Time to burn rubber Racing fans will rejoice this coming Labor Day as some of the biggest racing action of the

year arrives at California Speedway.We highlight the two big days of racing on page 8.

Understandably, this event may get you itching to try your own hand at burning up a track.

Before you hock your home to buy a high-performance car and pit crew, you’ll be happy to

hear that kart racing has arrived in the Inland Empire to answer your prayers. Kart racing is

the “little league” of auto racing and is so accessible even children can do it. For more on

where you can get strapped in, see our article starting on page 9.

You may notice that we’ve added a few new sections to this issue:“For the Kids” and

“Golf.” We are responding to reader requests with more information on what you want. Look

for these sections to grow in the future. If you want to put in your two-cents, fill out our

reader response form on page 11.You may even win a free subscription to IER!

As usual, have a good time this month!

pageantry and merriment.

torical weekend with Elizabeth the 1st,

Queen of England, her Royal Court, and

people from the entire known world. Be

part of the pageantry, taste traditional

foods, feel the heat of battles between the encampments.Watch artisans and crafts

people recreate the feeling of living in that time, hear the music and watch live enter-

tainment. Shop the vendors for unique and exotic wares of that period. Lose yourself

to another time, another place, if only for awhile.

Tickets are $12 for Adults, $9 for Seniors 55+, $7 for Children 5 to 12 and

Children under 5 are free.Advance sale tickets are available for $9 a day, or $17 for

the weekend by calling (562) 438-9903.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Long Beach AIDS Food Store.Two non-

perishable food items brought to the Festival will give $2 off admission price of adults

Forty Years and Still Horsin’ Around!

The June gloom is now a distantmemory. The hottest days ofthe summer are upon us andtaking a break by taking in thecool waves of the Pacific is the

perfect way to spend a summer weekendday. Better yet, there is an alternative tofighting traffic on the 91 Freeway andsearching for a parking spot.

The alternative is to take the BeachTrain, which is offered by the RiversideCounty Transportation Commission (RCTC).The Beach Train will run every Saturdayand Sunday between Aug. 1 and Aug. 22..Additional trains will run on Sept. 18, Sept.25, Oct. 2 and Oct. 3. The round-trip fare is$16 for adults and $11 for kids under 16.

“The train itself is an attraction for manypeople because it allows people to socializeand make new friends,” said RCTCExecutive Director Eric Haley.

“That’s especially true when the trainis headed to the beach on a warm sum-

mer day.”In addition to providing summer recre-

ation trips, Haley also hopes that positiveexperiences on the Beach Train will con-vince people to take the train during theweek too.

“For many people the Beach Train offersthe first opportunity to take a train inSouthern California,” said Haley. “Oncepeople take the train to the Beach, theystart considering whether they can take thetrain to work too.”

Metrolink commuter train service, whichprovides its trains to RCTC for the BeachTrain, offers commuter service from SanBernardino and Riverside Counties to LosAngeles and Orange Counties. Stations inOrange and Los Angeles Counties are locat-ed next to major worksites and can providean attractive alternative to fighting freewaytraffic.

For more information on Metrolink,check out www.metrolinktrains.com or call

1-(800) 371-LINK.Beach Train tickets must be purchased

in advance and are limited on a number ofdays that serve major attractions such as theWorld Bodysurfing Championships whichare held in Oceanside on Aug. 21 and 22.

A mobile zoo coming to youNorthern

California's loss is the

Inland Empire's gain.

Art and Nancy True

enjoyed over 12 years

of success with their

mobile zoo service in

Northern California.

Then, they decided to

"slow the pace down"

and relocated to the

Palm Springs area,

specifically Sky Valley.

But they brought

with them their expe-

rience and their life-

long love of animals.

Their Zoo 4U, a

mobile zoo, has

become a party favorite for any special occasion, including birthdays, churches, schools

and corporate events.The "zoo" currently consists of chickens, rabbits, ducks, goats, a

pot-bellied piglet, Florida tortoise, frogs, snakes and lizards. In addition to the petting por-

tion of their business, they also give one-hour educational lectures.

The Zoo 4U mobile unit has air conditioning and lighting for any weather or time. For

information, call 760-288-4455.

El Monte woman wins Athens Olympic vacation

Maria Pineda already had passport in hand when

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino Chief Operating

Officer Joe DeRosa phoned her Monday evening

(July 5) at her El Monte residence with the news

that she had been chosen as the winner of an all-

expenses paid dream trip for two to next month’s

Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

As part of its six-week Athens Summer Games

Giveaway promotion for Club Fantasy player’s club

card holders, Fantasy Springs was awarding one

lucky player with the trip that includes round-trip

airfare, luxury lodging on the Queen Mary II, tickets

for six days of Olympic competition including the

opening ceremonies and the beauty and lure of

Ancient Greece. Fortunately for the Pinedas, con-

test rules did not require that the winner be pres-

ent to claim the prize.

Pineda, 60, who works in quality control for a

paper bag manufacturer, and her husband, Fred, 66,

a retired electrician and mechanic, recently secured

the passports to prepare for a weekend getaway in

Baja.

“We’re so excited about winning this dream

vacation,” said Fred Pineda, who spoke to casino

officials by phone because his wife was too excited

to speak.“We can’t wait to see the Olympic Games

and tour Athens to experience the history of Greece.”

Fred Pineda admitted the couple had never previously won a prize of any significance,

but were hoping to change their luck by securing entries in the contest.

On behalf of his wife, Maria, FredPineda of El Monte (center) acceptsthe Athens Summer Olympic GamesDream Vacation prize from FantasySprings Resort Casino COO JoeDeRosa (left) and CEO JamesMcKennon (right).

At the Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater

in Claremont, audiences enjoy Ryan’s music

Ryan’s style of play, a personal forum where he

can connect with his audience.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following are articles in our ongoing Summerseries of weight-loss success stories.

Just six short weeks ago I never would have thought I could

accomplish what I have.Thanks to Chris and the Curves

Challenge I have lost almost 15 pounds and numerous inches and

my clothes fit me once again. I am on the right road to being thin

again.

Until six years ago, I had been thin all my life.Then, I experi-

enced several back-to-back life changing events and I began to

eat as a way to deal with the stress. I “learned” how to comfort

myself with food. I continued to “nurture” myself with food until I

weighed more than I could imagine.

The day after Chris opened her Downtown Riverside Curves

I joined. For almost 1 1/2 years I exercised regularly at Curves

and learned how to incorporate exercise into my daily life. I did-

n’t lose much weight; I still had not learned how to control my

eating. I am a Registered Dietician and I knew how to lose weight

and keep it off.Why couldn’t I?

When Chris announced the first Curves Challenge, I jumped

at the chance to join. I signed up but the closer the start date

came the more anxious I became. During the five days prior to

the “Big Challenge” I psyched myself up using a lot of positive

self-talk: “You can do this, Laurie.You have accomplished much in

you life; you will be able to accomplish this, too.You want to suc-

ceed bad enough, you will be successful!”

And, I have been successful, thanks to Michelle and Chris and

my Curves Challenge buddies. During the Weekly Lesson #5 I

had a revelation. I learned that to be truly happy and able to cope

with life’s challenges and be successful at losing weight and keep-

ing it off, I had to learn how to nurture myself in meaningful ways

that lead to high self-esteem and self-actualization. I had to find

positive ways to “nurture” myself rather than relying on food as

temporary “nourishment.” I finally realized that I must do the fol-

lowing nurturing activities every day: read my “Daily Affirmation”

out loud every morning; put my needs ahead of others’ for

awhile; do something nice for myself; share my feelings and needs

with my family and friends; remind myself of what I am thankful

for and always let God be there for me; take a walk outside and

enjoy the nature around me when I am stressed and feel the urge

to eat.

By Laurie HaesslyCurves, 3537 Main St., Riverside. (909) 276-7100

Lisa Souza joined Curves in Oct. of 2003. She started out

wanting to lose weight and become healthier. Little did she know

where this path would take her. She at first focused on just the

fitness part and lost six pounds and 8 inches. She then decided

that working out just wasn’t enough, so she joined Curves’

“You’ve Got the Power” weight loss challenge.

Lisa has now participated in two six-week Challenges and is

planning on a third this fall.With her hard work and Curves fit-

ness and weight loss programs she has now lost a total of 31

pounds and 37.5 inches. But she hasn’t stopped there.

Lisa still has her own personal goal of losing 30 more pounds,

but now she is a Curves staff member and is inspiring others to

reach their goals as well.

Congratulations, Lisa!
