August, 2004 INLAND ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW (909) 797-4020 oaktree-village.com [email protected] Make tracks to the beach August is the Right Time to Take the Beach Train T he June gloom is now a distant memory. The hottest days of the summer are upon us and taking a break by taking in the cool waves of the Pacific is the perfect way to spend a summer weekend day. Better yet, there is an alternative to fighting traffic on the 91 Freeway and searching for a parking spot. The alternative is to take the Beach Train, which is offered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). The Beach Train will run every Saturday and 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 many people because it allows people to socialize and make new friends,” said RCTC Executive Director Eric Haley. “That’s especially true when the train is headed to the beach on a warm sum- mer day.” In addition to providing summer recreation trips, Haley also hopes that positive experiences on the Beach Train will convince people to take the train during the week too. “For many people the Beach Train offers the first opportunity to take a train in Southern California,” said Haley. “Once people take the train to the Beach, they start considering whether they can take the train to work too.” Metrolink commuter train service, which provides its trains to RCTC for the Beach Train, offers commuter service from San Bernardino and Riverside Counties to Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Stations in Orange and Los Angeles Counties are located next to major worksites and can provide an attractive alternative to fighting freeway traffic. For more information on Metrolink, check out www.metrolinktrains.com or call Beach-goers discover the ease of train travel with the Beach Train. 1-(800) 371-LINK. Beach Train tickets must be purchased in advance and are limited on a number of days that serve major attractions such as the World Bodysurfing Championships which are held in Oceanside on Aug. 21 and 22.

The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series roars into the Speedway for the Inaugural “Finish Under the Lights” Pop Secret 500 on Sunday, September 5. Also racing at the superspeedway is the NASCAR Busch Series in the Target House 300 on Saturday, September 4. This is the second NASCAR race ever held in a single-season at California Speedway and the first time the Inland Empire has seen two NASCAR races in one year since 1987, one year before Riverside International Raceway closed. The Labor Day weekend festivities at California Speedway are a high-speed thrill ride, whether you’re a racing aficionado or not. NASCAR stars like Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Southern Californian Jimmie Johnson will compete in the 43-car field for 500 miles in their pursuit for the 2004 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Championship. These races are popular, so don’t delay in getting your ticket. Since the speedway opened in 1997, each race has sold out. More than 120,000 people watch NASCAR's premier series take to the 2mile, D-shaped oval. It’s a race right down to the wire with 500-miles of adrenaline-pumping action. This year, you can join seven-time NASCAR Cup champion Richard Petty as he serves as Grand Marshal for the Pop Secret 500. Saturday’s action will feature the Busch race and the Miller Lite Rock 'n Racing Concert. Also, make sure you come out for the first ever “Fontana Race Week,” featuring driver appearances. California Speedway, “America’s Ultimate Race Place,” features 92,000 grandstand seats and camping in 1,800 infield reserved RV spaces.

The facility remains busy with a variety of track rentals from driving schools to test sessions to club events. The speedway’s road courses have benefited a number of local racing organizations from motorcycles to sports cars, giving them a premier facility to compete or test their skills on. In addition, the speedway has been featured in a number of commercials, photo shoots and Hollywood movies – most recently “NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience.” California Speedway is an economic stronghold in Fontana and the Inland Empire. According to an economic study, the entire impact of the speedway’s events and daily operations in 2003 totaled $135.7 million, with approximately $84.7 million coming from a single NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend. R Get your own racing So, you want to be a race car driver ... The roar of the engines, the smell of burning rubber, the thrill of speed ... experiencing NASCAR racing at the California Speedway this Labor Day weekend may be enough to get you thinking, “Yeah, I could do that.” Before you run off and hire a pit crew, however, you may want to check your options. The Inland Empire offers numerous opportunities for you to satisfy your racing cravings. Kart racing isn’t your traditional go-cart, however. Attaining speeds of up to 100mph, modern kart racing is considered the “minor leagues” of NASCAR racing, offering a similar feel but with greater safety and at an affordable price.

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 experienced 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 didn’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 succeed 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 keeping 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 following 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 Haessly Curves, 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 fitness 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!
