The air in the ballroom Tuesday night was filled with cautious anticipation as the county electoral website was streaming live on one of two big screens at one side of the room, while network news outlets were streaming the national play by play on the other. The public was invited to join local Lake Elsinore City Council incumbent candidates Natasha Johnson, Steve Manos and Robert Magee, as well as Wildomar City Council candidate, Dustin Nigg to a neighborhood watch party hosted by Pins ‘n Pockets in Lake Elsinore.
When the first results came in and it was announced to the crowd on hand that all three Lake Elsinore incumbents had retained their seats on City Council, a resounding cheer came across the room. Nigg was also announced a winner in his bid for a seat on the Wildomar City Council, along with Mayor Bridgette Moore, who was also re-elected for another term on the Wildomar council. Other early announced big winners of the night were Lake Elsinore Treasurer, Allen Baldwin, as well as the LEUSD School Board Measure V. The newly re-elected Lake Elsinore

Bill would prohibit sex offenders from entering school grounds SACRAMENTO – In order to further protect children from dangerous sex offenders Sen. Connie M. Leyva (D-Chino) today announced when the California State Senate convenes in early December she will introduce legislation to prohibit any registered sex offender from being present on a school campus in California for any reason. Current law allows a school administrator to grant a registered sex offender access to a school campus as long as the parents and staff receive a two week notice. Registered sex offenders are now allowed to volunteer at schools as long as they are not acting in a supervisory role or in constant interaction with children as part of their volunteering. The legislation that Sen. Leyva intends to introduce at the start of the 2017-
PROTEST from page A-1 the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Local students decided to protest to show their support of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe by protesting at the Temecula Duck Pond against the pipeline. The Duck Pond, a prime protesting sport at the corner or Rancho California and Ynez roads, saw all protesters applying for standing permits and following strict nonviolent protesting tactics. Rehashing their discontent, students gathered on the Temecula streets Nov. 11, due to the election of Donald Trump. More reconvened along with other adults Nov. 12, to protest the pipeline affecting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Protests Saturday were organized by the Pechanga Band of Indians while Friday was entirely led by high school students. Temecula Valley High School students, Skylar Palm and Salma Sadat, on the nights of protest, noted authorities were present. Reportedly, protesters and police on the scene amicable. “We understand they were here solely to protect us. Even when six backlash Trump supporters arrived we knew there was authority to keep everyone civil,” Sadat said of the backlash they faced on the night of the Trump protest. Palm and Sadat explained that they were surprised by the amount of support and “honkers” that also voiced their support, but also understood that there would be equal anger geared toward the protesters themselves. With the stance of taking action, protesters aimed to make a difference regardless of the outcome. “I’ve seen so much hostility and negativity, but in this dire moment, being passive is not what we need. Trump’s misogynistic, racist, and homophobic comments have attacked many communities. We’re scared,” Palm said, arguing her dissatisfaction
2018 regular session will eliminate the ability of school administrators to grant permission for sex offenders to enter school campuses. “Existing law in California allows registered sex offenders to be present on school campuses and volunteer in a variety of capacities,” Sen. Leyva said. “The safety of students should always remain a top priority, so I look forward to introducing legislation in the near future that will tighten the loopholes that sex offenders could use to gain access to school campuses in California. Though there are some restrictions on the types of volunteering in which registered sex offenders may participate, there is also enough ambiguity that could result in a registered sex offender being unsupervised while interact-
ing with kids at school. Also, parents who do not want to have registered sex offenders present at their child’s school do not have the legal ability to prevent this potentially dangerous situation.” In recent months, concerned parents across California, though most notably in Fontana within Sen. Leyva’s district, have expressed tremendous concern about allowing registered sex offenders to be present or volunteer on school campuses. In response, the Fontana Unified School District approved a policy in September 2016 that seeks to address these school safety concerns. Sen. Leyva will introduce this proposed legislation in order to ensure statewide uniformity to help keep children safe at California schools.

for the perceived hate she and other communities have experienced from the president-elect. Salma Sadat’s Afghani ethnicity has affected her and her family primarily due to Trump’s suggested anti-Muslim ban. She speaks for her family and herself when she says that she fears a Trump presidency. Although she and Palm are not old enough to vote, it does not mean they do not have the power to make change. Their protests for protecting Standing Rock and the proposed pipeline in North Dakota, is designed to influence the nation’s leaders to reconsider their electoral vote. Regardless of age, the decisions made today will affect these students and their futures; their protests are acts of taking charge and fighting back, the two said. Citizens who expressed their opposition to the protesting both on a local and national scale believe the constituents should be supporting the president. However, Palm concedes that the constitutional right to protesting is merely stating an opinion. “Anytime you’re stating an opinion, they (those who oppose the protest)
would be like ‘why are you doing that?’ I don’t understand why people would be against that if we are just getting our ideas out,” Palm said. The protesters made an effort to remain supportive and open, but expressed their position that Trump is not the president they can trust. A paramount part of policymaking, protests, which area nuisance to some, represent the discontent of constituents, and will continue so long that the nation is polarized. According to Sadat, Trump’s success has been a result of his “loud and unorthodox rhetoric” that speaks to the majority. Reminiscent of Nixon’s Silent Majority, Trump’s remarks were what made him a favorable candidate for changing the United States, according to some analysts. So long that he speaks loud, these local students will speak louder, the group said. With aspirations to have a safe nation for all people, these local students voiced their concern as members of American society seeking a political charge even if they are not counted in the ballot.

City Council candidates each acknowledged their many constituents who came out to celebrate their win. Manos took the microphone to express his appreciation for the many who supported the city council. “This city council is committed to continuing our work and to get great things done for Lake Elsinore,” Manos said. “If you like what we were able to do for you these past four years, wait until you see what we’re going to be able to do for you this next term.” The broader results of the presidential race were still teetering in the direction of the Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump as the local community watch party was winding down. The national election was eventually called in Trump’s favor just after 2:30 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Melendez recognizes veteran at Menifee meeting, council closes popular skate park Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Assemblywoman Melisssa Melendez took to the podium to recognize Menifee resident David Bradley as her Veteran of the Year during the Nov. 16 Menifee City Council meeting. Melendez said that Bradley had served in the Navy and Naval Reserves from 1960 until 2002. Throughout his career Bradley was commissioned as a warrant officer then as an LDO, or Limited Duty Officer. He was eventually promoted to Lt. Cmdr. and was recalled to active duty in September 1999. “He has an entire list of awards and recognitions that he had received,” Melendez said. “I will tell you he served Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Korea, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Portugal, England, just to name a few. He has been all over.” Melendez said that Bradley was injured while in Vietnam, but they “patched him up and sent him right back over.” Bradley holds two masters’ degrees, and has worked a variety of jobs, including employment with the Department of Justice. “This isn’t just about his naval service because when you are a veteran, it is engrained in you dur-

ing your service that you give back to your community as well,” she said. “He is someone who likes to get involved in the community and not gripe and moan, but do things. He’s got a positive attitude and I think it shows.” Melendez presented Bradley with a certificate from the 67th Assembly District naming him Veteran of the Year. Bradley said he wanted to share that with the other 22 million veterans throughout the country. “I want to thank my family, friends, fellow Vietnam veterans and Helen Carson, a retired school teacher who wrote this all up,” he said, adding that he would ask for special remembrance of his fellow swift-boat sailors. “Thank you, God bless you and God bless the United States.” After the special presentation, the city got down to business, approving a large range of items on the consent calendar including an amendment to a professional services agreement with Mason & Mason for appraisal services in the amount of $1,350 and acceptance of a grant award from ExoFit Fitness Park Grant Program in the amount of $19,500 for the purchase of outdoor equipment and authorize matching city funds in the amount of $17,676. The city also held a public hearing regarding Audie Murphy Ranch Skate Park improvements. Recommended action by the Community Services Department included approval for increased security and safety measures for those who use the park. Capital improvements include a permanent restroom facility. Additionally, staff suggested adding a steel security fence with access gates, motion sensor security lights and a remote access loud speaker and possible addition of supervision at the park. After a discussion on the proposed changes to the park and hearing from the public who voiced concerns of drug use and lack of safety, food and trash left behind and vandalism at the park, Councilman Matt Liesemeyer said that both cul-de-sacs needed to be protected. Councilwoman Lesa Sobek said that she had gone to the park and watched the skaters, she said she wanted to get the fences up, but that she wanted to do it right. “The skaters who go there to skate have concerns regarding those who come and hang out and cause trouble themselves,” she said. “No. 1, we have to look out for the health and safety of those who use the park. We need to do something immediately. Get those fences up!” Ultimately, Mayor Scott Mann moved that city council should close the park until the safety and security features could be put into place. Council voted 4-1 in favor of immediately closing the park until safety and security upgrades can be made, which will take at least 60 days, with Councilman Greg August dissenting.

The California Southern Railroad Company Bonnie Martland SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
For those of us caught in the tiresome traffic jams between Temecula and San Diego or Temecula and points inland, thoughts of a commuter rail system from San Diego to the Inland Empire may seem but a pipe dream. However, few Temeculans may realize such a system once existed, though no traces of it remain. In fact, it is the main reason Temecula, as we know her, exists at all. In 1880, Temecula was a small village of about 230 citizens living in near the corner of Margarita Road and Temecula Parkway. We were part of San Diego County. Citizens petitioned for a rail link to the coast
and for a connection from the terminus of the Southern Pacific railroad in Colton to San Diego. The added benefit to both Temeculans and San Diegans, was a north county link to the county seat and an increase in trade and prosperity. Consequently, on Oct. 12, 1880, the California Southern Railroad Company was incorporated. Fred T. Perris, for whom the city of Perris was named, conducted the survey of the route and later laid out the town of Temecula about two and a half miles from the Temecula Village site. The railroad was laid along the west side of Murrieta Creek and ran from National City, near San Diego, through Oceanside, Fallbrook, Temecula, Murrieta, Elsinore and points inland.

Unfortunately, Mr. Perris and his Eastern bosses failed to heed the advice of local residents and ran the tracks through the Temecula Canyon. In this gorge the high water mark was about two-thirds up the canyon walls. However, Perris determined the high water point to be about 10 feet above the canyon floor and proceeded to build his railroad at that elevation. The dangerous work of laying and grading the track was done primarily by Chinese workers. Sept. 13, 1883, marked the first scheduled run for the new rail line between San Diego and San Bernardino with the cost of six dollars one way or nine for a round trip ticket. With the prosperity brought by the railroad, the new town of Temecula grew and the former village site diminished in importance. Hotels, a livery stable, mercantile establishments, saloons and other businesses prospered. The boom was short-lived, however, because in February 1884 the tracks through the Temecula Canyon washed out and rain continued incessantly through the following April. Train cars were washed off the tracks forcing stranded passengers to walk out of the canyon. Debris was found washed all the way into the Pacific Ocean. The company floundered and transferred control to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe which began rebuilding the railroad
The Howe Station in DeLuz, once a part of the California Southern Railroad Company rail line that ran through Temecula, was washed Temecula Valley Historical Society photos out in the 1916 flood.
through the canyon. According to one contemporary newspaper account the railroad had one thousand men or so at work at the site. Ten and a half months after the washout, the trains were again running to San Diego. In the 1880s the local cattle industry flourished and railroad rate wars brought many Easterners to California. Temecula, like most of southern California, enjoyed a period of prosperity with much of it based on speculation. The bust came in 1888, with a collapse of the economy in general and the competition of a new rail line along the coast exacerbated problems for the California Southern. The line,
already struggling to survive, was dealt a final blow in 1891, with another washout of the tracks through Temecula Canyon. The road was never rebuilt. Consequently, we sit in traffic dreaming of a speedy rail trip, a future with a long history. The Temecula Valley Historical Society meets every fourth Monday of the month, except in November and December. Presentations to the historical society begin at 6 p.m. in the Little Temecula History Center, the red barn at the corner of Temecula Parkway and Wolf Store Road, following a social time with refreshments at 5:30 p.m. See www. temeculavalleyhistoricalsociety.org for more information.

Brighter lights to shine over Wildomar Art Barela VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Wildomar City Council meeting Wednesday, Nov. 9, was direct and to the point as the theme of the evening was focused on several shining lights that are destined to glow even brighter for the future of the city. The first order of business for the evening was to recognize the children of the community. It started off with presentations of official recognition to Wildomar’s newest Eagle Scout, Kaden Quintana. Kaden was honored with certificates of recognition for his achievement from various representatives from state and local officials, as well as an honorary Mayor’s Certificate of Recognition from Mayor Bridgette Moore, for his acts of outstanding dedication to the community. A representative from Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez’s office was also on hand to further recognize all of the children from Boy Scout Troop 2011 for doing great work in their community. Representing William Collier Elementary School, Dorri Neal delivered a brief presentation on the remarkable progress her school is making as a California Blue Ribbon and No Excuses University School. Neal also introduced several students
HEMET from page A-1 for voting in Measure U with more than a 60 percent approval rating promising to bring residents a safer and more secure city. “The passage of Measure U represents a great victory for this city and our community,” said Police Chief Brown. “This was a team effort that included the most broad and diverse coalition of organizations and individuals that this city has have ever seen in my lifetime.” He praised the four members of the city council who voted to place the measure on the November ballot. He said to those in the council audience, “I assure you we are prepared to follow through on the enormous expectations you and the council have of us.” Fire Chief Brown also thanked the community and the council for helping ensure the passage of Measure U. “I want to express my heartfelt thank you and appreciation to the business community and the members of the community who stood tall to support our police and fire departments,” Brown said. Their specific proposals, once presented and approved by the council, will then set the direction for the spending of Measure U sales tax revenues. City Manager Alex Meyerhoff said the collection of money from the new sales tax will go into effect April 1, 2017, following the city council declaring the election results and approving the public safety department’s action plans at the Dec. 13 meeting with the effective date beginning Dec. 23. The chiefs presented their preliminary action plans to the council and the public at the Nov. 15 meeting. The police chief outlined his action plan in three steps: First he said he will “jump-start” his troop surge by hiring his first wave of officers, establishing a special enforcement bureau and “front load” his officer’s safety equipment. Second he will implement an aggressive recruitment plan. He will accomplish this by developing a strategy to “find, attract and retain” lateral (trained) officers and then reinstate and enhance hiring and incentive programs. Finally, he said, they will enhance enforcement of local ordinances by using the local prosecutor to use aggressive zero tolerance prosecution of Post Release Community Supervision violators and prioritize PRCS task force staffing. Fire Chief Brown’s immediate action plan will be to immediately fill the battalion chief rank who will help establish command structure to address management deficiencies; convert Station 5 to a paramedic engine company; implement and aggressive recruitment plan; and enhance the emergency services bureau. He noted that he will be working to improve the city’s overall fire insurance rating. “My intent is to bring this department into the 21st century to meet the industry’s best practices and standards,” noted Brown. Details of these preliminary proposals will be presented to council Dec. 13. Responding to the chief’s proposals and the council’s future action in implementing Measure U funds were three members of the audience who were extremely favorable to Measure U and prominent in the
from the school, each sharing some of the impressive and inspirational poetry they created as part of their award-winning curriculum. Following regularly scheduled reports from the various city officials, Assistant City Manager, Daniel York delivered a detailed report on the progress being made toward the proposed acquisition of citywide street light upgrades.
The proposal is to purchase 1,400 new and/or retrofitted streetlight upgrades from SCE to replace existing lighting systems throughout the city. The estimated cost for these upgrades is expected to be in the range of $1.7 million, to include a Purchase Sales Agreement and Maintenance Program. The estimated cost savings to the city for the introduction of these improved and energy efficient streetlights over 30 years is projected to be in the area of $5.8 million. The potential for future revenue offsets through leasing pole space to communication outlets is also an option going forward. Issues of color, brightness and the various lighting zone ordinances within the city are being addressed with visual testing scheduled to begin within the coming weeks. Underground power access upgrades, as well as potential alternative power sourcing, including solar, are all part of ongoing discussions in preparation for future presentations. Financing options for the project are expected to be a significant part of the final rounds of presentations. Though the long-term cost savings and energy efficiency is significant, city council is nonetheless committed to reviewing every available financing option to minimize and/ or offset any potential long or short-
business community urged the council to take immediate steps to establish a citizen’s oversight committee to assure all city councils in the future see that the money from Measure U goes on to the city public safety forces. Howard Rosenthal, local Realtor and strong supporter of Measure U pointed out the money from the Measure needed to spent only for public safety purposes only and during the entire campaign to get Measure U passed advocated establishing an oversight committee. Mayor Bonnie Wright urged citizens who would like to serve on such and oversight committee turn in an application to the city and explain why they would like to serve. A letter of intent would be needed and turned in to the city clerk. Eric Gosch, a major car dealer in the community, who worked to see Measure U pass said, the council should quickly form an oversight
committee to oversee the expenditures of the Measure. “Good to see sense of urgency on Measure U.” He said there need to be a baseline for the budgets so the community can see what is being spent on public safety with a separate accountability for the funding so “it’s not going elsewhere.” Ted Faust, director of the Western Science Center, thanked the council, the chiefs and community for helping pass Measure U. However, he warned the council, chiefs and staff that they will be held accountable for the use of the Measure U to make sure it is spent only for public safety. “None of this money should be pulled astray.” We ask for strong accountability for this money. The council and the two Hemet councilmembers elect Karlee Myer and Michael Perciful (in attendance Nov. 15) were in agreement to form the oversight committee for Measure U.

term tax burdens to the public. The new LED lighting is expected to provide long term cost savings, improved nighttime visibility, promote optimum energy efficiency and will ultimately preserve and enhance the beauty of ‘dark starlit skies’ over Wildomar for years to come. City Council
approved that the final PSA be completed for review and consideration at the City Council meeting Jan 11, 2017. For more information regarding this or any other city business, visit the Wildomar City website at www.cityofwildomar.org.

The Gardner, Vail Ranch and Margarita Middle School cross country teams have competitors that are going to help their local high school teams be very successful in the future. The three schools are feeders to Great Oak and Temecula Valley, who both have very successful sports programs, with the Wolfpack of course being the top school in the area for long distance runners. Currently 10 of the top 14 runners at Great Oak are from Vail Ranch alone. In late October all three middle schools had their cross country teams compete at the Beaumont Middle School Invitational where they each won one or more team titles with quite a few runners claiming top individual honors. Vail Ranch Middle School won both overall titles at the Beaumont Cross Country Invitational. 144 runners from Vail Ranch finished the two mile race with 22 total schools and garnered many awards including: 35 individual awards, two individual titles, two fastest times of the day, two division titles and two runner up titles. For the sixth grade girls’ team from Vail Ranch, Izzy Lindemann (5th place/17th fastest time) led all runners with great performances from Cailin Osbourne, who earned an individual award, plus Bailey Moffat. Anna Jilek, Riley Child, Emma Byres and Claire Maxey. The sixth grade boys’ were runners-up. Top Ten finishers David Kankowski (6th place), Wyatt Lynch (7th place) and Dylan Beeson, (9th place), led way for the Bulldogs in a meet that produced seven award winners and 11 “Top Dawg” times. Dylan Pastor (15) led the 7th grade girls for the second meet in a row as Emily Looney, Bella Clark, and Ella Barrett all had great races. Ariell Belser secured a second place finish and Gwen Rosser and Susanna Ko had incredible races as well and will be strong again next year. Nic Parrott (7th place) and Jacob Brubaker (10th place) lead our the boys seventh grade team to a strong finish. For the Vail Ranch eighthgraders, Holly Hunter won her
The Margarita Middle School 7th Grade Girls finished first as a team. Pictured here are: Hannah Szychulda, Lola Renfroe, Victoria Schlottman, Caroline Hunsberger, Camryn Assumma, Raelle Gorman (6th individually), Taylor Smith and Kate Jacobsen (2nd individually).

second consecutive race, and had the fastest time of the meet. Georgi Mandel (4th place) Lauren Buckley and Sophie Rodriguez continued their consistent top finishes. For the boys’, the big dogs if you will, 18 runners ran the course under 13:00 minutes for 2 miles. Mateo Joseph ran the fastest time of the day for any runner in the meet and continues to get better. There were 15 “Top Dawg” Times, 11 individual award winners and four top 10 finishers, including Isaac Workman, Mason White and Matthew Dormanen. Shaun Richter, Bryant Srioudom, Anthony Nguyen, Andruw Householder, john Worthy, Kris
Simmons, and Marcus Boeck all rounded out the award winners. “This cross country program at Vail Ranch could never be what it is without our wonderful students, parents, administration and of course our PE staff. Our runners produce because of the support that is given to them. Something has been working over the past nine years, no special formula or training, just commitment from many to ensure that young students have the opportunity to succeed,” says Coach Steve White. Margarita Middle School also held up very well on their end, the 7th grade teams were strong competitors. The 7th grade girls’

Middle school was the overall sixth grade winner, running in a time of 11:20.9, helping his team get fourth place overall and Laura Shoaf and Melinda Dang both took the top spots for the sixth grade girls, who finished first overall. For more sports news, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Blotter Man rams car into good Samaritans during domestic violence incident Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Deputies arrested a man who repeatedly rammed his car into a crowd of good Samaritans who were trying to protect a young woman during a domestic violence incident Tuesday, Nov. 15. At least two people were injured during the dangerous and violent incident that happened about 10 a.m., at the Food 4 Less supermarket at 26419 Ynez Road in Temecula. The alleged suspect, identified as Brian Albert Ferrer, 25, of Murrieta, was arrested and later booked into jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. He is being held at the Southwest Detention Center in lieu
of $50,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 17. According to numerous witnesses at the scene, Ferrer got into an argument with his girlfriend inside the supermarket, which led to the violent confrontation a few minutes later in the parking lot. Ferrer allegedly rammed his car into good Samaritans who had rescued the woman and attempted to stop him. In the cellphone video of the incident, witnesses encircled Ferrer’s car and formed a human blockade in an effort to keep him from leaving. Despite their efforts to keep Ferrer from fleeing, he put his car into reverse and rammed his car into several people who were blocking his path, knocking one woman to the ground in the process. Ferrer
then accelerated forward, striking several other good Samaritans, as they began to punch and kick his car. Ferrer then revved his engine and backed up again at a high rate of speed, nearly running over the woman he had knocked to the ground. She managed to avoid being run over by rolling out of the car’s path. Another witness then helped pull her out of the way of the rear of the car. Ferrer then sped off with tires squealing, as he fled the scene. Several men who had tried to stop Ferrer from leaving were struck by his car. They then chased after him on foot through the parking lot. Ferrer was apprehended in front of AAA-Automobile Club of South-
ern California by a Temecula PD motorcycle officer as he inspected the damage to his car. During their investigation, deputies interviewed more than a dozen shoppers who witnessed the original domestic violence incident and the violent confrontation that happened in the parking lot. “During the course of the investigation, officers determined the girlfriend sustained moderate injuries during the altercation with Ferrer,” Riverside Sheriff’s Public Information Officer Deputy Mike Vasquez said. “Officers located another woman who was injured when Ferrer attempted to flee the location. “The bystander was struck by Ferrer’s vehicle and sustained a minor injury.”
Both women, neither of whom were identified, received medical treatment and were released at the scene, according to Vasquez. Deputies who investigated the violent confrontation are still searching for witnesses. Anyone with information regarding this investigation or who witnessed the violent incident is encouraged to contact Temecula police officials at (951) 696-3000. Callers can refer to incident file number TE163200081 and can remain anonymous. Citizens may also submit a tip using the Sheriff’s CrimeTips online form.

officials said. At around 11 a.m. Friday, students were participating in an annual “Turkey Trot” an event that involves them running on the track, when they began complaining of troubled breathing and watery eyes, according to a school spokesperson. Paramedics were called after one student collapsed. In total, eight students and two staff members were hospitalized due to an unknown odor, which school officials said was “possibility a pesticide that originated in the neighborhood near the area where the Turkey Trot took place.” Another 40 students were monitored by paramedics at the school, according to the Murrieta Fire Department. The cause was being investigated by both the Murrieta fire and police departments.

An alleged impaired driver was arrested after he traveled several miles in the wrong direction on the I-215 Freeway, Wednesday, Nov. 16. The man finally stopped on his own when he encountered highway construction blocking his path. Once the man stopped for the construction, “deputies were able to stop the suspect from driving away from that location and detained him,” according to CHP Public Information Officer Mike Lassig. Officials later identified the driver as Cameron Michael Yancey, 28, of Oceanside. He was detained by deputies and turned over to CHP officers to conduct a DUI inves-
tigation and was subsequently arrested. In a press release about the incident and arrest, Lassig explained, “Witnesses notified the California Highway Patrol Border Communications Dispatch Center of a wrong way driver traveling southbound on the northbound side of I-215, just north of Nuevo Road.” According to Lassig, an alert Riverside County sheriff’s deputy first spotted the speeding wrong way driver about 11:42 a.m., in a 2007 Dodge Challenger, at the Ramona Expressway in Perris. The deputy called for assistance as he paralleled Yancey. During the dangerous incident, Yancey allegedly reached speeds up to 80 miles per hour. The deputy used his PA system
and hand gestures to make contact with Yancey; however, the allegedly intoxicated man refused to pull over or stop, Lassig explained. CHP officers and other deputies soon joined the first deputy, as they continued trying to get Yancey to stop and intercept him before he could cause an accident. Yancey eventually stopped about 12:10 p.m., underneath the Newport Road bridge. A jail records search indicated Yancey was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. He was released from jail a few hours later with a citation to appear Southwest Justice Center Jan. 17, 2017. No one was injured during the wrong-way driving incident.
Man Identified in officer involved shooting Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
A man who was killed in an officer involved shooting in Temecula Nov. 15 has been identified by the Riverside County Coroner’s Office. Michael Cookson, 48, of Temecula was killed in the parking lot of the Walt P. Abraham County Administration complex located in the 41000 block of County Center Drive after a Riverside Sheriff’s Court Services Division deputy intervened in domestic dispute.
When the deputy arrived, he located a male who was being “verbally abusive with a family member,” Riverside County Sheriff Public Information Officer, Deputy Mike Vasquez wrote in a press release about the deadly encounter. Cookson was shot when he brandished a knife and moved toward the deputy in a “threatening manner,” Vasquez wrote in the release. “An officer involved shooting occurred,” he wrote. While the deputy was not shot, he was transported to the hospital for
treatments of injuries he sustained during the altercation. The extent of his injuries is not known. The deputy involved in the shooting was placed on administrative leave per department policy and his name will not be released at this time.

Holiday Events ‘Season’s Greetings: Contemporary Holiday Greeting Cards’ Exhibit Displayed at the Temecula Valley Museum TEMECULA – The custom of sending holiday greeting cards dates back to the 19th century in England. Louis Prang created the first Christmas cards in America in 1875. While they originally showed mostly floral designs, his cards later became early portrayals of the holiday cards we typically see today. Greeting cards have become the most popular form of communication during the holiday season. The Temecula Valley Museum will feature a temporary exhibit spotlighting a selection of contemporary holiday greeting cards by photographers from all over the U.S. and Canada from Dec. 3 through Jan. 22. The exhibit will feature images created by both professional and amateur photographers. Themes
have been specially selected for the upcoming holiday season. Subjects will include traditional religious themes for both Christmas and Hanukkah, light-hearted interpretations of familiar Christmas subjects such as decorated Christmas trees, snow- covered landscapes and Santa Claus, and cards which make use of humor and clever word plays. Some of the most appealing images include an enigmatic mirror image of the interior of the Church of the Madeline in Salt Lake City, Utah, by photographer Steve Clover of Pocatello, Idaho; several photo and silkscreen prints by Darrel Stuart of Logan, Utah, showing delicate silhouettes of trees and landscapes; a series of engaging photographs by Candi Foltz from
Jupiter, Florida that feature her pugs gathered around the Christmas tree; and a beautiful vision of an angel by Magaly Hernandez of Glendale, California. In celebration of the exhibit, the museum is hosting a Christmas Photo Party Saturday, Dec. 3, at 11 a.m. Temecula’s professional photographer, Shawna Sarnowski, will be on hand to take free family portraits. Come for a family photo, enjoy a hot chocolate bar and a fun craft for the kids, while viewing the exhibit. Also, in keeping with Temecula’s Family First Theme, the museum will offer an area in the exhibit so valley families can post their own personal family Christmas cards. Spread family’s holiday cheer by
hanging a family picture on the museum wall. These images capture the essence and true meaning of the holidays and inspire a spirit of peace and harmony in all of Temecula. Without a doubt, the custom of sending greeting cards is an ideal way of remembering friends, both old and new, during the holiday season. The Temecula Valley Museum in Sam Hicks Monument Park is located at 28314 Mercedes Street, one block east of Front Street in Old Town Temecula. For more information about this exhibit, please call the Temecula Valley Museum at (951) 694-6450 or visit www. temeculamuseum.org.

TEMECULA – Members of Temecula Valley Hospital’s leadership, staff and board of governors joined together to celebrate the dedication of the hospital’s healing garden. The garden was dedicated to the man who built and grew the garden, Abraham Feltus. Feltus, the man responsible for all of the hospital’s horticulture, has been a Temecula resident since 1983. He is well-known for his garden artistry and paintings, as well as his involvement in the community. Feltus has mentored numerous young people over the years and is active in working with 4-H and FAA. He has been a part of Temecula Valley Hospital since it opened its doors in 2013 and is well-known by patients, visitors and staff. Now known as Abraham’s Garden, the garden was dedicated to Feltus because of his heartfelt
Today’s 20-something tech wizards might not worry about the challenges of old age. But they should. Seniors represent a huge untapped market for tech companies. While just 13 percent of America’s population is 65 or older today that slice will jump to 19 percent by 2030. What is one area that holds particular promise? Wearables. Such technology already supports healthier lifestyles. Over 20 percent of Americans use wearables. Ralph Lauren, Adidas, and other brands have developed smart wear to help people optimize their workouts. Wearables that foster healthy and independent living will soon fill seniors’ wardrobes. With advances in nanotechnology, “smart clothes” that monitor seniors’ health and remind them to take their medications are on the way. Analysts predict that medical applications will soon account for the largest share in the smart textile industry, reaching $843 million in sales by 2021. Previously, smart textiles weren’t so wearable. Indeed, their metallic fibers were bulky and unattractive. But new futuristic threads, called “smart yarn,” allow designers to embroider circuits into fabric, making wearables lightweight, comfortable and low-cost. Wearables empower patients to take control of their health and manage chronic illnesses. Chronic disease represents 86 percent of U.S. health spending. Nine in 10 seniors have at least one chronic condition. Technology that helps seniors avoid complications from their conditions can yield tremendous savings by eliminating unnecessary hospital stays. Smart watches are already being used to alert patients to take medication. Soon, seniors with high blood pressure could use wrist-worn devices to track blood pressure. Seniors with diabetes may soon benefit from intelligent footwear. New Zealand startup Footfalls and Heartbeats and the University of Nottingham are developing sensor-equipped “smart socks” that warn diabetics when they are at risk for foot ulcers. T-shirts from Canada’s OMsignal, meanwhile, can keep track of wearers’ stress levels and send vital signs to doctors. The company believes its thread-based sensors will help prevent everything from heart failures to seizures. For the 6 million seniors suffering from vision loss, mobility is often a nightmare. Sensors can change that. Designers are developing new sensors that emit ultrasound waves to detect objects that can be clipped to clothing or woven into vests. As the user approaches an obstacle, the sensor vibrates, growing in intensity and frequency the closer the obstacle gets. Take Tactile Navigation Tools’ Eyeronman vest, which employs three different types of sensors to guide users. The vest’s sensors communicate with an electronic textile shirt, which vibrates in a particular spot to indicate impending obstacles and their locations. Perhaps most importantly, new technology can prevent life-changing injuries caused by falls. According to government estimates, one in three seniors will suffer a fall each year. One in five falls will result in a broken bone or head injury. Treating these falls costs $34 billion annually, and the problem will only become more prevalent
as baby boomers age. Wearable tech can help reduce the risk of falling. Washingtonbased Sensoria recently teamed up with Orthotics Holdings Inc. to develop a brace that uses flexible textile sensors to alert wearers when they are about to lose their balance. Coming next, expect to see wearables outfitted with airbags to cushion users in the event of a tumble. Today’s tech executives are
Howe. “I usually visit the garden before I perform surgery because it provides a sense of solace and healing.” Feltus also shared his thoughts about the garden and the hospital at the dedication. “I built the garden in the shape of a heart to reflect just what the hospital is; the heart of the community,” said Feltus. “I hope I am a part of Temecula Valley Hospital for many years to come.” Temecula Valley Hospital is located at 31700 Temecula Parkway.

Keeping alcohol under control during the holidays American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
The holiday season brings increased amounts of stress and pressure. It also brings many oppor-
tunities to escape that stress. From office parties to family gatherings, the holidays offer lots of chances to be with people we like and enjoy a drink or two, or, too often, more. Holiday drinking can be a very real problem for many reasons.
One reason is that there are more occasions to consume alcohol, and often in situations that encourage excessive consumption. In addition, holiday parties may push people to drink who seldom do so at other times. Such people

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

may have lower alcohol tolerance, meaning just a drink or two can leave them quite intoxicated. One drink can be too much if there’s trouble because of it. The holiday season also produces high numbers of alcohol-related traffic accidents and deaths. Even a drunken driving citation will carry serious implications. Excessive holiday drinking can also produce other stress-inducing problems. Just one unthinking comment or improper action at an office holiday party has sabotaged more than one promising career. And who hasn’t experienced a horrific family gathering when Uncle Fred starts drinking and shares his feelings about family members? The key is to keep holiday alcohol consumption under control. Here are some tips on how to make that easier. Remember to make good choices. A holiday party is an opportunity to socialize and have fun, not just drink. Make good choices about whether to drink or not and about when to stop drinking. Feel self-confident enough to say no. Just because alcohol is available, or a host is pushing drinks,
Learn to protect yourself and loved ones from heart disease Dr. Terry A. Rondberg SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS
Heart disease is the No. 1 disease killer in the U.S., taking the lives of about 600,000 people each year – that’s one of every four deaths. Yet, according to conservative estimates by the American Heart Association, 80 percent of heart disease and stroke can be prevented. Rather than treat the disease after the fact, people can protect themselves and their loved ones from heart problems before they begin. To do that, people need to live a healthy lifestyle that incorporates scientifically validated wellness techniques including nutrition, exercise, meditation and other drug-free, non-invasive approaches to well-being. “There is much more to the prevention and treatment of heart disease than pills and procedures,” Dr. Stephen Devries said. Devries is the co-editor of the medical journal, Integrative Cardiology. The first step to take is eliminating any obviously dangerous areas, like obesity, excess alcohol consumption, smoking, or failing to get sufficient physical exercise into a person’s daily routine. After that, people need to look at their diet and nutrition. While diet is a major factor in heart disease, much of the information about a healthy diet is contradictory or confusing. One day, people are told to eat dark chocolate, the next day, the “super food” is flaxseed, and chocolate is out. There’s “good” and “bad” cholesterol; soluble and insoluble fiber; saturated, unsaturated and trans fats – and few people really understand the differences between any of them.

doesn’t mean you have to indulge. There’s nothing embarrassing about asking for a nonalcoholic drink. If someone tries to shame you into drinking, realize the problem is his, not yours. If you’re going to drink alcohol, decide ahead of time how many drinks are right for you. Choose a number that keeps you in control and stick to it. Use a designated driver. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair driving ability. Why take chances? No designated driver? Then call a cab. Don’t add to holiday stress and pressure with alcohol-related problems. You have the ability to make choices to drink wisely. If alcohol is a problem you can’t control, seek help. Your physician, hospital or a professional counselor can help you attack the problem.

als who can provide guidance into real life eating choices and special approaches like juicing, detoxing, drinking ionized alkaline water is essential for those who want to achieve maximum wellness. Probably the most important factor in heart disease and heart attacks is how your body handles stress. Stress causes a cascade of internal reactions including muscle tension, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and elevated levels of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Occasional short-term periods of stress are normal, and our bodies have the amazing power to regulate themselves and return to a normal state. But, as the Mayo Clinic said, “the long-term activation of the stress-response system, and the subsequent overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones, can disrupt almost all your body’s processes.” While meditation, yoga, relaxation, traditional massage, deep breathing, and visualization are useful in managing stress, there are many other things you can do to improve your health. Most people today associate stress strictly with emotional stress. Yet, physical tension caused by everything from poor body alignment and posture to non-ergonomically designed furniture can be just as harmful to the system, and creates a loop that produces more stress. Body tension can trigger pain and further constriction in nerves and blood vessels. Pain results in more emotional and mental stress, which tenses the muscles, which causes pain and the cycle continues. To address this complex situation, Dr. Rondberg has developed a wellness system for correcting interference in the brainstem. Relieving brainstem dysfunction allows the body to work more efficiently and increase total well-being. It also strengthens the immune system which can prevent many diseases and conditions, including heart disease. The fact is, without toxic drugs or invasive procedures, there are proactive steps people can take to shield themselves from heart disease.

Understanding health savings accounts TEMECULA – Navigating health insurance plans can be confusing. One health insurance product that’s relatively easy to understand is a health savings account, or HSA. This type of account can help account holders save money on the costs associated with their health care. What is an HSA? HSAs are like any other savings account, except they can be used for medical, vision and dental expenses. HSAs are tax-advantaged, meaning that income can be deposited into an HSA before it is taxed.
HSAs can only be opened and used in conjunction with a highdeductible health insurance plan, or those with a deductible of at least $1,300 for an individual or $2,600 for a family. HSA details and eligibility requirements Although HSAs have contribution limits, they’re advantageous in that the savings accumulated can be used to pay for noncovered, qualified medical expenses, such as copays, vision and dental care and even deductibles. HSAs may be established through an employer-sponsored
insurance plan or through a bank or other financial institution. To qualify, a person must be under the age of 65 and have a high-deducible health insurance plan. What are the advantages and disadvantages of HSAs? There are advantages and disadvantages to HSAs. HSA account holders can control how their saved money is spent, and there’s no risk of losing the money at the end of the year because it rolls over. Taxes are not paid on money going into the HSA. In addition, employers can contribute
to HSAs, and account holders do not lose their balances when they change jobs. Disadvantages include the challenge of setting aside money to put into the HSA, especially if finances are tight. One who has certain medical situations that are urgent may find that budgeting for an HSA is impractical. A retirement saving vehicle In addition to the other benefits mentioned, HSAs can be used as a way to invest in retirement. The resource NerdWallet, which offers financial tools and
objective advice to help people understand their options and make the best possible decisions, says an HSA is a good retirement savings option, especially for high-income earners who can’t make deductible contributions to a traditional individual retirement account or any contributions to a Roth IRA. HSAs can help offset health care costs and even help with long-term financial planning. For more health news or to comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.
New restrictions on drug coverage are a threat to patients Peter J. Pitts SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s toughest fight wasn’t on a basketball court. In his early 60s, the six-time NBA champion was diagnosed with leukemia, the deadly blood cancer. Fortunately, Abdul-Jabbar had access to state-of-the-art medications, including the advanced medicine Tasigna, which paralyzed his cancer cells and prevented further growth. Today, eight years after his initial diagnosis, AbdulJabbar is thriving and cancer-free. Unfortunately, many of today’s leukemia patients won’t be so lucky. CVS Health, the nation’s second largest pharmacy benefit manager that oversees 65 million Americans’ drug plans, recently rescinded coverage for Tasigna and 130 other specialty medicines. As a result, millions of people could be denied access to medicines that could save their lives. Instead of prescribing the medicines best-suited to patient needs, physicians will be forced to recommend lower-quality treatments. Pharmacy benefit managers administer the prescription drug plans used by health insurers and employers. In recent years, these organizations are stingy about which drugs they cover. Back in 2012, the nation’s largest pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts, excluded no medicines from its list of covered drugs, while CVS Health left off about 30 medications. Today, they exclude over 200, including an array of popular treatments for arthritis, hepatitis c and various skin conditions. Pharmacy benefit managers have also stopped paying for cuttingedge cancer treatments. In addition to Tasigna, CVS Health won’t cover the revolutionary prostate cancer treatment Xtandi. Meanwhile, Express Scripts just stopped covering Zyclara, a cream that can help prevent skin cancer. Pharmacy benefit managers are restricting drug access in other more devious ways as well. CVS Health is steering patients away from ultra-complex “biologic” medicines; forcing them to switch to lower-cost treatments the company claims are medically equivalent. In many cases, however, these less expensive therapies known as “biosimilars” aren’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be interchangeable with their brand name alternatives. Consider one study that compared the effectiveness of a Crohn’s disease treatment and its biosimilar. An alarming eight in 10 patients who took the biosimilar required a hospital readmission for additional treatment, compared to only one in 20 who took the original medication. Despite these disturbing results, pharmacy benefit managers are comfortable forcing patients to use biosimilars and generic medications. Their only concern is bringing down short-term drug spending, even if those savings come at a cost to patients’ wellbeing. Ironically, this strategy will end up raising health care costs in the long run. If doctors can only prescribe less-effective treat-
ments, people will get sicker, be hospitalized more frequently and require more expensive care. That demand will drive up overall health care costs and overwhelm doctors and hospitals with waves of new patients.
It doesn’t seem to matter to pharmacy benefit managers though. A dollar saved by avoiding top-notch medicines is a dollar that goes into their pockets, even if the patient becomes sicker on less effective treatments and racks up much
larger hospital bills for insurers and patients to pay down the road. Coverage denials are a deadly prescription for America’s patients. By shrinking coverage for cuttingedge treatments, they are forcing sick people to use substandard
medicines. It’s about time patients mount a full-court press against this callous behavior. Peter J. Pitts, a former FDA associate commissioner, is president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.
Patient centered, family sensitive care. “That caring, compassionate idea they have, it’s real.” That’s what heart patient Paul Joyce has to say when he looks back on his healthcare experience at Temecula Valley Hospital. When Mr. Joyce required treatment for a heart condition, he chose Temecula … and felt the difference. “It’s not lip service, it’s like the people there internalize it,” says Mr. Joyce. “You can’t fake that.” Temecula Valley’s emergency services and their clinical collaboration with UC San Diego Health for cardiac and stroke care were added checks in the plus column that totaled a win for Mr. Joyce. When you need medical treatment, think of Temecula Valley Hospital first. Experience our values of compassion, trust, courage and innovation … experience Temecula Valley Hospital.

Titans lost to Don Lugo 35-10 and the Heritage Patriots’ undefeated season came to a halt with their 23-19 loss to San Clemente. The Murrieta Valley Nighthawks soared past Norco 64-48 in their quarterfinal match-up Friday, Nov. 18, ousting the Cougars in a shootout where both teams chipped in with over onehundred overall points in the game. Sophomore quarterback Hank Bachmeier led the charge in a game that saw the Southwestern League pass leader complete 29 of his 37 passes, throwing for 423 yards on the night with 3 touchdowns. Bachmeier threw 2 touchdowns to junior Marquis Spiker (15 receptions, 241 yards) and another to senior Teirron “TJ” Griffin (6 receptions, 105 yards) and ran for two scores against the Cougars. The two teams combined for over 1,400 yards of offense, but Murrieta Valley’s total of 829 yards gives them the third highest number of allotted yards in the Inland Empire in recent years. Senior running back Lika Palmer had one of the best games of his high school career running for 344 yards against Norco, scoring four TD’s along the way. Palmer broke free for two of his longest runs of the post season, one 80-yard run on the first play of the game and another late in a close game with an 85-yard sprint to the end zone. The Nighthawks O-line which is made up of Clay Hatch, Anthony Pardue, Adam Meyer, Kimo Waialae and Tanoa Fedler never missed a beat in the game, opening hole after hole for the ground attack, and created countless opportunities for Bachmeier to deliver through the air.

With the second of their postseason wins, the Nighthawks are now 10-2 and will head to La Habra Friday, Nov. 25, to take on the Highlanders. La Habra beat Redlands East Valley 31-21 in the quarterfinals thanks to a huge 21-point second quarter. Game time is set for 7 p.m. The Rancho Verde Mustangs (11-1), out of the Inland Division, will also move on after beating Cathedral (11-1) 30-16 in their Division 3 match-up.

River Springs Charter School sees success with newly added cross country program
The boys’ and girls’ cross country teams from River Springs Charter School.
JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
In only their second year competing as one of the newest recognized CIF Southern Section sports programs, River Springs Charter School has made a statement in the world of cross country running. Tuesday, Nov. 1, the cross country teams from the Temecula chapter of River Springs competed in the Warrior League championships where the Centurions were hoping to place in the top three teams to advance to the CIF preliminaries. For the girls’ team, senior Brianna Schmitt did everything she could to work past an injury, but unfortunately it was not in the cards as she was not able to compete.
With Brianna in the rest of the team’s hearts, the remaining four runners, which included Makenzie, Anabelle, Zoe and Marika, had their best meet of the season. However, since they only had four out of the five competitors needed, per the rules of the sport, they were unable to score as a team. Junior Makenzie Collins, who battled at the top representing River Springs very well all season, captured a Warrior All-League second team award. On the boys’ side of the track, Cristian Peña (11), Even Berg (12), John Carlson (11), Ethan Hodge (10), Garret Nordstrom (9) Joseph Taylor (10) and Donovan Pinchot (10) captured third place in the league meet to advance to the CIF

prelims Saturday, Nov.12. At the prelims the River Springs boys’ placed 16th in Heat 2 of the Division 5 race, in front of Crossroads Christian, with a time of 1:53:38. Cristian Peña captured third place overall as an individual and was awarded with a Warrior All-League first team award, which only goes to the top six runners. “After a long summer of training and a long season mixed in, both our teams had amazing meets and truly competed against the 10 other local schools, says River Springs Athletic Director Dax McGregor. “We are very proud for all of the team’s dependability, dedication, hard work, loyalty to the school and team, and the sense of pride that they are bringing to our name.”

Temecula Valley’s Mey resigns, leaves football program after one-win season JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
After three seasons at the helm, Temecula Valley’s head football coach, Rick Mey, has resigned. Mey, 46, who came to Southwestern League from the Phoenix area in 2014, coached the Golden Bears to their first CIF post season appearance in his first season, garnishing a 6-5 overall record. That playoff appearance was the first for Temecula Valley since 2016. Since that first season that Mey took over, the Golden Bears varsity teams have gone 5-15. The former head coach said that much of his rationale behind his decision comes down to struggles to secure enough assistant coaches and of course having seven of his starters get hurt in the first half of the year didn’t bode well for the programs confidence as the team finished the year at 1-9. “Our program is in desperate need of more quality assistants on campus,” Mey said in a written statement. “I realize being from

Temecula Valley Music Awards host ‘A Night of Music for a Cause’

Swinging the night into action with musical performances from all genres, the Temecula Valley Music Awards hosted its third annual event Nov. 12. Located at a Murrieta restaurant, Franklin’s Cove, the TVMAs supported local musicians through recognizing their musical contributions to society. Announcing their official 501(c)(3) status during the event, the TVMAs will continue benefiting music education and give students and music lovers more opportunities to grow through music. The biggest issue of the night filled with musical performances, was finding seating for all the guests. Things were questionable for the awards to return in 2017 until Moyer received a call from the San Diego Reader. Moyer was informed that the TVMAs was the only local awards show left in Southern California because of the recent closure of the San Diego Music Awards. That news, coupled with the outpouring of artist’s support, motivated Moyer and the supporters to keep the event alive. Beginning the night at 5:30 p.m., guests were greeted with red carpet photos and check-in. From there, winning artists entered in their respective categories were announced. Through a diverse panel all in the music profession, entries were judged amongst strong competition. In the end, Best acoustic went to Bob Karwin, Best blues to Diana Rein, Best Country to Maddie Leigh, Best Cover Band was announced as a tie between Cougarzz Rocks and OS Roxx, Best Out of Town to Daring Greatly, Best Rock to Jarvis Brown, Best Tribute band to We Belong, Best Youth Cover to Makayla Phillips and Best Youth Original to Anthony Cullins. The drummer of We Belong accepted the award for Best Tribute Band along with his daughter. In his words, “Our tribute band is a tribute to Pat Benatar and her husband Neil Giraldo, I came to represent our band and am honored to accept the award.” Benatar’s hits inspired their work and have culminated to their award. Makayla Phillips, recipient of Best Youth Cover, said “I love it, they help

artists become who they are.” With intentions of helping budding artists’ careers like Phillips’ the night accomplished their mission and more. Award winners and guests alike were nothing but gratuitous for the cause they were supporting and the event put on.
Between announcing awards, performers volunteered their time to entertain the guests. Notable local featured artists were Maddie Leigh, Shea, Nathan Rivera and Jesse Andrea Smith, Joe Gillaspie, Sister Speak’s lead singer Sherri Anne, Daring Greatly, Black Hat
Patsy and local legend honoree of the night- Erik Turner from the rock band WARRANT who performed with his son Noah Turner on vocals and Chris Beall on drums. Nathan Rivera and Jesse Andrea Smith performed a duo kicking the night to a start with their bilingual lyrics in both French and English. Both past Temecula Valley Music Award winners, Blues for Nathan and Country for Jessie, Rivera jokingly boasted, “also when I was a child I was on honor roll once.” Their entrance was followed by Daring Greatly with a guest soloist, the Fallbrook Kid, Anthony Cullins. Performers came from distinct backgrounds with Daring Greatly and Sherri Anne of Sister Speak
from Canada all finding their way to the community. Black Hat Patsy’s performance later in the night utilized fog, lasers and light effects to accompany their music. Concluding the event, Tim Moyer joined Turner, Chris Beall and Noah Turner with their rendition of Afraid by the Neighborhood. The night also featured a guitar on raffle per donation of Turner. That plus other memorable moments such as Anthony Cullins’ inadvertent microphone drop made the night as the Temecula Valley Music Awards showcased the talent of the community and created an environment for musicians to thrive onstage and for scholarships.

Dining in the Valley
Give a nod to history with a turkey-free Thanksgiving Dinner TEMECULA – Low in fat, high in protein and an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, potassium and B vitamins, turkey makes a healthy addition to a person’s diet. Of course, turkey also tends to be the star of the show on Thanksgiving and other holidays. Even though turkey can be a delicious addition to any holiday table, some people prefer to buck Thanksgiving tradition from time to time and divert focus from the golden gobbler. Although turkey may be synonymous with Thanksgiving, hosts and hostesses should not shy away from serving something different. In fact, turkey may not even have been on the menu for the first Thanksgiving, which dates back to New England in November 1621, when newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered for an autumn harvest celebration. It’s reported that pilgrims went on a ‘fowling’ mission in preparation for the three-day feast. Although wild turkey was plentiful
in the region, ducks, geese, passenger pigeons and swans were commonly consumed. Historians at Smithsonian say documents refer to wildfowl and venison as foods appearing at the first Thanksgiving, but turkey was not mentioned. Home chefs can take a cue from those first pilgrims and choose less traditional offerings this Thanksgiving. The following are some ideas that are reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving. If the flavor is more palatable, don’t hesitate to select another bird to grace the Thanksgiving table, such as a goose or even a chicken. Some people find turkey meat to be too dry, despite all of the different preparation methods. Chicken or goose may be more well-received and just as versatile. Don’t overlook the possibility of serving fish and other seafood. Colonists and the Wampanoag probably ate eel, lobster, clams and mussels. Fish can be dried, smoked and

preserved. Replace wheat-based recipes with those made from cornmeal, as maize was more likely available during colonial time than wheat. Forests provided chestnuts, beechnuts and walnuts, so a platter of nuts paired with cheese or fruit also can make a welcome addition to the
table. Nuts also can be ground and used in baked goods or flavoring for Thanksgiving desserts. Pumpkin and squash were plentiful in colonial times, and this is why these gourds are often included in Thanksgiving meals and decor. The flesh of a pumpkin or squash can be turned into casseroles or used to make quiche. A traditional Thanksgiving meal for the early settlers would not have included potatoes. White potatoes originated in South America and sweet potatoes in the Caribbean. At the time of the first Thanksgiving, these would not yet have been introduced, as white potato patches in North America were not established in the region until 1719, according to the potato resource Potato Goodness. Because colonists did not have wheat flour and butter to make flaky tart crusts, pumpkin pie was not on
the first Thanksgiving menu. In lieu of pumpkin pie, hosts can experiment with moist loaf breads or muffins made with pumpkin. The average Thanksgiving dinner table today looks quite different from the one the Wampanoag Indians and Pilgrims gathered around centuries ago. Families can stick closer to history and tailor their meals for a touch of something different this year.

Local Realtor gives back with special ‘Star Wars, Rogue One’ preview Paisley Trent VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
What better way to give back to clients then through a pre-screening of the newest film in the iconic Star Wars legacy? On Dec. 15, Realtor James Shelby will be hosting an early showing of the upcoming and highly anticipated Star Wars, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as a client appreciation event. Besides the movie viewing, his past and current clients of Realty One Group Southwest also will
receive free concession stand vouchers and will have their pictures taken with movie props and a Shelby Sold sign. The event is an enjoyable opportunity for the realty business to thank its clients. As opposed to typical house parties, Shelby believes this event will give clients who haven’t met each other the opportunity to feel appreciated and get to know each other in a fun social atmosphere. Shelby chose to preview Rogue 1 because it is part of such a popular franchise. He believes apprecia-
tion and gratitude are important in business no matter what and that friendly business competition for clients is both a compliment to the business and its competitors. Shelby said that social media platforms are “huge in connecting with people in the community,” as it allows businesses to stay in touch with clients despite busy schedules. Though a website at www. shelbysold.com is in progress, the best way to contact Shelby is through Instagram @james_shelby.

Patience is a virtue in the long, drawn out election process Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Just a few short weeks ago I was thinking to myself, “Thank God, I am almost done with election coverage.” Well unfortunately for me that couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead of kicking back and relaxing, I find myself checking the Riverside Registrar of Voters webpage at least twice a week looking for updates on those absentee, provisional and damaged ballots. Most of the races were far enough off that we shouldn’t see any changes in them, but Temecula’s
that seems kind of surprising to me. I never could find anything that said the county was still counting ballots, but my mother informed me they still are and that she and one of her best friends – who happens to be running for city council – are eagerly awaiting final results since the race is at a dead tie with both candidates receiving 25 votes. Yes, that was 25 votes apiece – just for clarification, her town only has a population of 100. I went on to check the St. Mary’s County Supervisor of elections webpage and guess what? There are still votes to be counted there too. It’s another one that kind of sur-
prised me, St. Marys County has a population of 109,633. I thought for sure they would be done by now. I was a little more prepared when I went to the Camden County Registrar of Voters website in Georgia. I expected much of the same there, with a population of just over 51,000, initially I thought they would be done, but after seeing the goings on in Minnesota and Maryland, I figured they were still counting too, and yes, they were. Though it was nice to see Johnny Isakson retained his seat in the United States Senate and my old buddy William Ligon has won his seat in the state Senate, again.
Here in sunny Riverside County, votes are still being counted, but I guess that’s not so unusual. With another 100,000 or so provisional, absentee and damaged ballots left to count, I might be checking the Riverside County Registrar of Voters site for at least another week or two. In this world of instant gratification, I guess it’s good to be reminded to have some patience. My dad always said “Patience is a virtue.” So now I guess is a good a time as any to practice that patience as I await final results on Temecula’s Measure S.
islatures across the nation, in many ways California is moving against the tide. Even so, big changes are coming to Sacramento. When the Legislature is sworn in next month, women will hold 27 of 120 seats, four less than now. This decline is the result of a drop in Democratic women in the Senate, and Republican women in the Assembly. Another change is the
final turnover of the “old guard,” legislators elected under previous term limit rules that limited assembly-members to three two-year terms and Senators to two four-year terms. The Assembly old guard is gone now, and few old guard Senators remain. The most significant change may be the partial re-establishment of the Democrat two-thirds Super
Majority in the State Assembly. A two-thirds majority gives the dominant party the power to raise taxes, pass constitutional amendments and override gubernatorial vetoes without any votes from the minority party. However, though votes are still being counted as this is written, it appears that Democrats were unable to re-establish a two-thirds majority in the Senate,
making any plans they may have to weaken Proposition 13 or increase taxes uncertain at best. As the new session begins, I will continue to work with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get Californians back to work, safeguard our communities, provide quality schools for our children, and upgrade the state’s antiquated highway and water infrastructure.
if a retired CEO of Fox News last week went public and stated, “most of their anchors are but mere shills for the RNC?” What if a paid contributing affiliate of Fox sent two debate questions to Trump (for another Republican presidential nominee) ahead of the debate, and did the same thing later, sent two questions to Trump himself, before Trump
debating the democrat nominee? Do you think this would be a 24/7 item for a week or two? Please answer the questions, then continue. Retired CEO of CNN last week indicates the majority of their anchors are but shills for the DNC. I watched Wolf Blitzer (CNN) say, “We will do everything in our power here at CNN, to get Hillary
Clinton into the White House.” Donna Brazile, is fired from CNN as they discovered she fed Clinton, and I mean Clinton two questions prior to the Bernie Sanders debate and then did the same prior to the Trump debate, ie., fed Clinton two questions to prep for, prior to the debate. Response from Brazile was no regrets
Response from Clinton was no response. America used to have an informed public, but then America used to have journalists and a media with a moral compass.
Castino, and it was really a great experience. Doug educated me on Life Insurance of which I was very confused
and helped me find a plan that best suited my needs. I chose the life insurance with living benefits as it protects me in the event I have
a life altering event such as cancer and pays cash while I’m still alive. I didn’t know it was going to be so affordable and I would recom-
mend that anyone needing financial planning talk to Doug Castino! Scott Alexander Fallbrook, California
stood out to me. I find it very hard to understand that in this time and age we have a very weak technology system. For something as important as voting we should have an even
better type of technology. People feel like their rights and privacy are being invaded because of this situation. Somehow the County needs to be able to afford a much more
superior computer system. This must be a priority as soon as possible, so this doesn’t lead to an even bigger problem with people’s personal information. Thank you for taking the time
to read this, if you are able please let me know your thoughts.
Measure S, is currently sitting at just a few hundred votes apart from passage or failure. So now, nearly three weeks after the election, I continue to monitor the process, and that seems like an awful long time to me. I decided to check some other areas where I have lived to see if they are still running into the same problem. On the website for Kandiyohi County in West Central Minnesota, where my hometown is. I was quickly directed to the Secretary of State website where I discovered that the election results there are still unofficial. With the county’s population of only 42,000

Schold teaches first grade, serves as an adviser on the Curriculum Advisory Committee and serves as the director of the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program on campus. Baskent recognized Schold for her giving nature, observing that each year, she voluntarily purchases books for each of her students. “The Teacher of the Month program truly enlightens us to the remarkable teachers we have right here in the Elsinore Valley,” said Kim Joseph Cousins, president of the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore. “Congratulations to the three
teachers who have shown us the enthusiasm and love they have for their students.” The Teacher of the Month program is hosted on the third Wednesday of every month during the school year at the Lake Elsinore Rotary Club meeting. The Club meets at 7 a.m. at Ortega Conference Center, 512 Chaney St. in Lake Elsinore for the event. The public is welcome to attend the awards or Rotary’s weekly meetings.

The proposed changes to a classroom, and creation of a culinary lab and a café for sales to teachers were recently previewed by staff and guests by means of a virtual reality demonstration. “Our design team, HMC Architects from Ontario, California, brought in their equipment and headsets, and helped us virtually walk through the planned teaching and learning spaces,” said Vince Record, SJUSD’s Director of Career and College Readiness. “We used state-of-the- art tools to review our newest education
surroundings to equip students in and for the 21st century,” said Dr. Record. “It isn’t Home Ec. anymore!” he noted. The district will receive $1.2 million over the grant period, and will begin construction as soon as this upcoming winter break. “It was very easy for me to experience the height of the proposed counters and work spaces with the virtual reality gear, and even see that we’ve planned out the equipment storage areas just right – all before we started drilling holes in the floor!” said Debra Ward, culinary arts teacher. Mrs. Ward has been teaching in the district for six years, and has really expanded the program to include catering for school events and other community programs over the past three years. The San Jacinto High School CTE-Perkins Advisory Committee, led by Record consisting of SJHS staff, CTE teachers and community business partners, has been very ac-
tive with expanding programs and making improvements to ensure graduates are ready for the community’s workforce or add additional education in a career path of their choice. Chef William Ramsey of the Maze Stone Restaurant at The Country Club of Soboba Springs, is an advisory committee member and very excited to share his knowledge with SJHS culinary students. “The virtual reality tour of the new facilities was terrific,” said Chef Ramsey. “I was able to share with the architects some design features that are practical and real world, and very much a part of today’s hospitality industry. I am looking forward to watching our local students prepare for their futures in modern kitchens for this field.” To join or for more information about CTE-Perkins Advisory Committee, contact Record at vrecord@ sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

Every year, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s K9 Team hosts a K9 competition and invites law enforcement agencies from across the country to compete in their annual K9 Trials. This year, the department held its 21st Annual Riverside County Sheriff’s Department K9 Trials Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4 and 5. The trials were held at George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center in the City of Norco. A total of 54 K9 Teams participated in this year’s event. During the trials dog and handler teams compete against each other during a twoday competition designed to test the K9 Teams in a variety of essential areas such as narcotic detection, evidence location, agility, obedience, area search, building search and protection. This year’s K9 Trials proved to be exceptionally successful for many local teams including the Riverside County Sheriff’s K9 Team, which is made up of 28 deputies stationed across the county. The different teams feature a variety of search and apprehension capabilities. Their primary goal is to combat crime and keep citizens and law enforcement officers safe. “For law enforcement agencies, these competitions are instrumental for the further education of K9 teams by comparing training programs and team performance,” a sheriff’s representative explained. Local K9 dog and handler teams sweep the competition The first day of the K9 Trials was closed to the public and focused on narcotics detection and evidence search with 51 K9 teams competing. Several local dogs and their handlers grabbed top positions in the different competitions designed to test the teams in a variety of different real-world scenarios. At the conclusion of the first day’s competition, Kevin Brooks and K9 Ivan from the Moreno Valley Police Station grabbed third place overall. Smith Correctional Facility’s Deputy Richard Naccarato and K9 Zuki took fourth place overall. A number of other Riverside County Sheriff’s dog and handler teams scored awards on the first day of competition. Two K9 Teams from Moreno Valley Police Department won awards; including Deputy Matt Schmidt and K9 Dre who took first place in the narcotic vehicle search competition and Deputy Jason Santistevan and K9 Ozzie who grabbed first place in evidence search. Palm Desert Station’s Deputy Pat
Mushinskie and K9 Rio snagged third place in evidence search and fourth place in the narcotic vehicle search competition. Deputy Brent Cisneros and K9 Kobus from the Lake Elsinore Station scored second place in parcel narcotic search. Colorado River Station’s Deputy Jesse Deacon and K9 Chico took first place in parcel narcotic search and fifth place evidence search. Deputy Ted Peterson and K9 Grace finished second place in narcotic vehicle search. Fifty-four K9 teams competed on the second day of the K9 Trials with a number of Riverside County based K9 Teams winning additional awards. Deputy Matt Allert and K9 Grady from the Palm Desert Station took third place in the agility competition and fourth place in protection. Deputy Matt Schmidt and K9 Dre from the Moreno Valley Station grabbed third place in protection. Perris Station’s Deputy Tim Quick and K9 Renzo finished fifth place in the area search competition. Other local K9 dog and handler teams that won awards during the competition included Hemet Police Department’s Officer Gomez and K9 Jack who placed second in the search competition and fifth place in the protection competition. Murrieta Police Department also scored high during the competition and had three K9 Teams that won awards during the K9 Trials. Officer Hollenweger and K9 Rocky grabbed first place in building search and fifth place in obedience, Corporal Elliott and K9 Kazan scored first place in the area search competition, and Officer Mikowski and K9 Pak finished second place in evidence search. Once all the scores from both days’ competitions had been tallied, Colorado River Station’s Deputy Jesse Deacon and K9 Chico finished third place in the overall competition. And, for the first time since 2007, a Riverside Sheriff Department handler and K9 took home the coveted Top Dog award, with Indio Station’s Deputy Dave Morton and his K9 companion Troy sweeping the competition. More than just a K9 competition One of the big crowd pleasers on the second day of the competition was the public safety fair. The fair featured food vendors, children’s activities, raffles and a meet and greet with K9’s and their handlers. Representatives from local fire departments, the Riverside County Underwater Search and Recovery Team, the Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, the Hazardous Device Team, Special Enforcement Bureau and Aviation Team

were on-site to mingle with the crowds and provide demonstrations to the public while the K9 teams competed. “The public safety fair is a rare opportunity to see public safety’s finest at work,” officials said. “We would like to thank all the K9 teams that attended for helping to make this
event a great success.” To see or purchase photos from the event, visit Karen Hight online at DogPhotog.net or call (949) 300-0627. For more local news or to comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Red Wing Shoes brings Old World craftsmanship and modern styling

Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce celebrated the grand opening of Red Wing Shoes at 40573 Margarita Road, Suite C, across from the Promenade Mall in Temecula with a ribbon-cutting Nov. 4. Owner and operator Bill Sweazey is the fourth generation of his family carrying on the tradition of making and selling Red Wing Shoes. Sweazey is opening up stores, learning about the customer and how products are being used. His sister, Allison, also works for Red Wing
Shoes, but in the corporate office designing stylish and comfortable footwear.
“Our ancestors worked hard to create a workplace within a small town that encourages community spirit and pride in our work,” Sweazey said. “It is more than just a job.” The company is 105 years old and is known for its classic boots for serious tradesmen. They made boots for soldiers in World War I and II as well as industry-specific boots for the oil industry and other trades. The highquality shoes and boots are hand-cut, hand-fitted and triple-stitched. Even the thread has latex melted onto it to waterproof it. In addition to durable classic boots, Red Wing Shoes also provides contemporary stylish footwear for men and women, utilizing the same quality craftsmanship. “We look for locations that fit with
our sense of values to open Red Wing Stores,” Sweazey said. “Temecula, a growing city with an abundance of opportunity, came up as a great spot to be on our map. The work is plentiful, and the people are welcoming. The city has a great mix of industry
and entertainment that draws a good crowd. We will be opening a handful of stores throughout the Inland Empire, but from my own personal research, there is no other place I’d want to raise my family. Thanks for having us Temecula.”

Local company issues Christmas Shoebox Challenge Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
A BETTER LOOK Home Inspections Company has issued a challenge to local realty and mortgage offices to compete in donating Christmas shoeboxes to local charities. The charities are the Community Food Pantry of Murrieta, the families of S.M.U.R.F., and the families at S.A.F.E. ABL is offering their awardwinning chili from the recent third Annual SRCAR Chili Cook-Off, cornbread and a drink in exchange for a shoebox full of goods, $10 worth of donated goods, or $10 donation. The donation/chili event was held at 12 p.m., Nov. 23 at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce office, 25125 Madison Avenue, Suite 108, in Murrieta. ABL continues to seek donations of toys, toiletries, school supplies and clothing to fit in the shoeboxes. For details on the event or donations, contact Jolynn Lakeman at
abl.jolyn@gmail.com. The Community Food Pantry of Murrieta serves 400 to 500 registered families in Murrieta, French Valley and Winchester each week and needs 160,000 pounds of food each month in order to do so. S.M.U.R.F. is an acronym for Single Mothers United in Rewarding Fellowship, a ministry providing support – basic needs, skills, empowerment – for single mothers. The group provides a weekly meal and scheduled programs as well as specific help (community services referrals: housing, food, health care, child care, legal aid, etc.) S.A.F.E. is an acronym for Safe Alternatives for Everyone provides “services for children, youth and families who have experienced, or are at risk of abuse and violence.” The group recently celebrated its 15th year anniversary serving local victims and families.

reasons to list your home during the 1 2 3 4 5
People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so you have less competition. Houses “show better” when decorated during the holidays. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays.
Bottom line? By listing now, you may have fewer actual showings, but more qualified and motivated buyers.
6 7 8 9 10
holidays
Many people want to buy before the end of the year for tax reasons. We help many large corporations relocate their employees prior to the beginning of the year. You may still restrict showings during your personal family events. You can sell now, but specify a delayed closing or extend occupancy until early next year if you desire. By selling now you have an opportunity to buy during the spring when many houses are on the market.
The Reason. You have less competition, resulting in a quicker sale and a better price for you.
plus WE WIll DONATE FOR YOu!
Kim and Ken Real Estate Group believes strongly in giving back to our community.
This holiday season we will donate
$300 To your favoriTe chariTy for each referral that lists or purchases with us!!!

Twelve security reminders for the 12 days of Christmas your home and minimize the chance of a break-in during this holiday season while giving you a much greater peace of mind while you are out and about celebrating with those who are the most important to you. Make Sure Your Home Looks Lived-In: If you’re taking the family over the hills and through the woods to Grandmothers house … or have any other travel plans, make sure you have made arrangements to pick up any packages that may be delivered and pick up all the junk-papers and flyers that habitually left in your driveway or on your doorstep. Let the post office know by going online and putting in a ‘vacation hold’ on your mail. It’s free and so simple! Consider putting several lights, throughout the home on a timer to
Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Happy Thanksgiving! To me this is the official start of the Holiday Season, regardless of which holiday you choose to celebrate. There will be trips to the mall, lots of eating out and of course entertaining and going to parties, visiting with friends, family and loved ones. The question of the day is, are you and your home safe? There is nothing more depressing than having your home broken into and looted. It can be very traumatic to experience damage to your home, loss of personal property and just the whole depression that will surely engulf your entire family. There are a number of steps that you can take which will help protect

make it look as if someone is home. You can even have your television come on for a few hours, each evening. With today’s electronics, it is relatively easy to set up a fairly complex pattern of lights that would reflect your normal patterns. Holiday Lights are Important: Look around the neighborhood…do most of your neighbors have Christmas Lights up? Well, so should you! It’s fun to decorate, no doubt about it. However, if you are planning on being away, don’t dismiss the tradition. Hang the lights and set them on a timer – otherwise you might as well put a sign in the yard and advertise that you’re gone. Where is Your Christmas Tree?: Thieves are always looking for an easy point of entry and exit. A Christmas tree displayed in the front window might be a tempting target, when there are wrapped packages on display. The temptation to ‘smash and grab’ might be too much for some. What’s in Your Trash?: Has Santa left a big screen TV, maybe a new XBox 4 or even a new computer? These boxes are calling cards for thieves and an invitation to break into your home. Make sure any boxes from high-ticket

items are broken down and put into either a trash bag or the recycle trash can (with the lid down firmly). Never leave boxes stacked at the curb! Spare Key: How original is it to hide a key under a rock, in a planter or even under the front door mat? Don’t you think thieves know how to look for these keys? The best place to leave a spare key is with a trusted friend. Social Media is NOT Private: Today, ‘Social Media’ is a very integrated part of our lives – but please be careful. If you’re taking off – don’t announce your travel plans to the world. The details about when you’re leaving and how long you’ll be gone allow for a potential thief to schedule breaking into your home, at their convenience. Also, as you’re traveling, resist the urge to ‘check-in’ and post pictures and posts about the wonderful things you are doing and seeing. Save it for when you get back and tell the whole story all at once. Don’t Label Your Home: Is your name on display on the outside or your mailbox, above your door bill or perhaps there is a Welcome Sign with the family name on it. The problem with taking pride and putting your name on your home is that potential thieves can

use this bit of information to research your family to gain information such as your phone number – so they can call you and see if you are home. “Signs” of the Time: All alarm companies will provide the homeowner with a yard sign and window decals that announce that the home is protected by a monitored alarm. This is a strong deterrent that most thieves will choose to avoid. If you don’t have an alarm, there are mock signs and decals that can be purchased. If you can’t find them in a local retail store, look online at places like Amazon or eBay. They are relatively inexpensive and will act as a deterrent while helping protect your home and possessions. What About Your Garage Door?: There are many tools readily available to thieves that will scan for garage door codes. It only takes a moment for them to open your garage, drive in and close the door behind them, giving them ample opportunity to ransack your home and load their vehicle, while you’re off on your vacation. The best way to combat this is to disable your garage door. My favorite is to go ahead and unplug it. You’ll need a ladder – leave it in place so when you return, it will be simple to re-plug it and open the door – but the thieves will never be able to open it or find your code for a future use. Securely Store Your Valuables: It’s good to have an added level of protection for your valuables. Consider installing a home safe or take your jewelry and other valuables to a bank and put them in a safe deposit box. Of course, a safe deposit box is limited in size, while a safe can be purchased to accommodate all of your valuables and weapons as well. Install a Home Security System: Above, in No. 8, we recommended that you install signs indicating you have a home security system. Well, the best thing you can do is take is a step further and actually install a home security system. Not only do today’s systems notify the authorities in case of a break-in or fire but they can be set so that each user has a unique code so you’ll know exactly when each family member comes and goes. Another feature available with home security systems is the use of wireless cameras that can be broadcast to a mobile device, through a Wi-Fi connection to the internet. This way, if the camera is triggered, you’ll not only be notified immediately, you’ll be able to see who is there. Fortify Your Home: No, we’re not suggesting bars on your windows but there are steps you can take to fortify your home. Install solid core doors, heavy duty locks, longer screws in the lock strike plates and door hinges, and install secondary security devices on all accessible sliding windows. Follow any of these suggestions and you’ll minimize the chances of your home being burglarized this holiday season while you and your family are out making a little Ho, Ho, Ho. Call us today at (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an educated decision.
