olton City Hall filled with animal lovers and advocates at the City of Colton Legislative Affairs Committee meeting. During the meeting, Councilman David Toro, was selected at Chairman of the committee. The meeting included a staff report regarding Colton’s Animal Control processes, which include the outsourcing of animal shelter for the city, which currently has a contract with the city of San Bernardino that is set to renew, costing the city over $267 thousand dollars, which includes a 15% shelter improvement cost. Short term suggestions included finding alternative housing to remove the city from using San Bernardino Shelter and exploring other options such as contracting with rescue organizations and Animal cont. on next page

For the second consecutive year, I will be soliciting funds to help send our HS drum majors to summer band camp to learn leadership, conducting and marching skills.” said Randall. “I dedicated performance after my high School band director Gil R. Adams who recently passed away. “ Ceniceros played trumpet throughout high school and was elected to Drum Major his senior year at Glen A. Wilson High School in 1983. Randall lead his high school band in several local and state-wide competitions, including the advanced “Mace” cate-

gory. Randall and his band members won over 25 awards. Randall also served as the drum major adjudicator and instructor the Tom Peacock enterprises. Throughout his musical career, Randall performed in the Tournament of Roses Parade, at Disneyland, in Hawaii, at the L.A. Dodgers Battle of the Bands with guest performer Maynard Fergusen and he also performed during the Los Angeles Summer Olympics band tryouts in 1984. Ceniceros currently serves as a member of the Glen A. Wilson High School Alumni band at the Fourth of July Parade.

Animal advocates from San Bernardino and Yucaipa shared ideas with the committee. Animal from front fosters, as well as looking into Riverside County as an alternative. “My thought is, right now we’ve got 56,000 people in the city of Colton and maybe a thousand or two that have registered pets. There have got to be at least 10 thousand. If we work with compliance to bring those people into compliance, I think we will balance the cost and revenue,” said Councilmember Toro.

The committee will focus on exploring methods to bring awareness to residents about prevention and education. Another idea that was discussed was a possible cat trap, neuter and release program that would eradicate the number of strays throughout the city. Toro suggested issuing life-long licenses to those who microchip and spay or neuter, a program similar to that of the city of Beaumont. Attendees shared their concern over the city outsourcing to San

Bernardino and are looking to the city to search ways to bring a program to the city, keeping funds within the city. A meeting will be held again next week to continue discussions and seek long term goals to address animal control, including the possibility of leasing land to build and manage an animal shelter within the city. “We may have all of the pieces” to bring a “Colton Animal Placement” to the city, stated Councilmember Dierdre Bennett.

With the help of more than 100 volunteers, Wormser helps deliver thousands of pounds of food donated by area restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores to locations that help feed the hungry throughout the

Inland Empire. Known for driving more than 100 miles a day to make deliveries, Wormser doesn’t believe in waste, especially when it comes to good food that could go to people who really need it. While most of the food provided to Inland Harvest is collected from outside sources, Wormser said the money from the award will support purchases for food to benefit Inland Harvest. “We have our set routines but it’s the extras that always make life interesting,” she said. “We have been going for 20 years and we have delivered 26,000 million pounds of food in that period of time and really helping a lot of people.” Fall, a Vietnam War veteran received the “Hero of the Heartland” accolade for his contributions to the community through “Guitars for Vets,” a program aimed at helping veterans transition into civilian life. “I want to thank the people that have helped us get this started,” said Fall, who founded the Loma Linda based program. “Our biggest reward is seeing the smiles on the faces of the veterans when they graduate (from the program) and their testimonies are all that we need to keep doing this… people in this area have really restored my faith in the civilian pop-

More than 100 women veterans were honored at the University of Redlands Saturday. The women came from throughout the Inland Empire and make up the estimated 24,000 women veterans living within the Inland area. The women were presented with medals along with a certificate of proclamation declaring the week of March 17-23 as Women’s Military History Week in Redlands.

Also recognized and awarded as a Heartland Hero was Lisa Houston, president and CEO of FIND Food Bank in the Coachella Valley. Receiving the 2014 Captain Leland F. Norton award--Stater Bros. Charities most prestigious award-was Michael Goldware, an accomplished lawyer with a long history of support for veterans. He was instrumental in bringing the 1999 Congressional Medal of Honor Society Convention to Riverside and in the establishment of the Riverside National Cemetery Memorial and Monuments Committee, which has constructed three major monuments at Riverside National Cemetery. The awards were in conjunction with the seventh annual Stater Bros. Charities Dave Stockton Heroes Challenge -- an annual golf tournament that has raised more than $3 million over the past seven years to aid Southern California charities.

veteran along with a certificate of recognition from the Department of Veteran Affairs and Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, whose 40th District includes Redlands and Loma Linda. Additional guest speakers at the luncheon included Mickiela Montoya from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Combat Veterans who served for eight years in the California National Guard and Army Reserve; Elizabeth “Liz” Perez-Halperin, founder and CEO of GC Green and Navy Veterans, who served in the Navy for eight years as a logistics specialist; and Eldonna Lewis-Fernandez, CEO of Dynamic Vision and a 23-year Air Force veteran. The women shared stories of happiness and pain through the years spent in the service, but all delivered a similar message--strength in being a woman veteran. The Inland Empire Women Veterans Collaborative includes organizations such the University of Redlands, Cal Vet, San Bernardino County of Veterans Affairs, VA Loma Linda Healthcare System, and the San Bernardino Vet Center, among others.

Bringing about 114 women veterans together, the event was an effort to recognize the 24,000 women veterans in the Inland Empire and surrounding area. In honor of their years of selfless service in the military, Redlands Mayor Pro Tem Paul Foster read a proclamation recognizing the week of March 17-23 as Women’s Military History Week in Redlands. The proclamation was signed Feb. 18 by City Council. “..to the 1912 graduate of Redlands High School who served in the U.S. Navy during WWI… in WWII, Redlands women saw service in the Air Force as Women Airforce Service Pilots and the Women’s Army Corps. In Korea and Vietnam, many more of our residents served as nurses in all branches of the service,” said Foster during the luncheon. “Today, as you travel through the city of Redlands...you will see our Hometown Heroes banners spread throughout our community celebrating those that presently serve our nation. And finally in the core of our downtown, you’ll see banners that honor two very special women who gave the ultimate sacYazmin Alvarez is a reporter rifice for our freedom.” “We are proud of these women in with Inland Empire Community Newspapers and can be reached our community,” Foster added.

Words to think about: Loma Linda

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

ry to imagine what the Inland Empire was like in the early 1800’s. San Bernardino was little more than a Mormon outpost. Redlands was merely a crossroad. Highland was an orange growers dream and Loma Linda was called Mound City. Loma Linda is appropriately named. The Spanish words mean “pretty hill. “Even today, with all the modern high-rise buildings, the low hills are prominent. A casual ride from north to south and from east to west will make the rolling terrain obvious. For hundreds of years, from the pre-Columbian to the 18th century, the Valley was occupied by roving bands of Serrano Indians. They called the area “Guachama” which means “plenty to eat.” The Spanish invasion from Mexico began about 1772 when they started the mission system of influence. In 1810, as an outgrowth of the San Gabriel Mission, Father Dumetz established Rancho San Bernardino. Jump forward to 1905. Ellen White who was believed to have visions and could prophecy. She was told about Loma Linda and then told John Burden to purchase the defunct Loma Linda Sanitarium in 1905. The SDA was started by William Miller in 1844. Basically they worship on the Sabbath (Saturday), believe in the immanent return of Jesus, are primarily vegetarians and promote missions through hospitals which the Loma Linda Medical facility is best known. Loma Linda is known as a Blue Zone that is one of five throughout the world. It is based on the high percentage of its residents that live longer than other places. In November 2005 National Geographic Magazine identified Loma Linda “as one of only three places in the world where people live longer and healthier than just about anyone else on earth.” It further called Loma Linda residents as “America’s longevity all-stars.” It is all but impossible to pinpoint various aspects of the Loma Linda Medical Center. For example the number of doctors on the staff will vary from day to day. The department of Public Relations currently (3-5-14) says there are 709 doctors in the six hospitals under the LLUMC umbrella. The report of the annual number of patients is well over 1,500,000. LLUMC is a teaching hospital. At the Loma Linda campus they have two helipads for use by an air ambulance. The hospital made international fame on October 21, 1984 when Doctor Leonard l. Bailey transplanted a baboon heart into Baby Fae. Unfortunately she died a few weeks later. However, the effort has led to an infant transplant program. The LLUMC is affiliated with the University which includes schools

of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, public health, religion, public health, science and technology. They also have the James M. Slate Proton Treatment and Cancer Center. They focus on prostate cancer. Of particular interest to me is their Bodies for Science program. EPIC Management “provides management and consulting services to several physician groups in Southern California, including LLUMC and the Beaver Medical Group. In 1931 Redlands was just a small town. The Great Depression was at its worst. A young doctor came to town. He soon bought property at 2 W. Fern. By 1941 he had several associates. His name? Dr. Meredith Beaver. As a 16 year old, Beaver joined the army and served in France. After WWI he moved to Oregon, received his medical training at the University of Oregon and an advanced degree at the Mayo Clinic. During World War II Dr. Beaver, as a Colonel, “Oversaw several

army medical facilities.” After the war he returned to his practice in Redlands. In 1945 he established the Beaver Medical Clinic with three other doctors, Espey Cannon, MD., Joseph Hayhurst, M.D. and Gordon Witter, M.D. For over 60 years the Clinic has served the Inland Empire. Today the Clinic has over 170 physicians on its staff. Besides Redlands there are facilities at Highland, Yucaipa, Banning, and Colton. These facilities represent 25 medical specialties. Patients also have several on-site services: -Free Health education program -A Weight Loss program -Laboratory and Radiology services -Walk-in urgent care facilities -Medical advice available by phone. As with LLUMC, Beaver employees are hired by EPIC which has over 1400 employees on its staff. Amen. Selah. So be it.

Jazmine Collins “I’m not bossy, I am the boss”

ow many times have I been called bossy, let me count the ways- one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand… Being “bossy” comes natural to me. I like to call my “bossiness,” leadership. Maybe it’s just a more non-confrontational way of defining my personality. Either way. It took a long time to earn the title of Bossy. In elementary, I liked to lead. I was very competitive and always tried my best at everything I did. During my middle school and high school years, things changed. I dealt with a lot of peers calling me names like “teacher’s pet,” “suck up,” “know-it-all” and so on. I eventually got tired of hearing all of that and felt like being a leader was not worth the mockery. So I resorted to becoming more of an introvert. I became shy and timid. I eventually became socially awkward and loathed having to talking to people. I preferred staying between four walls and expressing myself through poems or drawings- no one would criticize me then. It became second-nature to shell up and avoid human contact at all costs. Once I made it out into the real world, the working world, I decided that being an introvert with no voice wasn’t going to get me anywhere. So I decided to change my habits, and the best way to do that was to jump into a field that forced me to talk to complete strangers. It was a career path that was a total nightmare for the introvert I was— I went into sales. I no longer had the comforts of hiding behind a telephone or a sheet of paper and a pencil. I had to get out and talk to people I had never met. On top of that, I had to convince them I had a product/service they absolutely needed. Was I insane? I think maybe a little.

It took me several years to build my confidence again. I finally realized my worth. I saw that I had a lot to offer to the world outside. I learned to become a leader again. And it felt pretty good. Then came the word: BOSSY. “She’s so bossy.” “Who does she think she is?” “She thinks she knows everything.” “She’s got such a bossy attitude.” Haters. One thing lead to another and I did take the role as boss- for my own small businesses and for a large corporation. Taking on the role as a “boss” doesn’t come easy, and it’s not for everyone. I had to deal with enough stress to turn my gray hairs green. But nonetheless, I got what I was searching for. I found purpose and I realized that 10+ years of consistently pushing myself to become a leader had finally paid off. So where am I going with this? Well, there have been recent efforts to ban the word “bossy.” A campaign is being lead by Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook. Her efforts are being supported by former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Beyonce, fashion designer Diane Von Furstenburg, Girls Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chavez, among several other major names. Beyonce couldn’t have said it better: “I’m not bossy. I am the boss.” Although I’m not much of a Beyonce fan, but I do stand behind the confidence behind that statement. The first words you read on the website, www.banbossy.com are: “When a little boy asserts himself, he's called a ‘leader.’ Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded ‘bossy.’ Words like bossy send a message: don't raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys— a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.” I couldn’t relate more to those words. This initiative will help to empower young ladies across the nation and across the globe with the confidence to become leaders and continue on throughout their school years and into the workforce. I for one, pledge to #banbossy. I pledge to eliminate the word from my vocabulary. I hope you will do the same. Check out the website, become informed and make the pledge. All little girls need a mentor, all young girls need positive reinforcement.

Grand Terrace has a chance to save itself

The residents of Grand Terrace are hard-working people, many with long commutes. The demands of raising a family and work leave little time for civic engagement. This situation, replicated across the state and nation, engenders a “micro-political environment” of those voters who do have the time to engage.

If the Feb. 28 story about the Cal Poly cyclist who fell victim to a traffic accident tells us nothing else, it should speak to us that road rage is not limited to just the drivers of motor vehicles.

Bicyclists often seem to enjoy free spirits and, all too often, appear to presume that they are above and beyond the rules of the road, which apply to cyclists as well as people who elect to transport themselves from here to there in an automobile. I went through the pre- and post-

This city has a chance to save itself. First, the citizens must know what is going on at City Hall. Second, bitter “camp” divisions must move toward “civil, responsible action.” What I mean is that we must collaborate to solve these serious challenges facing the city. While we failed to appoint a new member to the council, we do have a November election. This is the time to display our best leadership and show courage.

adolescent ages in the small village surrounded by citrus groves, which is called Claremont. Even in those early days, we had bicycles on our city streets and in many of these same small towns, the city fathers saw fit to issue operator’s permits to bicycle riders. There were some pseudo-bike-training classes that were held in conjunction with local schools and the local police departments, during which the bikers had to pass mini-DMV examinations to assure the city fathers that the bikers were aware of traffic laws and local regulations aimed at traffic controls and gen-

eral safety measures to keep the bikers in their place and, hopefully, safe.

Perhaps it’s time once again to see fit to license bike riders to assure that they are sufficiently well trained to ride their bikes in a safe and sane manner. I realize that any such “tests” will probably inflame the bikers who think that they are above and beyond our scrutiny, but it simply “goes with the territory” of being a safe bicyclist. Arthur M.

Coming into the role as a city council member, I understood the finances of the city were bleak. We were compelled to declare a “fiscal emergency” and place a utility tax, Measure C, on the ballot. Measure C failed. After its failure we had an embarrassing discovery of “unanticipated revenues.”

$100,000 deficit in 2015. It seemed like a good, palatable path back to solvency. I felt confident with new business locating in our city we could close the gap. The problems were still huge; we are operating the city with an inadequate staffing complement, a retired city manager, retired assistant city manager and contract finance staff. At some point we will need permanent staff which brings the added costs of funding benefits.

South Colton residents skeptical of persistent company

By Harvey M. Kahn

mador Roman and 149 neighbors in South Colton are asking for some peace and quiet and if possible, a breathe of fresh air. Like their ancestors of one hundred years ago, most have adjusted to sounds and smells of living adjacent to railroad lines and related industry. Those on Congress Street have tolerated large semi's traveling through, often causing an eyesore by illegally parking overnight on city streets. Roman and others now say they have been patient enough. Since a pallet making company closed one year ago after 26 years, it's been reasonably tranquil in his neighborhood. "But now a concrete storage company wants to move in to the vacant building. That means more large trucks." The company that Amador mentions is Largo Concrete of Upland. It has been denied a conditional use permit by the Colton City Planning Commission and by the City Council. Largo is determined to get Colton's approval and is currently

going through a lengthy appeal process. "Basically, we don't want anymore truck traffic going through our neighborhood and the diesel fumes that comes with it," said Roman, whose family home has been on Congress Street for 70 years. "This is the mother of all cases. It has gone back and forth before the city," said Dr. Luis "Dr. G" Gonzalez of Colton who has joined other residents in opposition of Largo Concrete. "I think that Largo got the message that the residents of South Colton do not want them as neighbors. The residents wonder why this keeps coming up before the City, when it has already been denied. This case is a biggie. Largo is well-financed and they have lawyers to represent them." According to San Bernardino County Superior Court records, Largo Concrete, Inc. has existing litigation against the City of Colton. "Dr. G" is a story himself. A former band director at Colton High and Cal State University, San Bernardino, Gonzales decided to retire from his profession of 35 years and run for Colton City

Council. During his unsuccessful first attempt two years ago, he received a crash course in local politics by walking the neighborhoods of South Colton. "At first, I did not know anything about running for office but after walking these streets for two years, I can't believe how much I've learned," said Gonzalez. Gonzalez says he is running for Colton City Council and will be on the ballot this November. Among his newly gained knowledge about Colton City government is the ability to navigate through thousands of pages of agendas, meeting minutes and supporting staff backup materials. He is often the only voice representing the under-represented. "I am doing this because I believe in public service. I am a strong Christian and I believe in people." Gonzales says that Largo Concrete's future in Colton is based on it receiving a conditional use permit. He referred to an Colton ordinance enacted in 1984 whereby that part of South Colton is in a "Sensitive Development Overlay Zone." That neighborhood, says Gonzales, has been determined by

the City of Colton to be unfit for the kind of business Largo Concrete wants to conduct." The property in question is 7.6 acres. Largo Concrete spokesman Paul Burkel replied that his company chose Colton as a site to centralize the storage of construction materials. "We were looking for a good "turn-key" location and the former pallet company fit our needs. We'd have a maximum of five large, semi-sized trucks going in and out per week," said Burkel, who is the Southern California daily operations yard manager for Largo. In the phone interview, Burkel said this was the first time that he purchased such property for Largo. He said that other companies that he works with told him Colton was a good place. "We have jobs in Los Angeles and San Diego and this is central. I looked in Fontana and Bloomington. In Colton, there were already a bunch of industrial businesses. At first, we didn't hear about anyone not wanting us. We didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings." Burkel acknowledged that his firm has appeared at four Colton City Council meetings and one planning com-

mission meeting. He said that Largo is "probably" suing Colton but in his position, he doesn't have anything to do with legal issues. "In 1984, the City of Colton changed the zoning to protect the health and safety of that neighborhood. That trumps everything," said Gary Grossich, a Colton businessman who's served on numerous land use committees in the past 35 years. "That neighborhood is already over saturated with industry. There is only one way in and one way out. It's near Wilson Elementary. Of course they think they can slam dunk this," said Grossich. "As a storage yard, Largo will not contribute sales tax to the city. Largo says it wants to be a good neighbor. The residents are skeptical. There is a lot more to this story." The Largo Concrete, Inc website indicates that it contracts large scale developments and renovations. It fast tracked major renovations through the night this off season at Dodgers' Stadium. Among other projects Largo completed in 2013, were the Courtyard Marriot, Harrah's, and Stanford University.

Green Leadership Summit highlights sustainability

On Feb. 26 UC Riverside, the city of Riverside and Riverside Public Utilities hosted the second Green Leadership Summit on the UCR campus. Pictured are Chancellor Kim Wilcox (right) and Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey after signing the collaborative agreement during the event.

By MJ Duncan

or the second year in a row UC Riverside, the city of Riverside and the Riverside Public Utilities collaborated to host the Green Leadership Summit at the university’s Alumni and Visitor Center on Feb. 26. Presentations of Riverside’s current sustainability practices, means of encouraging UCR students to stay and work locally after gradua-

tion, and ways to create green practices throughout the region as well as the display of sustainability successes at UCR and RPU were presented to over 80 guests who attended the summit. Dignitaries in attendance included UCR Chancellor Kim Wilcox, Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey, and RPU Assistant General Manager Michael Bacich. Mayor Rusty Bailey showed support for efforts to date and promised

support for sustainability projects moving forward. “We’re continuing the momentum of previous generations and mayors with the mission of sustainability. I’m proud to carry the torch and take a step forward to continue our work. We’re in growth mode and we need to do things the right way.” Speakers discussed UCR’s commitment to sustainability, which described future goals, the reduction of use of potable water for campus operations and solar energy and transportation and the achievement of climate neutrality, where the campus would have no net-climateimpact from carbon or other greenhouse gases by 2025.

At the event’s conclusion, Wilcox and Bailey signed a collaborative agreement to work together to ensure sustainability for the current and future residents of Riverside. The agreement provides for two-tofour paid internships for UCR undergraduate and graduate students to assist the city on sustainability projects. These internships will aid the city in further advancing sustainability while providing encouragement for students to stay in Riverside after graduation. “As a member of the UCR community, it’s hard not to feel proud of all that we have accomplished as a university and as a community. But, it’s also very humbling to think

of the work that still needs to be done,” Wilcox said. Bailey also mentioned the CoolCalifornia City Challenge as a resource for individuals who want to make a difference in sustainability now. The challenge, whose sponsors include Energy Upgrade California and the University of California Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory, encourages residents to reduce their carbon footprints, and earn prize money to help support sustainability program development.

Latinas Educating, Empowering Communities “Empower” local women leaders

By Anthony Victoria

others, students, and professionals in San Bernardino were given recognition for their hardwork and commitment during the Latinas Educating and Empowering Communities (L.E.E.C.) International Women’s Day event on Saturday March 8. L.E.E.C. recognized the following women: professionals Dr. Lori Caruthers Collins, Bradley EleSchool Principal mentary Nereida Gutierrez; two community mothers and outstanding leader volunteers Lupita Jimenez and Rodolfina Gamino; and young women student leaders, Rocio Aguayo, Alicia Aguayo, Cristina Ruiz, Erika Ruiz, Rocio Ruiz-Chen, and Lyzzeth Mendoza. The mission of the organization, as L.E.E.C co-founder Maria Guadalupe Ortiz said, is to supply the community with different resources and information in regards to student programs and other educational resources. One of their main focal points is to provide information to parents of un-

documented students who qualify for financial aid through the California DREAM Act. With many schools lacking the information necessary to assist these students, L.E.E.C. believes it is imperative that they work with community leaders and their constituents to address these issues. “Each and one of us works for a non profit organization,” said San Bernardino City Unified School District board member and L.E.E.C. co-founder Abigail Medina. “We all have a lot of passion to work in the community to help each one of you. A lot of nonprofits struggle to get off the ground and hold activities but we want to make sure it is not a road block. That is why we are holding this event to make sure we extend our resources beyond San Bernardino and into other cities.” Wendy Muniz, 21, a third year Sociology student at Cal State San Bernardino and “DREAMer” (refers to students who qualify for the California DREAM Act) said she is involved with L.E.E.C because she wants to take a stand for those who do not have the necessary resources and who are too afraid to ask for help.

“This is my way of giving back,” she said. “A lot of people don’t know about these resources and don’t know where to go to help. Some are just too afraid to come out. They need to know that the opportunity is there and that there is hope for a better future.” In addition, Muniz believes that opponents for immigration reform need to understand that undocumented residents are hardworking people who deserve a chance to live their dream. “I think it will take them a while to realize,” said Muniz. “But I think it all starts with information. There are statis-

tics that show many of these people are taxpayers and show that many are here to work hard to live a better life. We should not fight with these people, we need to inform them.” Gutierrez, who attended San Bernardino Unified School District schools as a youth, said she felt “honored” and is proud to be a product of San Bernardino. As of late she has helped parents organ-

ize trips to CSUSB and has been a proponent of the Local Control Accountability Plan that will provide parent input in regards to educational funding. She believes there are plenty of opportunities out there for “We have the tools and capacity to take every child to college,” she said. “We can give them the opportunities to be whoever they want.”

New housing development draws home shoppers to Rialto

35-home gated community--Bloomington Lane--under development is drawing several to call the Rialto-area home. Recently, dozens of home shoppers visited the Frontier Communities development and toured floor plans during a Feb. 22 open house. Area residents like Sarah Deigh were among those viewing the plans in search of new digs. Deigh, who currently lives in Riverside, was on the hunt for a new place closer to work--in Rialto. The daily drive from Riverside to Rialto and dealing with the bottleneck congestion along the I-215 has become beyond stressful and what was once a 20-minute drive, is now 45-plus, “on a lucky day,” she explained “Sure you look for something that’s aesthetically pleasing. But honestly,it comes down to location for me,” Deigh said as she toured one of the floor plans with her daughter. “Plus, Rialto is really starting to develop into a jobfriendly community, and that’s a perk for my husband who’s currently out of work.” Frontier Communities area manager Doug Stewart touts the appeal

of the housing development on those same reasons. “The accessibility to the freeway and the closeness to surrounding areas has been a real draw.” The project was originally designed as three-story condos in the area but after the downfall of the market, was never completed.

Frontier then took over the project, Stewart explained. “This was a real opportunity because we could change the product,” said Stewart. “The traditional three-story condo isn’t something that a lot of families were in the market for… by changing the product we were able to provide people with a feel of a detached home.” The homes are priced in the mid $200,000s and range from 1,918- to 2,145-square-feet with up to four bedrooms and two and a half baths. They offer a useable private backyard, comfortable space between homes, a landscaped front yard, a pool with showers and the security of a gated community, explained IECN PHOTO/YAZMIN ALVAREZ Stewart.

The audience cheer on their favorite teams as they compete for a spot at the FIRST Championship, to be held in St. Louis, MO this coming April. By Jazmine Collins

he second-annual Inland Empire FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition was held at Grand Terrace High School on March 3rd 2014. The competition hosted 46 high-school student teams who competed for their chance to earn a spot at the FIRST Championship in St. Louis, MO, which will be held April 23-26, 2014. The 2014 game, named “Arial Assist,” is played by two alliances comprised of three teams competing to score as many goals as possible during a two-minute and 30-second match. Robots work together to score goals by throwing and catching balls over a truss suspended approximately five feet above the floor, securing additional points. Over a six-week period, students are equipped with a kit of parts and a standard set of rules. They work with professional mentors to design and build a robot suitable for winning one of several awards. Teams are awarded based on design excellence, competitive play, sportsmanship and high-impact partnerships between schools, businesses and communities. Participating students are eligible to apply for over $19 million in scholarships from leading universities, colleges and companies, which will be announced during the FIRST Championship in St. Louis. According to a release, “Since its beginning, FIRST has significantly improved students’ attitudes towards math, science and teamwork. Students who participate

show increased interest in pursuing internship and employment opportunities in science and engineering, especially with companies that are involved with FIRST.” FIRST Senior Mentor, Rick Sisk spoke about the uniqueness of the program saying, “We are providing an environment where kids can get excited about science and technology. Kids that might be shy at a school dance are on the competition floor dancing to YMCA with judges, mentors, mascots and their friends. It is a world where they can have fun, work hard, and learn so many great skills that will help them for the rest of their lives. The work is

hard, the rewards are huge.” Accomplished inventor Dean Kamen founded FIRST in 1989 to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people. Based in Manchester, N.H., FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs to build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills while motivating young people to pursue opportunities in science, technology, and engineering.

Mission Elementary School celebrates “Read Across America Day ”

Mission Elementary School teacher Andrea Walker's class happily "sport" their colorful head gear based on the famous stylings of The Cat -- from Dr. Seuss's famous book "The Cat in the Hat." The hats were in recognition of "Read Across America Day" celebration usually held on the birthday of Dr. Seuss. In 1997, a National Education Association task force came up with the idea for the event as a way to encourage children to read books. The celebration has become an annual nationwide event.

As part of the "Read Across America Day" celebration at Redland's Mission Elementary School, athletes and cheerleaders from Redlands Citrus Valley High School, as well as firefighters from Loma Linda and Sheriff’s deputies from San Bernardino County, were invited to read books to the Mission students, grades K through 5.

By Patrick Fite

tudents at Mission Elementary School in Redlands were among children districtwide and nationwide who participated in the National Education Association’s (NEA) “Read Across America Day” celebration, which is held annually in March on the birthday of the late, famed author Dr. Seuss. In 1997, an NEA task force came up with the idea for the event as a way to encourage children to read books. The theme at Mission Elementary School this year was “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.” As part of the celebration at the school, athletes and cheerleaders from Redlands Citrus Valley High School, as well as firefighters from Loma Linda and sheriff’s deputies from San Bernardino County, were invited to read books to the Mission students, grades K through 5. In instructor Robert Whitfield’s class, one firefighter chose to read “The Snotty Book of Snot” by Connie Miller. Since he knew he would be visiting a fifth grade class, the

firefighter picked a book he figured would interest that age group. “It was a pretty funny story,” class teacher Whitfield said. “It was all true stuff. The current focus is on reading nonfiction. The book was about how snot keeps the body healthy. It’s written in a good, kid friendly way, and it has some great pictures. The class got a kick out of it. It actually fits in well with fifth grade science, where we are studying human body systems.” “The class responded with appropriate ‘uuuuhs’ and ‘grosses” and laughter," Whitfield said. “It was a perfect choice.” Whitfield added that the students always enjoy having stories read to them, even in fifth grade, and they enjoy reading stories together in class. According to Whitfield, reading is a main focus in elementary school. For example in his class, they are assigned to read 30 minutes for homework every night, and they do a lot of in-class reading. “A main push in elementary school is to get the students prepared for reading and to understand what they’re reading,” Whitfield said.

Mission Elementary Principal Tim Hoch praised the visiting athletes and public safety professionals for reading to the classrooms and explaining how reading is important for the students if they are going to be successful in their future school experiences and jobs. Hoch also recognized the NEA, the teachers union, and the classified employees association for taking time to promote the event and assist in the activities. He thanked Redlands Unified School District Athletic Coordinator Pat Hafley for recruiting athletes from all the district high schools to visit schools and participate for “Read Across America Day.” Participating from Citrus Valley were the the football, soccer, softball, and basketball teams as well as the the cheerleaders and the mascot. “The kids are are very excited, not only to see the players in jerseys and the mascot, but it also gave them a little break from routine,” he said. Students put together their red and white striped hats based on the style worn by the famous “Cat in the Hat,” and donned them for the cel-

ebration. In teacher Andrea Walker’s kindergarten class, visitors read Dr. Seuss books, and the youngsters watched Seuss movies. They also played games, like the “At Family Game.” In the game, the kids have a hat, and they have to make words to put in the hat using the word “at” -- like cat, rat, bat, etc. School Librarian Jennifer Williams coordinated the activities of the volunteers as well as spearheaded the “Read Across America Day” poster contest. Each class created a poster based on the theme of the event, and then all the students selected the best one. “Through these activities, the kids get even more excited about books,” she said. “They love coming to the library. It just takes one book and they’re hooked. Any day to celebrate reading and to expose them to books like Dr. Seuss makes a difference. Williams worked closely with PTA chairperson Eva Bell to bring the event to the school this year. "Eva’s been great to work with,” she said. “These activities were chosen to demonstrate to students that reading is not just fundamental, but it’s fun, too,” Bell said. “By having athletes and cheerleaders from Citrus Valley High School read their favorite books to the students, they begin to understand that strong reading skills will help them as they

progress through school.” Based on Bell’s experience volunteering at the school, she noticed that children who struggled with reading took longer to complete class work and bec“Reading opens up many doors and opportunities,” she said. “Everything we do requires a certain mastery of reading, so it is important to get children excited about reading as early as possible.” Citrus Valley Athletic Director Boyd Lium believes the celebration was also a good experience for the Citrus students. “They loved it,” he said. “It’s fun for our athletes and athletes from other high schools to be involved. Our students came back with smiles and had a really good time. The mascot (a large hawk) was a big hit. This gets the children excited about reading and is the kind of event that Redlands Unified School District enjoys doing.” “My two kids love reading,” Lium said. “They read more than I do. You have to read to make it iParent Jessica Dawkins-Avila served as a volunteer reader for a third grade class and noticed how attentive the students were. “I read ‘Hugs in a Bug,’” she said. “When I was reading, they didn’t say a word. They listened, and then later raised their hands to answer and ask questions. It was fun. You can tell this is something they look forward to next year."

Nick Przybylek started the ninth for SBVC (12-6, 4-2 FC) leading 3-1 and retired the first batter he faced before allowing a double and a single to back to back hitters.

Darren Espinoza’s team is trying to improve from there third place finish in the San Andreas League last season. They finished 17-10 overall, 11-4 in league, making it to the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3 playoffs. The game began as a pitchers duel with both hurlers managing to thwart any offensive threats. The Knights were first to get on the scoreboard in the 4th inning when an infield single, followed by a mishandled throw from the Skyhawks first baseman allowed catcher Jared Soto to move to third. Senior infielder Vinny Flores would drive in Soto with a single to right-center to give them the lead. After two consecutive batters struck out for the Knights, Senior Eddie Padilla would drive a fastball to right-center to bring in two more runs, giving Rialto a 3-0. A troubling 5th inning for the Knights allowed the Skyhawks to comeback and eventually take the lead when consecutive walks and

an error loaded the bases. Another walk would allow Summit to get there first run of the game. Things worsened in the inning when a wild pitch allowed another run to score and an infield error brought in the tying run. Soto threw the ball down to second, motivating the Skyhawks runner on third to head home. The throw from Knights shortstop Padilla did not make it on time, giving Summit the lead at 4-3. In the 6th inning two consecutive walks and a infield bunt single would load the bases for Rialto and another walk with two outs allowed the tying run to score. An infield single by Brian Giron put the Knights back in the lead at 54.

The Knights would come out smiling in the end when RBI singles by Manuel Barron and Padilla gave them an 8-7 lead. The game would be put out of reach by Rialto following another pair of singles by Gerardo Chavez and Jason Ochoa. Padilla finished the game going 3-for-4 and three RBIs. Manny Barron went 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs.

he mullet, shoulder pads, Aqua Net and big hair. The ‘80s returned for an evening in Redlands during the Montessori in Redlands school’s 17th annual Spring Gala and Auction on Sunday. The event took place at the Mitten Building in downtown Redlands. According to Jill McDermott, the school’s development coordinator and gala chairwoman, attendance this year exceeded expectations, drawing over 215 people, and raising $41,000 in both the live and silent auctions. Funds from ticket sales are still to be determined at time of publication.

Funds raised will be allocated toward launching the second phase of the school’s green initiative, which will entail installing solar panels across campus. A portion of the proceeds, McDermott, said, will also go towards financial aid for families who need it. The gala offers a different theme each year; last year it was a Parisian theme. “It was a lot of fun,” McDermott described the event. “It was a perfect theme because a lot of our parents grew up in the ‘80s, and this year we surprised everyone with a Thriller flash mob, and everyone really enjoyed that.” Hundreds of donors contributed to the silent auctions, which, according to McDermott, amounted to

over $16,000. Items ranged from Disneyland tickets to gift certificates to á la minute in Redlands. Additionally, each classroom creates an item that would be included in the auction. One class, for example, created an Abraham Lincoln penny frame, comprising of 842 pennies, and a toddler class contributed a painting of an orange grove. McDermott acknowledged the generosity of the community who rallies its support for the school each year in the form of their donations. Planning for the event begins a year in advance.

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 the property. 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.

Marc Anthony fights child support increase

nthony currently pays $13,000 (£7,772) a month in child support to Torres and their children. TMZ reports that Torres has now filed a motion asking for $113,000 (£67,559) a month from Anthony.

She claims that her children have grown accustomed to a certain level of wealth when they stay with their father, but live in relative poverty when they are with her.

Torres allegedly wants the extra money in order to pay for a full house staff and chef, as well as the opportunity to take the children on

travels around the world.

Anthony responded to her request in a legal document stating that more money for the kids would "spoil them rotten".

Bieber appeared at a court in Miami last Thursday (March 6) to defend himself in a case brought by photographer Jeffrey Binion. The photographer claims that Bieber ordered four of his bodyguards to forcibly remove the memory card from Binion’s camera after he took photos of Bieber outside recording studio ‘The Hit Factory’ in June 2013.

TMZ has released four clips totalling eight minutes from Bieber’s five-hour testimony. In one clip, Bieber is asked about his former mentor Usher, who played

In the statement, the psychologist argued that children who grow up with unlimited funds "become high-risk for illicit drugs, alcohol and a fast-paced lifestyle that they are not emotionally capable of handling".

In reference to Torres's desire for a cooking staff, he added: "I cook or we order in. We often get Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut or Chinese food."

The singer has also reportedly hired a psychologist, who wrote a statement to the judge explaining "the problems of children who are raised with near unlimited funds, particularly children in Los Angeles whose parents have made very

Since splitting from Torres, and more recently from Jennifer Lopez, Anthony has been dating Top Shop heiress Chloe Green.

'Bachelor' Juan Pablo Blames Cultural Differences Over Latest Controversy

ecent immigrants who barely speak English seem to make fewer gaffes with the English language than American-born Juan Pablo Galavis.

“The Bachelor” star, who grew up in Venezuela, once again blamed his background after he came under fire for making light of offensive language. Galavis encountered a backlash after he retweeted someone apparently poking fun at the mentally handicap and who used the r word.

"Not every flower can save love, but a rose can,” said the tweet. “Not every plant survives thirst, but a cactus can. Not every r***** can read, but look at you go, little buddy!”

Galavis not only retweeted it, but he also wrote: “Loved it.”

Galavis brushed off the controversy, and blamed his poor choice of words on the fact that English is his second language.

“perverts, in a sense.” He later apologized and blamed his choice of words on a language barrier.

“In Venezuela the R word is USED commonly and by NO means is to OFFEND anyone… #Relax #DifferentCulture #Respect,” he wrote on Twitter. He later deleted the tweet, though he told his followers to “learn culture.”

It wasn’t the first time a statement landed "The Bachelor" in hot water. Earlier this year, he said he opposed having a gay “Bachelor” because homosexuals were

Drew Barrymore: "I don't think I'm a good actor"

rew Barrymore, who comes from a family of legendary actors and has been working in showbiz since she was just 11 months old, doesn't think too highly of her own acting abilities.

The 39-year-old star sat down for a recent interview with The New York Times' T magazine alongside her co-host of TCM's "The Essentials," Robert Osbourne. In it, the two spoke about classic movies, their mentors and advice they were given.

essica Simpson has been steadily losing weight after giving birth to her second child last summer, and now she looks and feels better than ever.

"I can honestly say I've never been happier," Simpson, 33, said in a new Weight Watchers commercial. "I have a newfound determination that I'm really proud of." Simpson, who gave birth to two

Barrymore credited her "E.T." director Steven Spielberg as being her mentor.

"Steven told me, 'Don't act your characters. Be your characters,'" she revealed.

"I don't think I'm a good actor," Barrymore admitted. "I feel like it's fake and yucky and it just doesn't ring true. If you research and you study and make it personal, you just become that person, and it's your truth and everything else around you falls away. Then you're telling the

truth, it's not lying, it's not fake."

"So he gave me that wisdom because at 6, I guess I was comfortable and more humorous than I would have remembered now," she continued. "But once I got older and kept continuing acting, I don't know if I would have succeeded without that advice, because it's the thing that saved me. I'm not an actor, I'm a pretender." PHOTO COURTESY

Jessica Simpson Reveals Her New Body! children in two years, told "Good Morning America" last month that she "couldn't believe" the numbers on the scale. Group meetings at Weight Watchers have been helpful for her in her slim-down journey. "When I started Weight Watchers, I wasn't sure what to expect at the meetings, but I really love going. It reminds me we don't have to do this alone," she ex-

plained in the video. "It's so much better to have backup and to do it together because we all face similar challenges. The meetings keep me focused and motivated." One reason the motivation is important, Simpson explained in February, is because she's planning a wedding to her longtime fiancé, former NFL tight end Eric Johnson. PHOTO COURTESY

City of San Bernardino offers aquatics training, certification

Former participants gather at Jerry Lewis Family Swim Center for aquatics classes.

By Jazmine Collins

he City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is set to launch Aquatics Training Programs. Classes include Lifeguard Training Instructor certification and Water Safety Instructor certification through “Water Safety Today.” Applications for summer employment as Pool Manager, Senior Lifeguard, and Lifeguard (Swim Instructor) are only available to certified personnel. Classes are currently being offered, however space and availability are limited so interested parties are encouraged to register early. Lifeguard Training classes will be available in two sessions beginning April 18th & 19th and 24th through 27th. Session two will be from May 1st-4th and 8th through 10th. A swim test will be required one week prior to the first date of each session. This training course is available for anyone age 15 and older. Successful completion of this course will meet all certification requirements for lifeguarding at swimming pools in the State of California.This Red Cross course will provide training in Lifeguarding, CPR and First Aid. The cost for the Lifeguard Training class is $125 plus and Authorized Provider fee of $35 that will go to the Red Cross.

"The greater benefits of the swim classes is to teach kids how to swim because the leading cause of death among youth 14 and under is drowning. And the lifeguard training classes are so youths can become future lifeguards and give back to the community by staying here to work in future summers, which a lot of them do,” said Charlie C. Manson, Community Recreation Program Coordinator.

Water Safety classes will provide information about various aquatic environments and help to inform the general public on safe participation in aquatic activities. Classes take place one Tuesday per month from February through December, beginning April 1 and continuing May 6th, June 3rd, July 1, August 5th & September 9th. Classes will be conducted from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The cost for the Water Safety class is $40 per individual and $60 for couples. Non-residents will pay an additional 10% fee on all classes. For more information on training/certification classes, contact the Main Office at (909) 3845233. For Summer Aquatics employment inquiries, contact the City of San Bernardino Job Line at (909) 382-5376 or visit Human Resources on the Second Floor, City Hall, 300 N. D Street, San Bernardino.
