MORENO VALLEY>> The City of Moreno Valley will be the focal point for a two-day event Sept. 16 and 17 as the Moreno Cultural Arts Foundation hosts its first annual Boundaries BashFest ’16 in an effort to redefine the perception of disabilities. BashFest is a combination of a free live concert, panel discussion, workshops and art exhibition on Sept. 17 starting at noon at the Stoneridge Towne Centre off Eucalyptus Avenue in Moreno Valley. BashFest will feature a number of incredible performers including Rachel Flowers, a blind keyboard virtuoso, Infinite Flow Wheelchair Dance Company, Grupo Folklorico Xhanat, the Adam Henry Band, ASL Cabaret, Joel Gaines, J Mike and Friends and the deaf hip hop phenom, Sean Forbes along with a number of other great performers. There will be a panel discussion at 1 p.m., Sept. 17 at the Vanguard Art Gallery, located at 27120 Eucalyptus Avenue, Suite G, Moreno Valley, CA 92555. The discussion will be moderated by LA Live Talk Radio host, Sheena Metal and several of the performers will be participating. On Sept. 16, Ryan Commerson, deaf film director of Beyond Inclusion starring Nyles Demarco will be presenting his film and hold a Q&A session at the Canyon Springs High School. That evening, a Meet and Greet Fundraiser at the Vanguard Art Gallery will be held complete with red carpet where people attending will get the full treatment of interviews, photos and can meet the performers along with dance to a DJ. The Meet and Greet promises to be a fun event and tickets are $25 and can be purchased on Eventbrite, Eventful, or on the website, http://www.boundariesbashfest.org or purchased at the door.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.
