Moreno Valley Marks Sept. 11
with Special M Lighting
|
|
Moreno Valley's iconic M on Box Springs Mountain will shine in red, white and blue from dusk to midnight on Friday, Sept. 11, in recognition of the National Day of Service and Remembrance. The day commemorates the loss of thousands of people in New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., at the hands of terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. Thousands more were injured.
“This is a great opportunity for each of us to find a way to make a positive contribution to our community,” said Dr. Yxstian Gutierrez, Mayor of Moreno Valley.
The M is lighted almost nightly in recognition of holidays and observances important to the community. To find out why it’s lighted in a particular color, visit www.moval.org/mschedule.

Simple Ways to Improve Pool Safety |
|
Stay close, be alert and watch children in and around the pool.
- Never allow children to use a pool or spa unsupervised.
- Keep children away from pool drains, pipes, and other openings to avoid entrapments.
- If a child is missing, look for him or her in the pool or spa first.
Learn and practice water-safety skills.
- Learn how to swim and teach your child how to swim.
- Learn to perform CPR on children and adults, and update those skills regularly.
Have appropriate safety equipment.
- Install a four-foot fence around the pool and spa and use self-closing and self-latching gates; ask your neighbors to do the same at their pools.
- Install a lockable safety cover on your spa.
- Install pool and gate alarms to alert you when children go near the water.
