MR. TRANSPORTATION ON A NEW ROAD advocate for the placement of the 210 freeway was Bill Leonard who for decades served in the California Transportation Commission.
Known widely as a visionary regarding transportation issues in the Golden State, Bill Leonard, along with his wife Bobbie, fittingly created a legacy through California State University, San Bernardino's Transportation Center in 2006. Their gift of $2.1 million to CSUSB, through an irrevocable charitable remainder trust, prompted the CSU Board of Trustees to honor the family with the naming of the William E. and Barbara Leonard Transportation Center last year.

DR. ALBERT ARTEGA HONORED BY S.B MEDICAL SOCIETY
Dr. Albert Arteaga has followed the philosophy of accepting patients that his father, a Seventh-Day Adventists minister, practiced in his ministry, "My father would stand at the front door of the church and invite persons regardless of their status, thus increasing the attendance at the church," he said in an interview in his San Bernardino office.
The policy of welcoming patients, with or without appointments, or families seeking medical services for their children and others also in need, has been the key to the successful medical practice for pediatrician/ owner/medical executive of LaSalle Medical Associates.

CSUSB APPOINTS NEW UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN
Ralph held various positions at the library, including the head of material services, working for the university's first librarian. Art Nelson. In 1989, she was named associate university librarian and ultimately the university's librarian. She has written bibliographies on local material in the university's library collection. She is also a specialist in local history, having compiled many of the memorabilia from the region for the library.
Caballero received his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Texas, El Paso; his master's degree in library science from the University of Texas, Austin; and his doctorate in higher education administration from Texas Tech University.
The Pfau Library is part of Cal State San Bernardino's Division of Academic Affairs. When then-California State College, San Bernardino first offered classes in September 1965, the library contained 50,000 volumes and was located in one of the three original buildings. In June 1971, the library collection moved into the new large library and classroom building located in what was to become the heart of imiversity's campus. In 1981, the building was named in honor of the university's founding president, John M. Pfau. A 49,205-square-foot annex was constructed in 1994 and a seismic retrofit project for the original building was completed in summer of 1998.
The library added its 500,000th volume in 1991. Today the Pfau library contains more than 750,000 books, bound periodicals and other print items. Various other collections augment the books: music scores, rnicroforms, maps, audio CDs, art prints, etc. For more information, visit the John M. Pfau Library's Web site at http:// www.lib.csusb.edu/.

parents of the registered youth, which number approximately 10,000 adult volvmteers," Bernard said.
Bernard stated that committed volunteers are one of the most difficult barriers to overcome when organizing scouting programs in the low-income Hispanic community. "Our Hispanic youth need what scouting has to offer more than ever. Currently, we are serving over 800 Hispanic youth in new scout units less than a year old. We are seeking adult volunteers to organize a new "Scouting and Soccer Program" aimed toward the Hispanic youth in the community," he said.
In order to implement the program, Bernard said, there is a need for coaches, trainers, referees and committee members to effectively run the Scout Soccer League. The sport of soccer will have outdoor components of camping, fishing, archery, and other skills, coupled with the added scouting principles of moral, ethical values and character building and other incentives.
Adults interested in participating in scout activities can contact Roger Bernard, Scoutreach Executive Director and bilingual in Spanish at (909)435-6858.

MICHAEL CORONADO OF YUCAIPA ACCEPTED AT PRESTIGIOUS MEDICAL
SCHOOL By David E Raley-Special to lEHN
Continued from page 1
Coronado is the son of Hector and Christina Coronado of Yucaipa, California. Michael's grandparents are Ray and Patricia Quinto, now of Calimesa, but formerly of Yucaipa and Aurelio and Esperanza Coronado who have lived and worked in Yucaipa for more that 40 years. Ray Quinto is a retired Navy Captain and a member of the Calimesa City Council. Pat Quinto worked for the Bank of America in Calimesa and Yucaipa. Aurelio and Esperanza Coronado immigrated to this country, were naturalized as citizens. Aurelio worked for McNally Corporation until his retirement in early 2000. Esperanza has remained a housewife and companion for as many years.
Coronado recalls his first science project about magnets and winning a blue ribbon, thus establishing an early commitment to scientific teaming. He was awarded the Beaver Medical Group scholarship after graduating from Yucaipa High School, an incentive for attendance at the university level. ,
He attended the University of California, Riverside, as a pre-medical science student with a career goal of becoming a physician. When introduced to research, he recognized that his true passion was medical research, specifically mechanistic toxicology of carcinogens that particularly target the endocrine system.
Coronado's first undergraduate research project was the effects of pharmaceuticals on the endocrine system of fish in an aquatic toxicology laboratory under the guidance of UCR's Dr. Daniel Schienk.
His decision to focus on basic research was further validated when during his freshman year, he was chosen for an intemship program at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the division of National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. The intemship was sponsored by the National Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), a nation-wide non-profit organization of educational institutions with its mission to provide higher level education opportunities to Hispanic students.
During his internship at NIH, Coronado enjoyed working on programs designed to bring minorities into the sciences, especially bioengineering. This led to writing an article promoting tissue engineering published in the Society of Mexican-American Engineers and Scientists. He is an officer in the California Alliance for Minority Participation, which encourages minorities to attain higher levels of education.
In June, 2007, Michael Coronado : grafted from UCR with a BiA.dn Biochemistry.
His siblings are Stephanie Coronado who will be attending the University California-Davis, and Lallie Coronado, a middle school student at Yucaipa-Calimesa School District.
"Scientific knowledge is very importance component of life and I feel that attaining a PhD is the path that can bring the greatest opportunity to enhance medical science and to encourage minority participation in scientific education," he said. David E. Raley is a retired Air Force Colonel and currently a political consultant.

SPRINT DROPS CUSTOMERS & GAL-POLY, POMONA SEMINAR SPEAKER REPONDS ON
CNBC's "ON THE MONEY" Cellular carriers are famous for
dropping calls, but now SPRINT has found another way to disserve, according to Dr. Gary S. Goodman, president of Customersatisfaction.com and Clientrelations.com.
SPRINT is dropping customers from its system if they phone the carrier for assistance too many times during the month.
A thousand or more customers have been involuntarily terminated by SPRINT, which is sending out letters instructing customers to take their business elsewhere.
Debating the wisdom of this move on CNBC's "On the Money" program on July 9, Goodman claimed this denial of service is inconsistent with the founding of
phone service in this coimtry by A T & T, which volunteered to provide it universally, no matter the difficulty, distance, or the cost.
Goodman said those customers that are most likely to over-talk and over-call are "the elderly, the infirm, and the lonely," and the answer to runaway calls is to train representatives to gently control conversations for length and quality.
Claiming SPRINT can "Hear a pin drop but not the cries of its customers," Goodman lashed out at the carrier for employing its version of CRM, typically known as Customer Relationship Management.
To SPRINT, Goodman asserts, "CRM means Cut, Run, and Mow Continue on page 6

The St. Bernardine Medical Center Foundation will use the fimds to help further the mission first realized by St. Bemardine's founders, the Sisters of Charity of the Incamate Word.
St. Bernardine Medical Center is a non-profit organization, which has a long tradition of providing needed health care services to residents of San Bernardino and its Surrounding " communities. Founded in 1931, St. Bernardine Medical Center is a 463-bed facility that incorporates virtually every medical discipline and offers a myriad of health care services.
An international organization, the Fraternal Order of Eagles was founded in 1898 and has given more than one hundred million dollars to local and national charities. The Eagles supports the armed forces, police and firefighters and funds research in areas such as heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and cancer.
commission, combined with his activism to keep the 210 Freeway project on track, has led to his dubbing as "Mr. Transportation" for the Inland Empire. As the university seeded its transportation center with federal funding, Leonard was among the civic leaders who provided guidance to the developing center.
Under the direction of Norm King, former head of the San Bernardino Associated Governments, the William E. and Barbara Leonard Transportation Center will use the funding to research transportation issues, particularly as they impact the effective movement of people and goods through the Inland Empire.
Though Leonard is credited with being one of the community leaders who brought the Gal State campus to San Bemardino in the early 1960s, he
says it is the existence of the transportation center at CSUSB that attracted this gift. The charitable remainder trust, funded with real estate, provides an income stream for Bill and Bobbie for life, as well as tax savings.
"The Leonards' vision for including CSUSB as part of their estate plans adds to their legacy as prominent Califomians who have improved the quality of life for so many in this state," said Cindi Pringle, who oversees the gift and estate planning program at the university. "They are true role models."

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House and Senate are now considering reauthorization packages for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Legislation has been stalled over funding and whether to expand this successful program. We call on Congress and the President to fully fund this critical program and provide coverage for all nine million children currently uninsured in America.
President Bush said at the 2004 Republican Convention, "America's children must also have a healthy start in life. In a new term, we will lead an aggressive effort to enroll millions of poor children who are eligible but not signed up for the government's health insurance programs." After appealing to and winning the support of Catholics by philosophically supporting a culture of life, the President should put his promises into action and defend the life and health of the millions of uninsured children in this country.
The SCHIP program is a common good policy necessary for the protection and fulfillment of human life and human dignity. When even one child is sick and cannot receive medical care, we are diminished as a nation. If we are to stand as a moral beacon for the world, it is imperative that we take particular care for our
most vulnerable. The Catholic Church is clear in its
teaching that access to adequate health care is a fundamental human right. Adequate health care is also a sign of a secure and stable nation. The duty of defending our security is not only a military obligation, but also a responsibility to the health and welfare of all citizens. We cannot be secure as a nation, nor can the common good be realized, when the life and health of our children are at risk.
Our faith and our Catholic Social Tradition demand that we foster a culture of life which includes health care for those who need it most. We join the hundreds of other organizations, including the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA and the Catholic Health Association, in urging the Congress and President to move forward and act now to fully fund SCHIP and bring common good policies into action. •Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good •Catholics United •Holy Name Province Office for Justice •Peace and Integrity of Creation Institute Leadership Team • Sisters of Mercy of the Americas •Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) •Maryknoll Global Concerns Network •Pax Christi USA

Continued from page 1 DR. ALBERT ARTEGA HONORED BY S.B MEDICAL SOCIETY
LaSalle Medical Associates currently has medical clinics in San Bernardino, Hesperia, Lake Elsinore, Fontana and a network of providers in East Los Angeles. LaSalle Medical Associates is affiliated with Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Community Hospital of San Bernardino, Victor Valley Hospital and others. The medical group has 125 employees including 15 staff physicians; medical practice of pediatrics has expanded to internal medicine and well women examinations.
In a quiet demeanor and low even voice, Arteaga recalls the first day that he, his wife, Maria, and an employee began his medical practice in Fontana in 1984 and accepted the first two patients. "This was the very beginning for us and we quickly learned how to fill out the first reimbursement forms. We continued accepting anyone that came into our clinic. Most of the patients were
-Medi-Cal recipients and the client population quickly grew," he said.
He realized that this was a population in need of medical
services and a niche that he would be able to fill. He also succinctly stated that they worked without pay for an extended six month period and made ends meet with his job at Kaiser and side jobs.
This niche is a profile of low-income families that are underserved, working full time and eligible to receive medical services. Funding for medical services to these families and the disabled are via the federal MediAid funneled to California's Medi-Cal health programs. There are other public health plans available and applicable to families based on individual status.
LaSalle is an enroller for the Healthy Families program, a low and no-cost health insurance for children. The medical group is also proud to be the number one enroller for the State of Califomia, and, to date, has enrolled 81,689 children.
Dr. Arteaga and LaSalle staff's mission is commitment to assure that every parent and child has health care access to medical benefits and patients that walk through their doors are treated with the highest level of
courtesy and respect. When the Katrina disaster
occurred, LaSalle extended its assistance to sxuvivors of Hurricane Katrina with free medical care and financial contributions to various local pastors involved with the hurricane relief.
The success of Arteaga's expanded medical organization has been augmented by the medical staff participating in a myriad of outreach events including immunization, asthma, and breast screening fairs, and parent education sessions including childhood obesity, asthma, diabetes, and so many other existing health problems.
Arteaga's has lent his leadership skills, and including staff and financial resources, as chair to the Latino Health Collaborative, a county-wide non-profit health organization. His involvement has been the catalyst in the relative success of the group's mission, according to board members. "Dr. Arteaga has been generous with his time and professional staff in ensuring that our group continues to progress
in the development of our goals and objectives," Diane Fox, LHC Executive Board Member, said.
Dr. Albert Arteaga was recently presented with the Merlin Hendricksen M.D. Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Community by the San Bernardino County Medical Society in recognition for his dedication to serve the low-income and underserved families in Southem Califomia and his contributions to the commimity at large.

NEW POLL: LATINO VOTERS WILL BE MOST IMPACTED BY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES'
POSITIONS ON EDUCATION 89% Say Improving Public Education Should Be
"Very Important Priority" for Next President
CONGRESSMAN BACA VOTES FOR THE LARGEST INVESTMENT IN COLLEGE AID
SINCE THE G.I. BILL
Miami, FL - As the Democratic presidential candidates debated a new poll released, showing that a candidate's position on education will have a greater impact on Latino voters than their positions on any other issue - including immigration and health care - and that Latinos believe nearly unanimously that improving public education should be a "very important priority" for the next president. The poll surveyed 1,000 registered Latino voters.
"The Latino community is increasingly showing its desire to help shape the future of our country at the ballot box," said Janet Murguia, President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., and steering committee member for Ed in '08, a nonpartisan campaign to raise awareness of education issues in the 2008 presidential race campaign. "What this poll makes clear is that Latinos believe the key to our future is improving the quality of public school education and will vote for the candidate with the best comprehensive plan to do that."
"Presidential candidates have been largely silent about our failure to give
our children the skills to be ready to succeed in college, career and life," said Roy Romer, Chairman of ED in '08. "If the presidential candidates want to respond to the priorities of Latinos and demonstrate they are ready to be president, they can start talking about their plans to get our children ready to succeed in college, career and life." Other key findings in this poll include: • Latino voters consider the high dropout rate among Latino students to be the greatest educational problem for the Latino commimity in the U.S. • Half of those surveyed declared that they considered the quality of public schools to be "mediocre" or "poor." • While teachers received generally positive ratings, more than 80% of the Latino electorate feels that one way to improve public education in America is to hire more teachers with expertise in the subjects they will teach.
The poll was co-sponsored by ED in '08 and NCLR and released at the 2007 NCLR Annual Conference in Miami.

Washington, DC - Today, (July 11,2007) Congressman Joe Baca (D-Rialto) voted to approve legislation that would make the single largest investment in college financial aid since the 1944 GI Bill, helping millions of students and families pay for college - and doing so at no new cost to U.S. taxpayers.
The legislation, the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007 (H.R. 2669), which the House passed by a vote of 273 -149, will boost college financial aid by about $ 18 billion over the next five years. The legislation pays for itself by reducing excessive federal subsidies paid to lenders in the college loan industry by $19 billion. It also includes nearly $1 billion in federal budget deficit reduction. The Senate is expected to vote on similar legislation this month.
"This bill represents a historic commitment to higher education for all Americans," said Rep. Baca. "Congress is increasing financial aid by close to $20 billion, making college more affordable for millions across our nation. And we are doing so with no additional costs to U.S. taxpayers."
Under the legislation, the maximum value of the Pell Grant scholarship would increase by $500 over the next five years. When combined with other Pell scholarship increases passed or proposed by Congress this year, the maximum Pell Grant would reach $4,900 in 2008 and $5,200 in 2011, up from $4,050 in 2006, thus restoring the Pell's purchasing power. About 6 million low- and moderate-income students would benefit from this increase.
The legislation would also cut interest rates in half for the 6.8 million students who take out need-based student loans each year. The College
Cost Reduction Act cuts interest rates from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent in equal steps over the next five years. Once frilly phased-in, this should save the typical student borrower $4,400 over the life of their loan.
"This legislation will provide tuition relief for almost 650,000 students in the state of California alone," added Rep. Baca. "In the next five years, California students will receive more than $1.4 billion dollars in Pell Grants and loan assistance under the College Cost Reduction Act." In addition, the College Cost Reduction Act provides nearly $370 million in grant funding to Hispanic Serving Institutes and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The bill also includes a number of other provisions that would ease the financial burden imposed on students and families by the cost of college, including: • Tuition assistance for excellent undergraduate students who agree to teach in the nation's public schools; • Loan forgiveness for college graduates that go into public service professions; • Increased federal loan limits so that students won't have to rely as heavily on costlier private loans; and • New tuition cost containment strategies.
"After years of rising education costs, the American people deserve a helping hand," concluded Rep. Baca. "The Democratic Congress is working in a sensible manner - ensuring fiscal responsibility while also providing historic levels of aid to low-income students and minority serving institutes."

CATHOLICS MOBILIZE TO END WAR IN IRAQ National Campaign will Pressure Leaders to Pursue Diplomacy,
Redevelopment and Responsible Withdrawal
Washington D.C. — Catholics United launched a coordinated national effort to mobilize Catholics to become a powerful voice for ending the Iraq war.
Catholics for an End to the War in Iraq, www.catholicsforanend.org. will provide opportunities for multiple strategies that pressure our leaders to begin a responsible withdrawal of U.S. troops. The collaborative initiative is supported by NETWORK and Pax Christi USA.
Catholics account for more than 1 in 4 voters nationwide, and the war in Iraq now ranks as the single most pressing concern for Catholic voters.
"Catholics are nationally adding their voices to the broader movement for an end to this war," said Chris Korzen, Executive Director of Catholics United. "By joining the Catholics for an End to the War in Iraq campaign, we now have a unique opportunity to send a clear message to
our leaders; our faith community demands immediate action on this issue, and will no longer tolerate an open-ended commitment in Iraq.
"We will encourage our leaders to bring together Iraq's warring factions in a multi-party conference that involves neighboring countries in the peace process, provide funding and reconstruction support for Iraq, and begin an end to U.S. military operations and withdrawal of combat troops."
"It's critical that Catholics work together to change the course of the U. S occupation of Iraq," said Sr. Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK. "Pope John Paul II spoke out against the invasion. Pope Benedict XVI has met with President Bush expressing his concern."
"The laimch of the Catholics for an End to the War in Iraq Campaign marks a milestone in the growing movement for a new direction in Iraq," said Dave Robinson, Executive Director of Pax
Christi USA. "The campaign will offer a broad spectrum of Catholics an effective way to make their voices and the voice of our faith tradition heard by those who need to hear it the most."
Catholics United is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the message of justice and the common good found at the heart of the Catholic Social Tradition. Visit vmw. catholics-united, org.
NETWORK is a Catholic leader in the global movement for justice and peace that educates, organizes and lobbies for economic and social transformation. For information, see www. networklobby. org.
Pax Christi USA is the national Catholic peace movement, reaching more than half a million Catholics in the United States, and includes more than 130 U.S. bishops, 800 parish sponsors, 650 religious communities, and 300 local groups.
NOW IS TIME TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT NOT SMOKING (NAPS) - Youngsters love the
freedom of unsupervised summertime fun and time to play with their friends. But with these freedoms also come risks of which all parents should be aware.
Many children during summer will be approached with the opportunity to try their first cigarette. While it is unrealistic for parents to supervise their children every moment of every day this summer, your values and beliefs should be known and understood. That is why now is the ideal time for parents to talk to their children about how they feel about smoking and other negative behaviors.
Dr, Michael Popkin, author, parenting expert and spokesman for Talk Early, Talk Often, sponsored by Lorillard Tobacco Company's Youth Smoking Prevention Program, says children are trying their first cigarette as early as age 8, with the majority trying it between the ages of 12 and 14. Most of these children are approached by a friend who they consider to be "coop' and therefore has influence on their decision. Popkin recomntends establishing clear guidelines for your children's behavior.
Make Expectations Very Clear "Taking the time to sit with, your
child and agree on clear guidelines for behavior can pay off greatly when your child has to make a choice about whether or not to try smoking," say Popkin. "I use the term 'problem-prevention talk,' which is a dialogue between you and your children that makes your expectations of him or her very clear."
The problem prevention talk consists of five steps: 1. Identify potential problems and risks.
2. Share your thoughts and feelings about these problems and acknowledge your child's thoughts and feelings. 3. Generate guidelines through brainstorming and negotiations (widiin limits that you can live with). 4. Decide on logical consequences for violating the guidelines (if necessary). 5. Follow up to ensure that guidelines were followed and to enforce consequences (if necessary). Create A Written contract
Creating a written contract between you and your children that clearly lists your expectations and the logical consequences that you will apply if these expectations are not met is
another suggestion made by Popkin. "Written contracts ensure there is not miscommunication about your child's decision not to smoke," say Popkin.
Dr. Popkin is one of the nation's foremost experts on parenting education, with more than 25 years of experience helping families communicate about tough topic like smoking.
Parents are encouraged to visit www.keepkidsfromsmoking.com to prepare them for their conversations with their children. On this Web site, parents will find talking tips, warning signs, age-specific advice and further parenting advice.
