On Monday afternoon Carlos, along with four other classified employees representing more than 18,000 classified workers across the county’s 33 school districts and approximately 540 schools, were honored as Classified School Employees of the Year by the San Bernardino County Board of Education for their dedication and commitment to excellence in representing their district. “RUSD has over 1,200 classified employees and I can give you 1,200 reasons why each and every one of those employees deserve (this award) just as much as I do,” he said humbly. He continued to express just how important classified employees are to school districts. “They’re the first people your children see as they walk to school or go to the bus. Classified employees are there to beautify the campus and keep your children safe...and just because they aren’t directly in the classroom, doesn’t mean they don’t have just as important of an impact to your child’s education as teachers do.” Erica Leggette, an RUSD parent and library specialist at Oak Park

was recognized for her leadership and bringing to life a “Literacy Hub” filled with valuable resources for parents at Oak Park Elementary. “I’m thankful for all the support I’ve received from my district,” she said. “I’ve been applauded for my failures and even my successes, and that’s what makes my position—our (classified) positions—more than meaningful.” The three other employees awarded Monday included Johnny Felix, custodian, Endeavour School of Exploration, Victor Elementary School District; Ana Madrid, lead caterer, Oak View High School, Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District; Lina Suliafu, health services assistant, Valley View High School, Chaffey Joint Union High School District. This is the seventh year the California Department of Education has offered the Classified Employees of the Year program.

Hip Pocket Workout

By Gino Garcia, Vibe Fitness

hat is a “hip pocket workout?” A hip pocket workout (HPW) is nothing more than your back up workout plan that’s used when your daily schedule is busy and prevents you from making your normal workout session. The phrase “hip pocket” is taught to Marines in leadership positions who are expected to have learning materials ready at all times to teach and train their fellow Marines. The tools can range from land navigation, job specific training, leadership training, martial arts, and workout routines. The intent and purpose of having hip pocket material is to ensure every moment of the day is used to remain focused, disciplined, conditioned, and ready for any given mission. This is a concept that has stayed with me since leaving the Marine Corps and I now implement it within my life and teach it to those who train within my facility. The great thing about having your own hip pocket workout is that it’s structured based on your personal capabilities while allowing you to stay mentally and physically on track with your health and fitness goals. In addition, it eliminates excuses and allows you to develop consistent habits of daily exercise.

Here is my personal hip pocket workout I implement when I do not have time to perform my normal workout routine: •100 push-ups •100 pull-ups •100 squats •50 burpees •100 sit-ups

Typically this workout takes me 15-20 minutes and provides me with the sweat and burn I need to stay on track with my training. I provided you with my personal hip pocket workout only to serve as an example. Your HPW can contain more or less exercises with different repetition counts, there is no wrong way. I encourage you to create your own HPW and use it when needed to ensure you remain focused and committed to your health and fitness goals. If you would like help creating your HPW my email address is below, please contact me and I will be sure to respond with suggestions. Your friend in fitness, Gino Garcia Owner, Vibe Fitness

By R.A. Contreras

Make history when it really matters

any words get thrown around carelessly and hence tend to lose their real meaning. The word ‘friend’ is a good example. Now, perhaps, we can add another to that list: ‘historic’. After Tuesday’s council meeting at San Bernardino City Hall, the word was getting thrown around as council members and other city officials gathered around for a photo op when signing a voted upon and approved document. The deed was an interim agreement that now gives the mayor, city manager, city attorney, and the city council reserved and checked powers as an alternative to those listed in the city’s beleaguered charter. Proponents say that this will help to ensure that the aforementioned city officials have better-defined roles in the quest towards an improved government. Councilwoman Virginia Marquez called it “historic” and fellow member John Valdivia walked out of the council meeting in protest before the 6-0 favoring vote could be cast saying that the process violated the Brown Act—California’s open meeting law. Really, in a sense both could be right. This sort of agreement, I believe was acted upon in good faith—a move towards holding elected city officials accountable as they get to work on righting the town’s sinking ship. On the other hand, Valdivia has a valid

point—especially so if the general public did not have an opportunity to have input in the process. The Brown Act requires posting of an agenda and for a public meeting to be convened legally—as in the usual process taken for a regular city council meeting. This did not happen. And yes, for a city to have the problems it does on the grand scale of a bankruptcy, it behooves San Bernardino to do everything in its power to act in the best interest of the public trust—with any indication of skirting the law to be avoided. Transparency is mandatory. Nonetheless, the bigger problem I have is the banner-waving, fistsin-the-air attitude that some major accomplishment has taken place. Now, I must say that Marquez was one of the leading proponents to put in place a homeless access center at Seccombe Lake Park— and she took a lot of heat for it. I adamantly praise her for her efforts and hope sincerely that it puts a dent in the vexing issue. But what happened Tuesday night after a long, nearly-five-hour council meeting was hardly of historic proportions. We elect our city officials on the premise that they will carry out the will of the people. But, if I had my druthers, I would prefer my city to gloat on improving more mundane conditions such as sweeping out the prostitution off Baseline, repairing the mess of pavement on Waterman, or installing lights on a darkened and dangerous Pacific. We citizens all want to be safe and prosperous. I take my hat off to our men and women in the police and fire department—as well as the countless other rank-and-file city employees for doing their utmost in this regard. And as a lifelong citizen of a city that has seen much better days, I am sickened at the constant comparisons San Bernardino gets to Detroit—for both the unenviable qualities of bankruptcy and skyrocketing crime. Until the city leaders as a whole work to the point where the former ‘All-American” city can have an actual solvency plan on the judge’s desk, get it actually approved, and a real, binding bankruptcy plan set in stone—yes be resolved of bankruptcy—will I only then agree that something truly historic has taken place.

Potholes: They’re Back and They’re Bad

Potholes have returned, and hitting one with your car can do a real number on tires, wheels, steering and suspension, and alignment. To help determine if hitting a pothole has damaged your vehicle, watch for these warning signs.

· Loss of control, swaying when making routine turns, bottoming out on city streets or bouncing excessively on rough roads are indicators that the steering and suspension may have been damaged. The steering and suspension are key safety-related systems. Together, they largely determine your car’s ride and handling. Key components are shocks and/or struts, the steering knuckle, ball joints, the steering rack/box, bearings, seals and hub units and tie

Words to Think About: The Legacy of Cesar Chavez

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

am writing this article on the birthdate of Cesar Chavez, March 31, 2015. If he had lived to that date he would have been 88 years old. He was born on March 31, 1927, and died on April 22, 1993. He was 66 years old. Cesar married Helen Fabela on October 22, 1948. She was born on January 21, 1928 and is still living at age 87. They had eight children: Fernando, Sylvia, Linda, Eloise, Liz, Paul, Anna and Anthony. To my way of thinking, Chavez was one of the most important people to grace our land. He not only changed the labor landscape but significantly and dramatically changed our view of the farming

industry. He belongs in the pantheon of greatness that includes Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pope Francis. Along with President Lyndon Johnson and his emphasis on Civil Rights, President F. D. Roosevelt with his initiating Social Security, President John F. Kennedy and the Peace Corps, and President Barak Obama and Obamacare, and President Harry Truman and the G. I. Bill. Our news is inundated with concern about the demise of the middle class. Wall Street and big corporations possess one percent and control 95 % of the American economy. It is common knowledge that NAFTA has further impacted the middle class by encouraging businesses to move their plants to other countries in the third world. A parallel to this is the decline of Labor Unions. Major corporations like Walmart and states like Wisconsin do battle with labor unions with their battle cry, “right to work.” The major complaint about Unions is evidence of corruption. Which too often is true. Jimmy Hoffa is often used as an example. But this issue is true in most organizations. Even the Catholic Church

has pedophiles. Protestants have Jimmy Swaggerts. Congress has many examples of corruption. Too many to mention. To avoid the Labor Unions many corporations move to third world countries. The wages there are very low and when the products get back to America, the products are outrageous. A few years ago a bumper sticker that was popular said, “If you can read this, thank a teacher.” Using the same approach, with a change of words, think with me. If you have a pension, thank the unions. If you have health and dental benefits, thank the unions. If you get a vacation, thank the unions. If you work only 40 hours a week, thank a union. If you work in a dangerous job-coal mine, steel mill, etc.thank the unions for safety features. On and on. My Dad was a molder in a castiron foundry. He died at age 60 from silicosis-the black lung. He worked without safety precautions. I worked at age 12 in a foundry. Child protection laws came in because of Labor Unions. The prominence of Labor Unions and their influence goes beyond special interests like railroads, retail, construction, etc. They influenced churches that now have pension and health programs for

the clergy. My advice is simple. If you want the return of the Middle Class, support the Labor Unions. Now back to Cesar Chavez. At age 17 he joined the U.S. Navy and served to the end of World War II. The inequities and prejudices toward Hispanics, especially in the farming communities affected him greatly. Two men in particularly set examples for him. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Gandhi is famous for-two values that changed the history of India. He opposed the “cast system” in India and he advocated a non-violent approach to get change. Without a doubt, Chavez was inspired by him. Both views were at the center of Cesar Chavez’ approach. Non-violence and fasting. In fact, he would fast several weeks at a time, to bring attention to the plight of the Farm Workers. Chavez was responsible for organizing Mexican workers into the United Farm Workers. Under his leadership he secured a three year contract with grape growers; another three-year contract with Minute Maid for 55,000 workers. His influence was significant with both the Democrats and RepubliChavez was very aware cans. of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

crediting him with, “showing us the way.” Paul Chavez says, “Just a month before my father’s death, Dr. King sent a telegram to my father, who was fasting for 25 days in Delano, California to rededicate his movement to non-violence.” Cesar Chavez’ influence made significant strides among religious people of all denominations, spheres of education, business leaders as well as government leaders. One of the greatest challenges and meaningful tributes for him came from Dr. King. He wrote: “AS BROTHERS IN THE FIGHT FOR EQUALITY, I EXTEND THE HAND OF FELLOWSHIP, AND GOOD WILL AND WISH CONTINUING SUCCESS TO YOU AND YOUR MEMBERS. YOU AND YOUR VALIANT FELLOW WORKERS HAVE DEMONSTRATED YOUR COMMITMENT TO RIGHTING GRIEVOUS WRONGS FORCED UPON EXPLOITED PEOPLE.

From drugs, incarceration Friends of the San Bernardino Public to a healthy lifestyle Library Seeking

Dixie Bolan, 33, endured a life of drugs and incarceration. Through the help of her probation officer she sought necessary treatment and is now enjoying a healthy, drug-free lifestyle and caring for her children.

By MJ Duncan

rom the beginning Dixie Bolan’s life was a challenge. “A failure” is how she described it. Surrounded by drugs and alcohol growing up, she was doomed to become that failure she describes. “I never had a chance to feel like I was any type of success story,” she said recently. “It was always just a bunch of failure – my life was a bunch of failure, my mom was a failure, my dad was gone.” Bolan’s mother was a drug addict and the youngster soon followed suit, starting with methamphetamines, heroine, crack as well as marijuana and alcohol. “Everything I could get my hands on.”

By the age of 13 Bolan ran away and embarked on a path of getting arrested for prostitution, drug possession, weapons possession, a loaded firearm in a public place, forgery, battery and possession of private property. During her grants of probation and parole Bolan would continue to violate those terms, and in 2009 she lost custody of her four children. It wasn’t until a plea from her daughter, “Mommy, please get help,” did Bolan decide to seek help and make real changes. With the help of her probation officer she was accepted into Saint John of God Treatment Center with the goal of regaining custody of her children. Even as her probation officer

brought her through the gates of the treatment center, Bolan was still plotting to run away. “It was a Wednesday, I’ll never forget, and I thought ‘if I can just make it ‘til Friday, then I can run,’” Bolan said. “I always tried to run, always tried to lie and finagle my way out of stuff.” It wasn’t until her counselors told her something she had never heard before that she decided to endure the program, “the sky is not the limit, the sky is limitless.” It was that turning point that she was able to allow herself the strength to turn her life around permanently. Bolan, now 33, has learned to put her dysfunctional lifestyle behind her, build genuine relationships, and to live a healthy lifestyle. She has regained custody of her two daughters and is excited about raising her newborn in a positive, healthy environment. Bolan looks forward to caring for her children, cooking them breakfast, and putting them on the school bus. “I get to be a mom to them,” said Bolan, who lives in Victorville. She successfully discharged from probation in October 2014. “The one thing I made sure that I’ve done was stay really involved in recovery and in programs. I’ve devoted 30 hours a week to Narcotics Anonymous meetings, 12step meetings, going to classes, rehabilitation, substance abuse, cognitive thinking, and learning how to function,” she said. And now, Bolan knows what she wants to do with her life. “I want to go back to school,” she said. “I’m gonna go into drug and alcohol counseling – that’s definitely what I want to do.”

Study hopes to promote walkable neighborhoods

PHOTO COURTESY UC RIVERSIDE

Results of a UC Riverside study to promote walkable neighborhoods will be presented on Thursday, Apr. 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the UCR College of Engineering-Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT), 1084 Columbia Ave., Riverside.

riving versus walking. In many parts of the globe and in communities peppered around the U.S. the latter is the preferred and/or sole method of getting from point A to point B. Unfortunately, the Inland Empire isn’t one of them. A new study conducted by UC Riverside is hoping to alter this über dependence on our vehicles by exploring means of redesigning existing neighborhoods that would integrate shopping and housing. Results of Walk Riverside will be presented this Thursday from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the UCR College of Engineering – Center for Environmental Research and Technology, 1084 Columbia Ave. The study’s researchers are Juliann Emmons Allison, UCR Center for Sustainable Suburban Development, and Nancy Jimeno, a

lecturer at CSU Fullerton. The project began in 2013 and aims to reduce reliance on cars for shopping and other activities. The Arlington and Ramona neighborhoods are the focal points of the study. “Walkability is the centerpiece of affordable and equitable ground transportation,” the researchers wrote in the project’s executive summary. “Walkable communities provide well-maintained sidewalks, paths and other means of physical access to a sufficiently diverse set of places that people can fulfill their daily and weekly needs within a 15minute walk from home. They facilitate social interaction and physical fitness, improve local economies and reduce crime, and support overall wellness and sustainability.” New urbanism is a form of development that improves public health through planning and urban design

by integrating shopping and housing in a pedestrian-friendly environment. Plans can include public transit, wider sidewalks, reduced or slowed vehicular traffic and local investment to integrate businesses into the neighborhoods. Allison, whose research in the last decade has focused on urban planning issues, said the team’s recommendations will suggest ways “to move from a traditional suburban neighborhood to a sustainable one and will become the template for other communities.”

Allison is the principal investigator for the CSSD’s portion of the project. She is an associate professor of gender and sexuality studies and public policy. Her research and teaching interests emphasize political economy, environmental politics and policy, and community-based social change,

especially as it relates to the gendered dimensions of environmental sustainability and conflict resolution. Nancy Jimeno, who earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in political science at UCR, is a lecturer in American government and California politics at CSU Fullerton. Her research interest in the role of land use decision-making for improving the quality of life in communities derives from her experiences as a fifth-generation southern Californian who has experienced unsettling changes associated with the state’s rapid growth. The presentation, “Walk Riverside: Community-based Planning for Sustainable Lifestyles,” is free and open to the public. It is part of the Randall Lewis Seminar Series presented by the UCR Center for Sustainable Suburban Development (CSSD).

he Perris Hill Senior Center in the City of San Bernardino is the new host for the AARP Chapter 224 Ballroom Dance group. They have been meeting at the Senior Center since January 2015. Previously the AARP dance group has met at Patton State Hospital employee's cafeteria. The AARP Chapter 224 dance group draws dancers from all over the Inland Empire including Riverside, Fontana, Rialto, Highland, Yucaipa, Mentone and Redlands. When the music starts the dance floor is normally packed. These ballroom dancers dance to the Waltz, Foxtrot, Rumba, Samba, Salsa, Tango, Night Club TwoStep, Swing and Mambo music. They have been dancing long before the popular dance show "Dancing with the Stars" was conceived. Currently DJ's Keith and Brenda Breen, owners of Signet Sounds provide the music. They specialize in providing ballroom music to the Inland Empire. Sallie Acero is

the current President of AARP Chapter 224 group and with the help of her partner Dick Fixsen, she is able to produce a weekly two-hour event. AARP Chapter 224 has a dance almost every Saturday morning of the month. This Chapter meets for two hours from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm for ballroom dancing and a short meeting. The City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Department has agreed to have the AARP Ballroom Dance as a regular program at the senior center. Anyone is welcome to attend the AARP dances even if you are not a member or a senior. There is a dance fee of $4.00 to cover the cost of the DJ's, snacks, drinks and coffee. At the entrance of the dance floor Marion Schick and her niece Beverly Swanson greet you and make sure your attendance is recorded. They will look up to see if you have had a recent birthday or anniversary to celebrate. This AARP group enjoys recognizing special events, new guests and the holidays. Bob (80) and Natalie (88) Forbes

are first time guests to the dance and were recognized for being newlyweds. They were married on February 7. To honor Bob and Natalie they danced to the Anniversary Waltz before the group. Bernie (97) and Kay (90) Lemay have been married for 69 years and have been members of the AARP group for many years. Ballroom dancing events in the Inland Empire are scarce and when they do happen they attract patrons of all ages and from various locations. The ballroom dance circuit is a close knit of dancers in the Inland Empire and many of the same dancers attend the same dance events. Although the AARP Chapter does not provide dance lessons there are several instructors that attend to enjoy the environment including the DJ's Keith and Brenda. No partners are necessary since Ballroom etiquette allows men (including those with partners) to rotate and ask single ladies to dance. Special "mixer dances" will rotate partners about every 30 seconds to allow everyone dance time on the floor. Buddy (Duncan) Fox from Fontana has been attending the AARP Dance group for a few years and brought a first time guest Gardena Gomez from Yucaipa. Buddy is a retired "Live" musical entertainer and still sings at the Rialto Senior Center and at several Karaoke venues. The Inland Empire's past history has hosted several Ballroom Dance venues including the Grand Ballroom in San Bernardino and the Chris Davis Supper Club in Rialto, which are currently closed down now. However, there are still many senior centers and dance studios that currently offer both ballroom dance opportunities and dance lessons. The Highland Senior Center offers free ballroom lessons to the community every Tuesday night from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm every week! For additional information on the Local AARP Chapter 224 dance activities, contact Sallie Acero at 909-425-0846.

Women Empowerment Through Art

Nikki Arce and Elda Camarena piece entitled invisible Weight. consisting of three weight scales depicting the nasty truth of the pain people feel when society weighs in on an individual's weight.

By Michael Segura, Community Writer

rt can be instrumental to bring forth awareness for issues affecting our society; with its ability to provoke emotion it becomes a catalyst for changing our culture with the dialogue it creates. Women's Month, which took place during March, provided San Bernardino Valley College an opportunity to host empowering events. They consisted of a Chicana feminist workshop, a viewing

of a documentary called Killing Us Softly which depicts how women are portrayed in the media, and an Art Pop Up Booth that took place on March 30. Curated by M.E.Ch.A. member Nikki Arce, the Pop Up Art Booth aimed to open up the minds and eyes of students about the harsh reality of issues that both young and elder women face in our modern day society. “Unfortunately women get abused and they cover it up with makeup," said Nancy Perez, the artist behind the artwork entitled

Cover Up—a pastel piece depicting a young lady staring into a mirror covering up her bruises with makeup. "What are they covering? Be truthful even though it hurts. People can learn from what you're going through.” Another controversial piece was Invisible Weight, created by Nikki Arce and Elda Camarena. The display consists of three different weight scales. All of the scales were broken and had numbers painted in a blood ranging from 75 lbs to 341 lbs. There are negative words replacing the area where

you usually read your weight. The stigma about weight in our society induces hate about one self’s body weight, fear about their appearance, and pain for feeling as if they are not good enough the way they are. "Some people do fear stepping on a scale because of the number they are going to see,” Arce said. “I think it’s something people need to self reflect on because weight is just a number; it does not define you.” Leslie Martin an Art student at SBVC said she agrees with the art-

works and their message to women. “I think it’s so important. I like that she’s bringing this up because I have issues with that myself about losing weight,” explained Leslie. “We need to put it out there to let them know its not all about our body and the physical appearances but what’s inside.” Other clubs who participated include the Art Club, Alpha Gamma Sigma, the Writer's Block, and the Psych Club.

Carter's 2-time SAL title team starts new era with 4-0 win in CBL opener

By Harvey M. Kahn

arter High School baseball players re-introduced themselves to the Citrus Belt League with an impressive 40 win at Yucaipa in the conference opener for both teams on Tuesday. Sophomore Anthony Villegas accepted the challenge of Carter coach Samuel Lopez to pitch the opener and in the process earned his first high school win. Villegas was an emergency starter and responded by shutting out heavy hitting Yucaipa over the entire seven innings while allowing five hits, with four strikeouts and did not walk a batter. Carter improves to 10-4 this season. The Lions have returned to the CBL after performing in the San Andreas League the past two seasons where it won two SAL titles with exact 14-1 records. Lopez said he informed Villegas before the Yucaipa game that it was time for him to come into his own. "I told him that today was going to be

his big day and it was," said Lopez. Villegas said he relied on his team's defense and other than that, tried not to think to much. "I just did it. There was no joking around. I didn't do anything special," said Villegas. "I threw some curves, fastball's and some change-ups early in the game." The only YHS base runner to reach second base was Erik Sandoval, who doubled in the sixth. Villegas was backed by his team's ten hits, highlighted by a solo home run in the seventh by Isaiah Davis, who finished by going 2-for-4 with two RBI. Teammate Valentine Douglas went 2for-3 with a run scoring triple. Marcos Castanon and Roger Fair added two hits each. Davis, Castanon and Fair are each batting over .400. Carter enters the CBL with plenty of experienced talent. Chris Lujan, Adam Lovell, Ryan Maestas and Luis Hernandez are playing varsity for a fourth season.

Lujan is a two-time All-SAL performer who led the team as a freshman with 30 hits and 20 RBI and added a .366 batting average. Castanon, a first team All-SAL last season as a freshman, had a team high 35 hits and compiled a .407 average. Eduardo Martinez hit .453 last year and was also AllSAL. Davis hit .349 last season and senior Adam Lovell finished at .328. It will not be easy for Lopez to replace the graduated Jesse Gonzales, a All-CIF performer who batted .436 and posting a 10-1 record as a pitcher, but now performs at UCR. All-SAL pitcher John Ladazuri also graduated after going 8-2 last season. Although its too early to tell, Lopez is hoping the young Villegas can remain in the starting rotation. Senior Ricky Hernandez has won a starting spot after putting up an early 3-2 record with a 3.71 ERA. Another senior, Noah Ford has a impressive 2-1 mark with two saves and a 1.78 ERA. Robert Serrano is cur-

rently 2-0, with a 1.35 ERA. With a grueling 14-game CBL season against some fierce opposition, Lopez will likely need the arms of Evan Fatino and Andrew Avalos. There were reports that Davis could also become a presence on the mound. Lujan, Martinez, Castanon and Davis say they welcome the new CBL competition. "Yes. It's a higher level and it's good to be back in the CBL," said Lujan, who played in the CBL as a freshman. "We'll have the same approach but better competition will make us better as a team," said Martinez. Castanon added that he loves the chance at new competition. He took it a step further. "Not only do I think we'll win the league championship, I know we will." The power hitting Davis took a different view. He feels his team's strong point is defense. "The reason we're a good team is that it's a good group of guys who bond together."

Yucaipa blanks Carter 1-0

PHOTO/RICHARD DAWSON

Joseph Chapman tossed five scoreless innings as Yucaipa picked up a 1-0 win over Carter at the County Clash on April 4.

By Richard Dawson

ne early miscue by Carter proved that be the difference in a 1-0 loss to Yucaipa during Citrus Belt League action at San Manuel Stadium on April 4. The County Clash nightcap was quick-paced and featured strong pitching performances from both Carter (10-5, 1-1 league) starter Ricky Hernandez and Yucaipa (86, 1-1 league) starter Joseph Chapman. Hernandez hadn’t quite found his command in the top of the first however, as he walked lead-off hitter Tyler VanMarter, retired William Reyes on a come-backer, and then walked Hunter Reade to put two-on with one out for the cleanup hitter Chapman, who is a touted prospect for his pitching but swings a good bat. VanMarter grabbed a good lead after the first pitch to Chapman, prompting an errant pickoff attempt by Hernan-

dez that ended up in centerfield, allowing VanMarter to score for an early 1-0 Yucaipa lead. Chapman walked before Cory Moore grounded into a double play to end the threat. The one run was all Chapman would need as the senior crushed through five innings, limiting the Lions offense to two hits and two walks while striking out three to earn the win. Meanwhile, Hernandez settled in and allowed just four hits and four walks and the one earned run while he weaved his way through seven innings. Lefty senior Austin Amante, who was celebrating his birthday, tossed two scoreless innings in relief to pick up the save for Yucaipa. Yucaipa travels to Cajon as CBL action continues on April 7 before returning home to play the Cowboys on April 9. Carter will look to bounce back at home and away in two matchups against CBL newcomer Citrus Valley on those same days.

Bloomington hangs on to beat Colton 10-8

By Richard Dawson

t was the comeback that wasn’t, and the Bruins are just fine with that. Bloomington held off a seventh inning rally by Colton to win 10-8 during the County Clash at San Manuel Stadium on Saturday, April 4. Starting pitcher Abraham Ramirez had been cruising throughout the one-sided affair with Bloomington taking an eightrun lead into Colton’s last at-bats, but that is when the Yellowjackets (7-7, 2-2 league) started to heat up against their Sunkist League rivals. Walks to Chris Wood and Peter Reyes sandwiched a single by Ricardo Aguirre to load the bases with no outs. Matthew Rossano followed with an RBI single and the bases stayed loaded, but not for long. Catcher Andrew Mckeehan drilled a 2-1 pitch over the left fielder for three-run double to close the gap to 10-6, still with no outs. Javier Hernandez was brought in on relief and allowed a single to Jared Campa to score another run before recording consecutive strikeouts. Singles by Alex Mckeehan and Wood made it 10-8, bringing the tying run to the plate in Aguirre, but Hernandez induced a game-ending flyball to left to seal the game for the Bruins (9-5, 2-2). Bloomington was up 2-0 after two innings, but did most of its damage in the third. Three-consecutive one-out singles by Dillon Krah, Ramirez and Mike Adams made it 3-0. Jake Martin added a two-run double to left-center to end the day for Colton starter Alex Mckeehan. Johnny Romero capped off the four-run inning with an RBI double off Kris Camarillo. The Bruins added two more in the fourth and seventh to build a 10-2 lead. Ramirez picked up the win despite the rough seventh, striking out four in the process. Johnson finished with three hits in the game to lead the Bruins.

Easter egg hunt event gathers community at Indian Springs

By Anthony Victoria, Community Writer

an Bernardino youngsters scavenged for some 30,000 eggs during the Kingdom Culture Worship Center’s (KC) fifth-annual Easter Egg Hunt that took place at Indian Springs High School on Saturday April 4. Hundreds of people attended the event, where residents also munched on free food and beverages, and partook in free live entertainment and games. The event was first held in 2010—the year the Kingdom Culture Worship opened it’s center in San Bernardino. KC has served over 2,000 people in the city, for the sake of providing, “the life giving power of Jesus Christ.” “The whole idea is to give resources to the community,” said pastors Sherman and Jaquet Dumas. “In other words it is the, ‘Gift of Giving’. We want the community to receive benefit.” Mrs. Dumas, with the help of several children, told the story of Jesus Christ to a small crowd. The children were all given items that represented the story: a donkey--the

animal Jesus used rode into Jerusalem that also represented his humility--and silver coins, which represented Judas greed and betrayal. Mrs. Dumas emphasized the need to recognize the true importance of Easter Sunday. “Easter is more than eggs, candy, or a bunny,” she emphasized. “It is about the story of Jesus Christ. We cannot take that for granted.” Manuel Huerta of San

Bernardino, whose son Aiden, 2, participated in the toddler egg hunt, said events like these help children build good memories. “This is his first Easter,” he said. “I’m sure he won’t forget it.” Students from Indian Springs High School, San Bernardino Valley College, and Cal State San Bernardino volunteered during the event.

Brown hosts water roundtable following passage of $1 Billion Water Package

The new laws were drafted and expedited because of the increasing severity of drought conditions. The law will allocate over $1 billion, which will fund various water projects in the most impacted areas.

ey water district leaders assembled for a meeting hosted by Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) on Thursday, April 2, to discuss top priorities and funding opportunities following the passage of AB 91 and AB 92, the emergency drought relief package signed by Governor Brown on Friday, March 27. These new laws were drafted and expedited because of the increasing severity of drought conditions. The law will allocate over $1 billion, which will fund various water projects in the most impacted areas. “As a region, we need to work together to secure the dedicated fund-

ing to protect our water supply,” said Assemblymember Brown. “If we don’t start looking at how we’re going to maximize that funding across the state, we’re going to be left behind.” Currently, the legislation will add $72 million to the General Fund, $272 million to Prop 1, $660 million to Prop 1E, and $57 million to various other projects. “Although this funding is just a fraction of what’s needed, it should help stabilize our existing supplies,” said Assemblymember Brown. The meeting, attended by county administrative and district leaders from San Bernardino Water

Dept., Fontana Water Company, West Valley Water District, Colton Public Utilities, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and San Bernardino County Public Works, also discussed water storage, groundwater replenishment, water efficiency campaigns, water quality for fish and wildlife, and the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. “The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is a local benefit to us,” said Aldstadt. “Groundwater has to be replenished, otherwise we have to start lowering groundwater levels. Normally we would get snowmelt from Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, but we’re not getting that. We’re all connected to the Delta so if we can’t get water supplies and we don’t have natural recharge, we have to rely on artificial recharge, which is recycled water or the State Project.” Water conservation efforts continue to be a critical component of water management. On Tuesday, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order mandating restrictive water use. In his document, he directed the State Water Resources Control Board to impose a mandatory 25 percent reduction in state water resources. “For the past several years, our region has been an innovator in water conservation, turf replacement programs, water efficient products, and the use of recycled water. We need to continue to conserve as much water as possible and address our water needs,” said Assemblymember Brown. “Our future depends on the decisions we make today.” For more information, contact Ashley Jones at (909) 381-3238.

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.

guanas, and canines, and kittens! Oh My!

America’s Family Pet Expo returns this weekend to the OC Fair & Event Center with hundreds of animals ready to find a forever home. And this year’s event brings dozens of Inland Empire-based exhibitors including the San Bernardino-Riverside German Shepherd Dog Club, Montclair’s The Burrow Bunny Ranch, 2nd Chances Pet Adoption, Romoland’s Akita Rescue and Redlands’ Fur and Feather Llama Ranch, just to name a few. “If it’s a domesticated animal that can be had as a pet, it’s going to be there,” said Doug Poindexter, president of World Pet Association, presenter of the annual pet expo. “There’s nothing like having a great animal at home and we’re just trying to give everyone an opportunity to see what pet is right for them.” Last year, more than 700 pets

were adopted and the hope is to break that record at this weekend’s event, he added. All weekend long, guests will have the opportunity to meet, see and interact with creatures of all types—great and small—from rare birds, exotic reptiles, colorful fish, miniature horses and fancy felines to pawsitively perfect pups. One of the expo’s major highlights is the ever-amazing Splash Dogs, a group of high-energy canines, showing off their dock jumping and dock diving skills into a 20-foot pool. Show times are scheduled throughout the day during the weekend. This year’s event also brings a new showcase, the debut of a new breed of cats, “werewolf cat”, called a Lykoi. The reveal will be during the TICA Cat Show, which will also feature a fur-raising cat agility course. Among the shows returning to the expo include Repticon, a reptile show featuring snakes, lizards and iguanas, police dog demonstrations, The Birdman of Las Vegas, pig races, and the main event, dog agility contests.

While the show’s offer plenty of excitement, the aim of the expo is to educate guests on various animal breeds through a variety of animal stage shows, features and attractions, organizers said. New pet products from industry leaders will also be offered at special show pricing throughout the weekend. America’s Family Pet Expo returns April 10-12 to the OC Fair & Event Center, 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa. General Admission is $13; seniors 60 and over, $11; children 612, $8 and 5 yrs and under, free. Admission for active and retired military is free with ID.
