Arianna’s compassion lives on thr ough # A riS t r on g Fo u n da t io n

t is said that ‘Everyone grieves in their own way and at their own pace.’ For anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one this statement certainly tells the truth.

For the Villalobos family of Colton, tragedy struck on October 1, 2019 when their 15year-old daughter Arianna (Ari) passed away from a brain tumor.

“We had many, many intimate talks,” shared her mother Nikki Villalobos, “She told me she wanted to help people, she wanted to start an organization to help people. I told her, ‘let’s get through this treatment, we’ll make a difference and help people.’”

But Ari didn’t make it through the last treatment and Villalobos says, “It’s so awful, coming home to an empty room. From the depths of the darkness we feel, from the still, silent darkness, with her foundation, we are seeing hope in the name of Jesus.” #Aristrong, cont. on next pg.

aturday December 14th, 2019 marked the 11th Annual Seeds of Hope Toy Donation for the children of Colton. Held each year at Leno’s Rico Tacos at 549 West Valley Boulevard in Colton, the toy donation reaches out to local families in need of some Christmas magic to make their children’s holiday a little bit more special.

Headed and organized by Gloria Gaona of Seeds of Hope, this event gave toys to over 400 children. Gaona takes applications for donations to families starting in October each year, and in early December the families are given their invitation to come and pick up the presents at an appointed time on the day of the event.

Each family that shows up is treated to a visit with Santa, free Hope, cont. on next pg.

Page A2 • December 26, 2019 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers • Colton Courier #Aristrong The Villalobos family donated Ari’s organs and immediately many people were helped through the process. “We’ve been told by Stanford that her tumor is still growing in a lab there, and her donation will make a tremendous impact in helping others suffering from brain tumors,” said Villalobos, “from her death, we are seeing the promise of new life.”

In keeping with her daughter’s wishes, Villalobos founded a nonprofit group that she named #Aristrong and began to work right away to provide comfort and hope for other families primarily in the Colton area.

“Our motto is Bringing Hope to Hurting Hearts,” she said, “and honestly, it’s exhausting. I miss Ari. But then I see people and hear their circumstances, and I know she would want us to help.”

Villalobos had read about a teenager who had been bullied at school and reached out to the family to help with whatever they needed. As the outreach pro-

gressed, #Aristrong volunteers ended up transforming the family home with a makeover that included new paint in each room, new furniture, a desk for homework, bookshelves, a television and for the family involved, their very first Christmas tree.

“We will also be following up with the family, in what we call #Aristrong After Care,” said Villalobos, “the children in the family will be taken on field trips, like movies, or the Discovery Center.

We want to show them there is so much more in this world around them.” #Aristrong has adopted a family for a Santa visit on December 24th, and the group will be visiting the 4 Seasons apartment complex with gifts for each child living there. The gifts will include toys, a food basket and a carne asada taco dinner that evening. They are also heading over to the Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House to provide dinner and have a toy giveaway there. Villalobos is looking forward to a meeting on January 8, 2020 with San Bernardino County

representatives to get connected with projects county wide.

“Although we primarily want to help families in the Colton area,” says Villalobos, “we want to know of available resources and concerns all around us.

In February 2020, Villalobos will be returning to the Loma Linda Pediatric Oncology Ward for the first time since the loss of her beloved daughter.

“It’s time that I tackle that,” she says, “I don’t want anything to stop me from completing what Ari wanted me to do. We must give love and hope in a dark situation. There is always purpose in the pain.”

Supported by her church, the Echoes of Love Ministry in Colton, Villalobos says that #Aristrong will have a website soon as they await approval on their non-profit status. Any individual or business that may want to help this effort for the people of Colton can contact her at 909213-2863.

This year the Census Bureau was on hand to take applications for employment as a census worker, along with the Aldrete Family’s photo booth where pictures are taken and developed on the spot for families to take home as a lasting memory. DJ Rudy Hernandez with DJ Rude Dog played tunes all day to keep everyone’s spirits high. There were tables full of free giveaways with new shoes, hats, tee-shirts and other surprises. A table was set up with coloring pages for the children, alongside a table with decorate-it-yourself cookies to take home.

Although the weather was drizzly and cold, the Seeds of Hope event crew didn’t falter at all.

“We covered up the presents and everyone else tucked their things in under their canopies, and we stayed until the last family was helped,” said Gaona. Alma Alvarez and her daughter Jackie Angel certainly didn't let a little bit of drizzle dampen their holiday spirit. "We've come here for a few years," said Alvarez, "We always enjoy it." "I got my best toy last year here!" gushed her daughter Jackie with a big smile, "It was a transformer robot! I really like coming here!"

After parents picked out the children’s toys, they were given a stocking full of goodies and sent on to a table manned by the Seeds of Hope ladies, along with women from the Royal Gents and Impact Church of Colton. Throughout the day other individuals came to help a part of those and other groups, or just as local volunteers.

Anthony Martinez was on duty as a comrade-in-arms to the Big Man Himself (Santa Claus), and toy donations kept coming in during the event.

“Each year the event gets bigger and better. This year, Leno paved the back-parking lot and it was a blessing to have everything on the pavement. I can’t say enough of what he does to support this event, and how we appreciate his continued support. He and his wife Liz and their boys always go above and beyond for us. Ever since the first time we held this event at his facility about 9 years ago, they have been a great blessing to everyone involved,” said Gaona.

Giving thanks to the many groups that helped, Gaona wanted to let them know how much they were all so appreciated: Leno’s, the Aldrete Family, Liz Pritchard and her group for decorating, the Impact Church of Colton, the Royal Gents, Entertainers Car Club, Sauvesitos Car Club, Home Depot, the VFW Auxiliary and the Colton Woman’s Club. “From the bigger groups to each individual that pitched in to make this event so successful, I thank them from the bottom of my heart,” Gaona said, “It certainly takes a village, and I thank the village.”

Late Friday before the event, there were not enough donated toys to cover all the children who had applied. “But,” Gaona said, “God is always on time! We were picking up toys as late as 9 p.m. on Friday and toys were being dropped off during the event, so we met the need! We are truly appreciative and thankful for everyone’s help!”

19 San Ber nardino County elementar y schools ear n Distinguished Schools status

N

ineteen elementary schools from 10 San Bernardino County districts have been named California Distinguished Schools, according to a news release from the California Department of Education.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced a total of 323 elementary schools being honored under the 2020 California Distinguished Schools Award Program. Sponsored by the California Department of Education and presented

by California Casualty, the program recognizes outstanding education programs and practices.

Schools are awarded for closing the achievement gap and for achieving exceptional student performance.

“We are very proud of the out-

standing academic achievement and culture of collaboration that theses schools have exhibited as California Distinguished Schools,” County Superintendent Ted Alejandre said. “Congratulations to the teachers, administrators and staff, as well as the parents and community members, who support these terrific schools.”

for two years.

“These outstanding schools don’t just educate students; they also provide the young people of California the tools they need to be successful after graduation,” Thurmond said. “Thanks go to all the staff at these schools—teachers, administrators, classified employees—and parents, who are working together to provide highquality educational experiences for all of their students.”

This year’s San Bernardino County Distinguished Schools are: • Deer Canyon Elementary, Alta Loma School District; •Coyote Canyon Elementary, Central Elementary School District;

• Hidden Trails and Liberty elementaries, Chino Valley Unified School District; • Lightfoot, Solorio, Etiwanda Colony, Perdew and West Heritage elementaries, Etiwanda School District; • Krystal School of Math, Science and Technology and LaVerne Elementary Prep Academy, Hesperia Unified School District; • Ramona Elementary, OntarioMontclair School District; • Cram and Highland Grove elementaries, Redlands Unified School District; • Trapp Elementary, Rialto Unified School District;

Unprecedented lawsuit: Nonprofit sues over half of Calif or nia’s c iti es, count ies fo r v iol ati on o f wat er conser vat ion r ul es

T

he Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) filed a lawsuit on Dec. 17 alleging that more than half of all cities and counties in California have failed to comply with the state’s water-efficiency regulations under the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act. Named in the lawsuit are San Bernardino County and the cities of Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and Redlands, as representative of all other cities and counties throughout California that failed to comply with the reporting requirements outlined by state

water conservation regulations.

“Local governments’ rampant noncompliance with state water conservation regulations is an affront to all Californians who play by the rules,” said Ed Osann, Director of National Water Use Efficiency at NRDC. “If all residents are to receive safe and sufficient drinking water supplies in a future faced with climate change, it’s critical to make outdoor water use more efficient. Local permit programs are key to achieving this goal, and annual reporting provides the benchmark for progress.

We are simply asking the Court to local governments heeded direct all cities and counties to NRDC’s request, others failed to comply with state requirements.” take action, prompting NRDC’s class action case today.

West Valley Water District Board takes steps toward transparency, accountability

D

uring the first-ever livestreamed meeting of the West Valley Water District (WVWD) Board of Directors, the group took several steps towards meeting transparency and accountability standards recognized by the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF).

Board President Channing Hawkins stated, “The Board of Directors is moving in a new direction towards earning the public trust of our customers and community stakeholders.” President Hawkins added, “Our Board will continue taking action towards attaining the Transparency Certificate of Excellence.

Our commitment as an organization is to earn the trust of our customers and continue providing safe, high quality, and reliable water.”

“Tonight we began demonstrating to our ratepayers and public that we will operate in a sound, responsible manner, with the ratepayer’s best interests in mind,” said Vice President Kyle Crowther. “We are going to move forward together as an organization in restoring integrity, accountability, and transparency. This is my commitment to our community.”

Recognizing the need to make serious changes to provide transparency and accountability for ratepayers, the WVWD outlined

steps to increase accountability and transparency for ratepayers.

These steps include: • applying for a Transparency Certificate of Excellence Award.

The certificate covers all general, website and outreach best practices and requirements regarding transparency for special districts.

The certificate is administered by the SDLF, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides recognition and certifications to special districts and officials to enhance services to the public.

• live-streaming the meeting for customers and community stakeholders. New meetings and workshops will now be live-streamed for the public on the WVWD website and Facebook page.

• producing digital copies of Board of Directors meetings for the public in compliance with the California Public Records Act. • publishing a master calendar for scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees.

• reviewing human resources policies. The agency will be conducting a hiring freeze while actions are taken to ensure our policies are fair, transparent, and consistent.

Board of Directors will be conducted to review all professional services contracts within West Valley Water District. The review has been directed by the Board of Directors to ensure accountability for the ratepayers of the District.

The District will provide all required resources, to include: fiscal, personnel, and management oversight, in the pursuit and completion of the accreditation. Our leadership will place an emphasis on continuing education completed by having each of the district’s board members and executive staff trained in ethics, governance and leadership as required by the accreditation.

Additional requirements by the Special District Leadership Fund include current ethics training for all board members, compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act, adoption of policy related to handling public records act requests, and financial policies among others.

droughts.

First enacted in 1990, the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act aims to reduce water used for irrigation on urban landscapes, by specifying that new landscapes and major renovations of existing landscapes must be designed to be water-efficient. To implement the act, the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) sets criteria for the design and installation of new landscapes. All local agencies must report on the scope and enforcement of their landscape ordinance on an annual basis. The reports allow state and local agencies and community groups to evaluate the effectiveness of current standards for landscape water use.

New generation bringing change to San Ber nardino

Guest Op-Ed Mayor John Valdivia City of San Bernardino

O

ne year ago, a new generation of leaders was sworn in to lead the City of San Bernardino.

The people of our city voted for change because they wanted to have hope for a brighter future.

On the first anniversary of my first year as your Mayor, I’m pleased to report that hope is on the way for San Bernardino. Working collaboratively with responsible members of the City Council, we have made great progress in building a foundation for our city’s future success.

We restored public integrity at City Hall by replacing a corrupt city manager who had misled residents about San Bernardino’s true financial condition. Today, our city is operating in an accountable and transparent manner with honest budgeting and accurate financial numbers.

Working with our Police Department leadership, we passed a new Community Oriented Policing system which reorganizes our city policing into five local districts with future police substations located throughout our city. Our first local substation, which is being paid for with private funds, will be located in the Inland Center Mall. Future substations are being planned for the Westside and North San Bernardino.

Bringing police officers closer to their patrol areas will improve response times and help deter criminal activity. It marks the beginning of a comprehensive long-term approach to crime reduction.

As San Bernardino’s first working class Mayor in many years, I understand the importance of rebuilding our city’s economic foundation and creating better paying employment opportunities for our families.

To accomplish this goal, I made a promise to “get the Carousel Mall done”!

Just two weeks ago, the Council approved a process to replace the

Our San Bernardino City Leadership Team is also focused on reducing homelessness by creating better housing opportunities for residents of all income levels.

Thanks to our efforts, a quality new residential community will soon be built at the corner of 5th Street and Meridian on the Westside. This outstanding project is the result of joint partnership between Helping Hearts California and LaBarge Industries.

Nearly one in five emergency room visits by chronic disease patients in 2017 were "potentially preventable," according to one study. These avoidable trips cost $8.3 billion and accounted for 60 percent of all emergency visits at the 750 hospitals analyzed by the study.

The most effective way to slow the growth of chronic disease and health insurance spending is to help patients better manage, or even prevent, chronic conditions.

Prioritizing preventative care is crucial. Less than 10 percent of adults receive preventative services like regular blood pressure and cholesterol screenings or obesity counseling.

Sadly, many patients avoid seeking preventive care -- such as regular doctor visits and taking medicines as prescribed -- because they can't afford the out-of-pocket costs required. Four in 10 Americans reported skipping doctors' visits due to cost in 2017.

High-deductible plans have exacerbated the problem. These plans require individuals to cover thousands of dollars in health costs up front before insurance kicks in. They can be extremely expensive for patients with chronic disease, who visit upwards of 13 health care providers and fill 50 prescriptions each year.

Separately, Americans also struggle to afford their prescriptions at the pharmacy counter. Americans with chronic diseases regularly require more medicines than do healthy Americans to manage their conditions.

Multiple trips to the pharmacy counter add up. Nearly one in four Americans struggles to afford their prescriptions. And those with three or more chronic conditions face out-of-pocket prescription costs that are 10 times higher than patients without any such conditions.

Failure to take medicines as prescribed can have severe health consequences. One in 10 hospital patients winds up in the hospital because they deviate from their prescription regimen. Those visits set our healthcare system back $289 billion annually.

Fortunately, there are several ways to make preventive care and prescription drugs more affordable.

In addition, we are working with San Bernardino’s state and federal representatives to bring more financial resources to help our city. Earlier this year, we partnered with State Assemblyman James Ramos to secure $3 million in state grant monies to improve city planning.

For starters, policymakers could spread cost-sharing requirements more evenly throughout the year.

Patients would have an easier time paying for their medications or routine visits to the doctor if they didn't have to cover thousands of dollars in deductibles up front.

San Bernardino’s new generation of leadership has brought greater diversity and energy to our city. These new dynamic leaders are active partners in the city’s policy-making process.

Their perspectives have helped to secure more community resources and services for areas of our City that were too often neglected in the past.

Lawmakers could also explore capping annual out-of-pocket drug costs for America's sickest patients. Limiting cost-sharing would no doubt give patients financial relief, boost medication adherence, and improve health outcomes.

After my first year as your Mayor, I can say with confidence that our city is moving on the right path toward becoming a safer, more prosperous and more inclusive community for all of our residents.

On behalf of my family and I, we wish our region and more particularly, the City of San Bernardino, joy- filled Seasons Greetings and a Prosperous New Year.

To get a hold on our nation's health spending, we'll have to get a hold on chronic disease. To do so, we'll need to make it easier and more affordable for patients to manage, or even prevent, such diseases.

Kenneth E. Thorpe Professor of health policy at Emory University and chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease.

A

thousand local kids and teens got a new pair of shoes for the holidays, thanks to San Manuel Band of Mission Indians’ Soles for the Holidays initiative.

San Manuel’s Business Committee gifted the Club $100,000 to buy shoes. Eighty-six percent of kids and teens who attend the Club are from low-income households, and one of their consistent needs is for shoes.

“More and more, staff are report-

ing that more and kids are wearing worn-out and holey shoes,” said Club CEO P.T. McEwen.

With the financial backing of San Manuel, the Club worked with Nike stores in Redlands and Ontario to bring youth and volunteers together for a shopping spree in mid-December.

“There are a lot of needy families out there and we’re blessed to have the opportunity to help,” said San Manuel Business Committee member Audrey Martinez, who

took four sisters shopping at the Redlands Nike store.

by Commission on Peer Review and Accreditation (COPRA). All NASPAA accredited programs have successfully met NASPAA Standards.

In 2016, the college was renamed the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration shortly after the late longtime CSUSB supporter and nationally acclaimed business leader Jack H. Brown gave a $10 million endowment gift to the college. This was the largest single cash donation in the university’s history.

Annual return funds are used for scholarships, professional leadership experience, career support, new faculty, Jack H. Brown College center projects, upgraded learning environments and other opportunities supporting college students, faculty and staff.

The college is housed in Jack H. Brown Hall, which opened Sept.

23, 1991, in recognition of Brown’s years of involvement and support to CSUSB, surrounding communities and country. It was the first building on campus to be named in acknowledgement of a significant donation – $1 million toward building enhancements.

Words to Think About: B e a u t y o f t h e u n e x p e c t e d - s e r e n d i p i t y unexpected pleasures.

The word was coined in 1754 by Sir Horace Walpole, noted British author. It is based on a fairy tale that began in the land of Serendip.

This country is an island off the coast of India.

hat’s on your agenda for the New Year? Your goals, your aspirations, your dreams: Don’t have any? Why not? If you do not have expectations, they will probably be realized.

Even the Bible urges us to plan for the future. “Where there is no vision the people perish.”

(Proverbs 29:18) I begin each year with a new date book. The back is filled with names, phone numbers and addresses. Then I fill in the front with appointments and birthdays.

Leaving plenty of room for the unexpected.

The word that applies for the latter is SERENDIPITY. It has overtones of adventure and

For many years it was called Ceylon. Today its name is Sri Lanka. The fairy tale concerns the king of Serendip and his three sons. They are sent throughout the world to learn about it. They always meet the unexpected. Thus, the word serendipity. Or, discoveries by accident of things they were not seeking.

Certainly, there should be a word for that, because life is full of it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Columbus, looking for a direct route to Asia, stubbed his toe on America.” Serendipity.

Of course, many of the experiences in the New Year are predictable. We’ll be getting older.

Doctors visits; Dentists as well.

Some of our friends will die. The government will probably continue to be a mess.

The very essence of serendipity is indirection. Going after one thing and in the process, finding something else. A similar concept is used by magicians-misdirection. The word “by-product” is also appropriate.

What do Velcro, penicillin, xrays, Teflon, dynamite, the Dead Sea Scrolls, quinine, smallpox vaccination, iodine, discovery of America, law of gravity, synthetic rubber, insulin, photography, sulfa drugs, glass, nylon, methane, interferon and hundreds of other things have in common? THEY WERE ALL THE RESULT OF SERENDIPITY. On and on. One example of serendipity after another. However, most of us will never be explorers or inventors. Are there other ways for us, in the New Year, to experience it? Absolutely.

The unknown days (365) are uncharted. Never traversed by us before. Our journey will be like the three men of Serendip. Like them, we will indirectly meet NEW FRIENDS.

Just about everyday Stella and I go to a local McDonald’s for a Burrito. Several months ago, a young man came in for coffee. We started talking, found several common interests and soon we were meeting everyday. Friendship developed. Serendipity.

HAPPINESS is always a byproduct. It is experienced because of something else: an activity, a great dinner, winning the lottery, a family gathering, etc.

The year ahead will provide many opportunities for those or similar serendipities.

I have an insatiable curiosity.

The subject doesn’t matter. I want to learn all I can about places, people and things. More often

than not, opportunities present themselves unexpectedly.

Serendipity.

A few years ago, I became aware of two words that I add to Serendipity. It was the center of a movie with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I adopted it as mine. BUCKET LIST. I apply it for the New Year, but also for everyday I live. It involves Resolutions, Goals, Dreams, Behaviors and Commitments.

By the way, for me a Bucket List makes life more interesting.

Amazon brings food pantr y to Hunt Elementar y to help fight childhood hunger

O

n December 10, the doors of a new food pantry opened in San Bernardino but not at your typical site - it was located onsite at Hunt Elementary School. Amazon and Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County were there to celebrate the grand opening of the food pantry along with local community representatives and

elected officials. Amazon provided Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County with a $25,000 donation to create the onsite food pantry at the school, helping students to reach their learning potential on a full stomach.

“Students are our future innovators and their success depends on

their ability to learn and be curious – they can’t do that on an empty stomach,” said Daniel Burton, Operations Manager at the Amazon San Bernardino fulfillment center.

“Amazon is excited to be able to support Hunt Elementary School by partnering with Community Action Partnership to provide an accessible and safe setting to help support local children and their

Hunt Elementary School and Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County worked together for several months to renovate the school’s current clothing closet into a full food pantry and free clothing “store.” Volunteers, including teachers and parents from Hunt Elementary School, will make sure the facility is staffed while Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County will make sure the shelves are stocked with regular food deliveries.

This donation is part of Amazon’s commitment to fight childhood hunger – more than 13 million children in the United States live in homes where they don’t regularly have enough food to eat. Amazon is working with local food banks and schools to establish food pantries in areas near fulfillment centers and help provide at least 500,000 meals to support children in local communities across the U.S.

“These food pantries will help remove transportation barriers and provide convenient locations for children and families to get access to food,” said Hunt Elementary School Principal, Kristin Kolling.

“Alleviating the challenges associated with hunger will empower our students to prosper in school and become engaged community members. We are so grateful for this generous donation from Amazon and the services that are being

“Our Food Bank Program has worked closely with Amazon to develop the pantry here at Hunt Elementary. Our organization will make sure this project is sustained by adopting this school, and continuing to fill these shelves with nutritious food items and other donations,” said Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County’s President and CEO Patricia Nickols-Butler.

“Today, our community witnessed the power of partnership and we are thankful to be involved.”

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-19-867101-JB. 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 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. 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.
