JURUPA HILLS DRAMA STUDENTS WILL PERFORM 'SLEEPY HOLLOW'
The Jurupa Hills High School Players of the Palace have come a long way since staging their first performance, “Sleepy Hollow,” in the campus foyer for the school’s inaugural Harvest Festival in 2010. Now the award-winning program will come full circle with a 15th anniversary celebration, debuting a new version of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” on Friday, Nov. 14 at Jurupa Hills’ state-of-the-art Palace of Fine Art Theatre.
The new version of the play was written by drama teacher and show director James Griffin, a Fontana High School Class of 1994 graduate, and will incorporate the elaborate sets, handcrafted costumes, and student-designed effects that Players of the Palace supporters have enjoyed over the years, the Fontana Unified School District said in a news release.
“I love Halloween and restaging ‘Sleepy Hollow’ is perfect for the season and celebration. There are so many versions of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ out there, but none of them were quite what I wanted, so I thought why not write my own version," Griffin said.
Jurupa Hills senior Matthew Lopez plays Ichabod Crane in “Sleepy Hollow,” his first starring role since joining the company as a freshman, when he was cast as Oz in the “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Lopez said the feeling of euphoria he felt on stage for the first time is what convinced him he was in the right place.
“I realized right away that I wanted to do this forever. I’m excited to be in ‘Sleepy Hollow’ because we’ve been talking about the anniversary since last year,” Lopez said.
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” will feature seven performances: Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Thursday, Nov. 20 at 5 p.m.; Friday Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.; and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Jurupa Hills High School is located at 10700 Oleander Avenue.

FONTANA TEEN ARRESTED AFTER RECKLESSLY RIDING ELECTRIC DIRT BIKE THROUGH MALL
A 15-year-old Fontana boy was taken into custody after recklessly riding an electric dirt bike through the Victoria Gardens Mall in Rancho Cucamonga on Nov. 8, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
At about 6:31 p.m., mall security reported a subject on an electric dirt bike at the Victoria Gardens Mall. Security personnel attempted to contact the rider, but he refused to comply and moved to another area of the property.
When deputies attempted to contact the rider, he drove at unsafe speeds, performed dangerous stunt maneuvers, made illegal turns, and nearly struck multiple pedestrians and motorists. His actions endangered pedestrians, motorists, and himself, the Sheriff's Department said.
As the rider traveled north through the mall, deputies stopped him and took him into custody after a brief struggle. He was wearing a helmet and face mask, which prevented visual identification until he was detained and determined to be a juvenile. The rider was transported to the Victoria Gardens Substation, where he was released to a parent. The electric motorcycle was impounded.
"The Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff’s Station reminds the public that electric bikes and off-highway motorcycles have an appropriate place for safe and lawful recreation, but they are not permitted on public roadways, in pedestrian areas, or on shared-use paths and trails. Reckless driving and the operation of illegal or off-highway vehicles will be enforced to ensure the safety of everyone in the community," the Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
