The Great American Smokeout Anti-Smoking Event for Teens

By City of Chinono-smoking-md

Chino teens can participate in the Great American Smokeout on Thursday, November 17, 2016 from 4:00-6:00 p.m., at the Chino Experience Teen Center, 13196 Monte Vista Avenue, Chino, CA.

The event will feature life-saving/anti-smoking information, door prizes, an art showcase, music, and light refreshments. At this powerful event, teens are challenged to live healthy, tobacco-free lives.

The Great American Smokeout occurs annually on the third Thursday of November and is intended to encourage young people to stop smoking or not start at all.  The Teen Advisory Committee Chairperson and Teen Center participant, Noemi Lemus said, “I am looking forward to participating in this year’s event.  It is so important to get this message out there, and show teens how smoking can affect the rest of their lives.”

According to the American Cancer Society, tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the U.S., yet about 42 million Americans still smoke cigarettes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking-related illnesses in the United States cost more than $300 billion each year, including nearly $170 billion for direct medical costs for adults and more than $156 billion in lost productivity due to premature death and secondhand smoke.

The longer a person avoids tobacco, the healthier they’ll get, which is why the Chino Teen Advisory Committee, Healthy Chino, Chino Valley Unified School District, and the American Cancer Society have partnered to observe the annual Great American Smokeout.

For more information, please contact the Chino Experience Teen Center at 909.334.3268.

Clark’s Nutrition & Natural 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 Chino store, they get what all the fuss is about.”

Clark’s stores not only have a huge selection of supplements (their Chino location has one of the largest supplement sections in the entire country), but they have a wide variety of organic grocery items, complete with gluten-free sections,  including Vegan and Vegetarian 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. Today 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 Sowers, the Director of Education at Clarks says, “We have Nutritional 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-commission) Nutritional Consultants are one of the keys to why people love Clarks so much.

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

Coffee with a Cop Event

By City of Chino

Chino – The Chino Police Department will be holding their next “Coffee with a Cop” event on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. “Coffee with a Cop” has proven to be a very successful community engagement initiative in the City of Chino. Each event held thus far has consistently opened the lines of communication between residents and the police officers who serve them.

Part of the Chino Police Department’s Strategic Vision is Community Outreach and “Coffee with a Cop” is one way for police officers to build relationships with the community members one cup of coffee at a time. The majority of contact law enforcement has with the public occurs during emergencies or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective time for relationship building and some community members may feel officers are unapproachable on the street. “Coffee with a Cop” provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the Chino Police Department through relaxed, one-on-one interactions. There is no agenda, no guest speaker and no power point presentation: just coffee and conversation.

The event will start at 3:30 p.m.  and is expected to end at approximately 5:00 p.m.  It will be held at the Starbucks located at 4013 Grand Avenue #A where coffee will be served.  We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have any questions, please contact Lieutenant Bill Covington at the Chino Police Department 909-334-3092.
