TRANSFER
FACTOR
KEY TO A BALANCED
IMMUNE SYSTEM
by Kurt N. Woeller, D.O.
W
ithout our immune system we cease to exist, and the
weaknesses or malfunctions of the immune system
greatly increase our susceptibility to infections and
degenerative diseases.
One very interesting product for immune support is – Transfer
Factor.
WHAT IS TRANSFER FACTOR?
Transfer factor (TF) was first discovered back in the late ‘40s
with over 3,000 research articles to date supporting its useful-
ness. TFs are immune information that is “transferred” from
one immune cell to another to direct the activity of the immune
system.
Transfer factors are products of white blood cells that have
registered and catalogued specific immune information from
exposure to various pathogens. In pregnant mothers this im-
mune information is passed to their offspring via breastmilk
in the form of colostrum. TFs provide the newborn with ini-
tial immune protection, and help educate their immune system
against pathogens the mother had been exposed to. Immunolo-
gists believe that each microbe has an identifying code that
is registered by the mother’s immune system in the form of
specific TFs.
For our body to be healthy our immune system must be able to
perform three critical functions:
1. Recognize a virus, bacteria, yeast, etc. as a threat –
an enemy to our body.
2. Attack and destroy the enemy.
3. Develop memory against the specific pathogen so
that it can recognize it in the future.
This last step is critical and is what helps us build an immune
library of previous exposures. TF can also help our immune
system be more efficient at controlling chronic infection so
that we are not overly symptomatic.
Kurt N. Woeller, D.O. is Medical Director of Stillpoint Center for Integrative Medicine in Murrieta, CA. You can visit his blog site at
www.AutismRecoveryTreatment.com for FREE medical information. For more information please contact 951-461-4800 or www.mystillpoint.com.
4 | The Country Review August/September 2010
LONG-TERM USE SHOWS GOOD
SAFETY PROFILE
TFs have been used for over 30 years and carry the label GRAS
(Generally Regarded As Safe) by the FDA. Side effects are
minimal, but in a severely immune compromised individual
with a high-viral load, fever, malaise, body aches, etc., may
occur initially with use. TFs activate a particular immune cell
called Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells). NK cells are responsi-
ble for attacking cancer or virally infected cells. In many indi-
viduals with chronic illness, including children on the autism-
spectrum, the activity of NK Cells is compromised. TF helps
to prompt these cells into action.
HELPFUL FOR MANY CONDITIONS
Listed below are some of the conditions TFs have been known
to be helpful for:
• Allergy
• Asthma
• Autoimmunity
• Cancer
• Chronic upper respiratory infections –
lungs, ears, sinuses
• Cold and Flu
• Digestive problems (constipation, diarrhea)
• Eczema – and other inflammatory skin conditions
• Immune dysfunction – including NK cell activity,
high viral loads, etc.
I have been using TF with good success for years to help
strengthen immunity for less repeated illnesses, as well as a
broader use for chronic infections. TFs have usefulness for in-
dividuals needing more immune balance and support.
Dosing recommendations – start low, go slow and allow for the
product to take effect over time.

TANNING INDOORS – MORE BENEFICIAL THAN ONCE THOUGHT
I
n recent years it has become commonplace for one to read
a newspaper article or see an evening news story about the
dangers of UV exposure. The response to these stories: a “sun
phobia” that, according to us.news.com has left an estimated
45% of Americans Vitamin D deficient and in critical need of the
very thing dermatologists have so fervently fought. According to
Dr. Eric Madrid, M.D, research indicates that proper Vitamin
D levels show a high correlation to prevention of heart attacks,
multiple sclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, breast cancer
and colon cancer (breast and colon cancer are among the most
dangerous types of cancer).
According to the Vitamin D council, the leading group actively
researching Vitamin D and its effects says that the majority of
Americans are Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D can be supple-
mented in the form of pills, fortified milk or orange juice. The
inherent problem with these supplementations is that to con-
sume the FDA recommended amount of 4,000-5,000 IU’s (In-
ternational Units) one would have to take between 10-15 400mg
Vitamin D tablets or consume 40-50 glasses of milk daily.

6 | The Country Review August/September 2010
The third option to increase Vitamin D levels is the most natu-
ral way. Doctors recommend 10-15 minutes of unprotected sun
exposure every single day. Dr. Mercola, M.D, an avid supporter
of the benefits of UV exposure warns of the risks of tanning
outside in natural sunlight. “Tanning in the natural sunlight is
a great thing but has inherent risks because individuals often
do not monitor their exposure and natural sunlight has a very
high concentration of UVB (also known as the burning ray).”
Dr. Mercola is one of the increasing number of the medical doc-
tors that has become a proponent of indoor tanning. “Tanning
indoors allows individuals to experience a properly monitored
and documented tanning exposure. In addition, contemporary
tanning salons with newer equipment will have machines that
emit a lower amount of UVB. UVB, although it is considered
the ‘burning ray’ is the very same ray that produces Vitamin D.
So it is imperative that tanning beds emit a properly calibrated
amount of UVB that serves to give the individual the healthy
benefits of Vitamin D, while avoiding overexposure.”

IS BEING FAT
KILLING US?
by Erik Lundquist, M.D.
T
wo in three people reading this article are overweight or
obese. Our over-consumption of nutrient poor foods will
ultimately result in more heart disease, strokes, diabetes,
arthritis and various cancers, including breast and colon. The
cost to our healthcare system is in the billions. The loss of our
quality of life associated with poor health is priceless. And the
sad truth is , most of it is preventable. A little motivation and the
proper guidance is crucial to health and longevity.
Many of the diseases Americans face are diseases of affluence
and even gluttony. The US ranks first in prescription medication
use worldwide but 37th in overall health care status. NOTE: Dis-
ease is not the result of a prescription drug deficiency. Although
we have the best doctors, the best hospitals and best technology
in the world, why are we so sick?
Since we have easy access to inexpensive non nutritious foods
in modern America, we are now paying the price for the poor
treatment of our bodies. We have been eating chemicals and
substances in our foods that we were never designed to eat. At
the heart of this problem, pun intended, is something called the
Metabolic syndrome, previously known as syndrome X. Chanc-
es are, you or someone you know has this condition.
Metabolic syndrome is present if you have any three of the fol-
lowing five conditions.
1. Elevated triglycerides >150
2. Low good cholesterol (HDL <40)
3. Elevated blood pressure (>130/80)
4. Increased waist size (men waist circumference >40 inches
and for women > 35 inches).
5. Fasting blood sugar >100
If you are taking blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol medi-
cine, you also probably have metabolic syndrome.

Having those exposes and predisposes our bodies to increases
in toxins stored in fat tissue, thickening of our blood vessel walls
and ultimately a premature death. Prevention and reversal is key.
CAN WE REVERSE IT?
YES! But we need to change the food we eat, how those foods are
prepared and how they are stored.
Metabolic syndrome develops as our body attempts to process
excess sugar and fat obtained from a poor diet of processed
foods, saturated fats and fried fatty foods (i.e French fries) as
well as exposure to toxins from food preservatives and the envi-
ronment. The more excess sugar and animal protein that is con-
sumed in the diet, the more that body produces fat molecules
called triglycerides. Our body transports and stores the excess
calories in fat tissue.
This extra fat tissue then begins to secrete hormones that affect
the way our body metabolizes foods and affects our ability to
use insulin, an essential hormone for blood sugar control. HDL
(good) cholesterol levels often drop when blood sugar is poorly
controlled. HDL is essential in repairing oxidative damage to
blood vessel walls and preventing clogged arteries which can
lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Toxins from our diet arise from how our bodies metabolize un-
natural substances such as trans fatty acids and high fructose corn
syrup. Unfortunately, these substances are found in thousands
of processed food products. The byproducts lead to increases in
free radicals that can damage the blood vessel wall. These toxins
as well as persistent organic pollutants found in many pesticides
and plastics (BPA) accumulate in fat tissue and change our DNA.
Genes for cancer prevention, fighting against inflammation and
infection as well as for hormone production can be turned off
while others that form chronic diseases are turned on.
The miracle of the body is that it has an amazing capacity to heal
itself when given the chance. There have been several studies
that show that a whole foods diet of fruits and vegetables, rich
in phyto chemicals (essential healing nutrients found in plants)
help to restore normal function and metabolism.
One such diet is the Mediterranean diet, a diet rich in fish, veg-
etables, whole grains and olive oil. Studies have shown that it
reverses metabolic syndrome and ultimately has the capacity to
reverse heart disease.
If you are overweight or obese, I challenge you to make an ap-
pointment with your physician and get evaluated metabolic
syndrome.

TASTE OF WINE
By Ken Zignorski

As we enter the middle of summer, Temecula Valley’s grapes are

coming alive as they work their way to maturity for the Valley’s  
upcoming harvest for the 2010 year.

By Memorial Day, most all grapes have “budded” in the vine-

yards – small, embryonic grape clusters form and start their an-
nual growing process. Farm crews go out into vineyards to prune • Wedding Cakes • Custom Cakes
and tuck up the vineyard leaves to form over-arching canopies • Pastries • Desserts • Cupcakes

exposure while providing some cooler temperatures for the
grapes to grow. �

Shortly, as the end of July approaches, the “veraison” process will 29955 Technology Drive, Suite 109
start with the Valley’s grape production. This can be seen most Murrieta, CA 92563
prominently with red grapes as they will start to change color, (951) 677-9101
going from their original green color to their final red/purple �
color (white grapes will transition to a golden/pale yellow color). �
Veraison lets us know that the grape ripening process has begun, �
and this is where many developments occur in the grape itself. WWW.SWEETLAYERSCAKES.COM
Fruit acidity will start decreasing. The volume of water entering
the grape reduces and as a result there is an increase in sugar
�
concentration in the grape. As ripening continues, the grape !
!
changes from being acidic to being sweet with fruity aromas.
Further, herbaceous aromas developed before “veraison” begins
to decrease as well.

Once veraison occurs, the farming crew will inspect the red
grapes. As for those clusters that do not fully transform during
the veraison process, ideally, they will be cut from the vine and
plowed back into the ground. We want to avoid having those
grape clusters mixed in with the fully “veraison-ized” clusters for
the upcoming grape crush and wine.

From here, the Brix will be monitored – “Brix” being the “sugar
content” of the grape itself. During August and September, we
will collect 100 berry samples from different parts of the vine-
yard, crush them up and determine the grape’s Brix level. Once
the Brix level reaches 24-28 (depending on the varietal) this is
our general indication that it’s time to harvest the grapes. Brix
is an important measurement as the alcohol content of a wine
is generally half of the Brix level - so if the Syrah grapes have a
Brix level of 28, the resulting alcohol content will be at least 14%.

In the next issue, we will look at what takes place during harvest
and the grape crush phase.

WINE WITH A SOUL By Judy Contreras
Old Town Temecula has a new addition. Lorimar Winery has opened a
Tasting Room on Main Street. I had the pleasure to sit down with Own-
er, Mark Manfield, who told me he was born and raised in the restaurant
business in Kansas City. He moved to Los Angeles and after a successful
stint in the real estate industry, he then came out to Temecula looking
for property and fell in love with the beauty of Temecula Wine Country.
So he decided to put his love of the hospitality industry and his develop-
ment knowledge to work with the creation of a winery.

Mark, along with his business partner, Lawri Lipton, are building Lori-
mar Winery on Anza Rd. just north of Rancho California Rd. The pro-
jected opening of the winery is early summer 2011. It will be Tuscan
inspired including a tasting room, a tower, and intimate wine tasting
area for wine club members. A Wedding lawn will be part of the prop-
erty along with event areas.

After seeing a need to have another location to visit in the evening af-
ter the wineries close, the tasting room in Old Town Temecula seemed
a natural fit. Music and art play a big part in the focus of the tasting
room with music every other Saturday night and rotating art shows by
local artists.

The main goal of Lorimar is to give the wine, tasting room and winery
a soul. Mark believes music and wine have a lot in common…they both
are created…leave a unique memory…and make you feel good.

ome people might not think of fundraisers as entertaining.
Yes, the main goal is raising funds for a cause, however, en-
tertaining the guests is important. Charity events come in
all shapes and sizes: galas, 5ks, concerts, dinners and auctions to
name a few. Lets talk about a silent auction because we are in the
middle of planning one, The Our Nicholas
Foundation’s five year anniversary. Plan-
ning a charity event has challenges and
aspects that a regular event does not. One
challenge being funds – the goal is to raise
money not spend It, so trying to plan a
great event with little funds can be chal-
lenging. This is where wonderful spon-
sors step in to support you. Most charity
events could not happen without the
generosity of sponsors. Another is man
power, finding and organizing volun-
teers to do something that might not
be their expertise can be a challenge, yet
these people are priceless for the help and support they provide.
The key to both of these areas is planning. Give yourself enough
time, plan well and keep your team organized with specific goals.
The aspect that is wonderful about charity events is the camarade-
rie. A group of people coming together out of the goodness of their
hearts to get something accomplished. If you have not volunteered
for a charity event I highly recommend it. The satisfaction, warmth
and fun you experience is like no other.

hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and was able
to have at least one BBQ with family and friends. In this edi-
tion we’re moving from the intimate backyard event and “go-
ing big for a cause”…
One of the key factors with any fundraising event is to keep the
cost low but still create an inviting setting. Each event should have
its own style that welcomes guests with something new and ex-
citing. If the organization has a theme, it should be incorporated
into the overall design and choosing a color palette will aid in the
overall look and feel of the event.
For Our Nicholas Foundation’s event last fall the centerpieces
needed to do double duty because they were being used to serve
dessert as well as highlight the tables. The centerpieces were a
mixed design, with multiple pieces that came together to complete

their gorgeous ranch estate. Last year we were surrounded by lush
green groves of citrus and avocadoes so we incorporated this fabu-
lous view into our theme and focused on farm fresh food. Infor-
mation on ONF was placed around the event with posters of Our
Nicholas Kids, speeches by families, supporters and video.
Auction – Silent auctions are generally made up of donated gift
baskets for your guests to bid on. When laying
out your silent auction have sections la-
beled for guests to identify items that in-
terest them Spa, Vacation, and Sports are
great examples and having an MC talking
up your items is helpful! This is a labor
intensive scenario both before and during
the event, so having a great auction team
is extremely important. A less involved op-
tion is raffle baskets when guests purchase
raffle tickets and pop into a box in front
of the items they want, (the more they put
in the better their chances) this creates less
work for your team behind the scenes and
might be a good option if you are just starting out.
There are many more items to think about: ticket sales, parking,
check in and out, flow, layout, entertainment and presentations. So
enlist the help of many good hearted energetic people to help and
much luck on a successful event!
the overall look. Glass pillars or cubes filled with orchids were
placed in the middle of the table for plates full of desserts to sit
on. A Manzanita branch with an orchid accent was then placed
between the pillars or cubes and two candle designs completed the
look. Brightly colored orange, green and yellow orchids were used
as statement pieces in the centerpieces.
When planning any large event it is important to make sure that
the look and style of the event flows. Throughout the Our Nicholas
event there were lanterns covered in orchids and two large sprays
placed on wall sconces. Staying sensitive to the overall cost, some
elements utilized larger amounts of floral to really draw attention
to areas like the check in table or food stations while others had
only a floral accent. As guests made their way around to the dessert
area they were constantly met with touches of floral that added to
the overall feel of the event.
The same design ideas can be utilized at home to create a memo-
rable setting for dinner parties or events. In your house you will
probably find pieces that can be mixed together to create a modern
and eclectic look. With a little floral creativity any event can be
memorable.

going GREEN

by Tim Daniel

B
y the time you read the first paragraph of this story, there are events happening around America that are changing lives. The
wonder of a newborn baby being born and the tragedy of someone being assaulted. Hey, it’s America, anything can hap-
pen. The land of opportunity and adversely, misfortune. However, something else that is happening that many American’s
don’t pay too much attention to – How many empty plastic water bottles are floating around our land that are not being recycled?
So from the first word to this point there have been 6,000 plastic bottles littered in the streets, fields and landfills of our country.
Bottles that can be recycled.

I don’t consider myself a too much of a tree-hugger nor will you see me sit in on a picket line in front of a fur factory but one
thing that does catch my attention are the statistics. The numbers that impair our country’s opportunity to successfully adhere to
go green. Really green!

TAKE SOME TIME TO PONDER THESE ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS:

• Paper makes up of 36% of our solid waste. The burning
of paper gives off air pollution, while the recycling of
paper cuts our waste load over a third, and saves for-
ests.
• About 80% of what Americans throw away is recycla-
ble, yet our recycling rate is just 28%. – The Environ-
mental Protection Agency.
• Recycling creates 6 times as many jobs as landfilling.
• The energy saved each year by steel recycling is equal
to the electrical power used by 18 million homes each
year - or enough energy to last southwest Riverside
County residents for six years.
• If every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 1,000
sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissues with 100% recycled
ones, we could save: 373,000 trees, 1.48 million cubic feet
of landfill space, and 155 million gallons of water.
• If every newspaper printed just for one Sunday edition
for The New York Times were to be recycled, we would
save 75,000 trees.
So, as you have read this story from the beginning to its near completion, there have now been over 120,000 plastic bottles lying
around this country not in a place where they should be – A Recycle bin.
• By recycling all of your newspapers for one year, you
alone can save four trees, 2200 gallons of water, and
fifteen pounds of air pollutants.
• Energy saved from one recycled aluminum can will op-
erate a television set for 3 hours, and is the equivalent
to half a can of gasoline.
• One compact fluorescent lamp contains a hundred times
less mercury than is found in a single dental amalgam
filling or old-style glass thermometer, according to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• A switch to one compact fluorescent lamp would save
an average household about 50 U.S. dollars a year in
electricity bills, according to government estimates.
• A study of apple farming published in the April 19,
2001, issue of Nature has found organic orchards can
be more profitable, produce tastier fruit at similar yields
compared to conventional farming, and be better for the
environment.

Make It Your Mission
Mission San Luis Rey de Francia offers a serene and elegant peek into the Golden State’s unique history
By Sandra Shrader
A
s time machines go, Mission San Luis Rey
de Francia is a real beauty.
But it’s certainly not frozen in time.
Visitors to the Mission and its church,
a national historic landmark located in
Oceanside, will be pleasantly surprised to
discover the authentic storytelling gears
of “The King of the Missions” run so
smoothly that one may just forget this is
the 21st century!
A working historical site today, Mission San Luis Rey, which
Franciscan padres founded in 1798 under Spain’s plans to colo-
nize the New World, displays more than two centuries of Cali-
fornia history. With its gorgeous Spanish Colonial-styled church,
well-tended and historical grounds, spiritual retreat, cemetery
and museum of artifacts and religious art, the mission continues
to draw people from far and wide.
“Not only was Mission San Luis Rey the most prosperous Mis-
sion of the 21 missions established in California, it’s believed to
have been the largest building structure in California until the
mid 1900s,” says Bradford Claybourn, museum curator for Mis-
sion San Luis Rey.
“The cupola on the church served as a beacon of light for miles
around,” he adds. “It was a tradition of the Franciscan padres to
welcome travelers and pilgrims, whether from land or sea. So it’s
great that after all this time, the Mission is still a place that people
want to visit.”
One of the highlights of a Mission San Luis Rey excursion is the
museum, a treasure trove of California’s past. The self-guided tour
takes visitors through various rooms which serve as time portals
to life in the different eras of the Mission’s history, beginning with
a large room of artifacts from Native American peoples—later
called Luisenos—who were essentially conscripted for construc-
tion and agriculture because “without the Luisenos, the mission
would never have been built,’” explains Claybourn.
There are also displays of mission life during Spanish and Mexi-
can rule, the brief Californio era, and finally American govern-
ment, including some original clothing of the padres, books, mili-
tary weapons, agricultural tools, and everything needed for daily
living. A nearby building houses a splendid collection of religious
art and antique vestments. And the church, in which services are
presently conducted for weddings, funerals and special Masses,
26 | The Country Review August/September 2010
is a magnificent exam-
ple of Spanish, Moorish
and Baroque architec-
ture and design with its
domed ceiling, hewn
beams, painted sanc-
tuaries, and Madonna
Chapel.
Adding to the charm
of Mission San Luis
Rey are its gardens, in which grows California’s first pepper tree.
Planted in 1830 from seeds brought from Peru by sailors, it now
has a trunk that measures 44 feet in diameter. Also, on the 56-acre
grounds is an original portion of the adobe arch and wall that led
to the lavanderia, a sunken garden which drew water from the
nearby San Luis Rey river and served as the place to wash clothes.
Beginning in 1892, Mission San Luis Rey has undergone sev-
eral renovations, but complying with California’s strict seismic
retrofit requirements is posing a huge burden—estimated by
mission officials to cost $8 million—for the adobe-brick-con-
structed building.
“A large part of our revenue comes from school districts for 4th
grade field trips because they’re learning about early California at
that grade,” says Claybourn, explaining that the Mission does not
receive funding from the San Diego Catholic Diocese nor does it
receive any state or federal funding for general operations.
“We generate our revenue from private donors and bequests, our
museum tours, weddings, funerals, the Retreat Center, and our
cemetery which is open to all faiths.”
But that is not enough to cover the cost of operating and main-
taining the historic site, he explains. A grant from the Federal
program “Save America’s Treasures” will help fund the retrofit for
the Mission Church, but matching funds must be raised before
the grant expires in Fall, 2010.
So plan your next day trip for Mission San Luis Rey de Francia.
Not only is the admission fee ($6 for adults, $4 for youth, free for
children under age 5) a cheap price to get a fascinating glimpse
into a California of long ago, you will be helping to preserve the
past for the future. And, when you leave, you’ll even be able to say
“mission accomplished.”
The San Luis Rey Mission is located at 4050 Mission Avenue, Oceanside,
California 92057. For more information about the mission and the mu-
seum hours, visit www.sanluisrey.org or call 760-757-3651

INISHING OUCHES
E
yebrows don’t just frame your eyes, they frame your face.
A pair of perfectly shaped eyebrows can be like a facelift
without the expense of surgery. You shouldn’t trust just
anyone to shape them. Eyebrow shaping is an art and requires
skill not attained by all estheticians and waxers. You wouldn’t
dream of cutting your own hair, so go to a professional brow
artist.Just because someone is an awesome facialist or even
the best Brazilian waxer in town doesn’t mean they’re a Brow
Artist. Make sure the person shaping your brows specializes
in brow shaping and get a referral if necessary. Ask people you
know if they know of or have heard of anyone that specializes
in eyebrow shaping.
You can even try Google or social and review sites like Yelp or
Facebook. Once you’ve found someone to wax you, take a good
look at their eyebrows. The shape of her brows is a good indica-
tion of the shape you can expect to get. A true brow artist will
want to be a walking advertisement for herself. Ask about her
experience and how long she’s been doing eyebrows. Eyebrows
can be very funky and tempermental. Someone with years of
beauty & the BEAT
experience will have encountered many kinds of brows and will
know how to tame them and work with all their quirks. Make
sure your design involves trimming and tweezing. Most brows
need some simple cutting, but all brows need tweezing.
Tweezing is the only way to precisely get to those hairs closest
to your brow line. This is where the true artist will come out!
One shape does not fit all your brows are special and unique.
Your brow specialist should treat your brows as a work of art so
a little time should go into your initial shaping. Once you’ve got
your intial shape, plan on maintainence visits with your Brow-
girl every 3-4 weeks. Try to stay away from doing your own
maintenance at home. It’s very easy to get carried away when
doing it yourself! The final step to obtaining your perfect brow
is the use of brow makeup. Don’t be afraid to use powders, pen-
cils, or gels. A brow artist should be able to show you the best
product for you and its proper application. Not using proper
cosmetics is like styling your hair with no product.
After all is said and done, you should be receiving compli-
ments! Get your brows waxed by a brow specialist and you too
CAN have perfect eyebrows!

Putting the Puzzle
of Autism Together
O
ur Nicholas Foundation is celebrating their 5th An-
niversary this year helping local children and families
impacted by Autism. As always, they continue to be
a 100% volunteer-ran organization and pay no salaries. They
are a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation and take pride in putting
every dollar available back into the Autism community.
Our Nicholas Foundation was founded in honor of Mark and
Kathy Anselmo’s son, Nicholas, who was diagnosed with au-
tism in 2004. Their initial goal was to help support the teachers
and therapists that were visiting their house for Nick’s therapy
and the Temecula Pre-school Special Needs program. When
Nicholas was diagnosed, Autism wasn’t as well-publicized as it
is now. Many times Mark and Kathy felt completely lost, con-
stantly looking for “quick-fixes” and solutions. They soon re-
alized that early intervention was the key and wanted to help
fill this need by equipping the teachers with the tools that they
need. As time progressed, they found more and more families
impacted by this challenging diagnosis. The need has exploded
locally, with over 800 households impacted in the Temecula
Valley alone. With this large need and limited budgets, they
realized quickly the need for larger fundraising and the first
“Auction for Autism” was born in 2005. They have been
amazed at the community’s commitment to this cause
and can’t thank them enough. They have also been
recognized by Temecula Chamber of Commerce as
a nominee for Charity of the Year over the last three
years and fortunate enough to be honored by
Cure Autism Now/Autism Speaks as a
“Local Hero”. Mark was also recognized
as the Temecula “Citizen of the Year”
for 2008.
28 | The Country Review August/September 2010
Being parents of a wonderful child with au-
tism, Mark and Kathy know the diagnosis of
Autism can cause many trials, not only emotion-
ally, but financially as well. They have made the commitment
to never charge for any program and don’t plan on ever doing
so. Every program is provided via their fundraising. If you want
to walk along side of them and help us fundraise, wonderful…
if not, no worries at all…they know how challenging and busy
life can be at times. Mark and Kathy have gone through the
stages of Autism, including denial, grief and acceptance…and
they still battle those challenging moments. They just want
other families to know that there are others out there going
through the same thing and that they can help one another.
Over the past five years, ONF has purchased and delivered over
2000 items for the local school districts…from speech and oc-
cupational therapy tools, laptops and other technology, PECS
software and more. They were even fortunate enough to build
out three sensory integration classrooms. All of this has been
amazing, but even more exciting programs and initiatives have
blossomed out of all of this…
ONF’s initial goal of classroom support has been a great suc-
cess and they still continue to fill teacher “wish lists”, but have
grown to so much more and they wanted to let you know what’s
available to you, your family and friends who may need help!
Here are some of the areas that are currently available…
PEER BUDDIES – “NICK’S SIDEKICKS”: We have seen
first-hand the impact of a friendship forged between a “typi-
cal” child and a child with autism. Not only does this allow for

inclusion for the autistic child, but teaches understanding and
compassion to the typical child. ONF has provided t-shirts and
sweatshirts for a program at Gardner Middle School and pro-
vided funding for a year-end carnival for the Paloma “Panther
Pals” as a couple of examples. We hope to help expand this pro-
gram in every school from Pre-K to High School. If you want a
program at your school, let them know and they will meet with
your principal to discuss it!
feature STORY
completely soak in the event and this will be provided by some
wonderful TVUSD Special Needs Teachers and Aides out of the
kindness of their hearts. Space will be limited, so reserve a respite
care spot early.
In order to maintain these programs, ONF has different events
throughout the year. If you have a desire to help ONF continue
to grow and provide these programs, here are some ways…

ONF PLAY DATES: They know how challenging it is to find
groups to play with and not worry about “fitting in”. There were
many lonely moments for Mark and Kathy when Nick was
younger and it is very important to them to build out a pro-
gram for every child in different age groups. Our
play dates have been going wonderfully and
provide great friendship opportunities not
only for the child, but for parents as well. If you
are interested in organizing one of these with
their help, please let them know!
ONF SUPPORT GROUPS: It is important to have
people that understand what you are going through.
They are also expanding this to provide for different age
levels as well. Within ONF’s current support group, there
are areas that include BioMed, Gluten/Casein Free Diet,
Dad’s & Mom’s Night Out, IEP support leaders and more! It
is growing exponentially and they would love to have you as
part of it!

CORONA DIALS UP NEW WAYS
TO COMMUNICATE WITH CITY HALL
by Don McAuliffe
I
n less than a year, Corona has become the leading purveyor of
news and information in the sprawling city of over 150,000.
Last month, the city’s Inner Circle Corona electronic news-
letter celebrated its first anniversary with more than 45,000
subscribers who receive regular updates on fun and interesting
things going on in Corona. Its online circulation is more than
all the daily newspapers that serve the area combined.
“It’s a great tool to get the news out,” says Daniel Rittatore, the
city’s Economic Development project coordinator and Inner
Circle Corona editor who puts out two issues a month and
allows subscribers to receive regular updates. “The InnerCir-
cleCorona.com website and newsletter has created a sense of
place electronically by providing the right kind of content to
engage our residents and businesses.”
In less than five minutes, readers can check out all the fun news
and information about Corona they need. Whether it’s classes,
concerts or features on interesting local people, Inner Circle
Corona has it all.
“The intriguing thing about this process is that the e-newsletter
has spawned other online and technology services that have
added to the city’s quality of life,” Rittatore explains.
In one short year, the newsletter has evolved and created more
web 2.0 services for the community beyond its original tech-
nology footprint, including ShopCorona.com, a virtual vehicle
to promote local retail sales and SeeClickFix, a free smartphone
application. All have the capability to allow residents to com-
municate their concerns directly to City Hall. The Inner Circle
Corona also has a presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and
Vimeo.
Rather than isolate people, the technology that went into the
Inner Circle Corona is actually helping to bring folks together.
“I’ve enjoyed receiving the Inner Circle Corona e-newsletter,”
says subscriber Nancy Lloyd. “It’s a bit ironic that new tech-
30 | The Country Review August/September 2010
nology makes a diverse, geographically spread-out city into a
small-feeling, cohesive town.”
The Inner Circle Corona comes out on the first and third Mon-
day of each month so that residents can stay abreast of what
Corona City Council has on its agenda at their semi-monthly
meetings. The city also provides live online streaming of its
council meetings so residents can see their government in ac-
tion firsthand via the Internet from the comfort of their own
home or office.
The Inner Circle Corona is just one of the ways that the City of
Corona is making government work better for its citizens and
businesses.
Corona also is the first city in the Inland region of Southern
California and one of only ten in the nation to use photos taken
by smart phones to more efficiently communicate citizen con-
cerns to city hall.
“They simply take out their smart phone and snap a picture,”
Corona Redevelopment Agency Director Darrell Talbert said.
“Once it arrives in City Hall, it turns into a work order and is
electronically delivered to crews in the field.”
When the problem is resolved, the reporting community mem-
ber receives an email from the City via SeeClickFix letting them
know that the issue has been “fixed.”
Bernice Garcia likes it. “Welcome...to this amazing new way
of improving the quality of our community!” she wrote on the
SeeClickFix web site at seeclickfix.com/corona after trash cans
painted with graffiti on Village Loop Drive were repainted.
Smart phone reports range from dead trees and unsightly yards
to broken sprinklers, illegal dumping broken street lights and
graffiti.
Talbert sees the service as another way to empower citizens and
businesses to better communicate with City Hall and for every-
one to take more pride in their community. “It’s a perfect use of
technology,” he says.
Corona’s leaders view technology as a way to make city govern-
ment more efficient and enhance municipal services at a time
when many communities have to cut back because of budget-
ary pressures.

R e d i s c o v e r i n g
W F a l l b r o o k By Judy Contreras
hat comes to mind when you think of Fallbrook? Yes,
that’s what I thought, too. Not much, really, except that it
is a small quiet town with a lot of avocado groves around
it. Yes, I knew about it from my last career in outside sales. It had
been part of my territory and I visited it about once a month to
see a client or two. But I never bothered to get out of my car and
walk around downtown or to find out anything more about the
surrounding area.
Well, that has all changed now! I can proudly say I took the time
to park my car and soak up the atmosphere. What I found was
a town with art and music being its biggest passion and friendly
people who enjoy the slower pace of life. I did find that most of
the businesses are closed on Sunday, so I found the best days to
visit are Friday or Saturday.
The downtown area on Main Avenue is a fun place to walk. A
good place to start is Caffe Primos where you can get a Cappuc-
cino or latte and a pastry to start your day. It’s the town gathering
place where you are sure to run into a local who can give you
some tips or history about the area. From there walk north and
you will find Chattels, a home décor shop with an eclectic mix
of original silk arrangements and décor items. Next door is Fall-
brook Art Center, a hybrid of a non-profit museum and gallery
with rotating exhibits. In the back of the gallery is the quaint Café
des Artistes, with a mostly organic menu and is a great place to
return to later for lunch or an afternoon soda fountain treat.
Around the corner on Alvarado Street is the Gem and Mineral
Society’s Museum. It has an interesting collection and is definite-
ly worth visiting. Back on Main Avenue, walking north, you can
stop by several other shops and galleries and admire some of the
historical buildings. When you turn around and walk back south,
cross the street and be sure to check out the nostalgic architecture
of the circa 1948 Mission Theater. It now is host to local theatri-
cal events throughout the year.
Further down on the east side of the street is A Few of our Favor-
ite Things with a wide selection of collectibles, gifts and home dé-
cor items. Also include a stop at Wee Little Sprouts for clothing,
toys or gifts for babies and children and Yesterdays for garden gift
baskets. Both Blue Heron Gallery and Brandon Gallery are on
the same block and feature local and regional artists.
At Alvarado Street go east and walk a little over a block to Fall-
brook School of the Arts. They offer tours of the school where
our TOWNS
you can see working artists and look at ongoing exhibits. After the
tour, walk back to Main Avenue and take a look at more quaint
shops on the way back to the car.
There are a lot of things to see and do in the surrounding areas as
well. If you are in the mood to soak up the natural beauty, Los Jil-
gueros Preserve is just the spot. Located on South Mission Road
just south of Downtown Fallbrook, it has trails and gardens that
are well maintained. It features drought resistant plants and sev-
eral ponds.
If golf is your thing, Pala Mesa Resort offers a beautiful tree lined,
award winning 18 hole course and the resort offers a Stay and Play
package. Another choice is Fallbrook Golf Club in Gird Valley
with mature Live Oaks and Sycamores accenting the course.
Wine is also produced in the area and Fallbrook Winery has
a tasting room located in their aging cellar. You do need an ap-
pointment, so call ahead.
Looking for a good way to end your day? Dinner at Fresco Grill
is an excellent choice. It is located a little further south in Bonsall,
but worth the drive. It features freshly prepared Italian selections,
a full bar and a casual, friendly atmosphere.
After my day in Fallbrook I have a new love of this peaceful, nos-
talgic town and I hope you will re-think your perceived idea of
Fallbrook and take a day to find out what it is really all about. You
won’t regret it!

Old Town Murrieta
by Carly Santiago

D riving around Murrieta today, past the housing tracks and

ranches, the rich history of the once small town’s humble be-
ginnings is, at times, overlooked by present day residents. From
what began as Juan Murrieta’s 52,000 dollar purchase and a stop
on the southern transcontinental route for the California Southern
Railroad Company back in the 1800s, the city of Murrieta has suc-
cessful encapsulated, in present time, the qualities of a thriving and
booming community. It is filled with distinguished schools, exu-
berant recreation, accomplished medical facilities with increasing
employment prospects as well as one of the lowest crime rates in
Southern California, welcoming visitors and drawing in potential
residents and businesses.

In 1873, Juan Murrieta, a sheep rancher immigrant from Spain who

had been beckoned by the appeal of the “plentiful” grasses and the
natural beauty of the area, invested money at a dollar an acre in the
hopes of beginning a place in which he could develop his land into
a community. From then, the city itself, has continued to find ways
of positioning itself in order to obtain success. It is now located on
the convergence of Interstates 15 and 215, huddled against the Santa
Rosa Plateau.

On the first of July 1991, with already 24,000 people residing within
Murrieta, it officially became a town. By 2005, approximately 85,000
people had migrated to the community drawn in by the scenic beau-
ty, reasonably priced housing (by California standards) and equal
opportunity to embrace the past and continue to expand. Murrieta’s
population has continued to increase.

Downtown Murrieta is a place in which familiar faces and friendly

businesses combine to build a “small town feel”. It is comforting to
run into recognizable friends and neighbors to catch up on the latest
news in local sporting events or promote the most recent sales. The
feelings from this aspect of Downtown Murrieta add to the cities
appeal for both visitors and residents.

The recently named Murrieta Equestrian Ranch, involving 22 acres

and located a few blocks south of Historic Downtown Murrieta is
sure to develop a larger crowd to the area, while simultaneously
expanding the downtown area. The planners of the development
imagined attractive charm with the harmonic combination of shops,
restaurants, and hotels beside Washington Avenue and Ivy Street.

New buildings have already begun to sprout up greeting new op-

portunities for shoppers on a mission as well as those strolling by
on a pleasant afternoon in order to enjoy the new atmosphere and
ambiance of this new part of the community.

Take a drive through Murrieta and you will find a town flourishing
with the excitement of growth and vibrancy of an expanding popu-
lation set in motion by the respect of tradition commonly forgotten
in other cities. It is becoming more and more common to discover
and uplift the vision Juan Murrieta and other prominent contribu-
tors towards the city had foreseen long ago.

Love’s Labor Not Lost
The Unforgettables Foundation helps financially struggling families with the
high costs of their children’s funerals
By Sandra Shrader
W hether you are
the parents of an
infant, toddler, ‘tween
or teen, the funeral of
your child is one event for which you
never want to plan. But life can deal some unexpected blows, and,
as many grief-stricken and economically devastated families dis-
cover when their child dies, burial costs can be an overwhelming
hardship.
As the hospital chaplain at Loma Linda University Children’s
Hospital in 1999, Tim Evans fielded so many requests for burial
expenses assistance from families that he, along with his wife So-
nya Evans, a registered nurse at the children’s hospital, became
inspired to create The Unforgettables Foundation. Now in its
eleventh year, the Inland Empire non-profit organization has
helped with children’s burials costs for 3,000 families, and can
be reached at locations in Riverside, Redlands, Palm Desert, and
Ladera Ranch in Orange County.
Impressed by the charity organization’s unique mission, Country
Review recently spoke with Tim Evans about The Unforgettables
Foundation’s role in helping bereaved and financially strapped
parents avoid the heartache of having to use paupers’ graves as
their children’s final resting places.
You founded The Unforgettables Foundation more than a de-
cade ago. Did you ever, in those early years, anticipate that it
might be a long term organization?
I have to say yes... only because the service and help that the
foundation provides was and is still so needed. When I first came
up with the idea for The Unforgettables, I was the chaplain at
the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, and I was getting
calls all the time from families who had experienced the death
of a child and they had no idea about how they were going to
afford a burial. And being part of a community network of chap-
lains who are in pediatric care, I heard from other chaplains and
counselors who were receiving calls too, and they could see the
need for an organization like Unforgettables. They were really
supportive of my dream to get the organization started, and they
talked even then about taking the organization nationwide in the
future.
The Unforgettables Foundation has raised $1.5 million since
it began as a charity. With the economy tightening now, are
there more fundraising challenges?
On one hand, demand is increasing—the foundation received a
call a day last year. But, on the other other hand, there are fewer
and fewer donations out there right now. Thankfully, we have
private donations and grants that have helped us. And the [Na-
tive American] tribes in this area have been very helpful with do-
helping HANDS
nations over the past four years. What’s also important to recog-
nize is that we work with various mortuaries and funeral services
who have been very supportive of our efforts. Remember, there
is only a very short window of time, sometimes just 48 hours,
to bury these children, and, because the parents don’t have the
money, the foundation provides burial cost funds directly to the
funeral service companies. And these companies have been very
good about working with The Unforgettables during those times
when we couldn’t provide immediate funding.
The foundation doesn’t just address the need for burial as-
sistance. Doesn’t it also work to proactively educate parents
about their children’s safety?
So many kids die each year because there’s no one around to do
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), so we offer free training
sessions for performing CPR on children. People don’t real-
ize that doing CPR on children is not the same as doing it on
adults—you can’t apply the same force or pressure on a child’s
chest, and children’s lung capacities are different than adults. We
also give free instruction for child safety at home and in cars.
Last June, you were nominated as a finalist in People Maga-
zine’s “All-Stars Among Us” program which was co-sponsored
by Major League Baseball. Congratulations! But it really
wasn’t just about you being nominated, was it?
No. Of course, to be nominated was a big honor, and to be one
of 90 candidates selected out of 9,000 nominees in the nation
was great. I never expected anything like that! But the most im-
portant thing about the nomination was that it gave the The Un-
forgettables Foundation a tremendous amount of publicity and
recognition. And that’s what it’s all about!
So many tragic stories of children dying so young... What do
you stay focused on so you don’t get personally swept up by
the sadness?
Being a former hospital chaplain of many years, I do prayer and
meditation every day. And I also seek out counseling from a sup-
port group for people who are in professional fields—nurses,
other chaplains, police or firemen—related to children who suffer
tragic circumstances or diseases or death. There I can talk about
this darkest side of life, and I can get honest feedback that helps
me keep things in perspective. And seeing The Unforgettables
Foundation continue to fill a vital demand for parents trying to
give their child a decent burial is so important. Making sure that
their child’s life is not forgotten, that their child is not going to be
buried in a pauper’s grave of bare dirt with no name and only a
number as a memorial is more rewarding than I can describe.

CHARACTER &
SCHOLARSHIP
IS THE FOCUS OF
VALLEY’S
HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT
OF THE MONTH
PROGRAM
H umble stories of character were celebrated and 27
college scholarships were awarded in June by the
Valley’s High School Student of the Month Program. It
was founded by businesswoman, Sally Myers and Sizzler Res-
taurant franchisee of 27 years. Her passion to bring together
God, Country, Family, Community and Free Enterprise has en-
joyed strong community support since 1992. The Student of the
Month Program brings the community together to honor young
people for character, love of learning, making a difference and
perseverance. Over $49,500 in scholarships was raised for the 27
Student of the Year winners.
Over the past 18 years, the program has blossomed and now
serves the 28 high schools (comprehensive, alternative and
private) within Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, and Perris/
Menifee. The program is endorsed and named respectively
after the local Chambers of Commerce and works closely with
each of the respective school districts. A total of 270 students
are selected each school year between the four communities
and over 4,000 students

have been honored since its inception. Sally is
grateful for the loyal sponsors and the dedicated volunteers who
assist with the program.
Every month during the school year, participating high schools
select a college bound or trade school bound senior to attend a
special lunch or breakfast with their family. They are honored
and showered with gifts from over 250 generous sponsors. The
focus is on the students and their stories. The stories are honest,
heartfelt, they range from adversity to victory, and many times
the students and the sponsors shed a few tears. At the end of the
year, the students compete for the title of Student of the Year and
27 students between the four programs are awarded up to $2,750
in college scholarships donated by the local business and the
non-profit community. The program encourages the students to
return to the Valley after they have completed college,
seek employment, start their own business and then
get involved.
The first student to return from college and volunteer
for the Student of the Month Program is Jennifer
Pham, who was the 2002 Murrieta Valley High
School Student of the Year. Jennifer started her own
business, Learning with Jen, and now Co-Chairs
the Murrieta Student of the Month Program with
Margaret Jones of A-1 Tuscany Travel. She is the
perfect example of what the program stands for and
promotes.
Sally concludes each ceremony with a quote from
her favorite author, John C. Maxwell’s book, Talent
is Never Enough. Maxwell encourages his readers to
develop their God given talents; and adds that God
given talent get you noticed, but its character and
integrity that earn people respect and opportunity.

Many years ago, if you were to drive past the much less devel-
oped area now known as Lake Elsinore on a weekend in the
fall, you may have seen dust clouds teeming over the small
town. Known as the Elsinore Grand Prix, this true grand prix-
style race once drew up to 1,500 riders. After years of absence,
the City of Lake Elsinore, in partnership with Storm Events,
Podium Productions and many other sponsors, brought this
historical race back to the community in 2009. This year’s
race will be the 42nd annual Elsinore Grand Prix. The course
winds through city streets as well as the hills surrounding the
city. Jumps and water hazards are tucked away throughout the
course. Riders have an opportunity to ride the course before
their races in the first run of the day - an unscored run which
anyone can participate in.
With more than sixty four classes available to ride, including
dirt bikes, vintage, UTVcross, quads and Trophy Karts, the
event is sure to offer something for everyone that enjoys the
off-road scene. This years event is scheduled for November 6-7.
Start and finish will be at Storm Stadium, which will offer RV
parking and camping for racers in the stadium parking lot. En-
thusiasts are certainly looking forward to the event - in 2009
the race had over 800 entries. Spectators set themselves up at
points along the course, an estimated 5,000 or more last year,
bringing chairs and settling back to watch the action. At the
40 | The Country Review August/September 2010
stadium, there will be a vendor area set up, as well as food avail-
able for purchase and a beer garden.
Winners of each class receive a plaque - and bragging rights.
The only race that offers a cash prize is the Harvey Mushman
Purse - a 100-mile race with pit stops that is braved typically
only by the hardcore racers and Pros. A $5,000 purse is split be-
tween the top 10 riders. Harvey Mushman was the pseudonym
used by actor Steve McQueen in the early ‘70s when he would
race the Grand Prix, attempting to do so discreetly. The movie
“On Any Sunday,” which featured McQueen and pro racer Mal-
colm Smith, has been touted as the greatest motorcycle movie
of all time, and was filmed in part at the Elsinore Grand Prix.
Racers will have the ability to track their time down to the sec-
ond, as all vehicles will be set with transponders, allowing for
highly accurate electronic scoring. The 7-plus mile course is
thoroughly planned out and designed by Podium Productions,
an extreme sports production and planning company, in part-
nership with Storm Events and City staff. Podium also han-
dles all rider registration and manages the race portion of the
event. For more information on registration and event details,

B
erlin was formed in Orange County, California in the
late 1970s. Their first single, “A Matter of Time,” was re-
leased in 1980 on I.R. S. Records. They were then signed
to independent label Enigma Records where they had their first
significant hit: the controversial synth-driven “Sex (I’m A...)”
(1982), which was banned by some radio stations due to its
graphic lyrics. Later “Take My Breath Away” (from the movie
Top Gun) became their best-selling single in 1986 and a huge
international hit. In the UK, “Take My Breath Away” was re-
released twice: in 1988, it charted at #52, and in 1990, it reached
#3. They had two other hits: “The Metro” and “No More Words”,
whose subsequent video saw Terri Nunn and band mates re-en-
act a Bonnie and Clyde style car chase and shoot-out.
In 2000-2001 Berlin contributed to several artist tribute albums.
The only track to make it on to a full Berlin release is a cover of
Marilyn Manson’s “The Dope Show,” which is included on Ber-
lin’s 4play album as well as the Marilyn Manson tribute album
Anonymous Messiah (2001 Vitamin Records). Other tributes in-
clude material by Madonna and Blondie.
The classic version of Berlin was featured on the VH1 show,
Bands Reunited where all members (except for Rob Brill) agreed
to not only reunite as friends, but as a band. They played one
show at The Roxy in California to a sold-out crowd. Terri Nunn
continues to be a prolific performer doing shows with both Ber-
lin and with Camp Freddy which is a kicked back musical collab-
oration in L.A. that includes different artists like Dave Navarro
and Courtney Love getting together and creating different takes
on music.
This concert series will be in a small intimate setting with an up-
close and personal feel. This venue will feature V.I.P. tickets that
include a gourmet dinner and the opportunity to meet the artist.
The Golden Crown Concert Series makes for an evening of fun,

Temecula Rotary Club is comprised of over
128 local business professionals that are ded-
icated to fulfilling Rotary’s motto of “Service
Above Self ” and to upholding the high ethi-
cal standards in their businesses and profes-
Rotary Club sions for which Rotarians are known. Since
of March of 2009 more than 500 children re-
Temecula ceive books each month, delivered to their
home at no cost to the family. Since its inception, the Imagi-
nation Library has distributed over 23 million books. Their
goal is to register each and every child from birth to five
years of age in Temecula. Each child receives a pre-selected,
age-appropriate, book each month free of charge. Registered
children have the potential of completing the program with
their own library of up to 60 books. Children are registered
in the program without regard to family income. The Imagi-
nation Library seeks to give every child the best prospects
for academic and lifelong learning. It is with great pleasure
the Rotary Club of Temecula continues
its partnership with the Imagination Li-
brary. We are delighted to participate in
this wonderful early childhood reading
program that assists in preparing chil-
dren for the years ahead.

when

W by Richard Blade
hen Berlin invades Temecula September 18th, the
population will definitely not want to fight back,
because this Berlin is not the capital of Germany, but the multi-
platinum California band who named themselves after that
formerly-divided European city because ‘it sounded exotic.”

Fronted by the still gorgeous Terri Nunn, Berlin has an immense

repertoire of hits to draw upon, including the Academy Award
winning song from Top Gun, “Take My Breath Away.” Founded
in Orange County in the late seventies by John Crawford, the
band found itself on the cusp of the New Wave explosion, but
desperately needed to develop its own identity. And that identity
came in the form of Terri Nunn. The group had tried working
with other singers – including Toni Childs – but it wasn’t until
Terri fronted the band that they really started to get attention.
Her looks, charisma and amazing voice helped Berlin stand out
in LA’s fast growing music scene and within weeks they were sell-
ing out shows at Madam Wongs and The Roxy. Now you can catch the magic that Terri brings to the stage when
she plays live under the stars at Wiens Family Cellars on Sep-
Their first single “The Metro,” released on a small, local label, tember 18th. Don’t be surprised if you know the words to every

The next few years became a blur for Terri and Berlin as one
success followed another. They played to 200,000 people at the
US Festival, released a second album Love Life which brought
them the top-ten smash “No More Words” and toured the world.
In late 1985 super-producer Giorgio Moroder gave the band a
song he had written for the upcoming Tom Cruise movie, Top
Gun. He had been looking for just the right voice for the song as
he knew it would be used at a pivotal moment in the film, and
after trying dozens of big-name singers he remembered work-
ing with Terri a year before and realized she would be perfect
for the emotional lyrics. Giorgio Moroder was right and “Take
My Breath Away” went on to win the Academy Award for Best
Original Song in 1986. It’s also become one of the most played
songs in the history of radio and can still be heard everywhere
from Ford TV commercials to the recently released Toy Story 3.
Needless to say it’s one of the highlights of every Berlin show that
Terri performs.
Richard Blade can be heard Monday – Friday on First Wave, Sirius 22, XM 44 from noon – 6pm.

“Integrity is the Key”
Q. How do you judge the integrity of someone
when you are hiring?

A. Have you ever asked yourself that question? If you are a

manager I’ll bet you have because as the growing evidence
shows us people are increasingly fired or quit because of some
character related issue with integrity at the core. Let’s look at
the word “integrity” and gain some meaningful insight.

Dictionary Definition: “the quality of possessing and steadfast-

ly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards”

A Thesaurus would include words like honesty, truth, honor,

reliability, and decency.

So the question behind the question for a hiring manager,

about a candidate’s integrity is will this person be fair, truthful,
morally upright, honorable and trustworthy?

Traditional hiring practices use tools to validate how a person

has acted in the past and therefore is extrapolated to the future.
But the real question that should be asked is “does the can-
didate have the “right” principles and professional standards
that will make the candidate successful within an organization’s
culture and/or within a specific job position?”

The challenge for any organization is have they recognized

and defined the “values, right principles and professional stan-
dards” that comprise their organization and are needed within
each job position?

The final question is not “does a person have integrity (most

people do, though there are a variety of definitions)” but the
real question is “does the candidate have the kind of integrity
required to be successful within the designated job position
within the culture of this organization?”

This can and needs to be evaluated objectively!

CHILD SUPPORT AND THE SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD

R
aising a special needs child is already hard enough, but
when coupled with a divorce, your parenting responsi-
bilities can be off the chart both emotionally and finan-
cially. While the law may not soothe your emotional pain, it
does provide a mechanism for financial relief. First, what is a
special needs child? Well, the Internal Revenue Code §23(d)
states: an “eligible child” is any individual who has not attained
age 18 or is physically or mentally incapable of caring for him-
self or herself. However, the Family Court is not limited by that
definition and a Judge has wide discretion to determine if your
child has special needs. The obvious example would be a child
with unusual medical needs as a result of autism, severe aller-
gies, learning disabilities, cystic fibrosis, etc. However, there are
other examples which may shock some people. For instance, it
has been held that where a child has a wealthy parent, that child
is entitled to, and therefore “needs” something more, than the
bare necessities of life.
When calculating child support in the typical case, the Court
looks at the income or income capacity of each party, deter-
mines the visitation timeshare, considers a few other factors
and churns out a number using the California Guideline Child
Support Formula. However, Family Code §§ 4057 and 4062 pro-
vide the Court with the power to order costs related to the spe-
cial needs as additional child support. For example, §4057(b)
(5)(C) holds that application of the Guideline Formula would
be unjust in “Cases in which the children have special medical
or other needs that could require child support that would be
greater than the formula amount.” This could happen if there is
an unusually large house payment or other monthly expenses
being incurred for the educational, medical or dental expenses
of a special needs child. Indeed, the facts or circumstances of a
particular case might well be so unusual that a court’s guidelines
for temporary support would be totally inapplicable. If a child
develops a physical condition requiring special and expensive at-
tention after your divorce is final, a modification of a prior sup-
port award may also be in order.

INTERTRADE WITH OVER 55,000
An air emissions report prepared by Kleinfelder, Inc has concluded that the previously
reported reduction of truck traffic traveling on Interstate 15 (I-15) will result in major reductions
of pollutants emitted into the air. According to the report, annual transportation emission levels

will be reduced by the following: nitrogen oxide (56.5 tons), sulfur oxide (.4 tons), particulate
matter (2.3 tons), carbon dioxide (22.5 tons) and reactive organic gas (4.2 tons) when the Liberty
Quarry reaches full operation in 2020. In addition, the reduction in truck transport along I-15 in
Riverside County will save over 2 million gallons of diesel fuel each year.
“We were extremely happy with the report,” said Gary W. Johnson, Aggregate Resource
Development Manager for Granite Construction. “Air quality is a critical issue to all of us, and
we are pleased the studies are showing that Liberty Quarry will not only reduce the trucks

CATCHING UP WITH COMEDIAN AND D.J. FRAZER SMITH

F
razer Smith was born in Detroit, Michi-
gan, and has been a fixture at KROQ. He
has also played small roles in movies and
TV shows and was one of the announcers on the
TBS music video show Night Tracks from 1986-
1988 and 1989-1991.The debut of his manic
show on KROQ coincided with that station’s
rise playing what was then brand-new New
Wave music. His extended improvisational
comedy based on a mythical lothario/detec-
tive was also heard on the sporadically-pro-
duced Hollywood Nightshift which featured
members of the Firesign Theatre. Frazer
Smith is one of the best known comics in all
of California. When you think of the biggest clubs in Hol-
lywood, you’re sure to find Frazer. He is pound-for-pound,
the best one-liner in the country today. Frazer has been a ra-
dio favorite in LA for the past 20 years. He has interviewed
everyone from comics to athletes, to big celebrities.
Smith has seen the music industry change considerably.
When asked his current thoughts on where music is going
in the future he stated, “I see style coming back and re-
cycling and coming back with a differ-
ent twist. It seems like punk may have
a revival, because the trend is coming
back of recycled punk stuff like The Sex
Pistols, and Black Flag, but with a fresher
production style.”
Currently, Smith is doing stand up com-
edy around the country at local clubs like
The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, and
The Ice House. He is also working on several
screenplays, including one about a futuristic
football team called, Time Ball. Smith’s main
goal is to start an internet/TV talk show with
the owner of the Laugh Factory.
On a final note, Smith says he plans to stay in the music in-
dustry, hosting events like Golden Crown’s Help Ride, and
winery shows. “Those shows give me a little of everything,
music and comedy, which is what I built my career on.”

dependent upon the plastic sur-

is a highly personalized one. I
want to spend ample time with

surgery requires more than the
board certification alone. Other
ingredients include artistry, at-

subspecialty training in the field
of aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery.”
