artwork around the school, thepick-me-up was much needed forone of Rialto school district’s oldercampuses, said Morgan principalAlejandro Vara.“It was definitely time,” he said.“And we’re beyond thankful forit.”
The school was awarded a$12,000 grant through the TargetDistribution Center to renovate itsteacher’s lounge and staff room,paint blacktop art on the children'splayground and repaint campusportables and update classroomswith the installation of new whiteboards and technology.Local graffiti artist Larry Jones
who goes by “Wetpaint Larry,”was among those responsible forbrightening up the rainy day byspray painting murals throughoutthe campus.“It’s all part of giving back to acommunity I love,” he said. The ongoing renovation project,a collaboration between TargetSouthern California Distribution
Center Market and ArrowheadUnited Way, is made possiblethrough the Target MLK Grant aspart of the annual MLK GivingEvent — What Are You Doing ForOthers? — that reflects the lifeteaching and spirit of Dr. MartinLuther King Jr. by bringing peopletogether around the common focusof service to others. And the help of children, parentand Target volunteers helpingspruce up the school didn’t go un-appreciated.

Presidents Day is aroundthe corner and well, allhail days off!
So in celebration of not havingto go to work (and yes, I’m count-ing down the days and planningahead — President’s Day is Feb.15 — which means there’s ex-actly only 10 more days I have totill I’m free of job duties andadulting) I figured I’d share withyou all a few fun facts about theglorious day that relieves most ofus from work!Woot!In search of finding ways onhow I’ll spend my free day; whereto eat of course, I figured, “Ohhey! Maybe I should go some-where? Who am I kidding I’llprobably just eat the day away.But, I still feel I should share theplaces I came across and the tid-bits that could win you one ofthose brain games.Alright, from a posting on theNational Park Foundation, be-cause landmarks are cool every-one should visit a national park,here it goes:“...With so many options tochoose from, you may not have togo far to find a park that’s pro-tected in honor of a former Com-mander-in-Chief....One thing’s forsure: there’s no shortage of placesto celebrate, so find a park nearyou and take some time to learnsomething fun about these famousheads of state.For example, did you know thatJimmy Carter was a peanut farmerbefore kicking off his political ca-reer?”OMG — A peanut farmer!? Ithank him for possibly farmingthe mother peanut that makes mypeanut butter — thanks Jimmy.
“Or that Gerald R. Ford is theonly American president to haveserved as a park ranger?As a tribute to our fearless lead-ers, here are some neat facts aboutPresidents Day and our parks thathonor their life and legacy. Didyou know that …”• Presidents Day is celebrated onthe third Monday in February,thanks to the 1968 Uniform Mon-day Holiday Act
• It was established in 1885 inhonor of President George Wash-ington’s birthday• Washington’s birthday was ac-tually on February 22, 1732 (thiswould be his 282ndbirthday!)• Washington’s birthplace is anational monument and is locatedin Colonial Beach, VA• It is still officially called Wash-ington’s Birthday by the federalgovernment• The government debated re-naming the holiday to PresidentsDay to include President AbrahamLincoln’s birthday, but the pro-posal failed in committees• Lincoln’s birthday was actuallyon February 12, 1809 (this wouldbe his 205thbirthday!)• Lincoln’s birthplace is a na-tional historical park and is lo-cated in Hodgenville, Kentucky• President Ulysses S. Grant es-tablished Yellowstone as the firstnational park• President Theodore Roosevelthas the most national parks namedin his honor• Lincoln is a close runner-up forthat title• Roosevelt’s birthplace is a na-tional historic site and is locatedin New York City, NY• Adams National HistoricalPark was the birthplace of twopresidents: John Adams and JohnQuincy Adams• The most recent presidentialbirthplace added to the NationalPark System belonged to WilliamJefferson Clinton• There are 35 parks named afterAmerican Presidents, and onepark that celebrates four of them(but it’s named after a New Yorkattorney)

During law school I was taughtnever to apologize nor to say: “I’msorry”. To do so would evidenceweakness and a good advocatemust always stand his ground. Iwas also taught to never say:“thank you” because whatever isreceived is duly deserved. Theseare simple power tricks of percep-tion, which I have chosen not toutilize.• Why do I apologize?When I first desired to enter thepublic life in the Inland Empire, Idid so for two reasons. 1. To helpmake this area an international en-vironment which will in turn pro-vide more opportunity to ouryoung people-via education andbusiness opportunities. 2. To pro-vide free internet to all residentsthrough a high powered Wi-Fi net-work to be operated by each cityrespectively; such as the onesbeing used in these Californiacities: Bakersfield, Calabasas,Culver City, Hayward, Healds-burg, Long Beach, Merced, Milpi-tas, Mountain View, Santa Monicaand Santa Rosa. I have previously run for threeelections but have never beenelected to office. I first ran forFontana City Council, then SanBernardino County School Board,and then Fontana Mayor. I havecontemplated running for Assem-bly but I believe enough isenough. My days of campaigning
have come to an end.Thus, I apologize to the InlandEmpire as a whole because I wasnot able to obtain an elected officeto be in a better position to provideopportunities which I believe willpropel the inland empire into therealm of long overdue prosperityfor many good citizens.Subsequent to deciding not torun for a public office, I sought toimplement my ideas through apublic arena. I first approachedSan Bernardino City to become amember of a Chinese Sister Cityprogram wherein I intended toprovide Chinese interns to thisarea and American interns toChina. Calls were not returned. Ithen Contacted the SanBernardino School District and of-fered to teach all of the childrenand staff of the San BernardinoSchool district an introductorycourse in Mandarin at no cost tothe school district. This would bedone by me arranging for volun-teer teachers to come from Chinato teach the classes for a three-month period of time. In conjunc-tion with this offer, I suggested tohave the most motivated studentsbe given a trip to China where myChinese training company willteach them Mandarin at no cost.This, in my opinion would moti-vate the school district and theparents to want to implement apermanent Mandarin program dis-trict wide. Yet I am still waitingon calls to be returned.Thus, I must apologize again.
In order to accommodate for theunsuccessful attempts at achievingthe above mentioned two goals Ihave decided to spearhead the firstgoal of helping to make the InlandEmpire an international environ-ment for education and businessby offering to send 300 people toChina each year to learn the lan-guage for two months and to culti-vate relationships with Chinesebusinesses for the purpose of cre-ating import and export opportu-nities for our youth. Many ofthese 300 individuals will be pro-vided full or partial scholarships toparticipate in this program. Eachparticipant must be over 18 yearsof age.At this time I am no closer to en-couraging the Inland Empire tocreate an area wide free WI-FI butthis goal has not been forgotten.If you are interested in being oneof the 300 people to go to Chinafor a two-month period of timeyou may send me an email to [email protected]. Inthe subject line write “China”. Inthe body of the email include yourfull name, telephone number, ad-dress, age, marital status and cur-rent occupation. Here is theopportunity for us to grasp andpropel ourselves as individualsinto an obtainable goal of elevatedprosperity.

I apologize to the Inland Empire
Janice Rutherford and theAQMD can do better
This coming Friday, the stateSenate Environmental QualityCommittee is having a hearing onthe South Coast Air Quality Man-agement District’s recent NOxRECLAIM decision. At the end oflast year, the governing board atthe AQMD, which regulates theair quality in our district, ap-proved a rule aimed at cuttingsmog-causing pollutants in our re-gion, but it's far too weak. Thisrule will fall far short of protect-ing us-- in fact, it will cause ourhealth continue to be at risk. Thestate Senate now wants answers
as to why our governing boardwould place our lives in danger bynot voting on a stronger smog-cutting rule.
Among those who voted againsta strong clean air rule was Super-visor Janice Rutherford, who putthe interest of gas-fired powerplants and refineries ahead of herconstituents. Being that the InlandEmpire has some of the worstsmog in the nation, this is ab-solutely shameful and unaccept-
able. If Janice Rutherford and theAQMD won’t represent us, thenwho will?
It's a relief to see Senate Pro TemKevin De Leon and other statesenators take up this issue on Fri-day. Too many lives are at stake -we can and must do more to cleanup our air.

Words to Think About: What is life?
By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.
Without a doubt the mostprovocative questionever asked is, “What is
life?” The “how” to deal with it hasbeen discussed and cussed fromtime immemorial.I like what James Baldwin had to
say, “The challenge of life is to bepresent in everything we do. Fromgetting up in the morning to goingto bed at night.”Jesus even spoke about life. “I am
come that you might have life, andhave it more abundantly.” Obvi-ously He was talking about morethan our sum total of breathes andheart beats.
Some theorists describe life asBirth, Living and Death. No mean-ing, no purpose. The Bible some-times falls into that “slough ofdespond.” Methuselah is said tohave lived 969 years. That’s all heis noted for.Does the name Linda Ellis sound
familiar? Her poem, THE DASH,is enjoyed by millions. It is respon-sible for changed attitudes, a shift-ing of directions and motivations.
The dash refers to the line be-tween the dates of a person’s birthand death. It usually appears inobituaries and on tombstones. Asone writer puts it, “the poem willget you thinking differently aboutlife and what’s truly important.”A verse of the poem says: “So,
when your eulogy is being readwith your life’s actions to rehashwould you be proud of the thingsthey say about how you spent yourDASH?”Harry Ward Beecher is reported as
saying, “God asks no one if theywill accept life. The only choicethey have is what they will do withit.”Jesus lived only 33 years. The
same for Alexander the Great.Think for a moment what they bothaccomplished. Both, in their ownways, changed the world.I owe a big “thanks” to Dave
Bradshawe, Anglican churchmanand Cruise Director for the follow-ing story. It is about a womannamed Rose whose “dash” wasamazing.“The first day of school our pro-
fessor introduced himself and chal-lenged us to get to know someonewe didn’t already know.I stood up to look around when a
gentle hand touched my shoulder. Iturned around to find a wrinkled,little old lady beaming up at mewith a smile that lit up her entirebeing. She said, ‘Hi, handsome. Myname is Rose. I’m eighty-sevenyours old. Can I give you a hug?’I laughed and enthusiastically re-
sponded, ‘Of course you may!’ andshe gave me a giant squeeze.‘Why are you in college at such a
young, innocent age?’ I asked. Shejokingly replied, ‘I’m here to meeta rich husband, get married, have acouple of children, and then retireand travel.’
‘No seriously,’ I asked. I was cu-rious what may have motivated herto be taking on this challenge at herage.‘I always dreamed of having a
college education and now I’m get-ting one!’ she told me.After class we walked to the stu-
dent union building and shared achocolate milkshake. We became
instant friends. Every day for thenext three months we would leaveclass together and talk nonstop.
I was always mesmerized listen-ing to this ‘time machine’ as sheshared her wisdom and experiencewith me.Over the course of the year, Rose
became a campus icon and she eas-ily made friends where she went.She loved to dress up and she rev-eled in the attention bestowed uponher from the other students. Shewas living it up.At the end of the semester we in-
vited Rose to speak at our footballbanquet. I’ll never forget what shetaught us. She was introduced andstepped up to the podium. As shebegan to deliver her preparedspeech, she dropped her three byfive cards on the floor.Frustrated and a little embarrassed
she leaned into the microphone andsimply said ‘I’m sorry I’m so jit-tery. I’ll never get my speech backin order so let me just tell you whatI know.’ As we laughed she clearedher throat and began:‘We do not stop playing because
we are old; we grow old becausewe stop playing. There are four se-crets to staying young, being happy,and achieving success.1.-You have to laugh and find
humor everyday.
2.-You’ve got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams, youdie.We have so many people walking
around who are dead and don’tknow it!Anybody can grow older. That
doesn’t take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by alwaysfinding the opportunity to change.3.-Have no regrets. The elderly
usually don’t have regrets for whatwe did, but rather for things we didnot do.’4.-She concluded her speech by
courageously singing ‘The Rose.’She challenged each of us to studythe lyrics and live them out in ourdaily lives. “When the night hasbeen too lonely and the road hasbeen too long, and you think thatlove is only for the lucky and thestrong, just remember in thewinter far beneath the bitter snowslies the seed that with the sun’s lovein the spring becomes the ROSE.”At the year’s end Rose finished
the college degree she had begun allthose years ago. One week aftergraduation Rose died Over twothousand college students attendedher funeral in tribute to the wonder-ful woman who taught by examplethat it’s never too late to be all youcan possibly be.”Amen. Selah. So be it.
Los Angeles Rams had amazing feats come from1950's University of Redlands training camps
By Harvey M. Kahn
The return of the Los Ange-les Rams will bring backadded commerce and cre-
ate more opportunities for thosewho seek to overcome huge odds.It happened often when the Ramscalled the University of Redlandsits summer training camp from1949 to 1961.
Redlands was where Ramsteammates Les Richter and RoyHord first discussed launchingsuccessful careers in professionalauto racing. Redlands was whereundrafted Danny Villanueva hadhis father drive him to in 1960,when he beat out All-AmericanLou Michaels for the Rams kick-ing/punting job. After retiringfrom the NFL, Villanueva becamea broadcasting executive and thenfounding member of Spanish lan-guage television.
All-Pro linebacker Don Paulbecame a successful restauranteur,allegedly investing in the firstTaco Bell's. His Ram's Horn
Restaurant was in the Inland Cen-ter Mall for years. Many otherRam's fine tuned careers in Red-lands that earned them a place inthe Football Hall of Fame.
Possibly, the adventure ofJohn Houser was the most incred-ible to grow from a Ram's trainingcamp. Houser had just graduatedfrom the University of Redlandsin 1957 and decided to stickaround and tryout for the Rams.Coincidently, Rams coach SidGillman needed a quick big manto test a new speed blocking tech-nique. Gillman liked Houser be-cause he was a quick learner andcould play various positions. Itwon him the last place on theRam's 60-man training camp ros-ter and a eventual starting positionas a rookie.
Houser admitted that hischances of making the 1957 Ramsfinal roster were remote. Un-drafted free agents from DivisionIII colleges don't make the NFLoften, especially those like Houserwho graduated from tiny BoysRepublic High School in ChinoHills. After two months of com-peting against all-pros and all-Americans in Ram's trainingcamp, Houser overcame hugeodds by making it into the NFL.
Players and coaches in theNFL called Houser's story of mak-ing the Ram's the surprise of the1957 season. Days before the finalcuts Los Angeles Examiner re-porter Bob Oates wrote thatHouser had a 300 to 1 chance ofmaking the Ram's. Houser toldIECN the Rams allowed him toenter its rookie training camp as agoodwill gesture to the Universityof Redlands. He said the Ram'scoaches took notice when "Istarted knocking all-Americans ontheir butts."
Houser didn't enter the Ramstraining camp without some noto-
riety. In 1956, he was part of theUniversity of Redlands only unde-feated league championship team."At Boys Republic, I played onthe team with some real toughkids. I was taught solid blockingand tackling fundamentals by awonderful coach, Bryan Robin-son. Redlands coaches JimVerdieck and Ted Runner playedhim at fullback, center, offensiveand defensive line, special teams,and did the kicking. He was in-ducted into the U of R Hall ofFame twice, once as a player andas a 1957 team member.
Houser gave credit to WayneMcKean, the starting runningback on his high school team whohe considered the greatest naturalathlete that he ever knew and "I'veseen hundreds of professionals."Houser never saw McKean againafter high school.
Houser worked himself intothe Rams starting lineup after allthree seasons spent in the Ram'ssummer camp in Redlands. In1960, he was selected by the ex-pansion Dallas Cowboys where hestarted off and on two years forcoach Tom Landry. He retiredafter the 1963 season with the St.Louis Cardinals. Houser was goodenough to be used at running backat U of R and later by NFL Hall ofFame coaches Landry and Gill-man, but he could not get any timeat running back at Boys RepublicHigh School. "That's how goodMcKean was. I tried to findWayne, but never saw him afterhigh school."
Houser was teammates at Uof Redlands with local favoritesPaul Womack, Howard Newman,Clayton Brooks, John Odenbaugh,Howard Tipton, and eventualactor/singer Jackie Crowder. Hewas with the Rams when theyfired Gilman and traded awayNorm Van Brocklin. Houser re-
membered the Ram's hiring newcoach Bob Waterfield, who's ac-tress wife Jane Russell attractedthousands of additional fans toRedlands.
When asked how he ended upat the Boys Republic school for"wayward boys" Houser simplyexplained that his father took himthere when he was 15 becausethat's where he'd have his bestchance in life. He initially feltabandoned and then started takingadvantage of every opportunity.From there, Houser seemed to bein the right place at the right timewith the right people. Most impor-tantly at the Rams training campin Redlands. RAMS PLAYERS WHO

Community Chronicles exhibit celebratesBlack History Month, work of Henry Hooks
By Yazmin Alvarez
For 50 years Henry Hookshas stood behind his cam-era lens capturing the life
and times of the area’s AfricanAmerican community. From political figures, activists tofamily and friends, the SanBernardino photojournalist toldstories through black and whitephotographs, and are now beingshared at the San BernardinoCounty Museum as part of itsnewest exhibit “CommunityChronicles: Photographs by HenryHooks,” celebrating Black HistoryMonth and honoring his works.Hooks, 94, and now retired,gleamed with pride during anopening reception for the exhibitJan. 31, as dozens viewed hisnearly 100 photographs displayed. “I’m glad I was able to documentthis time in the community,” hesaid, adding how thankful he is tothose that have published his work,most notably the Precinct Reporter. Hooks first fell in love with pho-tography at a young age whileworking a few blocks away from aphotography studio in Shreveport,La.He came to San Bernardino in the1940s and served in the military atNorton Air Force Base, then as a
federal employee .In 1979, he retired from govern-ment employment and dedicatedhimself to photography while astaff photographer for SanBernardino’s Precinct Reporter. He captured shots of families,weddings, community events andnotables who visited the area in-cluding Jesse Jackson, LeslieUggams, and Colin Powell. “Hooks had a way, as he de-scribes it, of just showing up toplaces and events to photographthem, said Jennifer Dickerson, themuseum's curator of history. “In doing so, he created a valu-able visual history of his commu-nity.”While much of Hooks’ photogra-
phy documents African Americansociety, his collection chroniclesthe diversity of the San Bernardinoarea along with its cultural evolu-tion over the years, Dickersonadded. “Community Chronicles: Photo-graphs by Henry Hooks” continuesthrough Feb. 28 at the museum,2024 N. Orange Tree Lane. Theexhibit is free with paid admissionto the museum — general admis-sion is $10 for adults, $8 for mili-tary personnel and seniors, $7 forstudents and $5 for children 5 to12.

Immigrant community awaits DAPA decision
By Anthony Victoria
Many immigrant familiesview President BarackObama’s executive
plan as a pathway to citizenshipand great opportunity. For Mario Hernandez and the ap-proximately 170,000 undocu-mented residents of Riverside andSan Bernardino County projectedby the Migration Policy Institute toqualify for the amnesty program,it is a matter of sustainability. “It’s only right that us hard work-ing immigrants get the opportunityto receive fair wages,” Hernandezsaid. “It has been proven that wecontribute by paying taxes.”However a current court case atthe Supreme Court level will de-termine whether Obama’s defer-ment plan to allow millions ofimmigrants across the nation work
permits and temporary residencycomplies with constitutional law.Community organizers on boththe political right and left have de-nounced the plan for months. Re-publicans believe the president hasoverstepped his authority by aim-ing to initiate his own policies,while grassroots groups believe heis not doing enough for immi-grants.The Supreme Court announcedthat it has until June to make itsdecision on the Deferred Actionfor Parental Arrivals (DAPA) andDeferred Action for Childhood Ar-rivals the program. Created by theObama Administration, both pro-grams allow undocumented par-ents of U.S. born children andresidents and undocumented youthto receive work authorization andbe considered lawfully present inthe country.
The twenty-six states that filedthe injunction against the ObamaAdministration argue DACA andDAPA impose huge burdens, withadditional costs for health care,law enforcement and education.Dan Stein, president of the Feder-ation for American ImmigrationReform (FAIR), believes the deci-sion made by the Fifth CircuitCourt of Appeals in February 2015to refuse the lifting of the injunc-tion puts the pressure on the pres-ident and house lawmakers to“faithfully carry out the nation’simmigration laws.”“The president does not have theauthority to simply ignore immi-gration laws and substitute his ownpolicies in their place,” Stein toldthe Associated Press back in No-vember. “The ruling should serveas an impetus for Congress to actto defend the interests of the
American people and the Legisla-tive Branch’s plenary authority toset our nation’s immigration poli-cies.”Many community leaders, suchas Javier Hernandez (no relation toMario Hernandez) of the InlandCoalition for Immigrant Justice(ICIJ) for months have encouragedundocumented immigrants to pre-pare for possible implementationby holding informational sessionsand clinics. He said it is prudent tohelp residents prepare. “Many of the groups feel DAPAwill become reality,” he said. “Wealso don’t want to send the mes-sage that it will be easy. It will re-quire fees and proof ofdocumentation.”The immigrant rights leader be-lieves the court case is a “politicalmove” by the Supreme Court andthe president to have awkwardsentence final word on immigra-tion policy. He believes Obamawill use his record of deportations--which includes his recent decisionto approve raids that have deportedat least 121 Central American im-migrants--to justify his current ac-tions.“Obama has deported over twomillion people. I definitely thinkthe White House will look at thatand say they have been enforcingthe law. It’s something we’ve beensaying for years,” explained theICIJ leader. “The reality is he has,but [Obama] has deported some ofthe wrong people.”The 26-year-old Pomona residentsaid the work of his organizationand ally, the Inland Empire Immi-
grant Youth Coalition (IEIYC),will help shape a new narrativethat demonstrates some parents dodeserve the opportunity “to get outof poverty.” “These are opportunities that theimmigrant community has de-served for decades,” he explained.“Many of these people work me-nial jobs and live in poverty. Thiscommunity of people are here tocontribute not only economically,but culturally and socially.”Hernandez, a landscaper fromSan Bernardino, said he strugglesto make a liveable wage. The 40-year-old father of three childrenexplained DAPA would providethe needed documentation to re-ceive pay raises and employeebenefits.“It’s currently difficult to receivebetter opportunities,” Hernandezsaid in Spanish. “I can’t get betterwages. If DAPA is approved, itwill help us receive permission towork hard for more wages. Rosario Frausto, also of SanBernardino, said she is gatheringdocuments such as her children’sschool records and financialrecords that will provide proof ofher eligibility for the relief pro-gram.“We went to the San BernardinoCommunity Service Center and re-ceived information on our possibleeligibility,” said Frausto. “I’vedone everything I could to makesure we qualify, from staying outof trouble, not asking for public as-sistance, and informing myself.DAPA will give me and my two[U.S. born] children the security.”

For Heart Month: Invest an hour of your life to save the rest
February is Heart Monthand the American HeartAssociation is calling on
all women to invest an hour oftheir life to save the rest byscheduling a Well-Woman Visitwith their health care provider.A Well-Woman Visit is a pre-vention check-up to review awoman’s overall health so herdoctor can measure blood pres-sure, check cholesterol and lookfor signs of heart disease, strokeand other illnesses. It can bescheduled with a primary carephysician, nurse-practitioner oran Obstetrician Gynecologist(OB-GYN).A Well-Woman Visit requiresno additional cost for mostwomen because of the AffordableCare Act. Check your insuranceplan for preventive services cov-erage before scheduling a visit.“Getting to heart disease beforeit gets to you is one of the bestweapons to fight the nation’sleading health threats,” saidNicole Or, executive director ofthe American Heart Associationin the Inland Empire. “An annualpreventive checkup is a must forall women. It helps catch healthproblems early and minimizedamage to the body.”Cardiovascular disease is Amer-ica’s leading killer, but it poses an
even greater threat to women,killing more women than menevery year. Heart disease, strokeand other cardiovascular diseasescause 1 in 3 deaths amongwomen each year – more than allcancers combined.An estimated 44 million womenin the U.S. are affected by cardio-vascular diseases. Ninety percentof women have one or more riskfactors for heart disease or stroke.The good news is 80 percent ofcardiac events may be preventedwith education and lifestylechanges.In addition to scheduling aWell-Woman Visit, the AHA alsorecommends Life’s Simple 7 asan approach to improving one’sheart and brain health.
1. Get active: Aim for at least 30minutes of moderate physical ac-tivity each day, five times a week.
2. Eat better: A heart-healthydiet is low in saturated and transfat, cholesterol, sodium andadded sugars, and high in wholegrain fiber, lean protein and a va-riety fruits and vegetables.
3. Maintain a healthy weight:Bringing your body mass index(BMI) below 25 benefits yourheart.
4. Stop smoking: Breaking thenicotine addiction is very impor-tant if you want to live a long andhealthy life.
5.Manage blood pressure: Keepblood pressure levels to less than120/80. Uncontrolled high bloodpressure can hurt or kill you.
6. Control cholesterol: A choles-terol reading of 200 mg/dL orhigher requires action. High cho-lesterol can cause blocked arter-ies, which may lead to a heartattack.
7. Reduce blood sugar: Bloodsugar levels above 100 indicatethat you may have diabetes orpre-diabetes, which increasesheart attack risk.
It is equally important to learnthe warning signs of a heart at-tack. Chest pain and radiatingdiscomfort in the left arm arecommon symptoms for both menand women. Women, however,may experience other warningsigns, including shortness ofbreath, back or jaw pain and nau-sea. Call 9-1-1 immediately at thefirst sign of symptoms.Learn more at www.goredfor-women.org.
