Mural Unveiled At The Riverside Art Museum

Staff Reports

Corona – On Thurs., Feb. 5, at 6 p.m., the Riverside Art Museum unveiled a mural created by five young people who participated in the Corona Police Department’s California Gang Reduction and Intervention (CalGRIP) Summer Program.

These five Corona-Norco Unified School District middle school students spent 11 weeks over their summer vacation participating in the CalGRIP program, which included classes on social skills, life skills, resiliency skills and anger management. The students also took part in educational field trips including trips to the Museum of Tolerance, The West Wing Foundation and music lessons at the Fender Center for Performing Arts.

One of the program’s highlights included the creation of the mural, which was unveiled at the Feb. 5 Art Walk in downtown Riverside. The students spent six weeks learning drawing, composition and painting techniques and then put those skills to work over five weeks, creating the 64 square foot mural which was on display on the Riverside Art Museum’s front lawn.

The Corona Police Department’s CalGRIP program is a grant funded program, in collaboration with the Corona/Norco Unified School District, which strives to teach middle school age children the skills and abilities needed to become successful and productive members of our community, while emphasizing the dangers of gang involvement and at-risk behaviors through the use of multiple, evidence-based teaching programs and counseling and mentoring services.

The CalGRIP program’s goals include a reduction in gang involvement and at-risk behaviors including drug use, while increasing school attendance, grades and pro-social behaviors to better enable young people to positively interact with their peers, families and school community.

Navigating The ‘Main Street Squeeze’

Staff Reports

Photo Courtesy: RCTC.org

Corona – If you are one of the local commuters who travel into the perfect storm of the 15 and 91 Freeways merging with the influx of vehicles entering from Main Street on your way to work, there might be some relief in your near future.

The Corona Police Department is offering five tips to help you navigate the traffic, and perhaps make for a more enjoyable drive.

  1. Allow extra travel time. Do yourself a favor and leave for work or school a little earlier. That will help you relax and be more patient as your drive through this area.
    2. Make good driving decisions. When the road narrows, move over and get behind the car in front of you. Please don’t try to go around that car and then get stuck at the K-rail (cement barrier) up ahead. There are “No U-Turn” signs at Third St. and on Grand Blvd, so don’t try and make a U-turn. Please follow all rules of the road and be patient during this time.
    3. Pay attention. Travel conditions will be changing during the next two years. K-rails will be shifting. There may be some additional lane closures at night. Follow the signs, put down your cell phones, and please be respectful with other motorists and contractors.
    4. Know alternate routes. The eastbound on-ramp of Main Street will be closed, so use Lincoln Ave., Magnolia Ave., McKinley St. or Hidden Valley Pkwy. instead.
    5. Watch for workers and equipment. Although crews will be primarily working behind K-rails, there are exceptions. Please keep an eye out for crew members and their vehicles. Safety is paramount and we want everyone to make it home safely.

The Corona Police Department would like to reiterate that this is a temporary inconvenience that will ultimately benefit all commuters in the long run traveling through this area. Please remember that we’re all in this together.

DUI Saturation Patrol in Corona

Staff Reports

Corona – The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event. On Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1, there will be lots of game day socializing that may include drinking. That’s why the California Office of Traffic Safety and Police, Sheriffs, and the CHP are urging football fans to choose sides now: drinking or driving. If you plan on drinking on Super Bowl Sunday, designate a sober driver to get you home safely.

The Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk campaign encourages people to make plans ahead of time that will prevent them from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking. Everyone should be mindful that if you’re taking medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, drinking even small amounts of alcohol can greatly intensify the impairment effects. Driving impaired could result in injury or death for you or others on the road.

The Corona Police Department will be deploying Roving DUI Saturation Patrols during and following Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup. The DUI operations will be at undisclosed locations within the City where collision data reveals high incidents of DUI crashes and arrests.

According to data from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2013 there were 867 people killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes in California – 29 percent of all crash fatalities in the state. A driver is considered alcohol-impaired with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, the legal limit. This Sunday, don’t become another tragic Super Bowl stat, “Drunk driving is completely preventable,” said Sergeant Randy Wambold of the Corona Police Department. “All it takes is a little planning. We want fans to remember that it’s a choice. Drink or drive…but never do both.”

For those who plan to drink, leave your keys at home. Designate a sober driver, whether it’s a friend, relative, taxi, or public transportation. For those who plan to drive, refrain from any
alcohol. Instead, enjoy the game with food and non-alcoholic drinks. Being a sober, designated driver is a key role on Super Bowl Sunday. You might just save a life.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. OTS is offering a free mobile app – DDVIP – aimed at thanking the sober designated driver with perks and free offers at area bars and restaurants, available for iPhone and Android. Never let friends drive if they have had too much to drink.

Unopened Gift

By Pastor Robert Jewett

2 Corinthians 9:15 – Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

Pastor Robert Jewett Word of Truth Community ChurchEvery year Christmas comes and goes like a season. While many celebrate the festive occasion with gift giving, Christians gather to celebrate an even greater gift, Jesus our Savior. The greatest gift of salvation was given to mankind through Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9).

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

Although the season of Christmas may come and go, Christ’s gift of eternal life is available 24/7/365. There is no greater love, no greater gift than someone laying down his life for another. Jesus has done this for you!

May this gift not go unopened this Christmas! Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!

We invite you to join us for Christmas Eve Service at 7 p.m.

Word of Truth Community Church meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m., at 850 E. Parkridge Ave., #110, in Corona. For more information, visit WordOfTruthCC.com.

Corona – Isaac Newton said that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal or stronger force. It makes perfect sense that the more active a body is, the easier it is to remain active; but sometimes injury or illness gets in the way of a body in motion.“Kinematics” is the study of bodies in motion, and Kinematics Physical Therapy and Sports Performance Clinic is in the business of ensuring that your mobility is as smooth and efficient as possible.

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

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

As such, Kinematics sponsors and supports sports teams and schools such as the Chino Legends Soccer Club and Eleanor Roosevelt High School; and businesses like Vantage Point Church, Ignite Youth Ministry, and Living Room International. Dr. Fujita says he is looking forward to adopting more schools in the Corona-Norco Unified School District in the near future.

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

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

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

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

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

Kinematics Physical Therapy and Sports Performance is located in the Norco Campus Office Park, at 1761 Third Street, Suite 105, in Corona (92860). They proudly serve Eastvale, Norco, Corona, Chino, Mira Loma, Ontario and Riverside. And see their ad on Page 11 of this publication.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Lin Goes To Washington

Staff Reports

 

Riverside County – The Corona-Norco Unified School District is pleased to announce that Superintendent Michael Lin, Ed.D, was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as one of 100 top school leaders across American to represent their district at the White House. This first-ever National Connected Superintendents Summit was held on Wed., Nov. 19, in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Lin was among exemplary local school chiefs who were recognized for their leadership in helping transition their districts to digital learning. This unique opportunity was another example of how CNUSD continues to be a flagship district for many endeavors that assist in providing a high quality education for all students.

“I am proud to represent CNUSD, as well as Riverside County, as one of the 100 school superintendents in the nation to lead capacity building for education technology. I believe this important endeavor begins with a solid foundation of technology infrastructure built with student achievement in mind,” said Lin.

“The CNUSD Board of Trustees has established education technology as a priority in our Local Control Accountability Plan and the community has recently validated this by passing a local school improvement bond measure,” Lin added. “I am honored and humbled by this nomination and look forward to working with the nation’s superintendents in getting our school technology ready for the future. Our goal is to continuously provide a student-centered learning that transforms teaching and approaches to instruction as evidenced by our CNUSD district portal initiative.”

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

Corona: Home 4 the Holidays Reindeer Games

Dear Nixle User,

corona animal shelterThe City of Corona’s Animal Shelter has teamed with thousands of animal organizations from around the world to participate in an annual pet adoption drive called Home 4 the Holidays. The 2014 campaign, which runs from Oct. 1, 2014, through Jan. 2, 2015, unites over 3,500 partner organizations, (in all 50 states and in 23 different countries) with a focused goal of placing orphan pets into loving homes. The Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive began with a growing concern for the number of rescue facilities closing their doors during the holiday seasons. In seeking the perfect holiday gift, would-be adopters were forced to resort to pet stores or puppy mills. Additionally, pet store staffers, untrained to assess the likelihood of a successful animal/family match, contributed to an increased number of pets sent to shelters once the season was over. The Home 4 the Holidays Campaign asks shelter facilities to keep their doors open and get the word out. The program has grown into the largest pet adoption drive in the world and is credited with saving over 9.3 million pets across the globe since its inception in 1999. During the month of December 2014, selected animals named after famous reindeer have had the spay & neuter fees paid by elves, lowering their total adoption cost to $15! Please visit the Corona Animal Shelter and look for these special animals, and give them a good Home for the Holidays! Normal Dog-Licensing fees still apply. For more information call 951-736-2309, or Visit the Corona Animal Shelter at 608 Harrington St., Corona CA 92880.

Be Exalted, O God

BY PASTOR ROBERT JEWETT

Pastor Robert Jewett Word of Truth Community ChurchOne of the most common ways that man is deceived is through self-exaltation. We are taught at a very young age to believe that we are somebody special. The enemy is very crafty in getting the world to believe that they are the center of the universe and that there is no need for God. Satan’s cunning tactics deceive us to believe that everything is all about us.

In reality, we are nothing when compared to God. God is all-knowing (omniscient); we are not. God is almighty (omnipotent); we are not. God is present everywhere at the same time (omnipresent); we are not. When we understand the magnitude of how great God is, we will agree with David, “Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth,” (Psalm 57:5).

We must acknowledge that the Lord is the only one worthy to be exalted over all the earth. If we focus on the splendor of the Lord, we will be humbled to see how we do not even come close to comparing to him. Instead of exalting ourselves, we will be humbled by his majesty and will exalt him above the heavens!

Word of Truth Community Church meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m., at 850 E. Parkridge Ave., #110, in Corona. For more information, visit WordOfTruthCC.com.

 

Corona Grand Theft Arrest
