Eastvale City Manager Receives Prestigious Award

Eastvale City Manager Michele Nissen

Eastvale City Manager Michele Nissen

By Marissa Mitchell

Eastvale – Michele Nissen, Eastvale City Manager, received the Boy Scouts of America Distinguished Citizens Award for the ‘Temescal District’ Inland Empire last month. The other two recipients included Kathy Azevedo, former Mayor of Norco, and Jim Pauley, member of the Corona Rotary Club.

The Distinguished Citizens Award is given to those who have been exemplary models of service for community youth; this individual is one who has demonstrated leadership in business, or government, and who “lives by the Scout Oath and Law.” As there are many individuals who contribute time and effort to the Boy Scouts and/or local government and business, the award is not easily come by in any district.

Ms. Nissen was informed of her selection prior to the Temescal Boy Scouts dinner. A picture of her and her fellow award winners could be seen at the dinner itself, as they posed happily together with their respective trophies for the Distinguished Citizen Award on September 27, 2017.

“I didn’t do anything that was specifically about supporting Boy Scouts operations, projects or fundraising,” stated Nissen humbly. “What they are achieving…they are doing all on their own with hard work and support of the Eastvale Community as a whole.” Still, as City Manager, Nissen obviously has something to do with how the Boy Scouts have flourished in and around the Eastvale area.

Nissen continued, “As for the Distinguished Citizen Award, I was very surprised and I wasn’t sure I had done anything above and beyond to warrant such recognition. Needless to say, I was very proud and honored to be recognized.” The City Manager has lived in Eastvale since October 2001 and has since then focused on service for the community. She was appointed to City Manager of Eastvale in May of 2015.

Nissen’s contributions obviously impressed Boy Scout leadership. The Boy Scouts have 2,157 youth members, with over 500 adult volunteers delivering the program, in the Norco, Corona, Eastvale, Chino, and Chino Hills communities. Collectively, over 10,000 hours of community service projects that positively impact the communities in a variety of ways have been gathered just this year.

Each year, approximately 85 Scouts earn the coveted “Eagle Rank.” This is a difficult rank to obtain involving many hours dedicated toward a single, community-impacting project. Currently, more than 45 Chartered Partners, including local churches, service clubs, and community organizations, deliver local packs, troops, teams, and crews.

The Boy Scouts is an organization that lives and abides by actions of integrity. By their high standards, Michele Nissen fulfilled the “Scout Oath” they proudly uphold: “On my honor I will do my best/ To my duty to God and my country/ And to obey the Scout Law;/ To help other people at all times;/ To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

Eastvale Crime Recap: October 2017

INCIDENT: GRAND THEFT AND CONSPIRACY

WHEN: 10/16/2017

WHERE: 1200 block of Hamner Ave., City of Norco

On October 16, 2017, at approximately 2:00 p.m., deputies from the Norco Sheriff’s Office responded to a theft at a business, located in the 1200 block of Hamner Avenue, in the city of Norco.

Three suspects entered the business, took merchandise, and exited without paying. Officers arrived at the location and contacted a suspect (later identified as Melargo Bobo, age 20 of Lancaster).  Two other suspects (later identified as Oshaunice Holderness, age 25 of Lancaster, and Angelica Bobo, age 25 of Lancaster) were also located after they attempted to drive away from the location. Deputies located additional evidence inside of the vehicle linking them to an additional theft that occurred at a retail business located in the 12400 block of Limonite, in the city of Eastvale.

All three suspects were arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center, located in the city of Riverside for grand theft and conspiracy. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Deputy Bloomer or Deputy Robertson from the Norco Sheriff’s Office at (951) 270-5673.

 

INCIDENT: POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY

WHEN: 10/18/2017

WHERE: 13000 block of Running Deer Circle, Eastvale

DETAILS: On Wednesday, October 18, 2017, about 9:06 AM, a resident called to report a vehicle theft of his dirt bike motorcycle. The victim informed officers that his dirt bike motorcycle was stolen from the inside of his garage.  The victim posted a picture of the stolen dirt bike, via social media. Numerous residents of Eastvale reported both on social media and through calls for service with dispatch as to seeing two individuals riding on the reported stolen dirt bike.

About 7:00 PM, the victim was notified, via social media, that his stolen dirt bike was placed at a corner near his residence. Deputies assigned to the city of Eastvale conducted further investigation regarding the pictures that were posted on social media. The suspects were identified as eighteen-year oldDestin J-Brent and a fifteen-year old juvenile both of Eastvale.

On Thursday, October 19, 2017, Destin J-Brent was booked into Robert Presley Detention Center for possession of stolen property and the juvenile was booked into Juvenile Hall for possession of stolen property.

The Eastvale Police Department would like to thank the vigilante citizens of the community of Eastvale. The leads generated by the citizens of Eastvale helped solve this crime. The power of social media is a great tool for law enforcement as well as community members to be informed with crime in their communities.

Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call Corporal Torres 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 (800-782-7463) or 800-47-DRUGS (800-473-7847).  You can also leave anonymous information at www.riversidesheriff.org/tipline or www.wetip.com .

DETAILS: On Saturday, October 21, 2017, at 2:25 a.m., officers assigned to the Jurupa Valley Police Department responded to the area of Country Village Rd. and Oak Leaf Way, Jurupa Valley, regarding a major-injury traffic collision.  The preliminary investigation revealed a vehicle traveling northbound on Country Village Rd., drifted into oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with a vehicle traveling southbound on Country Village Rd.  The occupants of both vehicles were transported to local area hospitals for serious injuries sustained during the collision. This investigation is ongoing, but alcohol and/or drug impairment appears to be a factor in this collision.

The Jurupa Valley Police Department’s Traffic Collision Reconstruction Team responded to the scene to conduct this investigation.  This investigation is ongoing and we are asking anyone with additional information to contact Deputy Petersen at the Jurupa Valley Station at 951-955-2600.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: ILLEGAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

WHEN: 10/25/2017

WHERE: Riverside County

DETAILS: The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has experienced an increase in the number of criminal investigations involving the illegal sales of marijuana at storefront locations known as dispensaries. The Sheriff’s Department began identifying an increase in the number of non-medical marijuana dispensaries following the passage of Prop 64, in November 2016.

In the State of California, sales of non-medical marijuana are illegal and all sales of marijuana for profit is prohibited under Prop 215. California law has only DECRIMININALIZED (Not Legalized) the sales of marijuana to seriously ill individuals who have a physician’s recommendation. This means that person(s) who sale, cultivate and/or possesses marijuana for their personal medical needs or the medical needs of a person they are a caregiver for will have a legal defense for selling, cultivating or possessing marijuana, as long as they do not exceed the amount of marijuana reasonably necessary for their medical condition. Under Prop 215, a medical marijuana recommendation from a doctor does not exempt a person from an investigation or prosecution.

On October 25, 2017, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Marijuana Enforcement Team served a search warrant for illegal sales of marijuana at a local dispensary in the City of Jurupa Valley. Following a criminal investigation, and pursuant to the search warrant, several items of marijuana product were seized as evidence. Once the investigation is completed, the case will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office for criminal prosecution.

The Riverside Sheriff’s Department would like to remind the public that sales of non-medical marijuana is in violation of State and Federal law. Those found in violation of illegal sales of marijuana are subject to arrest and prosecution. The City of Jurupa Valley would also like to remind residents that all sales of marijuana are strictly prohibited in the city.

Halloween Auto Accident

By Anthony Saude

Eastvale – Riverside County Fire Department responded to a call at Halloween night about an automobile accident on the corner of Schleisman and Cedar Creek in the city of Eastvale.

Captain Schmidt from the original Eastvale Fire Station 27 on Hamner said “the call came in at approximately 9:30 pm and we were out there until after midnight”.

“Truck 17 from Glen Avon, Fire Engines from Station 31 and 27, all the same Fire Department, were dispatched to the scene said the Captain”. “Three people were trapped in the vehicles and had to be extricated using the “Jaws of Life” said Captain Schmidt. Capt. Schmidt said “the victims suffered minor injuries and were transported via ambulance to a local hospital to treat their injuries”. “The intersection was partially closed off to traffic while the firefighters continued working” the Captain added.

An Eastvale Resident posted: “Unfortunate accident on Halloween night. Fire department is continuing to free the last passenger. Corner of Schleisman and Cedar Creek. Many accidents have happened in this corner, city of Eastvale needs to put a stop light/sign on this intersection” Another resident had this to say, “I have to tell you this city amazes me more and more every day. My husband and I heard the accident and ran out of the house quickly. There were already people running over to assist help. Calls to 911 were being made. What didn’t stop was the flood of neighbors that kept heading over to help in whatever way they could. There were dozens of neighbors that ran and jumped in to help. I even said to my husband who are all these people that keep coming. He just said “they are our neighborhood”. Thank goodness we have good and caring people surrounding us.

14 Years Of Carpet Cleaning Experience

By Michael Armijo

 

Eastvale – Honesty and integrity are always a factor in business and are sought out continuously. But how some people get there is through longevity and experience. When you have all four of those elements you have no choice but to be successful in your field. Extreme Carpet Care clients have boasted they’ve received all four of those components. Honesty, integrity, longevity and especially experience. A great reason to get your carpets cleaned at a reasonable price. “Robert was great and did a wonderful job on the carpet in our new home,” said Daniel Radillo, who recently had his carpets cleaned in the home he bought in neighboring Jurupa. “I was budgeting for new carpet, but had to wait, but glad I did. Extreme Carpet Care saved that carpet and now I won’t need to purchase new carpet until next year, I am so thankful.” Extreme Carpet Care has a unique slogan, simple and honest: “If it comes out, we can get it out.” Their workmanship can speak for itself and their introductory special will allow you to try them out. For only $85 they’ll deep clean 3 rooms and a free hallway. That’s an entire house in many areas or high traffic rooms in larger homes. Their van mounted high powered equipment doesn’t bury the dirt but instead deep cleans and removes it with deep suction while using quality, environmentally friendly products. “You can try us at the great rate, which includes pre-spotting and deodorizer,” added Robert. “We will add carpet protection for 2 rooms ($15 a room) and get a 3rd room protected for FREE. Where else can you find $30 for added protection against stains?” Call 909.376.3766 today and have Robert and his team deep clean and protect your carpets at an affordable rate and with over 14 years of experience behind them.“If it can’t be cleaned we’ll be honest and not take your money,” he added. “We know we’ll be back to have that new carpet cleaned in the future by being honest today.”

Costco Inks Deal To Open

Staff Reports

 

Eastvale – The last hurdle has been cleared for the long awaited Costco project to move forward without any further negotiations. The city of Eastvale agreed to increase the $2.5 million to $4.5 million in future sales tax to be paid to the centers developer of the Goodman Commerce Center in November of 2016. One month after Eastvale officials agreed to the sales tax refund for the developer Costco has signed a deal to be the project’s retail anchor.

Costco will occupy 10 of the 40 acres set aside for retail in the 205-acre project.  The original pact for the $2.5 million in sales tax from the project was to help pay for street and other infrastructure improvements but the increase in the sales tax was needed to attract the likes of a big box retailer the size of Costco. City officials are very excited and grateful to be getting a Costco this will be a big deal for the city on a couple of different levels, first there is the projected $1.1 million in sales tax annually. Also when companies like Costco commit to be the anchor of the shopping center it all but guarantees other well respected, high revenue retailers will be interested in bringing their businesses to the city. Total infrastructure costs — including street improvements, sidewalks, and water, sewer and utility poles — are expected to be $36 million, according reports by the city. The City Council only agreed to the proposal as long as the lease with Costco was signed by September 30 and the store open by the end of 2018. The City also said they are going to do everything in their power to make it happen even sooner.

Mailbox Thefts Recur

Staff Reports

 

Eastvale – Another cluster of Mailboxes have been broken into last week at the corner of Post and Lost Fort Place, and please alert residents about their mail being missing. But most mail thefts occur at night, so its recommended to pick up your mail every day after your courier has arrived, most likely by 5 pm.

A few months back, residents reported thefts off Spring and Nicole Court, on the side of Riverboat and King River, and up and down Tisdale. Many believe that the thefts had increased at that time because of expected tax returns. However, these thefts have been going on for a long time and they are not unique to Eastvale. Mail thefts have been reported in Corona, Norco, Chino and other surrounding areas.

But local Police and the US Postal Service are adamant about stopping these thefts from occurring.

“The United States Postal Inspection Service will continue to bring violators to justice to secure the integrity of the U.S. Mail,” said Postal Inspector in Charge, Robert Wemyss in a statement. “Protecting the ability to use the mail in a safe and secure manner is at the core of the Postal Inspection Service’s mission,” he added.

“Mail theft and other property crimes are a rising problem and trend in this region,” said Corona Police Department Chief of Police Michael Abel. “We take these matters seriously and truly appreciate the joint cooperation in this prosecution. It’s important that we hold suspects such as these accountable for their actions.”

Tips for Spotting a Marijuana Grow House: The Eastvale Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team is partnering with the City of Eastvale’s Code Enforcement to combat the recent trend of residential indoor marijuana grow operations. This type of operation usually starts when a rental home is converted in the interior area by covering most or all of the windows. The subjects then make room-by-room conversions throughout the house by bypassing the electrical meter, installing additional electrical wiring, outlets, circuit-breaker panels, commercial grade lighting and air conditioning units. These conversions are extremely hazardous and pose a serious fire risk, not only to the home, but the surrounding homes as well. Some of the tell-tales signs of marijuana grow houses are: All windows are covered from the interior by newspaper or other materials,  Lights and televisions on timers,  Subjects moving in commercial grade electrical equipment during the late night or early morning hours,  No signs of normal residential occupation,  The smell of marijuana emitting from the home,  Can you see wires leading up to the power line before the meter? , Do people come and go at odd hours or do they never seem to be there?,  Are they accumulating the kind of trash a real resident would?,  Do strange cars pull up outside at night? ,  Is anybody taking care of the landscaping? , The sound of the air conditioner running at all the times.  The Eastvale Police Department is seeking information regarding these types of operations. Callers may remain anonymous. Reporting this type of activity can be done by calling Deputy James Herington at the Jurupa Valley Station at (951) 955-2600 or the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s dispatch center at (951)776-1099.

 

INCIDENT: DUI/DRIVER’S LICENSE CHECKPOINT

WHEN: 8/17/17

WHERE: Eastvale

DETAILS: The Eastvale Police Department’s Traffic Bureau conducted a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on August 19, 2017, at Hamner Ave. x Schleisman Rd., between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.  In recent years, California has seen a disturbing increase in drug-impaired driving crashes.  The Eastvale Police 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. Results: 621 Vehicles Screened,  1 DUI-Alcohol arrest,  10 Drivers cited/arrested for operating a vehicle unlicensed or while suspended/revoked,  10 citations issued,  3 vehicles were towed. Drivers are encouraged to download the California Office of Traffic Safety DDVIP (Designated Driver VIP) 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 Eastvale Police Department will be conducting another 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.
