t it be nice to get out of your home before the end of the year and start the New Year off right? 8. The seller becomes a noncontingent buyer – Once you sell your home, you’ll be able to write offers on your replacement home as a non-contingent buyer. Being a contingent buyer leaves you as one of the weakest possible buyers and leaves you very little room to negotiate any of the terms. As a noncontingent buyer, you’ll be able to negotiate with confidence on any of the terms that are important to you – including price. You’ve got your end taken care of and money is in the bank ready to close escrow on that move-up home. 7. Buyers have more time to shop – Time off from work and

school are not uncommon with many buyers during the holiday season. More time off means more time to shop and getting to know your neighborhood. 6. Potential tax benefits – You’ll have to check with your own professional tax adviser but there just may be some substantial benefit for selling your home now. In the same spirit, there are many buyers in the market for a new home who feel as if they have to close escrow before the end of the year of their own tax planning reasons. 5. Showcase the neighborhood – One of the great advantages for selling real estate during the holiday season is many homes are now decorated and look their absolute best this time of year. Literally, prospective buyers will be able to see your home and neighborhood in a ‘new light.’ 4. Nostalgic showcase – It’s very possible that your home has its most nostalgic appeal during this time period. Are there leaves turning color? Do you have pumpkins on the porch and a wreath on the door? So, you may have Christmas lights adoring the exterior of the home and other decorations inside. What will buyers feel like when they see the pine swags on the fireplace mantle and the garland adorned with big red bows cascading down the staircase handrail. If it doesn’t remind them of their own childhood, they’ll be thinking how great it will be for their own children to have a memory of home like this. Nostalgia is big business in America, cash in on in and let your home shine. 3. Never a more serious buyer than a holiday buyer – Being a military community, we have a constant turnover of personnel coming and going from our nearby bases. The first of the year is always a busy time for new jobs to start and those new hires or transfers need to get set up before they start the new job in January. Other buyers are anticipating a

large end-of-year bonus that will help with the down payment and moving expenses. Whatever the reason, a Holiday buyer is a serious buyer – not a looky-loo, looking for the fun of it. 2. Less competition – So many sellers pull their home off the market by early November and don’t even want to consider selling again until after Easter when the spring buying season starts. Most home sellers want to wait until we have a HOT market again. That’s when there is the most competition for a good home. By listing and selling your home now, buyers have much less to choose from which means there is much less competition for your home. It’s not uncommon for a fairly priced home in good condi-

How often do smoke alarms need to be replaced?

Smoke detectors should be tested monthly, and batteries should be replaced when they begin to chirp, signaling that they’re running low. Thinkstock/Andrey Popov photo

TEMECULA – How often should the smoke alarms in your home be replaced? If you don’t know, you’re not alone. A national survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association shows that nine out of 10 Americans don’t know how often smoke alarms need to be replaced. The correct answer: every10 years. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, NFPA is promoting this year ’s campaign theme, “Don’t Wait - Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” to better educate the public about this potentially life-saving message. “While the public generally knows that smoke alarms play an important role in home fire safety,

some smoke alarm messages are not as well understood,” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “Not knowing how often smoke alarms need to be replaced - or that they even have an expiration date - are among them.” According to Carli that lack of awareness means some U.S. homes may have smoke alarms that have outlasted their full functionality, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. NFPA statistics show that three out of five U.S. home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working alarms. Key Survey Findings: Half of Americans have three or

more smoke alarms in their current home. Almost one in five Americans who have smoke alarms say the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is 10-plus years old. Nearly one in five Americans who have smoke alarms are not at all sure how old the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is. When asked how often they should replace smoke alarms, nine in 10 Americans did not select the correct answer, which is once every 10 years. “Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire in half,” said Carli. “That’s why it’s so important to make sure they’re working properly.” A smoke alarm’s age can be determined by looking on the back or side of the smoke alarm, where the date of manufacture can be found. Smoke alarms should be replaced 10 years from that date, not the date of purchase or installation. In addition, smoke alarms should be tested monthly, and batteries should be replaced when they begin to chirp, signaling that they’re running low. Fire departments throughout the U.S. and Canada play a key role in making Fire Prevention Week an annual success by implementing the campaign in their communities; departments throughout North America hosted open houses and

other local events throughout the week of Oct. 9-15. For more information on smoke alarms and this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, visit www. firepreventionweek.org. About Fire Prevention Week NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week since 1922. According to the National Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. The President of the United States has signed a proclamation declaring a national observance during that week every year since 1925. Visit www. firepreventionweek.org for more

Do you turn the thermostat a notch higher or put on an extra sweater when it gets cold? It’s a common household debate as family members try to maintain a balance between comfort and savings during the winter. It’s also a debate you may be able to put to rest by investing in energy-saving maintenance and upgrades. Start with a home energy audit, an inspection that focuses on finding areas where a home wastes energy. Professional auditors can cost $300 to $800 depending on the type of audit, but could consider tackling an audit and some of the changes at home. Doing so could make a home more comfortable, lower the ecological footprint and save energy and money. Some homeowners qualify for state-funded weatherization assistance. Look into state-based financial assistance programs before going at it alone. Contact the state’s weatherization agency to review eligibility guidelines, find a local service provider and start an application. If approved, a professional energy audit and improvements could be free. About $4,000 worth of energy savingrelated work was completed for the 2015 program year in the average home that applied. If paying for a professional audit isn’t possible and neither is qualifying for assistance, consider conducting a do-it-yourself audit. A thorough inspection of the home can uncover opportunities for improvement. It is best to rent an infrared camera to help spot trouble areas. Look over the Department of Energy›s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy›s

guide to conducting a DIY home energy audit, and create a log of findings along the way. Keep in mind, location can impact what fixes to focus on, the type and amount of insulation needed and even the type of heating system. Typical trouble spots can have simple solutions. Keep the cold air outside. The DOE estimates that residents can save 5 to 30 percent on energy bills by just reducing drafts. Check for leaks around doors, windows, plumbing, cabinets and other potential outlets. Also look for dirty spots on your wall, ceiling and floors as that could indicate air or moisture is getting in. Use foam sealant to fill in large gaps, and use caulking or weather stripping for smaller leaks. Covering drafty windows and doorways with storm windows or doors could also be a worthwhile investment. Consider adding more insulation. The insulation in walls and ceilings may not meet today›s recommendations. Re-insulating or supplementing the insulation could help the home stay warm, or cool, and might not be as difficult as imagined in easy-to-access attics or basements. However, check with a professional who can recommend what type of insulation to use and warn of potential ventilation, fire or moisture hazards during and after installation. Regularly inspect the heating systems. Heating systems can cost thousands of dollars to replace. While it may not be a DIY job, prolong the system›s life by hiring a professional heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractor to inspect and tune up the system before each winter. Some utilities also offer free in-home inspections of gas appliances. A simple monthly

job is checking the air filter and replacing it to the manufacturer›s specifications or whenever it looks dirty. Also, check for and seal all holes, leaks and poor connections in the air ducts. Weigh the costs and benefits before investing time or money in a winterization project. Some of items on the checklist could be nobrainers, but others might require more thought. The bottom line is a home energy audit can help identify ways to improve energy efficiency and make a home more comfortable. Whether hiring professionals, applying for government assistance or doing it yourself, it is important to prepare before winter hits, allowing for an enjoyably warm home without stressing over the energy bill.

its proven track record in meeting financial obligations, and in providing essential services with a low cost structure. The bond issuance will provide $36.3 million for new capital projects including a major project to enable the District to use additional amounts of the less costly types of imported water to promote continued rate affordability in the future. Formed in 1965, RCWD supplies an area of approximately 150 square miles. The District serves the area known as Temecula/Rancho California, which includes the City of Temecula, parts of Murrieta and other contiguous lands. The District is separated into two divisions: the Santa Rosa Division generally west of I-15 and Rancho Division generally east of I-15. The District currently provides sewer service to the Cal Oaks and Bear Creek areas.

Rancho California Water District restructures debt to save money TEMECULA – In an ongoing effort to provide safe, reliable water supply at an affordable price to its customers, Rancho California Water District refinanced its fixed interest rate bonds issued in 2002 and 2008. By taking advantage of the favorable bond market and issuing replacement debt at lower interest rates, the District expects to save nearly $14.5 million over the life of the bonds. “The bond restructuring is a huge success for the District,” said Board President Bill Plummer. “Obtaining the lowest interest cost possible for the District’s financing program is an important component of the District’s financial stability.” RCWD issued $104.5 million in bonds between three issuances.

Human foods pets should avoid

TEMECULA – The revenue of the pet care industry is testament to the lengths people will go to ensure their pets are comfortable and receiving a high level of care. Well-meaning pet owners may pamper their pets, and many believe giving treats of human food is the ultimate indulgence for their animals. However, these individuals may be unwittingly exposing their beloved pets to health problems by feeding them the wrong foods. The Humane Society of the United States warns that even foods that are considered good for people can be very dangerous for pets. This may even include common fruits and vegetables. In 2010, the American Society for the

because they can be fatal. As few as six raw or roasted macadamias can make dogs seriously ill. Symptoms of poisoning include muscle tremors, weakness or paralysis of the hindquarters, vomiting, elevated body temperature and rapid heart rate. Sweetened candy: Candies, gums, toothpaste and any product containing ‘xylitol’ can cause more insulin to circulate through a pet’s body, making blood sugar drop. That can result in liver failure and loss of coordination. Foods that people consume should not be shared with pets unless they have been recommended by a veterinarian. Even then, human food should be shared sparingly.

ERIKKA WATTS

My name is Hanna. I am a Australian cattle dog mix and while no one is sure about my age, the nice people at the shelter say I am about 5 or 6-years-old. I am a true sweetheart and waiting patiently at the shelter for my new people to come and find me.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Animal Poison Control Center received more than 167,000 calls related to pet exposure to toxic substances. The top three reasons for pet poisoning included consumption of prescription and over-the-counter drugs (45,616 calls); ingestion of insecticides (29,020 calls); and eating human food (17,453 calls). Many people are unaware that certain foods present a hazard to their pets’ health. Although any food not specifically designed for cats and dogs can affect the digestive system, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea or intestinal distress, the following foods are particularly problematic for companion animals.
