“Good Things, a living room musical” an original play comes to Sutter Street Theatre.

Good Things, a living room musical

Music, lyrics and story by Emma Harlow

Directed by Payton Gobielle

Edited by Jesse Winton and Payton Gobielle

Folsom, California - This original musical is the story of a group of young adults who must learn how to navigate mental illness and tragedy by reminding each other where to find the “Good Things” in life. This show aims to begin a discussion about the real obstacles we face every day. There are strong themes of drug abuse and suicide.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in 2017, an estimated 3.2 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. This number represented 13.3% of the U.S. population aged 12 to 17. The prevalence of major depressive episodes was higher among adolescent females (20.0%) compared to males (6.8%). While suicide isn’t always linked to depression, most times, mental health is a major factor. Currently, suicide is the second leading cause of death for children, adolescents, and young adults age 5-to-24-year-olds

LAS VEGAS, NV (Nov. 12, 2019) — Leading wholesale trade print provider Rent A Press is proud to announce the expansion of their line of print marketing products with custom printed stickers.  These new print products offer a new way to brand and self-promote companies of all sizes.

“Stickers are an extremely popular and trendy tool for branding and marketing”, says Viktoria Vasileva, marketing manager at RentAPress.  “Our line of full color, custom stickers make fantastic promotional gifts, product/shipping labeling, and can easily be combined with other print products like brochures, presentation folders, rack cards, booklets and flyers.” 

“The striking originality of stickers mean they naturally attract attention and entice engagement, making custom wholesale stickers not just a fun alternative to other more common marketing materials, but also represent a way to market that psychologically minimizes automatic defenses of a prospective customer/consumer”, Viktoria added, “Stickers are fun and that fun factor opens new ways of advertising that include increased odds of not just keeping the marketing materials but staying top of mind.  Stickers ultimately mean our brand and products have to be in front of someone fewer times for shorter amount of time before being committed to memory”. 

Custom stickers are a new, affordable and completely customizable wholesale product and come in a myriad of attractive shapes and sizes.  Each sticker is kiss-cut and are made from long lasting, fade-resistant yet writable materials with uncoated, semi-gloss, matte or vinyl finishes.  Each custom trade sticker is easy to peel and place.

ABOUT THE SHOWDisney’s classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress.  If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self.  But time is running out.  If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.  Disney’s Beauty And The Beast offers a great opportunity to bring the entire community together for family theatre at its best!

The musicals continue to receive outstanding critical acclaim and attract audiences young and old.

DUI Checkpoint resulted in 4 arrests

Fontana, California - Fontana Police Department arrested an individual for DUI and three individuals on their outstanding warrants while conducting a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on Saturday, November 16, 2019. The checkpoint was located on Cherry and Santa Ana, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.

In addition, 28 drivers were cited for operating a vehicle unlicensed or with a suspended/revoked license and 11 additional citations were issued.

DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests.

Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be approximately $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses not to mention possible jail time.

Fontana Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, can impair and result in a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs.

Fontana Police Department will be conducting additional DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols throughout the year in our ongoing commitment to take suspected impaired drivers off our streets and highways, ultimately lowering the risk for deaths and injuries.

Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Sa
