S

an Bernardino residents Gary Ferrer and Ivan Resendez have spent many years recognizing the christmas tradition of Las Posadas. The tradition portrays Mary and Joseph traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem to find shelter for the birth of their son Jesus.

Despite attending well organized celebrations in the past, Ferrer and Resendez acknowledge the need for an event that resembles the culture in Mexico and other parts of Latin America.

It’s why the Posada to be held at the St. John’s Episcopal Church on Dec. 16 will be a “massive event” filled with folkish art and dance performances to make the larger

community feel like they’re back home, said Ferrer and Resendez.

“Many people haven’t gone back to their homeland for years,” explained Ferrer. “We’re hoping to provide these people with good memories.”

Posadas annually take place on each of the nights leading up to Christmas Day. The nine days repPosadas, cont. on next page

hey’ve battled back to beat a few opponents and overcome injuries throughout the season. Despite some adversity, the Aquinas High School varsi-

ty football team are making their championship run look easy.

Since their heartbreaking 33-32 CIF Championship game loss to Long Beach St. Anthony’s last season, the Falcons (13-0) have outscored their regular season and

playoff opponents 686-99.

Nonetheless, Aquinas head coach Jordan Brusig isn’t taking Friday’s CIF-SS Division 9 championship lightly. He said his team’s game at Ridgecrest Burroughs will be CIF, cont. on next page

Branding Iron, Catholic Charities ser ve Thanksgiving dinner

By Ricardo Tomboc

C

atholic Charities partnered with Bill Thomas, owner of the Branding Iron in San Bernardino to provide approximately 850 Thanksgiving Day meals. Catholic Charities Director of Family & Community Services Beverly Earl noted it took as many as 200 volunteers to pull off the event. Volunteers came from community organizations, churches, and on their own accord to serve the massive feast.

Along with the meals program, Soonie Fitzpatrick has been organizing the clothing and shoe giveaway at the Branding Iron for the past 14 years.

Many seniors, families, and homeless came to enjoy the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal.

Most of the guests were from the immediate area; however, some came from the City of Highland and at least one senior citizen said that he came from Running Springs.

Posadas resent the nine months that Mary was pregnant with Jesus.

Typically those who roam house to house re-enact the part of Joseph--asking for a place to stay-while those inside the home recite the part of the innkeeper, saying there is no room. They will continue back and forth a few times until the innkeeper decides to let them in on the ninth day.

The hosts will open the door and everyone goes inside to be served pozole, tamales, atole, or ponche.

The Posada being orchestrated

by Ferrer and Resendez will be slightly different. Residents will not be walking from door to door, as is done in Mexico and Latin America, but will instead be treated to a special performance of La Cancion Para Pedir Posada (Song To Ask For Shelter) by Ferrer’s Baile Folklorico group.

“Everyone knows that special song,” Resendez chuckled, while singing portions of the song. “But Gary and I want to make it special.”

San Bernardino Fine Arts Commissioner Sandra Ibarra, who will be helping with other posadas across town, believes holding the

celebrations will help residents connect with each other.

“Having had the chance to previously walk in these streets, in a time of high crime, I see that not many neighbors know each other,” Ibarra explained. “They keep to themselves. Posadas are a chance for the community, neighbors, and families to come together.”

Ferrer and Resendez agree that it’s important to bring joy and happiness to an otherwise desolate community.

“People are struggling,” said Resendez. “It doesn’t cost anyone a penny to attend and perhaps bring happiness to themselves or their kids.”

community. The shelter operates year-round and volunteers are constantly needed. Call the Salvation Army Corps offices for information on volunteering in the community 909-888-1336.

CIF another stern test they will have to overcome.

“This is the reward for all the work that they’ve done,” Brusig said. “We’ll see what happens. We can prepare the only way we can.

We’re going to control what we can. The rest is in god’s hands.”

Aquinas will be led by seniors Branden Rankins, Joshka Gustav, Shalom Baafi, and Marceles Gooden.

Rankins, the team’s star running back and the County’s all-time rushing leader has a total of 1,834 yards for the season. He had 17 rushes for 142 yards in CIF-SS Division 9 semifinal win over Cypress last week. Every victory the Falcons have earned has brought them a step closer to a championship, expressed Rankins.

“We’ve been preparing for this game since summer,” said Rankins. “Each opponent has taught us something different about our team. We’ve set goals and have set to accomplish them each week.”

Gooden, who plays as a defensive back for Aquinas, admitted

The four captains said it was a difficult experience losing by a close margin in last year’s championship. That experience has served as their motivation to practice harder and play better.

“It just wasn’t meant to be for us last year,” Gustav said.

Aquinas High School football head coach Jordan Brusig speaking to his team following their practice on November 28. he’s not taking Burroughs lightly and will be pouring everything on the field on Friday.

“When you’re 13-0 it’s easy to get cocky,” he said. “It’s the finals. We have to continue to play like we’ve been playing.”

“Every practice we’ve gone out with a purpose now,” followed Baafi. “It’s like we’re searching for those two points that we were short.”

The Falcons are competing every day in the weight room and on the field, despite what critics say about their supposed “easy” route to CIF Championship.

“If teams don’t want to compete with us, we’re going to do it within ourselves,” Gustav remarked.

The team captains believe there’s a reason why they’re back in a championship.

“God has blessed us with the opportunity we’re in,” said Rankins.

“Most teams and players don’t have the opportunity to make it to a final. We’re here to seize the moment.”

Free nutrition and health education workshops at SB librar y

T

he San Bernardino Public Library will be offering free nutrition and health education workshops at the Feldheym Central Library at 555 W. 6th Street in San Bernardino. The next workshop will be held in Kellogg Room B on Saturday, December 9, 2017.

The workshop will be held in English from 2:00-2:45 PM and in Spanish from 3:00-3:45 PM. The workshops will cover: · How food impacts our health (diabetes and heart disease) · Ways to improve your nutritional choices for maintaining a healthy weight · “Good fats” vs. “Bad fats” · The misconceptions of “health foods” · What all healthy diets have in common Workshop presenter Henry Duran said “I am passionate about nutrition and health education, as I grew up very overweight. Through educating myself in nutrition and other healthy lifestyle changes, I

lost about 50 lbs. I have been physically fit and at a lean weight for many years. I was raised in San Bernardino, graduated from UCR in 2011 and relocated to

Oakland, CA. I am a former Health Education Specialist with SBCUSD. My experience includes service with Community HealthCorps in the San Francisco

East Bay. It was in this community clinic that I gained practice in a variety of quality health education programs, including one-onone counseling with patients

regarding nutrition, weight-loss, and diabetes. I am pursuing medical school so I can improve the health and well-being of my community as a physician.”

OPINION&LETTERS Let the spirit of giving last throughout the year

Maryjoy Duncan

I

n this issue we feature several organizations that have shown their generosity and spirit of helping those less fortunate. Churches, non-profits, public and private agencies at various venues served thousands with traditional Thanksgiving fare.

Christmas is around the corner and there are countless efforts underway for toy and food drives to distribute to the underprivileged.

But what happens after the holidays when the spirit of the season has waned? Those who suffer from homelessness, poverty and food insecurity remain in their challenging predicaments.

I have to say that San Bernardino County has an impressive network of resources available to provide support to the underserved, and I encourage those of you who can, to align yourselves with one of them and become involved during the year - either with your time, money or both.

Below is a mere sample of the various organizations in our community that welcome volunteers and/or monetary donations.

Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County works with communities to empower residents to achieve self-sufficiency and economic stability.

Programs include a Food Bank, Family Development (identifying and providing resources in the areas of affordable housing, employment and educational opportunities), and Energy, Education & Environmental Services (making homes energy efficient and lowering energy costs).

Volunteer opportunities exist at the Food Bank, with youth services, administrative support and

tax preparation - (800) 635-4618.

Mary’s Mercy Center in San Bernardino, serving the community since the mid-1980’s, provides hot meals six days a week, operates a food bag distribution program, offers free showers for men and women, provides help for mothers in crisis with infant needs and operates a transitional home for up to 30 women and their children, as well as re-entry homes - (909) 889-2558.

The Salvation Army Corps in San Bernardino prepares hundreds of meals on a daily basis, operates an adult rehabilitation center and homeless shelter (909) 888-1336.

The Tzu-Chi Foundation provides bags of groceries to SB school district families. It started as a monthly event, but it wasn’t until a school cafeteria in downtown San Bernardino was broken into last year that the severity of food scarcity was realized by the organization. This academic year Tzu-Chi has increased their food distribution to twice a month (909) 447-7799 ext. 602.

Seeds of Hope in Colton, established in 2007 as a home for men, has since expanded to distribute food to over 400 families, providing clothing, education and employment - (909) 856-0841. ************************ On a different note, there are upcoming parades scheduled for next Saturday, Dec.9: City of San Bernardino -Winter Wonderland Festivities with the 40th Annual YMCA Christmas Parade at 10:00 a.m. beginning at the corner of Highland and Valencia and ending at the east entrance of Perris Hill Park, where Winter Wonderland will run from 11 a.m.

- 6 p.m. Snow hill, Vendor Lane, live entertainment, cookies with Santa, static displays, games, crafts, and a Tree Lighting Ceremony.

City of Rialto - Holiday Parade and Vendor Fair. Parade starts at 10 a.m. at Foothill Blvd and ends at the Rialto Civic Center, 150 S. Palm Ave. The Fair will feature vendors, winter crafts and photos with Santa and will end at 2 p.m.

City of Colton & Chamber of Commerce - Christmas Parade & Christmas in the Park from 10 a.m.

- 1 p.m. at Fleming Park, 535 N. La Cadena. The Parade starts at 10 a.m. on the corner of O Street and La Cadena and ends at Fleming Park featuring live entertainment, vendors, food, fun zone and craft vendors.

Want Lower Taxes, Higher Wages, and Better Jobs? Fix Healthcare!

By Sean Flynn Inland Empire Economist The current Federal tax code runs to 74,000 pages—which makes it far too complicated to be effective, let alone fair. So when Congress announced that it was working on tax reform, I was excited by the possibilities.

Unfortunately, the proposals unveiled by Congress over the past two weeks have been very disappointing. There are some good points—like reducing the tax burden on millions of local businesses and increasing the standard deduction to help lowincome workers. But the proposals keep most of the complications while at the same time failing to deliver on middleclass tax cuts. Families making between $30,000 and $75,000 per year would see a net increase in their federal taxes of about $230 per year.

Things get even worse when we look at the proposed changes to the state and local tax deduction, or SALT. Under current law, taxpayers can deduct their local income, sales, and property taxes from their federal tax bills. In San Bernardino County, nearly 31 percent of federal tax filers utilize the SALT deduction. But the Senate bill kills SALT entirely, while the House bill limits it to just property taxes. So Congress is poised to eliminate or slash the only federal deduction that helps to compensate Californians for having to endure the nation’s highest state and local tax burden.

Once we consider the potential loss of the SALT deduction and the $230 tax increase facing middle-income families, the tax pro-

posals coming out of Washington look like a very mixed bag indeed. But it’s at this point that we need to ask: Why can’t Congress do any better? Why should anybody’s taxes have to go up at all? Why can’t Congress deliver on its earlier promises to slash taxes for all taxpayers?

The fundamental answer is that Congress has a spending problem. It can’t cut taxes for everyone without first figuring out a way to drastically cut spending.

So I would like to bring something new to the table. If you look at government budgets over the past few decades, they have been hit hard by skyrocketing healthcare costs. If you could get those costs under control, you would free up the money necessary to finance lower taxes for everybody.

Fortunately, there are proven healthcare reforms that can cover preexisting conditions and deliver universal access to highquality healthcare while slashing healthcare spending. If we implement them, we as a country could save over $2.1 trillion per year—enough to save Social Security, balance the federal budget, and still have over $1 trillion per year to finance anything from across-the-board tax cuts to increased spending on infrastructure and education.

As just one example of what is possible, consider what the State of Indiana has achieved with just one small adjustment to its Medicaid system of government-provided health insurance for those in need. By simply embracing free market principles through empowering participants, it has cut Medicare expenditures by 11 percent.

Compared with people on traditional Medicaid—who have no incentive to shop around—the participants in the Healthy Indiana Plan cut back on spending by nearly 35 percent without any reductions in preventative care or health outcomes. That reduction in spending is so large that it more than pays for the $1,100 per year each recipient is given in their health savings account.

Hence the 11 percent net savings compared to traditional Medicaid.

If the Healthy Indiana Program were rolled out nationwide, we would save nearly $60 billion per year. Additional reforms like price transparency, forcing insurance companies to compete, and freeing up the wholesale pharmaceuticals market would save over $2 trillion more.

So if Congress wants to get serious about tax reform, it should begin by fixing our incredibly costly and wasteful healthcare system. Unfortunately, our representative in Congress, Pete Aguilar, has stood on the sidelines for both healthcare reform and now tax reform. Aguilar’s refusal to engage on these important issues demonstrates that he’s either incapable of offering solutions or he believes Inland Empire families should pay more in taxes and be forced to suffer through mounting healthcare premiums and porous coverage.

Perhaps it’s both.

We need a representative in Congress who will offer innovative, bipartisan solutions that can influence the process and affect policy. Anyone can sit on the sidelines and complain, but in a region like ours that’s crippled by poverty, high unemployment, and over taxation, we need real leadership and real reforms.

After God created the mountains, oceans, plants and trees, birds, fish and animals of the field the Bible states God said, “let us make humankind in our own image.” The question is, who were the “us” and “our,” since hu-

Muscle tissue and bones are remarkably similar. Major organs like the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas, lungs, kidneys, stomach are amazingly alike. Whales and humans are also very similar in their anatomies. Whales give birth, breast feed, have vertebrae, breathing systems and sing to one another. The sperm whale has a brain the size of a V-W car.

I’m particularly fond of bonobos and gorillas. They have traits almost identical to humans. They mate with one of their species, they care for their young and nurse them and guide them in their habits and behaviors.

Back to Dr. Jill. I agree with her

liberal view that the “us” and “our” refers to God and the animals. In the book, “How Did the Animals Help God,” by N. Swartz, includes the following observations.

“Are you speaking to us?” asked the animals. “Yes,” said God. “I am speaking to all that I have created.” And so, the animals gave their advice. “Make them brave,” said the tigers. “Make them gentle,” said the lamb. “Make them loud,” said the lion.

“Make them quiet,” said the clam. Make them small,” said the ant. “Make them big, “said the cheetah. “Make . . . .slow. . . . slow,” drawled the snail.

ONE AFTER ANOTHER, ALL THE ANIMALS SHARED THEIR IDEAS OF WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE LIKE. “Let them swim,” said the fish.

“Let them sing,” said the lark.

“Make them playful,” laughed the dolphin. “With good appetites,” gulped the shark.

Then the Bible says, more or less, “Then God thanked all of creation for their gifts and wise

words. And in the image of God and in the image of nature, God created the animals. And God saw that they were very good.”

I would add three more animals.

“Let them be friendly and compassionate pleaded the puppies.

“Make them cuddly,” purred the kittens. “Make them wise,” said the owls.

A few years ago, when I was in graduate school and taking an advanced class in counseling; we were assigned the task of developing a system of therapy.

One person developed what he called “One-Minute Therapy.” He had three stages: 1. What’s your problem, 2. What are you going to do about it, and 3. Here are my suggestions.

In pursuit of the items in this article, I remember the system one of the students suggested. Each client was to identify with their favorite animal. Aggressive/bear, strong/elephant; freedom/eagle etc. The clients were to describe their personal traits and habits. I recall no one chose a cow-to be butchered for steaks.

The oneness that humans have with certain animals is applicable to what countries we identify with. We often focus on our differences, but all races have more in common than differences.

All people on earth love freedom. Slavery is unacceptable. We want to think for ourselves. That is one of the great benefits of our country. It is the essence of our Constitution.

We want a family. Togetherness is a basic hunger. Along with meaningful employment. To learn, to worship, to love, to choose, to plan and to be. Whatever else we are for, the basic one is the first one, FREEDOM One further thought. Two scenes we will never forget. A tiny childabout 3 years old, holding a leash of a large Doberman. She said, “sit”-and it sat. The other was a large man - my size - with a small Teacup Poodle in his hand. Unforgettable.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

James Hayes, Shareece Wright to be inducted into Colton Sports Hall of Fame

By Anthony Victoria

T

he Colton Parks and Recreation Commission voted to nominate former Colton High School teacher James Hayes and NFL football player Shareece Wright to the Sports Hall of Fame last week.

Hayes, who passed away in 1986, was instrumental in establishing intramural sports at several Colton Joint Unified School District schools where he taught social studies and government and coached baseball and basketball.

He was also responsible for creating the paramedic unit that is part of the city’s fire department.

he holidays are here. Having trouble gift shopping for your middle schooler?

Never fear, Caden’s here… and I am a middle schooler. Here are your middle schooler gift giving ideas: 1. Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch gaming consoles!

You can’t go wrong. Maybe even throw in a few games that go with them.

2. Gaming consoles not in your budget? You can find drones at Toys R Us or Target for a variety of prices.

3. Shoes and sports gear.

4. School supplies. For example, I am always losing my mechanical

According to Gary Grossich and Armando Castro, two of three individuals that helped nominate Hayes, the late youth mentor inspired a whole generation to become leaders in the city.

“He was like a second father to me,” Grossich expressed. “And we were like family to him. He’s had a major impact on our community.”

Castro said he met Hayes as a student at Colton Junior High in pencils. You cannot have too the early 1960s and still holds him many! in high regard.

5. iPhone or iPod. 6. Collectible action figures or comic books.

7. Sports cards - you can find these at card stores or the checkout line at Target.

8. Laptop or MacBook.

9. Fill a stocking with candy, cash, and homemade coupons… or coal, if they are bad.

10. Gift cards - think outside the box, instead of Target maybe Barnes and Noble (we have required school reading), ColdStone or Starbucks.

Happy shopping, gift givers!

“I consider James Hayes to be one of the undeniable ‘Heroes’ of Colton,’” Castro said. “His influence on generations of Colton youth still resonates today.”

Wright, 30, is currently playing as a cornerback for the Buffalo Bills. He's revered by both young football players and community leaders across the Inland region.

At Colton High School Wright was a standout player--rushing for over 1,000 yards and producing 68 tackles his senior year in 2005.

This past July, Wright and former high school teammate and current New York Giants free safety Nat Berhe held a free football clinic for youth at their alma mater.

Wright’s former coach Harold Strauss said he admires Wright’s willingness to give back to the youth of his hometown.

“We asked [them] to never forget where they come from and they haven’t,” said Strauss of Wright back in July.

The Sports Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled to take place in the Spring of 2018.

YMCA brings Thanksgiving spirit to community

By Fernanda M. Tovar

O

n Nov. 22, the Highland YMCA provided a Thanksgiving meal to over 300 people in the community as part of their “Operation Thanksgiving” event held in the facilities’ gymnasium.

Residents were treated to holiday music while they ate their meals and also had the opportunity to socialize with other families in their neighborhoods. The gym was set up with Thanksgiving decorations and string lights hung from side to side over the dinner tables.

“Here at the Y, we recognize that there are people in need,” said Executive Director Tony Ceresoli of the Highland YMCA branch. “It is through efforts of the city, the branch, and the volunteers that we try to make a stronger community.”

Jamila Coulson, the Wellness Director at the branch, said Stater Bros. donated 30 turkeys, and stu-

dent leaders from Pacific and San Gorgonio High Schools donated mashed potatoes, gravy, and pumpkin pie.

The teamwork of the volunteers gave the event a sense of home, explained Pacific High School Key Club Vice President. Students from both high schools fervently served plates of food and cleaned tables. Wherever they were needed, the volunteers were there to help, Todd said.

“By us coming together and volunteering, we can make a change in our community,” said Todd.

Resident Ericka Renteria and her three sons have attended events at the YMCA for two years. Renteria said they don’t have any family in the city so they were going to spend their Thanksgiving alone at home. The Renterias were thankful the center took the initiative to help them out.

“We feel a sense of welcome, security, confidence, and support here.”

O

n Thursday, Nov. 23, the Centro de Alabanza Emmanuel held its 6th annual Thanksgiving Outreach in the parking lot in front of DD’s Discount Clothing on 2nd Street in San Bernardino. The event started with a bilingual tent style worship service.

Several hundred people from the community came to enjoy the festivities, take advantage of the free food, entertainment, and nobody went home empty handed.

Pastor Kenyo Macias and Pastor Javier Gonzales organized the outreach where they personally handed out boxes of food to community members. Several booths provided games, crafts, face painting, free giveaways including new bicycles, and music from teen rappers. A mobile kitchen was handing out free prepared hotdogs by the bag.

Several bicycle technicians worked on broken bicycles that residents and homeless brought for repair. John Roller from Calvary Chapel Wildwood said that this was his third year working the event. Roller said that many vendors and bike shops donated tires and tubes, seats, pedals, and chains for the event.

Dr. Bryan Sowell physician at San Bernardino Medical Group, volunteered his time to oversee several nurses provide basic wellness checks and personally talked to each of the patients during the event. One lady walked up to the medical booth with bleeding wounds that she suffered after being attacked by a dog just hours before. In another instance, a lady named Teresa talked to Dr. Sowell in Spanish. Dr. Sowell did not hesitate to pray with Teresa and give her some comforting words.

At the dental booth, Dr. Lucky Lucero from Aloha Dental in San Bernardino was performing free dental examinations for the children and adults. Dr. Lucky is a San Bernardino native and has been serving the community for over 12 years.
