Molina Healthcare celebrates community volunteers

olina Healthcare of California honored five exemplary volunteers with a trophy as well as a $1,000 grant at the 12th Annual Community Champions Awards Ceremony on April 26 that included dinner, entertainment and an award presentation. One of those honored is San Bernardino resident and a phenomenal young leader, Vanessa Perez. While serving as an intern at Time for Change Foundation, she volunteered her time off to volunteer with the organization’s Homeless Empowerment Leadership Project, twice a week for six months. Vanessa helped organize trainings in the park for 75 members of the community living in unsheltered conditions. She has also served extensively at Way World Outreach Church, where she has volunteered 12 hours a week since 2006. Vanessa has assisted in feeding over 10,000 homeless families, supporting the children’s ministry weekly and providing mentorship to 75 young women who are struggling with self-esteem and peer pressure.

Assembly member Eloise Reyes-Gomez recognized Vanessa on her list of 30 community leaders under 30. Other award recipients are:

James McPherson, a compassionate and dedicated leader at Path of Life Ministries, helping the homeless rebuild their lives so they can achieve their goals. James has helped more than 100 clients with resume writing and job coaching, and has given support to more than 100 individuals in the emergency shelter and dedicated over 2,500 hours of service over the last two years.

Isabella Orozco, an impressive junior honors student in the Health Science Academy at Chino Hills High School. As a student ambassador-elect at her school she has inspired many of her peers. In the coming school year, she will be coordinating health seminars, bringing in healthcare professionals to serve as guest speakers and attending healthcare focused events.

Group holds peaceful protest outside DA’s office

Connie Edwards realized the lack of programs available to support low-income families after moving to Moreno Valley from Pasadena in 2016. Connie established the Community Wellness Center at Creekside Elementary School. The school based family center offers free services including onsite dental and medical care, as well as case management. She

also started a program called Happy Feet to provide shoes for children in pre-K through high school. Connie works with community partners through Operation Gobble Gobble to provide thousands of families with turkeys and canned goods for Thanksgiving. She also collaborates with partners through the Adopt a Family Program to purchase clothes and shoes.

community leaders, organizations and voters gathered outside san Bernardino county District Attorney Mike ramos’s office last Wednesday, Apr. 25 to express their disappointment that the DA was unable to meet with them to discuss justice issues at a townhall meeting. the group’s spokesperson indicated they were able to speak with the DA’s representative and believe positive changes will be effected.

dedication and commitment demonstrated by the Citizens Advisory Committee and volunteers who helped rewrite the city’s constitution.

During the most recent Strategic Planning Workshop comprised of the community, City Manager, department heads and the mayor, new goals were identified that include improving public safety, growing the economic value of the city, improving government opportunities and perception, and increasing housing options.

Davis reported that public safety is the city’s top priority, citing the San Bernardino Police Department’s faster response times, enhanced community engagement and outreach, and the hiring of 35 new officers by the end of 2018.

Infrastructure was another priority Davis mentioned, one that he maintains creates a clean and attractive community. The city’s receivership program has rehabilitated 33 homes with 28 more that are in the process. Davis commended the Public Works Department for fulfilling

projects at a faster rate than the city has witnessed in recent years. Davis outlined some of the infrastructure improvements that occurred between July 2017 and February 2018 – 1,600 potholes filled, 500 streetlights repaired and over 2,400 trees were trimmed.

Additionally, the city’s unemployment rate dipped from 12.3% in 2013 to 5.1% as of March 2018. The employment base increased 9,500, bringing the total number of jobs in the city to 81,000.

Other highlights Davis outlined include the extended UPS contract with San Bernardino International Airport that will serve two UPS freight cargo flights daily which has piqued the interest of other carriers; city libraries served over 226,000 patrons over the past year; Trader Joe’s announcement of the opening of a distribution center; a new mixeduse development in the Verdemont area that will consist of 120 family homes; and nine new tenants downtown.

“The city is setting the stage for the transformation from hopelessness to opportunity, where we are fostering hope and investing in the future,” Davis asserted.

In conclusion Davis asked the audience to envision the future of the city, a model and thriving city, that capitalizes on its location, diversity of residents and economy that offers a broad range of choices for how residents live, work and play, characterized by high quality education, community health, arts and culture. “We are poised to launch a safer, more prosperous community,” Davis concluded.

he San Bernardino County Museum will celebrate their third annual May the Fourth event, Friday, May 4, 6 to 8 p.m. in honor of what popular culture has dubbed “International Star Wars Day.” The science-based, hands-on party underscores the imagination and fun of the Star Wars science fiction phenomenon and will feature an exciting appearance by members of the Inland Empire Squad of the Southern California Garrison, 501st Legion in full trooper regalia. Guests are encouraged to arrive in their own creative costumes.

May the 4th is informally recognized as Star Wars Day, as the date provides an easy pun, first coined in 1979, on the Star Wars phrase “May the Force be with you.” The museum’s third annual event will also feature StarLab, a portable planetarium with views of the galaxy, DJ Eturnal spinning space and Star Wars themed dance music throughout the night, a photo booth, and themed scavenger hunts. Light refreshments for the whole family will be hosted by the San Bernardino County Museum Association. The Inland Empire Squad of the Southern California Garrison,

According to the group’s mission, “Nothing professes your passion quite like building your own detailed costume replica of a classic Star Wars villain, and there's nothing quite like the feeling that comes from bringing the characters of Star Wars into the real world and sharing the magic with others.” Museum Director Melissa Russo said, “Over the last two years we’ve had increased attendance at this event, not just because it relates to a beloved movie series, but because the innovation and storytelling in the series is profoundly engaging to a broad community of sci-fi enthusiasts. We’re honored, and a little terrified that the 501st Legion will be joining us this year, which includes the likes of Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers and possibly Darth Vadar him-

The name William Paley is not commonly known. However, in my opinion he is right there with Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. His style is similar to the style of Jesus. Jesus used birds, lilies, coins, and sheep to illustrate truths. Paley used a watch - a timepiece.

He was born in July in 1743 and died on May 29, 1805 at age 65. He was an English clergyman, a Christian apologist, a philosopher, and a utilitarian. He is best known for his natural theology and his argument for the existence of God, rather than several gods. He made use of the watchmaker analogy. He was born in Peterborough, England and was educated in Gig-

Caden’s Cor ner

LeBron James shows why he’s the King

he most exciting two words in sports, especially the playoffs: Game Seven. This game seven has the Indiana Pacers going up against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs and it was a great matchup. The underdog Pacers, led by breakout star Victor Oladipo, had shocked the basketball world by taking Lebron and his Cavs to seven games. Game seven was a back and forth game and both team’s superstars showed up. Oladipo dropped 27 points, 6 assists and achieved a double double through his 12 rebounds. But it wasn’t enough against King James. Lebron had 45 points going off he also put up 7 assists and 9 rebounds as he single-handedly carried the Cavs to the game 7 win. This game was awesome but also showed the weakness of the Cavs. They face the Toronto Raptors next round for the 3rd straight year, having won the previous two series. All this really proved that the East is up for grabs this 2018 playoffs.

Of great interest to American historians was his strong vocal and literary support for the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. Of particular note is that Paley and Edmond Law were good friends. In fact, Law pushed Paley in 1785 to write the classic book, Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy.

In the book, Paley strenuously supported the abolition of the slavery trade. He influenced the thinking of Englishmen regarding slavery.

It was at that time his writing became popular. In particular his book, Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity. By the way, Charles Darwin was a friend and supported Paley’s views.

Before I present the major reason for Paley’s prominence, it’s important to place Paley’s place in the pantheon of prominence.

Sir Isaac Newton and Rene Descartes “were among the leaders in the scientific revolution that upheld the physical laws that William Paley had uncovered, re-

vealed the mechanical perfection of the workings of the universe to be akin to a watchmaker, wherein the watchmaker is God.”

As previously mentioned, Charles Darwin was a contemporary and he endorsed Paley. So did Richard Dawkins, the famous evolutionary biologist. Particularly, he often praised Paley for his strong and logical belief in God as the supreme Designer. Even though Dawkins is an atheist and opposes creationism.

William Paley’s watchmaker analogy is basically a teleological argument. It is a Greek word meaning “end” for telos and a “logos” which means the study of, and in this case, it refers to science. It also has a sense of a moral obligation.

His argument played a prominent role in natural theology. Basically, it was the watchmaker analogy that was used, “To support argument for the existence of God and for the intelligent design of the universe in both Christianity and Deism.”

His analogy was couched in a story. In his unique account he described a person walking through a forest. He accidently finds a watch and wonders about its origin. Did it accidently come there because of its parts falling from the sky; they just appeared com-

pletely by chance and accident.

OR, was it dropped there; that it was the product of a designer. Someone had organized it, planned it all as an engineer would. In other words, it had a designer. The application was that as the universe is organized with certain laws, such as the law of gravity. All of space, earth, animals, plants and humans were the result of a designer, God. The laws of gravitation and of motion (Newton and Kepler) combined to establish the regularities of heavenly and earthly bod-

ies. Monotheists suggested, “Just as watches are set in motion by watchmakers, after which they operate according to their pre-established mechanisms, so also was the world begun by the God as the Creator, after which it - and all its parts have operated according to their pre-established natural laws.” As a minister (Ret.) and a wouldbe theologian, I appreciate the William Paley analogy. I wish I had learned about the analogy seventy (70) years ago. Amen. Selah. So be it.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates victor y over France

inco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Cinco de Mayo 2018 occurs on Saturday, May 5. A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.

Cinco de Mayo History In 1861, Benito Juárez—a lawyer and member of the indigenous Zapotec tribe—was elected president of Mexico. At the time, the country was in financial ruin after years of internal strife, and the new president was forced to default on debt payments to European governments. In response, France, Britain and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz, Mexico, demanding repayment. Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico and withdrew their forces. France, however, ruled by Napoleon III, decided to use the opportunity to carve an empire out of Mexican territory. Late in 1861, a well-armed French fleet stormed Veracruz, landing a large force of troops and driving President Juárez and his government into retreat.

The Battle of Puebla Certain that success would come swiftly, 6,000 French troops under General Charles Latrille de

Lorencez set out to attack Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. From his new headquarters in the north, Juárez rounded up a ragtag force of 2,000 loyal men—many of them either indigenous Mexicans or of mixed ancestry—and sent them to Puebla. The vastly outnumbered and poorly supplied Mexicans, led by Texas-born General Ignacio Zaragoza, fortified the town and prepared for the French assault. On May 5, 1862, Lorencez gathered his army—supported by heavy artillery—before the city of Puebla and led an assault.

How long did the battle last? The battle lasted from daybreak to early evening, and when the French finally retreated they had lost nearly 500 soldiers. Fewer than 100 Mexicans had been killed in the clash. Although not a major strategic win in the overall war against the French, Zaragoza’s success at the Battle of Puebla on May 5 represented a great symbolic victory for the Mexican government and bolstered the resistance movement. In 1867—thanks in part to military support and political pressure from the United States, which was finally in a position to aid its besieged neighbor after the end of the Civil War—France finally withdrew. The same year, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, who had been installed as emperor of Mexico in 1864 by Napoleon, was captured and executed by Juárez’s

forces. Puebla de Los Angeles was renamed for General Zaragoza, who died of typhoid fever months after his historic triumph there.

Cinco de Mayo in Mexico Within Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is primarily observed in the state of Puebla, where Zaragoza’s unlikely victory occurred, although other parts of the country also take part in the celebration. Traditions include military parades, recreations of the Battle of Puebla and other festive events. For many Mexicans, however, May 5 is a day like any other: It is not a federal holiday, so offices, banks and stores remain open. Cinco de Mayo in the U.S.

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is widely interpreted as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with substantial Mexican-American populations. Chicano activists raised awareness of the holiday in the 1960s, in part because they identified with the victory of indigenous Mexicans (such as Juárez) over European invaders during the Battle of Puebla. Today, revelers mark the occasion with parades, parties, mariachi music, Mexican folk dancing and traditional foods such as tacos and mole poblano. Some of the largest festivals are held in Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.

Confusion with Mexican Independence Day Many people outside Mexico mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican independence, which was declared more than 50 years before the Battle of Puebla. Independence Day in Mexico (Día de la Independencia) is commemorated on September 16, the anniversary of the revolutionary priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla’s famous “Grito de Dolores” (“Cry of Dolores”), a call to arms that amounted to a declaration of war against the Spanish colonial government in 1810.

May 5 concer t celebrates Cinco de Mayo with a Califor nia twist

he San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra will return to the historic California Theatre of the Performing Arts May 5 for the fifth installment of their widely-praised 2017-18 concert season. The upcoming performance will present music and dance from North and South America in a “Cinco de Mayo Celebration” under the baton of Maestra Sonia Marie De Leon de Vega. “We are thrilled to present the community with this very exciting finale to our 89th season,” explained Symphony Board President Dean McVay. “This region’s roots span geographic borders, and we felt a concert that celebrated this diversity would be both an appropriate and uplifting tribute.” The concert celebrates the regional blending of cultures that characterize the celebration of Cinco de Mayo in the U.S. The performance will open with two pieces by Aaron Copland: Selections from Rodeo and Ballet for Martha, also known as Appalachian Spring. Appalachian Spring was originally written as a ballet, so the Symphony has partnered with the Inland Pacific Ballet to emphasize and accentuate the old west feel of this music. The second half of the concert will take the audience from cowboys to caballeros. It will open with Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla’s sultry Tangazo, followed by traditional folk tune Huapango by José Pablo Moncayo, then two pieces by Arturo Márquez: the elegant
