Results will help City leaders determine future priorities and communityengagement efforts

By Olivia Applegate

Eastvale– The City’s inau-gural Community Satisfaction Study shows that residents are highly satisfied with the quality of life in Eastvale and say it is an excellent place to raise a family.

The overwhelmingly posi-tive results of the survey were received by the City Council at a special meeting on Wednes-day, February 27, 2019. The random sampling of 1,178 res-idents gathered opinions on issues such as transportation, development, public safety, and the effectiveness of City communications.

“Thank you to our residents for providing valuable input regarding our city in the Com-munication Satisfaction Study,” Mayor Todd Rigby said. “We are pleased with how satisfied our residents are with our City and the services we provide, but we are not complacent with the results. The positive feed-back we received symbolizes how well we work together as a team with our City staff, City Council, Law Enforcement, Fire Department, developers, businesses, and most impor-tantly, our residents; all taking an active part in this success. We will use this information to address future planning, fund-ing opportunities, and outreach in Eastvale as we continue to improve our city. We know and understand that our residents desire a better dining experi-ence and are actively working to bring this to our communi-

ty. Your voice matters, and we welcome your continued feed-back, always.”

Among the findings:

• 90% of residents give Eastvale high scores for quality of life and as a place to raise a family.

• 82% are satisfied with City services such as park maintenance, fire protection, emergency medical services, and community events.

• A majority say City staff are professional, accessible, and helpful.

• 71% say Eastvale’s top funding priority should be main-taining local streets, improving intersections, and synchroniz-ing traffic signals.

• City-to-resident com-munication and engagement is strong; most residents would like to see a smartphone app that allows them to report is-

sues, receive updates, etc.• 35% of respondents

say they long for more dining and shopping options.

The independent survey was conducted by True North Re-search Inc. of Encinitas, Ca-lif., from January 19 through February 4. Participants were recruited via mail, email, and phone, and the data was col-lected online and by telephone, in English, Spanish, and Man-darin Chinese.

“The intention of this survey was to give residents a voice in City government and we would like to thank everyone who par-ticipated in the study,” City Man-ager Bryan Jones said. “Un-derstanding residents’ interests, concerns, and needs will help us accomplish the priority goals identified in the City’s strategic plan and exceed Eastvale’s ex-pectations every day.” ■

VantagePoint Church to Host Annual Easter Egg HuntStaff Reports

Eastvale – For the eleventh consecutive year, a popular springtime event will be returning to Eastvale.

On Saturday, April 13 2018, VantagePoint Church will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Roosevelt High School Football Stadium. The celebration will take place between 9 a.m. and 12 Noon.

Easter egg hunts for children of all ages will be held throughout the day, including special senso-ry hunts for children with special needs. Children with special needs will also be given front of the line wristbands and will have a special designated event en-trance.

“This fun-filled event has al-ways drawn a large crowd and every year the attendance in-creases,” said Monique Wh-ritenour, Director of Operations

for VantagePoint Church. “In an effort to build upon our success and better serve our community, we added a few new features that would enable children of all ages and backgrounds to have access to the many fun activities.”

In addition to the Easter egg hunts, the event will also include games with prizes, giant inflat-able obstacle courses, raffles, and pictures with the Easter Bun-

ny, Belle, Princess Aurora, Spi-der Man, Kylo Ren and Star War Characters.

This year they’ll have a Free Raffle for a Stay at the Great Wolf Lodge.

Admission to the event and all of its activities is free. Food will be available for purchase.

While the entire community is invited to attend, Whritenour be-

lieves that families with children ages 12 and under will find it es-pecially enjoyable.

“The 11th Annual Vantage-Point Church Easter Egg Hunt will provide a wonderful oppor-tunity for Eastvale families to get to know their neighbors, while providing their children with a positive and fun experience,” she said. “Of course, our goal is always to show the community Christ’s love. We ask for nothing in return.”

They will have Accommoda-tions for Children with Special Needs like: Short Lines for Event Entrance, Front of the Line Wrist-bands, and Sensory Friendly Easter EGG Hunt! Look for the Sign at the Entrance that says, “Special Needs.”

Roosevelt High School is locat-ed at 7447 Scholar Way in East-vale, Calif. For more information regarding VantagePoint Church or the annual Easter Egg Hunt, call (909) 465-9700 x700 or visit www.vantagepointchurch.org. ■

nized as the 12th safest city in California! As the City Council and I met last year, we decided to continue with having Public Safety as a top priority in our strategic plan,” Mayor Todd Rig-by said. “We have and continue to make significant investments in public safety to include Au-tomated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Cameras, the Street Light Acquisition, our Neigh-borhood Watch Program, ad-ditional Motorcycle Officer, and additional patrol hours to name a few. As these investments are implemented, we hope to con-tinue to rise on that list of safest cities in the state. We are send-ing a loud message to criminals and our residents, that East-vale will continue to invest in our community to protect and keep our residents safe.”

The City of Eastvale would like to remind its residents and businesses to be vigilant by re-porting suspicious and criminal activity as soon as it is seen

to the Eastvale Police Depart-ment. If you see something, say something. Maintaining a safe environment is a team ef-fort and city is grateful for their team that is made up of our Eastvale Police Department, residents, businesses, and partnering agencies. Together, they’re the best.

Love and Money: 8 Tips for Couples to Improve their FinancesBy StatePoint

When love and romance are in the air, talking about financ-es may be the last thing on one’s mind. However, experts say that regular conversations about money are essential for healthy finances and healthy relationships.

Unfortunately, 47 percent of Americans say their spend-ing equals or exceeds their in-come, and 45 percent do not have enough savings to cover at least three months’ worth of living expenses, according to a 2018 study by the Center for Fi-nancial Services Innovation. To help you and your partner get the conversation started and get your finances on track, the professionals at Wells Fargo are offering eight tips:

1. Pay yourself first: With each paycheck, set aside some income for savings -- about 5 to 10 percent is a good tar-get. Whether it’s for a rainy-day fund or the downpayment of a house, you and your partner can discuss how to prioritize

savings for the greatest impact. This may also be a good time to discuss whether it makes more sense to have a joint account or retain individual savings ac-counts.

2. Track your spending: Do you know where your money is going each month? Online tools and apps make tracking easier than ever before, helping you gain insights into your individ-ual and combined spending habits so you can adjust where necessary.

3. Create a safety net: Do you have emergency savings that would cover three to six months’ worth of expenses? This is a basic measure of fi-nancial security that you and your partner can work on build-ing together.

4. Pay down your high-inter-est debt: Honest conversations about debt can be especial-ly hard for many couples. But transparency is not only ethical, it can serve as the first step to confronting the issue head-on. To tackle debt proactively and save money in the long run, it

helps to be strategic, starting with the highest-interest debt that’s costing you the most first.

5. Pay on time, every time. If you’re like many couples, you have dreams for your future. Paying bills on time will im-prove and maintain your credit score, which will open the door for greater financial opportuni-

ties down the line and help you make these dreams a reality.

6. Know where your credit stands: Check your free credit report annually and spot trends.

7. Review your insurance annually: Protect what counts, by checking your coverage an-nually and making updates to your policies as your circum-stances change (i.e. you get married, buy a home, have chil-dren, etc.).

8. Save for a better retire-ment: Save at least 10 percent of your income each year for a more comfortable retirement. More tips and financial resourc-es can be found by visiting www.wellsfargo.com.

Bottom line: while it’s not always easy to address finan-cial matters, doing so can save your relationship headache and heartache down the line. ■

6 Tips from Doctors for a Healthier HeartBy Statepoint

February is American Heart Month, and an excellent remind-er that there are many easy steps you can take to improve your heart health.

Unfortunately, nearly half of all U.S. adults are living with high blood pressure, putting them at an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, according to the American Medical Association (AMA).

“During American Heart Month, we urge all Americans to take control of their heart health by knowing and monitoring their blood pressure levels and making healthy lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce the serious health consequences associated with high blood pressure,” says Barbara L. McAneny, M.D., pres-ident of the AMA. “We know that by empowering more patients to monitor and control their blood pressure, we will continue to help improve the health of patients, while reducing health care costs.”

To help you get started, Dr. McAneny and the experts at the AMA are offering six tips for this American Heart Month and be-yond.

1. Know your blood pressure numbers. Visit LowerYourHBP.

org. The site contains tools, re-sources and information for both patients and physicians, and was launched by the AMA as part of an effort to reduce the number of Americans who have heart attacks and strokes each year. Having a better understanding of your numbers and taking neces-sary steps to get your high blood pressure, also known as hyper-tension, under control will reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.

2. Commit to manage high blood pressure. Work with your doctor to create an individual-ized treatment plan that includes healthy lifestyle changes that you can realistically stick to long-term to help you maintain a lower blood pressure and lower your risk for negative health consequences.

3. Be more physically active. Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure. It is recommend-ed that healthy adults 18 to 65 years of age get at least 150 min-utes a week of moderate-intensity activity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity.

4. Eat a healthy diet. Making simple dietary changes can help you manage or prevent high blood pressure. These changes should include eating less sodi-

um, reducing the amount of pack-aged and processed foods you consume (especially those with added sodium and sugar), reduc-ing consumption of sugar-sweet-ened beverages and eating foods that are rich in potassium.

5. Maintain or achieve a healthy weight. Being overweight can put you at an increased risk for de-

veloping high blood pressure. Take steps to maintain a healthy weight.

6. Drink in moderation. When consuming alcohol, do so in mod-eration as defined by the U.S. Di-etary Guidelines for Americans -- up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, and only by adults of legal drink-

ing age.American Heart Month

serves as an important remind-er that living a heart-healthy lifestyle is possible. By paying attention to risk factors like your blood pressure, weight and more, you can reduce your risk for heart disease. ■

A Skunk in the Church

Are You Worthy of Imitating?

PASTOR’S CORNER

By Pastor Rob Norris

His delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.

Psalm 1:2As parents, we need to think

about the priorities we are teaching our children by our words and our actions. Ask yourself, If I could pass on my relationship with God to my kids, would they be satisfied with what they receive? If my children could never experi-ence anything more than what I have today, would they be giv-en enough to navigate them-selves successfully through life? Would they experience God? One thing I have learned is that your children will listen to what you say, and they will do what you tell them, but they will

become who you are. If your daily experience with Christ is less than you want your chil-dren to possess, they probably won't ever have it either.

Your model should be the man in Psalm 1--the one whose "delight" is in spending time with God and His Word (verse 2). The one who "meditates" on the things of God through the ins and outs of the day. The one who keeps him- or her-self "firmly planted" by those "streams of water" (verse 3).

Live ItShare honestly those things

that are distracting you right now from your relationship with Christ. How are you showing your children the reality of truly walking with Jesus Christ?

Meeting @ 10:00 at River Heights Intermediate School 7227 Scholar Way, Eastvale CA. Trusting and believing with you, Pastor Rob ■

By Mark Hopper D i a m o n d

Bar, Califor-nia was a cat-tle ranch for many years. It has an in-

teresting history dating back to Mexican land grants and a variety of owners. Our church is built on the site where the original ranch house stood. In the 1960’s, Transamerica Cor-poration bought the ranch and developed it into a beautiful master planned community.

Although Diamond Bar does not look like a cattle ranch to-day, there are some other res-idents who still call it home. In the past we have seen deer on the hillside east of our house. We have seen coyotes trotting down our street. And, we have seen skunks and raccoons.

Our church property used to have some undeveloped land

behind the first building. Hawks built nests in the tall pine trees and skunks were seen from time to time.

One day before a Sunday church service a child ap-proached me with an urgent message. He said there was a skunk in the church! At first I thought he was kidding, but when several of us investigated we found a skunk lying in the return air duct that ran under the floor. We could clearly see him but we weren’t sure if he was dead or asleep.

What should we do? Should we evacuate the building or just wait and deal with the skunk af-ter the service? We decided to wait and not say anything so we wouldn’t cause a panic and risk waking him up. The service ended without incident. After people left, a friend helped me investigate. We realized the skunk was dead. We removed him and buried him in the land

behind the church.Apparently he had found

his way into the furnace room which had a fresh air grill to the outside. He must have climbed into the return air duct, slid down under the floor and was unable to get back out. We don’t know how long he was there. We actually saw two oth-er skunks on the property that morning. They were probably looking for their lost friend who had disappeared in the church furnace room.

As a pastor, I like to think that everyone is welcome at our church. We encourage friends and guests to attend our ser-vices. But, we may need to post a new sign, “No Skunks Allowed”!

This article was written by Pas-tor Mark Hopper of Efree Church of Diamond Bar. Sunday Services are held at 9:00 am & 10:45 am at 3255 South Diamond Bar Blvd. You can contact the church at 909.594.7604 or visit them on-line at Efreedb.org ■

Kickin’ Crispy Honey Chicken

By Hello Fresh

Cooking Time: 35 minsServings: 4Nutrition: 630 CaloriesIngredients:

•Butter- 2 tbsp•Olive Oil- 2 tsp•Vegetable Oil- for frying•Brussels Sprouts- 16 oz•Sweet Potatoes- 4•Chili Peppers- 2•Sour Cream- 8 tbsp•Panko Breadcrumbs- 1

cup

•Blackening Spice- 2 tbsp•Chicken Cutlets- 20 oz•Honey- 2 tbsp

1 PREP. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on upper rack and preheat oven to 425 de-grees. Wash and dry all pro-duce. Trim and halve Brus-sels sprouts. Dice sweet potatoes into ½ inch cubes. Thinly slice chilies, removing ribs and seeds for less heat.

2 COOK SWEET POTA-

TOES. Place sweet po-tatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cov-er by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thorough-ly and return to pot. Using a potato masher or fork, mash with 2 TBSP butter and half the sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Keep covered until ready to serve.

3 ROAST BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Meanwhile, toss Brussels sprouts on pre-heated baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange cut sides down and roast until browned and ten-der, 20-25 minutes.

4 BREAD CHICKEN. Place panko in a shallow dish or bowl; season with salt, pepper, and half the Black-ening Spice. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and remain-ing Blackening Spice, then brush evenly with remaining sour cream. Working in batch-es, coat chicken in panko mix-ture, pressing to adhere. Heat a ¼-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one).

with Mashed Sweet Pota-toes and Roasted Brus-sels Sprouts

5 COOK CHICKEN. Once oil is hot, add chicken to pan (working in batches if neces-sary), reduce heat to medium, and cook until golden brown, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.

6 SERVE. Divide Brus-sels sprouts and sweet pota-toes between plates. Top with chicken. Drizzle chicken with honey. Garnish with chilies (to taste—they’re spicy). ■

The CrossBy Pastor Dennis Morales

“Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood

still…” Luke 7:14 There is no arguing that

one of the most painful occur-rences in life is losing a loved one. Jesus came upon a wid-ow who had just lost her only son. . According to old Jew-ish custom, the women would precede a funeral procession because women were believed to have brought death into the

world in the line of Eve. This widow would be the first person He would see and He looked at her with compassion (Luke 7:13). It was custom for family members and friends to come and touch the coffin, which would halt the procession, and say a few words of comfort to the survived. Then the proces-sion would continue. According to custom, Jesus stood at the procession and touched the coffin. Jesus tells the woman “do not weep.” He then tells the young man in the coffin to “get up.” “So that he who was dead sat up and began to speak” (Luke 7:15). What Jesus did was unprecedented. Under normal circumstances the fu-neral procession would have

continued. But when Jesus stopped the funeral procession, and it never continued! Jesus essentially stopped death in its tracks. This is what Jesus has done for all mankind through the Cross. He has halted the effect of sin and eternal death upon all those who believe in Him (Jn 3:16). Jesus’ death on the Cross defeated sin and He further punctuates this by His Rising from the dead. In this is the Easter message. (1 Corin-thians 15:21-22, 55-57)

Autism MomGod Sends Us Angels

By Melody Kraemer

God puts angels in our lives, and we call them friends. The oth-er day had been rough. I had been sick for days and trying to hold it together with my autistic boys. It was a day where everything just seemed to go wrong. It could have been the fact I was just so sick.

We moms know, life doesn't stop because we are ill. All we can hope for is the kids will be good and go down early for bed. Though more often than not that’s not the case.

I was exhausted from going to the doctor's and I was so worn down. My youngest came home from school and had meltdown af-ter meltdown. One of the tantrums lasted forty-five minutes. I was screamed at and yelled at. My pa-tience was running thin and I was about to throw in the towel and say I can't do this anymore. Then I re-

ceived a text message.It was a friend of mine, an angel

sent from God, saying she was on her way over to drop something off. The doorbell rang and there she stood. It could have been all the cold medicine I was on, but I think I actually saw a heavenly glow around her. She was holding a pizza for my boys and chicken soup and Starbuck's tea for me. I had no words. I wanted to give her a big hug but I knew I couldn't pass my germs on. Instead, I got teary-eyed and cried. I was feeling so blessed.

I was so thankful and I thanked the heavens above. A light had come into my darkness and I knew God was taking care of me. Just a reminder to all of you, don't give up. You will always have angels around you.

and the active participation of residents in the Neighborhood Watch Program.

Additional Motorcycle Of-ficer and Additional Patrol Hours

The Eastvale City Council heard the community’s desire for increased public safety and in February 2018, they ap-proved an additional Motorcy-cle Officer position to enhance the safety of their roadways. Most recently, they welcomed their second Eastvale Police Department Motorcycle Of-ficer, Deputy Lionel Murphy, who will be joining their cur-rent Motorcycle Officer, Dep-uty Paul Lonthair, in keeping Eastvale’s streets safe through enforcement. City Council also approved 10 additional patrol hours, which equates to two additional deputies and are anticipated to come in the next year.

The City Council would like to welcome their new Motor-cycle Officer, Deputy Lionel Murphy to the Eastvale Police Department family. They are confident that the addition of Deputy Murphy will help reduce the number of traffic collisions and increase the overall safety of the city.

ALPR (Automated License Plate Reader) Program

The City Council believes advancements in technology is one of the most crucial parts of public safety. The City of Eastvale is in the process of implementing an ALPR (Auto-mated License Plate Reader) Program. ALPR cameras will be installed on patrol vehicles as well as various entry and exit points to the city. This tool will help the Police Department combat and deter crime, assist with investigations, and help identify wanted vehicles.

Streetlight Acquisition

They also believe that in-creased visibility through light-ing is another important part of safety and they were pleased to announce that the City of Eastvale purchased 4,078 streetlights located within city limits from Southern Califor-nia Edison (SCE). Previously, these streetlights were owned by SCE and maintained by the Jurupa Community Services District. With the partnership of the Western Riverside Coun-cil of Governments, the City of Eastvale will acquire all eli-gible streetlights in Eastvale. As part of the acquisition, the City looks forward to retrofit-ting each streetlight with Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures; an environmentally friendly al-ternative to traditional lighting. LED lights align with the City’s strategic goal to enhance public safety by using less energy and producing a more natural light on street surfaces. Acquisition of these street lights will also serve as a revenue stream for the City of Eastvale while they bring better cell phone and in-ternet carrier service to the city.

Neighborhood Watch Pro-gram

The city knows that com-munity safety cannot be fully achieved without the help from their community and East-vale is the only city in the na-tion to have every residential neighborhood engaged in the Neighborhood Watch Program. In 2017, Mayor Todd Rigby, Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Plott, and community member, Don Pettinger began the imple-mentation of the Neighborhood Watch Program in an effort to bring residents together to help combat and deter crime in their neighborhoods.

Today, all twenty-nine neigh-borhoods in Eastvale have Neighborhood Watch Groups established, there is a total of 60 Block Captains who meet

quarterly, and every neighbor-hood entry and exit have Neigh-borhood Watch signs installed. Social media has played a key piece to the Neighborhood Watch Program and residents have shared valuable infor-mation through the “Eastvale Crime Watch & Reporting” Facebook page. In addition to communicating through social media, Neighborhood Watch Meetings take place through-out the year and have approx-imately sixty-five residents in attendance on average.

“On behalf of the Eastvale Police Department, I would like to thank the community for their continued support and for shar-ing valuable information with us, which has led to the imme-diate apprehension of several suspects,” Chief Tim Martin said.

The significant decrease in mail thefts was the first of many success stories that the Neigh-borhood Watch Program expe-rienced. With the increase of communication and residents implementing crime preven-tion measures to their homes, the average mail thefts report-ed per month decreased from twenty-six in 2017 to six in 2018.

Camera Database ProgramOne of the other successes

the Neighborhood Watch Pro-gram has had is their camera database program which allow residents to input their surveil-lance system information in a database for law enforcement access. Approximately ten dif-ferent arrests have been made with the help of this database in place. This program truly shows the amount of pride resi-dents have for the city they live in and that they are passionate about being a part of enhanc-ing safety in their community. Residents can share their sur-veillance system information to be included in this database

by visiting: http://bit.ly/eastvale-cameradatabase.

Proactive EnforcementLastly, the safety in the com-

munity would not be possible without the continued proactive efforts made by the Eastvale Police Department. Eastvale’s Special Enforcement Team (SET) and the Marijuana Erad-ication Team (MET) was rec-ognized for an award recent-ly received by the California Narcotics Officers Association for outstanding Quality of Life Investigations involving in-door marijuana grow houses. Council members & residents are incredibly grateful for the deputies who serve their city every day to keep them safe and maintain the quality of life in Eastvale.

To address aggressive so-licitation, City Council adopted an “Aggressive Solicitation” or-dinance on May 2018 and also installed “It’s Ok To Say No To Panhandling” signs throughout the City. They want residents to feel comfortable enjoying the community and the aggressive solicitation ordinance seeks to enhance resident safety by prohibiting solicitation in an aggressive manner. This ordi-nance allows deputies to re-spond to incidents of solicita-tion that either put the person being asked for money in dan-ger or are done in such a man-ner to make an individual feel as if they have no choice but to donate money.

“As a community, it is import-ant for us to partner together in achieving a safer city,” Mayor Todd Rigby said. “With the resi-dents embracing the Neighbor-hood Watch Program, the City installing new technology, and the Police Department increas-ing patrol hours and adding an additional Motorcycle Officer, we are seeing the results of a

safer community. I look forward to the continued involvement of our community in being com-mitted to keeping our residents, businesses, and visitors safe in our city.”

“Together, we can send a message that Eastvale has cre-ated a multiprong approach of preventing and solving crime to enhance the quality of life and safety,” City Manager Bryan Jones said. “I am confident that all of us in Eastvale will contin-ue to collaboratively invest our time and energy in resources to elevate community safety. We all deserve the opportuni-ty to thrive in the place we call home!”

The City of Eastvale would like to remind its residents and businesses to be vigilant by re-porting suspicious and criminal activity, as soon as it’s seen, to the Eastvale Police Depart-ment. If you see something, say something. Maintaining a safe environment is a team effort and the city council is grateful for their team made up of the Eastvale Police Depart-ment, residents, businesses, and partnering agencies. They are best together. ■
