MoVal Comes Together for "Stars, Stripes and Fireworks"
|
|
Once again this year, MoVal showed why its 4th of July festivities are some of the best in the Inland Empire. Marching under the theme of "Stars, Stripes and Fireworks," our famous 4th of July parade delighted spectators along Frederick St. with outstanding local school bands, a fun collection of floats, classic cars carrying many of MoVal's local community leaders, and flags -- lots of flags!
Then the Independence Day party moved over to Morrison Park for the very popular annual FunFest. The family-friendly event drew a near-record crowd for fun, food and fabulous fireworks to cap the day's events. Thank you, MoVal, for your enthusiasm for our community and our nation!

Picture of the Week:
Animal Services Rescues Dozens of Cats
|
|
|
|
If you saw any local news this week, chances are you saw this great photo of a man cuddling and comforting a distressed kitten.
The man is
Daryl Brawley, Animal Services Field Supervisor
. The kitten was found with about 100 other felines in various stages of neglect at a house where conditions were reportedly at least as bad as you can imagine, and maybe worse.
The person responsible is being charged with felony animal cruelty. And the professionals at the Animal Shelter are working to bring all the rescued cats and kittens back to health so they can be placed in safe homes with people who will show them the love and care they deserve.
That simple but powerful photo, captured by
Media & Communications Division Cable TV Producer Steven Morel
, spoke a thousand words to people all over Southern California, and accurately showed our MoVal City employees as the caring, dedicated people they are.

Are YOU Prepared if The Big One Strikes Today?
|
|
The 4th of July earthquake was a good reminder of The Big One, the legendary earthquake that geologists say WILL eventually rock our Southern California world with little or no warning. But one thing is for sure: The key to weathering the damage will be residents' own
preparation ahead of time to survive for at least a week
while emergency crews respond to the most serious damage and injuries, and roads and utilities like water and gas lines are repaired.
To help you prepare for a severe earthquake, the Moreno Valley
Office of Emergency Management
has created
a simple and handy tip sheet
. Those forward-thinking folks at the Office of Emergency Management have created tip sheets to help you prepare for all kinds of emergencies.

"Summer at City Hall" Interns Get the
Emergency Treatment
|
|
When you're a Summer at City Hall intern, you get to do all kinds of cool stuff, such as getting a behind-the-scenes tour of MoVal's state-of-the-art
Emergency Operations Center
. The interns, incoming seniors at
Rancho Verde High School
, learned all about emergency services and how well prepared the City is to respond to a wide variety of situations. Firefighters were also on hand to provide a detailed tour of a fire engine -- and to do a little early recruiting by discussing with students how to become a firefighter.

Oh, Go Take a Hike -- to the M
|
|
Next time you have visitors from out of town and need to entertain them, you can tell them to go take a hike -- to the City's most visible landmark, the big M on Box Springs Mountain. They'll get an excellent view of the the whole area, maybe spot a wild burro or other wildlife, and have the chance of a lifetime to get a selfie with the famous MoVal M!
The Box Springs M trail is fairly challenging: 4.3 miles with an elevation change of 1,370 ft. The trail begins at
23100 Cougar Canyon Drive
.
Learn more about other hiking opportunities and MoVal's extensive multi-use trail system
on the City's website

Pet of the Week Video: Cuteness to the "Max!"
|
|
Each week the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter highlights a pet available for adoption in the hopes of finding them a "forever home."
Brace yourself before
watching the video
of this week's Pet, the impossibly cute Max (#A497493).
Max
is one-year old -- just a baby! He's a long-hair Dachshund mix (must be mixed with a pound of sugar, he's so sweet). And all he's hoping to find is a safe, loving home. Yours, maybe?
Please visit the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter located at
14041 Elsworth St.
to inquire about adopting sweet little Max or other cats and dogs searching for life companions.
Animal Services
is also online, and can be reached at 951-413-3790
