In the spirit of family, community and spring, Vail Headquarters welcomed 3,000 guests to their first Spring Jamboree. Held April 15, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., local artists and vendors were scattered across
the 4-acre grounds as they were greeted by the community. “Our event is to give the children of our town a place to go with safe and fun activities for the spring break, Easter period,” Temecula Valley Historical Society President Rebecca Farnbach explained. The new event was developed and
hosted based on the success of Vail Headquarters’ Halloween Jamboree held in October. Rather than spread the event across two days as it was in October, this one day event brought twice the turn out from before. Beyond the weekly Sunday vendors and farmers market, the Jamboree offered a space for the community to
come together and visit local artisans selling their products. The miniature train ride attracted many children and parents as they toured the grounds and enjoyed activities offered during the event. The Easter

City hosts ‘GROW Temecula Valley’ Symposium discusses local food matters Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The city of Temecula hosted the “GROW Temecula Valley” Symposium April 11, inviting a diverse group that included local farmers, suppliers, community educators, wellness ambassadors, Riverside County staff and local business owners to discuss the local food supply chain, community health and education, agri-tourism and the future of local farming. Three separate panels addressed these issues. Aziz Amiri, senior executive director and commissioner for the Los Angeles Commission on Older Adults, welcomed the participants, citing “Disruption and innovation creates opportunity.” He noted that the U.S. household expenditure for food is $992 billion, and venture capital investment in agriculture

Villaranda’s journey on ‘The Voice’ comes to an end Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Even a powerful performance and high praise from coach Alicia Keys wasn’t enough to propel Temecula native Anatalia Villaranda forward in the popular NBC singing competition, “The Voice.” Keys selected the Ben E. King classic “Stand by Me” for Villaranda’s performance in the live playoff rounds of the show, Monday, April 17. “This is such a classic song and I think this one is one of those styles that you haven’t quite done yet,” Keys told Villaranda during the vignette that aired before her performance.
Keys said that she believed Villaranda could perform the song and make it her own. “I’ve seen her show all this attitude and this movement and it’s fun but when she actually sings with this big powerful voice, you are like, ‘Woah, that too?’ She can do any kind of thing and still all of it has her signature on it,” Keys explained. Villaranda, who began singing at the age of 10, said she was dedicating the song to her mother Lea and her family who supported her throughout her musical journey over the years. “They’ve been supporting me

In Memoriam
Florence Freize of Murrieta, Calif., passed away on Friday, April 7, 2017 at the age of 75. Florence was born May 23, 1941 in New York, and was the
daughter of Vito and Beatrice Portararo. She married her high school sweetheart, Roger Freize, and then raised her family in Colorado before heading west to California to be with them and her grandchildren. Florence had a thoughtful, artistic and spirited personality and loved to joke and play pranks. You would find her quilting, sewing, doing crafts, playing card games, watching sports and organizing family get togethers. Family was very important to her especially spending time with the grandkids. She loved to socialize, and made many friends that she kept in touch with through the years. Florence was an active member of various quilting and bridge groups, including the Murrieta Senior Center
Bridge Group. She loved all of her grandchildren and tried to do something special with each of them. She taught them games, took them to movies, watched their sporting events and always told them she loved them! She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Roger Freize; sons, Roger II (Gina) and Mark (Stacey); daughter Kimberly (Rich), and her grandchildren, Abby, Elliott, Riley, and Joshua. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her! Many of her closest friends say that whenever they think of Florence, they always smile! The family held a private memorial service on April 13. A celebration of life gathering will be held later this spring.

SPRING from page A-1 bunny train engineer gave out pinwheels for riders and whistles for a unique riding experience. After overlooking the historic buildings, children were invited to hunt for Easter eggs under piles of hay hanging buckets and virtually every corner of the farm space. Children were separated in small groups by age to ensure safety. While hectic, organizers were delighted about the number of Easter egg hunters and are anticipating an even larger turnout next year. In addition, vendors passed out Easter eggs to children visiting their tents. The Temecula Valley Historical Society got involved and hosted a history hunt. Participants hunted for answers on the plaques posted on the property and upon return they were given a goodie bag of candy. The interactive history lesson created more visitor participation and a scavenger hunt that was fun, yet educational, for the whole family. Local Boy Scouts assisted during the event by running the carnival games and bunny hop race stations. Cub Scouts, ages 6 to 11, and Boy Scouts, ages 11 to 18, passed out prizes to winners of their Easter inspired games as service to the community. Colorful stations lined the paths with free crafts for children to decorate, bunny bags to collect Easter eggs and an upcycled plant-yourown succulent station. Jennifer Garate, owner of The Milestone Tree guided families in their decorating process offering three succulents for $5. Horse drawn hay wagon rides presented by the Temecula Carriage Company gave families the chance to take a ride through the property with a new perspective. Families also stopped by the spring themed board cut outs for a photo opportunity to conclude their Saturday at the historic Vail Headquarters. Raffles for gift baskets on display from the businesses were held and while Spring Jamboree was a free event, any proceeds made during the event went toward the Temecula Valley Historic Society. The mission of the Society is to “identify, preserve and promote the historical legacy of the Temecula Valley and to educate the public about its historical significance.” “Yesterday, we had third-graders from the Pechanga Reservation School and we provided education for them, so they know about our local history here,” Farnbach explained. “We also have three more school groups that are coming in May.” Aiming to provide interactive activities to teach children of the local history, visitors learn about gardening, watch the resident Blacksmith in action and see similar activities, all which were highlighted during the Spring Jamboree. Vail Ranch has been brought back to life by the Vail Ranch Restoration Association and its dedicated volunteers. The nonprofit’s goals coincide with the Temecula Valley Historical Society in that they aim to protect the history of Temecula and educate its residents. The Vail Ranch Restoration Association’s work has brought a new fervor to residents as they have the opportunity to learn about the local history and celebrate the season.

Roger Schultz together announced the new advanced digital video apprenticeship program at the nonprofit JDS Creative Academy during a news conference held Monday, April 17. The program is designed to enhance the future of Temecula Valley’s youth as well as the arts, engineering and technological workforce. The JDSCA program is being launched with the MSJC and the industry professionals from award-winning JDS Video & Media Productions, Inc. The advanced apprenticeship program supports the digital media high-tech business sector and will produce a weekly video newscast for the Southwest California Region. “When we established our nonprofit in 2014, it was our goal to offer a STEAM-based education to students throughout Temecula Valley,” said Strand. “Our dream from day one was to provide an apprenticeship program that would bring a much needed, locally focused newscast to the area and we are thrilled
It might not look like much now but in a few months this digital video studio will become the centerpiece of the new JDS Creative Academy advanced digital video apprenticeship program producing daily newscasts by aspiring video artists and broadcast newscasters coming from MSJC and other local and home schools.

that our dream is coming to fruition. We’re also excited the City of Temecula is on board with the area’s first Digifest. It is our goal, and the
city’s goal, to feature the talented digital artists in our area, as well as to provide exciting workshops and presentations to the public.”
CHP offers Start Smart class for teen drivers TEMECULA – A teenager is killed in a traffic collision every four hours nationwide. That equates to more than 1,870 teenagers killed each year. Another 184,000 teenagers are injured in traffic collisions. These deaths and injuries can be substantially reduced or prevented by eliminating high-risk driving behaviors through education. The California Highway Patrol’s “Start Smart” program can help prevent these tragedies. The Start Smart program focuses on providing comprehensive traffic
safety education classes for teenagers and their parents. Start Smart employs innovative techniques to capture the attention of teenagers and parents, providing a lasting experience. The curriculum includes information on collision statistics, teen driver and passenger behaviors, graduated driver’s license laws, cultural changes in today’s society and the need for stronger parental involvement in a teenager’s driving experience. The CHP Temecula Area will be conducting a Start Smart class
Monday, April 24, at Temecula City Hall Conference Center, 41000 Main Street. The class will be from 6 to 8 p.m. The class is free to attend, but seating is limited. Contact Officer Mike Lassig at (951) 506-2000 or email MLassig@chp.ca.gov to RSVP. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

technology is up to $3.36 billion. “Ag business is ripe for growth, and we have the opportunity to take advantage with first steps in collaboration and education to connect our local farmers to our communities, to source local foods first,” Amiri said. Ron Bray, deputy agricultural commissioner for Riverside County, said that Riverside County set a record for $1.3 billion in agricultural production in 2014. “Riverside County is unique with several distinct climate zones from the ocean to the mountains,” Bray said. “Despite urbanization, water shortage, labor shortages, competition from imported fruits and vegetables, agriculture has not gone away. It looks different from many years ago when we had thousands and thousands of acres of orange groves, walnut and almond orchards and a variety of produce. “Our mission is to protect and promote agriculture in Riverside County, and we are excited about this opportunity to bring together regulators, city officials, growers, suppliers and restaurants to find out what the challenges are and to take advantage of the opportunities behind the challenges. As the ag/urban interface changes the environment, agriculture continues to adapt to the challenge, and this creates opportunities for producing local food for local communities, ag tourism and bringing different points of view together to shape future solutions.” The first panel addressed the topic “The Local Food Supply Chain.” The panel consisted of Seth Wilson of the Riverside Food Systems Alliance; Greg Dunne, the director of produce for Barons Market; Scott Berndt of Berndt Farms, who grows produce for local restaurants as well as the Riverside Unified School District and Nathan Bochler of Specialty Produce, a farmers market produce buyer. “We grow over $600 million annually of specialty crops locally,” Wilson said. “Table grapes account for $144 million; citrus, $147 million; avocados, $159 million; dates, $40 million and carrots, $27 million.” “Barons welcomes local growers,” Dunne said. “We are looking for quality, safety and price.” Berndt described their “farmers market cooler” in which the product is displayed and tagged for buyers; he also converted an 18-foot truck into a “mobile farmers market” that services 50 restaurants three days each week and features on-site invoicing. “We have a capacity problem in Riverside County,’ Berndt said. “We need more farmers and more skilled workers.” Bochler buys from over 200 farmers and services 950 restaurant and hotel accounts. The Specialtyproduce.com app lists and describes over 2,100 ingredients for consumers and producers. “It’s important to tell the story of fruits and vegetables,” Bochler said.
The second panel addressed “Community Health and Education.” Brad Knipscheer represented Temecula Valley Unified School District talking about how his “Fresh Foods” program is creating a positive impact in the local farm-to- schools’ food systems. “We are excited to offer kids locally sourced produce that kids love!” Knipscheer said. “It’s exciting to also know that our local economy and the planet can benefit because of this practice.” Christopher White, five-star executive chef at Vineyard Ranch, addressed the loss of nutritional value from harvest to table of various food sources, emphasizing local sourcing. Cecilia Harris, community health benefit manager at Kaiser Permanente in Riverside, considers food as “culinary medicine” and one of the social determinants of health, along with work, play and worship. Chef Leah Di Bernardo, founder of E.A.T. Marketplace, facilitated the discussion. One of the concepts included educating the food chain to base purchasing food choices on nutritional density as opposed to poundage. The third panel discussed “AgriTourism & the Future of Local Farming.” The panel consisted of Thom Curry from Temecula Valley Olive Oil Company, Phil Noble from Sage Mountain Farm, Mark Woodsmall from Spero Vineyards and moderator Emily Falappino of the advisory committee for GROW Temecula Valley. “We hope to create a model in our area that can be adopted universally in other communities and nationwide,” Falappino said. The panel discussion identified challenges – costs, water, transportation and delivery, competition from big agri-businesses, skilled labor shortage, getting consumers educated/interested in local versus prepackaged and the perception and image of farming. They also discussed possibilities of shared resources and distribution, as well as co-op farms on Community Supported Agriculture boxes that consumers can order. CSA is a membership service that delivers regular shipments of locally grown fresh produce and foods. Noble shared about his partnership with four local breweries that creates an “almost closed ecosystem.” The spent grain and barley is fed to cows, ultimately creating what he calls “cerveza beef.” “This initiative is modeled after GROW Riverside,” Christine Damko, Economic Development Analyst for the city of Temecula, said. “There are a number of easy ways to support the local food movement. Look for the “GROW” logo at restaurant and grocery stores, join a CSA or use your place of business as a CSA pickup point, visit a farmers market, take a tour of a local farm and source local food first.” For more information, visit www.

Hemet Downtown Specific Plan receives final council approval
Hemet City Council recognizes the members of the Downtown Advisory Committee, with certificates, who worked with the Planning Department and staff on finalizing the Downtown Specific Plan that was approved by council April 11. The resident members, pictured on the right, reviewed the plans with the city staff and helped with ideas that were incorporated in the plan. Tony Ault photo
Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Hemet City Council approved four items related to the Downtown Specific Plan Tuesday, April 11, that completed two years of intensive study and planning opening the door to implementing the plans for the long-sought revitalization of the Hemet downtown area. The goals of the Downtown Specific Plan envisioned two years ago are: to revitalize the Historic Downtown core area and add development; foster economic development and job creations; promote public health and safety; increase housing opportunities in mixed use development; incor-
porate green building techniques and technologies; create a thriving community center for residents, visitors and workers; increase access to transit facilities, Metrolink and other modes of transportation and eliminate blighted conditions and enhance the attractiveness of public spaces. The city initially received a Proposition 84-funded grant, administered by the Southern California Association of Governments for consultant services to develop the Downtown Hemet Specific Plan. Consultants were hired to create the specific plan including project manager of First Carbon Solutions, Frank Coyle and project manager Charles Holcombe. They both ap-
peared at the Tuesday meeting to review the plan and amendments. In reviewing the amended plan, the consultants described the project area, which is a 360-acre area located in the city of Hemet’s historic downtown. The project area is bounded by Oakland Avenue on the north, Gilbert Street on the west, Acacia Avenue on the south and Santa Fe Street on the east. The current predominant land uses in the area are single- and multi-family residential, which collectively compose 22 percent of the Specific Plan area and sum up to 719 residential units. Commercial development is centered along Florida Avenue and State Street corridors and within the downtown core and comprises 16 percent of the Specific Plan area. 5 percent of the Specific Plan area consists of government land uses, and 7 percent consists of educational land uses and the new Hemet Elementary School. The 36-acre Hemet Stock Farm located in the northwest corner of the Specific Plan area has one residential unit, while the remainder of the property is presently vacant. The city owns several properties in the central core area that are also vacant or underutilized, totaling 4.79 acres. The proposed Specific Plan features a land use plan, circulation plan, urban design framework, utility infrastructure plan, development standards, design guidelines and sustainability plan for future development within the plan boundaries. The council was asked by the city Community Economic Devel-
opment Director Deanna Elliano to complete the plan by adopting a resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan for the Downtown Hemet Specific Plan. The declaration, No. 16-001 and ZOA 16-005, describes the project, presents findings related to the environmental conditions and supports the reasons to support the findings. The council was also asked to amend a portion of the General Plan regarding the land use element for 13 sites to allow for a new bicycle circulation plan in the downtown area. The new plan calls for a circular bicycle path running around the downtown area, some partially following the abandoned railroad tracks and other city-owned property. Next, the council was asked to approve and waive any future reading of the ordinance establishing the Hemet Downtown Specific Plan concluding the many public hearings on the plan. At the April 11 public hearing, there were no residents for or against the Downtown Hemet Specific Plan asking to speak before the council on the matter.
And finally, the council was asked to amend to the zoning ordinance related to the specific plan so it would be consistent to the single-family residential zoning in the downtown area. The council approved all four items with their 5-0 vote and praised the Community Development Department and the consultants for their work on the project. There were a few questions about the bicycle circulation, the Caltrans Florida Raised Center Median plan, traffic circulation and the plan’s noise implications by council. There was also a question about the proposed one-way street designations for Carmalita and Juanita streets crossing Florida Avenue. Elliano said studies showed it would actually be benefit for the overall traffic circulation in the area. Elliano said there are differences in the Caltrans median design plans and the Downtown Hemet Specific Plan, but the city hopes to resolve them through future discussions. She said Caltrans also is concerned the plan includes consideration for street and sidewalk ramps for disabled persons along Florida Avenue.
Supervisors approve Memorandum of Intent for Diamond Valley Lake Recreation Area Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Riverside County board of supervisors, who act as the board of the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District, approved a Memorandum of Intent between the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District, the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the city of Hemet and the Eastern Municipal Water District, regarding the Diamond Valley Lake Recreation Area. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote April 11 makes the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District part of the effort to develop a uniform vision for implementing self-sustaining private and/or public-sector recreational improvements on property in the vicinity of
Diamond Valley Lake, owned by the Metropolitan Water District, and the Memorandum of Intent also establishes a stakeholder implementation committee to advance the recreational projects. The Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District manages and controls open space and recreational areas at Lake Skinner and at the Multi-Species Reserve adjacent to the Diamond Valley Lake Recreation Area. The district’s involvement in the planning and development of the Diamond Valley Lake Recreation Area will allow for cohesive and compatible facilities, trails and other recreation opportunities in the area. The Memorandum of Intent will be non-binding unless a separate written agreement stipulates that a project identified through the process can proceed.

Local Wildomar City Council approves raise for city manager, Bundy Canyon Resort Apartments plan Michelle Rivas VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Wildomar City Council met at their regularly scheduled April 12 meeting to discuss a variety of issues including the Bundy Canyon Resort Apartments, the amendment to City Manager Gary Nordquist’s contract and to recognize leaders in the community. The council meeting started off with presentations from members of the public. First off, the 2016 Miss City of Wildomar Queens presented their new court as well as some final thoughts by outgoing Miss Wildomar, Jessie Taylor. Dave Fonteau, Executive Director of Cops for Kids, announced upcoming events and fundraisers including a Celebrity Golf Tournament May 5. Lastly, two local bus drivers, Kat
Garrett and Angie Couch, were recognized as “Bus Drivers of the Year” and spoke about their experiences helping the community and what the honor means to them. After public presentations and comments, the council turned to a hot topic surrounding Wildomar; the proposed Bundy Canyon Resort Apartments. The Bundy Canyon complex would include 140 residential units consisting of 50 town homes and 90 apartments on a 28-acre site that will be located on Bundy Canyon Road. Councilmember Ben Benoit excused himself from the deliberation process because of his involvement with the Regional Apartments Association. Council and the public were show a presentation on the project by city planner Matt Bassi, which included specific details of the project and
what the process of building the apartments would be. The council discussed the drawbacks and advantages that the apartment complex would bring and after negotiating the installation of an interim signal to be install before occupancy, the City Council approved the project with a 3-1-0 vote. The next highlight was the third amendment to the employment contract for City Manager Gary Nordquist and the details involved. Norquist’s contract was extended from Dec. 31, 2017, to Dec. 31, 2020, with his base salary increasing to $191,000 effective Jan. 1. Under the amended contract, Nordquist’s salary could also increase by about $10,000 every year based on his annual performance until his contract expires. Nordquist’s contract will also include a retirement health
savings program plan. After the details of the contract were discussed, council members praised Nordquist’s service and work. “All of us up here really appreciate what Gary has done,” Councilwoman Marsha Swanson said. “His financial and business skills have kept us afloat and kept us going. He’s always been willing to carry us through.” Councilmember Dustin Nigg also praised Norquist.
Initiations of general plan amendment proceedings for Harvest Valley land approved Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Riverside County board of supervisors approved the initiation of proceedings for a general plan amendment to change the land use designation of a 99-acre Harvest Valley City parcel. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote April 11 authorizes Trip Hord Associates to initiate the process which would change the land’s general plan foundation component from rural community to community development and to amend the land use designation from estate density residential to medium density residential. The minimum lot size for the estate density residential designation is 2 acres
VOICE from page A-1 since day one,” she said. According to Villaranda, Keys has taught her so much more than how to be successful in the music business. “The biggest thing Alicia has taught me is how to be real and having confidence and faith in myself,” she said. After Villaranda’s performance Keys said that even when Anatalia
while 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre are allowed under the medium density residential designation. The approval of the initiation of general plan amendment proceedings does not approve the general plan amendment itself, and a rezone would also be necessary since the current A-2 heavy agriculture zoning stipulates a 10-acre minimum. The property is north of Stowe Road, east of Richmond Road, south of Stetson Avenue and west of Stueber Lane. When the county’s General Plan Advisory Committee heard the proposed general plan amendment Aug. 25, the committee members felt that a foundation component change would be appropriate due to other foundation changes in the area and the
general growth through the corridor. During the Nov. 2 hearing of the county’s planning commission, the commissioners indicated that a change in land use designation to medium density residential could be compatible but warned that the implementation of the design would need to take the surrounding community’s larger lots into consideration. The planning commission also commented that integration of public parks and trails should be part of the design. During the general plan amendment proceedings, an environmental analysis as well as a land use review will be conducted, and a public hearing will also precede any decision on the actual general plan amendment.
wasn’t doing a high tempo song, “She still manages to be this burst of energy and light.” “You have so much personality, so much feeling and I think it’s really cool to see the diversity that you have and tonight you really showed America that you have a range inside of you and there is no stopping what you can create,” Keys said. “I am really proud of this performance.”
Competition was tough during the first rounds of the Live Playoffs, though and ultimately voters chose to save worship leader Chris Blue and touring singer Vanessa Ferguson while Keys chose published author and “Colonial Blue” Singer Stephanie Rice as her save, sending Villaranda home. “I will always call Anatalia my little firecracker,” Keys said.
“Gary’s truly an asset to us,” he said. Council members also mentioned that Nordquist not only deserved the raise, but he hadn’t had a raise in five years and that it was long overdue. The next city council meeting will be held May 10, at 6:30 p.m. at Wildomar City Hall. For more information about the city and the council visit, www.cityofwildomar.org.

games each team would have to face off against each other this season was held at the Diamond in Lake Elsinore for the ninth straight year in the annual Southwestern league Triple Header. Though they had the early game, it would be a long day for the Great Oak Wolfpack, falling to Chaparral 5-0. Chaparral scored four runs in the sixth inning thanks to a single by Parker Chase and a double by Matthew Happ. Jesse Morales earned the win for Chaparral (10-9, 4-3). Morales tossed six innings, surrendering zero runs, six hits and struck out two batters. Trent Topping took the loss for Wolfpack. He threw five innings, allowed one run, six hits, and struck out two batters as well. Worth Planer went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Wolfpack in hits. Chaparral collected eight hits.

LAKE ELSINORE – The half way point for the local high school baseball teams has come and gone and there is a dogfight brewing in the Southwestern League. Vista Murrieta (13-4, 7-1) is the clear front runner with their only loss in league coming from the second place Chaparral Pumas (10-8, 4-3), but it’s the middle of the pack that are fighting it out, as the Rams, Nighthawks and Golden Bears keep exchanging wins and losses at every turn. The early games last week leading into the ninth annual Southwestern League Triple Header at the Diamond in Lake Elsinore had Murrieta Mesa and Temecula Valley meeting for the final time this season, as well as Vista Murrieta facing Murrieta Valley and Great Oak squaring off against Chaparral. Murrieta Mesa (6-17, 3-5) headed into their second match-up of the season against the Golden Bears with a new
face on the mound behind sophomore Brant Voth, who allowed just three hits against Temecula Valley (11-7-1, 3-4). The Golden Bears captured the lead in the first inning with one out when Austin Baltierra drove in the only run of the game after he doubled. Murrieta Mesa took the lead for good with two runs in the bottom of the first inning when senior third baseman, Kiel Palm, homered off Baltierra, driving in two runs. Voth earned the win for Murrieta Mesa Rams Varsity tossing all seven innings, allowing one run, three hits and striking out six. Baltierra took the loss for Temecula Valley. He pitched five and two-thirds innings, allowing two runs, seven hits, striking out six and walking one. The Rams collected seven hits in the game, Cameron Skinner and Kevin Gameros each collected two hits to lead Murrieta Mesa. Great Oak (9-10, 2-5) got their second win of league after defeating Chaparral 3-1.
Cameron Mabee earned the win for the Wolfpack. He tossed five and two-thirds innings, surrendering one run, four hits and struck out five batters. Hayden Johns took the loss for Chaparral. He went seven innings, surrendering three runs, 10 hits, striking out four and walking zero. In the other early game last week the Vista Murrieta Broncos jumped out to an early lead over Murrieta Valley and took home an 8-2 victory. Jake Moberg earned the win for Broncos. He went three innings, surrendering two runs, four hits and struck out one batter. Lucas Gonzalez also threw two innings as he helped the Broncos finish off the game. Drew D’Ambre took the loss for Murrieta Valley after only going two innings, surrendering six runs, three hits and striking out three. Joey Hodapp, Nick Mosiello, and Mitchell Moralez each collected multiple hits for the Broncos in their win. The second game of the week and the final in the three
Broncos taking down Murrieta Valley, this time with a 2-0 victory. The Broncos didn’t take the lead until later in the game when Jake Moberg drove in two when he tripled in the fifth inning. Brandon Ross earned the win for Broncos after he tossed five and a third innings, surrendering zero runs, one hit and struck out five. Andrew Mosiello recorded the last five outs to earn the save for Broncos. Blake Timm took the loss for Murrieta Valley. Timm went seven innings, gave up two runs, five hits and struck out five. Mitchell Moralez, Moberg, Brandon Luna, Mason Campbell and Joey Hodapp each collected one hit to lead Broncos. Downen led Murrieta Valley with one hit in two at bats. In the final game of the night, despite winning the best of three game series, the Murrieta Mesa Rams watched the game slip away early and couldn’t recover in a 5-1 loss to Temecula Valley. Murrieta Mesa scored one run when Ian Byers doubled with two
outs in the first inning, but Temecula Valley countered that same inning when Austin Baltierra singled off Tony Carreon, driving in two runs. Carreon induced McKinney to hit into a fielder’s choice, but one run scored. Ethan Clough earned the win for Temecula Valley with his six innings on the mound, surrendering one run, four hits, striking out seven and walking none. Carreon took the loss for Murrieta Mesa Rams Varsity. He tossed five innings, allowing three runs, four hits and struck out four. Byers, Brant Voth, Kevin Gameros, and Anthony Salcedo each collected one hit to lead Murrieta Mesa. Baltierra led Temecula Valley with two runs batted in. He went 2-for-4 on the day. Murrieta Mesa has this week off from games as Vista Murrieta is competing in the famed Boras Classic, Temecula Valley will face Great Oak and Murrieta Valley will take on Chaparral. Game times are set for 3:30 p.m.

As the school year winds down, so does the final chapter of the high school sports seasons. With spring sports coming to an end, many of the area’s top student athletes from schools all over Southwest Riverside County recently finalized the next step in their journey of playing sports at the college level. Even though the initial signing date for many collegiate sports is the first Wednesday in February, student athletes that are seniors in high school are still eligible to sign from that day on through Aug. 1 of 2017. Those that have signed are in fact signing a binding National Letter of Intent with an NCAA or NAIA school, committing in writing to attend that school in exchange for a commitment from the school to receive some form of a scholarship. The NCAA was formed in 1906 and is a larger association representing bigger schools and universities. NCAA schools are organized into three divisions, D1, D2 and D3. Division 1 schools are typically the largest universities and compete in a minimum of 14 sports for both males and females. These schools often have world class facilities, attract the top athletes in the country and receive the most media attention. Division 2 schools are smaller than D1 schools and student athletes usually finance their education with a combination of athletic and educational scholarships. Division 3 schools are the smallest of the NCAA institutions. D3 schools are not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. The NAIA was established in 1937 and is a smaller association. It is made up of smaller 4-year colleges throughout the United States and competitive levels are comparable to NCAA D2 schools.
Student Athletes from Great Oak sign their National Letters of Intent April 12, during a ceremony held at Scott Padgett photo the school.
There are equally talented players in the NAIA and NCAA D2 schools and both have excellent opportunities for education and athletic achievement. Some high school athletes do go on to play at the NJCAA level, which is also a great accomplishment. The NJCAA is the baby of all the divisions in the U.S., however it is not something to be rejected in the slightest. NJCAA schools are only two years long and most transfer to a 4-year institute (NCAA, NAIA) after their time spent. The following athletes were reported to the Valley News as having recently signed their National Letter of Intent.

Sports Chaparral High School alumnus second in world championship cycling race TEMECULA – Chaparral High School alumnus Sarah Hammer finished second Sunday, April 16, in the points race at cycling’s 2017 UCI Track World Championships in Hong Kong. In a points race, riders score points for sprints that occur every 10 laps around the 250-meter track during the 100-lap race and for lapping the field. Hammer was third in two sprints and fifth in another, finishing with 51 points, eight less than Elinor Barker of Great Britain, who was third in three sprints and fifth in two others. The medal was the 15th for the 33-year-old Hammer in world championships, which are conducted by UCI, cycling’s international governing body. Hammer finished fourth in the 10-kilometer scratch race Wednesday, where the winner is the first to cross the finish line, and fifth in the omnium Friday, where riders receive points based on their finishes in the event’s four races.

Lake Elsinore fishing report; Bass starting to bite The catfish bite is still fair. While the bite slowed toward the weekend, bigger fish were reported being caught. The “Whopper of the week” came in at 14 pounds on fresh, frozen shad. Several 8 to 10 pound fish were in the mix as well. Mac bites and shad were the baits that produced the most action for catching the catfish. Crappie is still being caught in moderate numbers. Morning and late evening anglers have had the most success using mini jigs under a float near rocky underwater structure and points. Largemouth bass bite is starting to heat up for boat anglers. Crank baits and Spinner baits have been getting the job done. Carp are also being caught in huge numbers on dough baits. Tip of the week; shore anglers set your drag before casting your line out. You might just go home with no fish and no rod as a result. Tight lines until next week. Next stocking will be at the end of April, just in time for the 2017 Dream Extreme Fishing Derby. Get on out and join the fun. For more information contact Williams Bait, Tackle and Boat Rentals at (951) 642-0640.

Hine Subaru donates $25,000 to ‘Share the Love’ with Assistance League Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
General Manager Bill Brumbaugh and owner John Hine of Hine Subaru of Temecula presented a $25,000 check to the Assistance League of Temecula Valley Tuesday, April 11, as a result of the Subaru “Share the Love” campaign. One of the cornerstone values of Subaru’s mission is supporting causes important to the company, its retailers and customers. Throughout the campaign, which runs from mid-November to early January each year, Subaru donates $250 for each new Subaru that is sold or leased to one of four national charities or the dealer’s local selected charity. The customer chooses to which charity the donation should go. The national campaign and its over 600 dealers have donated over $70 million in the past nine years. “This is a great way for us to give back to the community,” Brumbaugh said. “We are happy to support such a great organization for all the great things they do for
families and children in need, They are all-volunteer and all our support goes straight back to the cause. Their devotion and commitment to spend their free time and give back is amazing.” National charity partners this year include Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels America, National Park Foundation, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The local charity chosen by Hine Subaru of Temecula for the fourth consecutive year is the Assistance League of Temecula. Hine Subaru has donated over $54,000 to the organization. “Nationally, 50 percent of customers chose their local charity,” Brumbaugh said. “Here in Temecula, 80 percent chose the Assistance League. This is a great testament to what they do for our communities.” The Assistance League of Temecula Valley is an all-volunteer 501(c) (3) nonprofit that serves the cities and schools of southwest Riverside County. Their philanthropic programs include: Operation School bell, Operation Foster Youth, Operation Scholarships, Operations

“We are thankful for such a great partnership with Hine Subaru,” Elektra Demos, former president of the Assistance League and current Community Ambassador said. “Donations from businesses and individuals enable us to help
more at-risk families and children. We are greatly encouraged that so many Subaru customers chose us as their charity for the Subaru donation. Donations to our thrift store also provide for our programs.”
What does retirement look like if you haven’t saved? Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
The picture of retirement that many people have is a post-work period filled with travel and plenty of relaxation. It’s a time when they can finally take up a new hobby, sink into the pile of books and enjoy more time with family and friends. The reality is that many haven’t been able to save enough money to enjoy this idealized retirement. What might their retirement look like? They may be working for longer than expected. Many people undergo a period of “phased retirement” and either reduce their hours or start a new part-time job after retiring from a full-time schedule. Even those who don’t have a financial need may find that they value the activity and connections work brings to their lives. Without savings, continuing to work might not be a choice, but they can still look for fulfilling opportunities. Continuing within the same profession part-time or taking on related consulting work could be the most financially rewarding route, if it’s an option. Alternatives such as customer service positions with a retailer are popular among some retirees. There are also Internetbased jobs that allow people to work from home. Social Security could be their sole source of income. Retirees who don’t have a pension or savings and stop working may find that Social Security is their only income.
Social Security benefits depend on when a person was born, how much they’ve paid into the program, when they start to take benefits and whether or not they’re eligible for a government pension. Once they start receiving benefits, they’ll lock in a monthly amount, although it will adjust to account for inflation. Therefore, deciding when to start taking Social Security benefits is important, as it can impact a person’s income for the rest of their life. Claiming benefits once a person reaches their full or normal retirement age, 65 to 67 depending on when they were born, is when they’ll receive 100 percent of the monthly Social Security benefit. Taking benefits early can lock in a lower rate, while waiting can increase the monthly benefit. In 2017, if a retiree is eligible for the maximum benefit and starts claiming at 62, they’ll receive about $2,153 per month. If they waited until they were 70 this year, they’ll receive about $3,538 per month. The Social Security Administration’s Retirement Age Calculator is useful to see the difference in how taking Social Security early, or waiting, can affect benefits. Depending on their income, retired people might have to downsize and make lifestyle changes. Moving to an area that has a significantly lower cost of living could mean the difference between living with financial challenges and having a com-
fortable retirement. Some people look for less expensive areas close to family members or even an expat community in a different country. If they decide to stay in the same area, a smaller home can lower property taxes and maintenance costs. They can also take any profits from the sale of a larger home and pay off debts or build an investment portfolio. Housing aside, there are many ways to downsize a lifestyle, such as selling a vehicle, shopping at secondhand stores and cutting back on monthly entertainment expenses. One helpful part of aging is becoming eligible for all sorts of new discounts and benefits. Look online for lists of stores or organizations that offer senior discounts. Use the National Council on Aging Benefits Checkup to see which benefits are available based on your ZIP code and personal information. The bottom line is many aging Americans don’t have enough savings to fund their lifestyle through retirement. Deciding when to take Social Security benefits and where to live are two of the most pressing questions on the horizon. No matter what people choose, they may need to supplement their income with part-time work and look for ways to significantly lower their cost of living to enjoy retirement.

RIVERSIDE – The board of supervisors voted to increase fees charged by the Department of Environmental Health for permits to sell food, operate tattoo parlors, store public waste and conduct other activities that require the county’s stamp of approval. In a 4-0 vote without comment, the board approved Environmental Health Director Steve Van Stockum’s request to raise permit fees by 2 percent in the next fiscal year, reflecting a corresponding increase in the region’s consumer price index last year. “The Department of Environmental Health certifies that the 2 percent
adjustment in fees will be sufficient to meet the department’s 2017-18 budget needs of the programs funded by those fees,” Van Stockum said in a statement posted to the board’s policy agenda. A county ordinance passed in 2014 authorizes the department to modify fees to keep up with inflation. Department of Environmental Health officials anticipate the agency will be saddled with nearly $1 million in additional costs in 2017-18, due mainly to greater internal service charges, as well as higher labor expenses stemming from union contracts. The fee hikes will net about $450,000 in additional revenue.
Under the new fee schedule, obtaining a permit to operate a restaurant will cost $720 annually, compared to $706 now; a tavern permit will go from $967 to $986; a produce stand permit from $360 to $367; a vending machine permit from $73 to $74; a public swimming pool permit from $392 to $399; a septic tank truck permit from $335 to $341; a solid waste storage facility permit from $3,958 to $4,037 and a body art facility permit from $237 to $241. Van Stockum said businesses “will be moderately impacted” by the higher fees.

Graduation rates rise in California RIVERSIDE – The dropout rate among Riverside County students in the high school class of 20152016 dropped from the previous year, coupled with an upward tick in the graduation rate, according to figures released by the state Department of Education. The dropout rate for Riverside County students who started high school in 2012-2013 was 6.3 percent, down from 7.7 percent for the class of 2014-2015. The graduation rate was 89.2 percent, compared to 87.4 percent for the previous year’s class.

A total of 83.2 percent of the state’s students who started high school in 2012-2013 graduated with their class in 2016, up 0.9 percentage points from the previous year, according to the state. “This is great news for our students and families,” Torlakson said. “Graduation rates have gone up seven years in a row, reflecting renewed optimism and increased investments in our schools that have helped reduce class sizes, bring back classes in music, theater, art, dance and science and expand career technical education programs that engage our students with hands-on, minds-on learning.” The report also showed a state-
wide lowering of the dropout rate. Of the students who started high school in 2012-2013, 9.8 percent dropped out, down from 10.7 percent the previous year.

Hemet Valley Medical Center (HVMC) has received two 5-star Healthgrades awards for 2017 for Hip Replacement and Hip Fracture Treatment. A 5-star rating indicates that both
Menifee and Hemet Valley Medical Centers’ clinical outcomes are statistically significantly better than expected when treating the condition or performing the procedure being evaluated. According to Healthgrades, “Hospitals that have achieved Healthgrades 5-star awards have demonstrated a commitment to exceptional quality care for their patients,” said Evan Marks, Chief Strategy Officer,
Healthgrades. “In an environment where consumers have more choices about where to receive their care, a hospital’s commitment to achieving a superior degree of quality for their patients is more important than ever.” Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospitals nationwide which include 4,500 hospitals. It is an online leading service that allows patients to rate their experience and care. Their ratings allow patients to make informed

decisions when choosing a hospital or a physician. Not only was Menifee Valley Medical Center a recipient of multiple awards this year, in 2016 MVMC received the award for Excellence in Patient Safety According to Healthgrades. The Patient Safety Excellence Award is given to hospitals rated in the top 10 percent in the nation for providing the highest patient safety and helping prevent infections, medical errors and complications. Dan McLaughlin, Hospital CEO of MVMC and HVMC said, “Hemet and Menifee Valley Medical Centers are pleased to receive recognition from Healthgrades. It is our mission to continually innovate processes and technology to deliver patient care. Our hospitals choose to be proactive in participating in industrywide quality initiatives. This, coupled with our focus on a culture of “Patient Care Excellence and Safety” enables our facilities to earn your trust as your provider of choice. I wish to thank our Medical Staff, clinicians and support staff who have made this possible.” Hemet Valley Medical Center was founded in 1943 and is a 327-bed hospital accredited by The Joint Commission. It is one of “the largest private employers in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley.” In contrast, Menifee Valley Medical Center was founded in 1989 and is an 84-bed hospital. McLaughlin and his staff are ready
for the envisioned growth and all the future resources and medical needs that will come with it. Both Medical Centers are continuing their journey of innovation and deployment of the latest medical and emergency room equipment and the pursuit of many more Healthgrades awards. *For its analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 45 million Medicare inpatient records for nearly 4,500 short-term acute care hospitals nationwide, assessing hospital performance relative to each of 32 common conditions and procedures, as well as an evaluation of comparative outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 18 states. Healthgrades recognizes a hospital’s quality achievements for cohort-specific performance, specialty area performance, and overall clinical quality. Individual procedure or condition cohorts are designated as 5-star (statistically significantly better than expected), 3-star (not statistically different from expected) and 1-star (statistically significantly worse than expected) categories.

TEMECULA – The San Diego Blood Bank invites the community to donate blood, as it partners with local schools. Temecula Valley High School, 31555 Rancho Vista Road, will host a mobile blood drive Monday, April 24, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in their mini gym. Calvary Chapel Bible College, 39405 Murrieta Hot Springs Road, will host a mobile blood drive Tuesday, April 25, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in their auditorium parking lot. About 1 in 7 people entering a hospital need blood. One pint of blood, which is the amount volunteers give when they donate blood, can save up to three lives. Approximately, 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood but less
than 10 percent do annually. Since blood is always needed, volunteers are asked to give blood for patients, such as those going through cancer or trauma. Donors must meet eligibility requirements, including being at least 17 years or older, age 16 with a parental consent, weigh at least 114 pounds and be in good health. It is recommended that donors consume an adequate meal and plenty of fluids before giving. Photo identification must be presented upon registration. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment for their convenience but walk-ins are also welcome. To schedule an appointment, call (619) 469-7322 or visit www.SanDiegoBloodBank.org.

Sanctuary state bill could be opportunity for California split Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
states. Congressional approval is required to create a new state. Congress could also split California without voter approval and normally such a unilateral action without state support would have no possibility of occurring. It should also be noted that no new state has been created by the split of an existing state since 1863, when West Virginia became the nation’s 35th state. The sanctuary state bill, however, creates similar circumstances to those which led to West Virginia. Virginia had joined the Confederate States of America in 1861, but the western part of Virginia did not desire to secede from the Union. The western portion of Virginia seceded from the state of Virginia, and Congress subsequently admitted West Virginia to the Union. A declaration of California as a sanctuary state in defiance of federal policy might not be a rebellion to the extent of seceding from the Union, but it could allow the
Although the legislation, which if passed, would make the entirety of California a “sanctuary state” for those entering the country illegally is philosophically distasteful for residents of many California counties, it may also present a greater opportunity to split California into multiple states. In recent years, agricultural interests have advocated splitting California into multiple states so that the agricultural counties are separated from the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Many of the proposals would split California into two states. One proposal, which would have split California into six states, failed to obtain enough valid petition signatures to qualify for a statewide election. Approval of the state’s voters, or even the state Legislature, won’t alone split California into multiple
residents who wish to secede from California the opportunity to request that Congress split California into loyal and rebellious counties. Congress created the state of West Virginia without the consent of the Virginia legislature and without a vote of the entire state of Virginia; so, if California becomes a sanctuary state, Congress might split California without state legislative approval or a statewide public vote. That situation could be the opportunity those who wish to separate from Los Angeles and San Francisco need. There is no guarantee that the additional state would translate into more Republicans in the United States Senate or more Electoral College votes for the Republican candidates, nor would the proposed plan for multiple California states constitute ethnic cleansing by eliminating the Hispanic population from the state which doesn’t include Los Angeles. Because the boundaries of the multiple
Californias have been developed by agricultural interests, agricultural counties with a significant Hispanic population are included in the separating part. It should be noted that agricultural Hispanics may vote differently than urban Hispanics, although those counties also often have a significant urban Hispanic population. National security would also dictate that San Diego, Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino counties be separated from the parts of California promoting sanctuary state status. The inclusion of San Diego and Imperial counties in the new state would ensure the protection of the national border. This plan could also aid the “Calexit” movement in which part of California - and possibly western Oregon and western Washington - form a separate country independent of the United States of America. Numerous military bases in San Diego and Imperial counties, as well as in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, merit
including those counties in what would remain the United States. Although American military bases exist in foreign nations, military contractors as well as many nonmilitary federal contractors must be American citizens. Not only does retaining those counties ensure that these contractors can continue to work on federal programs, but the Democrat base in those counties would be decimated without the yuppies working on such programs and that scenario would make those counties more suitable for the new California rather than the sanctuary state. The legislation to make California a sanctuary state thus ferments a “go ahead, make my day” attitude from many who oppose it. A sanctuary state might not be what America needs, but the sanctuary state legislation might be what those in the counties which would be separated from California need.
Mental health and drug abuse is a dual issue Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Sex offender convicted of trying to abduct girl two-week trial, completed his closing argument Thursday, as did Deputy District Attorney Ed Jensen. “I did not try to tell her to get into my car,” Baker told jurors before resting his case earlier this week. “I had no chloroform, no mask, no gun – nothing you need for a kidnapping. There’s no evidence that I tried to abduct the victim. I wouldn’t do anything that could ruin what I’ve worked so hard for all my life.” Jensen argued that Baker was a predator, who had no reason to accost the victim on the afternoon of Aug. 12, 2016, except for unsavory purposes. “This young girl told the defendant ‘no’ over and over again when he asked to give her a ride,” Jensen told jurors at the outset of the trial. “Yet, Mr. Baker continued to roll alongside her, refusing to take no
RIVERSIDE – A registered sex offender who tried to snatch a 12-year-old girl from a Temecula street, in what he insisted was an innocent act of asking for directions, was convicted Friday, April 14, of attempted kidnapping to commit rape and other felonies. A Riverside jury deliberated one day before finding 69-year-old Robert Francis Baker of Hemet guilty. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Michael Donner scheduled a sentencing hearing for June 30, at the Riverside Hall of Justice. In addition to the attempted kidnapping count, jurors convicted Baker of attempted lewd acts on a child, annoyance of a child by a registered sex offender and two counts of being in possession of child porn. The defendant could face life in prison. Baker, who acted as his own attorney throughout the roughly
for an answer.” Jensen alleged that Baker pulled out a large roll of cash and flashed it at the girl, identified in court documents only as “J.M.,” as an inducement for her to get into his rented vehicle. But she firmly stated that she had no intention of accepting a ride. Baker insisted: “I didn’t have any time to do anything inappropriate to her.” The defendant asserted that he was trying to locate a Temecula dentist on Pauba Road for a $6,000 dental procedure when he encountered J.M. Baker said he was disoriented, unfamiliar with the area and pulled over to ask the girl for directions. Baker choked and wept on several occasions while testifying, telling the jury he wouldn’t do
anything to jeopardize his freedom and risk not being able to care for his now-98-year-old mother. The one-time charter boat captain said he had learned his lesson after a 1994 conviction for child molestation in San Diego County, and after serving a decade in prison, went out of his way to avoid run-ins with the law. He admitted asking the victim twice whether she wanted a ride, even though she told him “no” the first time. Baker also acknowledged flashing cash at her, but said he was trying to pull out his driver’s license to put J.M. at ease, and the money and card were bound together by rubber band. “I was two seconds from pulling away, and in comes a hand and badge, telling me to turn off the car,” the defendant said, referring to

Harry was booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of attempted murder and was being held without bail, he said. The original incident Harry was investigated for occurred around 8:20 p.m. Saturday in the 22000 block of Giant Fir in Canyon Lake, Williams said. Details of the crime were not immediately available.

his detention by District Attorney’s Office Investigator Ron McGowan. According to Jensen, McGowan was in the area on business and witnessed the interaction between Baker and the girl while driving by. Jensen said the investigator stopped and asked J.M. if she knew Baker, and when she said she didn’t, “Ron intervened and detained the defendant.” Sheriff’s deputies took over the investigation, during which they found multiple vibrators, condoms and lubricants in Baker’s rental car, according to Jensen. He also said a search of the defendant’s Hemet home resulted in the seizure of several laptop computers loaded with child porn. Baker is being held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Hemet Dickey’s Barbecue Pit beckons the hungriest families
Hemet residents Frank and Victoria Carrillo enjoy their delicious barbecue plate served at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, 1127 S. Sanderson Ave. in Hemet.
[Above] This tender smoked barbecue beef brisket sandwich served with sides of baked beans and a baked potato casserole and a large drink is by far the favorite of customers at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Hemet.

When you walk into Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Hemet the delicious smell of barbecued meat fills your olfactory nerves sending your mind into the wonderful smells of outdoor barbecues and fun family times. Your eyes catch the familiar blue-checkered, oilcloth-covered tables enhancing the moment you will soon taste your favorite hickory wood-smoked barbecue dish whether it be tender pulled pork,
beef brisket, tender chicken breast or spicy kielbasa sausage. Delicious barbecue or jalapeno-cheddar beans, cheesy macaroni, potato salad, baked potato casserole or a host of other tasty side dishes will top off that gnawing hunger pain. Even more delightful might be a friendly conversation with Dickey’s Hemet franchise owners Roger and Sandra Farine who delight in pleasing their customers and show their Swiss hospitality and care that Americans envision while traveling to Europe. The couple is new to the Hemet/
Voted BEST MExIcAn FooD in the Inland Empire! come see why!
San Jacinto Valley. They purchased the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchise, 1127 S. Sanderson Ave., only 2 years ago. Roger and Sandra Farine, with their four children, quickly found good friends and customers with outstanding barbecue food service designed for the American family. The family travelled from Switzerland and drove an RV across America to find what Roger Farine called an “adventure” of a lifetime. “We were so glad to learn about the American people,” Roger Farine said. “The people are so nice. We made a lot of friends and met a lot of older people. When they arrived in the Valley we thought we were coming to paradise,” Roger Farine said in an interview at Dickey’s Thursday, April 13. Wanting to stay in America and the Valley, he learned they would have to have a business and found Dickey’s Barbecue Pit was available. “We needed to buy a business,” he said. “It has been an adventure.” He spent time in Dallas, Texas, learning the art of cooking hickory smoked barbecue from the national Dickey’s Barbecue Pit University and bringing it back to Hemet, making the local Dickey’s one of many successful barbecue restaurant franchises in California. Now, Dickey’s Hemet offers family barbecue fare with fast service, delectable meats at very reasonable prices. Dickey’s employees, like Dickey’s block person and pit master Steven Johnson, take
pride in preparing a single order and handing it to the customer in two minutes or less. The finest meats, including cagefree chicken without antibiotics, are hickory smoked and slow cooked every day. Meats are deliciously flavored with a choice of Dickey’s own original barbecue sauces and flavorings, ranging from the original to sweet and spicy. All the sauces are available for sale separately. There are always large fountain drinks for sale, along with free soft-serve ice creams for children and adults. As a true “family” restaurant Hemet Dickey’s does not serve alcoholic beverages. Dickey’s favorite dish, according to Roger Farine, is the half-pound barbecued pulled pork sandwich followed by the barbecue beef brisket. Roger Farine said his personal favorite is the 220-calorie, sweet barbecue chicken breast meal. For the hungrier guests’ he recommends the half rack of barbecue ribs or perhaps the full rack. Those seeking a special spicy taste treat might choose either the Polish kielbasa sausage or the jalapeno cheddar kielbasa. The 440-calorie turkey sandwich is simple and delicious. “I really love that sandwich,” customer Victoria Carrillo said that evening April 13. “That’s all she always orders,” her husband Frank Carrillo said, while eating a rack of barbecued ribs. The Carrillos are regular customers of Dickey’s. “The food is good, he said.
“There is a good variety. We keep coming back.” Dickey’s Barbecue Pit offers its each plate with two sides and a roll. A one-meat plate is $12, a twomeat plate is $13 and a three- meat plate is $14. A pork rib plate with two sides is $16. A “Texas-” sized Westerner plate is $12, and classic sandwich plates are $11. The classic sandwiches change Monday through Saturday for $11 each. Sunday is special as children under 12 years old eat free at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Stacks and tacos are available include the Texas fritos pie stack, $8 or the brisket mac stack, $8. The chicken and cheese taco or the brisket and cheese tacos are only $2.50 each. Soft serve ice cream, Pecan pie slices, chocolate chuck cookies and blondie brownies are available for dessert. Roger’s employees delight in putting together family pack takeouts with the picnic pack, family pack and extra-large pack ranging from $31 to $66. All meats are pit cooked daily in Dickey’s wood pit.

TEMECULA – Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach, which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating for Busy Families,” published by Fair Winds. The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at the dinner tables of home cooks as well. Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach Makes 6 servings For the sauce: 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 2 pinches salt 2 pinches black pepper 1/2 teaspoon honey

To make the chicken, combine Parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper and basil in a medium dish and coat chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is shimmering, add chicken with rounded-side down and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon the sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.

While it is not yet time for the harvest in Temecula’s wine country, head winemaker Renato Sais and his winemaking team at Maurice Car’rie are hard at work ensuring that the future wine vintages from the winery will be the best possible. Traditionally, wine grape harvest occurs from August to October. In November, Sais began to bottle some of the white wines. In March and April, Sais bottles the reserved whites and some of the lighter reds. In June and July, some of the bolder, more full bodied reserve reds are bottled, such as the cabernet and blends. By bottling the whites and lighter reds first, it preserves the delicate flavors that would be lost with further time in a tank or barrel. However, just because wines are bottled does not mean that they are ready to drink, explained Sais. “The wine matures at a much slower rate than if it were in a tank or barrel,” he said. “The flavor also does not change; instead it becomes better. That’s the beauty of having a schedule we can follow with a plan of action. We can produce wine in a
timely manner. When a wine is placed in the bottle, it no longer receives additional flavors.” This type of schedule allowed Sais to develop the sanDREWvese, which is an easygoing red blend comprised of 83 percent Sangiovese and 17 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has a distinct flavor and scent, with red ripe berries, lilac, a swirl of red licorice scent and the flavors of bright cherry and toasted vanilla fill out the palate. Maurice Van Roekel, one of the founding family members of the Maurice Car’rie winery, has made a tradition of naming wines after her grandchildren, and wanted a bold wine that could be enjoyed by everyone at a barbecue, or with a summertime pizza. Wines that are left in the tank or barrel tend to have more robust flavors, which is why they can withstand the additional smokiness that naturally occurs with wine barrels. Bottles are sterilized and steamed at 185 degrees Fahrenheit for 45

minutes before wine is poured in. Nitrogen is used during the corking process to make certain that the best flavors are kept throughout the bottling process. The bottling process is also the last opportunity for Sais and his team to determine if the wine has achieved the flavors that they have worked to achieve. “This is the time when I am nervous, because it’s the last time I can modify the wine. I enter anxiety mode,” said Sais. “But once the wine is bottled, we always look to the future to develop new wines. This is an exciting stage.” Maurice Car’rie Winery is located at 34225 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

Bel Vino Winery to host Mother’s Day Brunch May 14 Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM
It’s essential to celebrate the important women in our lives – our mothers and mother figures. To add to their special day, the Bel Vino Winery has the perfect option for those looking for a beautiful setting to backdrop Mother’s Day celebrations. As part of the celebration, guests can enjoy a buffet brunch, prepared with the best ingredients by Bel Vino’s Bistro staff instead of forcing a family member or friend to host, cook and prepare a meal that not everyone will enjoy. Because of Bel Vino’s top meal options, everyone will find something to their liking. The egg bar will feature scrambled eggs, frittata and quiche with various topping selections, including tomatoes, onions, bell peppers,
mushrooms, spinach, ham, bacon and cheddar. The bagel bar will feature premium toppings, including smoked salmon and prosciutto. Guests can also enjoy premium applewood smoked ham from the carving station, and all guests can enjoy spring salads with mixed greens roasted beets, candy striped beets, watermelon radish, shaved carrots, pistachios, goat cheese and raspberry vinaigrette. Other options include chicken and waffles, sausage, bacon, pancakes; country potatoes, fruit, yogurt parfaits, assorted pastries and assorted desserts. Drinks included are bottomless mimosas and nonalcoholic drinks. Guests can purchase beer and wine at an additional cost. As a way to serve as many guests as possible, there will be two different opportunities May 14, for guests to enjoy brunch with their families and friends at their leisure;

one seating will be held from 9:3011:30 a.m. and the second will be held from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Of course, once guests have finished their meals, they are welcome to enjoy beautiful views from the hillside while enjoying some of their favorite wines from the wine bar. The cost for guests are $83.99 for non-members, $71.06 for members and $29.67 for children. Tax and gratuity are included.

Chaparral High School staging their spring musical: ‘Chicago’ include senior Emma Gunn as Roxie Hart, senior Inaijsa Betts as Velma Kelly, senior Erik Duenas as Billy Flynn, senior Julianna Smith as Matron Mama Morton, junior Dean Reynolds as Amos, junior Alexa Lugo as Mary Sunshine and junior Dylan Robb as Master of Ceremonies. “There is a lot of tradition and expectations behind this particular show,” CHS drama teacher and director Chris Irvin said. “Chicago is one of the longest running musicals on Broadway and is always on tour which means it’s one of the hardest shows to get performance rights. Chaparral Drama is one of the few non-professional theatre companies, let alone high schools, in Riverside and San Diego counties to have the privilege of performing this show. There is a lot of responsibility that goes with that and this incredible cast and crew is up to that task. Audiences will not be disappointed.” General admission is $12; all students, military personnel, and seniors age 55 or older are admitted for $10. Tickets are available online
TEMECULA – The nationally recognized Chaparral High School theater department is pleased to announce that it will debut its spring musical “Chicago” at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 20, in the performing arts center. The evening show will be presented April 21, April 27 and April 28 with matinee performances at 2 p.m. Saturdays, April 22 and April 29. Written by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb, this Tony Award-winning musical takes place in the Roaring 20s when Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap, until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream:” fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that includes the classic Broadway hit “All That Jazz.” This year’s show features a cast of 37 members. Cast members

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN
How to be the perfect real estate buyer or what not to do! Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Every first-time homebuyer starts off feeling a little skittish about what to expect not only with the process of qualifying for and buying a home but about finding the ‘perfect’ real estate agent. It’s true that agents are more than anxious to find new clients eager to buy or sell their existing home. The first-time buyer looking for the house of their dreams can have serious relationship problems with their real estate agent if they have unreasonable expectations. The seasoned real estate professional should know what they can and cannot accomplish and what is available for the buyer, in their price range. Buyers on the other hand, especially first time buyers who have never worked with a real estate agent can sometimes do things that can strain the relationship and frustrate both parties. Let’s take a look at what every real estate agent wishes their buyers would never do: Work with an agent for months and then buy from someone else at an open house – All real estate agents work on a commission, meaning if they don’t close a transaction they don’t get paid. Is it fair for a real estate agent to drive you around for weeks or even months, take your phone calls at all hours of the day/ evening and always promptly respond to your emails and texts then decide to tour an Open House and buy it from that listing agent? This has got to be the No. 1 pet peeve of nearly every real estate agent – Don’t do it! Working with more than one REALTOR® – As we mentioned above, your agent will not earn a dime until they help you find your home and close escrow on it. You should never work with more than one agent at a time. Sure, you may consider it to be convenient to have multiple agents as close as your cellphone, but it is not fair to either of them. It’s OK, even encouraged to interview multiple agents and find the right one, but not work with multiple agents at once. If this is your plan, at least be upfront and let them decide if they want to work with you. Contacting listing agents on your own – If you like and trust your real estate agent, then use him/her. While listing agent’s contact information is readily available please never make direct contact. First off, remember that agent represents the financial interests of the seller – always looking to get the best price and looking for any negotiating edge they can receive, in case of an offer. The more you talk, the more information you give up. When you find a house that
you want to know more about, let your agent do the job they’re hired to do. Don’t ask an agent to show you homes for sale before you are preapproved – Good real estate agents are busy people and having one show you homes that you cannot possible purchase is totally inconsiderate of their time – time that could be spent with clients that can actually buy a home – or even worse – time away from their home and family. Don’t look at homes outside of your price range – Be reasonable. Agents may show you homes that are slightly above your qualified price range because there are chances that either they can negotiate the price down, you may be able to come up slightly or even a combination of both. But when you are qualified for $300,000 don’t waste anyone’s time asking to see $500,000 homes – unless you have been holding out on your agent and you have the cash to spend. Look at homes that make sense.
seller to accept your offer. These pitfalls can all be avoided if you know about them ahead of time and you gather some understanding of how the entire buying process works. Please understand that real estate agents are human just like you and we all have lives, families and
homes just like you do. Together, working as a team, we can find you your dream home. Call us today, (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an informed, educated decision. Questions regarding available inventory and/or other
real estate matters please contact, Mike@GoTakeAction.com. Mike Mason, Realtor® & Broker/Owner of MASON Real Estate. LIC: 01483044, Temecula Valley resident for 30+ years, Board of Director (since 2011) Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors® (SRCAR).
Understand where you want to live – Before asking a real estate agent to drive you around town looking at homes, make sure it’s a community you want to live in. Today, with the internet, it’s easy to do your homework. Investigate the schools, commuter routes, public transportation and any other characteristic of a community that is important to you before taking the time to look at homes. Don’t make unrealistic low ball offers – A good real estate agent knows the market and will research any home that they write an offer for. The process includes looking at recent comparable sales with similar characteristics. Your agent can prepare a presentation for you showing all of the comp sales and make the necessary adjustments to show you where your offer should be. Don’t be the buyer who thinks if they throw enough junk against the wall some of it is bound to stick (unless you are an all cash investor buyer looking at distressed properties – a whole different conversation. There is a fine line between a time wasting lowball offer and testing the waters with an offer below list price – if you love the home and want to have it, then offer accordingly. Don’t make an offer contingent of selling your home – Most sellers will not really consider your offer, unless you are in escrow and all of your buyers’ contingencies have been removed. A seller wants to sell to a ready, willing and able buyer. At least make sure your home is on the market and properly priced if you even think about having a chance at enticing a

EMWD begins service to county water company customers PERRIS – Eastern Municipal Water District began providing water service to customers who have been transitioned from the now-defunct County Water Company of Riverside in a rural area of Menifee. The start of service marks the end to a yearslong process that involved the construction of a new water system in the area, the County of Riverside serving as an intermediary and legislation that was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown to protect the public agencies that took action on behalf of the homeowners in the area. “This is a landmark moment for these residents and one in which we are proud to have taken an active role in,” EMWD Board Member Ron Sullivan said, who represents the area. “Because of the efforts of all involved, the residents
of this community will now have access to a safe and reliable water supply for generations to come.” For many years, the rural enclave northwest of Murrieta Road and Scott Road had been served by a private, for-profit water system with a single well. That system was often unreliable, resulting in sustained outages and delivered water with nitrate levels significantly above the drinking water standards set forth by both federal and state regulatory agencies. EMWD and neighboring Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District collaborated to develop a plan to transition 140 homes to their service from the failing County Water Company of Riverside system. The California Department of Public Health provided a $6.5 million grant to fund new infrastructure, annexation into
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California service area and connection fees for the 140 homes. Since November 2014, the area has been receiving a safe and reliable water supply through temporary infrastructure. In 2014, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation, SB 1130, written by state Sen. Richard Roth (D-Riverside) and backed in the lower house by Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (R-Murrieta.) The legislation provides immunity to the public agencies from lawsuits filed by County of Water Company of Riverside customers for any action which was a result of the prior owners and operators of the system. The legislation protects other ratepayers from the costs associated with potential lawsuits. The County of Riverside, through the support of County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries, acted as the legal receiver of the system through the transition period. The Riverside County Economic Development Agency has been billing customers throughout the transition. As of April 11, EMWD’s portion of construction is complete and is assuming full responsibility of the system and billing of its customers. “This has been a long process, but an important one for the residents of this community,” EMWD General Manager Paul Jones said. “We sincerely appreciate both the patience of the County Water Company customers and the partnership of all of the public agencies that have helped bring this process to completion. EMWD looks forward to serving our newest customers, and we would like to personally welcome them to EMWD.”

the design. MWD will also design and construct a pipeline which extends from DWR’s turnout structure to the Colorado River Aqueduct which runs from Parker to Lake Mathews and passes to the south of Perris Dam. The DWR work for the recovery system includes geotechnical investigations including the installation of between 36 and 40 observation and aquifer testing wells, planning, environmental analysis and review and preliminary design of a recovery and collection system. The details of the preliminary design, along with the needed environmental review, will be determined after DWR completes the geotechnical investigations. MWD’s peer review scope will include geotechnical explorations, water quality and hydraulic analyses. The estimated staff time cost for MWD peer review is $370,000. DWR will fund the $7.25 million for the planning, environmental analysis and review and preliminary design, although that would be passed on to State Water Project contractors. MWD will pass on that charge to its member agencies as part of the MWD transportation charge. The conveyance pipeline would use pipe 24 inches in diameter and would include approximately 1 mile of pipeline along with valves, metering, electrical and control systems and a straight inlet into the Colorado River Aqueduct’s cut-and-cover conduit section. Electrical distribution facilities for on-site structures would also be constructed. The preliminary design phase includes hydraulic analysis, assessment of power requirements, right of way planning, geotechnical investigations, identification of traffic control and required permits, development of conceptual layout drawings and final criteria and development of a construction cost estimate. The preliminary cost estimate for the recovery system is $25 million to $27 million. DWR estimates that as much as 400,000 acre-feet of water which has seeped out of Lake Perris can be recovered, and would provide 6,000 to 8,000 acrefeet annually.
and review and preliminary design of a State Water Project water recovery project at Lake Perris. The vote also authorized MWD staff to perform preliminary design of a conveyance pipeline to deliver the recovered water to the Colorado River Aqueduct and appropriated $1.5 million for that preliminary design. Lake Perris is where the east branch of the State Water Project ends. Lake Perris is owned and operated by DWR and has a storage capacity of approximately 130,000 acre-feet. Perris Dam was completed in 1973 and has a length of 2 miles and a maximum height of 128 feet. The seismic stability of the dam was evaluated in 2005 to determine the dam’s vulnerability based on a new design level, and the study found that under the updated seismic conditions the liquefaction potential of the dam’s foundation could lead to large displacements. DWR responded by lowering the maximum operating elevation in Lake Perris by 25 feet until remediation efforts can be completed. The remediation project began with detailed studies and design, and construction commenced in 2014. The work to date includes a new toe-drain pipe which passively collects shallow seepage, and berm material to strengthen the dam is currently being placed and compacted. Completion of the remediation project is expected by the end of 2017. In conjunction with the dam remediation effort, DWR is investigating a water recovery project which would recover and collect State Water Project supply which has been seeping beneath Perris Dam and deliver that water to MWD. The project would be a joint effort between the water district and the state. DWR would design and construct a system to recover and collect the water seeping beneath Perris Dam which would be located on DWR property and would include wells, pumps and pipelines with a delivery turnout structure located adjacent to Perris Dam. MWD staff will provide technical input and peer review of

Flipping houses – it’s not like on television Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VILLAGE NEWS
Flipping a house can seem like a walk in the park when it’s wrapped into a few montages during a halfhour television segment. Just find a rundown property, buy it, take out a few walls, paint, replace carpets, upgrade the kitchen and voila – you could make tens of thousands of dollars in just a short time. Reality is seldom so straightforward. Flipping a home can be risky, and there’s no guarantee of profit. Finding and buying the right house at the right price point can be difficult. The shows often start with the submission of a winning offer on a home. Actually, it takes a lot of work to determine what a potentially good flip looks like and find a property to match. Experienced flippers have learned how to estimate costs and work backward. A rule of thumb in the industry is to take 70 percent of the potential selling price – what’s known as the after-repair value – subtract the renovation costs and use that as the maximum buying price. It requires a lot of background information, including comparable selling prices of similar homes, to figure out the right numbers. The ability to be honest while estimating the cost of parts and labor is also important. For example, if it is estimated that the renovated home could sell for $200,000, start at $140,000, which is 70 percent of $200,000. If the flipper calculates that the renovation costs will be $40,000, they’ll arrive at the maximum buying price of $100,000. The 30 percent margin that remains if everything goes according to plan isn’t entirely profit; there may still be expenses like closing costs or reimbursing investors. Flipping home requires a lot of working capital. While paying cash for a home can expedite the sale and increase profits, it might not be an option for beginner flippers. However, traditional lenders don’t necessarily offer financing for flips, especially for trying to fix up a dilapidated home. Even when they do, it might not be enough to cover all the expenses.
Instead, some flippers turn to hardmoney lenders, private individuals or companies that issue short-term loans backed by real assets such as the home they’re buying. With either traditional or hard-money lenders, expect the financing costs to be higher than what they’d pay for a mortgage if they’re buying a home to live in. Keeping an eye on the total budget is essential. If a flipper borrows enough money to make the purchase but doesn’t have cash on hand to pay for the renovations and unexpected contingencies, they’ll be stuck before they even start. In addition to the purchase price, they need money for renovations, upgrades, inspections and permits. Also, they must consider the cost of ownership between the purchase and sale. Carrying costs, including utilities, financing, insurance and property maintenance, can add up each month. They have to move fast. One thing people pick up from TV is that time is of the essence. In competitive markets, they have to move quickly to evaluate a home and put in an offer before someone else buys it. Successful flippers may have a real estate license or work with a real estate agent to get access to the multiple listing service, a directory of homes that are for sale. Others look for homes that are for sale by owner or use direct mail campaigns to reach out to prospective sellers. Once they buy the home, there’s another race against time to complete the work and make a sale. Working with a trusted contractor and real estate attorney could expedite the project. Once a strong working relationship has developed, they may even want to invite others to join the team and contribute their work in exchange for a cut of the profits. The bottom line is flipping homes can be profitable, particularly for those who have professional real estate experience, but don’t expect it to be easy money. Months of hard work can go into a flip without any guarantee of success. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa’s financial education programs.

2016. The number of houses that changed owners statewide in March moved up by 4 percent over the month before and 6.9 percent over the same period last year. For condominiums and townhomes in the state, the median price last month was $430,620, 5.8 percent above the previous month and a 7.6 percent hike over the same month in 2016. Condo sales climbed 46.8 percent statewide in March over February, and were 6 percent higher than March last year. According to the CAR, a 12 percent drop in new listings from last year, combined with the increased sales, dropped the state’s unsold housing inventory to its lowest level this year, and the third-lowest level in more than three years. The CAR’s index of unsold inventory, which measures the number of months needed to sell the supply of homes on the market in California at the current sales rate, dropped to three months in March from four in February. The index stood at 3.6 months in March 2016. The median number of days it took to sell a single-family home in the state fell from 33.5 days in February to 26.7 days in March, and was down from 29.9 days in March 2016.
Special Of The Week Lot #17
Sanderson
RIVERSIDE – Riverside County’s real estate market kicked into high gear last month with increases in both prices and sales, the California Association of Realtors reported last week. The median price of a singlefamily home that changed hands in the Riverside region in March was $375,000, 2.1 percent more than the month before and 7.1 percent above the same month last year. The number of houses sold skyrocketed 47.3 percent compared to February and was 12.9 percent higher than March 2016, the CAR reported. The Riverside performance matched the statewide figures. “March’s solid sales performance was likely influenced by the specter of higher interest rates, which may have pushed buyers off the sidelines and (to) close escrow before rates moved higher,” CAR President Geoff McIntosh said. “The strong housing demand, coupled with a shortage of available homes for sale, is pushing prices higher as wouldbe buyers try to purchase before affordability gets worse.” The median price of a house in California last month was $517,020, 8 percent more than February and 6.8 percent above the level of March

SRCAR members donate over 10,000 canned goods to local pantries TEMECULA – At the close of the third annual Heart for Hunger canned food drive, members of Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors collected 10,393 cans from 30 real estate and affiliate offices to be donated to nine local food pantries. The number is up considerably from last year when approximately 6,000 canned goods were collected.
The winning offices were California Realty Experts in first place with the highest cans per agent ratio with 2,566 cans or 88.48 cans per agent; Realty One Group with the most cans collected with 2,802; California Realty Experts with the second-highest number of cans collected with 2,566 and Top Level Realty with the second highest cans per agent ratio with 538 cans or 44.83 per agent.
“Continuing the SRCAR Heart for Hunger canned food drive this year has been a great start to our year.” MaryAnn Sharp, the 2017 affiliate committee chair said, “Being able to involve so many local real estate offices, paired up with our terrific affiliate members is rewarding for all involved. The pantries were overwhelmed by the amount of food dropped off the week of March 1.”

In 2015, the SRCAR affiliate committee chose February as the “Heart for Hunger canned food drive” month. This year, the third annual Heart for Hunger canned food drive was a huge success. The local real estate offices stepped up by holding internal competitions to encourage their agents to participate in the food drive. Many realtors went out into neighborhoods asking for residents to donate to the cause. The enthusiasm and passion has been overwhelming, as is shown by the number of cans collected. A team of affiliates delivered over 10,000 non-perishable food items to nine local pantries including Project TOUCH, St. Martha’s, St. Catherine’s, Mission of Hope, Temecula Valley People Helping People, Menifee Valley Community Cupboard, Murrieta United Methodist Church, Murrieta Food Bank and Hemet Community Pantry. An award breakfast is planned by the SRCAR affiliate committee for the first place winning office, California Realty Experts. SRCAR welcomes the community to join their ongoing efforts to bring canned food items to Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors, 26529 Jefferson Avenue in Murrieta or 2355 E. Florida Avenue in Hemet. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
