Or have you always dreamed of owning your own horse? If so, the Alta Loma Riding Club is for you. First organized in the 60's, the Club is "a cohesive group brought together by a common interest in horses." It is a family oriented group not geared simply to adults or youths. The riding expertise of members ranges from the novice to the expert. A variety of activities are offered by the Club for everyone — trail rides, education and social activities and shows (upcoming shows are scheduled at Heritage Park beginning at 8:00 a.m. on February 10; March 10; April 14; and June 2.) Monthly open Club meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at Heritage Park (Beryl and Hillside) during the summer, and at local restaurants the rest of the year. Meetings feature veterinarians, trainers and other experts speaking on topics of horse ownership and training. Membership in the Club is twenty dollars per year for either an individual or family membership. Ownership of a horse is not a prerequisite. HISTORIC PRESERVATION Property Tax Brea�cs fo� Landma�ks If you own a historic landmark or a potentia111ndmark, you may be interested in talking to the Historic Preservation Commission staff about a property tax reduction available through a state law called the Mills Act. This 11w enables a landmark owner to enter into a long-term contract with the City in which the owner agrees to maiiltain and, if necessaxy, rehabilitate the landinark building. In exchange the owner receives a tax reduction that in many cases is substantial, depending on when the property was purchased. For more information about the Mills Act and to find out if your property is a potential landmark, contact Historic Preservation Commission Staff, at 989-1861. � Coaer Photo: The Christmas House, focated�nt 9240 �Archibnld Aaenue, is one of mmiy of oUr Cit�'s local Inr�d�narks.

The crowded beaches, Santa Ana conditions and endless aftershocks. But there's one problem you can do something about. Smog. You breathe it. You hate it. You help create it. Now you can help get rid of it, too. Nearly all human activities produce smog. Motor vehicles are responsible for 70% of the emissions that turn our blue skies brown. The remaining 30% comes from stationary, or fixed sources. These include power plants, industries, small and medium-size businesses, our homes and consumer products. The car you drive, the hairspray you buy, the paint you use, the way you light your barbecue and the number of times you flip on a light - these and other everyday decisions can help win the fight against smog. So here are 25 Ways You Can Clean The Air, brought to you by the The Clean Air People - the South Coast Air Quality Management District. AT HOME: • Paint with water-based paints. On an average day, drying paint releases more smog-forming com- pounds than all the area's oil refineries and gas stations combined. Oil-based paints contain three to five times more toxic solvents than water-based, latex paints. Close lids tightly - an open gallon can of paint can emit up to three-and-a-half pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). � � � '/� �' Paint with brushes or rollers. Spray paints from cans are double trouble. The gas that propels the spray and any paint that dries before impact or misses its target create additional pollution. When painting, try to use only what you need. Buy products in their non-aerosol forms. The propellants used in aerosol cans of hairspray, deodorants and household products contribute to smog. Alternative, non-aerosol products are readily available and safe. • Select products with less packaging. Minimizing the amount of paper you have to toss away clears the air. Packaging consumes energy when it's made, generates harmful VOCs when its printed and produces carbon dioxide (COz) when its burned. COz is one of the "greenhouse gases," which trap infrared radiation in the atmosphere and prevent its passage to space, resulting in a warming of global temperatures. And if that weren't enough, those pretty packages represent half of the nation's costs of waste disposal. � � �� • t • ♦ i •� �� • �� •�i • Plant trees and low-maintenance landscaping. Trees add oxygen to the atmosphere, break down some pollutants and reduce dust. A total of 300 trees can counterbalance the amount of air pollution one person produces in a lifetime. Water-conserving native plants save three valuable resources--water, energy and the air—because they require less care. If you push that lawnmower by hand or use an electric powered model, you'll cut down on more toxic fumes. Try an old-fashioned rake instead of a lawn blower, it's good for you and for the environment. • Fire up your barbecue in a different way. The typical lighter fluid used to start those backyard barbecues adds up to four tons of pollutants to our skies on a single day. Experiment with alternate ways of igniting charcoal. Among the methods with significantly fewer emissions are a chimney that uses newspaper tinder, and an electric probe. • Conserve energy. A year's worth of electricity in the average home sends 4.5 tons of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants, into the air, adding to global warming and day- to-day smog. Turn electric appliances off during peak times between noon and 5:00 p.m. Set the temperature of your water heater to 130 degrees. This will conserve energy and save you roughly $25 a year. Insulate your home. The less energy used for heating and cooling, the less pollution from electric power plants and the burning of oil and natural gas. If you can't add attic or wall insulation, you can still caulk and weatherstrip doors and windows. And close off unused rooms. � 4 Go solar for home and water heating. Water and space heating account for more than 50% of household energy use. Installing solar energy sources reduces the need to burn fossil fuels. Even without solar, you can cut energy consumption. Turn off the thermostat at night. And use cold water instead of hot whenever possible. • Reduce physical activity during heavy smog periods. Everyone's health is at risk from smog, especiaily in peak episodes. Children, the elderly, pregnant women and athletes are particularly vulnerable. Read the daily air quality forecast in your local paper and cut down on exposure outdoors when smog's at its worst. If high smog levels are predicted, try to carpool and to postpone avoidable smog-producing activities such as painting. ON THE ROAD: • Rideshare. You can cut down on the pollution coming from motor vehicles by sharing a ride. Carpooling or vanpooling also strike at another woe: freeway congestion. • Leave the driving to them. Use public transportation. The bus reduces car repairs and commuting costs, along with stress. For bus schedules call 714-825-8341 in San Bernardino County. • Ride a bicycle. Or walk. Cycling and walking are great for short trips. Human power produces no emissions and the exercise has benefits of its own. 4 COMMUNITY AWARENESS Traffic Signals • Combine errands into one trip. Instead of hopping in the car whenever you need something, set aside time to plan your errands. Cluster as many as possible. And, when you're out doing errands, walk into, don't drivc through banks, cleaners and fast food restaurants. Vehicle idling pro-duces large amounts of carbon monoxide and other pollutants. Drive-through lanes may be tempting, but they're also serious smog factories. • Make sure your car's air conditioner is working properly. Leaky air conditioners in cars are the single greatest source of chlorofluoro- carbons (CFCs), another greenhouse gas. Check your auto air conditioner to make sure it's leakproof. And, if it needs to be recharged, have its CFCs recycled. Ask your mechanic if he has a system for recycling freon. • Prevent gas spillage. Never top off your tank. Topping off fills your tank with gas and the air with contaminants. Remember, gasoline is another source of smog since it contains pollutants such as benzene. • Keep your car engine well-tuned. Dirty carburetors, clogged air filters, worn points and plugs not only waste gas and lower engine performance, they cause increased emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides (NOx), two of our most persistent smog problems. • Drive on radial tires. Radial tires produce less air-damaging particulate matter per mile traveled than bias-ply tires do. Properly inflated tires can save up to 10°l� of your fuel consumption. • Cooperate witl� the state's smog-check program. By obtaining a smog check on your car and making any necessary repairs, you'll be helping a statewide program to reduce emissions. Remember that removing a catalytic converter or other smog control equipment is illegal. • Report smoking vehicles by calling 1-800-CUT-SMOG. You can call the South Coast Air Quality Management District's toll-free number to report cars, buses, and trucks that emit visible smoke exhaust for more than 10 seconds. Drivers are advised in writing to make repairs. The program gets about 8,000 reports each month. So, if you see a smoking vehicle call,1-S00-CUT-SMOG. IN THE COMMUI�IITY: • Recycle. Recycled materials give the air a break because they needn't be burned or buried. What's recyclable? Newspapers and paper products, aluminium and tin cans, glass bottles and some plastic containers. Discard used motor oil at a recycling center — it harms water supplies and releases polluting vapors. • Ask your employer to consider alternate work schedules. Compressed work weeks, flextime and telecommuting via computer all reduce traffic congestion and its accompanying emissions. Employers like the productivity, employees like the flexibility. � Report industrial pollution toll-free at 1-800-572-6306. The Air Quality Management District's trained inspectors regularly check stationary sources of smog. If you suspect a business or industry of violating air quality rules, call and they'll investigate. • Write your legislators and local officials. Elected officials on the state, federal, city and county levels need to know you support clean air programs and legislation. You also have a voice in issues affecting your air at the Air Quality Management District's regular public hearings. • Educate yourself and your family about air pollution. The Air Quality Management District is developing an elementary school curriculum on air quality and other environmental issues. Ask your school to request it. The District also provides free speakers, publications, public hearing notices and rule updates. Phone 818-572-6283 for information.

Almost all of the stuck signal calls received and investigated by the City's Traffic Management Section result from impatience or misinterpre- tation of signal operation. The following statement has been prepared to help clarify signal operation. The most common type of signal holds the green signal for the main street until there is a demand from the side street. If a pedestrian or vehicle wishes to cross the main street, one of two things must happen. Either the pedestrian must press the pedestrian button, or a vehicle must pass over a detector in the roadway. In either case, an electrical message is transmitted to the signal control box where it actuates a sequence of events. Of course, some signals are part of an overall system and are timed with relation to other main street signals to reduce delay. Therefore, even though activation has taken place (a pedestrian button pushed or a vehicle passing over a detector in the roadway) the pedestrian or vehicle may have to wait until his turn comes up in the signal's sequence. The maximum waiting time is usually 60 to 70 seconds. This waiting time may be somewhat longer at complex inter- sections under heavy traffic flow. If you experience a problem with a traffic signal located within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, residents are urged to contact the City Traffic Management Section between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at, 989-1862. After 5:00 p.m. residents may call the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department at 989- 6611. They will arrange for emergency traffic control and repair. ■ HEALTH AND FITNESS The Joys of Bicycling to Work Help reduce traffic and pollution while keeping fit wi,y cy�ie� Are you tired of paying high prices for gasoline, not to mention expensive car repair and insurance bills? Have you been looking for a personal fitness program to get in shape but can't seem to find the time? Bicycle commuting offers a low-cost solution to these problems. Here's how bicycling to work is good for your health, your pocket book and the community as a whole: It will keep you healthier. Cycling is good for your lungs, your heart and your legs. Riding a bicycle for 30 minutes, three times a week gives your body the aerobic exercise it needs and maintains muscle tone. It keeps you fit and it helps keep your weight down without dieting. The smooth pedal motions of bicycling means less chance of injury than the pounding of running or aerobics. It will save you money. If you currently drive to work, switching to a bike would save you up to $1,000 per year because of savings in gas, repairs and maintenance, insurance, and car payments. As the price of gas goes up you'll save even more. By combining commuting to work with an exercise program, you won't have to pay for an expensive health club membership. It's patriotic. At a time when air pollution and energy shortages are major national problems, bicycles offer a clean transportation alternative to the automobile. Since you supply the power, bicycles emit no fumes and use no fossil fuels. Bikes are also remarkable quiet — so quiet, in fact, that they don't even register on traffic noise monitoring equipment. And, every bicycle commuter means one less automobile on the road! It's fun. Bicycling to work is a great form of recreation. Getting out of your car can also cause you to see and learn more about your community. Bicycling is also a terrific stress reducer. It's fast. Most car trips made are less than 9 miles in distance. Surprisingly, bicycles are usually faster than cars or buses for distances under 4 miles during rush hour. And no hunting for a parking space when you get there! What You'll Need Bicycles. Rancho Cucamonga's relatively flat terrain is well-suited to traveling by bicycle. People bicycle to work on every type of bicycle imaginable, from one-speed beach cruisers with fat tire and mountain bikes to sleek road bike. It won't cost you a thing to dust off that old Schwinn 10- speed with the drop handlebars and skinny tire. City and mountain bikes, with multiple gears or "speeds", feature upright handlebars and fatter tires for a more comfortable riding experience. A good bike is worth the investment because of the comfort and durability it affords, and it will pay for itself in no time. The point is, just about any bicycle in good repair will get you to work and back. Safety. A helmet should be worn by anyone riding a bicycle. Today's helmets are lightweight and comfortable. If you plan on commuting after dark, reflectors (standard items on new bikes, but you may want to add more), and a good light are a necessity to see and be seen. Reflective vests and clothing are also available. Bicycles should be kept in good repair which require only a few minutes of preventative maintenance each week. Clothing. This is an area of personal preference. Your options are to cycle to work in your work clothes (easier than you might think) or to bike in bicycle clothes and bring (or keep) a change of clothes at your work site. It is not necessary to go out and buy a complete bicycling outfit. Bicycling shorts feature a padded liner that makes riding more comfortable. The vibrant colors of traditional cycling attire are intended to give the rider greater visibility to motorists. Some bicycle commuters alternate days. For example, they ride their car to work on Monday and bring a change of clothes to wear the next day when they ride their bicycle to work. Leg bands keep pant legs from getting tangles on bike spokes. Fortunately we live in an area blessed with mild weather; however, with proper clothing it is possible to ride to work even in cold, windy or rainy weather (or use the car on those few days). Clean-up. A short commute requires easy to moderate effort and may require a Guick freshening up in the restroom. Longer commutes, or those who ride harder and work up a sweat, may require a shower (or take a"sponge bath" in the restroom). Encourage your employer to provide lockers and showers for employees who wish to ride to work. If you live north of Foothill, you can practically coast downhill to work and may not need to freshen up at all other than to fix your hair. Route. Plan and choose your route carefully. Preferably, find a route to work that has fewer cars, a wide shoulder, is well ligltted, and does not require crossing any major street without a traffic signal. Be alert to obstacles, such as railroad crossings and drainage grates which can trap a bicycle tire, hills, and narrow roads. Ride your route on the weekend first, to refine it, and determine the time it takes to get to work. Your route to work need not be the same as the route home (because of hills, traffic, etc.). Maps of designated bicycle trails are available by contacting the City Planning Division at 989-1867. Area bicycle clubs and bicycle shops are also an excellent source of information about safe routes. Storage. Many employers will allow you to store your bicycle inside the building or your office. If your company or business has bike racks, there are a variety of locks available to secure your bicycle while you work. If neither option exists, ask your employer to install bike racks or lockers or to convert an unused area for bicycle storage. In an pinch, bicycles can be secured to fences, railing, poles, and even trees. Optional equipment. Racks and a variety of packs/bags that attach to the bicycle frame provide storage space for work materials or clothing (or simply wear a small daypack). Fenders are a cheap investment with a big payoff - they'll keep water from spinning off the tire onto your clothes. Water bottles are handy for longer commutes. lt is a good idea to carry a tire changing kit, including patches, glue, spare tube and tire irons, and a pump (an experienced cyclist can change a tire in under five minutes). A rear view mirror can also come in handy. Cycling gloves are padded for comfort and to prevent scrapes in case of a spill. Bicycling to work can be fun, improves your health, and protects tlle environment. ■ RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Holiday Safety Tips to safeguard your Jzoliday tree A holiday tree purchased from a lot or cut on a tree farm can remain relatively fire resistant if you follow the simple steps that have been provided by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District: • Make a Fresh Cut on the Trunk • Place in Water • Water Daily • Use Mini-Lights to Produce Less Heat • Keep Away From Heat Sources • Remove Promptly After Holiday MAKE A FRESH CUT: • Make a fresh cut at the base to open up pores clogged by sap. Cut off 2-3 inches. The fresh-cut surface should be creamy-white. Otherwise, the tree will not be able to drink water. • After the cut is made, put the tree in water immediately or the tree will not absorb the water easily. PLACE W WATER: • Choose a sturdy stand which holds at least one gallon of water. • Rinse the tree stand with a mixture of one capful of bleach and one cup of water before inserting the tree. This rinsing reduces the growth of micro- organisms that can block the tree's ability to absorb water. • If the tree is not going into the house soon after purchase, it should be stored in a bucket of water in a cool place away from wind and sun. WATER DAILY: • An average tree may consume between a quart and a gallon of water per day. • If the water level drops below the cut end of the trunk, a seal will form and no more water will be absorbed by the tree —SO DON'T FORGET TO ADD WATER EVERY DAY! USE MINI-LIGHTS TO PRODUCE LESS HEAT: • Miniature lights produce less heat and reduce the drying effect. •o • � •b o • o � �0• • I : p •O � O � � •M O�• • Always check lights for frayed or cracked wiring and broken sockets before placing on a tree. Do not attempt to repair a worn light set. Throw it away and buy a new set. • Turn off tree lights when leaving the house or before going to bed. • Avoid overloading circuits, i.e., creating octopus effect. KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES: • Place the tree away from heat sources such as heating vents, fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, television sets, or � sunny windows. Keep rearranged furniture away from heat sources also. • Be careful not to block a door with the tree or with rearranged furniture. REMOVE TREE PROMPTLY: • After the holiday, before the tree dries, remove it from the house. . • Never burn any part of your holiday tree in a wood stove or fireplace. It burns too fast and is explosive. The City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District wish you and your family a safe holiday season. Anyone desiring further information on fire safety is welcome to call the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, Safety Division at, 987-2535. ■ STOP GANGS • STOP DRU�S STOP C RAFFITI In Rancho Cucamonga WeTiP_ `V OO) �� PUBLIC SAFETY Pedestrian Buttons A pressing problem In response to recent observations which revealed an increase in pedestrian inattention for safety at Rancho Cucamonga's traffic signals, the Traffic Management Section would like to remind the walking public of the following laws and common sense rules when using signalized intersections: • LOOK for the pedestrian button. If there is not one for the crossing you wish to use, crossing is probably prohibited or discouraged. But, if there is a button... • PRESS IT. This must be done to guarantee adequate time to cross the street, or to get a"WALK" or a walking person symbol if pedestrian signals have been instal]ed. One press on the button is usually enough as addirional depressions have no effect. • WAIT for the pedestrian signal to show "WALK" or a walking person symbol. The "WALK" or walking person symbol means you may start to cross. A flashing or steady "DON'T WALK" or an orange hand symbol means you may finish crossing, but must not start to cross the street. This flashing period is rimed long enough time to allow the average pedestrian plenty of time to finish crossing the street before the signal changes to another direction. In addition, a steady "DON'T WALK" or an orange hand symbol warns that the vehicle signal may change at any Hme. • WATCH for vehicles, especially those turning right or left, before stepping off the curb and as you cross the street. • STAY on the curb on a stall green or "WALK" , or a walking person symbol, or on a flashing or steady "DON'T WALK". Instead, of rushing to make it across the street, press the pedestrian button and wait for the next full "WALK" cycle. •USE caurion at all times. A traffic signal is only as safe as its user. For further information on pedestrian safety please contact the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Traffic Management Section at, 989-1862. ■ EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Windy Weather Precautions Our summer in Rancho Cucamonga was rather uneventful with regards to emergencies or disasters, but let's not get too relaxed. Just because we haven't had any reminders in the way of earthquake aftershocks for a while, doesn't mean we won't. Until you, your family, and businesses are prepared, please preserver with your plans. This edition of The Grapevirie gives you a copy of our very popular calendar outlining how you can prepare a month at a Hme. Fall presents Rancho Cucamonga with some very special weather conditions. As we enjoy the cooler weather and leaves turning bright colors, we also experience periods when the Santa Ana winds blow, wind velocity increases and the direction reverses. Winds blow out of the northeast during Santa Ana conditions and under extreme conditions, peak gusts exceed 65 miles per hour and have attained speeds of 100 miles per hour. The strength of these winds can damage structures, uproot trees, and create dust storms throughout the city. During suclt storms, Emergency Services is extremely busy. Fire, Police, and Public Works work cooperatively on downed power lines and other related hazardous situations. During these times, you can help by taking a few precautions: • Stay at home if possible. It can be dangerous to be out driving. • Incidents of downed power lines, fallen limbs and trees, dislodged awnings, etc. may be numerous. These may block streets or worse, hit your car. • Pay attention to street closures and barricades. If a street is closed or barricaded, it is for your protection. • Watch out for flying debris. Place lawn and patio furniture in a protected area. Remove trash cans from vulnerable areas. • Close drapes in any windows facing north or northeast where the wind hits head-on. Occasionally, a window breaks and the drapes may prevent the glass from shattering into a room. • Keep a supply of candles on hand and a flashlight with fresh batteries. During a wind storm electricity occasionally goes out. • For updates on the situation and emergency informaHon, tune to KNTF- FM 93.5 on your radio. After another year of drought, our foothills are extremely dry. Please be careful with 6re. Heed our Fire District's instructions so we all can have a safe and disaster free season. ■ CRIME PREVENTION Tips for a Safe and Happy Holiday Season Pr•otect yoursel f, your family afid your home The holidays are a special time of the year, but they are also a time when busy people may become careless and individuals are especially vulnerable to theft and other crimes. Tl�e Rancho Cucamonga Police Department Crime Prevention Unit offers the following tips to help make your holidays safe and happy: WHILE OUT AND ABOUT: • Even though you're rushed and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you. • Lock your car and close the windows, even if you're only gone a few minutes. Lock packages in the trunk. • Wait for public transportation or rides from friends in busy, well-lighted places. • Teach your children to go to a store clerk to ask for help if you become separated in a shopping mall. Children should never go into the parking ]ot alone. • Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible. • Be extra careful with your purse and wallet. Carry your purse under your arm. Keep your wallet in an inside pocket. WHILE AT HOME: • Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house, even for a few minutes. Leave lights and a radio or television on so the house looks occupied. • Don't display gifts where they can be seen from a window or doorway. • If you go away, get an automatic timer for your lights. Have a neighbor watch your house and pick up the mail and newspapers. Alert the Police Department that you will be out of town and request extra patrol for your area. IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD: • Help keep the holidays happy for everyone. Share these tips with your neiglibors. • Get your Neighborhood Watch group togetl�er and go caroling. Don't forget the elderly and other people who might be especially lonely during the holidays. For additional informaHon on the topic of holiday safety, please contact the Rancl�o Cucamonga Police Department at, 989-661 ] . ■ NST FOR KIDS Babysitters Workshop Become a super sitter Babysitting can be a great way for youngsters to earn money. It's also a good way to learn about young children, about families, about having a job, and about managing money. Every job has certain responsibilities. Babysitting is no exception. There are certain things that will be expected of you as a sitter and things that you should expect from the parents of the children that you care for. With training and practice most young people can become first-rate babysitters. To help you become a'Super Sitter' the City of Rancho Cucamonga Community Services Department, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire ProtecHon District, and the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department have developed this innovative Workshop for youngsters (boys and girls) 12 years old and older.

There are at least four sweepers on the road five days a week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. sweeping a scheduled area which follows local refuse pickup schedules. The City is broken down into sixteen different areas in relaHonship to the refuse pickup schedule and is swept as follows: • Residential areas are swept every two weeks, the day following refuse pickup. • The Civic Center area is swept once a week on Mondays. This area includes those portions of the City that are south � 2 n st. Q 3 a 5 1 6=� 7 � 8 ¢' a> > � O � f.7 �. a� c > . N of Foothill Boulevard, east of Haven Avenue, north of Arrow Route, and west of Rochester Avenue. • Major arterial streets are swept once a week on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays. These include such streets as Carnelian Street, Hellman Avenue, Archibald Avenue, Beryl Sireet, Haven Avenue, Fourth Street, Anow Route, Etiwanda Avenue, San Bemardino Road, Base Line Road and Milliken between Foothill Boulevard and the railroad. • State routes such as Foothill Boulevard, 19th Street, and Highland Avenue are swept once a week on Fridays. • The industrial area of the City including south of Arrow Route, east of Hermosa Avenue, north of Fourth Street, and to Wilson Ave. 4 12W ; ; �m I Y d U a� > 10 � � Y � 9 Foothill8lvd. the eastern boundary of the City Gmits, is swept once a month. • City owned parking lots are swept weekly on varying days. • New subdivisions are not swept until the developments are accepted by the City. This can create a delay in the City providing sweeping service to these areas after occupancy, but before acceptance. The goal of the City's Street Sweeping Program is to provide residents with a clean environment in which to live, work and play. Residents wishing additional information concerning this Program are encouraged to contact the Engineering Division's Maintenance Section at, 989-2813. ■ 24th St. d a � � � � 3 W 13 > 12E � W > < I � �+ Y 11 ArrowHighway � _ I i I d 1 ¢ �6 � N L 0 K SAN BERNARDINO (10) FWY. �� Summit Ave.
