There is an old adage about the instinct to fight or flight. It suggests that when something challenging comes into our life we will react in one of two predetermined ways. I believe that you are not necessarily a runner or a fighter, but different stimulus will create a different response. Maybe your child is being bullied or not given a fair shake at school. Would your blood boil? Maybe you feel someone is trying to cheat you on a home or car repair. Will the angry lion come out?
But how does Mr. Powerful Lion respond to things that
overwhelm him? Perhaps you have some
debts that are looming over you. Or is
there a hard conversation you need to have with someone you care about? What does running look like for you? Is it retail therapy? Long hours working on
anything but the elephant in front of you?
Proverbs 28:1 instructs us: “The wicked flee when no one
pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
So, we don’t want to run from challenges. But roaring like a child’s tantrum isn’t much
better. What option is left? The bold, young David said this: “The Lord
who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me
from the hand of this Philistine,” (1 Samuel 17:37), With trust in Jesus, we
can grow in the face of challenges and rise to meet them.
This summer, help your kids grow to meet the challenges of life. Edgewater’s “ROAR” Vacation Bible School is a great place to start! With free dinner every night, it might be a week without roaring or running for you! It all happens June 10 – 14 from 5 – 7:30 p.m. at Harada Elementary School.

8-year old Noah McIntosh of Corona has been missing since early March. Authorities believe Noah is the victim of homicide and torture at the hands of his father, Bryce McIntosh, also of Corona. McIntosh has been charged with 1st degree murder with special circumstances which makes him eligible for the death penalty.
Staff
Reports
Corona- During a hearing on May 1, a
Superior Court Judge made a statement that the Riverside County Department of
Public Social Services (DPSS) failed to protect missing 8-year-old Noah
McIntosh from further harm, even though reports indicate that they knew he was
being abused in his Corona home.
The hearing was called after Noah and his
sister’s attorney, Patricia Nance, objected to the public release of Noah’s
case file from Child Protective Services.
Several media outlets have requested the file be released under the
California state law that requires public disclosure of social services records
of children who are believed to be deceased as a result of abuse or neglect.
However, Nance opposed the release of the
records stating that Noah’s body hasn’t been found, and argued that state law
requires the documents only be released if the juvenile is dead. Nance continued stating that if Noah’s body
is not found, proof should come from a criminal conviction or coroner’s report.
Nevertheless, releasing the case file would
provide additional details to the public such as observations by the
caseworker, statements from Noah and his family, and the caseworker’s
recommendations. For example, it may
include the CPS report that Noah’s grandfather, Doug Godfrey, said he made a
year before Noah disappeared. Doug
Godfrey told a local newsgroup that he made the report because he feared Noah
was being abused. However, the boy
remained in the home with Bryce after the investigation.
During the hearing, Perantoni stated, “It
appears to the Court that there is a significant public interest in the
information in the DPSS file relating to whether Riverside Department of Public
Social Services acted to protect Noah from abuse,” according to a hearing
transcript.
“There is significant information in the
file indicating that Riverside County DPSS knew that this child was being
abused in the home and took no action to protect the child, and that is clear
from the Court’s review of the file,” Perantoni also stated.
Judge Perantoni overruled Nance’s objection
and ordered the release of the records, with certain information redacted
(names, addresses, phones numbers).
However, Perantoni granted Nance’s request to postpone the release of
the records until May 11. Then on May 9,
Associate Justice Carol D. Codrington of the state Court of Appeal, Fourth
District, granted Nance’s second request of postponement, indicating the
records be released by May 20.
In addition, the Department of Social
Services stated that they are currently conducting an extensive review of the
child and adult protective services divisions.
Noah McIntosh was reported missing on March
12 by Noah’s mother, Jillian Godfrey, 36.
However, an investigation discovered that Noah has actually been missing
since March 3. Godfrey told
investigators that she last saw Noah on March 2 at his father’s home in the
4600 block of Temescal Valley Rd.
Riverside County Court reports state that Noah’s father, Bryce McIntosh,
took Noah into the bathroom, and Godfrey heard Noah ask his father “why he was
hurting him.” On March 3, she left the
residence but did not see Noah because he was still in the bathroom.
During a forensic interview, Noah’s sister,
11, described physical abuse to Noah by Bryce McIntosh. The abuse involved Noah being handcuffed in
the bathtub in cold water, while his sister helped hold Noah’s legs down at
times, according to Riverside County Superior Court records. His sister said she wasn’t home when Noah
went missing, but she knew he was missing because “her Daddy told her,”
according to the records. In addition,
several pieces of evidence were found in the Corona home such as handcuffs, zip
ties, yellow towels with stains, and a laptop with relevant web searches, to
name only a few. Authorities also extracted data from Godfrey’s phone, which
included notes that she took that documented Bryce’s abuse towards Noah.
Bryce McIntosh, 32, was charged with first-degree
murder of his son, with the special circumstance of torture that makes him
potentially eligible for the death penalty.
McIntosh plead not guilty on April 3 and is expected to return to court
on June 17. Godfrey was charged with
willful child cruelty, but also plead not guilty. Her hearing is scheduled for May 17. Both are being held without bail.

Staff Reports
Chino – Firefighters from the Chino Valley Fire District (CVFD)
responded to a second-alarm hay fire on Tuesday, May 7 at around 8:04 p.m. The fire was located in the 8300 block of
Pine Ave at a Chino dairy farm.
“Firefighters kept the fire from reaching several heads of cattle and nearby residential structures, at times battling three-story high flame lengths,” according to CVFD. Firefighters contained the fire to bales of hay and a nearby barn structure. No injuries were reported as of yet.
CVFD announced that they expected the fire to burn for three
to five days because of the fuel arrangement that makes it difficult to put out
compact hay bales fires. “These fires
are deep seated into the material and make it difficult to access and extinguish,”
said CVFD.

Firefighters worked hard to contain the fire and their
priority was to protect the perimeter exposures. CVFD issued a statement on Tuesday evening
stating they were trying to allow the fuel to burn off until they can get heavy
equipment to move in and break the bails apart.
“Once the bails are spread out, we can put water over them and
extinguish the fire,” CVFD added.
On Tuesday evening, Pine Avenue was closed between West
Preserve Loop and East Preserve Loop, according to the Chino Police
Department. CVFD also sent out
advisories for local residents to avoid the smoke by staying indoors, closing
all doors and windows, and avoid vigorous outdoor and indoor activity. They also recommended that residents run
their air conditioner, keep the fresh air intake closed, and clean the filter
to prevent smoke from coming inside.

Staff Reports
Norco – On April 22, a small plane crashed into a Norco prison,
killing the plane’s pilot. The pilot was
identified as Dave Vopat, 51, of Chino.
Vopat was flying a rare and historic Northrop N-9M Flying
Wing that was registered to the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino. The plane was built by Northrop in 1944. Local reports state that the pilot was flying
the plane to prepare for an upcoming air show at the museum.
On that Monday afternoon, multiple witnesses reported
observing the airplane “flying on a northeastern heading at a low altitude,”
according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The plane then performed a “barrel roll” and
“wobbled [from] side to side,” before the airplane’s canopy separated. At around 12:10 p.m., the airplane entered a
steep right turn, and crashed into the outpatient-housing yard of the California
Rehabilitation Center, which is located in the 1900 block of 4th
street.
The debris spread over 474 ft. in length and 200 ft.
wide. There were no reports of
structural damage; sheriff officials stated that the area of the crash was
currently under construction. A report
indicated that one inmate suffered from scratches, but there were no additional
reports of serious injuries to the prison’s inmates or staff.
NTSB also reported that the flight originated from Chino
Airport, at around 12:02 p.m. In
addition, “visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was
filed for the personal flight,” stated NTSB.
The remaining parts of the airplane were recovered to another location
for further examination and this incident is still under investigation.
“But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.…”
Luke 24:2
A man and his five-year old son were driving past a cemetery and noticed a large pile of dirt next to a freshly dug grave when the little boy said, “Look, Dad, one got out!” Every Easter, we come to celebrate the central aspect of Christianity. The foundation of the Christians faith is the empty tomb. The truth is that the grave could not hold Him. The stone was rolled away not to let Jesus out, but to let all those in the garden tomb in to be witness that Jesus had risen. In 1901 Abraham Lincoln’s casket was opened because it was feared that his body was not there. Christ’s tomb was opened to prove He is not there. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die (physically), he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11) Because Christ died and rose, we can have the hope of heaven. Our bodies will cease to function one day, but there is life beyond the grave (1 Corinthians 15:54–55). Christ’s resurrection guarantees that all of His followers will be resurrected as well. Because Jesus rose, we too will rise. He promised, “Because I live, you also will live” (John 14:19). If you have put your faith in the risen Lord, then you will live again. You no longer need to fear death. Because He came back in a resurrected body, He has given us the assurance that God will give each of us a glorified body one day. Next time you drive past a cemetery, think of the One Whom the grave could not hold.

Veteran Raising Awareness about Unexpected Parkinson’s Symptoms
Photo Courtesy: Statepoint Dan McFarland is raising awareness about Parkinson’s non-movement symptoms.
By StatePoint
Dan McFarland’s family was concerned when he started taking pictures of clouds and posting them on social media with urgent messages about how they were symbols about the need to repent and get ready for the end of the world. His frequent bouts of paranoia and experience with surprising visions seemed out of character, especially since McFarland was a successful businessman, running one of the largest retirement communities in Oregon, and a retired U.S. Air Force senior master sergeant.
It turned out that these delusions and hallucinations were non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which McFarland had been diagnosed with years before. For McFarland, these symptoms were harder to manage than the motor symptoms typically associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as tremors, rigidity or slowness of movement.
“My neurologist was able to recognize my non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s. Some of my hallucinations and delusions were frightening to me and upsetting to my loved ones, and adjusting my treatment helped lessen this burden,” he says. “To help others recognize these symptoms, I’ve gotten involved in my local Parkinson’s support group, and am sharing my story during April, which is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month.”
Although there is no clear understanding of the exact cause of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s, around half of all people with Parkinson’s may experience these symptoms over the course of their disease.
For McFarland, when he first began to experience hallucinations and delusions, he recognized that what he was seeing and believing wasn’t quite real. But it was confusing to him and as his condition progressed, he began to lose insight. For example, his belief that the end of the world was coming was triggered by a brief news story about a sink hole in South America. He also began to distrust family and friends. After his wife left a camping trip early, he became suspicious that she might be trying to connect with an old boyfriend. In reality, she had simply needed a much-deserved break from work and caregiving responsibilities.
Left unaddressed, these non-movement symptoms can impact people with Parkinson’s and their care partners’ ability to make plans with family and friends and even sleep, according to a recent survey conducted by the Parkinson’s Movement Disorder Alliance. Experts say that if you believe you or a loved one is experiencing hallucinations or delusions as a result of Parkinson’s disease, the first step is talking to a movement disorder specialist. You can also go to MoretoParkinsons.com to learn more about what to expect and how to start the conversation with a physician.
While doctors may be able to address non-motor symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, it’s important to keep in mind that everyone is different and for some, other non-motor symptoms may still persist. McFarland continues to struggle with depression and anxiety, which are other common non-movement symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. McFarland sees a therapist to help manage those symptoms. Having a greater understanding of the disease and its possible symptoms has helped the McFarlands deal with them as they arise.
“Opening up about my fears and beliefs led to an improvement in my treatment plan and I’m experiencing fewer non-movement symptoms,” says McFarland. “I hope that my story will encourage others to recognize these symptoms in themselves and others, because there are options to help.”
RMS Titanic departing Southampton on April 10, 1912. The “unsinkable” ship hit an iceberg and sank 5 days later.
By History.com
At 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the British ocean liner Titanic
sinks into the North Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles south of Newfoundland,
Canada. The massive ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck
an iceberg two and half hours before.
On April 10, the RMS Titanic, one of the largest and most
luxurious ocean liners ever built, departed Southampton, England, on its maiden
voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The Titanic was designed by the Irish
shipbuilder William Pirrie and built in Belfast, and was thought to be the
world’s fastest ship. It spanned 883 feet from stern to bow, and its hull was
divided into 16 compartments that were presumed to be watertight. Because four
of these compartments could be flooded without causing a critical loss of
buoyancy, the Titanic was considered unsinkable. While leaving port, the ship
came within a couple of feet of the steamer New York but passed safely by,
causing a general sigh of relief from the passengers massed on the Titanic‘s
decks. On its first journey across the highly competitive Atlantic ferry route,
the ship carried some 2,200 passengers and crew.
After stopping at Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown,
Ireland, to pick up some final passengers, the massive vessel set out at full
speed for New York City. However, just before midnight on April 14, the RMS
Titanic failed to divert its course from an iceberg and ruptured at least five
of its hull compartments. These compartments filled with water and pulled down
the bow of the ship. Because the Titanic‘s compartments were not capped at the
top, water from the ruptured compartments filled each succeeding compartment,
causing the bow to sink and the stern to be raised up to an almost vertical
position above the water. Then the Titanic broke in half, and, at about 2:20
a.m. on April 15, stern and bow sank to the ocean floor.

Last lifeboat arrived, filled with Titanic survivors. This photograph was taken by a passenger of the Carpathia, the ship that received the Titanic’s distress signal and came to rescue the survivors. It shows the last lifeboat successfully launched from the Titanic.
Because of a shortage of lifeboats and the lack of
satisfactory emergency procedures, more than 1,500 people went down in the
sinking ship or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic waters. Most of the
700 or so survivors were women and children. A number of notable American and
British citizens died in the tragedy, including the noted British journalist
William Thomas Stead and heirs to the Straus, Astor, and Guggenheim fortunes.
One hour and 20 minutes after Titanic went down, the Cunard
liner Carpathia arrived. The survivors in the lifeboats were brought aboard,
and a handful of others were pulled out of the water. It was later discovered
that the Leyland liner Californian had been less than 20 miles away at the time
of the accident but had failed to hear the Titanic‘s distress signals because
its radio operator was off duty.
Announcement of details of the tragedy led to outrage on
both sides of the Atlantic. In the disaster’s aftermath, the first International
Convention for Safety of Life at Sea was held in 1913. Rules were adopted
requiring that every ship have lifeboat space for each person on board, and
that lifeboat drills be held. An International Ice Patrol was established to
monitor icebergs in the North Atlantic shipping lanes. It was also required
that ships maintain a 24-hour radio watch.
On September 1, 1985, a joint U.S.-French expedition located
the wreck of the Titanic lying on the ocean floor at a depth of about 13,000
feet. The ship was explored by manned and unmanned submersibles, which shed new
light on the details of its sinking.
DETAILS: On Sunday, March 10, 2019, about 7:39 AM, officers from the
Jurupa Valley Police Department responded to Limonite Avenue cross of Archer
Street, in the city of Jurupa Valley, regarding a report of a two- vehicle
traffic collision. The preliminary investigation revealed one of the vehicles
involved, a white 2013 Toyota Camry, was traveling northbound on Archer Street,
stopped at the stop sign and proceeded onto Limonite Avenue directly in front
of a red 2014 Ford F150 traveling eastbound Limonite Avenue. The vehicles
collided in the intersection. The driver of the Toyota Camry sustained major
injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for emergency medical
treatment. The driver of the Ford F150 sustained only minor injuries and
remained on scene after the collision to provide information to assist with the
investigation. The Jurupa Valley Station’s Traffic Reconstruction Team
responded and assumed the investigation. This investigation is ongoing;
however, it does not appear alcohol or drugs are a factor in this collision.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call Deputy Ditfurth at the
Jurupa Valley Station, 951-955-2600. Persons who wish to report criminal
activity and wish to remain anonymous can call crime stoppers at 800-78-CRIME

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.
In 2017, 1,120 people were killed in alcohol-involved crashes on California
roads. Last year Eastvale Police Department investigated 14 DUI collisions
which have claimed 1 life and resulted in another 11 injuries.
Eastvale Police Department offers these
reminders 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 are drinking and how they
are getting home.
Getting home safely is cheap, but getting a
DUI is not! Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the
impact of a DUI arrest to be upwards of $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI
classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention possible jail
time. Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Eastvale Police Department by
a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Eastvale – On March 25, the Eastvale community came together to search for a missing boy. When 12-year-old Javier was reported missing by his family, the Eastvale Police Department and the City of Eastvale asked the community for help in locating Javier. The City of Eastvale posted the missing child’s picture on their Facebook page and indicated that the boy was last seen at 2:23 p.m. at Augustine Ramirez Intermediate School. Friends of the family said that Javier didn’t show up to his usual pick-up spot in front of the school. Comments on the Facebook post indicated that the boy had special needs as well.
Friends of the family were searching the area for the boy
and an Eastvale Police helicopter announced his description from above. However, several community members felt they
couldn’t sit back and wait; they wanted to join in on the search. Strangers from all over the city got in their
cars with their families and searched the neighborhoods for the boy. It was amazing to see how many community
members came together to look for a child they didn’t even know.
By 7:40 p.m., it was confirmed that the boy was found unharmed
in the city of Chino and was safely returned to his family. It was not reported how the boy ended up in
Chino or why he left the school. However,
the family and the community were just thankful he was home safe.
The City of Eastvale posted an update to their Facebook page
and thanked everyone who spread the word. “The Eastvale Police Department would
like to thank the community for their assistance in helping locate Javier,”
said the post.
Hopeless. What does
that mean to you? Does it resonate with
you? Is it where you are at? Hopeless
means that we believe we are at the end of the road. It means we believe that there is no more opportunity
for positive change. We are expecting
things to get worse. It’s a feeling that
comes when we can’t see a way out or a way up.
It’s a feeling that comes with dire consequences. When we are hopeless, we often become
action-less as well. Or worse, we act
foolishly and make our situation worse!
But what if we believe the things we keep telling ourselves are
wrong? What if there was hope? What if
there was no such thing as a hopeless situation? Did you know that the joy and the events of
Easter come at a seemingly hopeless time?
Jesus, the promised Savior, had died on a cross. His story seemed over – hopeless. But three days later, He was alive again! By
overcoming death, he pronounced every situation HOPE-FILLED!
When you feel hopeless, remember this promise from Isaiah
40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
not be faint.”
You just never know what God is going to do in your story. Find hope for your story, this Easter at Edgewater. Join us for Easter Sunday services
at 6:30 and 10:00 a.m.; as well as a special Good Friday service on April 19 at
7 p.m., and our Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 20 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. – all
at Harada Elementary.
