A trio of city founders recently told of Temecula’s bumpy path to incorporation nearly 25 years ago and the role that prolonged effort played in shaping the future of the fast-growing, dynamic community.

The process was much like giving birth to an infant who has since grown into a hearty, handy and hospitable adult, said Peg Moore, who served on the first City Council after the fledging community cleared a string of hurdles and achieved municipal status.

“Having this child, it seems so satisfying to see it grow up to what

She spoke briefly at the end of the event. Her husband, Jimmy, who served as the chairman of Temecula’s pre-incorporation City Committee, anchored the evening’s presentation. But it was their friend Perry Peters, another driving force in the push to form the city, who stole the show.

Peters, who headed the Temecula-area chamber of commerce as the bid to form a city coalesced, read an open letter that was published in December 1989. Peters

Local water agencies come Veterans honored in together to give a Menifee Menifee at Wheatfield Park neighborhood clean water Michelle Mears-Gerst Writer It took almost a decade to resolve but residents of Menifee and Wildomar whose homes connect to a failing private water company will have fresh clean drinking water before Thanksgiving.

Customers of the County Water Company of Riverside met on Nov. 1 in Wildomar to sign paperwork and have questions answered by the representatives of the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) and the Riverside County Economic Development Agency.

EMWD and EVMWD, along with officials from Riverside County and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), have been working toward a solution that will

bring new infrastructure and a safe and reliable drinking water supply to the community.

The neighborhood of close to 140 homes has been dealing for years with an inadequate and dangerous water system. Residents have been unable to drink their tap water due to the high levels of cancer causing nitrates and sometimes would go for days without water to low pressure.

“This was a lengthy, complex process,” said Kevin Pearson, public affairs officer with EMWD. “We really feel for these property owners. It has been really rough.”

“We take for granted having clean safe water in the United States. It is not till we have issues like this failing water system that we see how complex and difficult

Homeland man arrested for murder of Fallbrook McStay family

Members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Homicide Detail take Charles “Chase” Merritt into custody Wednesday, Nov. 5. Merritt is being charged with murdering Fallbrook residents, Joseph, 40, and Summer McStay, 43, and their two sons, Gianni, 4, and Joey, 3.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Dept.

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your Home Southwest Riverside County When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before they’re even given a chance of showing.

Your asking price is often your home’s “first impression”, and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it’s imperative that you make a good first impression.

This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part

of the process, and on it’s own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision. A recently study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled “Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want( and Need)”. This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want.

Debbie Ramsey Staff Writer Joseph McStay’s business affiliate, Charles “Chase” Merritt has been arrested by authorities and will be charged with murdering the Fallbrook family of four that mysteriously disappeared in February 2010.

At a press conference held Friday, Nov. 7, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Homicide Detail announced that they had arrested Merritt, a resident of Homeland,

on Wed., Nov. 5 for the murders of Joseph McStay, 40, Summer McStay, 43, and their two sons, Gianni McStay, 4, and Joseph (Joey) M. McStay, 3.

The case, which appeared to baffle San Diego County authorities, was transferred to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s agency almost exactly one year ago when the remains of the family members were discovered Nov. 13, 2013 by an off-road motorcyclist in a desert area between Quarry Road and Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Dept., “Over the past 12 months, investigators have conducted an extensive investigation which included the service of 60 search warrants and over 200 interviews.”

“Investigators received about 250 tips and followed up on every one; including emails, Crime Stoppers, We-Tip, America’s Most Wanted, National Center for Missing/Exploited Children and anonymous telephone calls.”

The agency reported that their homicide investigators worked with the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office and Special Agent Kevin Boles with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the case.

“Merritt was arrested without incident and transported to the West Valley Detention Center,” authorities said. “He was booked for murder and is being held without bail. The District Attorney’s Office filed four counts of murder

against Merritt.” He may also be charged with special circumstances involving the multiple murders, which could make him eligible for the death penalty.

The San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office determined via autopsy that the cause of death of the McStay family members was blunt force trauma.

While San Diego County authorities reported earlier in the investigation that there was no evidence of crime at the McStay home, San Bernardino authorities have a different opinion.

“Based on the entire investigation and the evidence obtained, investigators believe the murders occurred at the family home in Fallbrook,” they stated.

At this time, because the investigation is continuing, authorities are not disclosing the motive for the murders.

Public records indicate that Merritt has prior law enforcement offenses.

Anyone with potentially helpful information about the McStay case is asked to contact Homicide Detective Eddie Bachman or Sgt. Chris Fisher at (909)387-3589. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or leave information on the We-Tip Hotline at www.wetip.com.

Southbound lanes of I-15 were blocked due to the fatal motorcycle crash that occurred at approximately 6:36 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7.

Joe Fanaselle Writer A motorcyclist who was killed after his bike collided with a car on Interstate 15 in Temecula and was flung underneath a big rig was identified as Brandon Abney, 23, of Hemet.

Abney, initially thought to be a resident of Kentucky, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash Friday morning, Nov. 8, on southbound Interstate 15, two miles north of Winchester Road, by the Riverside County Coroner’s Office.

The fatal accident happened

semi-truck. The rider was ejected from the motorcycle and ultimately ended up under the wheels of the trailer, Lassig said. The driver of the semi-truck felt the collision and stopped immediately, along with several other motorists.

Rescue crews responded and the rider was pronounced dead at the scene, Lassig said. No one else was injured in the accident, he added.

Southbound traffic was reduced to one lane passing the accident, causing traffic to back up for miles on both Interstate 15 and Interstate 215, as well as several surface streets through Murrieta and Temecula. A SIG alert was issued and remained in effect for nearly 3 hours.

Lassig said the driver of the Honda was not expected to be cited, adding that the speed of the motorcycle was believed to be the primary factor in the collision.

The investigation was still being conducted, he added.

No other injuries were reported.

Community rallies behind veteran at Lake Elsinore home giveaway

10 Things You Need to Know Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal.

Hiring an agent should be like any hiring process, interview multiple agents to make sure you hire the right one! Because selling or buying real estate is probably the single largest financial decision you will make and it shouldn’t be left up to chance.

Davis said he was happy for the Bawden family, but also said he recognized the challenges of helping veterans in the first place.

“The hardest part is getting veterans to apply,” Davis said. “That is the toughest part because the selflessness they exude, and it always takes their friends to push them a little bit.

I’m glad that you guys have friends to help you out with that as well.”

Lake Elsinore area residents gathered together Saturday to honor a man who sacrificed for his country through military service.

Cpl. Michael Bawden of the U.S. Marine Corps and his wife Carol became homeowners during the HomeStrong home giveaway in Lake Elsinore on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Dozens of community volunteers rolled out to support Bawden, who suffered injuries during his time as a small arms repair technician. Those injuries affected his eyesight and will leave him with difficulties for the rest of his life, Bank of America Representative David Hahn said.

HomeStrong is an organization that has been working in tandem with Bank of America and other companies in order to help veterans who face difficulties, either physically or financially as a part of its “Heroes Program.” They’ve given away hundreds of homes across the country to people in need.

“We’ve done home giveaways across the country,” HomeStrong USA CEO Jed Davis said. “Florida, South Carolina, you name it. But this is very special because we’re based out of Rancho Cucamonga so it’s in our own backyard and it’s fun to be able to do it here locally.”

“Bank of America has now exceeded 1600 homes that we have donated to military families nationwide,” Hahn said. “Most of those are with HomeStrong USA.” Hahn explained that Bank of America usually donates the homes to HomeStrong so that that the organization can give to veteran families in need and that over the years, the two entities have fostered a strong relationship with one another that has helped those who have given years of their lives to help and protect others.

“Here we are, coming up on a very important day (Veterans Day),” Hahn said. “And to be able to do this for this family adds that much more to the experience, and we’re glad to be a part of it.”

Hahn said the family had been selected because they had fallen on hard times and had to move in with Michael’s in-laws.

The Bawdens and their three daughters will now be able to move into a two-story home with a patio area and backyard filled with different kinds of plants and cacti. From the back patio the Bawdens will have a view of Lake Elsinore.

“I was ecstatic and really just speechless,” Bawden said of receiving the home. Bawden was led to believe that he was one of multiple contestants in the running for the receipt of the house, so it came as news to him that he was the winner and had been selected ahead of time.

His wife, Carol, said she was excited and couldn’t wait to spend time in the home just relaxing. She said there were many things she really liked about her new abode.

“It’s hard to pick one spot because it’s such a nice house,” she said.

“The kitchen, the rooms, everything; the furniture is very lovely.”

In addition to the receipt of the house, the Bawdens were given $15,000 from Summit College so that Michael could go back to school and continue his education, something he said he was looking forward to. They were also given a $500 gift card for Kohl’s Department Store from Cahuilla Casino so they could buy furnishings for their house.

Newcomer hopes to bring life to Murrieta City Council

Former mayor, incumbent and small business owner elected to office Kim Harris Writer

Gibbs said he would also like ensure that leases made to high tech industries begin to pay more dividends to the city and its residents.

“You may have seen that Health South just announced that they are coming to Murrieta where they are going to build a 54,000 square foot facility,” he said. “I would hope that in the four years of my last term that we would see the corridor that we used to talk about along the 215 extending from Loma Linda Medical Center on the south to Kaiser in the north. It becomes a job resource for us for medical research as well as medical related industries.”

Gibbs said that he hopes the new council can get back to focusing on the city as a whole rather than individuals.

“I hope that after the ugliness of this election, that we have a city council that believes the operative word is we not I,” he said. “If we can get back to where we once were, which is using the word we, nobody takes credit on the city council because everything is accomplished by we as a city council.

If that can happen then the citizens of Murrieta will be the better for it.”

Gibbs said he believes the next year will be “intriguing and interesting” and his hope is everyone will pull their own weight and pull together in the same direction.

“The people of Murrieta voted for a first, second and third place finisher, that was the choice of the Murrieta voters so that is incum-

Incumbent Rick Gibbs easily walked away with the majority of votes in the race for three seats on Murrieta City Council. Former mayor Alan Long and newcomer Jonathan Ingram came in second and third respectively, winning seats at the dais as well.

The three beat out challengers Diana Serafin, James Richardson, C. Kent Leeper, Brian Barton, Ruthanne Taylor Berger and Matthew Alvernaz.

Rick Gibbs, who has nine years experience serving on Murrieta City Council, received 20.11 percent of the vote, a high number considering there were nine candidates vying for the three open seats.

Gibbs said he is looking at moving the city forward. He’d like to see a four-year college and more high tech industries come to Murrieta and plans on working towards making those plans realities.

“I want to pursue a path where the city goes a long way in starting the dialogue on adding a four-year university to the area,” said the retired U.S. Air Force Colonel. “We have land that has been identified that is available for us to utilize.

The question is can we attract a university given the fact that RCC is only 30 miles away and Cal State University is 40 miles away.

We have to begin that dialogue at some point.”

bent on those who are seated on this council to put past differences aside and work together,” he said.

Former mayor Alan Long didn’t end his candidacy after stepping down from his position with the city following a car accident that injured four teens in October. Currently, he is faced with a felony DUI charge and faces a negligence lawsuit filed by the Murrieta Valley High School students who were injured in the incident. The charges he currently faces were not enough to stop voters from electing him to another term with Murrieta City Council. Long finished in second place with 16.62 percent of the vote, enough to ensure he retakes his seat at the dais.

Long, who referred the Valley News to his election website and previous interviews with the Valley News, said that while in office he maintained a fiscally conservative balanced budget, built Ivy St. and Ynez overpass connections, and widened and improved every overpass in Murrieta.

In a previous interview Long said he has kept Murrieta one of the safest cities in the nation, reduced ambulance response times by two minutes, nearly doubled the amount of trails in Murrieta, opened Murrieta’s first Teen Center, expanded the city’s senior center and increased programs offered by the city’s library.

“I have helped navigate our city through the worst economic

climate our nation has seen since the depression,” he said. “However, we were able to lay the groundwork for post recovery, specifically in job creation and quality of life.

Murrieta unemployment remains well below the national and regional level. With its fourth hospital coming and 2,500 more homes, Murrieta is on pace to attract more high paying jobs for the current and future residents.”

Long previously said that he believes the biggest challenges faced by the city are issues such as traffic, uncontrolled growth, lack of public safety and overcrowded schools all have the potential to undermine Murrieta’s future.

“Every project approved and policy created must keep these issues in mind in order to keep Murrieta a desirable place to live, work, and play,” he said, adding that he would continue to follow the city’s capital improvement and general plans. “It takes courage to lead and stand in front of issues you believe in. While I’m not perfect, I don’t believe any person is, I’ve always viewed myself as a public servant and have served Murrieta for decades. Whether it is helping coach and council our youth or creating policy that guides our city, I have always had the best interest of Murrieta in mind.”

Ingram took 13.72 percent of the vote to win his seat at the dais.

As the only newly-elected councilmember, he hopes to bring vision

and collective progress to the city, something he believes has been lacking in the past. ““I want to see more business in Murrieta and the treatment of already existing businesses to be more inviting and friendly,” he said. “I want places to go, things to see, and more activities to participate in without having to drive to neighboring cities to do so.”

Ingram, a small business owner, said he is looking forward to his term as a city council member and will work to attract new businesses to Murrieta while helping existing businesses continue to thrive.

“Murrieta can attract more, higher paying jobs,” he said. “More businesses mean more choices for us to shop, dine, and entertain. It also means more revenues, without raising taxes, to keep our city safe, and provide the amenities and services we want from local government. Long bureaucratic processes and reams of the red tape discourage local businesses from expanding, or new businesses from locating here.”

Ingram, who says he is not a career politician, said he plans to restore what he called a “responsive, accountable city government.”

“Too often we do not know how the council arrived at a decision or why,” he said. “Council decisions must be made after thoughtful public discussion and in the open, and must make common sense.”

Temecula teen Josiah Bierle presented Congressional Gold Medal Canyon highlighted the trip, as well as adapting to some extreme weather involving rain, sleet, and snow during the last night.

Josiah has enjoyed the challenges

of the Congressional Award Program so much, that he now has become an advisor to another young man who is completing the requirements to attain his Bronze Medal.

Josiah is a High School Senior this year, and with the application process almost complete, aspires to attend the United States Air Force Academy next year.

It All Starts With The Right Team

Josiah Bierle and U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter.

On Tuesday, Oct. 21, Josiah Bierle, age 17, was presented the Congressional Award Gold Medal by U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter.

Josiah has previously received the Bronze and Silver Medals, and with determination completed the requirements for the Gold Medal.

The Congressional Award has four categories with each requiring a commitment to time and service. The categories were Volunteer Service, Personal Development, Physical Fitness, and Expedition/Exploration.

Josiah completed 400 hours of Volunteer/Community Service working at the Temecula Public Library, March Field Air Museum as a Junior Docent and in the restoration depart-

WATER from page A-1 it is to have safe clean drinking water,” said Pearson.

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said, “Most of us take for granted we will have water when we turn on the faucet. It was a terrible situation for these residents.”

Jeffries said he and his staff worked hard pushing multiple agencies to work together to overcome the roadblocks. “My mission was to keep pushing the matter forward and not let it stall,” said Jeffries.

During the workshop, property owners and residents learned more about the timeline of the transition and what steps property owners will need to take to ensure paperwork is properly completed, allowing them to receive service from the public agencies into the future.

Under the proposed terms of service, EMWD and EVMWD will construct new infrastructure that is paid for through more than $6 mil-

ment, and working events with the Civil Air Patrol/Air Force Auxiliary.

His Personal Development required at least 200 hours, and was accomplished by preparing for and attaining his Private Pilot License, which he completed on his 17th birthday.

The 200+ hours for Physical Fitness were completed through competitive swimming. Josiah is a Junior Olympic level competitive swimmer.

The final requirement was a 4-day/4-night Expedition to a location that would be completely new to him. Josiah chose to plan a camping trip and hiking in the Anza-Borrego Desert. Two beautiful hikes and exploration of Font’s Point and Slot lion in grant funding from the CDPH. Construction is anticipated to last approximately one year. Following completion of the work, properties with existing structures on them will become customers of the public water agencies.

The process includes annexation into the service area of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The costs of that annexation are also covered by grant funding.

In the interim, EVMWD is constructing a temporary emergency water line that will serve current CWC customers with a safe drinking water supply delivered through existing infrastructure. Riverside County EDA will assume the responsibility of billing customers until the two public water agencies complete the new infrastructure and transition period.

Upon completion of the new infrastructure, customers in Menifee will be served by EMWD and those in Wildomar will be served by EVMWD.

10,000 people are waiting in line for a cup of coffee --Found something good at Costco

You’ve heard about the electrolyte-rich benefits of coconut water, and the dense nutrients and multiple health benefits of coconut oil. But what about coconut coffee, tea, and cocoa? Southern California’s CACafe makes these delicious antioxi-

dant-rich beverages with premium coconut oil, coconut milk, Arabica coffee, green tea, and cocoa.

Both health affirming and tasty, CACafe Coconut Coffee & Tea can help with weight control, digestive and heart health, and can improve the body’s immune system. Coconut also scavenges free radicals that prematurely age skin, regenerating and stimulating collagen production.

Combined with the antioxidants in coffee, tea, and cocoa themselves, with no artificial flavors or preservatives, CACafe beverages are designed to do more than just taste great. According to Colorado’s non-profit Coconut Research Center, coconut is low alkaline, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as potassium and manganese.

Cancer survivor Lisa Richmond attests “I began drinking coconut tea in 2004...as a beauty aid. In 2006, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer...(but) to everyone’s surprise, my cancerous cells had not metastasized.” Richmond credits CACafe coconut tea with “keeping me strong, before, during, and after my cancer experience. I remain can-

cer-free and CACafe coconut tea plays a major role in my life.” In fact, A.P. John Cancer Institute for Cancer Research has recommended the addition of coconut oils to the diet to reduce free radicals and cancer risk.

For weight loss, too, CACafe can’t be beat.

User Malia Owen lost 12.5 pounds in just three and a half weeks. “I felt an incredible energy boost after the coconut coffee, and also less hungry.”

Owen says she’s experienced less eating and snacking overall since enjoying the beverage daily.

Coconut boosts metabolism and improves thyroid function.

Unlike many foods which contain primarily long-chain fatty acids, coconut contains medium-chain fatty acids quickly burned up by the body, leading to weight loss and significantly lower incidence of heart disease and obesity.

Residents of the Philippines, India, and the Pacific Islands who consume high amounts of coconut coffee and tea in their diets have far fewer cases of heart disease and obesity than those in countries that don't.

So you know they’re healthy, but how do CACafe products taste? The short answer is amazing. Sweet and rich, it’s unnecessary to add creamer or milk.

Delightful, good for you, and tasty - something everyone in the family can enjoy.

And CACafe not only does right by you - the

company donates resources from every product sold to fight world hunger and support sustainable coconut crop development worldwide.

Actor Dustin Hoffman once said “The two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk.” Maybe he was onto something.

Made with real coconut, premium coffee, cocoa, and green tea, CACafe's patented products were created to deliciously improve your body’s defenses, heart and digestive health, as well as assisting with weight control.

The coconut coffee is available at Costco Lake Elsinore (29315 Central Ave, Lake Elsinore, CA 92532), Costco San Marcos (725 Center Drive, San Marcos, CA 92069), and Costco Carlsbad (951 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad, CA 92009). To find out more, visit www.CACafe.com.

Local HONOR from page A-1 wanted to find a way to recognize the sacrifices of veterans living in the Temecula Valley.

“I originally brought it to the club. It was after attending a national rotary conference,” said Bryant, adding that he had a conversation with a woman from Utah who had been part of a Field of Honor for victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. “So, I tossed it around in my head for about another year and we were trying to come up with a project to tie into a project we put together called the Murrieta History Walk. This came back to me and I thought we have a lot of active duty and retired veterans in this area.”

Bryant who served in Vietnam said he noticed when he came home from war it was a different environment for those who had served in what was an unpopular conflict.

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

Part of me wanted to ensure that when our folks are coming home from conflict, I wanted to make sure that they know we appreciate what they have gone through and what they sacrificed.”

Bryant said when he started the community service project he didn’t want it to be a memorial per say.

“I wanted it to be a Field of Honor,” he said. “We wanted it to honor all of our heroes because it takes place over Veterans Day weekend. We planted it as a Field of Honor because we wanted it to be just that and to honor all of those who make a difference overseas and at home.”

Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces are not the only ones who are honored during the event; local emergency responders, fire, police and paramedics are also recognized

both in the opening ceremony held last weekend and on the field.

“We honor our local first responders too,” said Bryant who added that about 15 percent of the flags placed on the field are for the community heroes.

Bryant said the list doesn’t stop there, what people constitute as a hero varies according to each individual’s life events.

for her doctor a couple of years ago; she said her doctor saved her life from breast cancer,” Bryant said. “We’ve had flags placed for teachers, principals and it’s usually somebody who helped put them in the right direction. The field is designed for that purpose to be able to honor all of our heroes, including our personal heroes.”

Each year the Field of Honor grows larger in size, said Bryant.

This year’s field features three separate sections. The Local Heroes field honors the more than 100 men and women from the region who have died in the line of duty fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003. A second section recognizes Californians who have received the Medal of Honor, the country’s highest military decoration that is awarded for life saving acts during war. The final section displays the 27 versions of the American flag that have officially flown over the country since the first one was authorized by congress in 1977.

Also included in this section are six other familiar flags from the country’s past that were never approved.

The Medal of Honor field will feature the six new recipients from California who were awarded the honor earlier this year.

According to Bryant, going through the paperwork on each Medal of Honor recipient proved to be a bit more time consuming than he intended when the group added that section to the field.

“I got to a certain one and made the mistake of reading it,” he said.

“I think I was up all night because I was reading every one of them.”

In addition to the Field of Honor, a plethora of activities occurs throughout the week including opening and closing ceremonies, a candlelit concert and a Patriots Ball following the closing of the field on Saturday, Nov. 15.

“Every year we seem to add something,” said Bryant. “Last year we added the chalk art exhibit which went over extremely well so we have expanded that. The Historic Flag section came about three or four years ago.”

The new item this year is the Patriots Ball which has already sold out, according to Bryant. The Patriots Ball will feature a USO style-show and other activities throughout the evening.

“This is the first year we have

ROTARY from page A-1 scheduled impromptu speakers.

“I choke up walking through this,” Paul Price, a Canyon Lake artist, said as he strolled toward the lunch after he helped judge a chalk art competition held as part of a string of events sponsored by the Rotary Club of Murrieta.

The 50-member club annually organizes the event-strewn project that is spread over seven days. The number of events has grown as the program’s most colorful aspect, the flags, steadily mushroomed from about 1,200 the first year.

Rotary officials donated $3,000 this year, much of it from flag purchases and sponsorship donations, to the city’s Veterans Memorial fund. The group has raised a total of $14,000 for the memorial since the annual event began, club leaders said.

The 2,014 flying American flags honoring veterans at the Murrieta Field of Honor continues until the closing ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m.

done the Patriots Ball,” he said. “In the past it was the Spring Fling. It was one of our main fundraisers.

This year for the first time we have moved it to become part of this week’s activities. We are pretty excited about that, it looks like it will be a lot of fun.”

Bryant said his favorite time during the course of the week is when the area’s fifth graders come out for field trips.

“We give them an education on the flags, the sacrifices, the history and what the field is all about,” he said. “At some point during the week I see some fifth grader who had come out for the field trip who has come back with a parent walking through the field holding their

hand and pointing out what each part of the field is about. It literally makes an impact on them.”

Bryant said he believes the Field of Honor is unique because everyone has ties to the military service in some way shape or form.

“I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t have someone either currently or from their past who has served or is serving,” Bryant said. “It’s what makes them who they are.”

The Field of Honor is located at Town Square Park in Murrieta and is open for viewing every day through Saturday from 9 a.m. to dusk. For more information on the Field of Honor visit www. murrietafieldofhonor.com.

Harry Ramos, a Murrieta councilman who spent a decade with the Marine Corps, described the setting as “incredibly powerful and moving.” The flags anchored the center of Murrieta’s Civic Center complex.

“I’m just taken aback by the beauty of it,” he told his rapt audience.

Michael Garrison, a retired Marine major who served three tours in Iraq, said he felt “truly humbled” to be the luncheon’s keynote speaker.

Garrison described the annual project, which required the set-up services of about 150 volunteers, “always awe-inspiring when you come here.” He said it illustrates the area’s deep level of thanks and respect for its veterans and their service to the nation.

“It’s a cliché that freedom isn’t free, but it’s a harsh reality,” Garrison told his audience. “It’s our

job to make sure it’s not forgotten.

That’s one of the things that make this Valley a special place. We really appreciate and honor our veterans.”

A high point of the luncheon was the segment where a microphone was passed from one veteran to another in the audience. Scores of the impromptu speakers provided a brief recap of their service and shared snippets of their experiences.

They ranged from a Vietnam War infantry “grunt” to World War II soldiers, intelligence analysts, a doctor, a vice admiral and numerous highly-decorated veterans.

They alternated between humorous quips and serious stories about debilitating wounds, long recoveries and lost comrades. Many of the comments elicited standing ovations from audience members.

Local The 241 U.S. service members killed in Beirut, Lebanon remembered Michelle Mears-Gerst Writer A ceremony was held at the American Legion Post 365 on Oct. 24 to remember the Marines and Sailors who perished in a terrorist attack in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.

Tim Chambers — known as the Saluting Marine from Rolling Thunder for a lengthy salute he holds every year in Washington D.C. — coordinated the event to bring citizens and veterans together to remember the fallen.

“We must unite, break bread and show the survivors and the victim’s families they are not alone and their loved ones are not forgotten,” said Chambers.

The ceremony, which was followed by a dinner, explained what the Marines were doing in Beirut, Lebanon.

In 1983, there were 1,800 Marines along with a multi-national force from France, Italy and the United Kingdom on peacekeeping duty stationed in Beirut, Lebanon.

President Ronald Reagan sent the U.S. troops to Beirut in 1982.

At 6:22 a.m. on Oct. 23, 1983, a 19-ton yellow Mercedes-Benz stake-bed truck drove to the Beirut International Airport, where the U.S. 24th Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) was deployed.

The 1st Battalion, 8th Marines (1/8), commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Larry Gerlach, was a subordinate element of the 24th MAU. The truck was not the water truck the military had been expecting. Instead, it was a hijacked truck carrying 2000 pounds of explosives. The truck drove into the Marine compound and crashed

FOUNDERS from page A-1 has since been active in a range of community projects that include renaming a sports park after former President Ronald Reagan and erecting a statue in memory of the deceased leader.

Peters’ letter was likely included in a time capsule that the historic group and other community leaders hope to locate and unearth prior to the 25th anniversary of the city’s incorporation.

The mystery of the elusive time capsule drew chuckles at the Nov. 1 dinner held in the convention area of Temecula’s sprawling Civic Center complex.

Jimmy Moore, 79, said the time capsule is believed to be buried somewhere in the Town Center, which contains a Target store and is one of the first large shopping centers to be built in Temecula.

“The (city history) museum is looking for it,” he said. “We (society members) are looking for it.

We hope to find it before the first of December.”

In his remarks, Moore told of the growth, traffic and infrastructure concerns that fueled an incorporation bid that fizzled in the mid1980s and the obstacle-laden yet successful one that followed a few years later.

He detailed how voters embraced incorporation by an 88 percent margin and how they simultaneously picked the aboriginal name of Temecula over the cookie cutter moniker that the area’s initial developer had intended for the region.

Moore told how he had emerged as a leader of the revived incorporation effort despite some locals sizing him up as an Orange County “city slicker” who rolled into town wearing a suit and tie and driving a Mercedes Benz.

“We called ourselves the City Committee,” Moore recalled. “I being the new guy in town, I got elected chairman. I didn’t know zilch about politics. This was all new to me.”

That path to city status required numerous community meetings, repeated reviews by a Riverside County boundary-setting agency, a public vote and the creation from scratch of a municipal framework, budget and leadership structure.

Moore said he was not keen on seeking a council seat, but his wife proceeded down that path and she was elected from a crowded field of community leaders.

“I just followed along,” Moore quipped. “I was the driver.”

Temecula was little more than a dusty, historic outpost following World War II. Until it was sold for development in the 1960s, the region was dominated by the 87,500-acre Vail Ranch, which stretched from Vail Lake to the Santa Rosa Plateau.

At the time of the ranch sale, Temecula consisted of a few

into the barracks.

“This is what we believe to be the first Islamic Jihad attack on the United States,” said David Francisco a Marine Sgt. with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines (2/8).

Francisco was on the ship USS Guam heading to Beirut to join the rest of his battalion the day of the attacks.

“We were also on our way to a peacekeeping mission,” said Francisco who lost friends in the bombing.

“These radicals were cowards; they bombed the barracks when the Marines were sleeping.”

The suicide bomber had 21,000 pounds of TNT in the truck. The force of the explosion collapsed the four-story building into rubble, crushing many inside.

During the ceremony at the Vista American Legion, Chambers had the names of the 241 service members killed read aloud by members of the audience.

Tears flowed by veterans like

Francisco who lost friends on that fateful day.

Former National President of the Gold Star Mothers, Judith Young gave Chambers a message to read during the ceremony.

Young’s son Sgt. Jeffrey D. Young was killed in the bombings.

“Thank you all for gathering today. I miss my boy every day.

I stand very proud of his service and for being my son. You all show true patriotism by being at this ceremony today,” said Young.

Judith Young is known for beginning a support group called The Beirut Connection with another mother, who lost a son in the Beirut bombing. The Beirut Connection began locating and uniting those who lost sons, fathers and brothers to the bombing. Eventually it merged with the Beirut Veterans Association.

They also initiated a Beirut Stamp initiative. “We still do not have a stamp for those killed in Beirut,” said Chambers.

President Reagan pulled U.S. troops out of Beirut in 1984. In 2003, a U.S. federal judge ruled the terrorist group Hezbollah carried out the attack at the direction of the Iranian government. The ruling allowed families of the victims to sue Iran.

Hezbollah, Iran and Syria continued to deny any involvement in any of the bombings, but in 2004, the Iranian government erected a monument in Tehran to commemorate the 1983 bombings and its “martyrs.”

On Sept. 7, 2007, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered Iran to pay more than $2.6 billion to survivors and family members.

On March 1, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York City seeking to force Iran to pay the $2.6 billion awarded to survivors and family members in 2007.

On March 30, 2012, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth issued a judgment against Iran of $2.1 billion, to be paid to the fami-

Old Town streets surrounded by ranch land and, at a distance, the Pechanga Indian reservation.

Over the next two decades, a succession of developers crafted a growth plan for the new community they had dubbed “Rancho California.” As that unfolded, a ribbon of concrete and steel was taking shape as Interstate 15.

Growth surged and traffic congestion came on the heels of the highway construction, key factors in the push to form a city in the county’s remote southwest corner. A string of other fastgrowing communities – Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar and Canyon Lake among them – followed Temecula’s lead amid a series of development booms in those areas.

Moore said the night in which much of the 30-member City Committee had gathered to track the outcome of the incorporation vote was “probably the biggest day of my life.” He said the high level of voter support to form the new city was “absolutely unheard of” in California at that time.

The quarter century since incorporation has seen Temecula’s population surge from 27,099 to 106,300, according to a city report.

Its employment base has nearly quadrupled during that period to about 43,000 jobs today.

The number of traffic signals within the 30-square-mile city mushroomed from three to 130. Its restaurant count has leapfrogged from less than 10 to more than 310.

Temecula’s annual general fund revenue – which pays for police, fire protection, planning and other key services – has swelled from $12 million at the beginning to nearly $62 million this fiscal year.

A community opinion survey released in August showed that 95 percent of the city’s residents rate its quality of life as good or excellent. Nearly that level of residents, 93 percent, is satisfied with the city’s performance in providing municipal services.

The prospects of such a favorable evolution were referred to in the prescient letter that Peters had penned for a December 1989 edition of the Temecula Valley Business Journal. That three-page letter was addressed to whoever was to be Temecula’s mayor on the 25th anniversary of the city’s formation.

In addition to the business publication, Peters intended a copy of the letter to be placed in the time capsule slated to be buried at the shopping center. He kept a file copy, and read it aloud at the Nov. 1 dinner. But first, Peters asked his audience to picture themselves in Temecula as it stood on the cusp of becoming a city.

Peters began his letter by describing the City Council as “the caretakers of the soul of Temecula.” And that responsibility comes with the aspirations, failures and accomplishments of generations

of residents, a body of toil he characterized as “the sum total of Temecula history,” he wrote.

“Like a brilliant, many-faceted jewel, Temecula glows with a rare natural beauty,” Peters wrote.

If the dreams of past generations were to materialize, Peters continued: “Temecula in your day will be a thriving commercial industrial center with pleasant residential areas, roads over which it is a treat to drive, a center of culture and learning, an Old Town that reveres and preserves its place in history and shares its significance with each succeeding generation, a nearby wine country known worldwide and protected from urban encroachment.”

Peters’ letter pondered whether politics, rivalries and factional disputes would grip the city of the future and whether future council members will “serve with humility” and wisely use the power of their office.

“It is our fervent prayer that you, in 2014, will continue to receive the Lord’s preferential treatment,” Peters wrote. He ended his letter

by characterizing the council’s work following incorporation as a relay race in which successive generations would build on the efforts of those who went before.

“As you get ready to receive the baton, let civic pride – not greed – motivate you to move forward.

From silent, unseen bleachers, we cheer you on. God be with you.”

Many of the audience members were unaware of Peters’ letter, or the time capsule for that matter, prior to the dinner presentation.

Rebecca Farnbach, vice president of the historical society and an organizer of the event, said she and her husband had “tears in our eyes” as Peters read his letter.

“We were so moved,” Farnbach said.

As the dinner wound down, Peters and the Moores were approached by audience members and thanked for their contributions to the city. Peters was asked if his 25-year-old letter was written more as a prayer than a prediction of future success.

“It was,” said Peters, 83. “I really wanted it to be that way.”

lies and survivors of the attack.

The other goal for the ceremony — besides bringing citizens and veterans together out of compassion and sincerity for each other — was to bring the local veteran groups together and form a stronger bond moving forward.

Chambers hopes to inspire the veteran groups to become a voice to local government.

“Veterans need to get empowered to continue to march in society and be productive citizens,” said Chambers.

Chambers hopes these ceremonies will help introduce the benefits of the American Legion to veterans and ensure they know they are not alone in the fight. w w w. m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

Menifee teenager raises funds for foster children with car cruise

Cars line up for the Cruise for the Kids

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News A local teenager has raised the bar for meeting high school community service hours. Josh Madrid, 16, is a junior at Paloma Valley High School in Menifee who has a passion for cars and helping those less fortunate.

Madrid joined forces with his friend and classmate Isaiah Valdez and together the two teenagers created, organized and kicked off the Cruise for the Kids fundraiser.

On Saturday, Nov. 1, more than 200 car owners — driving exotics such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris, GT-Rs, Maseratis, McLarens and Corvette Stingrays — participated in the cruise.

The event kicked off in Lake Elsinore where Inland Valley residents gathered before driving up the Ortega Highway to meet Orange County car enthusiasts in Dana Point. Once the Inland Valley and coastal community car buffs rendezvoused, they continued their cruise north along the Coast Highway 101 to Huntington Beach.

Local beauty queens Miss Elite Menifee, Ivette Barnett and Miss Pre-teen Murrieta, Arianna Madrid helped collect donations during the kickoff. The event raised close

to $1,000 with more donations coming through in the mail.

The proceeds for Cruise for the Kids will be going to a local nonprofit, All About Kids. Murrieta resident Donna Wray, founder of All About Kids, has fostered over 750 kids over the years.

Wray just turned 60 and is now retired but still works in the community to donate toys, clothes, diapers, food and other products the families may need. She does an amazing job making sure foster kids and adoptive families get support and love.

Wray also donates her time with the Riverside County Department of Social Services helping foster children and families who want to either adopt or only foster.

“Joshua has gone above and beyond what he needed to do for community service,” said Wray.

“What 16-year-old child does this?”

Madrid’s mother Whanda Madrid said, “Joshua is always finding time to help others. I found out after the fact last year he used his own money to buy gift cards

and handed them out to kids in school that he knew didn’t have money or even food to eat during the holidays.”

Joshua Madrid was raised seeing his family help foster children.

“Helping foster children is close to my heart,” said Joshua Madrid.

“I hope to do this car cruise again in the spring and have it become a bi-annual fundraising event.”

Madrid and his event partner Valdez had no budget to promote the car cruise, so they turned to social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram to spread the word.

“It took us a few months to pull it all together and a lot more than the 40 hours of community service needed for school,” said Joshua Madrid.

The two teens also had food and drinks donated for the drivers the morning of the cruise.

Joshua who plays on the varsity basketball team has been an honor student since the third grade. He is currently taking all AP classes and plans to attend UCLA to study medicine.

Beatles vs. Stones tribute show comes to Old Town Temecula Theater on Jan. 11 The debate between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago. The argument at the time, and one that still persists, was that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? These two legendary bands will engage in an on-stage throw down - a musical “shoot out” if you will - on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 2 p.m. at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater courtesy of tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash.

Tickets are regularly $25/$30, but between November 11 and 13, you can take $5 off all tickets.

Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the county›s top Beatles tribute bands.

With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career. They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Jumping Jack Flash, who offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion.

Where did the idea for the show

come from?

“Music fans never had a chance to see the Beatles and the Rolling Stones perform on the same marquee,” said Young Hutchison, who plays “Keith Richards” in the show. “Now, music aficionados can watch this debate play out on stage.”

The Temecula show is part of a 110-stop tour of the U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico and Canada and has been touring since 2011.The show also performs long-term residencies for a number of the Harrah’s Casino properties. The production includes some of the more popular songs from the two rock pioneers and covers the scope of their musical careers, although the set list for Jumping Jack Flash usually includes Rolling Stones songs up to the 1980s.

“They may have more pop songs, but we kill it on the live show.

They’re not even in the same league,” said Joey Infante, who performs as Jagger.

During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each, trading places in quick set changes and ending the night with an all-out encore involving both bands. The band members have their outfits custom-made, since avid fans know

exactly what the Beatles and Stones wore onstage during different time periods in their careers. There’s a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well.

“Without Beatlemania, the Stones might still be a cover band in London,” said Jesse Wilder, who plays ‘George Harrison.’ “There’s no question that the Beatles set the standard.”

The audience naturally enjoys top shelf tributes to two legendary bands in the same evening. Like Orange County Register said: "If you see only one tribute show, see this one... smart and loads of fun."

“It’s just a fun time and a cool back-and-forth nonstop show,” Wilder said.

“We’re going to bring it all. It’s going to be an afternoon of highenergy music,” said Infante.

Six alternating power sets with the two bands coming together on stage for an amazing encore makes this show a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Tickets may be purchased by phoning (866) 653-8696, online at www.temeculatheater.org or visiting the theatre box office at 42051 Main Street in Temecula. The show is appropriate for all ages.

impossible to decide what to taste.

From the delectable Karl Strauss Amber Ale this reporter has loved since living in San Diego, to the palate tempting pull of the much discussed “Single Hop Mosaic Session Ale,” we decided on a sampler flight of tastes: Karl Strauss Amber Ale, Red Trolley Ale, the herbaceous single hop Mosaic Session Ale, and the mellow citrus sampling of Tower 10 IPA. At the mention of an appetizer, all hands decided on the Beer Basted Pretzels with hot mustard and beer flavored cheese dipping sauces. The Karl Strauss Amber Ale brushed atop the salty pretzels left a sweet, yet crisp perfection on the yeasty pretzels. Perfectly accompanied with the spicy tang of mustard sauce, and of course, with the first samples of Karl Strauss Amber Ale. Specializing in beer and food pairings, listen to your server if

fternoon in Temecula is the perfect time to sample the latest menu items from Temecula’s Karl Strauss Brewing Company.

With patio heaters keeping fall breezes at bay, the open, rolled-up garage doors, and the industrial decor, featuring brown-glass beer bottles in both fixtures and wall displays, the restaurant was full, but remained ample with seating for a party of four.

At the bar, tap handles boast every flavor of Karl Strauss ale imaginable, reminding Temecula’s launching “Beer Country” that Karl Strauss has mastered the art of brewing since its late 1980s inception.

One thing that needs no improvement are the varied menu choices, including the changing “Monthly beer and food pairings” that Karl Strauss Brewing Company fans have come to love.

Since it was lunch, seafood ruled the day at our table. The Seared Ahi Salad – an organic spring mix of sashimi-grade ahi, pickled ginger, crispy wontons, chopped tomatoes, sesame seeds, firecracker sauce for zing, with the sweet citrus vinaigrette and sliced mushrooms to mellow your taste buds – was delicious.

Grilled Tilapia Fish Tacos, complete with rice and black beans, were summarily devoured. The tacos included spice rubbed Tilapia, mango fire roasted salsa, cotija cheese, cilantro, chipotle sour cream, and long grain rice. Once again, samples of proper beer and menu item pairings were offered, allowing a complete exploration of flavors with the best that Karl Strauss has to offer. Pintail Ale compliments fish, with refreshing grapefruit and light on the hops, sizzling carbonation for the taste buds.

Desserts with beer pairings? We must admit, we were a tad dubious.

Health

Whooping cough reported in the Valley Michelle Mears-Gerst Writer Parents with children in the Temecula Unified School District were sent home letters of pertussis (whooping cough) being reported in the school district. Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by bacteria and may easily spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing.

“Your child is at a higher risk of developing pertussis if she/he has never been immunized for the disease or has a weakened immune system,” said District Nurse, Rose Kult.

“Even if you have been immunized, the best practice in preventing the spread of any disease is basic hand washing, and coughing into your sleeve, and using hand sanitizers,” said a family doctor with the Rancho Family Medical Group in Menifee, Eric Madrid.

Madrid said his office in Menifee has treated a few cases of whooping cough as well.

Early symptoms of pertussis may include a runny nose, sneezing, slight fever, and a mild cough.

“The cough gradually becomes more severe turning into a coughing

spasm with an inspiratory whoop (whooping cough) which may lead to vomiting, difficulty breathing, extreme fatigue and sweating spells.

Severe coughing can last for weeks to months,” said Kult.

The vaccination for pertussis is a series of five shots given to children over a period of years ranging from two months old to 12 years of age.

“Adults should ask their doctor for a Tdap shot every 10 years,” said Madrid.

Tdap is a three-in-one vaccine for

the prevention of tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), these diseases are caused by bacteria. Diphtheria and pertussis are spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing. Tetanus enters the body through cuts, scratches or wounds.

Before vaccines, the United States saw as many as 200,000 cases a year of diphtheria and pertussis, and hundreds of cases of tetanus. Since vaccination began,

tetanus and diphtheria have dropped by about 99% and pertussis by about 80%.

Pertussis is on the rise again.

The CDC reports in 1965 there were only 10,000 reported cases in the United States but in 2013, that number soared to 28,000.

“Both mothers and fathers who are expecting a newborn should make sure they have updated their Tdaps as well as grandparents,” said Madrid. If you are not sure if you have been vaccinated or when your

last Tdap was, talk to your doctor.”

The district is asking parents and guardians to notify the school if their doctor suspects their child is ill with pertussis. Children diagnosed with pertussis should stay home until completion of five days of antibiotic therapy to prevent spreading the disease to others.

For additional information, refer to the Centers for Disease Control website www.cdc.gov or the Riverside County Health Department website www.rivcoph.org.

‘HipHop Grampop’ shares keys to a long and happy life in unbeatable rap

“HipHop Grampop” Howard Tangler and his wife Betty were all smiles following his rap song performance at the Sun City Friendship Club’s October meeting.

Laura Rathbun Writer Life Coach Howard Tangler of Sun City has become known this past year as the “HipHop Grampop” after writing a rap song about how to live a long and happy life.

His rapping can be viewed on YouTube and he’s under consideration to be a guest on “The Steve Harvey Show.”

Tangler, an 84-year-old greatgrandfather, retired aeronautical engineer and former Dale Carnegie trainer, wrote and performed the rap song for his and his wife Betty’s 60th wedding anniversary earlier this year.

“I wanted to do something different at the celebration of our 60th wedding anniversary,” he said. “I wanted it to be fun and inspirational, so as I was putting down

my thoughts it started to sound like a rap. It didn’t take long to create it, and I have been editing it and playing with it ever since.”

Everyone enjoyed the threeminute rap song at the anniversary celebration and Tangler has performed it at the Sun City Civic Association’s Players and Friendship clubs.

As a life coach, Tangler has helped people lead happier, healthier and more productive lives for over 50 years and he’s still at it.

“I recently helped two people get out of depression and I helped one couple save their marriage after they thought divorce was their only option,” he said.

Tangler attributes his happy and healthy life to positive thinking every day and has a “2 for 21” system with five steps to help people improve their lives. Those steps are:

Laura Rathbun photo

1. Live according to this idea: It doesn’t matter what happened.

What matters is what you think about what happened. That makes the difference.

2. Start thinking in a new way. To start thinking: “I want to change. I can change. I believe in change.”

Believe you will succeed in changing.

3. Listen to what you’re saying because the mind is a computer and it’s programmed every day by what you think and what you say.

So you need to pay attention to what you say.

4. Repeat daily positive affirmations many times during the day.

Apply your affirmation correctly: First, it has to be personal – something you believe. Second, it has to be positive: “I’m getting better all the time at remembering names” not “I’m going to stop forgetting

names.” Third is it’s got to be present tense – it can’t be “Someday I’ll be good at this.” It has to apply immediately. It has to be personal, present tense and positive.

5.It takes 21 days of daily repeated exercise, repeating specific positive statements to yourself to change your attitude.

“Anybody can do this!” Tangler exclaimed. “Anybody can. It’s just a matter of will because it does take some dedication.”

Tangler said he’s living proof of how his system brings happiness and health.

“My wife, Betty, and I have been married 60 years and we’re happy every moment. A lot of that is because of who we are and what we think,” he said. “I have a daily affirmation that I use: I’m happy, because the time to be happy is every moment. You can’t decide now to be happy in the past, and you shouldn’t wait to be happy in the future. The time to be happy is right now! And, the second thing is I’m grateful for my past. I can’t change my past, but who I am today is because of my past, so I’m grateful for everything that happened in the past that brought me to today.”

Tangler had many illnesses as a child, but amazingly hasn’t been sick for the past 48 years. “I had colds and flu every year. I got mumps, measles and chicken pox.

I had a serious mastoid operation when I was 5 and an appendectomy at 12,” he said. “That pattern continued into adult life till I was

36 when I came down with a particularly bad case of the flu and was bed-ridden for three days. At that time, I decided that I didn’t want to have any more illnesses like that, and I changed my thinking.”

When Tangler was a teenager, his parents took a course in positive thinking, which he initially dismissed, but then decided to try.

The positive thinking ultimately changed his life.

“I came up with an affirmation that says: ‘I have total immunity to all harmful germs, viruses, diseases and bacteria.’ I repeated that affirmation 50 times each morning, noon and night until I became a new habit of thinking. I am now 84 years old, and I have not had an illness of any kind for over 48 years.”

After his last annual physical in September, Tangler’s doctor said all his test results were normal. “I take no medications and I have no aches or pains in any joints. Betty got the same result,” he said.

Tangler stays in good shape physically and mentally with regular exercise and social activities. He bike rides three times a week and bowls once a week in a league. He’s also active in his church and some social clubs.

“Train your mind to think positive, and you will live a healthy and happy life,” he said.

Tangler can be contacted at HipHopGrampop.com or tangler@ earthlink.net. His rap song can be viewed at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=TdBhhwed9U4.

Excerpts from the HipHop Grampop’s rap song: Now here’s the key to a life of success,

By what you think, And what you say.

A lifetime of joy, filled with happiness.

You ARE what you think about Every day that you live.

Your mind’s a computer.

It’s programmed every day.

So, starting right now think POSITIVE!

Health City leaders speak out for domestic violence awareness

City Hall glows purple to raise awareness for domestic violence.

Supporters of S.A.F.E. Front row from left to right,Temecula Chief of Police Jeff Kubel, DA Mike Hestrin, Board Secretary Jan Duran, Advocate Colleen Hughes, S.A.F.E. Executive Director Melissa Donaldson, Mayor Maryann Edwards, Councilman Chuck Washington and Board President Rhonda Reinke. Back row, unidentified supporter, Carol Youmans, Benilda Hestrin, Pat Whitney, Caludia Thunnell, Patti Drew, Elizabeth Arreola, Debra Flennaugh and Kassen Klein.

By Bianca Hollins “They didn’t mean it.” “They won’t do it again.” “All families have their drama so don’t meddle in their business.”

There are many attempts to justify not getting involved in domestic violence cases. Most believe it wrong to pry into the personal workings of a family or perhaps mistakenly vilify a person for a momentary lapse in judgment, but what about the consequence to the community and the voices that are silenced?

Lit from its steps to the highest tower in purple, city hall received

special guests Monday, Oct. 27 to raise awareness for domestic violence prevention efforts in the city. Sharing personal stories and statistics to illustrate the reach of family violence even in our safe borders of Temecula, S.A.F.E. (Alternatives for Everyone) executive director Melissa Donaldson spoke before Mayor Maryann Edwards, Councilman Chuck Washington and members of the public about ways to get involved and encourage others to seek help.

As the first employee and Executive Director of S.A.F.E. since 2001, Ms. Donaldson has seen the transformation of the conversation

around domestic violence from being framed as a women’s issue to one focused on ways to empower youth and families. Ms. Donaldson shared that “S.A.F.E. started in 1998 thanks to the Temecula Valley Women’s Club and Carol Niles, S.A.F.E. Founder, recognizing that there was a need for resources and services along with participation of citizens within Temecula to respond to a growing problem.”

While many are comforted by the knowledge that Temecula and Murrieta are safe communities she notes “most don’t know that the statistics do not always accurately reflect the numbers of domestic violence

incidents. They are not always categorized separately from assault and battery across the country or other forms of violence” and this further distances the community from understanding its impact.

Agreeing that transparency leads to action District Attorney elect Mike Hestrin states that by understanding its prevalence and educating youth and law enforcement you have “one area of crime where you can effectively prevent murders.”

Youth initiatives such as S.A.F.E. and others are important “because educating a new generation, going to high schools and speaking about teen violence especially with regard to dating, stalking, etc. can change behaviors before they escalate” and aid law enforcement and prosecutors in preventing tragedies.

Ms. Donaldson likewise believes some programs including their Art 4 the Soul youth programs can be an outlet for “kids harmed by family violence to express themselves by being hands on, for example painting and using materials for other projects.” Kids are able to

combat the “shame they feel because they know we understand their circumstances and accept them and give them a safe place to share or not. Art is one medium where you don’t need words, just let expression flow.” S.A.F.E. offers many other services for young people as they firmly believe we must intervene and prevent violence to make a lasting difference for the family and their future families.

The damage of domestic violence manifests in so many subtle ways that it can be overwhelming to consider the social programs that would be impacted and economically empowered by addressing an issue that cuts across class, race, gender and socioeconomic barriers.

Conversation on exactly how to change the dialogue around family violence is ongoing as Temecula grows, but S.A.F.E. and its leaders pledge to enact change to benefit everyone.

For more information about S.A.F.E. and ways to get involved please call 951-587-3900 or visit www.safefamiliesca.org.

MWD approves three Skinner rehabilitation projects Joe Naiman The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California approved three rehabilitation projects for Lake Skinner and the Robert A. Skinner Water Treatment Plant.

MWD’s October 14 board approval also appropriated $960,000 for the modifications to the chlorine injection system at the lake’s outlet tower, the modifications to the chemical mixing system at the plant’s finished water reservoir, and the design activities to replace the administration building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

The Lake Skinner outlet tower is the primary means of drawing water from the lake for treatment at the Skinner plant or for conveyance to downstream users. The downstream users include the Fallbrook Public Utility District, Rainbow Municipal Water District and Rancho California Water District.

The outlet tower was built in 1973 and has four levels of outlet ports that allow water to enter or exit the tower from different lake elevations.

A chlorine diffuser system to control Asiatic clams, which were accumulating at the bottom of the tower and the lake outlet conduit, was installed inside the outlet tower at the bottom ports in the late 1980s. Quagga mussels were discovered at Lake Skinner in 2007, and the existing chlorine diffuser has not been effective in controlling quagga mussels within the upper portion of the tower. During a 2013 shutdown of the outlet tower MWD staff observed that the original chlorine diffuser has corroded after 25 years of continuous use and the chlorine solution flows have been

misdirected due to the corrosion and have damaged the interior concrete of the outlet tower.

MWD staff recommended that the damage to the chlorine diffuser at the bottom ports be repaired and that a chlorine diffuser be added at the top ports to prevent quagga mussels from attaching to the outlet tower walls, valves, and valve actuators. The project approved October 14 will install two new chlorine diffusers with manifolds, valves, flow meters, associated piping, and a chlorine leak detection system and will also repair the tower’s damaged concrete wall.

MWD staff will perform both the design and the construction work for the outlet tower modifications.

The planned design activities include surveying the interior walls to map the extent of the concrete damage, preparing construction drawings, and procuring materials.

The planned construction tasks include installation of temporary scaffolding, concrete repairs, and installation of piping, equipment and instrumentation. MWD expects the modifications to be complete by November 2015.

The October 14 board action authorizes the design, procurement, and construction to modify the chlorine injection system and perform the concrete repairs. The MWD board appropriated $550,000, which is the total estimated cost. The funding will cover an estimated $368,000 for construction costs, $52,000 for final design, $30,000 for shutdown operations, project management, and preparation of record drawings, and $86,000 for contingencies.

from northern California and delivers that water to the Eastern Municipal Water District, the Western Municipal Water District, and the San Diego County Water Authority.

The Skinner treatment plant began operation in 1976 with a capacity of 150 million gallons per day (mgd).

It has been expanded four times and currently has a capacity of 630 mgd.

The chemical storage and feed systems at the Skinner plant were upgraded in 2007. Chlorine, ammonia, caustic soda, and fluorosilicic acid are now injected sequentially at various locations along the reservoir inlet conduit. The chlorine is injected first to provide chlorine contact time, and the ammonia is then injected to form a chloramine residual in the reservoir and distribution system.

A deviation from the optimal chlorine-to-ammonia ratio can cause unstable disinfection residuals and create undesirable taste and odor conditions. In recent years the fin-

ished water reservoir inlet conduit has experienced increasing instances of poor hydraulic mixing of chlorine and ammonia, which has resulted in inadequate disinfection and a chloramine decay in the distribution system as well as potential taste and odor problems.

The installation of a chemical mixing system will provide reliable mixing of chlorine and ammonia prior to reaching the finished water reservoir. MWD staff will perform the design and construction work. The pre-construction activities include design of the inlet conduit penetration and diffuser system, preparation of construction drawings, and procurement of materials. The planned construction work includes modifying the existing chemical injection piping, preparing record drawings, and fabricating and installing new piping, diffusers, and equipment.

MWD expects that the work will be completed by November 2015.

The October 14 MWD appropriation of $335,000 for the chemical mixing modifications is also the estimated cost including $56,000 for contingency. The remaining funding will cover $208,000 for construction, $31,000 for final design, $23,000 for project management and preparation of record drawings, and $17,000 for field investigations including survey and verification of site utilities.

The Skinner plant’s administration building houses a water quality laboratory, a control room, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) servers, staff offices, and administrative support. A properlyfunctioning HVAC system is a necessity to keep samples and calibrated laboratory equipment at appropriate temperatures and to provide ventilation air to fume hoods used by laboratory technicians as well as a convenience comfort for MWD staff.

The HVAC system in the administration building was installed in 1976 when the plant was constructed. The system includes roof-mounted heating and air conditioning units. Over time the frequency of needed repairs has increased, and currently more than ten repairs annually are required to maintain normal operation conditions. The roof-mounted units with 30-ton and 15-ton capacity break down frequently, and the multi-zone

system is obsolete and cannot be refurbished. No direct replacement units are available, and the system also does not meet current energy efficiency standards.

MWD staff investigated several alternative technologies and configurations to replace the HVAC system.

Both a higher-efficiency volume control system similar to the current configuration and a more conventional chilled water system would meet building needs and current energy efficiency standards. A volume control system would be customized to use the existing ductwork with minor mechanical and structural modifications, and the estimated construction cost range is $360,000 to $400,000.

A chilled water system would require a multi-stage air handling unit, individual zone temperature control systems, extensive modifications to the existing ductwork, and extensive structural reinforcement of the impacted portion of the roof. The estimated cost for a chilled water system is more than $1 million. Not only is a new volume control system less expensive than the chilled water system, but the volume control system would also be less disruptive to plant operations.

The scope of work for the HVAC system replacement includes replacing the two units, modifying the controls and existing electrical system, replacing the exterior ductwork, local reinforcement of the roof structure supporting the HVAC units, and repair of flashing and building finishes. The actual construction and installation will be performed by a contractor, and MWD staff will return to the board in the future with a proposed construction contract.

MWD staff will prepare drawings and specifications and will also be involved in the bid process.

The total estimated cost for the HVAC system replacement, including the construction and installation phase, is $500,000 to $550,000. The $75,000 appropriated for the design work covers $35,000 for final design, $27,000 for permitting, project management, and the bidding process, $5,000 for field investigations of the existing electrical system and roof structure, and $8,000 for contingencies. MWD expects the final design to be completed by March 2015.

Annual Lake Elsinore Grand Prix kicks up some dirt for the 46th year

Riders line up at the starting line for the 40+ and 50+ beginner, novice and intermediate class during the 2014 Lake Elsinore Grand Prix on Nov. 8.

The Lake Elsinore Grand Prix concludes its 46th year of operation. Roughly 1,000 riders participated in the event that has a long, rich history with the City of Lake Elsinore.

Riders who couldn’t make it up the steep section known as the “widow maker” line up off the course on the opposing hill where they get a straight shot at making another attempt up the steep section of the course on Mountain View Ave. in Lake Elsinore.

Lake Elsinore Grand Prix “sweeper” Mario Zavala prepares to make his round around the course on Nov. 8. The Grand Prix sweepers volunteer their time to help any downed riders, check to make sure the course is clear after each race class concludes and for any other assistance needed along the course.

Fall sports teams wrap up their regular seasons, setting the table for the Playoffs JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor The time has come for athletes from the fall sports programs to either prepare for battle as the quest for a CIF-SS Championship begins, hang it up for the year, or gear up for a winter or spring sport. For some teams, depending on their regular season schedules and the length of the post season, the battle began last week, but at the time of print here is a look at what has happened and a glance at what is going down this week for the local teams.

2014 CIF Southern Section Ford Girls Volleyball Playoffs (Presented by Farmers Insurance) A total of 304 teams qualified to compete in the divisional playoff brackets. The single-elimination tournament will culminate in a two-day, two-location, 10-match extravaganza for Championship Finals.

2014 CIF Southern Section Ford Girls Golf Playoffs (Presented by Farmers Insurance) The Great Oak Girls Golf team took fourth place in the CIF Golf Championships and Monika Poomcharoen from Great Oak placed fourth overall in individuals. Baylee Barckley from Temescal Canyon also made the cut and both will play in the WSCGA So Cal Girls Golf Championship Tournament on Nov. 13.

2014 CIF Southern Section Ford Girls Tennis Playoffs (Presented by Farmers Insurance) Murrieta Valley has been the team to team beat this year, scratch that, for the past seven years, blanking their competition this season going 19-0 overall and 10-0 in league. Coach Trent Warren has led the Wolfpack girls to seven straight League Championship titles and last year’s team was CIF Finalists. Junior Emily Maxfield (40-0) is ranked #12 in California and #63 in nation according to tennis recruiting network and junior Jovana Kuljanin, who came in new this year, held the #7 ranking in the state of Nevada. Team Captain, Senior Madeline Sweeney, has held 1st team all county doubles 3 years in a row and was team MVP last year. Sophomore Kelsey Lajom holds the #1 ranking in 14 & under satellite and partners with team captain Madeline Sweeney who are 1st in doubles with a 55-5 record. Add sophomore Alana Andrews to the mix, who is #2 in singles, and it’s no wonder this group controlled the courts this season.

In the post season so far, Vista Murrieta lost in the first round to Laguna Beach and Temecula Valley, who made it to the second round by defeating South Hills 13-5, could not get past Beverly Hills, dropping a close match 10-8.

Murrieta Valley has held their own the entire time making quick work of Cate in the first round, 126, Simi Valley in the second round, 16-2, and Sage Hill in the quarterfinals, 15-3. The Nighthawks are one of the final four teams remaining and face Laguna Beach in the semi-finals on 11/12 at 2 pm.

2014 CIF Southern Section Ford Boys Water Polo Playoffs (Presented by Farmers Insurance) The Southwestern and Sunbelt League teams begin round 1 on Wednesday 11/12.

VN: Coach, thanks for inviting us out. We know your program has been hard at work paving some new paths, what is the outlook for the spring of 2015?

Coach Wade: “The outlook for 2015 is positive. I think we are moving in the right direction, but this is tough league with some of the best players and coaches in the country. My goodness, that TV team from last year was extremely talented. To win in this league is not at all easy. A team as talented as Vista Murrieta started off 0-3 last year in league. Great Oak, of course, won the league. They have quite a coaching staff over there.

I believe Chaparral led the league in hitting and finished next to last.

We finished beneath Chaparral after beating them twice. However, we can only control how we compete, and right now we have a great mindset to do that. So, the outlook for 2015 is good.”

VN: Can you give us some scouting on what you think your strengths and weaknesses are right now?

Coach Wade: “It’s tough to know our strengths and weaknesses on the field before we face the

VN: Is there a team to beat in this upcoming season?

Coach Wade: “The team to beat? I think every team in this league realizes the team NOT to beat is itself. The game is hard enough to compete with. If the question is about who the best team in the league will be, I have no idea.

Let’s go with the defending league champions, CIF champions, or the highly regarded Loara Tournament champions. Those are three different teams in this league.

VN: How is Mesa treating you?

Coach Wade: “I love Mesa.

It’s a special place that truly emphasizes being great people. The support from our principal, Steve Ellis; filmmaking teacher, Timeree Kristell; custodian, Kenny Armstrong; and other teachers and staff has made me feel that, in addition to our boosters, we have a family that spreads throughout Murrieta.”

VN: OK Coach, last question, do you have any players that will be difference makers?

Coach Wade: “Baseball is a team game, though everyone likes to think it’s one or a couple of players who make a difference. I cannot wrap my mind around the question of which players will make a difference. To win, they all have to make a difference. Good at bats, balls knocked down, pitches received well, opportunities seized, pressure conquered, great routes to balls hit, execution of pitches, being totally committed to the moment, etc. will stand out to me more than any one

or two players’ stat lines.

I’ve been around the game long enough to know that if one guy is getting more attention than the team, we are in trouble.

That being said, we have some players, because of their extremely hard work and individual effort in the classroom and on the field, who have been getting a great deal of attention from those recruiters and scouts at the next level. While I am dedicated to seeing those players move on in the game, I believe that they need to focus on the opportunity in front of them now, winning a league and/or CIF title with their buddies. Having won a few titles as a player and a coach, I understand that individual success is not as fulfilling as team success.

I think about bullpen pitcher, Tim Lincecum, and starting pitcher, Clayton Kershaw (two multiple Cy Young Award winners) having the opportunity to trade places with each other. I’m pretty sure Kershaw would trade his multiple Cy Young Awards for World Championships.

If he wouldn’t, not sure he’d make our team.”

VN: Thanks Coach, good luck this season!

Mis sion

It often takes a bit of time to build successful sports programs at the high school level and it’s no secret that Murrieta Mesa has seen their fair share of rough patches since opening the doors to freshman and sophomores in 2009. None the less, there have been some competitive teams throughout the past few years and their athletes continue to persevere and more and more college recruits are coming out of the Rams hallways these days that is for sure.

This upcoming baseball season the Rams will be featuring a fresh new face, well quite a few actually, as new head coach Bryn Wade, formerly of the Lakeside Lancers, will be bringing on almost an entire new staff to help him begin the building phase.

Current Vista Murrieta head coach, Matt Mosiello, first took the reins at Mesa before turning the Broncos into the powerhouse program it is today, but according to Matt, “the young squads were having a hard time keeping up out of the gate,” as the Rams put up only 19 wins in the first three seasons with Mosiello as the coach. Frank Castillon then took over getting the Rams to 20 wins over two seasons and now with Bryn in control, the present day squad is very optimistic about their future.

And why not be optimistic?

Wade was a 49th round draft pick of the Angels in June of 1998 and

competition in this league. Off the field, we have a group of great kids who have a great bond together.

One of my favorite experiences that we have had was the program’s traveling a few hours to Simi Valley to visit the baseball exhibition at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The kids were immersed in the history of the game, a time when competition was fun and determination and grit were as important as or more important than WHIP or Wins Above Replacement. The Halloween scrimmage was great too.”

Eight-year-old Temecula boy Southwestern League Cross sinks hole-in-one, claims Country Finals first tournament victory

Eight-year-old Samuel Amoroso of Temecula recorded his first-ever hole-in-one while participating in a Valley Junior Golf Association tournament at The Country Club at Soboba Springs.

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor Some golfers may play for years before ever acing a hole and some may play their whole lives and never even come close, but despite that element of the game, those that play golf, do it because they love the challenge that the sport creates.

Choosing the right swing and knowing what and how to perform when confronted with various challenges is a lot of fun in and of itself and to do so at a competitive level comes with skill and a lot of practice and patience, but to ace a hole and win a tournament, at the age of eight, well that’s something only few have ever accomplished in the same day. Take Tiger Woods for instance, one of the best golfers in the world, he was just six years old when he got his first hole-in-one and was seven when he won his first junior level tournament.

Eight-year-old Samuel Amoroso of Temecula hopes to be like the many greats before him by adding his name to the PGA tour in the years to come as he recently recorded his first-ever hole-in-one while participating in a Valley Junior Golf Association tournament at “The Country Club at Soboba

Springs.” He aced the par three, 105-yard eighth hole in route to a score of 37 and his first tournament victory.

Samuel, who has been playing golf since he was two, was playing in only his sixth competitive tournament. The Valley Junior Golf Association tournaments are run

by Ricky Fowler’s former coach, Lou Skovron and his wife, Valarie.

Khalil named to allRMAC academic team Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent After graduating from Vista Murrieta High School in 2011, Zayde Khalil enrolled at Western New Mexico University, where he plays football for the Mustangs and is majoring in sociology.

WNMU plays in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, and Khalil has been named to this year’s RMAC all-academic first team. “He’s just been a very reliable guy,” said WNMU head coach Adam Clark. “Does a great job in the classroom.”

Khalil took a 3.51 grade point average into his senior year. The RMAC all-academic team requirements include a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 prior to the start of the football season, and the player must have completed two consecutive semesters or three quarters at their institution. That eliminates fresh-

men from all-academic eligibility, but Khalil has earned RMAC allacademic honors each year since his 2012 sophomore season.

Although the all-academic honors are given for activity off the field, Clark noted that Khalil’s academic excellence translates into on-field intangibles. “He has that ability to do that,” Clark said.

“He’s a leader. He does a great job by example,” Clark said.

Clark noted that Khalil is trustworthy as well as reliable. “That’s what we want,” Clark said.

Khalil has been a starting offensive lineman for the Mustangs since the start of his sophomore year. He also started two games as a true freshman. “A very tough, hard-nosed guy,” Clark said.

Khalil was a three-year starter for Vista Murrieta and earned allSouthwestern League honors in his junior and senior high school seasons.

Chaparral’s Head Football Coach resigns Just days after wrapping up the regular season, Chaparral High School’s head football coach, Ryan Tukua, announced that he would be resigning effective Nov. 10. Tukua served as head varsity coach for four seasons and led the Pumas to three CIF playoff berths. Ryan was also the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach during the 2009 CIF Championship season.

Coach Tukua cited his commitment to spend more quality time with his three young daughters and wife, Cheryl, as the reason for his resignation, but will continue as a teacher at the school.

It didn’t take long for Garrett, age 8, to jump to his feet and race into his dad’s waiting arms.

As Garrett clung to his father, Principal Pam Roden explained to the assembled students, parents and school staff that Sgt. Welsh was returning from an 11-month deployment. Welsh, who has served in the Marine Corps for 27 years, was returning from his fifth combat deployment. He was one of nearly 100 Marines and sailors who returned to U.S. soil on Thursday with the notable distinction of having helped to close out U.S. military operations in Afghanistan’s Helmand province and prepare the Afghanistan National Security Forces to assume responsibility for Helmand and Nimroz provinces.

Sgt. Welsh, who was in charge of the logistics of bringing home the troops, equipment and resources, said, “It’s a historic moment.

Between the United States and the coalition, the biggest thing we did is set the Afghan people up for success to govern themselves and take the next step for their own democracy.”

The next stop was Shivela Middle School for Sgt. Welsh, his wife Stacy and Garrett where they surprised eighth grader McKenzie Welsh. While Principal Mark Pettingill went into the classroom and took McKenzie aside to distract her, Sgt. Welsh, Stacy and Garrett slipped into the classroom. When McKenzie turned to go back to her seat, Sgt. Welsh said to his daughter, “Hey are you having a good day?” Even though McKenzie and Garrett were expecting their father to return home around Thanksgiving, McKenzie appeared to be in disbelief as she made her way into her father’s arms.

Welsh was applauded by the students, parents and staff at E. Hale Curran and again in McKenzie’s classroom. He said the warm welcome home and expressions of appreciation he received at both schools was typical of the support shown to military families in the community. Welsh told a TV cameraman who filmed the reunion at E. Hale Curran, “It’s a very special moment. Everything I do is for my kids, my family and for this country.”

Education World War II Veteran among 17 set to receive high school diplomas at Eighth Annual Operation Recognition serving his country almost every single day.

On the day after Veterans Day, (Wednesday, Nov. 12), Joe Aviles will step into the role of the distinguished honoree when he and 16 other veterans of foreign wars are presented with a high school diploma at the 8th Annual Operation Recognition to be held at the Moreno Valley Parks & Recreation Center (14075 Frederick Street, Moreno Valley).

Between somber military fare- He served as a gunner in the U.S. wells, civic celebrations, local Navy aboard the USS Saratoga parades, athletic events, or any aircraft carrier during World War number of honorary festivities, II and later served as a tank comAviles is reminded of the pride of mander for the U.S. Army during

the Korean War. While in the Pacific, Aviles recalled the frantic scrambling to save the USS Saratoga after multiple direct hits from kamikaze planes during the battle of Iwo Jima. He described having to sleep on top of ammunition piles and digging the deepest foxhole possible to sleep alongside his tank crew and on top.

“Sleeping on a bunk bed while in the Navy was much better than sleeping conditions in the Army,” Aviles said. “When I returned home from Korea, I had to sleep on the floor for a long time before my body could get used to sleeping on

a bed again.”

Although his formal education never reached beyond the 10th grade, he became a successful cement mason in the construction trades. Tears welled up in Aviles’ eyes when he recalled how both education and the sacrifices of so many young men seemed to be lost on today’s younger generation.

“They need school. They aren’t going to learn by quitting and going to the streets and getting into bad situations,” Aviles said.

Now a resident of Beaumont, Aviles never shared the details of his military career with his

three children (much less his ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren), but he shared the news about finally getting his high school diploma with his buddies in his billiards league.

“They asked me if it means that I’m going to get a higher paying job now. I think I just got out of a lot of work,” Aviles joked when he thought of the prospect of receiving his high school diploma 70+ years later. “I used to love arithmetic, but when it came to algebra, forget it.”

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

10 tips to find a down payment to buy a home

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News The common thread in nearly every real estate transaction is that the buyer must have a down payment to qualify for a mortgage – with very few exceptions. While this article is intended to stimulate the thought process on figuring out how you can find the money for a down payment, not every solution offered will work for every loan.

Nearly every loan program offered today, has some sort of caveat on where the down payment money comes from so make certain you speak with a reputable loan officer early in the process – well before you even start seriously looking at homes on REALTOR.com and other web portals.

Perhaps the most popular loan that does not require a down pay-

ment is sponsored by the Veterans Administration, commonly known as a VA Loan. The biggest requirement is that the borrower must have honorably served in any of the armed forces. It’s a bit more complicated than this, so again make certain to speak with a reputable loan officer who specializes in VA loans if you want to pursue this course.

Other 100% loans are starting to appear with some lenders. Make certain you understand all of the nuances of these programs before you wander too far down that path.

What credit FICO score do you need? What is the Debt-to-Income (DTI) cap? Is the rate going to be fixed for the life of the loan? How much can it adjust up to – each year and the life of the loan? How much are the origination fees? Can they be financed with the purchase money? What about the closing costs, can they also be financed?

Don’t forget to find out how past negative credit actions will affect your ability to borrow – you know what I mean…the bankruptcy, short sale or foreclosure from a few years ago. How do these affect you today?

You can see, there is a lot to know about any loan program. For now, let’s focus on loans that require a down payment – typically these will be referred to as either FHA or Conventional.

How much down do you need?

The answer to this question will vary, again, depending on the loan program. A Traditional Conventional loan has always typically been 20% down.

Today there are conventional loans that only require 5% down and the FHA Loans will only require 3.5% of your money for the down payment.

That’s what this article is about – finding the money, whether its 20% or 3.5%... just remember every loan program has its own restrictions on where that money comes from.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Landscaping with roses

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello Fellow Gardeners. I thought this would be an appropriate topic for now as the “bare root” season will be upon us shortly and in some instances you can order or, at Armstrong Nursery, you can “pre-order” bare root roses now, and they will be arriving for you in December, at proper planting time.

Brief background – I grew over 250 varieties of roses on 5 acres for many years, and also on smaller lots, also a member of the Temecula Valley Rose Society for several years, and just an all-around “rose fanatic.” That said, I want to dispel a myth that roses are “finicky and time consuming” – ONLY if you pick the wrong roses! I spent years looking for roses that were not only

Hybrid perpetual heirloom rose.

“low maintenance”, but beautiful, disease resistant, and highly scented for my own garden. What I am going to share with you today is based on my hands on experience with those roses. My roses were and are all on drip irrigation, I may spray them once or twice a year with an organic spray for fungus, dead head spent flowers (which you have to do with ANY flowering plant) and a major pruning in late winter – that’s about it, besides fertilizing – I’ll be talking more about these things as the time arises when you need to worry about them.

First, let me state that I may be a little bit different than many rose lovers who pretty much go for the hybrid teas, floribundas, and whatever rose is the “new rage” this year. I specialized in the antique/heirloom/old roses and what is called “species” roses. Many of them can get quite large, so it really depends on your needs and space as to which roses you choose.

Read the descriptions and base your choice accordingly. I am going to give you the names of several “mail

Event Coordinators Mary Ann Sharp and Shelly Moore were presented with bouquets of flowers in appreciation for their hard work on the Hoptoberfest Chili Cook-Off event.

Century 21 Wright won “People’s Choice”; Corner Escrow was a close second. “Best Overall” went to Dane Wunderlich.

Other awards included: “Best Cornbread” by Denyse Wilson of Real Estate Places; “Best Decorated Booth” by Escrow Leaders; second best decorated booth went to Myrna Crowther and Prime Lending.

“A lot of hard work and detail went into planning our First Annual Hoptoberfest Chili Cook-Off for Charity,” said Moore, “It far exceeded our expectations raising more for our charities than we had anticipated for our first year.

Thank you to our great real estate community for the donations, sponsorships, volunteers, and support of this event. My heart is full with what we accomplished and I am so excited to begin the planning for next year.”

Moore earlier in the year was awarded the “2014 SRCAR Affiliate of the Year.”

Rose Care FUNdamentals November 2014 Frank Brines Consulting Rosarian Temperatures in the Temecula Valley have moderated and recent humid mornings are making roses happy. Even so, some problems could result, such as powdery mildew and black spot. Your roses may benefit from a good rinsing to remove dust; be sure to keep moisture off the blossoms to prevent the fungal disease Botrytis. You won’t be wasting water by doing this as plants absorb moisture through their leaves and plant structure.

And it will drip off into the soil.

You’ve probably completed the light mid-season pruning I suggested; if you pruned out dead and crossing canes through the middle of the plant you have improved the air circulation through your rose bushes which is a good way to reduce fungal diseases.

If you pruned in September and fertilized you are likely enjoying a showy bloom cycle now. Cutting some blooms now (and taking inside for bouquets) will assist having blooms around Thanksgiving. If you stagger your bloom cutting, you might have some for your December holiday table.

That “might” is the big unknown, with the main factor being the temperature (again!): The average first frost date in our area is about November 17.

You may make a final application of fertilizer for the year before mid-November. If you do this, use a fertilizer lower in Nitrogen (N) and higher in Phosphate (P) and Potassium (K); that is, if your fertilizer has an N-P-K number on it, the first digit will be lower than the other two. If it lacks an N-PK, read the ingredients and/or ask

your professional nursery person for guidance. To explain: Nitrogen encourages foliage growth-something we want to discourage going into dormancy; Phosphate helps build root structure and resistance to stressful conditions (e.g., cold at this time of year); Potassium is a helper of Phosphate and aids in bloom quality. If you use an organic fertilizer it will be readily available when the soil warms,

adding to the nutrients needed for that Spring growth spurt.

Don’t apply fertilizer after midNovember because it will only encourage tender growth that could be damaged by frost and will forestall your roses going into dormancy as the soil and general environment cools, daylight shortens, etc.

Some people think Southern California lacks distinct seasons, but we do have seasons: They are only discerned by those with a more sophisticated palette! So get out of the house and enjoy the subtle delights of the air, sun, and the rich aroma of our magically misty Fall. When you have a moment to spare, or feel the need to get away, or when the day cools down, take your favorite healthy beverage, a picnic basket, and visit Rose Haven Heritage Garden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, Temecula (cross street is Cabrillo Avenue). The early morning and late afternoon sunlight across the pass is magical this time of year— it even makes the freeway seem a little bit romantic!

Oh, one last thing-something to do when it gets just a bit too nippy

out there: Now is the time to start perusing rose catalogs (printed and online) for that next “gotta have” rose variety. (Come on-you deserve it! You work hard to have lovely roses, so let yourself go!

(And we expect to see you enter that perfect bloom in the next rose show May 2, 2015!) Also, this time of year many nurseries and garden stores are liquidating their remaining inventory of potted roses—and you’re in luck because November

PAYMENT from D-1 common for parents to want to help their children purchase a new home. With today’s tax laws, they might “gift” it to you without any tax consequences. If they can’t afford to just give you the money, they might be able to loan it to you.

Make CERTAIN you check with your lender if this is allowed or how long you must “season” the funds before it is allowed.

Pay Yourself First: Create a house fund to save your money. Pay yourself first – the same amount at the same time every month and watch your money grow. Don’t be tempted to use it for anything else or put in less – you are doing this for your future so treat it like it’s important to you and worth the sacrifice.

Save Your Tax Refund: When you get your tax refund, put it in your savings account – sure the new plasma TV would be great but owning the wall to mount it to will be even greater. Re-read #2 above.

Sell Stuff: We all have stuff in our homes and garages that we thought was “cool” at one point… it’s why we got it in the first place.

OK, so there is a lot of cool stuff that you just don’t need or use any more, right? Well someone else will enjoy it to - so sell it on eBay or have a garage sale and make some money and gain back some space (making it easier to move when you’re ready).

No Expense Spared Here! Quality Custom Home 2200+ sf custom home is set on a tranquil 2.2 acres giving you room to let your imagination run wild. Features upgraded framing, moldings & flooring, granite counters, fireplace, gorgeous cabinets, private basement, extended decking and more.

Seller Concessions: Different loans have different rules, again.

With that in mind, ask your seller to contribute to your down payment or closing costs.

Every program is unique. Some are administered by the government – Federal, State and/or Local and others are charitable organizations. Ask both your REALTOR and your Loan Officer what they know – but do your own research online – these programs can run out of money quickly and change a lot. One common denominator of every one is an income cap…so do your research.

Borrow from Your Retirement Account: Not every retirement account will allow you to borrow against it – but many will. Check with your tax advisor and financial planner to know what the tax implications may be and any restrictions on what you can do with the proceeds.

Your Job: Have you asked for a raise lately? Now is a good time.

Perhaps now might be a good time to get a better job. So long as you remain in the same field of employment it should not affect your loan application but don’t go switching industries completely – that is never good.

A Second Job: How bad do you want to get out of that apartment?

There is nothing wrong with taking a second job, even if it is substantially below your day job – in other words that fast food restaurant may not be a career move, but if it can put a couple of hundred a week into your bank account it might be a good move. Seasonal work is something to consider…or how about building a web-based business that generates income…it’s easier than you think.

order” companies that you can get your bare root roses from, if you can’t find them or order them locally. One of my favorite mail order nurseries for roses is “The Antique Rose Emporium” b a s e d i n Te x a s – w w w. antiqueroseemporium.com. You can either order online, or request a catalog, and really start to learn about roses! The gentleman who started this nursery wrote a book I read once upon a time and still have, called “Landscaping with Antique Roses,” if you’re interested in the old ones, get this book, invaluable information.

Another good source of old roses by mail is www.heirloomroses. com and they have a great selection, catalog and website as well.

N o w, f o r s o m e o f m y recommendations. Almost any Rugosa rose is high on my list, due to the fact that they get no diseases, are very fragrant, low maintenance, and set beautiful “rosehips” in the fall. They are very hardy as well but they are quite thorny. Try “Hansa” a deep magenta, “Blanc Double de Coubert” or just “Alba” both white beauties, or try “Agnes”, a peachy yellow! If you’re looking for a climber or rambler type rose look no further than the “hybrid musks” – some of my absolute favorites – “Penelope” and “Buff Beauty” – these are absolute knockouts in the garden and can take more shade than most and are literally covered with flowers all summer long. I highly recommend “Duchesse de Brabant” a beautiful pink tea rose, very fragrant. “Rose de Rescht” is a smaller size (for an antique rose) lovely magenta coloring, this one is in the “Portland” class.

“Reine des Violettes” is a must for any true rose collector (a hybrid perpetual) – its magnificent looking, as well as the scent, the long canes can be “pinned down” at the ends to cause blooms along the entire length of the canes – it’s a dark pink with purple blended in – very striking. “Stanwell Perpetual” is a robust rambling white “species” rose I also highly recommend.

Another class that’s very popular are the “English Roses”

by David Austin – of these I can highly recommend: “Belle Story” (peachy open showing stamens), “Wife of Bath” (pink), “Othello” is a deep maroon shrub, “Fair Bianca” (smaller, white) and “Heritage” a medium sized cupped pink. All David Austins roses are old/antique roses crossed with newer modern ones, very interesting hybridization, and have a definite “old fashioned” look to them. “Graham Thomas” is a yellow climber, very popular, which I discovered loves our climate so much it gets twice as big as it states, mine got so huge where I originally planted it, I eventually had to remove it unfortunately. “Gertrude Jekyll” is a beautiful and very fragrant dark pink rose, about 4x4 feet, however, if you don’t cut it waaaaay down after the spring blooming, you won’t be getting much for the rest of the summer, so that’s my tip on that one, make sure to cut it down by at least half.

To quickly give you a few more I highly recommend here, some are modern hybrid teas, or floribundas, or something else, but they are all great roses – check them out for color and size when ordering. “Iceberg” although exceedingly common, there’s a reason why, it’s a great rose – white, low maintenance, not much fragrance though. “Cecille Brunner” a light pink small flower with unique scent, both bush and climbing versions, “Zephirine Drouhin” a gorgeous dark pink thornless climber, “Tournament of Roses” – for a modern hybrid tea, this rose has the best disease resistance and most prolific blooming of any I’ve ever grown, which makes up for the lack of scent in my book. “Tiffany” is a classic hybrid tea, great color and scent. “Apricot Nectar”, “Sexy Rexy” and “Hannah Gordon” are all great floribundas.

I personally love the look of lavenders growing next to roses, beautiful contrast and both great for making potpourri! Salvias, penstemons, artemesias, iris, lambs ears, all look great with roses. Each on its own individual drip emitters, you should have no problems mixing different types of plants. Make sure to add compost to the planting hole when planting your bare root roses, mix in with existing soil, and I like to water in with a cup of Epsom salts

The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians today unveiled plans to add a new luxury four-diamond hotel wing, a luxury spa, new ballroom and meeting space, a resort-style pool complex, two restaurants, and related improvements to the award-winning Pechanga Resort & Casino.

do so as well to position ourselves for the next 20 years. We believe this project will take us there.”

“This development will complement our current offerings, enhance the resort experience for guests, and cement Pechanga Resort & Casino as the preeminent luxury gaming destination in California,” said Patrick Murphy, President of the Pechanga Development Corporation. “This project will meet the demands of

our guests – more rooms, a true resort-style pool experience, a luxury spa, and A-list entertainment acts.” The development corporation has oversight of the resort and casino operations and will oversee all aspects of the proposed development.

“We estimate the proposed expansion will result in a combined economic output of over $550 million, generating roughly 2,944 jobs up front as a result of construction-related activities,” said Dr. Christopher Thornberg, Founding Partner of Beacon Economics. “We estimate the local economy will benefit from an additional 560 jobs per year going forward as a result of expanded operations at the Pechanga Resort & Casino.”

A recent study by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College found the combined economic impact of Pechanga tribal and resort activities in 2012 resulted in the direct employment of 5,257 people, making the tribe one of the ten largest employers in Riverside County.

Featuring approximately 550 rooms, the new wing will be located on the south side of the existing hotel and will be 14 sto-

ries tall, which is about the same height as the current resort. Reflecting Pechanga’s reputation for continuously improving the guest experience, more than one-third of the new wing will consist of suites.

The hotel development includes 67,000 square feet of custom-designed and configurable event and pre-function space for meetings, conventions, concerts and boxing and mixed martial arts.

The new two-story, 23,000 square-foot luxurious spa, salon, and fitness center will feature 17 treatment rooms and a terrace with hydrotherapy pools.

Pechanga guests will soon be able to enjoy a proper resort-style pool complex that will span four acres and will feature three pools and five hydrotherapy pools, including a family-friendly pool and a lagoon-style pool.

Two new restaurants will be added to Pechanga’s existing 11, including a pool grille restaurant with a roof top view and a restaurant and bar in the lobby of the new hotel wing.

The design team is led by Delawie architects, the original designers of the Pechanga Resort & Casino. Lifescapes International has been selected as the pool area and landscape architects. Over the past five decades, the firm has designed iconic landscapes at world-class resorts, including the Bellagio, Wynn, and Venetian hotels. CLEO Design out of Las Vegas and Los Angeles-based KNA Design will be leading the interior designs.

Pechanga will soon be undertaking an environmental impact report and will be working with the City of Temecula and the County of Riverside to execute intergovernmental agreements.

Over the years, Pechanga has contributed $10.4 million to the City of Temecula for widening Pechanga Parkway and construction of a new bridge spanning Temecula Creek. The Tribe has also provided more than $14 million to the City of Temecula to build the Ultimate Interchange at the I-15 and Temecula Parkway.

The Tribe hopes to break ground on the project in the first quarter of 2015, with construction expected to last approximately two years.

Temecula businessman underwrites patriotic video to thank military heroes Terry Gilmore wanted to thank America’s military members and their families. The Temecula busi-

nessman hopes to do just that with a video production featuring the return of a young marine returning from deployment.

“I wanted to create a powerful message to show my gratitude to people in the military,” said Gilmore who served as a sergeant in the Army and was stationed in Cu Chi during Vietnam. “We have become a generation that has forgotten that our grandfathers and great grandfathers fought in the World Wars. It is my hope that this film helps people to remember.”

The film is only a minute long and without words but conveys a thank you message to America’s military and veterans. Gilmore, who has lived in the Temecula Valley for 23 years, produced the piece locally. He said he chose to make the film in Temecula due to the city’s ties with the military.

“This Valley is a military community,” he said. “Many of our friends and family are stationed at Camp Pendleton.”

When contemplating on how to put his ideas into a visual format, Gilmore called upon Jo Moulton to produce the piece, founder of Temecula Valley International Film & Music Festival. Moulton was not available when she was first contacted by Gilmore in June but asked Gilmore to wait until October to do the piece. She said the project was worth the wait.

“What I loved about this project from the start was Terry’s passion and commitment to making sure that we as Americans never forget our military,” said Moulton.

Using Moulton’s cinematic ex-

pertise a high definition, quality film with a true cinematic feel was created. The crew included film-industry experts from Sony, Disney and Microsoft. According to a press release, “the film piece, though short in length is effective in telling a story about a soldier returning home.”

“Usually in my line of work after long days of production I feel drained, but working on this project I always felt at peace. Terry’s intentions are genuine,” said Moulton.

“Terry shared with me his vision and I made it come to life. It was a very rewarding project to be a part of.”

The footage was shot in a Temecula home and all of the actors were from the Temecula Valley.

Gilmore’s vision included showing an authentic all-American home and though it was filmed here, the images resonate nationwide.

Former Marine sergeant, Josh Greenfield, plays the role of the marine coming home to his family.

When watching the finished film, Greenfield, who also worked as a combat cameraman, shared an immense sense of connectivity with the piece.

“The video shows the dream that every Marine wants: to come home, kiss your wife and hug your kids,” Greenfield said.

The video will air from Nov. 7 - 11 on Time Warner and Verizon Cable during commercial breaks.
