n New Year’s Eve Tuesday, December 31, during the late afternoon hours, several hundred people gathered in the parking lot in front of the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda to take part

in The Unforgettables Foundation’s “20th Annual Light for Little Lives Memorial Walk”. There was a brief opening ceremony that included a welcome and introduction by the Unforgettable’s Founder Chaplain Timothy Evans and several others who also wel-

comed the participants. At sunset, parents who have lost a child in 2019 released a dove into the sky. A larger dove release followed, as all the doves took flight and gathered above the spectators into one flock encircling the area for several

minutes before making their way home. A presentation to the mothers was made where dozens of red roses were placed on a little red wagon by everyone who had suffered a loss of a child. Carlos Pastrano (12) from Memorial, cont. on next pg.

n December, two city of Colton employees, Victor Ortiz and Dawn Miller, were recognized by city council for completing a degree in higher education. “We have two employees who completed college degrees, while working full time. As someone who did the same thing, I understand the amount of work and commitment that goes into this; I think it’s a big deal,” said City Manager Bill Smith. “Both employees were able to utilize the city’s education reimbursement program; it’s a great benefit and we encourage our employees to take advantage of this program. I do not think either employee was excited to be recognized, but I appreciate both of them for being here and indulging us,” concluded Smith. Degrees, cont. on next pg.

Colton Area Museum to feature the Conquistador s By Dr. G (Luis S. Gonzalez)

n Saturday, January 11, at 2:30 p.m., the Colton Area Museum Association (CAMA) guest speaker program will feature former President of the Colton Conquistadors Club, Mr. Robert Franco Melchor. Born and raised in Colton, Melchor has made it a life-long goal to promote and perpetuate the memory of this South Colton youth organization. Mr. Robert Franco Melchor was a member since its inception in the 1950’s, and served in various capacities, including club President until it formally disbanded in 1978. It was formed as a youth club and drew its “teenage” mem-

bership mostly from the South Colton area. When Mr. Melchor started, he was in junior high school, as were many of the original members. The main purpose of the organization was twofold: first, to be law-abiding and provide a group “protective” support system, especially for the Mexican-American youths who were often bullied and intimidated by older male youths; and second, to become active in the Colton community, such as selling cans to raise money for member families who needed financial help. In addition, the Conquistadors often came together to help individual members with personal problems, big or small. For the members, it was “all for one

and one for all.” Today, the Conquistadors meet on a monthly basis, including original members, friends, and invited guests. Although the original purpose is a historical by-line, the guys still enjoy sharing old stories, and according to current president, Robert Sanchez, “the brotherhood is still there.”

The Closing Blessing was given by Rabbi Hillel Cohn, Pastor Etchell, Rev. Ray Turner, and Pastor Randy Roberts. The mission of The Unforgettables Foundation is to enable lowincome families to give their children a dignified burial, to empower communities to memorialize children who have died, to educate parents and children’s caregivers to confront, control and conquer the primary risk to our children’s health and wholeness, and to encourage communities to recognize the financial trauma which is often associated with the death of a child.

Stan Morrison officiated the Family Candle Lighting and Remembrance ceremony where each parent came forth, lit a candle and uttered their child’s name.

“Tonight we take this opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate two staff members that have successfully completed their degrees while balancing family and work life. Attending college continuously is a difficult achievement,” said Haydee Sainz, Human Resources Director.

“The attainment of your respective degrees proves that you are a model and motivation to many you should be proud of yourself. Now you will have many opportunities coming your way and I am confident that you will make the most of your education and reach new heights of success in the future,” continued Sainz. The first employee recognized earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Dawn Miller, executive assistant to the

city manager. The second employee recognized earned a master’s degree in leadership and organizational studies, Victor Ortiz, the city engineer. “I just want to say… the success to obtain goals is achieved through effort, determination and perseverance. You have both achieved it, enjoy your success and have fun. Congratulations!” concluded Sainz.

I send them prayers and words of encouragement. Prayer is the answer to bring our current leaders in alignment with our creatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will. That is what our founding fathers were called to do. The first meeting in Congress held by our founders was 7 hrs of prayer and reading the LORDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S word. They do this in the W.H. now. We need to hold our leaders in California accountable like in our LORDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S word Heb 4:13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from GODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before HIM to whom we are held to account. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold each other to account then we have chaos like California is in now. The taking over of public schools teaching our children pornography so Planned Parenthood can make more blood money off abortion. We have 18% poverty, highest homeless rate, feces, urine and used needles from addicts in our inner cities everywhere. Highest sex trafficking from Hollywood and San Francisco. We are the sex traffic state in the nation. We must make our leaders see weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy with their failed leadership or things will get worse. We are forced to pay for abortion in our

healthcare premiums and morning after pills are now going to be paid for by us through our health insurance on all our college campuses. Planned Parenthood is opening up 50 clinics in LA high schools. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any part of this. I should not have to pay for services I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in due to my faith. You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t either if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in such heinous acts. Arizona and other states donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use any taxpayer money or sneak it in the health premiums money for abortions. Many other states follow same rule. If you want to have an abortion it should be something you pay for out of your own pocket. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s unconstitutional to make someone pay for or participate in anything they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. We are looking more like a socialist state each and everyday. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to end up like Venezuela 9/10 in poverty. Most citizens are diving into dumpsters for their food. No healthcare available many seniors and chronically ill dying like California. But here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of assisted suicide which is sickening too. Once a society determines who should live or die then that society is doomed to be victims of genocide. Keep getting involved for the sake of our children and their children for generations to come. LETS TAKE BACK CALIFORNIA! MAKE HER THE SHINING CITY ON THE HILL FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE! Be Blessed, Susie ( A concerned citizen)

IE residents, stakeholders encouraged to provide input on Connect SoCal during public comment period

ess than a month remains for the public to provide input on a draft version of Connect SoCal, the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy for the six counties and 191 cities that make up the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The 25-year plan identifies $638.6 billion in transportation improvements for the region as a whole, including $87.4 billion specific to the Inland Empire. The public is encouraged to weigh in on the plan during the formal comment period, which runs through 5 p.m. on January 24. A comment form is available onat line https://www.connectsocal.org/Pag es/Connect-SoCal-Comment-System.aspx. Comments also can be sent to the attention of the Connect SoCal Team at SCAG, 900 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700, Los Angeles, CA 90017. In addition, workshops are planned throughout January to brief elected officials on the plan. A complete schedule of those workshops is available at: https://www.connectsocal.org/Pag es/Upcoming-Events.aspx SCAG planners spent four years analyzing data and working with local communities to develop Connect SoCal – a regional strat-

egy to improve mobility, meet airquality goals, create economic opportunities and enhance quality of life. Among the more than 2,000 Inland Empire projects included in the plan are the development of an east-west multimodal transportation corridor from Hemet to Corona/Lake Elsinore ($2.4 billion), the Mid-County Parkway between Interstate 215 and State Route 79 ($1.7 billion), and ExpressLanes along Interstate 10 from Redlands to the Los Angeles County line ($1.2 billion). Other major IE projects include: o Express Lanes along Interstate 15 in Riverside County from Cajalco Road to State Route 79 ($544 million) and from State Route 60 to Hidden Valley Parkway to Cajalco Road ($490 million) o Express Lanes along State Route 60 in Riverside County from the Route 91/60/215 inter-

“Making sure these kinds of projects are funded and built is critical to the future of our two counties and Southern California as a whole, connecting communities, creating new business opportunities and ensuring we can handle the growth that will continue to come our way,” said Clint Lorimore, an Eastvale City Counchange to Gilman Springs ($508 cilmember and Second Vice Presmillion) ident of SCAG. o Express Lanes along Interstate 15 in San Bernardino County from State Route 210 to Duncan Canyon Road ($477 million) and from U.S. 395 to the High Desert Corridor ($195 million o Bus replacements throughout the Riverside Transit Authority service area ($328 million) o A new interchange at Interstate 10 and State Route 60 in Riverside County ($282 million) o The Redlands Passenger Rail Project ($292 million) o The West Valley Connector bus rapid transit project in San Bernardino County ($222 million) A complete list of projects throughout the six-county region can be found at: https://www.connectsocal.org/Documents/Draft/d ConnectSoCal_Project-List.pdf

San Ber nardino County Homeless Point-In-Time Count and Sur vey

n Jan. 23, field teams of volunteers will canvass all of the county’s cities, towns and unincorporated communities in an effort to count, survey and assist the county’s homeless population. Volunteers will include members of the public, community groups, County employees, homeless service providers, and private-sector stakeholders. Volunteers who are able to engage with homeless individuals will ask specific survey questions, offer hygiene kits, and provide information on who to contact for homeless services.

specifically for the San Bernardino County PITC. Volunteers will need to have an Internetwork Operating System (IOS-Apple) or Android “smart” phone in order to conduct the survey.

Data collected during the PointIn Time Count (PITC) is critical to effective strategic planning and is the main source of data used by the federal government to track the number, demographics and needs of people experiencing homelessness throughout the county. These numbers are also used to determine federal funding allocations to address homelessness.

The annual PITC, coordinated by the San Bernardino Office of Homeless Services (OHS) in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP), is designed to obtain an estimated number of homeless individuals and families in San Bernardino County on a given day and to discover their specific needs.

For the second year, volunteers will conduct the entire unsheltered Point-In-Time Count by use of a web-based application designed

Individuals and organizations are invited to volunteer to participate in the PITC, which will be conducted on Thursday, Jan. 23, from

6 to 10 a.m. throughout San Bernardino County. For more information or to register as a volunteer, please visit www.sbcounty.gov/dbh/sbchp . If you have questions regarding the count call the OHS at (909) 3868297 or email Claudia Doyle at claudia.doyle@dbh.sbcounty.gov. The OHS works to develop countywide public and private partnerships and to coordinate services and resources to end homelessness in San Bernardino County. Through this, OHS is helping to achieve the Countywide Vision by working to create a sustainable system of community health, public safety, and housing. Information on the Countywide Vision and OHS can be found at www.sbcounty.gov.

muter delays, improving health outcomes and generating, for the IE alone, about 94,000 jobs – directly and indirectly – each year. Across Southern California, the 25-year plan would net a 22.8% reduction in daily miles driven per capita, more than 360,000 jobs created per year and a return of $1.54 for every $1 spent on transportation improvements. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution for our regional transportation challenges. We have to explore an integrated web of creative strategies, which is what Connect SoCal sets out to do,” said Bill Jahn, a Big Bear Lake City Councilmember and President of SCAG.

Connect SoCal projects that the Inland Empire will see its population grow by more than a third over the next quarter century, from about 4.5 million now to more than 6 million by 2045 – far and away the fastest rate of expansion in the six-county region. During that year, the IE also is expected to expand its role as an international trade gateway, requiring an investment in infrastructure that facilitates the movement of both people and goods.

Following the public comment period, a final version of Connect SoCal is expected to be presented to SCAG’s Regional Council for approval in early 2020.

The return on investment would be significant – reducing com-

State of the County set for Febr uar y 5

n February 5, 2020, San Bernardino County will hold its Regional Business Summit and State of the County titled Vision 2020. During the event, the County will celebrate how much has changed over the last decade across the region as well as look at the business innovators, places and people who will influence the next 10 years. Each year more than 1,000 business, government and community leaders come together to hear from the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, gain insight from top business leaders, and experience impact-oriented business development and networking. Some of the highlights to be shared will be key data points that demonstrate impact of the County’s growth on the local and regional economy and the long term effects of the Countywide Vision. In the fall of 2010, the San

Bernardino County Board of Supervisors engaged its residents, businesses, nonprofits, and other agencies in the creation of a Countywide Vision, a vision for the future. Since its adoption, the Countywide Vision has been a catalyst for collaborative solutions to critical issues such as public safety, housing, education, technology and more. Vision 2020 will be an opportunity to share some of these successes. The event will also profile business leaders from ReRubber, Connect Homes, East Valley Water District, High Desert Training Center, Haven City Market and SBCTA who will share their thoughts on critical issues such as workforce training, transportation, and innovation among other topics. The event will be held at the Toyota Arena, located at 4000 Ontario Center in Ontario, CA, with registration for the main event beginning at 4:30 pm.

Words to Think About: Measure of success erences that describe a life that could easily be defined as being successful.

For example, Micah 6:8 “What does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

here is one word that reflects universal admiration. Success. He or she is a SUCCESS. Money-Bill Gates. Politics-Nancy Pelosi. Business-Jimmy Carter. A good person-Jimmy Carter. Sports-Lebron James. T.V.-Ellen DeGeneres. Talk Show-Mika and Joe. Admired-Michelle Obama. Actresses-Goldie Hawn. PastorJoel Osteen. ETC. I’m sure you can make your own list of successful people. While the list I’ve given are all alive; the list of men and women that were successful in the past is beyond measure. The question that is most pressing is simple. What is the criteria for being successful? Amazingly, the King James Version of the Bible, mentions “success” only one time. Joshua 1:8. However, there are scores of ref-

That’s a pretty good standard for success-mundane as it sounds. At Robert Kennedy’s funeral, his brother described him: “He loved life and lived it intensely.” Success. Another view. “The challenge of living is to be present in everything you do.” Success. James Baldwin. Elizabeth Barrett Browning gave a great description of success. “Earth’s crammed with heaven and every common bush aflame with God; but only those who see (success) take off their shoes, the rest sit around plucking black berries.” I’m a sports devotee. Most of them. But what always inspires me is when a player turns to the T.V. and says something like, “I love you, Mom.” 0r “I owe it all to you, Mom.” He or she was acknowledging success. He voiced all of his success to his mother. Think of Thomas Edison; a dyslexic. Yet, no one has ever been more successful as an inven-

tor than him. A victim of a severe handicap.

Abraham Lincoln is revered as a great President. Yet, from what we know of him reveals his emotional bipolar problems. In no way did he succumb to his problems. In my opinion, one of the greatest heroes we Americans have ever had was John McCain. His political positions can be set aside. His patriotism is without question. He was a genuine hero. He was captured by the Vietnamese and endured unbelievable torture for seven years. He could have been released, but refused it until all Americans were released. His story is well known. Helen Keller is often ignored and her story is little known today. Born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, she died on June 1, 1968 in Easton, Connecticut at age 88. Her birth name was Helen Adams Keller and 5 feet 7 inches tall. Seldom has any human person been so severely handicapped. At age one (1) plus seven months, she was stricken with a virulent childhood disease which resulted in complete loss of her sight and her hearing. Her parents diligently sought for

help for Helen, to no result.

The following paragraphs are verbatim from Eileen Berdon’s biography of Helen Keller. “Finally, when Keller was seven, Annie Sullivan, a young teacher, was hired by the family. Through a system involving a constant physical contact with Sullivan, a touch alphabet ‘spelled’ into Keller's hand, persistence, faith, and love - detailed in The Miracle Worker- (1962). Keller suddenly and amazingly understood; she quickly and efficiently learned language, and the world opened to her. She asked to be taught to speak at the age of ten. With Sullivan's important emotional and intellectual support, Keller's development took off. Keller graduated - cum laude - from Radcliffe College in 1904. Sullivan was her companion until her death in 1936. Helen Keller wrote prolifically, traveled

widely, lectured on various personal, political, and academic topics, and was awarded numerous honorary degrees from universities around the world. She died in 1968, one of the most famous and widely-admired women of our time.” In my research for this article I ran across the following. I don’t know who wrote it.

“SUCCESS IS MEASURED NOT SO MUCH BY THE POSITION THAT ONE HAS REACHED, BUT RATHER BY HOW MANY OBSTACLES ONE HAS HAD TO OVERCOME TO SUCCEED. THE SIZE OF YOUR SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY THE STRENGTH OF YOUR DESIRE; THE SIZE OF YOUR DREAM; AND HOW YOU HANDLE DISAPPOINTMENT ALONG THE WAY.” Amen. Selah. So be it.

2019 Caden's Teddy Bear s for Kids Bear-y Successful

PHOTO CADEN CENTER

476 bears were collected during Caden Henderson’s 3rd annual Teddy Bears for Kids drive to benefit pediatric patients at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. Pictured is Caden Henderson in the LLUCH lobby prior to distribution. By Caden Henderson

hank you to everyone who participated in this year's teddy bear drive benefitting Loma Linda University Children's Hospital! 476 bears were donated this year, crushing our original goal of 250. This brings the combined total of bears raised from all three years of the drive to 1,170! Bears were passed out to patients and their families during the week of Christmas. As a former patient of the LLUCH, I hope the gift of a bear brightens their days. Thank you to all of the local

businesses who were bear drop off locations: LLUCH Foundation office, Paulson Orthodontics, Star Tulip Stuffies House of Fine Stuffed Animals, Rau Plastic Surgery, Rendition Tattoo, Redlands Elks Lodge, Energy Lab, and Dance Move Live (Redlands and Highland locations). I would like like to thank Phyllis Kates of PK Design who creates our digital flyer every year, and caricature artist Darlene Douthit who created a caricature for this year's logo. With new businesses added every year, it gets trickier to drop off boxes and pick up bears. Thank you to my grandparents, Robert and Mary Sheehan for their help with this, as well as my mom, dad and sister who helped us on drop

off day.

During the drive this year, we were contacted by Jay Mast of Regent Association Management in Orange County. Mr. Mast had heard about our bear drive and wanted to help. His company and employees donated 180 bears to the drive! This was so touching and really made a difference in hitting and exceeding our goal for this year. Thank you to Mr. Mast and employees! Caden Henderson is our youngest contributing writer, writing stories from a variety of topics on a biweekly basis. Have a story idea? Email Caden at Caden_center@aolc.om.

The 3-year total of bears collected is 1,170!

T.S. No. 19-58072 APN: 0274-131-11-0-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 12/5/2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU CONTACT A SHOULD LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: LINO C BLANCARTE, A MARRIED MAN Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust recorded 12/14/2005, as Instrument No. 2005-0949268, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of San Bernardino County, California, Date of Sale:2/3/2020 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: Near the front steps leading up to the City of Chino Civic Center, 13220 Central Avenue Chino, CA

91710 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $206,662.09 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 860 WALNUT CV COLTON, California 92324-1938 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 0274-131-11-0-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 19-58072. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

San Ber nardino Symphony Orchestra to perfor m a tribute to Dr. Mar tin Luther King, Jr.

n honor of the birthdate of Dr. Martin Luther King and the region’s unique contributions to the American civil rights movement, the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra has prepared a tribute concert to be performed January 18, 2020 at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts.

“This concert is going to move our audience and reach out and touch their soul. The music is brilliant and powerful” said Symphony Board President Dean McVay, adding “That’s what this live symphonic experience is all about - transporting our audience to new and different places and experiences, and having them walk out of the concert hall having been moved and inspired in ways they had not considered before.” Inclusive of powerhouse vocalists Jacob Lusk, Lettrice Lawrence, Bradley Baker, and the Selah Gospel Choir, an accompanied by narrative from local education leader Dr. Margaret Hill, the concert will include electrifying renditions of anthems, hymns, and spirituals including Wade in the Water, Strange Fruit, Free at Last, City Called Heaven, and Lift Every Voice and Sing.

“Our MLK tribute will be one of the most inspiring concerts this orchestra has even mounted,” said Symphony Music Director and Conductor Anthony Parnther. “We have imported nationally regarded talent to our region to pull off a very ambitious program and these are the kinds of soulful performers who will bring the house down.” In addition, the Symphony will be performing the West Coast premiere of three-time Emmy awardwinning composer John Wineglass’s “Unburied, Unmourned, Unmarked.” Making its premier in February of 2019 in Pittsburg, this classical symphonic work takes history off the shelves and onto the concert hall as a modern and AfricanAmerican inspired take on a classic requiem in the spirit of Verdi, Mozart, Faure, and Britten. It mourns the souls of the enslaved Africans who died on Lowcountry rice plantations in the U.S., their bodies unburied, their suffering unmourned, and their sacrifices unmarked for future generations. Added Parnther, “At a time when our country is feeling rather di-

vided, the San Bernardino Symphony is working to unite and uplift or community through impactful storytelling, revisiting history, and embracing hope for the future.”

cluding money saving “Second Chance Season” tickets and a “Select Three” options - are currently on sale and may be purchased at www.sanbernardinosymphony.org

A March 15 matinee will highlight works by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Grieg, including a solo performance of Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto by Maestro Parnther. The season will close May 2 with From Stage to Screen, a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood with movie scores from Bernard Hermann and a tribute to Judy Garland by Emmy-nominated vocalist Angela Ingersoll.
