“Our goal is to impact the entire community and the entire person - mind, body & soul.” -Pastor Wade Forde ast week’s column on Perris Councilwoman Tonya Burke and her fight with warehouse developers in her city sparked a number of comments, emails, and telephone calls. Some readers wanted to educate me on similar issues they are facing in their communities. Others wanted to discuss regional land use policy (you will read about that issue in future columns). There were those who wanted to applaud the councilwoman’s fortitude and encourage her to continue to fight on behalf of her constituents. And then there was a call from Wade Forde. Wade is the pastor of two Seventh-Day Adventist churches in downtown Perris (Lake Perris and Perris 5th Street), both congregations have been in the city for over 60 years. He was appointed to his post at Perris 5th Street almost five years ago and Lake Perris a year later. Our mothers have been friends for decades, so I have known Wade since the day he was born...which brings me to the reason for his call. He invited me to attend a citywide baby shower for young mothers-to-be, a joint project by the two churches. And since Perris had been on my mind all week, I thought it only appropriate that I attend. Held at the city’s Glass Gymnasium, the baby shower was funded by a grant from the Adventist Pacific Union Conference’s Creative Evangelism Fund, and treated 12 mothers and 50 of their friends and family to a celebration of new life complete with gifts of diapers & assorted baby products, cake, baby-themed decorations, and even traditional baby shower games including asking attendees to guess the number of gumballs in an oversized baby bottle - by the way, there were 427. The event also featured speakers: Loma Linda University’s Dr. Olivia Moses who spoke on the impact of good nutrition on the mother and child, and Vicki Marshall who addressed the topic of anger as it pertains to parenting. The larger goal, Wade shared with me, is to touch 100 mothers by the end of the year. This event is the first of several already scheduled. Most of the participating mothers-to-be were from the local high school as well as a junior high school. “We selected this particular ministry because we believe the low socio-economic status of our community is tied to our high drop-out rate, and one of the contributing factors to the high drop-out rate is teen pregnancy.” As a father of seven-year-old twins and a 16-month-old daughter, Wade knows the challenges that even the most prepared parents face in raising children today. “We want to empower them to be better mothers to the next generation...if we impact them, we impact the next generation,” he said. Wade isn’t stopping with the baby showers. The churches will be creating parenting classes and later this month will be opening a free preventative health care clinic under the management of Dr. Tracy Dawes, a Loma Linda University graduate who attends his 5th Street Church. Like Councilwoman Tonya Burke, Wade is becoming a transformative force in the city, leading two congregations of people who also believe in helping those most in need, and not just on the Sabbath. The churches provide groceries to over 100 families every Friday morning, “they begin lining-up as

CSUSB Student Alexander Soto Named CSU Trustees TELACU Scholar San Bernardino

By Joe Gutierrez lexander Soto’s dream is to become a physician and help people who live in blighted, impoverished areas where life barriers are plentiful, and where quality healthcare often feels unobtainable. It’s something he knows about all too well from his youth. A biochemistry major entering his senior year at Cal State San Bernardino, Soto’s childhood memories are filled with recollections of living in small homes with anywhere from eight to 12 people; of an absent father he has not seen since the age of four; of seeing male figures in his life being either drug dealers or gang members; and of all of his maternal uncles dead, jailed or deported because of gang activity or involvement with drugs. It was a life where he found peace by going to school and playing sports, and now he wants to give back to help others. “I find joy and happiness in others’ satisfaction and great health,” Soto said. “I find it an integral part of my process towards life’s happiness to invest all my time, energy and knowledge into those who are suffering and simply want to be cared for. Coming from a community and family background of limited resources, I would like to eventually work in an underserved area, placing me in the forefront of serving those who need it most.” Soto, who grew up in Duarte before moving to Hesperia, received a boost of encouragement and support of his dream, along with a $6,000 scholarship as a 2015 California State University Trustees TELACU Scholar. Soto is one of 23 students from the CSU system who will be awarded scholarships varying from $6,000 to $12,000 and honored at the CSU Board of Trustees meeting on Sept. 8. Since its inception in 1984, the CSU has honored nearly 300 students with the trustee awards, which provides students with scholarships based on superior academic achievements, financial need, excellence in community service and personal hardship. This year’s recipients have overcome challenges, including alcoholism, abuse, disability, homelessness, addiction, life-threatening illness, poverty and abandonment, to become leaders on their campuses, among their classmates and in the community. The East Los Angeles Community Union (TELACU) is a nonprofit community development corporation founded in 1968 for the purpose of serving disadvantaged communities in Eastside, Los Angeles through economic development. In 1983, TELACU established its Education Foundation in

breast cancer. In addition, the research project also examines women in the Inland Empire, and their rationale for using hair relaxers and products that contain hormone altering ingredients. “We would like to see legislation passed that regulates the hair care product industry with warnings about the potential dangers as a result of this research study,” said HHM Founder and CEO Phyllis Clark. Joint participation of the COB program includes Loma Linda University and Quinn Community Outreach Corporation. Since beginning in 2013, the health study has interviewed over 200 women and men throughout the Inland Empire and 150 survey participants. The COB research project has also submitted nine abstract publications and completed seven conference presentations; one article has been submitted for publication to the Behavioral Medicine journal and approval is pending. Clark recently participated as a panelist during the Nappywood 3rd Annual Los Angeles Natural Hair and Lifestyle Expo along with

other industry experts. Discussion of a broad range of health issues relating to overall health and wellness took place, including a need to retrain and reeducate stylists on natural hair processes, particularly in the African American community. When posed with the question of what challenges these industry experts are faced with, one panelist expressed that cosmetology schools don’t equip you on how to care for hair in its natural state without the use of straightening chemicals. Miko Branch, owner of Miss Jessie’s stated, “Embracing natural hair is creating a paradigm shift of a generation who is learning to care for their own hair, in turn eliminating the need for going to licensed professional stylists.” However, audience and panel members both agreed with Ms. Clark who emphatically pointed out, “We don’t want to see salons eliminated altogether, but our expectations of them have changed.” For more information about the COB hair health research program, contact Dede Kossiwa Teteh at dteteh@healthyheritage.org. The COB research project is sponsored by The California Breast Cancer Research Program.

early years of my college education.” Soto attended community college, but said his life changed when he transferred to Cal State San Bernardino in the fall of 2012. “I was inspired to finally be at a university,” Soto said. “I witnessed others pursuing their passion and felt that the only way I could be happy was through the pursuit of my own passion.” Soto had the opportunity to further his interest in medicine while participating in the UCLA Pre-Medical Enrichment Program (PREP) at the David Geffen School of Medicine. Through relationships he established in PREP, he was able to volunteer with Healing Hearts Across the Borders where he helped set up a clinic and deliver medical care to those living in the poorest areas of Tijuana, Mexico. Soto, who has a 3.6 G.P.A., serves as an

adjunct general chemistry instructor for the CSUSB Student Assistance in Learning Program (SAIL) and a peer mentor for the Health Professions Advising Center. He is also in his third year as a member of the executive board for the Medical and Pre-Health Student Society (MAPSS), where he helps organize an annual conference to provide opportunities and empower students in an effort to raise awareness and increase the number of healthcare leaders in the Inland Empire. “The conference highlights the need in our community and has served more than 1,000 pre-health students from all over California, connecting them to deans of admission, health professionals, scholarships and internships from institutions like the UCLA School of Medicine, UC San Francisco School

re your hair care products making you sick? Healthy Heritage Movement Inc. (HHM), a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate health disparities within the African American community recently launched a communitybased participatory research study in 2013 to examine this very question. Is the Cost of Beauty (COB) Putting Black Women at Risk? The Inland Empire African American Wellness Collaborative (IEAAWC) Hair and Health Study is an important project that is investigating whether or not Black women are being put at risk as a result of the deadly chemicals that can be found in hair care products such as relaxers, dyes etc. The beauty industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and despite the emergence of the natural hair trend, Black consumers still continue to spend an exorbitant amount of money on products such as; straighteners, hair weaves, wigs and extensions. Emerging evidence for the COB research project suggests toxins found in some hair care products Black women use may contribute to

response to crisis-level dropout rates for Latino students in college. The community group recognized that socioeconomic factors of family responsibility, cultural identity and financial stress create very real conflicting challenges to academic life for first-generation students. In response, the TELACU Scholar is a firstgeneration student who achieves academic success and shows professional promise. Soto, who is a first-generation MexicanAmerican, grew into his role as a student. “I was never a great student; I often struggled to read and write; thus leading to self-doubt,” Soto said. “Throughout my education, the lack of self-confidence from an early age persisted even as I graduated from high school and as I progressed through the

San Bernardino Transit Center: A Symbol of Transformation New multi-modal hub opens to public on September 8 San Bernardino

outed as a tangible sign of transformation for both public transit and downtown, the San Bernardino Transit Center completion ceremony on August 24 featured the symbolic release of 200 butterflies. The Omnitrans multimodal hub, which opens to the public on September 8, is expected to serve 6,000 customers daily. The $25 million facility connects 10 local and two freeway express Omnitrans bus routes, the sbX bus rapid transit line, and bus routes operated by neighboring Victor Valley Transit Authority and Mountain Transit. In 2017 Metrolink commuter rail service will be extended to the new transit center, with Redlands Passenger Rail service expected to arrive a few years later. “Improving our public transit network is an important part of growing the Inland Empire economy. The San Bernardino Transit Center is a perfect example of the type of results we can achieve when communities work together to move our region forward,” said Representative Pete Aguilar. The U. S. Congressman pledged his support for a long-term surface transportation bill to increase funding levels for public transportation and highways, saying, “We need to stop kicking the can down the road.” The existing MAP-21 surface transportation bill, which has been extended numerous times, is set to expire at the end of October. The Senate already has advanced a six-year authorization bill that increases investment in public transportation. The House of Representatives will take up the issue this fall. Fran Inman of the California Transportation Commission suggested going for a longer term bill. “Instead of six years, why not ten?” she said. Located at the southwest corner of Rialto Avenue and E Street, the 4-acre site includes 22 bus bays and a 7,500 square foot building. Passengers will appreciate the enclosed climatecontrolled lobby, interior and exterior seating, public restrooms, drinking fountains, bike racks, real time bus arrival signs, a customer service desk, ticket vending machine, and 24/7 on-site security. Two acres on the corner are available for future transit oriented development.

As a symbol of the transformative potential of the San Bernardino Transit Center, public officials released butterflies during the completion ceremony. From left, Omnitrans Board Chair Sam Spagnolo, Congressman Pete Aguilar, FTA Regional Administrator Leslie Rogers, Emcee and Director of Broadcasting for Inland Empire 66ers, Steve Wendt, and others.

“We are proud that this facility was designed to meet LEED Gold standards,” said Sam Spagnolo, Omnitrans Board Chair and Mayor Pro Tem of Rancho Cucamonga. “This means it boasts the latest and greatest in energy efficiency design and systems. There are solar panels on the roof. Of course, all of the landscaping is drought tolerant.” Public art elements at the center include a transportation-themed mural banner, “Exploration” by local artist Louie Solano, on the north side of the building. The bus turnaround features a 50-foot high, weathered steel plate sundial. Lobby walls are decorated with a mural featuring historic transit photos. A century ago, the same location was home to a car barn and tracks for the San Bernardino Valley Traction Company and Pacific Electric interurban rail services. Project funding was provided by the Federal Transit Administration, Federal Highway Administration and the state of California through State Transit Assistance funds, Local Transportation Funds, and Proposition 1B funds. Omnitrans is the owner and operator of the San Bernardino Transit Center. Federal Transportation Administration Regional Administrator Leslie Rogers applauded the “transformative potential” of the center and

commended Omnitrans and San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) for their “perseverance in overcoming the challenges and hurdles” to take project from vision to reality. Omnitrans identified the property as an ideal location for a multimodal transit hub in the early 2000’s, but it was not until 2008 that the property was acquired from Union Pacific Railway Company. Construction of the center finally began in February 2014. San Bernardino Mayor and Omnitrans Board Member R. Carey Davis lauded the transit center’s economic benefits as it relates to redevelopment of downtown and gave credit to former mayor, Pat Morris for pushing for the transit center project forward. SANBAG President and Victorville Councilmember Ryan McEachron said, “This multimodal approach to transportation, centered here in the hub of the county, is just the beginning of what is the future of transportation. At SANBAG we are proud of this investment.” SANBAG, the council of governments and transportation planning agency for San Bernardino County, managed design and construction. HDR, Inc. is credited with facility design, Parsons Brinckerhoff handled construction management, and Kemp Bros Construction served as general contractor.

Teach Kids To Be Waterwise

eaching children good water management can be a challenge, no doubt, but it’s an important lesson. Let’s explore some dynamic and fun ways you can help teach your children that a drop of water is a terrible thing to waste.

Here are a few water facts: • Each time you water your lawn you can be using up to 3,000 gallons of water • An average American family of 4 can use 400 gallons of water a day • Standard toilets use about 3.5 gallons of water per flush • A typical faucet uses about 2 gallons of water per minute See how easy it can be to help save water, try some of the kid friendly ideas below and start doing your part to change our world. • Whenever you wash your hands, don’t leave the water running. Wet your hands and turn the water off. Use soap and lather your hands well, then turn the water on to rinse. Turn off the water and make sure it is off completely. Then dry your hands. • Do the same when you brush your teeth. Turn the Publisher’s Note, continued from page 3

early as 5 am every week”. They host health fairs and provide free screenings and information on nutrition in both English and Spanish. Even their annual church picnic was spent feeding Perris’ homeless population. When I asked Wade what he thinks Perris needs, he thoughtfully paused, flashed a boyish grin, then said pensively, “We need more leaders who have a bigger vision of what this city can become. Perris is an under-resourced city and too many of the resources we do have are being used to build-up the border area at the expense of the downtown core...too much of that investment is in the places and not the people.” There is so much more he acknowledged. “We need to attract industries that compel a demand for higher levels of education,” he said referring to the influx of warehouse jobs, “our people are going from the poor to the working class poor.” While he and his congregants are focused on those in the most need, Wade believes it’s the

faucet on to get your toothbrush and toothpaste wet, and then again to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. Don’t leave the water running while you’re brushing. • Tell your friends what you’re doing and why and encourage them to do the same. • Tell adults when faucets are dripping. • Since baths use a lot of water (about 37 gallons on average), take short showers instead and use only about 20 gallons of water, instead. • Use a wastebasket for used tissues, or things like gum wrappers, paper towels, or even dead bugs or goldfish. Don’t flush them – the average flush uses as much as 5 gallons of water! Even if the toilets in your house are “low-flow” toilets, using them for trash still uses 1.5 gallons of water unnecessarily. In the summertime, it’s fun to play under the lawn sprinkler. When you do, make sure it’s when the lawn is being watered at the same time. Do you have other summer water toys that require a running hose? These might be fun, but they also waste gallons and gallons of water. Even if you do just one thing each day to contribute to your home’s water conservation, you’re doing the right thing! working poor that can be boosted into the more stable middle class if there were more full-time jobs that paid a living wage. He’s seen it work in other communities and believes Perris should be striving for the same: “I think there needs to be an overall longterm community supported vision set by the city. One that draws on not just civic and community organizations, but on the strong church community. One that intentionally attracts the kinds of industries that aren’t just good for minimum wage jobs, but provide jobs for better futures. And one that brings together all invested parties - Education, Civic, Community, Church, and the people of the community - to show we are a community that desires to be more that we are now but instead a community preparing for tomorrow.” Paulette Brown-Hinds, PhD

Labor Day and Labor Unions

his weekend marks the celebration of the many contributions men and women from all walks of life and career paths have undergone as they take time to refresh, reflect and take stock Hardy L. Brown in the history of the labor movement in America. Through the years, organized labor unions such as the AFL-CIO have seen gains and losses. These same unions have even seen the erosion of their memberships in the private sector of the workforce as some companies and corporations move their manufacturing jobs out of the country. However, when President Barack Obama was first elected, he provided some hope to hard working auto manufacturing laborers by preventing the auto industry’s exodus through a financial bail out. While the private industry was declining, the public sector of organized labor was growing stronger in education, states, and local municipalities throughout the country. They have been successful in many states by assisting in electing officials to help push their agenda. Wages and working conditions have improved greatly and they now enjoy the fruits of middle class living in America. However for the past few years some of those gains have come under attack by citizens, who foot the bill, as public entities are facing budget crises from mandatory retirement systems that are sweeping out other required services from

government. This issue however is causing conflict with citizens who would normally support their neighbors given that they live in the community where they work. As elected officials wrestle with limited funds in their budgets, associations such as teachers, firefighters, police officers and other service providers are being looked at as draining city funding. For example the city of San Bernardino is in bankruptcy and is showing that part of the reason is high public salaries with employee benefit and retirement packages along with bad decisions from elected officials supported by those associations. The local firefighters association has refused to negotiate in “good faith” with the city so the council voted 4-3 to outsource fire services to the county with little outcry from the tax paying citizens. Many citizens are asking why should we pay for services to employees who do not think enough of the city to live there. From the latest numbers, only 12 of 179 employees in the fire department live in the city while making over $150,000 a year with benefits, not to mention their lack of effort to diversify the department with minorities and women. As Rikke Van Johnson, the only Black member on the council said, in the past eleven years the fire department has only hired one Black in the department. The city poverty rate is close to 40% while the median household income is around $47,000 per year. The city is comprised of 60% Hispanic, 20% White, 13% Black, 5% Asian, and 2% Indian. The fire department is over 73% White and only 11% are female who work as administrative employees.

These demographics are helping to draw dividing lines in the sand in support of or not to support public employee associations throughout the country because San Bernardino is not alone in these demographics. This scenario has played out across America as supervisors or human resources directors echoed the same excuse: if we could find qualified candidates to hire we would. This reminds me of some of the supervisors where I formerly worked, when they would use a lack of minority applicants as an excuse. My supervisor would respond “if we could find minority doctors then you can find nurses and other minority professionals, now get with Hardy and bring me some better employee numbers.” My point is to the public sector employee associations, if a department does not reflect the public you serve, then you will continue to have problems with that public and lose much support from a loyal segment of taxpayers. I know you say you do not hire people but you influence the job requirements and experience for any job before it is posted. You also tell your brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends about the job openings before they are posted. You also give personal recommendations to the hiring supervisors before the decision is made. Then after the person is hired your treatment of the new applicant will determine whether this individual will succeed or not. So as we conclude this Labor Day celebration let us come back to work and dedicate ourselves to a more inclusive workplace so all can thrive as citizens in this great country called the United States of America.

Double Standard When Covering Violent Tragedies

t’s sad enough when a violent crime mesmerizes the nation – such as the murder of nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C. church, a fleeing Walter L. Scott being fatally shot in the back by a North Charleston Patrolman Michael T. Slager, or two young, White journalists, Alison Parker and Adam Ward, gunned down on live television – but those tragedies are compounded by the media’s double standard. Let’s begin with how the initial crime is reported. How many times have we seen the graphic video of a uniformed Michael Slager in South Carolina remove his gun from his holster on April 4 and shoot 50-year-old Walter Scott as he was running away? With two huge trees in the foreground, we heard eight shots, four of them striking Scott in the back and one lodging in an ear. Contrast that with the coverage of two promising White journalists in Roanoke, Va. Because it was what is called a live shot, we have even more graphic footage of their actual murders. The shooter also filmed his dastardly crime, later posting it on social media before committing suicide. Did we see repeated clips of the two White journalists being murdered? No, we saw some freeze-frames just before the act. And when the New York Daily News published freeze-frame photographs of Alison Parker as she was shot, there was widespread condemnation. USAToday reported, “The New York Daily News … published three still images from a video uploaded by suspected shooter Vester L. Flanagan II. The graphic images show reporter Alison Parker of WDBJ-TV seconds before she was shot up until the moment when it appears the first bullet hits her body.” The newspaper reported, “Mike Drago, a commentary editor at the Dallas Morning News, called the The New York Daily News decision to post the stills ‘death porn,’ in

an email to the Washington Post.” An article by Leon Neyfakh on Slate. com observed, “By isolating the seconds before, during, and after Flanagan pulls the trigger, the Daily News is indulging in – and prompting others to indulge in – a morbid fascination with what it’s like to kill someone.” Social media was also ablaze with criticism of the Daily News and how the decision would bring further grief to the families. Where was the concern for the family of Walter Scott in S.C.? Why was it okay to show him over and over in his dying seconds? You could make arguments for and against the Daily News’ decision. But whatever the standard, it should be applied fairly. The Los Angles Times came closest in pointing out this obvious double standard when it asked in a headline: “Are we afraid to watch white people dying?” It noted, “Online, some are questioning the conversations that happen in newsrooms before we post, share or edit videos. Are news outlets simply less troubled by the deaths of black people, and thus making the rest of America so?” The newspaper recounted, “We saw Walter Scott collapse when he was shot in April in South Carolina – from a distance, but the video is steady and clear. We saw and heard Eric Garner gasp, ‘I can't breathe’ as a New York Police Department officer put him in an apparent chokehold. And we saw a first-person view of Sam DuBose's head exploding when he was shot by the University of Cincinnati police officer.” This double standard is evident in how the crimes are described in the media. A Media Matters headline declared: “Whether Fox News Acknowledges A Hate Crime Depends On The Race Of The Shooter.” After the Charleston shootings, Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said: “It was released earlier – And extraordinarily they called it a hate crime – And some look at it

as, well, it's because it was a white guy apparently in a black church. But you made a great point just a moment ago about the hostility against Christians, and it was a church, so maybe that's what they're George Curry NNPA Colunmist talking about…” More than a halfdozen Fox hosts and guests suggested the killings in Roanoke was a hate crime. When one guest suggested it would be more accurate to characterize the shootings as workplace violence, Gretchen Carlson countered, “But it says in the manifesto that – he wrote 23 pages and faxed to ABC News and now in the hands of Fox – he talks about race a lot. He put the initials of the Charleston church shooting victims on the bullets that he used today.

Judge Richard T. Fields Speaks on Community Outreach and Collaborative Justice â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to hear what judges have to say. We must use that opportunity to reach out to people to help them achieve their dreamsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to show them the possibilities. It is quite possible that a few words of encouragement now can produce dividends beyond our wildest imaginings.â&#x20AC;? - Judge Richard T. Fields

S. E. Williams Staff Writer

Riverside County Superior Court

n recent years, judiciaries in California and around the nation embraced a set of principles and practices that incorporated innovative approaches to justice. Partnerships developed with stakeholders in and outside the courts; community access to the justice system improved; and, advocates stressed more accountability for offenders. All of this created a more inclusive approach to judicial problem solving. What some identify as a collaborative approach to justice. Drug Courts are a premier example of these partnerships. Riverside County established its first drug court in 1995 and since then has offered the Drug Court and its related aftercare programs as an alternative to incarceration for qualified drug abuse offenders. continued on page 12

“Unfortunately, many people are now opting out of Drug Court because their dr to misdemeanors...The problem is that their addictions are the same and witho we know that we are going to see them back.”

ne of Riverside County’s most notable advocates of this approach to justice is Superior Court Judge Richard T. Fields. In an exclusive interview with The Voice, Judge Fields referred to the county’s Drug Court as, “the most successful model I have seen in my career”. Fields, who served as a full-time Drug Court judge for two years offered this real world observation of the program’s success. “I have seen many people years after completing Drug Court who are still doing well.” Fields described how individuals who are accused of drug and other related crimes such as burglaries, bad checks etc. are recommended for Drug Court by their attorneys. ”A collaborative team then meets to determine if the person will be admitted to Drug Court,” he explained and continued. “The team consists of defense counsel, the deputy district attorney, the Department of Mental Health, the Probation Department and the judge.” According to Fields, if the individual is accepted into the program, he or she will participate in an intensive, one year program which includes rigorous drug treatment, probation supervision, classroom education and job training. “An individual is not allowed to graduate [from the program] unless he or she has completed the high school equivalency requirements and has a job,” Fields stressed and added, “A person is usually drug tested over 50 times during the year.” (The education component of the program is taught by the Riverside County Office of Education.) Fields believes Drug Court is really about reconciling families. “Many of the participants are estranged from their families due to the drug addictions and behaviors while on the drugs— things such as lying to and stealing from family members,” he explained and continued. “Once the family members see the change, they are so appreciative and are usually willing to accept the person back in the fold.” The combination of being reconciled with one’s family, having a job

and an education gives people hope and leads to long term success. “I have been struck by how many people are so gentle and kind once they get off the drugs,” Fields shared. Despite his optimism and the promise of Riverside County’s Drug Court, Fields also expressed a measure of caution. “Unfortunately, many people are now opting out of Drug Court because their drug charges have been reduced to misdemeanors.” He expounded, “The problem is that their addictions are the same and without getting the proper treatment we know that we are going to see them back.” Fields admitted, “With severe jail overcrowding, it is difficult to enforce misdemeanor probation.” There is no question Drug Courts in California have yielded success. One study of drug courts in California found that arrest rates for drug court participants—many of whom are chronic offenders— declined by 85 percent in the first two years after admission to drug court compared to the two years prior to entry. The same study also found that 70 percent of participants were employed upon completion of drug court compared to an employment rate of only 38 percent at entry. Again, Fields offered testimony to the program’s success. “I attended the wedding of two Drug Court graduates. One of them was pregnant when she entered the program,” he shared. “Her child had been born drug free and they both had become licensed counselors.” It is not surprising Fields is such an advocate of this collaborative approach to justice. As the first African American Judge in the Inland Empire he has embraced the mantle of role model and advocates community outreach as a vehicle to encourage others to fulfill their dreams. “I am inspired by my Christian faith and my desire to help others stay out of the criminal justice system and be all they can be,” he said. Let there be no doubt Fields ‘walks his talk’ on this point. He commits a lot of time in support of community related activities

de the courtroom. He maintains a schedule of activities that would ably overwhelm the average volunteer—from public speaking gements to elementary school lunch-buddy program volunteer; the Corona Parent Advisory Group to judicial advisory groups; from ch scholarship committees to his role as a student mentor. However, ommunity outreach does not end there. It extends to such volunteer as service club president to assisting with major immunization es and the Inland Aids Walk, his list of public service activities goes nd on. n light of his selfless service to the community, Fields received the ornia Judges Association Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2013. When asked what motivates his dedication to the community he ed, “Being a judge gives you a unique opportunity to serve the munity. People are longing for judges to come into the community address various groups and participate in community forums. People to hear what judges have to say” Fields shared and continued, “We t use that opportunity to reach out to people to help them achieve dreams—to show them the possibilities.” ields expressed his belief, “It is quite possible that a few words ncouragement now can produce dividends beyond our wildest inings.” Where some have run from the mantle and expectations associated being a role model, Fields embraced it and in the process found the nce between a demanding career, his devotion to family and a sincere ion to serve the community outside the courtroom. When asked about the demands on his time Fields responded, “Things etimes get very busy and I will have several speaking engagements her activities in a single week,” he shared. “My wife and kids have ys been very supportive and that makes it a lot easier. In fact, she [my comes to most events with me.” As a family,” Fields continued, “We have always made time for church unday followed by grabbing something to eat together. We did this e we were dating and the entire 31 years of our marriage.” fter discussing his role as a judge and drug court advocate, community nteer and husband and father, Fields proudly expressed appreciation s parents who he explained, “Sacrificed so much to help me fulfill my ms.” If I can do half the things that my mom did to serve others,” Field owledged, “I will have accomplished something significant in life.” Most of Fields’ supporters believe he already has.

Drug Courts Reduce Crime More Than Any Other Program The most rigorous and conservative scientific estimates from independent studies have all concluded that drug courts significantly reduce crime as much as 35 percent compared to the alternatives. After an extensive 2005 review of the scientific literature, the Government Accountability Office concluded drug courts significantly reduce crime compared to the alternatives. In a nationally representative study of more than 2,000 graduates from over 90 Drug Courts, the average recidivism rate was only 16 percent in the first year after leaving the program, and 27 percent after the second year. This compares very favorably to recidivism rates on conventional probation, in which 46 percent commit a new offense and over 60 percent commit a probation violation. In rigorous experimental studies, reductions in crime lasted at least 3 years and longer-term effects are still being evaluated by the researchers. In one study, effects on crime lasted over 14 years. Source: National Association of Drug Court Professionals

Dain Blanton - First African American To Win Beach Volleyball Gold Gives Back To Special Olympics World Games By Jon D. Gaede Voice News Sports ain Blanton initially established himself on the basketball court but became the first and only African American to win a gold medal in Beach Volleyball. Dain earned CIF All-State honors at Laguna Beach High School in Orange County. Blanton, at 6’3” and a gifted athlete, chose the road less traveled and attended the University of Pepperdine on a volleyball scholarship. Dain played collegiate indoor Men’s Volleyball at the highest level, leading the Pepperdine Waves in capturing an NCAA National Championship in 1992. Blanton graduated in 1994 and joined the (AVP) Association of Volleyball Professionals Tour for the novice ‘Beach Volleyball’. Less than six years later, he and his partner, Erik Fanoimoana not only made the U.S. Olympic team but surprised all the experts by winning

the Beach Volleyball Gold Medal on the sands of iconic Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia 2000. With model good looks and a knack for communicating with an audience, Blanton can be seen these days in front of the NBC cameras, doing what comes naturally, color commentating Professional Beach Volleyball. Although he looks like he can still play at the highest level, Blanton is quite comfortable at his new profession. Earlier this month, he joined fellow Olympic Gold Medalists to serve at the Special Olympics World Games on the sands at Long Beach. Mark Kennedy Shriver, son of Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver (1968) and his brother, Special Olympics Chairman Tim Kennedy Shriver, wanted to connect the Special Olympic athletes to Professional Beach Volleyball players. Dain Blanton, Phil Dalhausser, Linda Hanley and Lane Carico joined the athletes after their Olympic competition had ended for a ‘Unified Sports Volleyball Experience’. Each

side included one of the professional players. The two-hour session included several great rallies, with ear-to-ear smiles, left upon all faces and memories to last a lifetime. The professional players were then joined by iconic Olympic Decathlete Rafer Johnson to present the Special Olympic Beach Volleyball medals earned in all divisions. Maria Kennedy Shriver said, “My mother felt that if athletes with intellectual disabilities could compete against you on the athletic field, you would have to adjust what you thought people of intellectual disabilities were capable of”. Her son Tim added “My mother trusted sports to be a revolutionary tool”. The Unified Sports Experience was an overwhelming success, thanks to the sincere generosity of Dain Blanton and his fellow professional athletes. Catch Dain during the AVP competition and NBC weekend coverage from Huntington Beach, September 11-13.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource. com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-05857-CA.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 30575 Willowbrook Place, Canyon Lake, CA 92587 A.P.N.: 354-163-012-1

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 912,243.35. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource. com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2014-06015-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Elementary School Principal Target of Racial Harassment

S.E. Williams Staff Writer he letter read, “Thanks, N (word), for the collaboration.” Yes, seeing the N (word) scrawled on a note was disturbing enough; but, for it to come as it did for School Principal Crecia Sims on the heels of previous, raciallyspecific messages, it warranted more than a dismissive reflection. The incident occurred at Lankershim Elementary School in Highland. Sadly, this was not the first time racism had raised its ugly head at the school. Disparaging comments had previously appeared on anonymous staff survey forms completed by the Lankershim team at the end of the 2014-15 school year. Each school year, teachers and staff are given an opportunity to complete a survey as a way to provide anonymous feedback. In the batch of last school year’s surveys, two responses apparently stood out. One comment claimed the school did not need a Black principal. The other could be more accurately described as a complaint—it stressed how Black students were not being suspended as often as they should. Although the suspension comment was notable, it was also incorrect and an interesting observation for someone associated with the school district to make; particularly when the district had worked diligently since 2013 to reduce its Overall Suspension Rate. In addition, the district had focused on African American students as their Suspension Rate was historically, grossly

out of alignment with the rate experienced by the overall student population. Since 2013, the Suspension Rate for all students in the district decreased from 9.3 percent to 7 percent; for African American students it decreased from 20.3 percent to 16.5 percent—a marked improvement. During the 2013-14 school year, African American students made up 12.07 percent of the Lankershim student body compared to 13.7 percent district wide. The most recent note was discovered in the school’s staff room on Tuesday, August 18, following a meeting. Such meetings are identified at the school as “collaboration” sessions and are held every Monday to assess a number of key focus areas including student performance, attendance, etc. According to reports, the meeting was routine, there were no red flags—it occurred a day before the note was found. In an exclusive interview with The Voice, San Bernardino City Unified School District Spokesperson Linda Bardere, explained how the District has an expectation that all students and staff adhere to its Nondiscrimination Policies which prohibit harassment and discrimination. “Unfortunately,” she added, “On August 18, an anonymous message containing a derogatory slur was posted in the staff room at Lankershim Elementary School.” According to Bardere, “An investigation by the District’s Affirmative Action Office and School

Police Department was launched. A thorough, fair, and unbiased investigation is underway.” When asked whether there have been similar incidents at any other schools in the area she said, “No, this is an isolated incident.” (Although in 2014, a Cajon High School teacher was accused of using a racial slur.) Parents have expressed varying degrees of shock and dismay when asked about the notes by The Voice. One parent who did not wish to be identified said, “It worries me that someone with such racist feelings, a teacher or whoever it was, could be influencing my children, and not in a good way.“ There is little doubt Principal Sims was the intended target in both cases. School district police are providing security for Sims while the investigation continues and the community waits to learn the outcome of the investigation. Despite additional probing, Bardere explained, “Our Affirmative Action Complaint Procedures for investigations of discrimination, harassment, or intimidation complaints call for the confidentiality of all parties.“ She added, “Due to the ongoing investigation there will be no further comment.” Sims was unable to comment on the story; however, as a respected teacher and principal there is no doubt this is far from the kind of attention Sims hoped to garner for Lankershim Elementary School when she took the helm in February. The Voice will continue to follow this story.

Political Corruption - and Now, Palm Springs S.E. Williams Staff Writer round 9:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, a new history was written for one of Riverside County’s most celebrated cities when an Inland Empire Public Corruption Task Force joined agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and unceremoniously descended on Palm Springs City Hall. The Inland Empire Public Corruption Task Force and members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were joined by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, the Internal Revenue Service and the Police Department in the execution of a criminal search warrant. According to one city council employee, the FBI walked in and asked all employees to leave the building immediately. They were also asked to leave all city-issued electronic devices behind, only department heads were allowed to stay. Investigators and officials kept their silence with the media—unable to answer any questions because the warrants were sealed; however, their silence did not suppress speculation. Palm

Springs political observers were almost certain today’s activities were somehow related to the city’s mayor, Steve Pougnet. There is a story of alleged corruption in Palm Springs not too dissimilar from sordid escapades experienced in a number of municipalities in both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, around the state and across the nation—stories of politicians in close and questionable league with developers. The Palm Springs saga began near the end of 2014, when the City Council with solid and encouraging approval from Mayor Pougnet, sold property on North Canyon Drive to developer Richard Meaney and investor, Yokang Zhou. Pougnet, a member of Palm Springs City Council since 2003, was elected the city’s mayor in 2007. Shortly after the land deal an investigative reporter with the Desert Sun revealed Pougnet had worked as a contractor for a company named Union Abbey—the company was owned by none other than the developer, Richard Meany. The report also revealed Pougnet was paid over $200,000 for his work with the company—his payments dated as far back as 2013. The Pougnet-Union Abbey-Meany

relationship/scenario was made worse by the fact that Union Abbey’s business license had been suspended by the State of California for at least five years when Pougnet was employed. At the time, Union Abbey allegedly owed the state more than $47,000 in unpaid taxes. In late May, the Fair Political Practices Commission began investigating Pougnet for possible political ethics violations and alleged conflicts of interest. Also In May, Pougnet announced at a city council meeting his vote on the Meaney/Zhou land deal was an unintended mistake. May was also around the time Pougnet announced he would not seek another term as mayor. Sometime after 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Pougent issued a statement through City Manager David Ready. In addition, Ready also serves as the city’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the city’s Redevelopment Agency. The statement in part read how Pougent was, “…happy to cooperate with the inquiry…” Throughout the day, FBI agents at Palm Springs City Hall were seen removing computer equipment and several boxes of paper records.
