magazine, Inland raveler should boast almost 2million readers and will be taking the place of ravelhost . Look for

When one thinks of Oprah, her celebrity status, im-mense popularity, enormous wealth, empowermentand philanthropy, few would argue that she is in a
class by herself. However, when one thinks of Oprah, and herstruggles with weight; her yo-yo dieting, short term success-es, long term failures, feelings of frustration, self loathing and
blame...she is in a class of 130 million other overweight/obeseAmericans who have tried and failed to maintain weight-lossover and over and over again.
But let’s not forget that Oprah has a triumvirate of highly special-ized, renowned, “health care” providers that surround her. ereis Mehmet Oz, a brilliant physician and everyones’ Marcus Welby;Bob Green, tness guru to the stars, and Michael Beckwith, her
spiritual advisor (almost forgot, a personal chef). So, If Oprah,with the help, support, and guidance of these extraordinary people is un-
able to takeweight o andkeep it o...one might ra-
tionally ask,“what hopedoes anyoneelse have?”
At rstglance.. .not
much, zero,
nada! Butwait a sec-ond. To this
p h y s i c i a nthere seems to be a major disconnect. us allow me to weigh-in. (pun intended)
Why is it that over the past 18 years there have been thousandsof our patients at Weight No More Medical Associates who havebeen successful at long term weight-loss and maintenance? Is it
possible that physicians like myself, who specialize in medical
weight-loss, i.e.: Bariatric physicians, who see patients day aerday, month aer month, year aer year, know something thatOprah’s gurus do not? e answer, I believe, is yes!
When Bob Green stated on Larry King (Jan 7, 2009), that los-ing weight is not “rocket science”; one simply has to eat in mod-eration and exercise more; he is doing a great disservice to the
millions of overweight Americans who do exactly that and ndit doesn’t work. Bob doesn’t understand that diet and exerciseby themselves fail miserably for most, for sound physiological
reasons. When you eat less, metabolism slows, fat oxidation andmuscle expenditure decrease, with resultant eventual weight
regain, frustration and failure. And when Bob tells Larry that“weight is a symptom of something else that needs to change inyour life”; suggesting that until one begins to make better choices
become more disciplined, maybe more religious; in other words“get their act together,” they have little hope for weight-loss suc-cess. Once again, a great disservice to the millions of overweight/
obese who make correct choices, are disciplined, exhibit self es-teem and “have their act together” in spite of their weight issuesWhich reminds me, maybe someone should inform the DalaLama...because he’s about 25 pounds overweight; and maybe he’s
on the wrong spiritual path!!! Yes, I believe Oprah and millions like her would do well to see aphysician who treats obesity as a chronic, metabolic, progressive
and genetic disease on a long term basis for control, not cure. Whounderstands and empathizes with the psychological, prejudicial
and dis-
criminatoryaspects thatcan have ap r o f o u n d
eect onquality olife issuesS o m e o n e
who has theexpertise toeffectively
and safely
use com-b i n a t i o npharmaco-
therapy asan integral component in addition to diet and exercise protocolsfor long term success. Someone who knows based on clinicastudies that a lot of money is squandered on worthless B12 and
HCG injections and dietary supplements touted for weight-lossthat serve only to “slim your wallet, not your waist”
If you are serious about losing weight, not just a quick x, but for
a lifetime of success, go see a weight-loss specialist; a Bariatricphysician. And while you’re at it, e-mail Oprah to do the same!
ank you for listening.
Robert Skversky, M.D. has devoted the past 18 years of his professional career to themedical treatment of the overweight patient. He has been featured in the WSJ and interviewed on CBS, NBC, ABC, E! and Wellness Hour discussing his treatment
protocols for long term weight-loss. Please visit www.weightnomore.com to learn more

HARVEST TIME
IN TEMECULA VALLEY!By Ken Zignorski
Well…it’s harvest time in Temecula Valley!
Harvest is a bit late this year given the unusually cool spring andsummer we’ve had. Generally, white grapes are harvested in ear-ly August and red grapes in mid to late September, but this hasall been pushed back by about 3-4 weeks this year.
Harvest usually takes place during the evening (or very early morning) hours – when the weather is much cooler. Tractorsrigged with large lights enter the vineyards and the farm crewsstart the tedious task of cutting grape clusters o the vines.Many times people ask, “Why does harvest take place at night,in the dark?” Well there are two general reasons. First, there is aworker safety concern - it is oen way too hot to harvest grapesin the middle of the day – especially when temperatures can bein the low 100s. Second, the grapes are much rmer and concen-
trated in taste, color and composition in the cool evening hoursmaking for better wine juice at crush.
Relative to Harvest, 2 or 4 vineyard rows will be harvested at a time.Each harvest crew will average 6-8 people and they will cut o grapeclusters, place them in small boxes (similar to dish pan buckets yousee at restaurants) and then emptied into large grape bins that will,on average, hold about 1 ton of grapes (2,000 pounds).
Once harvest is completed on the following morning the wine-making team inspects the grapes and the grape “crush” begins.No – it’s not like the I Love Lucy episode where people stomparound a grape bucket. For red grapes, they are loaded into a
destemmer and crushing machine – the grapes are pulled o thestems, the machine discards the stems and then the grapes arecrushed up – which is called “must.” e juice, “must” and redgrapes skins are then sent to fermentation tanks. Sulfur dioxideand yeast is added to the crushed grapes. Sulfur dioxide preventsthe must from becoming discolored or oxidized. e yeast helpsconverts the sugar in the grape juice to alcohol. e juice sitswith the grape skins for 30-45 days to strengthen the color of redwine, and enhance the wine’s tannin structure.
For white grapes, the destemming and crushing process is op-tional. Some winemakers do this and some do not. Whitegrapes are pressed right aer harvest in a large pressing machine.
e juice is extracted from the grapes and sent to fermentationtanks – white wine does not make use of grapes skins or grape“must” like red wine. Like red wine, sulfur dioxide and yeast isadded to the juice as well. White wines then sit in a tank for upto 6-7 month before bottling.
In the next issue, we will look at the barrel racking process, wineclarication and bottling.

restaurant REVIEW
By Judy Contreras
In an unassuming building on Main Street is a diamond
among the tourist oriented restaurants of Old Town Temec-ula. Public House has gained a reputation for comfort food
with a fresh gourmet twist. It has a regular following of custom-
ers who come back again and again for their favorite dishes. eback patio is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy one of the many microbrews or a glass of wine and some sinfully good food. A fully stocked bar is available if you just want to sip a cocktail while lis-tening to the musical entertainment on the weekends.
I am happy to admit I am one of those who go back again andagain. I enjoy nding something I haven’t tried before and that’s
made easy with the seasonal changes to the menu and the sump-tuous daily specials. Owner and Chef Gerry Kent takes pride innding locally grown sustainable ingredients and putting thoseingredients together to produce thought provoking combina-
tions. One of my all time favorite specials was a Chilean SeaBass sautéed with a corn and citrus salsa over a fennel slaw. Itwas served with an arugula salad with a slightly sweet poppyseeddressing. Sooo good!
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to sit down with Gerry andnd out more about his vision. But rst, I was treated to a won-
derful late lunch. e starter of Goat Toast was big enough toserve several people for an appetizer or could be a meal for one.It was a phenomenal combinationof a grilled panini lled with her-
bed goat cheese and topped withbrown sugar glazed grape toma-toes, roasted so that they were soand sweet. It was a perfect blend of
salty and sweet and oh so creamy!It was paired with an arugula saladthat was peppery and added another
delicious layer of avor.
For my main course I chose the Lin-guine with Shrimp, mainly because
it was something on the menu I had
never tried before, and I was notdisappointed. It looked so beauti-ful on the plate and the wonder-
ful aroma of garlic and lemon hitme immediately. e linguini with
jumbo shrimp and grape tomatoes

parmesan. e shrimp were cooked
to perfection and melted in my mouth. e linguini was cookedal dente and was coated with just enough of the garlic butter. Alof the ingredients work well together to give it that fresh and nottoo rich nish. I am denitely coming back to have that again!
My husband, Darrell, has gone to Public House with me on sev-eral occasions and says it is one of his favorite restaurants be-
cause of the value you get with the fresh tasting food and thegreat selection of IPA beers (something that is hard to nd in theTemecula Wine region). Darrell, who now you all know usuallydines with me when I review a restaurant, was not able to make
it that day. But I was lucky to have enough to take home foodto him. I was impressed to nd out all of the to go containersare made of recycled materials, which is in keeping with Gerry’ssustainable vision.
Aer getting my ll of the delicious food, I got a chance to chatwith Gerry. He had just nished cooking for the lunch rush and
although he looked like he had worked hard, it was very evidentaer talking to him for a while that the kitchen is where he ismost comfortable. I asked him how he comes up with his innovative menu and he answered, “ I make my decisions on what
is in season and what I can use that is locally grown.” He thenputs those ingredients together to create new and interestingavors. I inquired why he decided to open the restaurant ae
catering for several years and he sim
ply said, “I felt like the time was right.”
Gerry is relaxed and low key and when asked what makes Public House so suc
cessful he gave all the credit to his serversand the people working the front of thehouse. “It’s in the hands of the server toknow what the customer is looking for
and to make the right suggestions. I havea great sta that does that.”
It was really nice meeting Gerry and
nding what is important to him. It so-lidied my belief that the reason Public
House is so successful is the vision is cre-ated by Gerry and is followed throughby servers who really care about the cus-tomers.

easy ENTERTAINMENT
When I think of fall I always think of pumpkins, probably because they are always the center of my themes for Oc-
tober and November events. I love them big or small, orange orwhite, carved or painted, in raviolis or scones, and I am countingthe days to my rst pumpkin spice soy latte.
October…. Trick or Treat isn’t just for the kids. Halloween is agreat holiday for an adult event as well. Something about dress-ing up and spooky decorations that brings the playful side out inall of us. Here are a few ideas to tickle your scary bone. I think Itold you how your party really starts with yourinvite. For one of my favorites, we took a photoof our client’s estate at night and then photo-shopped a huge moon, a ying witch, and a fewblack cats in to set the tone of what would come.
Lighting is a must for the feel of spooky. Washthe house and yard in purples and oranges bluesand greens and, of course, pump in fog andmist to get your eerie started. Graveyards are standard and youhave to have one. For something unexpected, we turned innity an edge pool into a lagoon for our friend Nessy the Loch Ness
monster. 300 pounds of dry ice,a metal fence and tons of crowscreated the perfect surroundingfor the lagoon. We had a customNessy cut from Styrofoam andthen hand painted, but you coulduse any blow up toy for a similar eect. Use pumpkins as a can- vas to display a hand carved and painted pumpkin scene. We
used real pumpkins of all sizes stenciled with our event nameas well as crows, cats, and witches in black paint. We framed ourstage with 250 pound oversized pumpkins, white and orangeornamentals and gourds as well as full sized dead trees paintedblack and glittered for highlights. We used real pumpkins, butfaux would work as well and could be done in advance. Someunique centerpieces for our tables and buet were created usingold chandeliers and more pumpkins, but I’ll let Rebecca tell you
about those in the next article.
November is easy with your leover pumpkinfrom October. If you paint on your designs youcan easily ip your pumpkins around or re glitter in rust or burgundy. Pile them by your frondoor spilling out of wood crates or pouring ouof iron urns. Toss in some fall leaves and dried vine for the warmest welcome into your home
. Happy pumpkin season to you and I almost forgot the pumpkinpie – yum!
hold the foam and water without a liner, but I would recommendthat you still use a liner or lining material just in case. You mayhave pierced the pumpkin when cleaning it out and you don’t wan
water leaking.
To create a little drama for the Halloween Party, old chandelierswere painted black and then wet oral foam was attached at vari-ous points using oral tape. e chandeliers were placed on thetables so that they leaned to one side, a bit topsy turvy. Chande-liers are a good example of how you can take something that youwouldn’t normally think of as a oral container and make it anamazing piece.
I wish you all a Happy Halloween and anksgiving, and as alwayshave a little fun with oral. You can use the same design elements
for your anksgiving dinner just change the owers and colorsPlace a pumpkin oralarrangement on yourkitchen island or achandelier in the cen-ter of your table. Cre-ate a fun and festiveenvironment for yourfamily and friends.

It’s something that’s been around since the days of the pyra-mids. But just ask any homebrewer in the Temecula Valley today, and they’ll tell you that the fun of beer craing still
packs as much of a happy punch as it did when the pharaohspartied on down.
Whether it’s all about creating a Pilsner or a Porter Ale, localhomebrewers like Temecula resident and brewmaster Eric Hold-en really get into the pleasures of building their own versions of the hops-and-barley stu.
“I’ve been homebrewing for ve years now, and I completely en- joy it,” says Holden, 29, who is also president of the TemeculaHomebrewers Association. “But, it’s even more than just a great
hobby because I get to make beer that I think is better-tastingthan most of what’s sold in the stores, it’s unique, and I get toshare it with my friends and make new friends.”
Even if you’re just starting out as a homebrewer, it’s a relative-ly simple and inexpensive process to make beer, according toHolden, who added that—”if you don’t want to do as I did and
build my own ‘Frankenstein’ brewing setup”—homebrewingequipment kits can be purchased for less than a hundred dollars.“ere are basically just four ingredients that you need to crabeer. Water, malted barley, hops and brewer’s yeast,” he says. “But
where the ‘science’ of homebrewing happens is deciding whichof possibly a hundred dierent kinds of barley to use, what kindof hops to use, if you want to add things like pumpkin or rasp-
berry or chocolate seeds, and what kind of yeast to use. ereare endlessly dierent combinations. And adding to that mix ocombinations are decisions about fermentation times and tem-perature settings.”
Holden explained that there are basic two categories for beer, lagers and ales, which are determined by the kinds of yeast used
during their creation and by the temperatures used to fermen
the two dierent kinds of beer. Lagers use a yeast that best fer-ments at cool temperatures and ales use a yeast that best fer-ments at warmer temperatures.
For his ingredient supplies and equipment parts, Holden shopsonline or frequents the Murrieta Homebrew Emporium in Murrieta, which also serves as the meeting place for the approximate
ly 50 members of Temecula Valley Homebrewers Association toget together and swap beer making tales on the third Tuesday ofevery month. New homebrewers can get plenty of advice there
too, says Holden.
e brewmaster and certied beer judge is also generous aboutsharing his “little black book” of his own recipes. His Chocolate
Russian Imperial Stout took second place at the 2010 AmericanHomebrewers Association Stone Brewing Co. Rally and Compe-tition event last March in Escondido.
“I wouldn’t strictly describe making beer as scientic,” saidAndrew Marshall, 37, who made the leap from eight previousyears of homebrewing to start the Temecula-based Black Marke
Brewing Company microbrewery in June of 2009 with anotherpartner.
“For me, it’s artistic outlet. Sure, there are challenges, but I cal
that ‘working my art.’”
Before opening the microbrewery, Marshall expanded on hishomebrew expertise by training at the oldest brewing schoo
in the country, the Siebel Institute in Chicago. He also trainedat the Doemens Academy, the second oldest brewing school inGermany.
Marshall’s “art” includes his own recipes for medal-winning Ba- varian beers such as a Hefeweizen and Dunkelveizen wheat ales
Red Dusk ale, and intriguingly-named beers such as Darth Cer-evesiae and Betelgeuse.
Black Market Brewing Company’s beer can now be found at sev-
eral restaurants in Old Town Temecula, the Lake Elsinore StormStadium, French Valley Airport, and Riverside and San Diegocounties.

It’s got art and aloes, bullfrogs and bamboo, cork trees and aCanary Islands Garden.
In fact, visitors to the San Diego Botanic Garden, the acclaimedand amazing 35-acre plant paradise in Encinitas, can probably go through the whole alphabet of Nature’s bounty there. With
more than 3,300 plant varieties, four miles of hiking trails, chil-dren’s interactive gardens and play areas, and special events suchas the Orchid Fair and Lady Bug Day, the San Diego BotanicGarden is a wonderful way to stay connected with Mother Na-
ture in today’s busy times.
“e San Diego Botanic Garden is just an incredible place,” saysBecky Reeb, who oversees organization’s public relations and
marketing. “It has the nation’s largest collection of bamboo vari-eties, a rain forest, desert gardens, tropical gardens, fruit gardens,a waterfall, and some great gardens for children’s fun activities
where they can learn about plants and insects.”
Spanning roughly a half-acre, the Hamilton Children’s Garden, thelargest interactive children’s garden on the West Coast, is the new-
est addition to the grounds. It contains a climbable 20-foot-high jungle tree house called Tony’s Tree House, giant chalkboards, anelephant foot tree forest, and primitive music making equipment.
Another interactive children’s park on the property is the Seedsof Wonder garden where preschoolers can play in the dinosaurpark, watch a miniature railroad and learn about “Plants, Wings
and Crawly ings.”
But adults can tap into their inner child too as they wander down“Banana Boulevard,” kick back in the tropical rain forest to the
sounds of a cascading waterfall, listen to giant bamboo creak-ing in the breeze, or delight in the charming Undersea Succu-lent Garden and various art sculptures scattered throughout thegrounds. With 24 separate micro-climate gardens ranging from
arid to lush, the urban retreat is like taking a mini-whirlwindtrip around the natural world, only without the wallet-bustingtravel costs.
For that, visitors to the San Diego Botanical Garden can thankthe garden’s founders Charles and Ruth Larabee. Avid worldtravelers and passionate plant collectors, they moved to Encini-tas from Kansas in 1943. ere they began landscaping the prop
erty around their small house with exotic botany collected during their trips, including, palms, cycads, cork oaks aloes, cactiand unusual subtropical fruit-bearing shrubs and trees.
In 1957, the couple divorced, and Mrs. Larabee donated the resi-dence and land to San Diego County. A foundation was established three years later to operate the grounds which were then
open to the public. In 1993, the county ceased to support thegarden, and Quail Botanical Gardens, a non-prot foundationwhich continues today, was formed to oversee and operate theproperty. In 2009, the garden’s name was changed to San Diego
Botanic Garden to enhance its draw as a regional attraction.
“Attendance is up to about 225,000 visitors a year, and the gar-
den has become very popular destination. It’s just such a perfecurban oasis, ” says Reeb, adding that the garden gets its revenuesfrom admission fees, garden rentals for weddings, birthdays andspecial occasions, and special events such as the upcoming Fall
Plant Sale, October 16-17.
Admission is: Adults $12, Seniors/Students/Active Military $8Children ages 3-12 $6, Children 2 and under are FREE admis-
sion. Parking is $2.
So, go ahead. Take a break from everyday life, and head down
to the San Diego Botanic Garden to check out this hidden gemwhere so many of the world’s exotic, rare and gorgeous plantsfrom around the globe just wait for your admiration.
e San Diego Botanic Garden is located at 230 Quai
Gardens Drive in Encinitas, just minutes from Interstate 5

e best of times and the worst of times! Holidays oen bring
families together, and that can feel like good news or bad newsSome people celebrate the opportunity to reconnect; others are
there because of obligation, guilt, or simply tradition. ose arethe ones who tend to determine the environment of the entire
occasion.
One thing is true: you can’t make your troublesome cousin into
a pleasant holiday guest by giving him a list of rules to followwarning of the dire consequences if he embarrasses you, orpleading for him to rise to the occasion “just this once.” Whatyou can do, what is in your power to control, is to create an
environment for a rich, healthy, and fullling holiday time withyour family.
Here are some tips.1. Start o with a good attitude! Look forward to a good time
and don’t expect the worse.2. Welcome the troublemaker as if you really want to see him
Visualize achievement.3. Focus on your guests, not on yourself and how you ar
coming across or what people think of you.4. Keep your menu, and therefore the stress, simple. Guests
remember the atmosphere and the people long aer they’veforgotten the food.
5. Ask questions and really get to know your family. You
might try sending out a question or two before the gathering and asking for a response around the dinner table. Forinstance, “What is your fondest Holiday memory?”
6. Invite others with nowhere else to go. ey will appreciate
the family atmosphere, and may even be a foil for the dif-cult cousin.
7. Treat everyone there as extended family, whether they arblood relatives or not. Be inclusive.
8. Take pictures and share them.9. If there is past hurt let it go! You may have been wounded by
a family member and may not trust them. Oen a betraya
or abuse requires rebuilding of trust. But, forgiveness is stil
doable and important, even when trust is not yet possibleYou forgive knowing that you are also capable of doingwrong. Forgiveness frees you rst, and then it paves the
way for the rebuilding of trust. Unforgiveness and bitterness hurt you the most. One author has said, “Bitterness ilike taking poison and hoping it will kill the other person.”
10. Be grateful.

feature ARTICLE
While much of the nation is still trying to dig themselves
out of a deep housing collapse, the Murrieta and Tem-ecula area is leading the nation in home sales.
According to Scott Partridge, top real estate agent for the Tem-
ecula and Murrieta area, bank owned estates have dwindledover this past year thus allowing the standard home seller toenter back into the market. While home prices are still low
compared to four to ve years ago, record low interest rates andan abundance of buyers from around the nation and the worldis fueling the ames of our local housing market.
Over the past several years, realtor Scott Partridge has beenprivileged to have brought buyers in from not only locally andthe surrounding counties and other states, but he has also en-
tertained clients from Belgium, France, England, Columbia,Austria, Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, China, Turkey and
Israel. “All of these buyers that are out there right now know the value of buying in today’s market,” he adds.
But why are they coming here? Besides this area being knownfor the best weather in the world, the Southwest Riverside area
is a hub for southern California. Not only is it central to SanDiego, Orange County and Palm Springs, but it is also only a 90minute drive to Los Angeles. And, with more and more com-mercial businesses moving in, this area is slated for growth.
More than half of these new buyers will work from their homeand many will buy as a second or third home.
In 2009, the cities of Temecula and Murrieta ranked high on
the Top 100 Cities to live in the United States. Temecula’s upand coming wine country is home to 44 wineries that have settheir roots here with hopes that it will compete head to head
with Napa Valley. Recognizing investment opportunities
home sales in this particular region have seen an uptick.
Buyers have a golden opportunity right now to take advantage
of this market, especially with interest rates being at an all timelow. Conversely, sellers need to take advantage and place theirhomes on the market so that more buyers move into this areaIf you are faced with either selling your home in a short sale or
foreclosure, Scott’s team will help provide the right solutions sothat you can rebuild your credit and repurchase another homewithin 18-24 months.
Scott’s motto is “more is lost on indecision than anything,”
and this couldn’t be truer. Opportunity is knocking for bothBuyers and Sellers now, so don’t get caught saying “I should o
bought (or sold) back then.” California is always the rst to goup and the last to go down when it comes to property values.
If you want to buy or sell a home, call Scott Partridge of RE/MAX Elite Fine Homes & Estates at 951-757-2148 or email himat [email protected], or visit his websites at ScottPar-tridge.com or PreviewLuxuryEstates.com.

N ow shoppers in the Temecula and Murrieta areas have

Shopping at your local Certied Farmers’ Market (CFM) ensure

In the heart of Old Town Temecula, husband and wife
photographers, Andrew & Anjula Caldwell, have recently
opened the doors to their new studio location. eir fun
and comfortable approach to pho-
tography brings smiles to people’sfaces. Located at 42031 Main St.
on the 2nd floor, e Caldwells
Photography has been a dream of
Andrew and Anjula’s for several
years. “We’ve been waiting for the
right place to come along to make
our own and we’ve always loved
the charm and history down here
in Old Town,” says Andrew.
Residents of Temecula for the past five years, Andrew and
Anjula met and fell in love while attending the prestigious
Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. Although a
strong technical background is crucial to taking a great photo,
Anjula credits their clients’ satisfaction to the more intangible
components of their process. “Everybody is different and you
can’t capture the uniqueness of each person without taking
the time to get to know who people really are. We work hard
to foster a relaxed, comfortable, and most importantly fun
environment so when we actually start taking pictures, it feels
more like we’re hanging out with friends.” When it comes to
photographing children, getting a genuine smile takes more
than “saying cheese.” Andrew knows how to relate with kids,
making them feel at home and welcome. “Anjula always says
I’m a big kid so I think it’s a role I was born for! Kids laugh at
funny things and for some reason, physical humor, the typethat ends up causing bruising, is the best. Not to mention, my
chimpanzee impression is spot on!”
All monkey business aside, a look through their portfolio
reveals the real-life expressions of their subjects, their clean,
simple style and their polished technique. While many pho-
tographers choose the route of adding “Photoshopped” effects
in post-production, the Caldwells stick to a traditional ap-
proach to their finishing work. “We learned on film and with
film you have to get it right the first time. We’ve transitioned
to an all digital workflow but we feel the most timeless images
come from a combination of great light and time tested dark-
room techniques,” comments Anjula.
With their distinct talents, passion for photography and fun
loving personalities, Andrew & Anjula are sure to provide the
valley with priceless memories for years to come.

Tucked inside the lush mountain forest on the West slopes
of the Sierra Nevada mountains is a 40-acre property thathas been turned into an oasis of tranquility and peace.e Lazy Z Resort was our getaway for three nights inAugust - and we didn’t want to leave.
Proprietor Steve Zelinsky and his family have converted thishilly forestland into something quite amazing. Located in thecity of Twain Harte, CA - about ten miles from historical So-
nora - this unique resort is someplace you should put on yourshort list of places to visit. e owners consider their resort tobe a family destination, and pride themselves on a tradition of
service, which we can attest to. Resort all-around guy, Antonio,was awesome! From quaint studio cottages to large cabins thatsleep up to six guests with full amenities, there is a place for youhere. We had the opportunity to stay in both a cottage (ador-
able!) and a larger cabin - both were spotlessly clean. e cabinhad full kitchen facilities and we enjoyed a barbecue dinnerone evening on the patio, using the grill provided by the resort.
However, we also enjoyed several nearby restaurants in bothTwain Harte and in So-nora - cuisine variedfrom down-home bar-
becue ribs, to fantasticai to wonderful Ital-ian. For smaller towns,they certainly have
some good eateries.
e grounds at the
Lazy Z inspire explo-ration. ere is a beautiful, lull-inducing waterfall feature inthe center of the resort, as well as a clubhouse complete withpool table, foosball, poker table and darts. Upstairs in the club-
house there is a large area with a bar and replace, and a wallof books just asking to be read. As you head up the stairs, you’llsee the wall of photos of celebrity visitors, including GoldieHawn. Down the hill from the clubhouse area is an old tack
room from the ‘40s that has been
converted to “Zeke’s Cantina,” alittle barroom that looks like itwas transplanted out of the GoldRush era. Next to Zeke’s is a
trout pond with kayaks waitingto be paddled, and a large mead-ow with a re ring big enoughfor a dozen or more people to
surround for stories or roasting marshmallows. Several easymaintained hiking trails are on the resort. ere is a 100+ yearold house on the grounds, as well as the rumored resident
ghost, Farmer John.
And the wildlife! Every morning I would come outside withmy coee, to be greeted by anywhere from two to ve deer
munching grass or walking very near to where I sat. Whilethey keep their eye on you, if you sit quietly they go about theibusiness just a stone’s throw away. Bright turquoise birds were
ying around, squirrels were chattering in the trees - this placewas the epitome of RELAX. I felt like I was in a Disney movie
History surrounds this area, and there are many things to do
close by to ll your days if you choose to leave the serenity othe Lazy Z. Nearby Sonora, originally developed during theGold Rush, oers a charming downtown area with shops andrestaurants, and a very interesting Gold Rush museum. While
wonderful in the mild temperatures of the late summer, fall
in this area would be stunning with the vast quantities of as-pens and other colorful autumn foliage. I was told winter is
a wonderland - at 3,600 feet, the Lazy Z does get some occa-sional snow. Skiing is not too far - Dodge Ridge is 20 mileaway. Golng is also close by, for those who like to hit the linksPinecrest Lake was absolutely beautiful, with recreational op-
portunities such as kayaking and paddleboating. We also tooka drive over the scenic Sonora Pass, which goes to an elevationof over 10,000 feet, with spectacular vistas, points of geologicaand historical interest, and even waterfalls.

CHANGE OUTER CONFLICT
INTO INNER PEACE by Philip Greenwood
e martial art of Aikido is both a physical and a philosophi-
cal pursuit. When faced with conict the techniques of Aikido
teach you to ow and blend in a way that redirects and controlsthe attacker’s force while you remain totally calm and centered.e philosophy of Aikido translates into a meaningful way of
life in which we learn that much of our stress is caused, not by the events around us, but by conditions inside us.
Most martial arts are concerned with winning. But for the Ai-kido student, temporary victories are not the goal. In this way,Aikido is more like life where we must think beyond the ten-sion of the moment. Sometimes winning is losing. For exam-
ple, you might win an argument, but lose a friend. What seemsdirect or practical in the moment may end up causing the most
damage. A real martial artist is practicing to reduce conictand minimize damage in the broadest sense. Aikido has been
called the “non-ghting” martial art.
Nowadays, martial arts are increasingly equated with cage
ghting, kick boxing or karate classes for children, but themost important aspect of martial art practice is the inuence itmakes on the mind and heart of the practitioner. Aikido means“the path of spiritual harmony” and this kind of martial art
training is a deeply personal path to cleanse the inner conictsof the mind and purify the heart.
In Aikido we oen hear students make comments like, “My
wife says she likes me better since I’ve been training,” “I don’tfeel anxious and depressed now,” and “I nd it so much easierto deal with people.” A student recently commented, “Our dog
never wanted to be around me. A couple of months aer I start-ed in Aikido I became her favorite person.” A law enforcementocer says that Aikido training has made a powerful mentalshi in his way of dealing with people in his work which has
lowered his stress and increased his enjoyment for his work.People who become interested in Aikido are not interested in
violence or competition, but are looking to cultivate mental
and physical power and calmness in their life. With Aikidothey nd a way to combine their physical goals with a deepersense of purpose.
Dr. Philip Greenwood teaches adult classes in Aikido and Iaido (Japaneseswordsmanship) in Murrieta. He has trained in Aikido for 35 years under the guidance of some of the world’s leading masters. He also has a successful chiropractic practice in Murrieta of over 20 years where he practices gentleand eective Japanese style chiropractic.

mr. FIX-IT
If you long to give your home that sought-aer “curb appeal,”consider starting with your front entrance. Your front entranceis so important when making that “rst impression,” because it’sreally the ‘face’ of your home. So try following these easy im-provements to help give your home a faceli:
Illuminate the Path. Lighting helps ensure guests arrive safely and also acts as a the deterrent. Clean light xtures and replaceburnt-out bulbs with energy-saving CFL bulbs, replace outdatedxtures and add landscape lighting to brighten walkways andshrubbery.
Use Foliage and Shrubbery. Strategically-placed plants canconceal any unattractive aspects of your house or surroundings.Place large pots or hanging baskets around the stoop or porch.Bushes or hedges hide air conditioning units or propane tanks,and owerbeds and window boxes will stylize a stark facade.
Decorate Your Door. Restore the luster of your door by polish-ing the hinges and knobs. Paint or stain the door with a colorthat stands out, yet complements, the trim and siding. Hang apretty wreath to nish the look. If your front door is weak orunattractive, invest in a replacement door or storm door for se-curity and energy eciency.

our TOWN
by Don McAulieTo make sure Canyon Lake maintains its unique quality of life
and protects the environment, the city has hired its rst codeenforcement ocer.
Starting Aug. 23 Jean Voshall will work part-time to help the
city deal with foreclosed and abandoned homes that lowerproperty values and become havens for vandals and squatters.
She also will help prevent illegal dumping and work to keepCanyon Lake’s waters clean. Previously, Voshall worked for ten year as a code enforcement
ocer in Temecula where she had plenty of experience dealingwith foreclosed and abandoned properties.
“With her previous experience in Temecula, Jean knows whatworks and doesn’t work,” says Lori Moss, Canyon Lake City manager. “Her experience will be invaluable as we set up codeenforcement procedures and she is very familiar with our com-
munity having worked with Animal Friends of the Valley.”
Before Voshall’s arrival, code enforcement duties in the citywere handled on catch-can basis by the city manager, city sta
and members of the Property Owners Association. e work-load grew signicantly when the economy soured and hom-eowners were unable to make mortgage payments.
Earlier this year Canyon Lake updated it foreclosure ordinanceto more quickly identify and monitor distressed properties inthe city.
“ere was a lot of that going on in Temecula,” Voshall says. “I
just brings down property values, so it’s real important that alhomes are maintained.”
Voshall, 60, was surrounded by family members and relativesin the construction business.
“I know the language and am knowledgeable about all aspectsof the business,” the Temecula resident says.
e City of Canyon Lake encourages residents to call (951746-7978 to report any abandoned or vacant homes, especiallythose with pools and unlocked doors.

the STORYTELLER
It all began when two turkeys, and at the same time, two
eagles wanted to have a baby. e two turkeys laid an egg, andat the same time, the eagles did the same. When the turkeys
had their egg, they decided that they had to hide it in a safe and
comfortable place, so they went into the woods and found a nice,comfortable place where they placed the egg. It was safe there,where nobody could nd it. e eagles also wanted a safe place
for their egg, so they decided to climb the tallest mountain. ey ew all the way up there and built a nest. It was hard work, but itwas important to them, and that’s where they laid their egg.
As time went by, Mother Eagle took care of her egg, and at the
same time, Mother Turkey took care of hers. At about the sametime, both eggs began to crack; they began to shake because onthe inside the little babies wanted to get out. Once Mother Tur-
key realized this, she said “Oh, poor little baby, I’m going to helphim. I’m going to help him get out. Come here Papa Turkey, weneed to help our baby get out of its egg!” So they started to helpthe baby get out by cracking the egg shell. is made it a lot eas-
ier for the baby turkey to get out of its shell.
At the same time, high in the mountain, the baby eagle started tocrack his egg also, from the inside. When Mother Eagle noticed
this, she got so excited that she started screaming “Father Eaglecome here!” She showed Father Eagle how the egg wasbeginning to crack from the inside. ey were both
excited and they started screaming “Yes! Come on!You can do it!” and they were cheering and inspir-ing the little baby to break out of the egg: “You can doit! Yes you can!” ey kept on cheering and cheering and
cheering, until nally, aer a long eort the baby eagle was ableto break out of its egg all by himself.
Once the baby turkey was out of its egg, he was moving around
and playing a bit, and asked Mother and Father Turkey “Whatare these for?”“ose are wings,” they answered.
“Wings? And what are they for?” said the baby turkey.“ey’re so that you can y,” they said.“Ooooh!” said the baby. “I want to y!”
But the Mother and Father Turkey, with great love, said “No, noyet. You’re not ready. It could be dangerous. You better wait.”
At the same time, at the top of the mountain, baby eagle was
wondering about its wings: “What are these for?” the baby asked
Mother and Father, at the same time, responded: “ose are yourwings. ey will help you y across the sky. You can go
anywhere you want with these, and you will become aleader and everyone is going to respect and admire you!”
e baby eagle said “Wow!”
Both babies were healthy and strong. But Baby Turkey keptgrowing bigger and bigger in the body and would not exercisehis wings too much. is was because Mom and Dad were tak-ing care of him and didn’t want him to get hurt, because he wasn’
ready yet to y.
Baby Eagle, however, all the time kept practicing and workingwith his wings. His mother and father always told him “You cando it! Yes you can! We believe in you!” He knew that one dayhe was going to be able to y across the sky and go wherever hewanted.
One day while he was standing at the edge of the cli of the talmountain, his father came up to him and said “You’re readynow.” Baby Eagle was a bit scared because it was very, very high
and said “Are you sure I can do this?” Father Eagle said “Yes youcan! You can do this! “ and he pushed Baby Eagle saying “Go
You can do it! Yes you can!"
As the little eagle started ying, Father Eagle followed close be-hind to make sure that he was OK. All along, Father Eagle con-tinued to support his child saying “You see? You can do this! Yes
you can!” is way the baby eagle became a big strong eagle andconquered the whole sky, gaining the admiration of all.
At the same time, the baby turkey grew and grew and became heavy. He was never able to y much...en came No vember...and that’s how the story ends.

52 | e Country Review October/November 2010
by Richard Bladey wife and I like to play a game from time to time, agame that involves our favorite songs. No, it’s not musi-
cal chairs or ‘Name at Tune’ – though those can befun too. is game is one that we have nicknamed “Titanic” (yes,Krista loves that movie). e set-up is simple. You’re on a rap-
idly sinking ship and you only have time to grab ve CDs beforethe boat goes down. e question is ‘what ve albums do youtake with you’? ere are only two rules. One is the time limitthat you set – for example, you have one minute before the water
rushes in (or ten seconds, or ten minutes – it’s your choice), and
the other, and this one is important, NO greatest hits albums orcompilations! at’s the easy way out. If you’re a Beatles fan youcan’t say “I’ll take their ‘Number Ones’ album.” Instead you have
to man-up (or woman-up) and choose your all-time favoritewhether it is Rubber Soul , Te White Album or Sgt. Pepper’s. It’sa fun game and we found that it holds surprises for the players.
One surprise is what you pick. Sometimes you will honestly shock yourself with your choices. When we’ve played the gamewith friends we’ve oen had people hurriedly give their choices
only to reect on them later and say, “Wow, I have no idea why
I chose ….. (insert dubious album title here!)”. e other surprise is that the list will rarely stay the same. We’ve found that itwill vary based on mood, weather, even time of day. And I thinkthat’s because of the very nature of what music is. As an art form
it is not only personal, but it also can be a shared experienceSome songs bring back memories of halcyon times or lost lovesbut when heard with others, say at a concert, it can take on a to-
tally dierent feel. A track like “With or Without You” by U2 canbe melancholy when listened to alone, but catch Bono and theboys performing it at Angel Stadium and it suddenly becomealmost majestic as 80,000 voices join them on the chorus.
e type of music that we are rst introduced to as kids and growup with also shapes our taste. For those of us who grew up withe Beatles and Stones, it’s not a vast jump to listen to and en
joy Coldplay, e Killers or Kings of Leon. But for our parentit was always “What is that horrible noise you’re listening to?”It’s probably been that way since the beginning of time. I can
see in my mind four kids dressed in bearskins sitting outside acave banging sticks on rocks when their mother storms outsideyelling “Quit that racket. Your father’s been out all day huntingWooly Mammoth and he needs some peace and quiet. If you
want to do something useful then rub those sticks together andmake a re. Kids today!”
But things do seem to be changing a little when it comes to the
acceptance of music. Are human tastes diversifying or is it justbecause we are all so much more exposed to musicians and art-ists than we have ever been in history? Everyone still has person
al favorites, of course, but singers from other genres, particularly
pop, seem to be crossing over to appeal to almost every age range– Lady GaGa and Justin Timberlake being perfect examples othat. Fiy years ago no self-respecting 40-year-old would admi
they liked Elvis, but today you can nd 60-year-olds who loveBlack Eyed Peas or Depeche Mode. When I DJ weddings I of-ten get Grandma coming up to request a couple of songs thayou would never think a white-haired, sweet old lady would ask
for in the same breath–songs like Frank Sinatra’s “e Way YouLook Tonight” and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” en it’s so muchfun to watch Granny doing the Single Ladies dance and putting
her hands up – even though she hasn’t been single since Harry STruman took his oath of oce!
Admittedly, not all music crosses over to a wide audience. It’s
not oen that suburban housewives will request Gangsta Rap(thank goodness!) and traditional country denitely has a loveit or hate it following, but outside of that almost anything goes
these days. And thanks to shows like Glee and video games like“Guitar Hero” and “Grand e Auto” (which features a greatsoundtrack) young kids have turned on to ‘80s songs in a bigway. In the past a teenager would be rather caught dead than
listen to a song that was more than three minutes old but today

So with the thought in your head that music is not only a shared
experience but also uniquely personal try playing my wife andI’s little game. e good ship Titanic has just struck that fatefuliceberg and you’ve only got sixty seconds to grab ve CDs totake with you while you await rescue (assuming of course that
your lifeboat is equipped with a solar-powered CD player andsound system along with all the other Coast Guard approveddevices). What ve do you take? Right now my ve would be

Ask me again tomorrow (if the ship hits the iceberg again!) andit’ll probably be a dierent ve. But that’s the wonderful thingabout music, there’s some for every mood and every day. Send
me your top ve to facebook.com/richardbladepage – and happylistening.
Richard Blade can be heard Monday – Friday on First Wave, Sirius 22, XM 44 from noon – 6pm. To book Richard to DJ at a wedding or party
go to www.richardblade.com
they will ask for Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” or A Flock of
Seagulls “I Ran” as enthusiastically as they’ll ask for the new Jus-tin Bieber (got that Bieber fever?).
For all the fun pop music there’s always room for a beautiful bal-
lad, oen because it’s those songs that really seemed to touch ourhearts and captured that special moment when we felt so aloneand needed something to help us through that period in time
and provide a soundtrack to that part of our life. And usually it’sthe memory of those songs that stay with us always. For my wifeit’s listening to Jim Croce and Cat Stevens with her father, forme it’s the deep lyricism of Simon & Garfunkel on “Bridge Over
Troubled Water.”
I nd it so interesting working with brides as I talk with themabout the music they want me to play for their wedding. It’s so
important to make sure you put together the perfect mix forthem for their special day. And aer they’ve given me all theirchoices I ask them one nal important question, “What don’t
you want me to play?” Because just as music can stir the soulwith great memories, it can also bring back negative feelings andthe last thing the beautiful bride wants to hear on her weddingday is her soon-to-be-husband’s ex-girlfriend’s favorite song!

Country Review sat down with Lukas Nelson of Promise of the Real and ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke for aninterview at Quaid Harley in Temecula. It was a day lled
with motorcycles, music, great wine, and good conversation.
Both Lukas and Gilby are creating their own private wine labelswith artistwine.com, and both are returning for the 2nd annualHelp Ride music and motorcycle festival. As Lukas Nelson stat-
ed “We’re back because we liked the Help Ride event so muchlast year. It had an amazing crowd, and a great atmosphere.” Lukas Nelson comes from music royalty, as the son of Willie
Nelson; he grew up on the road with mentors like Bob Dylanand B.B. King guiding his way. Nelson recently wrapped a sevenweek tour with e Dave Mathews Band and B.B. King, whichhe says was his most successful tour to date. “e crowds just
keep getting bigger and better with each show.” With a 15 songalbum coming out later this year, Nelson’s star is rising. With a
vintage guitar sound that is reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, and an
amazing lyrical style, Nelson says his goal “is to nd the soundthat distinguishes me from everyone else, and helps meto dene myself and my music.”
Gilby Clarke is a seasoned musician, having playedin numerous successful bands, including Guns &Roses, and Rockstar Supernova. Currently he is
part of a band called Halloween Jack, and has a new
solo album coming out soon. Still inspired by making amazingmusic, Clarke is inspired by artists who do something dierenand creative from what has been done before.
Clarke says he enjoys e Help Ride because he loves Motorcycle/music events, and it’s a great cause, too. “I like getting outhere and giving back to the community. is is a great way fo
a musician to be a part of something that benets a lot of goodpeople”. In January 2010, Clarke had a setback; he was hit onhis motorcycle and le for dead on the side of the road. Bothlegs were broken and he had to have multiple surgeries and
rehab. Always a careful driver, this incident gave Clarke a newperspective and more of an awareness of people on the road
Clarke is back up to speed and continues his deep love of ridingmotorcycles, and music despite his injury.
Come down to Help Ride 2010 Saturday, October 23rd 9amto 9pm for a full day of vendors, food, beer,wine, mo-

legal EASE
As the recession of our lifetime continues, California hasearned the title of being one of the top ve states in fore-closures. However, California’s anti-deciency laws may
provide that on foreclosure the lender only gets the home- they
cannot get the balance of the loan from the homeowner.
You can determine if the anti-deciency laws help you by follow-
ing these steps:1. Do you have a purchase money loan? You need to have a
“purchase money” loan which means the loan proceeds wereused for the initial purchase of the property.
2. Did you renance in the past? If you renanced with thesame lender, and did not take out any additional cash, andsecured the renance loan with the same property, the debt is
still purchase money and the protection should be in eect.If you renance with a dierent lender, OR secure the newloan with dierent property, you can lose the anti-deciency
protection.3. Did you modify the loan and/or waive the anti-deciency
protection? For example, you can waive the protection by your conduct, such as subordinating the note to a construc-tion loan.
4. Determine the eect of transfer of the property. You may have protection if you bought the property from the seller
subject to an existing loan. If the loan was originally a purchase-money loan, it remains a purchase-money loan aer
the property is conveyed when you, the grantee, either as-sumes the obligation or merely takes subject to it.
5. Determine the eect of federal funding or insurance. Antideciency laws are state laws, and do not automatically bind
the federal government. If the property is being foreclosedby the federal agency itself, (for example the V.A. or Fannie
Mae), federal courts have found that the applicability of antideciency law varies by which agency is involved. You cannoassume that you are protected.
Finally, if the lender receives less than the amount of its loan
from the foreclosure sale, then it will send you a 1099 for thedierence. e fact that you, in eect, paid less than the amounyou owed is called mortgage debt relief. If you receive mortgagedebt relief, then this is considered taxable income. e federa
congress has exempted, for the short foreseeable future, any tax-able income that would result from mortgage debt relief on your
primary residence. If this is the house that you and your familylive in, and it is your primary residence, then you will not haveto pay federal tax on the 1099 you receive for mortgage relief.

Lukas Nelson of Promise of the Real and Gilby Clarke of Guns N’Roses at a photo shoot for Quick Trottle Magazine and the Help Rideat Quaid Harley in Temecula. Last year at Help Ride, Nelson and his
band were the breakout hit of the festival, and with their anticipatednew album, they are sure to be the hit for this year as well. Rock Vet-eran Clarke is back to host the event. Both musicians cited that they
enjoy Temecula, and all that it has to oer, and look forward to doingmore events in wine country.
Berlin recently tore up wine country with an electric, and sold outshow on September 18. Proceeds from this show went to Imagi-
nation Library and the Rotary Club of Temecula. Both organiza-
tions work to improve Children’s Literacy.
