Eastvale PD Receives Traffic GrantstaFF reports

Eastvale - The Eastvale Police Department has been awarded a $125,000.00 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long program of spe-cial enforcements and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic-related deaths and injuries. The Eastvale Police Department will use the fund-ing as part of the City’s ongo-ing commitment to keep our

roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education.

After falling dramatically between 2006 and 2010, the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions saw slight increases in 2011 and 2012. Particularly worrisome are recent increases in pedes-trian and motorcycle fatalities and the dangers of distracting technologies. This grant fund-ing will provide opportunities to combat these and other

devastating problems such as drunk and drugged driving and speeding.

“California’s roadways are still among the safest in the nation,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “But to meet future mobility, safety, and sustainability objectives, we must create safer roadways for all users. The Jurupa Valley Police Department will be us-ing these and other resources to reach the vision we all share – toward zero deaths, every

one counts.”Activities that the grant will

fund include:• DUI Checkpoints• DUI Saturation Patrols• Traffic Enforcement Op-

erations• Distracted Driving Enforce-

ment• Night-Time Click It Or

Ticket• Pedestrian Safety Enforce-

ment• Compilation of DUI “Hot

Sheets,” identifying worst-of-

the-worst DUI offenders• Special ized DUI and

drugged driving training, such as Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE)

Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHT-SA).

created an immediate opening to which Joe Tessari was voted in to serve out the remaining two years of DeGrandpre’s term.

At the recent General Elec-tion, three seats on the Council were open. Council members

William Link, and Mayor Pro-Tem Adam Rush ran for reelec-tion, while Councilman Ric Welch did not. Nine candidates applied and campaigned for those positions. In the end, Link and Rush were reelected, along with newcomer, Clint Lorimore.

Lorimore, a small business owner who has lived in East-

vale since 2004, is anxious to start his first term on Eastvale’s Council.

“I am committed to the idea that together, we can make Eastvale a better place to live, work and play. I am looking for-ward to working with my fellow council members to implement policies of smart growth, which will provide comprehensive solutions to the challenges we face as a young and growing community,” said Lorimore.

Rush - who was Eastvale’s First Mayor in 2010, and has been a council member ever since - is excited to continue to work for the people of East-vale and keep this City on the right track toward responsible growth, safe schools and a strong fiscal foundation.

Link - who was nominated to fill Kelly Howell’s vacated seat in 2013 - plans on continuing his focus on economic devel-opment and growth, as well as public and traffic safety.

this year with the resignation of several commissioners for family and job related issues. Melonee Cruse, who was the Chair, also resigned recently due to job responsibilities.

Chris Hook, recently ap-pointed by Mayor Ike Bootsma, is the newest commissioner. Hook hopes to increase and promote safety awareness around school zones and parks in effort to lower the amount of

accidents involving pedestrians. His goals include creating a worry-free and safeguarded environment for parents and children in school zones and recreational areas. Hook brings 20 years of safety and security experience to the job, with 18 years as a proprietor of his own security business.

sense that the more active a body is, the easier it is to remain active; but sometimes injury or illness gets in the way of a body in motion.

“Kinematics” is the study of bodies in motion, and Kinemat-ics Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Clinic is in the business of ensuring that your mobility is as smooth and ef-ficient as possible.

Dr. Matthew H. Fujita, PT, DPT, OCS, is the Director of Ki-nematics Physical Therapy, Inc. As a board-certified orthopaedic physical therapist, Dr. Fujita’s philosophy is to give back what he has been provided with from the people around him.

“My business is in operation to serve others and take care of our local community,” says Fujita. “It is only by sacrificially giving that

we truly receive our reward.”As such, Kinematics spon-

sors and supports sports teams and schools such as the Chino Legends Soccer Club and Elea-nor Roosevelt High School; and businesses like Vantage Point Church, Ignite Youth Ministry, and Living Room International. Dr. Fujita says he is looking for-ward to adopting more schools in the Corona-Norco Unified School District in the near fu-ture.

Kinematics is a clinic truly dedicated to getting their pa-tients better, faster. They prac-tice therapy by evidence-based standards, and design treat-ments to dynamically conform to the patient on a daily basis (as opposed to the boredom of a set program).

“I treat the whole patient by placing equal value on the physi-cal as much as the mental and spiritual stabilities,” says Fujita.

Dr. Fujita, who has been

practicing for five years now, has a B.S. in Kinesiology from Cal State San Bernardino, a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Azusa Pacific University, and completed his Orthopaedic Residency at Rancho Physical Therapy. He takes his practice very seriously, and says that he loves being able to serve others to help restore their wellness.

“The best gratification is to see someone be able to return back to their normal activities through hard work and dedica-tion,” says Fujita.

Kinematics provides free orthopaedic assessments and athletic screenings. They also offer three treatments with an athletic evaluation for just $20. In addition, home evaluations and treatments are available by appointment. And ask about their in-clinic discount for cash-payment patients.

Kinematics Physical Therapy and Sports Performance is lo-

cated in the Norco Campus Of-fice Park, at 1761 Third Street, Suite 105, in Corona (92860). They proudly serve Eastvale,

Norco, Corona, Chino, Mira Loma, Ontario and Riverside. And see their ad on Page 11 of this publication.

Did You Know?staFF reports

According to Del Monte Foods – prominent grower, distributor and marketer of a variety of vegetables, fruits, and other foods - 30 million green-bean casserole dishes made a grand appearance on Thanksgiving tables this year, and that’s no surprise. Since the Campbell’s Soup Company came up with their famous recipe a la cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions in 1955, menu planners nationwide make sure a version of this staple is included for holiday dinners.

Del Monte – in accordance

with their Green Bean Index – has conducted a study to see which states have the

most love for the green-bean casserole. Their bean coun-ters asked 1,500 Americans

to rate their “fondness for the dish,” and they came up with a listing of the Top 20 States with an affinity for the green bean.

The top three states are Kentucky (78% of residents ‘really like or love the dish’); Wisconsin (77%); and Mis-souri (76%); which seems about right since the clas-sic Green-Bean Casserole seems like a good, old-fash-ioned, mid-western dish. New Yorkers bottomed out the list with a more modest affection of 60%. And Californians hit the mid-mark, coming in at #9 with 69%.

Apparently there are some

madcap chefs out there who do not adhere to the recipe, and the Del Monte study also found out the top five favorite secret ingredients that pushed the dish a bit over the top.

The number one ingredient is bacon (37%); followed by cheese (19%); mushrooms (15%); breadcrumbs – or a version thereof (12%); and almonds (8%).

If you didn’t serve the fa-mous Green-Bean Casserole this Thanksgiving, but are feeling a bit nostalgic, visit http://www.campbellskitchen.com to get the recipe, and put the classic dish on your next holiday table.

isting felonies as misdemean-ors for specified offenses that are currently charged in our county. These resentencing and reclassification changes are not available for persons who are required to register per Penal Code (PC) Section 290, or have prior convictions for offenses listed in PC Section 667(e)(2)(c)(iv). These changes take effect immediately.

The theft offense of shoplift-ing (PC 459.2) is changed to punish commercial burglary as a misdemeanor if the offense occurred during business hours, and if the suspect entered the commercial building with the intent to take property that does not exceed $950 in value.

Furthermore, Subsection (b) of PC 459.2 precludes charging a defendant with both burglary and theft of the same property. We will no longer be able to charge a qualifying offender with felony burglary if the defendant enters a store during business hours to steal merchandise with a value of less than $950.

PC Sections 473 and 476 re-

garding Forgery will be amend-ed to punish violations only as misdemeanors; however, if the defendant is also convicted of identity theft in violation of PC Section 530.5, neither convic-tion will be reduced to misde-meanor.

PC Section 490.2 regarding Grand Theft (catch-all) will take effect to ensure that all grand theft violations - including those outlined in Section 487 - will only be punished as a misdemeanor. As a result, even grand theft of a firearm will no longer qualify as a strike offense, assuming the defendant is eligible for Proposition 47 relief (i.e., has no disqualifying priors or registra-tion requirements).

PC Section 496 regarding Receiving Stolen Property will be amended to punish this crime as a felony if the receipt of the stolen property exceeds a value of $950.

PC Section 666 regarding Petty Theft with Prior Conviction is amended to prohibit felony punishment for any repeat theft offender, unless the defendant is ineligible for relief as a result of a disqualifying prior conviction.

Eastvale - The holidays are a time of family and celebra-tion, and that celebration also includes the family pets. While

most of us know the holiday dangers in regard to keeping our homes and families safe, pets are just as likely to be injured from owner negligence. Follow these important tips to ensure that the holidays are a

tion of Health &Safety Code sections 11350, 11377, and 11357 will only be punishable as misdemeanors unless the defendant has a disqualifying conviction listed in PC Section 667(e)(2)(c)(iv), or are required to register per PC 290.

In response to Proposition 47, for the City of Eastvale Police Department it will be business as usual. We are still going to enforce these violations and use proactive, targeted enforce-ment to arrest offenders and get them into the court system. In order to achieve this, we will maintain high visibility around our City and increased patrols around our shopping centers and commercial areas to help keep the community safe during the holidays.

This year our City will also see an increase in Police Of-ficers on bike patrols around our shopping centers that will specifically be looking to en-force many of these restruc-tured theft offenses. This will allow our Officers to be more visible and accessible to the public, and help dispel any concerns that these changes will affect the delivery of our Police services.

Prop 47: What does it mean for Eastvale?

Five Holiday Safety Tips To Keep Pets Safetime of joy for all the members of your family.

1. Secure Your Christmas Tree: Securely anchor your Christmas tree so it doesn’t tip and fall, causing possible injury to your pets. This will also prevent the tree water - which may contain fertilizers that can cause stomach upset - from spilling. Stagnant tree water is also a breeding ground for bac-teria, and your pet could end up with nausea or diarrhea should they ingest it.

2. Avoid Tinsel on Trees: While sparkly and eye-catch-ing, tinsel can be swallowed by pets, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, se-vere vomiting, dehydration and possible surgery.

3. Holiday Food is Not Pet

Eastvale News 5December 2014 poliCe/Fire

Food: Chocolate and anything sweetened with Xylitol is very dangerous for animals. Keep in mind, animals will go to great lengths to chomp on something tasty. Be sure to keep your pets away from the table and unat-tended plates of food, and se-cure the lids on garbage cans.

4. Holiday Lights: Keep wires, batteries, and glass or plastic ornaments out of the reach of paws. An exposed wire can deliver a potentially lethal electrical shock, and a punc-tured battery can cause burns to the mouth and esophagus. Shards of breakable ornaments can also damage your pet’s mouth and digestive tract.

5. New Year’s Celebration

Noise: As you count down to the New Year, please keep in mind that strings of thrown confetti can get lodged in an animal’s intestines, if ingested, possibly necessitating surgery. Noisy poppers can terrify pets and cause possible damage to sensitive ears. Just like the Fourth of July, the clanging of pots and pans, firecrackers, and other loud disturbances can cause outside pets to become fearful and attempt to leave your yard in search of shelter. Keep pets safely inside as midnight approaches.

Summit was held on Wed., Nov. 19, in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Lin was among exem-plary local school chiefs who were recognized for their leadership in helping transition their districts to digital learn-ing. This unique opportunity was another example of how CNUSD continues to be a flag-ship district for many endeav-ors that assist in providing a high quality education for all students.

“I am proud to represent CNUSD, as well as Riverside County, as one of the 100

Dr. Lin goes to Washingtonschool superintendents in the nation to lead capacity building for education technology. I be-lieve this important endeavor begins with a solid foundation of technology infrastructure built with student achievement in mind,” said Lin.

“The CNUSD Board of Trustees has established education technology as a priority in our Local Control Accountability Plan and the community has recently vali-dated this by passing a local school improvement bond measure,” Lin added. “I am honored and humbled by this nomination and look forward to working with the nation’s superintendents in getting

our school technology ready for the future. Our goal is to continuously provide a student-centered learning that transforms teaching and approaches to instruction as evidenced by our CNUSD district portal initiative.”

Akin to the classic 1939 Capra film, “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington,” portraying one man’s effect on American politics, Dr. Lin’s nomination as one of the 100 top school leaders across America at-tending this important summit shows his tremendous com-mitment to quality education and the effect it will have on the future of our CNUSD students.

Traffic Grant Awarded To Chino PDstaFF reports

Chino - The California Of-fice of Traffic Safety (OTS) has awarded the Chino Police Department a $139,280 grant for special enforcement and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries from impaired and distracted driving. The funding is designed for a year and fur-ther supports the City’s ongoing commitment to keeping the roadways safe and improve the quality of life through enforce-ment and education.

“Remember, it’s not worth

the risk,” states Chino Police Chief Miles Pruitt, “far too often our citizens are injured, and sometimes killed, as a result of traffic collisions caused by unsafe, impaired or distracted drivers. With the assistance of OTS we will be able to increase our enforcement efforts and hopefully keep more tragedies like these from happening.”

After falling drastically be-tween 2006 and 2010, the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions slightly increased in 2011 and 2012. Particularly worrisome are recent increases in pedes-

trian and motorcycle fatalities and the dangers of distracting technologies. This grant fund-ing will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as drunk and drugged driving and speeding.

“California’s roadways are still among the safest in the nation,” said Office of Thrift Supervision Director, Rhonda Craft. “But to meet future mobil-ity, safety and sustainability ob-jectives, we must create safer roadways for all users. The Chino Police Department will be using these and other re-

sources to reach the vision we all share toward zero deaths; every one counts.”

Activities that the grant will fund include:

• Educational Presentations• DUI Checkpoints• DUI Saturation Patrols • Motorcycle Safety Enforce-

ment• Distracted Driving Enforce-

ment• Seat Belt and Child Safety

Seat Enforcement• Speed, Red Light and Stop

Sign Enforcement• Pedestrian and Bicycle

Safety Enforcement

• Warrant Service Opera-tions (targeting multiple DUI offenders)

• Compilation of DUI Hot Sheets (identifying worst-of-the-worst DUI offenders)

• Specia l ized DUI and Drugged Driving Training, such as Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving En-forcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE)

California – Apparently there is a hidden Gas Tax coming our way, as soon as Jan. 1, 2015, and efforts to change the effect this will have on Californians by Senate Republican Leader, Bob Huff – and others - have been ignored.

“I am very much opposed to California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) decision to bring gas, diesel and natural gas under the cap-and-trade provision of AB 32. The gasoline and diesel fuel hikes coming in

January 2015 will hurt every-one, especially lower income families, widening the income inequality gap and making life much harder for those who can least afford it. Currently, one in four Californians live in poverty – the highest rate in the nation - and families are still strug-gling to recover from the great recession,” said Senator Huff (representing California’s 29th District) in his October 2014 “Huff Headlines” newsletter.

On August 22, Senate Re-publicans sent a letter to Gov-ernor Jerry Brown, Senate

President Pro-Tempore Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) and Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), urging their support for any of three options to prevent or delay a significant cost increase on gasoline, die-sel and natural gas in California by as much as 76 cents a gal-lon on Jan. 1, 2015.

According to Huff, suggested options were ignored. Senate Bill 1079 by Senator Andy Vidak (R-Hanford) would have exempted gasoline, diesel, and natural gas from the state’s cap-and-trade program, there-

by stopping the hidden gas tax. SB 1079 was not allowed a hearing by the Democratic majority.

A second option was to support AB 69 by Assembly member, Henry T. Perea (D-Fresno), which was amended to delay putting fuels under the cap-and-trade program until Jan. 1, 2018, with bipartisan support. It died in the Senate Rules Committee.

The 3rd option was for Gov. Brown to exercise his execu-tive authority to direct CARB to exclude the fuels from the

cap-and-trade program. Usu-ally a tax is associated with some spending plan, and one can only assume (according to Huff) that the governor may want to spend the new taxes on his “high speed train to no-where.”

Every citizen against the gas hikes must let their views be known now. Contact the governor by letter or phone, as follows: Governor Jerry Brown, c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173, Sacramento, CA, 95814; Phone (916) 445-2841; or Fax (916) 558-3160.

Two IE Men Plead Guilty To ATM RobberiesstaFF reports

riverside - Two men re-sponsible for a series of ATM robberies in which they used power tools and a truck to forcibly open safes inside drive-up ATMs at facilities operated by JP Morgan Chase Bank have pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy that stole nearly a half million dollars.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office, David Joseph Silva, Jr., 25, of Fontana, pleaded guilty on Mon., Nov. 17 to conspiracy to commit bank larceny, a charge that carries a statu-tory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.

Silva pleaded guilty before United States District Judge, Jesus G. Bernal, who sched-uled a sentencing hearing for February 23.

On Mon., Nov. 10, James William Costilow, 38, of Riv-erside, pleaded guilty to the

same conspiracy charge. Judge Bernal scheduled Costilow’s sentencing hear-ing for February 9.

During their guilty pleas, Silva and Costilow admitted that they attempted to break into Chase Bank ATMs in three counties 15 times over a six-month period. The pair successfully got into the safes inside ATMs on four occasions and conspired to steal approximately $462,093

in cash. In some of the thefts, the pair sto le the entire AT M d e -vice, while in later at-tempts they used power saws or a “ j a w s o f life” device to gain ac-cess to the safes.

Silva and Costilow were arrested on Sept. 22 after an unsuccessful ATM robbery in Murrieta, in which they first attempted to cut the hinges on the safe doors and then tried to pull the doors off with a truck. The attempt failed when the bumper came off the truck.

This case is the product of an investigation by the FBI and the Murrieta Police Department.

Eastvale - After two long months of preparation, the Drama Department at Eleanor Roosevelt High School proudly put on an amazing show - Seussical the Mu-

Dual ImmersionBy eMily aguilar

Eastvale - On Nov. 3, foreign language teachers at Eleanor Roosevelt High School led a small presentation on the ben-efits of their Dual Immersion Program.

Dual Immersion is a curricu-lum that gives English-speaking students an opportunity to learn their school lessons in both in English and a selected foreign language. This begins early in elementary school, and is meant to sharpen a student’s intellect of a foreign language to prepare them for further academic suc-cesses.

Despite its numerous ben-efits, students tend to drop out of the Spanish program by

high school. In fact, only 11 of the estimated 40 students are still in the program at ERHS. Therefore, a presentation led by AP Spanish Language teacher, Cristina Sanchez, and former AP Spanish and Spanish for Na-tives teacher, Brian Suchsland, was conducted in order to show 120 elementary students from Washington and Garrison Ele-mentary Schools what to expect of the program as they continue their education.

“Our purpose is to show that even if the program is rigorous at first, it pays off in the end. Of course, learning Spanish effi-ciently only comes with practice, but it will help these students feel prepared in the world be-yond school,” said Sanchez.

The 11 students participating in the Spanish Dual Immersion Program were present to con-vince other students to stay in the program. These students expressed their admiration for the program, spoke about their experiences, and also shared the interesting projects they did in class for Dia De Los Muertos.

“I think it’s important for these kids to stay in the program,” said Sebastian Bonilla, a junior who has been in the program since elementary school. “Spanish is an essential language to learn, and I believe that with this education, the students will go far in life.”

Through their admiration of the Spanish language, the

In response to the murder of DEA agent, Enrique Camarena – who was tortured to death and found in Mexico in 1985 - angered parents and youth in communities across the coun-try began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commit-ment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America.

This year ’s Red Ribbon theme was, “Love Yourself: Be Drug Free,” promoted Oc-tober 23 – 31.

delight is a perfect wheat kernel that has been magically trans-formed into warm, nutritious, whole-grain goodness - cleverly disguised as a beautiful loaf of bread – just waiting to dazzle you with superior taste and satisfaction.

To say that Eastvale is lucky to become the newest home for the Great Harvest Bread Company is – in my humble opinion – an understatement. For more than 30 years, Great Harvest has been pursuing perfection in the baking of their breads, and very soon citizens in and around Eastvale will be able to enjoy their full range of incredibly tasty treats, including a wide variety of artisan breads, sandwiches, cookies, muffins, and much more.

Most important, perhaps, are the benefits of whole grains that

Great Harvest comes to Eastvaleharvest from page 1

you will easily be able to pro-vide for your family by making breakfast and school lunches with the Honey Whole Wheat or Farmhouse White choices; but there is something so com-forting and soul-feeding about freshly baked bread. Grilled cheese takes on a whole new meaning when you pair it with the Cheddar Garlic Bread. Ever tried a roast beef sand-wich with fresh Chimichurri sauce? If you aren’t already salivating, know this…your family will throw a ticker-tape parade in your honor when you make them French toast using the Cinnamon Chip bread. I could go on and on.

Meredith Sumenek, the own-er of Eastvale’s Great Harvest Bread Company, is very ex-cited to be opening the doors to her all natural bread and sandwich shop in the city she calls home.

“We grind our whole wheat flour on site for the freshest

bread around – without pre-servatives,” says Sumenek. “As owner, I strive to find the freshest ingredients and sup-port other local businesses by purchasing as much as I can locally.”

Sumenek has been baking since she was a toddler, and because her mother never bought bread from the store, but baked every roll, cookie, cake, pie and loaf of bread from scratch, she has very dis-cernible tastes and standards. After 20 years in the financial services industry, becoming a professional baker was a very logical choice for her.

“Our [Great Harvest] breads and sweets taste like no other. Every loaf of bread is hand-crafted from start to finish in the store daily. We knead every single loaf and roll it by hand until it is the way your mother or grandmother would have made it,” Sumenek says (and I believe her). “We do not take

shortcuts…it takes five hours to make a single loaf of bread, and it shows in the taste and texture as well as the healthy ingredients,” Sumenek goes on to say.

“Our sandwiches are fresh and amazing with all of our sauces made from fresh in-gredients in the store,” she continues. How about smoky ham and slightly melted brie cheese, with tart green apples and a homemade mustard-apricot spread on – if I might be so bold – Cranberry Orange bread? Just sayin’…

When asked why she got into the Great Harvest busi-ness, Sumenek says, “I do this because I have a tremendous love of fantastic tasting, healthy bread, and the desire to be a part of the local community. Great Harvest Bread Com-pany is a way to help build the marvelous community we are all making here in the Inland Empire, and I want to have

something to pass on to my family, friends and team.”

If you’ve had the pleasure of visiting a Great Harvest Bread Company location, you know what you’re in for. I’m not say-ing that the drive to Temecula is in vain just for a loaf of their bread (okay, lots of reasons to visit our local vineyards), but now I no longer have to buy in bulk. I can just run ‘round the corner to my favorite bakery any time I like. Trips to Tem-ecula can now focus on the perfect grape to accompany my local bread purchases.

So don’t take my word for it, visit our new Great Harvest Bread Company, with an open-ing date scheduled for Dec. 5 in the grand city of Eastvale. Mer-edith Sumenek will be waiting for you, saying, “I look forward to meeting all of you, sharing old memories, and making new friendships.”

We Accept The Love We Think We DeserveBy JenniFer Jester-Madrigal

Show me what you think you are, and I’ll show you what you actually are, and then you can decide which ve rs ion o f yourself is the one you wish to portray to the world.

How many of us have had this conversation with ourselves time and time again only to come to the same conclusion each time? I don’t deserve “this” or I don’t deserve “that” because of something I have done, or simply because I am not enough. It’s amazing the power your thoughts can have

over your entire life, often drasti-cally altering your own path.

I was lucky in that I grew up in a loving home, with loving parents and great examples of what family, love and friendship look like. My father loved my mother and she loved him, and we were kissed and hugged and smothered with attention as well. We had the suburban upbringing: two kids and a dog - sans the picket fence (ours was a block wall) - and a neighborhood full of friends to play with until the street lights came on and we rushed our dirty hands and tousled hair back to our happy homes.

But somewhere along the transition from jubilant child to responsible adult, I stopped see-

ing myself as “deserving” of the love I had witnessed growing up. I let my own guilt and apathy for others override my own right to be loved as deeply and sincerely as I once was.

As a woman and a mother I began to believe that everyone else came first, and while I still think this is a great philosophy to live by, it’s not exactly correct. If you put the needs of others in front of your own, you can avoid becoming a selfish person, but there has to be a line drawn at some point. You are in charge of that line, and the power that comes with that is profound.

Loving another does not mean that you do it at the expense of your own soul. If you are

Holidays. Wow! You inspired me to do the same for the person behind me.

• RUBIES to the amazing Rob-ert the Window Guy, who fixed my window at a very reasonable cost. He also gave my daughter a mirror and brought us a couch to replace the old tattered one we had. I love our Community!

• RUBIES to Lydia Kray! She recently threw a Shrimp Boil Fundraiser for 75 people at her house in Eastvale for a little 8-year old boy with terminal cancer.

She is also a mentor for teens through Inspire Life Skills, which is a program for foster kids that have aged out of foster care; as well as a volunteer for a new company that provides an ICU Mobile Clinic for the underprivileged. Please recognize her. She deserves it!

• RUBIES to Coach Hector Chavez, who always gives us rides, runs with us, buys us ham-burgers after our races, and puts up with a van full of super stinky boys after a race.

• ROCKS to the people who STILL speed down Hamner Av-enue, practically taking out kids walking to school, all while putting

their make-up on and throwing trash out of the window.

• ROCKS to the criminal who stole the package off my front porch! Hope you enjoy all the gauze and first aid products. Sorry it wasn’t the new iPhone 6, but hey, save it for Halloween and you can go as a Mummy!

• ROCKS to the neighbor who called the Sheriff to claim we had our camper out for a week. It was there for one day so we could pack it up for Thanksgiving! I’m sure you and your non-compli-ant fence and the old beater car that sits and never moves are in COMPLETE compliance.

For The Love Of CarterBy Carissa herB

Eastvale - As a child, the last thing on your mind are the troubles that will follow you as you start to age. For young Carter Forsyth - who is one of 50,000 U.S. children suffering from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthri-tis (JIA) - this is a problem that he is facing daily. However, Carter, 4, is making a difference with the help of his grandfather, Jerry Davis, and other sympa-thetic family members.

JIA is an autoimmune, in-flammatory joint disease that presents with varying degrees of pain, swelling, stiffness, lethargy and a reduction or loss of mobility. Growth retar-dation is common in children with JIA, and this symptom is often exacerbated with medica-tions typically used to treat the disease. Muscle weakness or loss, and osteoporosis are also possible conditions associated with JIA.

Earlier this year on Sept. 13, Carter’s grandfather - or as he likes to call him, Papa - participated in a 525 mile bike ride down California’s coast. During the 12 weeks of riding, Davis managed to raise $13,000 to be donated to the Arthritis Foundation. Davis

has already begun to prepare for next year’s big ride, and plans on raising $40,000 - all of which will be donated to the Arthritis Foundation to further the search for a cure.

And yet the ride is about much more than the money. Davis reflected on his experi-ence training for the ride and touches on a moment that struck home for him.

On an extraneous day of riding, Davis mentioned that he was tempted to discontinue his participation in the ride, until he saw his son, J.T.’s, initials on the side of an old barn. J.T. was Davis’ son who had passed

away recently, and the initials gave him the strength to cont inue on for both J.T. and Carter.

Presently Carter has started a new medication, and it seems to be help-ing with the pain and the progres-sion of the arthritis. He also spends his Friday mornings having breakfast with his Papa.

Carter has to have his usual

pancakes with eggs and hash browns. He brags about his favorite restaurant on Mars called the Space Rover. He promises that the next time he goes to Mars he will bring his grandfather with him so that they can hang out.

Carter’s family has continued to raise money to donate to the Foundation. Most recently, one of his cousins asked for dona-tions to the Foundation instead of presents for her birthday.

a follower of Christ, then any love that takes you away from His path is at the expense of your own soul. Loving another shouldn’t hurt. While there is often emotional pain involved in loving another person, that love should not cause your heart to constantly ache. True love builds you up and makes you a greater version of yourself; it does not tear you down with ugly words and forgotten promises. Loving another means you let them be “themselves” even if that “self” isn’t what you completely under-stand. The greatest gift you can give another is to allow them to

be who they are, and accept them with all their craziness, all their insecurities, and all their unique imperfections.

The strange thing is that when you turn these gifts around and apply them to yourself, you real-ize that until you can love your-self in this same way, you really can’t truly love another. What we think we deserve – consciously or unconsciously - we accept. It is only when we change our own perceptions and really start lov-ing ourselves in that same self-less way that we can demand the love we know we deserve. Life is too short to settle; so don’t.

been a proponent of ensuring that what is ultimately built on his property is beneficial to Eastvale.

After many negotiations, the property has been re-zoned to be primarily used for commercial and retail development, with a small percentage retained for residential housing. The housing is a requirement of the State of California.

The Leal Property was previ-ously zoned for agricultural as well as some residential devel-opment. With the new Land Use Plan, the area was able to be re-zoned to include mixed-use

purposes for retail, office, civic, etc. This will pave the way for the development of a large downtown area that combines commercial and retail with open spaces and landmark features that would become a major part of Eastvale’s economy and esteem.

The land is now “entitled,” and according to Eastvale Councilmember Bill Link, this will provide a more streamlined process for applicants to come in and develop the land. Since the re-zoning has already taken place, they will be able to save time and money. Developers can now just draw up plans for their desired location (per zon-ing requirements), submit their

plans to the City, pay their fees, obtain an Environmental Impact Review, and build. Link esti-mates that this will save them about a year of time.

The new Specific Plan is ex-pected to come before the City Council in January or February 2015 for approval, after it goes through the Planning Commis-sion.

According to Leal at a previ-ous meeting about the project, “This is a big project and it will develop slowly. I don’t want some guy to just come in and build a big building.”

Instead Leal hopes that it will come in phases of construction and establish a real Downtown Eastvale feeling.

ments section of the meet-ing, Eastvale resident Cesar Morales spoke about the sign ordinances. He felt that the City and the Council need to take a stronger stand on consistently enforcing the ordinance that they put into place. In his opin-ion, builders and some realtors do not seem to be following the rules and he wants someone to be accountable for it. Morales even volunteered his time.

The Consent Calendar, in-cluding items 6.1 through 6.10, was passed 5-0. A full listing of these items can be found on the City website at www.eastvale.gov.

During the Public Hearings section, a representative from Goodman-Bircher spoke about the changes they made to be more in line with the requests of the Council. Some of these changes were a revised land use plan, removal of the po-tential fulfillment center from Hamner Avenue frontage; and a commitment to build a full service hospital, as well as limiting the retail area to retail uses. The Planning Commis-

sion voted on Oct. 15 to recom-mend the Council approve all of the project components. After a brief question and answer sec-tion, the Council approved the project.

There were no Old Business items.

The new Business Items consisted of 9.1, which was the Reorganization and Compen-sation plan. This allowed the City Manager to promote cur-rent Public Information Officer, Michele Nissen, to Assistant City Manager; and included the promotion of an Accounting Specialist and a part-time Code Enforcement Technician. In ad-

dition, the Council was asked to authorize the open recruitment of a Senior Administrative Ana-lyst, an Administrative Analyst II and an Administrative Analyst I.

son. While many celebrate the festive occasion with gift giving, Christians gather to celebrate an even greater gift, Jesus our Savior. The greatest gift of salvation was given to mankind through Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9).

With much of the attention on shopping and gift giving,

the remembrance of Christ has slowly faded from the “holy-day.” Families gather to exchange gifts and a meal together but often forget the greatest gift of all. While they may enjoy receiving the lat-est gadget or trendy clothing, they neglect the gift that won’t break or go out of style.

duty at third base. Everything was going fine…until the fourth inning.

That’s when Brenly commit-ted not one, not two, not three, but a record-tying four errors in the same inning – including two on the same play. In fact, he almost had a fifth error.

“I missed a head-high line drive that tipped off the web-bing of my glove and went into left field,” Brenly said. “If they hadn’t called that one a hit, my name would have stood alone in the record books.”

The home crowd booed. Brenly’s coaches and team-mates avoided even look-ing at him. But his manager left him in the game. Good thing.

When Brenly came up to bat the following inning, he smashed a solo home run. His next at-bat was a two-run single in the seventh to tie the game. And with the final plate appearance of the day in the ninth inning, he stroked a game-winning homer. His manager later commented, “This man deserves to be the Comeback Play of the Year for this game alone.”

of the holidays. And, of the hundreds of films created to celebrate the season, one always tops the list of favor-ites: How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The saga of a green guy with a heart “two sizes too small” strikes a chord with audiences – and for good reason.

While some refer to De-cember as the “most wonder-ful time of the year,” there are many people who would

disagree. From relationship problems and financial woes to work responsibilities and time constraints, everyday life is difficult enough. Add in the demands of the holi-day season, and you have a recipe for disaster. In fact, studies reveal that depression, anxiety, and stress all peak at Christmastime. Therefore, it is no surprise that many can relate to the Grinch’s heart condition.

One of the reasons our hearts aren’t quite what they should be during the holidays is because of unresolved is-sues. Owning up to your problems is the first step to-ward healing. Asking for, or granting, forgiveness is also important. The process of curing what ails you may be painful, terrifying, and un-pleasant, but the results are extraordinary.

Proverbs 27:19 says, “As a

face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the person.” The way you view Christmas has nothing to do with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and everything to do with the state of your heart. By taking the proper steps, you can ensure that the reason for the season will shine through!

some exuberance, and for others it’s shopping.

Unfortunately, Christmas has lost its meaning in our modern culture. More are mindful of a tree than the manger. I am all about the fes-tivities and family traditions. I love opening gifts and sharing stories with family. But the true message of Christmas doesn’t lie in gift wrap.

The heart of Christmas is

that God gave us the best gift ever in His Son Jesus Christ. We see several responses in the Bible to the birth of our Savior. Creation’s response was a star to tell the world a King had been born (Numbers 24:17). The angels responded with worship (Luke 2:13-14). Magi (wise men) responded with gifts of worship, whom were also guided by the Star (Matthew 2:2). The Shepherds

God’s great miracles. And there were many more miracles lead-ing up to Jesus’ birth, with many more to come in His life.

tion) gift-wrapping in front of Kohl’s in the Eastvale Gateway Shopping Center, on Sat., Dec. 13, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by with your purchases and let us put a little more joy into the joy of giving.

This year, Edgewater will be hosting three Christmas services and two distinct worship experi-ences. The festivities begin with our “Christmas Music Celebra-

responded by running to see Jesus, then telling everyone about what they saw (Luke 2:17). The Bethlehem Star signified God’s response to the world’s greatest need. That was to be saved from sin and be given hope of Heaven (John 3:16).

The wonder and beauty of Christmas is that Jesus took His place in a manger so that we might have a home

in Heaven. Our Savior was wrapped in nothing more than common rags. The Star rested over an ordinary manger, which held the greatest gift in the simplest of wrapping (Luke 2:7).

Calvary Chapel Eastvale meets Sundays, 10:30 a.m., at Clara Barton Elementary (7437 Corona Valley Ave., Eastvale). Visit their website at www.Cal-varyEastvale.org.

teammate.Live It: Talk about any re-

cent failures in your life or your spouse’s life. Discuss how you can encourage each other to stay with it and keep believing.

Pray: Thank God for how He comforts us and empow-ers us to keep stepping out in faith. Pray for the persever-ance to press on.

Our beautiful Christmas Eve Candlelight services will be of-fered at both 3 and 5 p.m. All

services will be held at Harada Elementary.

Join us, and discover that God is still in the miracle business. This Christmas, Jesus just might be your miracle.

Eastvale Special Enforcement Team (SET), with 13 arrests made. Some of these incidents are still being addressed in the court system. These arrests are often hard to bring to conviction as the actual perpetrators are difficult to catch and the opera-tions are vast and far-reaching into many parts of California and even the United States.

This year, citizens have been more aware of this phenom-enon and have actively re-ported suspicious activity. This has helped create a deterrent to individuals looking to grow marijuana indoors within the City of Eastvale.

“Our Special Enforcement Team aggressively investigates all reports of indoor cultivation, and they are widely known around Riverside County,” says Pemberton regarding the suc-cess in this area.

In 2014, the Eastvale SET conducted nine investigations into indoor grows in the City and served four search warrants. Two people have been arrested and their cases are pending.

Traffic Safety is a hot topic in Eastvale, and Lt. Pember-ton has been asked repeat-edly what citations are most frequently written by Police Officers around schools. They are as follows:

• CVC 22352(b)(2) – Driving in excess of 25 mph in a school

Eastvale crime: A 2014 recapzone during restricted hours (when children are active).

• CVC 21212(a) - Person un-der 18 operating or riding as a passenger on a bicycle without wearing an approved helmet.

• CVC 21950(a) - Failure to yield to pedestrians in a cross-walk.

• CVC 21461(a) - Disobeying Official Traffic Control Signs.

• CVC 22400(a) – Driving on a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block

the normal and reasonable movement of traffic unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation.

The Eastvale traffic team will be conducting holiday safety programs and DUI Check-points routinely to maintain a steady presence and to serve as a reminder around the City of Eastvale to drive safely and be aware of surroundings. The Eastvale Police Department will also continue to conduct en-

forcements around our schools to keep children safe and help ease traffic congestion.

The Hit-and-Run death of Troy Davids that happened in April 2014 resulted in the arrest of Riverside County resident, Casey Coltrain. Coltrain, who had already been in jail on a pri-or arrest, was initially charged with 2nd degree murder and hit-and-run.

As of press time, Coltrain is awaiting his preliminary

hearing, which is expected to take place around the second week of December. Lt. Michael Yates was one of the lead investigators on this incident, and he has continued to follow the case.

“No family should ever have to go through what the Davids’ have been through, I’m just glad that with the community’s help, we were able to ensure that Coltrain won’t ever hurt anyone again,” said Yates.
