even holds the highests stats in narcotics and money recovery at almost $1 million.

They were among the Rialto police officers honored Feb. 20 during the department’s awards ceremony at the Sierra Lakes Country Club.

The event was the department’s first official awards program that formally recognized Rialto police for their hard work and dedication.

Recognitions that have been a long time coming, said police Chief Tony Farrar.

“These men and women have all gone above and beyond the call of duty. Their actions exemplify the very best of the department,” he said of the honorees.

Detective John Lopez received the department’s prestigious award: Officer of the Year. He was honored for conducting several investigations of complex cases, connecting suspects to the crime along with solving the cases.

Lopez was among the nearly 50 members of the department that received commendations and citations.

rialto police detective John lopez was awarded officer of the year during the department’s first awards program Feb. 20.

But accolades weren’t given to just sworn members of the department.

Police even recognized a few citizens, 17-year-old Tyler Herbert

and longtime police volunteer Ray Marrero.

Tyler was awarded as an Outstanding Citizen for not only working tirelessly to complete the

port of the unit.

Marrero was the first police volunteer to receive the Chuck McGowan Volunteer of the Year award for his exceptional service and dedication. He assists with neighborhood watch meetings, is at every community function and has pulled at the heartstrings of many with his set up of hundreds of white crosses for the departments 9/11 Memorial.

Both Tyler and Marrero were applauded with standing ovations.

More than 100 family members and friends of those honored were on hand for the ceremony, including San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos, who gave a few words of appreciation to the department.

18 to the city in support of its e3p3 Model City platform, which aims to foster environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and equity in health, education and social services supported by public and private partnerships with the same vision.

Rialto was named the first e3p3 Model City in August 2014 as a result of its commitment to these factors.

Under the grant, the city in collaboration with more than a dozen community partners and agencies, will spearhead “e3p3 G.R.E.A.T Intervention and Prevention” — e3p3 GIP— a Gang Resistance Education and Training program, which encompasses gang and violence prevention programs for students in grades 4-8. The program will also impact Colton, Fontana and San Bernardino youth. The primary goals of the program are to: help youth avoid gang involve-

ment and membership; help youth avoid violence and criminal activity; help youth develop positive relationships with law enforcement; and build resiliency platforms that foster positive youth development.

ave you ever dreamed of something that seemed impossible to accomplish or obtain?

I have been dreaming since I was a young boy and continue to dream as a grown man. Dreaming has been one of the amazing elements that shaped my current mindset as a father, husband, entrepreneur, and leader. I believe the thoughts that linger in my mind daily have driven me toward accomplishing the dreams I have envisioned.

So why not dream about the accomplishments that can be obtained through hard work, dedication, consistency, and action?

Shouldn’t we all be striving toward our dreams? Nourishing the mind through our dreams opens the mind to endless possibilities while guiding us through the challenges needed to be conquered to make our dreams become a reality.

If dreaming leads to action, then we all need to do more of it and benefit from the end results that can possibly occur in business, health, and life.

I encourage you to dream more, dream big, and experience the power of envisioning what can become a reality through hard work, dedication, consistency, and action.

Empower your mind and explore the unknown.

Mike Gallo, Margaret Hill, and Bobbie Perong are expected to launch campaigns for re-election.

On the state, when U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer announced she would not seek re-election, there was intense speculation as to who might consider running for the office. So far Kamala Harris, Antonio Villaraigosa, Loretta Sanchez, Xavier Becerra, and Tim Donnelly are among the names being discussed as potential candidates.

Who may run for elected office?

In the city of San Bernardino there is the possibility of another large turnover in city leadership.

Up for election this November are council seats from Wards Three (incumbent John Valdivia), Five (incumbent Henry Nickel), Six (incumbent Rikke Van Johnson), and Seven (incumbent James L. Melville) and City Clerk (incumbent Georgiann "Gigi" Hanna), City Attorney (incumbent Gary D. Saenz), and City Treasurer (incumbent David C. Kennedy). So far only Rikke Van Johnson has said he will not seek reelection and it is rumored the James L. Mulville may also step out of the running, but I seriously doubt it.

Another local election to look at is the San Bernardino Unified School District School Board.

There will be four seats to fill by the voters. Long-time Board member Lynda Savage has confirmed

A process of continuous improvement

I

n drafting a response to PressEnterprise reporter Mark Muckenfuss’ article, “Crafton Hills gets warning on status” [Feb. 11], it became very clear to me how little non-educators understand the accreditation process and how challenging it is to reduce any explanation of that process to 300 or 400 words for a news story.

Neither college in the San Bernardino Community College District “failed” its accreditation review and none of our communications with the media, in any way, suggested that they did.

Both Crafton Hills and San Bernardino Valley are in good standing with the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges, the arm of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges that oversees the accrediting process of the 112 California Community Colleges, which is authorized to operate by the U.S. Department of Education.

To clarify, both colleges are on “warning status” and the ACCJC has made specific recommendations that each school and the district need to address. We are to report our progress to the ACCJC by March 2016. This does not impact either school’s accreditation status. All credits and degrees earned by students retain their full accreditation status.

The ACCJC describes accreditation as “a voluntary system of selfregulation developed to evaluate overall educational quality and institutional effectiveness. The … process provides assurance to the public that the accredited member colleges meet the standards; the education earned at the institutions is of value to the student who earned it and employers, trade or profes-

sion-related licensing agencies, and other colleges and universities can accept a student’s credential as legitimate.”

Accreditation has four phases.

First, the school conducts an internal evaluation, creating its report and collecting the supporting evidence using the 13 pages of ACCJC accreditation standards referred to above.

These are comprehensive, covering virtually every aspect of providing higher education programs and services to students. The reports generated by our colleges averaged 400 pages, plus hundreds of additional documents were supplied as supporting evidence. A college’s full accreditation review occurs at least every five to seven years, and usually a mid-cycle report must be prepared as well.

Next, the college hosts the “external evaluation by professional peers,” or team visit, for three to five days. From colleges around the region, the team members visually evaluate the campus, meet with administrators, students, faculty and staff, review the evidence provided and consider the district and college financial, technological, human and other available resources, comparing all their findings to the ACCJC standards. The ACCJC considers the reports when they evaluate a school’s status and make their accreditation decisions, which is the third step.

The ACCJC calls the fourth and most important step “the institutional self-improvement to meet evolving regional and federal standards.”

Colleges and the ACCJC are striving to provide students with the highest possible academic quality, and each college and the district uses the recommendations from the team report and the Commission decision to improve their institution in order to better serve students.

This ongoing, collaborative, supportive process shares the goal of implementing best practices in every aspect of operating a college in order to support student success, which is documented through “completion of certificates and degrees and through student learning.”

The ACCJC has a range of sanctions available to it when a school does not comply with every standard, depending on the severity of the deficiencies, the college’s condition, its history of compliance and the impact of the noncompliance upon the quality and stability of the institution.

The ACCJC must terminate accreditation when an institution is determined to be out of compliance with eligibility requirements, accreditation standards and commis-

sion policies and fails to come into compliance within a two-year period.

The San Bernardino Community College District, Crafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College are proud of the work we do every day serving students.

The ACCJC findings indicate that there are some specific ways in which we can improve, and they want to evaluate our improvement by March 2016.

We do not downplay or take lightly any recommendation from the ACCJC and we look forward to having these issues satisfactorily resolved by this time next year.

Bruce Baron is chancellor of San Bernardino Community College District.

To ride on a street, yes, require wearing helmets

Cyclists, if we want to share the road as other vehicles, then we should follow all laws of the road.

So yes, we should wear helmets, have insurance, stop at all stop signs, ride on the correct side of the road, stay off the sidewalks, and pay vehicle registration tax just like motorcyclists.

In the 1970s, there were students who wanted to go to college, and students whose goals did not include college. College-bound students took college-prep classes, studied/learned lesson content, received units for each class completed, took SAT tests, received a high school diploma then applied to college. If our SAT scores, GPA and other factors were good

Hats off to Ellen Taylor and her League of Women Voters for taking a stand against the Keystone XL pipeline. Too many people ignored this horrendous problem and now it’s upon us. The Senate passed the pipeline by a 62-38 margin and it sits on President Obama’s desk. He will probably veto it and it will go back to the Senate for five more votes to override his veto.

I’ve been following fracking lawsuits on the Internet and see fracking and the pipeline as the same problem. There are fracking suits in courts across the nation including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Texas, Wyoming, Ohio — everywhere there’s been fracking.

Texas is the only lawsuit that has been decided. A couple in Denton was awarded a $3 million settlement when a multi-national oil company’s fracking destroyed the air and water on their farm.

However, all these lawsuits will go away if the Trans-Pacific Partnership is passed as it is now. Like the North American Free Trade Agreement fast-tracked through Congress in 1992, the PTT contains a right-to-profits clause. If a party to this agreement engages in a profitable enterprise in the United States and it proves to be hazardous, against state or federal law, and the enterprise is stopped, the corporation has the right to sue for the profits they would have made. It’s a truly bizarre concept and one that conservatives tried to

get into law for 25 years before succeeding with NAFTA.

Keystone is a done deal. The president will veto it; it will go back to Congress where five obscure senators will change their vote from nay to yea and the pipeline will pass into law. After all, we have the greatest Congress money can buy.

To avoid total catastrophe, contact your congressman about the PTT’s right-to-profits clause or we will be unable to sue corporations for damages or make them comply with any health and safety laws, environmental laws, or any law whatsoever. They will run wild.

Grand Terrace High School students have ready made lesson plan at city council

C

By Harvey M. Kahn

ivic lessons can be learned at Grand Terrace High School when it hosts a comprehensive two-day program in April designed to combat teenage drinking and driving. The City of Grand Terrace will appropriate funds for the "2015 Every 15 Minutes" event through a $9,999.99 grant from the California Highway Patrol.

In conjunction, the city of Grand Terrace holds a built-in lesson plan every two weeks for teens by way of its agenda packet. In a agenda report presented by its city finance director Cynthia Fortune in the Feb 10 packet, it not only spells out details of the "Every 15 Minutes" program, it teaches the importance of local government adhering to fiscal responsibility.

As "contractor" to the $9,999.99 grant, the city of Grand Terrace must account to the CHP by way of itemized listings of expenses. An account of monies spent on the "Every 15 Minutes" program must be verified with copies of invoices, receipts, vendor names, addresses and phone numbers. The grant spells out that a motivational speaker appearing at the Grand Terrace High School event cannot be paid more than $1,500.

Another stipulation of the CHP

grant is that the city of Grand Terrace agrees to use the following language when promoting the event: "Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration." Additional requirements include a time table that Grand Terrace must meet in order to be paid. Within 30 days after the program at the high school, the city must furnish a cover letter and final report package to the CHP. Formally known as the Agency Contract Claim for Reimbursement

Form, it asks for a general overview of how the Every 15 Minutes program in Grand Terrace is used, from planning stages through debriefing to final conclusions. The CHP says that press releases, newspaper articles, and letters from parents and students can be part of the final report package.

The City of Grand Terrace projects to use $6,999.99 of the CHP grant for office expenses and $3,000 for contractual services. Of Grand Terrace's total $4.4 million annual budget, about $2.8 million of that is spent on

Words to Think About: Rules we live by

I

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

’ve always been fascinated by the standards or rules by which people govern and live their lives.

As in the Golden Rule-Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or the standard of the Ten Commandments. Over a billion Muslims follow the dictates of the Koran.

There are those who make the Constitution the guide to their behavior. And of course, the Christian community follows the words of Jesus and the New Testament.

There are ethnic by-laws. The customs and practices that are uniquely Greek, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, German and at least 180 other nationalities.

Natives in Africa, Southeast Asia and all Polynesians have their own cultural eccentricities.

Then, each family develops patterns of conduct that family members abide by. Just take the practice of Christmas. Most families have

their own habits and customs.

There is a yard stick or measuring rod that is prevalent today.

Those who practice its tenets subscribe to “Situation Ethics.” There are others who believe in it but do not use its name. They practice its basics.

A Britisher by the name of Joseph Fletcher is ostensibly the “father” of Situation Ethics. In his book, written in 1966, he was in opposition to the concepts of Thomas Aquinas. He (Aquinas) advocated the view that there were basic moral principles that were God-given and should be adhered to..

A basic tenet of his (Fletcher’s) way of thinking is rather simplistic. The rightness or wrongness of an event depends on the situation.

Two classic examples are used to clarify this position.

Just suppose a friend of yours is being chased with the objective being murder. He comes to your house and begs for asylum. You hide him.

Subsequently the pursuers stop and ask if you have seen your friend. You lie. You say, “No;” or “He went that way.” Truth and honesty are absolutes. Most creeds and cultures disallow lying. Yet, you have lied. Situation Ethics says your lying was the right and moral thing to do.

Here is one of Fletcher’s classic illustrations. Following World War II a German housewife is taken prisoner by the Russians. Her husband finds out and seeks her freedom. The Russians state that she

can only go free if she is pregnant.

She consents to adultery in order to become pregnant by a Russian.

After verification she is released.

She and her husband return to the German town where she is ostracized and condemned by the church and neighbors for committing adultery. .

Here is the rub. She violated the 7th Commandment. She has an illegitimate child. Did she do wrong or did the situation absolve her of sinning? Fletcher says she was motivated by the only law necessary. That is love, for her husband and other children.

To him there is only one absolute.

That is love. It alone establishes the rightness or wrongness of an event.

The purists and the legalists cannot accept his views. Ponder it if you will.

One of the most powerful films on the market today is, “Beautiful Mind,” starring Russell Crowe. In representing John Nash, the Nobel Prize winner in Mathematics, Crowe gives a powerful speech.

He clarifies the impulse of love, the power of love, and the bonds of love. The movie, whether absolutely true or not, elevates Fletcher’s concept of situational love to the highest level.

Jesus endorsed the primacy of love when He said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength; and your neighbor as yourself.”

Amen. Selah. So be it.

"professional/contracted services."

Another $318,000 is appropriated in the general fund for "overhead cost allowances." Grand Terrace lists another estimated $21 million in reserves.

The city of Grand Terrace says its goal is to ensure fiscal viability not just with the Every 15 Minutes program but with all city operations. At least one city official agrees that students could be encouraged to get involved. By reading monthly financial reports, students could keep informed regarding the city's overall health. Through the city's meticulous posting of checks it issues, students can raise questions as to what those monies were used for.

Students could ask why Wildan Financial Services were paid over $36,000 by the city in November.

Or what kind of comprehensive study services did Creative Management Solutions provide for $9,750. Students could ask who charged the city $1,134 for fuel expenses in November. Those in high school ASB could study something the city of Grand Terrace calls the "trust agency account" and another called "pooled cash investments."

When compared to cities quite larger, Grand Terrace does rank high at attempting to be transparent.

Attempts to reach Grand Terrace City Finance Director Cynthia Fortune for further clarification were unsuccessful, however Coun-

cilman Doug Wilson did respond.

Wilson explained that most of those larger invoices are for contracted services which he feels are prudently used. Wilson answered that $318,000 in "cost overhead allowances" are used to offset costs in the city manager's office.

When compared to San Bernardino's posting of monthly payable invoices, those in Grand Terrace are easier to access. On February 19, San Bernardino wrote 45 stipend checks totaling about $14,000 to individuals for undescribed purposes. San Bernardino also wrote checks to Office Depot and other firms without in depth explanation.

Much the same, Wilson agreed that Grand Terrace needs to better describe its purchases as well. "A city is a business and a business cannot work without details," said Wilson. He added that Grand Terrace has a good working relationship with the Colton Joint Unified School District and thinks it would be a good idea to encourage more student participation.

Wilson continued; "I'm always asking questions about our budget.

Students study about the federal government. Maybe teaching them about the city council would give them a better idea about the operation of local government. I'll be glad to talk to the mayor about that."

New initiative focused on poverty-related issues

PHOTO/UC RIVERSIDE

The Blum Poverty Initiative, to be launched this fall by the UC Riverside School of Public Policy, will support research focused on solving poverty-related issues in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, courses on global and regional poverty, internships, a monthly seminar series, and an annual poverty policy forum. Pictured is Richard Blum, former chairman of the UC Board of Regents, who donated $250,000 for the initiative.

new initiative launched

by UC Riverside School of Public Policy will support research on solving povertyrelated issues in the Inland Empire.

The Blum Initiative on Global and Regional Poverty will commence this fall, made possible by a gift from Richard Blum, former chairman of the UC Board of Re-

gents, as well as matching funds from the UC Office of the President and UCR Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox.

The initiative was announced during a recent visit by former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich earlier this month at the UC campus.

“The mission of the Blum Poverty Initiative resonates well with the overall mission of UC Riverside,” Chancellor Wilcox said. “We work hard to ensure that the world-class education we offer is accessible to all, including those from poverty-stricken areas. The Inland Empire has some of the highest poverty rates among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.

In fact, 58% of UCR undergraduates receive need-based Pell grants, the highest percentage among the nation’s research intensive universities. More than half of our students are the first in their families to attend college. This initiative will help us conduct research, teaching and outreach that focuses attention on poverty in the region and will help policymakers and community-based organizations improve the lives of the poor in the Inland Empire.”

Anil Deolalikar, founding dean of the UCR School of Public Policy and a developmental economist, noted that one in five San Bernardino County residents lived below the federal poverty line in 2012. In eastern Riverside County, the Coachella Valley includes some of the poorest towns in the nation, inhabited primarily by migrant agricultural workers, that coexist alongside some of the most affluent communities in the country.

Blum’s gift of $250,000 has been matched with $250,000 seed funding from the office of UC Presi-

The Community Foundation Offers Grants to Strengthen Nonprofits

T

he Community Foundation—Strengthening Inland Southern California through Philanthropy—is currently accepting online grant applications from nonprofits for capacity building projects through April 6, 2015. Nonprofits must provide services in Riverside and San Bernardino counties to be eligible. Funding for these grants comes from the Community Impact Fund.

Eligible nonprofits may apply for one of two types of capacity building grants offered for this year.

Grants are available for a one-year responsive grant, up to $10,000, or for a multi-year grant, which can award as much as $60,000 over three years. Because this is a change to the Community Impact Fund grant process, a technical workshop is being offered. Please join us on: March 4 | 3-5 pm at the Community Foundation Office, Tallman Office Building, 215

North D Street, Suite 101, San Bernardino, CA 92401. RSVP to dshackelford@thecommunityfoundation.net The Community Impact Fund allows the Foundation to respond to requests for support across a widerange of organizational capacity building needs. Capacity building support is intended to enable an organization to carry out its mission by strengthening capacity, effectiveness, and sustainability. These funds should provide an opportunity for nonprofits to reflect, learn, and take action in developing short- and/or long-term, sustainable solutions to the challenges they face in addressing critical community needs.

Organizations interested in applying should visit www.thecommunityfoundation.net and navigate to the Grants Schedule for more information, including eligibility.

Applications will be reviewed and grants awarded by June 30, 2015.

dent Janet Napolitano and $250,000 from UCR Chancellor Wilcox. Blum has funded similar research initiatives at other UC campuses.

“A program that builds on Riverside’s strengths and seeks to address local and regional poverty issues in the context of global lessons is an important endeavor that will benefit California and provide intellectual challenges and opportunities for UCR faculty and students,” Napolitano said of the poverty initiative.

The Blum Poverty Initiative will establish an undergraduate minor in poverty, develop a lower-division course on global and regional poverty and a specialization in poverty and sustainable development within the Master of Public Policy program. The first class of graduate students will be able to

Mysterious creatures wow Bradley students

ong time teacher Paul Prado’s favorite academic lesson revolves around an-

imals.

The 27-year-veteran of the San Bernardino City Unified School District opted to bring animal mounts (received through a loan program at the San Bernardino County Museum) into his Fifth Grade classroom at Bradley Elementary School to give students the chance to present research to their parents. It is a project Prado has undertaken every year since he began teaching in the district in 1988.

The assignment consisted of a report on animals native to San Bernardino County, such as the Coyote, Tortoise, the California Spotted Owl, the Batting King Fisher bird and many others. The animals were a representation of what the children could either see in their neighborhoods, in the nearby arroyos (dry creeks) or

desert locales throughout San Bernardino County, according to Prado.

Prado said he utilizes the animal mounts to provide his students lessons on scientific vocabulary, cognates, metric and standard measurement, grammar, and local history.

“I love it. The kids learn so much,” said Prado. “Bringing these animals into my classroom provides a great opportunity for inner city kids. Some of them don’t have the opportunity to go to Palm Springs, Anza Borrego, and other different places where these animals are located.”

With the blessing and support of Bradley principal Amy Coker, Prado and other teachers at the school site are implementing California’s Common Core Standards into Art, Drama, and Science programs at the school to promote academic achievement among all levels and grades.

Prado was particularly impressed with the way each of his students presented their research. Some stu-

dents have learned the animal terms in Chinese and Spanish, while most have learned the meaning of diurnal (relating to a day or each day; in the case of animals, active by day) and burrow (whole in the ground made animals for protection). Prado believes the ability for his students to learn about new terms, new languages, and scientific concepts will only have a positive effect on their confidence to learn.

“I have RSP, ELL, and mainstream kids all in here,” said Prado. “They all produce good work. Some of them do it successfully, and others may have been struggling. The fact they stood up in front of 18-20 adults to present what they learned takes a lot of courage.

McVay to be Honored with Golden Baton

he San Bernardino Symphony Guild has selected Dean McVay, Esq., as their most recent recipient of the Golden Baton.

The Golden Baton Award recognizes those rare individuals whose contribution to the Symphony

have far surpassed the norm. Such individuals are felt to exemplify what it means to be a champion of the arts both for the organization and in the broader community.

While many contribute to the long term success of the organization, only a few contribute to extent of a Golden Baton awardee. In fact, in the Symphony's 86-season history, less than 15 individuals have been selected for this honor.

McVay is a Partner at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith and an adjunct professor at the University of La Verne College of Law, all the while concurrently and tirelessly supporting the arts. He has been an active member of the Board of Directors of the San Bernardino Symphony for the past ten years serving on or leading multiple specialized committees, as well as representing the Symphony on the Board of Directors of the Association of California Symphony Orchestras, and numerous other local professional charitable and community-focused organizations.

“Dean’s efforts reflect the high ideals of leadership, service, and

concern for the arts and, ultimately the future of the region,” said Symphony Guild President Judy Podskalan.

McVay will be honored at a black tie gala Friday, March 27, 2015 at the historic Mission Inn. The event will feature special performances by the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra String Quartet, by operatic baritone Eric Castro, and by the Symphony’s own Maestro Frank Fetta playing the Mission Inn's historic pipe organ.

“This is a rare opportunity to hear this instrument and we are thrilled the Mission Inn has granted us the wonderful gift of access to the pipe organ,” said Fetta, adding, “I cannot think of a more fitting occasion – or a more appropriate recipient – for the Golden Baton.”

Antiques are focus of historical society program

R

By Yazmin Alvarez

estoring antique farming machinery used more than a century ago to pluck, pick and press apples from the harvest keeps Dennis Riley of Riley’s Apple Farm in Oak Glen fairly busy.

But on March 5, the orchard owner and farm caretaker will set some time aside from the restoration process to show how he’s brought the antiques back to life by hosting a hands-on presentation and program, “Bringing Antiques into the Present on A Living Farm.”

The event, part of San

Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society’s free monthly program series, begins at 7 p.m. inside the Christian R. Harris Memorial Hall located next to the Heritage House at 796 N. D Street in San Bernardino.

“You see and hear about these antiques in museums, but they’re never in action or being used,” Riley said. “The difference here at the apple farm is that we still actually use the restored antique machinery and we let (visitors) take their hand at them too.”

From old cider presses to copper kettles still in use at the farm to make raw pressed cider and apple butter, Riley says the age-old tools

Ranchero Day Family Fun at County Museum

usic, dance, crafts, and learning will highlight Ranchero Day at the San Bernardino County Museum on Saturday, February 28.

The program is designed to complement the museum’s newest exhibit, “Turn Left at the Rockies,” by focusing on the ranchos that hosted the first mountain men to enter southern California in the 1820s and 1830s. Family activities, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. are included with paid museum admission.

Dancers from Ballet Folklorico Cultural of San Bernardino will perform traditional dances during

the afternoon. Children will have a chance to make adobe bricks, create tissue paper blossoms, and decorate maracas. Families can test their skills by working together to load a “mule,” and kids can “gear up” by dressing up and equipping themselves like a mountain man.

“Ranchero Day is a focused but traditional Family Fun Day,” said Jolene Redvale, the museum’s curator of education.

The San Bernardino County Museum is at 2024 Orange Tree Lane, at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. For more information, visit www.sbcountymuseum.org.

Conference inspires young girls to succeed

S

By Anthony Victoria

oroptimist International of San Bernardino—a non-profit organization that fosters growth and improvement among women and girls worldwide—is organizing the annual Women Inspiring and Nurturing Girls to Succeed (WINGS) conference on Saturday March 7.

The event will take place at the Vanir Tower, located at 290 N. D Street (third floor) in San Bernardino from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This year’s theme will focus on “how to access a career.” The event is open to the public.

Professional women who work in education and workforce development will provide different options to young girls that seek to improve themselves and their communities, Soroptimist International of San Bernardino president Christy Elshof said.

“There is an option for everyone,” she said. “They don’t necessarily have to be the best students.

They simply have to be willing to work hard for it.”

Carolyn Welliver, the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) instructor at Pacific High School, will be explaining the different technical educational programs that are offered at the high school sites in San Bernardino. ROP services provided include career guidance and job placement assistance.

Dean of Career Education at Crafton Hills College June Yamamoto will be providing information on school assistance programs students such as Finan-

Nidia Valdez of the San Bernardino County Workforce Development department will provide information on financial options after high school.

At lunch time Lisa Blacksher, a field representative with California Assembly member Cheryl Brown’s office (D-San Bernardino) will be giving a keynote speech on why young

women should continue their education.

“I’m so glad that Soroptimist International will host this program to inspire young women to stay focused in school and prepare for college and career,” said Assemblymember Cheryl Brown. “I sincerely appreciate their encouragement for young women who strive to further their education despite their various circumstances.

I applaud their efforts and I’m pleased to support.”

he Eisenhower girls basketball team had a grind out a 38-32 win over Perris High School during a CIF-SS Division 2AA first round playoff game on Saturday, February 21.

The victory was earned without the team’s best player after the No. 3 seeded Eagles (22-2) lost Long

Beach State bound Aaryon Green to a twisted knee in the game’s opening minutes.

With the absence of Green, Perris (15-12) made a concentrated effort to slow down the typically fastpaced Eisenhower, keeping it close throughout.

The final 2:30 seconds of the game were nail biting after Carla Johnson made a free throw to cut Eisenhower’s lead to 31-30. Johnson scored a game-high 12 points.

Senior Allyah George made two free throws on the Eagles next possession to make it 33-30 with 1:32 remaining.

The Panthers got it back to a onepoint game, 33-32, with 43 seconds left after a basket by Jessica Stone.

Facing a full-court press on the ensuing inbound, senior Delilah Cerda found George for a long pass downcourt which led to a layup and a 35-32 lead with 35 seconds on the clock.

able to attend.

Elshof, a member of the organization since 2007, said the word Soroptimist is defined as “best for women.” The dictionary definition states the word’s origin comes from the Latin word “soror”, which means sister. Along with over 95,000 fellow sisters in 120 countries, the San Bernardino chapter embarks on efforts to curb domestic violence, human trafficking—while seeking equality, peace, and goodwill to women .

The organization has provided dozens of scholarships to young girls over the recent decade. Last year they provided three $1,000 scholarships and will aim to do the

same in 2015.

“We feel women need to be empowered by education,” Elshof said. “We want to make sure these girls have the money and resources they need to get through college and receive the experience they need to find employment.”

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Section 9100 of the California Probate Code. The time for filing claims will not expire prior to four months from the date of the hearing noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

early 200 dogs rescued from an abandoned home in the high desert earlier this month have a new leash on life after an adoption event Monday at the San Bernardino County Animal Control shelter in Devore.

The 191 dogs were seized Feb. 6 in connection with an abandonment investigation in the Lucerne Valley, according to the county shelter. The dogs were found in deplorable conditions, without water, sitting in their own waste and some with matted fur, officials said.

The owners of the home where the dogs were found, have not been identified.

But after weeks of care and rehabilitation, the four-legged friends

ranging in breeds from Labrador retrievers, bulldogs, mastiffs and Pomeranians to name a few, found forever homes after crowds showed early Monday morning at the shelter once they became available for adoption.

Humane Society Offers Rattlesnake Avoidance Training

T

he Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley will be hosting Rattlesnake Avoidance Training on Friday, May 8th at their facility starting at 9:00 a.m. Training is provided by High on Kennels from Santa Ysabel, CA. Interested participants can pre-register and save $5 off of the $75 fee.

Rattlesnake season has started earlier than usual this year with cases of dogs being bitten already coming into the Humane Society Veterinary Clinic. In addition to training, a rattlesnake vaccination is recommended and only costs $22.

It is recommended that all dogs be trained to avoid rattlesnakes.

The dangers of rattlesnakes not only exist on hikes in the country or on trails, but in our backyards as well. Annual training is recom-

Rancho Cucamonga and Pomona.

All dogs at the Devore shelter have found new homes, Lopez said, and there is a positive outlook that the dogs at the other shelters will be adopted by the end of the week.

Officials are encouraging those who were unable to adopt a dog on Monday to check the shelter’s Facebook page for more adoptions.

Updates on available adoptions can be found at facebook.com/HomewardBoundPets.

mended as some dogs seem to forget over a period of time.

High on kennels has found the best way to teach a dog to avoid rattlesnakes is to use live rattlesnake specimens that have been neutralized so they cannot bite.

Rattlesnakes have a distinctive odor that a dog can discern from other snakes. The snakes are place in a field setting and the dogs are fitted with electronic training collars. Dogs are then led through the field and allowed to encounter the rattlesnakes at which point the dog is stimulated using the electronic collar.

For more information or to preregister your pet for training please call 909-386-1400 ext 218 or 224 or stop by the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley during normal business hours.
