Organization striking C.H.O.R.D.S. in SB Youth

By Jazmine Collins

fter suffering many hardships as a youth while living in San Bernardino, Edwin Johnson decided to use his experiences to create opportunity for young people throughout the city. At the age of 16, Johnson found himself homeless and living in an abandoned building near Feldheym Central Library. Johnson suffered years of poverty and abuse as a teenager and turned to Central City Lutheran Mission for hot meals. He became involved with their programs and learned life and leadership skills that put him on the right path. Johnson received his GED by the age of 19 and went on to earn his Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice Administration. Johnson’s personal journey led him to work with at-risk youth through working corrections, however, he felt the need to create a CHORDS cont. on next page

be determined, though the pointin-time count that determines funding coming in from grants estimates the number to be at 945. City officials estimate the count to be at approximately 2,000. One of the plan’s first goals is to provide an accurate count, as stated by Michael McKinney, chief of staff to Mayor Davis. According to the “From Jumpstart to Beyond” plan, the services provided will cost the city an estimated $14.6 million in permanent housing costs and $27.5 million in unsheltered homeless costs. The plan however does not intend to use money from the city’s general fund at its commencement. It will utilize $200,000 in Emergency Shelter Grants to create the Central Drop-In facility that will serve as an emergency shelter and provide “wrap-around” services that emphasizes building construc-

tive relationships and support networks to help homeless residents transition into permanent housing. Marquez said they are trying to avoid a “magnet effect”, meaning they are trying to avoid providing services to homeless residents from other nearby cities and provide adequate services to those who are in need of assistance and who fit the residency criteria outlined in the resolution. The paragraph states that the group is, “...directed to establish that criteria in an open, caring, and just manner that takes into account the length of time the person has been within the City, any employment that person may have within the City, any family connections of the person, and the general ties to the community.” The criteria will be presented to the city council 45 days after the inception of the resolution. The First Ward representative however did point out that the

council could consider more requirements for qualification if necessary, saying that the objective is to include, not exclude. “The point is to be as open and provide as much shelter as possible,” she said. “We need to do it the right way.” The initiative began its development during the “Jumpstart Downtown” project initiated by police chief Jarrod Burguan that focuses on revitalizing the downtown area. Over the course of the “Jumpstart” project, approximately 250 contacts were made with homeless residents and 66 camping spots were located and removed. In addition, 115 field interviews were conducted by city police officers. Of those 115 interviewed, only 18 accepted services that ranged from hotel vouchers to referrals to the Salvation Army. McKinney confirmed that some police officers spend about fortypercent of their day dealing with homeless residents who are often cited for vagrancy, panhandling, and loitering. He believes there needs to be a better way to resolve these issues. “The goal is to try to eliminate costs and be compassionate,” he said. “Officers hand out 15 misdemeanors a day to homeless residents who are then held, released within hours, and are right back out doing the same thing. There needs to be a smarter pathway than the revolving door we have.” With the initiative being the first prevention program of its kind to be brought forth by the city, Marquez said she is excited that the plan can now move forward and is ready to face the challenge.

preventive program that equips youth with skills to become successful and productive members of society. “I feel like God put it in my heart to always work with the youth,” says Johnson. “I feel like everything that I’ve been through, it was training,” he continues. In 2012, Johnson founded Creating Hopeful Opportunities and Resiliency by Developing Skills or C.H.O.R.D.S. The nonprofit organization is a music based program focusing on assisting students develop leadership skills while providing a safe alternative for San Bernardino youth ages 11

to 19. “The foundation of C.H.O.R.D.S. is like my life story,” says Edwin. C.H.O.R.D.S. uses music as a gateway to teach young people various valuable skills in the arts. The program is free to all who participate and is designed to help youth cultivate their talents by exploring music and creative arts. Approximately 20 to 25 young people enroll in the program every school year. All students enrolled at C.H.O.R.D.S. are encouraged to maintain good grades while in school as a requirement to participate. C.H.O.R.D.S provides a series of programs for youth throughout the

Words to think about: My love for food

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

love food almost as much as I love Stella. Between food and my kids, it’s a tossup. Not really, but almost. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter much what kind of food. I like it all. All kinds of ethnic food. Whether it is hot or cold; fruits or vegetables; fowl, beef or fish; high caloric or low. I like it all. No wonder then that I’ve paid close attention to the food specialties of the 84 countries I’ve visited. In my opinion, the international favorite food is Italian. Especially spaghetti.

Without a doubt, every one of the 84 countries had spaghetti on the menu. For example, when I was in Tokyo, Japan, I stayed at a very nice hotel for several days. Every day the restaurant had spaghetti on the menu. And I ordered it every day. It was always delicious. Always with a slightly different flavored sauce, but always excellent. Of course I visited the palaces and rode their trains, but always sampling the cuisine, that was typically Japanese. In my opinion, the second most popular food in the countries I’ve visited is Chinese. Stella and I visit one of the many good Chinese restaurants at least every two weeks. In my travels I especially enjoyed the food in Hong Kong, Macao and Mexicali, Mexico. The latter city has approximately fifty percent Chinese population. There seems to be a Chinese restaurant in every block. In Hong Kong, the McDonald’s have rice instead of French fries and always egg rolls. In Mexicali they serve the traditional Chinese menu. My favorite dish is always chop suey with fried rice. Of course, I’m always surprised when I hear Chinese speaking fluent Spanish. I’ll never forget eating in Kenya and Brazil. Both countries have a favorite restaurants featuring what they call Brazilian B-B-Q. In Kenya the restaurant was called Carnivore. On a sign were the meats that were available. All were

from nature animals: wildebeest, crocodile, ostrich, monkey, turkey, chicken, duck, hogs, snake, lion, tiger, hippo, rhino, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, and giraffe. I don’t think elephant was mentioned. The meal lasted for 4 hours. The same was true in Rio de Janeiro. I’ve been to Israel eight times. There are several kibbutz that provide hotel facilities for tourists. That includes food. A choice is provided. Either regular American type food or kosher food. I always chose the latter. The food was always delicious. The rules for kosher is complicated. Obviously there was never any ham, pork or bacon. I’ve been to Cuba four times. Twice when Batista was the dictator and twice when Castro was active. The people were always smiling and happy. The music and food was great. For food I particularly like: arroz con pollo, fried bananas and beef stew. Family restaurants were very prominent. They were usually in the back yards and only had one course per day. They were plentiful and delicious. I think of Argentina quite often. Not only for Pope Francis, but also for their scenery, the people and the food. I’ve never seen so many Italian restaurants. Every block seemed to have 4 or 5, and I tried to visit every one. The pasta seemed to differ and the sauce. Spaghetti was usually served with a steak. Oh, my I can taste them now. While I’m writing about

spaghetti I’m also remembering my visits to Peru. We often speak of Irish potatoes and Idaho potatoes, but the real origin of them is Peru. They prepare them in a score of ways, because potatoes are eaten for every meal—breakfast, lunch dinner and in-between Greeks are noted for many things including their food. There are more Greeks in Melbourne, Australia than in any other city in the world-except Athens. I’ve been in Melbourne several times and eaten Moussaka, Baklava and especially Gyro sandwiches. The latter are especially delicious. I’ve eaten pot roast and Shepherd’s pie in England; herring in Sweden; curry in India; chop suey in Hong Kong; steak in South Africa, bad food in Russia; McDonald hamburgers in several countries. The national food of Spain is PAELLA. Throughout the country it is available. In my visits to Spain I ate paella every day. There is a village in Spain that has an annual paella cook-off. The village has a huge skillet-1 ½ feet deep and 10 feet in diameter. Over a huge fire, the villagers add ingredients like: rice, chicken, sausage, fish, oysters, beef, seasoning, tomatoes, potatoes, clams and whatever. After hours of cooking, each family fills a bucket and eats and eats. I wish I could participate. Amen. Selah. So be it.

OPINION&EDITORIAL Page A4 • June 12, 2014 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers

THINK Together, brought to my attention an article in the New York Times on suburban poverty. The Inland Empire communities were mentioned as illustrations of existing poverty in suburban areas. Years ago people moved from the inner cities to escape poverty but now poverty is in the suburbs and there is a lack of infrastructure and support systems. The following is an excerpt from that article but I recommend that all of us working on building community and improving the quality of life in our region read the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/10/us/hardship-makes-a-new-home-in-the-s uburbs.html?r=0

Report: For the fifth consecutive year San Bernardino County and the Community Foundation of Riverside and San Bernardino counties have produced a San Bernardino County Community Indicators Report. It takes a hard look at this very large and diverse county through the prisms of the economy, schools, healthcare, public safety, environment, and overall quality of life. It is part of an effort started five years ago as residents and government officials gathered to formulate a Countywide Vision.

To quote Janice Rutherford, chair of the Board of Supervisors and Dr. Jonathan Yorba, president and CEO of the Community Foundation from a recent joint letter, " The idea behind making this report an annual effort was to measure our performance and detect trends so that the community could assess and refine its efforts toward achieving the Countywide Vision." The hope is that the report will encourage government leaders, business people, community and faith-based organizations and others to discuss, build awareness and build collaborative initiatives that address systemic changes. The Indicators Report will be formally launched this September but can be assessed on the Community Foundation web site under publications - info@thecommunityfoundation.net Must Read:

"Five decades after President Lyndon B. Johnson's declared a war on poverty, the nations poor are more likely to be found in suburbs like this one than in cities or rural areas, and poverty in the suburbs is rising faster than in any other setting in the country. By 2011, there were three million more people living in poverty in suburbs than in inner cities, according to a study released last year by the Brookings Institution. As a result, suburbs are grappling with problems that once seemed alien, compounded by am shortage of Institutions helping the poor and distances that make it difficult for people to get to jobs and social services even if they can find them. In no place is that more true than California, synonymous with the suburban’s good life and long a magnet for restless newcomers with big dreams. When taking into account the cost of living, including housing, child care and medical expenses, California has the highest poverty rate in the nation, according to a measure introduced by the Census Bureau in 2011' that considers both government benefits and living costs I. Different parts of the country. By that measure, roughly nine million people - nearly a quarter of the state's residents - live in poverty" Save the Date:

What could truly embarrass a politician?

We had a state senator who was running for secretary of state but was caught in a sting for illegal gun trafficking, among other charges, and is currently out on bail. It was extremely embarrassing to him and the Senate as he was at the time sponsoring legislation on gun control. He did withdraw his name from the race but the ballots were already printed. Some 287,590 people voted for him. And there’s an assemblywoman who is on

Edwin Johnson remembers plight , helping youth through C.H.O.R.D.S. program

By Anthony Victoria

he Creating Hopeful Opportunities and Resiliency by Developing Skills (C.H.O.R.D.S.) program was started by Edwin Johnson in 2011 to provide youth an outlet to showcase their skills through music and the arts. It has provided them a gateway out of the hardships of educational budget cuts and violence. Johnson said motivation to start the program grew out of his own experiences living in San Bernardino. At the age of 16, he lived in an unstable home and dropped out of school to make sure he and his family stayed out of poverty. Youth organizers such as Tom Dolan of Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC) were instrumental in shaping Johnson into the youth coordinator he is Today. Dolan helped him organize the newspaper “Reality Check” and guided him along his struggles as a teenager. He said he feels youth should not have to go through the same hardships as he did. “Growing up we used to be a part of this after school program. We used to go there to eat because we didn’t have much growing up,” Johnson said. “I ended up learning a lot of different life skills to become a youth leader at a young

age. I was able to learn the tools that I use Today.” Teenagers of similar rough backgrounds are now capable of producing and recording their own music, creating clothing brands, and broadcasting radio shows through C.H.O.R.D.S. Additionally, unlike Johnson who used to have to walk from the old Sahara Hotel on G St. to his home on D St. with his siblings everyday, youth involved with the program

have transportation and meals available to them if needed. “Some of the parents who have kids in the program don’t have enough money to put gas in their car but we don’t look at it in a negative light,” said Johnson. “We understand that poverty exists and what we do is pick up the kids.” And while some of the youth start the program struggling with classes, getting involved with drugs, or discouraged by the neg-

GA Champions Tour top 10 Star Tom Pernice Jr who keeps a residence in the Inland Empire, won the Principal Charity Classic tournament in Des Moines Iowa this past Sunday June 1. Tom, who won on tour last year as well at the 3M Championship event in Minnesota, annually presents a golf event at his home course of Bear Creek in Murrieta called the Tom Pernice Jr Charity Golf Classic of which he splits proceeds with the Redlands based charity The Unforgettables Foundation. Pernice who has partnered with and appeared for the Unforgettables for over 5 years, has an exceptional 20+ year career on the regular PGA Tour and Champions. The UCLA grad is regularly at or near the top of the leader board these days joining the real legends of the game and friends like Fred Couples, Tom Watson, and John Cook--who also benefits the Unforgettables. Pernice's event sold out in 2013 and all players went home with a brand new Scotty Cameron putter fitted that day for them since he plays that brand of putter under the Titleist company brand. He will put on the next fund-raising event as part of Tom Pernice Jr Charitable Foundation on Sept 14 and 15 in Murrieta. Last year one of a kind golf collectables came from Rickie Fowler, Fred Couples, Phil Mickelson and Kenny Perry. To sign up for this most unique event with one of the Senior Tours top stars call 909.335.1655. Pernice became familiar and very supportive of The Unforgettables because of the connection his youngest daughter Brooke has with the group. She is a nationally known blind recording artist and theology student in Tennessee. TUF founder Chaplain Tim Evans says--"I sure hope that Brooke will ultimately be a chaplain too. She has incredible skill, heart and instinct for it!

ativity that surrounds them, Johnson explained that music is a pivotal factor in developing them into respectful young adolescents. “Music is what a lot of youth like, especially now a days,” he said. “We just don’t say, ‘hey you’re not supposed to use that type of language’, but we actually show them the reason why they shouldn’t use profanity. By them practicing their music, they automatically start to change their language. They research words that they could use in their music to not allow them to curse. We give the kids responsibilities.” Some of the responsibilities they have is training other youth who come into the program, giving tours of facilities to parents, and organizing different events like the Inland Empire’s Got Talent event that took place at the CommUnity Fest on May 31. Leon Abdullah, 17, learned how to become an audio engineer through Johnson. He is one of the youth leaders who trains younger kids about music production and songwriting. To him, music is the best way to express your senti-

ments. “Some kids have a hard time expressing themselves during conversation, but if they do it by performing a song they feel more comfortable,” he said. “It’s how they develop their social skills.” Michael Bennett, 17, of Chino Hills, the winner of this year’s Inland Empire’s Got Talent showcase will be working with music producer Romeo Williams on a full album beginning on July 14. The senior at Ayala High School who sounds a bit like Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé when he performs with Jazz band Give Up the Junk, said the work Johnson does is phenomenal and he is grateful for the opportunity the program has provided to him. “People like him taking their time out to help the youth is important,” he said. “Everyone is about themselves nowadays, so it’s great to see people do things not because they want attention, but because they genuinely love helping people. That’s something a lot of us in today’s world need more of.”

Priscilla’s Helping Hands provides spark in Del Rosa neighborhood

COURTESY PHOTO

Children of the Del Rosa neighborhood playing a scrimmage during one of many soccer clinics organized by Priscilla’s Helping Hands.

By Anthony Victoria

hat began as the Hospitality and Outreach ministry of the Ecclesia Christian Fellowship Church in the 1990’s continues to blossom as one of San Bernardino’s most active non-profit organizations dedicated to helping others. Priscilla’s Helping Hands, Inc. Project R.E.A.C.H. (PHH), located at 1314 E. Date St. in the Del Rosa neighborhood of San Bernardino ensures that the disenfranchised and poverty-stricken members of their community can access programs and services to help them live more sustainable lives. As one of the founding members of the Inland Empire Community Collaborative (IECC), PHH had its start through a one year capacity

training program initiated by First 5. The organization, according to Executive Director, Marche’ Haynes, was fortunate enough to be among the first to be chosen. From there on, PHH was able to develop their strategic plans, sustainability plans, and review their mission and vision statements. “It gave us the opportunity to step back outside of our own group, have some fresh ears and eyes, and really flesh out who we were and what our intentions were in the community,” she said. “Especially fundraising. That’s a huge part of small non-profit organizations. You live and die by the grants.” PHH continued to go to the capacity trainings for several years due to their success rates. At the end of their third year in the program, they decided to form their

own collaborative with the help of several other organizations. “That’s what funders are looking for,” Haynes explained. “They don’t want to fund individual agencies so much as each are doing the same thing in their own way. So we wanted to bring all of our resources together to see what we could do as a group.” PHH focuses primarily on providing resources to young children. Their mission is to help them thrive in all the definitions of success, according to Haynes. They offer a School Readiness Preschool program and a Case Management Program for parents. Ranging from the basics to more complex issues, they provide a vast amount of assistance to families in need. “We make sure they have adequate shelter, food, health, and

clothing and we look at social, mental, and emotional issues,” Haynes said. “Based on our assessment findings, we then refer them out to experts. A number of kids in our area are traumatized in one shape or form. We come alongside and provide a safe haven for the kids.” One of those safe havens is the weekly Soccer Clinics organized by Public Relations Manager Araceli Fosado. Every Saturday at Jefferson Hunt Elementary school children from the Del Rosa neighborhood gather to receive lessons on how to properly stretch before practice, how to dribble a soccer ball, how to receive and give a pass, and learn about ethics and sportsmanship. “This is more than just playing soccer,” said Fosado. “These children are learning how to become part of a team, build a stronger character and interact with members of their own community.”

Fosado, who is also a Communications (Public Relations) student at San Bernardino Valley College was quick to thank college-aged volunteers like Moses Orona and Mayra Venegas for the time they put in to organize the clinics. "This program is also possible through the hours that college volunteers provide to us on a weekly basis," she said. Beginning in July, PHH will be conducting the “Summer Fun Days” educational workshops that will provide children in the Del Rosa neighborhood the opportunity to interact with college students and learn about numerous subjects that range from Art to Mathematics. "Our intent is to provide safe alternative activities to enrich the life-styles of these kids". For more information, contact Priscilla’s Helping Hands at (909) 881-2800.

day operations. Jesus Cardenas died in March 2013. Along with being leaders in the business community, the Cardenas has been strong advocates of education, health and any efforts that improve the quality of life in the community. The family established the Cardenas Markets Scholarship Foundation Inc., which has served as one of the Inland Empire’s leading philanthropic organizations, supporting programs at Cal State San Bernardino as well as the University of California, Riverside, Cal Poly

Pomona, the University of La Verne, Mt. San Antonio College, Chaffey College, College of the Desert and Imperial Valley College. The Cardenas Markets Scholarship Foundation has also supported the Esperanza Scholarship Foundation, the Inland Empire Scholarship Fund and Bright Prospect and Promise Scholars, all organizations mentoring and assisting students to achieve academic success.

Cardenas Markets founders to receive CSUSB honorary Doctorates

he late Jesus Cardenas and his wife Luz, founders of the Cardenas Markets chain, will be awarded honorary doctorates of humane letters for their remarkable contributions to business, education and quality of life in the Inland Empire by the California State University system and California State University, San Bernardino. The doctorates will be bestowed to Luz and to Jesus (posthumously) at Cal State San Bernardino during the commencement ceremony of the university’s College of Business and Public Administration on Saturday, June 14, at 3:45 p.m. “It is truly an honor to recognize Jesus and Luz not only for their extraordinary accomplishments in creating one of the most successful companies in the Inland Empire, but also their advocacy of issues that are crucial to our region, such as education and health,” said Tomás D. Morales, president of Cal State San Bernardino. “Their work in the community is beyond exemplary. It places them in the company of some of California’s most important figures.” Luz Cardenas thanked the Cardenas Markets employees for their hard work and dedication in serving the community. “We are deeply honored in receiving this very important honorary degree,” Luz Cardenas said. “Our success and our commitment to respond to the community’s needs could not have been done without the support of our employees.”

The official announcement was made April 10 during the fourth annual Inland Empire Hispanic Leadership Council Gala, held at the Cardenas’ home. The Cardenas will join Hardy Brown Sr., who will receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters during the College of Arts and Letters Commencement ceremony. The Cardenas’ personal journey is a classic American success story. After migrating from Jalisco, Mexico, and years working in fields up and down California, Jesus and Luz began selling meat and ethnic foods, including Luz’s home-

cooked recipes from Jalisco. Their products grew in popularity and in 1981 they opened their first store in Ontario. It was a family business from the very beginning, with Jesus and Luz as partners, and has since evolved into one of the most successful privately owned companies in the Inland Empire. Today, Cardenas Markets has 30 stores in Southern California and Nevada with more than 3,000 employees. Even as it has grown, it remains a family business. The Cardenas’ children – Jesus Jr., Jose, Lupe and George – are involved in the day-to-

Select works from art students at Cal State San Bernardino will be featured during the 44th annual Student Art Exhibition at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art on campus. The opening reception is planned June 13. Featured here are works from last year’s exhibition. By Yazmin Alvarez

rt students from Cal State San Bernardino will showcase their creative works and achievements during a culminating celebration and annual exhibition at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art at Cal State San Bernardino. The 44th annual student art exhibition runs June 15 through July 30 at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art, RAFFMA, at Cal State San Bernardino. An opening reception for the exhibition and end of the year party will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., June 13. “It is always so gratifying and awe inspiring to see what the students have been working on in the studios.” said Katherine Gray, CSUSB professor of art in a news release.

“An amazing display of work, it illustrates a determination to master a material or genre that shows in the flourishing of their creative vision.” The artwork displays include paintings, sculptures, glass and ceramic art, photography, metal working, installation art, graphic design, print making, woodworking and plenty more, according to event coordinators. This year’s event, which will display about 50 exhibitions, will bring in artist April Greiman as the select juror for the highly competitive showcase. “The student exhibit has a long history featuring the next generation of artists,” according to a RAFFMA news release. “Students submit their work with a 30 percent chance of being selected for display in RAFFMA’s main gallery. Each year the exhibition reflects the students’ unrestricted and artistic feeling and attitude toward the most current social is-

sues. Students who were not selected as entrants in this year’s show will be displaying their artwork in the hallway of the museum, said coordinators. The June 13 opening reception is free and open to the public. General admission to the museum is free, however, a $3 donation is suggested. Parking at CSUSB is $5. The museum is open Mondays through Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and is closed Friday and Sunday.

Brianna Irwin won prep athletic awards as she fought bullying

By Harvey M. Kahn

rianna Irwin was cut from the San Gorgonio High School soccer team as a freshman. By her senior year she was All-CIF first team in soccer and track and was selected to the Southern California Coaches All-Star soccer team. In between time, Irwin found herself in the middle of an anti-bullying campaign at San G. as well. First she had to help herself. By Irwin's senior year, she turned a D average into an A average. She will study accounting and play soccer at UC Riverside next year. "I got kicked off the soccer team at San Gorgonio as a freshman because of grades. It wasn't going good," recalled Irwin. "Sports was everything to me and to not play was a reality check. If you don't study, you don't play. That's what I'm most proud of, the way I finally grew up." As a

freshman, the thought of being the SGHS girl's Ken Hubbs Award winner never crossed her mind. I knew it was a big deal when Paul Rodriguez won the Hubbs last year. Everyone was talking about it and I just hoped that someday that it would be me. When they called me into the office and told me I had won, I was filled with enjoyment. I appreciate the watch the Hubbs Foundation presented me." Irwin was forced ato grow up in other ways at SGHS. As a senior athlete she was part of a mentoring program where she helped guide seven freshman. That's when she inadvertently got involved in trying to stop bullying. "One of my students was getting bullied because she didn't look the way other kids looked. She didn't look the way society says people should look," said Irwin. "I went up to the bullies and told them they were hurting my friend

and that it was just wrong. The bully didn't realize what they were doing. Bullies are just immature. I told the administrators about it. People must speak up. Most will just go along with it. It is very rare when you find people who stick up for those getting bullied." Irwin's resume is filled with soccer and track honors. She was a member of the SGHS San Andreas League championship team as a junior and the league's defensive MVP as a senior. Along with her CIF selection, she was chosen to the San Bernardino Sun AllCounty 2nd team. She later advanced to the CIF-Track Prelims after winning the SAL championship in the 100 and 300 meter hurdles. She played varsity volleyball as a junior. Irwin was a two-time female athlete of the year at SGHS and a three-time scholar athlete of the year.

Tahir Rashed-Mills concludes recordbreaking career at San Gorgonio High

By Harvey M. Kahn

an Gorgonio High graduating senior Tahir RashedMills finished his prep career with a pile a honors. He quarterbacked the Spartans football team to a 10-0 record and to the 2013-14 San Andreas League championship, leading the team to the CIF-SS semifinals. Rashed-Mills was selected to the Cal-Hi All-State 1st team, was the SAL Offensive MVP and the San Bernardino Sun Player of the Year. As a first time track performer, he qualified for the CIFPrelims in four events. He was San G's school Ken Hubbs Award winner. Rashed-Mills, a native of Phoenix, wasn't bitter when discussing not receiving the overall Ken Hubbs Award. "I knew about the award because Paul Ro-

driguez and Ryan Hunter-Simms from San G. had won it before me. Some of the coaches told me my grades weren't good enough," said Rashed-Mills. "The guy who won it, deserved it." That guy was Bloomington wrestling champ Uzoma Owuama, who had a grade-point-average of 3.7. Rashed-Mills had a 2.24. "High school was fun for me. It was like a stepping stone." Rashed-Mills said the fun is over and it's all business now. He is already taking college-level courses online in preparation of his move to Yuma, Arizona on July 1st. He will quarterback the Arizona Western Matadors for two years at the community college level and prepare for a career in criminal justice. There are already a dozen Division I colleges lining up for his services. Fresno State, New Mexico, Ore-

gon and UCLA are a few. Rashed-Mills broke individual records and helped break many team records, some stood at San G. for 30-to-50 years. He eclipsed the school season scoring record by throwing and rushing for a combined 45 touchdowns, this despite playing in only portions of some games due to lopsided scores. San G. athletic director Matt Maeda called Rashed-Mills' performance "dominant" in the San Bernardino-Riverside County All-Star Football gamer. Maeda said Rashed-Mills was featured four consecutive weeks by NBCTV on Fred Roggin's High School Football Hero Highlights. Maeda said Rashed-Mills helped conduct the San Gorgonio High School Annual G-Force Leadership Academy.

Elizabeth Rosas contributes on the athletic courts, in the community

By Harvey M. Kahn

lizabeth Rosas went to Colton High School her first two years and decided to go the new Grand Terrace High for her junior and senior years. It was her decision to enroll in a new school in order to be among the first. By her senior year, Rosas helped hang the first and only championship banner in the school's new gym. It reads: Grand Terrace Titans 2014 Sunkist League Tennis Championship. "It was shocking," noted Rosas. Rosas was also captain of the Titans soccer team that qualified twice for the CIF-playoffs and won its first post season game this season. Earlier, she was named All-Sunkist League 1st tennis doubles and ran the 1,600 meters in track. "If I would have stayed at

Colton High, I'm not sure I would have made varsity. Probably," said Rosas. At Grand Terrace, she was named the female athlete of the year and the school's 2014 Ken Hubbs Award winner. She will attend Cal Baptist University next year and take prenursing classes. She is not certain if she'll play soccer but "keeps in touch with the coach." Grand Terrace athletic director Tiffany Gordon wrote that Rosas had a 3.45 GPA in Advanced Placement classes. Rosas said that budgeting time was not an issue. "Homework and practice was never anything I thought about. It depends on your motivation. I found the time," said Rosas. "There were a lot of school activities that I couldn't attend but I'd rather be at practice." Rosas does acknowledge that she might need extra time to focus on her studies at the college level.

"It takes a lot to play," she says. Either way she will continue to play recreational soccer. She never played on a travel ball team yet helped Grand Terrace soccer coach Ryan Pacheco's team to a 17-4-6 record this season. "Many schools had girls that played travel ball. Yes, they were better. They take it more serious. It wasn't that difficult for me to go against them. It motivated me to play better." School officials point out that Rosas spends time volunteering through her church, Christ the Redeemer, where she helps organize retreats and fundraising events. She is a youth leader who helps prepare holiday baskets and food drives for the homeless. Through school, she contributed to the community as a member of the Interact Club. "I like helping others. It makes me feel good," concluded Rosas.

Well traveled prep soccer star Riley Phillips visited foreign orphanages

By Harvey M. Kahn

s a member of the Arrowhead Christian Academy soccer team Riley Phillips was named All-Ambassador League first team four years. As a junior she was selected the league Offensive Player of the Year. As a senior, she was picked the Defensive Player of the Year. Phillips helped the Eagles to an undefeated league title in 2013, followed by another championship in 2014. Phillips filled in her freshman and sophomore years as a member of the U.S. Olympic Development Program team. In between time, Phillips was a member of the ACA track team and performed when needed in the high jump, the 4 X 400, and the 400. Over two Easter Breaks, she went on 10-day missions to the Dominican Republic

and the Ukraine. In those countries, girls do not compete in sports so she played some goodwill soccer against the boys. "Going to those countries made me appreciate the opportunities that I have," said Phillips. "It gave me a greater understanding of how other people live." Phillips and other ACA students spent ten days entertaining children in orphanages. The school's Athletic Director Greg Wojczynski traveled with the students through the Students International sponsored mission. Wojcyznski said that due to the overall body of contributions that Phillips made at ACA, that she was the school's 2014 Girls Ken Hubbs Award winner. "Riley was very active in ASB and was ranked #11 academically out of 78 seniors. She was the senior class secretary and earned a Lifetime California Scholarship Federation membership," said Wojcyznski. She was also selected the Top Social Science student at ACA.

Phillips will attend Cal Baptist University, Riverside next year and will play soccer on a full scholarship. She will take courses in preparation of becoming a communications disorders specialist. "My ideal plan would have me working in some kind of school setting," said Phillips. Wojcyznski thought Phillips would be taking some courses in American Sign Language. Although Phillips was selected as one of the top-25 prospects in the country in the 18Under soccer division and was able to compete against U.S. Olympic hopefuls, she will no longer seek to make the 2016 team. She was driving alone to Olympic training facility in Chula Vista and the 200 mile roundtrip drive was too much. "After I finish playing in college, I might be open to that again," commented Phillips, who is currently on vacation with her mom in South Africa.

Her message was how she turned negativity into something constructive. This is what prompted her to run for mayor and become the first of her gender and of African descent to hold the title

Mayor of Fontana. Mayor Warren challenged the audience to take notice of our youth and injustices occurring throughout the Inland Empire. Also among this group was the Mayor of Banning, Debbie Frankiln who spoke eloquently of her slave decent and how this was a factor which made her determined to be an instrument of change. Deborah Robertson, the first African American Mayor of Rialto was unable to attend but sent a representative.

Additionally, two elementary and one junior high Inland Empire student were awarded monetary accounts that will accrue interested to be used for college supplies. These students participation in an essay contest and had to write on the topic of Slavery and Martin Luther King. Jenascia Henderson the first place elementary winner said, “I am so happy to have been a part of this contest while writing my essay I learned a lot about my history and how slavery affects all

people.” Delta Academy and Delta GEMS which is composed of young women from the Inland Empire showcased their intellect, talent and accomplishments with prestige and class. Lloyd Ashford III a participant in the Empowering Males to Build Opportunities for Developing Independence (EMBODI) was awarded a lap top to aid in his studies as he will be a new student entering San Bernardino Valley College. The Jr. Black Achievers-Dynamic Steppers put forth a step performance which left all in awe and admiration. The Social Action Committee along with many members of the chapter coordinated this remarkable and memorable event. The chapter president Lisa M. Beaird stated, “culmination is where we unfold openly the many programs and projects the chapter toiled diligently to make successful this sorority year and their impact on the cities we serve. There is much more work to complete and communities to change and as Deltas we must continue to transform lives for the better one person at a time.”

ediatric patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital will be riding in style thanks to a donation from McCarthy Building Companies. The Southern California division of the company recently donated 20 red Radio Flyer wagons through its “Heart Hats” community outreach program to LLUCH as a way to provide a fun alternative means of transportation within the hospital. Since the hospital already uses wagons to help nurses and family members transport children throughout the units and the hospital grounds, the donation from McCarthy was greatly appreciated as it helps expand the alternative to using wheelchairs, said LLUCH. “McCarthy’s donation of these wagons is just one of the many contributions the company has made to Children’s Hospital during our long-standing relationship,” said Jillian Payne, executive director, LLUCH Foundation, in a news release.
