Looking for something really different to do? Visit the Fifth Annual “Gourd Festival” hosted by San Diego County Gourd Artists and California Gourd Society groups in Southern California. Free admission and free parking will be available at the event, which will feature classes, gourd art, crafts exhibits, vendors, demonstrations, raw gourds for sale and much more. Gourd art involves creating works of art using hard-shell gourds as an art medium. Gourd surfaces may be carved, painted, sanded, burned, dyed, and polished. Gourd decoration, including pyrography, is an ancient tradition in Africa and Asia as well as among the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Gourd crafting and painting has

evolved from early hand carvings to the modern day use, by some, of electric wood burners and highspeed pen-shaped rotary tools that can be used to inscribe almost any design. A wide variety of gourd shapes and sizes yields an array of art pieces, including: ornaments, bowls, sculpture, vases, and wall art such as masks. No longer considered just a craft, gourd art is being elevated to the point where it has been featured in a number of galleries and magazines. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from Saturday, June 28 – Sunday, June 29 at the Bates Nut Farm located at 15954 Woods Valley Rd. in Valley Center, Calif.

Artists Spring Show Manzanita Ranch hosts Highlights 14 Local Artists L.A.-based radio show By Allison Renck The spring show for the Anza Valley Artists was held Saturday May 31 at the Anza Community Hall and all types of artistic talents were displayed from watercolors to gourd art and penciled art. Exhibiting were 14 local artists; each displayed their own unique style of art. Many of the crafted pieces were at sale at the event. Jill Roberts is the current President of the Anza Valley Artists (AVA). She explained that the local artist group hosts two shows a year, one in spring and the other in fall. Each of the two events has a guest artist and the spring show’s artist was Ricardo Breceda. Breceda is a world famous metal sculptor and his art focuses on horses, western and local themes, garden art and dinosaurs. His work can be seen along Highway 79 near Vail Lake just east of Temecula, where his studio is located. It can also be seen in the Anza Borrego Desert dotting the desert floor along the roadways. At each show the AVA also holds raffles of local artwork donated by the clubs artists; the funds raised

go to benefit the Anza Community Hall where the show is held. AVA President Jill Roberts had a display of her paintings at the art show of horses and outdoor scenes. Roberts is a mural artist who also teaches art and her classes have a unique flair. Her signature class is called “Art+Vino” and students of the class sip wine and learn to paint at the same time.

Many fall victim to heat during the hot summer months. Certain medical conditions as well as certain medicines can make a person more vulnerable, and so does age. Young children and the elderly find themselves at a greater risk than other groups when temperatures crest to the top of the thermometer. Thinking ahead and putting together a plan of action on how to stay cool is key to avoid heatrelated illness and death. A person may think they have all they need to keep cool but there’s always the chance an emergency could occur. A person’s evaporative cooler (swamp cooler) or air conditioning could break, or they might opt to leave the air conditioning off

Hard News San Jacinto family seeks public’s help in finding hit-and-run driver JP Raineri Multimedia Editor An early morning hit-and-run crash that took place around 12:45 a.m. on Sunday, June 22, in the Winchester area has a local family seeking the public’s help to catch the driver at fault. According to officials from the Beaumont office of the California Highway Patrol, Ashlee Andrea, 18, of San Jacinto, was driving home from a friend’s house and as she approached the area between Winchester Rd. and Sanderson Ave. in Hemet, a vehicle came at her head-on and struck her vehicle, causing it to rollover one and a half times, before fleeing the scene. Andrea says her quick reaction definitely saved her life. “I was driving in the left lane and from the distance the oncoming car was coming at, I didn’t really notice it come over the center divider. Once I knew the car was coming at me head on, I quickly moved into the right lane and then everything happened too fast. I know the oncoming car ended up clipping my driver’s side near the gas tank, which sent me rolling in the air. It was pretty terrifying. At that moment I was just praying I was going to be okay and all I could think about was my family,” recalled Andrea. Family members quickly posted the photos to Facebook in hopes of finding the hit-and-run driver. Officer Kincaid from the California Highway Patrol was the first to arrive on the scene and stated that the only description the family had

On Sunday, June 22, a hit-and-run driver left Ashlee Andrea’s vehicle turned over on the side of the road. Courtesy photo

from the statement Andrea gave was that the other car was black and will definitely have some serious front end damage. Andrea stated the car rolled over one and a half times before coming to rest upside down. “I was upside down and was having trouble with my seatbelt because it didn’t want to unlock, but as soon as it did, I fell onto my windshield. At that point I was trying to find a way out of the car because I smelled gas. The whole time I was screaming for help and had it not been for a family that came and helped me out of my car and called the police for me I don’t know what could have happened. To me that family is a bunch of angels,” she said. The car caught on fire while the

family was moving her to safety and it was at that point that first responders were able to put the fire out, said Officer Kincaid. According to family members that have been keeping in good contact with the public via social media outlets, Andrea has some bruising and a few cuts on her neck from possibly being suspended from her seat belt upside down, but she is resting safely at home. If you have any tips about the suspect vehicle or any other information about this crash, contact Officer Kincaid of the Beaumont division of the California Highway Patrol at (951) 769-2000.

Police make arrest in connection with Christmas-season murders that rocked San Diego, Riverside counties RIVERSIDE – San Diego police remained tight-lipped on June 22 about motives or other details surrounding the arrest of a suspect in three Christmas-season murders that rocked San Diego and Riverside County, where one of the bodies was found. Chief of Police Shelly Zimmerman will later discuss the arrest of Carlo Gallopa Mercado, 29. He was taken into custody at about 10:30 p.m. Friday, June 20 in the 8700 block of Westmore Road, a suburban street on Mira Mesa, on San Diego’s north side. Mercado was booked at 7:24 a.m. Saturday for three counts of first degree murder for the Christmas Eve killing of Ilona Flint and Salvatore Belvedere, both 22, as well as the killing of Salvatore’s brother and Flint’s fiance Gianni, 24, whose body was found in the trunk of a car in January in Riverside.

Police told survivors late Saturday the bare details of the arrest, and the family called a 5 p.m. news conference at a small Lakeside pizza parlor. “Upon hearing [about the arrest] our family was overcome with emotion and relief at the same time,” said Antoinette Belvedere, the sister of the murdered brothers. “Our families want to extend our deepest appreciation and thanks to the men and women of the San Diego Police Department.” “We don’t have any information yet about motive,” he said. “But there is a sense of relief that someone has been caught.” Mercado’s arrest was made nearly six months after the Christmas Eve shooting of Flint and Salvatore Belvedere outside of a Macy’s Department store in Mission Valley. About 1:15 a.m. Dec. 24, 2013, Flint made a 911 call to report of

having been shot at Westfield Mission Valley, which was open late for last-minute holiday shoppers. She died at the scene of the shooting, and her fiancé’s brother succumbed to his wounds at a hospital two days later. Gianni Belvedere, who hadn’t been seen by family members since the shooting, was reported missing Dec. 26. Police issued a missing persons bulletin describing his vehicle as a dark green Toyota Camry with Utah license plates. On Jan. 17 Gianni’s body was found outside of a fast-foot restaurant in Riverside inside the trunk of the Camry after witnesses reported smelling foul odors emanating from the vehicle. Authorities later determined his cause of death to be gunshot wounds to the head, the same cause of death that befell his younger brother and his fiancée.

Police search for gunman who fired three shots at someone RIVERSIDE – A gunman in a car pulled up to a Riverside address on June 21 and fired as many as three shots at someone, but missed. The gunfire was heard in the 2500 block of 9th Street at 11:42 a.m. The suspect fired between

two to three gunshots, the possible target ducked and no one was hit, Riverside police Lt. Frank Assumma said. Police radioed that two Latino suspects rode in a hatchback. The gunman is believed to have yelled

out a gang name. No one was arrested in connection with the shooting. It was unclear whether the person who ducked for cover was the intended victim but the shooting was under investigation, Assumma said.

Convicted felon who fatally beat man sentenced MURRIETA – An ex-con who beat a homeless man to death at a Lake Elsinore-area transient camp was sentenced on June 20 to 31 years to life in prison. Jason Lee Schmidt, 37, was convicted March 17 of second-degree murder with a sentence-enhancing weapon allegation in the 2012 slaying of 58-year-old Leopoldo Navarrete. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Michael Rushton imposed the sentence required by law, factoring in the defendant’s prior felony strikes. According to sheriff’s investigators, the defendant and Navarrete were loosely associated through encounters at a homeless camp known as the “Olive Groves,” off of Adelfa Street and Grand Avenue in

the community of Lakeland Village. Schmidt admitted fatally beating Navarrete with a rock, telling detectives that he flew into a rage when the victim disclosed that he’d molested a grandchild. Navarrete’s relatives vehemently denied that he ever had inappropriate contact with a juvenile family member. Deputy District Attorney Burke Strunsky wrote in a trial brief that Schmidt told a fellow cell mate that the killing was “spur of the moment” and regrettable. No one witnessed the June 14, 2012, attack, though several itinerants told authorities they encountered Schmidt in an agitated state that night, making self-incriminating statements, such as “first kill of the year.” Navarrete was reported missing

within a day of his disappearance. A month later, a man walking in the area of Akley and Gillette streets – about two blocks from the homeless encampment – stumbled upon Navarrete’s remains. Based on video surveillance tape from a store where Navarrete and Schmidt were seen around the same time, as well as statements from witnesses, investigators on Aug. 20, 2012, served an arrest warrant on Schmidt, who was staying at a group home in the 22000 block of Herbert Street in Good Hope. According to sheriff’s officials, the defendant took off running but was quickly apprehended. Schmidt has multiple prior felony convictions, including for drugdealing, burglary and attempted burglary.

Police arrest one motorist for drunken driving at Temecula checkpoint TEMECULA – A motorist was arrested for drunken driving and one vehicle was towed during an overnight sobriety/driver’s license checkpoint in Temecula, a police

sergeant said on June 22. Three drivers were arrested for driving without a driver’s license during the checkpoint at Rancho California Road that began at

9 p.m. Saturday and ended at 3 a.m., said Temecula police Sgt. Joe Greco. Greco said 983 vehicles passed through the checkpoint.

“This means so much,” said Steve Ignacio, a 20-year veteran of the US Air Force. Ignacio was the winner of a drawing sponsored by Document Security Solutions (DSS). DSS is veteran-owned, founder and owner Parish Morris is a 20-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. “Military Appreciation Day is in May,” said Morris, “and every year we try and do something special to give back.” The inspiration for this year’s special honor was a family RV trip that Morris took last summer to Big Bear. Despite initial hesitancy by every member of the family, the trip turned out to be “the experience of a lifetime,” said Morris. “It did a lot to bring the family together and they still talk about it to this day!” While brainstorming on options for this year’s honor, Morris’ office assistant, Ginny Aronson-Hoke, suggested an RV trip. Morris was excited and began shopping for deals that he intended to pay for. When Zach Zauss of Freedom RV in Murrieta heard of Morris’ plans, he jumped at the opportunity to participate.

“Just about all my family was in the military. If it’s staying in the community, I want to give back. I’ll just give it away! I’m blessed to be a part of this,” he said. DSS is paying for the gas for the trip. Morris, an affiliate member of the Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS® (SRCAR), invited local real estate offices to nominate a worthy veteran for the giveaway. Sixteen local offices participated: Allison James Estates & Homes, Ardent Real Estate Services, Biggs Real Estate Professionals, Century 21 Preferred, Century 21 Wright, Coast & Country Real Estate, Homestar Real Estate Services, Home Quest Properties, Golden Realty, Keller Williams, Rancon Temecula, Rancon Menifee, Realty One Group Southwest, Seaway Properties Real Estate Inc., Shaffer Realty and Mortgage, and Tarbell. The presentation was made at the SRCAR offices in Murrieta. Ignacio’s name was drawn from among the 29 veterans nominated by the 16 local realty offices. Ignacio was nominated by Jan Baron of Realty One Group Southwest who sold him his home in Murrieta last year. Her broker, Clark Van Deventer, is retired from the US Navy.

“Twenty years in the military, I spent a lot of time away,” said Ignacio. “My family went through a lot of sacrifices.” Ignacio also commented on the Pledge of Allegiance that opens each SRCAR weekly marketing meeting. “I haven’t heard this publicly in years and this is inspiring; I just wish our country would get back to basics!” Ignacio is married, has a son who is a graduate of CSU San Marcos and a daughter, Cassie, who just graduated from Great Oak High School two weeks ago. She will also be attending CSU San Marcos. They are planning to take their trip in late July/early August but have not decided on a specific destination yet. Yellowstone, Yosemite, Pacifica and maybe Tahoe are on the list of options. “Thanks so much to everyone who made this possible,” said Ignacio. “I thank God – this is really a blessing!” Document Security Solutions can be contacted at (951) 6726224. Freedom RV is located at 26240 Jackson Avenue, Murrieta; (951) 696-9000. Realty One Group Southwest is at 41463 Margarita Road, Suite 100 in Temecula, CA. (951) 216-2003.

Uemura wins six ribbons at SD county fair Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent Deborah Uemura won six ribbons for her preserved foods entries at the San Diego County Fair. The Menifee resident received two second-place ribbons, a thirdplace award, and three honorable mention ribbons. “I didn’t get the blue ribbons I’ve gotten before in the past, but I’m not going to complain,” Uemura said. Uemura earned second place in the conserve class, which was in the other soft spreads division, with her cranberry conserve. Her Mexican sangria jelly won second place in the wine class of the jellies division.

In the canned vegetables division her green beans won third place in the other than listed category. Uemura’s honorable mention ribbons were for her strawberry rhubarb pie filling in other than listed class of the miscellaneous division, her smoky roasted raspberry chipolte in the other than listed class of relishes and sauces, and her strawberry jalapeno jam in the mixed fruit, two or more class of the jams division. “I was actually surprised when I went down there,” Uemura said. The entry forms are submitted on-line in May, and the actual preserved food along with a recipe is submitted before the fair opens. The results of the judging are announced on the first day of the fair,

which this year was June 7. The judging results allowed Uemura to look for her awards when she attended the fair. “I’m like a kid in the candy store every year,” she said. Uemura has lived in Menifee for approximately 25 years and is originally from eastern Tennessee. She is the oldest of ten children and began making and canning preserved foods when she was ten years old. Uemura has been entering preserved foods in the San Diego County Fair since 2000. “I figured I’d start with that one,” she said. “I think the San Diego County Fair is best,” Uemura said. “It’s got everything.”

Two firsts, five total ribbons for Parsley family at SD Co. Fair Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent Murrieta’s Parsley family won five ribbons, including two firstplace awards, in the gems, minerals, and jewelry competition at the San Diego County Fair. Don Parsley won three awards, including two first-place prizes. His wife, Bonnie Parsley, took home two ribbons. “We just do it for fun, try to show the public what it is that lapidary people do,” Don Parsley said. The Parsley family moved from Colorado to Escondido in the early 1980s and began collecting gemstones approximately 20 years ago. They were originally involved

with the Palomar Gem and Mineral Club in Escondido, and after moving to Murrieta in 2003 they joined the Fallbrook Gem and Mineral Society. Because Don Parsley does not cut gemstones professionally, he was eligible for the category of one faceted stone for an amateur beginner. The faceted division requires all gemstones to be cut by the exhibitor, and Parsley has been faceting for approximately six years. He took first place for a faceted stone this year for the first time, earning the ribbon for a round cut 5.1-carat smoky quartz mined in Madagascar. He also took first place in three cabochons worldwide class; he displayed charoite

from Russia, rutilated quartz from Brazil, and a dinosaur bone from the Western United States. The fair also had a one cabochon worldwide class, and Parsley’s agate mined in Argentina resulted in a third-place ribbon. Bonnie Parsley won both of her ribbons in the wire wrap jewelry single piece class. Her sugilite pendant called “Royal Whispers” took second and her golden rutilated quartz work titled “Angel Hair” won third place. “It’s really a hobby,” she said. Bonnie Parsley has started to sell jewelry made with the gemstones the family has obtained. “We’ve kind of turned it into a little bit more than a hobby,” she said.

ARTISTS, page A-1 so helpful and positive. Pizula said that she comes out of the classes feeling she can really paint. Merrie Kraatz was displaying her pictures that she called “World of Whimsy.” Kraatz said that when she paints, she just follows her instincts and this leads to a process where artwork ultimately emerges. Her painting of “The Sleeping Dragon” is one of those whimsical pieces. At first glance, all that is visible in the painting is mountains. Eventually, with time, the painting begins to look like a dragon. Pictures of western life highlighted Rosie Grindle’s tables. Grindle paints on a variety of surfaces from gourds to old hand saws. Grindle said she likes getting together with other artists on a monthly-basis to have a network of support. She enjoys painting and also enjoys the company of other artists during the times she gets together with them, she said. While Grindle exhibited pieces that represented life in The West, her fellow artist Sue Smith showed off her pastels of flowers and beautiful scenes. Smith discussed how she becomes inspired to paint a picture. She mentioned one time when she was painting a garden scene outside when a hummingbird flew up to the flower she was painting. She decided to add the hummingbird to her painting after his visit to the flower. Smith said the AVA picks a theme for each art show and then creates an art piece to highlight that theme. This year’s theme is “Magnificent Anza.” The show seemed well-attended and the feeling within the community hall was quiet festive. The artwork displayed within the hall seemed to transform it into a beautiful garden of colors and

textures. The beige walls no longer stood out, as the artwork displays softened them. A Word from the AVA President Jill Roberts after the event: “We packed the house with 14 artist booths , including Ricardo’s. Members at the show included Jill Roberts, Angel Garcia, Rosalie Grindle, Mike Haeckel, Merrie Kraatz, Nancy Swanson, Patsy Kile, Rika Anctil, Rex Harrison, Sue Smith, Mateo Ster and Louann Spiegel-Gates, and Angela Simpson. We had a variety of media represented including watercolors, acrylic, oil, pen and ink, painted gourds and saws, 3D centerpieces, welded metal sculptures, welded metal horseshoe art, printed greeting cards, photography and more. We were thrilled to have Ricardo there with us. He enjoyed meeting all the artists in our group and wants to get more involved with local creative groups. We had record attendance with many visitors enjoying the art.

Comments were made by some visitors that it was the best art show they’ve seen in Anza ever. I had many local artists call to get in on the show last minute, so next time we will probably need to expand vendor space out into the parking lot.

We did really well with our silent auction, raffle and commissions. We raised $714 to donate to the Anza Community Hall. This is the largest fundraiser our group has ever had. Anza Valley Artists meetings are on the third Saturday of each month

and are held in different locations. At each meeting a potluck luncheon is served. The meeting is short and often there is a guest speaker. For more information on joining the club, please contact President Jill Roberts at 858-774-5855 (cell) or 951-763-2570.

Betty Mills the other side of the coin By Jodi Thomas Anza Resident, Evangelist Betty Joyce Hoskins Remembered She is known throughout the Christian world as the wife of Evangelist Dick Mills. Betty Mills was the other side of the coin of Dick throughout his ministry, which spanned over five decades. An evangelistic worldwide ministry is nomadic in nature, and Betty was the support that kept her family grounded. She was the glue that held life together both behind the scenes and in the public eye. When the Christian world lost Dick Mills – whom many would consider to be an era icon – in May 2012, it was very hard on his close-knit family and others who loved him. The large church in Hemet, Calif., where his memorial was held

was packed. In attendance were many dignitaries and well know ministers who shared just what Dick Mills meant to them. All the accolades that were given to him were also given to her, as she had quietly worked alongside him and made it possible for him to carry on ministering all those years. Betty’s son David Mills described his mother and the work she did alongside Dick, saying, “Betty’s life is a most honorinspiring account of a rare and beautiful kind of devotion to the Lord, to His calling, to her husband, to his ministry, to their children, and to the prayer ministry. It truly is one of the most amazing and beautiful stories, and yet it is known only to a few people. And that is partly because she was both content to take the less conspicuous position which did not draw attention to herself, and also

was required to do so many times because of the situations in life and the nature of public ministry. Evangelist Dick Mills, and indeed the whole Mills family, often remarked that without Betty’s help and devotion, hard work and support, he could never have accomplished the things he did worldwide in the five and a half decades of their marriage. What a wonderful woman of God she was over the 86 years of her life.” The Mills’ ministry carries on through their children and grandchildren. A monthly webcast message that Dick Mills started when he was no longer able to travel is a favorite of many. The webcast is being carried on through their son David Mills and their grandsons Judah Mills and Blake Booth, who are also pastors at a local Valley Gospel Chapel in Anza.

OPINION

The Constitution could still remove Obamacare By Harold Pease, Ph. D By now there exist few defenders of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, nicknamed “Obamacare,” which has shown itself to be neither affordable or capable of protecting the patient— especially from government managed plans. The “list of horribles” was mindboggling from the first day of the Affordable Care Act’s implementation on October 1, 2013, beginning with glitches for the first three months. Then there were implementation extensions until December 15 of 2013 then March 31 of 2014, respectively; these were to keep afloat what most Americans did not want. President Barack Obama extended exemptions to unions and to congressional staffs to limit opposition. The often repeated promises that a person could keep his doctor and insurance plan came to be seen as lies as 5.5 million, previously satisfied Americans, received notices of insurance cancelations because the private plans they had did not fit the new mandates. An avalanche of horror stories followed. One business manager of a distinguished medical group complained of the problem of just having a phone conversation with a government healthcare representative “If you get through at all it’s 30 to 60 minutes,” the business manager said “And then you have to get to the right person because

rules change daily and too many times you aren’t given good information.” Many of the government plans had no maximum out-of-pocket costs on out-of-network providers resulting in surprising infinite costs. Even if you thought that all assisting your surgery were paid under your plan, one or more might not be and you might get some unanticipated and shocking bills. If, in some cases, costs seemed to be held down it was because providers had agreed to lower fees in exchange for a higher volume of patients, which meant less service and physician time for individuals. By now most reasonable people are looking for a way out. The answer remains as always the Constitution and there exist several options. Of course, the people could wise up and throw out of office everyone who voted in favor of the Affordable Care Act. Since it seems that it was primarily Democrats who did so, this would change the composition of the U.S. Senate. Those remaining could rescind Obamacare. Obama would veto it but a veto override would be easy. However, this is not likely as the party is not willing yet to call Obamacare a mistake, naively believing that somehow it will get better. The states too could end the federal government’s takeover of a sixth of the economy by implementing the doctrine of nullification used in our history three times before. Actually, it was successfully

used recently in the Sheriffs’ Rebellion of 2013 when 336 elected county sheriffs signed pledges that they would not enforce any unconstitutional gun control laws or executive orders. Also nine states refused to comply. The federal government backed down. Nullifying Obamacare has several sympathetic states including: Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. The Supreme Court also will get chances to rule the defective law unconstitutional. Yes, in a 5 to 4 majority it ruled Obamacare a tax, which, as such, is now very problematic and guarantees a return of the issue to them. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act did not originate in the House of Representatives as required in Article I, Section 7, Clause 1, which states: “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.’’ It originated in the Senate. After the Supreme Court ruling, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed gutted the language in a previous House bill, but with an earlier date, and deceptively replaced it with the

language of the Senate bill to look like it had originated in the House, but it did not. The Court ruling on Hobby Lobby, argued in mid-March, is due any time. The question directly before the justices is whether for-profit corporations must provide insurance coverage for contraception, mandated by Obamacare. Hobby Lobby, a chain of crafts stores, challenged the requirement, saying it conflicts with the company’s religious principles. If the contraception challenge succeeds, it strikes down only a small part of Obamacare. However, several little challenges over time could weaken the law to oblivion. A strict interpretation of the Constitution would give an easy victory for Hobby Lobby as there exists no role for the federal government in Article I, Section 8 for contraception, insurance, or health legislation, nor in any amendment processed thereafter. Moreover, tax revenues were designed to be spent only for constitutional purposes— not for any purposes. A potential constitutional challenge is found in the list of limitations on the Congress with respect to making law found in Article I,

Section 9, “No Capitation, or other direct Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.” Only the federal income tax (Amendment 16) is exempted from the proportional enumeration requirement. If the federal mandate is a tax, and not a fee, as stated by the Supreme Court, it is unconstitutional because Congress did not apportion that tax among the states according to population. Yes, National Healthcare has shown itself to be an albatross around our necks but the Constitution can still protect us from our own ignorance if we will elect only those who will be guided by it and that would exclude many presently holding office.

The Anza Valley Attraction Mike Davies by Todd Kelsey Hey neighbors. Now let’s be honest. Many is the driver that has sped along Anza Valley’s Highway 371, intent on going from one congestion of human busyness to another who likely wondered the following as they zipped through our local areas: “Aguanga – say what?” “Anza – 45 mph? Really?” “Terwilliger – there’s something out there?” “Garner Valley – Pretty! Where do these people work?” Well, here begins a regular reminder from those of us who one day were passing through, and another day we were moving here to stay; those of us who understand the “Anza Valley Attraction.” Our first contented neighbor we’ll visit, and one of the friendliest, is Mike Davies. Many may know him only as Mr. Davies, as he has been a teacher and sometimes coach in Anza for over 20 years. He recently earned his third Hemet District “Teacher-Of-The-Year” award. In 1988, while working as a property manager in Riverside and as a youth pastor at a church in Norwalk, an Anza church asked him to be their youth pastor. They asked him to come up and take a look around. He and his family did just that, and as Mike states, “My wife and I just fell in love with it!” Within a year, he and his wife and their two elementary schoolaged kids moved to Anza. Upon asking Mike what he likes best about living in Anza Valley, his 62-year-old eyes shine like a new dime and a smile quickly spreads. Although, Mike usually wears a smile most of the time! Right away he mentioned the sunsets between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. He said he and his wife “pinch each other” in being able to observe nature’s daily beauty. He also said he was attracted

to certain things common to rural areas: less noise, less traffic (on the roads and in the stores), lots of space, and fresh air. He also mentioned small community life, and the good things that occur when people know and subsequently care about one another. He said his wife teases him when it takes him so long to get something in town and she’ll ask, “Alright, who’d you talk to?” He spoke of the churches, the Chamber of Commerce, and how the Soroptimist and Lions Clubs have also helped those in need, including local kids who needed glasses and dental work. Mike also gave a couple of specific examples of community and knowing one another. First was when his wife was in a car accident a few years back, and passersby stopped, knew her, and helped. He said it’s calming to see friendly faces you know, especially in an emergency. Word was quickly passed on to him at school via the community network as well. His other example was also about community, but about character as well. Mike related that over the years he would often give walking kids a ride to school. The kids and their parents all knew him and trusted him. He’s been one of the few teachers who does home visits in the beginning of the school year to help build a rapport between his students and the adults important in their lives. In recent times though, he said he has noticed an increase in population. There have been changes here and more faces he doesn’t recognize. One morning he stopped to give a girl a ride to school and realized he didn’t know her and that she didn’t know him. Respecting her uneasiness, he told her she was right to refuse the ride. In speaking of changes, Mike mentioned the usual: home prices rising and lowering, family dynamics changing (including grandparents raising their grandkids), and seeing more foster kids in school.

He laments the loss of the AgriEmpire, but said he recognizes local employment opportunities with Bornt, Anza Electric Co-op, Dairy Queen, AV Hardware, and others, especially for local kids. Looking to the future, Mike would love to see a community pool, a gym, a skate park, and more sports league options for Anza Valley youths. Also, a chain market would be welcome for grocery convenience with its selection and affordable prices, he said. Last, I asked what he would like his Anza Valley neighbors to know about his place of work, Hamilton K-8 Elementary and Middle School. Mike said he enjoys getting to know each kid and loves being a teacher. In fact, he’s taught quite a few kids of former students in his 25 years! He says current principal Carol Robilotta (recipient of the recent Hemet District Principal-OfThe-Year award), has influenced a positive attitude and team feeling at the school that includes all levels of staff and volunteers. He’s excited that the standard test scores continue to go up. He also likes the programs that have middle and high school kids helping younger students, paying it forward and building camaraderie. However, he does want to remind parents and family members that a school can only do so much without their support and involvement. Mike says he can tell which kids get that support from home because they are the ones who are more successful in school. So, in regard to those who may wonder as they pass through, “Why Anza Valley? What’s the attraction?” Mike would say a caring community, and splendid scenery… Take care neighbors! Todd Kelsey is a new AVO guest columnist who by interviewing local citizens; explores the question what is your attraction to the Anza Valley and why did you move here?

Temecula’s pilot special needs Visual Arts Program drawing praise Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News The City of Temecula’s pilot Visual Arts Program for special needs adults is drawing praise from participants and their families. “I think it’s absolutely fantastic,” said Marlene Wilcox, whose daughter Samantha Wilcox, 28, was one of 19 students in the unique program. “My daughter has grown in so many ways.” The Wilcoxes and about 50 other people attended a “Meet the Artist” evening reception for students on June 13 at the Merc Gallery in Temecula. The students celebrated completing the 18-week program with family and friends and publicly showcased their artwork. Temecula Council Member Mike Naggar wasn’t at the reception but later released a statement saying that he’s proud the city offers programs that give young people creative outlets and opportunities to express themselves and build confidence.

“These types of programs are integral to self-expression and particularly valuable to youth with special needs,” Naggar stated. The city’s Inclusion Services Specialist Yvette Martinez explained that the program was offered because art is not only fun, but therapeutic. It benefited special needs adults by promoting inclusion, fostering socialization, encouraging friendships and building confidence. She added that it was so successful that the city wants to offer it again but hasn’t determined dates yet. Riverside resident MarkAllen Gonzales, 35, instructed the program. He has a degree in visual arts and previously worked as an assistant art director at Cal Baptist University and academic advisor at Riverside Community College. He also received inclusion training from the city to teach the program and has a 5-year-old son with special needs. Gonzales said students’ projects

included drawing, acrylic painting, paper mache, and photography. The program was held at the Mary Phillips Senior Center on Thursday afternoons from January 16 to May 15. It cost students $20 and covered all supplies. “I really was amazed with the skills and creativity that some of the students have,” Gonzales said. “I also learned that teaching art had a greater impact on their lives than I realized it would and feel honored to be a part of the process and their lives.” Marlene Wilcox lauded Gonzales. “He genuinely cares about the students and helps them reach their potential,” she commented. “I like my teacher. He’s a good teacher,” said Candice Ahonen, 33, of Temecula. During the reception she happily showed her artwork displayed on a gallery wall. “It’s a collage,” she said. It’s about what I like.” The collage depicts flowers, singer Taylor Swift, and her favorite color purple. Ahonen wants to continue taking art lessons. Steven Martinez, 23, of Corona was another student in the program. He attends Riverside Community College as a fine arts major and enjoyed the class. He said he got to “meet new people, have fun and help others” while creating art. Steven Martinez also participates in the Global Citizens Viticulture/ Hospitality Vocational Program, which the city has recently extended for the next fiscal year. Its goal is to prepare special needs adults with skills to work in wineries or the hospitality industry. It successfully completed its first spring quarter and will resume in the fall. In the interim, the city is offering viticulture/hospitality students computer and job preparedness training in July. The program is a partnership with Spero Vineyards, which is owned by Mark Woods-

Pet salon that utilizes holistic methods opens to the public Alex Groves Staff Writer

The Temecula Pet Salon opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, June 18 and owner Stephanie Wilson stood outside ready to greet people bringing their pets in for a scrub and cut. The salon aims to stand out against its competition by employing a staff of dedicated and highly skilled individuals while also utilizing methods proven to sooth and relax anxious dogs – all without the matching price tag of a high-end dog groomer, according to Wilson. Wilson, who has owned a pet salon in Dana Point, California, said she was motivated to start a dog grooming salon in Temecula because of her love for animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian at a point in her life but had difficulty dealing with the prospect of

euthanizing animals as well as some of the other trauma associated with being a vet. So she said she did the next best thing, which was to open a dog salon where she could give animals care and individualized attention while making them clean and comfortable. She set up the salon with that purpose in mind, giving cage-shy dogs a pen area where they can roam freely and associate with one another. She said she did this to lower incidences of biting, as some dogs tend to get hostile when put in cages. The pet salon owner added that minor adjustments such as the pen are common throughout the salon, as the treatment of stressed out dogs and dogs with conditions are areas she specializes in. “I handle the biters, the guide dogs, the dogs that have seizures or medical conditions,” she said.

easy entry. Additionally, Wilson said some of the washing techniques utilized at the salon are perfect for older and arthritic dogs. Jet propulsion and warm water of a bath is perfect for soothing aching muscles and bones which often plague older canines. She added that the hydro-surge massage system inside the baths leaves dogs cleaner than they might otherwise be with traditional forms of washing. She said the jets of water separate a dog’s hair follicles, allowing shampoo to penetrate their skin and leave them with a deep, all-over

kind of clean. Wilson said she is glad to be joined by a staff of talented dog groomers, one of whom is Carol Rosier. Rosier is best known for her work as a dog groomer at the Laundered Mutt in Temecula. The dog salon owner said she’s excited for the future and excited for the prospect of growth. “I want this to be Temecula’s premier grooming shop,” she said. “I want this to be the place where people love bringing their pets to.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Best breeds for first-time dog owners INLAND EMPIRE – Deciding to get a dog can be a life-altering moment. While the decision carries with it a wealth of responsibility, a dog can change a person’s life for the better, providing loyalty and companionship for years to come. Once the decision to get a dog has been made, prospective pet owners must choose a breed. Various factors play into this decision, including how much space the dog will have at home, the grooming responsibilities that come with a particular breed and the typical demeanor of a given breed. Because no two breeds or owners are the same, some dogowner combinations may make for a better pairing than others. Descriptions of breed temperament can provide a window into the general personality of certain dogs. But such descriptions are not set in stone, as each dog is unique and may exhibit behaviors extraordinary to its breed. Factors such as socialization and training play key roles in how dogs will react in situations, and the following are some dog breeds that have a propensity to be easy-going and relatively easy to train. Golden retriever: Golden retrievers tend to be gregarious, docile

and a good fit for families. They are people-oriented, affectionate and loyal. Golden retrievers are moderately-sized dogs that need exercise to prevent boredom (which can compel them to cause damage around the home). But golden retrievers are generally a good fit for first-time dog owners. Labrador retriever: A close cousin to the golden retriever, Labradors are another breed known for their good nature and willingness to be trained. Labs shed and can grow large, so that is something apartment-dwellers must consider before bringing home a lab. Standard poodle: Poodles are an intelligent breed that are easily trained. Poodles can be high strung if not given ample exercise, so this is something prospective poodle owners need to consider. Cavalier King Charles spaniel: This is a well-proportioned and smaller dog that is typically affectionate, happy and outgoing. Typically eager to please and intelligent enough for obedience training, the cavalier is naturally well-behaved and can get along well with other pets. Boston terrier: The Boston

Boston terriers tend to be playful and friendly with a willingness to learn.

terrier, also known as the “Boston Bull,” is a compact brute of a dog. Although small in size, the Boston terrier does not lack for personality and tends to be playful and friendly with a willingness to learn. Bostons do require a firm human leader; otherwise, they may believe they run the show. These breeds are offered as examples of good breeds for first-time dog owners. However, there are plenty of other breeds out there that would make ideal pets, even for the novice dog owner. Socialization, training and exercise are essential to shaping a dog into a trusted and happy member of the family.

She said she uses holistic approaches to treat the dogs that are not necessarily common at other pet grooming locations. She uses certain products like lavender, chamomile, sage and tea tree oil with baths because they not only sooth and comfort the dogs, but also leave them smelling great. Wilson added that no dog is too young or too old to receive a luxury treatment at her salon and that’s something that is perhaps evidenced by salon’s tubs, which are walk-in; the dogs don’t have to clamber or climb to get inside them because they have a door that unlatches for

Local City managers discuss developments, growth at annual event Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS® (SRCAR) held its fourth annual City Managers’ Breakfast on Thursday, June 19 in Murrieta. Kimberly Parker, SRCAR’s 2014 Legislative Chairperson, welcomed Grant Yates (Lake Elsinore), Gary Nordquist (Wildomar), Rick Dudley (Murrieta), and Aaron Adams (Temecula) to address an assemblage of local REALTORS® and other interested parties. Moderator Gene Wunderlich, SRCAR’s Government Affairs Director, noted that this year all guests are repeat speakers as opposed to last year when four out of five were new in their positions. Despite the lack of redevelopment agency funds and vehicle license fees taken by the state, every city is in recovery mode from the recession. They are moving forward with infrastructure improvements, revitalization projects, park openings and job attraction. Public safety and education are among the best in the nation. New home development and commercial development plans are also going strong. Attracting hotels was a common theme as the Transit Occupancy Tax nets cities a larger percentage than other sources (ten percent versus 1-2 percent for sales tax and 6-7 percent for property taxes). Murrieta and Temecula have turned their former City Hall buildings into business incubators to spur local business and job growth. Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley reported that Murrieta was ranked the second safest city in the nation (eighth for cities over 100,000 population) based on all eight categories (four for property and four for crimes against persons) of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting annual ranking. Murrieta has ranked in the top ten the last five years. The city now has paramedics on every fire engine and a response time of five to six minutes. Murrieta schools are among the top five in Riverside County; all three high schools rank in the top ten per cent in the nation. The Murrieta Valley Unified School District has a 94.5 percent graduation rate. In 2012, Murrieta Valley High School won the World Robotic Competition. Murrieta Mesa High School is the only one in the county to teach Mandarin. A team of seven fourth and fifth graders from Cole Canyon Elementary travelled to Iowa State University May 27 to 30 and won this year’s World Finals Tournament in the Odyssey of the Mind international competition. The competition included thousand of teams from throughout the United States and 25 other countries. Parks and events contribute greatly to Murrieta’s quality of life. The city has 50 parks, three sport parks, an equestrian center and an extensive trail system. The city sponsors a large number of events; there are also a number of citizen-sponsored activities. The city is fiscally sound – despite losing 25 percent of its employees and revenues – and sales tax revenues are at pre-recession levels. The city’s primary effort is economic development to build a strong local economy to weather the next recession. The focus of this effort is primarily job creation, especially in the North Murrieta Technology Corridor and the South Murrieta Business Park. There are also efforts underway to attract additional retail/restaurant developments as well as hotels. The Triangle project’s revised plan (at the intersection of I-15 and Hwy 215) was approved: reduced retail to 640,000 square feet, 1.7 million square feet of office. There are plans for mixed-use commercial buildings in historic downtown. Residential housing plans include: The Vineyard, 1000 units a school and park on the west side; Hubter’s Ridge, 115 units; SunCal , 500 units; and 500 other single family residences. Apartments are also planned near Vista Murrieta high School and near Murrieta Hot Springs and Via Princesa. Dudley noted later in the Q & A period that Murrieta has been discouraging the use of Community Facility District special assessments (CFD’s) by developers. Murrieta is also not considering the annexation of Winchester; an incorporation study is under way for that area. Murrieta was named the fourth

“Best City for Young Families in California” by Nerdwallet. Dudley also cited an electronic newsletter as saying “Murrieta is one of the best places for military families to move to.” Lake Elsinore City Manager Grant Yates has lived in the area since 1991; he has been city manager for 1-1/2 years and is still amazed by the beauty of the area. Lake Elsinore – 43 square miles – is regarded as the fastestgrowing city in the state. The city is only 30 percent built out with 1200 acres of undeveloped freeway frontage. During the recession they were averaging 235 new homes per year; since 2011, they have been averaging over 700 per year. There is new development throughout all areas of the city: Canyon Hills, Pardee, Summerly. The outlet mall is undergoing a $5 million renovation to “create a sense of place.” The city is considering two new hotel applications. Lake Elsinore has a $26 million Capital Improvement Plan. This includes infrastructure projects: drainage and facilities; parks; alignment studies. The I-15/Railroad Canyon Ultimate Interchange consists of five intersections within a half-mile that the Federal Highway Department called “one of the most complicated west of the Mississippi.” It is considered a perfect candidate for a European-styled nexus that Yates says “will look like Autopia in Disneyland.” This 2.2 million dollar project looks more feasible compared to the $70-80 million dollar alternatives. Other projects include a deceleration lane at Railroad Avenue, the I-15/Central Avenue interchange, the Main Street Interchange, revitalizing downtown and historic Main Street, the east Lake Plan, lake conservation, a Walmart supercenter on Central Avenue, the Diamond project (to create a destination with hotels, dining, retail). “Our motto is ‘Dream Extreme’,” said Yates, “We’re living the dream!” Wildomar City Manager Gary Nordquist’s remarks began with “We’re open!” signifying their survival through the recession as the newest city (six years) in the area. Wildomar’s population is 33,716 within a 24 square mile area with 30% under age 18. The city is only 62 percent built out. City staff is nine employees with many services contracted out (Sheriff’s Department, CalFire, PV Maintenance). At buildout, Nordquist expects Wildomar to have a population of 53,000; 6000 new homes; 500 acres of commercial development; 260 acres of business parks and industrial. He believes this is fiscally sustainable; the challenge is to get to that future. The city is projecting $1.4 million in sales tax revenue, and $3.2 million in property tax revenues. They lost $2.8 million in vehicle license fees to the state, but the passage of SB69 should restore about $1.9 million to the city coffers. On April 12, Wildomar opened its city parks after three years of being closed; over 450 community members had joined in to plant 5000 plants/trees and the city hydroseeded the fields. Residential developments include Lennar at Andalusia; Palomar is under construction; CV communities has a project. There is a 312-unit apartment project at Oak Springs Ranch. Oak Creek at Bundy Canyon is planning 270 units. Shea Homes is planning 1290 single-family residences in a gated community. Commercial projects include: Bundy Canyon Plaza, Rancon Medical Offices, Baxter Village, Wildomar Square, Westpark Promenade (322 condominiums, a four-story office building, two restaurants on a 27-acre site).

Walmart Supercenter is planned at south of Bundy Canyon and east of I-15. A satellite San Jacinto Community College campus is under discussion for 88 acres of county land on Clinton Keith between the I-15 and Hwy 215. A notable achievement was the opening of the Clinton Keith/I-15 overpass. Temecula City Manager Aaron Adams noted that this is the City of Temecula’s 25th Anniversary. A balanced operating budget has just been approved and projects $62 million in revenues; 43 percent of the expenditure side is allocated to public safety, which remains a top priority. Temecula remains on the FBI’s list of safest communities in the nation. Business license applications have shown a positive trend in the last five years. Unemployment is down to 5.6 percent compared to the County of Riverside at 8.3 percent and the State of California at 7.3 percent. There were 1000 new jobs created in the last year in Temecula; Temecula Valley Hospital accounted for 450 of those new jobs with an annual payroll of $40 million. Sales tax trends are also trending positive; the forecast is for continued incremental increases. The new Mercedes Benz dealership will also have a positive impact; they sold 94 cars in their first month of business. There are over 100,000 square feet of new mixed-use construction in Old Town that provide office, retail, and restaurants; this includes the new Class A office space in the Truax Building. Projected residential construction includes 1500 units in the proposed 270-acre Altair project on the west hills of town which necessitates the construction of the western bypass; 250 condominiums in the Wolf Creek/Deer Hollow area; and 1,377 units on nine other sites. There is a possibility of a Comfort Inn Suites in Old Town. Toyota of Temecula is also being expanded. Some infrastructure projects were recently completed: Butterfield Stage Road is now connected to Murrieta, the Main Street Bridge is open, Phase I of the French Valley Parkway is open. Phase 2 – the I-15 overpass --is becoming a higher priority, but is only one-third funded. The city is working with CalTrans on the project. Temecula has just broken ground on a new “Special Needs” park for children. An expansion for Pennypickle’s workshop and upgrades to Sam Hicks Park are also in the plans. The city tries hard to maintain the sense of community and the small town feel; there are over 110 special events each year. The Temecula tourism industry remains strong at an estimated $625 million annually.

planning are needed for the preservation and replacement of city assets.” Moderator Wunderlich noted that 65 percent of local residents commute 30 minutes or more to a job and that it was important to address local job growth for both quality of life and local economies. The potential for the area is great; “in 2001 to 2006, the area was considered the fastest-appreciating community in the nation.”

The development of the Jefferson Corridor to attract and create jobs is a top planning priority. Adams later responded in the Q & A session that Temecula is not considering the annexation of Morgan Hill or French Valley. “It didn’t pencil out,” said Adams, “There wasn’t sufficient tax base to support the services.” “Temecula is transitioning from a growth city to ‘maintenance mode’,” said Adams, “much thought and long-term strategic

What to do if you inherit someone’s 401(k) Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News Talk about good news wrapped in bad: In the midst of grieving the loss of a loved one, you learn that you were named beneficiary of their 401(k) plan. Chances are you’ve got too much on your mind to make any sudden decisions about what to do with the money. However, don’t procrastinate too long. The IRS has ironclad rules, deadlines and penalties concerning inherited retirement accounts, which vary depending on what type of account it is. Under federal law, surviving spouses automatically inherit their spouse’s 401(k) plan unless someone else was named beneficiary and the surviving spouse signed a written waiver. If someone is single at death, their plan’s assets go to their designated beneficiary. The IRS has basic tax and distribution rules and timetables for inherited 401(k) plans. However, the plans themselves are allowed to set more restrictive guidelines if they choose, so read the plan documents carefully. You must pay income tax on distributions (except for Roth accounts, which have already been taxed), although you may be able to spread out withdrawals and tax payments over a number of years,

depending on how you structure it. Many 401(k) plans require beneficiaries to withdraw the money in either a lump sum or separate payments extending no longer than five years after the person’s death; however, some will allow you to keep the money in the plan indefinitely, so check their rules. Note that distributions will be added to your taxable income for the year, which can greatly increase your tax bite. Thus, many people prefer to spread the payments out as long as possible. Plus, the longer funds remain in the account, the longer they accrue earnings, tax-free. If the original account holder had already reached the mandatory withdrawal age of 70 ½, you may be allowed to continue withdrawing funds according to his or her withdrawal schedule. Your minimum annual withdrawal amount is based on your own life expectancy, according to IRS tables (see Appendix C in IRS Publication 590 at www.irs.gov). Alternatively, you could speed up the payment schedule or take a lump sum. You may also be able to transfer your balance into an “inherited IRA,” which must be named and maintained separately from your other IRAs. With an inherited IRA, you must withdraw a certain

amount each year, based on your life expectancy. Distributions must begin the year following the donor’s death, regardless of whether or not you’re retired. Make sure the 401(k) trustee transfers funds directly to the inherited IRA’s trustee so you never touch the money; otherwise the transfer may be voided and you’ll have to pay taxes on the entire sum that year. Surviving spouses have an addi-

tional option. Instead of opening an inherited IRA, they’re also allowed to do a “spousal rollover,” which means rolling over the balance into an existing or new IRA in their own name. The key advantage of a spousal rollover is that you don’t have to begin taking mandatory withdrawals until you reach 70 ½, unlike inherited IRAs where you must begin withdrawals the year after the donor’s death. One last point: Always withdraw

at least the required minimum distribution (RMD) amount each year, if one is specified. If not, you’ll pay a penalty equal to 50 percent of the difference between the RMD and what you actually withdrew. Talk to a financial or legal expert before taking any action on your inheritance.

How to usher your office into the eco-friendly era INLAND EMPIRE – Technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, with once groundbreaking ideas and devices becoming obsolete in what seems like the blink of an eye. Despite such advancements, many professional environments are still consuming far more energy than is necessary, proving that there is still progress to be made with regard to how we use technology and protect the planet. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 30 percent of energy consumed by office buildings is used inefficiently, while the Energy Star program notes that 17 percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from commercial buildings’ energy use. That leaves ample opportunity for those who

want to usher their offices into the eco-friendly era to make changes that will conserve energy. Consider new lighting Energy Star notes that lighting is typically the most costly portion of many companies’ monthly electric bills, and that’s often because lighting is so often used in an inefficient manner. But flipping switches at the end of each day is not the only way business owners or office managers can cut their lighting costs. Many companies prefer to have lights on overnight for security purposes, but motion detection lighting systems are more eco-friendly and can pay for themselves over the long haul by reducing energy costs. Such systems will only turn

on when movement is detected in the building. This saves owners the cost of illuminating empty offices overnight but still enables them to protect buildings with lights in the case of break-ins. Encourage workers to put their computers to sleep when they are away from their desks Screen savers might be aesthetically appealing, but that beauty comes at a steep price, as screen savers use the same amount of energy while you’re away as the computer does while you are hard at work. The United States Department of Energy suggests that companies hoping to make their office environments more eco-friendly should encourage workers to put their computers to sleep when they will be away from their desks for 20 minutes or more. When the workday is done, workers can turn their computers off completely to save even more energy. Reduce paper consumption Hard copy documents are increasingly going the way of the dinosaur, and that’s a good thing for businesses who want to be more eco-friendly. In lieu of storing hard copy documents in filing cabinets or other antiquated storing systems, companies can encourage employees to store files digitally in easily accessible folders on their computers or on company servers. Internal memos need not be

printed out and distributed as hard copies when it’s just as easy and far less taxing on the environment to share such memos via email. Reducing reliance on hard copy documents can drastically reduce paper consumption and free up space around the office. Plug leaks Much like homeowners can save substantial amounts of money by plugging leaks around windows and doorways, businesses also can cut energy costs by identifying and plugging leaks. In fact, the DOE

estimates that taking care of air leaks can save businesses as much as 10 percent off their energy costs. Make sure air ducts and filters are routinely cleaned to ensure heating and cooling systems are operating at optimal efficiency. Many business owners and office managers have been slow to embrace various eco-friendly strategies that can benefit the planet and their bottom lines. But as technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, the opportunities for businesses to become more ecofriendly continue to evolve as well.

Pitstop Pub offers up fun and unique menu items

Bacon Cheeseburger.

Alex Groves Staff Writer

runchy, spicy, salty and sweet are just some of the terms that describe the versatile menu at Pitstop Pub Sports Bar and Grill in Menifee. The bar and grill offers a menu that’s chocked full of different options for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a wide-selection of beverage choices. Diners will find classics like a build-your-own pizza with a plethora of ingredients that includes pepperoni, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, green peppers and pineapple among others. The menu also offers dishes that appeal to carnivores with multiple burger options and wings in a number of different hot sauces. But for those looking for something on the wild side there are a number of different options like a breakfast pizza complete with scrambled eggs, bacon, red onion, green pepper, sausage gravy and a healthy serving of cheddar cheese to boot.

reportedly enjoy as spice eaters. Jessie “Tato” Tate, one of the chefs at Pitstop, said that the menu is so versatile because the Sports Bar is always receiving new food options from their supplier. He said he’s always trying those new options to craft menu items that are playful and unique but that people will also enjoy. “We have our own style and we like to do our own thing,” Tato said. “We have burgers but they’re not like anyone else’s burgers; we order custom buns and barbeque sauce and we like to add our own spin to things.”

sauce from scratch, too. One menu item introduced by Tato are the Brownie Bites, a number of fudge brownies placed around a healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle on top. The brownies, however, have a twist. They’re not quite solid in the inside but rather are reminiscent of something similar to a lava cake. The molten, warm filling of the brownies contrasts itself with the smooth and creamy finish of the cold ice cream. But what pub would be complete without a wide selection of beverages?

Pitstop has 26 different beers on tap and that selection varies between domestic beers like Miller Lite, Coors and Pabst Blue Ribbon and craft brewery options like Hangar 24 and Fat Tire. Sandi Geer, owner of the Pitstop, said it has more to offer than its selection of food and drink. She said the sports bar frequently becomes a venue for bands that come in to rock out such as Safety Orange, a band that specializes in a kind of reggae surf-rock. They usually come in as one of the bands that perform on Fridays from 9 p.m. until midnight. From 8 p.m. until midnight on Sunday nights, a number of disparate musicians come together for more of a free-form session. It’s called the “Open Band Jam,” and it’s one of Geer’s favorite events. “We get an amazing amount of wonderful talent,” Geer said. “People come in and jam with other people. We’ll get a guitar player, we’ll get a drummer and we’ll get a singer and they all collaborate and (come up with songs they want to play).”

Pizzas can be made to order. BBQ chicken is shown above.

Geer said she’s been opening the pub just a few hours earlier at 9 a.m. to accommodate World Cup fans who want to see their team dominate and that her pub is a prime location for watching the game with the 22 televisions they have. Geer said she tries to accommodate a myriad of sports fans, adding that Pitstop has the MLB channel so people can see any of the major league baseball games taking place. It also has NFL Ticket for the

upcoming football season. The pub owner encouraged possible customers to check out Pitstop’s event calendar on their website for more information about their upcoming events and attractions.

Murrieta Library’s teen summer program raises reading levels and funds for animals Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News

The Murrieta Library is currently offering Read for a Reason, a novel summer program for teens to improve their reading skills while they earn funds for Animal Friends of the Valleys. This is the second summer that the six-week program is being offered. Last year over 150 teens participated and raised $1,000 for AFV, according to Teen Services Librarian Joyce Lea Brown. The program started on June 16. Brown said that teens can read any book over 100 pages at their level or adult fiction or non-fiction. They earn one cent for each page they read so if they read a 300-page-book, they can earn $3 for AFV. This year’s goal is $1,200. When teens finish a book they have to fill out a reading card. If they wish, they can write short comments or a review about the book on the card before turning it in at the library’s Adult Information Desk. The reading cards will be entered in drawings for prizes such as books, CDs and store and restaurant gift certificates. The drawings and a finale party will be held at

the library on July 24 at 2 p.m. All reading cards have to be turned in by July 19. “We had several teens in the library on the first day of the program and I asked them if they wanted to participate in the program,” Brown commented. “They said yes and were enthusiastic about it.” Brown ran an altruistic teen reading program for two years at the Oceanside Public Library before coming to the Murrieta Library in 2007. “This is something I’ve wanted to do since I got here,” she said. “The main thing I like about this altruistic program is that the kids are giving back to their community while earning rewards and points for the summer reading program. They’re just not reading for themselves to get prizes.” Money raised by the program will help AFV provide emergency medical services and food for rescued animals. Brown said that difficulty finding a corporate sponsor prevented the library from offering the program before 2013. At a spring 2013 Friends of the Murrieta Library (Friends) meeting, Brown addressed the group and

said she wanted to add an altruistic element to the teen summer reading program. “I asked the Friends group if they knew of possible sponsors,” she said. Though the Friends thought it was a great idea, they had difficulty helping Brown find a sponsor. Friends’ treasurer Carol Carson wanted to see the program happen so she generously offered to fund it up to $1,000. “When we had a sponsor, I contacted AFV and asked if they’d like teen readers to read for a reason and provide funds for AFV,” Brown said. “They were happy to receive the funding and it went forward.” Last summer teens in the program read over $950 worth of pages and one teen did $95 worth of reading. The teens were so close to the goal that Carson went ahead and donated the $1,000. This year ’s sponsor is Laurie Blanscet, a Murrieta family medicine doctor and an acquaintance of Brown. Brown asked her to sponsor the program and she didn’t hesitate to say yes. She loves animals and is donating up to $1,200. Brown, a Murrieta resident and

animal lover too, wants teen readers in the program to meet the goal. “I’m hoping for more this year,” she said. “I’d really like for more teens to be reading with us this summer.”

The Movie Review: “Jersey Boys” Robert T. Nickerson Special to the Valley News I’ll tell you a high school story from only a few years ago (okay, more like eight, but why count?). In an American history class in the eleventh grade, I had a teacher who wanted to put as little pressure on his students as possible, even though he had everyone stand in military fashion being a Vietnam veteran himself. So almost every morning before the bell would ring he always had his favorite group playing on his stereo. This is where I was first introduced to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Sure, I heard “Walk Like a Man” play in my dad’s car every now and then, but my teacher really liked these guys. He always had a new song playing to give us something to snap to and even told us a little about the band. There’s not a memory that flashes by with that class without a Four Seasons song playing in the background. I, too, fell into the music of this group. They may not be a timeless band but their sound is so unique that it’s impossible not to identify them. Clint Eastwood decided to take a stab not just at the biopic genre but also the musical genre with his latest Jersey Boys.

Like most musical movies these days, this is based off of the popular Broadway musical of the same name, yet I have not had the privilege to see it yet. But I can guess that it follows it well. Fittingly enough, our story starts in the early fifties where Tommy DeVito (played by Vincent Piazza) speaks to the audience about how growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey is tough and only the roughest can survive. Rough is being kind to this young man as Tommy has a bad habit of getting himself sent to jail many times. He also has some musical talent as he, a friend Nick Massi, and young Frankie Valli (played by John Lloyd Young) like to perform as a trio. They all have dreams to take their voices to bigger places and manage to get a fourth guy, Bob Gaudio, so that they can get work. It starts with them being backup singers but eventual hits like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “Walk Like a Man” make them one of the biggest groups of all time. Besides giving plenty of chances for the group to serenade us with many of their hits, we get insights on the band members’ lives from Frankie Valli’s daughter running away to Tommy’s further troubles

with debts and mobs. The Broadway show’s gimmick was that you were watching four actors become the Four Seasons and enjoy their songs while the historical stuff is more of a side event. Making a movie out of this isn’t difficult, but changes had to be made to make the material more interesting. With Clint Eastwood in the director’s chair, the historical events have been expanded upon, taking more focus than the songs themselves. It’s a big gamble, considering that the men playing the Four Seasons are the same actors from the stage show. The good news is that all of these guys are good film actors. This is something I would like to see from more big budgeted affairs, but because they’re using really good unknowns, I only saw a young Frankie Valli and a young Tommy DeVito, rather than impersonators. In fact, the only big name is this movie is Christopher Walken as a mobster, but even he settles into his role just fine without giving in to his unusual mannerisms. The songs themselves are a lot of fun to listen to and are staged really well. Some of them are being sung in a recording room, some of them are simply heard on the radio, and my

favorite moment was watching them perform on a recreated Ed Sullivan show that just seems too genuine to be a film production. If I had any problem here it’s with the expanded behind the scenes material with the Four Seasons. While it’s not really bad, it can come off as really formulaic and almost madefor-TV like in quality. I think it’s simply because I enjoyed the songs and recreations so much that the rest of the band’s troubles just aren’t as interesting. They could have cut some of it out. In fact, I usually fault musicals for having one too many songs, but I think Jersey Boys didn’t have enough. There are a lot of songs

here, but couldn’t there have been a scene of Frankie Valli singing “Grease” or something? I’ll give this four Broadway Jersey Boys posters out of five. In the end, if you’re going to see this movie, chances are you are seeing this for the performances of the songs and not for the story behind the band. I can see this being a problem for people who want something meatier but I had fun. Just simply tell yourself to have one of those “Oh, What a Night” nights and enjoy the Four Seasons. Robert T.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Is buying a home a good idea? Paul Bandong Staff Writer Buying a home easily qualifies as one of the largest decisions a first-time buyer can make in his/her lifetime. It is a financial commitment that requires advance planning, consideration of life direction and associated goals. Consideration of additional financial goals is also important (in addition to making payments on a home loan – building equity versus having available cash flow). Here are a few factors to consider. Versus renting Both owning and renting have possible advantages. Rents could potentially increase each year or each contract renewal period. A fixed rate mortgage will be a fixed monthly amount for 30 years or 15 years (depending on the length of the mortgage loan period). You know what you will be paying. Even with an adjustable rate mortgage, there is a range within which the payment will stay for the life of the mortgage. There is no certainty what the monthly rent payment will be fifteen or thirty years

from now. The rent paid is used to pay the owner’s mortgage on the property and create an ongoing source of cash flow for the landlord, not to mention tax write-offs and deductions. The renter gets no such advantages/benefits and has nothing but rent check receipts to show at the end of the contract period. Rents are often less than mortgage payments, providing more leftover cash each month. The additional cash could allow contributions toward other savings goals: retirement, college, travel, investments, down payment towards a future home, etc. Renting makes it easier to relocate, especially when pursuing job/career opportunities. Quality of life is also an issue: renters are limited in what they can do to the property in terms of appearance and improvements. Landlords are reluctant to make many of those aesthetic changes since additional expenses cut into their profit margin and cash flow. Homeowners can create their environment to their own tastes and receive the benefit of the property improvements.

Household repairs – plumbing, electricity, etc – are the responsibility of the landlord when renting or the homeowner. Apartments are smaller, reflecting the goal of maximizing the number of income-producing properties. Stepping up to condominium/townhouse ownership often means larger rooms, inunit laundry areas, enclosed parking and more storage space. Stepping up to singlefamily home ownership often means more space, a yard and higher utility bills. Ownership provides an opportunity to personalize that space to accommodate personal taste and lifestyle. A savings account The house payments are applied to both principal and interest with the bulk of the earlier payments offsetting interest more than principal; the later payments have a larger portion applied to the principal balance. Over time, the property will appreciate, creating additional value (equity) in the property. Equity is the difference between the outstanding balance of the mortgage loan(s) and the market value of the home.

Both are a way to accumulate “savings.” An investment Owning a home is often considered a good investment. As a general rule, over a long term, homes will appreciate about four to five percent per year; this can vary by neighborhood, region, national and local economy, etc. So, for example, on a $200,000 home with a 20 percent down payment, the investment would be $40,000. Appreciating at five percent, the house would increase $10,000 in value that first year; the $10,000 appreciation on a $40,000 investment yields a 25 percent return-on-investment (ROI). The interest on the mortgage payments and property taxes are both tax deductible

from gross income reducing taxable income, essentially meaning the government is subsidizing the home purchase. The effective rate of return is comparable to or better than many other investments. Prospective homeowners should check with their tax/financial advisers for their specific situation. In some higher-priced markets, the costs of owning a home – property taxes, repairs, real estate agents’ fees, and mortgage interest – may outweigh financial benefits (including tax breaks). It’s important to do the math. There are online calculators (Bank of America, New York Times, and many others). Individual neighborhoods can have their own unique dynamics in the for-sale and for-rent sectors. Owning a home may be a

good idea if you want to put a large portion of your monthly living expenses toward an investment you could eventually pay off and own. It makes sense if you want to stay in an area and prefer to create a home that reflects your personal tastes. Renting may make more sense in areas where home prices are high relative to rents and if you have other financial goals that need funding or you need the flexibility to relocate. Only the prospective buyer can make that decision. Seek out the advice of experienced real estate professionals who know the neighborhoods you are interested in; they can refer you to other quality professionals (loans, insurance, inspectors, repairs, etc.) and help you every step of the way.

Container gardens can prove fruitful Melinda Myers Special to the Valley News Picture yourself harvesting a few fresh strawberries for your cereal in the morning or perhaps picking a few apples from your own backyard tree to cook up into a pie. It is possible, even if you garden on a balcony or small lot. And even if you have plenty of space, you will still appreciate the fun and convenience of reaching out the backdoor and harvesting some homegrown fruit.

Strawberries are excellent container plants. Grow everbearing or day neutral varieties, so you will be harvesting strawberries throughout the growing season. Reduce your workload and increase success with a self-watering hanging basket, or dress things up with a decorative container. The haystack hanging baskets have the beauty of the coco fiber-lined planters, but require half the watering. The AquaSav™ liner is a combination of coir and recycled plastic designed to conserve moisture. This means better results with less watering. But don’t stop there. Add some dwarf fruit trees to your patio plantings. A dwarf apple, peach or pear will provide beautiful spring flowers, nice foliage for the summer and fruit for you to enjoy. Select selffertile varieties, those that only require one plant to produce fruit, if space is limited. Grow dwarf trees in large weather-proof pots with drainage. Those in cold climates will need to provide some winter protection, but the first harvest will make that ex-

tra bit of work well worth the effort. Try your green thumb at growing lemons, limes and other citrus in a container. The fragrant flowers and glossy green leaves are a beautiful prelude to the tasty fruit. Even cold weather gardeners can put their green thumb to the test by growing a Meyer lemon, Kaffir lime or other citrus in a container. Just move the potted plant indoors for the winter and back outdoors next season once the danger of frost has passed. Don’t forget the blueberries that are high in antioxidants and flavor. These nutritious beauties require moist, well-drained acidic soil. Something most gardeners do not have. This makes growing them in containers, where you control the soil, a good option. Blueberries provide seasonal interest with their nodding white bell-shaped flowers in spring, colorful fruit in summer and yellow, orange or red color in fall. Though only one plant is needed to bear fruit, keep in mind that your harvest will more than double if you grow two. So survey your patio, deck, balcony or garden for space to add a container or two of fruiting plants that are sure to add beauty and flavor to your garden and meals this season.

Strawberries are excellent container plants. Everbearing or day neutral varieties will provide fruit to harvest throughout the growing season. Gardener’s Supply Company photo

INLAND EMPIRE – As the days get longer and the weather warmer, a homeowner’s thoughts turn naturally to... painting! Yes, as the spring maintenance season arrives, to-do lists start being made and projects are planned. But when it comes to home painting, what to do first? One of the best ways to begin is to thoroughly assess the painted condition of the entire property, both inside and out. Take a slow walk through and around a home, with pad and pencil in hand. Check out everything. Take notes. And for couples, it should be done together – not only because two sets of eyes are better than one, but to get buyin as well. Inside the home, the desire for a more attractive appearance may take precedence over maintenance needs. Do room colors look “tired”? Is it time for a change? Look at the condition of the paint. Have the painted walls seen better days? Is the trim banged up? How do the baseboards look? And don’t fail to assess the condition of the ceilings; most people paint them far less frequently than the walls... and they often look that way. Outside the home, one should start their inspection at the front door, which gives friends and visitors the all-important first impression of someone’s home. Make sure it’s in tip-top shape. Next, look for signs of paint failure on exterior walls – check for bare wood, peeling, or flaking paint, mildew, or mold. If any masonry work is present on the home (on walls, foundation, or a fireplace), check for white, crusty efflorescence. Aluminum siding? Look for vulnerable bare metal and unsightly white oxidation, an indication that corrosion has set in. Check all the areas where two different surfaces come together. Make sure they are properly caulked and that the caulk is in good condition. If one notices a problem, make a note of it. Naturally, it’s smart to inspect exterior trim, windows, shutters, and doors, but don’t forget to also look at the garage door, gutters, downspouts, railings, and decks. A fresh coat of paint can help maintain them all, not to mention metal

light fixtures and lamps, outdoor furniture, swing sets, picnic tables, and fencing. With an inventory of the painting needs, categorize the projects in terms of their urgency or desirability. It’s wise to assign every job a numerical or alphabetical rating, indicating which ones to do first. Next, check if new brushes, tools, or other accessories are needed for the most urgent projects. That way, they can be purchased in one trip to the hardware or home maintenance store, saving valuable time that can be used painting. Generally speaking, it’s better to get to the exterior paint jobs first, starting with the areas of greatest need. One should respect Mother Nature since delaying urgent outdoor painting projects can lead to the home sustaining more damage from inclement weather. If there are multiple exterior paint jobs on the “urgent” list, it might be possible

to bunch similar projects together, saving a lot of time and effort. For example, if metal railings, metal furniture, and a metal lamppost are all badly in need of painting, it would be more efficient to do them all as one project. Watch the weather for ideal days to paint outside areas. Especially wet, cold or windy days may interfere with good paint film formation. When the weather takes a turn for the worse, move indoors. Follow the same procedure with interior painting that was used to do the outdoor work. Start with the most urgent projects. Since spring has sprung, one can comfortably work with windows open so as to keep rooms wellventilated as paint is applied. Information courtesy of Paint Quality Institute.

The final step in the home buying process Four critical steps not to be overlooked

The final walk-through The final walk-through is supposed to be accomplished within the last few days before escrow closes and ownership changes hands. Ideally, the home is empty and is in the exact condition that you’ll receive the home once escrow does formally close. Ideally again, everything that was negotiated has been taken care of and if you are expecting a move-in-ready home then that’s what you found. The first step is not to be so excited that you’re ready to close escrow and finally become a homeowner that you rush the process and take it for granted. This is the time to make sure that all of your negotiated repairs were done, and done correctly. It’s a time to see the house as an empty structure and not the home of the seller. The final walkthrough is a great time to get a clear idea of what projects, if any, you want to take on first and even estimate materials that you’ll be needing. The final walk-through is a critical step in the buying process and should not be taken lightly. It is not just another check on a list of “To Do’s” that you must accomplish in the home buying process. Think it through and take it seriously. Consider these simple tips: 1. Don’t wait until the last day The standard language in a California Association of REALTORS® purchase contract calls for the buyer to be able to conduct the final walk-through within the last five days before the scheduled closing of escrow. With your RE-

Five years ago, the Obama Administration launched the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) designed to save homeowners from foreclosure; the program offered reductions in monthly interest rate or the total loan principal. Over a million people have participated in the program. Homeowners who qualified for rate reductions received fixed rates for five years as low as two percent. As the five-year periods complete this year for the nearly 33,000 homeowners who were the first to take advantage of the government program, rates will start to rise by one percent each year, resulting in an average increase of about $200 in monthly payments.

ALTOR®, make the necessary arrangements early. Figure out when the seller is planning on vacating the property and inspect it the following day, if at all possible. If you wait until the last minute then if there are issues you won’t have time to have them corrected and once escrow closes any issue is your issue and no longer the sellers, short of litigation, and no one wants that. It’s common, if there is adequate time, for a second walk-through to happen. The first one will identify any potential problems and the second to double check that everything has been done. This is not the time to consider negotiating with dollars – all of the loan documentation and transfer paperwork is based on the agreed upon price – unless you want to go through the expense and time of a new escrow period, now is the time for solutions. 2. Check all the power outlets One common issue that arises is electrical outlets don’t all work. It is very uncommon for every one to be checked, even in the most thorough of home inspections. Often there is large furniture blocking several outlets. Most phone chargers have some sort of small LED light that illuminates when it’s in a hot socket. Try bringing your phone charger or any other small electrical item that will fit in your pocket and illuminate when receiving a charge. This makes the process very simple. 3. Junk is junk It’s one thing to go through your own possessions and eliminate the junk from what you want to keep. If you are coming from a rental where your landlord is holding a deposit, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve gotten rid of your junk. While conducting your final walk-through be on the lookout

for the seller’s discarded junk. After they get their money at the close of escrow, their junk is now your junk. By junk I am not just referring to an old chair left on the patio. Look in all of the cabinets in the garage. What about those 42 partially filled cans of paint the owner thought for sure you would want to keep in case you have to match any of the paint in the home? Realize they require special provisions for disposing of. The same goes for old electronics. You want to make certain you have the time for the seller to get rid of, if they left anything behind that was not negotiated for. 4. Surprise Remember you are not looking at the home you purchase; you are looking at an empty house you want to make your home. There is a difference. Your journey to owning your own home has been a long one. You’ve been up and you’ve been down and you are taking the very last step of a journey that may have taken a year or more. Consider this important step in advance. Prepare for it with a checklist of what you want to accomplish and keep focused on what it’s all about and you’ll be fine.

Over the next seven years, over 780,000 borrowers will experience the rising rates. This jump could move many borrowers close to default again. An underlying assumption or hope with HAMP was that the temporary relief it afforded homeowners would be accompanied by an economic recovery that would enable them to find more sustainable means to service their loans and afford their homes. That expected recovery has been protracted: incomes have remained stagnant, employment has made limited improvements in only certain market segments. Many of these borrowers are in much the same situation as when they applied for the program. Re-defaults have become an issue. The Troubled Asset Relief PROGRAM (TARP) report by the

John Occhi, Mike Mason Special to the Valley News It seems like a lifetime ago when you first started looking at the real estate websites, saying to yourself, “I want to buy my own home. There is no point in paying my landlord’s mortgage. I want one of my own!” Months of looking online passed before you took the advice you found to get pre-qualified for a home loan, jumping through one burning hoop of fire after another until finally you were approved. Then came the daunting task of finding the right home in the right neighborhood. You may have worked with several REALTORS® until you found the one who “gets you” and truly has your best interests at heart. But you still had a long way to go in not only finding the right home at a price in your own mind, but you had to compete with the cash investors and other buyers until finally your offer was accepted and you opened escrow. Then came all the inspections, the worrying about the appraisal, and all of the other details that unfolded over the last four to six weeks, and now, finally, you are mere days from getting the keys and moving in. You feel it, life is about to change, all for the good. But wait…

OPEN HOUSES

Special Inspector General found that, as of November 30, 2013, 28 percent of all HAMP borrowers had gone back into default with an additional 100,000 “at risk” for defaulting. The re-defaults could potentially affect market inventories and pricing as well as perception and momentum. The program has been extended through 2015; rate increases scheduled to start this year will continue through 2021. Thus, while HAMP may have initially saved a million homeowners from foreclosure, the short-term fix may just have delayed the inevitable for many.

Patio choices abound to enhance home value, appeal INLAND EMPIRE – Curb appeal can have a dramatic impact on prospective home buyers. Landscaping improvements and renovations to the outside of the home create a strong first impression, with many feeling a home with an appealing exterior has an equally impressive interior. A patio is one area of a home that can boost a home’s appeal and value, while also providing a great place for entertaining and outdoor living and dining. Many homeowners waver when choosing a material for their patio, because each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. A backyard patio is a place where friends and family members can convene in the nice weather to enjoy dining al fresco. In the cooler months, a patio is a great place to

sions, not the least of which is choosing a patio material. Wood, stone, concrete, paving blocks, and tile all can be used to create appealing and functional patios. Because of the widespread availability of concrete, pavers and wood, many patios are constructed of these materials. Concrete Concrete allows for a long-lasting patio surface. Using the popular colored and “stamped” concrete, homeowners can enjoy more colors, textures, and designs than ever before. The new technology in tinting and styling enables concrete to look like other expensive stone materials at a fraction of the cost of stone. For the experienced mason, pouring concrete is a relatively easy job. It may be more difficult for the novice do-it-yourselfer because laying concrete requires knowledge of grading and also installing spacers correctly to deter cracking. Because concrete is not as labor-intensive as some other materials, homeowners may save some money if they choose concrete. Concrete is durable, but over time, cracking can be inevitable. Some concrete requires the application of a sealant every few years to protect coloring and durability. Around pools, concrete can become slippery when wet if the surface wasn’t properly finished with an anti-skid method. Paving stones Many homeowners gravitate toward paving stones because their

varied texture and shapes can create quite an appealing look. If installed correctly, pavers will not crack and it is possible to easily add on to an original design because of the portability of these stones. And because they can be moved, pavers can be repaired from underground and stones can be replaced without any demolition. Homeowners like that pavers can quickly make a yard look high-end. Although pavers can be installed as a do-it-yourself project, such installation can be labor-intensive. The ground needs to be accurately leveled and prepped before the stones can be placed to help ensure there is no shifting or movement. Polymeric sand should be applied and pushed into the joints between blocks to alleviate shifting. The sand contains a polymer that hardens and locks the blocks in place. Such detailed work can be beyond the abilities of some homeowners, who typically pay a substantial amount to have the stones professionally installed. Though the sand may inhibit weed growth, weeds can still pop up between the blocks, so maintenance is necessary. Also, paving blocks are slightly uneven and they can loosen, which can prove a safety hazard to the elderly or young children who aren’t surefooted. Wood Wood is often thought of in a raised-deck scenario, but it can also be laid at ground level to create a

low-lying patio. A wood patio can be unique and stained or painted in a variety of colors. It also may be less expensive to install than concrete or pavers. If the shape is relatively simple, a do-it-yourselfer also may be able to do the job without hiring a professional. Though wood is a good choice for many homeowners, it is undoubtedly high maintenance. Wood must be routinely cleaned, stained, and sealed. Even with the best care, wood can warp, splinter, and chip. When surrounding a pool, wood can quickly deteriorate after coming in contact with chemicals from the pool water. Though most wood is treated, it may be susceptible to boring insects and other pests. Creating a patio can add value to a home. The hard decision is selecting a patio material that fits one’s budget and gives the patio the look ultimately desired.

Temecula teen wins FIA World Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill Dejong wins overall, records fastest lap in RX Lites Class TEMECULA – At age 16 Mitchell DeJong has taken a different path than most teenage youth, instead of playing ball sports he wakes up each day with racing on his mind. Whether it’s a casual game on iRacing driving simulator, racing r/c cars or strength training, he takes every step poised to live his dream as a racing champion in every sport he competes in. The passion to drive grew at an early age while helping his dad in the family off-road shop building high-end off-road cars. At first chance Mitchell won karting and off-road championships in 2007, at only age 9. Since then, he has accumulated nine total championships. Global Rallycross and racing in

X Games has always been a dream for Mitchell. He’s turned great success on the track into an opportunity to race Red Bull GRC Lites and he will begin working hard to be the best amongst great drivers from around the world. Earlier this month, Mitchell DeJong won the RX Lites Cup during the second round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill race circuit in Great Britain. With his first trip across the pond, Mitchell was excited to race where Rallycross was born. Going into the event the goal was to get more seat time in preparation for the upcoming X Games event in Austin, Texas. He quickly found Dejong won the RX Lites Cup during the second round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship and clocked the fastest lap of the weekend in his Olsbergs MSE RX Lite.

Sixteen-year-old Mitchell Dejong from Temecula is one of the youngest rally car drivers in the world to win an FIA World Rallycross Championship at Lyden Hill in Great Britain.

himself turning impressive lap times amongst the most seasoned RX Lites racers. Mitchell went on to win his first heat race opening many eyes to who this American kid was. As the rain soaked the track for the next two heat races, the European group answered back with a new rain tire set-up leaving Mitchell to slip off the podium for a pair of fourth place finishes. While some would get frustrated, the young racer analyzed where he was losing time and worked with his awesome SET Promotions pit crew to find the right track tune

and tire set-up. When the checkered flag dropped in Heat 4, Mitchell had crushed the field besting the next racer by over two seconds for the win. With the track and conditions playing into Mitchell’s hands, he went on to win his semi-final race, and then blasted the field during the finale claiming victory while clocking the fastest lap of the weekend in his Olsbergs MSE RX Lite. Mitchell’s success at the storied Lydden Hill race circuit was impressive to many, even seasoned racing veteran Nelson Piquet Jr. found himself searching for more

STEAM event gives local youth insight into careers SAN JACINTO – Mt. San Jacinto College’s “Building Up STEAM” middle school summer camp attracted 60 youngsters who learned about careers in science, technology, engineering, art/design, and math. The event, June 9-12, on the San Jacinto Campus, encouraged creativity and innovation, promoting critical 21st century skills. “The purpose of the camp was to provide a fun learning environment that promotes career awareness for middle school students,” said Lori Benson, career and technical education project coordinator and event organizer. “The event was a huge success and we had almost 100 percent perfect attendance during the four days.” The participating seventh- and eighth-grade students from Hemet, San Jacinto and surrounding areas received T-shirts, backpacks/supplies, and meals. The camp focused on 15 career pathways, including

ogy and science careers. In engineering, students built a catapult, designed windmills and constructed a mouse trap car. The multimedia workshop helped students use their own ideas and creativity as they learned the principles and “magic” of animation and web design. Dr. Roy Mason, MSJC biology professor, provided a keynote address titled “Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics… and Donald Duck?” that invited students to travel back in time to meet Pythagoras, the father of math and music, to look at how math-

ematics and science have shaped our everyday lives. Nathan Brais, student government association coordinator, along with the help of MSJC mascot, Ernie the Eagle, presented “Get Excited, Get Involved.” The talk inspired students to participate in activities and clubs as they enter high school and college. Students toured the San Jacinto Campus and were excited to spend time in MSJC’s own TV/Radio station studios thanks to the enthusiasm of Dave Parrott, MSJC audio/ visual instructor.

“Many parents reported how much fun their students had at camp and how much they learned about careers,” Benson said. “Parents enjoyed listening to their experiences at the end of each day, as students were beginning to identify their own career interests.” Parents were invited to join their children at camp on the final day. Altura Credit Union offered parents a workshop called “Raise Money-Smart Kids” and Altura donated raffle prizes and gifts for each student. Many parents joined in on a barbeque lunch and final award ceremony.

Health

Candida overgrowth contributes to various medical conditions INLAND EMPIRE – Yeast is well known as the leavening agent responsible for helping breads and baked goods get their fluffy texture. But some might be surprised to learn that yeast grows in the body as well. A certain amount of yeast in the body is necessary, but an abundance of yeast can compromise a person’s health. Candida albicans is a form of yeast that naturally occurs in the body. This fungus lives in small amounts in the mouth and the intestines. It helps with nutrient absorption and digestion. Some people produce too much candida, which can be unhealthy. The reasons behind overproduction of candida are unknown, though some medical professionals suspect it has to do with ineffective healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, as healthy bacteria in the digestive tract keeps yeast levels in check. However, certain factors can cause candida to grow out of control, particularly when a person consumes foods and beverages that feed the yeast. Diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugar can feed yeast, possibly causing an imbalance. Consuming a lot of alcohol can also may contribute to such an imbalance, as can stress. Taking antibiotics for a bacterial infection may also kill off the friendly bacteria in the body, leading to overproduction of candida in the body. The Mayo Clinic notes that some complementary and alternative practitioners blame fatigue, headache, depression, and poor memory on the overgrowth of candida, and some suggest a cleanse diet can limit the growth of candida. Yet there are no clinical trials that document the efficacy of a candida cleanse diet for treating specific medical conditions. The following are a handful of conditions that can be impacted by candida overgrowth. Oral thrush: An overgrowth of candida can cause oral thrush.

Anyone who suspects they have a problem with yeast should talk to a doctor. A lab culture will confirm whether yeast or another bacteria is the problem. Antifungal medications are popular treatments for candida overgrowth. Whether they come in topical creams and ointments,

suppositories or pills that are taken orally, these medications will slow or eliminate the proliferation of candida. In addition, reducing moisture around the affected bodily areas can help. Consult with a doctor for more information concerning candida yeast and its symptoms.

Vaginal yeast infections: The same fungus that causes oral thrush can result in vaginal yeast infections. White discharge and internal and external itching of the genital area can occur. Although a yeast infection isn’t dangerous, it can be passed on to a baby during delivery and also can be passed on to sexual partners.

rashes, intestinal issues, and even loose stools can be signs of a yeast infection in men. Athlete’s foot: Candida can contribute to athlete’s foot. The warm, dark environment that forms when damp feet combine with socks and shoes may cause yeast to grow unchecked. Rashes, sores and dry, patchy areas form on the soles of the feet as well as between the toes. If the skin between the toes cracks, it may cause bacteria to penetrate deeper and cause secondary infections. Although cutting sugar and refined foods from a diet can help with candida treatment, it is unlikely dietary changes alone will cure an overgrowth problem.

Local foundation aims to combat Krabbe disease Alex Groves Staff Writer Few people know what it’s like to see a loved one struggle through Krabbe disease, a debilitating and ultimately fatal condition that impacts the nervous systems of infants and young children. Krabbe causes a young child to develop symptoms of irritability, muscle weakness, feeding difficulties and episodes of fever as well as slow mental and physical development. Muscles get even weaker as the disease progresses, making it nearly impossible to chew and swallow food, move and breath. The disease is nearly impossible to treat if it isn’t caught in the initial stages of an infant’s development, and once an infant begins to exhibit symptoms of the disease, it’s too late to cure. That’s why Steve Aldrian, cofounder of The Peace, Love & Trevor Foundation, has been leading an effort to give Krabbe disease more recognition. He has been reaching out to the California Legislature in an effort to include Krabbe in a list of diseases that expecting parents can check for as soon as a baby is born. But Aldrian’s desire to fight the disease extends past prevention; he has also reached out to families who have children suffering from Krabbe with monetary support and advice through the foundation. Aldrian and his late wife Nicole were motivated to start Peace, Love & Trevor after their own son, Trevor, was diagnosed with the fatal condition. They wanted to provide resources for other people who were dealing with the same kinds of struggles because they knew firsthand how difficult it is to raise a child suffering from the condition, Aldrian said. “My wife and I felt we were

blessed to have the financial ability to care for our son and we had a lot of close family and friends that were willing to assist in caring for him,” he said. “But we knew that wasn’t the case for other families and that was kind of the seed for our effort to help other families.” He said his foundation finds families on online bulletin board websites and tight-knit internet communities and offers those families – who are often unsure of where to go or what to do – help. “We find these families and reach out to them and offer them assistance,” he said. “We let them know we have a son with Krabbe and point them in the direction of doctors who have experience (in treating the disease).” Aldrian said he refers them to specialized doctors in places like Pennsylvania and North Carolina who can give their child the right kinds of medications and treatments for symptoms like irritability or pain. But that’s certainly not the only aim of the foundation, which takes into account a family’s extenuating circumstances and difficulties. Members of the foundation once worked on a van conversion for a woman suffering from Multiple Sclerosis who had a child with Krabbe. Because of her MS, the woman had difficulty picking up her child – whose limb function was reduced by the disease – and placing him in the van when she needed to go places with him. The foundation worked on making changes inside the van so that the woman would not have to worry about picking her child up anymore. However, in spite of their success in helping others, there have been some dark days for the Aldrian family. Steve’s wife, Nicole, developed

breast cancer and recently passed away on May 12. Steve, who once had the support of his wife in caring for their now 6-yearold Trevor, has found it difficult to be a parent all the time. He has to bathe and feed Trevor, who is completely dependent on the help of others in his current state. He also has to care for Trevor’s twin brother, Tyler, who doesn’t suffer from the disease. “I definitely notice the effects of the absence of my wife, who I miss dearly,” he said. And in spite of his efforts to get the California State Legislature to offer Krabbe testing for all recently born children, Aldrian has come up fruitless due to both the state’s budget constraints and the rarity of the disease itself.

“Unfortunately, there are 7,000 rare diseases out there that people aren’t familiar with,” Aldrian said. “To test for this disease specifically is not something we would have ever done.” Aldrian said that the disease’s rarity makes it a hard sell for testing but that his foundation still supports any legislation that would require such a thing. He said early testing is so important because the only time the disease can be effectively treated is when a child is asymptomatic. Amy Zebrack, a close friend of the family and a board member for the foundation, said she has hope that the foundation will someday see testing for Krabbe and similar diseases available. “I pray every day for it,” she said. “It’s very sad to see these kids in

this condition.” She said she’s proud of the effort that Aldrian has made to bring awareness to the disease as well as the effort he’s made to help other families. That’s something Aldrian said he’s not giving up anytime soon. “We understand that until newborn screening exists, there’s going to be a need for our foundation,” he said. “And we will continue to assist families whose kids are born with Krabbe disease and don’t know where to turn.” For more information on The Peace, Love & Tr e v o r F o u n d a t i o n , v i s i t www.peaceloveandtrevor.com.

World War II veteran shares what it was like to be dive bomber, gunner Alex Groves Staff Writer World War II veteran Sid Zimman shared what it was like to be a gunner and a dive bomber for the Marines in the South Pacific during a presentation that was part of the “World War II Experience,” a series of lectures that give people insight into what World War II was like and what soldiers went through. The presentation started shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 and Zimman spoke before an audience of more than a dozen different people at West Coast Ammo in Temecula. He discussed

his motivation for entering the war, his experiences in boot camp and his experiences in combat itself. Zimman – a child of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania – enrolled in the Marines in 1942 after he finished his high school education in Michigan. He said he entered the Marines for two key reasons; one was that he wanted to join the branch of the military he thought was the best, and the other was that he wanted to represent Jewish people as a soldier. Linda Dudik, PhD, who organizes the veteran talks, said that there was a common conception among American people in the 1940s that young Jewish men were not involved with the war, at least not in a combat capacity. She said there were certain people who thought Jewish men were only in quartermaster – providing supplies and clothing to other troops – and this was in part because of anti-Semitism that was rampant in the ‘30s and ‘40s in the United States. When Zimman signed up for the Marines, he was sent to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego. Normally enlisted marines located to the east of the Mississippi River were sent to Parris Island boot camp in North Carolina, but the boot camp was full and Sid was sent west instead. From there he began his journey of being a radio operator, gunner and bomber. After his initial period of training at the boot camp, Zimman had to choose a Marine Occupational Specialty (MOS) as part of the Marines and he chose to be an aerial radio operator which meant that he went to Jacksonville, Florida, radio school to learn how to operate a radio in an airplane 10,000 feet above the ground. He later went to gunner school at Yellow Water, Florida, to learn gunning operations before he left to Sanford Fla. to participate in operational training for aircrafts.

Sid Zimman speaks of his WWII experience as a gunner on a SBD dive-bomber during a presentation held at West Coast Ammo in Shane Gibson photos Temecula on Sat. June 21, 2014.

Zimman would be stationed in various locations before eventually being assigned to the newly formed Squadron VMSB-341 as a bomber. His position as part of the Marine air corps made him unique. The percentage of airborne Marines was less than one percent of the military at large during this time, according to Dudik. As a bomber, Zimman would release bombs from his plane as the plane traveled straight toward its target at a 70 to 80 degree angle. Zimman said such an operation was very unforgiving and very difficult to pull off sometimes because if a plane didn’t pull out in time a pilot could be risking serious injury or death. But Zimman said he felt very grateful not only for the plane, an SBD (Slow But Deadly) Dauntless Dive-Bomber, but also for Lt. Albert Alfred Black. Black was the pilot of the plane who maneuvered it while Zimman dealt with bombing and gunning. “If you lined up a bunch of guys, maybe he wouldn’t be the first guy you chose,” Zimman said. “But

he attended to business. He never equivocated and he did his job. Zimman and Black flew numerous flights together in the South Pacific, performing airstrikes on airfields, anti-aircraft artillery, ammunition dumps and shipping in places where Japanese Naval Fortresses had been established like the islands of Rabaul and Munda. After two years of combat, Zimman would eventually return home to the U.S. Later, in 1945, his journey would come full circle and he would take on a job as a radio instructor at the El Centro Marine Air Base. Zimman, during his time speaking, said he was glad for the work that Linda Dudik does. He said she has tried to keep the memory and facts of World War II alive and her passion for doing so is evident. “Professor Dudik is tenacious in her presentations and her research,” he said. “And while others leave no stone unturned, professor Dudik leaves no pebble unturned.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.
