their father Owen Klaas’, showcasing his surreal art, the girls have no problem drawing in their own art fans. While their smiling freckled faces and charm help attract potential buyers to their booth, it’s the girls’ creativity that shines through their pieces that make dozens of sales. Their set up is a team effort and family affair, but their artwork is unique to their personalities. For Isabelle, 11, Star Wars is her obsession at the moment. On display she had a few framed sketches and some detailed clay sculptures of R2D2 and a mini Jawa. “We have a lot of the figures,” she said. “These are just some of the ones I finished for the show.”

While Eliza, 8, also has a thing for the saga and sketching up Wookies, one of her favorite things to sculpt currently is her baby brother, Ezra. Their mom Jessie, carries the 6month-old around in a sling and Eliza took up the opportunity to cherish the memory by creating a tiny clay Ezra. “See, he’s cute,” Eliza said, holding up the little clay figure of her brother. “This one is my favorite.” And the creativity doesn’t stop there. Intricate sculptures of animals and food also filled a display case Sunday. Each item varied in price from $2 to $10. By 2 p.m., they had made more than $30. “Once we made $102,” Isabelle

said. “And 50 cents,” added Eliza. But the girls don’t spend all of their earnings in one place. They save at least $5 from total sales. “We’re not sure what we’ll use if for,” Isabelle said. “But we both know we want to be artists--just like our dad. He’s the inspiration.” To catch the young artists or to learn more, visit Owen Klaas on Facebook at Fiendish Thingies or email isaeli@verizon.net.

Arrowhead Water Co. has generated billions from San Bernardino bore holes

By Harvey M. Kahn

fter more than one hundred years of being the source for the Arrowhead Water Company and the billions of dollars that's been derived from artesian wells in Waterman Canyon, there is no evidence that San Bernardino has ever gained financially. Since 1909, an estimated 20,000 gallons of Arrowhead Springs water per day has been tapped and transported from wells in Arrowhead Springs, located five miles above 40th and Waterman. San Bernardino has basically turned water into gold for what has grown into an international giant, now known as Nestle Waters North America. San Bernardino's spring water is the main reason that Switzerland-based Nestle has become the world's largest bottled water company and a smaller reason that Nestle S.A. is the world's largest food company. The Arrowhead Water Company was purchased by Nestle in the 1980's after Nestle started a massive expansion in 1976 to market its Perrier Water in North America. Along with being known as the fast food capital, San Bernardino is the capital of commercial drinking water. It became such a money-maker that the Standard Oil Company owned Arrowhead Springs Water during the

1930's, one of many corporate owners over the years. According to a company customer service phone-bank spokesperson named John, only an unspecified amount of Arrowhead Water now comes from its original source adjacent to the old Arrowhead Springs Hotel. John said that there are concerns about the amount of water that is being depleted from its San Bernardino site. John explained that there's now 15 sources for its Arrowhead Water brand, including some in Canada. A search of the San

Bernardino County fictitious business website did not list any derivative of Arrowhead Mountain Water conducting business in the county. The real estate listing site, loopnet.com stated that Arrowhead Springs Road was recently annexed by the City of San Bernardino. Officials in the city business licensing said to contact the county clerk of the board, who said to call the assessor, who said to call the real property specialist, who said to call the clerk, who said to call flood control properties. John said the Arrowhead Water Company continues to

Words to think about: Change Begins With Us!

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

homas Paine was a strong voice with his writings during the pre-revolutionary days. In January of 1776 he wrote, “We have it within our power to make the world over again.” Six months before the Declaration of Independence. The truth of Paine’s thought is also applicable to the individualyou and me. We have the power within ourselves to make our world as we would like it to be. Change begins with us. One way to remake our world is to challenge the condition that often affects people. “Learned Helplessness.” It is very close to the psychological concept of habituation. Helplessness must be learned.

Consider a young child. Child Psychologists affirm that a child learns more in the first six years of their life than any other comparable time. They absorb everything. Their curiosity is unbounded. Stella and I have three greatgrandchildren under 2 ½ years old. Their parents will verify my premise. They are like sponges. They want to do everything by themselves. The opposite of helplessness. Then comes the firm hand or voice of discipline of parents; the guidance of teachers; the will of religion; the force of peer pressure. All of these forces encourage them to be helpless. Many of them succumb to it and become couch potatoes or living squash. They learn to be helpless; victims of their environment. Weak worms of the dust. Change their world? Hardly. But it can happen. It is never too late. By and large they accept their world as it is. Fettered and boring. My answer to “learned helplessness” is found in a book entitled, “Not Somehow, But Triumphantly,” by Bertha Munro. Her major theme was, “If You Don’t Like It, Change It.” Shades of Thomas Paine. Most football enthusiasts know the name Mike Utley. A pro with the Detroit Lions, he suffered a vertebrae accident and became a paraplegic. Have you heard of Eric LeGrand? On October 16, 2010, he suffered a similar vertebrae accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. Through perseverance and God’s help he has become a functional

paraplegic-movement in his shoulders and sensations throughout his body. He’s finished his college degree and published two books. As a motivational speaker, his theme is BELIEVE. He hopes to become a sports broadcaster. He obviously fulfilled the promise suggested by Thomas Paine. Incidentally, Eric played college football for Rutgers University and was drafted by the Tampa NFL team. Warren Mitchell is a veteran of thirty years in the U.S.A. Air Force. As a widower, he compensates his loss by writing poetry. In a recent poem that he sent me, he wrote, “Always blessed; never entitled.” I’ve thought about what he meant by it and what it means to me. It takes a great deal of faith to acknowledge the continuing presence of life’s blessing. In the Book of Hebrews, chapter eleven and verse six, it reads; “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” I’ve met people that seem to doubt everything; questioning the very essence of life. Yet, faith is the framework of our experiences. That money placed in the bank will be there when needed. Faith that drivers will stay on their side of the road. Faith. That food ordered in a restaurant will not be poisoned. Faith. That doctors will be skillful while operating on us. Faith. We are the recipients of life’s blessings. Including life itself. Not because we deserve them. Not that we are entitled to them. But rather because of God’s nature. As we care for our children; pro-

transport its water out of San Bernardino in trucks carrying two stainless steel tanks. John would not say how much, how often or where the water is delivered. John refused to provide his last name due to "company privilege." A request to speak to a company supervisor was not granted. John did say that Arrowhead feels a need to maintain its association "with its original water source" in San Bernardino. He referred to a $75,000 grant Arrowhead recently awarded to an Inland Empire group whose been cleaning litter along the Santa Ana River. According to a content analysis of Arrowhead Water reports, the estimated 20,000 gallons of water per day that were being transported out of Arrowhead Springs is based somewhat on oral history. The two tanks carried by truck can haul a load of 4,000 gallons in each tank. From 1909 to 1960, there was a train carrying about six large glass-lined tankers that went daily from Rialto Ave. and D Street, then directly up Mt. View to Waterman Canyon. When that is computed over the course of 100 years, there is the possibility that John is correct by indicating that Arrowhead Springs Water is being pumped out faster than nature can replace the water table. According to the Arrowhead Company web site it has four drinking water wells bored at Ar-

viding housing, food and clothing. Because it’s our nature. We love them. We are God’s children. He loves us. The song writer has spoken well. God has not promised skies always blue or flower strewn pathways all our lives through. But God has promised strength for our days, unfailing sympathy and undying love.” A very good Muslim friend of mine recently gave me a DVD of a Muslim professor explaining the

rowhead Springs. It has another water pump site in Running Springs. Its third site in San Bernardino County is in Deer Canyon Springs. John would not answer questions about the current drought and how the Arrowhead Company could be affecting the local water supply. "Company privilege," said John. However, the Arrowhead Company does admit that some of its purified drinking water may come from the municipal water supply. A 1992 press release, stated that the Arrowhead Water Company Corporation opened a large bottling plant in Ontario. At that time, it stated that Connecticutbased Perrier Group of America was Arrowhead's parent company. Taxes and fees are paid for bottling in Ontario but no amount could be found paid to San Bernardino for its water. Court cases alleging fraud in marketing San Bernardino spring water can be traced to 1910. A Riverside judge ruled in favor of the Arrowhead Hot Springs Company against Los Angeles-based Arrowhead Springs Water Company over misleading newspaper advertising. Over the past 100 years, Arrowhead Springs Water has been accused of fraudulently marketing mineral water, as stated in articles published by the Riverside Independent Enterprise.

Whether they believe in God, Jesus, Allah, the Superior Being or Ultimate Reality; they all believe in a Creator that is a Provider. Just as the birds are cared for, so we humans are also cared for. Our response must be one of gratitude. Amen. Selah. So be it.

#PutSolarOnIt

n June 21st we will celebrate the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. In the Inland Empire, where we get an abundance of sunshine year-round, this often times means more heat for a longer period of time, which doesn't sound appealing to many of us who have lived here all our lives. But this year, what it means to me, is the perfect day to celebrate the many achievements and advances we have made in solar power and local clean energy. Just 3 weeks ago, my organization, the Sierra Club’s My Generation Campaign, along with non-profit GRID Alternatives, with the support of San Bernardino City Hall, Supervisor James Ramos, State Senator Norma Torres and Mayor Pete Aguilar hosted a Green Job Mixer in San Bernardino, connecting solar companies with community members for potential career opportunities. According to Mosaic, an online

market place that offers solar investments to the public, a new solar system is installed every 4 minutes in America. This is an optimistic statistic that means more job creation for our communities, better health for our people and our planet and reinvestment in American ingenuity. Mosaic is currently celebrating the Summer Solstice by asking people where they would like to see solar installed in their community. If you’d like to see solar installed on your home, church, city hall or school you can visit https://joinmosaic.com/putsolaronit and suggest where you’d like to see solar go up in your community. I for one would love to see us put solar on the Carousel Mall and keep our reinvestment into San Bernardino going. So let’s quit wasting time and #PutSolarOnIt!

Westside Residents Still Waiting for Omnitrans to be a Good Neighbor

The Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice (CCAEJ), and the residents of Westside of San Bernardino held a rally at an Omnitrans event on Tuesday April 22nd, 2014 that illustrated their frustrations and anger about the tanks being in their neighborhood. Since this event, the community has decided to continue attending Omnitrans monthly Board of Director’s meetings in order to keep up on what is taking place. CCAEJ Community Organizer Ericka Flores and about 30 residents of the Westside of San Bernardino attended an Omnitrans board meeting on Wednesday June 4th to express their ever increasing concern about the highly flammable Liquefied and Compressed Natural Gas tanks that are still sitting in their neighborhood. The community also attended to ask critical questions related to the dangers of the tanks that have not been previously answered by the

Lugo graduates from Bourns College of Engineering despite medical challenges

COURTESY PHOTO

Rosemblim Lugo graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from UC Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering Monday. His college experience was fraught with medical challenges that included the diagnosis of lymphoma whereby he underwent eight months of chemotherapy. He was steadfast in his resolve to complete the program and he was successful. He is pictured here with wife Karen and son Rosemblim F. Lugo.

By MJ Duncan

osemblim Lugo, a native of Mexico who traveled across the border with his parents when he was a child seeking a better life for their son, graduated from UC Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering Monday. The years that led up to this monumental day were fraught with medical and financial challenges, offset by the joys that came when he and his wife, Karen, welcomed their son Rosemblin F. Lugo, and his acceptance to BCoE. Lugo’s fervor for discovery was evident in his teen years when he spent hours taking apart a variety of devices to learn how they operated. His knack for it led people to bring various items for him to fix, and this passion for invention would eventually steer him towards becoming an electrical engineer.

A first generation college student, his higher education experience began at Imperial Valley College and Southwestern Community College. He navigated through the maze of college trying to avoid becoming lost in the system. In order to make ends meet he worked as an audio visual aide and offered assistance to people with disabilities. A momentous highlight was Lugo’s acceptance to UC Riverside’s BCoE in 2009, which was book-ended by two medical incidents. The first was the necessary removal of his tear glands, which left him unable to produce his own tears that frequently makes his eyes appear red and fatigued. The latter, far more devastating, was when a doctor diagnosed a lump under his eyelid as lymphoma in 2010. Tumors were also discovered on his back and abdomen. Lugo was able to obtain treat-

ment at Loma Linda University Medical Center due to his university-based insurance, but he couldn’t take time off school because his medical insurance would be terminated. Before he began his eight-month chemotherapy treatment he and Karen decided to get married and try to conceive before the chemo would ravage his body. In 2010 they joyfully welcomed their first son, Rosemblim F. Lugo. “My advisor recommended that I take a quarter or two off, even a year off if necessary. I would always tell them no,” he said. “I was afraid that I would start working somewhere, and never ever find time to go back to school. I just wanted to finish the program, no matter what it took.” In 2012 buckling under the burden of medical bills, raising a young family and running out of financial aid Lugo was convinced he wouldn’t be able to finish the program. Thankfully Lugo’s parents were able to cover the majority of his academic and living expenses, while he simultaneously worked and went to school. As busy as he was, Lugo still found the time to serve on the BCOE Leadership Council and as a board member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which led to a full time position at ZebraSci, a medical device company in Temecula. His challenges and hard work culminated on Monday when the 34-year-old walked across the stage in front of friends and family to formally received his degree in electrical engineering. “They are very glad to see me finally graduate. I have been going to school for so long, hacking away a little bit at a time, and working while I went to school too,” he said. “I’m just glad I wasn’t ‘another guy who just went to school and took some classes.’ I know I left my mark at BCoE, and at UCR. I’m glad I finished and did my best with what I had. I think I really got the full experience.” While doctors are happy with Lugo’s diagnosis, he continues to undergo monthly chemo “maintenance” treatments.

CSUSB to close on Fridays as part of its Summer 4/10 schedule

or the 14th consecutive year, Cal State San Bernardino will again operate on a four-day, 40-hour workweek throughout the summer, beginning Monday, June 16. As has become tradition at CSUSB following June commencement ceremonies, the campus will operate on the 4/40 schedule through Sept. 5. Operating hours are 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Some offices will remain open on Fridays during the summer, and University Police remain on duty every day. The university will return to its traditional five-day work schedule on Monday, Sept. 8. The condensed workweek has helped the university reduce its energy consumption, while allowing the public more time to access university services during the expanded hours. The university also has encouraged energy conservation meas-

ures such as turning off lights in unused rooms, reducing lighting in hallways and turning off computers and other electronic equipment that are not in use. During the week of June 30, the campus will revert to an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule and will be closed on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. The campus also will be closed Monday, Sept. 1, in observance of Labor Day. The university’s summer session classes begin Wednesday, June 18. The regular 10-week summer session runs from June 18 through Aug 28, while accelerated sixweek sessions are scheduled for June 18-July 24 and July 28-Sept. 3.

Sinfonia Mexicana ¡Concierto de Alegria! A Father’s Day Tribute Concert

Sunday June 22, 2014, at 3:00 PM. Sturges Center for the Fine Arts, 780 N. “E” Street, San Bernardino, CA 92410 Music Provided by: Trio Ellas, Rafael Palomar and the Sinfonia Mexciana Mariachi Youth Academy

“

¡Concierto de Alegria!” presented by Sinfonia Mexicana on Sunday June 22, is a special Tribute to Fathers. Although one week after the traditional “Father’s Day Celebration the event and music is a way to honor “Dads” anytime. The concert will feature the ever popular “Trio Ellas” a first time in the area. Special performers will also include former lead singer for Mariachi Vargas, Rafael Palomar who is lead vocal instructor for the Sin-

fonia Mexicana Mariachi Youth Academy. Palomar will perform with Trio Ellas as well as with the Academy students. Trio Ellas Trio Ellas has been making waves with a unique sound that combines traditional mariachi and classic romantic tunes with a fresh contemporary twist. The trio's debut album "Con Ustedes" earned them a nomination for a 2012 Latin GRAMMY®. The trio is composed of Suemy Gonzalez (violin and vocals), a recent graduate of USC's prestigious Thornton School of Music , Nelly Cortez (guitarron and vocals), a fourth generation mariachi musician and recreational pilot, and Stephanie Amaro-Abad (guitar and vocals), a versatile musician who performs and records in genres ranging from electronica to mariachi. The girls’ high level of musical proficiency has allowed them to circumvent stereotypes and work at a world class level, with a professional track record that includes recordings for artists such as Benjamin Gibbard and Lady GaGa, and live performances with a myriad of top Latin artists ranging from Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan to Mariachi El Bronx. Rafael Palomar, Born in the port of Veracruz, México, Rafael Palomar started playing in the Plaza Garibaldi with

Mayor Davis Declares San Bernadino Men’s Health Week June 9-15

ayor Carey Davis has issued a proclamation declaring the week that ends on Father’s Day, June 915, 2014, as San Bernadino Men’s Health Week. This important awareness period is part of a national effort to celebrate fatherhood while helping to educate men, boys, and their families about disease prevention, medical screenings, and living healthy lifestyles. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of National Men’s Health Week. The legislation was sponsored by Senator Bob Dole and Congressman Bill Richardson and was signed by President Bill Clinton on May 31, 1994. In California, the life ex-

pectancy for men is nearly six years fewer than for women. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, men also have higher rates of death from cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports women nationwide are 100 percent more likely to visit their doctor for annual exams and preventative services than men. “We applaud Mayor Davis for helping raise awareness of the health issues facing men and their families by declaring June 9-15 Men’s Health Week in San Bernadino,” said Ana Fadich, Men’s Health Network (MHN) Vice President. “Men’s health is

truly a family issue, impacting not only men but also the women in their lives. We hope that by promoting the health and well-being of men and boys around Father’s Day, they will take action and set a doctor’s appointment in June.” In preparation for San Bernadino Men’s Health Week, MHN encourages health care professionals, private industry, faithbased organizations, community groups, and other interested organizations and individuals to plan activities and events which focus on men’s health during the week of June 9-15.

different groups at the age of 13, while studying in the Escuela Libre de Música in México City. Directed by his father Roman Palomar, Rafael performed with Mariachi Charros de Ameca for 15 years. As a member of Mariachi Vargas Rafael Palomar traveled to many countries including the USA, Japan, Holland, Canada, China, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru and others. They accompanied many singers, including Lucha Villa, Lucero, Beatriz Adriana, Estela Nuñez, Aída Cuevas, Guadalupe Pineda, and more. A very significant aspect of his work with Mariachi Vargas was Palomar's participation in approximately 35 recordings, considered classics in the genre today. Rafael Palomar currently resides in the United States and teaches music & singing. In his free time he composes arrangements for singers and mariachis who request them. Snfonia Mexicana a 501-(c)3 non profit organization will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2015. In 1985 Sinfonia was started by members of the San Bernardino Symphony and Hispanic members of the community with the purpose of introducing the classical music of Mexico to the Inland Empire. The concert featured the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra directed by Maestro Abraham

Chavez, then the conductor of El Paso Symphony, at that time one of the finest symphonys in the Southwest. Sinfonia Mexicana started a Mariachi Youth Academy in February 2009 at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts in San Bernardino. Middle and high school students learn to develop their instrumental and vocal techniques, which may be applied to any style of music, especially mariachi. Sinfonia Mexicana also sponsored a weekly after school mariachi class at Curtis Middle School in San Bernardino as an to the San enhancement Bernardino City Unified School District's (SBCUSD) arts program.

SBCCD Board of Trustees Installs New Student Trustees

Zoumbos; Board Vice president Kathleen (Katy) henry; Board president donna Ferracone; san Bernardino Valley college student trustee tiffany Joy Guzman; trustee Gloria macias harrison; Back row: trustee dr. donald singer; trustee John longville and sBccd chancellor Bruce Baron.

he San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) Board of Trustees installed newly elected Student Trustees Alexis Panaguiton from Crafton Hills College and Tiffany Joy Guzman from San Bernardino Valley College. Board President Donna Ferracone swore in the two students at their regularly scheduled meeting on June

12. SBCCD Board of Trustees President Donna Ferracone said, “Serving on the Board of Trustees provides both students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about balancing the needs of their various constituency groups against the constraints of the state budget. They also will have a wonderful opportunity for training in team-

work, leadership, planning and communication.” SBCCD Chancellor Bruce Baron said, “Previous student trustees have identified specific issues that their electorates were interested in, have researched those issues, and proffered policies and procedures that the Board has taken very seriously. We look forward to working with both Student Trustees and to

providing them with a rewarding learning experience.” Crafton Hills College Student Trustee Alexis Panaguiton first started her academic career at Crafton Hills College, there pursuing a degree in respiratory therapy. Not only is Alexis the first in her family to attend college, but she had the desire to seek more by joining the Student Senate as the Social Events Officer. As the Social Events Officer, Alexis was the lead on combating the implementation of AB955 at Crafton Hills College which was successful. As Student Trustee, she plans to be the voice of her fellow students by working with administrators, classified staff, and the student senate to help establish a positive learning environment. After completing her degree and the respiratory program at Crafton Hills College, she plans on obtaining a position at Loma Linda University Health Care for her ultimate dream. San Bernardino Valley College Student Trustee Tiffany Joy Guzman grew up in Redlands, Calif., where she played Varsity Girls Golf and took health and nutrition classes at Redlands High School. A Liberal Arts student at San

Bernardino Valley College, Tiffany is involved with the Associated Student Government and was elected Campus Events Director for the 2013-14 academic year. In addition, she was an assistant moderator for the 31st District congressional forum on campus, which provided more than one hundred students the opportunity of meeting the candidates. The time spent being Campus Events Director led her to pursue a political journey within San Bernardino Community College District, where she campaigned for her new role as a Student Trustee. Tiffany said, “I would love to plant the seed of motivation in student’s lives and help them reach their goals.” Ms. Guzman is actively involved as the secretary of the newly established chapter of the SCTA (Student California Teachers Association) club on the SBVC campus. In addition to installing the new student trustees, the Board recognized the outgoing student trustees, Yazmeen Flores from Crafton Hills College and Rosalinda Sosa Sanchez from San Bernardino Valley College for their year of service which completed this month.

Redlands police add armored vehicle to fleet

the redlands police department received one of 160 mraps or mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles, from the department of defense. the rescue vehicle was remodeled to fit rpd needs.

By Yazmin Alvarez

edlands Police Department unveiled the newest addition to its fleet recently--a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected rescue vehicle--or MRAP for short. The department says it is to protect its officers and residents in dan-

gerous situations. “Just like a gun or a ballistic vest is used for the protection and safety of officers and citizens from violent criminals, the ballistic rescue vehicle is a tool that officers will have available in the event of an active shooter or other highly volatile and violent incident,” said Police Chief Mark Garcia during the June 4 pub-

the inside of the vehicle was remodeled to make it suitable for deployment as a rescue vehicle.

lic unveiling. The vehicle will be used on an “as-needed” basis, Garcia added. Redlands Police Department received the decommissioned MRAP in September 2013 at no cost from the Department of Defense, according to police officials. It was one of around 165 of the surplus vehicles provided to police departments nationwide as part of a national military surplus program started by President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, according to a news release. Redlands was the only city in San Bernardino County to not have a tactical vehicle in its fleet, officials said. And since the addition of the MRAP, department officials such as police Cmdr. Chris Catren, feel Redlands PD is better prepared to take on violent incidents since they no longer would have to rely on obtaining a rescue vehicle from another city. “It’s another tool in the toolbox,” Catren said. Although the vehicle will only be deployed during volatile situations, its presence in the town has brought on concerns from several residents, raising questions during city council and town hall meetings. Garcia, however, insists it would only be used to protect the community. “We would use this for any situation that is high risk where someone may be armed and any tactical situation where the use of a vehicle would help us to rescue people or enter a dangerous zone without jeopardizing the lives of our officers,” he said. “Having the equipment ourselves is beneficial. If I have a situation where I need this and can deploy it in 20 minutes, that helps me to be able to keep my community safer.” Since the department acquired the vehicle, the MRAP has been reconfigured and repainted. Changes are included to its interior to make it suitable for deployment as a rescue vehicle, according to Redlands police. While the vehicle includes a

Adams has not given up a hit to a left-handed batter this year and has struck out a total of 34 men. He has not allowed an earned run in 16 innings at the home confines of San Manuel Stadium. Fellow reliever Kurt Spomer also gets the All-Star nod. If the Angels could have an organizational All-Star it may very well be the Honey Creek, IA native. The side-arming righty has used his sinker in Inland Empire this year as well as two stints in Triple-A Salt Lake and currently in Double-A Arkansas. Despite his promotion to the Texas League this week, Spomer is expected to be in “The First State” for the All-Star Game. The former walk-on at

Creighton University was a nondrafted free agent signee by the Angels in 2012. At Inland Empire he allowed an astonishing one run in 26.2 innings and was 2-1 with a team-best three saves. He held a 0.34 ERA and struck out 18 batters while opponents batted just .174 against him. Nate Smith, the southpaw from West Chester, OH was 6-3 with Inland Empire in the starting rotation over 10 outings. He had a 3.07 ERA and allowed just 41 hits in 55.2 innings pitched for the Sixers. The Furman (SC) University product struck out 51 while walking just 14. The 6’3” lefty will not participate in the game due to his promotion to the Double-A Arkansas Travelers on May 22nd. The 2013 eighth-round pick of the Angels is currently 10 with a 3.75 ERA in two Texas League starts. The Inland Empire field staff will be in the dugout for the California League squad by virtue of the 66ers’ California League Championship title in 2013. Denny Hocking will manage while Matt Wise will serve as Pitching Coach. As holdovers from last season’s staff, Hitting Coach Brenton Del Chiaro and Athletic Trainer Omar Uribe will enjoy the spoils of their championship season in person.

the third annual Library Days celebration is set from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in and around the library and smiley Park. By Yazmin Alvarez

he A.K. Smiley Public is gearing up for its third annual Library Days this weekend and organizers are turning to residents to share wartime memories. In commemoration with the upcoming centennial of the start of the Great War, Smiley Library Associate Archivist Maria Carrillo and historian Ann Deegan will be documenting local histories of World War I veterans and civilians. They ask Redlanders to bring photographs, documents and share any other WWI-related items from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the library’s Heritage Room during the Library Days celebration. “It seems that World War I is often overshadowed by the conflicts that came after it. We’re excited to learn stories of how the war affected Redlanders,” Carrillo said. Help conducting family tree research will also be available. Ron Running, from the Redlands Area Genealogy Society, and Smiley Library Archivist Nathan Gonzales, will also host a workshop in the Heritage Room from 10:15 a.m. to 11 a.m., explaining how to trace Redlands family history or a Civil War ancestor.

While previous Library Days events marked historical milestones including the 40th anniversary of the library’s Heritage Room and the city’s 125th anniversary, this year’s event is branching out to not only focus on historical themes, but also explore those of music and art. “Music will be a key part of our celebration", said library director, Don McCue. “If you’ve ever wanted to try out a ukulele, hand drum or other folk instruments, now is your chance.” To highlight the musical portion of this year’s event, library officials have gathered a few big names such as John, Peter, Paul and Ringo, making up the area’s very own Beatles tribute band-The Fan Four. To mark the 50th anniversary of the “British Invasion” the group will play a 45-minute set--dressed in full Beatles-style garb and offering plenty of bowl hairstyle tousling--at the Contemporary Club, 173 S. Eureka Street, just south of the Lincoln Shrine. The Fan Four is scheduled to hit the stage at 1 p.m. For those in search of a different beat, musician Ray McNamara, will be on hand playing the steel pan drums and offering an interactive “percussion jam session” open

to audience members of all ages. McNamara, whose film and TV credits include “Indian Runner” directed by Sean Penn, “The Devil’s Rejects” by Rob Zombie, the Grammy nominated score for Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” with Randy Newman, “The Roseanne Show”, “Who’s The Boss”, and “Going to Extremes,” will be performing between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Smiley Park along with musicians from the Folk Music Center and artists from Division 9. The Library Days celebration takes place in and around the A.K. Smiley Public Library and is free and open to the public. The event is made possible through a grant provided by ESRI. The first 400 guests who participate in any Library Day event between 10:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. or show their library card at the circulation desk that morning will get a special treat – a coupon good for a free In-N-Out lunch from the In-N-Out truck.

Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown Issues Statement on Budget Passage

ssemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) issued the following statement in response to the budget passage: “This year’s budget, crafted through the collaborative efforts of the Assembly, the Senate, and the governor, will provide vital resources to California and fund programs and projects that benefit communities throughout the state, including the 47th Assembly District. The budget provides over $100 million for affordable housing and will help create jobs in areas of new construction. It also contains a $500 million allocation to county sheriff’s offices for jail space and other facilities to help ease the cost of prison realignment on our local law enforcement officials with a special emphasis on rehabilitation. I am especially pleased about the $223 million increase in court funding, which includes $40 million in one-time funds for court facilities. Finally,

this budget reinvests in our students and repairs the damage done by multiple years of budget cuts that eroded our state’s public education system by sending billions - including an additional $4.7 billion in local control funding and $6 billion in deferral repayments back to our schools. I am proud to have joined my colleagues in supporting this balanced and on-time budget that pays down debt, creates a rainy day fund and reflects California’s priorities. I urge Governor Brown to initiate the final step in this process by signing the budget.” Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown represents the 47th Assembly District, which includes Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Rialto, San Bernardino, and the unincorporated communities of Bloomington and Muscoy.

hris Brown is free ... free at last ... because he finally dumped two properties he's been trying to unload -including his notorious and hated graffiti monster house in the Hollywood Hills. Real estate sources tell us ... the HH home is in escrow ... for $1.79 mil. We're told he also just sold a penthouse condo in West Hollywood that's been on the market for 2 years. Chris decided to sell the Hollywood Hills home after battling the city of L.A. and his neighbors over the brightly colored creatures he painted on his walls. He even-

tually covered it up. Chris bought the 3-BR crib for $1.5M in 2011 ... with real estate fees, he'll be lucky to break even.

As for the WeHo condo ... Brown bought it for $1.6 in 2011 and sold it for the same price.

Chris' neighbors will certainly be celebrating ... they hated him for throwing loud, endless parties.

Justin Bieber D.A. To File Vandalism Charges Today In Egging Case

ustin Bieber will be charged with criminal vandalism Monday in connection with the egging case ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

The charge comes on the heels of the D.A.'s decision not to charge Bieber in an alleged incident last month at a batting cage ... where a woman claimed he verbally abused her and grabbed her cell phone. The D.A.'s investigation turned up no evidence to support the woman's claim. The L.A. City Attorney is reviewing the matter, but it will almost certainly go nowhere.

We do not know if Bieber will be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. TMZ broke the story ... the prosecutor who investigated the case told the victim, "If this isn't a felony, nothing is." The neighbor has estimates showing $20K in damages from the egging. The case was sent to the top honchos in the D.A.'s office for a final decision.

There's plenty of evidence Bieber did the egging. TMZ posted video shot by the victim at

Kelly Clarkson Gives Birth to Baby Girl!

he 32-year-old singer said on Twitter on Saturday, June 14, that she gave birth to her and hubby Brandon Blackstock's daughter, who is their first child together. Perfect timing, too—the news comes a day before Father's Day! "Our baby girl River Rose Blackstock arrived on June 12th!" she tweeted. "Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes! Brandon and I are on cloud 9!! :)" The first-time mom, who mar-

the time of the January attack, and although it's dark you clearly hear the Biebs. And Bieber's own surveillance video -- seized in a nowfamous raid -- shows he was front and center during the egging.

ried Reba McEntire's stepson in a small ceremony in Tennessee this past October, couldn't be happier about being a parent! Just weeks before she and Brandon tied the knot, she revealed on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, "I want babies, like, right off the bat!"

"Well, I'm totally gonna have a girl," she predicted. "My first child will be a girl—I know it in my soul." (When her prediction turned out to be three months

later, she tweeted, "I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!")

But all that morning sickness was worth it! Because now, Kelly and Brandon get to welcome their daughter into their home, which they also share with his 12-yearold daughter Savannah, and 8year-old son Seth, from a previous relationship. "I really lucked out with the whole kids situation," Kelly said of her stepkids in a

"I kind of want to have two around the same age." Maybe baby Blackstock will have another sibling sooner than you think!

Kourtney KardashianThrows Scott to the Curb

cott Disick had a rough Father's Day weekend ... Kourtney Kardashian threw him out of their Hamptons summer rental.

Our Kardashian sources say Kourtney was pissed off at Scott for constantly leaving his family to party. They got into a nuclear argument at the beginning of the weekend which ended when she ordered him to leave the house.

We're told the conflict is ongoing -- Scott likes to party and Kourtney likes to stay home with their kids. Kourtney is especially upset because when Scott drinks

and parties it often ends badly ... with Scott arguing and fighting with others.

Kourtney instagrammed Scott on Father's Day, saying, "Thanks for being a loving daddy more than anything else." It's unclear if she's being sarcastic.

It's unclear if Kourtney has let Scott back in yet ... but one source says this happens a lot, "Same old s**t. They fight, get back together, he parties, she doesn't like it." PHOTO COURTESY
