Chino Hills, CA – The large dog side of the dog park at Vila Borba Park will be closed
for renovation of the existing turf starting on Monday, July 9th. During the closure,
the small dog side will be will be separated into two sides with portable fencing so
that the large dogs may still enjoy visiting the dog park. There are two access
gates for the small dog area and temporary signage will direct dogs to the proper
side during the renovation. The schedule anticipates an August 4th re-opening of
the large dog side of the park unless weather causes delays.
The dog park at Vila Borba Park, 17001 Amadora Drive, has been very popular
since its grand opening in December 2015. According to City officials, large dogs
love to run in packs during their visits to the park and their large paws cause
significant wear on the turf. Residents requested real grass as the dog park during
the design input process. Real grass does require periodic renovation.

EASTVALE  –It is illegal to possess, discharge, or sell fireworks within the city limits. All fireworks, even your basic sparklers are illegal, not only in Eastvale but in all Riverside County. Every year fireworks cause major injuries and damages that many times end tragically. Stopping the use of illegal fireworks will put an end these things happening; just leave the fireworks to the professionals.

CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department, Riverside County Sherriff’s Department, and City of Eastvale Code Enforcement Team will be enforcing a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy for any person caught with fireworks. Under the City of Eastvale’s Municipal Code of Ordinance: Section 8.22.030. – Prohibition it says that the possession and use of fireworks is prohibited. Anybody found in possession of Fireworks will be prosecuted and and subject to: confiscation of fireworks, arrest, citation, and/or fines. Under the City of Eastvale’s Municipal Code of Ordinance: Section 8.22.070. – Penalties, fines for violators can reach as much as $1,000. A combination of fines for the use of illegal fireworks can add up quick and could cost up to $3,500.

Riverside County is a desert with very diverse terrain and lots of dry vegetation this time of year. Fireworks, even the “safe and sane” kind can easily start a brush fire that could end in tragedy. Anybody who causes a fire by using illegal fireworks will be held responsible for all cost that come from putting out that fire. After the firemen are paid, truck and fuel usage and property damage costs are added up that could run in the millions of dollars.

Anyone observing the illegal use of fireworks is urged to contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department immediately by calling dispatch at 951.776.1099. Information can also be provided anonymously by calling Crime Tips at 800.950.2444. For all immediate threats to life or property, please dial 9-1-1.

Chino Hills, CA – Tennis court lighting and walkway lighting at Grand Avenue Park will be off from Monday, June 18 to Monday, July 9 during electrical work that is required for the installation of artificial turf. Lighting on the basketball courts and hockey rink is not affected. Trails adjacent to the park will be gated at dusk due to the reduced lighting.

The $2.4 million project will mean less down time for maintenance, and more playing time on the fields. The turf is provided and installed by FieldTurf USA, Inc. It comes with a 10-year warranty. According to City staff, the product has a patented drainage and layered sub-system with an enhanced volume of infill which has been proven to reduce the potential for injuries.

The turf’s new and improved blades of grass have earned the industry’s highest quality certification rating issued by the nationally accredited testing
firm, LaboSports. “Players will appreciate the new “Cool Play” infill, which is the top layer of infill that holds the blades of grass in place,” said Jonathan Marshall, Community Services Director. “It reduces surface temperatures by over 30 degrees.”
Work is progressing quickly with the goal to be ready for soccer season.

Eastbound lanes are currently closed on Limonite Avenue at Eastvale Gateway.

DIAMOND BAR— A Diamond Bar woman was arrested by FBI agents for fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and five other counts, after an indictment was issued, according to the US Attorneys Office.

Li Lin Hsu, 40, who formerly worked as an Ameriprise Financial Adviser was arrested by special agents for allegedly embezzling clients’ funds that she promised would be invested. Instead Hsu used the money for a $1 million condominium and other personal expenses, the indictment read.

The trial for Hsu is expected to begin June 12 in Santa Ana on the federal charges. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in federal prison for each of the fraud counts, 10 years on the money laundering count, and 5 years on the obstruction of justice charge.

The indictment also charges Hsu with three counts each of mail and wire fraud, with one count of money laundering and one count of obstruction of justice.

Over a five-year period, while employed by Ameriprise, Hsu solicited investments from clients through advertisements in local Chinese-language newspapers, among other ways. She allegedly continued the crime even after her 2015 termination from the company. The indictment contends that Hsu conned 11 victims out of at least $2 million.

According to the indictment, Hsu never invested her clients’ money in anything; instead she spent the money on her own personal expenses, such as credit card bills, personal loans and luxury items. It is believed that she even purchased a $1 million condo with some of the money.

The money laundering charge alleges Hsu used nearly $1 million stolen from one victim to purchase her condo in Diamond Bar. Hsu allegedly attempted to conceal the Real Estate scheme by using some of the stolen money to pay back some of the other victims to throw the authorities off of her trail. She sent her clients bogus account statements with phony investment purchase confirmations.

Remembering Pomona Police Officer Officer Daniel Fraembs
End of Watch: Saturday, May 11, 1996

Pomona Police Officer Daniel Fraembs was shot and killed while checking on three suspicious subjects, two male gang members and a female, in an industrial area of Pomona on May 11, 1996.

As Officer Fraembs patted down the first male suspect the second man was able to draw a .45 caliber handgun and fatally shot Officer Fraembs.  The gang member responsible was captured and sentenced to death in 1997.

Looking back at Officer Daniel Fraembs childhood, he was destined for a career in law enforcement.  Daniel was found orphaned on a beach in Hong Kong and taken into an orphanage by a local policeman. At nine months old, he was adopted by Donald and Dorothy Fraembs of Cincinnati, Ohio, and became a citizen of the United States in 1963. He rose to the rank of sergeant during four years in the U.S. Marine Corps until receiving an honorable discharge, and 3 years later, in 1988, started his appointment to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.  He worked with the Sheriff’s Department for 5 years, before joining the Pomona Police Department.

We will never forget Officer Daniel Fraembs.

New and emerging technologies are supporting today’s students and teachers in unprecedented ways. Here are a few ways this is happening in schools in local communities across the country.

• Communication Apps. New apps such as ClassDojo, are making it easier for teachers to actively communicate with students and parents. Teachers can send encouraging messages to students via the app and message with parents. What’s more, students can create digital portfolios to share at home with their families. With flexibility to access the app on tablets, phones, computers and smartboards, its versatility helps foster a learning community.

• Collaborative Math Resources. The textbook is no longer the sole resource math students can rely on to succeed. New software is making mathematics more accessible, interactive and personalized. For example, ClassPad.net, a one-stop shop for educators and students, helps students investigate mathematics more deeply and enhance their understanding of related concepts. Designed to be equally usable by keyboard/mouse and touchscreen-based platforms, this all-in-one web-based mathematics resource is geared for K-12 mathematics and beyond. Allowing for simultaneous work with calculations, graphing, geometry and data analysis/statistics, this tech helps teachers demonstrate things they can’t show in other ways, something 65 percent of educators said was important in a study conducted by PBS Learning Media.

• World “Travel.” While nothing will replace the excitement of a field trip, leaving school grounds can be time consuming and cost prohibitive. Luckily, no permission slip is required to travel the world from the comfort of the classroom. Today’s classrooms are using Google Earth to virtually visit the sites of a distant city or observe the topography of a mountain range. They can also access the collections and exhibitions of museums and libraries around the world online. And augmented reality is creating new opportunities to “visit” interesting locations and engage with their surroundings.

• Advanced Lesson Presentations. Remember the overhead projector in your classroom? Today’s teachers have more versatile options that can even be controlled from a smartphone or tablet. For example, Casio’s award-winning LampFree XJ-UT351WN Ultra Short Throw projector features two HDMI ports, a dust-resistant design and the ability to generate large images over very short projection distances, such as in classrooms. Even in very small classrooms, it can project an 80-inch from just 1.5 feet away. Schools looking to go green, save money or both will benefit from its hybrid Laser and LED light source, which eliminates the need for expensive and hazardous mercury lamps while delivering a 20,000-hour estimated operating life.

• 3-D Printers. Classrooms fortunate enough to have 3-D printers are able to give students endless hands-on opportunities to be creative, and teachers can use the printers to create needed classroom materials — from anatomical and architectural models to maps and musical instruments.

As classrooms adopt cutting edge technologies, students are being given exciting new methods of absorbing lessons in their school subjects.
