Colton Fire continues tradition of ‘making children smile’

round 50 students roamed the toy department at Walmart on Tuesday to pick out their own Christmas gifts, courtesy of the Colton Fire Department.

This is the 22nd year the department helps put on the “Make A Child Smile” event with the help of the Colton Joint Unified School District.

Coordinating the shopping spree has become an easy and special event to organize annually, Colton Fire Captain and Public Information Officer Tom DeBellis revealed.

“To see the smile on the kids’ faces is heartwarming,” said DeBellis.

Students from Alice Birney, Cooley Ranch, Grant, McKinley, and Wilson Elementary Schools arrived at the department store around 9 a.m. They were given $100 by firefighters to select bicycles, trading cards, and clothing of their choosing.

Many of the children are experiencing economic hardship, explained CJUSD Smile, cont. on pg. 2

Aside from attending events, residents are encouraged to share items that celebrate the diverse art forms and cultures of Guatemala through social media.

Wanda Nowell, one of the individuals helping to coordinate Guatemalan Arts events, said their efforts are helping local Guatemalans find comfort and recollect memories of their past in the motherland.

There have many tears of joy and happiness as a result of people reconnecting with their roots,” said Nowell, who is of Guatemalan descent. “We hope that people will carry the mission of the project on.”

Fernando Yac, 22, of Temecula

admitted he learned about the event at the very last minute, but was happy to hear he would have the chance to share his art work with other Guatemalans.

“The atmosphere here has been nice,” Yac said. “It’s been pleasing to connect with other Guatemalans that live in the Inland Empire. It’s been a beautiful experience finding common ground.”

Fernando Revalo of Rialto said he’s glad there are events being organized specifically for Guatemalans and other Central Americans.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a diverse event like this about our country,” he said in Spanish. “It’s a magnificent experience.”

Nowell hopes she could entice other ethnic groups to learn about Guatemalan culture.

“We're open to sharing our culture with anyone who wants to learn.”

Let’s do something to r esolve bullying in schools

Anthony Victoria

“I felt my knees weaken,” my mom exclaimed, as she spoke about the tragic death of 13-yearold Rosalie Avila. “Some people just don’t have heart.”

And even after the passing of Avila, classmates continued to spout abusing comments towards the Avila family--poking fun at her burial proceedings.

There’s also the story of Ashawnty Davis. The 10-year-old had finally stood up to her bullies and was beat up because of it.

After the video of the fight went viral on social media, Davis hung herself on November 16. Why didn’t people stop the fight, instead of recording it?

The latest cases of bullying make any decent person’s blood boil out of pain, frustration, and anger. However, what have we done to ensure bullying is addressed posthaste?

Nothing, it seems.

Despite Avila and Davis enduring years of hardship through bullying, school administrators only provided occasional talking points to reassure their support for the families, while promising solutions. In the end, two families are enduring the tragedy of loss, while perpetrators continue to inflict abuse at other school children.

Once again, in the midst of a crisis, there are no concrete solu-

YOUR COMMUNITY COMMENTARY!

tions. Unfortunately, bullying is becoming commonplace across communities in America.

According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, one out of every five (20.8%) students report being bullied. In addition, the percentages of individuals who have experienced cyberbullying at some point in their lifetimes have nearly doubled (18% to 34%) from 2007 to 2016.

The Center for Disease Control has proven that students who experience bullying are at increased risk for poor school adjustment, sleep difficulties, anxiety, and depression. Sadly, only 36 percent of students report issues with bullying--leaving 64 percent of students without any kind of support.

One way communities could prevent bullying is by addressing the issue head on. While some cases require strict disciplinary action (i.e. criminal apprehension and punishment), most incidents could be resolved by school administrators, teachers, and parents. It’s important to observe bullying behavior and take note of behavioral changes among victims. When this occurs, it should be handled immediately, rather than later.

While the aforementioned approach sounds easy and trite, it produces favorable outcomes.

Studies have indicated that 57 percent of bullying incidents are quelled when someone intervenes. Moreover, school-based bullying prevention programs have decreased bullying by up to 25 percent.

The underlying issue with bullying, I believe, is addressing what perpetrators (bullies) are experiencing at home or around their communities. Children behavioral problems are built up by experiences of negligence, abuse, and hardship within their own families. If a child has access to an adult role model at school or at home, they could receive the proper guidance necessary to develop healthy relationships.

Just what the doctor ordered

hile the Republican Congress remains paralyzed over how to repeal and replace Obamacare, recent activity among two of the healthcare industry’s largest players could signal a new approach to delivering access to affordable healthcare.

CVS, the nation’s largest pharmacy chain, recently announced that it is acquiring Aetna, one of the nation’s largest insurers, for a reported $69 billion. This move has the potential to redraw the lines of the U.S. healthcare map and serve as a new model for the delivery and management of care.

The proposed merger is a result of two major factors. Since 2015, when the insurance industry and millions of Americans began to feel the true impact of Obamacare in the form of massive financial losses and skyrocketing premiums, the healthcare debate has centered on how to “fix” the current system. How’s that working out? In addition, the rumblings of Amazon’s potential entry into the drug wholesale market has reverberated within the healthcare industry like the footsteps of a giant just over the horizon.

The CVS-Aetna merger offers a paradigm shift in how to think about achieving the major goals

There’s no easy answer to resolving bullying. But as educators, community leaders, parents, and peers, we need to do something. Otherwise, we’re doomed to lose more young minds.

The combined power of CVSAetna could also help address one of the largest cost-drivers in the healthcare system: prescription drugs. The two companies have been working together on this front for several years with CVS’s Express Scripts, a Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM), providing prescription drug services to Aetna members. Combined, the newly formed company could potentially be in a better negotiating position with the pharmaceutical industry to lower costs of many prescription drugs.

A final factor underlying the proposed merger’s impact on healthcare is the potential for

streamlined sharing of patient data and information. Bettering communication between provider, patient, and insurer could lead to lower costs and Aetna and CVS already possess sophisticated patient information platforms. If these platforms can be integrated such that it is easier and more efficient for patients to coordinate follow-up care or access preventative care services, the cost implications could be dramatic.

The Obama administration had long resisted consolidation in the healthcare market, blocking or scaling back previously proposed mergers between Aetna and Humana as well as Anthem and Cigna, and Walgreens and Rite-Aid. It is unclear whether the current administration will be open to such a significant change in the healthcare landscape. Given the inaction of Congress on healthcare reform, however, the CVS-Aetna merger may be just what the doctor ordered.

of healthcare: access and affordability. In the proposed merger, CVS, with close to 10,000 stores in the United States, could become a one-stop-shop for basic healthcare services. This could include non-emergency services, preventative screenings and immunizations, prescription drugs, and chronic disease counseling.

Some of these services are already available at CVS through its Minute-Clinic store formats, found in approximately 10% of CVS locations. From Aetna’s perspective, the merger makes it easier and potentially cheaper for its clients to access care as well as obtain prescription and overthe-counter medication.

Dr. Bill Abersold

loria Macias Harrison.

She is as she has been for a long time, a celebrity.

Not just in San Bernardino but throughout Southern California.

She has also been appointed to statewide committees by the Governor.

Gloria’s five feet stature belies her influential stature. Her achievements in education, business and the rights of minorities transcend all but a few others.

I place her in the pantheon with Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar

Chavez and George Brown - her brother-in-law. Brown was married to her sister.

She was President of Crafton College for twelve years; a publicschool teacher for twenty years; and she and her husband, Bill Harrison, co-publishers of several newspapers.

When asked what one word best describes her, Gloria responded with the word, ACTIVE. Her published history of activities verifies her assessment of herself.

From my research, very little information is available about the person of Gloria Macias Harrison.

She is a pure Chicano. The word defines a Mexican that is born in the United States and has a Hispanic heritage.

In regards to her activity I think a paraphrase of one of James Baldwin’s favorite statements is relevant. “The challenge of living is to be present in everything you do or experience; from getting up in the morning, to going to bed at night.”

It epitomizes the essence of Gloria’s personality.

When Wayne Harp was a young man, prior to his becoming a policeman, he enrolled in a Spanish class in which Gloria was the teacher.

He remembers her well. She also remembers Wayne. He speaks of her with enthusiasm.

“She was an excellent teacher and made Spanish understandable. She was always in charge of the class. She was always extremely helpful to any student that was having trouble with the language. Including myself.”

Several years later, after he was a trained policeman, he felt a need to be more fluent in Spanish so he attended an advanced class with Gloria.

“She had not changed,” he said.

“She was thorough, well prepared and interesting.” Wayne is now retired, but he remembers Gloria with admiration.

Gloria and Bill have been married for fifty-two years. In describing their relationship, Gloria says, “Bill is a Greek and I’m a Roman.” That metaphor suggests that Bill has the ideas and logic of

the Greeks. Which she carries them out with decisive action.

Their affection is obvious.

When it comes to religion, Gloria is skeptical of the organization.

The structure is far from its origins. She identifies herself as “more Buddhist.” I assume she refers to its fundamental beliefs.

This is probably the basis for her vegetarian views. Other views are: pain is a part of life, human cravings are the source of pain, the fewer cravings we have leads to Nirvana.

Gloria is also in love with Barcelona, Spain. She knows the history of Spain thoroughly, including its dominance by the Moors. They ruled Spain for 800 years.

Charles Roberts, editor and friend, voices strong appreciation for Gloria’s talents. He enumerated them to me, “An outstanding leader, a great representative for all minorities, efficient politician, a successful business woman, and extremely efficient educator.”

Gloria is acquainted with emotional pain. Her life was guided by

an uncle and a grandmother. They guided her and demanded perfection from her in all of life. The death of Diana - her daughter last June was and is painful. How does she deal with it? “Impermanence” is a Buddhist concept.

As the publisher, Gloria is the owner, with Bill her husband.

Maryjoy Duncan is the editor of the papers I write for. Maryjoy knows Gloria very well. She respects Gloria’s academics and especially her community activities.

Along with her serious side, she says, “I have come to realize that she is quite funny and feisty. She is an example of true grit, loyalty, and class.”

In conclusion I quote a statement attributed to Gloria. “I never forget my roots. My heritage is vital for me, along with education and family.”

I share these words with Maryjoy, “With the community I place her in high esteem.”

Amen. Selah. So be it.

winds.

The relocation, however, did not affect the excitement; College of Extended Learning Dean Tatiana Karmanova, who served as the event’s master of ceremonies, gave a warm welcome and introduced several university officials who gave enthusiastic speeches about the upcoming building. In addition, campus and community members sported construction hats and shovels for a traditional groundbreaking picture, only this time, it was taken in front of a portable box of dirt.

CGI, which was unanimously approved by the California State University Board of Trustees and is expected to open by fall 2019, will be home to the College of Extended Learning, including all international student programs.

According to Karmanova, CGI will provide a more centralized location for international students, where they can better assimilate with the general student population.

“The Center for Global Innovation will augment the instructional needs and administrative operations for the college and greatly contribute to this university’s international student programs,” said CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales, a strong advocate for study abroad programs. “As the name indicates, one of its primary goals is to centralize services provided to our international student populations — those who are visiting as well as those matriculating here.

“At CSUSB, we seek to prepare our students for successful integration into the global marketplace,” he said. “Along with equipping professionals who can work across cultural boundaries, we endeavor to help our graduates thrive in a multicultural society.”

At $55 million and 71,000 square feet, directly connected to Coyote Walk by a large outdoor shaded plaza, CGI will be a threestory classroom and administrative office building that includes 24 classrooms designed to accommodate collaborative learning, reconfigurable multi-purpose rooms and casual study lounges. CGI will also include a 250-seat audi-

torium, retail food services, and opportunities for indoor and outdoor hosting of special programs on the third floor terrace, the exterior plaza and the large global gallery with a featured video wall.

CGI will serve as the centerpiece to the central core of campus, enriching student and academic life.

“It will result in increased visibility for the college and enhanced access to services and campus life for those who work and learn there,” said Morales. “The center will also contribute much-needed instructional space within the university hub.”

Douglas R. Freer, CSUSB vice president for administration and finance, noted that in addition to focusing on what is going to be on the inside of the new building, the development team also “spent a lot of time on what the experience is going to be outside the building.”

The lighted stair tower on the north side of the building will serve for way-finding to the center of campus, offering improved pedestrian access not only to CGI, but also the library, student union and food services.

“It’s a beautiful project for this campus,” Freer said.

Sustainable building features will include extensive use of natural lighting and ventilation, energy efficient LED lighting with smart lighting controls, water efficient plumbing fixtures, and glazed windows.

The CGI project joins an aggressive physical expansion plan to the CSUSB campus, joining the ongoing construction of 164,000 square feet of new residence halls and a dining complex (opening fall 2018) and a recently studentapproved 100,000 square feet expansion of the San Manuel Student Union (scheduled to open fall 2021).

The CGI building will be located north of the library, south of parking Lot N, east of the College of Education building and west of the Physical Sciences building.

Facilities Planning, Design and Construction will separately communicate to the campus community impacts to roads, parking and pedestrian access paths.

SBCTA, transportation partners celebrate completion of Downtown San Bernardino Passenger Rail Project

Bernardino and Inland Empire/Orange County lines will be extended one mile from the Santa Fe Depot to the recently completed San Bernardino Transit Center (SBTC). Serving as a key, multi-modal transportation hub, SBTC links a variety of transportation options including several Omnitrans local routes, the sbX Green Line, and neighboring transit agencies: Pass Transit, Mountain Transit, and Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA). In addition, Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) connections will begin in January 2018.

CJUSD Pathways to Success Series: H.E.A.L. Academy

Teacher Dawna Hughes with student volunteers at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

he Health Education and Leadership (H.E.A.L.) Academy at Colton High School prepares students for careers in the healthcare field by providing the academic knowledge and physical and technical skills they will need to be successful.

The H.E.A.L. Academy is just one of the many career exploration opportunities the Colton Joint Unified School District offers students. In addition to the Linked Learning Pathways -which integrate aspects of designated career pathways into all academic courses taken by students enrolled in that pathway -CJUSD also offers 23 Career Technical Education course sequences in a vast selection of fields. Examples include cyber security, automotive and the new STEAM (Science, Technology, Art and Mathematics) shop. These

opportunities are offered in partnership with the Colton, Redlands and Yucaipa Regional Occupational Program (CRYROP).

Approximately 200 students are currently enrolled in the H.E.A.L. Academy. As with other Linked Learning Pathways, elements of the profession are woven through academic courses taken by students. They also gain meaningful hands-on experiences. At the Colton High School Sports Medicine Clinic, for example, students practice everything from medical front office procedures to helping to bandage injured athletes.

Volunteer opportunities at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, San Bernardino Medical Center and Reche Canyon Rehabilitation Center, also help prepare students for their future careers.

The CHS H.E.A.L Academy also hosted Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training

CJUSD

in cooperation with Grand Terrace High School, offering students essential triage, first aid and emergency skills. Upon completion of the training, students earned Teen CERT certification.

And, students participate in cross-curricular projects, known as work-based learning, focused on medical careers. Ninth-grade H.E.A.L. Academy students, for example, participated in a crime scene simulation exercise in which they had to make observations and collect and analyze evidence at the “scene.” Tenth grade students will be holding a health fair in the near future.

Teacher Dawna Hughes said students who participate in the pathway have an advantage as they progress toward their goals.

“They already know what things are and can talk and write in the language of medicine,” Hughes said. “It gives them a good foun-

dation and shows them the expectations,” she said.

Students also can earn college credits for some of the courses, Hughes added.

Another benefit to the H.E.A.L. academy is that it exposes students to the wide variety of career opportunities available in the healthcare field.

Jocelyn Larios, 16, for example, discovered that she wanted to be a pharmacist after visiting a program at San Bernardino Valley College on an academy field trip her freshman year.

“I found it really interesting,” she said.

Jazmine Vasquez, 16, plans to pursue a career as a pediatrician or child life specialist, a healthcare professional who helps hospitalized children to cope with medical procedures.

The H.E.A.L. Academy is helping her on the path toward her goals, she said.

“It not only teaches me the medical basics, but also it helps me to get ready for medical school.”

How you can help:

You can support the H.E.A.L. Pathway in many ways, including:

• Serve as a guest speaker • Provide volunteer opportunities • Serve as an advisory board member • Provide field trip opportunities • Provide donations of supplies for the sports clinic such as wrapping tape, disposable gloves, display boards, poster board, dry erase markers, and other typical classroom supplies.

he Third Annual “No Shave” November event concluded on November 30th with over $ 12,000 raised for cancer research. Several officers and employees of the San Bernardino Police Department and several staff members and students of Loma Lindy University Health participated in this year's “No Shave” November fundraiser, which benefited the Loma Linda

University Cancer Center. This “No Shave” event not only raised funds, but equally as important, to raise awareness.

The SBPD commissioned a special “pink badge” and a “pink uniform patch” that were made available for sale to employees, and could be used on their uniforms last month. A “Challenge Coin” was also commissioned and made available for sale. One of the newer patrol vehicles was also decorated with the symbolic “pink ribbon” logo. All the proceeds

from the sale of the items were donated to cancer research.

During the conclusion of the event, men’s beards and women’s hairy legs were judged in various categories. Judges for the “beard awards” were San Bernardino City Mayor Carey Davis, San Bernardino Assistant Police Chief Eric McBride, Dr. Richard Hart Executive Vice President and CEO, Kerry Heinrich Executive Vice President of Hospital Affairs.

The event took place at the Loma Linda University Health

Judges for the Beard Awards were San Bernardino City Mayor Carey Davis, San Bernardino Assistant Police Chief Eric McBride, Dr. Richard Hart LLU Executive Vice President and CEO, and Kerry Heinrich Executive Vice President of Hospital Affairs.

San Bernardino Campus; fourteen participants from the San Bernardino Police Department came to be part of the judging for the “bearded contest”, including 2 female officers who did not shave their legs for a month! Several others took part in this fundraiser, however their duties prevented them from attending the judging portion of the event.

This year’s beard winners went to Det. Sayer for “Best Beard”, Sgt. Verbanic for “Grayest Beard”, Officer Devlin for “Ugliest Beard”, Officer Schuelke for “Best Mustache”, and Lieutenant Vicky Cervantes for the “Hairiest

Legs”.

Loma Linda University Health had thirteen participants to have their beards judged. The winners from Loma Linda University Health were Paulo Periera for “Best Mustache”, Mark Hubbard for “Fullest Beard”, and DP Harris for the “Greatest Beard”.

Several barbers from various shops in the area donated their time to provide free shaves to any of the officers or hospital staff members who wanted one. Both ladies politely declined, but at least 10 gentlemen accepted the offer.

Trustor(s): Jose Alfonso Rodriguez-Macias, a married man, as his sole and separate property Recorded: 7/27/2006 as Instrument No. 20060508635 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN BERNARDINO County, California; Date of Sale: 1/9/2018 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the North West Entrance in the Courtyard of the Chino Municipal Court, located at 13260 Central Avenue, Chino, CA 91710 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $423,855.60 The purported property address is: 971 GRAND AVENUE, COLTON, CA 92324 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0274131-39-0-000 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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-16-757803-CL. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

If no street address or other designation is common 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.
