to a medical condition. Despite these experiences, Auggie is confident enough to approach other kids and form relationships.

“I could not put it down,” said Almendarez about the book.

Almendarez was so compelled by the story that he took his 6year-old grandson to watch the film adaptation.

“I read the book and I was pretty emotional with the book,” said Almendarez. “But what really touched me was seeing how the film impacted him. I said, ‘Wow, for a 6-year-old to say he loved it.’”

The Superintendent told Mrs. Perez’s class of how “impressed” and “proud” he was of their reading efforts.

Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council Vice Chair Israel Fuentes poses for a photo with Crestmore Elementary School students. His message to students: “Even though you’ll be picked on, you have to remember that you’ll always be that [strong] person.”

The Crestmore students agreed that the storyline--a definite “tearjerker”--has taught them valuable lessons about respecting the differences and experiences of others.

n Saturday, Mar. 3, the Lawrence Hutton Community Center will once again turn into a dazzling display of beautiful flowers, plants and vegetables. Now in its sixth year, the Inland Empire Master Gardeners Club of Colton, the RiversideSan Bernardino County Orchid Society, and the Riverside Flower Show Association have combined forces to not only display beautiful flower/garden arrangements, but award prizes, and offer several instructional sessions for gardening enthusiasts. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of horticulture, or an aspiring novice, this Garden Festival and Flower Show will have much to offer. The sessions include Care of the Gift Orchid, Succulents and Cactus, Planting with Kids, and Water Saving Irrigation systems. Experienced gardening experts

will lead the sessions, and have planned to provide valuable information, answer questions, and include some practical “hands on” activities. Several vendors and local gardeners will be on-hand to offer several smaller potted plants for sale, as well as making available various supplies and important information. This annual garden festival, boutique and flower show event is one of the “hidden gems” of our city and anyone who is interested in flowers, plants, and gardening should plan on attending, and if you are so inclined, participating in the sessions. The Garden Festival and Flower Show is Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lawrence Hutton Community Center, 660 Colton Ave, Colton, CA. For more information about the Garden Festival and Flower Show contact Ron or Linda Lang @ 951-663-5237.

greatness does not lie in being strong, but with the right use of strength, Fuentes restated.

“It’s all about doing the right thing,” he said. “Even though you’ll be picked on, you have to remember that you’ll always be that [strong] person.”

“Yes, I may have helped save her life,” said Finn. “But I didn’t do it alone. How’s that for God in your life on a Friday afternoon?”

COMMUNITY COMMENTARY

Substance for the soul

Guest Op-Ed Dr. Mildred Henry Professor Emeritus, CSUSB

istory is endless. The designated Black History Month of February is ending, but the study must be endless. I was recently fascinated by a marvelous play, “K.C.’s Dream” at the Dr. Mildred Dalton Henry Elementary School in San Bernardino. It was substance for the soul.

The play highlighted historical personalities such as Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, Madame C.J. Walker, George Washington Carver, Nat King Cole, Claudette Colvin, Sylvia Mendez, Oprah Winfrey, Marian Anderson, Michael Jordan, Hank Aaron, Shirley Chisolm, Barack Obama, Muhammed Ali, and Carter G. Woodson.

You can email letters to editor@iecn.com. Please include your name and city of residence. Anonymous letters will not be printed. these personalities. February Black History activities took place in schools and in the media worldwide. With each presentation a child or adult somewhere stood a little taller.

There is a tremendous need to continue the endless process of learning about the contributions of Black pioneers. There is a need as long as Henry Elementary scholars thirst for knowledge, as long as Cal State University honors local Black Pioneers each year, as long as PAL Center staff and students at three sites study and portray Black heroes and “sheroes”, and as long as schools, churches and organizations everywhere show that pioneers chartered a path that saw challenges rather than roadblocks.

History never dies and neither should the study of facts. We can follow the footsteps of those who were achievers against all odds. Life for them was “no crystal stair”.

Their stories of pain and triumph, of strength and struggle, when shared, is motivating, not only for Black people but for the nation.

We should value the lessons of our elders as a blueprint for the future. The value is immeasurable. When one realizes the past is connected to the present, is proud, and believes in oneself, it is difficult for naysayers to manipulate the mind.

We should celebrate Black excellence year around until Black History takes its rightful place in American and World History.

Revive Us Again: Billy Graham and that Old-Time Religion

by Dr. Earl Tilford

I am right behind Billy Graham on life’s final lap. My first encounter with the evangelist was in 1953 when the Billy Graham Crusade visited the fairgrounds in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The whole team was there: Cliff Barrows led the singing, George Beverly Shea, accompanied by Grady Smith on the piano, sang about the love of and grandeur of God. In my seventh year, singing “Just as I am,” I answered the altar call.

Television was new and we didn’t yet have one. Movies were great. Errol Flynn, who starred 18 years earlier in “Captain Blood,” reached late career glory in the 1953 technicolor pirate hit “Against all Flags.” I knew, someday, I’d be a pirate. Cinemascope was on the way when, around a year before Billy Graham visited Chattanooga, dad got the bornagain-in-the-precious-blood-oflamb “old-time religion.” It hit like a case of flu that dad needed to share. Bad news for this budding buccaneer because many in the deep south considered movies and TV to be Satan’s toys. Church three times on Sunday, on Wednesday night, and Bible study at dad’s new best friend’s house on Thursday. This blossomed in 1955 when dad deposited mom and me in Florida with my grandparents while he went off to seminary in Dallas, Texas.

My grandma and grandpa were Methodists who not only had a television but owned the first color TV in St. Petersburg, Florida. They also smoked cigarettes and drank Manhattans. I got to watch “Superman,” “Sheena Queen of the Jungle,” and fall in love with Mickey Mouse Club’s Annette Funicello. I shocked the fourth

grade class at Florida Christian Day School when my “show and tell” involved a critique of Audie Murphy in his movie, “To Hell and Back.” Saying “hell” got me 10 minutes of standing with my back to the blackboard, in front of the whole class, while holding a paddle at arm’s length and repeating, “I must not say ‘hell.” That old-time religion made me a nineyear-old apostate. Well, at least I got to say “hell” a bunch of times.

Dad matured. God’s love and grace in Christ Jesus pushed aside the legalism of his immediate conversion experience. On doctor’s orders, dad took up smoking to control his weight. He also enjoyed an occasional beer and sneaked Chianti into the house to wash down mom’s homemade spaghetti. Dad didn’t blanch when I chose the University of Alabama over a plethora of church-related schools. Before I departed home for Tuscaloosa he taught me how to mix dry martinis. Dad was cool.

And through it all was Billy Graham. In April 1965, second semester of my freshman year, the Billy Graham Crusade visited Tuscaloosa. The same crew from Chattanooga a dozen years earlier showed up in Denny Stadium on the Alabama campus. George Beverly Shea had just finished “How Great Thou Art” when rolling thunder exploded into a fierce lightning storm. In the downpour, Billy Graham’s sermon was over in a flash, “God loves you. His son Jesus died for your sins. God bless you and good night.”

Billy Graham returned to Alabama two months later when the Crusade rolled into Montgomery, Alabama. Reverend Graham insisted the service be totally integrated. In George Wallace’s Alabama, as worshippers sang God’s praises they also sat together; for many black and white

Alabamians, they were worshipping together for the first time. Alabama quarterback Steve Sloan and sophomore Carol Ann Self, the “Miss Alabama” Million Dollar Band sponsor and future Bama cheerleader, gave their personal testimonies. It was all on national television and it was good.

In the 65 years since the Chattanooga Crusade, I have been a Lutheran, an Anglican, and three varieties of Presbyterian. I married a Roman Catholic without causing the Apocalypse. I enjoy Mass, and while I don’t partake, transubstantiation seems as plausible as virgin birth and resurrection from the dead: all mysteries of faith demanding belief. I’ve heard preversus millennialism post-millennialism argued without understanding either and salvation by grace alone put up against salvation by grace with sanctification by works. These arguments make us forget that fundamental things apply as time goes by.

A quarter century ago, right before dad merged with eternity, he asked why I picked the military over ministry. “Dad, in the military you turn your cheek to find your next target.” He smiled, “You got point there, son.”

What I loved about Billy Graham was what I like about the military: focus and simplicity. Billy Graham’s focus was simple yet eternal. God loves us. Jesus died for our salvation. That’s the message that revives us again and again—all of us.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah, amen!

Word s to Live By : My f avor ite a sp ect s of be in g a m in is ter The second significant event yesterday when Stella and I had lunch with Dr. Jill Kirchner-Rose, the pastor of Redlands United Church of Christ. Our lunch lasted for two hours. She asked me a provocative question that also triggered this article.

Dr. Bill Abersold

wo significant events prompt the contents of this article. Wednesday morning, I heard the news of Billy Graham’s death. He died at age 99. I’m 90 years old. I’m a retired minister, having pastored for 50plus years - two churches in Florida, one in Oregon and three in California.

He was an avowed evangelical but not a fundamentalist. There is a significant difference. It is reported that his citywide meetings attracted a total of 125 million people in 85 countries. I have admired him since his meeting in Los Angeles in the late 1940’s. I think he and his wife, Ruth, had four children. When asked what surprised him most in life, he said, “The brevity of life.”

Two statements I remember. He said, “I do not decide who makes it into heaven. That’s God’s job.” And when Ruth was asked if she ever thought of divorce-because he was gone from their home so often, she said, “No, but murder many times.” Of course, a joke. I’m sure hundreds of his converts welcomed him into heaven.

The question? “Doc, what was the thing that you had to do as a pastor that was your least favorite?” To be frank, it startled me. I had never thought of that question before. I had been asked several times about my favorite activities as minister, but never my least favorite. I could not answer the question, nor can I now. I enjoyed and appreciated everything I did.

But my favorite activity as minister may surprise you. It was conducting funeral services. Not because I’m morbid, but because a funeral made me feel I was doing God’s business. I took every one of the hundreds I conducted very seriously.

I always, if possible, visited members of the family prior to the service; to understand the deceased better and to pray with the survivors. I would ask them to give one word that best described the loved one. I would later include their comments in the service.

I never presumed to judge the destiny of the deceased, for a basic reason. The early leaders of the founding of Christianity believed in universalism, as I do.

Augustine injected the concept of purgatory into the Roman Catholic belief system. The Bible endorses universalism more than a belief in a judgmental God. Be-

cause of this I would close the service with this procedure. I would give the audience a question, “How many of you believe God hears your prayers?” The majority would always raise a hand.

I would then ask the audience, “Do you believe the deceased is with God?” The assent was always positive. I would then respond with the words, “I’m going to pray and ask God to tell your loved one that he/she is missed and loved and appreciated their influences.” Following my prayer, I would pronounce the Benediction with the Lord’s Prayer and a verse of Scripture.

The contents of my comments always included words of encouragement and hope for the loved ones. Such as, the words of Angelo Patri, “In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond its departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that spirit looking out of other’s eyes. He/she lives on in your life and in the lives of all others that knew him (her.)”

Scripture was always a part of my meditation. The 23rd Psalm. Particularly, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.” And, “My God, even my God, will comfort you.” And, Matthew 25:21, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, Enter thou into the joys of your Lord.”

My second favorite activity as a minister is to preach. In my Bible I have written the following words by Richard Baxter; “I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.”

About once every month I would ask the audience to remember my objective in preaching. “I do not want you to leave your brains outside the sanctuary.” I would ask them to “think something, feel something, and do something.” Then I would always pray that God would guide me in giving the sermon. My Dad was a hard-working man with only a 6th grade education. When I informed him that I felt called by God to be a preacher, he gave me some advice that I’ve never forgotten. “Don’t have us stand all the time. We work hard and we are tired. Keep the sermon short and interesting.” I always tried, and try, to listen to his suggestion.

Then, I also received a suggestion from the minister that inspired me more than all others, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. He was described as preaching to an audience made up of ten-years-olds. If they could understand him, everyone would.

I’ve also tried to follow his example as a newspaper columnist for thirty years. Write so that a ten-year-old can understand what I’ve written.

The Bible is made up of parables, proverbs, mythologies and laws. These - all four - are stories, not messages. They contain the messages. As a minister I sought every week to articulate that message. For example, the story of Adam and Eve. Talking to a snake is a myth. The message is that God gives every person his or her right to choose. Choice and compensation are available to every one of us.

Finally, I’ve said that if I had one sermon to preach, I would use the Parable of the Prodigal son as the basis. But the message is the “loving father” who runs to greet his prodigal son. Jesus was telling His disciples that God is like the father. He runs to greet us. Amen. Selah So be it.

hildren’s Fund, a 30-yearold nonprofit focused on the needs of vulnerable children, is pleased to announce the establishment of the Ramos Family Endowed Scholarship Fund. A $50,000 gift was made by San Bernardino County Board of Supervisor James Ramos and his family to establish the fund.

The Ramos Family Endowed Scholarship Fund will award scholarships in perpetuity to homeless, transitional, unaccompanied, foster, former foster, extended foster youth, or other vulnerable youth, who are between the ages of 17 and 24 years old.

While priority will be given to Native American students, the Ramos Family looks forward to supporting students who are enrolled or accepted at a community college or university, or accredited vocational school in San Bernardino County.

“Our homeless and foster youth are among the most vulnerable populations in our communities. They also happen to be one of the most resilient groups,” said Supervisor James Ramos. “It is our hope that through the Ramos Family Endowed Scholarship

Fund, we will open new opportunities for youth to succeed in college and create a better life for themselves.”

James was born and raised on the San Manuel Indian Reservation. He grew up in a mobile home with his family.

“I’m 18. I’m homeless. I was wondering what I was going to do, where I was going to go while I was waiting for financial aid for school. It’s a very long process,”

said Olu-Ebube Meigs. “The scholarship from the Ramos Family helped me live while I was waiting. There was a sigh of relief when I heard I received the scholarship. It came at the very best time.”

40% of the scholarship funds are designated for living and other ex-

penses.

To grow the endowment and increase the number of scholarships awarded each year, the family has planned a Scholarship Breakfast Fundraiser on Thursday, August 23, 2018 at 7:30 a.m. at the University of Redlands.

Despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s latest decision to not dis-

cuss lawsuits pertaining to the elimination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, immigration advocates are continuing to encourage the community to promote a “Clean” Dream Act bill.

“This will be a solution for all undocumented youth, including those who are now excluded from applying for DACA,” said Saira Murillo, chairwoman of the Inland

Empire Immigrant Youth Collective.

People in attendance discussed storytelling methods, strategy and policy, parent engagement, and on-campus organizing with immigration advocates. Advocates also discussed the history of the Dream Act, which touched on legislative efforts that date back to 2001.

2018 Girl Scout cookie season underway to Girl Scout Troop 235 from San Gorgonio.

Both Emily and Samantha took their jobs seriously and enthusiastically as they approached customers. Working as a team, from approaching potential customers to closing the sale, the scouts performed their job with confidence and pride. Claudia Taylor (Emily’s mom) and Tom Rauterkus (Samantha’s dad), watched closely, but allowed the girls to work independently. The cookie season only runs from

January 28th to March 18th, said Taylor.

Samantha said that she has sold about 1,000 boxes of cookies so far, and Emily 500 boxes; they still have a couple of weeks left.

The popularity of the Girl Scout cookies is well recognized. Several boxes of Girl Scout Cookies were given away as door prizes during the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce Business Mixer this month, and everyone seemed to have their favorite cookie!

From Gir l Scouts to Gir l Repor ter s: Immer sing tomor r ow’s media professionals in hands-on lear ning today gram every year.

The more experienced girls are called Senior Reporters, and they engage in activities such as conducting Facebook Lives and vlogging. The newer girls, called Junior Reporters, start out by writing, and learning some of the fundamentals of media before moving on to other things.

Each girl is responsible for conducting interviews, writing ten news articles or stories with corresponding newsworthy photography, one video production, and one video resume as a final project.

At first, stories are assigned by staff, but as the girls gain experience and confidence, they start to come up with their own story ideas and original content.

Girls in the Girl Reporter program from the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council are learning how to harness the power of social media, and other mass media, to highlight the good things happening in the world and their communities and also how to be a voice for the greater good.

Through the Girl Reporter program, which is funded by Doing What Matters through the San Bernardino Community College District and private individuals, girls immerse themselves in the fields of media, journalism, broadcasting and communications by learning how to conduct interviews, take photos and videos at events, and write reports.

The goal of the program is to introduce girls to the field of media by giving them opportunities to create original content and compelling stories about their experiences. Girl reporters learn how to write, identify “newsworthy” stories, how to create podcasts, trailers and video resumes, the latter which is becoming increasingly common in the job market and college applications.

“Previously there was a lot of focus on STEM [programs], so we asked if there would be an interest in communications, journalism and social media,” said Jua-Nita Houston, Vice President for Exter-

In its third year, the program now includes vlogging, which is a blog with video content, and YouTube. Currently there are 65 girls in the program, and approximately 15 new girls join the pro-

During the summer session, the girls will attend Apple Camp where they will learn from experts in local Apple Stores to shoot their own footage, import music/footage, and edit all material together in iMovie using their iPads.

This year the Girl Reporter program will also collaborate with KCAA Talk Radio, and the girls will learn new skills and concepts such as producing, shooting, and anchoring, and will also benefit from the mentorship of Erin Brinker, host of the “On the Brink” Morning Show.

“I hope they take away confidence and a belief in their capacity to pursue a career in mass communications,” Brinker said of the girls’ upcoming visit to the KCAA studio in San Bernardino.

The Girl Reporter program has been so successful and transformative for the girls that other Girl Scout Councils outside of California have been contacting the San Gorgonio Council to find out about starting similar programs in their areas.

But perhaps one of the most meaningful outcomes of the Girl Reporter program, besides giving young women an incredible head start in their career planning and skills, is not so much about what they do as much as how they grow as individuals through the experi-

Through the Girl Reporter program of the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio, young girls learn about careers in media and communications through hands-on learning. The girls learn how to identify “newsworthy” stories, how to write and podcast, and also visit local radio and television studios and gain a firsthand experience in the various aspects of media production. ence.

“Some girls were really shy at first,” Houston said. “But through the program, meeting people and conducting interviews, they really overcame.”

According to Houston, one young lady in particular who had been extremely shy, surprised even her mother by asking to sit in the anchor chair during one of the media tours. “I got this,” the young reporter said, as she confidently took a seat in the anchor chair at a TV studio.

“This program allows them to build confidence as they step out of their comfort zone,” Houston added.

And it also teaches the young girls the importance of using their voice for the greater good. “Few people understand market-

ing,” Houston concluded. “But marketing is a way of using your voice to foster change or highlight the good things. It all starts with one person and one voice.” Visit https://girlscoutsnow.com and click on Girl Reporter to view some of the Girl Reporter stories and listen to their podcasts.
