Ward 5 Update
A Place
to Play
Summer school vacation
is almost here and soon,
thousands of our children
will be enthusiastically
looking for fun things to do with their time
off from school.
The City’s Parks, Recreation and Community
Services Department will offer a variety of
programs at the Hunt Park Renck Center
this summer. A Summer Day Camp Program
for children between the ages of 5–12 years
is scheduled at Hunt Park located at 4015
Jackson Street from June 17–August 23
from 7 am to 6 pm. The cost for the camp
is $92 per week for residents and $138 per
week for non-residents.
A variety of Specialty Classes will also be
offered throughout the summer. These classes
will include, dance, martial arts, fitness and
exercise, basketball and Teen Scene. The
Pools at Hunt Park, located at 4015 Jackson
Ave. and Arlington Park, located at 3860
Van Buren Blvd. will be open from June 15–August 22. Recreational swim and swim
lessons will be offered. Free Recreation
swim, sponsored by the Riverside Police
Activities League will be available on
Fridays from June 21 – July 12.
Residents are encouraged to visit the Parks
and Recreation website at www.Riverside
ca.gov for a complete list of programs and
services, class schedules and fees. For
additional information please call (951)
826-2000. The city has worked tirelessly
over the past seven years to improve all our
parks and make them a fun and safe place
for our residents to visit, especially our
children. We encourage you to check out
all of Riverside’s wonderful parks and exciting programs.
I wish you all a happy, fun and safe summer.
— Councilman Chris MacArthur
Ward 6 Update
Thank You for 12 Great Years
Hi Ward 6! The time has
come to say Farewell. I will
be in the office till June 18th.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Ward 6
residents and businesses for
the kindnesses you have all
shown me over the last 12
years. We have gotten a lot
done and have many great projects finished and
an amazing number still in the pipeline that Jim
will finish up for the betterment of all of us and
the city in general.
Thank you all for the vote on Measure A. The
cuts that would have had to be made would have
proven a big hit to our quality of life. We have
the best city around because we are willing to
fund the things that make a difference to how we
live. You get what you are willing to pay to have.
I don’t believe cities should have great bank
accounts to sit on. That money is meant to be
spent now and in times of disaster. Cutting of the
purse strings sounds laudable until your street
needs fixed, your house catches fire or some
other need arises like a new park for all to enjoy.
You elect people to office to help make those
decisions with your input.
I backed Jim and gave him my support because
I believe he will be a good leader and take us to
the next step of raising the bar in our community.
You evidently do too by the number of votes.
Thank you all again for the pleasure of having
served you in the PTA, on the Alvord School
Board and on the city council. We’ve had a good
run. See you around in all the right places of
service as the beat goes on.
— Councilwoman Nancy Hart

Business Spotlight
VM Dental Group
Helping people perfect
their smiles is what drew
Dr. Suraj Pal Sharma
(DDS) into the field of
General Dentistry. “I was
fascinated with my own
dentist as a child,” remarked Dr. Sharma, and
that compelled him to
decide while in college
to start his own dental
business.
The office is
located at 5515
Van Buren Blvd.,
near Philbin
Avenue
The team
at VM Dental
in-house financing to patients that qualify. Along
with maintaining reasonable prices, he has
incorporated coupons in the Pennysaver along
with coupons/flyers handed out by his staff. “In
times like this, you have to find ways to draw
people to you – aside from providing great
service – to stay in business,” stated Sharma.
Suraj Pal Sharma,
D.D.S., Owner
Dr. Sharma chose Riverside as the location
for VM Dental Group because he had friends
living in the area and felt a connection to the
City. He appreciates the kindness of people
who live here and also enjoys the cleanliness
of the City compared to others he’s visited. He
is very pleased with Riverside as a location for
his small business.
The success of his business is in no small part
due to his staff. His Front Office Manager is
Elizabeth Varela and she’s been working there
for 4 years. Karina Lopez is his Back Office
Manager, and she’s been at VM Dental Group
for 5 years. Another key member of his team
is Dental Hygienist, Melissa Totten. She graduated from RCC in 2011, and is a native of
Riverside. She works once a week, and has been
at VM Dental since January of this year. “We
are very pleased to have her a part of our team.
Patients compliment her work every week.”
His office on Van Buren Blvd. has been open for
8 years and he has one other office on
Mission Boulevard in Glen Avon. Although he
still sees a steady stream of patients since the
economic downturn, he finds that many of his
patients just can’t afford their treatments due to
lack of income. He’s been able to overcome that
by partnering with two companies that assist
with payment plans and also by offering
Pennsylvania, Dr. Georgieff is only at the
office once a month for ortho exams. “He is
a very experienced and kind doctor, and our
office is happy he has joined us.”
VM Dental offers dental services including
implants, root canal treatment, cerec crowns,
teeth cleanings, sleep apnea treatment and
much more. The office is located at 5515 Van
Buren Blvd. near Philbin Avenue. The office
can be reached at 951-352-5838, via email at
[email protected] or on the web at
vmdentistry.com.
Orthodontist, Dr George Georgieff, has been
practicing for over 53 year and he recently
joined VM Dental Group. A graduate of the
University of Pittsburgh and the University of
Van Buren Drive-In Converts to Digital
Word from Hollywood is they will no longer distribute 35-millimeter film prints to movie theaters later this year. Most indoor theaters have
already converted to digital and recently, our
own Van Buren Drive-In made the change too.
The owner of the theater also owns the Mission
Drive-In Theater in Montclair and they made the
investment of several hundred thousand dollars
in order to make the switch in April. The
expense included equipment, installation and
remodeling of the projection booths.
Although drive-ins have had a tough time surviving
as an industry, they have made a comeback in
the past decade mainly due to lower ticket prices.
Locals in the community speak of the theater’s
nostalgic charm and opportunity for family time.
The theater is clean, the quality of the movie is
just as good as an indoor theater and the food in
the snack bar is really good. We’ve also heard
comments about the ability to accommodate
families who have a lot of children or children
with special needs.
Make it a point to visit the Van Buren Drive-In
this summer and enjoy the view from your vehicle.
