“Today is an historic moment forpublic transportation in SanBernardino county,” says AlanWapner, Board Chairman for Om-nitrans. “It’s really a first step intothe future and for the next genera-tion of public transportation. This isjust a beginning for us.”Celebrations also included a ridealong that hosted San Bernardino

Mayor, Carey Davis along with for-mer mayor Pat Morris, whomshowed up in full bike-riding gearin support of public transportation.“It’s a great day in San Bernardinoand I am really proud to be part ofthis celebration. I had an opportu-nity this morning to be one of thefirst riders of the sbX with formerMayor, Pat Morris and I want tothank him for his leadership that hehas provided our community

throughout the many years that hehas been a resident and citizen ofSan Bernardino.”“I appreciate public transportationand the value it can be to the com-munity. I enjoy riding theMetrolink and I’ve enjoyed ridingthe bus this morning because itgives us an opportunity to come to-gether and unify us as a commu-nity,” continued Davis. The project included the construc-

tion of 16 new stations and fourpark and ride locations along the15.7 mile corridor, strategicallyplaced along key, high traffic areasnear universities, commercial areas,entertainment districts and medicalfacilities.

Words to think about: Four EthnicGroups still behind modern times

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

By any measurement ourearth is a modern world.We don’t want any coun-

try left behind. However, I want toshare with you four ethnic groupsthat are far behind.I have visited them, shared time

with them and studied them. Theyare: the ABORIGINALS of Aus-tralia. The TARAHUMARAS ofMexico. The MAASAI of EasternAfrica. The AUCA INDIANS ofBrazil.Anthropologists believe that theAboriginals of Australia have theearliest history of any people onearth. They originated in theSerengeti desert and migrated toAustralia many thousands of yearsago.Australia is a strange country inthat the outer borders of the conti-nent are civilized and modern.From Cairns to Sydney on the East,to the South with Melbourne andAdelaide, to the West and Perth.But the center is mainly desert, dryand inhabited mainly by aborigi-nals.They have no written language;only an oral one. The colonizationof the country began in the early1800’s. Two movies, “CrocodileDundee” and Tom Sellack’s“Quigley Down Under” give excel-lent descriptions of the aboriginals.I spent some time with them inAlice Springs and Kuranda, I wasaware of in two unique aspects oftheir lives. First, was their depend-ence on dreams. The more than 500tribes all depend on dreams that de-fine their beliefs and ways of living.The dreams depict their lives be-

fore birth and after death. Second,is their use of didjeridu. This is along tube that they blow with thelips like a trumpet. The sound iseerie and melancholy.I found them to be sociable,friendly and easy to communicatewith. There was also a decided dis-like for most white people. Justifi-ably so.The Tarahumara Indians of North-ern Mexico are about as primitiveas anyone can be. More native thanAztecs and the Mayas, they werenever conquered. Only a few thou-sand remain today and they are set-tled in the Barranca deCobre-Copper Canyon. Poverty is a weak word to de-

scribe their living conditions. Mostof them live in caves and their foodstaples are meager-corn and beans.They do grow a few vegetables andtheir meat supply is supplied by themen.Tarahumara men are noted fortheir running ability. They aremarathoners. Long distance run-ners. They can run down deer. Thedeer give up before they do. Education is non-existent and re-ligion is determined by shamans.The biggest threats to their livesthese days are the Mexican druglords. They want their lands andminerals.The MAASAI of Eastern Africaare a majestic people. Many ofthem, both men and women, are sixfeet or more tall. They standstraight as a pole. For thousands ofyears their ancestors have lived inKenya and Tanzania. The area iscalled “The Cradle of Mankind.”Throughout the areas of land they

still have, the huts are scattered,usually about ten to a unit. Thechief keeps a wife in each hut. Hisfamily herds the cows.Unique to all Maasai is the wear-ing of red. It identifies them. Peaceloving by nature, they are naturalenemy of lions. It is said the “kingof the jungle” is afraid of all Maa-sai.I found them distinctive in citieslike Nairobi, Kenya. Their heightand the color of their clothes. Cul-turally they have their own lan-guage; abhor the white man’s laws,

education and religion. They are in-dependent and want to stay bythemselves.The most exciting visit I’ve had

with primitive people was the Aucanatives of Ecuador and Brazil.Their name means “savage.” InJanuary, 1956, five missionarieswere massacred in the jungle. Thegroup’s leader was Nate Saint,known as the “Jungle Pilot” for theMissionary Aviation Fellowship.They were all killed by the Auca.A few years ago I went to theAmazon jungle by long boat andstayed several weeks in a grass huton a bluff above the river. No pro-tection or light-except kerosenelamps. Food was cooked by char-coal.We hiked, fished, and exploredthe area. On one trip, six of ushiked about five miles to and Aucavillage. Supposedly they werefriendly. They were.They taught us how to use theirblowguns with poisoned darts. An-imals and humans were paralyzedby the darts. Then killed, as werethe missionaries.We had taken items to barter with.They had no use for Brazilian orU.S.A. currency. One day I noticedthe wristband on the chief. It wasfrom the skin of a jaguar. I offeredmoney for it but he refused. Hewanted my tennis shoes. Fortu-nately I had a pair of flip flop san-dals with me. By the way, I stillhave the wristband.All the natives wore loin clothes,with nothing above. Their tribalunit was based on their family.All of the four groups have sev-

eral things in common. 1) They areprimitive. 2) They have their ownlanguage. 3) They have religiousbeliefs. 4) As we see them, they areuneducated. 5) The family structureis strong. 6) Their way of life is sat-isfying to them. 7) Our modernway of life is slowly but surely, di-minishing their numbers. Amen. Selah. So be it.

It can wait.Let’s talk about work for aminute; maybe five. If you’ve read my previouscolumns, you know there arethree things I’m passionate about:writing, videography, and skin.The third one always throws peo-ple off but it’s a great combinationfor me and one day it will allcome together.Okay, well in all honesty, I leftmedia during my quarter life cri-sis to pursue a career in skincareand makeup. That didn’t workoutexactly like my twentysome-thingish brain pictured it, so hereI am. I tend to look to the older andwiser for words of wisdom in allthree fields. I like to learn fromanyone willing to dish out advice.I recently had a conversation witha friend of mine who’s been awriter/producer for about 25 yearsabout writing for print and video.She always has the greatest in-sight and her last bit of advice be-fore we hung up really resonatedwith me. Her words were, “Don’tget too wrapped up because it willconsume you.”There is so much truth to thatstatement. And, in my case- toolittle too late. As any passionateprofessional will attest, the thingsyou love will absolutely consumeyour every other thought. For me,the simple task of reading a bookor watching a show is a com-pletely different experience thanthat of someone who doesn’t

write or edit video. Example: I’m watching Man v.Food with the familia and sure, Imay be physically staring at thescreen like everyone else in theroom, but my mind going a thou-sand miles per minute thinking,“Hey, that was a great intro.” or“That’s so awesome, He said cY-OUlinary and not cULLinary.” or“Delectable? Why do they alwayssay ‘delectable’? Who writes thisstuff?”Sometimes my thoughts spillover and I end up asking my hus-band, “Rewind it really quick.Did you notice the audio is off?”or “That was a terrible jump cut!”- or something to that effect. Hisusual response is a quick rollingof the eyes. But he loves me sosometimes I do get the “just nodand agree” bit from him. I suppose it can be a doubleedged sword to find what youtruly love to do. I can go for hourstalking about words, computersand video. Just ask anyone whoknows me well and I can guaran-tee they will tell you, “Don’t gether started because you wont gether to shut up!” After the conversation with myfriend, I started thinking. Ithought about how often I go tobed thinking about my kids andfamily versus work and projects. Irealized that I and the people Isurround myself with do have thatone thing in common. Our work,our passion, consumes us. Andit’s by choice.Have you ever had those dayswhen you’ve got so much on yourmind that you’re literally thinkingabout it in your sleep? It’s likeyou’re dreaming but you’re alsorunning down your to-do list andchecking off what’s been doneand what needs to be done. Yes?No? Maybe? Happens all the timeto me. Now I’m working diligently tofind a balance between work, pas-times and home in order to nottake away precious time with myfamily. My little one will only bethree once, and my older one willonly be 15 once. That’s more thanenough reason to remember: Itcan wait. I don’t think I could ever go anevening without thinking aboutthe things I’m passionate about;It’s not in my nature. But I’vecome to realize that what reallymatters is what I come home to.Moments with the ones I love arefleeting. Every day I’m remindedof how fragile life is and how sillyit is to sweat the small stuff. God. Husband. Kids. Everythingelse will find its place.

I was very shocked by our mayorMonday during the SanBernardino City Council meeting.

I couldn’t believe what I saw andheard. Many of us thought, as Idid, that maybe we would have adecent new mayor, although as ofMonday night, I realized we havejust another version of bad, non-caring, inconsiderate mayors.

Mayor Davis left me with manyquestions.

Never have I ever heard of publiccomments having only so muchtime allowed. Yet Monday night,Mayor Davis suddenly shut off

people from talking saying the al-lotted time was up for the publiccomments. I get the three-minutetime limit but to suddenly say pub-lic comments are done when therewere many more people thatwanted to speak, was unacceptablebehavior to say the least.

Yes, there were a lot of speakerson the city shelter Monday, andrightfully so, although there wereothers there to speak on other top-ics.

The mayor’s job is to sit thereand listen to the people of this city.After all, we pay his wages and heworks for the public not the other

way around!

Questions come to mind: Doeshe not care about animals? Doeshe not care about what the peopleof this city have to say? Does henot understand that we pay hissalary? Or does he not understandthat being a mayor can be takenaway by the voters? It is called re-call!

Does our mayor have a heart?That remains to be seen.

Mayor’s job is to listen to all who wish to

There is a business called COWEST COMMODITIES that islocated at 1389 W. Mill St SanBernardino CA 92410. This facil-ity processes animal by products.I don't know what it is they areputting in the air, but it smells hor-rible. Like decaying flesh, carcass,animal skin or a rotten baseballglove. If the smell alone wasn't

bad enough, there are clouds offallout coming from this facility.This fallout contains what lookslike fibers or ash. This fallout oc-curs at varied times and duration.I have complained to the AQMDtwice and it would appear they arenot eager to pursue this companyfor whatever reason. I suspectthere is some serious health con-cerns here.

I am a Colton resident and this issomething that has been botheringresidents in the vicinity of the out-

door Swap Meet for a long time. Italso affects the nearby shoppingcenter and bothers us at theMetrolink EMF on Bordwell Ave.I have a theory as to why it hasn'tbeen a big subject in the news yet.That is because of the Hispanicpopulation in the area, these peo-ple for the most part do not like tocomplain about anything or makewaves. The time has come wheresomething must be done.

Mike Brunelle,Colton

Horrible odor coming from local business

Many people who live in small,quiet towns are convinced thatlarge cities are sinful. And they areright. Large cities are sinful be-cause residents from those smalltowns flock to the large cities to dotheir sinning. Monrovia might beone of those small communitiesand I hope it never changes.

My wish is that Monrovians whowant to do some hell-raising goelsewhere to distract themselves

and allow Monrovia to remain bor-ing. From my house I can view upclose the San Gabriel Mountains,which are quite dull. After all, theyjust stand there and offer no ex-citement. I love to gaze at them!

Our downtown shops and therestaurants I patronize offer nosensational allurement either. In-stead, they are staffed with friendlypeople who greet each of their cus-tomers with unfailing cheerful-

ness.

And oh, the city’s storefronts arereally boring. Imagine, no graffiti!We don’t even have any noisy barsto jar our ears with loud rap music.Yes, Monrovia is a boring town.Oh, how I love it!

David Quintero,Monrovia

Monrovia a boring town? That’s OK with him

Baby boomers are aging rapidly.It is time for California to recon-sider a ballot issue on end-of-lifechoices that allows death with dig-nity, not shame. If facing a painfulterminal illness, freedom of choiceof all medical options must bemade available.

I ask that these issues be consid-ered:

• Americans are free to choosehow they live and, when the timecomes, how they die. Like Roe v.Wade, this is obvious.

• End-of-life choices should beleft to the individual, his familyand doctor. The choices should beguided by medical standards, notthe whims of politicians.

• Support for end-of-life choice is

consistently strong — in red states,in blue states, across demographicgroups and religions. This strongsupport has held steady for twodecades.

If interested, please contact Com-passionAndChoices.org, or call800-247-7421.

Record-setting hoop coach Tom Morrowselected to Colton HOF

By Harvey M. Kahn

Tom Morrow got a job atColton High School be-cause he could speak

Spanish. By 1947, he began a 24-year tenure as the Yellowjackets'basketball coach, ultimately lead-ing Colton to nine league titles.Many he coached wound up in theColton Sports Hall of Fame. Mor-row coached Colton HOF greatslike Ken and Keith Hubbs, CamiloCarreon, Dennis Crane, RichDauer, Norm Housley, John Dotyand Danny Carrasco. Broadwayperformer Johnny Brascia was onMorrow's 1951-52 teams.Morrow already had enough inhis resume while still active to beinducted into the inaugural South-ern California Basketball CoachesHall of Fame of 1963. It tookColton 50 years but Morrow willbe formally inducted into its Hallof Fame on April 25th. Morrowdied in 1994. "The only question Ihave is what took Colton so long,"said Morrow contemporary KentHayden."For Morrow to be voted into the

Coaches Hall of Fame while stillcoaching doesn't usually happen."Likewise, Hayden was voted intothe Coaches HOF in 2000 after 32years at Yucaipa High. Bothcoached against National Basket-ball HOF member Jerry Tarkanianwhen he was the Redlands Highcoach. Hayden played againstMorrow's Colton team when hewent to San Bernardino High. Helater coached against him. "Mor-

row was always very formidableto go against."Roy Cook played on Morrow's

first league championship team in1952 when Colton was in the Cit-rus Belt League. Cook was Mor-row's second player to be namedfirst team All-CIF. Tom Williamswas the first in 1950. "He was a fa-ther-figure to most of the kidswhose own father's didn't have aformal education," recalled Cookduring a phone interview from his

home in Saratoga, CA. Cook, 80will travel to Colton to attend Mor-row's induction. "He'd point outyour mistakes and try to help youcorrect them. It was inspiring andenjoyable to play for him. Whenhe'd call a play, it produced re-sults." Cook's brother, Bruce laterplayed for Morrow. Morrow's son, also named Tom,is not named for his father. "I amnamed after his first great playerTom Williams." The younger Mor-

row said it was intimidating play-ing as a sixth man for his father.He spent most of the 1970 seasonas a point guard passing to team-mate Rich Dauer. He said his dadplayed baseball and basketball atArizona State College (NorthernArizona State), before signingwith the St. Louis Cardinals in aninjury shortened career as apitcher. Morrow came to Colton at age-35. He previously coached and

taught in Douglas, Arizona andLos Angeles. During World War II,he worked at Lockhead. He wasborn in 1912 in Brice, Missouriwhich no longer exists. He ledColton to the CIF-championshipgame three times, once in 1958with Ken Hubbs at point guard. "Isaw my dad cry only once and thatwas when Ken Hubbs died," saidMorrow. He said his dad wascalled the "Old Fox" because ofhis trick plays. "Usually, it wasrun, run, run. Fast breaks and fullcourt press."Ted Housley and Ron Doty wereboth a part of many brother's whoplayed for Morrow. Both admit tobeing the lesser known sibling.Norm Housley and John Dotyteamed with Hubbs on the 1958CIF semi-final team. "He was abig man. About 6-foot-4. He was alegend. You knew where you stoodwith him," said Ron Doty. "Heonce told me I didn't work hardenough. It still motivates me."Morrow also coached brother'sKirk and Craig Hubbs and Bobbyand Danny Carrasco in baseballand basketball.Ted Housley said Morrow wasthe John Wooden of high schoolbasketball, who could coach, teachand brought out the best in hisplayers. "You knew who was incharge. He was a legend in hisown time," said Ted Housley. "Itwas a great honor to play for him.He had some great teams. In 1961,I was not on one of his betterteams."

Veteran youth baseball official, coach, manager,Ruben Acevedo picked for Colton HOF

By Harvey M. Kahn

Based on the many hours,days and years that RubenAcevedo volunteered to

the youth in Colton, he will for-mally inducted into the ColtonSports Hall of Fame on April 25th.Almost since its inception in 1952,Acevedo has been associated withthe growth of Little League base-ball in Colton.

Starting as a player, then man-ager, coach and finally as an um-pire. He umpired the ColtonMercuries semi-pro games. In1983, Acevedo was selected as oneof 12 umpires from a pool of thou-

sands from 11 states to officiatethe Little League Western Re-gional's in San Bernardino. Thatyear's West Region title game be-tween Northern California and Ne-vada was one of the first to betelevised nationally from SanBernardino.

As District-21 umpire-and-chief, Acevedo organized umpiresinto an informal association to in-sure quality and integrity overgames held in Colton. He triedwithout success to form an officialumpire's association. "We wantedto make sure that umpire's weren'tjust being picked out of the standsand that young ump's were getting

proper instruction."Acevedo's hall-of-fame plaque

will read that he volunteered from1966-1986. "Those were the yearswe could verify. I was not doingthat with the intention of everbeing honored. I remember hear-ing my daughter (Brenda) say shewas going to submit my name forthe HOF, but I didn't think I wasgood enough," said Acevedo."When I heard that I'd been se-lected, I was surprised. I think it'sbecause of the amount of time vol-unteering and due to my umpiringat the Western Regional. I'll repre-sent those who spent the time butnever got recognized. It's nice."

Acevedo recalled that makingthe Colton Little League majorswas a difficult feat when he playedbecause there were once just fourteams. "I played Little League mi-nors and at Colton High playedjunior varsity baseball. I did runcross country and track two yearsat Colton." He pointed out that Lit-tle League was once Colton's onlysummer spectator sport. "Therewould be 500-600 people at all-star games. The snack bar wouldsell-out."

He recently retired from theColton Joint Unified School Dis-

trict as department head in mainte-nance where he was responsiblefor air-conditioning, ventilationand heating. As an umpire,Acevedo said that you can't be per-fect. "Yes, I heard the fans sayingthings. That goes with the job. Ithink they appreciated me."Acevedo acknowledged that soc-cer is becoming more popular withyouth and the beauty of baseball isbeing surpassed by the fasterpaced soccer. "Baseball is a skillsport. You don't see kids playing iton the street corners anymore."

Arrowhead United Way Hosted Read with a Professional forLocal Elementary School Students

Arrowhead United Wayheld a “Read with a Pro-fessional” event on Fri-

day, April 11th for local elementarystudents. The event, which was held atBradley Elementary School, helpedstudents learn about different his-torical figures and their persever-ance in attaining their goals.Students were able to hear storiesabout individuals with different dis-abilities and other stories from dif-ferent cultures such as AfricanAmerican, Arabic, Asian, Cambo-dian, Caucasian and Dominican,just to name a few. Students alsolearned about various professions,how to get into college and whatcollege is like.During the event, thirty profes-sionals visited twenty-nine class-rooms (Preschool- 6th Grade andSpecial Education) and had forty-five minutes to read, talk abouttheir professional/college experi-ence and answer questions for thestudents. The volunteers were cre-ative in sharing their professions.Many brought PowerPoint presen-tations, poster boards with pictures,gifts pertaining to their career topass out to the students, and onenurse even brought her stethoscopeto check the students’ heartbeat. Afew individuals who shared theircollege experience brought pic-tures, brochures about their college,graduation sashes along with capand gowns for the students to tryon. This experience made going tocollege that much more tangible forthe students. Jaiden Hernandez,3rd grade female student said, “Myfavorite part was when the readercame and told us about her job. Weasked her questions and she read usa new book." Thanks to Target, ArrowheadUnited Way was able to donate$1,000 worth of new books toBradley Elementary School. Jen-nifer Pullen, Kindergarten Teachersaid, “The kids really enjoyed thereaders. They liked hearing aboutgoing to college and being able toask questions about the different ca-reers. The best part was the bookswe received for our classroom li-brary! We hope to have more op-portunities for the community to bepart of our school culture." “Read with a Professional” was asuccess and Arrowhead United

Way could not have done it withouttheir committed and hardworkingvolunteers. Fabiola Perez, Educa-tion Assistant-San BernardinoSchool District and Tutor at ICES

education, was one of the profes-sionals that volunteered to read to a3rd grade Spanish class explained,“It was an unforgettable experiencereading to the children, encourag-

ing them to continue their educa-tion and inspiring them to reachtheir full potential. I look forwardto participating in similar events.”For more information about our

By Jazmine Collins

Parents and members of thecommunity gathered atU.S. Grant Elementary

We

offer free asthma consultations forchildren 18 and younger,” saysHuerta. Consultations includechecking blood pressure, weightand basic pulmonary function test-ing. The mobile clinic also pro-vided skin testing for possibleenvironmental triggers. “It’s important to come to theseevents because many people andfamilies don’t know about theseservices. There is a high preva-lence rate for asthma; at least 10percent per any given population.According to the CDC, 10 peopledie from asthma everyday,” con-tinues Huerta. “These events reallyhelp us to spread the word.”Paula Flores of Relay for Lifeparticipated in the Parent ResourceFair to raise cancer awareness.“We just thought it was a reallygood idea to come out. Little kidsreally don’t get an idea about can-cer awareness. They hear the wordcancer but really don’t understandwhat it is and how there are waysof preventing it, so this is just agood way to come out and get thekids more involved,” says Flores.She also states that almost everychild that approached her booth,has acknowledged knowing some-one with cancer. San Diego Charger and ColtonHigh School alumnus, ShareeceWright was a special guest at theevent.

On Saturday, May 31 SanBernardino GenerationNow (SBGN), one of the

Inland Empire’s newest youthdriven political forces to be reck-oned with, along with CHORDSand other partners, will be hostingCommUnity Fest a Perris HillPark, an all day festival (10 a.m. to6 p.m.) designed to bring peopletogether and foster political aware-ness and involvement.Founded in 2013, SBGN origi-nated at the height of SanBernardino’s recent political tur-moil that included a bankruptcyand a recall election. Many of theyoung people in the organizationhad already been actively involvedin other community organizationsbut felt the need to create a freshnew voice for San Bernardino, andin particularly for SanBernardino’s youth.But this group also wanted to adda new component to that voice; thearts. As such, many of their efforts,including political ones, involvearts and music, and CommUnityFest will be just one more exampleof that.The day will include live musicfrom Inland Empire artists, such asindie folk bands, ballet folklorico,rappers and more. There will alsobe live art taking place, meaningartists will be painting and creat-ing work on site, throughout theday, food vendors (including freshproduce), numerous non-profitbooths, arts and crafts, horseshoes,a kids area and fitness classes in-cluding yoga and martial arts.Prior to the event, new restroomdoors will be purchased, rottenwood replaced, and graffiti re-moved.But the number one purpose forhosting the event, apart frombringing people together will be to

increase political awareness andvoter education.Invitations to attend have beenextended to all candidates on theJune 3 ballot as well as to everylocal elected official who repre-sents the Perris Hill Park area.This will give constituents andvoters an opportunity to interactwith their current and upcomingleaders and express their concernsand needs.Thus far, the event’s biggestsponsors are Inland Empire HealthPlan (IEHP) and InTech butSBGN welcomes more sponsorsand collaboration. They also wel-come ideas and suggestions onhow to make the event better.“This is for everybody,” saidSBGN CommUnity Fest ChairJennica Billins. “We welcomeideas to make it better.”There are four levels of sponsor-ship available: Community Spon-sor ($500), Community ArtEnthusiast ($250), CommunityLeader ($100) and Community Vi-sionary (in-kind). “Bring your friends and family.There's something fun for every-one at CommUnity Festival,” con-cluded Billens.For sponsorship and event detailscall 909-254-5959 or [email protected] general information on SanBernardino Generation Now, visittheir Facebook page atfacebook.com/SBgenerationNOW

Mathewson dominates,Kaiser routs Fontana

By Richard Dawson

Kaiser senior startingpitcher Chris Mathewsondidn’t have his A-Game

on Wednesday, April 16, but thatdidn’t stop him from striking out10 in just five innings during a 15-0 rout of Sunkist League rivalFontana High School. It is the fourth time in six startsthat Mathewson, a pitcher whosefastball routinely reaches the low90’s, struck out 10 or more batters. Mathewson’s command of hisbest pitch wasn’t as sharp as it nor-mally is, but it wasn’t too evidentas Fontana managed just one hitagainst him.“There were a lot of scouts heretoday and he pressed a little bit,”said Kaiser Head Coach MichaelSpinuzzi. “Chris is a kid who hashigh expectations every time hesteps on the mound. It wasn't oneof his best outings but he got itdone and that’s the most importantthing.”The Cats offense scored in everyinning, compiling 22 hits in thegame as 17 different playersnotched at least one plate appear-ance. Senior Ryan Mota led the waywith a 3-for-5 performance that in-

cluded a triple and five RBIs forKaiser. Fellow senior Alex Valdivia alsohad three hits with two RBIs whilefive other Cats hitters collected atleast two on the day. Sophomore Nathan Giesslercame in and struck out four whiletossing two innings in relief toclose out the game.Kaiser (15-1, 7-0 League) com-pleted the sweep of Fontana (9-7,4-3) with an 8-0 win on April 18. Mota again led the way on of-fense with three hits, including ahome run, but this time he struckout eight while pitching a shutoutin the win.As for how he manages havingso much pitching talent, Spinuzzisaid, “It’s tough, we have a lot ofgood pitchers and it is going tocontinue to be that way for thenext few years. We have playerswho could be a No. 1 at otherschools. We have a lot of depthand just try to even it out.”Kaiser plays Colton twice thisweek on April 23 and 25 whileFontana faces Bloomington.

Fontana’s Burk no-hits Kaiser By Richard Dawson

Fontana pitcher Alyssa Burkcontinued her dominatingseason by tossing a no-hit-

ter and striking out 10 in a 3-0 winover visiting Fontana Kaiser dur-ing Sunkist League action on April18. Burk nearly tossed a perfectgame, retiring the first two Kaiserbatters in the seventh inning be-fore Linda Garcia hit a hardgrounder that took a tough bounceoff short stop Angelina Gonzalez’sglove and made its way out to cen-ter to give the Cats their first baserunner of the game. Things got tense for a brief mo-ment when what looked like a rou-tine pop out by April Perez wasdropped by Burk between themound and third base bringing thetying run to the plate. Burk gathered herself and struckout Yesenia Sanchez on threestraight pitches to end the gameand punctuate her strong effort.

“She started off and she wasn't ather peak,” said Fontana HeadCoach Vanessa Castillo. “But onceshe stepped on the mound, itseemed like everything just tookover after that. She found herrhythm and she was on fire.”Gonzalez ended up played a bigpart on offense, going 3 for 3 withtwo doubles while scoring all threeruns for the Steelers. Fontana (12-5, 6-1 League) alsodefeated Kaiser 5-2 on April 16and has now won six in a rowheading into two Sunkist Leaguegames against Bloomington onApril 23 and 25. As for what has been the key tothe Steelers current hot streak,Castillo chalks it up to teamwork. “These girls have learned how toaccept each other and play to-gether,” says Castillo. “They backeach other up,. If they make a mis-take, they're there. If somethinggoes good, they're there. Kaiser will look to bounce backin league while playing Coltontwice on those same dates.

Preps and College Roundup: REV manages season sweep ofCajon, Valley College softball makes playoffs

By Anthony Victoria

Ryan Williams hit a tworun homerun in the ninthinning and Blake Tuthill

struck out eleven as Redlands EastValley beat Cajon 3-1 on Wednes-day April 16.The extra inning affair betweentwo of the top teams in the CitrusBelt League turned out to be apitchers duel with Tuthill andCajon starting pitcher Noah Jones.The latter struck out eight in 6 ⅓innings of work, only allowingfour hits and one run and Tuthillallowed two hits in nine innings ofwork.It appeared as if Cajon (11-7, 4-4) would come out as the victorwhen Shawn Neal’s lead off thefifth inning with a double and thenwould score on Mario Espinoza’s infield single with two outs.

A crucial error in the seventhproved to be the game changer forthe Wildcats (14-4, 6-1). ScottMoreno led off the inning with asingle, which led to cowboys

starter Jones getting replaced byMatt Acosta. After a sacrifice buntand groundout allowed Moreno tomove to third, Casey Sheehan hita groundball to second and shouldhave ended the game, but the ball

was dropped by the first basemanand the inning continued. Acostamanaged to escape the inningwithout further damage.With the score 1-1 in the 10th in-ning, with Zach Kirtley,Williams’s attempted slash option,which is an attempt to either buntor swing away, ended up over theleft field fence that gave REV acomfortable 3-1 lead heading intothe bottom of the inning. AnthonyCruz and Shawn Sweeney com-bined for the save to wrap up thevictory.REV would manage to get a sea-son sweep against the cowboys,winning at home by the score of12-2 on April 18.SBVC makes playoffs for firsttime since 1998A double-header sweep (10-2,11-2) of Foothill conference rivalVictor Valley meant that SanBernardino Valley’s softball teamsecured a second place finish anda spot in the CCCAA playoffs forthe first time in sixteen years.

In the first game freshman left-fielder Erin Mosqueada went 3 for3 with two runs scored and a runbatted in (RBI) and sophomorefirst baseman Antoinette Armaswent 2 for 3 with two runs scoredand an RBI. Freshman right han-der Alicia Morris (7-7) tossed fourinnings, giving up two runs (un-earned), on three hits, and sixstrike outs. Courtney Leach earnedthe save, as she threw two inningsof shutout ball, striking out one.Leach started game two and hada complete game performance,giving up two runs, on seven. Shefinished with three strike outs,earning her tenth with of the sea-son.

Cheryl Brown launches campaign headquarters with grand openingBy Anthony Victoria

Two years ago, 25-year oldJosue Castillo was workingdiligently to make sure as-

semblymember Cheryl R. Brown(47th District) received a spot in theCalifornia Assembly. From phonebanking to knocking door to dooraround the community, the aspiringlaw student made sure he gave hisfull commitment to the effort.“I would take out the trash, putpackets together, bring pizza, I ba-sically did everything,” explainedCastillo. “I did anything that helpedthe staff and the volunteers to makesure the assembly member got thevictory.”

And despite not knowingmuch about campaigning, Castillosaid that through the guidance ofsome of Brown’s key representa-tives, like district director DanielEnz, he received hands-on trainingin the political realm.“He took me under his wing,” saidCastillo. “Daniel along with chief ofstaff Larry Brousard showed mewhat to expect from a campaign andwhat to do.”Now as a field representative,Castillo, along with the help of staffaims to get Brown elected into asecond term in the assembly. OnSaturday April 19, they launchedthe grand opening of their campaignheadquarters located at 123 SouthRiverside Avenue in the city of Ri-

alto. About fifty supporters and promi-nent community leaders were pres-ent during the celebration. Rialtomayor Deborah Robertson, Coltonmayor Sarah S. Zamora, Grand Ter-race mayor Walt Stanckiewitz, SanBernardino Community CollegeDistrict Trustee Joseph Williams,and Brown’s son San BernardinoCounty Trustee Hardy Brown II,were among the elected officialspresent. The assemblymember wasalso joined by her husband HardyBrown and her two daughtersPaulette and Brown took the time to briefly ex-plain to everyone in attendanceabout the importance of the Busi-ness, Financing, and DevelopmentOpportunities select committee that

she chairs for the state assembly. “What we’re doing is looking athow we can get financing opportu-nities for our small businesses,” ex-plained Brown. “We continue tohold hearings. It’s going to be inter-esting to see what we come up forwe can continue to work helpingsmall businesses.” According toBrown, two-thirds of the jobs in herdistrict are provided by small busi-nesses. Brown also sits on selectcommittee for Justice Reinvest-ment, which looks to update sen-tencing laws and work onrecidivism.“We have a problem,” said Brown.“AB 109 hit and we’re looking at is-sues that are affecting our commu-nities. We have to do something thatwill help people returning to the

community and become taxpayers.We have to work on how we canhelp people come back to main-stream society and reintegrate.”Brown stated she has worked ongetting money back to school dis-tricts by supporting the Local Con-trol Funding Formula (LCFF) thatgives school districts in Californiamore discretion to use their fundingto aid programs and students inneed.“Many districts got about twohundred dollars more per studentthat they had before we passedLCFF,” she said. “As I tell every-one, do what needs to be done.Make sure our kids are learning andgraduating and we can do morewith our community. We will riseup and up and up.”

Last week, Brown received keyendorsements for re-election fromthe American Federation of State,County and Municipal Employees(AFSCME) California and the SanBernardino Public Employees As-sociation (SBPEA). Both laborunions collectively represent over196,000 state and local governmentemployees.“I’m pleased to have the endorse-ment of two major labor unions thatrepresent governmental employeesthroughout the state,” Brown saidthrough a press release. “I’ve spentmost of my life being a voice for thevoiceless and an advocate for thedisenfranchised, and I will continueto provide that type of leadership asthe representative for the 47th As-sembly District.”For those who are interested involunteering, campaign office hoursare from 2 pm-6pm Mon.-Fri. andSaturday from 10 am-6pm. Formore information, contact AshleyJones at (909) 645-3853.Castillo encourages anyone who isinterested in volunteering to comeout and ask questions. “It’s kind ofamazing because I didn’t think Iwould be in this position,” saidCastillo. “Thanks to this campaign,I love it now. I actually work for theassemblymember. I tell people toask questions and get involved."

ICUC parents, leaders meet with SBCUSD leaders to address ELLconcerns at Bradley Elementary School

By Anthony Victoria

Over sixty parents and com-munity leaders attendedthe Inland Congregations

United for Change’s Building a Col-lege Ready Culture presentation atBradley Elementary School onWednesday April 16.The purpose of the presentationwas to address several issues thatare affecting Latino students in theSan Bernardino Unified SchoolDistrict, most notably the comple-tion of the A-G requirements thatguarantees UC and CSU Universityadmission. In a town hall-like mat-ter, parents had the opportunity toaddress SBCUSD’s SuperintendentDr. Dale Marsden, Board PresidentMichael Gallo, and Marsden’s as-sistant, Dr. Matty Zamora regardingtheir concerns. The ICUC Education Committeethrough months of research com-piled statistics that demonstrate thedemographics of the school district.According to their research report,

1 out of 4 students is an EnglishLanguage Learner (27.2%). Despitethe reclassification rate rising from10% to 16% in the last year, ELLstudents seem to be graduating atlower rates and are less likely tomeet the A-G requirements (3%ELL, compared to 36.3 % of all stu-dents and 52.3% reclassified), ac-cording to the report. The committee has identified thefollowing as barriers and recom-mendations: the position of Directorof Secondary English LanguageDepartment needs to fill by June 302014, the Structure of the EnglishLanguage Learner departmentneeds to be revised, at the Elemen-tary level more personnel need tofollow up with ELL and reclassifiedstudents to go over their academicneeds, and lastly, there needs to bean intervention team and plan at theMiddle school level for ELL stu-dents who are becoming long term

English Learners.Maria Lopez, an organizer withICUC and a mother of two childrenthat attend Bradley, said that the re-search they conducted is proofenough that they are dedicated andcommitted in working with districtleaders.“As parents of students in thisschool district, we re-affirm that weare allies to the education of ourchildren, our schools, teachers anddistrict,” said Lopez. “And todaywe present our research regardingthe barriers facing our students andour conclusions and recommenda-tions to school board for the benefitof our students and community.”Isabel Sosa, who is a mother offour, asked Dr. Zamora if she iscommitted to ensure that the posi-tion vacated by Mr. Gonzalo Avilaas the director of Secondary Englishdepartment be filled before the dateJune 30 2014.

“The first interviews have alreadybeen conducted,” answered Dr.Zamora. “This important positionwill be filled, however I can’t guar-antee that it will be filled by June30. The candidate has to be ap-proved by the board and after has togo through the medical process toensure he is properly vaccinate,”she explained. “But I can give youmy guarantee that the position willbe filled.”“If a student is not proficient inEnglish and reaches high school asan English language learner, it’snecessary to have a program and aplan of intervention in place to en-sure they are reclassified as soon aspossible,” said Sayra Lemosy, amother of three children who attendBradley Elementary School. Sheasked Dr. Marsden if she along withother parents can count on him tomake a plan of intervention possibleby June 30.

“We are currently working withthe California Association of Bilin-gual Educational (CABE),” saidMarsden. “Under Dr. Zamora’sleadership, we’re going to look ateverything we’re doing from Ele-mentary, Middle, to High School toensure a good system for our stu-dents. I imagine that when we’redone with that process, it will go be-yond an intervention team for ourELL students at the middle school.We’re talking about a comprehen-sive plan at all levels.”“The goal is to push funding to-wards the sites so that each schoolcan determine their specific needsdepending on the student popula-tions,” said Gallo. “We can createthese positions, create the interven-tions, and create the strategies to seeour students re-classified, to seeearly education going on, and tomake sure we are targeting our areasof focus.”

Two Crafton Hills College studentsearn prestigious Summer scholarships

Crafton Hills College stu-dents Justin Bain, Yu-caipa, and Vivian Ortiz,

Redlands, both earned highlycompetitive summer scholarshipsfrom the Rocky Mountain Biolog-ical Laboratory in Crested Butte,Colorado.The extensive and prestigioussummer program is available to aselect few, with most submissionsdenied. The application process in-cluded writing and submitting anessay along with formal letters ofrecommendation from college pro-fessors. Bain and Ortiz were re-cently notified they were acceptedinto the Education Program, Inde-pendent Research/Training inWildlife Biology Track. It is a Re-search Experience for Undergradu-ates (REU) award. The scholarshipincludes all expenses at the fieldstation, including meals, $400 to-wards travel expenses and a $5,000stipend for the 10-week researchprogram.Both students were overjoyed atthe opportunity. Bain said he is ex-cited to be enrolled in the summerprogram. “I hope to be like asponge, absorbing all the knowl-edge and wisdom I can,” he said.“This program is doing exactlywhat I want to do for a career, sci-entific research in the fields of ecol-ogy and wildlife biology. I will beworking with experts in thesefields, assisting them with their re-search while working on researchof my own. This experience will beinvaluable for future careerprospects.” “This program is an exciting op-portunity,” concurred Ortiz. “Get-ting into a university is supercompetitive and as a first year col-lege student, I am committed todoing what I can as early as possi-ble to stand out. Researchingthrough this program is a dreamcome true and I'm anxious for sum-mer to begin. I’m grateful for thisopportunity especially as a female.

Being a Hispanic female scientistisn't too common and I'm gratefulthat I can represent both minoritygroups.”Both Bain and Ortiz are currentlymajoring in biology. Both have re-ceived what they deem excellentinstruction in all science classesand curriculum at CHC. “My fa-vorite class so far is chemistry withDr. Salt,” Ortiz said. “Although itcan be a challenging course, she isvery passionate about her work andhelping her students and has madethis an enjoyable experience.”Bain found three classes particu-larly fascinating and helpful in hisstudies. Biology 131 -Populationsand Organisms with Professor RuthGreyraven was the class that ulti-mately became a deciding factorfor Bain’s decision to pursue a ca-reer in science research, and morespecifically ecology research.“Professor Greyraven’s passion forher subject and for teaching wereinspiring to me,” he said. “Thiswas the first science class I took formy major, and as a result so muchof what I know about how to ‘do’science I owe to her class.”Another key component to thesuccess of the two students is theSTEM program at CHC. “Thereare a surprising amount of opportu-nities waiting for students at CHC,”said Bain. “The STEM Trek pro-gram at CHC is one such program.Through STEM Trek I have gainedinvaluable experiences as well assupport and connections throughmeeting other STEM majors takingthe same classes. It was throughSTEM TREK coordinator PatriciaMenchaca that I learned about thiswonderful program in Colorado.Overall, my education and experi-ence at CHC has been excellent.”Bain is graduating CHC with anA.S. in Biology and an A.S. inMultiple Sciences this spring,2014. First year student Ortiz plansto graduate with a degree in biol-ogy or chemistry.

New medical school planned for Colton by 2016By Jazmine Collins

Dr. Dev GnanaDev, alongwith a group he leads, arelooking to change the dy-

namics for potential medical stu-dents in Colton and the InlandEmpire. Dr. GnanaDev announceda plan to develop a privately-funded, non-profit allopathicschool in Colton. The school, known as CaliforniaUniversity of Science and Medi-cine (Cal Med) will come to real-ization through financing providedby a $40 million donation fromPrime Healthcare Foundation, a501©3, non- profit, public charity

founded by Dr. Prem Reddy, a car-diologist, entrepreneur and philan-thropist. “This is a landmark dayfor our communities in medicaleducation and health care,” saysDr. Reddy. “I am extremely proudas a physician, as a local residentand longtime proponent of healtheducation to contribute to thisproject. Through Dr. GnanaDev’svision and participation of manywho will be positively affected bythe school, the medical school willbecome a pillar of health educationin our area.”Cal Med will initially be set at atemporary site until a permanentlocation can be built, which willlikely be near Arrowhead Regional

Medical Center in Colton. Thenew school is looking to welcomeits first class in 2016, upon receiv-ing accreditation from the Licens-ing Committee on MedicalEducation. “This is an exciting and much-needed opportunity for medicalstudents in the Inland Empire andCalifornia,” says Dr. GnanaDev.“Because of many factors, includ-ing the extremely limited medicalschool spots in our state and severeshortage of doctors, we believethis project will have a significant
