the help of Vocabulary.com, an online educational game for mastering vocabulary -- her AP students, along with dozens from other classes, met and surpassed the challenge mastering 30,400 vocabulary words in August. Ten of those students mastered between 409 to 544 words. The online educational tool, which is being used as a pilot program at Rialto High, meets Common Core standards and is self guided and learned on the student’s own time. Students are not allowed to logon to the online-based program during class time, Johnston said. The hope is to get other Rialto school’s on board with the program and make Vocabulary.com a district-wide learning tool, she added. “It increases vocabulary, writing and comprehension abilities,” she said. “They can practice any words helping them study for different subject. It makes for engaged learning and these students are Re-entry, cont. from front

About 200 students in all, helped put RHS on Vocabulary’s leaderboard, currently ranking them as the top spot for the yearlong Vocabulary Bowl that kicked off in September. Students from more than 11,000 schools from around the United States and Canada have competed in the past year, according to Ben Zimmer, the Executive Producer for Vocabulary.com, which is headquartered in New York. But for Rialto’s top three vocabulary masters, Robert Cortez, who mastered 544 words, Wallace Dharman mastering 505 words and David Lozano who took on 430 words, Vocabulary.com is more than just a game. “It’s a mental challenge that keeps you engaged,” said Robert. “It’s not like looking at words in a book where you’ll eventually get bored,” he said. “It gives you reasons to keep

In addition to the resource fair, Rialto’s re-entry team began offering employment workshops in June, which are led by workforce development. The three-day workshops are designed to encourage the participant’s reentry and reintegration into the community through job skill enhancement. The workshops assist them with handling a felony conviction during the application and interview process, as well as how to effectively address gaps in employment. It covers all aspects of the job search, from computer assistance to mock interviews, according to a Workforce Investment Board news release. Also included are one-on-one counseling with an employment specialist, assessments, resume assistance, interview advice, individual employment plans and resources to vocational job training paid for by the county.

Questions continue to surround natural gas storage, diesel emissions in neighborhood

ver a period touching three centuries, thousands of students have attended Ramona-Alessandro Elementary in San Bernardino. Hundreds of thousands have lived for generations in neighborhoods around the school. They have adapted to the sounds, sites and smells of the former Santa Fe Railway. Many made their livelihoods from it. Now, residents say adapting is getting harder. Whether the uncomfortable feeling of having 60,000 gallons of natural gas stored in tanks in the neighborhood is real or the result of a savvy media campaign, having the potentially explosive liquid stored at the Omnitrans bus fueling station continues to make the neighbors feel uneasy. To compound the situation, Burlington Northern/Santa Fe operates a 24-hour transportation hub within distance to thousands of those same neighbors. Residents say their community is on the brink of becoming a possible combustible catastrophe. Advocates agree that expansion of industry is always zoned for low-income areas. Never near something like the Arrowhead Country Club. Taking on the railroad means going before congress. Going before Omnitrans means appearing before San Bernardino County. Residents say it is ultimately up to the San Bernardino City Unified School District since it is responsible for the health and safety of students. The Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice is asking Omnitrans to move its two natural gas tanks further from Ramona Alessandro Elementary. They also want BNSF to use greener technology to limit toxic levels of diesel emissions. The Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice

cites a report by Loma Linda University showing that residents living near the railway have a significant high rate of asthma and cancer. Community Action officials say having that much natural gas stored near an elementary school poses a threat, even if it's small threat. Furthermore, no one seems to know if there is a danger from the mixture of diesel and natural gas emissions. Community Action spokesperson Ericka Flores said her group has petitioned the San Bernardino school board for seven months for a resolution in support of having Omnitrans move its natural gas tanks further away from RamonaAlessandro Elementary. "It's pretty well known what kind of accidents have already occurred from natural gas explosions," said Flores. "There is never time evacuate." The Center is scheduled to be

heard again by the school board on Oct. 7th. They plan to appear again at the Oct. 1 board meeting of Omnitrans. The results of the 2012 Loma Linda University study, entitled Project ENRRICH basically calls San Bernardino a "hot zone" for economic development, due to cheap land, relatively inexpensive labor, and a bankrupted city ready to negotiate. The Loma Linda study indicated that industry's growth will continue within San Bernardino's city proper due to its population's inability to fight it. Such growth will cause further negative environmental impacts, says the study. Dr. Samuel Soret was the lead researcher on the Loma Linda University pilot study. Soret's research concluded that San Bernardino could be exploited due to a large population of limited English speaking, which is strongly associated with "poverty, food insecu-

rity and environmental inequality." Soret pointed out that more industry could follow due to "swaths of undeveloped land." Flores explained that most of her Westside community feels environmental issues from BNSF and Omnitrans are considered the same threat. In an effort to continue their 10-year cause, Flores and others attend San Bernardino school board meetings as well as Omnitrans board meetings. Her research revealed a number of possible malfunctions that could ignite natural gas at the San Bernardino Omnitrans fueling station. Omnitrans spokesperson Wendy Williams said there hasn't been a safety incident in the 30 years her company has been located at 5th Street and Medical Center Drive. Williams said the Omnitrans site is a state-of-the-art facility, which is inspected by her staff daily and monthly by an outside vendor.

"Natural gas is the cleanest, safest and cheapest of all the fuels," said Williams in a phone interview. Williams explained that members of Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice met with Omnitrans board members on Sept. 10. "As a response to their concerns we will conduct a feasibility study and a cost analysis. Then possibly change to a pipeline type of delivery system instead of using storage tanks,' said Williams. She says those options will be discussed at the Oct. 1 meeting of the Omnitrans Board. Williams further said that Omnitrans went through all the proper permitting processes. She told that before Omnitrans was located on 5th Street, it was the location of a large car dealership that stored large volumes of traditional gasoline. "It's always been mixed use here. It was once the major corridor of Route 66. There is a church, a park across the street and stores have been here. There is nothing to indicate that its unsafe." Flores says the neighborhood is uncertain about underground storage of natural gas or the routes that pipelines would take for its delivery. Either way, Omnitrans currently needs 12,000 gallons of fuel daily to operate. According to the Omnitrans website, it received a presentation in September from Proterra, a firm which produces electric buses. Omnitrans is looking to replace its current fleet, yet said it was too early to confirm the purchase of electric buses, which uses no liquid fuels. Penny Newman, executive director of the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice has not responded to numerous requests for comment on this matter. The San Bernardino Unified School District did not return a promised phone call on September 12th.

California State University is right for standing up for victims of sexual violence

ollege is a time for adolescents and young adults to venture into a world that’s filled with the dynamism of our nation’s future leaders. However, the college experience can also be a stressful time, a difficult time, especially for those who are and have been victims of sexual violence. California could become the national model to stem such conflict. The California State University– the largest in the United States – announced on September 23 that it will appoint advocates for victims of sexual assault on all 23 of its campuses and I believe it is a step in the right direction. Our state’s top universities, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC are among numerous institutions around the nation who have been abysmal when dealing with sexual cases. As a result, the federal government is now conducting investigations at these campuses. The CSU’s decision to provide a support system couldn’t have came at a better time. One in five women are raped during their lifetime, according

to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, with 40 percent of women reporting that the assaults occurred during their time in college. Imagine if your sister, your daughter, or your wife were to be a victim of rape in a place that is supposed to encourage diversity and integrity? But it’s not only limited to women. Men can be victims too. And when these people undergo so much vulnerability and struggle with self-conscious issues, it becomes difficult for them to report this to administration. Which is why it’s a wise move to bring in people who have empathy and the strength to support them in their time of need. By having a trained, designated victim advocate on campus, victims of sexual violence can learn about different options for reporting and learn about the various resources available in their community. The benefits may sound clear. However, there is a potential negative effect this decision could have if it’s not approached correctly. It’s important that these advocates stay firm and strong in their willingness to do the right thing. Administrative pressures can hinder progress that a victim undertakes due to the fear of retaliation, but it shouldn’t be an issue‒especially if you have public servants advocating for the same thing. Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Susan Davis, who this summer authored a bill that would require all U.S. colleges and universities that receive federal funding to enact similar measures, praised the CSU in a press release and expressed that others should follow suit. “I hope this trend will continue on university campuses across the nation,” said Representative Davis in the statement. As U.S. president Barack Obama expressed last week through a new initiative, “It’s on Us”. It’s up to us to hold people accountable and not look the other way. Perhaps it is time that we become advocates ourselves and condemn these continuing acts of sexual violence and abuse.

Disappointed in Colton Councilmember

At the 16 Sept. 2014 Colton council meeting, during public comment, I was dismayed to hear some disparaging news about one of our council members. Colton’s representative at the Omni-Trans and IVDA meetings is Councilman Frank Gonzales. It was reported that the councilman was late in attending the last 12 of the 12 Omni-Trans meetings, being so late at one, that the meeting was adjourned as he arrived on Why would a group, the vast majority of whom are not residents of San Bernardino, be spending thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours putting up signs all over town urging San Bernardino voters to reject Measure Q, a repeal of San Bernardino Charter section 186 which sets public safety pay.

The Drought: Because of the severe drought in our state, Governor Brown is asking Californians to do their part by using 20% less water and preventing water waste. The state and our local water departments have some easy to implement water saving tips. For the outdoors, replace grass with drought tolerant landscaping; use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway, sidewalks and patio; and water only late in the evening or early in the morning to minimize water evaporation. For indoor, run your washing machine and dishwasher only when full; check for leaks in the kitchen and bathroom; and when possible replace toilets and appliances with water efficient models. These are just a few tips, your water department will have more and some agencies like the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department offer rebates for qualifying resident to replace toilets

and regulators for outdoor watering systems. Call 384-5141 or visit the website at www.sbcitywater.org for more information.

Education Info: This week the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced that the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) rate for the Class of 2014 was 95.5 percent matching the high rate from last year. The CAHSEE is administered each year in the ten grade and students who do not pass the exam have opportunities in grade eleven and twelve to pass the test. This exam measures competency in reading, writing, and mathematics. Congratulations Class of 2014.

Also this week the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University released a report that is critical of charter school oversight but does offer recommendations to make corrections. The report states that lack of oversight has led to too many cases of fraud and abuse and too little attention to equity. The largest problems are the lack of transparency and having school mangers serve on governing boards.

Words to Think About: The Bible misunderstood By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

he Bible is, without a doubt, the most misunderstood book ever printed. It is not a scientific book or an accurate historical book, even if some try to make it so. It does contain some science and some history, but not much. Most of it was written more than 1900 years ago. The writers saw the world as everyone at that time did. The world was flat. Travel was by foot, slow boat or by donkey. Most people didn’t live beyond forty years. Jesus was an old man at age 33, when he died. Education was limited to a very few. In my opinion, the biggest misunderstanding is in believing the Bible is humorless, joyless and without laughter. Nothing can be further from the truth. To prove my point I will site the Bible itself and Elton Trueblood’s book, “The Humor of Christ.” Laughter is a result not the cause of a humorous event. An absurd event, a ridiculous event, a contradictory event. Or an imaginary humorous event that memory has resurrected from the past. A case of absurdity is evident in the life of Abraham and Sarah. They were told by an angel they would have a baby. He is 100 and she is 90 years old. The absurdity of such an event causes both to laugh. By the way, they name the baby Isaac; which means laughter. The Bible doesn’t always reveal the cause of laughter, only that laughter occurred. In Psalm 126:2, it says, “our mouths were filled with laughter.”

Child psychologists tell us that babies laugh between 20-30 times an hours. It is the result of pleasure, happiness and contentment. It is reasonable then to presume that whenever these emotions are present in all instances by all people, laughter will naturally follow. There are three basic elements, one of which is usually present in humor: absurdity, hyperbole (exaggeration) imagination. Remember the very popular sit-com a few years ago-MR. ED? It was about a talking horse. Absurd to be sure. But it’s right out of the Bible. Numbers, chapter 19. The Scripture is about Balaam and his donkey. The donkey talks and berates Balaam. A laugher to be sure. Absurd? Absolutely. Use your imagination about these stories. Noah and the Ark. Bill Cosby made it great with his interpretation. Imagine all the animals defecating. What a mess. Or Jonah living in the stomach of a great fish. Or a kid (David) stoning a giant with a slingshot and then cutting off his head. There are scores like these in the Bible that are built for laughter. What about Jesus? In the book, “The Humor of Christ,” written by Elton Trueblood, he laments the “widespread failure to recognize and appreciate the humor of Christ.” He further criticizes the admirers of Jesus as well as his critics in his lament. It is important to recognize His use of paradox and irony, along with satire in His humor. Jesus’ use of humor was more in the style of Mort Sahl than that of Bob Hope. At times he was very caustic. Trueblood was stimulated to write the

book after witnessing his young son crack up laughing. “He laughed because he saw how preposterous it was for a man to be concerned about a speck in another’s eye and ignore the beam in his own eye.” His son knew the human eye was not big enough for a beam. It was absurd. The same goes for the ridiculous idea of a man going through the eye of a needle. The “whited sepulchers” jab by Jesus toward the Scribes and Pharisees is extremely humorous. Many of the parables are filled with irony. Trueblood points out the use of hyperbole in many of the miracles: feeding thousands with a boy’s lunch or Peter sinking in the water because he didn’t know where the rocks were. In my view, a great example that Jesus was often humorous and funny was the attraction of children to Him. He demanded that children be allowed to be close to Him. Also an interesting Scripture describes Jesus as fraternizing with low lifes. (publicans and sinners) Also His enemies called Him a “wine-bibber.” That’s like making Jesus an alcoholic. Now use your imagination. Whenever a group of men get together, with a few drinks, they swap stories, humorous ones and laugh uproariously. That’s true in Highland, L.A., New York or Jerusalem. Today, last year or 2000 years ago. These are but a few samples of Jesus’ use of humor. To display Jesus’ serious side and ignore His humorous side is to ignore a large part of the Gospels. Amen Selah. So be it.

California Public Utilities Commission to hold public hearings in Fontana on September 29

8 percent. The July rate hike, which hit below-average users harder than it hit above-average users, who traditionally pay higher rates — could be a sign that SoCal Edison plans on more rate restructuring. The CPUC estimated back in August that three-quarters of Edison customers will see their monthly costs increase by more than $5, while a third of customers will pay

at least $10 more per month. In addition, separate rate changes will affect customers enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy program. Forty percent of these customers will see their energy bills go up more than $5 per month, although most of these customers will face an increase no greater than $10 per month. So Cal Edison’s restructuring plan will cut California’s current

tier structure from four tiers to two. The Tier 1 electricity rate would increase an additional 8.7 percent, meaning customers will pay an additional 16.2 cents per kilowatt-hour by 2018. The current tiers 2, 3, and 4 would be meshed into a single tier that will be billed at 19.5 cents per kilowatthour by 2018. Edison and other big utility companies have justified their proposals by explaining that they will provide more equity among consumers. Edison went as far as to criticize the current four tier system. "There is no cost basis for rate differentials of this magnitude and they produce uneconomic outcomes," the company wrote in the filing. "SCE estimates that there is currently an annual subsidy of over $600 million paid by higherusage to lower-usage residential customers." Meanwhile, environmental advocates say that the changes will seek to discourage customers from going solar and conserving energy, which in turn will lead to the construction of more dirty power plants and decrease generation of local clean energy, such as the use of rooftop solar. “We think that ratepayers are al-

out of state. “When the father and grandparents arrived at our office, we all watched as the little boy ran to his grandma and gave her a big hug,” said Supervising Deputy District

Attorney Denise Trager-Dvorak, who oversees the CAU. “When his father appeared, he ran into his dad’s arms and told him how much he missed him and that he was sorry he hadn’t come back sooner.” According to Deputy DA Kurt Rowley of the CAU, in this case, as in many others, the offending parent or guardian was unaware they were in violation of the court order. In the case above, the young boy’s father filed for full custody after the mother took their child across state lines, denying him of his legal visitation rights. It was only until CAU investigators located the mother was she made aware of the fact, and returned the child without much ado. The term “child abduction” connotes a heinous crime, but Rowley explained that under California law if a person deprives the other party of physical custody it falls under that category. The situations can be as passive as failing to re-

turn a child after a visit, and withholding a child even when the other party is aware of their location. Rowley cites numerous cases where the investigation entailed children being taken across state lines, both into and out of California. The scope of the CAU is not just statewide; its reach is global. International cases have involved investigations of children either taken to or from Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Argentina and Mexico. In cases of international child abduction, the CAU implements the terms of the Hague Convention, an international treaty signed by more than 60 countries. This effort involves a working relationship with the U.S. State Department, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the Attorney General of California in helping to recover children taken to or from foreign lands. The CAU is comprised of a team

he California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will be holding two public participation hearings on Monday September 29 at Fontana city hall at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. that will allow Southern California Edison customers to discuss several proposed changes in electricity rates. CPUC officials have said that they will consider public input before making a decision. The state’s electric utility companies created rate reform proposals earlier this year to meet the goals of Assembly Bill 327. The Ratepayer Equity Act, which was passed in the state legislature last year and became effective as of January, enabled the CPUC to consider changes that will affect the way utility companies charge their customers for electricity. The law has allowed utility companies to spread costs across residential energy users. Southern California Edison customers are already feeling the burden as a result of a hike that took effect in July. The company raised residential electricity rates across the board, with average energy users seeing their bills increase by

ready paying their fair share and we should not be creating a billing structure that discourages the strides we have made in local clean energy and energy efficiency,” said Marta Stoepker, the deputy press secretary for the Sierra Club. Yassamin Kavezade, an organizer with the Sierra Club My Generation Campaign and a student at UC Riverside, believes Inland Empire residents need to recognize the importance of attending these public hearings. Without their input, large utility companies will continue to build “cozy” relationships with CPUC officials, Kavezade said. “The CPUC is an agency that is supposed to mediate the public voice on matters like energy, but instead has established a cozy relationship with large utilities,” she said. “For example, look into the San Bruno case happening right now with Pacific Gas & Electric. The time for testimony is one of the few ways people can let their voices be heard. People can also become part of the process if the CPUC and utilities decide to listen and do the right thing in order to pave a way for local, clean-renewable energy.”

that includes Rowley, DA investigators Karen Cragg and Larry Jackson, and Secretary Bert Mendez. In fiscal year 2013 there was an average of 25 open investigations per month (the high month with 43, and the low 13), and four criminal cases were filed. “The work they do every day is very emotionally-charged, and they continually do their best to ensure that children are safe and that the court’s child custody orders are followed,” said TragerDvorak. “In this situation, it was very rewarding to watch dad, with tears in his eyes, happy to have his son back, and hugging him like he would never let go. I had to fight back tears myself.” Rowley is most proud of the hard work and dedication of his team in resolving cases without escalating the situation, as well as looking out for the best interest of all parties involved, especially the children, with compassion and sensitivity.

Redlands throttled by Linfield College

Redlands defenders tackle Linfield WR Charlie Poppen who scored two touchdowns in the game. By Richard Dawson

he University of Redlands football team has had a tough schedule the first two weeks of the season. One week after being shutout 360 at Mary Hardin-Baylor, the Bulldogs again struggled on both sides of the ball in a 36-3 rout from No. 5 Linfield College at Ted Runner Stadium on Saturday night, September 20. The game was preceded by the annual “Rah Rah Redlands” event but there was not too many cheerful moments once the game started. Linfield (2-0) marched 49 yards over ten plays on its second drive, setting up a third-and-3 from the Redlands 6. The ensuing pass into the end zone was incomplete leading kicker Michael Metter to trot on and convert a 23-yard attempt to put Linfield on the board 3-0 in the first. The Bulldogs looked poise to score on their next possession after quarterback Kevin Russell found Sam Angelo for a 35-yard completion to the Linfield 39 but the drive stalled after that and the Bulldogs had to punt. After that it was all Linfield. The Wildcats got the ball back at the Linfield 17 and needed just five plays to get to the Redlands 3 thanks to a 37-yard completion from Sam Riddle to Evan Peterson. Two plays later, Riddle rushed in from one-yard out to make it 9-0 with 2:22 remaining in the first. Riddle added two passing scores before the half as the Wildcats used drives of 80 and 78 yards to build a 26-0 lead. The Redlands offense struggled to find a rhythm all night, mustering only 156 total yards compared to 559 yards for Linfield. Redlands kicker Sean Murray ended the shutout with a 27-yard field goal in the fourth. Angelo led the Bulldogs air attack with 61 yards on five catches. Redlands will try and right the ship at Pomona-Pitzer on October 4.

rand Terrace got hit with a sledge hammer before it knew what hit happened on Friday night. Nationally ranked Cherry Creek high school of Colorado came to town and dominated from start to finish of a 41-0 non-league rout. The visiting Bruins wasted no time, needing three minutes to score a touchdown on their first drive. Grand Terrace (1-2) got the ball back on the ensuing possession and the first pass by quarterback Ivan Zacarias was intercepted and returned for the defensive score to make it 14-0 with 8:02 left in the first quarter. After a Grand Terrace three-andout, Cherry Creek (2-2) continued the onslaught, this time starting at its own 45. Facing a third-and-9, Joe Caplis found Joseph Parker for a 20-yard completion to the Titans 28. Four plays later, running back Milo Hall scampered into the end zone from 17 yards out to push the lead to 21-0. The Titans struggled to protect Zacarias all night and couldn’t get the running game going against the Bruins stout defensive front. The lead increased to four scores after a six-play, 68-yard drive was capped off with a 2-yard plunge by Cherry Creek running back DJ Luke. A missed extra point attempt kept it 27-0 less than a minute into the second.

One of the bright spots for the Titans was Chris Santoscoy, who picked off two passes, including one backed up against the Titans end zone that he returned to the Bruins 20 on the first possession of the third quarter. Unfortunately, the Titans failed to capitalize on the turnover due to a holding call and a lost fumble which seemed to sum up the night. Grand Terrace will look to right the ship against Alta Loma on September 26.

Honoring Hispanic Heritage Month Mexican Independence Day! M

A Day In History: September 16, 1810 The Mexican War of Independence Begins iguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launches the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or "Cry of Dolores," The revolutionary tract, so-named because it was publicly read by Hidalgo in the town of Dolores, called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land, and racial equality. Thousands of Indians and mestizos flocked to Hidalgo's banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and soon the peasant army was on the march to Mexico City.

In the early 19th century, Napoleon's occupation of Spain led to the outbreak of revolts all across Spanish America. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla--"the father of Mexican independence"-launched the Mexican rebellion with his "Cry of Delores," and his populist army came close to capturing the Mexican capital. Defeated at Calderón in January

1811, he fled north but was captured and executed. He was followed by other peasant leaders, however, such as José María Morelos y Pavón, Mariano Matamoros, and Vicente Guerrero, who all led armies of native and racially mixed revolutionaries against the Spanish and the Royalists.

Ironically, it was the Royalists-made up of Mexicans of Spanish descent and other conservatives-who ultimately brought about independence. In 1820, liberals took power in Spain, and the new government promised reforms to appease the Mexican revolutionaries. In response, Mexican conservatives called for independence as a means of maintaining their privileged position in Mexican society.

In early 1821, Agustín de Iturbide, the leader of the Royalist forces, negotiated the Plan of Iguala with Vicente Guerrero. Under the plan, Mexico would be established as an independent con-

stitutional monarchy, the privileged position of the Catholic Church would be maintained, and Mexicans of Spanish descent would be regarded as equal to pure Spaniards. Mexicans of mixed or pure Indian blood would have lesser rights.

Iturbide defeated the Royalist forces still opposed to independence, and the new Spanish viceroy, lacking money, provisions, and troops, was forced to accept Mexican independence. On August 24, 1821, Spanish Viceroy Juan de O'Donojú signed the Treaty of Córdoba, which approves a plan to make Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy. In 1822, as no Bourbon monarch to rule Mexico had been found, Iturbide was proclaimed the emperor of Mexico. However, his empire was short-lived, and in 1823 republican leaders Santa Anna and Guadalupe Victoria deposed Iturbide and set up a republic, with Guadalupe Victoria as its first president.

Honoring Hispanic Heritage Month Mexican Independence Day! Pete Aguilar Hosts "Meet and Greet" in Recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month

n recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar, Democratic candidate for Congress in California’s 31st district, recently hosted a "Meet and Greet" with Latino community leaders and residents in San Bernardino. Residents of the 31st Congressional district joined Aguilar for a discussion and Q & A on important issues facing middle class families in the Inland Empire. “We are here tonight to fight for a quality education for our kids, a good paying job so that we can buy a home and pay for college, and a secure retirement when that time comes,” Aguilar said. “The choice in this election comes down to moving forward on smart policies

that will grow our middle class, like comprehensive immigration reform and creating jobs by investing in education and infrastructure, or the same old obstructionist mantra from House Republicans that have only hurt our economic recovery.” During the event, several residents expressed concern over Chabot’s approach to funding for critical programs, his lack of a policy agenda to create jobs and his out of touch stance on immigration reform. “I’m concerned that Paul Chabot will be more of the same in Washington,” said George Aguilar (no relation), city of Colton Utilities Commissioner and Candidate for Colton City Council. “I can’t trust

him to go to Congress and work across the aisle to pass immigration reform, create jobs and get things done for the people of our community.” Chabot supports radical policies that are out of touch with the values of the residents of San Bernardino County. He has endorsed anti-immigration policies like Arizona's extreme law that allows law enforcement to stop people at will and detain them without cause and demand proof of citizenship, saying that California should pass a similar law. In addition, while running for California State Assembly in 2010, Chabot’s answer to our state’s budget challenges was to slash all programs by 20% with exception of public safety, drastically cutting funding for education, veterans and seniors. Pete Aguilar is a small business owner and Mayor of Redlands. He is a strong advocate for economic growth and fairness for the middle class in the Inland Empire and a leader who has reached across party lines to serve the best interests of San Bernardino County.

Beers, brats and Bavarian dance among highlights at Redlands Optimist Club’s Oktoberfest

The Frank Rote German Band headlined this year’s Oktoberfest at Sylvan Park. The event was a fundraising effort for the Redlands Optimist Club in support of youth programs and scholarships.

By Yazmin Alvarez

he Redlands Optimist Club held its annual Oktoberfest celebration Saturday at Sylvan Park, offering up a day of fun for the whole family. Festivities included traditional games and plenty of food including authentic German bratwurst

from Gazzolo’s Sausage Co. Restaurant of San Bernardino. Youngsters enjoyed the Chicken Dance, a bounce house and a rock climbing. While German beer was a crowd favorite --this year’s event offered German beers from Munich, as Anheuser-Busch and Stater Bros. were event sponsors -- tunes from

the Frank Rote German band, games and contests kept attendees on their feet. Several tried their hand at Hammerschlagen, a drinking game involving a stump of wood, nails and a small hammer and Cornhole, a bean bag-type toss game. Yodeling, beer stein holding and best lederhosen contests were also part of the festivities. Although attendance was thin during the start, festival goers trickled in later in the day as the weather cooled. Attendance was one thing event organizer and Optimist Club member Bill Jury said was a concern for the fundraiser. Last year, the Optimist Club partnered with Hangar 24 for Oktoberfest, but since breaking away to host the event individually, Jury said, he knew crowds would be slim. But Jury stayed hopeful. “You can’t judge an event on the first hour,” he said. “Plus it’s early, we’re hoping for the best.” Organizers were hoping to raise $10,000 to help meet all ambitions for the year. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Oktoberfest will benefit the community, organizers said, along with efforts to fund youth-oriented programs and scholarships for local students.

Homeless youth find sanctuary, support, unconditional love at YouthHope

PHOTO COURTESY/YOUTHHOPE

Non-profit, Redlands-based organization YouthHope relies solely on private donations, fundraisers and grant writing. Pictured here is a recent donation of backpacks in time for the new school year. YouthHope has already seen over 900 homeless youth this year, and serves 40 – 60 on a regular basis.

By MJ Duncan

here exists a running trail upon which our local homeless youth travel that originates in Redlands and takes them to Venice Beach, San Francisco and ends in either Portland, OR or Seattle, WA, at which point they become lost on the radar before they disappear into the ominous world of human trafficking, drugs and murder. One local resident has worked earnestly to prevent homeless youth from embarking upon that treacherous trek by offering unconditional love, support, and direction that has successfully kept them from leaving the area. Heidi Mayer, executive director and founder of the Redlands-based, non-profit organization YouthHope and resident of Yucaipa, has dedicated her efforts in offering guidance and encouragement to homeless youth since 2009. According to Mayer her life changed when she accompanied her youngest son on a church mission to San Francisco to offer support to homeless youth. It was at Golden Gate Park where she met Winter, a teenage girl who had been living on the streets for so long she couldn’t recall her age. Mayer remembered telling Winter that hers was a pretty name, which evoked a smile from the teenager who shared she had never heard that before. “When I embraced her, at that moment my life changed,” Mayer recalled about the experience, and regretted that she had believed in the stigma attached to homeless people. “How dare I judge people before knowing them. Winter changed my heart and that’s when I knew I wanted to stop kids from struggling. They are the most honest, kindest, real people you’ll ever meet.” Though Mayer’s non-profit is situated in Redlands, she serves homeless youth throughout the Inland Empire. According to Mayer, there are 1,400 homeless youth just in the Redlands Unified School District in 7th – 12th grade and over 3,000 in K – 12; in Colton there are over 5,000 homeless students in K-12. A fraction of those actually live on the streets, while the majority “couch surf” or

sleep in their cars. “We’re here to tell them that they don’t have to run, that there are other options than the streets, which are tough,” Mayer said. “We tell them that together we’ll figure it out, and my main goal is to keep them in this area because the more they run the more they’re (susceptible to) rape, trafficking and drugs.” Mayer feels lucky that since the onset of YouthHope only three or four youth have actually left. The drop-in center located at 1175 W. Redlands Blvd. is under construction, but volunteers and Mayer provide food to 40 – 60 youth each day in the parking lot, and have already seen over 900 homeless youth this year. The center is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3 – 6 p.m. When construction is complete it will be accessible five days a week, with the ultimate goal of being open seven days. “We love our kids unconditionally,” Mayer said about herself, two staff members, and the hundreds of volunteers. “There is no judgment made. Be real, honest, love and accept them.” Though she doesn’t condone drug or alcohol use, Mayer said she will never turn away a homeless youth who is high. There are two rules at the drop-in center, which serves as a

safe haven: No fighting and no selling/sharing of drugs or alcohol. The YouthHope community is a tight-knit family, who recently lost one of their own – Marcus, 17, who attended Redlands East Valley and was to be the first in his family to graduate from high school, was shot and killed in cold blood last week. Marcus was a mainstay at the drop-in center, the first to arrive and last to leave, and always with an enthusiastic desire to help where needed. According to Mayer they are all devastated by the tragedy and held a memorial service for Marcus at the drop-in center for the YouthHope family to mourn, support each other in their grief and to bid their farewells. Education is a top priority for Mayer, who believes that without a GED or high school diploma employment opportunities are bleak. YouthHope offers its own GED program, as well as counseling on the youth’s future. Mayer and her volunteers help youth enroll in college or trade schools, and as a result numerous former homeless youth served by YouthHope have gone on to graduate from college and become successful contributors to society. Additionally, YouthHope provides free medical, dental and optometric care; job training; prepared meals and food pantry program; clothing and hygiene items; and one-on-one case management services. All services are free. Bus passes to transport youth to school are also provided, which costs $41 for minors under 18 for the month. “Omnitrans raised its fares, and that’s over $3,000 at the end of the year to get kids to school,” Mayer relayed. “I know they’re going to school because they show me their homework, tests, quizzes, not just the class schedule.” Mayer, who does not receive any pay from the organization, relies solely upon private donations, fundraisers and grant writing. Currently youth are congregating in the parking lot of the facility, even in blistering three-digit temperatures. The facility still needs insulation and dry wall, and the black top needs to be pulled out and replaced with cement, with 33 percent landscape. For more information on YouthHope, or to donate or volunteer, please call Heidi Mayer at (909) 633-4543 or visit www.youthhope.org.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this 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.

Sinfonia Mexicana presents "Recuerdos"

infonia Mexicana's “Recuerdos” Dia de los Muertos Concert, celebrates Mexico's most colorful and magical holiday by honoring the legacies of Mexico's most beloved artists-the singers and composers, the music of Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, Javier Solis, Rocio Durcal, Lola Beltran and others who forged the modern mariachi tradition-and celebrating the lives of our loved ones who are no longer with us. The performance is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 7:30 PM and will feature Maestro Jeff Nevin and Mariachi Garibaldi, Sinfonia Mexicana Mariachi Youth Academy with Vocalist/Violinist Angie Villela and Ballet Folklorico Flores del Desierto EI Dia de Los Muertos is one of the biggest holidays in Mexico and celebrations are becoming more common in areas of the United States, with a large Hispanic population. Its origins are distinctly Mexican. During the time of the Aztecs, a month long summer celebration was overseen by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, the Lady of the Dead. After the Aztecs were conquered by Spain and Catholicism became the dominant religion, the customs became intertwined with the Christian commemoration of All Saints' Day. Specifics of the celebration vary with region, but one of the most common customs is the making of elaborate altars to welcome departed spirits home. Vigils are held and families often go to cemeteries to fix up the graves of their departed relatives. Dr. Jeff Nevin Jeff Nevin, Ph.D., is a professional classical trumpet player, mariachi trumpeter and soloist, a conductor specializing in the interpretation of Mexican music, and an award winning composer whose works have been performed by the San Diego, Colorado, Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Pasadena, San Bernardino, Key West, East Texas, Santa Rosa, Desert, Idaho Falls, Baja California and La Jolla Symphonies, as well as

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, Sol de Mexico and many other ensembles. Together with Mariachi Champana Nevin, has established a reputation for presenting the highest quality classical and mariachi music performed with the mariachi ensemble alone, soloing with symphony orchestras, and appearing with world-renown singers including Placido Domingo, Aida Cuevas, Fernando de la Mora, Jorge LopezYanez, Jose Luis Duval, Monica Abrego and others. In addition to numerous performances in the US and Mexico. Mariachi Garibaldi: Mariachi Garibaldi is the performing ensemble from Southwestern College, the first school in the world to offer a college degree in mariachi music. Students study mariachi performance, music theory, instrumental and vocal technique, mariachi history, as well as general education requirements. Former students have moved on to receive Bachelor's and Master’s degrees in Music, perform mariachi professionally, and they are beginning to fill the great need for mariachi teachers that exists across the US today. Mariachi Garibaldi has performed countless engagements in and around San Diego including several national education conferences. They have been featured in both American and Mexican national news broadcasts, including a prominent role in the documentary “In the Name of Mariachi Music” which details the impact the US is having on the history and future of mariachi. Mariachi Garibaldi’s concerts at Southwestern College consistently sell out. They have traveled to perform for the famed “Encuentro de Mariachi” in Guadalajara nearly every year since 2002, and they have recently performed in Brazil (2014), Russia (2012 & 2009), France (2012 & 2010), and China (2010). Their newest CD “Un canto por el mundo” was inspired by their world travels and features music they performed on 4 continents. They also recorded a 2-CD set “Mariachis Garibaldi” in 2009, and

their version of “Hotel California” was featured on the recording “Mariachi Rock-O” along with Mariachi Vargas, Sol de Mexico, and others. Sinfonia Mexicana Mariachi Youth Academy: Sinfonia Mexicana of San Bernardino established the Mariachi Youth Academy in February 2009 at the Sturges Theatre for the Performing Arts as an opportunity for area youth to learn and perform Mariachi music and to give them an understanding of its origins and cultural significance.
