California State Parks 2015 Annual Pass Program brings back favorites old and new It’s not common to see snow sweep down into the valley like this.

In January 2015, the Department of California State Parks Annual Park Pass Program is bringing back the popular “Golden Poppy” Pass and introducing the new Tahoe Area Regional Pass. see page A-8

Jodi Thomas AVO Area Manager The past week in Anza has given the phrase ‘Cold as Ice’ new meaning. It has been a long time since it has been this cold in the valley at night and in the day as well.

For the first time in a long time, it snowed all the way down into Temecula and even Lake Elsinore, making the snow storm of Dec. 30, 2014, one for the record books. All across the southland, even in SoCal beach cities, the night time temps have dipped down to freez-

ing. The talk around town is that the morning after the snow, Dec. 31, it was 6 degrees outside. The temperatures more recently have been between 16 and 21 degrees in the morning, depending on where in Anza Valley a person lives.

Part two of the Anza Valley Outlook’s chat with park founders The Jojoba Hills saga is an example of an exemplary group of volunteers, most of whom are now in their 80s and 90s. They were part of a generation that would not take “no,” as the final answer. Instead, they worked together with one local contractor, Michael Machado, at the helm to find a way to create what now is heralded as one of the premier SoCal Co-op RV Parks in California, if not the Nation. Jojoba Hills is well known for its community, amenities, design and livability. This RV Park was cut out of what was deemed an impossible task, due to the area’s steep and sandy topography. What resulted was an unusual one of a kind storm water runoff design that has handled what nature has thrown at it, keeping the parks soil and storm water runoff on the premises for two decades. The system was design by Machado’s team and is considered an engineering wonder. As Machado tells it, many young engineers come to visit Jojoba Hills to this day to learn about Jojoba’s

amazing Storm Water Runoff Containment system. The ‘Founders Chat’ continues as their stories are shared. Before Jojoba Hills, the group purchased a different piece of property

When stories unfold often they unfold out of order and that is how I first learned about the original property that the Escapee (SKP for short) RV Club’s Chapter 13 group purchased on Sage road. I was told that no matter how much they courted the neighbors who

lived around the sage property, the neighbors would not give their permission for an RV park to be built there. It was sold and that is when they purchased the defunct RV Park that became Jojoba Hills.

Valley Gospel Chapel children put on rendition of ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas’ Jodi Thomas AVO Area Manager Valley Gospel Chapel (VGC) was overflowing with friends and family who came to watch the children put on their rendition of “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” in December. The children’s director and helpers transformed the children and the church stage into Wholand, a place where a grumpy, faithless, green and hairy Grinch goes to steal the Who’s Christmas. He is jealous of what the Who’s have: Cozy homes, family, joy and faith. He desperately wants to destroy what he thinks is most The VGC Children Church Players.

Anza Local

Why I appreciate America’s veterans Recently, the local VFW held their National VFW Patriot Pen Essay contest. Local winners were acknowledged at a luncheon this last December. I asked if some of the VFW essay winners would like to share their award-winning essays with our readership and Allana Lopez sent her’s in. I also asked if anyone in her family would like to say something about the experience; Allana declined, but mom April Lopez shared this sediment, “Mom and Dad are very proud of how hard she worked on this assignment and how she quietly succeeds.” -- Jodi Thomas AVO Area Manager The following is her Winning Patriot Pen Essay:

Allana Lopez Special to the Anza Valley Outlook Veterans protected my country and the freedom I have, by risking their lives for mine. I looked up online quotes about veterans and one stood out to me. It was from Judd Gregg, who said, “The veterans of our military services have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. They have dedicated their lives to their country and deserve to be recognized for their commitment.” The freedom I have by living in the United States is protected by the people in the armed forces. I am very thankful that there are people in the world that put their lives on the line every day to protect their country. Those people are not self-

ish at all, unlike other people in the world. My religious freedom is very important and I believe that we do live in “one nation under God.” The definition of a veteran is a person who has served in the armed forces. America’s veterans are not selfish at all. They go wherever they are told to go. They also work really hard for little pay. I am so thankful that there are people in the world that are willing to risk their lives for our country. Most of the time we are out doing our own thing, not even thinking about America’s veterans. These veterans risk their lives for the freedoms I enjoy and value. I think that everyone in the world should try harder to recognize and appreciate America’s veterans. The world is slowly forgetting more and more about the people in the armed forces. I say armed forces because

Allana Lopez reads her award-winning essay at the VFW Luncheon.

some of the people are not veterans yet, but that does not mean that they are not a big part of the United States’ freedom.

Allison Renck photo

The freedom of our country was earned, not given to us. I think that, without freedom, people would wish that they had recognized and

appreciated the people that have been and are in the armed forces more. That is why I appreciate America’s veterans.

Mountains to the North of the Anza Valley the morning after the storm.

SNOW from page A-1 without water. This extreme cold front came out of nowhere while we were enjoying a warm fall and according to NOAA the cold will be leaving this upcoming week. By print time, warm temperatures should have returned. In some SoCal areas they may even reach into the low 80s by Friday. This is hard to believe as we bundle up for another cold night with the snow still lingering in the shadows and thick ice forming on the horse’s water trough. Note: Finding a reliable source for local weather can be a challenge. If you haven’t noticed yet watch the TV local weather person next time you have their program on. As they stand in front of their map showing all around the southland, our area shows up as a giant blank spot. Our town’s name and the temps are not listed on any channel. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA was shared with me by several residents in the area as a reliable online source for local weather news. I have found this to be so but as with all weather, things change and sometimes quickly. A good example is the recent incoming cold front, which they did post days in advance. Their web address is www.noaa. gov. If you have snow and ice stories or photos you would like to share email them to editor@ anzavalleyoutlook.com.

Entering Whoville at VGC Children’s Christmas Play

So Many Ways To Win

GRINCH from page A-1 important to the Whos. He sees only the outside and material things, and thinks that this must be what makes them happy. He notices that Christmas was the time of year they were the happiest of all. So he decides to ruin their happy homes by stealing all that represents Christmas: Christmas trees, ornaments, tinsel, stockings, presents and lights all while dressed as Saint Nick.

In one house he meets little Cindy Lou Who, and her sweetness, faith, and innocence begins to melt his cold heart. It was that encounter that starts the Grinch on his journey to learn what truly brings Whoville’s Whos lives true joy. The children explained that it is not Christmas trees, ornaments, tinsel, stockings, presents and lights but their faith and relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ, who is

the reason that they celebrate 1-877-WIN-PALA (1-877-946-7252) Christmas.

Anza Local JOJOBA from page A-1 John Macon told me about a quote from a founder that was printed in a local newspaper at the time when they were courting the Aguanga neighborhood back in the late 1980s. The quote said, “We did not come to take your jobs, to fill your schools; we came here to spend the money we earned somewhere else. Well, that worked because when the group went before the county in the beginning for permits for the Aguanga site, one neighbor showed up to testify his whole-hearted support for the project. Back to the committees To this day the Jojoba Hill community depends on committees to run smoothly and to enhance the members’ quality of life at the park. In the early days this time tested tradition was used to help build the park. Some of the committees had imaginative names like The Rockettes and Wampum Makers. Each organized building group/ committee would meet at the ‘Burn Barrel’ each morning to get their building orders from Machado. Many were not only on a building committees but also committees that served the everyday needs of living; some of these jobs were honey pot collection and trash collection. A group of “dump runners” sorted and delivered the parks community mail. There were also committees that performed administrative duties as well as ones that were in charge of membership sales and organized fundraisers to pay for needed extras. There were those who served to raise the moral of the builders’ daily, delivering cookies and coffee each day to the workers. There were committees who planned social activities such as Ice cream socials and barbecues. There were committees that were concerned about the beautification and the shared outdoor living areas of the park who planted plants, built park benches, designed and created trails and special garden stops along the way throughout the park. Utilizing their imagination and ingenuity, they also incorporated the many ponds that are a part of the Jojoba’s storm water runoff system. Each job was an important part of the puzzle that made and makes Jojoba great to this day 25 years later. The amazing part is that while some Founding members stayed during the whole building process, others would come and go. Together they formed a bond at any given time to accomplish the great goal to create their dream park. Newcomers would jump right in to fill the hole that needed to be filled from others who left. Others would see a need and be creative fulfilling that needed task. This was something the Founders’ kept talking about during our chat and something that is reflected in the journal of Viola Wilcox, the park’s first office manager. The Famous Rockettes I believe we were in the Pool Game Room; it was nice and quiet. Not too far into our founder’s chat with Loyed Fraught, Alice Wyman and Chuck Wyman, Jim Arnett and Ann Arnett arrived. They were introduced to me by my trusty guide for the day, Katy Vick, Jojoba Hills’ corporate communications co-chair. As they walked around the pool table to find a seat, Loyed said to Ann, “Tell her about being a Rockette!” “Yes, tell her,” Alice chimed in. “She probably thinks she was a dancer, calling her a Rockette, exclaimed one of the men,” but that’s not it. “The Rockettes were famous,” another said.

The first three founders were excited to explain, almost in unison. Rounding the pool table Ann found a chair for her and Jim and sat down. As she did she began to explain to me just what a Rockette was and the rest politely listened. You could see the memory of the task given to her was something she cherished. She quickly explained that while she was on other committees that handled administrative work like writing the parks rules, she wanted to do more. She wanted to build, to be a part of the physical creation of the park. You could see how she felt; the determination showed in her face as she explained how she went to the to the “Burn Barrel” each morning and bugged poor Mike Machado until he gave her a job. Machado thought up the job to line the culverts swells with rock. It would be durable and a pleasing site. Above all it would save the group money, as rocks were plentiful. So Ann and other ladies began to piece together rocks to fill the swells along the road and rocks to build the rock retaining wall near the entrance; the group became known as the Rockettes. Given a job, Ann was now on a mission to find the strongest and best fitting rocks for her intended part of the project that day. She said each day she would go to the piles of dirt and pull out rocks. She and the other ladies would one at a time lift a rock up high and dash it down. If it broke at all, the rock was no good and it would be thrown away. Then process would start all over again until good strong rocks were found. The next criteria would be shape and beauty; a rock had to fit the project and be appealing to the eye as well. These rocks were fashioned to fit perfectly together and then the ladies cemented them in. Their work is amazing and beautiful. It lines the steep main road going into the park past the Old Ranch house and up into the newer part of the park that was such a feat to build. After Ann was done explaining the Rockettes, she next explained about her husband Jim’s job. “He operated one of the backhoes, not just any backhoe,” Ann exclaimed beaming with pride, “But the Massy Ferguson.” The one who would eventually earn the nickname, “Malfunction.” This was due to its difficulty to use and the fact that it was always breaking down, Ann said. Jim’s patience, knowhow and ingenuity kept his part of the project going even in the face of being assigned the Massy Ferguson backhoe, the “Malfunction.” These thoughts were conveyed by his wife, as her face beamed with pride. Though Jim’s work is underground it laid the foundation for the Rockettes and others to work upon. Conclusion The work of the founders that built Jojoba Hills stands as a testament to their tenacity and willingness to give their very best, like the Rockettes’ when picking out the perfect rock.

Zoe Macon, John Macon and Kathy Vick are keeping the dream alive; they helped make the day very special.

Trees and plants are used to create a tranquil atmosphere at Jojoba Hills. Plants are raised by the garden committee and, for a small fee, members can buy plants to beautify their space.

The Fellowship Hall front tables are full of founders being honored at the Jojoba Hills 25th Anniversary event.

Ending Note: Later I would learn why the rocks were perhaps so brittle and just how much rock there must have been, as they had to blast a considerable amount of tonnage to build roads and the upper part of the park. That story is to come as we explore Jojoba’s story from another angle: from the project’s manager and general contractor Michael Machado. He was the keynote speaker at the event that honored the Founders’ and the Park’s 25th Anniversary. Highlights of his speech will be coming in the next issue of the AVO. - Jodi Thomas

Anza Local AVCS presents its rendition of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

Angels, talking presents, toys, children and parents go on a journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas in the AVCS presentation of It’s a Wonderful Life.

Cast and crew stand at the play’s end for one more bow before the crowd.

Jodi Thomas AVO Area Manager Anza Valley Christian School’s Christmas play this past year was an adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life. Angels, talking presents, toys, children and parents go on a journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas. AVCS Board Member Renette Davies said many people attended the event. “We were so pleased with the turnout,” Davies said. “I think it was the biggest crowd we have ever had. The children did such a wonderful job and the message of the play, about what the true meaning of Christmas is, was challenging.” Davies said she believes Christmas should be a Christ-centered holiday and that the play functioned as a great exemplification

of that idea. “Without the birth of Christ Jesus, there would be no Christmas trees, decor and the tradition of giving gifts,” she said. “After all Jesus was the first and most important gift of all. He is the gift that can still be accepted and received by people today resulting in changed lives for eternity. I am so thankful for the Bible that explains all this for us.” Nine-year-old Alejandro Lopez, a fifth grade student, played Foster, the main character of the play. Foster enters the play as a materialist who cares only about presents but then begins to realize that Christmas has a deeper meaning. “I already have a relationship with Jesus and if there was anyone at the play that didn’t know about Jesus, I hope at the end they too realized that Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas,” Lopez said.

Ice men Mallard Fudd Local Contributor Years ago, I had an occasion to venture into a little valley just east of Anza. A friend and I did so on the spur of the moment one winter night because he had heard of a Christmas party that we were invited to. At the time I drove one of the most trustworthy vehicles in the world, a 1962 Ford Falcon. I had driven this car in places where men in their four wheel drive vehicles would look out of their windows in wonder. It was a cold and windy night, but that didn’t stop us. We headed into the valley and as we reached a dirt road that we were supposed to take into the mountains and follow for about six miles, several things happened at once. First the wind had picked up and snow was not falling but being blown sideways; we had a full blown blizzard going on. Second, just as we started into the mountain road, the car stalled and wouldn’t restart. (we tried until the battery went dead.) What to do? We could stay in the car where we would probably eventually go to sleep. And on a night like this freeze to death in the car.

The pond We could try walking to our destination which was still a good five and a half miles up a mountain where the snow and wind would undoubtedly be worse, or we could walk back to a café and bar that was about five miles back toward Anza. In those days both of us had long hair and beards (which were to our favor that night), we had two old army blankets that I always carried in the car, and a fifth of whiskey. We decided that staying in the car would most certainly mean dying. The muddy dirt road led to even higher elevations into the mountains, and possibly more snow. Traveling that way was out of the question. Grabbing the blankets and putting them over our heads and around our shoulders, and taking the whiskey, we started to set out. Before we went, having more wilderness experience than my friend, I set some rules. The snow was now blowing sideways so I told him, “We probably won’t live through this but we might make it if we just keep walking no matter what. If we sit down we are dead for sure. So if you try to sit down on me I’m going to kick you square in the tail.” He agreed to do the same for me. We set off. The cold at first was unbearable, we took a sip of

the whiskey (which they say is the wrong thing to do but it did make us feel warmer) and kept walking. Over the hours my friend tried to sit down twice. The first time I talked him into going on. The second time I had to actually kick him. We walked for what seemed like an eternity until we finally saw the lights of the Tavern. Thank God it was still open. As we approached, we could heard the music of the band playing inside. It seemed like it took all we could do to struggle the last few hundred feet, but we made it and burst in through the Tavern door. All eyes turned toward us, the music then stopped and people just stared. Finally, friends of ours recognized us and ushered us to the bar. There in the mirror I saw what they saw. Two men with blankets over their heads. The blankets had at least a quarter of an inch of ice on them and covered on top of that with snow. Our hair and beards had icicles hanging from them and were covered with snow. Eyes were a blazing red. I was amazed they had let us in the Tavern. We looked like wild ice men. But we made it. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Mallard Fudd Local Contributor This last week seemed like a pretty cold week in Anza. Of course, it didn’t compare to the low temperatures or longevity of cold that is experienced in other places in the “lower 48” like Midwest or Northeastern U.S. Near where I live is a pond, and while taking a long walk this morning, I had a chance to go by said pond. The south end of the pond was completely frozen over, which reminded me of something that happened to my father years ago in Anza. I remember him telling me that there came upon Anza a really harsh winter. The temperature dropped to eight degrees and stayed that way for a solid three weeks. Now during this time he told me that he had a pond on his property

and that occasionally during the winter flocks of Canadian honkers would come and land on it on their way south. On the sixth day of the freeze my father woke up one morning to find that he no longer had a pond. Not a trace. Not being able to figure out what had happened he had just gotten into his car and started driving to work. About a mile from his house he came upon a neighbor’s farm and low and behold there was his pond. A large group of honkers had landed on his pond the night before and during the night the pond had frozen completely thereby freezing the ducks legs to the pond. So of course when they flew to the neighbor’s field the next morning they took the pond with them. This is just exactly how the story was told to me. I would not lie. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Opinion A fish story for my atheist friends Harold Pease, Ph. D and Gary Pollock Special to the Anza Valley Outlook The following is a story, written several years ago by a high school student where I live. His “Fish Story” is perhaps the most profound piece on the subject of the existence of God. As we look for ways to improve our lives the coming new year, improving our connection to a loving creator should top the list. In one room, which was in one house, there was an aquarium. This aquarium was large, with strong glass walls. This aquarium was filled with clear, beautiful water, and had many fish. These were not ordinary fish— they were very advanced. In fact, they were so advanced that they formed a school. At the head of this school was Jim, the smartest of all the fishes. He was very respected by the fishes, and did his best to www.anzavalleyoutlook.com

teach them well. “Now,” he said, finishing up his lecture for the day, “we know there are many aquariums. We do not know if all these aquariums have fish, or even have water. We know that the aquariums built themselves long ago. Once they had done this, they filled themselves with water, and then fish spawned themselves in that water.” Most of Jim’s students were very bright, and on their way to knowing as much as their very intelligent teacher. That is, except for one fish named Bill, who just couldn’t grasp some of the concepts Jim taught. Because of his lack of knowledge, the other fish would tease him. One night, Bill was swimming near the wall of the aquarium. Then, he saw it: a giant eye against the wall of the aquarium. Bill was afraid at first, but his fears were allayed as he stared at this eye. He felt a unique calm come over him. Then he saw another eye pressed up against the wall of the aquarium, and then what appeared to be a smiling face. This face spoke to Bill, who listened attentively to every word. When the face had gone, Bill quickly swam back to the other fish of the school. “You won’t believe this,” Bill shouted to the other fish, who were now wondering why Bill had so frantically come to them. “I saw a being outside the aquarium. This

being told me it was a human. It was much larger than us, even larger than the whole aquarium.” “That’s ridiculous!” snapped Jim, interrupting Bill. “We all know that nothing can live outside of an aquarium. There is no water outside. If this human exists, as you wish us to believe, then how could its gill work where there is no water?” “Well,” thought Bill, “maybe the human is different from us, able to exist where we cannot.” The other fish laughed, but Bill continued. “The human told me it built the aquarium itself, and filled it with water, and then placed us in the aquarium” Once again, Jim interrupted Bill, “Listen to what you’re saying. Bill! We all know the aquarium created itself, and filled itself with water. Then we spawned in the aquarium, and that is how we came to be here. There is no such thing as a human and none of the fish in my school should pay any more attention to these foolish ideas, for they get in the way of the pursuit of intelligence. Ridiculous stories like this are why you are the lowest student in my school.” Bill was heartbroken, and swam away as the other fish made fun of him. He began to doubt what he had seen. How could it be so if everyone else says that it wasn’t? Some time later, Bill was again swimming near the wall of the

aquarium, once again sad that he could not learn Jim’s teachings. Then, he saw the human again. This time he saw a smiling face with two appendages dropping food on the surface of the water of the aquarium. With this new discovery, he swam back to tell the other fish. “I have seen the human again,” said Bill. “I saw the human drop food on the top of the water, and that is how our food comes.” “This is foolish,” Jim once again snapped. “We all know food grows on its own at the surface of the water, and that is how our food comes. Bill, you invent these crazy ideas about a human because your feeble mind can’t understand the things I teach at my school.” The fish all laughed at Bill. “No,” Bill pleaded, “the human exists; I saw it.” “If this human is so intelligent,” Jim asked, “why does it show itself only to the lowest and least intelligent of all us fish? If this human is so smart as to live outside of the water, and even to build this aquarium, certainly it would be smart enough to know that I am the greatest of the fish. So why does this human choose to show itself and the great work it can supposedly perform only to you, the least intelligent?” “Maybe because I looked for the human,” Bill replied. “The human perhaps came to me because I have accepted that there are some things

I do not know. Rather than trying to dictate how my surroundings behave, I listen to the possibility that I am wrong. I believe this human will show itself to any fish, so long as they go to the wall of the aquarium and look for the human.” Now Jim became angry. “That’s ludicrous,” he said. “ I have become sick of your preaching of the existence of this human. If we are ever to benefit as a school, and become truly intelligent, we cannot waste time making up things like humans. In fact, I’m going to make a law that no fish can ever talk about a human in my school. If we are to truly gain intelligence, there must be a separation of human and school!” Bill had become saddened by this. But nothing Jim, or any fish could say would change what he saw. No teaching in a fish school could change whether the human truly existed or not. Dr. Harold Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution.

California State Parks 2015 Annual Pass Program brings back favorites old and new In January 2015, the Department of California State Parks Annual Park Pass Program is bringing back the popular “Golden Poppy” Pass and introducing the new Tahoe Area Regional Pass. California State Parks Mission is to provide for the health, inspiration and education of the people of California by helping to preserve the state’s extraordinary biological diversity, protecting its most valued natural and cultural resources, and creating opportunities for high quality outdoor recreation. On Monday, Jan. 5, 2015, passes will be available at State Park units where fees are collected. All of these passes are valid for a floating

12-month period from the date of purchase. They are also available at the California State Parks Online Store and Park Pass Sales Office at 1416 9th Street, Room 144 in Sacramento. The Annual Park Pass Program consists of four different passes with a variety of admissions to parks statewide, and price points designed to meet visitor’s individual needs. Specifically, the 2015 annual passes include: • “California Explorer” Annual Pass ($195.00): Offers vehicle entrance to 134 state parks, including the Southern California beaches along the Orange, Los Angeles and

San Diego Coasts. • “Golden Poppy” Annual Pass ($125.00): This popular pass is making a comeback, and includes vehicle entrance to 112 state parks. • “Tahoe Regional” Annual Pass ($75.00): This new regional pass was created this year specifically for one of the jewels of the state, the Lake Tahoe region. The pass includes admission to D.L. Bliss State Park, Ed Z’Berg Sugar Pine Point State Park, Emerald Bay State Park, Kings Beach State Recreation Area and Donner Memorial State Park. • “Historian Passport” ($50.00): Includes admission for up to four people to State Historic Parks that

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Damage control in the winter garden

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello, fellow gardeners! We really got to experience Mother Nature in action last week didn’t, we? Depending on what you have growing in your garden, you may have sustained some damage, so what I’d like to talk about this week is how to minimize that for the rest of the winter and also how to possibly “salvage” the plants that did sustain damage. Those of us who have to have citrus trees, succulents, tropicals and palms will have to do a little extra work – or else be prepared to pay the price. As some of you may know, I am somewhat of a “succulent” fanatic,

and as such, I don’t always pay attention to “The Rules” myself! Those rules being what plants survive at below freezing. Sometimes, I’ve just got to have a certain succulent, and it goes in a pot or in the ground. But the bottom line with doing that is we’re just gambling, we’re gambling that the weather stays warmer rather than colder. Unfortunately I didn’t win that gamble this year. I did get as many potted plants inside as I possibly could, but there were a few, some in the ground, and others in pots, that didn’t make it inside and out of the cold. Some of those plants were just blooming (many succulents are winter blooming as that’s when they naturally receive rain) so those giant bloom stalks on my kalanchoe “Flapjacks” which I’d never seen before, are hanging like limple noodles now! Very disappointing. I had a gorgeous potted aloe that was also just putting up large stalks of buds that would have blossomed. However, following adverse weather conditions, the bloom stalk keeled over. The plant itself though is still doing well. I had a Cotyledon orbiculata in

Holiday Hoop fests net one championship win as local teams compete against nation’s best JP Raineri Sports / Multimedia Editor Twas the Holiday break and all through the valley children were nestled snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads, unless they were local basketball players playing in one of the many Holiday Classic tournaments that were spread throughout the land. If that were the case, then the dreams they were having revolved around draining threes, blocking shots, stealing passes and even dunking on members of the other team. One of the major tournaments that took place over the holiday break was the MaxPreps Holiday Classic which began the day after Christmas. It’s a 148-team basketball tournament that was played at eight high schools throughout the valley and included 16 of the best teams in the nation in the open division, 26 local teams from Southern California, 26 girls’ teams, two teams from Europe and even offered a slam dunk contest Chaparral’s Jared Fontillas takes a hard foul from an Oak Hills defender during the Puma’s opening game 55-48 win in the MaxPreps Holliday Classic in Palm Springs.

End-of-year passage of tax extenders bill affects real estate Paul Bandong Staff Writer Many homeowners who have had to short sale their home or who have been foreclosed upon in 2014 can breathe a sigh of relief. Congress and President Obama beat a year-end deadline for passage of fifty tax-reducing provisions (“tax extenders”); that bill will cost $42 billion.

On Dec. 3, 2014 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Tax Increase Prevention Act (HR 5771); the senate passed it on Dec. 16 and President Obama signed it into law on Dec. 19. The law provides for extension of tax policies that expired at the end of 2013 and extends those provisions to Dec. 31, 2014. The bill is retroactive and rewards business activities completed in 2014. The Senate Finance Committee

had previously recommended in April 2014 a two-year extension package that would have cost $85.3 billion. There are a number of provisions that directly affect real estate, including tax relief for mortgage debt forgiveness, fifteen-year cost recovery for qualified leasehold improvements, election to expense certain qualified real property, and deductions for energy efficient commercial buildings.

In a previous article (November 21, 2014, Issue 47, Volume 18), Gene Wunderlich, Government Affairs Director for the Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors (SRCAR), and recently appointed Murrieta City Councilman, urged local residents to lobby their government officials for the passage of the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Tax Relief Act as well as passage of the bill to allow deduction of the Mortgage Insurance Premium. Wunderlich stated that, “hundreds of thousands of American families who did the right thing by short-selling their home will have to pay income tax on ‘’phantom income.’’ Moreover, more distressed homeowners will decide to take a pass on opportunities for short sales, opting instead for continued delinquency or possible default until foreclosure, or simply to walk away from the property. This will destabilize the communities where such homes are located . . . This current bipartisan legislation would extend an expired provision that has helped millions of distressed American families by allowing tax relief for homeowners when lenders forgive some portion of the mortgage debt they owe either through foreclosure or short sale.” Here are some – but not all -- of the tax extenders affecting the real estate industry: (figures listed are

estimated costs in millions of dollars and are sourced from the Joint Committee on Taxation). *Mortgage debt forgiveness ($3,143) *Mortgage insurance premiums treated as qualified residence interest ($919) *Contributions of capital gain property for conservation purposes ($129) *15-year straight line cost recovery for qualified leasehold improvements, qualified restaurant busildings and improvements, qualified retail improvements ($42,382) *Bonus first-year depreciation ($41,492) *Tax credits for facilities producing energy from certain renewable sources ($6,932) *Energy tax credit for energyefficient new homes ($267) *Energy tax deduction for building envelope efficiency ($127) Note: property that qualifies for Section 179 and for bonus depreciation must have been placed in service prior to Dec. 31, 2014. In addition to tax breaks for real estate, there are tax extenders provisions that affect individuals and businesses. Readers are urged to contact their professional tax advisers for their qualification/ eligibility on their individual situations.

Make owning a home a goal in 2015

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Listed below are the top nine reasons you want to own a home. Homeownership is the quintessential American dream. America continues to draw people immigrating to this country from every continent and nearly every country on the planet – for the promise of a brighter future for themselves and their children and it starts with a place to call home. Is homeownership financially motivating? Last Nov. 29, the New York Times published an editorial titled “Homeownership and Wealth Creation” which stated, “Homeownership long has been central to Americans’ ability to amass wealth; even with the substantial decline in wealth after the housing bust, the net worth of homeowners over time has significantly outpaced that of renters, who tend as a group to accumulate little if any wealth.” Interestingly, the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finance concluded that the average net worth of a homeowner was nearly $200,000 ($194,500), which is 36 times that of the average renter at only $5,600. Let’s examine several of the economic factors that motivate Americans to buy a home and other real estate. 1. Leverage of capital. Buying real estate is one of the very few opportunities most Americans will ever have to substantially leverage their cash. A hefty conventional 20 percent down payment will allow the borrower to leverage their

money at a 5 to 1 ratio. Ten percent down allows for a 10 to 1leverage of their money and the FHA buyer with only 3.5 percent down is actually leveraging their money 28.5 times. Certainly Wall Street won’t loan you that type of money to purchase stocks. 2. Rent. Rent or own, you are paying someone’s mortgage, so it might as well be yours. 3. Forced savings. Many of us can justify spending the extra dollar in our pocket now rather than putting it away for tomorrow. Paying down the principal on your home loan every month is usually a “forced savings.” 4. Tax benefits. Homeowners can deduct their mortgage interest and property taxes from their income taxes and have a hefty allowance to exclude capital gains when they sell for a gain. 5. Inflation. Despite the housing issues of the past decade, the costs of owning a home have historically been less than the rate of inflation, which makes owning a home an attractive proposition. The real reasons for homeownership While financial incentives are important for all of us, the truth is that most of us are motivated by what a home of our own represents. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University conducts an annual study seeking to find the reasons that Americans truly feel are the most important to owning their own home. 6. The number one reason that Americans across the land want to own their own home is because they want to have a good place to raise their children and provide them with a good education. Temecula was recently named the sixth safest city in America by the FBI and Murrieta was named the second safest city on the same list. Our public, private and parochial schools are consistently some of the top rated throughout the state.

Even homebuyers who don’t have children, or even plan on having any in the near future consider schools and neighborhood characteristics and amenities when purchasing – both to keep the possibility open and knowing that the resale value will be influenced by these factors. 7. Comfort and security is the second most popular reason to purchase a home. It should not be a surprise that everyone wants to be secure and not worry about their own comfort and security or the security of their possessions. 8. Space to do the things you and your family want to do is the third most dominant reason. Who doesn’t like having a garage that you can drive into and walk directly into your home? Who doesn’t like having an expansive open floor plan so you can be busy in the kitchen and interacting with family members and guests in different parts of the home? Americans agree that owning your own home allows homeowners the ability to define spaces in their homes that meet their own unique wants and needs – something that can be very difficult when renting. 9. Is there anyone out there who would not like a say on what color the walls of their bedroom are? Having control over the living space, being able to update or renovate on your terms is a major driving force that motivates Americans to buying their first home and pursuing homeownership throughout their life. Here’s a bonus reason, too. While not appearing as a motivating reason in the referenced surveys, one of the major benefits of owning a home, rather than renting, according to a 2003 study conducted by Donald Haurin, professor of economics at Ohio State University, is the long term impact it will have on the children of the homeowner. The children of homeowners are much more likely to attain a higher

education – 25 percent more likely to finish high school and they are 116 percent more likely to graduate from college. Furthermore, there are social benefits to the children of homeowners as well. Their daughters are 40 percent less likely to become pregnant teenagers, out of wedlock and are 40 percent less likely to be dependent on welfare or other public assistance. Regardless of the social and family reasons that motivate you, homeownership is the most practical method for Americans to build wealth. A renter that desires to build wealth should seriously consider working with a local realtor

who can expertly review the local real estate market and explain the benefits of purchasing your new home rather than leasing it.

Rose Care FUNdamentals: Time to consider changes for your rose garden Frank Brines Consulting Rosarian As I was preparing to write this month’s column I heard a weather forecast for the Inland Empire warning of a severe cold storm coming out of Canada. I spread old bedsheets over my most vulnerable plants to help them withstand the cold and hoped for the best. About 1 a.m. Wednesday I awoke to a strange light outside—almost bright as daylight—and looking out my upstairs bedroom window saw and inch and half of snow, with flakes still falling and thrashing about in the strong north wind. Well, there was nothing to do at that hour, so I went back to my warm bed! The next morning our neighborhood in Murrieta was the proverbial Winter Wonderland with 3 to 4 inches of wet snow on the cars (and everything else), trees and shrubs bent low with snow, and most of those bed sheets blown off. This just shows how quickly weather can change. It’s fortunate that we got seven weeks beyond our average first frost date, although last night’s temperature (at or below 28 degrees) have dealt a harsh blow to some of my favorite non-rose plants. We are also fortunate that mature roses can take much more brutal weather than the Temecula Valley can dish out! I’m confident that you did not do your annual spring pruning in December—it’s called SPRING pruning for a reason! Even January can be too early to prevent frost damage to tender new growth, so I also recommend being patient and waiting until early- to mid-February. That strikes a balance between potential frost damage and having enough time to get two or three good bloom cycles in before the brutality of summer. (It seems so far off as I write this in the waning light of a cold cold New Year’s Day!)

So, for now, spend some time thinking about the new rose or two that you can add to your garden in spring. First let me counsel you to purchase roses of the highest quality. You will pay more than you would at a big box store, but the cost of the rose is a very small fraction of what you will eventually invest in that plant over the years in water, fertilizer, and effort; why not start with a higher quality plant? The best places to get such plants are from online retailers who specialize in roses and from nurseries with years of experience carrying them. Our local nurseries will be receiving new stock soon and will have the best selection for early shoppers. If you procrastinate you will likely still find a smaller selection of good quality plants available into February. Roses ordered online are often very fresh because they come directly from the source. January and February are excellent months for planting roses in the Temecula Valley. (Let’s be optimistic that the next few weeks will be drier and warmer, making planting easier when the time comes). One can even wait until March and still have plenty of time for the root system to establish and form relationships with your soil’s beneficial soil fungi and become show stoppers as early as May. Roses offered for sale are rated by quality. You want only #1 roses—they are the surest guarantee of success, with all horticultural methods employed to provide satisfaction—don’t waste your time and money on anything lower. Roses may come to you as “bare root,” potted, or packaged. Bare root plants are just that, usually packed in wood chips to keep the roots damp and viable. They are the slowest to thrive and it is best to get them early and planted immediately so they have the maximum amount of time to become established. Potted roses make

the quickest and most successful transition to the garden, but they also tend to be more expensive and not as plentiful in selection, but as I said, the initial cost will pale against what you put into the plant in the years to come. Lastly, let’s talk about those roses you find in small tubular plastic packages at the big box stores. To be blunt, I would caution against purchasing them. They are invariably of low quality. Their roots have been trimmed to fit them into the package, and you have no idea how long the poor plant has been sitting around strangled in plastic, nor what conditions it has endured to reach you as it has been treated like any inventory item rather than like a living creature! If you have a rose that hasn’t performed for you, now is the time to replace it. If it is still viable, you might consider giving

it away. I suggest a friend or the Temecula Valley Rose Society. Do your best to include the name. My experience has taught me that some plants that performed poorly for me did much better in someone else’s garden. That doesn’t mean that you’re a failure; it’s just that another garden may have just the right combination of environmental variables that the particular rose variety needs for success. Removing the rose will leave a vacant spot in your garden where you can plant a new rose. However, because the previous rose did poorly, it’s a good idea to assess the spot. Does it have good drainage? Many gardens in our area have a very dense layer of clay beneath the topsoil that can prevent drainage. Roses do not like roots standing in water. If you discover this condition you can try digging deeper to see

if you can break through that layer and improve percolation. You can also apply a “soil buster” product available at local stores that specialize in soil conditioners. Gypsum powder applied at the bottom of the hole may help loosen the clay. (In any case, it can’t hurt!) One last caution: Do not jump the gun by doing your spring pruning in January! Wait until February at least. I’ll provide more guidance on that all-important annual pruning in the February column. Also, on Saturday January 24 on Saturday February 7, at 9 a.m., I will give a pruning class at TVRS’ Rose Haven Heritage Garden at 30592 Jedediah Smith Rd., Temecula. Please visit our website at TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org/index. shtml. You might also want to visit our section at Meetup.com to find events of interest to you. Spread the joy of roses!

GARDEN, from page B-1 the back yard in a pot; its dead, but I have it all around a pine tree in the ground, out front, which faces Southwest, and its fine. Microclimates! The newer growth is more tender so remember this when you want to start pruning those rosebushes! Patience is a virtue – I’ve seen frost here in this valley in the middle of March. So, what can we do at this point? Well, many of the plants, potted or in the ground can be cut down low, damaged areas removed completely and allowed to “harden off” again. Come spring and summer they should put out some new growth. Just remember these plants are the ones you’re going to have to baby forever if you decide you want to hang onto them. I brought many potted plants into my garage and they made it through just fine, even though it felt freezing to me, it was just enough warmth to keep them healthy, and that’s all you really need. I lost a couple “Crown of Thorns” plants; I’d had one of them for five years, finally got it into the ground out front, but knew it was not for my zone. Again, I took a “gamble” and just lost this year. I had quite a few plants that were so weighed down by the snow they literally either fell over, or were “spread eagle” the next day – they should bounce back. Purple Hop Bushes on my slopes were not deep watered enough, and they fell over. I got them back up and staked so I’m OK for the rest of the winter with them at least. Just need to cut off branches of plants that broke and the plants will come back. Remember: if you have tender plants outside in the ground, you’re going to need to cover them with either blankets or special fabric designed to help them withstand the frost. I have discovered, or actually just figured it out, that rather than spend a lot of money on some of the fancy covers they use “Reemay.” You can just buy this spun polyester “backing” fabric on sale over at JoAnnes and it’s much cheaper, but made exactly the same. You might even consider doubling it when covering plants for frost protection. It then doubles as a “floating row cover” to keep out insect and bird, and even protects from sun scald for the more sensitive plants like lettuce and cauliflower. Mulch piled up around plants can also help insulate against frost damage. I’ve discussed “micro climates” previously, and they’re good to a

certain extent, but, obviously, we can’t count on them always and especially when we have a major winter storm the likes of which we haven’t seen here in a decade or more. The worst scenario happened here when we received lots of rain in December and then all that snow which was then melting, into water of course, and then the frost. What happens is that succulents become basically “waterlogged” and then the frost freezes that water in the cell walls of the plant which burst – hence the soggy and sorry looking succulents we now have.

My frost damaged kalanchoe “Flapjacks” plant.

Well, now we’ve been reminded by Mother Nature to only use those plants that can take frost – so we’re talking Zone 18 here, or Zone 8b, depending on whether you go by the USDA or Sunset. Best wishes to you and your garden in the New Year. Hope your damage was minimal, and as always I am available for consultations and design work to improve your garden. I promise I won’t put any plants in your garden that can’t take frost! Linda McDonald-Cash www.uniquelandscapes.net (951) 764-4762 If only I’d done this to my poor agave, it could have been saved.

Students provide holiday cheer to those less fortunate Kim Harris Staff Writer Students at Chaparral High School recently held its 10th annual Operation Holiday Cheer, providing 186 gifts for 68 less fortunate children at the Valley Restart Center in Hemet. Program coordinator and high school English teacher Ryan Leonhardi said he started the program while teaching at a Long Beach high school 11 years ago; he brought the program to the Temecula area when he began teaching at Chaparral ten years ago. “It was something I started when I graduated high school,” Leonhardi said, adding that he told his students what he was doing and that they were welcome to join in. Students who participate don’t get extra credit and only Leonhardi’s students take part in Operation Holiday Cheer, not the entire school. “They do get community service for their time, of course,” he said, adding that the students really care about their community as well as neighboring ones. “(Students) showed real holiday spirit at this year’s event, no extra credit, no get-out-of-homework-free passes … just old fashioned spreading the love and spirit.” Sixty-six students and alumni from Leonhardi’s English classes went to the event on Dec. 17 and 143 students out of his more than 170 contributed to the program in some way, he said. Some wrapped presents, some bought gifts, some went to the event and some even provided baked goods for the party. Leonhardi gets a list of children from the director at the shelter, along with a wish list for each child. Then his students “adopt” those children for the holidays, providing presents and holiday cheer. “We personalize the back of our wall with every child’s name, their shoe size, what they want from Santa, that kind of thing,” he said. “Then our students sign up and ‘adopt’ if you will, one or two; they bring those gifts in, we wrap them and then actually go deliver them.” This year 186 gifts were purchased for the 68 less fortunate children and adults at the Valley Restart Center. Gifts included six

new bikes, 8 DSI gaming machines and other gifts from their kid’s Santa’s wish lists and parent’s lists of what they needed. Students get creative in finding ways to pay for the gifts, some will do odd jobs to earn money and others will forego their own presents in order to ensure the kids at Valley Restart Center have a happy holiday season. “Many of them (students) ask their parents ‘buy me my normal gifts but instead of one gift, buy one for Joey at the shelter,’” Leonhardi said. Freshman Paige Adame said she got her mother to help her with purchasing gifts for the program this year. “I had talked about it with my mom and she could tell I was excited about giving back to people in need so we planned a day to go to Target specifically and we just got everything.” Adame’s mother paid for half and she paid for the other half with money she had saved. “I knew that one day I could use that money for people in need and I because of this, I had that chance to do it,” Adame said. Senior Joy Mead, who has participated in the program for two years, saved money from her part time job to pay for gifts for the people she adopted this year.

Chaparral High School Alumni Mia Hamilton and her husband Ethan (back row) didn’t hold a Christmas for themselves this year. Instead the couple donated $800 worth of toys and gifts to Operation Holiday Cheer.

“I know that me and my friends start with our own money,” she said. “But we all coordinate together to make sure that we have every person who live there accounted for … some of them may ask for things that are kind of pricey but we still try to accommodate and work together to scrape up enough money to get them what they are asking for.” Leonhardi said alumni come back year after year to help with the program, some are in their sixth or seventh year, including Mia Hamilton who graduated three years ago. Hamilton, along with her husband Ethan, a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, decided not to buy each other gifts this year and instead spent their Christmas money buying gifts for those living in the shelter. The couple spent about $800 and provided four bikes

Sports HOOPS from page B-1 on Saturday, Dec. 27. Some of the nation’s top players like Jordan Ford of Folsom, Oscar Frayer of Moreau Catholic, Christian Terrell of Sacramento, Rex Pflueger of Mater Dei, Devearl Ramsey of Sierra Canyon and Schnider Herard of Prestonwood Christian were just a few of the big names that were expected to be in Palm Springs for the Holiday Classic. Boys and Girls teams from Murrieta Mesa, Chaparral, Lakeside, and Tahquitz from Hemet all participated along with the defending high school basketball national champion Mater Dei from Santa Ana, who also joined a cast of six state and section title winners from the 2013-14 season. Thirteen of the 17 teams in the tournament’s Invitational Division won 20 or more games last year. This year it would be the Sierra Canyon boys basketball team that would make their mark taking the championship game as the Trailblazers somehow managed to find a way to come back from a late eight-point deficit and knock off Pebblebrook (Georgia) 67-66 in crazy fashion. The Wolverines girls Basketball team from Bellevue (Washington) traveled 1,250 miles to get to the MaxPreps Holiday Classic, and captured what they came for as well. Down the road at the Under Armour Boys Basketball Holiday Classic, presented by Torrey Pines High School, Rancho Christian would be the only one of five area teams to bring home a championship in the Mayors Division with a very close game against the La Jolla Bishops. La Jolla cut an 18-point deficit in the final seconds of the third quarter to a three-point deficit late in the fourth before the Eagles closed out the 57-52 victory at La Jolla Country Day school. Seventy-two teams in all took the stage the day after Christmas during the weeklong tournament, including Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Valley, Temecula Valley and Great Oak. Though Murrieta Valley reached a milestone for Coach Tarabilda, giving him his 350th win on the opening night of the tournament when they defeated Poway, no other valley teams had much luck in the tournament, and not a one made it past the semi-finals. Temecula Great Oak fell to Oceanside El Camino, 72-71, and Vista Murrieta lost to Chula Vista Mater Dei, 59-41, in Senators Division games. Latrelle Franklin scored 21 points, Torin Webb 19 and Brandon Presley 14 for the Wolfpack (8-4). Murrieta Valley lost to Tucson Sunnyside, 55-47, in the thirdplace game of the Governors Division. Jacob Forte made the all-tournament team for the Nighthawks (6-6) and Temecula Valley lost to Los Angeles Taft, 50-48, on a desperation 3-pointer in their consolation game after losing to Escondido in round 2, which knocked them out. The Golden Bears are 3-9. On a more local note, the Valley View Eagles boys and girls teams both took the championship reigns at tournaments that were hosted here in Southwest Riverside County. The boys’ team claimed the title in the Paloma Valley Classic Valley, which was an eight team tournament that also featured the California Military Institute Rough Riders, West ValCHEER from page B-6 and four PSPs just to give back, according to Leonhardi. “We cancelled Christmas,” said Hamilton. “All year long we are able to get each other those things. During Christmastime it’s supposed to be giving back, it’s supposed to be the season of giving and my husband gives me love all the time. As long as he does that and as long as we are able to share what we can share with other people … it’s so close to the heart.” Hamilton said she would have felt selfish buying things for Christmas knowing that there are those out there who are in desperate need. The couple adopted ten kids for Operation Holiday Cheer this year. “Being a part of something, helping other people and giving those kids just a single moment of happiness is so worth it; it’s what it’s all about and something that people are supposed to be doing. Mr. Leonhardi really brings that back to the community on a very large scale. Hamilton, who was 17 when she first started participating in the program, said she believes that the kids who live at the restart center get the opportunity to see that there

ley, Canyon Springs, Boulder City, Paloma Valley, Elsinore and San Jacinto. In the championship game between Elsinore and Valley View, it would be the Eagles that outlasted the Tigers winning 66-54. The Eagles were led by Devin Fleming, who scored 19 points and Gabe Hicks who scored 13 points. Notable performances by Elsinore include Taylor’s 21 points scored and senior Preston Beverly, who scored 17 points, 14 of which came in the second half. The Valley View girls turned some heads as they rallied in a come-from-behind effort to cap-

ture the Lady Nighthawk Classic on Tuesday Dec. 30th at Murrieta Valley High School, narrowly edging out the host team 51-49 in the championship game. RyLeigh Long led the young Eagles team with a nine point performance and captured the tournament’s MVP honors. The win was a payback of sorts for a Valley View (11-2) team who earlier this season were defeated by Murrieta Valley (11-1) by a two point margin. “The game seemed to go back and forth all game,” according to Murrieta Valley head coach Scott

Richards who added, “Our focus was really on Free Throws, when we played them the first time we were off our game from the line, and despite the loss, that factor really kept us in the game.” Valley View took control early in the fourth quarter with an 11-2 run and took a lead when Jalen Long sank a three pointer with about 5 minutes remaining. The Lady Nighthawk’s would

recapture the lead by answering back with a 3-pointerof their own, but saw their championship hoped fade away as the Eagles scored six unanswered points to end the game.

an amazing experience and I think everyone should experience because it’s really eye opening,” she said adding that she will continue to participate in the program. “It really opened my eyes to how people don’t have much and just to be able to have this experience with other people. It made my heart warm to see other people be so happy about something that you did for them.” Mead, who first participated last year aid she didn’t really understand what it was like for those less

fortunate until she participated in the program. “I remember that first year I came home at the end of the night and was in tears because it was so nice to meet such beautiful people,” Mead said. “When I was there, you are so happy to see their faces but you are also upset because so many people really deserve more and it’s really affected me. I can honestly say I am a lot less selfish and I always want to help people now because of it.”

Local woman who lost 109 pounds shares her experience Kim Harris Staff Writer

and each chapter has its own dues. In Temecula its $3 a month,” she said. “It’s completely nonprofit and they give towards obesity research in a big way. Their ulterior motive is more research not making money.” Kirby said she had three children and that along with genetics led her to her weight gain. When she was in her 40s she went to her doctor for a check-up. That doctor told her that a woman’s metabolism changes in her 40s and if she didn’t change her lifestyle that she would average a gain of 10 pounds a year. Kirby said she failed to take that doctor’s advice. “I went through my 40s really not changing anything, eating what I wanted continuing that spiral and by the time I was 50, I was 100 pounds overweight,” she said. “Then it clicked what that doctor said to me.” Kirby tried other weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem, but none of those plans worked for her. “What I learned in the process was if I don’t do the work, then nothing is going to work,” she said. “There’s no fast track, there is no magic pill that is going to do it if I am not doing my part.” Kirby was actually on Weight Watchers when she joined T.O.P.S. She said she found it was too easy to cheat on other plans and several plans did not satisfy her hunger. “I would cheat, it was just too easy to cheat,” she said. “When I joined T.O.P.S. in 2008, I went in with that mentality.” After joining T.O.P.S. Kirby soon learned that she was not alone in her battle against the bulge. “They were all going through the same thing, day by day, trying to make the right choices in their food plan,” she said, adding that the organization does not force any one food plan but rather gives members a healthy food plan in the literature. “What they are there for is accountability and support from the same people who are there every week

Kathy Kirby accomplished a goal and she is proud of it. The 62-yearold Temecula resident is member of T.O.P.S. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and because of that, along with sheer willpower and smart choices, managed to lose 136 pounds – 109 in 2013 alone – the weight of an entire adult person. “I felt ugly, I never felt beautiful,” she said of 311 pound self. At her heaviest Kirby wore a size 28. She said she felt like the gym was too expensive and she was too self conscious to go to the gym so after some repeated, gentle nudging from a friend of hers, attended a T.O.P.S. meeting. “The thing about T.O.P.S. is they charge only $32 for membership

that you get to know.” Kirby said that during meetings the group discusses weight loss challenges they are facing and have a different program every week that members research and present. They do accountability with weekly weigh-ins and acknowledge the gains and losses. “We are there to support each other,” she said. “You make friends and it’s a great support group.” Kirby went to meetings for about three years, losing a minimal amount of weight – about ten pounds a year – before making the final decision to lose the excess weight. “There is always a reason or a trigger that gets us moving,” she said. “In my mind, I was OK with that because I had been gaining ten pounds a year prior.” Kirby said that the year she turned 60 was the year that everything changed for her. “My sister-in-law passed away at 61 from complications due to her obesity,” she said. “This was my moment of make a turn now, make a change now or I could be facing the same thing she did. It was my lightbulb moment.” Kirby said she realized if she didn’t change what she was doing, she could pass away at 62, too. “I have seven grandchildren I want to live for,” she said. “I want to see them grow and graduate high school, graduate college, get married and have children. I don’t want to be a memory for them; I want to be there.” It was approaching 2013 when Kirby made a full scale commitment to her weight loss, enlisting the help of her husband, family, friends and other T.O.P.S. members. Kirby said despite doubts about the year 2013 being unlucky she had what she called a “Godbreathe” and realized she had a choice. “I do have a choice in this. I no longer have to just live with what happens in my life,” she said. “My choice is to lose the weight to do what it takes day by day … to get to goal. What could be the worst thing that could happen?” During her first month after setting a goal to lose 100 pounds Kirby only lost two pounds so she knew she needed to do more than what she was currently doing. She cut sugar and flour out of her diet. The next month she lost 17 pounds. “Within a few days, I quit having daily headaches, I felt like I wasn’t in a fog anymore, my brain kind of cleared up and the cravings went away,” she said. “I still have the occasional cravings.” Kirby journals her food the night before and makes sure she has what she needs to eat and that its prepared so when she comes in the door hungry she can refer to her food diary and eat what she is supposed to rather than just grabbing food out of the fridge. “There is no taking a chance on what choices I am going to make

at that time,” she said. “Every meal now for me is a conscious choice. I had to wake up every morning and say, ‘today, I choose to focus on my plan.’” The payoff was a weight loss of 136 pounds total. For the 109 pounds she lost in 2013, Kirby was rewarded by being named queen for her chapter and then for the state of California. According to Kirby, T.O.P.S. founder Esther Mannz wanted women to feel like royalty when they reached a goal so each chapter has a king and a queen each year based on who lost the most weight to get to their goal or K.O.P.S. status, (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly). Goals are set by each individual member’s family doctor. “The year they achieved their final goal would be the year they could be queen or king for,” said Kirby. Her weight loss is something that she continues to focus on, one day at a time. “I have a bracelet that says dreams become reality one choice at a time,” said Kirby, adding that she has to assess each bite of food that she puts into her mouth. “That’s my motto, I wear that bracelet; I live by it.” The group meets once a week on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 a.m. at Heritage Mobile Home Estates clubhouse located at 31130 S. General Kearny Rd. in Temecula. There are other T.O.P.S. groups,

Teen recovering from drug addiction thanks to intensive outpatient program Alex Groves Staff Writer Eighteen-year-old Temecula resident Gary Gilbert appears to be in good health now, but not long ago he was struggling through a major addiction to heroin. Gilbert is in recovery and participating in the Intensive Outpatient Program at Hill Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center in Temecula. He said the center has provided him with resources and has helped him to stay clean after his six-year addiction to heroin, which he began using at the age of 12. Gilbert said that during his younger years, he frequently spent time with people who were older than him because he had older siblings and had become accustomed to spending time with individuals who were older and seemingly more mature. He said he saw these older people trying things and doing things and he decided he wanted to do the same. “It’s a small town and you get to know people fast,” he said. “I was already smoking pot and drinking, along with taking Xanax. Once I found out about heroin, I started using it a lot.” Eventually Gilbert began selling drugs to fund his addiction to heroin. He would go as far away as Mexico, Hemet and Los Angeles to pick up shipments of drugs, which he would then sell. All of the sales and pickups occurred

without a hitch. However, things didn’t last or continue to go well for Gilbert, who said he found himself slipping deeper and deeper into the clutches of his addiction. His sales couldn’t keep up with his fast growing need for the drug. He needed money, but he wasn’t making enough of it, so he would rip his buyers off and also look for money elsewhere. He would use birthday money and money given to him by his parents to pay for drugs. It wasn’t until Oct. 7, that Gilbert decided he needed help. He had fallen asleep on his bed with drugs nearby and was discovered by his mother, who wasn’t aware of his addiction. That’s when Gilbert decided he finally needed to get help for his problem. He said he’s doing much better since first entering the program at Hill. He’s stayed clean for more than two months and has put on a healthy amount of weight. “Sixty-seven days is crazy for me, for using every single day for six years,” he said. “Sixty-seven days clean is just amazing.” Gilbert said he enjoys the lessons he learns through the program, which teaches people about brain chemistry and why they use drugs and also teaches them that their brains are healing in the absence of substance abuse. Gene Jenkins, a former counselor at the center, believes teaching people about brain chemistry is

important. He said that during his time as a counselor he would frequently tell people that their brain chemistry wouldn’t return to a normal level until about a year and a half of not using. Jenkins said such information is beneficial because it functions as a window into the science behind addiction as well as an incentive for people to work toward getting clean. “When people understand that, it makes it a little easier for them to understand what they’re going through,” he said. Gilbert knows he has a long way to go, but that he hopes to continue on his journey of recovery. He said the center itself has become a place of refuge. “I love it,” he said. “This is my safe place and if I’m ever having a bad day, usually I’ll come here.” He said he likes participating in support groups at the center, because he can relate to others who are going through similar struggles. “All the people connect here,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what age you are, all the people connect and I love it because I have a lot of friends here now and it’s good.” Gilbert said his future is still unclear, but he hopes to become a drug and alcohol counselor to provide the same kinds of tools the center has given him to others. “They set you up to succeed,” he said, “and if you do follow what you learn here, you will succeed.”

7:00am-8:00am 8:00am-9:00am There were also multiple 12v DC power outlets. The 5” color display was easy to see in different lighting situations. The rear 60-40 split fold-down rear seats were comfortable; my college son and his girlfriend found plenty of head and legroom as we drove to our local Rubio’s for dinner. The rear underseat storage is handy for organization and hiding valuables from sight. This is a versatile vehicle that can be used for work, off-road fun, and around town utility.

The Frontier has plenty of low-end power and off-the-line acceleration from the 261HP 4.0L DOHC V-6 engine.

Steering response was a little slow, but the truck felt quite nimble. The shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive system with the two-speed transfer case was well-geared and easy to use as we traversed various terrain opportunities in the backroad areas between Menifee and Wildomar. The four-wheel vented disc brakes, Active Brake Limited Slip, Hill Start Assist, and Hill Descent Control all worked well to make this a fun driving experience. The interior is very utilitarian but with modern amenities like Nissan Connect that provides Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone-integrated apps, USB/iPod integration, satellite radio.

The Frontier had plenty of low-end power and off-the-line acceleration from the very capable 261-horsepower 4.0-liter DOHC V-6 mated with the five-speed automatic. The Frontier was well-composed on the freeway. Attention, designers: a second overdrive gear would help gas mileage. The EPA figures are 15 city/22 highway.

Carrying a half-pallet of newspaper bundles and inserts was no problem at all. It was useful at night to have the cab-mounted cargo bed lamp; cargo tie-downs were also well-placed. The Frontier comes in five available trim levels, including a Pro-4X offroad version and a top-of-the-line SL version that includes a Luxury package, 18” wheels and side steps for easy cab access. The Frontier is also

The 2015 Nissan Frontier is a prime example of the tried and proven formula of maneuverability and versatility. If you want/need a truck, but don’t want to deal with the oversize proportions of a full size pickup, be sure to consider this midsize pickup. If off-roading and cargo capability are important, this is a definite contender. In and around town, my wife said “I could definitely see myself driving this!’ She particularly liked the high driving position and straightforward design as well as the cargo capability.
