undreds of families spent the day celebrating and remembering deceased loved ones at Mt. View Mortuary & Cemetery on Saturday, Nov. 3 during the 5th annual Dia De Los Muertos Altar Of the Dead Competition. According to Mt. View Mortuary General Manager Connie Monge-Anderson the event aims to educate the community about the tradition that surrounds the Day of the Dead. “It’s an opportunity to show how rich the culture is, and the passion we have for our loved ones,” Monge-Anderson said. “It was so (gratifying) to see families together creating meaningful altars, and that the younger generation is maintaining tradition.” Mt. View will be hosting a candlelight Service of Remembrance on December 6 at 6 p.m.

SB students should apply now to attend Richardson, Rodriguez, Chavez IB program next year

an Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) parents whose children will attend middle school next school year have several options. They may decide to let their children attend their home school, or they may apply to have their children attend the very successful Richardson PREP HI Middle School or Rodriguez PREP Academy Middle School or the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Middle Years Program at Chavez Middle School. Students must be eligible to apply. All applications to participate in these programs for the 2019–2020 school year must be completed and post-marked on or before November 27, 2018. Applications may also be dropped off at the SBCUSD Secondary Education Department, 4030 Georgia Boulevard in San Bernardino, before 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 27. Richardson has the distinction of being a Gold Ribbon School Award winner and a two-time National Blue Ribbon school. Students attending this school are not placed according to attendance boundaries. Eligible students must apply to attend Richardson PREP HI, and only students who meet the criteria will be entered into a lottery. Rodriguez PREP Academy serves students in grades four

through eight with a rigorous curriculum and educational philosophy. Rodriguez was named a California Distinguished School in 2011 and its students have consistently scored above state targets on standardized tests. Rodriguez also offers the School of Engineering and Design, which prepares students for college programs and careers in science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) fields. All Rodriguez students have the opportunity to take elective classes such as robotics, computer science, modeling & design, and forensics. Fourth- and fifth-grade students attend Rodriguez based on the school’s attendance boundaries. Eligible students must apply to attend in grades six, seven, and eight. The I.B. Middle Years Program at Chavez offers students a world-renowned education which can lead to earning the internationally recognized I.B. Diploma. In addition to all of the required I.B. middle years classes, Chavez also offers the I.B. Design Class, which exposes students to coding, robotics, and the application of 3D printing. Students who successfully complete the I.B. Middle Years Program at Chavez will be better prepared to enroll in the I.B. Diploma Program at Cajon High School or Arroyo Valley High School.

Parents of eligible students may submit applications for their child to attend one or all of these programs. Admission will be determined by a random lottery drawing of all qualified applicants. Even if a child’s name is drawn for multiple programs, each child will only be accepted into one school. To qualify for admission in any of the programs, students must live within the San Bernardino City Unified School District attendance boundaries. They must also have earned Standard Nearly Met or better in both English-language arts and math on the most current California standardized test, have no more than 15 unexcused absences during the prior and current school year, maintained acceptable behavior during the prior and current school year, and been promoted to the next grade without consideration. The random drawing will be held on Thursday, December 13, 2018, at the SBCUSD Professional Development Center, located at 4030 Georgia Blvd. in San Bernardino. The drawing times will be at 4 p.m. for Chavez I.B. Middle Years Program, 5 p.m. for Rodriguez PREP Academy, and 6 p.m. for Richardson PREP HI. Students and parents need not be present at the drawing. Parents will receive official letters with their child’s lottery number.

ARMC receives award from American Hear t Association, American Medical Assn.

rrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) has earned national recognition from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) for helping patients get their blood pressure under control, and thereby reducing the number of Americans who have heart attacks and strokes each year. By participating in the AHA’s Target BP Recognition Program, these awards celebrate the achievements of both the Medical Center and Family Health Centers in educating and helping the patients they serve. An official presentation will take place at 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, during ARMC’s Stroke Summit taking place at ARMC. The AHA Target: BP™ Participant Award has been presented to ARMC’s Stroke Program and also to the Fontana Family Health Center. This award recognizes practices to reduce the number of adult patients with uncontrolled blood pressure. The Target BP Gold Award has been presented to the Westside Family Health Center, recognizing practices that have 70 percent or more of their adult pa-

tient population with high blood pressure controlled. In addition, the Check. Change. Control. Cholesterol Gold Award has also been presented to ARMC’s Stroke Program recognizing a commitment to improving Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVC) and having 70 percent or more of their adult, at-risk ASCVD patient population appropriately managed with Statin therapy. High cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke, and the No. 1 and No. 5 killers in the U.S., while nearly half of all U.S. adults have high blood pressure. In recent years high blood pressure has tripled among men under 45 and doubled among women in the same age group, according to the AHA. It is important to check blood pressure regularly since many people with high blood pressure don’t even know they have it. High blood pressure is often symptomless and can be a “silent killer,” leading to an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and other health problems.

Contrar y to SCNG opinion piece, San Ber nardino City not str uggling, rather, showing economic growth homeownership. The City, through hard work, and difficult but strategic decisions made by past and present-day staff, employees, electeds and residents alike, emerged from bankruptcy in June 2017 and has been financially solvent since. A plan of adjustment to pay back creditors was enacted and we have been meeting all requirements.

n October 26, 2018, Southern California News Group's Orange County Register ran an Opinion piece titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Southern California cities start public banks, taxpayers should prepare for massive bailouts,â&#x20AC;? in which the author stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the City of San Bernardino recently spent five years in bankruptcy and is still struggling to pay creditors and get back on track.â&#x20AC;?

lawsuit. This is because a broad range of stakeholders, including federal, state and local governments, renewable energy developutilities, tribes and ers, environmental groups, came together over eight years to develop the DRECP. Fast forward to 2018, and the DRECP is it opened up by the Department of Interior, who manages much of the public land that the Plan encompasses. The explanation for this action is murky at best, but what we do know is that San Bernardino County and others will bear the consequences if the plan is opened up and rewritten. Back In 2013, the County of San Bernardino received a Renewable Energy Conservation Planning Grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop the Renewable Energy and Conservation Element as part of its General Plan. The $1.1 million grant provided an opportunity to the County to address renewable energy on private and Countyowned lands in parallel with the

DRECP. Section 4.10 of the Element is still being decided and will control whether industrial scale solar energy plants are allowed to devastate local communities. This Element of the General Plan relies on DRECP in many ways. Reopening the DRECP process will destabilize the hard-won balance of the current plan and could hurt our local efforts to plan for industrial scale renewable energy. Moreover, it will open the plan up to new battles, redundant rounds of study, and waste many more years and tax dollars. When the state and counties put cash on the table, we expect results, not uncertainty. The federal government should stand down and allow California to move forward with this sensible, collaborative plan that aligns with San Bernardino Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for a clean energy future. Otherwise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money down the drain. BarBara Chavez Rialto Planning Commissioner

San Bernardino County is investing heavily to advance clean energy goals that are compatible with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to reduce the use of fossil fuels while balancing community concerns. After ten years of work, countless hours of County staff time and well over a million dollars worth of taxpayer money spent, the federal government is now threatening to upend all of this investment by throwing out Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan. The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) is a ten year old effort that seeks to balance renewable energy development with conservation concerns on 11.5 million acres of state and federally owned public land. San Bernardino County, whose boundary constitutes 53% of the DRECP planning area, is one of seven counties participating in the effort. While no plan of this size is perfect, DRECP has settled many of the battles over industrial scale renewable energy across the California desert and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been subject to a single

I have had zero problems with my thyroid. I cannot feel or see anything in my neck. My energy levels and weight have been fine. I have felt great. Yet, there is this report from two different doctors that they see something that could become very problematic and the recommendation is surgery. The first doctor did give me the option of surgery or we could watch it and do occasional biop-

sies to track the growth of the nodule. I have not heard many success reports of anyone who has simply watched something get worse. A great friend of mine was told by local doctors that they would watch his prostate malignancy. They all watched it as it continued to grow and kill him. Having surgery does not excite me. I hate the thought. I don't like the idea of having a surgery that has some potential of harming my vocal chords. I've been a speaker for most of my life. I like being able to raise my voice and even yell if I want to. In recent years I have taken back up my hobby of singing. Trust me, I know it's just a hobby but it's a hobby I enjoy. If I lost my voice I know I would be a sad guy because I've been down just thinking about all of this. However, it could happen. What happens if I lose my voice or if it's greatly altered? First I will be royally ticked off. Next I'll try to deal with what will have to become a different life. I've preached sermons and taught and given speeches and used my voice in such ways all my life. God already knows I'll use whatever He gives me to praise and thank Him for his goodness toward me. Next, I'll do what I can. I have a

book or two I'm thinking about writing. I'll work on those books. I started taking fiddle lessons two years ago. Maybe there is a reason I'm playing the fiddle. I don't need a voice to play the fiddle. Finally, I'll have a good excuse to avoid talking to some people. I'll just wave my hand and nod my head to indicate I can't talk today. Oh well, who knows what the heck we will have to go through in this life. I have friends who have already undergone heart surgeries and lots of other procedures. We aren't promised a bed of roses without a few thorns along the way. My first wife went through hell with twelve years of multiple sclerosis. There is no need for me to sulk about losing my thyroid. Hah, who knows maybe I'll end up with vocal chords that might actually sing on tune or a voice that people will listen to. All in all it doesn't really matter because whatever we have in health, life and time are gifts from God to be enjoyed and used for Him and to help others along life's journey. Experiencing life is a gift and that's a rose I want to smell in some way every day. Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 12 books. His syndicated column is read in all 50 states.

Words t o T hink Ab out : Nat ional ism on th e ris e nomic, political and cultural spheres as a means to promote the wellbeing and superiority of a given nation.” The word was first used in the 18th century. The French and American revolutions triggered the new age of nationalism. Their new nations prompted a new idea emphasizing-Capitalism.

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

he word Nationalism has become very popular in recent days. Its meaning has a variety of significances. Most often it is equated with the word Globalism. Basically, if you know the meaning of one of them, the other word is the opposite of it. While the words are relatively new, the ideas they represent are old-ancient. Prior to the Roman Empire, history is rather sketchy. But I recommend two that give a vivid and accurate account of the Roman events. Edward Gibbon’s book, “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire”, and Will Durant’s book; “Caesar and Christ.” According to the Internet, Nationalism is defined, “Historically, Nationalism has used the eco-

Napoleon led France and Bismarck led Germany in 1871. The emphases of their nationalism were: 1) a strong sense of national identity, 2) and record superiority and 3) democratic priorities, and 4) and a strong belief in national isolation. Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin capitalized the subjugating individuality of their citizens in favor of their nation’s needs-economic, military and new traditions. A unique expression of the Roman Empire’s sense of nationalism is described in Gibbon’s and Durant’s books. Whenever new tribes, groups of new ethnic people-like Saxon, Scandinavian, Semitic, African, were conquered they would organize a group of Romans (families, businesses, varied occupations, religionists) and send them to the newly dominated areas and indoctrination in

the Roman ways. Thus, the Nationalism of Rome was enlarged. Further examples of the spread of nationalism was the Nazi party in Germany and the religious value of suicide in Japan and the idolization of Mussolini in Italy. Nationalism is on the rise among the following countries: Putin and Russia, India and Nagendra modi, Great Britain and its withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) and the United States with Donald Trump’s emphases. Trump’s motto, “Make America Great Again,” is an example of his move toward Nationalism. Further examples are his threats to withdraw from NATO and his criticism of NAFTA. His constant conflicts with Canada and Mexico, as well, illustrate the move toward isolation. This is expressed in “ethnic singularity,” such as white supremacy and racial discrimination. The views of the KKK as expressed through David Duke is an example of Nationalism. The support given by those that supported the “pro-Nazis at Charlottesville is an example of Nationalism. GLOBALIZATION is

Caden’s Cor ner A gua Ca liente Clippe r s Ope ning Night - Fun & Fr e ebies

his past Sunday the GLeague Agua Caliente Clippers hosted their opening game against the Oklahoma City Blue. It was a lot of fun and not just basketball! The festivities started right as you walked through the door as they were giving away free, limited edition opening night shirts for the first 1,500 fans in the arena. These shirts were very nice and made a sea of red for the game as fans wore them right away. A great intro video kicked the game off.

Next, the classic shooting challenge for one fan was given after the end of the 1st quarter. If they made three free throws and a 3point shot they could win ten thousand dollars! Sadly, this time the contestant failed. But someone will definitely achieve that 10K as the season goes on! Half time had a BIG surprise in store that no one saw coming. The Clippers announced their new mascot KC (short for Kid Condor) who is the little brother of the NBA Clippers mascot Chuck.

The rest of the game featured KC "learning" from his big brother! We saw KC pull out some dance moves, and a trampoline dunk, which earned everyone a free KC hat when they exited the game! This plus a performance from the Clippers Spirit Dance team made for an entertaining half time! The 2nd half was all basketball. The Clippers stayed in it until the end, but the Oklahoma City Blue proved to be just a bit better down the stretch. Overall, the Agua Caliente Clippers may have lost the game, but the night was for

the obvious alternative to NATIONALISM. According to the Internet, it is defined as, “The integration of national economics through trade, investment, capital flow, labor migration, and technology.” In reality, its meaning is much greater than that. Its philosophy encompasses much more than the aforementioned four objectives. Globalization results with the elimination of barriers between countries in projects, economies, trade and tariffs. The best word is cooperation. It does not imply the elimination of land barriers. NATO is a prime example. It was founded in 1949, the end of World War II. Today there are 29 countries that belong to it. The United States has relied on its cooperation often. In recent years they have supported the troops in Iraq. Afghanistan and Syria. They also have provided air strips for American planes: anchor ports for American ships; space for barracks for foot soldiers; etc. NATO has been the buffer for military threats from various threatening sources. The U.S. has responded to hurricanes, tornadoes, and epidemics like Ebola. sure a win! If you are looking to watch some basketball that will be entertaining to the whole family - an Agua Caliente Clippers game is for you!

Globalization. NAFTA has provided economic growth for Mexico and Canada, all because of the U.S.A. global attitudes. Our banks have stabilized many of the NATO countries through perilous times. Both are expressions of globalization. A major example of globalization is the proliferation of businesses. I’ve eaten McDonald’s hamburgers in Switzerland, England, France plus many more countries. Even Israel and China. My final addition to the contributions of globalizing is religious. The advance of universal missionary programs has advanced greatly in recent years. To my knowledge, the MAF Missionary Aviation Fellowshiphas contributed a service to hundreds of countries. Formerly located in Redlands, it currently is based in Boise, Idaho. In Mark 16:15, Jesus says, “Go into ALL the world and preach the Gospel to every person.” Globalization. Amen. Selah. So be it.

Footsteps to You: Chattel Slaver y Exhibit inspires at San Ber nardino County Museum

By Shelby Horton an Bernardino County Museum has opened a new exhibit on November 1st titled “Footsteps to You: Chattel Slavery.” The exhibit is a detailed exploration of the practices on the history of slavery and racism while also highlighting heroes of that time such as Harriet Tubman. The exhibit was featured in the gallery at the entrance of the museum. The open space allowed museum-goers to wander from piece to piece; the room was filled with a pulsating silence. Each person young and old looked intently at the history pieces before them, this included signs promoting Jim Crow Laws and racial slurs, literature written by those who lived through this experience, and replica chains that slaves would have worn while being sold. Seeing the item visibly left a mark on those who entered the exhibit. But despite the somberness that must be remembered with the horrors of the past there was a piece that stood in the middle that sym-

bolized hope. In the center, on a large white wall decorated with words in black that read, “Throughout history, brave people have made the choice to stand against oppression. How will history remember you?” The white wall was decorated in colorful post-it notes ranging from all the colors of the rainbow, adults and children alike wrote what they wanted to be remembered for by history. Some wrote that they wanted to be remembered for having a kind heart, standing up for what’s right or IECN PHOTO SHELBY HORTON “becoming the first female presiHernandez, Colton resident, posts her response on the wall that provokes museumEmmelyn dent.” Even a toddler tried their goers to reflect upon what they would want to be remembered for. best to write what they hoped to be remembered for one day.

“I will remember reading those words on the post-it notes and feeling that there is still hope in this world,” said a resident of Colton. “Sometimes it's literally written on the walls.” This interactive piece called upon museum-goers to think not only about the transgressions of the past but to look towards hope in the future.

Dr ones invading the Inland Empir e, know the regulations By Manny B. Sandoval

ith the holidays right around the corner and drones continuing to gain more recreational popularity than ever before, it’s important to understand Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations in your area. The FAA has reported that it receives over 250 reports of drones flying near airports every single month, which has the potential to cause harm and even death to those flying in the sky. “If we impact a drone, now we're going to have 5,500 pounds of aircraft with 130 gallons of jet petroleum coming down into a residential neighborhood," said Los Angeles Police Department Pilot Kevin Cook, in a statement released earlier this year. There are many tools drone users can use to ensure safety while flying. “I would recommend new recreational drone users to look into www.knowbeforeyoufly.org or www.faa.gov. Also, read the drone laws for the city and state that you’re flying in,” said Anthony Vargas, Inland Empire recreational drone user. According to www.knowbeforeyoufly.org, the recreational IECN PHOTO ANTHONY VARGAS use of small, unmanned aircraft Drone User, Anthony Vargas, abides by FAA regulations to capture an image of the Mission Inn, in systems (sUAS) is the operation of Riverside. an unmanned aircraft for personal interests and enjoyment. For example, using a sUAS to take photographs for your own personal use would be considered recreational; using the same device to take photographs or videos for compensation would be considered a commercial operation. Commercial drone users will need to obtain a remote pilot certificate from the FAA. The only exception to this policy is for recreational users abiding by the safety guidelines provided by Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). “I think having commercial drone users register their drone with the FAA is a very wise move. It keeps us drone owners respon-

sible and holds us more accountable on how and where we use our drone,” continued Vargas. In the past…and still today, drones have caused much concern to law enforcement. “The biggest concern with drones is safety,” said Sergeant Dan Futscher, San Bernardino County Sheriffs Pilot. “All airspace in the United States is controlled. The Federal Aviation Administration has regulations for drone operators. As long as you are flying your drone within guidelines, it’s a safe hobby.” Safety and following state and city regulations are key when flying a drone. “There are a lot of people that own drones who are very aware of the drone laws in each city and are also very careful about where they fly their drones. But there is also a small group of drone users who seem not to care about the regulations and the people they can potentially injure if they fly irresponsibly,” Vargas said. “All we want people to do is abide by what the FAA is asking them to do, so we can all be safe,” concluded Futscher. Vargas said that when he flies his drone he always makes sure to read and educate himself on the drone regulations in the city he will be flying in. “I also make sure that there isn’t anyone close by when I’m taking off or that I’m not flying too low where there are large crowds of people; and also staying away from airports,” Vargas said. Aside from the Inland Empire, Vargas has flown his drone in Santa Barbara, Big Sur/Carmel and even Northern Ireland. “I currently use my drone as a hobby that I’ve grown to love. In the long run I hope to be able to do this as a part-time job or even fulltime…taking photos or video for companies or special events,” concluded Vargas. For more information on drone regulations, visit www.knowbeforeyoufly.org.

onors from across the region and beyond gave $239,203 to 107 nonprofits in just 24 hours during Give BIG San Bernardino County. Now in its fifth year, Give BIG San Bernardino County has raised more than $1.5 million for over 333 local organizations in every nonprofit sector, from the arts, environment, veteran services, health, seniors, education, and so much more! “Donors throughout San Bernardino County proved once again they have big hearts for Give BIG and we thank them for supporting our local nonprofits and charities,” said San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Robert Lovingood. “We’re also proud of the nonprofits for embracing training opportunities and learning new skills in the buildup to this campaign, which has helped them expand their donor base and raise more money to improve their services throughout the county.” "In 24 hours, San Bernardino County came together for a day of generosity that illustrates how much the people in San Bernardino care about keeping our region strong," said Michelle Decker, President and CEO of The Community Foundation. "What’s

really exciting is that the platform remains open for people who wish to continue supporting these nonprofits year round.” In total, 4,682 donations were made. Amounts range from $5 to $8,600. The largest gift was given to The Unforgettable Foundation in Redlands. Friends of Big Bear Valley received the greatest number of donations (1,014). Morongo Basin Humane Society raised the most money ($18,140). Thanks to funding and support from the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors and the contributions of generous supporters, Give BIG San Bernardino County also provided valuable training to nonprofits in the use of social media, cultivating relationships with donors, media/marketing, and raising much-needed funds from online donors. “The training received throughout the campaign has been invaluable,” said Sandy Smith, Executive Director of Copper Mountain College Foundation. “Additionally, the camaraderie among non-profits is priceless. The support, sharing of ideas and just having someone in the same situation keeps us motivated and reminds us why we do what we do!”

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.

eadership from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Highland Fire / CAL FIRE, and City of Highland along with students from the Public Safety Academy of San Bernardino kept a long-time firefighter tradition alive by pushing in the City’s newest fire engine. More than two dozen people participated in pushing the new fire engine into Highland Fire Station #2, preserving a tradition that dates back to when fire equipment was drawn by horses. The new engine was made possible with a 2017 grant from the Tribe that also included self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA’s), new EKG heart defibrillators and other rescue equipment. “We are grateful for the opportunity to once again work on a government-to-government basis with the City of Highland and CalFire to provide this beautiful new fire engine and equipment that will not only save lives in our communities but also protect the safety of our

fire-fighters.,” said Lynn Valbuena, chairwoman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. As part of the inaugural ceremony, 19 students from the Public Safety Academy were given a private tour of the firehouse and joined CAL FIRE / Highland firefighters for a ride along on the new engine. The academy is a charter school at the San Bernardino International Airport that provides hands-on training to prepare students for careers in public safety. “Highland Fire Department is very excited and thankful to have received this grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians along with our cooperative relationship. These vital pieces of equipment will further enhance our Fire and Paramedic services within the City of Highland, and to the San Manuel Casino and Reservation,” said Chief John Toon, CAL FIRE Battalion Chief for Highland City and East Valley.
