e receiving an award from a city council member? I am lucky to have been awarded such a high honor. For I am an individual who

would rather stay behind the scenes. One who occupies his time reporting, writing, and photographing events and contributions of Inland Empire residents.

Speaking on behalf of myself, as a relatively new member of San

Bernardino Generation Now (SBGN), I do not find myself worthy of such distinction. My fellow group members, however, who SBGN cont. on next page

Cajon High School focusing on the Three R’s: Reduce Reuse Recycle

A

t Cajon High School, the students in Gregory Berenato’s science class spent some time focusing on the three R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

The class used common household items like used water bottles, wire coat hangers, drinking straws, and used coffee filters to construct toy racecars. The racers were held together with glue made from pine tree sap and campfire ash. Instead of gasoline, a mixture of vinegar and baking soda fueled the racers.

Berenato created the class project to educate his students about the importance of reusing and recycling items, but also to reinforce the concepts of creativity and scientific inquiry.

“It’s important that students think about the environment, and it is equally important that they think of new and creative ways to use the resources and materials we have in this world,” Berenato said.

Berenato’s students really got into the creative aspects of the project, even thinking up a few slogans for their racers. Some of the most popular were “If it isn’t ash, then it isn’t trash,” and “Why waste the resources given to us when you can have fun with them?”

have dedicated the past year recruiting fresh young faces and putting in hours of hard work to improve San Bernardino are worthy of such important recognition.

It was only right for me to step aside to take photographs of my colleagues as they gathered around in awe of their rightfully deserved accomplishment.

The group is comprised mainly of college students who have strived to get more voter turnout among their age demographic.

They also aim to improve the public morale of our city by organizing community events such as park clean-ups, bike rides, and political forums.

After members of SBGN ap-

proached the podium to receive their Citizens of the Month certificates from Fifth Ward representative Henry Nickel during a San Bernardino City Council meeting on Monday May 19, Jennica Billins, who is referred to as the “mother of the movement” by some SBGN members because of her modest attitude and devotion to helping others, asked to address the council members and residents in attendance.

The 28-year-old University of California, San Diego graduate is one of the lead organizers of CommUnity Fest; the event scheduled for May 31 that will offer free activities, live music and art for the people of San Bernardino. As she thanked the council for recognizing the group, she admitted that

being recognized by the city council was a surprise and went on to explain the significance of the youth movement.

“We’re a movement more than we are an organization,” she said.

“To come up with a list of names is a little bit challenging because there are so many of us . We continue to want to attract more people. We want to let you know that we are just getting started. This is just the beginning.”

In the words of councilmember Nickel, SBGN recognizes themselves as the “Now Generation of this city, the thinkers, the people who care to make a difference and who strive to be the change in the face of adversity.”

“My perspective is you can’t force people to do anything,” said

Nickel during an interview. “But when people willingly and voluntarily put in their time and effort to do something good, you need to recognize. It’s our job as elected officials to make sure that when people are active in the community that we recognize them and give them their due credit.”

“It was a great honor to receive recognition for our efforts,” said Richard Tejada, one of the original members of the group and a current Associate Legislative Aide to Mayor Carey Davis. “We work hard to improve our community because we feel it's our duty as members of it. We do it because there is a need for citizens to be more involved.”

Tejada believes that the group

can have a positive effect on the city and inspire residents to become more engaged in social and political affairs.

“We truly appreciate the recognition and hope it inspires the rest of the community to be proactive and help improve our city.”

Members recognized were: Jennica Billins, Rachel Kanakaole, Richard Tejada, Christian Flores, Louver Cara, Klemen Cara, Jorge Heredia, Saniyyah Thomas, Fabian Torres, Ivan Aguayo, Michael Segura, Brandon Aguilera, Jimmy Bradley, Jose Quezada, Rusty Palmer, Cesar Gomez, Eric Lemus, Simone Hall, Matthew Greenleaf, Victoria Garcia, and Karla Elizarraraz.

neglect. Last year, more than 1,300 children were treated and nearly half were under the age of 5.

“This is the largest single gift in Children’s Fund’s history,” states Erin Phillips, president & CEO of Children’s Fund. “This gift will support the Center's continued emergency response to children, as well as provide a seed investment for a Children's Fund endowment, which will help protect the future of the Center.”

The lobby of the Children’s Assessment Center has been named the A. Gary Anderson Family Foundation Lobby in response to their generosity.

“It is our mission and passion to Photo/Courtesy carry on my father’s legacy to support at-risk and abused children.

Children’s Assessment Center in san Bernardino.

Gary and I promise we will do which serves children from San Bernardino county, ages 0-18, who are suspected victims of abuse and everything in our power to protect

and serve our kids in this community.” states daughter of A. Gary Anderson, Erin Lastinger.

“It’s hard to see the cruelty that people inflict upon children,” states Dr. Clare Sheridan-Matney, medical director for the Children’s Assessment Center. “It is especially touching when you meet children who have managed to retain innocence and humanity throughout it all.” Speaking about the new Center, Sheridan-Matney continued, “We want the children to feel comfortable at the Center.

We want them to understand that they do matter, that we are here for them, and they do have a voice.”

the public safety, health fields and vocational careers. In addition there were many recognition and award ceremonies. Congratulations to the graduates, the winners of scholarships and to those who are receiving certifications and recognition in their chosen areas of study. A deep felt thank you to the faculty, staff and administrators for their part in our students' success. I especially want to commend the families and friends who give our students the moral and financial support for their educational journey. And to the community organizations that raise funds year-around to provide scholarships, thank you.

Gloria’s Corner

Vote:

Only a few days until the election, many have already voted via absentee ballot and maybe given the large number of voters who use this method the primary has already been determined. I voted and mailed my ballot earlier this week and I am spending my time calling family, friends and neighbors urging them to vote. A low voter turn out is expected and that is a shame, given the people in our history worked so hard to ensure the vote for women, the 18 year-olds, and the under represented. It is our responsibility as citizens to vote.

Yes, there are cases of corrupt politicians and certainly large contributors with their own selfinterest are constantly hammering away at elected officials.

However, it is our fault if we do not make our elected officials responsible and accountable.

Right now many of us are attending graduation ceremonies and celebrations and thousands of young Americans are starting a new chapter in their lives, lets encourage them to register to vote and update their information. It is simple and they can obtain more information by contacting - VOTE411.ORG May &June:

Both May and June are times of great celebrations as our students take another step in their education and their lives. Graduations from high school, colleges, and universities make up for most of the celebrations along with completion ceremonies for those in

May and June is also a time to reflect on several historical occurrences that changed lives.

One is the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the other is the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Brown vs.

Board of Education that determined " separate educational facilities are inherently unequal".

This decision reversed the flawed decision in Plessy v. Ferguson from 1896 and opened the door to desegregation of our public schools. Unfortunately the public school system (k-12 and higher education) is still a work in progress. We have much work to do to improve access to a sound education and training and to improve completion rates for all our students especially for African-Americans, Latinos, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders.

May and June was also the time in the mid 1960s that many of my generation were working for the election of Robert F. Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy was our candidate for President and locally we worked block by block to register voters and get out the vote. Kennedy came to our area and people lined the streets to see him. My husband had been offered a job with the campaign and we were planning on leaving the area to join the campaign in New York. We were to attend the celebration with other campaign workers at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles but decided to stay in San Bernardino to celebrate my birthday. Kennedy's assassination changed our lives. We stayed out of political arena for a while concentrating on our studies and careers. Our focus then turned to local issues, es-

tablishing our newspapers and building community. It is still our focus and there is still much, much work to do.

Save the date: Saturday, May 31 - San Bernardino CommUnity Fest from 10 a.m. to 6p.m. on the Westside of Perris Hill Park.

Open to the public, this event features 40+artists from the Inland Empire, local bands, dancers, games for all ages, food and ware vendors, fitness classes, prizes, and free kid activities. Information available at www.communityfests.org

Friday, June 27 - the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival starts its 2014 season with the San Bernardino Symphony doing "The Music of John Williams & Andrew Lloyd Webber" under the direction of Frank Paul Fetta. Popular vocalists Haqumai Sharpe and Brooke deRosa join the orchestra this performance of award winning movie and stage hits. Admission is free and all performances begin at 8:15 p.m.

No.

When a congressman quits his office, we are supposed to get a new start with a new representative. Infiltration into our halls of Congress by revolving door lobbyists is a major assault on our liberty.

Council payment hardly extravagant

For the second time, I’ve received a mailing from congressional candidate Eloise Gomez Reyes that criticizes Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar for accepting his meager pay of about $500 a month for serving on the Redlands City Council. The hyped assertions diminish her, and she should stop that.

As a taxpayer, I want good people to serve in government, and I don’t expect them to do a difficult and time-consuming job for free. I strongly believe that elected office in our diverse community should not be reserved only for the personally wealthy among us. I want our public servants working for the people, not some other interest.

Somehow, I don’t think Ms. Gomez Reyes, if elected, is going to forgo a congressional salary and benefits, nor do I think she will decide not to have her expenses for official government meetings and travel reimbursed by her employer, the government.

Pete Aguilar has been a good council member and mayor and he will be good in Congress — where I equally expect our elected members to do a good job, and be paid by the people for doing that job — for us.

Steven Frasher, Redlands

Wounded veterans deserve better service

As we draw closer to Memorial Day, I can’t help but think of the many sacrifices our military men and women have made to preserve freedom in America. Recently, President Obama pinned the Medal of Honor on Army Sgt. Kyle J. White for his heroic service in Afghanistan. I applaud the occasion.

But if the president really wants to demonstrate his support of our military heroes, he can start by pinning a pink slip on Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and get someone in that organization who will serve the interests of our wounded veterans.

Stone transforms Big Bear Lake into destination hotspot

ver the course of the last couple of years a man has transformed Big Bear Lake into a destination hotspot with more projects on the horizon.

David Stone Jr., a sixth-generation resident of the mountain community, developer and entrepreneur, is

passionate about “creating a better Big Bear” to attract people from outside communities and encourage them to stay for longer than the day.

Stone opened Stone Summit Winery & Vineyards at his Wolf Creek Resort in Big Bear Lake last May. The winery claims to be the highest altitude commercial vineyard in the northern hemisphere at

6,750 feet above sea level, surpassing the Terror Creek Winery in Colorado, which sits at 6,417 feet.

Today the winery produces five varietals ranging from Riesling to Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to fine wine the winery offers live entertainment. For more information on the winery and resort, visit www.wolfcreek-resort.com In 2012 Stone procured the Village Theater in the city’s Village shopping district and transformed it into a live concert venue called The Cave, featuring world class entertainment which opened last May. Following a brief shutdown for R&R, The Cave featured Jefferson Starship at its first concert of the summer last Saturday during the city’s Starlight Festival.

Over the next few months the 400seat, state-of-the-art venue will feature John Denver tribute Jim Curry, Berlin, Dave Stamey, Martha Davis & The Motels, and Bill Medley, just to name a few.

For more information on upcoming shows visit www.thecavebigbear.com.

"There's not a bad seat in the house. Anywhere you go you have a great seat," said Stone, who aims to transform Big Bear Lake into the next Aspen or Vail, Colo.

Stone’s latest venture is the Big Bear Lake Brewing Co., the city’s exclusive microbrewery, which opened its doors April 8. According to Stone, who also owns four lodges, the opportunity came about a year ago to purchase the

fermentation tanks and equipment from a Rancho Cucamonga brewery that closed its doors. Stone’s new brewing company has a dozen brew tanks, two full bars, and employs over 50 people.

Stone’s microbrewery features signature ales that include Indian pale ale, honey blonde ale, Hefeweizen-style beer and seasonal ales, served up by renowned Brewmaster Ron VandenBroeke.

The brewery will also feature wines, including Stone Summit wines. It will be open daily for lunch and dinner featuring a gourmet pub-style menu, and for breakfast on weekends. Complimentary shuttle service will be provided to patrons on weekends.

Big Bear Lake Brewing Company is located at 40827 Stone Road in Big Bear Lake Village.

For more information, call (909) 878-0500.

There are other projects Stone has his eye on, but will not yet disclose the nature of those projects just yet. He remains committed to rebuilding Big Bear Lake and providing residents, second-home owners and visitors a spectacular experience. “This is a true fourseason resort; there are a lot of activities,” Stone said about the city he is proud to call home. “For those who live in the jungle of L.A., it only takes an hour to come experience a whole different environment with very strong, friendly community ties.”

IECN PHOTOS COURTESY DAVID STONE JR.

David Stone Jr. has made it his mission to transform his native Big Bear Lake into a destination hotspot, attracting tourists from the Inland Empire and beyond to the mountain community. In the last year he has opened The Cave, a live concert venue; Stone Summit Winery and Vineyards; and most recently, Big Bear Lake Brewing Co., which opened April 8.

He is pictured on his vineyard making wine, located behind the cottages of Wolf Creek Resort, which he also owns.

Leaders in training: ICUC continues to encourage youth to take on leadership roles

he Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC) have invested in the lives of youth in the Inland Empire for several years.

From encouraging high school students to voice their concerns about graduation rates and university preparation at local school district board meetings to organizing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Affordable Care Act, and Local Control Fundability Formula workshops. As well as, encouraging parents of lower class communities to take an interest in their children’s education, the faith-based organization aims to revitalize dying neighborhoods.

Their current staff and former youth organizers continue to take on that challenge. Cal State San Bernardino Graphic Design student and San Bernardino Generation Now member Michael

Segura, 22, was recently appointed to the San Bernardino City Fine Arts Commission. Sergio Luna, 30, of Highland has been training parents around the San Bernardino Unified School District about the A-G requirements that are needed for their children to attend the University of California or California State University.

ICUC Executive Director Tom Dolan—mentor to both men—said he is excited to see the work they are doing in San Bernardino.

“It’s good to see everyone have a passion,” said ICUC Executive Director Tom Dolan. “It helps them to sustain and exercise their leadership.”

Luna and Dolan met about a decade before they began their organizing work in ICUC. The former was caught with a weapon at Pacific High School and was expelled. Like many of the at-risk youth in San Bernardino at that

time, he was sent over to Dolan who was a youth organizer based out of the Central City Lutheran mission.

“When he came over to the mission, he had only been living here for a short time,” said Dolan. “I got to know him, his sister, his mother. We brought him in here and he began to learn how to take computers apart and put them together. He comes from the right place and has his heart in the right place. He’s a great guy, but there’s more guys and girls like him.

That’s what makes ICUC so great.”

Dolan, who has worked in community organizing efforts in the United States and Latin America for over 30 years, and currently teaches courses on community organizing at Pitzer College’s Ontario program, said the biggest assumption community leaders in the Inland Empire are making is

attributing violence to youth. He attributes what he calls structural violence,to the lack of quality housing, daycare, preschool, health care, that expose children to risky environments.

“I dislike the term ‘Youth Violence’. I like to switch it around and say its ‘Violence against Youth’,” said Dolan. “The first term makes it sound like it’s youth committing the violence and even if it is youth in the gangs or hurting someone, studies done by experts demonstrates that youth pull the trigger because there’s been so many acts of violence committed against them when they were chil-

dren that they had no option than to do that.”

Dolan went on to further express that the problem isn’t the dishonesty of youth, which was attributed to the growing issue of homicides in San Bernardino at a recent commission meeting, but a systematic problem.

“The problem isn’t dishonesty,” he said. “That’s putting the problem into the character of young people. It’s a system that is robbing people of opportunities of what they could become in life. So they end up exercising risky behaviors. We structure that.”

By Ricardo Tomboc

PHOTO/RICARDO TOMBOC

Charlene Hernandez 31, came to the memorial service with her two children Caroline 9 and Lyla 12. Charlene is also a resident of San Bernardino is has been in active service with the US Navy for the past 7 years. Charlene is a Surgical Technician stationed out of Camp Pendleton.

t. View Cemetery and the American Legion Post #14 presented a Memorial Day observance this past Memorial Day Monday, May 26, at the Mt. View Cemetery grounds at Waterman Ave. and Highland Ave. in the city of San Bernardino. Hundreds gathered under the shade in the parking lot for this observance.

Diane Wilson was the American Legion "Poppy Coordinator" for this year, was handing out poppies and collecting donations.

Diane is also the Treasurer for American Legion Auxiliary.

Memorial Day is a day of remembering for all the men and women who died while serving in the Armed Forces. Memorial Day was first observed after the Civil War, but it was not till 1971 that Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress.

The San Bernardino High School ROTC Honor Guard

posted the colors during the ceremony. Members of the American Christian Military Academy of Excellence ROTC stood guard around the crowds during the observance; and escorted the ladies during the Wreath presentation.

Liz Jones of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 14, was the first to be escorted by ROTC Staff Sergeant Romello Tisdale.

The Guest Speaker for the event was San Bernardino Councilperson James Mulvilhill.

San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis also addressed the crowds.

One of the attendees, Daniel Lopez 80, is a Korean War Veteran who served for 3 years, has been a resident of San Bernardino for the past 18 years, and is a member of the Patriot Guard Riders. Charlene Hernandez 31, came to the memorial service with her two children Caroline 9 and Lyla 12. Charlene is also a resident of San Bernardino and has been in active service with the US Navy for the past 7 years.

Charlene is a Surgical Technician

stationed out of Camp Pendleton.

During the observance, the Condor Squadron did three flyovers in four vintage WWII fighter planes. The first two flyovers, there were four planes in formation, and on the third flyover, the planes went into the "missing man" formation. The missing man formation is an aerial salute preformed as part of a flyover to commemorate the death of a fallen soldiered.

The Honor Guard from March Air Force Base, conducted a three volley salute and taps. The "three volley salute" honors those who have served in the military. After the rifles are raised into the sky, three shots are fired. The bugler sounds "Taps".

At the end of the Observance, everyone was treated with freshly made hamburgers from " IN-NOUT Burger"! A large mobile kitchen with several workers came to the cemetery to setup shop. IN-N-OUT Burger servers cooked for over two hours to feed the crowds.

he Warrior Hip Hop WestCoast Tour made its final stop at the Chicano Indigenous Community for Culturally Conscious Advocacy and Action (Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A.) on Saturday May 24 holding the concert to inform the general public about struggles in the Indigenous community.

Underground Hip Hop artist 2Mex of Los Angeles based group The Visionaries headlined the show.

Prominent artists Zero, lyricist and MC of Hip Hop group El Vuh and Sister Centzi of the LA-based Guerrilla Queenz preceded the main act. Public speakers and a DJ were also utilized for the show. Attendees were charged $7 at the door and $5 pre-show for tickets.

The show’s proceeds were appro-

priated for the tour’s artists who are involved in community organizing in their respective neighborhoods and for I-DRUM’s efforts to support the Lakota tribe as they attempt to fight the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

“We heard the Lakota’s people call for support, so we decided to take action locally, here in the I.E., to do what we could. That’s why we founded I-DRUM,” said Gardenia Rivera, a Rancho Cucamonga-based activist and Chaffey College student.

The organization has already made significant strides since being established last month. They held a tool drive to gather tools and camping supplies to be sent to the American Indian Movement on Sioux reservations in North and South Dakota.

“When hip-hop was born, it was originally a voice of resistance to

consciousness.”

Miguel Angel Cruz, 20, of Rancho Cucamonga said Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A. has been like a “home” and said it is a place where he can be more in tune with his Indigenous roots.

“I need a place where I can em-

brace both my mestizo and indigenous sides,” he said. “I know many people who are separated from their indigenous or tribal roots. It's been centuries of colonization that made this happen.

Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A. is a place where you can begin that journey.”

Election Special 2014

Alejandre an Experienced Educational Leader for County Superintendent of Schools

an Bernardino County’s 414,000 students deserve a world-class education that prepares them to be productive and thriving citizens! As a life-long resident of San Bernardino County, Ted Alejandre has over 24 years of successful experience in education as a deputy superintendent, chief business official, elementary and secondary principal, teacher and classified member. Alejandre also has over 29 years of demonstrated leadership in the US Air Force, currently serving as lieutenant colonel.

Ted Alejandre’s vision for ALL students is that they master 21st Century skills including critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, and graduate prepared to compete and contribute to the Inland Empire’s regional economy and the global marketplace.

Ted Alejandre is committed to: • Demonstrating a relentless determination to closing access and achievement gaps • Having students learn in safe and encouraging environments • Increasing high school and college graduation rates • Strengthening community trust in education and sharing a common vision that supports the success of every child • Being a champion for the use of technology to accelerate teaching and learning • Collaborating with districts, boards, associations, community, business, labor and all stakeholders to ensure student success

Alejandre is currently deputy superintendent for the County Schools office, where he has headed up Business Services since 2008. He declared his intent to run for the county’s lead educational seat following current County Superintendent Gary Thomas’ announcement to retire in Dec. 2014. Thomas is fully endorsing Alejandre for the position.

As the current deputy superintendent for County Schools, Ted Alejandre understand the needs of local districts and the current issues facing schools. He understands the role of the office and its critical relationship with the 33 K-12 school districts and stakeholders the office collaborates with to ensure students, staff and districts receive the highest quality of educational support.

Currently, school districts statewide are implementing the new Local Control Funding Formula and engaging their families and school communities in their planning efforts with the Local Control Accountability Plans. Having led the Business Services Branch of the office and monitoring school district fiscal solvency during some of the most turbulent budget years in recent history, Alejandre is well suited to see school districts through the transition to the new school funding model and accompanying accountability systems.

The County Schools office also provides direct student instruction to the county’s most vulnerable and at-risk students. These are students who are severely physically or emotionally handicapped, incarcerated students or students who have been expelled. Highly trained staff serves these students in specialized classroom settings and do so with inno-

vative research-based programs that show results. Public school employee groups are endorsing Alejandre because they believe he understands the role of the teacher and classified support staff and has the leadership ability to work with all stakeholders to see that students are successful.

Also endorsing Alejandre is State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, Jack O’Connell, former state superintendent of public instruction, retired county superintendents Herbert Fischer, Barry Pulliam and Charles Terrell, and 31 of the county’s school district superintendents.

Ted Alejandre also is endorsed by: All five members of the San Bernardino County Board of Education Laura Abernathy-Mancha, President Mark Sumpter, Vice President Hardy Brown, Member Bette Harrison, Member Alen Ritchie, Member Col. Paul Cook (Ret.), U.S. Congressman Cheryl R. Brown, Assemblymember, 47th District Mike Ramos, District Attorney, San Bernardino County John McMahon, Sheriff/Coroner, San Bernardino County Janice Rutherford, Chair, San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Gary Ovitt, Vice Chair, San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Robert Lovingood, County Board of Supervisors, First District James Ramos, County Board of Supervisors, Third District Black Voice News California School Employees Association Central Labor Council AFL-CIO of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Parents United for Responsible Education, a sponsored committee of CCSA Advocates Press Enterprise San Bernardino CDF Firefighters Local 2881 San Bernardino County Professional Firefighters, Local 935 San Bernardino County Schools Teachers Association San Bernardino County Sun San Bernardino County Teachers Association Coalition San Bernardino Public Employees Association Teamsters Joint Council 42 For additional information and a comprehensive list of endorsements, please visit: www.tedforcountyschools.com.

E lection Special 2014 Candidate for the 40th Assembly District Art Bustamonte: “We have something that other areas don’t have; space for room and growth.”

A

fter 17 years on the Chaffey Joint Union High School Board of Trustees, the second largest high school district in California, Art Bustamonte is hoping to take his vast amount of experience and knowledge to the state level by running for the 40th Assembly District.

A Southern California native and a father of two adult daughters, Bustamonte grew up in Los Angeles and attended public schools through high school. At the age of 17 he joined the Marines and served in Vietnam. After serving his country he went on to graduate from Cerritos College and a Bachelors degree from Cal State Fullerton and went on to enjoy a thriving career as a police officer in Huntington Park, an area known as one of the toughest in Southern California.

After being wounded and nearly losing his life in the line of duty, Bustamonte retired from the de-

partment as a gang investigator and was awarded the Medal of Valor, the highest honor in law enforcement. He currently serves as a supervising criminal investigator for San Bernardino County.

In 1995 he ran for the Chaffey Joint Union High School Board of Trustees, winning by a large margin, and has won re-election four consecutive times, often as the election's highest vote-getter. He has also been elected board president five times by fellow board members.

Under Art Bustamonte's leadership, Chaffey Joint Union High School District has consistently been recognized for excellence in educational achievements, including an 86% high school graduation rate, highest test scores (high school) in the county and the second highest test scores (high school) in the state.

As an assemblyman, Bustamonte hopes to bring the same success to the state in the areas he is most

committed to: attracting the right businesses, that will bring the right jobs to the Inland Empire, and addressing the various factors that make a region attractive to businesses, such as good schools and safe neighborhoods.

Already he has plans as to how he would like to begin to promote more business opportunities in the region, all of which are interconnected.

He believes it’s not enough to simply talk about better jobs or more business without addressing some of the factors that contribute to both.

“Companies will not come here without good schools, safe neighborhoods and political stability,” Bustamonte said. “We need to provide more in-service training for teachers, better facilities, more technology and a safe learning environment for students.”

Bustamonte also wants to capitalize on what he believes is one of the Inland Empire’s greatest as-

sets.

“We have something that other areas like Los Angeles and Orange County don’t have,” he said. “We have space for room and growth.”

If elected, Art Bustamonte wants to make the most of this asset to make the 40th Assembly District a truly desirable place to live and do business.

And along the lines of both education and jobs, Bustamonte, a strong believer in technological and vocational training programs, wants to ensure that the vocational training that students are receiving is in line with the what the job market demands so that the region is equipped with a well-trained workforce that meet the needs for the kinds of jobs that are available and will come in the future.

He would also like to create tax incentives to encourage businesses to come to the region and said he would like to submit a bill that would do just that.

And speaking of bills, in the

same spirit of increasing high paying job opportunities and increasing the quality of education, Bustamonte would also like to introduce a bill that will help single parents pay for day care services so they too can further their education and work better jobs to support their families.

If elected, Art Bustamonte would like to make his vision a reality through hard work and implementation of one of the keys to success he discovered as a school board member; building consensus across party lines to work together for a common purpose.

“I want to develop consensus with everyone to bring the Inland Empire out of economic chaos,” he said.

"I'll be delivering babies," said Elad. "I've always played sports and I will miss it." Along with being the National Honor Society President, she was presented an award of excellence from the National Academy of Future Physicians and Education Scientists.

During her four years at Aquinas, Elad served as an ambassador, volunteer and youth leader at local church's, including at our Lady of the Assumption. She served two years on an African Descent Ministry. She was twice elected ASB vice-president and in 2013 the Aquinas High School Girls State Representative to a California forum.

Elad acknowledged not knowing about the Ken Hubbs Award prior to her nomination. "I knew it was going to be something special because it was a banquet setting. I now know what Ken Hubbs did in his life. How he spent time with people and his many accomplish-

ments. For me to be associated with his name made me feel special. It will make me try to do the good things in life like he did."

Along with her wrestling ability, Khauv maintains a 4.0 GPA while taking honors classes. Combined with her volunteering in the Foundation of Life program at church and as a tutor at Boyd Elementary, Khauv earned the 2014 Girls Ken Hubbs Award honoree for Rialto High.

"Darlyn doesn't like the spotlight but once she straps on her head gear, she is like a machine as a wrestler," said Rialto AD Kevin Gilbreth.

Under the tutorage of RHS wrestling coach Robert Mitchell PHOTO COURTESY/RUSD and former school wrestling champion Jeannette Muhar, Khauv Rialto High School Wrestling made the transition of wrestling on Champ and the Knights 2014 the boys team to competing Girl Ken Hubbs Award Winner against girls.

n naming Margella Elad his school's 2014 Girls Ken Hubbs Award winner, Aquinas High athletic director Chris Ybarra called the versatile student, "Probably the most overall athletic female he's seen in my ten years at Aquinas. To represent the Ken Hubbs Award, she is the whole package." For three years, Elad was all-league in volleyball, soccer, basketball and a four-year CIF-qualifier in the 100 and 200 Meters. She did that while carrying a 4.5 GPA, good for #4 in her senior class. "That's what makes her even more impressive," says Ybarra.

In a phone conversation, Elad commented that her athletic career is over. She is well on her way toward becoming an OBYN physician and will take pre-med courses on scholarship next year at USC.

Kumler to transition from Hubbs honoree to marine science

W

By Harvey M. Kahn

illiam Kumler said he already knew "how incredibly special the Ken Hubbs nomination is" since his brother, Benjamin was the nominee from Aquinas High last year. Besides graduating at No. 2 among the Aquinas senior class of 87 students, William Kumler was four-year member of the Falcons cross country team, where he was named all-league twice. He was a four-year perfomer on the tennis team where he was two year's allleague. He was team captain for two years at both sports.

"He is a young man who takes a heavy class load and will be graduating early, said Aquinas AD Chris Ybarra. "He's a quality individual who is well mannered."

Kumler said in a phone interview that he will be attending UC Berkeley next year to study biology in preparation to become a

marine scientist. "I'd like to take post graduate classes at Scripps Institute. Eventually, I'd like to research the microscopic organisms that live in the ocean and are an important part of the food chain.

I'd like to raise awareness about this tiny life form," said Kumler.

Kumler said he learned a lot about Ken Hubbs during his brother's presentation process from last year. "To be picked as a Hubbs honoree is amazing. To be compared to him in any way is an incredible honor. The 50th anniversary watch the Foundation presented us is something I will always wear with pride." He said that he will not be playing any NCAA sports at Cal. Possibly, he will run or play tennis at the club level. He recently ran his first half marathon in Highland and did not rule out running full marathons in the future. "One way or another, I'll stay active in sports.

Joachim Reyes to blaze different path after winning RHS Hubbs Award

By Harvey M. Kahn

f all 48 Ken Hubbs Award winning honorees, none will take the path of Rialto High School senior Joachim Reyes who will enlist in the Army following graduation where he'll receive advanced training toward a career as an engineer.

Reyes said his grades were good enough to be considered for an academic scholarship to the University of Redlands. His GPA in advanced placement classes was 3.74, good enough to rank 70th among 2014 Rialto High graduating seniors.

As a three-year starting lineman on the football team, Reyes is credited with playing a big part of the Knight's drastic improvement under head coach Gavin Pachot.

He was selected as the 2014 team MVP. Reyes qualified for the CIFPrelims as the RHS heavyweight division wrestling champion. He also threw the shot put and discus

as a three-year member of the track team.

Rialto High athletic director Kevin Gilbreth called Reyes and extremely self-driven, positive person who is ready to face whatever situation is in front of him.

Gilbreth knows Reyes from Jehue Middle School when he was a teacher and Reyes was a student.

"He is so dedicated that he wanted to return to a football game shortly after being helped off the field with a strained knee. We had to jump in front of him stop him from running back out. He felt he was letting his teammates down," said Gilbreth.

Reyes said that by joining the Army he can serve his country while he is still young and possibly go to college afterwards.

Gilbreth said that the Reyes family has a history of serving in the Army. Reyes can be seen volunteering at youth athletic events and at local middle schools.

Citrus Valley edges Aquinas in quarterfinals

Pinch-runner Olivia Olvera scores the go-ahead run for Citrus Valley in the bottom of the sixth.

T

By Richard Dawson

aylor Troost is only a junior at Redlands Citrus Valley, but pitching her team to victory in big games is nothing new.

Troost was dominant as usual, allowing just two hits and striking out 10, but Citrus Valley also needed clutch hitting to edge past visiting San Bernardino Aquinas 3-1 in a CIF-SS Division 5 quarterfinals game on Saturday, May 24.

In a match up featuring the division’s last two champions, Troost found herself in a pitching duel with Aquinas ace Allie Hotetz, but a pre-game injury almost derailed that from happening.

“Right before the game, she snagged her nail on her pitching hand,” said Citrus Valley head coach April Finazzo. “She is a tough kid and she played through it.”

Aquinas (23-4) got out to a quick start, taking a 1-0 lead in the second on a sac-fly by Hotetz. It looked poised to score in the fourth after Kylie Dazalla doubled to lead off the inning, but she was gunned down trying to stretch it into a triple. The mistake proved costly as teammate Maritsa Cardona followed with a double that would have likely resulted in a

run. Troost ended the threat by striking out the last two hitters and went on to retire 10 of the last 11 batters she faced in the game.

A sac-fly by Maxine Ortega got Citrus Valley (19-8) on the board in the fourth.

With the game tied at 1-1 in the sixth, Kailey Richard led off with a double to center and Jackie Chairez followed with a triple to left-center that scored pinch runner Olivia Olvera to give the Blackhawks their first lead of the game. Zoe Richard hit a sac-fly to left that scored Chairez for an insurance run.

Troost finished the Falcons in order in the seventh, striking out the last two hitters. Hotetz finished the game having allowed seven hits and striking out six.

Citrus Valley will host a Division 5 semifinal game for the first time when it plays against secondseeded Orange League champion Savanna on May 27.

“That’s big for us,” said Finazzo.

“They like playing in front of our home crowd.”

Carter High School’s Lujan comes up with big hit, Lions defeat Indio in CIF-SS playoff opening game

Lujan was looking for redemption.

With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning in his team’s CIF Division 3 first round encounter with Indio on May 23, Lujan took advantage of a golden opportunity, hitting a triple to left-center to break a 1-1 tie.

“I stepped into the box, cleared my head, I looked over to dugout and saw my teammates and brothers cheering for me,” said Lujan about his big at-bat. “I got the PHOTO/ANTHONY VICTORIA pitch I wanted and did what I could with it.”

The Lions (21-5) never looked Jesse Gonzalez on the mound back after that point. UCR-bound for Carter. The UCR-bound senior Jesse Gonzalez pitched a Senior pitched a complete complete game, striking out eight game, compiling eight strike- and was 1 for 3 at the plate with an outs in the 6-2 victory over RBI double as they defeated the Indio.

mostly offspeed pitches.

Carter head coach Samuel Lopez praised his team’s ability in adjusting to Burciaga’s pitching approach.

“I felt very confident we were going to be able to make adjustments pretty quickly,” he said.

“They’re a tough team. We heard they were scrappy and like to play small ball and that’s exactly what they showed up with.”

Lopez was also praiseful of team captain Gonzalez, who has been instrumental in Carter’s San Andreas League winning season this year.

“It’s been like it has been all year,” he said. “Every time he gets on the mound, he gives us a chance to win and everytime he is up to bat, he’s a threat. Definitely another big performance from Jesse.”

The deadlock between the teams was broken in the third when an error by the Indio shortstop allowed Adam Lovell to score. The Rajahs would respond in the top of

Carter falls to Alemany in first round

hen it comes playoff time any team can win, it is all about getting hot at the right time.

Rialto Carter had been hot all season, going undefeated in league, earning a No. 1 seed and a home playoff game in the process.

Matched up against Alemany, a bad game came at the wrong time as the Carter softball team was routed at home 18-6 during the CIF-SS Division 3 first round game on Tuesday, May 20.

Alemany (17-9) got on the board with a 1-0 lead in the first inning off of Carter starter Karly Turner.

The Lions answered in the bottom half of the inning. Dayimian Johnson and Alyssa MooreRamirez led off with back-to-back doubles to make tie the game. Pamala Baber followed with a single to go up 2-1 and San Andres League MVP Jerise Toilolo sent a shot over the left field wall for a two-run home run to push the lead to 4-1, but it didn’t last long.

Turner gave up a run in the second and in the third it snowballed in the wrong direction for Carter.

The Warriors opened up with three consecutive hits, two of which were infield singles, and a grand slam by Danielle Pitpit to retake the lead 6-4. Three more singles and an error added a run and loaded the bases, leading to a three-run triple by Danielle Ortega that blew the game open. The Lions allowed one more run before escaping the inning and found themselves down 11-4.

Carter (20-5) added two more runs in the bottom of the third thanks to a walk, single, hit-by-

The stage was then set for Lujan.

Back to back singles hit by Isaiah Davis and Eduardo Martinez, followed by a bunt turned into an infield single by Daniel Folk loaded the bases for Lujan. The junior did not hesitate, turning on the first pitch he saw from Burciaga and driving it to left-center.

“During my first at bat, I noticed he was throwing me a lot of offspeed,” said Lujan. “I had to tip my hat to him. I made sure to tell the guys to adjust and we went

pitch and an Alemany error.

The Warriors didn’t let up, scoring one in the fourth and two in the sixth before going up double digits with a four-run seventh.

“Today they were the better team,” said Carter head coach John Salas. “If we played them yesterday or tomorrow, maybe it would be a different story, but today, as a team, it wasn’t our day.”

“It’s disappointing, but we accomplished a lot this season,” said Salas. “We went undefeated in league for the first time in school history, we had girls make first team, Jerise was MVP, it was just a bad day.”

from there.”

Despite the loss, Indio head coach said he was proud of his team’s season.

“These guys had a great season,” he said. “I think people underestimated us because we lost a lot of players and believed we weren’t going to be as competitive this year. This group gelled as a team and played team baseball. It was a good game. We made some defensive mistakes which gave them the game and allowed them to open it up. In the end, we’re proud of the way they competed.”

Books help young patients in recovery at LLUCH

Each backpack donated includes four to five books, which are carefully selected and age appropriate for children in grades K-12.

The books were made possible through grants and donations from various supporters.

“The goal is to help children better understand their condition and also distract their minds while in the hospital,” said Gabe Ramirez, founder of Project FROGS. The books can also help patients and families cope with the emotional aspects of an illness, Ramirez added.

In addition to the backpack giveaway, Project FROGS interns and CSUSB students also hosted activities for patients, which included karaoke, musical instruments, arts and crafts, reading and educational games.

.K. Smiley Public Library in Redlands will have more than just books on display in the coming weeks.

A ceremony unveiling an art piece-- the 125th anniversary Com-

munity Sculpture Project--will be held at 4 p.m. June 6 inside the library’s Reference Wing, 125 West Vine Street.

The sculpture, which will be on display throughout the month of June, was part of the city’s several 125th anniversary celebrations held

in November where residents were invited to help mark the milestone event through various efforts.

“The Smiley Library was honored to participate in the many aspects of the anniversary celebration” said Library Director Don McCue. “We hope our patrons enjoy viewing the community sculpture which arose from that celebration."

The art piece--a cubed-shape sculpture comprised of five panels depicting the Redlands 125th Anniversary logo, the Redlands Bowl, the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, the University of Redlands and the Smiley Library--was spearheaded

by Melanie Papp, a local artist and founder of Art Renew, a campaign to assist underfunded art education programs and non-profits.

As part of the project, residents of all ages gathered at the Mission

Gables House Courtyard to handpaint single tiles for one of the cube’s panels, depicting diversity and landmarks in Redlands.

The aim of the project was in hopes of creating community, according to Papp.

And the sculpture, McCue said, will be a perfect fit at A.K. since the library’s Assembly Room was once a gallery more than 30 years ago.

“History is quite important to us,” McCue said. “The city’s quasquicentennial celebrations and this art display will be a nice congruity of traditional support and artist related endeavors in Redlands.”

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another,” and so was the theme and key message of the Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy (Young Visionaries) Iron Sharpens Iron Gala on Tuesday, May 20 at Cal State San Bernardino.

The quote above is found in Proverbs 27:17 and conveys the concept that the same way in the physical realm iron sharpens iron, so do people build and strengthen each other up, such as through mentorship, which is one of the key components of the various programs and services that YV offers youth.

The gala, which has become an annual event for Young Visionaries, seeks to not only raise funds for the various programs educational and empowerment programs the organization offers youth but also to inspire them to be all they can be.
