Chino's Hidden Treasure: Clark'sNutrition

Use of Electronic Wireless Devices (AB 1785, Quirk): Driving a motor vehicle while holding and operating a hand-held wireless telephone or a wireless electronic communica-tions device will be prohibited, unless the device is mounted on a vehicle’s windshield or is mounted/affixed to a vehicle’s dashboard or center console in a manner that does not hinder the driver’s view of the road.

DMV Reminds Motorists of New LawsThe driver’s hand may only be used to activate or deactivate a feature or function on the de-vice with the motion of a single swipe or tap of the driver’s fin-ger, but not while holding it. The law does not apply to manufac-turer-installed systems that are embedded in a vehicle.

Did You Know?

By StatePoint

Did you get carried away with the holiday spirit this past season? On the heels of hefty spending, the New Year is the best time to take stock of per-sonal finance habits and make beneficial changes for the year ahead. Here are some useful tips and tricks to spend and save wisely in 2017.

Think Long-Term: Don’t ne-glect the future. It’s never too early to save for retirement. In fact, the sooner you start, the better off you will be. Invest through a company-sponsored plan if possible. If not, look into IRAs that can help you grow your wealth exponentially.

Create Categorized Funds: Consider the 52-week sav-ings challenge. In the first week, save $1, followed by $2 the second week, all the way through week 52, when you put aside $52. Sticking to this plan results in $1,378 saved at the end of the year, as well as any interest you’ve earned. Cre-ating a savings account for a specific purpose is a perennial-ly sound savings strategy. Look for banks that are fee friend-ly, such as Ally Bank Member FDIC, ally.com, which allows you to open an Online Savings or Money Market account with no minimum and no month-ly maintenance fee. You can deposit money easily through e-check deposit, direct deposit and you’ll earn interest com-pounded daily on your savings. In addition, putting this money in a separate account allows you to track your spending against the account balance.

Use Shopping Apps: It is in-credibly easy to save money

Did You Spend More Than You Intended To?

Our Life: If Not Today Then When?

By Michael Armijo

I've learned many things about life from people who have passed away. For exam-ple: I had a friend who always did something each weekend. He was always somewhere. During football season my Sunday excitement was to call him and ask: "where are you?" He'd always respond with an event or a sports bar that I've never heard of or someplace that I would ad-mire. I had another friend who would always reach for the stars and push himself to the limit. He would continue to pursue bigger dreams and expect himself to step up and reach for things other people didn't have the ability to do. He passed away living in the city he loved and with the a family that cherished. I had another friend who was fairly fearful of change. I used to encourage him constantly to reach for things that he felt he didn't deserve but to first feel as though he deserved those things. He reached for some things but he was too fearful to reach for others. But his priority was to love his family and take care of them and be a good father. So the things I felt he deserved were different than what he felt he wanted out of life. He passed away with a loving family around him.

Now what hurts more, al-though his death is many years in the past, is the death of my father. He was deprived but still made a living. he pur-sued what he thought was the responsible thing and his

philosophies were mild and simple. He reached for secu-rity and safety. Unfortunately, he could only talk about the things he wanted. He spoke of doing things he desired to do, always falling short of his goals Out of fear. He passed before his time and he passed willingly, as he felt he was done here on earth.

So I've learned that there are no limits in life. I've learned that if you want something you will get it only if you real-ly want it. I've learned that the only limits there are in life are the limits we place upon our-selves. And I've learned that the only things we will ever get are the things we try to reach for today, and not to wait for tomorrow. Because tomorrow just may never come. Tomor-row didn't come for my father and for my friends.

So today, as I travel 50 miles away from my home for the first of many one-hour singing lessons, I am proud. Because these are lessons that I put off all my life out of fear that I may not be able to sing. I postponed because I constantly try to convince my-self that "I don't have enough time." But today I am fearless. I choose to no longer wait for life to come to me but instead for me to go to life. I pride myself for no longer suffering from the losses I've incurred, but instead I choose to learn from them.

Today I choose to chase my dreams, today I choose not to wait, and today I choose to be fearless. Because today I ask a simple yet serious question: "If not today then when?

By History.com

On this day in 1493, Ital-ian explorer Christopher Co-lumbus, sailing near the Do-minican Republic, sees three “mermaids”–in reality mana-tees–and describes them as “not half as beautiful as they are painted.” Six months earli-er, Columbus (1451-1506) set off from Spain across the Atlan-tic Ocean with the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, hoping to find a western trade route to Asia. Instead, his voyage, the first of four he would make, led him to the Americas, or “New World.”

Mermaids, mythical half-fe-male, half-fish creatures, have existed in seafaring cultures at least since the time of the an-cient Greeks. Typically depict-ed as having a woman’s head and torso, a fishtail instead of legs and holding a mirror and comb, mermaids live in the ocean and, according to some legends, can take on a human shape and marry mortal men. Mermaids are closely linked to sirens, another folkloric figure, part-woman, part-bird, who live on islands and sing seductive songs to lure sailors to their deaths.

Mermaid sightings by sail-ors, when they weren’t made up, were most likely manatees, dugongs or Steller’s sea cows (which became extinct by the 1760s due to over-hunting). Manatees are slow-moving aquatic mammals with hu-man-like eyes, bulbous faces and paddle-like tails. It is like-ly that manatees evolved from an ancestor they share with the elephant. The three species of manatee (West Indian, West African and Amazonian) and one species of dugong belong to the Sirenia order. As adults,

Laws from page 1

DMV reminds motorists of new laws effective Jan. 1, 2017the Consumer Automotive Re-call Safety (CARS) Act, and requires the DMV to include a general advisory regarding ve-hicle recalls and needed repairs on each vehicle registration re-newal notice. This law prohibits a dealer or a rental car company from renting or loaning a vehicle with a manufacturer’s recall no later than 48 hours after receiv-ing the notice—until the vehicle has been repaired. This law gives a limited exception for a licensed dealer or a rental car company with a fleet of 34 or fewer loaner or rental vehicles. The law au-thorizes the DMV to suspend or revoke a vehicle dealer’s license if they violate the CARS Act.

Year of Manufacture Li-cense Plates (SB 1429, Niel-sen): This law expands the Year of Manufacture (YOM) license plate program to include vehi-cles and license plates manu-factured through 1980. This law benefits owners of vintage mo-tor vehicles who obtain license plates from the year corre-sponding to the vehicle’s mod-

el-year, and wish to use those vintage plates in lieu of regular license plates. Such plates are commonly found from different sources, including relatives, ga-rage sales, estate sales, etc. The program will include the blue and yellow license plates issued for use on California motor vehicles from 1970 until 1980.

Background Checks of Drivers of Transportation Network Companies (AB 1289, Cooper): A transporta-tion network company (TNC) will be required to perform a comprehensive background check of all their drivers. This law also specifies penalties for a TNC that violates or fails to comply with this requirement. A TNC will be prohibited from contracting with, employing, or retaining a driver if they are registered on the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice National Sex Offender public website, has been convicted of specified felonies, or within the previous seven years, has been convict-ed of a misdemeanor assault

or battery, domestic violence, or driving under the influence of al-cohol or drugs. Any TNC in viola-tion of the specified requirements is subject to a penalty of not less than $1,000 or more than $5,000 for each offense.

Installing Counterfeit or Nonfunctional Air Bags (AB 2387, Mullin): This law pro-hibits knowingly and intention-ally manufacturing, importing, installing, reinstalling, distrib-uting, or selling any device in-tended to replace an air bag system in any motor vehicle if the device is a counterfeit or nonfunctional air bag system, or does not meet federal safe-ty requirements. The law also prohibits selling, installing, or reinstalling any device that would cause a vehicle’s diag-nostic system to fail to warn when the vehicle is equipped with a counterfeit, nonfunction-al, or a case in which no air bag was installed. This violation is a misdemeanor punishable by a $5,000 fine and/or up to a one year in county jail. ■

Motorcycle Lane Splitting (AB 51, Quirk): This law defines “lane splitting” as driving a two-wheeled motorcycle between rows of stopped or moving ve-hicles in the same lane. The law authorizes the California High-way Patrol (CHP) to develop educational guidelines relating to lane splitting in a manner that would ensure the safety of motorcyclists, drivers, and pas-sengers. In developing these guidelines, the law requires the CHP to consult with specified agencies and organizations that have an interest in road safety and motorcyclist behavior.

UPDATE

Lee worked as a camp counsel-or at a Boy Scout Camp in Cedar Glen, in San Bernardino Coun-ty, during the summer months of 2015. The victim attended the same camp during June of 2015 when he was allegedly assaulted by Lee at the camp. Detectives conducted a lengthy investigation and numerous interviews of persons who at-tended or worked at the camp during that time frame. Follow-ing that investigation, an arrest warrant for Sean Lee was ob-tained on December 30th, 2016,

for the charges of PC 288a(b)(1), oral copulation of a minor, and PC 286(f), sodomy of an uncon-scious victim. Lee surrendered to the San Bernardino Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department Chi-no Hills Station on January 1, 2017, and was subsequently booked at the West Valley De-tention Center.

Lee’s bail was set for $100,000. At approximately 2108 hours, Lee was released from WVDC after posting bail. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is releas-ing Lee’s booking photograph in the event other camp staff or attendees witnessed Lee en-gaged in unlawful behavior. ■

2017? Effective Jan. 1, 2017, the sales and use tax rate dropped in California one-quar-ter of 1 percent, from 7.50 per-cent to 7.25 percent. The lower tax rate is good news for con-sumers and the result of the par-tial expiration of Proposition 30, a 2012 initiative that sought higher income and sales taxes.

Shoppers in some cities may pay more than 7.25 percent be-cause of local sales taxes high-er than the state rate. If you bought something before Jan. 1 and need to return it, the store must provide you with a refund for the old tax rate. And if you bought something before Jan. 1 that wasn’t delivered until after

the New Year, the old tax rate remains applicable. Retailers should adjust their operations to charge the current 7.25 per-cent sales tax starting January 1, 2017, unless a higher sales tax is present in their area. A re-tailer who continues to charge and collect the higher statewide sales and use tax after January 1, 2017, must either refund the excess tax collected to their customer or pay the excess tax to the Board of Equalization (BOE). If the excess tax collect-ed has been paid to the BOE, the retailer may request a re-fund on behalf of their customer by completing form BOE-101, Claim for Refund or Credit.

For merchandise delivered after January 1, 2017, the ap-plicable sales and use tax rate

is the rate that is in effect at the time the sale occurs. Gener-ally, the sale occurs when the merchandise is delivered to the customer, unless the sales con-tract specifically states that title to the merchandise passes to the customer prior to delivery.

With returned merchandise, the customer should be re-funded the amount of tax at the rate that was charged and collected from the customer at the time of the original sale.

As your taxpayer advocate it is my number one priority to serve you and make California a golden state! ■

tspPreparation:Preheat oven and roast brocco-

li. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place brocco-li florets on a baking sheet. Toss with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until crispy and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Microwave sweet potatoes. Meanwhile, prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Put on a plate and microwave on high until very tender, about 10 minutes.

Sear chicken While broccoli and sweet potatoes cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken all over

with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook until browned and no longer pink in center, about 5 min-utes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.

Make glaze. Add balsamic vine-gar to pan and simmer until thick-ened but not completely evaporat-ed, 1-2 minutes. Add 3 tsp maple syrup (we sent more) and simmer until very thick and sticky, about 1 minute. Add ½ TBSP butter and stir until melted. Return chicken to pan and toss to coat.

Split sweet potatoes. Split sweet potatoes down the middle and season with salt and pepper. Top each half with ½ TBSP butter and sprinkle with a pinch of sweet and smoky spice blend (to taste). Lightly mash with a fork to incor-porate.

Serve. Arrange sweet potatoes on plates with chicken and broc-coli. Drizzle over any remaining glaze.

Don’t have time for in-tensive skin care? You can still pamper yourself by acing the basics. Good skin care and healthy life-style choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent var-ious skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect yourself from

the sunOne of the most im-

portant ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

For the most complete sun protection:

Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you›re swimming or perspiring.

Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun›s rays are strongest.

Wear protective cloth-ing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

2. Don’t smokeSmoking makes your

skin look older and con-tributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the

skin of oxygen and nutri-ents that are important to skin health.

Smoking also damag-es collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin strength and elastic-ity. In addition, the repet-itive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.

If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.

3. Treat your skin gen-

tlyDaily cleansing and

shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:

Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.

Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.

Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave

in the direction the hair grows, not against it.

Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.

Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains SPF.

4. Eat a healthy dietA healthy diet can help

you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn’t clear — but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.

5. Manage stressUncontrolled stress

can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encour-age healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Set reason-able limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.

2017 The Magic Year

I was given that Lionel train when I was very young. I re-member playing with that train with my father and grandfather. Now, that same train was being enjoyed again by my grandchil-dren and their grateful grandfa-ther! I wonder if you have some treasures hidden in your garage? You may have some model air-planes or some wood working tools. Maybe there is a stamp or coin collection? Maybe there are some hobbies from your past that would interest others. It may be a little late for Christmas, but let me encourage you to take the time to get those boxes down and share some memories with the younger members of your family. They will be glad you did and you will too!

Little Red CabooseBy: Mark Hopper

O u r grandchi l -dren have learned a lot of songs from my wife. She

has a song for just about every occasion and the grand kids love them. One of those songs is about a little Red Caboose that is pulled along behind a train. This Christmas the grand kids got to see this first hand. My daugh-ter encouraged me to get the box down from the garage that contained my old Lionel train so I could show it to the grand-children. I didn't know if it would even work. We actually found two trains in the box. One was lighter and is made of plastic. The older one is much heavier and is made from metal. The track was slightly corroded and discolored when we laid it out on the floor. I used a rag to try to

clean it up a little. The transform-er control for the heavier train did not work. The wires were brittle and old. But the transformer for the lighter train worked and soon the little Red Caboose was being pulled behind the train!

I looked on the internet and found a model train store in Cos-ta Mesa on Baker Street. When I brought the old heavy engine and transformer in for repair, I was delighted to learn that it could be fixed at little cost. The store owner lubricated the engine and verified that it was in good con-dition. I left the transformer at the train store and purchased a tool so I could properly clean the track at home. A few days later, we picked up the transformer and put the train track around the Christmas Tree. We were ready to send the locomotive down the track pulling a little Red Ca-boose! The grandchildren were delighted and their grandpa was pretty proud that his childhood train was back in service.

Straight Talk With Danice

By Danice Akiyoshi, N.D.

Q: I have a friend who is very controlling. Every time we get together, we have to eat where she wants to eat, and see the movie that she wants to see. If I say we did it her way the last few times and make a sugges-tion, she gives me the silent treatment. Every time this hap-pens, I tell myself to never go

out with her again, but when she calls I cave in and do what she wants. I re-

ally do like her company most of the time. I’m weak, I know. I need help! Thanks in advance.

A: You are obviously easy going, and that’s a good trait, but in this case it’s causing you to feel taken for granted. It would be a good idea to set up a fair system with your friend. Continuous feelings of being taken for granted will

eventually diminish your self esteem. I think expanding your friendship base would also be a good idea.

Through a swift inves-tigation using witness interviews, the officers were able to locate the two suspects at a motel in Po-mona, Ca. The two suspects had multiple outstanding warrants for their arrest.

Subsequently, search warrants were served to both motels in Chino and Pomona. Officers lo-cated over 40 counterfeit driver’s licenses and over 100 counterfeit credit cards along with several computers and printers used to print counterfeit driver’s licenses and credit cards.

Both suspects are charged with possession of ten or more persons’ identity with the intent to commit identity theft, and possession of an embossing machine with the intent to com-mit identity theft, along with oth-er identity theft related charges.

The initial investigation has identified fifty separate identi-ty theft victiwms. Investigators expect to identify more victims as the investigation continues. This identity theft operation was complex and included the use of sophisticated technolo-gy.

“Being the victim of identity theft is very frustrating and time consuming. The Chino Police De-partment is committed to seeking out these types of criminals, shut-ting down their operation, and making sure they are prosecut-ed.” – Lieutenant Kevin Mensen

Foods Market is a rare find in the natural foods industry. If you haven’t discovered this amazing store yet, it is worth your time to investigate.

Marketing Director, Mike Barnett says, “Often people will tell us that they’ve heard of Clarks and they think it’s just another supplement shop, but once they walk inside our Chi-no store, they get what all the fuss is about.”

Clark’s stores not only have a huge selection of supple-ments (their Chino location has one of the largest supplement sections in the entire country), but they have a wide variety of organic grocery items, com-plete with gluten-free sections, including Vegan and Vegetari-an options, as well as a large selection of organic produce.

Want to get a free make-over with natural, cruelty-free

make-up too? No problem, Clark’s has a make-up section that looks like something you’d see at a MAC make-up counter. Clark’s is the only retail partner with actress, Suzanne Somers, to offer her organic cosmetics and skin care line, SUZANNE Organics.

Clark’s is a pioneer in the health food world. They opened the doors of their first location in Riverside in 1972, long before health food became vogue. To-day there are stores in Riverside, Loma Linda, Rancho Mirage and now Chino.

But have you ever been to a “health foods” store before and felt overwhelmed or weren’t sure where to start? Have you felt the opposite, like you knew more than the employee? Have no fear, Clark’s knows how refreshing it is to speak with health food store employees that know their stuff and are willing to share their knowledge.

The Clark’s slogan is,

“Live better, we can help.” How does Clark’s actually help people you ask? Clark’s has made their business thrive on helping to educate people about their health. Starkie Sow-ers, the Director of Education at Clarks says, “We have Nu-tritional Consultants at Clarks. These employees go through our 5 level in-house training program. It takes about 3 ½ years to get to a Level 5 at Clarks.” Clark’s takes education about health seriously. These knowledgeable (non-commis-sion) Nutritional Consultants are one of the keys to why people love Clarks so much.

Clark’s is a great find for any-one looking to improve their health. They have competitive pricing, knowledgeable staff, a great product selection and a beautiful Chino location close to home.

with a little online research. With a few minutes effort, you’ll find discount codes, loyalty pro-grams or cashback websites that track your purchases and reward you for the extra step of navigating through their shop-ping portal instead of going straight to the big name retail-ers’ websites.

Reap Rewards: While no personal finance expert would advocate running up cred-it card bills one can’t afford,

Know from page 2savvy consumers know how to take advantage of credit card reward programs for ho-tel points, airline miles or just straight cash in their pockets. “Use credit cards that reward you for the things you buy the most,” says Diane Morais, chief executive officer and president of Ally Bank, the direct banking subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc.

There are often offers for opening a new credit card with a minimum spend, such as the Ally CashBack Credit Card, which provides a $100 bonus when you make $500 in eligi-ble purchases during the first

three billing cycles, and offers two percent cash back at gas stations and grocery stores, and one percent cash back on all other purchases -- as well as 10 percent bonus on rewards that are deposited into an el-igible Ally Bank account. If you don’t want to open a new account, check your current credit cards for promotions or cash back offers, which can add up quickly on everyday purchases.

With a little homework, savvy consumers can make 2017 the year they spend strategically and save more.
