Light of the Wor ld ‘Hol y Supper’ brings thousands to Glen Helen for prayer By Anthony Victoria

Sweethear ts Dance 2018

housands were on hand at the Glen Helen Amphitheater Saturday for La Luz Del Mundo (Light of the World) Church's Holy Convocation opening ceremony. The four day event, known as the "Holy Supper", commemorates the death and redemption of Jesus Christ. This is the first year the Light of the World Church held its sacred ceremony in the United States. The church, first founded in Guadalajara, Mexico in the 1920s, has expanded to 53 countries and has about 7 million members. Over 100,000 people attended this year’s convocation from countries like Australia, Spain, and Vietnam. Spokesperson Benjamin Valle said San Bernardino was chosen as the destination for the “Holy Supper” because of the growing number of followers coming from California, where 12 percent of

residents came out to the Grace Vargas Senior center to show off their dance moves during the annual Sweetheart Dance last thursday, Feb. 8. Protest

Olivia Stryjewski, a volunteer with the RCAFB for about a yearand-a-half explained how the food bank rotates the available food supply by expiration date. Stryjewski retired from the Rialto Unified School District and volunteers at the Food Bank a few days each month helping to sort the canned goods and non-perishable items available to the families.

According to an Environmental Checklist form produced by County Planner Kevin White, the County is seeking to change the zoning on the land sitting on the corner of Laurel and Slover Avenues from residential to industrial to put up a 344,000 square-foot warehouse.

One mother fought tears away as she shared the story of her son-an asthmatic boy that suffers from severe breathing complications.

“You want to add more warehouses?” said Jessica Rodriguez. “You’re going to end up killing my son. If that does happen, you’ll be the first person I invite to the funeral.”

Members of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council have been critical of CCAEJ’s efforts. They say that they do not see the value in the property tax generation warehouse development provides to municipalities.

Recipients must have a student attending the Rialto Unified School District and be income eligible. There is an application process in which the family must show proof of residency, verify their income and have the principal of their child’s school sign a form verifying their attendance. At that point, the family is issued an ID card that allows them to take advantage of the RCAFB’s offerings.

Bloomington resident Thomas Rocha, who lives only several feet away from the Slover Distribution center, said warehouses will not bring any value to the area. It’s not that they don’t see the value in development, argued CCAEJ organizer Ericka Flores. “We have never been against development,” she said. “However, there are places for these ware-

houses to be built. It is not OK that the land use is being changed to industrial so close to homes.”

County officials told environmental advocates they would reach out for more input.

Another volunteer, Kathy Holm, explained that the program is run solely by local volunteers made up of various service organizations, church groups, teachers, and other staff of the Rialto Unified School District. “We are helped greatly by the Rialto Kiwanis, the Lions Club, Rotary and the Rialto Women’s Club,” said Holm. “We get several missionaries from the Church of the Latter-Day Saints that come to help. Donations are made to the Food Bank by Grace Lutheran Church, United Methodist and St. Peters Episcopal Church, too.”

U.S. members of the church are from. Naason Joaquin Garcia, who is known as the “Apostle of Jesus Christ” by followers, was on hand on to speak to the thousands of people that poured into the amphitheater. “Let us thank the lord for inviting us to this grand party,” said Garcia. “As you see, this is biggest party of all the earth. I’m certain the lord will continue to fulfill his promises in making this supper larger and larger. Soon, this entire nation will be filled with the word of our church.” The celebration evokes emotion in many of its followers. Many were yelping, singing, and crying when Garcia made his entrance into the amphitheater. Valle said that emotion is normal. “This is how they show their gratitude towards God,” explained Valle. “The crying is the manifestation of their soul.”

Holm had retired from the Rialto Unified School District five years ago and had learned during those years of how the Food Bank was helping local families. She decided to help out as a way of giving back to the community.

Rialto resident Maria Lopez dropped by with her daughter to pick up some pizza and sorted through surplus canned goods, taking what she wanted for her family.

“This is a really good resource,” said Lopez, “I found out about this place kind of randomly. I was walking by around Thanksgiving a year or so ago and saw families receiving turkeys. When I asked about it, they told me to put in an application for my family. I’ve been coming here when we can use a little extra help ever since then.”

“We know that there are more families in need out there,” said Holm, “and we know that sometimes it’s hard to ask for help, but if you live in Rialto, even if you’re homeless or going from place to place, as long as you have a student in a Rialto school, we’re here to help. We don’t want anyone going hungry in our city.”

Now - December 11, 2018 - the California State University San Bernardino Anthropology presents “In/Dignity” an exhibit aimed at exploring and dismantling intolerance through the experiences of Inland Empire residents. In/Dignity takes its title from a double entendre simultaneously reading as a single word - indignity - and two separate words - in dignity. These two meanings capture precisely what the exhibit examines: experiences with oppression, discrimination, bigotry, exclusion, stigma, and prejudice, and simultaneously the pride and self-respect that is necessary for everyone facing injustice. The Museum is located in the university’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences building’s third floor, room SB-306. The Museum is open 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Maryjoy Duncan

This morning as I sit here and ponder what on earth I should write about, it suddenly occurs to me that it’s Valentine’s Day. This is what I call a “Hallmark Holiday,” a commercial spectacle peddled to us by florists, greeting card companies, jewelry stores and makers of stuffed animals. This is the day out of all the days of the year that has been deemed THE day to profess and show our love for others. I think we show our affection to those we love everyday, and if we didn’t we should, but I digress. When people think of Valentine’s Day they conjure up images of candy and teddy bears, not of whipping women with dead animals or martyrdom - no, not very romantic. As I read more about this commercial holiday I’m learning that it has roots in the pre-Roman empire, pagan ritual known as Lupercalia. During this annual “festivity,” held February 13 - 15, goats and dogs were sacrificed at an altar by the Luperci (or “brothers of the wolf”). Following that people were “anointed” in the animals’ blood, wiped clean with wool soaked in milk, feasted and drank

themselves into oblivion. If that doesn’t sound peculiar enough the festivities would then take quite the turn - the Luperci took the skins of the sacrificial animals and ran around town naked, smacking people with it! There was also a matchmaking lottery during the festivities, cites Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The Catholic Church would eventually step in, under Pope Gelasius I, to replace the pagan holiday with St. Valentine’s Day in honor of two Christian martyrs named Valentine - Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. They were both decapitated. On Feb. 14 the Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus II executed them in two different years during the 3rd century A.D. The holiday gradually became associated with romantic love in Europe during the Middle Ages. Chaucer’s was the first instance that Valentine’s Day was linked to romantic love and not fertility or lusty context. And by 1415, people were writing handmade valentines to one another. In 1913, Hallmark Cards offered pre-made valentines, and in 1916 started to mass produce them. The day of romance was reborn as a commercial holiday. Since then, Valentine’s Day is not only about buying cards, but also about buying flowers, candy, jewelry, and scrambling, if you procrastinate, to get restaurant reservations. Love is still in the air, but the holiday seems to be more about “stuff” nowadays than romance. The carcass-slapping days of old seemed simpler! I hope you enjoyed this tonguein-cheek account of the origins of Valentine’s Day as much as I enjoyed researching it.

Another budget deal bites the dust

by Dr. Mark Hendrickson

Back in September I wrote about our “ethically challenged” democratic system. I said, “We are caught in a downward, selfdestructive [debt] spiral.”

If you doubted me then, those doubts should have been exploded last week. Congressional leaders agreed to increase federal spending by nearly $300 billion above the already-rising limits stipulated by the Budget Control Act of 2011, and President Donald Trump signed the deal into law last Friday morning.

We’ve seen this picture before: Congress and the White House feel a twinge of conscience, enact a law to end deficit spending, and struggle to adhere to it for a few years. Inevitably, though, political pressures to spend more become too great, the floodgates of federal spending are opened wider, and the anti-deficit law is swept away. Following are several earlier versions of this process:

1) Congress passed Public Law #95-435, The Bretton Woods Agreement Act, on October 10, 1978. Intended originally to amend the U.S. Treasury’s collaborations with the International Monetary Fund, Congress added Section 7. It explicitly states, “Beginning with fiscal year 1981, the total budget outlays of the Federal Government shall not exceed its receipts.” Voilà! End of deficits, right? Alas, if only... The actual federal government deficit for FY 1981 was nearly $79 billion. That was the last year until 1997 that the federal deficit was less than $100 billion.

2) Congress tried to legislate itself into fiscal responsibility again in the mid-1980s. It passed the verbosely named “Gramm-

Balance Rudman-Hollings Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,” followed by the “Balance Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987.” As already noted, those long-abandoned laws never succeeded in getting annual federal deficits below $100 billion.

3) The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (alternatively known as the “Deficit Reduction Act of 1993”) is sometimes given credit for the four-year interlude from red ink in FYs 1998-2001. (Actually, there were only two small onbudget surpluses in those years. In the other two years, the “surplus” appeared only by adding the Social Security surplus to the regular federal budget.) However, it wasn’t the 1993 act that achieved a short-lived reprieve from massive deficits. Instead, it was a one-time, never-to-be-repeated “perfect storm” of confluent events that I have explained elsewhere.

4) Another anti-deficit law was the plainly labeled Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Although the federal deficit did decrease for three years after the passage of this law, bottoming out at $160 billion in FY 2007, the financial crisis that started that year blew that law to smithereens as federal spending and deficits skyrocketed to as high as $1.4 trillion in FY 2009 (the year of the Obama “stimulus” plan).

5) The 2011 law that last week’s law supersedes did not even pretend to be working toward a balanced budget. It had the more modest goal of reducing annual deficits. Yes, the growth of federal spending slowed for a few years after FY 2011, and with the slow but steady economic recovery, federal revenues increased enough to reduce deficits. The deficit

bottomed out at $438 billion in FY 2015. Now, with last week’s law, both parties have consented to burgeoning deficits that could soon approach $1 trillion again. The lessons are clear:

First, no law, or even constitution, has the power to thwart the will of a people who don’t want to abide by that law.

Second, the political reality is that deficits are here to stay—at least, unless the financial system (and possibly the political system) blow up from the accumulating financial stress, although as hyper-indebted Japan has shown, such an absurd situation can persist for a surprisingly long time.

Third, neither of the two major parties can be counted on for fiscal responsibility. Democrats believe that the government should oversee economic activity, and so there is no limit to what they want to spend. Some Republicans understand there are economic and ethical reasons for limiting government spending, but ever since the Nixon presidency over 40 years ago, they’ve learned that the American electorate has no stomach for “austerity” or “belt-tightening.” Thus, when push comes to shove, their political survival instinct kicks in and enough Republicans will cave to public pressure and give the voters what they want—more spending and the large deficits that go with it. Given those partisan dynamics, red ink is here to stay and the mountain of national debt will continue to grow.

Wor ds to L ive B y: Fr ie nd sh ip an d the n at ur e o f bon di ng watching.

Suddenly a man scootered up and asked if he could join me. I agreed. About sixty years old, he was severely handicapped and was a quadriplegic. The waitress brought him a large coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. I watched with interest as he drank the coffee with a straw and spooned the cereal.

Dr. Bill Abersold

’m always looking for friends. I need them. They make my life better. I value them. New ones. Basically, because Father Time eliminates a few every year; others move away and distance seems to erode our relationship.

The basis for friendship is not determined by agreement of opinions; whether it be political, religion or sexual similarities. The bond of friendship is greater than any disagreements. Sickness and distance cannot erode the bond.

I’VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DETERMINES A BOND. Here’s an example. A couple of months ago I was sitting at a table at McDonald’s in the local Walmart. As my custom, I was reading, writing, snacking, talking a little and

Amazingly we hit it off immediately. He told me what he did for a living and his family. I did the same. We bonded within fifteen minutes. I’ve tried to figure it out.

We were both white-but it has occurred before with an Asian and black and a Hispanic. Separately, of course. He was educated; so am I. He was in business; I’ve retired.

He was knowledgeable; so am I. He’s not religious; I am. He doesn’t give a hoot about sports; I love them.

You won’t believe what just happened. I was doing my usual bit at Walmart, when a man smiled at me. We communicated and I invited him over. His name is Donald, he’s black, has only one leg, he’s about 60 years old. I’m 90 and white.

He lost his leg because of diabetes. He had neuropathy. Me too. He had a lot of pain. I have weakness. He has arthritis in his hands. I don’t. We are glad to be alive. We wish each other a Happy

Thanksgiving and hope to see each other again. Wow!!!

I’ve bonded with two men. One white, the other black. One a quadriplegic, the other with one leg. Both about 60. In spite of adversity both expressed gratitude for life.

History records the importance of friendship. Thomas Aquinas was inspired when he said, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than real friendship.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote these words, “The only way to have a friend is to be one.”

I particularly appreciate the ancient historian Euripides. “One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.” However, I believe that often our relatives are also very good friends.

Back to my subject. What contributes to bonding. It’s certainly not race. I say it involves similarity of experiences.

Such as the Great Depression. Religious affiliation; Education similarities; Families; Jobs, etc.

A major component for bonding is having common interests. This includes experience, but it goes beyond them. It includes small items. Watching TV programs like football games and other sporting events becomes bonding. Any activity that creates a com-

mon interest stimulates a friendship. I have several friends that I see them only occasionally; but the bond is as strong as when I first met them.

Individuals that have common failures or successes have a tendency to bond with one another. Seldom do individuals that have a habit of failure have a tendency to bond with a person who obviously is successful.

Perhaps the most significant quality in defending a bonding between two people is the word “intangibles.” They are indistinct. No one can place their fingers on it or verbally grasp a definite word. Several individuals that I asked about this issue just shrugged their

shoulder. They didn’t know or just refused to share their thoughts with me. I suggest that it just happens.

Finally, the basic analysis of the bonding issue seems to be based on INTANGIBLES. For instance, what is the ambience in a casual meeting. Is it comfortable? Is it stressful? Do you want a second meeting?

Did the individual seem arrogant or have a know-it-all attitude? A comfortable feeling is essential for a future bonding. Again, age, race, education, or nationality are not a criterion for a bonding relationship. Amen. Selah. So be it.

San Ber nardino County Super visor James Ramos launches bid for State Assembly

I was born and raised in this community. As a tribal leader, a business owner, a community leader and as a County Supervisor, I have worked to make it a better place – targeting corruption and bringing transparency to the County Board while balancing the budget and creating a reserve. My focus will continue to be on the issues that matter to the Inland Empire - economic development, tackling homelessness, improving education and working with public safety to keep our communities safe,” said Ramos. “I have always worked in a bipartisan manner and that will not change in the State Assembly.”

James was born and raised on the San Manuel Indian Reservation. He grew up in a mobile home with his family. He learned a strong work ethic and followed a path to college, earning his associate’s degree at Victor Valley Community College, and his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Accounting from California State University, San Bernardino, before attending the University of Redlands where he earned a master’s degree in Business Administration.

2011, he became the first Native American appointed to the State Board of Education by Governor Jerry Brown.

In addition to his elected service, Ramos is a proven civic leader and has served on numerous boards and organizations in the greater San Bernardino area.

Ramos, a Democrat, has served as a Supervisor of San Bernardino County since 2012. In 2015, he was unanimously elected by his colleagues to serve as Board Chairman. Ramos was the first Native American to be elected to the Board of Supervisors, as well as to the San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees, on which he served from 2005-12.

Ramos has worked for both Republican and Democratic Governors. In 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Ramos to the California State Native American Heritage Commission for which he is chairman. In

Ramos is also the immediate past Chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, with a deep commitment to the preservation of California Indian culture. He is co-founder of the San Manuel Band’s Cultural Awareness Program, and serves as director of the California Indian Cultural Awareness Conference held annually at California State University, San Bernardino. James and his wife of 28 years, Terri, are the proud parents of four children and three grandchildren. Ramos also released list of key endorsements:

he San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation 2018 Senior King & Queen are Don & Celeste Griggs. Congratulations, Royalty! Mrs. Celeste Brown Griggs was born in Waterloo, Iowa. She graduated from East Waterloo High School in 1963, where she was a classmate and sweet heart of Don Griggs. Mrs. Griggs joined Don in California after his return from overseas duty. They were married in 1965 in Oceanside, California. After moving to the Inland Empire, Celeste worked for Pacific Telephone Company and attended SBVC. She became a homemaker with their three children for five years before deciding to return to the work force. She worked for Kaiser Permanente for 27 years, retiring as Supervisor of staffing and payroll in the Appointment Center in Fontana. Mr. Don Griggs was born in Waterloo, Iowa. He graduated from East Waterloo High School in 1961. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the United State Marine Corps where he served for four years. He was employed by Southern California Edison for ten years before entering the retail

business. Eager to be involved with his new community, Don was instrumental in bringing Boy Scouting to the inner city of San Bernardino serving as a Neighborhood Commissioner over seeing several troops and Cub Packs during the late sixties. Don took boys on overnight scouting trips and chaperoned them at the Helen Dade Boy Scouts of America Camp in Lake Arrowhead during the summer. Mr. Griggs is well known for his impeccable style of clothing and his love for neckties. He was coowner of Irv Silvers Men’s Fashions for fifteen years, having stores located in the Inland Center Mall of San Bernardino and The Tyler Galleria of Riverside. He became President of the Merchants Association at Tyler Galleria. He was hired by Nordstrom’s to manage the Men’s Clothing Department for fifteen years until he retired. While there, he was able to display and sell his personal design collection of ties; “Designs by Don”. Always one to ensure that employees of all races were treated with equity, Mr. Griggs cofounded the Diversity Board to oversee that a certain percentage

of employees hired were people of color. Mr. Griggs has been a small business owner for over thirty years. “I felt there was a niche market that had not been touched in men’s neckwear. I envisioned a quality line of African print men's neckwear that would reflect elegance and significance, while appealing to professional and distinguished men.” The Griggs were volunteers at Priscilla’s Helping Hands and now host H.U.G.S (Home Unity Growth Groups). The SBBCF awards reception took place on February 2 at the San Bernardino City Unified School District auditorium. Arlington Rodgers Jr. was installed as the 2018 President, San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation by retired Judge Robert Fawke, who also introduced the 2018 Recipients of the SBBCF Scholarship Awards.: Jalen Stevenson, 17, student Cajon High School, 4.85 GPA in the Complete Honors/International Baccalaureate Program.

BHS team headed to National Virtual Enterprise Competition

ongratulations to Bloomington High School Virtual Enterprise students, who are headed to New York City this April to compete nationally for the first time. The BHS team, Highrise Gardens, was among only six teams in the state chosen to compete in the National Business Plan Competition at the Virtual Enterprises International Youth Business Summit, which takes place April 16-18 in New York City. The team will be among 220 teams from 150 schools representing 18 states and 10 countries.

This marks the first time that BHS has won at the state level and advanced to the nationals. Highrise Gardens also earned the highest score in the state on the written portion of the competition – with 101 out of 100 points. Another BHS team – Novel Pursuit -- made it to the 16 top teams in the state. A total of 42 competed. “I am extremely overwhelmed,” stated teacher Robin Buckles. “I still am in shock and proud… They’re exceptional.” “I’m very excited for them,” added Bloomington High School

Principal Sandy Torres. “To take a brand new idea and take it to where they’re going to New York is an incredible accomplishment.” Team members are still a bit overwhelmed by their achievement. “I still can’t believe we made it this far,” said team member Alejandro Contreras, a Bloomington High School senior. In addition to Alejandro, the winning team includes Abraham Padilla, Enrique Moreno, Roxanna Canales, and Daniela Lopez. The Highrise Gardens virtual business centers on aeroponics –

growing plants vertically without soil; an industry students felt would be beneficial in large cities. The idea would be for citydwellers to be able to grow their own healthy crops, even if they don’t have room for a traditional garden. Team members got the idea after seeing a video highlighting the need for a way to bring crops and greenery into urban landscapes with little outdoor space. Competition is fierce, Mrs. Buckles noted. Most teams spend up to two years preparing. BHS worked on their project for four months. For all but one of the team members, this was the first time competing at the state level. “It was new and scary,” Daniela said of her experience at the state contest. “New York is going to be a bigger new experience. We’re looking forward to that.” The Virtual Enterprise competition started at the local level with students from our region competing last November in Redlands. Virtual Enterprise includes a variety of business-themed competition areas, such as marketing plans, elevator pitches, sales catalogs, and just about every facet of running a business. The business plan competition is one of the hardest, because it is basically “like a thesis,” Mrs. Buckles noted. Students not only have to come up with a business that will fill a

need, but they also have to elect corporate officers, set a budget, project costs and revenues, develop a marketing plan, and have pretty much everything that a real corporation would have…except virtually. After coming up with the comprehensive plan, members then had to “pitch” their idea to a panel of seven expert judges. The questions presented by the judges were pretty tough and team members had to answer with precision and confidence. Some of the tougher questions involved financials. “We weren’t seen as kids making something up,” Enrique noted. “They saw us as an actual business.” To ensure that they were prepared, each team member rehearsed others’ parts, so they could support one another in the high pressure presentation. The experience reinforces critical thinking, research, and writing skills as well as “soft skills,” Alejandro added. “We had to relate to (judges) as well,” he said. Regardless of the outcome at nationals, Roxanna said the experience has been one she will never forget. “The whole experience really brought this team together,” she said. “It made us realize, we can do anything we plan to do.”
