Chino area fire officials issue safety ideas for 2010
With the start of the New Year, comes the opportunity for new resolutions. Chino Valley Fire District Fire Chief Paul Benson encourages every resident to include fire safety as part of their New Year's resolution for 2010. A good way to start the year fire safe is to create a home escape plan by drawing a map/floor plan of your home showing all windows and doors that can be used as emergency exits.
Mark all smoke detectors and identify two ex

(Free demo on "Embossed Stenciling" Sunday, Nov. 22. See below for details.)
I know there are a lot of people who would never dream of going into a thrift store. The used, discarded, and forgotten items that once held purpose and value to someone, now sit on old hangers or worn shelves. Throughout the years of wear and tear these things have become what others see as "just a bunch of junk". But I have to admit, when I pass through the doors of a thrift store, I actually get a heightened sense of anticipation a

Move Over Martha
Stencil embossing, also known as dimensional stenciling, is the technique of troweling a textural medium through a single overlay stencil (complete design on one stencil) to create a raised, or "embossed" print.
This may be a new craft procedure to you, but don"t be intimidated. It"s easy, inexpensive and the results are impressive. Use the plaster stenciling procedure to create fabulous designer looks on walls, over doorways

Introducing Move Over Martha
Let's face it. Martha has been given a bad rap. No, not that Martha! The other Martha. The Martha in the Bible...the one who was always distracted with "much serving". This actually meant SHE was the one who was always getting everything done around the house. But the truth is SOMEBODY has to do it! And the reality is it's an unending job. There is ALWAYS something to be done. She just needed a little help.

Hi! My name is Lyla. I can go home with you today.
UPDATE 10/20/09: We just checked with the IVHS & Lyla was adopted!
I am a 4yr old Spayed Female Pit Bull. I was originally adopted from IVHS a few months ago after I came to the shelter with a severely embedded collar. The great IVHS vet staff cleaned me up and I was then adopted into a new home. However, my new family decided they could not care for me so I have returned to the shelter. I am a staff favorite and have been waiting for my new f

FOUND DOG
Two weeks ago, I was on my way home from an appointment and noticed a medium sized dog running loose on Butterfield Ranch Road precariously close to the back tires of a bus. The dog looked confused and was panting heavily. It was hot. He was lost for sure.
A week before that, I spent two hours chasing a smaller puppy that was loose near the same Park (that I never caught), so I wasn't too keen on the idea of chasing a dog aroun

Man's best friend serves as model for understanding human social behavior
Editors note: We know there are a lot of dog lovers in Chino & Chino Hills so thought this would be a fun article to read...
Chimpanzees share many of our genes, but dogs have lived with us for so long and undergone so much domestication that they are now serving as a model for understanding human social behavior, according to a new paper.
Cooperation, attachment to people, understanding human verbal and non-verbal communications, and t

Advice from local organizer, Margie Cutter
More Time For Yourself/Friends And Family
When you live an organized life you get things done faster. You spend less time looking for lost things and more time with the people you love. Freeing up your time will also allow you to read that book you've been meaning to get to for the past year or taking that tennis class. We never get yesterday back. Make sure you get the most out of each day.

Most prefer when stores wish a "Merry Christmas"
You finish up a conversation and are about to walk away, but you just aren't sure what to say - "Happy holidays" or "Merry Christmas"?
But the Wish Me A Merry Christmas campaign - which has found its way to the Inland Valley - has made that question easier to answer.
Last year, workers for the grass-roots campaign handed out 100,000 buttons inscribed, "It's OK, wish me a Merry Christmas."

The discount is being offered through the district's Healthy Hearths program, AQMD spokesman Sam Atwood said.

Getting a cold furry shoulder
Here is my brown, black and cream colored cat ignoring every hiss and finger snap I make just so she could turn around and look at the camera. Nothin doin though. I swear I didn't do anything to warrant a cold furry shoulder. I think she's reading the ingredients on the bag to see if it passes inspection. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon and she's already getting vocal by meowing at me near her food. Sometimes she doesn't even eat and just leav

The hills are blooming
While driving along Grand Ave and Chino Hills Parkway this week, I just had to turn around and capture some flowers at peak bloom. I had been passing them up too many times, but not this time. The flowers, or pesky weeds are a nuisance sprouting in between your back yard bricks but are a nice local attraction growing by the millions in a field... They just call out to creative shutterbugs for a snapshot. You must beware though because busy bees a

Our forefathers could give us a clue to the true meaning of Thanksgiving and a nice family tradition as well.

Thanksgiving is said to have started as a celebration of peace between the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts and the Indians and to thank God for the bounty they had in their first harvest of 1621.
