    Chino PD is Getting Ready to "Run for Russ"

    By Anthony Saude

    Chino- On February 1, eigh-teen years ago, Chino Police Officer Russ Miller, was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver. However, his fellow of-ficers have not forgotten him. Every year since his tragic passing the Chino Police Offi-cers Foundation has remained committed to keeping his mem-ory alive by hosting their annual “Run for Russ”, a 5K Run and Community Walk. More than 1000 attendees are expected to participate in this year's race which will be held on Saturday, February 3.

    Lt. Keith Bussard, a 25 year CPD veteran who came up through the ranks at roughly the same time that Officer Miller did, thinks it is remarkable how important it is that the commu-nity still shows their support for this event so many years later. When asked about the commu-nity's continued support, Bus-sard said “It speaks to how im-portant Russ Miller was to the Chino Police Department, the residents and the community here in the city of Chino."

    The entrance fee for partici-pants who register early is $25. All proceeds from the event go toward the Russ Miller Memo-rial Foundation. The founda-

    tion provides sponsorships to the local youth that allow them to participate in positive rec-reational activities within the community that they would oth-erwise not be able to participate in. Last year's event raised over $15,000 for the foundation. A CPD employee, who knew Offi-cer Miller during his time on the force, stated that “Russ was very active in the community and his life while he was with the department and he was an avid sports fan,”

    This year's event will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, February 3 and will begin at the Chino Civic Center on the corner of Chino and Central Avenues. To participate, register online at: http://racewire.com/register.php?id=3561. Same Day Reg-istration will also be available on the day of the event. For additional information and Reg-istration Forms, please visit the Run for Russ 5K page at www.chinopoa.org page or call 909-334-3062. This is a great com-munity event which includes a pancake breakfast by the Chino Kiwanis Club. Everyone is invit-ed to participate. So bring your family and friends out and show your support for the communi-ty by participating in this year's event. It will be a lot of fun and we hope to see you there. ■

    Walnut- Mt. San Antonio Col-lege will offer free financial aid assistance to area high school seniors and their parents during its annual “Cash for College” fair on Saturday, Feb. 3. The event will include three sessions starting at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.

    “This event is all about helping students fill out the necessary financial aid forms so that they don’t miss out on thousands of dollars that may be available to them,” said Mt. SAC Financial Aid Director Chau Dao.

    Cash for College provides hands-on assistance to col-lege-bound students and their parents in completing and filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) forms for the 2018-19 academic year. The event also helps students maxi-

    mize their financial aid prospects by meeting the March 2 priority financial aid filing deadline. As-sistance with the California Dream Act application will also be available. Filing applications early is recommended.

    Parents and students must bring a copy of students’ Social Security cards or permanent resident cards, and a 2016 federal 1040 tax return and W-2. If 2016 information is not available, a 2015 tax return may be used along with 2015 W-2 forms. The workshop informa-tion and assistance can be used to apply to any college, not just Mt. SAC.

    To make a reservation, visit the event website online at http://www.mtsac.edu/finan-cialaid/cashfair.html.

    Did You Know?

    By StatePoint

    A stroller is one of the most essential pieces of baby gear, typically needed right from the start and used for several years. However, with so many stroller varieties available and a wide range of features to con-sider, it can be hard to figure out which one is right for your family.

    Erin Varano, brand market-ing director at trusted baby and children gear manufactur-er Graco, offers these five key questions to consider when buying a stroller:

    Does the Stroller Meet Safe-ty Standards? Look for a stroll-er that has been certified by the Juvenile Products Manufac-turers Association (JPMA) to ensure it meets current safety standards. Also, do your re-search beforehand to make sure it hasn't been recalled. Avoid this question by buying from a reputable retailer.

    Does the Stroller Have an Adjustable Seat? Newborns need seats that recline to a near flat position until they have head control and can sit up on their own. Even for older babies or toddlers, a reclining seat is a plus for comfort. Make sure to check that the seat’s recline mechanism is easy-to-use and firmly locks into the recline po-sition.

    How Versatile is the Stroller? Single strollers with the ability to convert to a double are use-ful as well as practical. Look for a stroller that can grow with your family, such as the Graco Uno2Duo Stroller and Travel System. This new stroller is

    out-of-the-box ready for one child, but simply extends to ac-commodate two children.

    “We designed this stroller with a 5-inch extension so that it can easily transition from a single stroller to a double,” says Varano. “The extension adds room for a second seat and of-fers a platform for toddlers to ride along. A second seat or in-fant car seat gives parents add-ed functionality with a total of 22 ways to ride.”

    As an added benefit, the stroller features a multi-posi-tion reclining main seat that can convert to an infant bassinet or pram. This stroller is now exclu-sively available at Babies“R”Us.

    Can the Stroller Accommo-date Your Car Seat? An infant car seat and a stroller that come together are called a travel sys-tem. Buying a travel system is the simplest way to ensure stroller and infant car seat com-patibility. However, if they don’t come together, you can often buy an adapter that connects them. Keep this in mind as you choose these items.

    Is the Stroller Easy to Maneu-ver? Look for front wheels that swivel. This swivel action will make it easier to turn. Again, head to a store to test this fea-ture out in person. You should be able to easily push the stroll-er in a straight line using one hand. Brakes also play a part in maneuverability. You want brakes that are easy to operate even if you are wearing open-toed shoes.

    Finding the right stroller for your family requires research and testing. Investing the time beforehand and keeping key features top-of-mind during your search will make the pro-cess less overwhelming and hopefully lead you to your per-fect stroller match. ■

    5 Things to Consider When Buying a Stroller

    By Nef Cortez

    Housing affordability is greatly affected by the inter-est rate that one can secure when obtaining their loan. In-terest rates go up and down, and are largely influenced by forces that affect all markets: Supply and Demand. Due to the Great Recession of 2008, long term mortgage interest rates have been low for the past decade. Historically low interest rates have driven the market prices of homes to lev-els that exceed the high point of the housing market in 2006.

    One of the two main fac-tors that Federal Government affects the Supply side of the mortgage equation is by pur-chasing or selling Treasury bonds or mortgage backed securities (based on previ-ously originated home loans). When the Federal Govern-ment buys debt through this mechanism, it will either in-crease or reduce the supply of money in the open market, thereby affecting the increase or decrease of money avail-able to use as a loan to pur-chase a home.

    The second primary factor that will influence the interest rates is the “Demand” for mon-ey. As is occurring right now, a growing and improving econ-omy creates more jobs. More jobs translate to more employ-

    Interest Rates Going Up?

    ees who can then afford to compete for mortgage money. It also creates in-creased competition between employees who can vie for improved positions and higher wages. We are beginning to see that with the continual an-nouncements of 17 year lows in the unemployment rate.

    With the current effort by the Federal Reserve to reduce its balance sheet (reduce its debt), it is selling off Trea-suries and mortgage backed securities which soaks up some of the available cash in the market. This is in itself an action that is reducing the Supply of money in the open market, and thereby putting upward pressure on interest rates.

    The gradual decrease in Supply of money, combined with the growing Demand for money, is exerting upward pressure on interest rates. It is almost certain that we will see an increase in mortgage interest rates over the next 1-3 years.

    CIM Prison Escapee Swiftly Apprehended By Anthony Saude

    Chino- According to reports from the Chino Hills PD, prison escapee, Michael Garrett, was apprehended on Monday, Jan-uary 15 at about 8:30 p.m, less than 24 hours after making his escape from the California In-stitution for Men (CIM) in Chino

    Garrett, a 33 year old white male, was serving time as an inmate at the California Institu-tion for Men (CIM) for a stolen vehicle and felony evading when he was able to successfully es-cape from the prison on Sunday night, January 14.

    On January 15 at 8:30 a.m., Chino and Chino Hills Police De-partments confirmed that Garrett had indeed escaped from the prison the night before. In their initial report police stated that after a thourough search of the immediate vicinity, police were

    unable to locate Garret and they believed that he was no longer in the area. The manhunt was then in full swing. Further investigation led the authorities to the San Di-ego area and they were able to locate Garret in his home town of Encinitas, in San Diego County. He was arrested and placed back into police custody less than 24 hours after making his escape. ■

    History 101

    By History.com

    At 11:38 a.m. EST, on Janu-ary 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Christa McAuliffe is on her way to be-coming the first ordinary U.S. civilian to travel into space. McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, won a competition that earned her a place among the seven-mem-ber crew of the Challenger. She underwent months of shut-tle training but then, beginning January 23, was forced to wait six long days as the Challeng-er‘s launch countdown was repeatedly delayed because of weather and technical prob-lems. Finally, on January 28, the shuttle lifted off.

    Seventy-three seconds lat-er, hundreds on the ground, in-cluding Christa’s family, stared in disbelief as the shuttle broke up in a forking plume of smoke and fire. Millions more watched the wrenching tragedy unfold on live television. There were no survivors.

    In 1976, the National Aero-nautics and Space Adminis-tration (NASA) unveiled the world’s first reusable manned spacecraft, the Enterprise. Five years later, space flights of the shuttle began when Co-lumbia traveled into space on a 54-hour mission. Launched by two solid-rocket boosters and an external tank, only the aircraft-like shuttle entered into orbit around Earth. When the mission was completed, the shuttle fired engines to reduce speed and, after descending through the atmosphere, land-ed like a glider. Early shuttles took satellite equipment into

    space and carried out various scientific experiments. The Challenger disaster was the first major shuttle accident.

    In the aftermath of the disas-ter, President Ronald Regan appointed a special commis-sion to determine what went wrong with Challenger and to develop future corrective mea-sures. The presidential com-mission was headed by for-mer secretary of state William Rogers, and included former astronaut Neil Armstrong and former test pilot Chuck Yeager. The investigation determined that the disaster was caused by the failure of an “O-ring” seal in one of the two solid-fuel rockets. The elastic O-ring did not respond as expected be-cause of the cold temperature at launch time, which began a chain of events that resulted in the massive loss. As a result, NASA did not send astronauts into space for more than two years as it redesigned a num-ber of features of the space shuttle.

    In September 1988, space shuttle flights resumed with the successful launching of the Discovery. Since then, the space shuttle has carried out numerous important missions, such as the repair and main-tenance of the Hubble Space Telescope and the construction of the International Space Sta-tion.

    On February 1, 2003, a sec-ond space-shuttle disaster rocked the United States when Columbia disintegrated upon reentry of the Earth’s atmo-sphere. All aboard were killed. Despite fears that the problems that downed Columbia had not been satisfactorily addressed, space-shuttle flights resumed on July 26, 2005, when Discov-ery was again put into orbit. ■

    Crew members of the Challenger mission STS-51L. All 7 crew members perished in the catastrophic explosion that occured soon after launch.

    A ruptured O-ring in the right Solid Rocket Booster was the cause of the explosion that occurred 73 seconds after the Challenger launched.

    Our LifeDeath is a Gift

    By Anthony Saude

    Just a short while ago I was talking with my wife about my re-lationship with death. I told her I either have a very healthy one or it is totally dysfunctional. At my age most people have had a fair amount of death and sadness in their lives and I am no different. Even when I was young I always had a delayed reaction to death. When everybody else was cry-ing and sadness would overtake them I was almost indifferent to it. That doesn’t mean I didn’t cry at all. I just cried a lot less and, usually, not until I was at the gravesite and the coffin was being lowered into the ground.

    For years I thought there was something wrong with me. I carried around a lot of guilt and shame because of it. The age of the person always had a direct correlation with the amount of sadness I felt. To me an older person had their time and we shouldn’t be sad about their death but instead we should be happy about the time we had with them. It just sounds logical to me.

    The death of a younger per-son would make me sadder but I was always able to focus on the good times rather than the days ahead when I would be without them. So is my view of death healthy or unhealthy? I honestly still do not know. One of the pos-itive aspects of my viewpoint is that it allows me to be there for my loved ones during their time of sadness. However, some of those same loved ones have seen it as a little cold and even uncaring.

    This world is full of pain, sad-ness, mean people, judgment and a whole lot of stuff that not everybody is equipped to deal with. Have I been desensitized by the cruelty of the world? Addiction to drugs and alcohol is rising at the same rate as counseling and education in the mental health industry. Suicide is at an all time high, bullying is an actual thing and the list of sadness goes on and on. I personally spent most of my life

    forming an identity out of self medicating with drugs, alcohol and women.

    Please don’t misunderstand what I am saying. Death is sad. Especially if it is self-inflicted. But it can also be a gift. I mean what could be better than hang-ing out with Jesus every day for eternity? I think to myself about those people that just get dealt a tough hand in life. The physically or sexually abused children or the marginalized people of the world. We all know somebody or have heard about somebody that has lived a life of pain and sadness through no fault of their own. Jesus tells us that there will be no pain, no tears, and no sadness when we go to be with him. That is a gift that, for some, has been impossible to pass up and that is very sad. Please don’t misinterpret what I am saying. I love life because it is also a gift from God. To me, when I leave this world I will get to be with Jesus and that is a gift that often times seems far away. So how can we look at a world so filled with sadness and evil as a gift and not a curse? There is one answer and that answer is Jesus. He died for me and I long to express my gratitude every day by helping the people who are sad. So while I am here on this earth it is my desire to help others see the beauty the world offers instead of the sadness that Satan wants them to see. I do this by introducing them to my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, who can heal all wounds. So when a person I know dies and I know that they love Jesus, I know I will miss them, but I re-joice in the gift they have been given. If I don’t, aren’t I only thinking of my own feelings? I believe that God saves some people from the pain and sad-ness of this world by giving them the gift of death. How can I be sad that they were saved? I ask the question again, am I broken more than most or it is it a gift from God? I will make sure I ask him that question when he de-cides it is time to save me from this world with the gift of death. Until then I will make sure to use his gift of life to help as many as I can to see that both life, and death, can be a gift. ■

    • Cauliflower Florets- 10 oz•Butternut Squash- 16 oz•Chili Powder- 2 tsp•Cumin- 2 tsp•Honey- 1/2 oz•Chili Flakes- 2 tsp•Parsley- 1/2 oz•Lime- 2• Garlic- 1/2 tsp•Greek Yogurt- 2/3 cup•Flour Tortillas- 12•Feta Cheese- 1 cup

    1 PREHEAT AND PREP. Wash and dry all produce. Adjust rack to mid-dle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread out cauliflower on one baking sheet and squash on a second sheet. Sprinkle chili powder and cumin evenly over both. Drizzle squash with honey and sprinkle with as much of the chili flakes as you like.

    2 ROAST CAULIFLOWER AND SQUASH. Toss cauliflower and squash with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper each. Roast both veggies in oven until tender and lightly browned, 20-25 minutes, toss-

    ing halfway through.

    6 FINISH AND PLATE. Spread yo-gurt crema onto tortillas and fill each with cauliflower and squash. Sprinkle with feta cheese and remaining pars-ley. Divide between plates and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over. ■

    Is your fitness routine stuck in a rut? Searching for ways to spend more time with your family?

    Why not combine these goals? There are a variety of ways to lead an active lifestyle that are suitable for the whole family and can include children of all ages.

    Let these four creative ideas help you turn each day into an opportunity to get fit and have fun as a family, with-out stepping foot into the gym. As with any workout, it’s important to have the proper gear, and that starts with foot-wear. So, each exercise below has a suggestion of what to look for when it comes to choosing the right shoe.

    • Participate in a charity run/walk: Whether you’re a seasoned runner or have just signed up to run your first 5K, many fundraising races accom-modate the entire family. For younger children, look for events that allow jog-ging strollers or that host a Fun Run. Events that show the importance of communities working together for a larger cause can provide a bonus to the fun.

    Shoe to try: Nike, Adidas and Con-verse all have a variety of “updated classic” styles available in men, wom-en and children’s sizing, so that every family member can find a pair that reflects their personalities, while also providing necessary support for race day.

    • Outdoor activities: Heading out-doors to go camping or hiking burns calories, while providing incredible views and memories.

    Shoe to try: Built to go off-roading, ASICS hiking shoes features reversed lugs on the outsole to ensure a de-pendable grip both uphill and downhill.

    • HIIT: High-Intensity interval train-ing is being incorporated into a lot of workouts these days. HIIT workouts alternate a quick, intense period of ex-ercise, such as running or cycling, fol-lowed by a short, active recovery.

    Shoe to try: A lightweight cross train-ing shoes with a stable base -- such as a Nike Flex Trainer -- are a good se-lection when it comes to HIIT workouts.

    • Bodyweight training: The benefits of bodyweight training are seeming-ly endless. From pushups to squats, these exercises require no additional equipment and can be done anywhere and performed with many modifica-tions. Get creative with your family by doing a circuit of your favorite body-weight exercises in the park.

    Shoe to try: A shoe with a mesh and synthetic upper material is designed to keep feet cool. Find this feature in a style, such as the New Balance, which also have special midsoles to ensure comfort from start to finish.

    New footwear is a great way for each family member to show his or her style, while getting motivated to meet fitness goals. Once you’ve got the plan in place, get into a fitness routine that works for your family and stick with it. For a one-stop-shopping experience, visit the Ath-letic Shop at Rack Room Shoes in stores or online.

    To help ensure that everyone meets their fitness goals, consider combining fun family quality time with your work-outs.■

    More Family Connections

    CROSSWORD SOLUTION

    By Mark Hopper

    T w o m o n t h s a g o , m y wife and I traveled to New York

    to see Niagra Falls in western New York and visit some of her cousins near Albany on the eastern side of the state. My wife really enjoyed recon-necting with her cousins. She had not seen some of them in over 40 years.

    Over the past few years, we have also reconnected with some of my cousins who live in this part of the country. One lives in Colorado and the other lives in Arizona. Both of these sisters have been married and have raised their own families. Since they grew up in Col-orado and my brother and I grew up in Arizona, we rarely saw our cousins. Since each of us got married and started our families in different parts of the country, we didn’t spend much time together. I don’t think we even attended our cousin’s weddings and I don’t think they

    were present at my wedding or my brother’s either. Now, forty years later, our paths have reconnected. All of our parents have died. All of us have our own children and grandchildren. All of us still live in different parts of the country. But, over the past few years, circumstances have drawn us together again. A life threatening illness served as the catalyst to in-crease our communication. My wife and I became more intentional about calling and visiting. My brother and his wife sent cards and shared books as the health of one of these cousins declined. During this journey, we also reconnect-ed with her sister, our other cousin. After almost 40 years, we were talking and texting on a regular basis. Facebook helped too! There was a lot of catching up to do. We enjoyed learning about their children and grand-children. We shared about our families and our careers. There were times of laughter and smiles as we talked about our parents and grandmother (our

    grandfather died before most of us were born). Unfortunately, one of these cousins died on Thanksgiving Day after a long, difficult battle with cancer. New connections were made as we met ex-tended family members at her memorial service. Stories were shared and there was both laughter and tears.

    I’m thankful that we “recon-nected” with our cousins - both my wife’s in New York and and my own cousins in the west. It has given us a new appreciation for our extended family and it has given us more motivation to keep in touch. Let me encourage you to make an effort to reconnect with your family. Social media makes it possible and con-venient to communicate with cousins, nieces, nephews and long, lost relatives. Don’t wait. Write a note, send a card or make a call this year. They will be glad you did and you will too.

    Antarctica: The Seventh ContinentBy Nancy Stoops

    Part of my holidays I had the pleasure of hanging out with some new penguin friends.

    Yes I travelled to the continent of Antarctica my seventh and final continent. Now I can finally say I have been to every continent and have the proud honor of being a world travel-er. I have traveled the whole world by myself. I must tell you Antarctica is truly a magical place. I saw penguin colonies with hundreds of pen-guins. They are such adorable and friendly creatures. They just kept doing their thing as I stood mesmerized watching them. I can’t believe that a continent that is so very unspoiled still exists in our world. I saw icebergs that were blue and huge. The solace this place offers is really hard to begin to describe. It was unbelievably quiet as we travelled through the water by ship and then by zodi-

    acs when we would want to go to shore or to just get a closer look.

    Besides penguins we also saw many types of seals just chilling on snowy rocks. We also saw orca and humpback whales and many types of birds. The wild-life was totally awesome. It’s so

    incredible to see wildlife in their natural environments. I’ve now swam with, fed and walked ti-gers, rode and trained elephants, held cheetahs in my lap, laid with sea lions, fed wallabies and kan-garoos, held koalas, swam with giant sea turtles, sharks, rays, and have snorkeled with many different types of schools of fish. These close up wildlife experienc-

    es have always been my favorite part of my travels. It truly is an amazing world and there are so many wonderful places to go and things to see and do. I now have friends all over the world. I would highly recommend travelling the world if you get the chance. It will

    change you forever and help you see the magic in our world!!!!

    He thought the map would serve as a “good educational tool for teachers” on the cam-pus.

    “I hope my project will serve as a fun and interactive way for students to learn the geography of their country!” he said.

    After weeks of preparation and fundraising, the teen went to Evergreen on Friday to pre-pare the area by scrubbing the cement with a degreaser.

    The following day, the volun-teer team carefully laid out and taped down eight large stencil pieces that outlined the map and borders of each state.

    The group then carefully spray painted holes in each stencil that marked the state borders.

    After lifting up the stencils, the scouts began connecting the dots to form the borders.

    By the end of the day, they painted all 50 states according to the blue, yellow, red, and green color scheme.

    “I decided to paint California green because Evergreen’s colors are green and white,” he shared.

    He also added a white dia-mond shape where the Diamond Bar school is located.

    On Sunday, the crew applied a second coat of paint and touched up the borders, while the adults spray-painted the state abbreviations.

    The final step was adding "Boy Scout Troop 730 Eagle Project 2018” in the southwest corner of the artwork.

    “The students love looking at Jarrett’s gift to the school,” said exclaimed Principal Trina Dreyer.

    “We are grateful that he chose his elementary school as the place to complete his Eagle Scout project!” ■

    Case# 221800266 ■

    erside County Sheriff’s De-partment contract to increase staffing have been something that the city has done in a very incremental and conservative manner due to the negative impacts of the loss of our vehi-cle license fee revenue,” said Michele Nissen, City Manager for Eastvale.

    Unfortunately, there is a wait-ing period for this to take effect due to the county-wide staffing shortage at RSO. City Manager Michele Nissen told the council at last month’s meeting it could take up to a year before the dep-uties are available. They have to recruit, hire, train, and deploy more officers, she said. But city officials are working on speeding up the process somehow.

    The new cost could take about another $1 million dollars a year, but final costs are still being calculated. With the retail growth since the city’s incorpo-ration in 2010, the city the sales tax revenue would contribute to these expenses. The city gets 1% of all sales tax generated from businesses within the city. This goes to the general fund. This is why it’s important to shop

    within city limits.“Due to the passage of SB130

    and the return of VLF revenue, we will now be able to revisit our law enforcement contract as was discussed during the fiscal year 17/18 budget workshops,” added Nissen. That source of revenue is the $4.3 million boost the city will receive from the vehicle license fee (VLF). The VLF funds were taken away by a last minute legislative bill from the governor a few years ago. The bill took away VLF funds from Eastvale and three other new cities. The city rallied and successfully reversed that bill and the state agreed to return the funds. VLF funds are paid in 2 bi-annual installments and it trails property tax so it’s paid in late January and late May (50% payment and then another 50%, totaling the $4.3M listed in the staff report). Sacramento isn’t returning any funds they already took ($19.3M from Eastvale) but they are going to start paying us our “fair share” of VLF revenue like all the other cities in CA. We will be treated equitably now, Nissen said.

    “The City still lost approxi-mately $19.3M which will not be returned but at least we will have

    VLF revenue moving forward which will allow us to better ad-dress the needs of our growing city,” added Nissen. The city now contracts for 90 patrol hours per day. The new agreement will be from 90 hours to 100 hours per day. PLUS a motorcycle officer, which is a dedicated position, and will be an addition to the 10 hours added.

    To increase traffic officers and increase patrols has been a huge concern for the city and residents. Now that the city has been successful with so many retail developments (see “here we grow again” story on www.anapr.com) city services will be able to increase.

    The city of Eastvale has contracted with RSO for police services since their incorpora-tion. Without contracting with RSO to provide police services, the city would have to create their own police department. Cities like Corona, Chino, West Covina, Baldwin Park, and Los Angeles have their own police departments. Eastvale, like Jurupa Valley, Chino Hills, Di-amond Bar, and Walnut all are considered “contract cities” and subcontract with county Sheriff departments. At this point, cre-ating a city police department would not be a viable option for Eastvale. ■

    love the atmosphere of coffee shops. In today’s America with a coffee shop on almost every corner you can imagine how happy and fulfilling a day can be for me.

    During my extensive research I discovered that different coffee shops might have a pastry I like better or better merchandise for sale and still others might have a favorite coffee drink of mine. One day, while out running some errands I saw a coffee shop I had never been in before, it’s called “It’s a Grind.” I have been a regular customer there ever since.

    “It’s a Grind” has everything that I love there and I know you will love it too. The coffee is for sure the best feature about it. It is by far the most exceptional coffee I have tasted compared to any of the other places I’ve been. Remember, that is a lot of places. In addition to that the atmosphere isn’t a cyber lounge for college students.

    The décor is made for comfort and relaxation with big comfy chairs and couches. Nancy Lien, the owner of the It’s A Grind in Diamond Bar said, “Our philosophy is that a coffee shop should be a place to relax during

    your busy day even if it is for a short time.” “Life is too short we want to provide a place where you can slow down, drink your coffee and enjoy what you have in your life.”

    The pastries are top notch and if you have the time they also have delicious freshly made breakfast or lunch sandwiches for your enjoyment. They really have so many non coffee shop features, like they offer catering with free delivery in the City of Diamond Bar. “We have monthly events, this month we will be bringing you a live Rock and Roll night on January 26th at 7:30 p.m.,” said Lien

    For a limited time they are offering a 10% discount on your total purchase when you bring the ad that is located in this issue. If you want the advice of a coffee professional do not just pass this “It’s a Grind” location up, you will be missing out. You can find them at:

    1223 S. Diamond Bar Blvd, Diamond Bar CA 91765.

    Give them a call for cater-ing or event information at (909)860-5120
