Seasonal Safety Tips

Staff Reports

 

Chino Valley – The Chino Valley Fire District wants to highlight the importance of keeping fire safety a top priority during this holiday season. According to the National Fire Protection Association, fire departments respond to an estimated annual average of 230 home structure fires that begin with Christmas trees. These fires cause an average of six civilian deaths, 22 civilian injuries, and $18.3 million in direct property damage per year.

The Chino Valley Fire District offers the following safety tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe:

 

Christmas Trees:

  • If you are buying an artificial tree, purchase one that is labeled “Fire Resistant.” While this type of tree can catch fire, it is manufactured to resist burning and extinguish quickly.
  • If you purchase a live tree, choose one that has green needles that do not fall off when touched. Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1-2” from the base of the trunk. Add water to the tree stand and keep it full.
  • Place your tree at least three feet away from fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or any other heat source.
  • Make sure the tree is not blocking any exits and that it is watered daily.
  • When decorating your tree, never use live candles. Use “UL” approved holiday lights and fire-safe ornaments.

 

Lights:

  • Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Check your lights, as some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
  • Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections.
  • Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.
  • Do not overload electrical outlets or run extension cords across doorways or near heaters.

 

Candles:

  • Do not leave burning candles unattended. Make sure they are in a secure place where children and/or pets cannot knock them over.
  • Make sure all candles are extinguished before you leave your home, office or go to bed.

 

After Christmas:

  • Dispose of your tree when it begins dropping needles. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home.
  • Bring in outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards.

 

The Chino Valley Fire District wants to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. For additional information on holiday safety, please visit their website at www.chinovalleyfire.org.

Did You Know?

By K.P. Sander

 

Did You Know   Hanukkah – or the Festival of Lights – is an eight day Jewish celebration that is signified by the successive kindling of eight lights.

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple in 165 B.C., after its desecration.  According to Bible references, Syrian king, Antiochus Epiphanes, erected an altar to the Greek god, Zeus, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, offering up swine upon it.  This act intensified the Jewish resistance, which led to revolt.  Once they reclaimed Jerusalem, the Temple was cleansed and rededicated.

Hanukkah is observed beginning on the 25th day of Kislev – an autumn month on the Hebrew calendar – which occurs annually any time from late November to late December.

Many traditions surround Hanukkah.  The most widely recognized is the lighting of a menorah, typically consisting of a candelabrum with eight individual branches, and a Shamash – or extra light above or below the branches used for practical lighting.  According to Wikipedia, using the actual Hanukkah lights for purposes other than publicizing and meditating on the Festival is forbidden.

Other Hanukkah traditions include playing a top game called Dreidel, and eating oil-based or fried foods (such as donuts and latkes) as a symbol of the ancient miracle which centered around oil, with one flame lasting eight days.

This year, Hanukkah will begin at sunset on Dec. 16, and continue to nightfall on Dec. 24.

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

By Michael Armijo

 

I remember a story I once read, it goes something like this:  A frog was sitting by a pond one day and a woman walked up and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Frog?  Why are you so glum?”

The frog went on to explain, “I was once a handsome prince, but an evil witch put a spell on me. Now I’m a frog until a beautiful woman kisses me and breaks the spell.”

The young woman, feeling compelled to help, leaned over and kissed the frog on the head. She waited for a few minutes and then said, “What happened? You’re still a frog.”

The frog turned to her and said, “I’m only going to explain this to you one more time….”

The moral of the story is, if you believe you are beautiful, then that is what’s important.  You may not have the ability to change frogs into princes, but if you believe you can, what (or who) else matters? If others are unable to see your beauty, that is on them.  What matters is that YOU believe in your own beauty.

A physically beautiful individual can sometimes be uglier than any other, as they are morally and ethically unattractive on the inside. But an individual with great morals and a loving heart will forever be changed in spirit and transcend all that society says is beautiful.

Beauty depends on what you are seeking, and is truly in the eye of the beholder.

Orange County: Man Arrested For Child Molestation

Staff Reports

Edwin Echeverria (Photo Courtesy: Santa Ana Police Dept)

Santa Ana – On Dec. 3 at approximately 12:35 a.m., Santa Ana Family Crimes Detectives arrested Edwin Echeverria, 22, or Santa Ana, for multiple counts of Child Molestation.  Echeverria was taking into custody on the 3500 block of South Harbor Blvd. in Costa Mesa as he was leaving his place of employment.

At this time, eight male victims have been identified.  Through interviews with these victims, Detectives have obtained knowledge about three additional children who may have been victimized.  Detectives are working to locate these children.

According to the Santa Ana Police Department, Detectives estimate that the suspect began victimizing the boys in the summer of 2012. Echeverria initially befriended the victims by selling them chips, soda and other items from his Warwick Square Apartment, located in the 700 block of South Lyon Street, in Santa Ana. Over time, Echeverria took advantage of the rapport and trust he had established to convince the children to engage in sexual acts with him.

The molestations occurred when the victims were as young as 10 years of age. The first incident is believed to have occurred in August 2012. The most recent known incident occurred approximately two weeks ago.

Police were alerted to the crimes after the parents of one of the victims discovered evidence their minor son might be involved in an inappropriate relationship with an unknown person. Interviews of the child and subsequent investigation led to the identification of the suspect and the additional victims.

The number of victims involved is this case is extraordinary. Detectives are not aware of any other Santa Ana cases involving a single suspect targeting such a large number of victims within memory.

Sexual abuse victims are commonly reluctant to disclose abuse for fear of retaliation from the suspect or because of personal embarrassment. Because Echeverria had access to children, there may be additional victims. The Santa Ana Police Department is asking parents of children who may have had contact with Echeverria to discuss those interactions. If there is any sign of inappropriate contact with Echeverria, call Santa Ana Police Department Family Crimes Detectives at (714) 245-8542 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.

 

Straight Talk With Danice

By Danice Akiyoshi, N.D.

 

Dr. Danice Akiyoshi, Naturopathic Doctor, Coaching, Counseling

Dr. Danice Akiyoshi

Dear Dr. Akiyoshi:

When it comes to my group of friends, I am the smart one.  My friends get themselves into trouble and then they call me to help them figure it out.  I help them as much as I can, but sometimes I have problems of my own or I’m just plain tired so I don’t return their call or text right away.  Then the nasty messages start.  They are trying to make me feel guilty.  I don’t get this.  I was only trying to help in the first place.

-Amber.

 

Hi, Amber:

Here is the age old question, “What do we really “owe” our friends and family?”  In my opinion, just because you’re the smart one doesn’t mean that you owe anyone your thinking skills and problem solving talent.  It’s different in the work place. If you are hired to do a job, then they are renting your skills and intelligence by giving you a paycheck, so you realize you’d be wise to perform.  When it comes to your personal life, I’ll offer my opinion.  You owe every human being simple “decency.”  You only owe your personal time, skills, effort, care, etc. to your spouse (because the two of you have formed a team), your minor children, and any animals you have caused to become dependent on you.  Maybe your parents should be on this list, too, but only if they are decent human beings.  Aside from these people, any gift of your time, skills, intelligence and resources should be considered a PERSONAL FAVOR.  If people have a sense of entitlement with you, fix that situation.  Remember the words, “Personal Favor.”  Do not feel guilty for having boundaries.  Good Luck.

Christmas is all about the greatest miracle in history.

And there were many more miracles leading up to Jesus’ birth, with many more to come in His life.One of the joys of Christmas is the joy of giving; but sometimes the logistics of it all can overshadow the joy. Edgewater would like to help. We will be offering FREE (that’s NO donation) gift-wrapping in front of Kohl’s in the Eastvale Gateway Shopping Center, on Sat., Dec. 13, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by with your purchases and let us put a little more joy into the joy of giving.

This year, Edgewater will be hosting three Christmas services and two distinct worship experiences.

Just as on Christmas Eve, this service will end with songs by candlelight.

Our beautiful Christmas Eve Candlelight services will be offered at both 3 and 5 p.m. All services will be held at Harada Elementary.

Pomona – In its continued efforts to bolster services provided to students and their families through community collaborations, the Pomona Unified School District is forging a new partnership with 7-Eleven, who donated $7,011 during a check presentation ceremony on Dec. 11 at their Murchison Avenue store. The funds will support the District’s Mental Health Program.

All Pomona 7-Eleven franchisee owners – who will be regular contributors to the District’s charitable foundation, PUPIL; corporate representatives; and Cortez Elementary Math and Science Magnet School students, attended the festive event celebrating the gift and new community alliance.

The international convenience chain store’s donation will go toward the District’s Family Support & Resource Center, which provides mental health services and support to families who want to improve the quality of their lives and homes.

The Family Support & Resource Center supports PUSD students and families with a variety of services that address mental health, alcohol and substance abuse, domestic violence, health care and housing assistance.

Finding Support During The Holidays

By Nancy Stoops

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Nancy Stoops M.A., M.F.T Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

The holidays, for many of us, are joyful and fun, but that isn’t the case for everybody or every family. I think with the way our economy is this holiday season, it may be especially hard for many families.

I wanted to let you all know that I run free support groups. I run a group every Monday evening from 6 to 8 p.m., each week at the Walnut Gymnasium and Teen Center (located at 21003 La Puente Road in Walnut; their phone number is (909) 444-0089). I also run a grieving group the first Friday of every month from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Walnut Senior Center (located at 21215 La Puente Road in Walnut; their phone number is (909) 598-6200). Both of these groups are subsidized by the City, and in turn are free to you. These groups have been in place for over 15 years and have helped thousands of people. All you have to do to participate is show up. My Monday evening group handles many court-mandated needs as well.

So whether you’re feeling depressed during the season or just plain overwhelmed, come to a group and get some support. It can be very consoling to find out that you’re not the only one feeling the way you do during the season.

Just remember to not get so caught up in worrying about giving the perfect gift, or providing the perfect meal, or worrying that your house isn’t looking good enough to host a party. Keep in mind that the season is just about sharing and spreading our love. So focus on doing just that and don’t worry so much about not having a ton of money to spend on your loved ones.

We tell our children and loved ones to just to their best; well, now I’m telling all of you the same thing. Embrace the season and enjoy good times with your loved ones, all the while reminding yourself how very blessed you really are!

An Old Friend – Part II

By Pastor Mark Hopper

Pastor Mark Hopper Diamond Bar

Pastor Mark Hopper

My wife and I have enjoyed the companionship of a loyal friend for many years. Her name was Molly.Our adult children found Molly at the local animal shelter at Christmas time, 15 years ago.  She was huddled and shaking in the corner of a cage with several other dogs.   They brought her home without asking for our permission.  We really didn’t need a dog.  Our kids had moved out and they were either working or in college.  But, they thought we would be lonely.  So they got us a dog.

Molly was about a year old when she entered our lives.  She won our hearts immediately. She continued to enrich our lives for the next 15 years.

We had a daily ritual of taking a 15 to 20 minute walk around our block every morning and every evening.  Rain or shine, summer or winter, we went for our walks.

When grandkids came to our house, Molly was kind and gentle.  She was so excited to see these little people come for a visit, and they were glad to see her, too.

But Molly’s health began to fail over the past 12 months.  She didn’t have the strength to go for walks around the block.  It was a lot of effort for her to just walk out to the mailbox. As her appetite declined, she lost weight and strength.  It was sad to see her struggle to get to her feet.  We knew her days were numbered.

Although she never said a word, she communicated so much through her wagging tail and barks of enthusiasm and excitement.  We knew what she was thinking by the look in her eyes and tilt of her head.

Words cannot describe how much we loved and enjoyed our faithful friend, Molly. She added so much to our lives.  She will be missed.

Pastor Mark Hopper is from the Evangelical Free Church of Diamond Bar, 3255 South Diamond Bar Ave. Sunday services are 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. For more information, call (909) 594-7604 or visit http://www.efreedb.org.

 

Walnut: ”Lucky Cat” Author Visits Walnut Elementary

By Kelli Gile

Children’s-author-Sunny-Seki

”Lucky Cat” Author Visits Walnut Elementary (Photo Courtesy: Kelli Gile)

Walnut – Children’s author, Sunny Seki, introduced his tales of Japanese folklore to Walnut Elementary students during a visit on December 5.Before Seki was a published author, he was busy telling stories to his nine children at bedtime. Over the years, as the stories multiplied and developed into slideshows, his wife Judy suggested that he write children’s books. The couple eventually closed a successful photography business so Seki could pursue his dream of becoming a full-time author/illustrator.

This idea for Seki’s first published book, The Tale of the Lucky Cat, was born when one of his children asked about the history of the Japanese lucky cat. He couldn’t find any books on the subject, so he decided to write one.

“I’m the first one!” he said proudly of the award-winning book that retells the ancient legend of the humble toymaker who remembers a rescued cat by creating clay statues of a cat with a raised paw.

            Seki enlisted the help of a few Walnut Elementary students during a pantomime of the story. His wife narrated the book and showed slides during the assembly. One student asked if he liked being an author.

“I love it, so I can come see you guys!” Seki exclaimed.

He told the youngsters that creativity is the place where his stories begin.

“Imagination comes first, then sketching, then a model (usually my kids), and then I start to draw.”

Seki shared the themes of his other published books, Yuko-Chan and the Daruma Doll and The Last Kappa of Old Japan, along with his trove of vintage toy treasures.

The author explained that the roly-poly Daruma dolls are a symbol of perseverance and good luck.

“If you fall seven times, you get up eight times – and you never give up!” said Seki.

The Seki family was discovered bringing these creative stories to life with intricate shadow puppet shows and featured on the Disney Channel’s, “What a Life!”

Another family was originally hired for the show, but they couldn’t act well in front of the camera.

“So, you never know what good luck is waiting for you!” Seki said.
