Upland Crime Report

Fitness Squared Gyms are everywhere in Upland. Whether they are large corporate gyms, smaller private gyms, boot camps or gyms with a more recent training type known as CrossFit, Upland has a high concentration of gyms that offer quite the menu for training options. Upland in particular has 10 fitness facilities that are practically within a two square mile area. With all of these gyms people may be interested to know that the dif-ferent fitness gyms can offer special-ized programs. A particular training program that was controversial at first because of its intensity-related injuries, but still devel-oped to include beginner to advanced classes and kids classes, is known as CrossFit. This sport is a competitive fit-ness challenge that has become popu-lar for many athletes since its inception by fitness coach Greg Glassman in the early 1990s. It includes dynamic train-ing with a combination of Olympic lift-ing, climbing, gymnastics and many other elements. There are currently two gyms in Up-land that offer CrossFit training. They are CrossFit Kinnick and Dalton’s CrossFit. Both gyms offer certified trainers and offer training benefits for a variety of clients. They both also partic-ipate in CrossFit competitions in teams against other gyms nationwide with cer-tified trainers. I visited one of them to get more details on the sport. CrossFit Kinnick has been in Upland since 2008. It offers a 5000 square foot facility with trainers that nearly hold all

of the CrossFit Specialty Certifications available. Jeremy Kinnick is a head trainer for CrossFit Kinnick, who was inspired to start CrossFit after seeing the movie 300, and wondering how they trained. He then started from his garage and with his love for sports and teaching people today, has the CrossFit Kinnick gym. The gym that day looked like it was filled with very fit people, but Kin-nick just said that they were all “normal people” that got fit from hard work. “Six to twelve months of training for normal people, and they can perform better than most athletes,” said Kinnick. Kinnick, a former Riverside Com-munity College baseball player, said that athletes like Double-A or Triple-A pitchers have come to train for athletic improvements. However, most of the CrossFit classmates are just regular people who love to workout. The other facility that offers CrossFit in Upland is Dalton’s CrossFit. This gym offers their own training routines based

off of CrossFit training. They are cer-tified trainers who describe their pro-grams as offering so much variety that individuals never plateau or get bored and always see results. It was estab-lished in 2010-2011 and is run by Gregg and April Dalton. According to The CrossFit Journal, routine is the enemy. There is anything but routine at CrossFit gyms. A more controversial view of the sport was in 2005, when The New York Times published an example of an overworked athlete. Brian Anderson of Washington, a former Army Ranger and a current SWAT member at the time, was reported to have developed rhab-domyolysis after a workout. He had to go to the emergency room because of muscle fibers breaking down and poi-soning his kidneys. He resumed train-ing a few months later and was glad he was pushed so far. “It can kill you. I’ve always been hon-est about that,” said CrossFit founder Greg Glassman, in a biography by

The brothers who own Upland based G3 Holistics are two of six men charged with violating federal drug laws while operating medical marijuana stores in the Inland Empire. Brothers Aaron San-dusky, 41, of Rancho Cucamonga, and Keith Alan Sandusky, 44, of Rancho Cucamonga and four others faced an August 7th trial date. They are facing a six-count federal indictment that claims their business G3 Holistic was using

California’s Proposition 215 as well as other state laws to cover an illegal mari-juana operation. G3 brothers did post bond but will be under house arrest. The six defendants were charged with conspiracy to manufacture and to pos-sess with intent to distribute marijuana.

Former Upland City Manager Robb Quincey’s termination was recently upheld by an arbitration judge in Au-

gust. Judge Sam Cianchetti found that Quincey violated Upland city ethics and his employment contract by concealing the fact that he made a settlement of a claim, brought by an Upland Police af-ter investigating a domestic incident be-tween Quincey and his fiancée in 2008.

CrossFit Virtuosity. Despite this, the sport continued to grow and is recognized today and offers all levels of introduction into the sport for all types of clients. When asked about the statement, Kinnick said that all sports have their risks, as do most activities in life in general. “We can’t just sit and live in a bubble. You’ve got to enjoy life,” said Kinnick. The CrossFit sport was founded by training coach Glassman. After hav-ing years of success from efficient, high intensity workouts, he realized the existing gaps from bodybuilding and endurance training. He started as an 18-year-old college student and gym-nastics coach. He then progressed to training celebrity and athletic type clients, even law enforcement. He opened up his first CrossFit gym in 1995 in Santa Cruz, CA, and the sport and idea has expanded greatly since.

been there for several years. McDonald’s still has a way of bringing people from all across the world togeth-er with their hamburgers and French fries and many McDonald’s establish-ments.

Last October, the plan was under discussion, but the event was consid-ered a closed session, so not much was known. However, when a sub-stantial change is proposed to any previously approved programs by

Housing and Urban Development, the public is to be notified to allow for op-portunity to comment on the proposed changes. The City Council held a Pub-lic Hearing on August 13, of this year, at the City Council Chambers. Currently, the proposed building for purchase is in the same area as the Scheu Family YMCA in Upland. The surrounding area currently has a skate park, a frequently used baseball field, and a full size basketball court. It is right next to the San Antonio Commu-nity Hospital which is currently under renovations. The Community Development Block Grant was federally designed to ensure decent, affordable housing, and to pro-vide services to those who are most vulnerable in a community. This can also create jobs through expansion and retention of businesses.

Road Upgrades or Community Facility

In August, the City of Upland began to reevaluate its use of a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant. Either it was going to be used for its original intention towards concrete improvement projects or towards pur-chasing a building near a YMCA to be used as a community facility. Either way, the grant will be used to benefit lower to moderate income individuals. Although the city was weighted to-wards the concrete improvement proj-ects, it recently decided to offer an amendment for the City’s Fiscal Year 2012-2013 One Year Action Plan.

McDonalds ended up opening their largest restaurant at the World Square in London, for the Olympics. This flag-ship restaurant took three years in the making. There were also three other smaller McDonald’s restaurants pres-ent at the Olympic Park, with possibly more to be built. The McDonald’s off of Foothill and Benson, has an old-school look, and is mostly for drive through customers, but can accommodate for sit down patrons inside. While this McDonald’s looks old, it was just built with a classic architectural design to liven up the historic Route 66 theme. It is not quite as old as its retro appearance suggests, and has only

ey in 2010 accusing Quincey, former Mayor John Pomierski, and former Po-lice Chief Steve Adams, of retaliating against him when he refused to destroy Quincey’s police report.

Former Upland City Mayor John Pom-ierski pleaded guilty to a federal bribery charge and was sentenced in early Au-gust to two years in federal prison. He was sentenced for accepting a $5,000

payment from the business owner of Chronic Cantina in Upland in exchange for a conditional use permit in 2009. At first, the City Council rejected Chronic Cantina’s request in April 2009 because of an alleged increase in crime rate. Later on, between August and October of 2009, Pomierski met and agreed to help the business in exchange for mon-ey. He was helped by a co-conspirator Jason Crebs.

Hawkins has committed to USC while USC has tried to recruit Goodman but no word yet on commit-ment as of early August. Opening season for Rancho Cu-camonga High School will be on Aug. 24 against Los Osos High School. Head Coach Nick Baiz has coached Cougar football since 2006 and looks to begin his 6th year. Etiwanda High School’s head coach Stephen Bryce has coached since 2004 and has a cumulative record of 35-44-1. The Eagles finished 2011 with 2-3 in league and had an overall 6-4 season. The Alta Loma Braves will open up against Eisenhower High School on Aug. 24. Joe Szczepanski will be the head coach going into his second year. Last year they finished their season 2-8.

Rancho Cucamonga Crime Report

It’s September and football season begins again. Fantasy football draft parties are commenced and school reputations for sports are put back into competition. While this happens, it is interesting to know that a few high school athletes have made it to the NFL in the past from the area. Most of them have come from Rancho Cucamonga High School; the high school that his-torically has had the best recent football results in the area. Rancho Cucamonga is comprised of Rancho Cucamonga High School, Eti-wanda High School and Alta Loma High School. All teams are Southern Sec-tion Division 2 teams and compete in the Baseline League. They will start the season with 5 non-league games and then 5 league games to determine who advances into CIF-SS Prelims for 2012. Four NFL athletes have come from Rancho Cucamonga High School and can still be seen playing today. One Rancho Cucamonga High School graduate who made the NFL is Terrell Thomas. He is currently a New York Gi-ants cornerback. Recently hampered by injuries, his last year played in 2010 was a career best for most of his stats. Current New England Patriots safe-ty Patrick Chung went to Rancho Cu-camonga High School and has played in the NFL since 2009. San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Brown is a 07’ alumnus of Rancho Cucamon-ga High School and is looking forward to his second year as a pro.

A man took off some of his clothes and then attempted to hold up Chase bank in Rancho Cucamonga on Friday, August 3rd. The unidentified man walked into the Chase branch at Milliken Avenue and Foothill Boulevard at about 4:20 p.m. He then took off his shirt and told a teller he was going to rob the bank. After that, he took a seat in the lobby and waited until the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived, au-

thorities said. It was unclear at the time if the man was under the influence of any controlled substances or alcohol at the time he attempted the robbery.

Thirty nine year old Rancho Cucamonga man Gregory Allen Watts was booked on suspicion of robbery and kidnap-ping. He was wanted for a series of robberies throughout the Inland Empire that included such cities as Fontana,

Upland and even La Verne. Watts was arrested shortly after he was believed to have committed another robbery at an Ontario gas station on a Thursday afternoon of August 2nd. The event took place the Mobil gas station around the 3000 block of South Archibald, an observant security guard spotted the fleeing suspect and gave information to Ontario Police Officers which led them to the alleged robber’s car.

Former New York Jets safety Gerald Alexander is also from Rancho Cu-camonga High School and started the NFL in 2007. In August, he was still listed as a free agent. Former New York Giants wide receiver Lionel Manuel Jr. did grow up in Ran-cho Cucamonga but did not play in any local high schools. He played in the NFL from 1984 to 1990. Current NFL players Kenyon Cole-man, a Dallas Cowboys defensive back, and San Diego Chargers safety Eric Weddle, attended Alta Loma High School. Last year the Cougars only lost one league game and had an overall sea-son of 11-2. They won their CIF prelim game against Chino Hills High School after trailing by 5 points in the fourth with seconds left and completing a 38-yard Hail Mary to win 39-38. In keeping with the tradition, this yearthe Cougars have two top 10 California

This comes at a time when tensionsand friction between US and Afghan forces seems to be intensifying. As more and more responsibility is being handed to the Afghans, they are playing a bigger role in increas-ing their security forces. In the south-ern Helmand province, Marine Sgt. Maj. Matthew Putnam is reported by the Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System as stating the Afghans who are mentored by Marines are successfully conducting security operations now. “I never would have expected it to be so secure … in less than 11 months,” he said. Although more secure, accord-ing to Reuter’s, fighting over the last few months did intensify. We can only wait for our soldiers to return home safely and for the Afghans to have full military control.

the United States, in Ann Arbor, Michi-gan. As of 2009, it has developed into 450 franchises in the United States. Cleaning services are by no mean in short demand by residential consum-ers and Molly Maid is at the top of their game.

Rancho Cucamonga Crime ReportOfficers soon spotted the suspect’s ve-hicle and the chase began after Watts refused to yield to their traffic stop. Watts reportedly led officers on a short pursuit before he jumped out of the vehicle and ran into a nearby neigh-borhood. An Ontario Police helicopter helped locate Watts and he was taken into custody.

An off-duty West Covina police detec-

tive suffered scrapes and cuts Monday, August 6th, when a suspected burglar who tried to rob the detective’s Rancho Cucamonga home, and dragged him with a car when the detective tried to stop his escape. Then the detective fired several shots into the car. The ve-hicle was found abandoned in Fontana. While detectives were at the scene, 31-year-old Leopoldo Pizzaro, of San Bernardino, showed up and was arrest-

ed and booked into the West Valley De-tention Center on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He then con-fessed to the incident after taken into custody at their station.

A bar fight turned deadly has two men in jail. Britain Clayborn, 24, was shot to death early Sunday morning, August 12th. Both men from Victorville were ar-rested in connection to his death.

This September marks the month that a little over a year ago President Bar-rack Obama planned to have 23,000 troops withdrawn. There would still be 70,000 troops in Afghanistan according to CBS News. A little over a month ago, a Rancho Cucamonga Marine Corporal Joshua Ashley was killed in action (KIA) in Af-ghanistan. A K-9 Handler for an MP unit, he was killed during a night patrol in the Helmand Province by an impro-vised explosive device (IED). His K-9 named Sirius, survived. Ashley was posthumously promoted to sergeant and was awarded the Purple Heart. He attended Etiwanda High School where he competed in Varsity water polo all four years and was the water polo captain. The area known as the Helmand prov-ince, where Ashley was KIA, is consid-

ered by the Marine Corp Gazelle to be one of the most volatile provinces in Af-ghanistan. The Marines are expected to significantly reduce their numbers as the main goal has always been to pass along the control to the Afghan forces. A few months ago, the Marine pres-ence was at 17,500 and by this month, their numbers are expected to be signif-icantly reduced. The amount of bases the Marines have in the area has also been greatly reduced. The Afghans will have to handle con-flicts with much less support from the Marines. The Marines are forming 44 teams of 12-18 troops, each to work with indi-vidual Afghan forces. It will be worth watching whether the Afghans, with these small Marine teams, can hold the ground that has taken its toll on so many US and British forces since 2006.

Personal house cleaning services have been well used for quite some time. I’m sure you’ve seen the Molly Maid or similar labeled car around your town from time to time. No matter what your cleaning need may be, this is a fran-chise service that has been catching on and is always a service in need. According to Referenceusa.com, there are currently 61 Verified Molly Maid listings in California. Rancho Cucamonga in itself features Merry Maids and countless other clean-ing services. Molly Maid originated from Canada in 1979. In 1984, David McKinnon ac-quired franchise rights and brought it to

Open wheel racing is nothing new to the area as racing in Southern Cali-fornia started about the same time as Indianapolis and although Indy is certainly well-known for open wheel racing, California could be consid-ered the birthplace of winning race cars. Between 1900 and 1990, 39 of the 76 Indianapolis winning cars were either built or had direct ties to the Los Angeles area.

The IZOD IndyCar Series reaches six of America’s top 10 markets and three of North America’s top DMAs, racing at a combination of super-speedways, short ovals, scenic road courses and temporary street circuits, the most diverse schedule in racing. And speaking of diverse, there’s a myriad of different things for race fans to do while checking out Championship Weekend. Great entertainment, excellent eats and world-class driver appearances are just a few of the many things we have in store for you.

Dario Franchitti, Charlie Kimball, Scott Dixon and Takuma Sato have created special signature entrees for fans to enjoy – all to be served at the new “Drivers Cuisine Cantina”. And when you’ve downed your last bite (which may be served by a sur-prise guest or two), check out the National Law Enforcement display with aircrafts, tactical teams, numer-ous safety vehicles and lots of other cool stuff.

On race day morning, a tsunami of eager participants will descend upon the Speedway for the “Color Me Rad 5K” with the artistry of Color Me Rad, a new sensation spread-ing bright colors across the country and making each event participant a walking “work of art”. Beginning at 9 am participants will walk or run Auto Club Speedway’s infield as well as portions of the 2-mile D-shaped oval while sporadically being doused with vibrant colors from well position staff in route to the finish line and post 5K celebration in the DiscoverIE Fan-Zone.

A couple of major players – namely Speedway President Gillian Zucker and Series Chief Executive Officer Randy Bernard are looking forward to more of the same.

“This facility was built to host open-wheel racing and Auto Club Speed-way has arguably hosted some of the most exciting races in Indy car history,” said Zucker. “We look for-ward to building on the area’s his-tory and tradition of open-wheel rac-ing with new records and new races beginning in 2012.”

“We feel the time is right to bring IndyCar racing back to Auto Club Speedway,” added Bernard. “The addition of Auto Club Speedway adds a great venue that was built for the high-speed, wheel-to-wheel excitement of IndyCar racing under the lights.”

History of the Death Penalty in

The Death Penalty is alive and well in California. There are 729 inmates awaiting execu-tion in San Quentin State Prison. Statistics, however, show these inmates will likely die of natural causes or suicide long before they face the ultimate penalty imposed by a judge and jury. In fact, since 1978, when the death penalty was reinstated in Cali-fornia, taxpayers have spent $4 billion on the state’s capital punishment system -- and with only 13 executions to show for it. That’s about $308 million per execution.

Here we give you a brief history of the California death penalty.

The BeginningLegal executions in California were autho-rized under the Criminal Practices Act of 1851. On February 14, 1872, capital pun-ishment was incorporated into the Penal Code, stating:

“A judgment of death must be executed within the walls or yard of a jail, or some convenient private place in the county. The Sheriff of the county must be present at the execution, and must invite the pres-ence of a physician, the District Attorney of the county, and at least twelve reputable citizens, to be selected by him; and he shall at the request of the defendant, permit such ministers of the gospel, not exceeding two, as the defendant may name, and any persons, relatives or friends, not to exceed five, to be present at the execution, togeth-er with such peace officers as he may think expedient, to witness the execution. But no other persons than those mentioned in this section can be present at the execu-tion, nor can any person under age be al-lowed to witness the same.”

State ExecutionsCapital punishment on a county level con-tinued until an amendment by the Califor-nia Legislature in 1891 provided:• A judgment of death must be executed within the walls of one of the State Prisons designated by the Court by which judg-ment is rendered.• In this statute, the warden re

placed the sheriff as the person whomust be present at the execution and invi-tation to the attorney general, rather than to the district attorney, was required.• Executions were conducted at both of the California state prisons then existing – San Quentin and Folsom. There apparently was no official rule by which judges or-dered men hanged at Folsom rather than San Quentin or vice versa. However, it was customary to send recidivists to Folsom.• The first state-conducted execution was held March 3, 1893 at San Quentin. The first execution at Folsom was on Decem-ber 13, 1895.

Lethal GasIn 1937, the Legislature provided that le-thal gas replace hanging, with August 27, 1937, as the effective date. The law did not affect the execution method for those al-ready sentenced. As a result, the last ex-ecution by hanging at Folsom was conduct-ed December 3, 1937. The last execution by hanging at San Quentin was held May 1, 1942; the defendant had been convicted of murder in 1936.

A total of 215 inmates were hanged at San Quentin and a total of 92 were hanged at Folsom.

The only lethal gas chamber in the state was constructed at San Quentin. The first execution by lethal gas was conducted De-cember 2, 1938. From that date through 1967 a total of 194 persons were execut-ed by gas, all at San Quentin. This total in-cludes four (4) women.

Legal Challenges and ChangesFor 25 years after 1967, there were no ex-ecutions in California due to various State and United States Supreme Court deci-sions.

In 1972, the California Supreme Court found that the death penalty constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the state constitution. As a result, 107 indi-viduals had their sentences changed to other than death. In November 1972, nine months after the decision, the California electorate amended the state constitution

California

for ransom, extortion, or robbery was changed from death to life without parole. Treason, train derailing or wrecking, and securing the death of an innocent person through perjury became punishable by death or life imprisonment without parole.

Proposition 7, on the California ballot in November 1978, superseded the 1977 statutes and is the death penalty statute under which California currently operates.

Under state law, cases in which the death penalty has been decreed are automatically reviewed by the State Supreme Court. The Supreme Court may:

• Affirm the conviction and the death sen-tence;• Affirm the conviction but reverse the death sentence (which results in a retrial of the penalty phase only); or• Reverse the conviction (which results in a complete new trial).

Even if the California Supreme Court af-firms the death sentence, the inmate can initiate appeals on separate constitutional issues. Called “writs of habeas corpus,” these appeals may be heard in both state and federal courts.

Although the death penalty was reinstated in 1978, no executions were carried out in California until April, 1992, when Robert Alton Harris was put to death in the San Quentin gas chamber. This was the first ex-ecution in more than 25 years.

Lethal InjectionIn January 1993, a new law went into effect allowing inmates to choose lethal injection or lethal gas as the method of execution. In August 1993, condemned inmate Da-vid Mason was executed after voluntarily waiving his federal appeals. Because Mason did not choose a method of execution, he was put to death by lethal gas, as the law then stipulated.

In October 1994, a U.S. District Judge, Northern District (San Francisco) ruled that the gas chamber was cruel and unusu-al punishment, barring the state from using

that method of execution. That ruling was upheld by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in February, 1996.

That same year, the Penal Code was modi-fied to state that if either manner of ex-ecution is held invalid, the punishment of death shall be imposed by the alternative means. The law further stipulated that le-thal injection become the “default” meth-od of execution should an inmate fail to choose. Serial killer William Bonin was ex-ecuted on February 23, 1996 by lethal in-jection, the first California execution using that method.

In February 2006, condemned inmate Michael Angelo Morales’ execution was stayed because of his claim that California’s administration of its lethal injection proto-col violated the Eighth Amendment’s pro-hibition of cruel and unusual punishment.

On December 15 of that year, the U.S. Dis-trict Court held that “California’s lethal-injection protocol – as actually adminis-tered in practice – create[d] an undue and unnecessary risk that an inmate will suffer pain so extreme that it offends the Eight Amendment.” The Court also stated that “Defendants’ implementation of lethal in-jection is broken, but it can be fixed.”

In January 2007, the Governor’s Office submitted a response to the Court’s De-cember 15, 2006 Memorandum of Intend-ed Decision. The Court had identified five specific deficiencies in California’s lethal injection protocol arising from the case of Morales v. Tilton. The specific deficiencies identified were:

• Inconsistent and unreliable screening of execution team members;• A lack of meaningful training, supervision, and oversight of the execution team;• Inconsistent and unreliable record keep-ing;• Improper mixing, preparation, and ad-ministration of sodium thiopental by the execution team; and Inadequate lighting,

and overruled the State Supreme Court.

In 1973, the United States Supreme Court held that the death penalty was unconsti-tutional as it was being administered at that time in a number of states.

California legislation was passed in 1973 which made the death penalty mandatory in certain cases under certain conditions. Among these were kidnapping if the victim dies, train wrecking if any person dies, as-sault by a life prisoner if the victim dies within a year, treason against the state, and first-degree murder under specific condi-tions (for hire, of a peace officer, of a wit-ness to prevent testimony, if committed during a robbery or burglary, if commit-ted during the course of a rape by force, if committed during performance of lewd and lascivious acts upon children, by per-sons previously convicted of murder).

In late 1976, the California Supreme Court, basing its decision on a United States Su-preme Court ruling earlier that year, held that the California death penalty statute was unconstitutional under the Federal Constitution because it did not allow the defendant to present any evidence in miti-gation. Following this ruling, 70 inmates, including Charles Manson, had their sen-tences changed to other than death.

Capital Punishment ReinstatedThe California State Legislature re-enacted the death penalty statute in 1977. Under the new statute, evidence in mitigation was permitted.

The death penalty was reinstated as a pos-sible punishment for first-degree murder under certain conditions. These “special circumstances” include: murder for finan-cial gain, murder by a person previously convicted of murder, murder of multiple victims, murder with torture, murder of a peace officer, murder of a witness to pre-vent testimony and several other murders under particular circumstances.

In 1977, the Penal Code also was revised to include the sentence of life imprison-ment without the possibility of parole. At that time, the punishment for kidnapping

2013 Lexus 350 ES: Bigger and BetterIt is difficult to provide an objective view of a Lexus product when your garage is full of them. We bought one of the first LS sedans, traded it for one of the first RX crossovers, and have a GS, another RX, and a ES in the family as well. The overarching reason for this is the quality of the product and cus-tomer service. The downside is the cost. On the upside is higher resale. So how does the 2013 new look Lexus ES 350 compare? Well, more of everything, especially tech-nology.

First of all, the exterior look is very dif-ferent. You won’t’ have any trouble finding your ES in a parking lot filled with its older siblings. The car is slightly longer and the front end is totally different. Lexus calls it a “spindle grille. “ We don’t know what to call it. The better news is that the ES is no longer built on a Camry base, but on the

longer Avalon one and the result is a much larger interior. Indeed this ES is unlike any that has gone before. It feels like a full-on luxury sedan with plenty of room, ameni-ties and atmosphere.

Mom’s view: I hate Lexus. They always seem to know how to push my buttons and the new ES is no exception. It does everything well and the ergonomics were perfect for me. Everything was where it was supposed to be. Thank goodness we don’t have room for anymore in our garage. The interior is modern with wood trim and there is leat-er nearly everywhere. The dash is a work of art and the gauges are easy to read day or night. Every time you sit in this ES you are going to know what your money went for and that is before you even press the start button. Lexus also mastered the complicat-ed selection process for vehicle informa-

tion such as miles to empty, temperature settings, and traffic information. It uses a joy stick that enables you to quickly navigate through a variety of information. It does require a short learning curve and some dexterity. Safety wise the ES has ten air-bags and systems that help detect vehicles in side blind spots, such as when backing out of a parking spot. There is also available Lane Departure Alert integrated and Pre-Collision System that uses radar to detect obstructions and prepare the vehicle for a potential collision. We are talking cocoon here. This would be a great car for those who want to drive something luxurious and yet practical for a family.

Dad’s view: The ES350’s 3.5-liter V-6 pro-duces 268 horsepower and is smooth and plenty fast for what it is, especially consid-ering it has a 21/31 mpg rating. We record-

ed 25 mpg in mixed driving. Although this isn’t a car designed to carve canyons, the steering is fairly quick, although feedback is muted. You have a choice of eco, nor-mal, and sport settings that helps alter the throttle and steering response accordingly. Eco worked fine for us, but most people will use the sport setting as it sharpens the car’s reflexes. The suspension is now oriented more to that of a driver’s car. An ideal car to take to Las Vegas or to Yosem-ite as different terrains and challenges don’t appear to upset it. A very reassuring sedan, but certainly not to be confused with an Audi or BMW.

Young working male’s view: I own an ES and this makes mine seem like it belongs on a different planet. This is truly a luxury car and the pricing is very attractive. What I especially liked was the Lexus Enform program that provides connectivity with the Internet. Even the standard Lexus Pre-mium Sound System features eight speak-ers, USB/iPod connectivity, Bluetooth and a Sirius XM receiver. The optional Display Audio package adds a seven-inch screen, a backup camera, HD Radio with iTunes, phone transfer, and a vehicle information display. You can upgrade to a 15-speaker

Mark Levinson audio that comes with an eight-inch display screen among other fea-tures. With all this technology and the well proven drivetrain I would have to call this Lexus a comfort giver. The ride, interior ap-pointments, and audio features are meant to soothe. Well worth it.

Young working woman’s view: First of all this ES is not going to get you a prime va-let parking spot. It also isn’t going to make your boss nervous that she is paying you too much. Above all, it isn’t going to irritate you. I quite liked it, but you have to drive this ES a while to appreciate its qualities. Everything from the heated and cooled seats, to the generous trunk and rear shade are all attributes that once were claimed by Lexus LS flagship. Thus the ES 350 is no longer a near luxury sedan. It is a full on luxury sedan.

Family conference: Lexus is also bringing out an ES 300h hybrid with gas mileage estimated in the 40 mpg range, but if you don’t commute in traffic daily the ES 350 is a better choice. The bar has been raised with this model and Lexus is well aware that this best seller needs to keep its audi-ence. To that end they have again offered

more for less, the reason that we started buying these vehicles 25 years ago and have never been disappointed.

Do You Need Urgent Care or the Emergency Room?

If your child sprains their ankle during a weekend soccer game, should you go to the emergency room? Can an ur-gent care center treat a burn or an accidental poisoning? When accidents and illnesses arise, finding the best level of care for your needs can be tricky.When you need sudden medical care, where should you go? To receive medical attention that is most appropriate for your type of injury, utilize the following general guide-lines.

Go to the Emergency Room:If you have a serious condition, such as a suspected stroke, heart attack, severe bleeding, head injury, or other major trauma, go straight to the nearest ER. Don’t take a chance with anything life-threatening. In gen-

eral, the following conditions should be evaluated in an Emergency Department: •Deepcutsorbleedingthatwon’tstop •Largebonefractures •Problemsrelatedtopregnancy •Knifeorgunshotwounds •Coughingorvomitingblood •Chestpain •Suspectedstrokeorheartattack •Difficultybreathing •Severeburns •Lossofconsciousness •Seizures •Severeabdominalpain •Moderatetosevereasthma

When an Urgent Care Center can better meet your needs:If you have any of the conditions above, the emergency de-partment is your only option. But if your condition is less serious, urgent care centers can save you time and money and can help keep the local emergency room free to handle more serious situations.

Examples of conditions that can easily be treated at an ur-gent care center include: •Allergicreactions •Mildasthma •Minorfractures(fingers,toes) •Minorburns •Minorcuts •Urinarytractinfections •Dehydration •Earachesandinfections

•Rashesandbumps •Sprainsandstrains •Sorethroats •Vomiting

Urgent care centers should be viewed as a complement to yourprimaryphysician’soffice. Mosturgent carecentersaccept walk-ins, are open on weekends, and offer extended hours during weekdays when your physician’s office may havealreadyclosed.Manyalsohaveradiology(x-ray)andlab services on site so tests can be performed while you wait. You will be given the results before you leave, and they will also be sent to your primary care physician for follow-up.

The urgent care can also be a convenient option for turn-key medical needs such as tetanus shots, immunizations, and sports physicals for high school athletes. When in doubt, call ahead. If the urgent care can’t diagnose or treat your condition properly, they will advise you to go to the emergency room.

and unnecessary risk that an inmate will suffer pain so extreme that it offends the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

On July 30, 2010, after a few corrections in the proposed CDCR regulations, the OAL notified CDCR that it had approved and certified for adoption the regulations for lethal injection. The rulemaking record was filed with the Secretary of State the same day. August 29, 2010 is the permanent ef-fective date of the regulations.

Is the Death Penalty Broke? One has to wonder if the death penalty is actually acting as a deterrent to crime when more people die from natural causes or suicide than the meeting with the ex-ecutioner imposed by the judge and jury. You decide.

Death by Execution: 13Death by Natural Causes: 57Death by Suicide: 20Other 6 Non-Execution Deaths: 83Total Deaths: 97

February 23, 1996: Serial killer William George BONIN, convicted of sexually as-saulting and killing 14 boys in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, was the first Cali-

overcrowded conditions, and poorly de-signed facilities in which the execution team must work.

The Governor immediately directed CDCR to undertake a thorough review of all aspects of its lethal injection protocols. CDCR informed the court it would under-take a thorough review and submit to the Court by May 15, 2007 a revised process. On May 15, 2007 CDCR released a report to the Court proposing revisions to the le-thal injection protocol. In order to address the Court’s concerns and improve the le-thal injection protocol, the State:

• Established a screening process for se-lection of execution team members. • Established a comprehensive training program for all execution team members. The training regimen focused on custody and care of the condemned inmate, the in-fusion process, intravenous application and vein access, characteristics and effects of each chemical used in the process, proper preparation and mixing of chemicals, the security of the lethal injection facility, prop-er record keeping and other areas.• Developed standardized record keeping to ensure there are complete and reliable records of each execution. • Developed training processes for the proper use of sodium thiopental. Training processes were developed for proper mix-ing, preparation and administration of so-dium thiopental.• Recommended improvements to the le-thal injection facility at San Quentin State Prison, including steps to ensure adequate equipment, lighting and space. Current law requires that all executions be conducted within the walls of San Quentin State Pris-on. In 2007, a lethal injection facility was constructed to address the U.S. District Court’s concerns.• Proposed revisions to the lethal injection protocol. The revised protocol will ensure the procedure does not create an undue

February 21, 2006: Condemned inmate Mi-chael Angelo Morales’ execution is stayed because of his claim that California’s ad-ministration of its lethal injection protocol violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibi-tion of cruel and unusual punishment.

December 15, 2006: The U.S. District Court held that California’s lethal-injection protocol as administered created a risk that an inmate will suffer pain and so vio-lated the Eighth Amendment.

January 16, 2007: The Governor directed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to undertake a thorough review of all aspects of its lethal injection protocols. CDCR informed the Court it would undertake a review and on May 15, 2007, filed a revised protocol with the Court.

November 29, 2007: The Marin County Su-perior Court held that the Administrative Procedure Act required CDCR to promul-gate the protocol as a regulation.

May 1, 2009: CDCR posted the notice of the proposed lethal injection regulations in the Office of Administrative Law Register, thus beginning the public comment period.

July 30, 2010: The Office of Administrative Law approved and certified for adoption the regulations for lethal injection.

August 29, 2010: The permanent effective date of the regulations.

Ideas for flooring in your home

Your home is your paradise and if you are planning to renovate your home, go for the changes that are not only eye catchy, but also comfortable for you and your family. Re-modeling of a home is associated with revolutions and amendments adjusted in every nook and cranny of the home. If you are going to change the flooring of your home there are some tips for flooring of different parts of your house.

Bedroom flooring:

There are plenty of options when it comes to flooring in your bedroom. Being the most private and personalized part of your home, your bedroom is the place which grabs a big part of your budget whenever you are remodeling your home. You can use carpet, tile, hardwood, bamboo, cork or laminate. Play with different materials in different rooms. You can opt for striped light and dark shades in your boy’s room so that if your son is going to create mess, which is unavoidable, the flooring can withstand the burden. Also pick flooring that can bear heavy traffic for the folks coming in and out the bedroom. For more powerful scratch and water resistant flooring you can choose laminate.

Living room flooring:

It is the most used area of your house that withstands a great deal of walking traffic. It is highly recommended that the flooring should be strong enough that it can endure all amendments done with your furniture or endure the increasing and decreasing ratio of visitors. For this purpose you can opt for hardwood flooring. Being a classy and sophisti-cated look, it is the perfect choice for your living room whenever you are remodeling your home.

Tips for remodeling your Floor

35

Kitchen flooring:

Design the floor of your kitchen in such a way that it not only looks pretty, but also gives a practical im-pression. You can choose from vinyl, tile, natural stone, wood, cork or laminate. A floor covering that is water resistant and durable, such as tile, is a best choice to protect against potential water damage. Make sure when you choose your floor to order a little extra of the product in the event that you drop some-thing like a pot on your floor. If the flooring material is damaged, you will be sure to have enough to re-pair the floor because often floor manufacturers have high turnover of their products to insure a continual buying cycle. Most flooring contractors add 5-10% additional square footage of the flooring product to their purchase order to insure they have enough for the project and to provide the client with a little extra flooring for future use.

Now that you have some ideas as to what kind of flooring you can use throughout your house, you can take the next step in your remodeling project. Be sure to shop around to find the best retailer that will fit your needs and make your vision come to fruition.
