low and steady didn’t win the race for Junior Johnson Saturday. Being hungry did. The reddish-brown haired dachshund boxer mix who loves bacon showed he loves cupcakes just as much during a Cupcake - Pupcake eating competition during the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley’s fundraising birthday bash May 30. Junior along with his pet parents, John and Yolanda Johnson of San Bernardino, were among the dozens who attended HSSBV’s 45th anniversary celebration. A party the two said they wouldn’t miss. “We’re big supporters of the Humane Society and we donate as often as we can,” said John. “We rescued Junior and they’ve really helped us along the way in pet education, so coming out for some extra support for them is the least we can do.” Highlights of the event, which was a more extravagant version of their annual Paw Party, included B-Day, cont. on next pg.

he Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society honored veterans on Saturday May 23 when eight members of the Floral Design Group used coffee mugs to create beautiful floral designs. John Grimm, Chairman of the Floral Design Group, coordinated all of the efforts. Donna McIntosh, Chris Sedmack (RHIS President), Donna Mitchell, Marla Reagle, Jeanne Silberstein, Terry Brown and Lani Howard used their creative talents to construct outstanding floral designs using larkspur, Bells of Ireland, roses and hydrangeas. The 49 colorful mugs were proudly delivered to the Veteran’s Administration Hospital in Loma Linda that same Saturday. They were greatly appreciated and were immediately taken up to the veterans in their hospital beds. The Floral Design Group created a heartwarming experience for themselves and the patients and staff at the Retirement Home at the hospital. ~Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society
