Safe Rides Program
��
,
Staristics have shown that alcohol-related auto accidents
are the number one killer of teenagers today. Teens from
the "Friday Night Live" chapter of Alta Loma High School
are working to change all that by initiating the
community's first "Safe Rides" program.
Teens who have been drinking or who have been stranded
by a drunk driver can call 941-0075 and receive a safe, free,
and confidenHal ride home. The program operates on
Friday and Saturday Nights from 10:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.
Six teens and one adult advisor work on these nights and
receive no pay for their efforts; all of their work is
•
voluntary. They only hope that through their efforts, a iife
may be saved. Teens caring and helping other
teens ... thaYs what the Rancho Cucamonga Safe Rides
Program is all about.
For further information call the Rancho Cucamonga
Neighborhood Center, 980-2634 or Alta Loma High
School, 989-5511.

ABOUT YOUR CITY
Church Park Maintenance Awarcl
Recognition o f excellence
The Professional Grounds Manage-
ment Society recently chose Church Park
(10190 Church Street) as the sole winner
in this year's Professional Grounds
Maintenance awards Program com-
petition in category 6: Best maintained
park, recreation area or athletic field.
The aims of the Professional Grounds
Maintenance Awards programs are:
• "Bringing national recognition to
grounds maintained with a high
degree of excellence."
• "Recognizing individual professional
efforts leading to high maintenance
standards and high-quality appearance
of the landscape."
• "Challenging those responsible for
maintenance of grounds throughout
the country to achieve a higher level of
excellence."
This year the City's Maintenance
Section submitted their first entry in the
competition, and have plans to submit
entries in each competition to follow. To
qualify for entry, a park must be at least 4
years old, and under our continuous
maintenance for at least 2 years since
construction.
Church Park was chosen as the sole
winner because of the unique main-
tenance challenges and projects which
have occurred there over the past three
COMMUNITY AWARENESS
Shop Locally
Every penny helps
With the reduction of revenue from the
State and Federal government, cities have
been severely limited in their ability to
continue providing high levels of service
to their residents. Without spending
extra money, you can help assure that
Rancho Cucamonga continues and
improves its services to you. How's that?
SHOP IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA! It
recycles dollars and benefits our local
economy. One cent of every dollar you
spend here is returned to Rancho
Cucamonga by the State to pay for law
enforcement and other general City
services. If this does not seem like a large
amount, consider that last year's sales tax
revenue amounted to around 3 million
dollars. By all of us shopping in Rancho
Cucamonga whenever possible, we could
easily increase that amount thereby
ensuring that Rancho Cucamonga can
continue to improve its services to you.
So remember, shop locally. ■
years, e.g., the transplanting of 53 mature
LomUardy poplars from Victoria Park
Lane to the northern perimeter of the
park; installing new moistener sensing
irrigation computers for water manage-
ment; rebuilding walkways and planter
beds; etc.
On November 12 of this year, the
award was presented to the City's Main-
tenance Superintendent during the
annual conference of the Professional
Grounds Maintenance Society. East Side
Parks Maintenance Staff presented the
award to the Mayor and the City Council
at their November 15th meeting.
The City's Maintenance section would
like to extend its thanks to all the users of
the park, especially the athletic groups,
for their conscientious efforts to use the
facilities in a responsible and caring
manner. Their efforts have kept the park
in award winning condition.
A special acknowledgement should be
made to the men and women who
manage the maintenance of Church Park
throughout the year. Without their care
and dedication, Church Park, as well as
the other parks within the city, would not
be the high quality environments we
enjoy each day. ■

COMMUNITY UPDATE
Recreational Opportunities
Parks, parks and more parks
New parks are popping up all over the
City of Rancho Cucamonga this year
providing play areas and picnicking
opportunities for everyone.
On the west side of the City, many
residents have probably been watching
the refurbishment of the existing East
Beryl azld Lions Parks. East Beryl Park
(6524 Beryl Street) one of the City's first
park facilities, currently provides lighted
soccerfields and a children's play area.
Soon this facility will also accommodate
4 1ig11ted tennis courts, covered picnic
tables with barbecues and an updated
restroom facility providing handicap
access.
Lions Park (9161 Base Line Road) is
also receiving a facelift and will soon
provide 2 lighted tennis courts, 1
basketball hardcourt, and covered picnic
tables. Iinprovements at both Lions azld
East Beryl Parks are scheduled for
completion in late spring.
West Beryl Park (6051 Carnelian) is a
new 10 acre extension of the existing East
Beryl Park. Currently under construc-
tion, this park will provide 2 lighted
soccer fields, a basketball court and sand
volleyball court, a fitness course as well
as a children's play area and picnicking
opportunities. West Beryl Park, easily
accessed from Carnelian, is scheduled for
completion this summer.
In the southern region of the City, Old
Town Park (10033 Feron Boulevard) has
just recently opened providing 5 acres of
plrk land for the neighboring residents.
Located across the street from tlle Rancho
Cucamonga Middle School, Old Town
Park affords a lighted ballfield, basketball
hardcourt, fitness course and a children's
play area as well as picnicking and
restroom amenities.
Four new park facilities are being
provided East of Haven Boulevard this
year. In the Victoria Planned

open space. Outdoor amenities at this
park include a ballfield with a soccer
field overlay, basketball court, tot lot, and
picnicking facilities.
Also in the Victoria Community,
Kenyon Park (11481 Kenyon Way) and
Ellena Park (loclted at Ellena East and
Kenyozl Way) will host similar features as
their neighbor, Vintage Park, providing
over 6 acres of outdoor opportunities for
the surrounding residents. On a
historical note, Ellena Park received its
name from one of the first major land
holders in this area, the Ellena family.
South of Base Line Road in the Terra
Vista Planned Community, La Mission
Park is scheduled to open in the fall of
this year. Located at the corner of
Church and Elm Streets, this 9 acre

Mission Camp site, a home for the grape
harvesters in this area which was in
existence from the mid 20's to the late
1950's.
Looking into the future, there are 3
parks currently on the design boards
induding, The Don Tiburcio Tapia Park
in the Red Hill area, and two major
recreation facilities: the 35 acre Rancho
Cucainonga Sports Complex (to be
located on Rocllester, so�ith of Foothill

Reservations . . . We Take Reservations ?
In many of your neighborhood and
community parks there are group picnic
shelters which may be reserved. These
areas have barbecues, tables, awnings
and some have water. Ideal for a family
party, a child's birthday, or a group
barbecue, most parks are perfect for small
groups up to 75. The two big community
parks, Heritage and Red Hill, can hold
groups up to 100 and 200 respectively.
Reservations should be made as early
as possible, but definitely two weeks
before the picnic There are some special
, rules which apply to the use of the parks
and what types of equipment can be
used. Please be sure to ask questions, if
you are uncertain if a particular activity
can be held in the parks.
We don't want to discourage spon-'
taneous use of the picnic areas in the '
parks, however, please be aware that ,
those picnic tables located under the
shade shelters may have been previously '
reserved.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
Be A Fire Safe Neighbor
Apartment and condominium fire safety
Responsibility for the fire safety of
your building lies with each and every
resident. It is important to keep your
building as fire safe as possible, and learn
the right thing to do should a fire break
out.
Smoking is the number one cause of all
fatal apartment fires. Nearly one-third of
these fires are caused by someone
smoking in bed. Another common cause
of apartment fires is faulty heating
equipment. Fires start when people leave
combustibles, such as paper or clothing
too close to heaters or stoves. Most
residential fires occur at night—when
condominium and apartment buildings
are most heavily populated.
Prevention is your best insurance
against fire and it may save your life.
Follow these simple fire safety pre-
cautions in your own unit to prevent fires
from starting:
• Be careful with smoking materials. At
night, check behind furniture and
cushions for dropped matches or
cigarettes. And, remind everyone
never to smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and lighters out of the
reach of children.
• Check regularly for electrical hazards,
such as worn electrical cords, over-
loaded extension cords and outlets,
and broken appliances.
• Flammable liquids, such as gasoline,
should not be stored in your home, car,
or anywhere else inside your building.
The vapors from flammable liquids can
ignite even at temperatures below zero.
• Balconies, porches, or fire escapes
should never be used for storage.
• Make sure your fire detection system
works. Check the batteries or electrical
systems for your fire detecHon system
often.
• Make and practice escape plans.
• If you smell smoke or if you think
there might be a fire call Emergency
9-1-1 to notify the fire department. As
a general rule, get out of the building,
Play It Safe!
The City of Rancho Cucamonga is
committed to providing a safe playground
environment for children. However, there
is much parents and other adults can do
to safeguard children while they are on the
playground. Please take a few minutes
and review these playground safety
suggesrions.
Safe Usage of Playgrounds and Parks
It is important that all adults take the
time to learn about playground safety for
the sake of our children and to be properly
motivated to protect youngsters from
unnecessary risk and injury in their play.
As Adults You Can:
• select the playground equipment
children use wisely;
• instruct children how to use equipment
safely to protect themselves and their
playmates; and
• supervise children's play and to correct
inappropriate behavior and prevent
accidents before they occur.
Climbing Apparatus
C7rildren shoulA:
• use correct grip (fingers and thumb in a
"lock grip") for climbing and holding -
use BOTH hands;
• watch carefully when climbing down
and avoid those climbing up; and
• avoid having too many people using the
equipment at once.
Horizontal Ladders and Bars
Children shou/d:
• start at the same end of the equipment
and, using the "lock grip", move in the
same direction;
• never use ladders and bars when they
are wet;
• avoid speed contests or trying to cover
too large a distance in one move; and
• drop from the bars with knees slightly
bent and land on both feet.
Slides
Child�►r should:
• hold on with both hands as they go up
the steps of the slide, one step at a time;
never climb up the sliding surface of the
frame;
• slide down feet first, always sitting up,
one child at a Hme;
• be sure no one is in front of the slide
before sliding down;
• be patient, do not push or shove, and
remember to wait your turn;
• feel metal slides before using to make
sure they are not too hot; and
• leave the front of the slide after taking a
turn.
and then call the fire department from
a safe place. When you call, be ready
to provide your location and any other
information about the fire.
For more information on fire safety, call
the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection
District's Fire Safety Division at, (714)
987-6405. ■
sW;ngs
Childrrar should:
• sit in the center of the swing - never
stand or kneel;
• hold on with both hands;
• stop the swing before getting off;
• walk around a moving swing, not too
close to the front or back;
• never swing with more than one person
on the swing; and
• never swing empty swings or twist
chains.
Tot Swings
Adults should remember to:
• always Easten restraining strap;
• not attempt to put too large a child in
too small a swing;
• not push so hard as to see the chffd's
head snapping back and forth;
• never leave small children unattended
in a swing; and
• remove a child from swing if they start
to cry or appear afraid.
Adults can help make the playground a
safe place by helping children to play
happily and safely! ■

EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS
April - California Earthquake Preparedness Month
Beat the quake - duck, cover, and hold ,��
The City of Rancho Cucamonga in
cooperation with the State of California
issues a proclamation each year
designating April as "Earthquake
Preparedness Month" in the City of
Rancho Cucamonga.
The theme for the 1990 campaign is
"Duck, Cover and Hold". This theme
was chosen in order to emphasize the
importance of responding in a safe
manner at the time of an earthquake.
Studies have shown that taking cover
under a table or desk is the preferred
method. DUCK — make yourself a
smaller target for flying debris. COVER
— a piece of furniture will add an
element of protection from falling objects
and possible building collapse. HOLD —
movement generated by the earthquake
could cause the piece of furniture you are
under to travel. By holding on the a]eg
of the piece of furniture you help ensure
that you travel with it.
Listed below is a weekly schedule of
preparedness activities that will take
place around the State during April:
APRIL 1-7
GOVERNMENT
PREPAREDNESS WEEK
The City is currently involved in
APRIL 8-14
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
PREPAREDNESS WEEK
Businesses are encouraged to develop
and exercise their individual emergency
plans. Planning for employee and
customer safety is stressed.
Does your place of employment have
an emergency plan in place? If not, it
should. The Emergency Preparedness
Office of the City offers literature and
assistance to local businesses to aid them
in this endeavor.
APRIL 15-21
SCHOOL PREPAREDIVESS WEEK
Public and private schools are
encouraged to update their emergency
plans and inform all staff of their
responsibilities. "Hazard Hunts"
�Geographic Information System
Rancho Cucamonga has its Geographic
Information System up and running
What is a geographic information
system (G.I.S.)? Taken in its broadest
sense a geographic information system is
any manual or computer based set of
procedures used to store and manipulate
geographically referenced data. An
automated geographic information
system can manage both graphic and
tabular data relating to parcels, network
environmental and physical criteria for
various applications.
Rancho Cucamonga began develop-
ment of its G.I.S. in 1986. Rancho
Cucamonga is now able to create maps
for various departments tllroughout the
City and for consultants who are under
contract to the City and this helps to
reduce contract costs. Planning,
Engineering and Building & Safety
modules are being programmed to link
the tabular data to the grapltic data
associated with the parcels for complete
geographic information system (G.I.S.).
The City is presently completing a
module that would be helpful in
alleviating the time spent in manual
researcli. This modu•le gives staff the
option of locating a parcel by either the
street address or the Assessor Parcel
Number. With tltese capabilities at the
counter, when either a citizen or a
developer is standing there, allows staff
to verify ownership and to display
graphically any parcel and other
surrounding parcels within a specified
radius along with pertinent information
tl�at relates to said parcel.
The City is expecting addiHonal layers
of information and once these layers are
do�vnloaded to the system, staff will be
able to overlay building footprints, fence
lines, curb and gutter and zoning just to
name a few, with the current database for
an actual representation of the City.
Tlle City is continuing to work in
creating a G.I.S. that would be of benefit
to everyone within the City, staff and
citizens alike and also to improve on
some of the programs already in place as
technology forces us to keep abreast with
them. For additional inforination
regarding the G.I.S., contact Resource
Services at 989-1857, extension 224. ■

conducted in each classroom are valuable
in noting possible hazards and
eliminating as many as possible, i.e.,
securing tall objects to the wall.
Of extreme importance are earthquake
drills. These should consist of duck,
cover and hold, evacuation of buildings
and accounting for all personnel and
students.
How prepared is the school that your
child attends? What are their emergency
procedures? If we had an earthquake
tomorrow and your child was injured
does your child's school have adequate
medical supplies? Is the staff trained in
first aid procedures? Remember, it will
be hours before anyone from an outside
agency will be able to respond. Does
your school have water and food stored
to accominodate the children and staff?
It's a monumental task so get involved
and be supporHve of your school.
APRIL 22-30
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
PREPAREDNESS WEEK
Individual families are encouraged to
prepare to be self-sufficient for a
minimum of 72 hours realizing that they
may be without any utilities or outside
aid for that period of time and possibly
longer.
Communities are encouraged to
organize and combine their resources
because past experience has revealed that
after a major earthquake it will be
neighbor-helping-neighbor.
The Whittier Earthquake of October 1,
1987 and the recent Bay Area earthquake
of October ] 7, 1989, known as the Loma
Preita Earthquake, have offered
substantial evidence of the need for
earthquake preparedness. These events
have motivated some Californians to
become prepared. Still it appears that
many of us have taken few steps, if any,
to become adequately prepared.
The Office of Emergency Preparedness
has resources available free of charge to
help those who are just getting started in
preparedness or for those of you who are
further along. Materials are also
available in several languages, including
braille. For additional information call,
989-1851 ext. 437. ■
CHILD SAFETY
Handling Emergencies
Whut would your child do�if ...
Emergency situations, whether they
are caused from injury or through an act
of nature, e.g., fire, flood, earthquake,
occur suddenly and without warning.
Everyone, including children, feels a
degree of comfort knowing they would
know what to do if an emergency
situation were to occur.
Children can, with proper instruction,
learn initial steps to take in emergency
situations that can assist others and
perhaps even lessen the consequences of
an injury or event.
With this in mind, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, in conjunction with the
Sheriff's Department and the Rancho
Cucamonga Fire Protection District, have
developed a workshop for young
children, ages 8 through 14, to learn
through actual role playing what they
can do when faced with various
emergency situaHons.
You may think your child does not
need this program. Yet, WHAT WOULD
YOUR CHILD DO IF...
EARTH UAKE PREPAREDNESS•
• their friend was choking?
• their clothes caught on fire?
• their sister stuck scissors in an electric
socket?
• they were home alone and there was
an earthquake?
• they were walking home from school
and a stranger.approached them?
• they got cut on a piece of glass and
were bleeding?
• they were baby-Sitting and thought
that the baby swallowed some pills?
Special Tips For The Disabled
Extra precautions for safety and survival
Persons with any type of impairment
will need to take some extra precautions
for their own safety and survival in the
event of an earthquake. The following is
a list of suggestions.
BEFORE THE QUAKE
Ask someone to assist you at the Hme
of an emergency. This could be a
neighbor or relative. It should be
someone in close proximity that could
check in on you after an earthquake.
Keep an extra supply of special
medications on hand at all times. It will
probably be difficult to get medication
refilled for some time after a quake. Also
store extra bladder bags, catheters and
sanitary aids if required.
I
II�
j /
If you are dependant on electricity for
breathing or suction machines, have an
auxiliary powered generator at home as a
backup power source. Make sure you
and your helper can operate it.
Store an extra supply of batteries if you
use an electric wheelchair or use a
hearing aid.
For those who are limited in com-
municating, keep a notebook and pencils
available in several locations throughout
your house.
Store an extra supply of food and
water for your seeing or hearing dog.
DURING THE QUAKE
If you are able, get under a table or into
a doorway. 1f you are in a wheelchair,

lock the wheels of the chair once you are
in a safe and protected position.
If unable to move safely and quickly,
stay where you are and cover your head
and body with your arms, pillows,
blankets, books, etc. to protect yourself
from falling objects.
A whistle or flashlight can be used to
signal for help.

MEET YOUR COMMISSION
The Public Safety Commission
Ensuring a safe community in which to live, work and play
The Rancho Cucamonga Public Safety
Commission is made up of seven local
residents who are appointed by the City
Council. The Commission was
established to review, to take action and
to make recommendations to the City
Council on issues regarding traffic safety,
law enforcement, fire protection,
emergency preparedness planning, and
other matters relating to the public's
safety.
Since its creation in 1987, the Public
Safety Commission has worked toward
the goal of making Rancho Cucamonga
the safest city possible. Some of the tasks
that the Commission actively pursued
and helped make possible are the
development of a comprehensive
emergency response plan, consolidation
of the City and the Fire District, a
commercial traffic enforcement program,
guidelines for crossing guards, a review
of emergency medical services in the
community, procedures to decrease the
time that roads are closed due to
construction, and a law enforcement
study of the feasibility of a city police
department.
Another important aspect of the Public

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Earth Day,1990
You can make a dif ference
Earth Day 1990 (April 22, 1990) will be
a global demonstration of citizen concern
for the protection of the Earth. Its
precedent, Earth Day 1970, helped
prompt passage of the Clean Air Act and
the Clean Water Act. It also helped move
the President and the Congress to create
the Environmental Protection Agency.
But now 20 years later, the Earth remains
at risk. Global warming, acid rain, ozone
holes, rainforest destruction, and other
environmental problems threaten us now
more than ever. Today we must renew
our commitment to protect the Earth.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has
strengthened its commitment to recycling
and solid waste resource conservation.
The City currently operates an in-house
white paper recycling program and
encourages voluntary car pooling of its
employees. A year ago the City Council
passed an ordinance prohibiting the use
of chlorofluorocarbon processed packing
and asked for a voluntary reduction of
biodegradable products. A voluntary
recycling program is also sponsored by
the City. This program encourages
residents to recycle their glass, aluminum
and newspaper products each week at
designated locations throughout the city.
Recently, the City Council established a
voluntary commission, the Citizens
Environmental Management Commission,
to proactively address environmental
issues and concerns.
Cities can and must make major
contributions to solving our environment
and natural resource problems. They
make many important decisions that
shape our environmental future —
decisions about land use, transportation,
solid waste, waste water treatment,
building codes and more. However,
YOU can make a difference. Listed
below are various ways to make a long-
term commitment to making the Earth a
safe, sustainable planet.
