it was living out an experience,” Chisum said. “It was fun. It was fast. It was a dream come true. It’s my time to do things now. If that means jumping into a race car, then I’m strapping in for it. I spend my time how I like.” Chisum first decided to become a free spirit 30 years ago after the death of her husband. After work one day, she simply hopped in her van and drove off. The leisurely drive turned into a three-week road trip to see her grandson. Since then, she’s traveled around the U.S. and Canada. “I’ve never looked back,” she said. While Chisum has made successful strides at marking off her wishes, she says she’s just started her journey and has plenty more to do. “I’m 85 and have almost met all things on my bucket list. But I haven’t met Kyle--you better believe that’s on the list.”
and resident of Rialto’s Ramrod Senior Housing community, recently experienced what her “Kyle” does for a living. The perfectly coiffed senior citizen slipped on a helmet, jumped into the passenger seat of a race car and took three laps at more than 170 miles-per-hour around the track at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. “I giggled all the way around,” she said. “I’m a fast driver and I’m telling you, it didn’t feel like we were going 170.” When the laps were completed and the time came to take off the helmet, Chisum’s friend and neighbor, Mary Baker, said the speed-granny didn’t have a hair out of place. Baker was the one responsible for making the NASCAR experience a reality for Chisum, not just because it would have been a thrill for the adrenaline junkie, but because it was one of the item’s on Yazmin Alvarez is a reporter Chisum’s bucket list. with Inland Empire Community “To anybody else it’d be just a Newspapers and can be reached drive around the track, but for me at iecn.yazmin@gmail.com.

here to see that and support (the efforts). I’m proud that the community came out to be a part of that--a part of us.” The Ritz was founded 10 years ago after budget cuts threatened funding for district-wide fine arts education. Since its inception, more than $375,000 has been raised to help RUSD classrooms keep fine arts related programs alive. Held at Wilmer Amina Carter High School, the campus’ namesake, beamed as each act took to the stage. Carter, who was one of the original Ritz committee members has attended the fundraising event each year and said she wouldn’t miss it for the world. “What a way to help fund your schools,” Carter said. “What a way for the community and parents to participate to keep the arts alive.” Proceeds from the event were raised through ticket sales and silent auction items donated by area schools and district departments.

Bringing that tradition to the stage this year was the Togagae Family, a group of six students from Kucera Middle School performing their version of The Temptation’s classic, “Shout.” Made up of Lui Togagae, 14, Raymond Togagae, 14, Kevin Togagae Feliuai, 13, Natasha Togagae, 11, Valeriah Togagae Masoe, 14 and Violett Togagae, 13, the family group was excited to perform in front of the hundreds in the crowd to show what family traditions and unity is all about. “I feel that this is a great opportunity for us to represent our family, traditions, school and community,” said Raymond. “It’s really exciting for us because we’ve been doing this since we were young and it lets us show people who we are,” Violett added. For Interim Superintendent Mohammad Z.

A City Assignment: The last time I wrote this column a nine member Volunteer CitizenBased Charter Committee for the City of San Bernardino had been appointed. Little did I imagine that I would agree to sit on the committee when one of the appointees decided to step down. Meeting every Tuesday from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m this committee is receiving input from the public, the city manager and city departments while examining charters from other cities. The charge from the mayor and council is to examine the city charter in
F
order to make reform recommendations that would help the city's financial situation and make the operation of the city beneficial to all its citizens. The committee includes: Casey Dailey, Dennis Baxter, Gary Walbourne, Hillel Cohn, Hardy Brown, Phil Savage, Michael Craft, Tom Pierce. Working with the committee are consultants Dr. Bill Mathis, City Attorney Gary Saenz and City Clerk Gigi Hanna. This hard working group has a very short timeline (two more meetings) to report initial findings to the mayor and council for possible charter changes to present to voters in November. There is every possibility that this committee will be on going as the task of review of the charter for modification/revision/repeal will take some time to consider all the possible ramifications. There is much work to be done beyond the initial report. The public is welcomed to address the committee in writing or in person at its meetings. Rialto Unified: I was very pleased to attend "Puttin’ on the Ritz", one of the best efforts made by a school district to preserve its fine arts programming. This event in its ten year continues to garner the support of the entire school board, the City of Rialto,
and businesses and individuals from surrounding communities. The program highlights the talents of its students from its elementary, middle and high schools. Congratulations to the hard working committee and especially to the very talented students.
or most of my life I’ve been fascinated by short, pithy phrases that convey profound truths. Or ideas that I can translate into meaningful truths. “Give me liberty or give me death.” (Patrick Henry.) “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” (F.D. Roosevelt.) “Know thyself.” (Socrates.) “To thine own self be true.” (Shakespeare.) “In God we trust.” Anon.) And, “Earth’s crammed with heaven, and every common bush aflame with God; but only those who see take off their shoes. The rest sit around plucking blackberries.” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning) All of these pack truths that stimulate my mind. But there is another phrase that bothers me. It is an uncommon phrase that is almost never quoted. I first heard it many years ago, used by an old black preacher in South Florida. The references are too many to list. It is used 453 times in the Bible. (KJV) The text for his sermon was simple, “IT CAME TO PASS.” His interpretation was unusual. It certainly wasn’t theologically correct. But it got my attention and hopefully yours. His basic premise or idea was simple. “IT” refers to all the negative, unpleasant, difficult, failures, griefs that come our way. They cause pain, tears, grief, depression, loneliness and separations. But, and it is an important “but.” He said, “They will pass. They are not permanent. As certainly as they will come, they will go. Hang in there. Trust in God. His arms are underneath you.” If you’ve ever been to a black service you know what happened
then. Rejoicing, jubilation, shouting, praising God. It (they) came to pass. Life is too short to stay miserable. The passing of time changes events in our lives. Insight and wisdom erases much of the sting of rejection. Our beliefs bring hope and comfort. BUT SO DOES THE HELPFULNESS OF OTHERS. As an example a friend recently sent me a story. He did not tell me if it was true or merely an urban legend. I’ll condense it. A well-dressed lady confronted a down-and-out vagrant sitting on the sidewalk. She spoke kindly but he was affronted. “Leave me alone” he growled. To his amazement she stayed looking at him. “Are you hungry?” she said. Sarcastically he replied, “No, I’ve just come from the President. Now go away. Leave me alone.” A cop shows up and asks if she has a problem. “No. But will you help me to get this man inside? I’m going to get him something to eat and out of the cold.” “Jack, this is a good deal for you. Don’t blow it,” the officer answered. Finally, the lady and the policeman got Jack into the cafeteria. The manager was angry that a person like Jack was in his restaurant. The lady said, “Sir, are you aware of the banking firm across the street?” He was, for he did business with it. “Sir, I am Penelope Eddy, president and CEO of the company.” She then sat down across from Jack and said, “Jack, do you remember me?” He responded, “I think so—I mean you do look familiar.” “I’m a little older,” she said. “Maybe I’ve filled out more than in my younger days. When you worked here, I came in that door,

cold and hungry. I had come to this city looking for a job, but couldn’t find anything. I walked the streets. It was February and I was nearly starving. With only a few cents I came into this cafeteria hoping to get something to eat.” Jack lit up with a smile. “Now I remember,” he said. “You came up and asked if you could work for something to eat.” Penelope responded, “You said it was against company policy. Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich, that I had ever seen and gave me a cup of coffee. And then I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register. I knew then that everything would be all right.” Old Jack knew she had started her own business. “I got a job that afternoon. I worked my way up and eventually started my own business. With the help of God, it prospered. Today I own this building and this restaurant.” She then gave Jack her business card and told him to pay a visit to a Mr. Bob Lyons, her personnel director. “He’ll find a place for you and give you an advance. I’ve already called him.” There were tears in the old man’s eyes. “How can I ever thank you?” he said. “Don’t thank me, thank God. He led me to you.” Outside the cafeteria, the officer and Penelope chatted for a few minutes. “Thank you, Ms. Eddy, I saw a miracle today. Something that I will never forget.” The moral of this story? GOD CLOSES DOORS NO ONE CAN OPEN. AND GOD OPENS DOORS NO ONE CAN CLOSE. Amen Selah. So be it.

May the 4th Be With You!
T
his Star Wars Day--May 4--the force is strong… with plenty of ways to celebrate and you don’t have to travel to a galaxy far far away. For those that have no idea what I’m talking about, Star Wars Day-May 4th, which goes with the saying, “May the force be with you,” or “May the 4th be with you,” get it? Is the day to celebrate the saga. Really, it’s simple-keep up. To celebrate, I’m starting my day as everyone else should with “Toast of Tatooine” because food is life and every Wookiee needs to eat. Toast of Tatooine: two suns made Luke Skywalker's homestead of Tatooine extra hot, but two eggs make this toast extra tasty. The recipe for Twin Sun Toast can be found in "The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and other Galactic Recipes" by Robin Davis. Then, I’m keeping it classy and heading to San Diego for a fitting May 4 “Nerd Wedding” and following it up with an outdoor screening of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope at a winery later that night. I won’t say where, because frankly, I want to share my love for the force with my favorite Jedi. But, to be fair, I’ll dish out some other really cool ways to revel in the epic day. Jumping right in, the first official trailer for Star Wars Rebels will debut on Sunday. Fans can access the trailer beginning at midnight Pacific Time on the 4th on StarWars.com, ABC.com, ESPN.com and Disney.com.
The trailer will also appear during the premiere of the LEGO special Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday. Disney-owned ABC will show a thirty-second preview during Good Morning America May 2. If you’re looking to start your day off with an epic adventure, head out to a Disney Store as the first 100 guests will receive a free Star Wars Pin. Guests will be introduced to the story and characters that started it all in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope with fun in-store activities, giveaways and promotions. For those with younglings ages 3 and up, activities are planned at stores where kiddos can learn the ways of the force like discovering the Jedi Mind Trick and learning how Obi-Wan Kenobi uses it to serve the greater good, mastering a Lightsaber through hands-on training, helping Luke Skywalker destroy the Death Star through an interactive experience on the store’s Media Wall and participate in a Medal of Bravery Ceremony. Looking for something a little more on the artsy side of saga? Head over to Los Angeles as a legion of gifted artists have put their own spin on a legendary Star Wars design. Lucasfilm, Disney Consumer Products and Neff are holding a Star Wars Legion exhibition May 2-4 at the Robert Vargas Gallery, 620 Main Street in Los Angeles. Artists from across The Walt Disney Company including Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, Marvel and Pixar—as well as select street artists chosen by Neff and celebrity Star Wars fans –all come together to create individualized interpretations of the iconic stormtrooper helmet in celebration of Star Wars Day. Viewings of the decorated customized stormtrooper helmets are free and run May 2 from 4-8 p.m., May 3 from 2-6 p.m. and May 4 from noon to 4 p.m. at the gallery. For those bookworms, head out to a local comic book shop and pick up your favorite Star Wars series, as the first Sunday in May happens to also be Comic Book Day. However you celebrate, whatever you do… May the 4th be with you!

The Unforgettables ask you to GIVE BIG on May 8
April 30, 1999 was a day that has made a huge difference in the lives of 1000's of Inland Empire families! Little did the founders of The Unforgettables realize the impact that was being created! Montecito Mortuary Chapel at the intersection of Loma Linda, Colton and San Bernardino was the meeting site for 30 local leaders as the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital Chaplain Tim Evans presented and explained his idea of how to meet a previously unmet community need. And with the groups unanimous support and commitment of personal wealth, wisdom and hard work as volunteers that evening, The Unforgettables Foundation was created. Fifteen years later, 5000 grieving and at-risk families have received essential and critically needed bereavement support for especially the funding of a simple and dignified funeral for a child. In 2013, the group aided almost 300 cases, and now, has been of assistance to parents in over 100 SoCal comMany believe that raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour or more will solve income disparity. I as well as Warren Buffet believe that this is not the solution to closing the gap between the rich and the now poor middle class.
What we have now in America is an abundance of cheap labor. I recommend that all should take advantage of this opportunity. Our federal government has billions in loan guarantees by way of the Small Business Administration to fund anyone who has the gumption to invest in themselves and start

their own small business.
When I had the first thought of opening my own business I took my father’s advice. He told me that starting a business of your own takes 10 percent cash and 90 percent guts. Fortunately, I had the 10 percent cash and I finally got up the guts against all odds to open that business. I realized that I could make just as good or better a decision as any boss I had ever had and more importantly I realized that I would work harder for myself and my family than I would for any employer.
Now is the time of opportunity. There is an abundance of cheap labor. There is a need for a zillion new products and services. Only by getting involved in the economy, taking a chance and providing a better business that will in turn provide better wages for all will this economy close the gap between the rich and the diminishing middle class.

Former Colton High quarterback Johnny Brascia danced himself to Broadway
T
By Harvey M. Kahn
he list of exceptional athletes graduating from Colton High goes back 100 years. None transformed so drastically than 1950 graduate Johnny Brascia, who was the Yellowjackets' quarterback and the forward on the basketball team. Brascia was an All-Citrus Belt League player on the first teams coached by Tom Morrow, who as basketball coach also had eight future pro baseball players. However, the late Johnny Brascia was Morrow's only future Broadway dancer. Many Broadway critics considered Brascia in the same breathe as Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Sammy Davis, Jr. Brascia did not nearly have the same name recognition, yet he was the favorite of Elvis Presley and the younger generation. His dance numbers were included in shows of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Steve McQueen and Lena Horn. Brascia was in eight feature length movies, including the 1954 "White Christmas' classic. For 30 years his dance partner was Tybee Afra. His other top rung partners were Cyd Charisse and Vera-Ellen. "We were on Colton's basketball team together when I was a sophomore and he was a senior," said Roy Cook. "Tex Drummond and I were brought up from the JV. I didn't have much conversation with Johnny and didn't know him other than on the court. Back then, the younger player's idolized the starters. I looked up to Johnny."

Cook said that Brascia never showed any indication in high school of going into the performing arts. He was also in the Colton HS baseball team picture. "I was very surprised when I saw his name on the marquee in Las Vegas. It was in the early 1960's and I hadn't heard anything about him since he left Colton HS. It's too bad. I don't think too many of us from Colton knew about his later accomplishments," said Cook. "He was a great athlete who
turned out to be a multi-talented guy. Thinking back, he did have good balance. There are many performers who were once athletes, but not many of them were quarterbacks who became Broadway dancers." Cook called Brascia's accomplishments even more worthy when you consider the era. Cook agreed that male dancer's were not considered masculine. Cook said that Brascia's father, Gaetano owned a liquor store in Colton on
Highway 99, which is now Valley Boulevard. Brascia's mother was Catarina. His late brother, Vincent was a varsity tennis player at Colton High. There is a three-year time period in Brascia's life that goes unaccounted. The void exists from his June 1950 graduation at CHS until his Broadway debut in 1953. Newspaper columnist Walter Winchell reported that before stardom, Brascia was ejected from Paramount Studios after climbing
a wall so he could gawk at the Hollywood stars. Historian Harry Carson Frye guesses that Brascia may have served for two years in the Korean War. "In that time, the military drafted guys right out of high school. That would explain those missing years. He might have learned to dance professionally in the military," said Frye. Brascia died in 2013 at age 80. Attempts to contact his daughter Christina McNown were unsuccessful.

ob Hitchman III, Highland, made his 1,000th blood donation Wednesday, April 23 at LifeStream’s San Bernardino Donor Center. Hitchman, 59, became the second donor in LifeStream’s 63-year history to reach the plateau, which represents 125 gallons of donated blood. Larry Bloemsma, Redlands, preceded him in February of this year. His contributions to community wellness over nearly 35 years have assisted approximately 1,5002,000 hospital patients. According to Hitchman, he began donating blood “about 1980” at the urging of his wife,
Jean. “She told me, ‘You make the same excuses everyone else makes for not doing it.’ She was right. “And once I started, and learned where the blood goes, and how it helps people, it was easy to make the decision to become a regular donor.” Jean has donated whole blood more than 120 times; her 15-gallons plus puts her in elite company as a member of LifeStream’s 10Gallon Donor Club. Since 1987, Bob Hitchman has donated platelets, which can be collected biweekly up to 24 times per year. He has maintained that donation schedule, with very few
exceptions, for more than a quarter century. The next generation of Hitchmans has taken the cue from their parents. Sons Robert IV, a police officer, and Buddy, a firefighter, both are regular blood donors. Bob III began volunteer coaching at San Gorgonio High School in 2000, when Robert IV enrolled in the school. Robert IV and Buddy graduated from SGHS in 2004 and 2006, respectively, but the elder Hitchman still volunteer coaches during fall and spring semesters. LifeStream is a local, not-forprofit, independent blood bank that provides blood products and

International best-selling author gives lecture on “The Perception of Muslims in Post 9/11 America”
R
By anthony Victoria
eza Aslan’s visit to San Bernardino Valley College on April 23 provided students with a platform to discuss topics about religion, ethnicity, racism, and culture. The renowned author and professor of creative writing at the University of California, Riverside first met with several students and faculty during an invitation-only dinner and answered several questions relating to his new book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth which was the New York Times’ bestseller in 2013. He has been subjected to a lot of controversy due to his views on religion in recent times. Fox News reporter Lauren Green challenged Aslan’s authority on the topic of Jesus during an interview in July of 2013, by stating why a Muslim would write about Jesus in the first place. He responded by explaining that he wrote the book as a Historian and not a Muslim. Dennis Sandoval sat with Aslan during the dinner and described the dialogue that occurred between the novelist and students. The Ethnic Studies and History student explained the discussion revolved around issues that varied from philosophy, racism, and mainstream media. “When 9/11 happened for exam-

ple, the first thing that everyone wanted to do is put a face to the perpetrator,” said Sandoval. “Once they put the Muslim face out there, that’s when everyone began to look at Muslims in a different light by thinking these were people we can’t trust or we can’t associate ourselves with. It’s an unfortunate that we are like that here in the United States. We often try to label certain groups as radicals.” Aslan’s lecture titled, “Fear Inc. – The Perception of Muslims in Post 9/11 America”, touched on many of Sandoval’s sentiments. He began his lecture by explaining that the United States—a country
of immigrants, cannot define its collective identity based on a common ethnicity, culture, language, or religion. “These are the things that have defined the nation-state since its beginning,” said Aslan. “The whole notion of a nation-state was this idea that you can get a homogenous group of individuals, place a border around them, and call them a nation-state, but there was nothing homogenous about us in this country. But we had no choice to define ourselves according to a shared sense of ideals, principles, and values.” Aslan proceeded to explain that
the perceived backlash against Muslims that occurred in post-9/11 America never happened like most U.S. residents believe. On the contrary, he explained that there were calls for unification and rallying to fight against the ideological conflict that the War on Terror is perceived as. “In this war of ideas, the best tool that we have at our disposal is the 3 million or so American Muslims who are currently integrated into every aspect of American society,” Aslan said. According to the international best-selling author, two-thirds of U.S. residents believe Muslims
should not have the same rights as other religious groups in the nation, one-half believe that Islamic and American values conflict with each other, and one-third (about 100 million U.S. residents) think that Muslims should be forced to carry special ID’s that identify them. He jokingly told everyone attendance that, “there’s an analogy there but I can’t quite put my finger on it,” possibly referring to the similarities of the Star of David used to identify Jewish residents of Europe during the Holocaust. “I can sit here all day and give you all kinds of graphs, surveys, and data, but it’s not going to matter, it’s not going to change anyone’s mind,” he said. “This is the thing. We have this belief that bigotry is the result of ignorance. But that’s not the case. There’s a lot of smart bigots in this world.” Aslan continued by explaining that the problem is that data does not change people’s perception regarding anti-Muslim sentiments. The reason for that as Aslan stated is that bigotry resides in the heart and not in the mind. “There is this kind of disintegration in how we view our diversity,” he said. “The easiest way to define yourself is in opposition to the other. What does it mean to be an American? To a small population, it means not being Muslim. Everything that is said about Muslims was also said about Catholics, Jews, Japanese, and any other major immigrant community in this community.”

he United States and Inland Empire will be well represented at the second Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) Youth Skills Camp in China at the end of May by Inland Empire Job Corp student Asha
Johnson, who was recently selected for the honor. A Riverside resident, Johnson is a student at in the electrical trade program at the Inland Empire Job Corps Center in Muscoy. Upon completion of her program in May, she is giving serious thought to staying on another year and a half to two year to obtain her associates degree and perhaps pursue electronics as well. Her long-term goal is to work for an information technology (IT) department or creating her own products. In order to be considered for the opportunity students had to interview with regional Job Corps leaders and Johnson impressed them all very much and she was selected as the representative. “I didn’t think they’d chose me,” Johnson said about the opportunity to represent the United States at the APEC Camp. “I didn’t think I had a chance. But once I’m there it will be a great chance to prove that I deserve it.” The APEC Youth Skills Camp was created to promote vocational skills training and generate awareness for the importance of skilled trades in economies around the world. “Asha is an extraordinary young lady and is the epitome of what Job Corps is all about,” said Claudia Lopez, Business and Commu-
nity Liaison Inland Empire Job Corps Center, in an official statement from the Job Corps. “We are very honored and proud she will be representing the Inland Empire Job Corps Center.” But like many other youth who come to the Job Corps in search of new opportunities, Johnson was not without her share of struggles. Prior to joining the Job Corps Johnson had custody of younger siblings, ages eight and 12. When she joined the program they went to live with their mother but all the same, Johnson says she wants to be able to provide for them, which was one of the big motivators in pursuing a better education. “I want to be there for them and to be a good role model,” she said. Her time at the Job Corps has been very well invested thus far and Johnson encourages other young people to give it a try. “It’s a great opportunity to have an edge you may not have otherwise,” she says. “It’s an opportunity o be taken seriously. Take advantage of it.” And for those who may be facing challenges and difficulties, she also offers words of encouragement. “Just keep trying,” she says. “Even the worst day of your life is just 24 hours. You’ll always have highs and lows.”

n Saturday, March 8, supporters of the St. Bernardine Medical Center Foundation came out to celebrate in style at the annual “Gathering at Twilight” fundraising gala. Committed donors raised $248,000 to benefit the hospital’s cancer services and programs. With over 400 people in attendance, the evening’s special tribute honored the late Martin and Evelyn Matich for their unwavering dedication and commitment to St. Bernardine. The masquerade themed gala was emceed by Ron Rezek, chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and Mary Parks, senior public information specialist for the office of the Riverside County District Attorney. Highlights of the evening included presentations by Joel Block, M.D., and Shellee Lazar, MD, two physicians involved in the
development of St. Bernardine’s cancer services and programs. As the signature fundraiser for the St. Bernardine Medical Center Foundation, the gala included silent and live auction activities as well as a
special “fund-a-need” auction where generous guests contributed toward the purchase of three much needed blanket warmers for various cancer care areas at the hospital. “This year’s gala highlighted the importance of the development of a comprehensive cancer care program for the communities we serve and provided an opportunity to recognize those special individuals who are instrumental in ensuring the program’s development will continue to support our patients,” said Michelle Rainer, vice president and executive director, St. Bernardine Medical Center Foundation.

oma Linda University Health campus will be transformed into an African safari on Tuesday, May 6 and the public is invited to attend the free event. Wild animals native to Africa and Asia will surely amaze the crowd as San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park Tour once again graces the LLUH grounds. “We’re very excited to once again host our friends from San Diego Zoo Safari Park and give our students, employees, and our local friends and families a glimpse of the wonderful creatures that live on our planet,” said Rick Williams, vice president for enrollment management and student services at Loma Linda University Health. Among the animals to be showcased are a cheetah, serval and a Eurasian Eagle owl. Animal care staff from the Safari Park will offer presentations and discuss each of the animals, including giving information about the upcoming opening of the Tiger Trail habitat at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, CA, scheduled for May 24. Ina Saliklis, public relations specialist for San Diego Zoo Global,
said that the goal of the tour is to promote the upcoming new tiger habitat as well as to educate the public on the natures of the featured wild animals. So far this year the tour has traveled to Tucson, Ariz., San Jose and San Francisco. “Last year it was a huge turn-out (at Loma Linda) and a great success,” Saliklis mentioned. “The excitement of the crowd was amazing.” The event last year drew over 1,000 people. The tour had promoted the zoo’s Conrad Prebys Australian Outback exhibit, and the animals featured during the tour included a koala, red kangaroo, kookaburra, blue-tongued skink and a cane toad. According to Herbert Atienza, LLUH Media Relations Specialist, this is the second year the hospital has hosted the safari. LLU patients, as well as students, faculty and staff attended the event last year, and, Atienza pointed out, it was the first time many of the patients had seen a koala. The public is invited to attend the free event which will take place on the campus lawn located between the University Church and Prince Hall, 11092 Anderson Street, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 6.

Celebrating Cinco De Mayo! S
Cinco de Mayo 5K Fun Run for Sight set for Saturday in Rialto
By Yazmin Alvarez
tretch those legs and lace up the running shoes, a “Cinco de Mayo Celebration; 5K Fun Run/Walk for Sight” is planned for Saturday in Rialto. Hosted by the Rialto Lions Breakfast Club, the inaugural 5K fundraiser kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Rialto Civic Center, 150 S. Palm
Avenue. Proceeds from the event support the Club’s efforts in continuing to provide assistance for the blind and those in need of vision care. Registrants for the 5K will receive a one-of-a-kind race T-shirt, a big sombrero to run in and a $1 off discount ticket to the Lions Club food trailer available after the event. Following the run Saturday will also be a vendor fair hosted by Ri-
alto’s Recreation and Community Services department from noon to 3 p.m. Festivities at the fair will include merchandise and information booths, live entertainment, a DJ and will feature ballet folklorico dancers from Garcia Elementary as well as a group of Aztec dancers. While Saturday’s event is aimed at bringing families and the community together, it also serves as an
opportunity for the club to be creative in their efforts of spreading the word for their cause. “Since some fundraisers are lacking in the city, we had to come up with something different to raise money for the club,” said the event’s coordinator, Mike Jones. “We wanted something fun and something different. I think this is definitely filling those categories.” Early registration for the
Run/Walk for Sight is $35 and available through May 2 at www.racewire.com or www.active.com. Race day registration begins at 7 a.m. at Rialto Civic Center is $40. Registration for children age 10 and under is $5. The vendor fair is open to the community. For more information call 909877-9706.
MFA and Poetry student at CSUSB who helped lead the poetry and prose pod said he believes the biggest lesson the students took away from the “Be part of the Art” program was the notion of encouraging to take chances. “It’s taught us that the biggest lesson for these kids is to take risks and chances to explore different avenues of art,” he said. “Many of these kids have these preconceived notions that they can’t do this or that so they stop taking chances or don’t want to share art. This is kind of that safe environment where they can take
those chances and encourage each other.” Leilani Hernandez, whose daughter Madison and James took part in the program said the program helps bring families together and is a great experience for everybody. “This program teaches them to express themselves whether it’s through writing, through poetry or painting,” she said. “I’m a working mother now so I don’t get to see them as much so being with them at these times is really wonderful.”
Art Jam highlights mentorship provided by CSUSB students, San Bernardino community
F
By Anthony Victoria
or two months, college students, community leaders, and teachers worked with students from various elementary schools in San Bernardino on art projects that range from photography, to drawing, to poetry and prose. The impact of the “Be part of the Art” program was significant enough to garner the attention of their parents and soon enough they too began to grab brushes and engage in the fun activity. One particular parent, Arturo Olivera, was influenced by his daughter 10-year-old Justine to participate. “I don’t know how to draw that well, but I draw what I see and what I imagine,” he said. “My daughter kept on asking me to come because she said this could be an important step for her, so I decided to come out and support.” On Saturday April 26, the San Bernardino County Museum held the Art Jam to highlight the work of the young students and celebrate the importance of the Arts and Humanities. Volunteers who organized classes and workshops—formally referred to as “pods”—were mainly students from Cal State San Bernardino’s Students and Coyotes: Instruction in Poetry and Prose (SCIPP) program and student/community organizers from the San Bernardino Generation Now group. For many of the elementary students and parents, it was a relatively new experience, according to CSUSB English Juan Delgado. By working with the undergraduate and graduate students involved in the SCIPP program and English and MFA (Music and Fine Art) departments, they were able to receive newfound information relating to college. “Many of these families live on the west side of San Bernardino and they are literally five minutes from the campus and they had never been there,” Delgado said. “When they came to visit the campus, they were blown away. It’s a win-win for us.

Celebrating Cinco De Mayo! Mexican militia defeats French army at Battle of Puebla
GENERAL IGNACIO ZARAGOZA SEGUIN Introduction
The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16. Setting The Stage
The battle at Puebla in 1862 happened at a violent and chaotic time in Mexico's history. Mexico had finally gained independence from Spain in 1821 after a difficult and bloody struggle, and a number of internal political takeovers and wars, including the MexicanAmerican War (1846-1848) and the Mexican Civil War of 1858, had ruined the national economy. During this period of struggle Mexico had accumulated heavy debts to several nations, including Spain, England and France, who were demanding repayment. Similar debt to the U.S. was previously settled after the Mexican-American War. France was eager to expand its empire at that time, and used the debt issue to move forward with goals of establishing its own leadership in Mexico. Realizing France's intent of empire expansion, Spain and England withdrew their support. When Mexico finally stopped making any loan payments, France took action on its own to install Napoleon III's relative, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, as ruler of Mexico.
Mexico Confronts The Invasion France invaded at the gulf coast of Mexico along the state of Veracruz (see map) and began to march toward Mexico City, a distance today of less than 600 miles. Although American President Abraham Lincoln was sympathetic to Mexico's cause, and for which he is honored in Mexico, the U.S.
ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN OF AUSTRIA
was involved in its own Civil War at the time and was unable to provide any direct assistance. Marching on toward Mexico City, the French army encountered strong resistance near Puebla at the Mexican forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. Led by Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin, a smaller, poorly armed militia estimated at 4,500 men were able to stop and defeat a well outfitted French army of 6,500 soldiers, which stopped the invasion of the country. The victory was a glorious moment for Mexican patriots, which at the time helped to develop a needed sense of national unity, and is the cause for the historical date's celebration. Unfortunately, the victory was short lived. Upon hearing the bad news, Napoleon III had found an excuse to send more troops overseas to try and invade Mexico again, even against the wishes of the French populace. 30,000 more troops and a full year later, the French were eventually able to depose the Mexican army, take over Mexico City and install Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico. Maximilian's rule of Mexico was also short lived, from 1864 to 1867. With the American Civil War now over, the U.S. began to provide more political and military assistance to Mexico to expel the French, after which Maximilian was executed by the Mexicans his bullet riddled shirt is kept at the museum at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. So despite the eventual French invasion of Mexico City, Cinco de Mayo honors the bravery and victory of General Zaragoza's smaller, outnumbered militia at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
Today's Celebration For the most part, the holiday of Cinco de Mayo is more of a regional holiday in Mexico, celebrated most vigorously in the state of Puebla. There is some limited recognition of the holiday throughout the country with different levels of enthusiasm, but it's nothing like that found in Puebla. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become increasingly popular along the U.S.-Mexico border and in parts of the U.S. that have a high

Note there are no machete wielding civilians, as some accounts have it. population of people with a Mexican heritage. In these areas the holiday is a celebration of Mexican culture, of food, music, beverage and customs unique to Mexico. Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have
also had a hand in promoting the holiday, with products and services focused on Mexican food, beverages and festivities, with music playing a more visible role as well. Several cities throughout the U.S. hold parades and concerts during
the week following up to May 5th, so that Cinco de Mayo has become a bigger holiday north of the border than it is to the south, and being adopted into the holiday calendar of more and more people every year.

olton trailed all game and had failed on several scoring opportunities throughout the game, but Rose Velasquez changed that with one swing. With two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth, Velasquez sent a 2-2 pitch from Kaiser pitcher Marissa Nares over the heads of the outfield and to the fence in left-center that cleared the bases and give Colton an 8-7 over Sunkist League rival Kaiser. “I was just trying to get my mind right,” Velasquez said of her thoughts before the at-bat. “I was striking out a lot.

to focus and relax myself.” Kaiser (9-12, 4-5 League) made it interesting in the top of the seventh after Linda Garcia led off with a solo home run to make it a one-run game. Colton (8-10, 3-5) pitcher Gabby Rodriguez regrouped though and retired the next three batters to close it out. Rodriguez suffered a rough start as Kaiser scored three runs in the first and two runs in the second to go up 5-0, but she rebounded to allow just two hits (home runs to Destiney Henderson and Garcia) over the final five innings. “She settled in very strong,” said Colton Head Coach Joe Montes. “I was thinking about bringing in
Ramirez to close it out, but I decided to stick with Gabby and it worked out.” The Cats committed two errors in both the second and third innings leading to four unearned runs for the Yellowjackets and make it 5-4. “That’s what happens when you let teams linger around,” said Kaiser Head Coach John Stevens. “It’s going to come back and bite you and it did today. Colton did a great job of coming back and staying in the game. The first couple of innings we jumped on them pretty good.”

ucaipa’s Joseph Chapman dominated during a 5-0 win over Citrus Belt League rival Redlands East Valley on Wednesday, April 23. Chapman struck out six while tossing a three-hit shutout, retiring 10 in a row at one point, to earn his sixth win of the season. The win avenges a loss to REV on April 3, where Chapman allowed four of the six runs he has allowed all season over 42 1/3 innings. Yucaipa jumped out in front early as Thomas Lerouge opened the game with a single off REV starter Blake Tuthill, moved over to second after a bunt by Breyer Gayle driven home on a single by Hunter Reade to make it 1-0. The Thunderbirds nearly got a
second run that inning, but Heade was thrown out trying to score from second on a single by Chapman. It looked like the Wildcats might answer in the bottom of the first with two on and one out, but a strikeout and pickoff at second base ended the threat. A close game got broke open in the top of the fifth after Cory Moore led off with a single. REV committed throwing errors on back-to-back bunt attempts, allowing Moore to score. An intentional walk to Thomas Lerouge was followed with a sac fly by Gayle to bring in another run. A groundball error by Gayle and a wild pick-off attempt by Tuthill led to two more runs and make it 5-0. Tuthill finished the day having allowed five runs for the Wildcats, all of them unearned, on five hits and two walks. The win gave Yucaipa (15-5, 7-2 CBL) sole possession of first place in the CBL, but that was shortlived. Two days later, REV (11-7. 7-2) won the decisive third game of the season series 9-3 to earn the tiebreaker edge heading into the final weeks of the season.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-603851-JB .

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

San Bernardino students display art at 41st annual Juried Visual Art Exhibit at Inland Center Mall

By Jazmine Collins
he San Bernardino City Unified School District held its 41st annual Juried Visual Art Exhibit at Inland Center Mall April 22 through 24, 2014. The district chose to display the art at the mall for it’s high degree of visibility by students and parents. “I have always felt that it is important to support creative artistic development in our schools. It is such a positive force for good. It gives the student an outlet to express their individuality whether through drawing, painting, sculpture etc. We have such talented students in the San Bernardino City Unified School District and we at Inland Center Mall have al-
ways felt it was a privilege to showcase this talent and let the community see it and let the students know they are appreciated,” stated Inland Center Mall’s Senior Marketing Manager, Terri Relf. 208 students from sixth to twelfth grade participated in the exhibit from seven different schools in the district. Students displayed their best work during the exhibit, which was judged by a team of artists and educators. A vast array of works were displayed throughout the mall reflecting each artist’s personal style and medium of choice. Ceramics and sculptures were elegantly displayed on tables. Other works included mixed media, paintings, drawings and printmaking. “These
great works reflected the dedicated efforts of the classroom instructors, the students and the parents who encouraged and supported their students,” said SBCUSD representative, Steven Phillippi. Students received certificates for their artwork, ranging from Best of Show, first through third place, and honorable mentions. Inland Center Mall merchants also provided gift cards as awards to students. According to Phillippi, the school district hopes to continue to grow and develop events like this in hopes of uniting San Bernardino city schools and the community in arts appreciation and cultural awareness.

Redlands hospital hosts an “Evening with the Artists”

Original works from Rancho Cucamonga artist Angela Koenig will be displayed inside Redlands Community Hospital as part of the hospital foundation’s nonprofit art program. By Yazmin Alvarez
he hallways inside Redlands Community Hospital aren’t the typical sterile beige-colored walls that make up most medical facilities. “Ours are filled with art,” said Redlands Community Hospital Foundation president Zachary Tucker. And the walls just got a little livelier thanks to five area artists and their donation of artwork to the center. The Redlands Community Hospital Foundation recently held its annual “Evening with the Artists,” a fundraising art show benefiting the hospital foundation’s art program. The April 25 benefit, held at the Redlands Community Hospital Stan and Ellen Weisser Education Pavilion, featured works from local artists, Aïda Schneider, Angela Koenig, Martha Cowan, Seung Lee and Ray Fedorchak. Koenig, who is based in Rancho Cucamonga, created a special collection--Fifty Shades of Green-consisting of a variety of medium specifically for the event. “I wanted to be organic and cre-
ate something soothing,” she said of the dozens of pieces she brought for sale. The works were filled with vivid blues and greens and she created them to “help take people away,” she said. Launched in 1978, previous fundraising events have brought new pieces of original work from area artists into the hospital’s collection. Now in it’s sixth year, the collection features more than 750 works of original art and historic photographs in the Redlands Community Art collection and has brought in thousands in support of the foundation’s program. “That’s something particularly special and unique about the (Redlands) Community Hospital,” said Tucker about the art program. “The mission of the hospital is to create a healing environment. As part of the art program, the foundation feels we can be a part of that mission by leading and managing this art program.” The foundation hoped to raise $25,000 during the event, which would be supported through a 20 percent portion of sales from artwork, said Tucker.
