ippocrates, the father of medicine, stated “Let food
be thy medicine.” Today, this statement still applies.

depression, anxiety, insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure
and more. I see kids with pre-diabetes and obesity. I frequent-

run optimally on cheap gas, our bodies are unable to func-

healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts. Caution,
weight loss is a common side effect of healthy eating.

Think Healthy
King Solomon boldly proclaimed millennia ago “As a man
thinketh in his heart: so he is.” Once we digest the fact that
our thoughts influence our future, we become careful what
we think about. Daily, our minds are being inundated with
negativity. While we are told to “think positive” regarding
issues we face in our life, we rarely are told to be optimistic

when it comes to health. Instead, most focus on the health
problems not desired, instead of the healthy life desired. Peo-
ple fear their genetics pre-determine their health future but
experts state that less than 5% of one’s disease risk is genetic.
95% of disease risk is determined by lifestyle choices.

Patients often tell me they don’t want heart disease, diabetes

and cancer but rarely tell me what they want instead of these
ailments. Motivational speaker Zig Ziglar states “Input de-
termines outlook, outlook determines output and your out-
put determines your future.” The same applies to health and
the beliefs we have about it.

Start with a healthy diet of God-made foods instead of corpo-
ration made foods. Focus on wellness, healthy living and an
active outdoor lifestyle. Go back to basics. Cook your foods,
eat more fruits and vegetables and keep the junk foods to a

soda. Make these changes and health, happiness and longev-

On the day my husband and I tried the Bull Pen we

started out with the Bull Platter. This included bone-
less wings, which were a perfect spicy barbeque, tater
skins, cheese skins, and two Armadillo Eggs, with Bean
and Cheese Nachos served with Marinara, Tornado and
Ranch Dressings. This could have been a meal on its
own and we both would order it again. One terrific fea-
ture of the Bull Pen menu is they stuff their own jalape-
ños, which are amazing and reminiscent of New Mexico
chilis, complete with tasty and incredible cheese. The fry
menu is extensive and can easily be a meal or a tasty
and mind-blowing appetizer. The menu offers many
choices for lunch or dinner, including: specialty burgers,
the Bullpen BLT, featuring apple wood smoked bacon,
and a deep fried hot dog. An additional crowd pleaser is
the Juicy Loosey Cheeseburger which consists of a ½ Lb
patty stuffed with four slices of American cheese served
with Grilled Onions, pickles, mustard, and Thousand Is-
land dressing. The Bullpen burger we sampled was the
Kobe Beef Burger, which was exceptional. The highlight
of our eating experience, however, was the sweet potato
fries with their cinnamon butter dip. This was a huge
indulgence, and is worth coming back to the Bull Pen
for over and over again. We even brought extras home
for our kids and they were crazy about them. We all also
loved the homemade chips. To add to the great customer
service, at the end of each meal you get homemade cook-
ies, which even though we had feasted, we heartily ap-
preciated. Our dining experience was very worthwhile.
We would certainly go back for dinner, work lunches,
breakfast with the kids, football season…you get the
picture…it is a great dining experience.

Enrolling in Kids Rock Free can be done either by signing up for

16 weeks (two sessions) of free lessons—there’s currently a one-
year wait list and parents must volunteer their time—or, to bypass
the waiting period, by the paying low-cost fee of $150 per 8-week
session. “With each class time ranging from an hour to hour-and-
a-half, the low cost fees are still very affordable,” says Shuck.

The program began in 1998 after Corona city and school offi-
cials approached the Fender Corporation, whose manufacturing
facility in Corona produces high quality electric guitars. Since
Fender began sponsoring a musical education program for stu-
dents, more than 10,000 kids have participated in the classes.

with fantastic guitars, drumming that will rock your world,
and prolific vocals. If you were a crazed screaming victim
of Beatlemania, now it’s possible to set the dial on your time
machine and revisit America’s beloved Beatle era. Imitators are
plentiful, but when the tribute is taken to heart, it produces
great art that will make you feel an emotion you have never
felt before. With their tight harmonies, flawless note for note
renditions of Beatles hits, custom–tailored costumes, vintage
instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to
every detail, they recreate the magic, music, wit and charm
of the Beatles, including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities,
familiar on-stage banter and patter between songs.

More than just a Beatles tribute concert, Ticket to Ride gives

the audience a chance to “be there” at pivotal moments in
the extraordinary career of the Beatles – from Liverpool’s
legendary Cavern Club, to the Ed Sullivan Show, Shea
Stadium’s 50,000+ screaming fans and their final live
performance on the rooftop of their Apple Corp offices. With
manager Brian Epstein serving as narrator, Ticket to Ride
allows the audience to get a glimpse inside the world of the
Beatles from their point of view, as well as hear some of the
AN AWARD WINNING greatest songs ever written.

“Red Light... Green Light...
GO!”
Dear Dr. Love,

How do I get bad thoughts out of my head? I am a mother of three

and love my family more than anything!

I can’t get the worry thoughts of something happening to one of

my kids out of my mind. I play these thoughts out and daydream
horrible scenarios. Am I abnormal? Is this unhealthy?

Please Help!

Bad Thoughts,
Canyon Lake, Ca

Dear Bad Thoughts,

You are not abnormal. This is why humans are known as the
“Worry Animals.” Some people work themselves up to a fren-
zy over “Bad Thoughts” which are nothing more than made
up situations in their head. Is this unhealthy? Yes, it can be
unhealthy; depending on how often/long you allow these
thoughts to enter your mind. You may have heard of the “Fight
or Flight” mechanism. This is where it gets unhealthy! We all
have the hormone adrenaline. When you create bad thoughts,
the brain sends adrenaline to your muscles allowing you a
boost of strength to fight or get away from danger (as if it were
really happening). Hence“Fight or Flight” – your bad thoughts
can trigger this mechanism unnecessarily. Blood pressure ris-
es, adrenaline flows, you get all worked up for nothing over a
made up thought.

Here is how to control it. This is a little trick I like to call, Red
Light-Green Light. When bad thoughts begin to enter your
mind, picture a stop light pole with the (3) lights: red, yellow,
and green. As soon as the bad thought enters HIT the red light
“STOP”- change your thought to something pleasant, that you
enjoy and picture the green light and proceed on with the good
thought. As soon as another bad thought tapers in, (and they
will) “RED” light again. This is a simple exercise that works…
however, you will have to be consistent and not allow any “Bad
Thoughts” to enter. When they do, remember: “Red Light,
Green Light”.

Good luck. I hope you find this helpful.

Dr. Love is Dr. Tim Abihider, M.Div.,PhD.

 WRONG PROJECT ATname
THE
of SECTION

WRONG LOCATION
Open pit gravel mines in a community change the way people
look at that community. It becomes an industrial mecca, a
dumping ground for more of the same. This Mega Mine will
pollute and imperil our communities. It is a toxic project!

Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Rainbow, and Fall-

brook Medical Doctors say “NO” to a quarry in our
communities! Dr. Daniel C. Robbins says, “The Liberty
Quarry project is an open pit mine and will increase
air pollution, and silica dust will be carried via the pre-
vailing winds directly to our valley. This will increase
rates of asthma, may eventually lead to cases of chronic
nodular silicosis, and will worsen the lungs of our most
fragile patients.”

Breathing may be hazardous to your health!

Join us in our efforts to protect our communities from
one of the largest open pit, hard rock gravel quarries
in the country! Get informed! Be proactive! For detailed
information and to sign up for email updates, go to:
