A Neighborhood Story of SWEET SUCCESS…

Volume #1, Issue #1 April 2014

The ViewMorgan Hill

By now, either you are wishing you stocked up on your favorite Girl Scout cookies or you are still harboring boxes in the freezer to keepthrough the rest of the year (lucky you!) Whatever the case, know you have contributed to the greater good.

This past cookie season, our family purchased our first box from an ambitious young neighborhood girl scout. I remember when shecame to the door, I told her I was surprised the annual cookie sale was already upon us. She lit up and said excitedly it was the first dayshe was allowed to sell the cookies and she wanted to sell a lot of boxes to reach her goals! These young ladies are doing much morethan selling cookies. They are learning skills to carry with them for a life time—from business skills to social skills—knowing themoney they are raising will help with charitable organizations in their communities.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, we visited the home of Karen Quinlan, a local troop mom and leader of Girl Scout Troop #2386. “For us,it’s teaching them how to be leaders in their community and being able to teach our girls that it’s more than just themselves at thispoint in their lives.” Quinlan co-leads with Morgan Hill resident Jennifer Boer, who says she is called “cookie mom” and by some“cookie monster." Jennifer’s daughter, Hope, is a third-grade student at Tony Tobin, and is one of nine girls in the troop. This year, thetroop set a goal to sell 2000 boxes.

Hope upped the cookie ante and set a personal goal to raise an additional 50 boxes to send to servicemen overseas. She turned to herTony Tobin classmates for their help. Many students contributed and the extraordinary generosity of one classmate took Hope bysurprise, “I didn’t know somebody would donate that much but it was really nice of him.” Her classmate Austin Pepito, 9, donated $60that came out of money he was saving up for an iPad. For a young child, $60 dollars surely can be months of saving. Austin says,

“I wanted to do it because it felt it would be the right thing and it would be really nice to do forthe army men.”

Everyone loves a good DIY project; whether yourbedroom needs a refresh or your kitchen could usea simple update, there are plenty of ideas that caninspire a homeowner to put on a hard hat andhammer at it. The Price family knows how to getDIY done! They took on a DIY project and spentless than $75 dollars transforming their daughter’steen room and a bathroom.

When considering design concepts for the teenroom, they came across an idea inspired fromPinterest-pattern wall stencils. They bought theirstencil from www.CuttingEdgeStencils.com . Thestencil came with helpful directions and a clip-onlevel that made it handy to match up the patternas they moved down the wall.

For the bathroom, they decided to make their ownstencils.

The Price Family has some tips for stencil projects:

-clean the excess paint off the stencil throughoutthe project to avoid build up- with textured walls be careful to not press thepaint roller too hard to keep paint from bleeding- the advantage of buying a stencil vs making oneis that a stencil is much larger and there was noneed to trace the pattern

For this Morgan Hill family, the end result was twowonderful rooms with amazing patterns on thewalls.

OhBunny!By Melissa McCabe Navaroli

Though it is a joy to watch the Temecula Valley expanding, new homeconstruction can create a challenge for homeowners living nearby.With each new development that begins, local wildlife getsdisplaced.

Bunnies may be very cute, but they can also spell disasterfor your landscape!

They love to eat turf and plants, and pose a particularchallenge in the front yard.

While there is more you can do to protect your rear yard(because you can install protective fencing), there are stepsyou can take to protect the front as well.

1. If the issue is in your rear yard, consider installing animal fencing.This is only needed on the areas where you have open fencing. Thematerial (we use metal hardware cloth) gets buried 12 inchesunderground and goes up 24 inches above soil level. As an addedbonus, this keeps snakes out of the yard as well.

2. Select plants that the rabbits are not drawn to. Using silver-leafedplants is a wonderful way to confuse the critters. Certain plants likePenstemon, Lavender, Society Garlic, Dianthus, Daylily, Lamb’s Ears,Yarrow, Salvia and Bearded Iris are naturally rabbit resistant, thoughthere is no guarantee that they too will not get munched on.

3. Sprinkle a safe animal repellant like Plant Skydd on the grass andamong the plants. Your exterminator likely has a product that he orshe can apply during regular visits such as Rabbit Scram.

4. Investigate other motion-activated technology such as electroniceyes or motion activated spray irrigation systems. There have beenmixed reviews on the long-term efficacy of these systems, however. Ithink that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so properplant selection and fencing installation is the best way to ensure athriving landscape in Morgan Hill!

WelcomeIt’s with immense GRATITUDE and uncontained EXCITEMENT (Yay!) that we bring to youthe first issue of The View Morgan Hill. GRATITUDE for the incredible community we loveand you—the amazing people who are the core— and EXCITEMENT for a way to bring ustogether and share in the great things that connect us right in our own neighborhood andthroughout the beautiful city of Temecula. WELCOME to The View Morgan Hill—aneighborhood publication with the goal to highlight the incredible people, places andthings found just beyond our doorstep that make us proud to call this our home.

Do you remember the first time you discovered Morgan Hill? Was it driving up fromTemecula Parkway or did you come in from Nighthawk Pass? We imagine your reactionwas similar to ours—we love this neighborhood! Sure, beautiful homes were part of theappeal but beyond that was it the kids playing happily in the cul-de-sac, the family takinga stroll who gestured hello, the nice folks who greeted you at the local shops, learningabout the amazing schools or did you envision it’s greatness when it was just a plot ofland ready to be built upon? We do believe there is something special here in Morgan Hilland our surrounding neighborhoods and it should be CHERISHED and CELEBRATED.

To our contributors-thank you for sharing your special knowledge, unique perspective andhelping us put together a publication that our community will be proud of.

And finally, we want to extend a very special thanks to our families and spouses for their tirelesssupport. Admittedly, they initially scratched their heads when they heard of our venture andsaid "you want to start a community newspaper?" Well, as you can see, our answer to them wasa big yes and we were off and running. We couldn’t have done it without them.So again, it’s with GRATITUDE and EXCITEMENT, we extend a hello and warm welcome to theneighborhood from your friends at The View Morgan Hill.

Lisa TomaselliStephanie MantiplyCo-Founders, The View Morgan Hill

It was months ago that a conversation between Stephanie and I—just two Morgan Hill moms that sparked an idea, a mutual desire towant to connect and share with others about the great place we live. We both feel pretty lucky to be a part of it. We both have livedhere since 2010 and live on “The Sac” as we call our street. And here we are today and we want to give our thanks...

To our neighbors and friends in the community—you inspire us in so many ways and are the reason why we have come together.

To our Founder’s Friends—the very special advertisers who believed in us when we were just an idea. Why? They believe in you. Letthem know you appreciate them by visiting their businesses.

In Spring 2004, the first homes in Morgan Hill were built on Rutherford Street in the Cristal Neighborhood. Today, the communityhas grown to 1,008 homes and by build-out; there will be a total of 1,121 homes in the 478-acre Morgan Hill development.

The Morgan Hill Clubhouse opened its doors in 2005, and has become a gathering place for homeowners to enjoy “It’s a placewhere it does bring everybody together and families feel like they can come to a country club without leaving home,” saysDarlene Lamb, Community Association Manager.

You have probably seen the many friendly faces at the clubhouse and we wanted to introduce you to some of the people behindthe scenes of our community that help make sure our neighborhood continues to flourish. They work alongside our Board ofDirectors. Lamb says, “When I’m driving around doing my inspections, [I see] a lot of pride in ownership. It’s a fabulous board ofdirectors made up of homeowner volunteers. They are very supportive of us and we are supportive of them as well, and it’s abeautifully maintained community.”

Darlene Lamb, CCAM, Community Association Manager“It’s a really fabulous community to manage with wonderful homeowners here.”I reside in French Valley with my husband Rick. We have three grown children, four grandchildren and the most recent addition to our home isan 8 month old yellow lab named “Bogey”. In my spare time, I enjoy the game of golf; however, most of my spare time these days is consumedwith puppy training!

Heather Killian, Clubhouse Director“We are excited to be able to offer these types of social experiences...to pull everyone together in the community and haveeveryone get to know each other and work well together and to make the clubhouse even better than it already is”In April of 2013 I moved to French Valley with my husband Don and our five children ages 6, 11, 16, 18, and 20. If that weren’t enough to keepme busy, we also have two dogs and two cats who are treated like babies themselves. I spend all of my free time with my family and we enjoyoutside activities, museums, movies, and watching Lakers games. Little known information about me is that I have an identical twin sister whois largely responsible for my sense of humor and love of practical jokes.

Frank Rothstein, Assistant Community Director“In January 2014, I joined the Morgan Hill family and truly couldn't be happier or more thankful to be part of such a beautiful andexciting community."My wife, Luisa, and I currently live in East Hemet and we look forward to moving to the Temecula area within a year from now. Since we don’thave any children (yet!), we enjoy taking weekend getaways to Los Angeles and Orange County whenever we have an opportunity to do so. Weespecially enjoy our USC football season tickets. Most people know that I am a USC fanatic, but if you need proof, all you have to do is swing bymy office to see for yourself! We also love to go hiking with our 2 year-old German Shepherd/Queensland Heeler mix, Trojan. Yes, our dog’sname is really Trojan.

When Hope’s mom, Jennifer, learned of what Austin wanted todo, she says her first reaction was, “It’s wonderful but it’s way toomuch to give.” Austin’s mom Cheri Pepito said she and herhusband had the same reaction but quickly realized if that’swhat Austin wanted to do, they would proudly support him.

Austin told us he wanted to let people know, “that it is good todo the right thing and be nice to everybody around you.” Hope

encourages others to do the same said “just to helppeople out and to make them feel happy andonce you do it you will feel happy too.”

Still in awe of Austin, Boer said, “It’s such a giving thing to do, it’samazing. And for someone so young, it tells you something ofhow his parents are raising him to give.” She is also very proud ofher daughter. “she is moving beyond just looking at herself andher world and how she can make a difference and I’m veryproud of her.”

As the cookie season was winding down, Hope was still a fewboxes short of meeting her personal goal of 50 boxes. Guesswho bought those final boxes to help Hope reach her goal?Austin's mom Cheri Pepito. It’s amazing to see how one act ofkindness can start a chain reaction of goodness.

Troop #2386 sold more than 2500 boxes in the 2014 cookieseason. With the money they raised they will be contributing theproceeds to Rancho Damacitas Adoption and Foster CareProgram here in Temecula and to Heifer International.

KUDOS to Troop # 2386: Taiya Quinlan, Emmaline Quilan,Ameya Teli, Hope Boer, Madeline Stuart, Addison Hostetter,Murphy Smith, Ariana Lemons, and Kiara Schofield.

It may have been the combination of a job transfer andaffordable housing which brought “Survivor” contestant,Gillian Larson and her husband to the city of Temecula, but itwas the overall sense of community that has made themresidents of the city for nearly thirteen years.

“I love Temecula and everything it stands for,”says Larson, which is why she is not only proud to call this cityher home but also give back to her community by using it asthe center of the 2014 Reality Rally. Despite being voted offby her “Survivor” cast mates on day six, Larson knew there wasa greater purpose waiting for her.

“We’re all part of a destined path,” she explains. After beingdeeply moved by the story of a young woman who lost herbattle with breast cancer, she was determined to use her“Survivor” platform to make a difference. After countless fivehour walks through the jungle of Gabon, Larson’s idea for theReality Rally was formed.

The 2014 Reality Rally is a three day fundraising eventbeginning Friday, April 11th through Sunday, April 13th. Withactivities such as a celebrity casino night held at the WilsonCreek Winery, an autograph meet and greet in Old Town andbreakfast with the stars (just to name a few), this event is sureto provide plenty of fun for friends and families of TemeculaValley and other surrounding areas as well.

Larson (along with the 100-plus reality stars), ensures a funweekend for all involved, but she reminds us that the main focusof this fun-filled event is to raise money for a very importantcause. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be going toMichelle’s Place, a local breast cancer resource center. Everyparticipating reality star is required to raise a minimum of fourhundred dollars (with the help of sponsors), which will cover theamount of one mammogram for anyone in need. Over $62,000was raised during last year’s Reality Rally and there are highhopes they will beat that goal this year.

Parents want the best for their childrenand want to know their children will becared for if something were to happento them. Many parents purchase lifeinsurance and have savings accountsready to support their children.However, many parents do not make awill or create a trust for their children,leaving their children's financial futurein jeopardy.

There are three general ways propertyand money can be given to a minorchild: a guardianship of the estate,California Uniform Transfers to MinorsAct (CUTMA), or a trust.

A guardianship of the estate has nothingto do with who physically takes care of achild, it is strictly for who takes care ofa child's property. Parents cannot giveinstructions on how to invest or use theproperty, and the guardianship ends atage 18 when the child receives all oftheir property. Guardianship involvescostly court procedures for annualreporting and approval for certainexpenses and disbursements.

CUTMA is a custodianship relationshipin which an adult custodian controls thechild's property until age 18, or up toage 25 if so designated, without anycourt supervision. Parents cannot leaveinstructions on how the money isinvested or used, and the custodianhas great discretion in using the child'sproperty for the child's benefit.

A trust is when an adult is entrusted toinvest and disburse a child's propertyaccording to specific instructions.A trust can last as long as the parentchooses and does not involve courtsupervision. In most situations, a trustis the best option for leaving propertyto a child and protecting the child'sproperty.

REALITY RALLY

Estate planning is essential to ensure achild's inheritance is properly managed,regardless of whether the inheritance isfrom a parent, grandparent, aunt oruncle. If a child receives an inheritanceand there has been no prior planning,the court will appoint a guardian tomanage the child's property. This iscostly and inflexible, and makes itdifficult for a child's funds to beaccessible if needed for the child.

Additionally, the child would receive alltheir property at age 18. A large amountof money in the hands on an 18 year olddoes not usually last long. Simple estateplanning can avoid these unwantedresults.

Parents should plan now for theirchildren's financial future. Creating atrust allows a parent to detail the termsof the trust, decide how the child'sproperty is to be invested , instruct howthe child's property will be spent, anddetermine who will manage the child'sproperty. Parents need to plan now toensure their childern's finances areprotected.

If there is anything Larson would like participants to take away from this event, shewould want everyone to know that “this is a 'we' event…this would not be possiblewithout my production team, the reality stars, and number of volunteers.” It tookLarson endless amounts of applications, interviews and a total of eight years beforefinally appearing on “Survivor: Gabon.” “I always do believe if you dream it, youbelieve it, and you prepare for it, you will achieve it,” says Larson, which is a messageshe is determined to deliver to those fighting breast cancer. It is with that same heart,dedication (and selfless contributions of others), that Larson is able to make herdream of helping others a reality.

So don’t forget to spread the word to friends, family, near and far about thiswonderful cause beginning Friday, April 11th. And don’t forget to come andexperience the fun for yourself and take part in all that the city of Temecula and2014 Reality Rally has to offer!

Welcome to Wolfpack athletics where young men and womencompete in 19 sports with approximately 1500 athletescompeting at the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman level.Wolfpack athletes began establishing a history of SPIRIT andsuccess when the school opened in 2005 and they continue towork to establish themselves as one of Murrieta/TemeculaValley’s finest athletic programs.

The greatness of athletic teams is in part because of the athletesparticipating. We know that students participating in sports at thehigh school level usually get better grades than non-athleticstudents, have better school attendance, have a highergraduation rate, and have higher self esteem. They also learn howto set goals and have respect for others, in addition to learninghow to win with class and lose with dignity.

Participation in athletics at GOHS means more than competitionbetween individuals or teams representing different high schools.It teaches fair play and sportsmanship, understanding andappreciation of teamwork. It teaches that to quit means failure,while to work hard means success. The legacy of an athleticprogramwill be measured by more than just the wins and lossesthat our teams experience. Great Oak High School offers studentsan opportunity to participate in voluntary interscholasticcompetition so they may experience and acquire the lessons andrewards of team-oriented sports: cooperation, sacrifice, striving toachieve group goals and commitment to the team. We alsobelieve that a successful athletic program nurtures and fostersgood citizens and tomorrow's leaders.On behalf of the athletic department, I welcome you to thechallenge of Wolfpack Athletics, and I hope your experience is apositive one.

Here is some Wolfpack Athletics News…• If you know anyone planning to attend Great Oak next year or if you havequestions about any programs on campus this is the place to be.

• Congratulations to our Mountain Bike Team – earning two first place awardsat the Vail Lake Challenge.

Some people make the world a brighter place and no doubt,neighbor Amber Sayas is one of them. Everything Amber touchesturns to pink (well, not exactly but it would be a magical powershe would certainly make use of if she could). Amber is ourresident trendspotter and beauty aficionadowith an inventory ofproducts any cosmetic counter would envy. Her countlesscollection of lipsticks, blushes, and eyeshadows could last most ofus a life time …and yes, pink is definitely her favorite color!

While this glam gal loves making things pretty, she’s not allprincess. She has a passion for cars and she is not afraid to pickup a tool set—albeit, a PINK tool set. A bright turquoise FordFocus SVT that she has turned into a full out show car is one ofher passions. How does one go frommake-up diva to the garage?Amber says,

“At a young age, I learned being yourself is the bestperson you can be. That trends are right now, but“You” are forever. Think outside the box, and dowhat makes you happy.”

Beyond the lipstick tubes and flashy show car, Amber exemplifiesbeauty comes from within. She is an extraordinary neighbor,along with her parents “Mr. Jerry and Mrs. June”, as they areaffectionately called by the neighborhood kids. The Sayas’ youngbrood consists of two little pups-Gizmo and Princess Whether it’spassing out popsicles on a hot day or coordinating andsponsoring an annual Woltner Court Halloween parade for thepast several years, they continuously bring joy to the entireneighborhood.

Next month Amber will be bringing us some beauty tips for momslooking for some bang for your buck.
