Corona Update
The Corona Women’s Business Partnership (CWBP)

is a program developed by the City of Corona and the
Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at California
State University, San Bernardino.
The program targets its efforts on women owned
businesses and is tailored to meet their specific needs.
It was organized as a networking and mentoring
partnership dedicated to assisting women in realizing
their business potential and creating dynamic
opportunities for leadership, learning, community and
business development.
Now in its seventh year of operation, CWBP conducts quarterly
meetings centered on a myriad of topics designed to fulfill the
business development needs of its members. Discussions range
from business start-up principals to succession planning and
everything in between.
The City of Corona offers a host of programs dedicated to the
business community at no cost to the business owner. Organized
under the Team Corona umbrella, these programs provide access
to resources that assist in the development, growth and expansion
of business at all levels.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Riverside County Transportation Commission Works To Seek

Regional Transportation Solutions
T he Greater Corona Valley Chamber of
Commerce is proud of its partnership with
support of the project. SR-91 links to 6.6 million
jobs (45% of all jobs in California) in Riverside,

(RCTC) to support transportation improvement The 91 Projects is estimated to permanently
plans that relieve congestion on our freeways,
streets and roads, and ensures future mobility
within the Corona valley region.
One of our top priorities is the planned
improvements to SR-91 from the Orange County
line to Interstate 15. On a daily basis, the main
stretch of SR-91 handles more than 280,000
vehicle trips per day, including: commuters,
tourists, contractors, businessmen and trucks.
It’s not uncommon to see traffic back up until
the late evening due to drivers returning to their
homes in Riverside County.
“The overall SR-91 Corridor Improvement
Project will result in a $1.3 billion investment
and create more than 16,000 jobs,” stated
Cynthia Schneider, Chair of the Greater Corona
Valley Chamber’s Legislative Action Committee.
“We are very proud of the work RCTC is
doing to bring solutions to our transportation
challenges,” continued Schneider.
This project is very important to the mobility and
economic vitality of our region. The project will
give the average commuter 75 more hours per
year to spend with family or participating in our
economy. Approximately 1 out of 4 vehicles on
the existing 91 Express Lanes are HOV 3+
(have 3 or more occupants). This is proof
that the 91 Project will create an incentive for
ridesharing, further reducing congestion.
Improvements that are being considered
include: a regular traffic lane in each direction,
improved ramps and intersections at major city
streets that intersect the freeway in Corona,
better connections between I-15 and SR-91 and
the extension of the SR-91 Express Lanes which
are currently located on the SR-91 in Orange
County to I-15. If this alternative is selected,
this would mark the first time that toll lanes have
been constructed in Riverside County.
RCTC recently applied for a federal Transport-
ation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation
Act (TIFIA) loan request to help bring the
final approval of the SR-91 Project to reality.
The Greater Corona Valley Chamber is supporting
the loan request.
Unemployment in Riverside County stands at
14.4%, the highest of any metropolitan area in
the United States. It is estimated that the 91
Project will create 16,200 jobs, including 4,600
jobs directly involved with construction and

Tina Edwards
Behind every successful businessman is his secret weapon, at L T Enterprises,

that happens to be Tina Edwards. They first started L T Enterprises (Lenny &
Tina) in 1992 as an Amway Distributorship to supplement their income while
Lenny worked for various office equipment dealerships. When a blip in the
economy cut his income sixty percent over night in 1991, something had to
change and he wanted Tina to be a “stay at home” mom as she had been for the
previous 14 years while living in Costa Mesa & Huntington Beach. They moved
to Corona in 1990 to their new home in Sierra Del Oro along with their four
children; Angela, Megan, Steven II, & Samantha. Lenny continued to work at
other dealerships with his commissions continually being cut until 1996,
when he and Tina started L T Office Products; their own office equipment
dealership which had always been their goal to be self employed. Tina also saw a
need for an “in house leasing” company in their equipment business & started
OMA Leasing Co. Tina does more of the paperwork these days and the “behind

but we’ve always managed to be on the same page and help each other through.”
Inspired by the 1992 Summer Olympics, special education teacher

Kara Lubin used the universal dream of becoming a gold medalist to
inspire her hard-to-motivate students. That year, The 100 Mile Club®
was born from a simple idea – run 100 miles within the school year and earn a
gold medal. The 100 Mile Club® teaches children how to exercise safely, and instill fun and healthy habits that will last
a lifetime. Physical activity is important to children’s health and learning. For children, physical activity is linked to
improved readiness to learn, better educational outcomes, and improved health.
The 100 Mile Club® quietly evolved over 13 years in Kara’s classroom. Not only did her students consistently score higher
on physical fitness tests than their peers, they also showed improved attendance and behavior. In 2006, the program went
viral and began to reach all students throughout the Corona/Norco School District and beyond. In 2008 The 100 Mile
Club® became a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
This year The 100 Mile Club® has grown to serve over 18,000 students in 102 schools
all over California and throughout the country! Growing out of her living room in
November 2010, Kara moved into a small office space and in February hired her first 100 Mile Club

Dr. Coracel T. Johnson, the beauty, the brain and

are when they leave her office.

loyal referring patients. It is an extraordinary dental experience for the whole
family, a place where you will feel to be a patient for life.
An innovator by nature, business ownership is in Dr. Johnson’s genes.

Her family owns businesses in her native country of the Philippines.
Her mother taught her profit and resourcefulness, while her father
taught her the importance of compassion in business. Dr. Johnson says
“to run a business you need to have both a heart and a brain to make it
in this economy." When Dr. Johnson began to see changes in dentistry,
she knew she had to be a part of them.
The days of heavyhanded dentistry were destined to be a thing of the

past. She underwent massive surgery and dental reconstruction at the
age of 13 which made her fear dentists. After this fearful and painful
experience at an early age, she made it her mission in life to lessen
people's fear and anxiety with dental treatment. As a result, Dr. Johnson
has turned Parkridge Dental Spa into a place of comfort with Dentists
who care. She looks to connect with everyone from her youngest fearful
patient, to the most anxious elderly patient. By staying ahead of the
trends and technology in her field, Dr. Johnson has managed to make a
trip to the dentist a far less painful experience and comparable to a
"Resort Spa” visit for everyone.
Dr. Johnson knows the importance of giving back to the community and
to her devoted staff. Satisfied customer referrals are the bulk of Parkridge
Dental Spa’s business. She regularly gives hygiene presentations for
Corona’s schools and is a the Diabetics Spokesperson for several health
centers. She is a member of several prestigious dental organizations and
hosts local seminars on the importance of dental hygiene during
pregnancy, for cancer and kidney transplant patients and participates in
health care awareness day for local and big businesses in Corona.
The pretty, hip and fashion-loving, tri-athlete dentist says her facility is
for the Greater Corona Valley community. She wants women to know
that in life there is nothing impossible. You can always achieve your
dreams, thru hard work, perseverance and compassion for humanity.
Dr. Johnson says being successful is “When you can wake up and tell
yourself today is another day closer to accomplishing your dreams and
goals. That is SUCCESS, because you’ve conquered your biggest
obstacle and biggest fear, which is self-negativity that tries to haunt
and stop you every day.”

First Annual KMJ
Diabetes Event

Jacki McCray, mother of Cynthia Becker, and owner of Hairs 2 U in

Norco and Studio 4 Salon in Riverside, has been doing hair for 35
years. Cynthia was raised her whole life not only learning to do hair,
but loving it. Jacki taught her that styling is not just about the job,
it’s about building relationships with your clients. Together they
have watched their clients grow up, get married, have babies, move
away, get ill, and lose loved ones. They take their jobs very seriously.

produce insulin (a hormone that aids in
moving sugar from the blood to the cells).
This type of diabetes can be due to a virus
or autoimmune disorder in which the
body does not recognize an organ as its
own and attacks it. In this case, the body
attacks an organ known as the pancreas,
where insulin is made. Insulin is a
hormone that is needed to convert sugar,
starches and other food into energy needed
for daily life. Only 5% of people with
diabetes have this form of the disease.
With the help of insulin therapy and other
treatments, even young children with type
1 diabetes can learn to manage their con-
dition and live long, healthy, happy lives.
Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to

take insulin injections to move sugar from
the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is
usually diagnosed before age 40. Type 1
diabetes can affect many major organs in
your body, including your heart, blood
vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys.

Living with diabetes is challenging. The diabetic patient must pay

As on any journey, one must consider the following factors below: new chapter in your life.

goal weight based on height and age, or consult a personal trainer.
2) Have a Nutrient Plan: Increase your protein to help boost
metabolism and keep your muscle mass. Keep up on water intake –
6-8 glasses per day, depending on your activity. Get good sources of
protein, low fat milk, lean red meat, poultry, fish and egg whites.
You may need to increase calcium and vitamin D for bone health.
Also look at your daily fiber intake for intestinal health. Adjust your
sodium intake. Consult a doctor if you are not sure.
3) Add Resistance Training: Go slow if you are new to weight
training. This enables your body to increase strength in tendons and
joints, as well as muscle, progressively to reduce the chance of injury.
See your doctor if you have preexisting health conditions. Consult a
personal trainer to help you get started and make sure you have
proper form. Muscles burn more calories than fat even at rest,
increasing metabolism. They also support your spine, and keep you
strong for daily activities. Women typically lift too light of a weight,
so make it challenging to get better results. Lifting weights also helps
your bone density. Women who develop muscle easily should
emphasize high intensity exercises. Women who develop muscle
slowly should lift heavy more often.
4) Add Some Medium to High Intensity Work for Your Heart:
Do a 10-20 minute workout that alternates short intense bursts of
activity with moderate exertion recovery periods. This helps to improve
overall fitness, burns fat, and stimulates hormones for a stronger body.
Cardiovascular work is an important part of a comprehensive program,
as heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. Choose some-
thing you like so you don’t put it off! Mix it up every now and then to
keep it motivating. Take into account your physical condition; if you
have joint problems or other issues, choose a low impact activity.
Know your heart rate range: 220-age=X, and X multiplied by 70%
(medium work), 80% (medium-hard), and 90% (hard).
