2 | The Country Review June/July 2010

Summer is here and for many of us that means family vacations, barbecues, and taking things a little easier. Our June/July issue highlights many of the great activities you can do, including an upcoming summer concert series, a day trip to Oceanside, and a visit to the Fender Center in Corona.

The past two months have been an exciting time for us as we have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from longtime readers and advertisers about Country Review magazine. We are excited about the positive direction the magazine is taking and have sincerely enjoyed getting out and meeting business owners and community members. This has been a great opportunity for us! Recently, we have added and improved on the paid distribution in the area. We are now inside all Stater Bros, Henry’s, CVS, Fresh n Easy, Sam’s Club, Smart & Final, Ace Hardware, and Baron’s throughout Temecula, Murrieta, Sun City, and Lake Elsinore. Additionally, Country Review is partnering with the number one radio station in the area, KATY 101.3FM, to add even more value to our readers and advertisers. We also added two new contributing writers: Richard Blade From Sirius/XM Radio to share his expertise to our music interviews, and Roberto Martin from The Ellen Degeneres Show. Roberto will have a unique menu column in each issue. We are excited to add both of these acclaimed writers to our team! Our goal is to continue to produce a high quality, informative, and entertaining magazine while incorporating a new voice and new look. We hope that Country Review magazine is a one-stop reading experience that showcases the best of what Southwest Riverside County has to offer. Enjoy your summer.

SUPPORTING CHELSEA’S LAWThis law would increase penalties for sexual predators, including adding a one-strike provision for the worst crimes that would put an attacker behind bars for life without parole. Continuing their joint efforts to protect California’s children from violent sexual predators, Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Kelly and Brent King today announced the Chelsea’s Law Support Petition drive and an initial goal of obtaining 20,000 signatures in support of Chelsea’s Law.

“This petition will enable Californians to gather our voices behind a singular initiative for children who don’t have a voice of their own in our legislative process.” Brent King recently stated, “There is not a minute that goes by that I don’t think about the attack on Chelsea.”

In honor of Father’s Day, a copy of the petition will be available for signatures on Saturday, June 19, between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm at the Temecula Duck Pond. Please join us in this fight for our children.

the CURE

Eat HealthyHippocrates, the father of medicine, stated “Let food

be thy medicine.” Today, this statement still applies. Food is our body’s fuel. I see patients with fatigue,

depression, anxiety, insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure and more. I see kids with pre-diabetes and obesity. I frequent-ly inquire about eating habits, and often the food eaten by many is full of preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, dyes and more. I explain that just as a luxury automobile cannot run optimally on cheap gas, our bodies are unable to func-tion normally on inferior foods. We are designed to consume healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts. Caution, weight loss is a common side effect of healthy eating.

Think HealthyKing Solomon boldly proclaimed millennia ago “As a man thinketh in his heart: so he is.” Once we digest the fact that our thoughts influence our future, we become careful what we think about. Daily, our minds are being inundated with negativity. While we are told to “think positive” regarding issues we face in our life, we rarely are told to be optimistic when it comes to health. Instead, most focus on the health problems not desired, instead of the healthy life desired. Peo-ple fear their genetics pre-determine their health future but experts state that less than 5% of one’s disease risk is genetic. 95% of disease risk is determined by lifestyle choices.

Patients often tell me they don’t want heart disease, diabetes and cancer but rarely tell me what they want instead of these ailments. Motivational speaker Zig Ziglar states “Input de-termines outlook, outlook determines output and your out-put determines your future.” The same applies to health and the beliefs we have about it.

We need to change the way we talk to ourselves, the harm-ful thoughts we replay over again in our minds. We need to focus on healthy living, longevity, being well, or being thin.

Be HealthyStart with a healthy diet of God-made foods instead of corpo-ration made foods. Focus on wellness, healthy living and an active outdoor lifestyle. Go back to basics. Cook your foods, eat more fruits and vegetables and keep the junk foods to a minimum. Teach your children and grandchildren to do the same and they will live long. Drink more water and eliminate soda. Make these changes and health, happiness and longev-ity will result.

THINK

EAT

BEHealthyby Eric Madrid, M.D.


While women have historically had their place in the home, today women have active lifestyles, their own businesses, support households, and have role

models like Michelle Pfeiffer and Demi Moore. The 60-year-old woman of today looks like the 40-year-old woman of yesterday because of the meticulous artistry and skill of board-certified plastic surgeons such as Dr. Stuart Kincaid.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to turn back time and have all the wis-dom and grace that comes with age with none of the tell-tale signs? Stuart B. Kincaid, M.D. F.A.C.S., a graduate of Duke Med-ical School with surgical training fellowships at Stanford, Har-vard and U.C. San Francisco, is an accomplished plastic surgeon who understands the unique needs of both male and female patients. Disarmingly charming, with an easygoing Midwestern demeanor, Dr. Kincaid’s experience of more than 25 years has made him a highly skilled specialist in his field. He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a member of the Ameri-can Society of Plastic Surgeons, and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

“I endeavor to be a good listener and hear what my patient’s con-cerns and expectations are to give them an overview of what is possible from the least invasive to the most invasive procedures and in the most cost-effective manner,” says Kincaid.

When addressing patients in their forties and beyond, Dr. Kin-caid may frequently recommend more invasive facial plastic sur-gery for those struggling with aesthetic issues such as sagging cheeks, loss of a well-defined jaw line and neck contour. This, of course, will necessitate longer incisions, more down time and expense. By combining multiple procedures with any or all of the non-invasive treatments it is possible to achieve an overall comprehensive effect for the more mature patient. However, for patients in their twenties, thirties, and beyond, Dr. Kincaid says “I frequently recommend a Vi Peel, a freshening skin peel, Botox, and less invasive facial rejuvenation fillers such as Re-stylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse.” More recently, he began offer-ing Sculptra, the Liquid Facelift that is a popular facial injectable treatment that restores volume and a more youthful appearance. In consideration of his patients and as a result of these difficult economic times, more aggressive laser skincare procedures such as micro laser peels, fractional laser resurfacing of the face, neck, and chest and facial plastic surgery procedures may also be rec-ommended.

A new generation of patients not quite ready for a complete face-lift rejuvenation procedure, but needing more than injectables and lasers may provide, are turning to mini-facelifts and mini-tummy tucks that provide shorter scars with less downtime and less ex-pense. Kincaid simply states, “Small procedures generally give you lesser results and bigger procedures give you greater results.”

Dr. Kincaid desires to establish realistic goals and expectations with each patient in order to achieve the best and most natural results possible. Specializing in all types of cosmetic plastic sur-gery of the face and breasts and body contouring procedures, Dr. Kincaid will frequently perform multiple procedures simul-taneously. He does this by providing his patients with access to nationally accredited JCAHO certified surgery centers and hos-pitals which emphasize safety and offer a complement of well-trained and caring nurses in addition to board certified MD An-esthesiologists.

Using a team approach, Dr. Kincaid says, “I can perform mul-tiple facial plastic surgical or body contouring procedures such as breast augmentations, tummy tucks, liposuction and others in one session. This is done in a timely, cost-effective manner without ever compromising safety. These types of surgeries may necessitate bringing in another fully trained assistant plastic sur-geon to achieve such goals under my supervision.” Dr. Kincaid is an advocate of simultaneous plastic surgeries for the properly selected, highly self motivated and healthy patient.

Dr. Kincaid takes great pride in having changed the lives of thou-sands of patients. “Most exciting to me at this point in my career is that through the effects of the above cosmetic procedures, my patients can experience profound improvement in their body image and self-esteem,” he says. “I believe this is a noble and spiritual cause as each of us truly desires to be loved and treated with dignity and respect to be the best we can be.”

2009Readers’ Choice

“Best of” First Place


“LASER” stands for: Light Amplification Stimulated Emission Radiation. Laser radiation is good radiation while X-Ray radia-tion is bad radiation. Laser light travels in a straight line, is all one wavelength (same color), and is a different light that has no beam (like a flashlight), only a dot on the intended object.

Modern technology has changed the way we live. Every day our lives are positively impacted by better and safer products and services. Dentistry is no exception. Many exciting break-throughs in Laser Technology have benefited the way dentistry is performed. While most people fear dental care, they may not be aware of how technology has made dentistry less invasive, less painful, and has given dentists the ability to heal common problems and achieve better results. One example is Periodon-tal Disease (gum disease). Most adults have some form of this disease that destroys the gum and the bone tissues support-ing the teeth. While our parents and grandparents had to settle for dentures when gum disease affected their teeth, today laser technology is another tool we can use to help treat periodon-tal disease, thus helping people retain their teeth for a lifetime. This treatment can also help prevent more serious systemic problems associated with the bacteria from periodontal dis-ease entering the bloodstream. These bacteria can contribute to heart disease, diabetes and other serious illnesses. By utiliz-ing a laser, it is possible to kill the bad bacteria and remove the disease less invasively (many times avoiding the surgical proce-dures of the past) and at a reduced cost to traditional surgery. It has been proven that the perio (gum) pockets can be reduced several mm and can regenerate bone attachment up to 2 mm. The diode laser is very safe when used properly and should not be confused by the bad press caused by the “yag” laser which produces a lot of heat.

So, if you have been told that you are one of the millions of adult Americans that have gum disease, Laser Periodontal Treatment could greatly benefit you and your teeth. The scalpel and the conventional electrosurgery unit have been the units of choice for soft tissue surgery. Now lasers are an alternative to conventional surgical systems.

1. Scalpels cannot provide the hemostasis (prevent bleeding) that is helpful for use on highly vascular tissue (gums).

2. The zone of thermal damage (heat) is kept to a mini-mum, which is not the case with electrosurgery.

3. Other advantages of the laser over the scalpel are: greater precision, a relatively bloodless surgical and post surgical

course, sterilization of the surgical area, minimal swelling and scarring, minimal or no suturing, and much less post surgical pain. It can also be used in the treatment of herpes and to drain infected fistulas by killing the bacteria inside.

Diode lasers have been used successfully for conditioning enamel and dentine surfaces of the teeth. The bactericidal ef-fect helps to reduce inflammation in the root canal as well as the periodontal pocket in addition to scaling. This can be used to provide higher success in root canal therapy and to desensi-tize teeth. It can also be used next to metal, which can’t be done with electrosurgery.

The laser can be used to eliminate the swelling around orth-odontic bands, to expose erupting teeth, to expose healed den-tal implants, to remove chronic tissue growths and ulcerations, to release the linzual frenum (at base oftonzue), and to facili-tate proper speech and tongue movement. It can also sterilize the bacteria from an aphthous ulcer allowing healing at a much more rapid rate.

The laser is also used for teeth whitening and can whiten teeth up to five shades lighter in one hour. It is interesting that for the next 24 hours the teeth even get whiter. In our office we have “the gift of whitening certificates” which make excellent gifts to friends and love ones.

Another use of the laser is for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness in the treatment of TMJ. It allows for progressive/immediate relief of pain reduction in muscle tenderness and stiffness, increased function, improved quality of life. It is also gentle on the tissue in comparison to other al-ternatives such as steroid injections All of the above normally only need a simple surface anesthetic instead of injections.

The laser energy is “non-Ionizing,” so there is no damage from radiation as in X-Rays.

One of my patients said recently; “I want my teeth to last one day longer than me.” With newer dental technology this can be attainable with proper dental care and periodic dental exams, cleaning and scaling, and proper personal dental hygiene. The dental laser is one more step in that goal.

On the wall at Stadium Pizza Wildomar, alongside count-less appreciation plaques from sports leagues and local schools, is a shadow box containing a high school jacket

with letter and pins, trophies, photos and other sporting mem-orabilia from the late ‘80s. Further inspection shows the name “Cassandra Dye” all over everything - who actually just so hap-pens to be Sandy Kordick, owner and very hands-on opera-tor of the restaurant. Sandy started with Stadium (then known as Home Run Pizza) at 16, making pizzas part-time while in school. Flash forward 20 years, and this articulate young wom-an is running a powerhouse of a pizza parlor. In June of 1990, Home Run Pizza was a very small business, operating primar-ily take-out and delivery with a few small tables for diners. In 1995, they added an outdoor patio, then expanded the dining room and expanded again in 1998. In 2004, when Sandy - by now Director of Operations for four locations - and her hus-band Rick purchased the Wildomar location, they expanded once more. In 2009, Sandy made the decision to relocate her business across the street into the new Renaissance Plaza cen-ter, adding another 600 square feet to the dining area.

Sandy “grew up” at Stadium Pizza, so the opportunity to own the Wildomar location was a natural fit for her. She has a vi-sion - and a reality - of having Stadium seen as the “best pizza place in town.” Active with non-profits and generous with con-tributions to local sports leagues and schools, Stadium sees the value in supporting the community that supports their busi-

ness. Different sporting organizations have their team par-ties in Stadium’s “Team Area” - also used for birthday par-ties and such - at no charge. Coaches receive gift certificates to honor their athletes - over 2,000 of them a year - simply because Stadium thinks it’s important to recognize these kids for their hard work. Twice a year, customers receive discounts for bringing canned food to Stadium, which gets donated to HOPE, a local food bank.

The vast menu is not limited to pizza, although the list of avail-able toppings is impressive. On it is a little something for ev-eryone, and there is a fresh salad bar available. There’s an ar-cade for the kids, and a long list of beers available on draught or bottled for the big kids. Multiple large-screen TVs are scat-tered throughout the dining area, showing all kinds of sport-ing events. Autographed memorabilia - bats, tennis racquets, even the hood of a car - adorn the walls. When decorating the new, larger location, Sandy asked customers to bring in items for the walls, wanting people to see their “stuff,” thereby feel-ing like they are a part of the business. Very true, since Sandy genuinely recognizes her customers and her community as be-ing responsible for the success of Stadium Pizza Wildomar.

Dine-in, delivery and take-out available. Stop by our new location today!

wine & DINE

Imagine a relaxed afternoon with good friends soaking up the warm sun and soft breezes of Temecula along with great food and wine. Life’s simple pleasures are what you

can expect when you make a stop at Thornton Winery. Tem-ecula Wine Country is coming into its own as a respected wine destination and Thornton is one of the oldest and most accom-plished wineries with not only great wine selections, but also an award winning restaurant, Café Champagne.

A few weeks ago, on a beautiful spring day, I had the pleasure to soak up the atmosphere, tour the grounds, and taste Thorn-ton’s first class food and wine. Of course, when you first drive onto the property you are captivated by the impressive stone architecture and the old world look of the buildings with the fountain and gardens. But I was most taken by the comfortable, unimposing feel of the wine tasting patio and restaurant.

Winemaker Don Reha, who has been with Thornton since 2003, started my afternoon with an informative tour of the fermentation tanks, bottling area and the stone-walled barrel aging caves. He has an impressive resume with over 20 years experience in the business and strives to create complex, well balanced wines for the estate. He has won many awards includ-ing 2000 Wine Spectator’s “Zinfandel of the Year.”

After the winery tour, I was treated to a wonderful lunch at Café Champagne. Besides the delicious food, the highlight of the meal was chatting with Executive Chef Steve Pickell about his 14 years creating the menu items with the freshest seasonal choices from local farms. Many of his suppliers are organic growers and his poultry comes from a local free range farm. Steve has won the prestigious California Restaurant Writer’s Association “Chef of the Year” award in 2003 and the Southern California Restaurant Writer’s Association “Chef of the Year” in 2005 and 2009.

The star of the show, of course, was the food and wine pair-ings. We started out with two classic Café Champagne appe-tizers: Golden Baked Brie in puff pastry with roasted walnuts in a warm honey sauce along with Seared Layered Ahi with avocado, pickled shitake mushrooms in a soy-ginger sauce. The Baked Brie was rich and a perfect match with the walnuts and honey. The Ahi was very fresh and superbly complemented by Don Reha’s choice of the 1988 Blanc de Noirs.

As we moved on to the lunch entrées, I tried the Warm Spin-ach and Goat Cheese Salad. It had a great balance of savory and sweet with the addition of Dried Cherries and Hazelnuts. The warm Pancetta Sherry Dressing lightly wilted the spinach and added the finishing touch. It was paired with the Thornton 2008 Viognier which was a perfect complement to the earthi-ness of the spinach and goat cheese.

I also tried one of the specials for the day, an open faced sand-wich trio that included Black Forest Ham paired with blanched Asparagus, Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke hearts with an herbed mayonnaise and a Chicken Waldorf with Dried Apri-cots and Red Grapes. They were all placed atop toasted ba-guettes and complemented each other with distinctive flavors. I especially liked the smokiness of the Black Forest Ham paired with the fresh asparagus. I was lucky to be there for the release of Thornton’s first Petite Sirah. Don was very happy with the 2007 vintage and said he waited an additional year to make sure it could stand on its own. It was my favorite selection of the day.

We finished the meal with the Homemade Tiramisu with a classic combination of espresso soaked ladyfingers, sweet mas-carpone cheese and creamy whipped cream. I loved the delicate richness of the espresso and cream. Delicious!

Thornton is known for its upscale, but warm atmosphere and its delicious food and wine selections. So when you want to unwind and forget about everyday stress, take a short ride out to Thornton Winery and Café Champagne for a relaxing after-noon or evening enjoying gourmet food and first class wine.

Summer is the season for Thornton’s 22nd Annual Jazz Series. Many top artists are included in the line up. Gourmet Sup-per packages or general admission tickets are available. Call (951) 699-3021 or www.thorntonwine.com for tickets.

Temecula Wine Country

Temecula Wine Country

at its Bestby Judy Contreras


wine & DINE

If you have driven into Temecula Wine Country in the past few months, you probably noticed the new addition of Monte De Oro Winery. While the Tasting Room and grounds might be new, the dream started back in 2002 with a group of 65 partners who all loved drinking wine and wanted to be a part of creating a premier winery. The synergy (defined as a mutually advanta-geous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business partici-pants) created by this group has lead to a first class enterprise.

In 2002, a business organizer placed ads in several wine pub-lications and the 65 current owners are among the group that responded. They are an eclectic mix of people from all over the United States and overseas with varied backgrounds. The man-aging partner, Ken Zignorski, was an executive in the corporate insurance industry and lived in New Jersey. In the past 8 years he has not only moved to Temecula, but he has learned everything he can about the art of making superior wine. He now works with the other owners to perfect the blends of each vintage and also consults with winemakers Tim Kramer of Temecula Valley Winery Management and Tom Eddy of Tom Eddy Winery in Napa Valley to produce their award winning wines.

It all started with the first planting of Monte De Oro’s Vista del Monte vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes. This was followed by DePortola vineyard with Viognier, Caber-net Franc and Merlot, and their Galway vineyard with Zinfandel, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Musct Canel-li. The newest is the vineyard at Monte de Oro with Tempranillo, Petit Syrah, Mouvedre, Malbec and Grenache.. The goal is to produce wine with 100% estate grown grapes. It takes three fall seasons after initial plating before the first harvest arrives. The first wine produced by Monte De Oro was their 2005 Synergy 65–Owner’s Inaugural Blend, named after the 65 owners, and proved to be a winner at several wine competitions.

The continuing success of the wines is enhanced by the beautiful tasting room off Rancho California Road. It’s hard to call it just a tasting room, since it is so much more. The 21,000 square foot facility includes not only the dramatic cathedral ceilings and two story picture windows in the main tasting area, but two private banquet rooms with patios and fireplaces, a full catering kitchen, a breathtaking outdoor patio area with a dynamic water feature and the expansive below ground barrel room with windows in the ceiling looking up onto the main floor. Every detail has been well thought out in the Mediterranean architecture. The pan-oramic views of the mountains and Temecula Valley are simply stunning.

restaurant REVIEW

BULL PEN BURGERS & LINKS

An Impressive Dining Experience with Something for Everyone

by Christy Sanchez

Great Eats and Cheap Drinks is the motto for this charming sports themed restaurant which has a little something for everyone, from the

chicken wedge salad to specialty links, to an extensive breakfast menu.

The customer service at Bull Pen is wonderful: the perfect blend of charm and attentiveness. The wait staff caters to customers, rolling out the red carpet to make the dining experience memorable and worth coming back for.

On the day my husband and I tried the Bull Pen we started out with the Bull Platter. This included bone-less wings, which were a perfect spicy barbeque, tater skins, cheese skins, and two Armadillo Eggs, with Bean and Cheese Nachos served with Marinara, Tornado and Ranch Dressings. This could have been a meal on its own and we both would order it again. One terrific fea-ture of the Bull Pen menu is they stuff their own jalape-ños, which are amazing and reminiscent of New Mexico chilis, complete with tasty and incredible cheese. The fry menu is extensive and can easily be a meal or a tasty and mind-blowing appetizer. The menu offers many choices for lunch or dinner, including: specialty burgers, the Bullpen BLT, featuring apple wood smoked bacon, and a deep fried hot dog. An additional crowd pleaser is the Juicy Loosey Cheeseburger which consists of a ½ Lb patty stuffed with four slices of American cheese served with Grilled Onions, pickles, mustard, and Thousand Is-land dressing. The Bullpen burger we sampled was the Kobe Beef Burger, which was exceptional. The highlight of our eating experience, however, was the sweet potato fries with their cinnamon butter dip. This was a huge indulgence, and is worth coming back to the Bull Pen for over and over again. We even brought extras home for our kids and they were crazy about them. We all also loved the homemade chips. To add to the great customer service, at the end of each meal you get homemade cook-ies, which even though we had feasted, we heartily ap-preciated. Our dining experience was very worthwhile. We would certainly go back for dinner, work lunches, breakfast with the kids, football season…you get the picture…it is a great dining experience.

The Bull Pen is an excellent lunch place with a crowd pleasing break-fast menu. Country Brunch is every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm, with menu items like Breaded Bacon and Gravy, Breakfast Burritos, and a Philly Cheese steak Omelet.

The restaurant itself is nice for everyone, from a pleasant patio area, to a bar area for watching the games, to a large dining room. Spe-cial events include Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm with $4 appetizers, and $1.50 Bullpen minis. Monday Mad-ness features a 2 for 1 Burger Combo and Happy Hour Drink Prices. Two for one Tuesdays is buy one sausage or hot dog combo and two drinks and get the second sausage or hot dog combo free. Wednes-day’s Kids Eat Free.

The Bullpen is located at 41653 Margarita Road in Temecula, on the North West corner of Overland & Margarita, East of Red Lob-ster. To find out more information or to view the menu go to www.BullPenBurgers.com or call 951-695-8620.

easy ENTERTAINMENT

The sun is shining, a light breeze is blowing, laughter is floating through the air, and what is that smell. Ahhh yes, the BBQ. Summertime is the perfect time for a back yard

BBQ and there are so many great reasons to gather around: Fa-ther’s day, Fourth of July, and the perfect burger, to just name a few. The back yard BBQ is the perfect way to ease into entertain-ing with just a few touches here and there to make it special.

BBQ says casual…shorts and flip flops – that is why BBQ’s are al-ways a hit! A great theme is burgers and beer, which can work for any upcoming holidays! Send a cute invite with a picture of your favorite beer and burger and ask your guests to bring a BBQ recipe (add a flag for the 4th or a picture of your favorite dad at the grill for Father’s Day). Use galvanized buckets for a few things; you can find a variety of sizes and shapes at your local hardware store. Put one on your front porch with a few sunflowers, bottles of BBQ sauce, some beer, BBQ utensils, and a sign that says “Welcome,” or “Happy 4th,” or “Dads are Great.” Fill a large one with a variety of

your favorite brews piled high with ice, serve your cold side dishes in them on your buffet (make sure to line with a plastic container) and, of course, put your centerpiece arrangements in them.

For colors you really have an open book; go bright! Though it is Summer red and yellow, orange and lime green would work great for Father’s Day as well. Red, white, and blue is a must for the Fourth. Where do you put your color? On a table cloth, or in the floral arrangements. You can also pull pieces of your furni-ture that work including rugs, vases, or paintings. Moving your house around a little for a party gives guests that have been to your home before an unexpected treat.

For your menu doing a burger bar is tons of fun. Have turkey and beef patties (check to see if you have any vegetarians, if so, grab a pack of Boca burgers in the freezer section) a variety of buns and mounds of toppings. Also include several cheese choices, grilled onions, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, avocado, fresh tomatoes, let-tuce and a variety of condiments and sauces. Your bar will turn out big burgers so you can get away with a few sides including classics like watermelon, potato salad and baked beans. Display burgers, buns, and condiments on big colorful platters, pre-roll your plastic utensils in napkins and tie with a colored ribbon and, of course, stack in a galvanized bucket. You are on your way to a great summer!

for leaks; you made need to line the in-side of your bucket prior to filling with foam and water. Press your bottles into the foam where you would like them in the arrangement and then fill the area around the bottles with flowers, greens and limes.

You can easily change this arrange-ment for any BBQ. If you always host a Fourth of July pool party, make your flowers red, white and blue and instead of bottles use picks with stars or confetti streaming down.

We also want to show you a simple way to use a bottle and a little floral to make your guests feel special or make your buffet or

“spread” pop. Fill the bottles with water and place a single stem or a few flowers in each one. Then make name tags for your guests, tie them to the bottle and set them around your table. The same design can be used to label the items you are serving.

I hope that you all have fun planning a BBQ for a few friends or family and that you are able to add a little floral to the event.

Yummy…my mouth is already watering thinking about the yummy BBQ Tiffany has planned. Who doesn’t love a BBQ and what a wonderful setting to have a little fun with floral. This issue’s arrange-

ment shows how to have fun with your theme and with “filler.”

We’re starting with a galvanized Corona bucket, some Corona bottles and limes for accents. Because what’s a Corona without a lime? Now, if your crowd isn’t the beer drinking type, you can replace the beer bottles with BBQ sauce or old time soda bottles. Or if Corona is not your beer of choice, substitute with your favorite brew. You can find a gal-vanized bucket at any floral or craft store.

While at the floral or craft store pick up a block of floral foam for inside your bucket. Soak the floral foam ac-cording to the directions on the package and then cut to fit inside your bucket. Make sure you check your bucket


mr. FIX-IT

There may be nothing wrong with dad’s old grill, but imag-ine how he’d feel cooking out on a brand new Weber model with all the bells and whistles. Sometimes you can’t beat the taste of a steak cooked on a charcoal grill, like one of We-ber’s One-Touch models. If the ease of use and snappy cleanup of a gas grill is more up dad’s ally, give him the “gold standard”: a Weber Genesis Gold B stain-less steel propane grill (Ace no. 8186710).

Not sure just what dad needs this year? Ace Gift Cards are always a sure bet. Available in amounts from $5 to $250, bring dad into your local Ace store and let him spend to his heart’s content.

Get dad something he can really use this Father’s Day! If you have additional questions about home improvement - even cre-ative gift giving - ask the helpful folks at your neighborhood Ace Hardware store.

Treat Dad To A New Tool Instead Of A Tired Ascot

It’s a well-known fact that ties of all shapes and styles are the traditional “dad’s day” gift year after year (after year). But as business casual office attire becomes more and more accept-

able, ties are becoming a tired option for holiday gifting.

Last month, we managed to get mom what she really wanted when we talked about Mother’s Day gifts from your local Ace Hardware store. Why in the world should “pop” be any different? Show him you care with a new hand or power tool!

New power tools keep featuring the latest innovations and high-tech options that dads love. They have all the bells and whistles that make them great “guy gadgets.” Sure, they may look like a regular old hammer, but there’s more to them than a rubber handle and a metal head. Estwing’s Sure Strike ham-mers and Stanley’s Anti-Vibe hammers are both great options to replace dad’s worn-out model.

If dad’s do-it-yourself projects are limited to where he can find an electrical outlet, expand his horizons with a new set of cord-less tools. A cordless drill and saw combo kit from DeWalt (Ace no. 2064814) is a fantastic set of high-grade tools from a trusted brand name.

MARRIAGE, MURDER AND MADNESS!MACBETH (August 20th through September 3rd) Shakespeare’s attempt at the horror play! Macbeth is a blast of ghoulish, be-guiling, sardonic theatrical terror. His classic tale of

witches, vaulting ambition, and self-infl icted insanity is tipped on its side in the spirit of a modern supernatural horror fi lm.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM (July 9th through 24th) was the play that debuted the dream of SITV. Sold out audiences thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of viewing outstanding Shakespearean theatre amid the beautiful Temecula Valley Vineyards, under the moon and stars! Midsummer is the shortest and craziest night of the year when mischievous spirits are loosed to create wild and freewheeling dreams among the citizenry; dreams that are not bound by the logic of daytime and normalcy, yet mirror and expand on daily psyches. Exhilaratingly fresh, risky and fun!

“Your Signature of Fine Art & Love”

Jeweler By Design Custom Studio “Your Signature of Fine Art & Love”

Always Handcrafted from Concept to Finish

What is True Custom Jewelry?

Custom jewelry is a uniquely designed piece of artwork to express one’s love and personal creativity. Our goal is to

tailor the jewelry to your satisfaction. All jewelry is unique and hand crafted, which makes it a great gift to show “Your Signa-ture of Fine Art & Love.” When it comes to making a custom piece, in most cases we schedule a private appointment to maxi-mize communication about the complex details it takes to create a custom piece from concept to finish.

True custom jewelry starts with your ideas that stem into a sketch or a CAD rendering. After we seek your approval, we then carve the wax by hand or have our CAM machine carve it out. Then we welcome you back to view the wax prototype for a second approval. The next step consists of the wax pro-totype design being weighed for the correct amount of mate-rial: Platinum, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold; 18kt or 14kt. Next comes spruing and investing. Spruing consists of the wax prototype being attached to a rubber button. The button is then attached to a cylindrical tube called a flask for the next stage, which is investing. During the investing stage an impression of the wax model is created and left to sit overnight. After the in-vestment has hardened it is entered into an oven for the wax burnout. Based on piece size and materials chosen, the time for

this step will vary. On average, 2 to 3 hours will suffice for effec-tive burnout processing. Upon completion of burnout, the flask is removed with tongs and inserted into a centrifugal forced tub. The proper metal is applied for smelting, cleaning and casting. The tube uses centrifugal casting force to impress the liquid met-als on the burnt out wax prototype. When the centrifugal spin is complete, rather then quenching and immersing immediately into the water, which hardens or shuns metals, we use a cooling time of one hour. Then, the precious metal pieces are dug out of the flask with water to dissolve the investment. The piece is then clipped off the spru and dropped into acid to remove the fire scale from casting. Finally, we start cleaning, polishing, and setting. Time will vary depending on the complexity and detail of the client’s project.

Customizing is our specialty at Jeweler By Design Custom. All work is done on premises and same-day repair is available ev-ery day for our clients’ convenience. Master Jeweler, Goldsmith and Designers are always on studio premises during business hours, therefore our clients will never have to deal with any sales personnel. All of our clients have the opportunity to deal only with the jewelers and designers to maximize communication and end result.

Only an hour away from Temecula is just the place to enjoy perfect cool weather along with great activities. Whether you want a getaway just to relax and soak up the sun or

are looking for some new adventures, Oceanside has it all for the whole family.

A good way to start your morning is right on Highway 101 as you enter into town. 101 Café has a good breakfast and lots of history. Established in 1928 as a 20-seat diner, it is the West Coast’s oldest café. If you are really lucky you will run into one of the owners, John Daley, who has lived in the area all of his life and is the local historian.

After breakfast, with three and a half miles of wide sandy beach-es, there are plenty of choices to relax in the sun. Known for its legendary surf conditions, Pier View South beach is where all of the international and local surf competitions are held through-out the summer. It has all the amenities including covered picnic tables, fire rings and barbeques and is within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants.

In between Pier View North and South beaches on Pacific Street is Oceanside Pier with the distinction as the longest wooden pier in California. It’s perfect for a nice leisurely walk while en-joying the amazing coastline view.

Oceanside Harbor lies at the northern end of town and offers a variety of water sports including fishing excursions, kayak and small boat rentals, and sailing charters. Captain Les George of Pacific Coast Sail Charters has over 30 years of experience and offers custom tailored trips for up to six people. His boat, Obses-sion, is a beautiful 39-foot ocean going sailing yacht with all of the comforts and safety equipment. You can sit back and enjoy the ride or jump in and learn to sail the boat. On the south side of the harbor is a Cape Cod style village with shops, restaurants and a lighthouse. It is a good place to pick up a souvenir or sit and watch the boats go by. At the end of the northern harbor is Oceanside Marina Suites and if you are planning to stay over-

night, it’s a beautiful property with marina and ocean views. All the rooms are suites with fully equipped kitchens and private patios. A shuttle boat runs during the summer taking guests around the marina and beach area.

Dinner can be a special occasion with a big selection of fantastic restaurants. One of the top choices is 333 Pacific; an upscale res-taurant with beautiful views of the pier and especially the sunset at the end of a perfect day. Chef Brian Hyre has put together a well rounded menu specializing in steak and fresh seafood dishes.

feature STORY

V an Avery Prep School is a K through 8th grade pri-vate school located on Santiago Road in Temecula. Van Avery grew out of the first preschool in Tem-

ecula, Kid’s World Preschool, which opened its doors in 1976 in Old town Temecula. It offers a rigorous academic program balanced with extracurricular and co-curricular activities for all grades. The staff of credentialed teachers work together in grade level teams to provide a well-rounded educational expe-rience for their students.

Van Avery Prep works closely with the Riverside Office of Edu-cation and participates in the many academic programs pro-vided to both public and private schools throughout the coun-ty. Middle school students have the opportunity to compete in co-curricular events including science, social studies, math, and language arts. The Science Olympiad team has been a state qualifier for the last five years. While the eighth grade We the People Constitution Study team is the regional champion and this year’s runner up at the state level.

The curriculum requires that all students develop a firm foun-dation in phonics, learn the rules of spelling, grammar, and written and oral English. A strong emphasis is placed on de-veloping capable problem solvers that are able to use the lat-est technology to communicate and collaborate with students around the world. Advanced mathematics courses are offered at middle school level allowing graduates to enter high school having completed freshmen and sophomore courses. Also, be-ginning in Kindergarten, students participate in the perform-ing arts with two productions per year. Visual art and art ap-preciation is taught at all grade levels and each year the young artists show off their portfolios of work at the annual art show held in the spring. Students at all grade levels participate in field trips to support the curriculum. Third grade students par-ticipate in the Wild Animal Park’s Roar and Snore sleepover. Fifth grade students participate in the Star of India overnight program. Sixth grade students attend science camp. Seventh grade attends sea camp on Catalina Island, and eighth grade students travel to Camp Ozark.

Primary and elementary grade students also enjoy a host of af-ter school clubs including, Lego Club, Masterminds Chess Club, Crafty Kids Club, American Girl Club, cooking club, YMCA flag football, Mad Scientists, and more. In addition, Van Avery Prep is also a member of the Inland Valley Interscholastic Athletic Association which allows middle school students to compete in three seasons of sports including flag football, volleyball, girls and boys basketball, girls and boys soccer, golf, track and field.

Van Avery Prep sets itself apart from other schools when it comes to community service. Members of the California Ju-nior Scholarship Federation and National Junior Honor Societ-ies are required to complete 15 hours of community service per semester. They are also encouraged to go above and beyond to accumulate between 50-100 hours during the school year to qualify for the Presidential Service Award.

This service is completed through several projects in the com-munity. Students have raised funds, purchased materials and landscaped the Habitat for Humanity homes, raised $8,700 for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, volunteered for the Su-san G. Komen Race for the Cure, hosted Binky Patrol quilt-a-thons to make blankets for children in police care, redecorated rooms at Oak Grove Institute in Murrieta, raised the funds and purchased the flag pole and landscape for the new YMCA on Moraga. These projects are led and managed by the middle school students, but supported with donations from the out-standing families that are part of the Van Avery Prep “family”. Paying close attention to current events, teaching tolerance and empathy along with developing a love for their commu-nity, state and country produces productive citizens. Eighth grade students are put through a two-day leadership-training course that focuses on teamwork, goal setting and challenges students to overcome obstacles at a high ropes course in San Diego. They take those lessons back to campus and lead their mixed grade peer groups in an advisory course and numer-ous team challenges throughout the school year. Middle school students are also nominated by administration to participate in the National Young Leaders of America program that takes them to conferences in Washington, D.C., Boston, and other major cities. Students who participate in this program continue their affiliation throughout their high school and college years.

Another factor that sets Van Avery Prep apart from other schools is its highly qualified, dedicated, and close knit faculty and staff. The teachers at Van Avery Prep go above and beyond to make the education experience an exceptional one. Many of the teachers are members of professional organizations in their subject areas and attend conferences for professional develop-ment throughout the school year. This, along with the dedi-cation of administration, faculty, staff and most importantly, the families, has made Van Avery Prep a stand out school in Southwest Riverside County.

Intrigued by the high praise, Country Review Magazine recently spoke with Black Sheep founder and pastor Marty Edwards about the motorcycle ministry’s journey:

So, Pastor Edwards, when did you first go H.O.G.-wild?I bought my first Harley-Davidson in 1998. As a family, when our kids were younger, we’d go on boating vacations thoughout the years, but, as they began growing older, they had less and less interest in doing that. I kept threatening to buy a Harley. And then one day, I did just that. And it was great. I was a hardworking pastor with The Lamb’s Fellowship in Murrieta and other churches in the area at the time, and I found that getting on my bike, getting out on the road, and feeling the wind on my face was a great stress-reliever even if it was just for a half an hour.

How Black Sheep Harley-Davidson for Christ start in 1999?My bike had a flat tire, and I had called Quaid Temecula to

arrange a pick up. A young man came out to load the bike into the truck, and when we rode back to

the shop, I felt the urge to share with him about Christ. But I didn’t. He died a week later in

motorcycle accident. His death hit me really hard, and I kept thinking about how I hadn’t ministered to him about Jesus when I’d had the chance. I went to

s motorcycle ministries go, spreading the Gospel can be a real Jesus-is-just-alright joy ride.

But, for chopper ministry Black Sheep Harley-Davidsons for Christ, fellowship is not just simply about

a “ready to roll with God” attitude—it’s a gravity-centered soul commitment to help out Harley Owners Group, or H.O.G., biker brothers and sisters in need. Begun in Temecula in 1999 by local pastor Marty Edwards, Black Sheep is the only ministry today whose mission specifically serves H.O.G. members.

Recognizing Black Sheep’s good works in the H.O.G. nation over the last decade, Quaid Temecula Harley-Davidson will be sponsoring its second annual Help Ride motorcycle rally event, October 23 in Temecula, to help raise funds for the ministry.

“Black Sheep has done a lot for the charity events over the years for bikers. They’re always volunteering to help, and they’ve been great about serving the H.O.G. community here,” says Rich Quaid, owner of Quaid Temecula Harley-Davidson, adding that this year’s event will include a Poker Ride. “Last year, Help Ride raised money for a police officers’ charity, but this year we decided to help out Black Sheep because they are one of our own.”

A growing Temecula-based motorcycle ministry keeps its motor running in the biker worldBy Sandra Shrader

On a Harley Wing and a Prayer

A


helping HANDSthe Quaid dealership and asked what I could do, and Rich Quaid let me pray and speak with the employees. After that, a group of us Harley riders from Lamb’s Fellowship started riding together, and we came up with the “Black Sheep” name and logo for a patch. It’s amazingly grown from then to having chapters all over this nation and five other countries.

Why did Black Sheep decide to put its ministry with Harley owners, and not, say, Honda or Suzuki motorcycle owners?Mostly because there had never been a motorcycle Christian ministry group affiliated with Harley-Davidson owners, and H.O.G.s are the largest motorcycle community in the world—some 800,000 members. Traditionally, Harley riding is about a lifestyle, but not in a subcultural way that you might find with other motorcycle groups which come together through prison, outlaw or drug recovery subcultures. There are quite a few motorcycle ministries already for those groups. And, H.O.G. community is pretty diverse because you’ll see a multi-millionaire riding next to the regular guy who has saved for years to buy his Harley. But fifty percent of our mission is to devoted to serving the H.O.G. community, and the other fifty percent is geared to helping bikers in general. So, it’s not like we are going see a downed Yamaha rider bleeding in a ditch somewhere, and then pass right by him without helping!

Among motorcycle groups, there may be a natural wariness about being “preached” to. How does Black Sheep gets its message out?It’s called “earning the right to be heard.” Yeah, sure, bikers are skeptical. Anybody who’s waving a Bible around when he comes into a roomful of bikers who he doesn’t know is going to get either ignored or thrown out. So Black Sheep just does what I call “going low and slow and earning respect as the way to go.” We’re there at hospital visits if a biker’s been hurt, we pick up his crashed bike from impound when we can, we’ll mow lawns if a biker family needs it—whatever is needed, we’re there to show that we’re the real deal.

Motorcycle ministries like Black Sheep really do fill a spiritual vacuum, don’t they?Most churches don’t want bald, tattooed and pierced bikers in their congregation, but everybody needs spiritual guidance some time. I don’t care who you are. Remember, Jesus was in the streets with the people, too. So we just try to share the meaning of the Gospel by example, and it can take years. But then eventually a biker will come up and ask me things like, “Hey, Preacher, can you pray for my old lady? She’s got cancer.” Or, I’m asked to do a biker wedding or say a few words at a biker funeral. I’m still amazed and humbled that God would use me to start this whole thing, and that Black Sheep has been able to make a difference in bikers’ lives.

Those grim statistics cited in Part I begin to tell us a not-so-comfortable story about the odds foster youth face in making it through the gauntlet of growing up. We can re-

member those late teenage-early 20s years and how hard it was: thinking we were invincible, trying so hard to break free from parental authority, rushing into the future because it was our turn. And yet, most of us had the support and encouragement of family. We had a safe place to land when we were bruised or bloodied. We had a place to keep our “stuff,” a home to which we could return, somebody to talk to who had the threads of who we were, and a sense of belonging to a Family. Connec-tions. Not so with foster youth.

Realizing that the risks of successfully transitioning into adult-hood are more perilous for foster youth, the Temecula Area City County School Partnership took the second important step to address this area of concern: they approved a Joint Res-olution to form a Task Force on Foster Youth. This committee has been in place since January 2009. Its job is to study the is-sues, help the public become more aware, identify areas where local governments can work together seamlessly, encourage service organizations and residents to embrace programs that increase the chances for foster youth success, and develop a model program for ourselves as well as other communities. The committee’s focus is to find a way to serve the needs of the Temecula area’s foster youth and their families by forming coalitions/ collaborations that work to reduce or eliminate du-plication, utilize existing resources and coordinate programs that produce healthy, successful, independent adults that can contribute to any community in which they live.

Your Task Force started out doing 7 months of research using caution. The laws are sometimes complicated and daunting. We had to learn what we can and cannot do. We had to fig-ure out all the “systems” involved and who was responsible for

what. We had to understand we’re not helpful when we rush in to try to “rescue” kids or pieces of the system. We had to come to grips with common behaviors that can discourage “helpers.” We had to make sure we weren’t perpetuating any kind of “vic-tim mentality.” We had to make sure we were doing the right things in the right way with the right motivations. Another very important component was that we had to learn about the legal ramifications of a community-based program and what needed to be set in place to cover liability issues.

Our next steps can now involve you. With your help, here’s what we will be achieving over the next year:

» Building a Community Links program (where you may teach groups of kids about any life skill – cook-ing, changing a tire, budgeting, reading & understand-ing contracts, caring for animals, gardening, cleaning a home, stocking a pantry, bicycling, survival skills, nutri-tion – it’s endless)

» Serving as an Educational Rights Holder (advocating for kids on educational issues)

» Preparing for College (searching for a school, filing ap-plications correctly and on time, visiting schools - espe-cially CSUSM and RCC))

» Volunteering to teach or help at one of our family boot-camps (we held a 1-day workshop on financial literacy, and other camps on other topics are welcome – nutri-tion, leadership, etc.)

» Providing “Last Resort Transportation” (if there’s a doctor’s appointment or a job interview or an emergency situation where transportation cannot be found, we would like to see it provided by calling upon qualified adults to help)

» Grantwriting (anybody with experience want to help?) » Furnishing our facility (we’re working on a hangout spot

and a place where we can coordinate our Community Links program)

Do you have a potential guitar star who dreams about rock-ing the house, but your family budget is already too crowd-

ed for music lessons? Don’t despair. With its Kids Rock Free® Musical Education Pro-gram, the Fender Center and Museum of Music and the Arts may be just the ticket for your child to make the musical scene. Located in Corona, the non-profit organization, sponsored by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, provides free and low cost musical instruction in classroom settings to children ages seven to 17 years. The classes not only focus on learning the gui-tar (the instrument which was so revolutionized in the 1940s and ‘50s by Leo Fender’s electric visions), but also the piano, bass guitar, combo band, vocal performance and drums.

“The Kids Rock Free program’s use of classroom settings really does make it fun to learn music,” says Debbie Shuck, executive director with The Fender Center, describing rooms lined with mint-green guitars and lit-up keyboards. “I can’t really explain it, other than to say that it’s just magical how it happens. It’s synergy between the kids and their teacher; it’s one-to-one teaching. The teachers learn about what the kids have to say, and the kids learn from each other, too!” Enrolling in Kids Rock Free can be done either by signing up for 16 weeks (two sessions) of free lessons—there’s currently a one-year wait list and parents must volunteer their time—or, to bypass the waiting period, by the paying low-cost fee of $150 per 8-week session. “With each class time ranging from an hour to hour-and-a-half, the low cost fees are still very affordable,” says Shuck. The program began in 1998 after Corona city and school offi-cials approached the Fender Corporation, whose manufacturing facility in Corona produces high quality electric guitars. Since Fender began sponsoring a musical education program for stu-dents, more than 10,000 kids have participated in the classes.

With summer sessions starting June 21, 2010, Shuck is excited about the Campaign 800 fundraiser making it possible for more kids to follow their musical paths. “Most people don’t know that The Fender Center and Museum is a non-profit organization. They think we’re part of the Fender company,” she says. “Once they find out that we’re a non-profit that provides free music lessons to kids, they think that’s really cool!”

A portion of the funding for Kids Rock Free comes from ad-mission fees to The Fender Center Museum, located in the same building as the classrooms. A unique day-trip destination in its own right, the museum is a guitar nut’s paradise of exhibits of instruments used by Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Dick Dale, Paul Rogers, Kurt Co-bain and other legendary axe men. Also on display is a huge ex-hibit of Johnny Cash memorabilia, the only one of its kind in the country to feature items from the life of the iconic Man in Black. “So popular is the Kids Rock Free program that there are cur-rently 500 students enrolled and a waiting list of approximately 800 kids,” says Shuck, and the center has embarked on a new fundraiser backed by a rock star force to raise money for more beginner, intermediate and beginner classes. “We’re launching a new fundraiser called Campaign 800 to raise enough money to provide classes for the kids still on the waiting list,” says Shuck. “Steve Miller [of the Steve Miller Band] sup-ports the Kids Rock Free program, and, on his upcoming 13-city concert 2010 tour will be urging audiences to donate $10 to the program via texting ‘ROCK to 50555’.”

Every 20 minutes, somewhere around the world, a home constructed or refurbished by Habitat for Humanity is completed. For families to whom home ownership may

otherwise seem like an unreachable goal, Habitat creates op-portunities to reach that dream. Most importantly, H4H gives those families “a hand up, not a hand-out.” Recently Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley purchased ten homes through the government stimulus Neighborhood Stabilization Program. These foreclosed-upon homes in Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Per-ris, Sun City and Menifee will be rehabbed inside and out for (and by!) the families selected by the organization to purchase them. And purchase them they do - based on multiple criteria, H4H screens potential homeowners to make sure they have the ability to pay the mortgage and maintain the home, as well as have the need for the “hand up.” Selected homeowners must be willing to partner with the organization to invest 500 “sweat equity” hours with Habitat, either on their own home, other homes, or in Habitat’s ReStores located in Temecula and Lake Elsinore. Families are partnered with a support liaison that helps to educate and train the new homeowners to ensure the experience is successful. Executive Director Tammy Marine says “the transformation is in the process.”

With a nationwide foreclosure rate on Habitat homeowners of 2%, the organization is doing a lot of things right. Addi-tionally, the goal of Habitat for Humanity is not simply to open the homeownership door to more families, but also to enhance the neighborhoods in which their homes are built or refurbished. Take, for example, the homes that H4H has be-gun rehabbing in our Valley. Prior to work being done, yards were over-grown, paint was peeling and the homes were in various states of disrepair. As the transformation takes place via multi-tudes of vol-

unteer hours, the entire neighborhood benefits from the lack of blight and well-tended yards and houses. H4H Inland Valley does smaller projects through their “Helping Hands” program to assist the elderly and disabled with minor home repairs and light remodeling, such as painting. While they have 1,600 dis-tricts in the U.S., they also do extensive work internationally. A long-time presence in Haiti, H4H has over 50,000 units in this poverty-stricken country. After the earthquake there and in Chile, Habitat response teams quickly assembled to help out.

Habitat for Humanity relies greatly on its volunteer force to ac-complish the great things that it does. From general construc-tion, painting and landscaping to individuals that can advocate for poverty housing, there is something for every type of per-son to do. Donations are always needed at the ReStore locations and volunteer opportunities are available there as well. Groups interested in helping can assemble teams and sign up for a spe-cific day for their team to all work together on a project. Typical workdays on a H4H project will see over 40 volunteers. Lunch is provided for volunteers to fuel the hard work everyone puts into the effort.

helping HANDSMURRIETA PUBLIC LIBRARY

FOUNDATION DEBUTSMURRIETA, CA – The Murrieta Public Library Foundation, Inc., a recently formed non-profit organization, made its debut before an invited group of local leaders including Mayor Kelly Bennett, Council members Doug McAllister, Rick Gibbs, and Gary Thomasian as well as other citizens who have expressed a commitment to the goals of the founding members. The formal introduction was held on March 19, 2010, in the Library which serves as a much used “Gathering Place” for the community.

The President of the Foundation, Juanita Blankenship, wel-comed the attendees and spoke about the creation and goals of the Foundation, including the main endeavor which is to par-ticipate in building a stronger, educated and cultured commu-nity through the Library. She emphasized that obtaining private funding to establish an endowment will augment the Murrieta Library’s ability to meet these needs.

In her presentation, Mayor Bennett expressed gratitude and her support for the formation of the Foundation and their goals to augment the Murrieta Library’s continued development, which will help attract businesses and families resulting in positive growth of the community. Councilman McAllister, who found-ing members recognize as the person who helped plant the seed of developing the Foundation during his term as Mayor, wel-comed everyone in attendance and spoke of the importance of reading for a cultured society.

The Foundation event’s entertainment was provided by pianist Mr. Robert B. Schultz and there was an opportunity drawing for floral arrangements donated by Michael’s Flower Girl and Alb-ertsons. Anthony’s Lounge & Ristorante catered the event. Addi-tional sponsors who made the evening enjoyable include North County Sand & Gravel, BevMo, Bear Creek Golf Club, Callaway Vineyard and Winery, and Bill & Sandi Hargraves.

I water ski - but not like this. I recently had the opportu-nity to meet Men’s World Water Ski Racing Champion Todd Haig, and we talked for a while about the Catalina

Water Ski Race, taking place this year on July 17. Picture this - bobbing around Long Beach Harbor in your ski vest with 90 boats ranging from 18 to 47 feet all around you, 90 plus engines rumbling and bubbling in preparation for a ski race at speeds of 70+ miles per hour - round trip from Long Beach Harbor to Catalina Island and back. The Long Beach fire boat sprays a vibrant mist into the air to let all team members know that the start is imminent, and the boat you are tethered to gets into position and pulls the slack out of the 230-foot rope to which you are connected. All skiers wait anxiously for the flash of the flares that will signal the race’s start. Nervous yet?

For Todd Haig, this is old hat. Todd has participated in this race on and off since he was 9 years old, skiing his first race behind his father and his 18-foot ski boat. Flash forward, and Todd has won this event in the Open Men’s class NINE times. He currently holds the record for the fastest completion time in this event at 50 minutes, 19 seconds. I jokingly asked him if he could walk after the race was over, and he told me that the first couple of times he completed this race, he couldn’t. Due to extensive experience, training and endurance, this isn’t a problem for him now. Most times after I take a 5-10 min-ute spin on my ski at the lake, I can barely crawl back inside the boat. I can’t even fathom 50 minutes and 62 miles at the speeds these boats go.

Todd has been racing with his current team - Driver Randy Davis, Observer Dennis Hall, and Navigator Steve Da-vis - for the last six years. He currently skis behind a 47’ Nordic with twin 1075HP engines, using a 7.7-foot custom DC ski. Wa-ter skiing since he was four years old and beginning competitive racing at eight, Todd’s been doing this for 20 years. A framing contractor by trade, Todd has traveled the world competing in water ski races - Australia, New Zealand, Belgium. It has cer-tainly paid off, as several of the websites I visited while research-ing this story referred to him as a “legend,” or say that he “owns the sport.” Unassuming and down-to-earth, Todd certainly has a love of water ski racing that is apparent when talking with him. When I asked him to describe the experience of the Catalina Ski Race, he described the focus and the goal he keeps in his head throughout the event, and the feeling of accomplishment once it is complete. Also important to him is the group of people he has gotten to know over the years, and the camaraderie as well as competitiveness that comes with it. If Todd wins this event two more times, he will be tied for the record of most wins in the 63-year history of the race. He wants to make it three and “own” the record. Attributing his successes at least in part to his “great team,” Todd is goal-focused and intent. He describes the Catalina race as “unpredictable,” saying that every year the water is different and conditions are different, and that it’s one of the races he looks forward to every season.

Spectators are welcome at the event! Long Beach Harbor, July 17 2010, right next to the Queen Mary. Announcers update the race from helicopters throughout the morning. I, for one, will be there cheering this “legend” on, as he attempts to get another year closer to his goal.

More than just a Beatles tribute concert, Ticket to Ride gives the audience a chance to “be there” at pivotal moments in the extraordinary career of the Beatles – from Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, to the Ed Sullivan Show, Shea Stadium’s 50,000+ screaming fans and their final live performance on the rooftop of their Apple Corp offices. With manager Brian Epstein serving as narrator, Ticket to Ride allows the audience to get a glimpse inside the world of the Beatles from their point of view, as well as hear some of the greatest songs ever written.

by Christy Sanchez

The highly successful British ska band known as The English Beat is coming to wine country on Saturday, July 24th at Wiens Family Cellars for an evening of

great live music, dinner, and dancing in the beautiful Tem-ecula wine country.

The English Beat is a ska revival band founded in England in 1978. Their songs fuse ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock, and their lyrics deal with themes of love, unity and sociopoliti-cal topics. The English Beat released three albums: and a string of singles, including “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “Too Nice To Talk To,” “Can’t Get Used To Losing You,” “Hands Off She’s Mine,” “Save it for Later,” and “Tears of a Clown.”

The English Beat has a sizeable following in North America. They toured the world with well-known artists such as Da-vid Bowie, The Clash, The Police, The Pretenders, REM, The Specials, and Talking Heads. After the break-up of The Eng-lish Beat in 1983, Dave Wakeling (guitar, vocals) and Rank-ing Roger (vocals) went on to form General Public where their single “Tenderness” was a top hit in the US and Canada. Dave Wakeling and The English Beat are touring and playing for sold out crowds across the U.S. Every year this show sells out so get your tickets fast.

To minimize the dreaded aging process, plastic surgery was the only option for the stars of Hollywood in years past. Now you can take years off your appearance via genetic engineering. And, you can do it in your home.

Remember when the thought of being able to alter your DNA read like science fiction? Not so in 2010. Time Magazine recently devoted a cover story and article to this startling new concept entitled: “Why Your DNA is Not Your Destiny”.

Apparently, when we are young the composition of our skin’s DNA is arranged differently.

It is now possible to rearrange your DNA to that of a younger you!!

Imagine a skin treatment that stops the aging process at the cellular level as well as reconstructing your genes so you have the glow of youth! Just 10 minutes twice weekly and you have: less wrinkles, taut neck, tight stomach, smaller pores, tightened arms, decreased cellulite...you can even grow the hair back on your head! And your skin produces elastin again!

And better yet: this skincare regime is based on science

and, as you know, science is exact and verifiable. This is really not “skincare”, it is technology and research from leading universities such as Stanford, Purdue and UCLA.

One can easily understand why the Hollywood crowd is devoted to this new skin regime. There is literally a youthful glow after each treatment. That is why Hollywood cosmetologists insist on treatments before photo shoots or stage performances.

If you want to find out about these startling, scientific findings please stop by Up Your Alley women’s boutique in Old Town Temecula for a free demonstration. We are not at liberty to disclose the name of the corporation responsible for these products but we have sold over 500 systems and our satisfied customers come by regularly to show us their glowing results.

Stop by Up Your Alley today and while you are there check out our huge selection of outrageous summer fashions and accessories...and by the way, isn’t a woman’s face her best accessory?

retro REWIND

In my 30 years of being a DJ, whether it’s been playing at private parties and wed-dings or DJing on the radio at KROQ,

KYSR and now nationwide on Sirius XM’s First Wave, I’ve been fortunate to meet, interview and sometimes even perform with huge music acts from The Police to No Doubt to Depeche Mode. Looking back, I have to say that one of my all time favorites, both as a personality and as a performer, is Dave Wakeling of The Eng-lish Beat and General Public. When Dave last played in Temecula in 2009 I was his opening act and watched in awe as he captured the sold-out crowd with his music and energy and ended up with more than a hundred of the audience members dancing on stage with him!

Dave’s list of hits is seemingly endless and stretches all the way back to 1979. When I was producing the VH1 TV series “Bands Reunited”, The English Beat was at the top of our list to put back together thanks to chart smashes like “Mirror In The Bathroom”, “Save It For Later” “I Confess” “Best Friend” “Ranking Full Stop,” and so many more. And the great thing is that Dave plays them all in concert!! I asked Dave about those early days and he told me that his father was actually the inspiration behind his record-ing one of his hits that went all the way to the Top 5. “My dad said that I was spending too much time writing the songs and that it was taking away from my being a singer. ‘Look at Frank Sinatra’ he said. ‘He knows what he’s doing. He gets other people to write his songs then he goes and hangs out with models and movie stars. That’s what you should be doing. Go and find a clas-sic and then record it yourself ’.” Dave took his father’s advice and put his own special Ska twist on the Andy Williams oldie “Can’t Get Used To Losing You”, the result – the song rocketed up the British charts all the way to the Top 3.

In 1983, Dave decided it was time to end The English Beat – a decision brought on by constant work and touring. In retro-spect, Dave feels that splitting up the group could have been avoided. “We were all just so tired. It had been non-stop for four years, touring, recording, interviews. Just going all the time. We thought we were done with each other, but I think we were just exhausted. If we had taken two weeks off from the grind and sat down with some warm milk and cookies we might still be together today.”

Dave’s dissolution of the band happened on the week leading up to July 4th – his ‘independence day’, he jokes. He put all the rea-sons in writing why it was over for The Beat (as they were known in the UK) and slipped the formal letter of termination under the door of the management’s office that night. There was no going back now as he headed off to the Beat’s final show, opening for David Bowie at a massive festival in Milton Keynes, England. It was also to be the closing show of the European leg of Bowie’s ‘Serious Moonlight’ tour. A week later Bowie was scheduled to hit stadiums in the US, Canada and South America and play to

I’m in. What’s our name?’ I told Roger the two words that were still bouncing around my mind – ‘General Public’.”

So now when you are lucky enough to see Dave in concert you not only get all The English Beat hits but also the best of Gener-al Public, songs like “Tenderness” “Never You Done That” and “Hot You’re Cool” that are guaranteed to get you dancing in the aisles, just like the 100,000 fans did that fateful night when Mr. Bowie watched on.

retro REWINDmore than a million and a half fans. Dave remembers the show all too well. “We went on and played our songs to what seemed like a never-ending sea of dancing people. The more they danced the harder I played, not only because I was getting off on their energy, but also because I knew it was our last show ever – even though the rest of the band had no idea yet. At the end of our set we ran off stage and I bumped into David Bowie. He saw me and said ‘I watched your show.’ I couldn’t speak because Bowie is a legend and we weren’t meant to even talk to him and here he was chatting with me. So he looks at me and says ‘You’re the best opening band I’ve ever had. You’ve got the public out there so ready for me. I want you to come to the States with me and play at all of my dates. We’ll tour the world together with The Beat opening.’ I looked at David Bowie and said something like “YYYEEEESSSSS” or maybe it was just babble that came out of my mouth, I can’t remember. All I knew was I had to retrieve that letter from the management’s office before their lawyers could read it. I jumped in my car and raced to the building – it was nearly midnight when I got there – and of course the door was locked. I broke off a branch from a tree outside and tried to fish for the letter through the mail slot but it stayed just inches out of reach. Finally I gave up and figured this was the way it’s meant to be, no more English Beat and no more David Bowie. As I drove back to my house two words came to my mind and when I got home I called Ranking Roger and said ‘The Beat is over. Want to join my new band?’ Roger paused for a moment and said ‘OK,

Country Review Magazine sits down with Al Borda, CEO of Skin Industries to find out the

makings of a clothing company. By Nod Ruobrah

How long has your company been based in Temecula?We came to the Valley in 1999.

How did you get started in the clothing industry?We started out making Motorcycle graphic kits to replace the stock ones that came from the factory. When we first started we only offered three men’s t-shirts. Now we offer about 200 t-shirts a year. We were not a clothing company at first. We developed into one after the first year since our clothing was in such demand.

Who is your market and are you a global company?Most people think our market is 14 to 24 year olds, both male and female. Which is a big market for us. But our research shows that 30 to 40 year olds is just as big as that younger market. Our research shows that those were our first customers, they were the 20-year-olds who bought back in 1998, and they have stuck with us along the way. Our product is sold in many countries, but I would not consider us a global company yet. Three more years, then people will know who we are.

How many people are making their living [in one form or an-other] from your creation?That’s a hard one to answer. I guess maybe 30 make a living from my brand, but if you consider our vendors and retailers, which make a awful lot of money from our sales, those figures would climb into the hundreds. It puts a lot of stress on me to continue to do well knowing so many people depend on me.

I see your clothes on TV and movies, what celebrities wear it?WOW, you got all the good questions. It’s hard to list off the people that wear the brand. There are some high profile people in films, TV, musicians, Pro Athletes, and just ballers out there that wear SKIN because they say they like me as a person, and that is the ultimate HIGH. These people get free clothes sent to them every

day, but they ask me for my brand. Skin has never just sent clothes to marketing firms or high profile people

in hopes that they might wear it.

Who is your designer? I am the creative director, so everything goes through me. We do have designers on staff that

do a lot of the legwork, buy almost every design is based off elements that I have or had created.

Are the designs personal and do they have any specific meaning?Many of them are personal, but some designs that come out I am not a big fan of. I can’t just do the designs that I like though, we have to reach a very diverse group. Personally, I am not into the black tees like most people. For ink colors we use a lot of Red/ White / Black and Silver, but I am more into earth tones and pop colors so when you see some of those in the line, you know where they came from.

I heard you hang out with some heavy hitters, who are your a-list friends?I feel like a dork answering that question; I don’t judge people off of their status or income, but on how they treat me.

You’re often seen driving around in exotic cars, what are your favorites?Right now my favorite car is my new CL 600 by Mercedes Benz. It’s a V-12 with over 600 Horsepower, black with black wheels, and a stereo system that will make a night club jealous!

I heard you donated one of your custom bikes [chopper] to a local charity, can you tell me about that?I thought the community could use the donation. It went to Help Ride and it was a custom build chopper by the world famous builder, Arlin Ness, valued at about $60,000.

What can people expect in the future from Skin Industries?I am in the process of expanding the brand. Rather than staying a t-shirt company I am developing my brand into a clothing com-pany to compete with Volcom, Billabong, Quicksilver, etc. Thanks for sitting down with us and sharing your history!My pleasure.

Town Temecula along with ongoing mon-etary and service donations to the Race for the Cure and the

Dear Dr. Love,

How do I get bad thoughts out of my head? I am a mother of three and love my family more than anything!

I can’t get the worry thoughts of something happening to one of my kids out of my mind. I play these thoughts out and daydream horrible scenarios. Am I abnormal? Is this unhealthy?

Please Help!

Bad Thoughts,Canyon Lake, Ca

Dear Bad Thoughts,

You are not abnormal. This is why humans are known as the “Worry Animals.” Some people work themselves up to a fren-zy over “Bad Thoughts” which are nothing more than made up situations in their head. Is this unhealthy? Yes, it can be unhealthy; depending on how often/long you allow these thoughts to enter your mind. You may have heard of the “Fight or Flight” mechanism. This is where it gets unhealthy! We all have the hormone adrenaline. When you create bad thoughts, the brain sends adrenaline to your muscles allowing you a boost of strength to fight or get away from danger (as if it were really happening). Hence“Fight or Flight” – your bad thoughts can trigger this mechanism unnecessarily. Blood pressure ris-es, adrenaline flows, you get all worked up for nothing over a made up thought.

Here is how to control it. This is a little trick I like to call, Red Light-Green Light. When bad thoughts begin to enter your mind, picture a stop light pole with the (3) lights: red, yellow, and green. As soon as the bad thought enters HIT the red light “STOP”- change your thought to something pleasant, that you enjoy and picture the green light and proceed on with the good thought. As soon as another bad thought tapers in, (and they will) “RED” light again. This is a simple exercise that works…however, you will have to be consistent and not allow any “Bad Thoughts” to enter. When they do, remember: “Red Light, Green Light”.

Good luck. I hope you find this helpful.

Dr. Love is Dr. Tim Abihider, M.Div.,PhD. If you have a relationship question and you need answers send your question to [email protected]

legal EASE

When I was a kid growing up in the South, my Dad had a nickname for my Mom, “Hav’em over Holly” because she loved to socialize. Well, I take after my

Mom I guess, because I enjoy getting together with friends for beer, wine and a barbeque. However, the fun can come to a screeching halt when someone leaves your party after drinking alcohol. What if they get a D.U.I.? What if they are involved in an accident and injure someone or worse yet kill someone. Will you, the “social host” have any liability? Well, don’t store your grill away and cancel your summer fun just yet because surprisingly an alcohol provider’s damages exposure is severely restricted by express statutory immunity from civil liability.

In California, as well as other jurisdictions, the common law was strict in prohibiting civil actions against those whose dis-pensing of alcoholic beverages caused injury to another. In 1943, an appeal court denied recovery to an obviously intoxi-cated bar patron who claimed that he had fallen off a bar stool and been injured as a result of being served too much liquor. Hitson v. Dwyer, 61 Cal.App.2d 805 (1943). Today, the civil im-munity is statutory and is found at California Civil Code §1714 which states at paragraph (c) that “No social host who furnish-

es alcoholic beverages to any person may be held legally ac-countable for damages suffered by that person, or for injury to the person or property of, or death of, any third person, result-ing from the consumption of those beverages.” The reasoning behind this policy is that consumption of alcoholic beverages rather than the serving of alcoholic beverages is the proximate cause of injuries inflicted upon another by an intoxicated per-son.

By the same token, the immunity statutes do not completely abrogate an ordinary duty of care. For example, a special statute makes the above immunity provisions inapplicable to persons who sell or furnish alcohol to a minor.

PHYSICIANS AGAINST THE QUARRY

Open pit gravel mines in a community change the way people look at that community. It becomes an industrial mecca, a

dumping ground for more of the same. This Mega Mine will pollute and imperil our communities. It is a toxic project!

Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Rainbow, and Fall-brook Medical Doctors say “NO” to a quarry in our communities! Dr. Daniel C. Robbins says, “The Liberty Quarry project is an open pit mine and will increase air pollution, and silica dust will be carried via the pre-vailing winds directly to our valley. This will increase rates of asthma, may eventually lead to cases of chronic nodular silicosis, and will worsen the lungs of our most fragile patients.”

Breathing may be hazardous to your health!

LAUNCH PARTY 2010with Special Guest Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real

The first issue of the new Country Review has finally hit

the stands. Publishers Gregg Hassler and Don Harbour

hosted a launch party for a great crowd at Wiens Family

Cellars. Guests were in for a special concert featuring Willie

Nelson’s son’s band: Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real,

who performed an amazing show. Special guests included

actor Luke Wilson and rock guitarist Erik Turner from

Warrant. Our first issue of Country Review was enormously

enjoyable to work on and our staff looks forward to creating

a publication that represents the best our area has to offer.
