Día de los Muertos” or Day of the Dead, a longcelebrated holiday in Mexican, Latino cultures and pre-Hispanic indigenous cultures to honor the lives of loved ones, will be held at Cal State San Bernardino on Saturday, Nov. 2.

The Day of the Dead festivities kicks off the university’s Native American Heritage Month celebrations and is sponsored by the CSUSB Association of Latino Faculty, Staff and Students, The LatinX Center, Liberal Studies, Undergraduate Studies and the Latino Education and Advocacy Days project.

“

The celebration, part of the university’s Native American Heritage month-long celebration, will feature ethnic food, music, student clubs, vendors, food, games, activities, a photo booth and a community altar built by the university’s Acto Latino Theater Group. The event, which will include performances by the Rialto High School Ballet Folklorico Cultural and Aztec Dancers, will be 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in the university’s lower Meeting Center (formerly known as the Commons) and is open to the public. Complimentary parking will be in Lot D, located off Northpark Boulevard and Serrano Village

According to the National Geographic travel website, Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people who considered mourning the dead disrespectful. For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in life’s long continuum. The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit — and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth. Today’s Día de los Muertos celebration is a mash-up of preHispanic religious rites and Christian feasts. It takes place on

Nov. 1 and 2 — All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day on the Catholic calendar — around the time of the fall maize harvest. During Day of the Dead, fami-

lies create ofrendas (offerings) to honor their departed family members who have passed. These altars are decorated with CSUSB, cont. on next pg.

HS Central Valley Prevention Program and Community Coalitions for CHANGE hosted the first annual 2019 Escape the Vape event on Monday, Oct. 21 . Community members from Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Rialto, Muscoy, and San Bernardino gathered at the San Bernardino Valley College Business Center to attend the event held in response to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order to Confront the Youth Vaping Epidemic. The executive order states that the Department of Public Health (CDPH) is to launch a $20 million statewide digital and social media public awareness campaign to educate youth and parents about the risks associated with vaping nicotine and cannabis products. CDPH will also be developing media that discusses those risks, specifically where these products are being sold as well as on any smoking product advertisements. According to the office of CA Governor Newson, “Vaping devices are the most commonly used tobacco product in California and more than 80% of highschool teens who consume tobacco use a vaping device. Of the California teens who consume tobacco products, 86.4% report using a flavored tobacco product. There are over 15,500 e-liquid flavors, some of which have proven to cause significant health effects.” Community Coalitions for CHANGE is a coalition established in 2010 that has been working to help reduce underage drinking, smoking, and other drug use among their communities in the cities of Bloomington, Colton, Grand Terrace, Rialto, Muscoy, and San Bernardino. The most recent project addressing the epidemic of vaping among youth started with the powerful

This free workshop will be held on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at 6 PM in Kellogg Room B at the Feldheym Central Library, 555 W. 6th Street in San Bernardino. Attendees will learn tips and tricks to calm anxiety and to communicate more effectively. It is suited for ages 16 and up. The Second City Training Center was founded in the mid-1980s to facilitate the growing demand for workshops and instruction from the world famous The Second City theatre. The Second City Training Center in Hollywood is CSUSB bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored.

voice of an 11-year-old girl named Margareth Gonzalez who is a student at Terrace Hills Middle School in Grand Terrace. Her biggest concern was that youth did not know what was actually in the vapes they were smoking, and that they thought it to be safe and harmless. Margareth also began to realize that she was surrounded by inescapable clouds of smoke and wondered if she was the only one who felt that way. Margareth became concerned about her generation and how they would be affected for years to come. She wanted to do more and create change in the community. Three months into the school year she proposed to her principal a new prevention club at school that would help address issues such as the dangers of vaping and other drug use, she was granted approval of the club, and held her first club meeting with more than ten attendees, all within the first term of the school year. When asked “why” by several people in the audience, her response remained the same each time - “I want to help create a safe and healthy environment for as many

kids as I can, and help as many of them escape the vape.” The event held last week covered the dangers of vaping and what is found in vapes. “This event was a great opportunity for the community to come together and learn about the issues of vaping. Having a lot of youth show up and seeing so many of them willing to learn and share their experiences was an amazing thing to see” said Elena Zermeno, youth leader and student at San Bernardino Valley College. The purpose of this event was to create a safe space to address the concerns community members had on the current youth vaping epidemic, provide education and resources on the subject, and how the community can get involved. “The Escape the Vape event was very inspiring due to how many youth filled up the room. It's very empowering to be in a room where the youth are on the same page in relation to the efforts you are trying to make in your community. Seeing all the youth encouraged tells us to not give up and continue our efforts in our

The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools also presented a Certificate of Excellence to the SBCUSD to mark the occasion, as did Laura Mancha from County Board of Supervisor Josie Gonzales’s office with a Certificate of Recognition. community. It is like a chain reaction, if the youth see that you can achieve your goals then they are more likely to get motivated to want to follow in those footsteps. Escape the Vape was a great eyeopening experience and demonstrated that we truly are not alone in this effort, we have community, agencies, youth, and a lot of others who are here to support us,” said Maria Ximena Vasquez, youth leader and member of Community Coalitions for CHANGE. This event was put on by Mental

Programs of study include improvisation, comedy writing, acting & scene study, stand-up, clowning, music improvisation, and teen and youth courses.

The two holidays did originate with similar afterlife beliefs, but are very different in modern times. Halloween began as a Celtic festival where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts, but has recently turned into a tradition of costume wearing and trick-or-treating, according to a Day of the Dead website.

SB Librar y pr esents Veteran Tommy Ander son

uthor Tommy Anderson will be coming to the San Bernardino Public Library to discuss his new book, Haboob Wind on Tuesday, November 5 at 6 PM. Haboob Wind is a military thriller, which has been optioned with Global Edge Pictures and is currently in preproduction. ABOUT HABOOB WIND: It’s 2021, 20 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America and celebrations to the heroes and survivors are suddenly disrupted by a long-planned terrorist attack within the U.S. An Electronic Pulse Weapon (EPW) missile attack along with a ground terrorist assault is launched at a Southern California military installation — supported by thousands of sleeper cell members, who camouflaged themselves into the fabric of American society as patriots working in trusted positions in the government, law enforcement, FBI and CIA. The invasion, called Haboob Wind (a violent Arabic dust storm), is orchestrated by a radical jihad army formed after the U.S. pulled out of Iraq in 2011. A vintage strike force, led by veteran military officers, is called on to defeat the terrorist group. In an epic battle of good versus evil, Anderson confidently showcases the resourcefulness and patriotism of our veterans to protect our life, liberty, and freedom against all odds of modern warfare.

Anderson, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, is a retired veteran (active duty and reserves) with 23 years of experience in several military organizations including the U.S. Army, Army National Guard and Air National Guard. After his military retirement he spent 25 years in public service as a police deputy and dispatcher, firefighter and medic. Anderson serves on the board of directors for US4Warriors and recently was named Chief Operating Officer of its offshoot, Veteran’s Publishing, Inc. Anderson is a Colonel in the Commemorative Air Force, working with aviation museums promoting and speaking about living history. He is also a life member of the American Legion, Veteran of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, 32nd Infantry Division Association, International Association of Firefighters Alumni Association, and U.S. Air Force and U.S. Air National Guard Fire Chief's Association and an award winning photographer and artist. This free program will take place in Kellogg Room B at the Feldheym Central Library at 555 W. 6th Street in San Bernardino. Books will be available for purchase.

Impunity -- “exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action…” In Mexico, “impunity” describes political/criminal peccadillos at all levels of government, local, state and national. In the U.S. the word is rarely used. Corruption exists in local, state and federal government--fact, but some people are caught and convicted. Impunity is a word we can now apply to the White House and its scattering appointed minions. It is as disgusting in the U.S. as it is in Mexico. Armed bandits are brazenly robbing drivers on busy federal highways. Thieves are tapping petroleum/gasoline pipelines owned by the government’s Pemex with impunity. Roving soldiers “protecting” the pipelines are never present when criminals tap pipelines for hours. Towns run out of gasoline because it is stolen by roaming gangs. Tanker trucks are hijacked. The Army and nascent National Guard are helpless, or is it worthless, while crime happens all around them. Many areas of Mexico are so crime-ridden the U.S. State Department issues warnings to American travelers to stay away from those areas. That is the same United States Department of State that itself is manifesting a new American impunity patterned after the traditional criminal political impunity of next door Mexico. Through the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, officials of the State Department, have been ordered to ignore requests from the United States Congress for documents and testimony on issues relating to the Ukraine and involvement there of former Vice-President of the United States Joe Biden’s son. If not a criminal act, this Pompeo order should be held in contempt of Congress Though no criminal activity of said American son of the then VicePresident has been revealed by any investigation, the U.S. President has publicly called for investigation of a former American elected official who happens to be running for President. Ah, politics… Ah, impunity... This writer is familiar with political and legal impunity. I was not

quite three years old when I was expelled from my country by a corrupt Mexican government led by General/President Manuel Avila Camacho. His 1940 opponent, the popular highest-ranking Mexican Army general in Mexican history - Juan Andreu Almazan, was supported by this writer’s great-grandmother. For that “crime,” the entire family was expelled from Mexico when my federal congressman father, a rising political star of the ruling party of President Manuel Avila Camacho, died in a car accident. Within 48 hours of his death the family was bundled into a train and taken 1200 miles to the U.S. border at El Paso, Texas. Welcome to the United States, a blessed country governed by the rule of law. Now the U.S. President is acting like President Manuel Avila Camacho of Mexico or his predecessor President Lazaro Cardenas. His secret police arrested former President Plutarco Elias Calles and his number two, Luis Napoleon Morones, in the middle of the night without charges. They were flown to and dumped into exile at the San Diego, California, airport still in their pajamas and slippers. While they were being dumped in the United States, Cardenas declared gambling to be illegal and for anyone earning money off of prostitution to be guilty of a crime. Moral reasons for Cardenas’ anti-gambling and pandering decrees: None. It happened that Calles and Morones owned the ten-year-old horse racing track and adjoining large casino in Tijuana Mexico, a thousand yards from the U.S. border and its gambling and other activities banned in the U.S. Cardenas simply wanted to cut off cash Calles and Morones recieved from their ownership of gambling and prostitution on the border. That was impunity Mexican style. Now we have impunity American-style by President Donald J. Trump. In defying Congress’ demands for documents and testimony by subpoenaed government officers, Trump is defying the people of the United States and the “rule of law.” How? By not recognizing or acting under the Constitution of the United States. Calling or treating “whistleblowers” as “spies” and “traitors,” Trump violates political and legal decorum demanded by the Constitution. Presidential impeachment? Yes. For those who obey the President’s order to ignore Congress, cut their jobs from next year’s budget, including the White House staff. Refuse a subpoena, lose your job or work for “free” like Ivanka or Jared. Easy.

vision of how to better society as a whole. We have common ground with a recipe for love, laughter, the American dream. The one issue that we differ, divides us and spoils our perception of “love thy neighbor.”

For me, I look past selfish division and relish my successes through infinity vision: one’s ability to climb a mountain side with-

puzzle.

Our forefathers were not burdened with founding a nation. They envisioned a nation for the purpose of free men, unbounded by tyrants, kings & queens, without the tax of a dictator. No one’s man’s views particularly from the beginnings of a silver spoon in mouth to now a caviar fork, resemble my vision for a modest fu-

Senate drug plan helps government, hurts patients Nancy Pelosi has a plan to lower drug prices. The Speaker of the House just released a new bill that would impose a slew of new taxes and allow the government to meddle with private businesses. We've come to expect this type of extremism from Pelosi and House Democrats. Unfortunately, Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee have put forward a strikingly similar plan. Like Pelosi's bill, the Senate package would impose new taxes on innovators. While this plan would save the government money in the short-term, it wouldn't do anything to reduce patients'

out-of-pocket costs. And over time, it would make it harder for researchers to develop new cures. The Senate Finance Committee's package would restructure Medicare's "Part D" prescription drug benefit. Right now, 45 million Americans rely on Part D for drug coverage. Rather than administering the benefit itself, the federal government subsidizes private insurers who sell Part D plans to patients. These insurers compete for beneficiaries' business by offering quality plans at affordable prices. As a result of this competition, average monthly Part D premiums

are around $32 -- half of original Congressional Budget Office projection. And nine in 10 seniors are satisfied with their Part D coverage. Unfortunately, the Senate Finance Committee is willing to compromise this successful program to generate some short-term savings. For instance, the bill would penalize drug companies who raise their prices in Medicare faster than the rate of inflation. This policy is supposed to prevent drug companies from raising prices. But in reality, it would encourage manufacturers to launch medicines at higher list prices, raising costs for beneficiaries. The bill would also impose a 20 percent manufacturer tax on drugs sold in Medicare's "catastrophic phase." Currently, once Part D beneficiaries spend $5,100 out of pocket, the government and their insurer pay for 95 percent of each drug they take. The Senate bill would shift a majority of that burden onto manufacturers. This would cost biotech firms $55 billion over the next decade. Just like the "inflation penalty," this new tax won't help patients. If the 20 percent manufacturer liability takes effect, 98 percent of beneficiaries won't see their outof-pocket costs drop. Some could even see their pharmacy bills go up. These policies would also siphon money away from the search for new treatments. It takes more than $2.6 billion, on average, for scientists to bring one new drug to market. Research firms rely on revenue from successful drugs to fund future endeavors. The Senate bill's new taxes would cut into drug makers' ability to recoup research costs and earn a return. That means more than 4,000 drugs currently being developed for Alzheimer's, cancer and other diseases could die in the lab. There's no doubt that the Senate Finance Committee's plan would deliver short-term savings to the government. But it would do so at the expense of medical progress, without helping patients at the pharmacy counter. Andrew Langer is President of the Institute for Liberty.

Words to Think About: Dinosaurs Empire for about 178 million years.

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

first became interested in dinosaurs while watching Spielberg’s movie Jurassic Park. I was so mesmerized about them, I expected to see them when Stella and I visited Costa Rica. The second movie ended with two raptors making it to the Costa Rican jungle. Since then I’ve learned that the Jurassic Period was 201 million years ago. Dinosaur remains have been found on every continent, including the Antarctic. Scientists have estimated 1,500 species have existed in the world, but 500 species have been confirmed. Paleontologists estimate that dinosaurs first appeared around 243 million years ago. That was during the Triassic Period, followed by the Jurassic Period. They dominated our earth. Except for Australia and South Africa. Homo Sapiens (you and me) first existed about 200,00 years ago. The dinos became extinct around 65 million years ago. That means they roamed around the Inland

lowed the dinosaurs to expand and they dominated the Earth. They increased for 150 million years and then the asteroid hit 65 MYA(Million Years Ago.)

Approximately 65 million years, an asteroid crashed on the State of Yucatan in Mexico. It was 185 miles wide. The initial crater was 30 miles deep. It has been named Chicxulub because that is the nearest small village in Mexico. The immediate result was the extinction of the dinosaurs, or most of them. Incidentally there are many dinosaur museums scattered around the U.S. One of the nearest to us is in St. George, Utah. A few years ago, Stella and I visited an original field in Utah. A farmer, while digging his farm dug up scores of dinosaur fossils-mainly feet. Today the State has built large facilities to tell the story of the discovery. Back to the Yucatan. After all these years there are still evidences of a drastic effect in the Yucatan terrain. The shrubbery and trees are obviously smaller than other parts of Mexico. Also, there are cenotes in evidence. These are deep craters throughout the state. The Mayans used them to sacrifice virgins to their gods. The cenotes are deep and have a wide circumference. In the last 100 years there have been many scientists that have surveyed the terrain in and around the Chicxulub area. The latest is Dr. Sean Gulick, from the University of Texas at Austin.

The next paragraphs are extremely important. They affect each of us. Sixty five million years ago the asteroid hit. The earth was mostly destroyed: the sun was blackened out; dinosaurs, other living things were gone; except for a few dinosaurs. Homo Sapiens (you and me) are only 200,000 years old. COURTESY PHOTO

“As renters of the California Theatre, we are subject to the availability of the venue,” said Symphony Executive Director Dr. Anne Viricel. “So last year when we found December wasn’t available to us, we decided to expand the concept of holidays outside those that generally occur in that month.”

So, on November 16 at 7:30 p.m., the California Theatre will be filled with the sound of celebratory music from a variety of special days. Audiences will hear excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker along with Bloch’s Schelomo: Hebriac Rhapsody for Solo Cello and Orchestra. In the same half, they will hear Elfman’s Nightmare Before Christmas, and America’s Got Talent vocalist Angelio Garcia will perform Lopez’s Remember Me from Coco. In the second half of the performance, Ms. Holliday will reprise some of her best known Broadway songs, including And I am Telling You and I Am Changing from Dreamgirls.

The result was an eclectic blend of beloved music from Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas. And within this repertoire decision process came a holiday gift for all: featured performances by Broadway vocal legend Jennifer Holliday and virtuoso cellist Lynn Harrell. “Can you imagine a more excit-

January 18, 2020 brings American Legacy: A Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. featuring soprano Lettrice Lawrence, bass-baritone Bradley Baker, and tenor Jacob Lusk, along with the powerful sounds of the Selah Gospel Choir. February 22, the Symphony will perform Cirque de la Symphonie bringing awe-inspiring acrobatics choreographed to Classical music to the stage alongside orchestral musicians. A March 15 matinee will highlight works by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, and Grieg, including a solo performance of Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto by Maestro Parnther. The season will close May 2 with From Stage to Screen, a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood with movie scores from Bernard Hermann and a tribute to Judy Garland by Emmy-nominated vocalist Angela Ingersoll. These concerts will all be held at the historic California Theatre of the Performing Arts, 562 W. 4th Street, San Bernardino. Concert tickets – including money saving “Second Chance Season” tickets and a “Select Three” option - are currently on sale and may be purchased at www.sanbernardinosymphony.org or by calling (909) 381-5388.

Mental Health Spotlight

How to convince an addict to get help right away By Stan Popovich

here are many reasons why people who struggle with drugs and alcohol do not get the help they need to overcome their addictions. Some family members who see their loved ones struggle may have a difficult time in getting their loved ones assistance. Here are six suggestions on how to convince a person struggling with alcohol or drugs to get help.

help they need to get better.

1. A family intervention could work.The most popular way to get someone the help they need is to do a family intervention. This is when family members and an interventionist get together with the addict to tell them how they love them and wish that they get some help. The person who is struggling listens and hopefully they become convinced to get the help they need.

3. Use the services of a professional or a former addict. Try to find a professional or even a former addict who has “Been There” to talk to the person. A former addict could use their experiences to try to reason with the person. These experts are usually trained and can use a proactive approach into trying to convince the addict to get help.

2. Talk to the person on what will happen if they do not get help. Another way to convince the person who is struggling with alcohol or drugs is to get someone who is an expert on addiction and have them do a one on one talk with this person. This expert on addiction should explain to the addict what will happen if they do not get the

4. Find out the reasons why the person won’t get help. Ask the person who is struggling with alcohol or drugs to list 3 reasons why they will not get help. Once you get the answers, WRITE them down on a piece of paper. Note: Fear and Frustration are huge factors for the person not getting help.

5. Determine the solutions to those barriers. Once you get those 3 reasons, get a professional or an expert to find the solutions to those issues that are preventing the person from getting help. The goal is to find ways that will help the person overcome their reluctance of getting help. Once you get the answers, the next step is to explain to the person who is struggling what you came up with. Hopefully, this may convince the person to get some help once you address their reluctance of getting treatment.

Meeting Er nie Johnson at Inside The NBA on TNTs 30th Anniversar y Media Luncheon

PHOTO CADEN CENTER

Aspiring broadcaster and community writer Caden Henderson sits down with Ernie Johnson, host of Inside The NBA on TNT.

ast week, I was lucky enough to attend Inside The NBA on TNT’s 30th year anniversary media luncheon. I had a great time and was able to interview Ernie Johnson while there. The afternoon started with a discussion on stage from the four analysts of the show, Shaq, Kenny “The Jet” Smith, Charles Barkley, and of course, Ernie Johnson. They discussed what makes the show great - how anyone can throw an idea out there, from a director to someone bringing in the food, and it can be used in the show! How they feel they have changed a little bit of the NBA’s culture. And, it’s true. With the extremely high rise of basketball popularity, and decline of other sports, the TNT crew has taken the sports world by storm. Even if you don’t like basketball, as the group said, you can still watch the show, and have a few laughs. After the group discussion I was given the opportunity to interview the long time host of the show,

Ernie Johnson. For those who don’t know, he is incredible. He and his wife have biological children, as well as children they have adopted, including sick kids in foreign countries, such as Romania, who, without them, wouldn’t be here today. He is also a cancer survivor and just a great host. He told me about how many memorable moments the show has given him. When I asked him advice to aspiring broadcasters like me, he mentioned his dad and how he followed in his footsteps. His advice was to just be yourself. Lastly, I had to ask, is another book coming? His first book, Unscripted is a MUST read (seriously, if you haven’t read it, find a way to get it). He said when he has the time he would love to, it’s just about getting what is in his head to paper. I can’t wait for when he releases that second book. Overall, the luncheon experience was great. As a Laker and NBA fan, seeing three basketball legends and a legendary host was an unbelievable experience.

6. Talk to the person instead of talking at them. Nobody wants to be lectured. Be honest with them and tell them that it will require some hard work on their part but that they can get better. The person who is struggling is scared and they need help in overcoming their fears and resistance to getting help. Always try to address the barriers that are preventing the person from getting treatment.

Loma Linda University Cancer Center launches breast pain clinic that combines medical and psychologic treatment The clinic is first of its kind in the nation to create a multidisciplinary approach

Quarterback Jeremy Moussa completed 38 passes for 636 yards and seven touchdowns as the Wolverines beat the Dons 80-48 Saturday night at SBVC Stadium. Moussa threw passes to 10 different players, with six different receivers scoring touchdowns. The 636 yards surpassed the school record for passing yards in a game, previously set at 495 yards in 1991 by Richard Robles. Moussa's seven touchdown passes also ties Armando Herrera for most in a single game, which Herrera completed twice in 2018. And the 38 completions also set a new mark, besting Jamie Sander's 1994 mark of 33. But it wasn't just the Jeremy Moussa show Saturday night. Running back Darrell Turner Jr. scored three times, gaining 106 yards on eight carries on the night. In all, the Wolverines ran 90 plays, gaining 792 yards - itself another record, besting the 1991 team's mark of 673 set against East Los Angeles College. Things were far from perfect for

the Wolverines on the night. The defense allowed Santa Ana to gain 448 yards on the night, allowing the 48 points. And SBVC had troubles keeping flags off the field in the game, committing 25 penalties for 320 yards. Single Game Records Set: Most Completions: Moussa, 38

Loma Linda University Cancer Center launches new clinic to offer holistic approach to treating breast pain.

oma Linda University Cancer Center has created a breast pain clinic that combines medical and psychological interventions to treat the common condition experienced by women — the first in the nation to create a multidisciplinary approach to breast pain management. The clinic incorporates the use of a medical treatment plan to treat physical pain while using one-onone and group therapy sessions with stress management tools that can unearth underlying stressors causing breast pain. The clinic also educates attendees on the definition, causes and remedies of the condition. Some 70% of women experience breast pain in their lifetime, yet only 7% of women with breast cancer have breast pain as their first symptom, according to the breast pain clinic co-director and

director of Loma Linda University Cancer Center Breast Health Center, Sharon S. Lum, MD. Yet many women believe their pain is due to cancer and end up in an oncologist’s office. To save women time and offer them the resources they need, Lum partnered with clinical oncology therapist Gabriela E. Gutierrez, PhD, LMFT, to launch this clinic. “When someone gets stressed, they can get headaches or even stomach aches, yet people rarely know that there is such a thing as breast aches,” Gutierrez says. “We have seen amazing results from women who work to decrease their stress and subsequently experience a decrease or disappearance in their breast pain.” “Healthcare is increasingly moving toward integrating psychology and medicine to treat the whole person,” Lum says. “When I saw the influx of patients coming to

see me — a breast surgeon — about breast pain, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to marry both practices.” Patients like Suzzanne Kozma have reaped the benefits of this unique collaborative treatment. Kozma started experiencing breast pain in March 2018 and observed the stressful turn of events in her life increased the pain she felt. Since attending the clinic, she has felt substantial improvement and now urges every woman to learn about this condition she said left her feeling isolated. “I felt so alone in my pain until I showed up to my first support group full of a large group of women,” Kozma said. “I share all that I learn with every woman I come across and encourage them to attend the clinic.” To learn more about the clinic, call 909-651-5438.

SBVC Foundation Board President Beverly Powell said the foundation is honored to partner with the college’s athletics department to laud the achievements of SBVC alumni and former student athletes. “The opportunity to showcase some of Valley College’s best 'success stories' not only helps the Foundation raise funds necessary to help students achieve their dreams – but events highlighting our alumni also help inspire our current SBVC students to envision their own success and believe their own dreams are possible," said Ms. Powell. On Friday, November 8, the Alumni & Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony runs from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. The event will be held at the San Bernardino DoubleTree Hotel.

Many of the student athletes who come to Valley have faced tough times, but they are overcomers. They are thankful, respectful and proud to be here. I loved working to help them ‘make their dreams come true,” he said. To read the current list of SBVC Athletic Hall of Fame inductees, visit www.sbvcathletics.com.
