The fire was quickly brought under control and contained to the area of origin with minimal fire extension to the attic. Two bedrooms sustained smoke dam-age.

The cause of the fire appears to be a candle left burning on a

cabinet in an upstairs hallway. The owner was home at the time of the fire, and self-evacuated prior to firefighter arrival after be-ing alerted to the fire by a working smoke alarm in the home. This incident might have had a very different outcome if the smoke alarm was not in proper working

did You Know?By K.p. SandeR

Although the Revolutionary War officially ended in 1782, the last battle came to pass with surrender on Oct. 19, 1781, 233 years ago.

The Battle of Yorktown, which began on Oct. 6 of that year, when British General, Charles Cornwallis, moved his troops to Virginia to take over the command from loyalist, General Benedict Arnold. He found the troops low on reinforcements and supplies.

At the same time, General George Washington was moving to attack New York with the help of the French – who were convinced to help by Benjamin Franklin. Cornwal-lis was ordered to bring all 7,500 of

his troops to New York, but he did not obey, staying in Yorktown (now Williamsburg, VA).

On Oct. 6, General Washington’s Continental Army attacked Cornwal-lis with over 16,000 men, including the French, and the American colo-nists and militia. The Continental Army persevered, and then on Oct. 17, the British sent a fleet from New York to assist Cornwallis, but it was too late. The British were outnumbered and out of supplies and food.

A letter was delivered to Cornwal-lis from General Washington, stating that he wanted to stop the “useless effusion of blood.” Realizing there was no hope for his troops, Cornwal-lis replied with this letter below:

By Michael aRMijo

Is Social Media really Anti-Social Media? With the advent of “smart-phones” our commu-nication styles have perhaps become less intelligent. With everything from a lack of actual conversation to cyber bullying, Social Media may be ruining many lives.

Social Media is the apple, and we are Adam and Eve. With it, we’ve tasted the truth; we’ve been empowered. do we think we are God-like, making our own rules; defying purity; defying morality? Were we ever emo-tionally equipped for the rapid advancement of the Facebooks, Twitters and Instagrams of this world?

Just A Thought…There are now consequences

for what we believe is accept-able, according to what the majority of a ‘conversational’ thread dictates. It is sad that our individuality is being convoluted by our need – our greed – to be accepted, loved, and “liked”.

Our need to feel right socially has become our weakness. God said the beast will try and destroy

us; could the “beast” be technol-ogy? “It” is surely behind this weakness, encouraging some with immorality and introversion. Man created technology, not God. And with this obsessive socialism of technology, could man be unknowingly destroying man? Are we so ‘social’ that we are missing out on society?

Just a thought…

York in Virginia,17th October 1781, 1/2 Past 4 P.M.

Sir,I have this moment been honoured with your Excellency’s

letter dated this day.The time limited for sending my answer will not admit of en-

tering into the detail of Articles, but the basis of my proposals will be that the Garrisons of York and Gloucester shall be prisoners of War with the customary honours, and for the convenience of the individuals which I have the honour to command, that the British shall be sent to Britain and the Germans to Germany, under engagement not to serve against France, America or their Allies untill released or regularly exchanged, that all Arms and publick stores shall be delivered up to you, but that the usual in-dulgence of side arms to Officers and of retaining private property shall be granted to Officers & Soldiers, and that the interests of several individuals in Civil Capacities & connected with us, shall be attended to. If Your Excellency thinks that a continuance of the suspension of hostilities will be necessary to transmit your answer I shall have no objection to the hour that you propose. I have the honor to be,

Your most obedient & most humble servant,Cornwallis

• Make sure hemlines are short enough to prevent tripping or con-tact with flame.

• do not allow children to carry sharp sticks or other objects that could cause injury.

• Use light-colored material and reflective tape on costumes for maximum visibility.

• Plan a well-lit route for young children to use while trick-or-treat-ing. Return home early.

• Closely inspect all candy before allowing children to eat it. discard any unwrapped treats from a stranger. If in doubt, throw it out.

Safety tips for Adults:• Have non-alcoholic drinks

available for guests if you have a party at your house.

• Arrange for a designated

driver for those who are drinking alcohol.

• Take the keys from anyone that may be drinking.

• Never serve alcohol to individ-uals less than 21 years of age.

Safety tips for Motorists:• Be aware of children darting

out between parked vehicles.• do not pass other vehicles that

order. The Chino Valley Fire district

states that this type of fire can be prevented by following these safety rules:

• Always keep a burning candle within sight.

• Never burn candles on or near

anything that can catch fire.• Always keep burning candles

out of the reach of children and pets.

• Never use candles as a source of heat.

• Always use an appropriate candleholder and place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

• Always extinguish all candles when leaving the house, room of use, or when going to bed.

• Always ensure that you have smoke alarms correctly installed and that they are in good work-ing order.

The closure of Lanterman development Center

residents. According to their website, the

mission of the LdC has always been to provide the highest quality services and supports to people with developmental disabilities who require concentrated health care and/or training to develop skills in which to enhance their in-dependence - developing people’s highest potentials.

Once home to a multitude of individuals with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, down’s syndrome, au-tism, and other lifelong severe mental conditions, the LdC strived to provide the utmost in care ac-cording to the laws and standards of the State of California. Their core values reflected SPIRIT: Ser-vice, Professional Commitment,

Initiative and Creativity, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

In 2009, the LdC had 440 residents, with approximately 12 admissions and 27 discharges per year. With more than 1,200 staff to oversee the care of individuals throughout the 192 onsite build-ings, they facilitated around-the-clock care with an annual budget of nearly $116 million.

With the closure of LdC rapidly approaching, all this has quietly come to an end. In January 2010, there were less than 400 to care for, and as of Sept. 24, only 22 residents remain at the facility. Staff has been redeployed, laid off, or left through natural attri-tion.

The ddS has maintained that the well-being of all who live and work at Lanterman to be of the utmost concern and priority, and

put procedures in place to ensure a safe and successful transition for residents from LdC.

In their summer newsletter regarding the status of the clo-sure, the ddS reports that 322 residents of the LdC have been transitioned to the community; 85 homes for individuals moving from the LdC have been licensed in accordance with Senate Bill 856; and 47 former residents have moved into Adult Residential Facilities for Persons with Special Health Care Needs.

The ddS has made mention of the dwindling population and the condition of the aging infrastruc-ture as contributing factors, and the impending closure leads to speculation of what will become of those 300 acres.

The LdC is scheduled to close on dec. 31, 2014.

Walnut’s Festival Was “Rooted In Fun”

By RayMond Mendoza

Walnut - Residents once again came out in droves on Sat., Oct. 11, for the annual Walnut Family Festival - the City’s largest event with games, food and entertain-ment.

This year’s event theme was, “Rooted in Fun,” marking the City’s declaration as “Tree City U.S.A,” for being environmentally conscience.

As always, the day was started with an 8 a.m. Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the Lions Club, and followed by the parade from Lemon Avenue to Suzanne Road. The parade included special ap-pearances from City officials, lo-cal charity organizations, and the Walnut High School Blue Thunder Marching Band.

during the opening ceremonies at Suzanne Park, Congressman Ed Royce joined the Walnut City

Council on stage to welcome the residents to the event and con-gratulate the City on being known as one of the best cities to raise a family with a high quality of life.

“I have an opportunity as a member of congress to see a lot of parts of the world, but when I go to the schools here in Walnut and I see the community events, we all feel really good because this is really, really the example of what all of us aspire for in the United States,” Royce said. “This quality of life, these opportunities for our children - thank you for making it possible.”

Mayor Tragarz thanked every-one for braving the 90 degree weather, especially the community members at the Festival booths raising money for local non-profit organizations.

Walnut Family Festival newcom-ers, Robert and Renee Carpenter and their son Jacob, were excited to mix with the community and said the Festival was a perfect op-portunity to do so. The Carpenters were residents of Monterey Park

in Los Angeles until they moved to Walnut six months ago, where the couple immediately agreed that Walnut was a perfect place to raise a family, make friends and retire.

“We’re very happy here,” Robert said about becoming a Walnut resident and enjoying commu-nity event like the Walnut Family Festival.

The Carpenters even made their family a little larger at the festival, as they adopted a dog named Buster from the Redland’s Animal Shelter booth.

“I like the adoptions,” Renee said. “I like that they’re putting it out there and getting people to adopt.”

President of the Lions Club and 37-year resident, Jack Keating, said he was glad to be helping raise money for small City projects with the help of his organization’s booth. Keating said he also ex-pects to raise an estimated $400 to $500 from his booth’s popcorn sales this year, which would go toward any of the programs the

Lions Club has, including pur-chasing trees for the City, or the scholarships the group gives to Walnut High School graduates. Keating said the Festival never disappoints and that the strength of the community is what makes Walnut such a great city.

“The festival is about treating and involving yourself with all the people who live in the City of Wal-nut,” Keating said.

Bruno murder trial begins

his Irvine home by family mem-bers at approximately 1:30 p.m. The Irvine Police department responded to the call and found Bruno in a locked bedroom, de-ceased, with multiple gunshot wounds. Bruno – a successful specialty products business owner – appeared to have been killed the previous evening. Bruno’s vehicle and son, Steven, were missing from the home.

Steven Bruno was located in Colorado, and was pulled over in his father’s 2006 GMC denali near Sterling, on I-76, at around 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2012. Lo-gan County Sheriffs facilitated his return to Irvine.

At issue leading up to the shooting – which is uncontested – are alleged arguments be-tween father and son regarding money and an online girlfriend that the younger Bruno was in-

tent on meeting in Ohio. There are reports that the

son, who flunked out of college and was out of work, needed the money to visit a woman he had only known online. The father re-fused to help, and Steven Bruno removed that obstacle – shooting his father in the head and chest and taking his vehicle and credit cards - and headed in the direc-tion of Ohio.

There are also reports that the father was abusive, and the son shot Ernest Bruno out of fear, and ran for his life.

The charges of first degree murder and personal discharge of a firearm causing death have kept Bruno jailed since the time of his arrest. He faces 50 years to life in state prison, if convicted.

Weddings And Marriage

Oct. 18 - Oct. 24, 2014 9Weekly News Columnists/news

By paStoR MaRK hoppeR

In my last article, I mentioned that my wife and I had attended four weddings in four weeks from late Au-gust and to the end of Septem-ber. All of the weddings were at outdoor locations from Tem-ecula to Malibu, from Oak Glen to downtown L.A.

It used to be that June was the month for weddings, but one wedding planner told me that now September has become the new popular choice for weddings.

There is a passage in the Bible

that says, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, cleave to his wife and the two will become one flesh,” (Genesis 2:24). This short verse contains three important words.

When a couple gets married, they need to leave their father and mother. They need to end their dependence on their parents and establish their own family. Many young adults have already done this by finishing school and starting a career. But, sometimes they have remained financially and emotionally dependent on their parents.

In addition, the married couple needs to cleave to one another. The word in the original Hebrew

language has the idea of an un-breakable bond. We might use the word “super glue” to convey the idea that a married couple needs to “stick together” and not let anything or anyone break this sacred commitment.

Finally, the Bible verse also says that the married man and woman “become one flesh”. This expresses the physical intimacy that God intended for a married couple to share. It is one of the most remarkable and unique rela-tionships known to mankind.

These days, sadly, physical intimacy is not taken seriously. Movies, TV sitcoms, books and magazines often give the impres-sion that intimacy does not need

Celebrating The Simple ThingsBy nancy StoopS

I believe that each day we have the honor of being alive is call for celebration. Every morning as I awaken and see the sun rising and filling the sky with ma-jestic colors, I am reminded of how lucky we are.

As I step out in the morning with Midnight, my therapy dog, I feel blessed for his friendship and for the health that we both have. As we start our walk through our wonderful com-munity, I am proud to be part of it and I enjoy the morning song of the birds around us. As we walk, I enjoy the trees and flowers that represent life in the neighborhood.

Midnight and I are greeted

by the other daily walkers with a friendly smile and warm hello. It’s so nice to be part of such a wonderful neighborhood filled with such lovely people.

Sometimes the other dogs will visit with Midnight as we make our way through our neighbor-hood, and that makes Midnight a very happy soul.

I think the feeling of the sun on my face is just magical. The fragrant plants and flowers are intoxicating and so very delight-ful. Swimming or floating in wa-ter has always been very freeing for me. Laughter truly is the best medicine and I think we all could do a lot more of it. Looking up at a night sky filled with stars and a full moon can be an experience that provides a wonderful kind of solace. Just hanging out with my grandson is fabulous.

These simple things I speak of don’t cost any money, but

are literally priceless. I think if we all take time to appreciate the simple things that are so wonderful in our world, we will be more positive. I think we will not dwell so much on what is wrong, but focus on what is right!

dear dr. Akiyoshi:I recently at-

tended a dinner meeting with a female busi -ness associate who to ld me that she and her husband are having serious marital problems and that she might file for divorce. I have been attracted to her for three years, but ignored my feelings because she’s married. If

she files for divorce how long should I wait before I ask her out?

-Anthony

dear Anthony:don’t pursue her in any serious

way until she’s had enough time to repair her life emotionally. Give her your number and tell her that you’d be very interested in getting to know her better in the future, if she has any interest. Leave it at that. People often make lots of mistakes when they end a relationship. You don’t want to be any part of all of

that if you really like this woman. If she’s interested, she’ll call.

Arrest of attempted murder suspects

that he was accidentally shot by the other suspect during the gunfire. Suspect Miranda was arrested on the night of the shooting and has been charged with four counts of attempted murder.

Through investigative leads the detectives were able to identify the primary shooter as derek Sommer, 25, of Pomona, and were able to obtain an ar-rest warrant for five counts of

attempted murder with a bail of $5 million.

On Mon., Oct. 13, the PPd received an anonymous tip that the suspect from the Alberto’s shooting was in the apartment complex located in the 1800 block of West Orange Grove Av-enue. Patrol officers responded to this location and were able to locate and arrest Suspect Som-mer without any issues.

Suspect Sommer is being charged with five counts of at-tempted murder with gang and weapon enhancements. Sus-pect Miranda is being charged

with four counts of attempted murder with gang and weapon enhancements. Both Sommer and Miranda are known gang members, and Suspect Som-mer is also on AB109 proba-tion.

Anyone with information re-garding this incident is urged to contact the Pomona Police detective Bureau at (909) 620-2085. For anonymous tips, please contact Crime Stoppers (800) 222-8877 or We-Tip at (800) 782-7463. The Pomona Police Report Number is 14-111094.

to be protected and that people should pursue any relationships they want.

Maybe it sounds old fashioned to encourage students and young adults to not live recklessly and thoughtlessly in this area of their lives. Maybe it seems unrealistic to expect married couples to re-main faithful to their wedding vows and to one another.

Maybe we need to remind our-selves and our kids that marriage is something very special.

Weddings are special moments

in the lives of the couple getting married and for families who cel-ebrate this wonderful occasion.

Regardless of what month you select for your wedding, I hope you will remember these three important words - leave, cleave and become one!

California - Strong participa-tion among students and high satisfaction with afterschool pro-grams among parents have made California a “Top 10 State for Afterschool,” based on findings from a new household survey com-missioned by the Afterschool Alli-ance. The 2014 edition of America After 3PM also shows that demand for afterschool programs still far exceeds supply and the number of children in California who would participate if an afterschool pro-gram were available surpasses the number of children in afterschool programs.

California Named Top 10 State For Afterschool The America After 3PM sur-

vey included 30,000 American households and 854 in-depth interviews in California. It found that 25 percent of California stu-dents, 1,661,374 children in all, are enrolled in afterschool programs, up from 19 percent in 2009, when the survey was last conducted. But 1,247,699 California students are still without adult supervision in the afternoons. The parents of 2,435,254 California children not already in an afterschool program say they would enroll their child if a program were available.

“California has made great progress creating afterschool op-portunities for its children, and can

be proud of that,” said Afterschool Alliance Executive director, Jodi Grant. “But there’s no question that more work remains. Most parents in the state who want their child in a program can’t find one that works for them, and that needs to change. Every California family that needs an afterschool program should have access to one.”

The “Top 10 States for After-school,” from highest to lowest, are California, the district of Columbia, Florida, Vermont, Mas-sachusetts, Arizona, Oregon, Ne-braska, Tennessee and Hawaii.

“We have important building blocks for future progress already in place in California,” said Jeff

davis, Interim director of the California AfterSchool Network. “The survey found that 90 percent of parents with children in after-school programs are satisfied with the program their child attends. Also encouraging is the rock solid support for public funding of afterschool. Eighty-six percent of California parents in the survey said they support public funding for afterschool programs.”

To determine the state rank-ings, a composite score was calculated for all 50 states, plus the district of Columbia, and indexed against the national av-erage. Each state’s overall score is based on afterschool program participation, afterschool pro-grams reaching children in need, and parents’ satisfaction with key

features of their child’s afterschool program.

On October 23, more than 1 million people in communities across the nation and at U.S. military installations worldwide will join the only national rally for afterschool programs. Sponsored by the Afterschool Alliance and now in its 15th year, Lights On Afterschool brings communities together for science fairs, fun runs, community service events, music and dance performances, open houses and other events at schools, community centers, malls, parks and recreation cen-ters, science museums, state capitols, and other settings.
