Tips To Avoid Foreclosure… 

We all know what a financial strain it has become during the recent months. 

Difficult economic times do not mean that you will be forced to lose your home. If 

you are having trouble paying your mortgage please consider the following steps: 

1. Don’t ignore the problem. 

The further behind you become, the harder it will be to reinstate your loan and the more 

likely that you will lose your house. 

2. Contact your lender as soon as you realize that you have a problem. 

Lenders do not want your house. They have options to help borrowers through difficult 

financial times. 

3. Open and respond to all mail from your lender. 

The first notices you receive will offer good information about foreclosure prevention 

options that can help you weather financial problems. Later mail may include important 

notice of pending legal action. Your failure to open the mail will not be an excuse in 

foreclosure court. 

4. Know your mortgage rights. 

Find your loan documents and read them so you know what your lender may do if you can’t 

make your payments. Learn about the foreclosure laws and timeframes in your state (as 

every state is different) by contacting the State Government Housing Office. 

5. Understand foreclosure prevention options. 

Valuable information about foreclosure prevention (also called loss mitigation) options 

can be found on the internet at www.hud.gov. 

6. contact a hud-approved housing counselor. 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds free or very low cost 

housing counseling nationwide. Housing counselors can help you understand the law and 

your options, organize your finances and represent you in negotiations with your lender if 

you need this assistance. To find an approved HUD counselor, visit the HUD website or call 

(800) 569-4287 or TTY (800) 877-8339.

7. Prioritize your spending. 

After healthcare, keeping your house should be your first priority. Review your finances and 

see where you can cut spending in order to make your mortgage payment. Look for optional 

expenses such as cable TV, memberships, entertainment-that you can eliminate. Delay 

payments on credit cards and other “unsecured” debt until you have paid your mortgage. 

8. Use your assets. 

Do you have asset? Perhaps a second car, jewelry, a life insurance policy, that you can sell 

for cash to help reinstate your loan? Can anyone in your household get an extra job to bring 

in additional income? Even if these efforts don’t significantly increase your available cash 

or your income, they demonstrate to your lender that you are willing to make sacrifices to 

keep your home. 

9. Avoid foreclosure prevention companies. 

You don’t need to pay fees for foreclosure prevention help. That money can be used to pay 

the mortgage instead. Many “for-profit” companies will contact you promising to negotiate 

with your lender. While these may be legitimate businesses, they will charge you a hefty 

fee (often two or three month’s mortgage payment) for information and services your lender 

or a HUD approved housing counselor will provide free if you contact them. 

10. Don’t lose your house to foreclosure recovery scams! 

If any firm claims they can stop your foreclosure immediately if you sign a document 

appointing them to act on your behalf, you may well be signing over the title to your 

property and becoming a renter in your own home! Never sign a legal document without 

reading and understanding all the terms and getting professional advice from an attorney, 

a trusted real estate professional, or a HUD approved housing counselor.

Model Clean-Air Truck Program 

to Reduce Diesel Emissions 

Granite Construction Company announced a new clean-air truck program developed 

in cooperation with South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) that would 

substantially reduce regional air quality impacts resulting from the proposed Liberty 

Quarry project in Southwest Riverside County. The Liberty Quarry Clean-Air Truck Program 

is designed to reduce emissions from the heavy-duty trucks involved in transporting aggregate 

in the region. In spite of the fact that only thirteen trucks will be needed during the 

first year of operations, Granite has agreed to replace and/or retrofit ten times that many 

trucks, resulting in emissions reductions for over 13 million truck miles. 

The accelerated mitigation results in significant reductions in particulate matter (PM10) 

and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the project, two key pollutants that must be 

significantly reduced in order for the region to meet federal health-based air quality 

standards. Granite will work with CARB and South Coast Air Quality Management District 

to determine the best technology available to retrofit truck engines before the project opens. 

As a result of the Granite program, individual truck emissions will be reduced 85% – 90% 

for particulate matter and, depending on the technology, an estimated 40% for NOx, 

according to Kleinfelder, air quality consultants for the project. 

The clean-air truck program is unique and significant for the local area because it 

accelerates an aggressive reduction of diesel particulate emissions in advance of CARB 

regulations. The local area won’t have to wait to receive the full benefit of improvements 

to local air – improvements that would otherwise not be realized until some time into the 

future when the project reaches its full capacity and depending on when the future CARB 

regulation becomes effective. The AQMD was instrumental in the development of the 

innovative clean-air truck program. 

Advancing new engines and clean air retrofits to the project’s on-road truck fleet on day one 

exceeds current or contemplated regulatory requirements for the project or the industry overall. 

The California Air Resources Board is considering new regulatory requirements for fleet 

replacement that would require California truck owners to replace or upgrade older, dirtier 

diesel engines over time. But the accelerated Granite program commits the company to the 

accelerated air quality improvements from the first day the project opens.program commits the

The Gas Company has $18 Million 

Available for Business to Improve 

Energy Efficiency 

Utility hopes to beat $8 million in incentives awarded last year 

As part of its ongoing campaign to help businesses save money, save energy and reduce 

greenhouse-gas emissions, Southern California Gas Co. (The Gas Company) 

is offering more than $18 million in rebates and incentives to its business customers this 

year for making their business operations more energy-efficient.. 

In 2007, business customers took advantage of more than $8 million in incentives 

through the company’s energy-efficiency programs. 

“On top of the incentives, the savings continue with lower monthly energy bills from the 

reduced use of natural gas,” said Mark Gaines, The Gas Company’s director of customer 

programs. Last year’s program activity is saving more than 20 million therms of natural 

gas annually—resulting in customer savings of more than $10 million per year. 

“By taking advantage of The Gas 

Company’s programs, we have 

earned rebates totaling more 

than $100,000 over the past three 

years,” said Juliann Rogers, energy 

manager at Carl’s Jr. restaurants. 

“And we’re looking for more.” 

Virtually any of the utility’s 

250,000 business customers can 

benefit from these programs. The 

Gas Company helps meet a variety 

of needs by offering a broad mix 

of energy-efficiency programs, 

including: 

• The Business Energy-Efficiency Program, which provides incentives of up to $1 million 

per customer, per year for equipment replacement and/or improving business 

processes; 

• The Express Efficiency Rebate Program, which offers rebates of up to $200,000 per 

customer, per year to offset the cost of new, energy-efficient equipment; 

• The Savings-By-Design Program, which provides financial incentives of up to 

$150,000 per commercial customer and $500,000 per industrial customer, encouraging 

energy-efficiency improvements in conjunction with expanding existing facilities, 

adding new facilities, or adding new equipment; 

• The Industrial End User Program, offered at no charge, which helps industrial customers 

work through technical issues to identify and quantify cost savings from complex 

energy-efficiency projects; and 

• The Advanced Home Program, which encourages builders to develop new single- family 

and multi-family homes that incorporate sustainable design and higher energyefficiency 

standards. 

For more information on The Gas Company’s energy-efficiency rebates and incentives for 

business, visit www.socalgas.com/energyefficiency, contact a representative from The 

Gas Company, or call (800) GAS-2000. 

All incentives and rebates are subject to change without notice and will be offered on 

a first-come, first-served basis as long as funding is available. These programs are 

funded by California utility customers and administered by The Gas Company under the 

auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. 

Southern California Gas Co. has been delivering clean, safe and reliable natural gas to 

its customers for more than 140 years. It is the nation’s largest natural gas distribution 

utility, providing safe and reliable energy to 20.1 million consumers through 5.6 million 

meters in more than 500 communities. The company’s service territory encompasses 

approximately 20,000 square miles in diverse terrain throughout central and Southern 

California, from Visalia to the Mexican border. The Gas Company is a regulated subsidiary 

of Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE). Sempra Energy, based in San Diego, is a Fortune 500 

energy services holding company

no Magic Solution: 


Clean, environmentally friendly energy means nothing if the power cannot reach the 

people who need it. Californians cannot power an environmental revolution without 

hard-headed realism about what that energy shift requires: more transmission lines 

across the state. 

A federal Department of Energy study, released this week, illustrates that switching to 

green power is not as simple as flicking a switch. The report says wind energy, which 

accounts for about 1 percent of the nation’s power, could conceivably provide 20 percent 

of the nation’s energy by 2030. That shift would cut U.S. reliance on fossil fuels and 

reduce U.S. output of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to 

global warming. 

But that scenario also includes building more than 12,000 miles of new transmission 

lines to get the wind-generated electricity to users. Which provides a useful insight to 

California: Nature dictates where renewable energy is feasible, and those locations are 

seldom conveniently near existing power lines. 

Efforts to construct new transmission lines traditionally face staunch opposition in 

California, for environmental or aesthetic reasons, or a simple desire not to live near 

high-voltage lines. But the reality is that California cannot have clean power — or 

perhaps even sufficient power — without additional capacity to send that power to 

customers. 

Renewable energy made up about 11 percent of the state’s power in 2006, but California 

law calls for that number to hit 20 percent by 2010 and 33 percent by 2020. To meet 

those ambitious goals, the state could potentially generate thousands of megawatts of 

electricity from wind, solar and geothermal power. 

But tapping those sources requires running transmission lines to places like Tehachapi, 

Imperial County and remote desert regions. The California Energy Commission last year 

reported that the lack of transmission lines to renewable energy sites was “the most 

critical barrier” to meeting the state’s 2010 target. 

Capital Improvement Program 

to Enhance Safety and Reliability of Water 

Esinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) commenced the Capital 

Improvement Program in January 2007. The $110 million Capital Improvement 

Program consists of more than 30 individual projects designed to enhance the water 

and wastewater infrastructure that supplies safe and reliable water to Elsinore Valley 

residents. Construction for all projects is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. By 

implementing this program, EVMWD has taken innovative and proactive steps to upgrade 

the water and wastewater systems in order to meet the needs of the growing Elsinore 

Valley community. 

Water system upgrades and expansions include: 

• Replacement of old water main pipelines with new, larger size pipelines 

• Drilling new water wells 

• Adding new pumping stations 

• Building new reservoirs 

• Additional water treatment facilities 

• Replacement and upgrades to service lines 

• Replacement of large service water meters 

Sewer system upgrades and expansions include: 

• Replacement of old sewer pipelines with new, larger size pipelines 

• New sewer lift stations 

• New trunk sewers and expanded system capacity to handle increased flows in the Community 

The same principle holds even for traditional power generation in Southern California. 

The region’s poor air quality makes construction of new power plants difficult and 

unpopular. But if the region does not meet its increasing demand for electricity with 

local generation, it has to boost transmission capacity to bring more power in from 

elsewhere. 

There is no magic solution: The state can have either cleaner, more distant energy 

sources or no new transmission lines -- but not both. A society dependent on high-tech 

devices needs the electricity to run them, and Californians cannot ignore the logistics 

of getting that power to their TVs and computers. 

In the Community, Construction Alerts 

Keep Community Informed 

In April, the community outreach team developed and distributed a construction 

alert to announce construction activities for the Elsinore line replacement-glen ivy 

Project. It was distributed to the Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa and Glen Ivy RV Park, to inform 

customers, visitors and residents of upcoming construction activities. Construction 

alerts like this are frequently generated for Capital improvement Projects that may 

potentially impact the local community. They are delivered prior to the commencement 

of construction activities in order to give ample time for the community to prepare 

for the work and to call the construction hotline with any questions or concerns. 

Construction alerts are also posted on our web site, www.evmwdcipo.com. 

Construction Hotline 

The construction hotline is available for the public to call with any questions or 

concerns about construction activities. Residents and businesses are encouraged to 

call the hotline at 951-893-7116. Calls received after normal business hours will be 

returned between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday 

Web Site 

Our program dedicated web 

site, www.evmwdcipo.com 

is continually updated with 

current program information, 

schedules, community 

outreach materials and much

Temecula Community Leaders Get Caught Reading 

Get Caught Reading” is a nationwide campaign established to remind people of all 

ages how much fun it is to read. May was officially “Get Caught Reading” month, 

although the campaign is promoted year-round. Supported by the Magazine Publishers 

of America (MPA), the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the “Get Caught Reading” 

program was launched in 1999 as the brainchild of former Congresswoman Pat 

Schroeder, President and Chief Executive Officer of AAP, who wanted to spread the word 

about the joys of reading through an industry-supported literacy campaign. 

Research proves that early language experience actually stimulates a child’s brain to grow 

and that reading to children gives them a huge advantage when they start school. The 

“Get Caught Reading” campaign hopes to encourage people of all ages to enjoy books and 

magazines and to share that pleasure with the young children in their lives. 

The “Get Caught Reading” program has the support of well known celebrities, sports figures 

and other notables including Derek Jeter, Jane Seymour, Alicia Keys, “Nancy Drew,” Billy 

Graham, “The Rugrats,” Robyn Williams and First Lady Laura Bush (a former librarian) 

who have all been “caught reading” their favorite books and magazines for print ads and 

posters seen by millions of people across the country. In addition, more than 200 Members 

of Congress have been photographed “caught reading” on Capitol Hill. 

The, “Under the Sun” magazine decided to catch some of our local celebrities reading their 

favorite books. The feature story in the May issue, “Books in Bloom,” commemorated the 

“Get Caught Reading” featured spotlights eight local community leaders—a mayor, pastor, 

college instructor, battalion chief with the County fire dept., police chief, librarian and two 

business owners/philanthropists—and the books that have inspired, impacted or empowered 

their lives. As the publishers of a monthly magazine, Rick and Monica Topete recognize 

the incredible impact books and magazines can have on people’s lives. “We also understand 

that in the technological age in which we live, there is an inundation of information and entertainment 

choices competing for our time and attention—so much so, that we often put 

off reading just for enjoyment,” said Monica. “We want people to make time for books and 

magazines.” Monica quotes the words of Pat Schroeder, president and CEO of the Association 

of American Publishers, “to remember how satisfying and rewarding it can be to browse 

through a book or magazine rack, hold a new book or favorite magazine in your hands and 

discover new worlds on the printed page.” 


To promote the “Get Caught Reading” program and the power of books further, “Under 

the Sun” purchased each of the eight books spotlighted in their special May feature and 

donated them to the Temecula Public Library. Each book contains a nameplate with the 

name of the community leader who recommended it and was part of a special “Get Caught 

Reading” display at the library. 

All Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce members are encouraged to support reading and 

the Temecula Public Library. “Partners in Learning” is a program that represents an ongoing 

partnership between the TVCC and the Friends of the Temecula Library to help the library buy 

books. This unique program will benefit you as a member of the Chamber and at the same 

time help fill the shelves of the Temecula Public Library. Here’s how it works: 

You, as a Chamber member, select the type of book you would like to have added to the 

shelves of the new library. 

Then you select the amount you wish to donate to the Friends of the Temecula Library. 

Then the Friends of the Temecula Library purchase your requested books and place a bookplate 

permanently inside each book cover with your business name. 

All donations are tax deductible. 

The more you donate, the more 

books will be purchased. This 

project is a great way to show the 

citizens of Temecula that you and 

the Chamber support them, the 

library, and that you want them to 

“Get Caught Reading!” 

To become a “Partner in Learning,”

Temecula Valley Chamber Opposes Mandate on Small Business Retailers 

Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce opposes AB 2383 by Assembly Member 

Ruskin, a proposed new law that prohibits any retailer from soliciting, requiring or 

using an individual’s social security number for any purpose unless that number is necessary 

for that business’s normal course of business and there is a specific use for that 

number for which no other number may be used. The new law would also require the use 

of a point-of-sale (POS) device that encrypts the number before transmission. 

“AB 2383 is so broadly written it would force small retail businesses to prohibit the use 

of social security numbers especially when the number is needed to run credit checks 

and other critical transactions to conduct business,” stated Alice Sullivan, President 

and CEO of the Chamber. “The business would also have to possibly purchase new 

equipment, costing the business substantial money at a time when there is an economic 

downturn in California’s economy,” continued Sullivan. 

The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce is urging the United States Secretary 

of Commerce to override the California Coastal Commission’s objection to the 

proposed SR-241 Toll Road expansion. The Temecula Valley Chamber joins other area 

chambers and similar organizations in supporting the Toll Road extension which will 

allow an alternative to I-5, the only north-south route between the city’s of Los Angeles 

and San Diego. 

“This is just one of many crucial links in a freeway system that desperately needs more 

roadways and alternative avenues in order for our region to move our goods,” stated Alice 

Sullivan, President and CEO of the Chamber. “The 241 Toll Road Extension will allow our 

businesses and residents to use an alternative route when traveling to Orange County 

and alleviate some of the traffic on the I-5,” continued Sullivan. 

AB 2383 would also prohibit the business owner from calling into a creditor to check on 

a consumer account which uses the last four numbers of a social security number. This 

verification process of the account holder over the telephone would now be prohibited 

because phone lines do not encrypt the information, forcing the business owner to invest 

in potentially expensive software and possibly a completely different system just to accommodate 

the terms of this new legislation. 

Furthermore, consumers may be adversely affected by the lack of instant credit currently 

available in many retail stores and kiosks because those stores do not possess encrypted 

POS devices. The Chamber agrees with the author of the proposed new law that identity 

theft is a large scale problem, however another alternative needs to found that will not 

negatively impact both the consumer and retail businesses in and around our region 

and ultimately throughout California. AB 2383 is a lose-lose law for both the consumer 

and business.

Temecula Valley Chamber Takes the Lead in Toll Road Extension 

Chamber President & CEO Alice Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer Laura Turnbow 

attended the May 20 – 21 California Business Legislative Summit along with 

Chamber Directors Dennis Frank and Roger Ziemer, immediate Past- President and 

President-Elect of the Southwest California Legislative Council respectively. 

The Summit focused on four defined areas (1) the state’s current and future fiscal and 

legislative conditions (2) election realities and probabilities both at the state and federal 

level (3) visits with our region’s elected officials in the Assembly and Senate (4) 82nd 

annual Sacramento Host Breakfast with presentations by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger 

and CalChamber Board Chair Ed Guiles. 

Prior to the summit CalChamber forwarded a Zoomerang survey to attendees and Cal- 

Chamber members. A brief sampling from the survey indicates 79% of the businesses 

believe the state is on the wrong track from a business perspective, 79% believe business 

conditions in California are worse than 18 months ago, 47% believe the state’s economy 

will worsen in the next six months while 43% believe it will not improve from its current 

condition. 

Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill along with panelists Dan Weintraub of the Sacramento 

Bee, and Dan Schnur of Edelman Public Affairs/Policy reviewed the budget deficit, the 

inability of the state to balance the budget for many years in the past because a lack of 

revenues and continued excessive spending. Also discussed was the very problematic 

current budget that will require substantial cost cutting, increased fee revenue, and 

borrowing against future lottery revenues in order to be balanced. The panel reported 

the current deficit can not be eliminated from any one or multiple sources and politicians 

from both sides of the aisle must work together or the state’s fiscal condition will 

only worsen. 

Completing the Toll Road is critical to the economy of Southern California. Drivers from 

Southern Orange County and Northern San Diego County rely on I-5 as the only major 

north-south artery. A significant accident or natural disaster impacting that corridor 

completely gridlocks the region. The extension would have provided an inland alternative 

to I-5 and would have given drivers a free-flowing choice. The 241 Toll Road was always 

designed to connect to the I-5. 

The current 67-mile Toll Road system, including a completed SR-241 Toll Road extension, 

is part of all long-range plans for the Orange County transportation network. The 

Toll Road extension would be paid for by the Transportation Corridor Agency selling tollrevenue 

bonds to private and institutional investors to pay for construction.

issues. 

TVCC Staff and Directors Attend Sacramento’s California Business Legislative Summit 

Election realities and probabilities at 

the state level will reflect results based 

on political districts said CalChamber 

Legislative Director Rob Lapsley. 

Pro-business politicians have been 

targeted for removal in several districts. 

At the federal level, ABC News 

moderator George Stephanopoulos addressed 

the presidential election and 

the three potential candidates impact 

on the economy if elected, along with 

the continuing uncontrolled rise in oil 

costs per barrel. 

Governor Schwarzenegger reviewed 

the fiscal needs of the state and the 

critical need for both parties working 

together to improve the business environment. 

CalChamber Chair Ed Guiles 

reviewed what members see as major 

issues confronting business: Water, 

electrical transmission lines, costs of 

oil, and the massive state deficit. The 

summit and its attendees reflected a deep concern for the current and future condition 

of the state’s economy, economic impacts from the federal level, and a generally 

unfriendly business environment.

are reflected in healthy and beautiful smiles that have often transformed their lives Dr.
