In The Spirit

Pastor Jeremy Mercer

To say I grew up in a Christian home is an understatement. My parents are devout God-fearing people. That is anything but a negative statement. On the contrary, they are respected and loved by everybody and with good reason. My parents are wonderful and absolutely the “real deal.” They’re not perfect, but they genuinely strive to live as the Word of God instructs.

One of the phrases I heard most growing up was “be in the Spirit.” You have to be “in the Spirit,” “walk by the Spirit,” and “live by the Spirit.” “The Spirit” is the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. Now I know many people have differing views on how the Holy Spirit operates in the modern world and in the daily life of a Christian. Whatever those views are, growing up, I knew being “in the Spirit” was very important.

Revelation 1:10 tells us that the Apostle John was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day.” The Lord’s Day, being Sunday, the day Christ rose from the dead. It also gives us the important fact that John was “in the Spirit.” John was conscious of being surrounded by the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit! Wow! What a way to live!

We can live that same way every day; if we choose the continual awareness and pursuit of God. Christians often times make life-altering choices by our natural human understanding and thinking, not cognizant of the Holy’s Spirit’s presence and help. I’m ALL for using the brain that God gave us to think, reason, plan, and strategize as best we can. However, often times that isn’t enough. I am thankful that God gave us the Helper…His Holy Spirit. I want to live every day “in the Spirit” like the Apostle John did.

In 2018, not just on “The Lord’s Day” but every day, let’s be “in the Spirit.” Let’s worship God, pray, and listen to the Word “in the Spirit!” Let’s be conscious and receiving of the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit! We will begin to see things differently in our lives. Obstacles will become opportunities. Problems will lead to promotion. Pain will turn to peace. We’ll encounter God and be forever changed, empowered and filled with joy! Let’s be intentional about living every day, starting today, “in the Spirit!”

Marijuana Legal, DUI NOT

Staff Reports

On January 1, 2018 Marijuana became legal in the state of California. Driving under the influence will be revamped and revised for years to come. If you just think back about how many times it was revised and revamped for alcohol over the years you can imagine how many times the DUI laws will be revisited and revised for Marijuana. Up until now you didn’t get a DUI or even a ticket unless you physically had some in your possession. Marijuana can stay in your system for up to 30 days so they didn’t really have a reliable test to determine if you were high at the time. Well as they say, “be careful what you wish for” because you can bet your last dollar they will be figuring that out now, and again later, and again, and again and so on.  Below is some information provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office that is the beginning of the saga that is coming to a vehicle near you.

In recent years, California has seen a disturbing increase in drug-impaired driving crashes.  Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all 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.

Studies of California drivers have shown that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.

Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or “DDVIP,” free mobile app for Android or iPhone.  The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and restaurants that feature free incentives for the designated sober driver, from free non-alcoholic drinks to free appetizers and more.  The feature-packed app even has social media tie-ins and even a tab for the non-DD to call Uber, Lyft or Curb.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting other DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint and DUI Saturation Patrol in the future in our ongoing commitment to lowering deaths and injuries upon our streets and highways.

The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to ‘Report Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1’.

AS A DRIVER, PLAN AHEAD WITH THESE TIPS:

Arrange rides home for your friends, family, co-workers and yourself before the drinking begins

Identify and provide free non-alcoholic drinks or other promotional items to the Designated Driver

Party hosts and servers must limit drinks to your guests or patrons. Don’t serve more than one or two over several hours.

Cut back on the amount of drinks you plan to bring to the party – and provide plenty of food.

 

Eastvale Area Crime Recap Dec 2017

INCIDENT: HUMAN TRAFFICKING OF A MINOR- MULTIPLE SUSPECTS ARRESTED

WHEN: 12/5/2017

WHERE: 10700 block of Magnolia Ave., Riverside

On Tuesday, December 5, 2017, members of the Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force (RCAHT), received information from the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force as to the potential whereabouts of a missing female juvenile. The child was identified as a 15-year-old runaway from the Fresno area. The child, who had been missing for the past month, was later found to have been posted for prostitution in numerous online classified advertisements. Over a four-week timespan, as many as 22 separate advertisements depicting the child were located in the counties of Fresno, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Riverside.

RCAHT Task Force Officers, working cooperatively with the Riverside Police Department’s Vice Unit, located a recent prostitution posting that appeared to depict photos of the missing child. Officers, acting in an undercover capacity, replied to the advertisement posing as a prospective sex buyer and negotiated for an act of prostitution. This led officers to a motel in the 10700 block of Magnolia Avenue in the city of Riverside where the child victim was located and taken into protective custody. Also, present and detained at the location were three adults who were in the accompaniment of the minor.

As a result of the investigation, all three adults were ultimately arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center in the city of Riverside. The adults were identified and charged as follows:

  • Gabriella Ann Alvarado, 18, a resident of Fresno. Alvarado was booked on charges of human trafficking of a minor and pimping of a minor.
  • Ramon Avina Chavez, 20, a resident of Fresno. Chavez was booked on charges of human trafficking of a minor, pimping of a minor, and several charges related to his possession of a loaded, concealable firearm with obliterated serial numbers.
  • Alicia Monet Thao, 21, a resident of Viola. Thao was booked on charges of human trafficking of a minor and pandering.

All three suspects remain in-custody and bail for each has been set at $500,000.00.

Three Roosevelt Athletes Sign Early With D1 Schools

By Anthony Saude

Eastvale – Roosevelt high school, in Eastvale, had 3 students from their varsity football team sign early letters of intent on December 21 the theater on campus. There were between 700-1000 people in attendance and Coach Tommy Leech was the master of ceremonies for the day. Jeremy Moussa, played quarterback for the Mustangs and signed with Hawaii. Head coach Tommy Leach said, “Jeremy had multiple offers, but ever since Hawaii came to see him I kept hoping for him to go there”. Leach said that when they first saw him throw the football ball they loved him. Hawaii told me “he can really sling the ball” Leach said. Chase Williams played both ways for Mustangs; he played both wide receiver and defensive back. Leach said, “When I arrived at the school to coach two years ago I asked Chase if he wanted to play defensive back or wide receiver”. Chase said “I am a wide receiver coach”. Leach asked him while he was on the stage, “What position do you play now”, “defensive back coach”, answered Williams. Chase had committed to Nebraska earlier in the year but when their coach, Mike Riley, was terminated Chase terminated his commitment to them in the face of uncertainty. Chase didn’t tell anybody what his choice would be until signing day. He presented everybody in attendance with his decision by revealing a USC shirt after a 10 second countdown.  Andrew Koch played defensive end in high school but signed with Utah State to play offensive line. Leach said that Koch “loves to grind and told his college coach that he wouldn’t wait until the fall to go to school because he wanted to start the grind as soon as possible”. Leach praised each of them, Chase and Andrew, for “keeping an open mind about positions to give each of them the best opportunity possible to play at a great school. Leach gave high praises to all three young men for their commitment to the team, the school and their future. Leach said, “each one of these young men showed exceptional leadership abilities and desire to be the best example they could be to all the other players on the team. Fox news was in attendance along with the press enterprise and other publications. The Mustangs had a winning season this year and these three guys were a huge part.

A New Year and a New Beginning

By Pastor Sean Ortiz

2 Corinthians 5:17

17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the NEW creation has come. The old has gone, the NEW is here!

Have you ever realized we make resolutions every year?  How many do you keep?  What if you kept all your resolutions every year, where would you be in life?

I want you to know that every NEW year is a NEW beginning. NEW means not existing before, made, introduced, discovered recently or for the first time.”  What is it in your life that will be discovered for the first time?  A new attitude, outlook a job, career or potential you never saw before.

It is interesting that in Corinthians Paul says if you are in Christ you are a NEW creation. That is saying, if you truly want to keep the NEW, we need to keep Jesus in our life.  If you keep failing at your resolutions or they never come to pass it might be because Christ is not in them. When we put Christ first, our plans change to HIS plans. That is where true NEW comes from. If you want the NEW it is time to ask the question. Am I IN CHRIST? Which means, do I believe or will I BE LIVING for Christ? Jesus promises, as Paul states that the OLD is GONE. This means we can change. We can have a NEW perspective, outlook and future only found in CHRIST. It is time to let Jesus in your life and do what I always encourage everyone to do.  LET GO and LET GOD>>>>> in every area of your life. Then you will see the NEW.  HAPPY NEW YEAR and may it be a truly lifechanging one for you and your loved ones.

Eastvale To Boost Police Patrols

By Michael Armijo

Eastvale – The Eastvale City Council voted to amend it’s contract with the Riverside Sheriff’s Department (RSO), which will increase police presence to 10 deputies a day. The city council voted last month to also add an additional motorcycle officer which will increase traffic enforcement.

“Amendments to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department contract to increase staffing have been something that the city has done in a very incremental and conservative manner due to the negative impacts of the loss of our vehicle license fee revenue,” said Michele Nissen, City Manager for Eastvale.

Unfortunately, there is a waiting period for this to take effect due to the county-wide staffing shortage at RSO. City Manager Michele Nissen told the council at last month’s meeting it could take up to a year before the deputies are available. They have to recruit, hire, train, and deploy more officers, she said. But city officials are working on speeding up the process somehow.

The new cost could take about another $1 million dollars a year, but final costs are still being calculated. With the retail growth since the city’s incorporation in 2010, the city the sales tax revenue would contribute to these expenses. The city gets 1% of all sales tax generated from businesses within the city. This goes to the general fund. This is why it’s important to shop within city limits.

“Due to the passage of SB130 and the return of VLF revenue, we will now be able to revisit our law enforcement contract as was discussed during the fiscal year 17/18 budget workshops,” added Nissen. That source of revenue is the $4.3 million boost the city will receive from the vehicle license fee (VLF). The VLF funds were taken away by a last minute legislative bill from the governor a few years ago. The bill took away VLF funds from Eastvale and three other new cities. The city rallied and successfully reversed that bill and the state agreed to return the funds. VLF funds are paid in 2 bi-annual installments and it trails property tax so it’s paid in late January and late May (50% payment and then another 50%, totaling the $4.3M listed in the staff report). Sacramento isn’t returning any funds they already took ($19.3M from Eastvale) but they are going to start paying us our “fair share” of VLF revenue like all the other cities in CA. We will be treated equitably now, Nissen said.

“The City still lost approximately $19.3M which will not be returned but at least we will have VLF revenue moving forward which will allow us to better address the needs of our growing city,” added Nissen. The city now contracts for 90 patrol hours per day. The new agreement will be from 90 hours to 100 hours per day. PLUS a motorcycle officer, which is a dedicated position, and will be an addition to the 10 hours added.

To increase traffic officers and increase patrols has been a huge concern for the city and residents. Now that the city has been successful with so many retail developments (see “here we grow again” story on www.anapr.com) city services will be able to increase.

The city of Eastvale has contracted with RSO for police services since their incorporation. Without contracting with RSO to provide police services, the city would have to create their own police department. Cities like Corona, Chino, West Covina, Baldwin Park, and Los Angeles have their own police departments. Eastvale, like Jurupa Valley, Chino Hills, Diamond Bar, and Walnut all are considered “contract cities” and subcontract with county Sheriff departments. At this point, creating a city police department would not be a viable option for Eastvale.

Clark’s Nutrition

By Staff Reports

Chino– The New Year is here and everybody has some sort of resolution for 2018. With obesity being an epidemic in America naturally the majority of these resolutions have to do with weight loss. Weight loss is simply a symptom of the real problem, our health. Clark’s Nutrition addresses the problem not the symptom. Healthy living is the name of the game and if you aren’t shopping at Clark’s it would be like taking a knife to a gun fight.

During this time of year the Flu is always a big problem and this year is no different. I recently visited Clark’s Nutrition in Chino for the first time. Clark’s is not just bigger and better, but it’s one of the most amazing natural foods stores I’ve ever been in. Staying healthy with their extensive variety of vitamins during this season is the first phase of staying with your resolution. Phase two is the education on how to become healthy from the inside out. The final phase is to essentially change who we are so that 2018 can truly be different. We can say we are going to do something but if we don’t change how we look at things and how we live it simply won’t last.

What’s a Clarks store like? Imagine if you morphed Sprouts, Whole Foods, GNC, and Trader Joes into one store. It would be called Clarks! Clark’s has the largest selection of organic produce, supplements, and natural foods in the Inland Empire. They also have a great bulk foods section, they have grass-fed meats, a full dairy section, and the Chino location even has a juice bar! Clark’s was recently featured on a bus tour that brought other natural foods grocers from all over the world to visit Clarks in Chino. Clark’s has been told they have the largest supplement section in the United States in their Chino location. Basically, if you are looking for it, they’ve got it! I’ve also noticed that Clark’s prices are reasonable on most everything. I was surprised at the pricing since they had so much selection; I thought I would be paying for it; yet another pleasant surprise.

If that isn’t enough to get you into Clarks, they have Nutritional Consultants to help you. These Nutritional Consultants really know a lot about nutrition. Just look for the employees in the maroon shirts. They’re the Nutritional Consultants. Kyle and Joe are a couple of my favorites, but they’re all great. Clark’s has a 5-level training program that takes these Nutritional Consultants about 3 ½ years to complete. This sets them apart from everyone. Starkie Sowers, Clark’s Director of Education writes and teaches these in-house classes. Starkie says, “From the beginning, we knew we wanted to really help people educate themselves about their own health.” No one at Clarks is on commission. Starkie adds, “I’ve been with Clarks for 36 years and although the natural foods industry has grown and changed a great deal, the Clark family have always been committed to providing solid answers for customers trying to navigate their unique heath goals.” Clark’s attracts a wide variety of customers; people with food allergens, those wanting to get/remain fit, moms trying to help their family eat healthier, customers seeking holistic approaches to health and wellness, Vegans, Vegetarians…and the list goes on. Marketing Director, Mike Barnett says, “People are looking for a trusted source for their nutrition questions and Clark’s knowledgeable Nutritional Consultants are the final stop for people looking for real help.”

As a lifelong resident in the Inland Empire, I had heard of Clarks, but didn’t know where their locations are and that they’ve been around since 1972. Clarks’ is family owned and operated. It makes me feel good knowing that I am supporting a small local business rather helping shareholders make more money. All four of Clark’s locations are local: Chino, Riverside, Loma Linda, and Rancho Mirage. I am glad to finally count myself among those that “get it!” My family and I can be found at Clarks in Chino. Discover Clark’s Nutrition and stop settling for less.

That was when a large 3 axel truck without a trailer attached happened to be passing by, ran Mckinney over and he was killed. The CHP news release sid that it is still unclear if the driver of the truck realized if he had run over Mckinney or anything at all for that matter.

The CHP asks anyone with information on the incident to call 951-637-8000.

When the CHP was contacted for further information on January 5, they said that “there isn’t any new information about the incident available at this time, the investigation is ongoing”.

Off-Duty Officer Shoots At Burglary Suspects

By Anthony Saude

Eastvale – An off-duty city of Pomona police officer, an Eastvale resident, opened fire at one of three men who broke into his home Saturday afternoon, Dec. 23. All three alleged suspects managed to escape unharmed after the shooting. The incident happened on the 6400 block of Caxton Street, south of Limonite Avenue and east of Hamner Avenue, in Eastvale.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies from the Eastvale Police Station responded to the home invasion at about 1:37 p.m. The deputies responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary and a shooting that had taken place at the off-duty officer’s home, Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Ben Ramirez explained after the incident.

When deputies arrived at the location, they spoke with the off-duty officer and he advised them that he and another person were inside the home when they heard several subjects moving around inside the house.

It was reported that Ramirez said, “The off-duty officer armed himself and confronted two suspects in an upstairs room.” Reports show that the officer confronted the suspects at gunpoint, and fired several times at one of the suspects.  It is believed that all 3 of the suspects were able to flee the home unharmed.

Additional deputies and investigators were brought in from the Jurupa Valley Station and secured the scene and canvassed the surrounding neighborhoods in search of the three alleged burglars.

The three suspects were described to investigating deputies by other residents as three black men between the ages of 18-28 years, with thin to medium build. The three men reportedly were seen driving away from the area in a gray Hyundai.

Due to the extenuating circumstances, investigators from the Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. Investigators found signs of forced entry into the residence during their investigation. The shooting investigation is still an active and ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Investigator Martinez at the Jurupa Valley Station at (951) 955-2600, or Investigator Bishop at the Central Homicide Unit at (951) 955-2777. Callers can refer to incident file number EV173570054 and can remain anonymous.

Joy vs Happiness

By Rohmon Merchant

Joy isn’t like happiness which is based upon happenings or whether things are going well or not. No, joy remains even amidst the suffering. Joy is not happiness. Joy is an emotion that’s acquired by the anticipation, acquisition or even the expectations of something great or wonderful. It could be described as exhilaration, delight, sheer gladness, and can result from a remarkable success. You can even find joy in a unmet expectation, or a letdown, if you determine in your heart to not let situations get the best of you and keep your positive outlook and continence, graduation but the definition of joy that the world holds is not nearly as amazing as biblical joy, but joy is also a gift.

During my time in ministry, which coincidentally also holds some of the most devastating moments of my life I found that the only way God can get the best out of me is when I receive his joy for me and stay in that vein. I am quickly reminded through the times when God showed how real he is and how he carried me out of tough times and even had has hand on me during the incredible times. When I think of those times, and the beauty that only God can make from this life that I clearly messed up more than anyone can I feel this overwhelming peace that passes all understanding and this strong confidence that God is in total control and excitement about possibilities and unknown futures…that’s Joy. It’s contagious and it brings the scripture “the joy of the lord is my strength” to life. (Nehemiah 8:10)

So instead of looking for happiness this year I will live in the joy. Letting it grow in and through me and who knows? Let’s see what happens what God can do with someone with everlasting joy in their heart, or compromising happiness that is fleeting.

Does Calcium Cause Heart Disease?

By Clark’s Nutrition

Calcium consumption from foods and supplementation has become somewhat controversial in the last few years. Osteoporosis prevention has centered on the consumption of calcium from foods and supplementation. Recently, (in October 2016) the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) released a research article that suggested higher consumption of calcium from supplementation might increase the risk of coronary artery calcification (also known as CAC). The information contained in this article helped many individuals see a different view of calcium supplementation. Although it is important to note the JAHA study also suggested that total atherosclerosis was less with individuals who consumed more total calcium via foods and supplementation but suggested the food group was best.  There are also some other responses have come out in support of calcium supplementation. The National Osteoporosis Foundation and American Society for Preventive Cardiology convened an expert panel to look at research to determine other positions for calcium supplementation. These two groups concluded that supplemental calcium with or without vitamin D have no relationship either good or bad to the risk of cardiovascular disease and cerebralvascular disease mortality. They also found that generally there was no cause of mortality in healthy adults when using calcium supplementation. They also recommend that individuals consume no more than the upper daily limits for calcium at 2000-2500mg per day including foods and supplementation. Additionally the NOF suggested that calcium is a nutrient that is lacking in many individuals. Although there is a lot of negative press about the use of calcium, the Council for Responsible Nutrition also reported that the American Heart Association’s Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis suggests that there is proof of safety in supplementation because of the positive association with total calcium consumption and reduction in lower rates of atherosclerosis. As always, if you have any questions about the use of supplementation, please consult with your doctor before using any products.

None of the allegations being investigated took place on school grounds according to reports by the police.

A 15 year-old made allegations against Mitchell in 2010 but that case was suspended because of a lack of evidence the police reported. This most recent investigation had been going on for 4 months before Mitchell was arrested on the last day of November. Mitchell was booked on suspicion of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child, oral copulation with a minor, sexual penetration with a minor and two counts of annoying or molesting children.

Jail records show that Mitchell was able to post his $90,000 bail and was released the next day Friday December 1. A 17 year old girl that worked at Player’s Edge reported that he had been having “sexually explicit” conservations with her according to the police. A different 17 year old told police that she also quit working at players edge because Mitchell had committed sexual battery against her. The other allegation was from another girl, whose age has not been released, said Mitchell and her had “engaged in a sex act” in Eastvale.

Detectives are asking anyone who was a victim of Mitchell or has any information related to the investigation to contact Detective John Garcia at 951-739-4858 or John.Garcia@CoronaCA.gov.

 

Powering Through Plateaus

By Dave Nelson

You’ve been doing it. You’ve been doing it right. You’re eating well (even on the weekends). You’re making every one of your workouts count, and your results to this point have been fantastic. But then it happens… THE DREADED PLATEAU!

This is one of the most frustrating things that everyone trying to get healthy and fit experiences. One thing that you need to understand is that the human body is highly adaptive. Even though you’re on a “clean” diet and a good exercise regimen, eventually your body will get used to what you’re doing.

At first the results are great, but eventually they come screeching to a halt. Since our bodies are used to what we’ve been doing, we need to do something radically different to shock ourselves and get our results going in the right direction again. Here are a few tips to help break through that plateau.

TIP1: Change the diet, your body will eventually get used to the way you’re eating and results will halt. Throwing your body a curveball can happen many ways here. If you are following an IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) type of plan, you may want to consider going into ketosis for a while. Switching your body from glucose to ketones as energy is a great strategy. If you’re in ketosis you may want to throw some carb cycling in the mix. Make it a little more extreme with intermittent fasting for a while. I cannot stress enough that any diet will work as long as it fits your lifestyle. One reason diet fails is because people choose those that do not fit their lifestyle.

TIP2: Change your workout, your body will adapt to the workout program you’ve been following. All it takes is a few simple tweaks get your body going in the right direction again. Try taking only 60-seconds rest in between your sets and see if the difficulty of your workouts increase. If 60-seconds doesn’t show promise, try 45-seconds or even 30- seconds. The point is to challenge your body in a whole new way. You can change the time of day that you work out, alter the style of training that you’re doing; try muscle hypertrophy, German volume training, strength training or training for muscle endurance. Change from doing steady state cardio to high intensity interval training or vise versa. Perhaps you start weight training in the mornings and do cardio at night. Whatever it is you decide, make sure that it fits your lifestyle so you can stick with it just like the diet.

TIP3: Try supplements. Not everyone utilizes supplements but they can impact and enhance your results. Taking a pre-workout 30- minutes prior to your workout can intensify your workouts by increasing energy to enhancr your performance. If you are already taking a pre-workout, you may want to try a different kind for a while just to switch things up. I would highly suggest taking branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). The combination of leucine, isoleucine, and valine is an excellent complex to help enhance recovery times so you can go into the next workout less sore and ready to go. You may also want to consider a protein shake if you are not hitting your target protein intake daily.
