Mr. Las Vegas Wayne Newton Feature

Mr Las Vegas at tge Aqua Caliente

By “JB” Griffin, Publisher SBM

Recently we had the chance to experience Wayne up close and

personal at the Aqua Caliente Resort & Casino at The Show in

Rancho Mirage. Let me just say that The “Fig” as I call him the

Legend Wayne Newton, his beautiful wife and Musicians put on a

show worth attending reflecting on his brilliant career

spanning 6 decades As a kid growing up in So Cal I recall seeing

Wayne Newton for the time on the Ed Sullivan show singing his hit

song Danke Schoen which was orginally supposed to be a Bobby

Darin release. Wayne said that It was Bobby Darin who gave the

his right to Danka Schoen so that Wayne Newton could take the

song as his own which became the Hallmark of Newtons early

singing career of which included 165 Albums, That’s alot of albums.

Wayne Newton is an American Icon and if you get the chance to

see the Wayne up close and personal perfomance it’s worth every

penny.

Huntington Beach gives Beach Boys member Brian

Wilson a surf-city paddle out

Article by Chris MacDonald

Legendary Beach Boys member Brian Wilson, who recently passed away at 82 years young, was

honored with a surfing tradition, a paddle out next to Huntington Beach Pier.

Organized by Visit Huntington Beach and International Surfing Museum the event drew hundreds of

fans and even some famous people like Dean Torrence (of Jan & Dean), who co-wrote songs and

performed with The Beach Boys.

Another icon known as Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum Executive Director Peter PT

Townend said: “It was an honor to be Master of Ceremonies of the Brian Wilson celebration of life

at the Huntington Beach Pier, his penning of the song ‘Surf City’ with Jan Berry of Jan & Dean fame

which became HB’s theme song and to have Dean Torrance at the beach Saturday to tell the story

of how the song came about was priceless.” Iconic musician Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean said:

“It’s a great day to be in Surf City USA.”

Huntington Beach Mayor Pat Burns said: “The Brian Wilson (of The Beach Boys) celebration of life

and paddle-out event was incredible. Don Ramsey did an amazing job putting that together. I grew

up listening to them and can sing 90% of their songs. As I stated at the ceremony, it is the first album

I remember after my mom’s Englebert Humperdink and Tom Jones records!!! I was way too young

to have heard them when they played in HB. Great event!”

Huntington Beach Mayor Pro Tem Casey McKeon said: “One of the all-time classic and timeless

bands in history. Their music transcends all age groups and genres and brings a smile to your face

every time you hear a Beach Boy’s song. We are very proud of their connection and contribution to

Huntington Beach, Surf City USA and we know they will carry on that legacy forever.”

Former Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum Vice Chair Bob Slater said: “Listening to

the Beach Boys, as I was walking on the pier in honor of Brian Wilson gave me goosebumps and

brought me back to my childhood days and my teens. My young adults and my older adult ages

filled me up life without the beach. Boys would not be the life I’ve loved living.”

Congratulations to President Elect Donald J. Trump serving his second Term as the

47th President of the USA

Prayers for America and our chosen leaders as we turn the page to an exciting new chapter

in our USA History with Donald J. Trump as our President again for the next four years. Like

Rudoph the Reindeer he will surely go down in History for his tireless work to Keep America

Great !

And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and

take your rest in safety. - Job 11:18


By Olivia B. Waxman

Updated: November 6, 2024 10:14 AM EST | Originally published: November 16, 2022 4:18 PM EST

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election will make him the 47th president of the United States—and

only the second President ever to serve two nonconsecutive terms. The Republican also served as the 45th

president of the United States from 2017 to 2021.

The win comes two years after he announced his run for re-election, after the 2022 midterms, when

Republicans regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives. “America’s comeback starts right now,”

the real estate mogul and reality TV star told the audience on Nov. 15, 2022, at his Palm Beach, Fla.,

private club Mar-a-Lago. Trump, who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election and has refused to

acknowledge he lost that contest, referred to his time out of office as just a “pause.”

Trump is not the first President to launch a comeback campaign. A handful of presidents tried to get back

into the White House and failed. Some examples include Martin Van Buren in 1844 and 1848;

Millard Fillmore in 1856; Ulysses S. Grant in 1880, in the era before term limits and four years after serving

a second term; and Teddy Roosevelt in 1912, with the third-party Progressive Party, after losing the

Republican nomination.

But Democrat Grover Cleveland has been, so far, the only president to actually serve nonconsecutive terms,

from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897, according to the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, which

specializes in presidential scholarship. Both were first defeated in their bids for a second consecutive term,

and historians say that Trump faced a tougher political environment when mounting his comeback than

Cleveland did.

Stephen “Grover” Cleveland—also known as “Big Steve” and “Uncle Jumbo”—wasn’t planning on running

again as soon as he left office. He lost the 1888 presidential election to Republican Benjamin Harrison

amid allegations of voting irregularities—and despite winning the popular vote.

According to Louis Picone, author of Grant’s Tomb and spokesperson for the Grover Cleveland Presidential

Library in New Jersey, Cleveland enjoyed fishing at his house in Cape Cod and spending time with his new

wife and his daughter Ruth.

35 / SBM / 2025

Similar to Trump, Cleveland made his decision to run again after the midterm elections. He saw an opening

after what Picone describes as a “bloodbath” for Republicans. Supporters of Cleveland started encouraging

him to run after the 1890 midterms, which they viewed as a repudiation of President Harrison.

By contrast, the 2022 election “really wasn’t this ‘Red Wave’ that was predicted,” Picone says. Many

have viewed that election as a repudiation of Trump-backed Republican nominees.

Congress under the Harrison Administration was nicknamed the “billion dollar Congress” because it was

the first time that a billion dollars in federal dollars was spent. Cleveland was a fiscal conservative, dedicated

to lowering tariffs, solidifying the gold standard, and reducing public spending. During the Gilded

Age, when corruption in politics was rampant, Cleveland had the reputation of representing honesty in

politics.

Cleveland didn’t have to campaign very hard, easily winning his party’s nomination. Backlash to high

tariff policies and a wave of violent labor strikes at silver mines in the summer of 1892 made voters think

Harrison didn’t have enough of a handle on economic policy.

However, he didn’t have an easy time of it when he was back in office. The Panic of 1893—the worst

economic depression America faced at that point—colored his legacy. But towards the end of his life, “he

regained stature as an elder statesman and a throwback to an earlier time,” says Picone.

Whether Trump is able to follow Cleveland’s success in 2024 remains to be seen—but he faces substantial

political headwinds at the moment. Cleveland was broadly welcomed back by the Democratic Party, and

was thought to be the most electable candidate.

Despite this history, there is no precedent for the kind of comeback Trump represents—not least because

he is also the first former President to become a convicted felon. At Trump’s victory party, his Vice President-elect

J.D. Vance declared, “We just witnessed the greatest political comeback in American history.”


Rincon Point Feature

By “JB” Griffin aka Izzy Insider Senior Surfer

If you grew up Surfing in California you have probably either heard of or have paddled out at Rincon

Point in Santa Barbara, CA just a few miles South of Carpinteria another famous surf spot if you are a

beginner surfer or just prefer small waves. Back to Rincon Point. Take Highway 101 North to Bates road

exit North of Oxnard, CA and the Coastal homes along Rincon. After exiting Bates you will go under

the Freeway bridge to a public parking spot where you can pack on the wetsuit and unleash the Boards

and hit the trail for about a 10-15 minute walk to Rincon Point. Rincon Point has the perfect wave that is if

it’s breaking . If it’s breaking you can bet the local surfers will be there in the lineup. I’ve surfed Rincon at

least 3 times in my life. I must say it’s a bucket list place to paddle out and hopefully catch a few waves.

According to the CDC, approximately 71 million American adults

have elevated levels of LDL (‘bad cholesterol’). High LDL

cholesterol is one factor that may increase risk for heart disease.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and

accounts for about 600,000 deaths each year according to the

national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other

factors that raise the risk of heart disease include older age,

diabetes, a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure,

lack of exercise, obesity, or are a smoker. Often when all these

factors are taken into considerations physicians may prescribe

statin drugs. The use of statin drugs has increased sharply in the

past several years and they are now among the most widely

prescribed medicines in the U. S. According to the National

Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 22% of Americans 45

years and older take a statin drug and as a class, statins and their

related combination products generated $16.9 billion in U. S.

sales in 2012.

While they are quite popular, many people experience one or more of the

following side effects:

Headache

Rash

Diarrhea

Difficulty Sleeping

Drowsiness

Bloating or gas

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Dizziness

Flushing of the skin

Abdominal cramping or pain

Muscle aches, tenderness or weakness

(myalgia)

B E N E F I T S

Helps reduce LDL

(bad cholesterol)

levels.

Niacin increases HDL

(good cholesterol)

level

Plant sterols reduce

cholesterol

absorption, lowering

heart disease risk.

Niacin benefits the

nervous system,

digestion, and skin.

A natural option for

those who can't

tolerate statins.

FACTS

High Blood Pressure (BP) is often referred to as the “Silent Killer”

because you may feel fine, but it quickly sneaks up on you,

damaging your blood vessels without causing pain until it’s too late.

This disaster strikes in the form of a weakened heart, kidney, and

circulation problems that can wreak havoc in your heart, brain and

eyes.1

Elevated blood pressure (BP) or hypertension is a major risk factor

for a heart attack or stroke. It is generally regarded as the number

one most significant risk factor for stroke. More than 70 million

Americans (1 in 3) have high BP, including more than half (54.3%) of

all Americans 65 to 74 years of age and almost three-quarters (71.8%)

of all African Americans in the same age group.2 Of all the people

who have high Blood Pressure only about one half have it under

control.

ARE DRUGS THE ANSWER?

Drugs to lower BP are among the most commonly prescribed medicines in

the U.S. More than 678 million BP prescriptions were filled in 2010. All the

current classes of drugs possess significant side effects. One such study was

published in the esteemed journal, STROKE, shows that Blood Pressure

medications increased the risk of stroke by 248%. Another interesting fact –

the risk of stroke went up 33% with each additional Blood Pressure medicine

used.2

AT A GLANCE

BENEFITS

Supports Blood Pressure:

Helps maintain healthy

blood pressure levels.

Natural Ingredients:

Contains Olive leaf

extract and celery seed

for natural support.

Improves Blood Vessel

Health: Magnesium aids

in relaxing and keeping

blood vessels elastic.

Effective for Mild Cases:

Particularly beneficial for

those with mildly

elevated blood pressure.

Drugs such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, calciumchannel

blockers, beta blockers and diuretics are usually the drug of choice.

Often a trial-and-error approach is taken and sometimes one may be on 4 to

6 medications at once.

NUTRICLEANSE

Product Education

HIGH FIBER, NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

FOR COLON HEALTH

Many health professionals agree that most, if not all, major diseases start

in the colon. As we look back through a half century of Medical History, we

find that the so-called killer diseases of the day were the result of

infectious diseases such as diptheria, measles, polio, tuberculosis,

pneumonia, hepatitis and many varieties of chronic sepsis. No longer are

these the major health hazards.

The current major killer diseases are noninfectious rather than infectious,

with coronary heart disease (CHD), diverticular disease of the colon (DD),

large bowel cancer, lung tumors, gallstones, varicose veins, obesity and

diabetes listed as today's most troubling health problems.

All of these diseases have been related to diets which are characteristic of

economically developed countries. These countries have moved to a diet

low in starch and fiber and high in fat, sugar and highly refined foods. As

an example, in third world countries, some 70% of the body's energy is

provided by starch carbohydrates, food retaining its natural complement

of fiber. In these countries, fat provides only 10 -15% of the energy and

protein and is mostly of vegetable origin. In affluent societies, however, a

little over 40% of the body's energy is derived from carbohydrates and

approximately half of this is from sugar.

Fiber in the diet influences every stage of food consumption and

digestion. The removal of fiber from food reduces the necessity for

chewing and, thus, increases the rate of energy uptake. The sense of

satiety relative to energy consumption is reduced and, along with it, the

predisposition to over-nutrition with resultant obesity. The energy from

fiber rich foods is absorbed from the bowel more slowly. Some studies

have cited this reduced rate of energy absorption as a protection against

diabetes.


AT A GLANCE

BENEFITS

2.5 grams of cleansing

fiber per capsule.

8 grams of fiber per

serving of NutriCleanse

Powder.

Promotes healthy

elimination.

Helps maintain regularity.

Easily increases dietary

fiber and adds key

nutrients to support the

body’s natural elimination

process.

Supports the body’s

Chronic negative stress triggers extensive changes in the

body, affecting biochemical pathways including the

endocrine, nervous, and immune systems. This stressrelated

burden is substantial, with an estimated 75-90% of

primary care visits linked to stress effects. Stress also

accelerates aging by shortening telomeres, the DNA

molecule caps on chromosomes. When stress overwhelms

the body's homeostasis, harmful effects can persist long

after the stressful situation ends, leading to conditions

such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and

cognitive impairments.

W H A T A R E A D A P T O G E N S ?

Adaptogens are active ingredients naturally occurring in specific

plants, mushrooms and herbs that may impact how your body

deals with stress, anxiety and fatigue.

B E N E F I T S

Combats chronic stress

effects

Targets multiple

biochemical pathways

Enhances physiological

balance

Supports stress resilience

Prevents long-term damage

When consumed, these plants, herbs and mushrooms provide

adaptogenic actions that increase or decrease chemical reactions

that assist your body in coping with anxiety, stress, fatigue by

adapting to what your body needs. For example, if you’re stressed

(elevated cortisol), an adaptogen will respond by reducing cortisol

levels. If you experience chronic fatigue with low cortisol levels, an

adaptogen will increase the level of cortisol in your body. In other

words, Adaptogens bring your body back to a steady balance by

managing both physical and mental stressors to bring you back

into balance (homeostasis).

New Postmaster in Sunset Beach

Meet the new postmaster in Sunset Beach

By Chris MacDonald -August 14, 2025

If you notice a new face at the Sunset Beach Post Office, it’s because Postmaster Grace Romo is

retiring after a more than 40 year career with the postal service and Marisol Rivas is taking her

place. Rivas started working for the postal service in 1998 as a letter carrier in Covina, and after

10 years she became a Supervisor. She transferred to Buena Park, then Bell Gardens in 2022

where she was promoted to Postmaster.

“I love the atmosphere in Sunset Beach and was excited when I was offered the position of

Postmaster a month ago,” Rivas said. “I couldn’t be happier! I am looking forward to meeting the

Sunset Beach community and all who come here.”

Sunset Beach has no direct mail delivery so residents are required to obtain PO boxes at the Sunset

Beach office to receive their mail.
