Two yea r s a ft er f a tal ca r acci den t, A p ar ici o Fami l y still seeks answers, closure By Rodolfo Ortega

uly 14, 2017 the Aparicio Family would be altered forever - Sofia and her two sons, Jose Jr. and Moises, received the devastating news that her husband Jose Aparicio, while on his way home from work, was killed on impact by a semi-truck that struck the driver’s side of Jose’s 1999 grey Chevy Silverado truck at the intersection of Baseline and Eucalyptus in Rialto near their home. Shortly after the collision occurred Evangaline, Sofia’s sister, happened to drive by the same intersection and recognized Jose’s vehicle; she drove directly to Jose’s house where his two sons were and brought them to the scene of the accident. Jose Jr., just 17 at the time, wouldn’t let anyCloset Middle School, will be open from 9 AM – Noon on Thursday, Aug. 1. The resource centers also will be open monthly throughout the year (see schedule below). The clothing resource centers offer families an opportunity to shop in a store-like atmosphere where they may choose from a wide variety of items. Each family is able to choose two outfits per child. Clothing featured in the centers has been generously donated by CJUSD staff and members of the community. Donated items are then laundered by students in the Special Education Department’s Transitional Opportunity Program (TOP) for adult special needs students aged 18-22 at Colton High School. The Community Closet West at ROHMS is maintained by CJUSD Community Liaisons and the students and staff with the ROHMS Special Education program. “The resource centers are a great opportunity for our families to expand their children’s wardrobes,” stated Karla Viramontes, Student Services Supervisor and District Homeless/Foster Liaison. “Clothing is a basic need for all and finding nice pieces of clothing your child can use at no cost is a great convenience available to all of our Solutions “I’m able to provide homeless with showers, food and connect them with services around the county and surrounding areas. I’m connected with Set Free, Victory Outreach, Teen Challenge, and the Salvation Army,” said Garcia. He says that it takes a village of people to unite together to assist in solving the homeless problem and he’s just one small piece of it. “Not only do I take my mobile shower unit to different locations, when direct services aren't available, Mobile Hand Up Solutions provides referrals and information on shelters, meals, jobs, clothing, domestic violence, sober living facilities, felon friendly organizations, and other sources in the Colton, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange

one near Jose’s truck and was the only one to witness his father’s lifeless body. Jose Jr. called his mother, who was still at work, to inform her Jose had been involved in an accident, not inclined to deliver the tragic news until she was safely at home.

It’s reported that a Caucasian male driving a late model white Nissan Dodson was allegedly at the scene and may have witnessed how the crash happened (shown in sketch). The individual was last seen talking with other pedestrians after the accident then soon left the scene; it is believed that he lives in the Rialto area.

As pedestrians crowded the scene, Officers Keetle and Deschepper, along with bystanders, scrambled to find any witnesses to the crash. Two years to the date of Jose’s untimely death, Sofia, Jose Jr. and Moises held a press conference on Sunday, July 14 asking for the community’s help in uncovering the truth of what happened that fateful day.

Closet West:

The resource centers are now at capacity with adult sized clothing and toddler/infant clothing. There is a need for children and youth sized clothing (Sizes 4-16). Donations of youth-sized clothing only is being accepted at the District’s Hermosa Center, 325 Hermosa Ave. in Colton.

TOP Closet – Room 558, Colton High School (Please enter off Dortha Cooley Lane due to construction)

The resource centers have been so popular that the CJUSD Student Services team has begun working with other departments to bring even more offerings. A Prom Dress Shoppe was added last spring to provide dresses to students in need of formal wear for prom or other special occasions. And, a Career Ready Closet is being assembled at the CJUSD Adult School for adult and high school students preparing for job interviews. “Every child should feel confident and comfortable at school,” Viramontes said. “Clothing should be the last of their concerns. The District and our community come together with generous donations to ensure our Clothing Closets are always stocked and ready to serve our kids.” Below is the 2019-20 schedule for TOP Closet and Community County areas,” continued Garcia. Garcia also shared how homeless come in different variances and are affected at different stages in life. “I recently assisted an elderly couple, who were both receiving dialysis, they rented a home for many, many years in San Bernardino County. One day the landlord told them he was going to sell the home and they were left homeless because they were living on a fixed income and couldn’t afford to pay rent in the area,” Garcia said. After living in and out of their car for a number of weeks, they lived in motels for about five months before relocating to Yucca Valley where they could afford the rent. “That elderly couple in particu-

Sofia Aparicio and her two sons Moises, left, and Jose Jr. held a press conference two years to the day their husband and father, Jose Aparicio, was killed in a car accident not far from their home in Rialto. They are beseeching the Rialto and neighboring communities to come forward with any information that might help solve this hit-and-run case so they may finally get some peace and closure to the tragedy that has forever altered their lives. Despite body cams and a few testimonies nothing substantial has been able to move the investigation forward. Conflicting statements of the incident have only delayed the process. Private investigator Armando Zatarain took on the case with the assistance of Attorney Rob Damone. “We want closure, we want to know what happened,” Sofia said. Jose was a nurturer, a provider, a husband and a father that was taken too early. While nothing can fill the void of his absence, the

Aparicio’s have shown great strength and character over the past two years. Jose Jr. graduated from high school last year and Moises will be starting high school in a couple of weeks. Sofia continues on dayto-day, emotionally supporting her sons, and still coping with the loss. If anyone has any information about the accident, they are urged to call Investigator Armando Zatarain at (949) 383-0300 or Attorney Rob Damone at (562) 9833130. Any information will help the Aparicio’s find the peace, truth and closure they are yearning for.

lar, is just one example of how long waiting lists for shelters and assistance leaves people displaced. Also, that couple tried to obtain services from many organizations, but did not meet the criteria to identify themselves as homeless because they were newly displaced,” said Garcia. He says these factors alone are reasons why he wants to continue providing immediate services to homeless in and around his community. “In the past year I’ve been able to assist over 200 homeless in the region and I hope to gain assistance to expand and continue doing this for many years to come.,” concluded Garcia.

Good news! The Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hispanic -- 84% Mexican American and almost 40 percent of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population - is leaving poverty and being educated. How? By graduating instead of dropping out of school, by flooding into California colleges and by solid free enterprise entry into the California marketplace with new businesses. So says a July 9 report from the California Latino Economic Institute titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State of Latino Economic Well-being in Californiaâ&#x20AC;? authored by Mindy S. Romero Ph.D. of the University of Southern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (USC) Sol Price School of Public Policy. Sol Price, by the way, hired this writer 57 years ago after my first foray into political campaign work. He touched almost every American by founding The Price Club, now known as COSTCO. Pew Research published a demographic profile of the California Hispanic in 2014 mostly based on the 2010 Census. The report builds on Pewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. 2014 Pew Report: 15 million California Hispanics, 84% of which were of Mexican origin, 12,600,000. U.S. born - 64%. Hispanic/Latinos other than Mexican, 16% U.S. born. Median household annual income: 2010 Hispanic, $52,147--2017 $56,151, 2017 Non-Hispanic White, however, $83,682; non-Hispanic Black, $48,559. In the past decade, the report shows California Latino poverty has dropped 5.5% from 23% to 17.2%. Regionally, the disparity between Latinos and non-Latino White poverty rates are 7.5% in the Bay Area, 10.8% in Los Angeles, San Diego 9.3%; the worst, exactly where we might expect, in the rural farm country where low income farm workers predominate, the San Joaquin Valley, 14.8%. Nevertheless, poverty is lessening. On home ownership, however, there is a remarkable difference between the lowest income, highest poverty area, the San Joaquin Valley with 47.3% of Hispanics owning homes and Los Angeles with 44% and San Diego with its astronomical home prices, 39.8%. Despite poverty (17%) almost double that of Whites (9%) and lower across the board income, 38.1% of all California Hispanics are in what the report defines as middle income between $65,794 and $158,504; Blacks 39.1%, Asians, 41% and 41.4% of nonLatino Whites are higher. Where Latinos fall short is in the upper in-

come levels where only 7.4% earn more than $158,000. Of course, the better educated a group is, the more income earned. California Latino graduation rates have improved substantially since 2010 when 68.1% graduated from high school -- 80.5% graduated in 2016. Also improving is the share of those graduates that are eligible for University of California and California State University (CSU) entrance as freshmen. In 2000, 21.5% of Latino graduates qualified for UC/CSU; that jumped 18% in 2017, 39.4%. The most gain was among Latina women with 43.1% qualified and men 30.8%. CSU has 400,000 plus students, 40 percent of which are Hispanic/Latino. Between 2000 and 2017, earned four-year college degrees doubled among Hispanics; two, four-year and graduate degrees totaled 18% and those with â&#x20AC;&#x153;someâ&#x20AC;? college were 19% for a total of 37% of Hispanic adults with one or more years of college. Consider what famed economist Thomas Sowell wrote in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethnic Americaâ&#x20AC;? - the average 1950 California Mexican American had only eight years of school in 1950, the current numbers are better than good, they are remarkable. Taken in their totality, these numbers from the California Latino Economic Institute document significant progress for the largest population cohort in California, the predominantly Mexican-origin Hispanic/Latino community. Of all California workers, 37% are Hispanic/Latino, of all business firms in California, 800,000 - 25% - are Hispanic/Latinoowned. Between 2007, through the worst recession in memory and until 2012, the number of Hispanic/Latino businesses grew 43.9% while all other California business numbers grew by only 5%. The report concludes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Latinos in the state have made large gains over the last decade...e.g. decreases in poverty rates; increases in college enrollment, high school graduation rates and the percentage of UC/CSU eligible; as well as great growth in entrepreneurship.â&#x20AC;? Yes, many problems exist for Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 million-plus Hispanics, but free enterprise entrepreneurs who prefer to work for themselves and an army of people graduating from high school and attending college are pulling the 15 million into a state of being unimagined when the average Mexican American in California had an 8th grade education - when I was nine years old. Contreras is the author of THE MEXICAN BORDER: IMMIGRATION, WAR AND A TRILLION DOLLARS IN TRADE and WHITE ANGLO-SAXON PROTESTANTS (WASPS) & MEXICANS; he formerly wrote for the New American News Service of the New York Times Syndicate

Social Media - Too Much? How Much?

ocial media is just like mom's apple pie, it's not good to eat a whole pie every day. Over three billion people are social media users worldwide. While social media helps keep the world connected, social media addiction is becoming a global problem that keeps growing. As of 2018, one third of the global population used social media. Internet and social media addictions continue to grow as our dependence on technology increases. Over 210 million people suffer from internet and social media addictions worldwide. A 2018 study found that teens who spend 5 hours per day using their phones were almost twice as likely to exhibit depressive symptoms than counterparts who dedicated only one hour on their phones. The relationship between excessive mobile use and depression appears to be strongly inked to gender with 58% more females than males experiencing depressive symptoms. A recent study containing over 23,500 participants between the ages of 16 and 88 found that being a young single female was most strongly as-

rump rally participants chanted about Ilhan Omar: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Send her back! Send her back!â&#x20AC;? They are shameless so I feel shame for them. Antifa bullies punched Andy Ngo, a conservative journalist in my town, Portland, Oregon. They are shameless so I feel shame for them. All of us have done shameful things in our lives, though not everyone seems to feel shame. Those who do not are sometimes diagnosed as psychopaths or sociopaths. Those who chanted at the North Carolina rally may well be capable of feeling shame as individuals, but clearly they lack it as a mob. To single out a nonviolent Somali refugee woman who fled brutality and tribal violence, a woman who naturalized to US citizenship with all that implies (just the first of her oaths to defend the US and its Constitution), a woman who participates in her newfound democracy so effectively she was elected to represent Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5thDistrict as a United States member of Congress. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my hometown, Minneapolis, and the district she represents is 67 percent white. I know the people, including many Scandinavian immigrants whose people came to the US in the 1880s or thereabouts. When I grew up there were more Swedes in Minneapolis than in any city in the world except Stockholm. My house on Longfellow (yes, named for the poet who rhapsodized about the shores of Gitchii Guumii, the Shining Big Sea Water) was near what we called Snoose Boulevard. The town is white. Somalis fled there as war refugees, from the hot Horn of Africa to freezing Minnesota, and I recall the first illdressed-for-it Somali women trying to survive there. I shivered in my expedition-weight gear and

sociated with displaying addictive social media behavior. Addictive social media behavior was also strongly related to narcissistic personality traits and low self-esteem. Social media addiction doesn't just affect behavior during the day; it even damages the ability to sleep. A study found that 71% of Americans sleep with or next to a mobile device. Some 47 million people in America do not get enough sleep and 55% more teens were sleep deprived in 2015 than in 1991. Exposure to screens before bed is a large factor in exacerbating sleep disorders. Thirty-five percent of people using phones less than average experienced sleep difficulty compared to 42% of those with average or above average phone usage. Forty-five percent of people check social media instead of sleeping and roughly 10% of teens check their phones more ten 10 times per night. Fifty percent of people driving are checking social media. 90% of drivers admit to using smartphones behind the wheel. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each day

Words to Think About: Utilitarian use of humor lish rapport with humor.

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

never cease to be amazed at the utilitarian use of humor. It is used in every conceivable way possible and in every conceivable circumstance. Two men were stranded on a deserted island. The first man bemoaned their fate. The second man responded with the comment: “Don’t worry I make $100,000 per week.” This scenario repeated itself for several successive days. In frustration the first man finally says, “Why do you keep saying that when we’re stranded on this island?” The second man responds, “Well, I do make $100,000 per week and I’m also a tithing man. I give ten percent of my income to the church each week, and I’m sure the minister will find me.” Humor is used to convey ideas and to provide motivation. Its usage is also a great icebreaker. Public speakers constantly estab-

Perhaps the most viable use of humor is entertainment. Comedians and sit-down comics provide ample evidence of this. I first heard this story years ago but more recently from Charley Prose in Laughlin. An elderly man was celebrating his 100th birthday and was complimented on his athletic and healthy appearance. When asked the secret, he said, “My wife and I were married 75 years ago. On our wedding night we made a solemn pledge. Whenever we had a fight, the one who was proved wrong would go outside and take a walk. I’ve spent a lot of time in the open air and have walked a lot.” Humor can also be used for relaxing. In times of stress watch a funny movie, read a joke or listen to one. Don told this story. A certain Indian chief had two sons. One named Running Water and the other Falling Rock. One day he called them and gave them a mission to go out into the world for adventure and to seek certain things. After many years, Running Water returned and was honored. Falling Rock did not return but everyone- particularly those living in the mountains was told to “Look out for Falling Rock.” “Humor can often have a “bite”. Dan Rickles made a lucrative

business for himself. All of us seem to enjoy this type of humor—unless we are the object of it. A certain tour group was out shopping and came to a stall selling brains. A sign said, “Women’s brains for sale, $25.00 a pound; men’s brains $100.00 per pound.” When asked the reason for the disparity in prices, they were told. “The men’s brains have not been used.” A similar scenario with a different punch line goes like this; “Have you ever considered how many men it takes to get a pound of brains? “I’ve used this last one when doing standup comedy and being hassled by someone. I find out his or her vocation and they get the hint. A preacher found a dead mule in the churchyard and called the police. He was referred to the health department, which in turn sent him to the sanitation department. They could not pick up the dead mule without authorization from the Mayor. The preacher was not eager to call him; the mayor was ill tempered and hard to deal with. The preacher called him anyway. The mayor ranted and raved at the pastor and finally said, “Why did you call me anyway? Isn’t it your job to bury the dead?” With a great deal of patience and insight he replied, “Yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always like

to notify the next of kin first.” Did you know when the white man arrived in Australia, he named the strange looking animal that hopped around the Kangaroo. It was so named because when

they asked the Aboriginals what it was, they said, “Kangaroo.” It wasn’t until many years the white man learned the word kangaroo meant, “I don’t know.” Amen. Selah. So be it.

Urgent Care available to veterans

A implemented the MISSION Act on June 6. But one of the lesser known provisions of the law established a new urgent care benefit that allows eligible Veterans access to urgent and walk-in care at participating clinics in their communities. This is a giant step forward in terms of convenience for our patients, as eligible Veterans do not need to get prior authorization from VA to visit an urgent care provider in VA’s network. This urgent care benefit is meant to give Veterans a convenient way to get treatment for minor injuries and illnesses such as colds, strep throat and pink eye. To be eligible for urgent and walk-in care, Veterans must be enrolled in the VA health care system and have received care through VA from either a VA or community provider within the past 24 months. In our area, the following urgent

care clinics are participating: Concentra Urgent Care: • 599 Inland Center Dr Ste 105 San Bernardino, CA 92408, 866944-6046; • 850 E Washington St Colton, CA 92324, 866-944-6046; Premire Urgent Care Centers of California: • 284 E Highland Ave San Bernardino, CA 92404, 909-8831098.

Redlands Passenger R ail Project br eaks g round, f u t u r e o f f a s t e r, c l e a n e r t r a n s p o r t a t i o n By Rodolfo Ortega

esidents of San Bernardino County were introduced to the future of accessible and cleaner transportation during the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) groundbreaking event of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project on Friday, July 19 on the corner of Third St. and Stuart Ave. The rail connection will run nine miles between the University of Redlands and the San Bernardino Transit Center, a multi-modal transit hub that provides passengers access to all cities heading west. Once completed the Redlands Passenger Rail Project will house the Arrow Commuter Line featuring low-emission trains that will be converted to zero-emission vehicles, the first of its kind in North America. Darcy McNaboe, President of SBCTA led the panel for the Railway project event, and explained the process and challenges overcome to get the project afloat. The many contributors who helped make this dream come to fruition were acknowledged, including Rep. Pete Aguilar who secured major funding. With over $8 million invested in the Railway proj-

The Redlands Passenger Rail Project broke ground on Friday, July 19. Below Rep. Pete Aguilar and Redlands Mayor Pro Tem Denise Davis. ect, the idea of more efficient and clean transportation was able to gain speed in the right direction.

“We’re thrilled to move the Redlands Passenger Rail Project one step closer to reality with the start of construction.” said Darcy McNaboe, President of SBCTA. “This project will be a game changer for public transit in San Bernardino County and throughout our region. When finished, this system will represent an important clean-air transit solution in one of the most challenged air-quality basins in the country.” With the Mainline construction

finally underway, Redlands is preparing to be regarded as a destination point for festivities and culture to newcomers and current residents.

“Redlands is on the cusp of a renaissance,” declared Redlands Mayor Paul Foster “Within three years there will be a vibrant new development in phase 2 of the Packing House District.” The Arrow Line will be the bridge that connects communities together to participate in existing and new experiences Redlands has to offer. The Arrow System is expected to be operational by 2021.

Reminder not to leave children in hot cars

he San Bernardino Police Department is reminding the public to be mindful of not leaving children in hot vehicles, as temperatures reach the triple digits this week. The inside of a vehicle is much warmer than it is outside, increasing the risk of heat stroke for children left inside for even short periods of time.

Mental Health Spotlight

How to help a relative with their anxieties and depression By Stan Popovich

o you know a friend or loved one who suffers from fear, anxiety, and depression and do not know what to do? It can be frustrating to watch someone you know suffer and not be able to help them. Here are six ways to help the person cope in these kinds of situations and the best way to deal with anxiety. 1.Learn as much as you can in managing anxiety and depression: There are many books and information that will educate you on how to deal with fear and anxiety. Share this information with the person who is struggling with their mental health issues. 2. Be understanding and patient with the person struggling with their fears: Dealing with depression and anxiety can be difficult for the person so do not add more

problems than what is already there. Do not get into arguments with the person who is having a difficult time with their anxieties. 3.Talk to the person instead of talking at them: It is important not to lecture the person who is struggling with anxiety and depression. Talk to the person about their issues without being rude. Most people will listen if you approach them in a proper manner. 4. Get Help: Seek help from a professional who can help your friend or relative with their mental health struggles. A counselor can give you advice and ideas on how to overcome anxiety, fear, and depression. Getting help from a professional is the number one priority in helping your loved one deal with fear and anxiety. Joining a local mental health support group can also be helpful. Talk to your doctor to get more information about potential groups in your area.

5. Talk to the person on what will happen if they do not get help: Another way to convince the person who is struggling with fear and depression is to tell them what may happen if they don’t get some assistance. Anxiety and depression can make things worse and usually it won’t go away by itself without some kind of treatment. 6. Find Out The Reasons Why The Person Won’t Get Help: Address the issues on why the person will not get the necessary help. Many people who are struggling are fearful and frustrated. Try to find out the reasons why he or she won’t get the help they need and then try to find ways that will overcome their resistance of seeking assistance. Stan Popovich is the author of “A Layman’s Guide to Managing Fear”. For more free mental health advice visit Stan’s website at http://www.managingfear.com/

Outside of crashes, vehicular heatstroke is the leading cause of vehicle-related deaths among children. It is why the San Bernardino Police Department is reminding parents, babysitters and anyone who cares for children to avoid leaving them alone in a hot car. Last year, 52 children were killed as a result of being left in a hot car, a 21% increase from 2017 and the highest number in more than 20 years. More than half of all vehicle-related heatstroke deaths in children are caused when a parent or caregiver forgets they are in the car. The temperature inside of a car can rise nearly 20 degrees in just 10 minutes and children are more prone to heatstroke because their body temperatures rise much faster than adults. Whether your child is fussy and doesn’t want to leave the car or is

sleeping, it is important that you take them with you, even in temperatures under 80 degrees, because the inside of a car can reach triple digits in half an hour. To avoid tragedy and a lifetime of pain, the San Bernardino Police Department is encouraging parents and others who care for children to take extra precautions to make sure a child is not left in the back seat or gets into a hot car: • Make it a habit to look before your leave and lock the car. Put a stuffed animal, purse, phone or wallet next to the car seat as a reminder. • Always lock your car and keep the keys out of the reach of children. Teach your child that a car is not a play area. If you see a child in a hot vehicle that appears to be in pain or unresponsive, call 911 immediately. Try to find the parents or notify businesses in the area to use a PA system to alert the car owner.

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The FAA is the lead federal agency to ensure compliance with NEPA for airport development actions. The Draft EA has also been prepared in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, and FAA Order 5050.4B, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions. The Draft EA includes an analysis of reasonable alternatives, potential environmental impacts, and mitigation measures, as appropriate. The Draft EA also includes a Draft General Conformity Determination for the proposed improvements associated with the Proposed Action. A separate draft General Conformity Determination for the proposed project has been prepared and is being made available for public review under Section 176(c) of the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1536 the FAA gives notice that the FAA has determined the Proposed Action will have no effect on the San Bernardino kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami parvus [SBKR]), Santa Ana woollystar, and Santa Ana sucker (Catostomus santaanae) that are located on or near the airport. Further, FAA has also determined there are no primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the SBKR within the defined Action Area surveyed to be considered similar to critical habitat, and the Action Area is separated from the critical habitat corridor by the Airport taxiways and runway. There is no proposed or designated critical habitat for either of these species in the Detailed Study Area, as described in the Draft EA. Since the proposed project does not affect any federally listed species or designated critical habitat, there is no requirement for formal Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the Proposed Project. FAA provides notice pursuant to 36 C.F.R.§ 800.8(c) that it is using the NEPA process to notify the public of FAA's finding that the proposed undertaking will not affect any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
