Obris, A night of commitment, a lifetime of sight

Pay $0 Rewards Priceless
Southern California Logistics Airport, the City of Victorville, The Lions club and Orbis had a party tonight.
If you haven't heard about Orbis you should. It is the only ONLY Flying Eye Hospital in the world.
The City of Victorville has adopted Orbis. The Southern California Logistics Airport is performing a class B maintenance on the plane. The Lions Club is raising funds for it. Someone from Spring Valley lake donated $10,000.
Tonight there were about 500 people at one of the Hangers at the airport having a party and celebrating 25 years of orbis the brain Child of Dr David Patton. Live music, food from several of our great local restaurants and lots of fun.
A tour of the plane is impressive. The Program of the OFEH is even more impressive. Volunteers, non paid doctors on vacation man the plane as they can in it year long flight of healing and education. Put an underline on the word education. With the barage of cameras on board recording every operation and the student-doctors of that county able to ask questions while the procedure takes places. Orbis teaches local doctors the operation technicals that enable bringing sight to an otherwise blind person.
It is reported that 36,000,000 people in the world are blind. 75% of them are curable.

"OFEH boasts an OT, a recovery room, TV room, administrative room, engineering department. There are 16 cameras and 24 monitors on the plane, besides, state-of-the-art equipment like slit lamps, ret cam, yag lasers and argon lasers, etc. The team of experts consists of 11 ophthalmologists, two nurses, on orthoptist, on anaesthesiologist and one eye banking personnel. There is also a team of biomedical engineers. Interestingly, all of these personnel are from diversified nationalities giving a global feel."
Once again there was a spotlight on Victorville as our mayor spoke. It was good to visit SCLA which will become a powerhouse of the ecomony in the High Desert. I also got to view the Decommissioned 727 that was donated by Fed EX.

Apple Valley and Great Schools

Apple Valley Schools and Achieving Highest Accreditation
Apple Valley is a great place to live and it just got a little better.
My wife and daughter are both in the Apple Valley education system as teachers. So I hear things about WASC both good and bad. It is a tough standard to reach. It is one that takes time, united effort, vision and determination to succeed. So...
Apple Valley received an honor that only about 5% of the schools in the California school system enjoy. That is high!!
How do you get this award? A team of education from WASC and the California Department of Education come to your school and preform a three day site review. Part of what this accreditation is called is "Clear Six" which means that they do not have to have another review for six years.
So if you are thinking about moving to Apple Valley, come in the next six years while we have a good rating

Allied Conainer Systems won a 461.6 million firm fixed price to produce test , install and deliever Combined arms Military operations in Urban Terrain Training system to the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Commnd Marine Corps Aire Ground combat Center in 29 Palms Cal. 60% of the work will be performed at 29 Palms. Which is expected to be completed by the year 2010.
What is all this? Terrain similar to where our troups are fighting so the first time won't be the first time.
What impact on the area? Retail, Rental, investment are certainly to be impacted.

Disclose, Disclose the Realtor's Friend

Insurance, Zoning, Loans-disclose, disclose, disclose
What would be your bigger concern? Getting Sued because insurance won't cover a non permitted use of buildings on a property. Or Getting Sued because if the authorities found out the current use it would violate a zoning issue and put tenants out of the property. Or the fact that the loan on the property is going to not be income property on a triplex but rental on a sfr?
The Home is an R-1 residential. The issue is the suitable use of the property. It is 2200 sq ft and.... has two other building all permited. Well permitted but not for current use. The one was built as a studio(read that as a non sleeping area) the other was built and permitted as a work shop.
These additional units on the property have their own gas meter and their own electrical meter. So the Utilities signed off and the permits(I haven't seen the permits) signed off on them.
So here is the real estate nightmare: the building burns down. Can it be built again? and to what standards and use?

Oh Well if you have read this far, Read just a little more. It is the story of two homes on one lot. The first home had termits and the second none. The first home was tented and the second not. The First home killed all the termits and the second killed the occupant because somehow someone didn't know that vents of the first home were connected to the second.
You never know, even when you think you know.
What's your Story?

By the Way Disclosing does not take away your liability, it only reduces the sting.

A Real Estate Visit to Barstow

30 agents and six cars a forty minute travel and look at homes in Barstow. But more important was the Visit with Exit Desert Ocean Realty Russ Cahil. Russ has lived in Barstow for some time and he has sold new mobile homes and now does resales.
He showed us a zoning map of Barstow. Barstow is annexing county land. Barstow is building. In the next few years sleepy little Barstow will double its population.
Barstow has the best performing MacDonald's of anywhere in the nation.
If you want some pictures of Barstow take a look at local-ism on Active Rain.
Looking At the Zoning Map of Barstow, I am impressed with how many annexations are taking places. To name a few : Rimrock Annexation, West Barstow Annexation, Lynwood Road Annexation, Gee Annexation. There seems to be over 1100 Acres of annexation spread out through the area of Barstow.
Looking at it all, A question was asked of Rush Cahill. "Where is Town Center?" Oh Surprise , surprise- Town center is anything but in the center of this growing once sleepy little town.
