Eastvale News Exclusive:Eastvale resident Brittany Calderon shares her horrifying experience with our community:

Brittany Calderon:  I was there listening to Jason Aldean. About 4 songs in, we heard noise that sounded like fireworks. We thought nothing of it, so the show went on and everyone stayed calm. A few seconds later, we heard the noise again and this time we knew they were gunshots. We ran as fast as we could to the nearest exit. There was a mob of hundreds of people running for their lives while the gunshots were going nonstop. My friend and I found a “safe spot” across the street behind a big rig and as we as well as maybe 15 others thought we were safe, we heard more gunshots and they sounded really close to us so we ran and ran and ran. I don’t recall everything, but I jumped a fence, hid in an apartment complex, in a construction that was pitch black, a mob of us broke through a glass door, then ran to the Hooters Hotel. We all hid in their restaurant where I came across a young woman who had been shot on her arm and leg. (She was literally right next to me.) During this whole incident I had been so calm, up until I got into Hooters. I absolutely lost it. That was when I decided to call my mom to tell her what was happening. Somehow, someway we got out of the hotel and had a random man give us and two others a ride away from the strip. Now here I am back in Eastvale. I just got home about 3 hours ago. No injuries at all, just very mentally traumatized at the moment. This event was absolutely devastating. I did not think I was going to make it home but here I am. 💪🏽

Peripheral Artery Disease: Are You at Risk?

Courtesy: StatePoint

By StatePoint

Do you blame “getting older” for your leg pain or difficulty walking? Do you just accept it and do the best you can? You could actually be suffering from a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD now affects more than 8.5 million American adults, according to the American Heart Association, and if left untreated, can increase your risk of losing a portion of your toes, feet and legs to amputation. The good news is that PAD can be managed when diagnosed early.

 

PAD is a vascular disease that mainly affects the arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet. It is primarily caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries, called atherosclerosis. This buildup reduces blood flow through the arteries and can lead to pain and lack of mobility. Those at the highest risk of PAD are over the age of 50, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. PAD is also caused by eating high-fat foods, lack of exercise, smoking, stress or excess weight. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chances are of developing PAD.

 

One of the classic symptoms of PAD is a dull, cramping pain in the legs, hips, or buttocks during exercise, such as walking. This pain stops at rest, which is why many people mistake the symptoms of PAD as a normal sign of aging. Other symptoms can include: weakness in legs, skin wounds or sores on your legs, feet, or toes that are slow to heal or foot or toe pain that often disturbs your sleep. While these are classic signs and symptoms, up to 40 percent of individuals with PAD have no leg pain, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, which is why routine check-ups with your doctor are important.

 

“The primary goal is to restore and preserve adequate blood flow to the extremities,” said Dr. Jihad Mustapha, director of cardiovascular research at Metro Health – University of Michigan Health. “When the pain is frequent and the ability to move is affected, this indicates that the disease is progressing. At that point, it may be necessary to treat significantly blocked arteries with a medical procedure, which range from less invasive catheter-based treatments to more invasive surgical options.”

 

Talk to your doctor to find out if you should be screened for PAD and what you can do to lower your risk. Some key questions to ask your doctor include:

 

  • Does my medical history raise my risk for PAD?

 

  • Which screening tests or exams are right for me?

 

  • What is my blood pressure? Do I need to manage these numbers?

 

  • What are my cholesterol numbers? Do I need to do anything about them?

During PAD Awareness Month, talk to your health care provider to find out if you should be screened for PAD and what you can do to lower your risk.

Gov Signs 27 Bills Into Law, Including No Marijuana Use In Cars

By Anthony Saude

 

Sacramento – It’s was a busy week for California’s lawmakers as Friday marked the last day for any bills to be passed ahead of their recess. Any Bill that the governor has in his possession that was previously passed on or after September 15 must be signed or vetoed by October 15 or those bills become law by default.

Governor Brown got to work earlier this week on some legislation already in his possession. On Monday September 18, he signed 24 bills into law and vetoed two others.  With the new recreational marijuana laws taking effect in 2018 this bill would make our laws on using marijuana while driving or riding in cars consistent with our laws on consuming alcohol while driving or riding in vehicles. SB 65 aims at making sure drivers or passengers in vehicles do not smoke or consume marijuana in any form. “This bill simply makes our laws on using marijuana while driving or riding in cars consistent with our laws on consuming alcohol while driving or riding in vehicles. Sen. Jerry Hill, a Democrat representing San Mateo and authored this bill. SB 65 it is viewed as a needed enhancement to Prop. 64. That proposition, which was approved by California’s voters in 2017, stipulated that it’s illegal to have open pot containers in vehicles but doesn’t address the use of cannabis by other passengers or in other forms.

The bill adds marijuana consumption to the law prohibiting alcohol consumption, which is an infraction currently punishable with a base fine of $70,” Hill’s office said.

Governor Brown has combined the Prop 215 (compassionate use act) and Prop 64 (The adult use of medical marijuana) laws so AB 65 of changes to state and city regulations that need to be defined to allow law enforcement to do their jobs with more efficiency. “Joe Nicchitta of the, Los Angeles of Cannabis Management, and hundreds of other key people are involved in very carefully evaluating every step of the process”, Los Angeles Sheriff Department-Walnut/Diamond Bar (LASD) station Lieutenant Anthony Baudino said. “There is a lot to sort out and the 5 million dollars Prop 64 allotted for CHP training isn’t even going to scratch the surface of what will be needed over the next decade or so”. Just think about how many different changes have been made to the drinking and driving laws over the last 20 years. Each change requiring more training, more money, lots of complaints and bad publicity for the officers of the law.

Key people in California and Colorado that travel back and forth to make sure they have all the information about their experiences as we move forward in the process. Lt. Baudino said “contrary to popular belief only 5 counties out of 20 in Colorado have agreed to the law in their county”. “It is still up to the counties if they want to allow it, even in California. The difference he says is that in California it is viewed as the next great gold rush and every wants their piece of the pie”.

Driving is serious business; you are hurling a 4000 lb chunk of steel down a concrete road at dangerous speeds next to another chunk of steel doing the same thing. You should be holding the steering wheel and watching the road not smoking a joint or eating an edible. Driving a car isn’t a recreational thing and you can wait to take your medicine when you get home.

One of the bills that Brown vetoed also had to do with marijuana. SB 663 was aimed at ensuring cannabis packages and labels are not attractive to children.

Brown said in his veto message, “Current law already prohibits cannabis and cannabis products from being designed to be attractive to children,” he added that state licensing authorities are already working on labeling restrictions.

How to Optimize Your Home Office

By StatePoint

The old 9-to-5 isn’t what it used to be. As more companies embrace telecommuting, a growing number of employees are finding that even in the professional realm, there’s no place like home.

Here’s how to set up a home office for success.

• Commission floor plans. It’s a good idea to have plans drawn up by an architect. Knowing your exact square footage has tax-savings implications: If your home office is your principal workplace, you may qualify for a home office tax deduction (for what the IRS calls “business use of your home”) based on the overall area of that space. Plus, an architect may be able to see beyond walls to find potential spatial configurations you might not have considered.

• Define your workspace. Working from home may be an escape from the monotony of cubicle land, but it’s still important to define your workspace. If it’s not possible to turn an existing room into your office, consider using an uncluttered portion of your basement, attic or garage. A tax deduction applies only to space used exclusively as a home office, so simply putting a desk in your living room doesn’t make you eligible, nor will it prevent distractions.

• Get comfortable. Don’t just grab an extra dining room chair. Chair designs have improved thanks to ergonomic research over the last half century. Choose one that will keep your posture vertical and your mind sharp.

• Get lit. Ideally, your home office will have at least one window, but also invest in a swing-arm desk lamp to provide ample illumination for concentrated tasks.

• Clear clutter. Avoid toppling stacks of documents and make the recycling bin your new best friend. A small filing cabinet should be able to hold all your records, and many home furnishings can be repurposed if a filing cabinet feels too corporate.

• Grow something. Not only are there health benefits associated with keeping plants indoors, they’ll be there when you need to take a break. A little gentle pruning can prove meditative, and can be a good way to refocus.

• Keep a schedule. Online newsfeeds and day-to-day housework can be distracting. Approach working at home with the same level of professionalism you’d bring to an office setting. Display a clock and wall calendar for visual reminders of deadlines.

• Communicate. Responding promptly to emails and calls lets co-workers know that you’re reliable. Substitute face-to-face time with FaceTime (or another video-enabled communication service). Thanks to such technology, you can share space with co-workers a continent away.

• Take breaks. Anyone familiar with water cooler chatter knows that offices are highly social. That’s an aspect of your day that can feel like it’s missing. So step outside every few hours; wave to your neighbor or walk to a coffee shop.

CH Man Convicted, Sentenced to Prison For Fullerton Club Abduction, Rape

Courtesy OC District Attorneys Office

SANTA ANA – A man who pretended to be a policeman while kidnapping a woman from outside a Fullerton night club and raping her was sentenced Wednesday to 32 years to life in state prison.

Nelson Mauricio Lunaty Garcia, 34, of Chino Hills was convicted earlier this year of a half-dozen felony counts. He was also found guilty of several misdemeanors, including carrying a loaded firearm.

Posing as a policeman, Garcia approached the woman in the parking lot of InCahoots on the night of Sept. 2, 2015, prosecutors said, and convinced her to take a fake field-sobriety test consisting of him using a tongue depressor and a Q-tip.

Garcia then forced the woman into the backseat of his car, prosecutors said, bound her hands with zip ties, drove her to a secluded location and sexually assaulted her.

Afterwards, Garcia brought the woman back to the nightclub parking lot.

Earlier that night, prosecutors said, Garcia had walked up to another woman, who was sitting alone in her car in the nightclub parking lot. He asked her if she had been drinking, prosecutors said, and offered a “police escort” home, an offer she refused.

A week after the attack, two friends of the sexual-assault victim spotted Garcia in the same nightclub parking lot and called police. While taking Garcia into custody, officer’s found a loaded gun, handcuffs, tongue depressors, Q-tips and cut zip ties in his car.

What You Should Know Before Buying or Leasing a Vehicle this Fall

PHOTO SOURCE: (c) Tomasz Zajda/stock.Adobe.com

By StatePoint

Fall is a popular time to purchase a new vehicle, with new models hitting dealer lots, and significant savings on current model year cars and trucks. Whether this is your first purchase or you’ve done this before, there are more choices than ever when it comes to makes and models of vehicles, and financing options for securing one.

 

Before heading to the dealership, follow these tips to prepare.

 

  • Do your research: Online reviews and safety ratings can be helpful in choosing the car that fits your needs and lifestyle. This information will also come in handy when it comes time to negotiate. Consult reputable independent sources beforehand, like Consumer Reports and Edmunds, to compare vehicles you’re considering.

 

While not as impartial, video reviews or “first drives” on YouTube can help give you a detailed view on vehicles before heading into a showroom. This research can also help you identify questions for your dealer or make you aware of features you can experience while on a test drive, like lane departure warnings or self-parking technology.

 

  • Know your budget: Automotive expenses include monthly payments, car insurance, fuel and maintenance costs. As a general guide, transportation expenses should be less than 20 percent of your monthly budget. Use free resources, such as Ally’s online car payment calculator, to help determine what is realistic for your budget; it’s available at allywalletwise.com/calculator.

 

If you have a vehicle that you will be trading in or selling, estimate its value using tools like Kelly Blue Book. This will come in handy when deciding on trade-in options.

 

  • Decide whether to buy or lease: Consider your lifestyle and budget when exploring financing or leasing options. Be sure to review your credit report, as your score can affect whether you’re approved for financing and the rate you’ll receive.

 

Also, consider new options, such as leasing used vehicles, which are now being offered through institutions like Ally Financial. Whatever option you choose, be sure to know the details of your agreement, whether leasing or financing your car.

 

  • Test drive: Don’t forget to do some hands-on research, as well. Test drive each of your top choices to determine your favorite. You should feel comfortable, confident and safe behind the wheel of the car you select. The longer the test drive, the better. Give yourself as much time as possible to notice the details and get a feel for the vehicle. Most dealers have a predetermined test route, but if you drive a variety of roads, this may not be enough. Ask your salesperson to go for a longer drive that includes highways and backroads. Before or after your test drive, explore the vehicle, touch every button, program the navigation, climb into the backseat, open the trunk or hatch.

Remember that purchasing or leasing a car is a major financial step. Do your research to ensure you’re making the best decision for you.

Large Amount of Cash Found

Sheriff Dept. Looking For Owner

By Michael Armijo

Rowland Heights, CA –A large amount of money that was found in Rowland Heights and turned into the Walnut Diamond Bar Sheriff Station is looking for it’s owner. And if no one come forward, the Sheriff’s Department will deposit it into an account unless the finder makes a claim.

“A resident found the large amount of money and turned it into us, so we are currently looking for the owner,” said Detective Blaylock, from the Rowland Heights substation. “They have 30 days to recover the money, and we will not be releasing the amount, the location, nor the denominations of course. The owner will know those facts.”

The process of unclaimed money is the owner has 30 days to claim the money to get it back. After the 30 days, the FINDER can make a claim to the money. But what if you DON’T report the money?

So what’s the law?

Until now, laws around keeping found cash has been pretty hazy. Technically, the crime is known as ‘theft by finding’.  This means that if you find a wad of cash on the street and don’t try to return it to its owner – by handing it into the shop, for example, or the police – you’re guilty of theft.

What if there’s no way of knowing where it came from?

You should try and find the owner – even if it’s only $5. This is where it gets a little bit more complicated…

Daniel Wise, associate solicitor at Slater Heelis LLP, told Metro.co.uk that not reporting this money is ‘theft’. ‘There are many cases will no doubt come as a surprise to many people, but it serves as a timely reminder of the definition of “theft” – which has remained largely unchanged for almost 50 years,’ he said.

‘Under the Theft Act 1968, a person is guilty of theft if they “dishonestly appropriate property [including cash] belonging to another”.

‘Lost property will continue to “belong to another”, unless it has genuinely been abandoned by the owner. The fact that cash has been dropped in the street does not necessarily mean it has been abandoned.’

However, he adds that in the end it’s down to whether you could reasonably believe the owner of the cash was untraceable, or you had already taken reasonable steps to find them – such as by going to the police.
But for now, a large amount of money is sitting in the Sheriff’s Department looking for it’s owner. If you are, or know of the owner, please contact Det. Blaylock at the Sheriff Sub Station: 626.913.1715, directly: 909.859.2838, email: tblaylo@lasd.org, or go to the Walnut Station located at 21695 Valley Blvd, Walnut, CA 91789.

Dreaming Dreams

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people.
Galatians 6:10

 

I think one of the greatest needs in the Christian community is for individual men and women to dream some dreams about how they can use their talents to impact people’s lives for Christ.

Let me tell you about a family that is making a difference. A small family ministry called Standing with Hope provides prosthetic limbs for below-the-knee amputees, not only in the United States, but also in Ghana, Africa.

The process of adding “skin” covering to make a prosthetic look real can cost thousands of dollars—far too costly for an outreach whose goal is to help as many people as possible be able to walk again. That’s where the family’s 15-year-old son, Grayson Rosenberger, comes in. While noodling over an entry idea for a nationwide science contest, Grayson came across one of his mom’s old, discarded prosthetic legs. He found that by wrapping it in a very common household item, he could give the mechanical limb a realistic shape.

His inexpensive solution? Bubble wrap.

Total cost for application? About one dollar.

No, it doesn’t look like skin. But with the right hose or stockings, the prosthetic leg can be made to look real. And for poverty-stricken adults and children in Africa who are often ostracized and teased for the primitive, bare-bones appearance of a fake leg, this is a confidence-creating alternative.

Bubble wrap. Who’d have thought?

Could it be that there’s a right-under-your-nose opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives—right where you are? Could it be that, if you slowed down and set your mind on seeking God for a way you could really serve Him, He might lay out an idea that’s so simple, you’ll be shocked you didn’t think of it earlier?

Just think. Bubble wrap.

 

Live IT

Every person and every couple has an assignment from God—a ministry. What’s yours? If you can’t articulate your ministry, plan a time when you can begin to pray and think together.

Pray

Express your availability to God, and ask Him to show you the best way to serve.
