Corona – Many make a habit of
cleaning their home, but how often do you clean your dryer vents and HVAC
ducting?
Owner and operated of Corona Dryer Vent Cleaning, Kevin Blue,
says, “It’s important to know the dangers of neglecting a clogged dryer
vent.” A clogged dryer vent can be a fire hazard and a health hazard, according
to hbairduct.com. When it’s clogged, it can send carbon monoxide back in to
your home or it can possibly catch on fire.
However, Corona Dryer Vent Cleaning can help! They are
simply the best at cleaning, repairing, replacing and rerouting dryer vent lines.
They can also do the same for your HVAC ducting.
Dryer Vent Cleaning has been family owned and operated since
1982. “We are the little company who covers a very large area,” said Blue. “We
believe in family, we love God, and we value our community.”
They are the champions in their industry because they offer “upfront
pricing and deliver only quality service,” said Blue.
Blue has been in the cleaning industry since 1982. He found a love for the industry right out of
high school. Blue received his first
IICRC certification in 1982 where he became an IICRC Carpet Cleaning
Technician. From then on, he never
looked back. Over the years, the certifications started adding up.
A few of his first titles and certifications include Upholstery
Cleaning Technician, Drapery Cleaning Technician, Stone and
Tile Certification, and Pet Odor Removal Certification. “By 1999, I was
certified to do crime scene clean up, flood damages, and so much more.”
In 2000, Blue started moving away from carpet, upholstery
and drapery cleaning and soon began air duct and dryer vents cleaning jobs.
Blue received a certification from Air-Care of Nevada as an Air System Handler
Cleaning Technician. This allowed
him to be certified to clean HVAC Systems using the Negative Air Flow Process
and Air Duct Decontamination. In 2002, he went to Dallas Fort Worth to be
certified by Roto-Brush International for the Roto Brush Process
and the Contact Agitation. In addition, Blue also said they received
a few national certifications for Commercial and Residential Air Duct Cleaning
and Decontamination.
“In 2015, I joined the NCSGA National Chimney Sweep
Guild of America, and CSIA Chimney Sweep Institute of America,” said Blue. This
is where he received another National Certification called a C-DET Certified Dry
Exhaust Technician.
Blue and his company are more than qualified to clean your
dryer vents and HVAC ducting. However, what makes them a quality company is
that they love to get up in the morning and do their job. “I do what I do because I love
the challenge of waking up every-morning traveling to the South Bay, I.E.,
South and North Orange County, or wherever the job leads me to perform
quality work,” said Blue.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Company has three offices located in Corona,
Huntington Beach and Hawthorne. Call 562-441-4111 to schedule an appointment
today or visit their website at hbairduct.com. They also offer discounts to Military
(past and present), Educators, First Responders (Firefighters, Police Officers,
EMT), and seniors.
Package thieves are hard
at work during the holiday season. The pickings are ripe when you can drive
through a neighborhood, see packages sitting on front porches that won’t be
touched for hours. With online shopping being so prevalent, those packages will
contain some valuable commodities for them to be enticed by.
Here are some safety
tips for package delivery for the upcoming holiday season:
10 Holiday Package Delivery Safety
Tips
1.
DELIVER TO YOUR OFFICE
If your place of work
allows it, have your packages delivered right to your office. You may not be
able to get weekend delivery if you’re not there, but it would be a convenient,
safe way to handle package delivery when you can’t be home to wait.
2.
USE PICK UP POINTS
Different than a P.O.
Box, delivery services are setting up temporary delivery points for you to have
your packages delivered to. You can then pick up your packages on your way home
from work. Amazon
Locker and UPS’
Access Point Network provide
those areas in local grocery stores, convenience stores, storefronts and more.
3.
USE A TEMPORARY PO BOX
Many delivery services
such as UPS or FedEx will not deliver to a traditional P.O. Box address, but
will deliver to a street address that just happens to be in a Postal Delivery
Service Office. Many of those offices will even call you when you have a
package arrives, and take a photo of it for you to see ahead of time. The UPS
Store has this service, as well as many privately owned companies. Check your
local listings to find one a location near you, then rent the P. O. Box through
the season. Be mindful of contract times and fees.
4.
REQUEST A RE-ROUTE OR RE-DELIVERY
You can request that a
package be held at the delivery facility of your deliverer, rerouted to another
location, or delivered on another day.
Call
UPS or FedEx once you have a tracking number from the company you’ve purchased
from, and have UPS or FedEx hold the package at their facility for pickup
later.
Use
FedEx’s Delivery Manager, and UPS My Choice, premium
memberships, which allows you more choices in re-delivery.
5.
USE A NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE
Keeping your packages
safe during the day is hard if you’re working all the time, but you can find a
neighbor who may be willing to accept deliveries for you. Or, if you’re the
entrepreneurial type, start a service for a small fee for friends and family.
You can become your own Amazon Locker!
6.
USE A WIRELESS HOME MONITORING SYSTEM
Use a wireless door
monitor, such as
Ring,
that allows you to see your porch. You’ll know when packages are delivered, and
will be able to see visitors, even when not at home. It works through a
wi-fi-enabled camera at your door and an app on your phone. You can set off
alarms for snoopers, as well as ask questions to those approaching.
7.
REQUEST A SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION
Requesting a signature
delivery is a little harder in this day of order and drop, but you may be able
to call the delivery service to request a required signature for a package
using the tracking number. This insures that the package isn’t just dumped.
Packages sent through USPS have the option for a small fee.
8.
REQUEST A KNOCK
Our UPS delivery folks
are hit and miss with this quick convenience. It is helpful to hear that a
package has been delivered, even when you’re home, so that you can pick it up,
instead of it sitting outside. So request it in the notes on your order form,
call your delivery service with tracking number and put that request in, etc.
You are not going to be guaranteed a knock, but it is a note that will be on
the delivery for the carrier.
9.
CREATE A DELIVERY CORNER
You may be able to hide
smaller package deliveries behind planters or decorations on your porch. This
is not a guarantee that a delivery person will actually put a package there,
but many try to make sure that packages are put in places that don’t draw
attention. There is also the
Package Guard, a
Wi-Fi-enabled device that alerts you, through an app, when a package has been
delivered to your house, and sets off a loud alarm if anyone unauthorized tries
to steal the package. You can program it, to allow a neighbor to pick it
up for you, but unauthorized ‘pick ups’ will be alarmed.
10.
GIVE THEM A VIRTUAL KEY
Amazon
Key is
a new program that puts a keypad lock on your door that is accessible to anyone
you give the code to. You get notifications on your phone app that a service
has used the lock. Amazon deliverers place your package just inside the door,
are recorded on video, and you receive notification. You can also use the
service to allow cleaners, dog walkers, etc., into your home with the same
service. It’s $250 to begin the service, Amazon installs for you, and it gives
you an option for safe package delivery if you have concerns about your
package, your neighborhood, and all other options have been exhausted.
I’ll be honest, this
last program is one that we wouldn’t use for our home, but I understand the
convenience factor for so many. It isn’t any different than having a cleaner or
dog walker coming to your home to provide service when you aren’t there, but at
least those folks have been vetted personally. I’m sure the service is bonded,
and regulations are in place that the deliverer cannot be in the home longer
than thirty seconds, it’s just not something I’d be comfortable with. I’d love
to hear your experience if you have used it, though.
Holiday Package Delivery
Safety Tips — keep those gifts from the heart safe from thieves during the
holiday season and anytime during the year! Don’t let Christmas holidays be
ruined by thieves, protect your deliveries!
Other
alternatives for package delivery safety
Purchase
a lock box for your front porch
Purchase
a mailbox with secured access
Place
a hold on mail and pick up at post office
Insure
your packages – it may not stop a thief, but it may get you your money back or
items replaced at no cost to you!

information, the assault appeared to have occurred within the city limits of
Eastvale. Deputies assigned to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department
responded to the high school and contacted the victim. Due to the nature of
this incident, investigators from the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station assumed
the investigation.
Jay Myungbae Kim Courtesy: Riverside County Sheriff’s Dept
The investigation revealed on September 18, Jay

Eastvale/Norco – The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department conducted two
DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints recently, one in Eastvale and one in Norco.
The Eastvale checkpoint
started on Friday, August 30 at 7 p.m. and ended on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 3
a.m. The checkpoint took place at
Schleisman Road and Archibald Avenue.
There were a total of 2,500 vehicles screened. The results included one
DUI arrest, 25 Field Sobriety tests conducted, and 18 drivers cited/arrested
for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked.
The Norco checkpoint
started on Friday, August 16 at 8 p.m. and ended on Saturday, August 17 at 3
a.m. The checkpoint took place at Hamner
Avenue and Alhambra Street. There were a
total of 961 vehicles screened. The results included one DUI arrest, 10 Field
Sobriety tests conducted, and 8 drivers cited/arrested for operating a vehicle
unlicensed or while suspended/revoked.
DUI Checkpoints are
usually placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI
arrests. Funding for DUI enforcement is provided by a grant from the California
Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
The Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department reminds drivers to avoid getting behind the wheel after
drinking or using drugs that affect your ability to drive safely. Driving while
impaired is illegal, whether it is alcohol, prescription drugs, over-the-counter
medications or marijuana.
In 2017, 1,120 people
were killed in alcohol-involved crashes on California roads, according to the Riverside
County Sheriff’s Department. The Norco Sheriff’s Station reminds drivers that
“DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs,
particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label,
you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing,
especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI.
Drivers caught driving
impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be
upwards of $13,500, according to the Sheriff’s Department. This includes fines,
fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention
possible jail time.
“There are so many ways to get home safely
without driving,” said Jurupa Valley Station’s Eastvale Traffic, Sergeant
Gutierrez. “Driving while drunk or high is dangerous, irresponsible and causes
too many senseless tragedies. We hope that drivers get the message that driving
impaired will never be tolerated.”
The Norco Sheriff’s
Station issued a statement with these tips to ensure you have a safe night of
fun that doesn’t involve a DUI
Always use a designated sober
driver – a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab or public
transportation – to get home.
See someone who is clearly
impaired try and drive? Take the keys and help them make other
arrangements to find a sober way home.
Report drunk drivers – Call 911.
Hosting a party? Offer
nonalcoholic drinks. Monitor who is drinking and how they are getting
home.

in the month of July.
INCIDENT: Fatal Traffic
collision
WHEN: July 4, 2019
WHERE: Sixth Street cross of Temescal Avenue, Norco
On July 4, at about 9:16 p.m., deputies responded to a
two-vehicle traffic collision off Sixth Street cross of Temescal Avenue in the
city of Norco.
An investigation revealed a “Chevrolet El Camino was
traveling southbound on Temescal Avenue at a high rate of speed,” according to
the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. “The vehicle struck a Toyota Tundra
in the intersection, which was traveling westbound on Sixth Street. The force
of impact caused the Toyota Tundra to flip onto its roof and slide across the
intersection. Both vehicles came to rest on the southwest portion of the
intersection into the oncoming lanes of traffic.”
The driver of the vehicle, a
44-year-old male from Norco, was found trapped and unresponsive on scene. When
Cal Fire and American Medical Response arrived to the scene, they pronounced
the driver deceased at the scene. The
sole occupant of the Toyota Tundra was transported to a local hospital with
minor injuries.

INCIDENT: Fourth of July 2019
Fireworks Enforcement Operation
WHEN: July 4, 2019
WHERE: City of Eastvale
The Eastvale Police Department, in
conjunction with City of Eastvale Code Enforcement, Riverside County Fire, and
Riverside County Animal Control, developed response plans to educate the public
and to enforce all laws related to the illegal use and possession of fireworks
within the city limits.
On
July 4, 2019, a proactive operation was conducted on 4th of July at 5 PM and
ended on July 5, 2019, at 2:00 AM to combat the illegal use of fireworks in the
City of Eastvale. The following information was reported:
Deputies
responded to 31 calls for service related to fireworks that were received
through the Sheriff’s Department Dispatch Center and the Riverside
Sheriff’s Department’s on-line reporting site.
A
total of 14 citations were given to subjects in violation of the Eastvale
Municipal Code which prohibits the possession and discharging of fireworks
within the city limits.
Approximately
100 pounds of unused fireworks were confiscated and collected by the
Sheriff’s Hazardous Device Team for destruction.
The Eastvale
Police Department would like to remind everyone that fireworks are illegal in
Riverside County and the City of Eastvale. They also would like to
encourage the reporting of the illegal use and possession of fireworks by
calling the Sheriff’s Dispatch Center at 951-800-950-2444 or through the online
reporting on the Sheriff’s Department webpage.
INCIDENT: Telephone Scam
WHERE: Throughout Riverside County
The Riverside County Sheriff’s
Department issued a statement regarding an increase in reports of a specific
telephone “scam.” The “scam” is described below:
Victims are being called by
persons identifying themselves as “agents” of the Social Security
Administration. These fictitious “agents” then advise the victim of felonious activity
associated with their social security number. The victim is then directed to
post a monetary “bond” to prevent an arrest warrant from being issued.
Frequently, victims report that
significant lengths are gone through to “establish” the caller’s credibility.
In several cases the caller requested a contact number for the local law
enforcement agency where the victim lives. The agent directs the victim to wait
for a call from the local law enforcement agency. The victim receives a call
from a Caller IDidentified
number naming the local law enforcement agency. The person on the phone
identifies themselves as an officer with the local agency, who then directs the
victim to comply with the “agent” when called again. The fictitious agent
calls back then threatens the victim with a felony arrest warrant unless a
‘bond” is posted.
The fictitious “agent” advises
the bond can be most conveniently taken care of with a Google Play, Apple Pay, Target Gift,
Walmart gift, or other commercial gift/payment card.
Once purchased, the victim is directed to read off the coded numbers on
the back of the cards to the agent, completing payment of the “bond.” The public should be aware that no
police or government agency will ask for or accept a store gift card for
payment of a lawful, legitimate fine or fee.
This type of scam has several
variations. In addition to callers claiming to represent the Social Security
Administration, the IRS, out-of-state police agencies, and other government
agencies have also been falsely represented. The consistent theme is the victim
is directed to submit the “gift card bond.” The victim is told the “bond” will
be refunded when the criminal issue is resolved. Since the cards are purchased
then provided to the fictitious agents, there is no mechanism for reimbursing
the victim. Similar scams have the victim going directly to the bank for
withdrawals.
Anyone wishing to report this
type of crime is encouraged to contact Riverside County Sheriff’s Department
Telephone Reporting Unit by calling (951) 776-1099.
Jurupa Valley – On August 8, the City of Jurupa Valley announced that
Downey Park and all access to the Santa Ana River were closed under the
direction of the County Environmental Health and Disease Control Department.
The closure took place due to a possible outbreak of the Shigella Bacteria in
the riverbed.
“This bacteria has caused an estimated 600,000 deaths
worldwide annually,” according to the City of Jurupa Valley. “This disease is
more common in young children and complications from Shigella could include
blood poisoning infections in the human body.” As of August 8, six patients in
Riverside County tested positive for this bacteria.
The County staff conducted testing of the Santa Ana River in
order to confirm if there was an existence of this bacteria.
After consulting with the Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the Public Health Department, the Department of Environmental Health
recommended that to the City of Jurupa Valley lift the temporary closure of
access to the Santa Ana River, effective Thursday, August 15.
However, the Riverside County Department of Environmental
Health issued the following statement:
“The public should be wary that natural waterways do not
have the same level of cleanliness as a public swimming pool which has
filtration and disinfection safeguards.
Rivers are not regularly tested for the presence of bacteria, as they
are naturally flowing bodies of water and testing only provides a snapshot in
time. The public should be careful not to ingest the water, thoroughly wash
hands after contact, and not leave behind trash or use the river area as a
restroom.”
For more information, contact the City of Jurupa Valley Code
Enforcement Department at (951) 332‐6464 or email: isalas@jurupavalley.org (Irwin Salas, Senior Code Enforcement Officer)

Reports
Eastvale – Many
attended the 8th Annual State of the City hosted by the Eastvale Chamber of
Commerce. The theme of this year’s State of the City was Thriving Together.
“There is a saying that you can go faster by
yourself, but you can go further together,” stated a City post. “That’s really
where thriving together comes into place. Your voice matters and you’re
essential to ensuring that Eastvale continues thriving together for generations
to come!”
The two-day celebration began on July 17 with a
Business Luncheon held at 11:30 a.m. at the Eastvale Community Center. On Thursday, July 18, residents gathered at 6

watch Eastvale continue to progress and thrive throughout this year
and the exciting part is, this is just the beginning and we’re just getting

Program covers every area in the City; we are one of the first cities in the
country that has accomplished this.
However, the City is still looking into how to
enhance the City’s safety through collaborative endeavors and advanced
technology. Here is what is expected
to be added to increase community safety in the next year:
A medic squad, which
is a smaller truck that can help respond to critical incidents
10 patrol hours were
approved to be added, which equates to two more deputies to be on patrol
Other items
that are expected to be launched or
pursued in the future are:
Business Registration process
will be made available online within the next year
A local library will
be pursued
Additional
entertainment options will be pursued
In addition, over the next year, the City will launch the Eastvale 2040 plan to help identify where the City should be in 30 years, how to get there, and what the City needs to put in place today so that the city can truly thrive. This plan will involve a lot of community engagement. “We look forward to your feedback, ideas, and vision as we identify what this plan will foster for years to come!”
Mayor Rigby added a final note about how important
the community’s feedback is. “No matter
how young or hold old you are, we believe you have a voice in our community and
we want to make sure our community knows that you have a voice,” said
Rigby.

Staff Reports
Eastvale – Eastvale is continuing to grow with new stores opening
and projects starting.
DICK’s Sporting Goods held its Ribbon Cutting on July 8 and
its Grand Opening event from July 12 to 14.
The new Eastvale Gateway store is located at 12399 Limonite Avenue. The Grand Opening included great prizes, fun
activities, and a chance to meet professional baseball player Zack Cozart!
DICK’S Sporting Goods, is the largest
U.S.-based, full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer. The new DICK’S location in Eastvale opened up
approximately 75 jobs to the community.
Another exciting announcement is that the Eastvale L.E.D.
Retrofitting Project is now in process. In
March 2019, the City of Eastvale purchased 4,100 streetlights from Southern
California Edison (SCE) to place within the city limits. “We have now began the
process of upgrading to new retrofitted LED lights, making the city streets
much brighter at night,” according to City officials.
These new LED streetlight fixtures have been
placed strategically in a distribution pattern that will not cast light backwards
onto residents’ yards. They only cast
light out far enough to cover the road surface and they will use 75% less
energy than traditional streetlights. In
addition, the lights “align with the City’s strategic goal to enhance public
safety by creating more visibility,” according to the City.
A total of 1,118 lights have been converted
citywide, which completes all the main streets (arterials). The entire project is expected to be
completed by December 2019.
In addition, Eastvale’s newest Shop-Dine-Stay
destination, Hamner Place, broke ground on July 12. Hamner Place will be located off Hamner
Avenue and Schleisman Road. See the
Hamner Place article for more information.
