The decision to change ourlifestyle is a decision thatrequires sacrifice which
will take the mind and body out ofits comfort zone. Whether changepertains to exercising more, eatinghealthier, seeking a new career, orbeing a better person; there will bean element of sacrifice associatedwith the choices we make. Usuallythe decision to change comes dur-ing a time in life when a situationarises that requires us to face therealization of our past habits, de-cisions, and actions. It’s at thatmoment we realize a necessity tochange and begin seeking the re-sources, knowledge, and supportneeded to do so. It’s at the begin-ning of the process we realize sac-
rifices will have to be made if wetruly want to change the currentstatus of our situation. In my opin-ion the sacrifice associated withchange is where the most difficultchallenges lay for every person,essentially we are attempting to re-program our mind and body to de-velop new habits while breakingyears of old ones. This by nomeans is an easy task and there aresure to be times of frustration thatwill cause us to re-evaluate our de-cision to change but I say to you,“hold strong and learn to be un-comfortable.” The great news is we are devel-oping new habits that will improveour mind and body over the courseof time which will lead to a betterYOU. The bad news is there isn’ta known time frame on how long
it will take to break old habits andget use to the new ones we are de-veloping. It’s during this transitionperiod where most people fail andgive up on themselves, this iswhen people realize they enjoy thecomforts associated with their pre-vious lifestyle and fall back intothe habits and routines that goalong with it. Why would anybodywant to be uncomfortable? Whyshould I sacrifice my time? Whyshould I have to experience thepain that goes along with change?These are some questions thatmight go through the minds ofpeople as they seek to change theirlife, I know these questions wentthrough my mind as I changedvarious aspects in my life. The question I have for you issimple; why should change beeasy? There is a reason why peo-ple succeed and fail in business,health, fitness, and careers. Suc-cessful transition into a new life orsituation is learned over the courseof time, it’s during the transitionleading to success where we en-counter challenges, knowledge,failures, and gain new habits thatare preparing our mind and bodyfor a new successful life. Learn tobe uncomfortable and realizechange is not supposed to be com-fortable; doing so will only makethe joy of success more meaning-ful once you have obtained it.

History is a significantmethod utilized tocommemorate past ac-
complishments, re-connect withold friends or loved ones, andreminisce over great memories.At Frisbie Middle School—myold stomping grounds—Historyteacher Tobin Brinker and hiseighth grade students have cre-ated a club, Falcons turn 50, tocelebrate the school’s 50th an-niversary. Currently Brinker isworking on a book that will fea-ture key facts and stories aboutthe campus, as well as planningevents to encourage the Rialtocommunity to embrace the sig-nificant milestone.Considering prominent ath-letes such as NFL Hall of FamerRonnie Lott, U.S. Olympicskater Derek Parra, formerMajor League Baseball standoutand current hitting coach for theMilwaukee Brewers DarnellColes, and wrestling sensationLisa Marie Varon (better knownas Victoria) all attended Frisbie,it seemed fitting for the club toorganize a football game.The game, which took placeon September 17, pitted Eisen-hower and Rialto’s freshmenfootball teams against one an-other. It brought back memoriesfor Robert Clarendon—my for-mer varsity baseball coach atEisenhower High School—whocoached Frisbie to numerousfootball championships in the
1980s. “I went to school here at Fris-bie,” Clarendon said. “I had alot of great memories here asfour-sport athlete, a student,and as a coach. Just beingaround this atmosphere is great.I’m glad Tobin is taking an ac-tive part in bringing this all to-gether.”
It was an interesting sight tosee. Generations of people wereunited under the common lovefor a campus. Current studentssat around the bleachers cheer-ing and shouting for their futureschools, while teasing one an-other over which campus wasbetter. Former students sparkedconversations with formerteachers and recollected cele-brations of the past. For the firsttime in more than two decades,Frisbie’s stadium was crowded. “This was beyond my imagi-nation,” said Brinker after theevent. “These kids are connect-ing with former students, withtheir aunts, uncles, and brotherswho all went here. It’s been alot of fun for both myself andmy students.”As a former student myself,my visit to Frisbie last weekwas a thought-provoking expe-rience. I was able to see firsthand the experience my babysister is getting by workingalongside Tobin Brinker.Whereas I was a troublemakerand disinterested student in mytime, she’s developing into aneffective student leader on cam-pus.If things go right for both ofus, who knows, in 15 yearswhen the school celebrates its75th anniversary, we may befeatured as success stories. I’moptimistic that it may just be thecase.Thank you Tobin for your ded-ication in providing a historicalnarrative on one of our commu-nity’s long-lasting educationalsanctuaries and thank youCoach Clarendon for providingme much-needed mentorshipduring my adolescent years.
Go Falcons!

here are many stories, good, badand ugly about immigrants. Notall immigrants are good peoplenor are all of the people in thisworld, but do we close the doorsto everyone and judge them withthe word “illegal?”
Europe’s immigration problemsare forcing us to see what has al-ready happened and the effects inthe United States. Donald Trump’sanswer appears to be to label all
immigrants as rapists, murderersand drug traffickers and deportthem. A more benign solution is togive them a “pathway to citizen-ship” after deportation.
Maybe we need to consider someof the Pope’s views: “We have be-come used to other people’s suf-fering, it doesn’t concern us, itdoesn’t interest us, it’s none of ourbusiness!”
Europe’s immigration problemsare forcing the U.S. to find solu-tions to our own problems. Do wehelp or tell them that immigrantsfrom other countries are nothingmore than “illegal” people whoare rapists, murderers and drugtraffickers and are none of ourbusiness?

Physician-assisted suicide not‘mercy killing’
I was stunned to see the article“Mercy killing bill goes forward”(Sept. 10) on the front page. It’shard to believe a headline like thatcould get past the editors. To evencompare “mercy killing” to doc-
tors prescribing life-ending med-ication to terminally ill patientsshows a lack of understanding ofthe legislation.I hope our Legislature has morecommon sense.
I’m pleased to see the term didnot appear on your website.

Greed explains recent sky-highgas prices
About a month ago, I took a tripto the Midwest. On the morning Ileft, I gassed up at the cheapestArco station and paid $4.07 pergallon. When I got to Arizona, Ipaid $1.34 less. On the way back,I paid $2.22 per gallon in Kansas;and the gas has to be shipped allthe way north to that state.
Right now crude oil is less than
half the price per barrel than itwas one year ago but I don’t seeany reference to gas being halfthe price it was a year ago. Also,in the past two weeks, Arco hasvaried in price as much as 54cents between Arco stations inthis area, according to GasBuddy.
The same company that manufac-
tures the gas, coming out of thesame hole in the ground, deliv-ered in the same trucks but to dif-ferent Arco stations in this area,and it differs in price by as muchas 54 cents per gallon. The onlyanswer here is greed!
I live at a four-way stop street inthe north end of San Bernardino. - On a daily basis, I witness carsblowing through the intersectionwithout slowing down. Whatmakes this doubly bad is that Ialso witness bicycle riders doingthe same thing.
Bicycle riders seem oblivious tothe fact that in a contest betweenthe two, the bicyclist is going tolose. It’s not just a few bicyclistsignoring good safety practices —it’s the majority who are breakingall the rules of responsible riding.
Another thing: God help the mo-torist who gets behind riders outfor a group run. Motorists are heldup and inconvenienced by bicy-clists having a social outing.Adding to these reckless practicesare those carrying small childrenon the bikes or in a carrier trailingbehind. It’s arrogant, irresponsibleand child endangerment. Bicy-clists should be required to obtainsomething similar to a driver’s li-cense. Safety classes and licensesshould be mandatory before any-one can ride on the streets.
I suggest when people purchase abike, they be required to attendand pass a mandatory class to getthe necessary bicycle safety certi-fication. If they don’t, unlicensedbicyclists should be treated thesame as unlicensed motorists.
Since our government is pressur-ing citizens to get out of their carsand ride bikes, stricter bike safetyis necessary. I encourage Sacra-mento to get some legislation onthe books. Now is the time to getthis done while biking is on therise, since motorists are beingforced to accommodate them.

Words to Think About: Psychology Giants and Theories
By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.
If you know about the historyof psychology, you alreadyknow about Victor Frankl. If
you know nothing or very littleabout psychology; you should
learn about him. Without reserva-tion, Frankl was one of the fathersof psychology, along with Freudand Adler.Frankl was born in 1905 and diedin 1997. They (Freud, Adler, andFrankl) were contemporaries; theywere Jewish and lived in Vienna,which was referred to by Frankl asthe Mecca of modern psychology.Freud was born in 1856 and diedin 1939. Adler was born in 1913and died in 2007. He immigratedto the USA and become an out-standing physicist and engineer.Until 1939 he, Freud and Franklwere the leading psychologists inthe world.The second highlight in Frankl’slife was the formulation and pro-motion of Logotherapy. At age 15,he gave a lecture on the subject.He stressed in that early lecture
that each person is responsible for
his or her life. He later defined“logos” as “meaning.”The psychology giants of the firsthalf of the 20th century were un-doubtedly Freud, Adler andFrankl. Their basic theories were;psychoanalysis (Freud): individ-ual psychology (Adler); and Lo-gotherapy (Frankl) There are a fewsimilarities among them; but alsosignificant differences.Victor Frankl is my favorite. Forseveral reasons. His life experi-ences, Auschwitz; his dealing withadversity; his pleasures beyondpsychology, mountain climbing,piloting airplanes and telling jokes.Also, perhaps most important, hisfamily life.Logotherapy really means “well-ness through finding meaning inlife.” The best expressions of Lo-gotherapy is Dr. Frankl’s best-selling book, “Man’s Search for
Meaning.” Currently there is be-tween 15-20 million copies in cir-culation. It is the most read book,second only to the Bible.The book is basically about ourability to survive. His favoritequote is from Neitzsche, “He whohas a WHY to live for, can bearany HOW.”In his autobiography Frankl fre-quently mentions his two other fel-low giants in the field ofpsychology. He was a competitorwith both Freud and Adler andthey feuded with each other. Forinstance, Adler refused to speakto Frankl for most of their lives.Freud was the father of Psycho-analysis which is expressedthrough pleasure. Adler was the fa-ther of Individual Psychologywhich is expressed through power.Frankl was the father of Logother-apy which is expressed through
meaning in life. It is impossible to encompass all
of the thoughts that capture our at-tention in “Man’s Search forMeaning.” Sufficient to present thebasic belief that are the themes ofthe book.First is in WORK or doing some-thing significant. From teaching,writing a book, playing sports,cooking a meal, or anything that isfulfillment. Second is LOVE. In love for an-other person. Caring for someonebesides yourself. A spouse, a fam-ily, a relative or a friend. Third isbeing courageous in difficulttimes. One of the most famouswords are: “Forces beyond yourcontrol may take everything youpossess. Except your freedom tochoose how you will respond tothe situation.”Amen. Selah. So be it.

“Picture Framing 101: the Mys-tery of the Mitre” at the October4 meeting of the Loma LindaCultural Arts Association(LLCAA).Carrington will introduce thevocabulary of his business—foamboard, acid-free, mat cut-ting, UV filtering glass, and dry-and wet-mounting processes—and present ideas for helpingartists simplify and understandthe use of materials for showcas-ing works of art.Photographers, painters, illus-trators who work in graphite orink, and other visual artists willprofit from the presentation. Car-rington will prepare guests for theprocess of selecting the finishingtouch to a work of fine art; a set-ting that enhances everything theartist has put into the piece. How-ever much one might think thatthe work stands on its own merit,the right setting will most effec-tively draw the viewer into theartist’s vision. The salability of a
production can be affected by amat and frame; they must be cho-sen intelligently.Chefs are fond of saying, “Pre-sentation is everything” as theyapply parsley or a lemon slice to
complete their presentation. Car-rington, a professional pictureframer, says an equivalent ex-pression for artists is, “Alwaysframe to the art.”The meeting will be held Sun-
day, October 4, 2015, from 2:00to 4:00 p.m. in the Senior Centerof the Loma Linda Civic Centerat 25541 Barton Road in LomaLinda. Admission is free to stu-dents and LLCAA members;
other attendees will be asked fora $3.00 donation. Please callSharan Bennett at (909) 796-7041 for further information.

Guardian Project honors veterans in SB Countywith living memorial of 8,500 shade trees
By MJ Duncan
An enduring statementof appreciation forthose who have served
this country both living and de-ceased will be initiated this Vet-erans Day at the countygovernment center in SanBernardino with the planting ofa shade tree. The IncredibleEdible Community Garden andServing Proud Industries, Inc.will be installing a permanentlegacy of shade trees to honorveterans peppered throughoutSan Bernardino County.Dr. Mary Petit founded IECGin 2009 as a grassroots agro-forestry 501(c) 3 volunteer-runnon-profit organization servingSan Bernardino County. Thefirst Veterans Living MemorialTree Garden was installed at theVeterans Success Center at CalState San Bernardino in 2013following the formation of SPI,created to meet the needs of the113,000 veterans who reside inthe county. Additionally, thesecondary organization workswith veterans in green collar in-dustries.According to Petit, her organ-ization has worked closely
since its inception with the De-partment of Veterans Affairs,and through those ties theGuardian Project came about.Southern California EdisonCorporation donated 8,500shade trees to IECG recentlyand thus the idea was born todedicate each tree to a veteran,either living or deceased, pastor present. The first plantingwill occur on Veterans Day inhonor of recently retired VA di-rector Bill Moseley.The community is invited tohonor their military loved onesthrough the purchase of a per-manent marker that will beplaced next to the tree. Petitsaid the markers cost $25, andover the course of the next fiveyears each of those 8,500 treeswill be planted throughout thecounty, each with a permanentmarker of a veteran.“This enduring statement ofappreciation to those whoserved our country and countywill distinguish how this countyfeels about its veterans,” Petitsaid.Petit explains the many bene-fits trees have on the commu-nity and environment that shebelieves is unrealized by many
people. “Trees are the first lineof defense in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, the leastexpensive option to store car-bon, clean the air, mitigatestorm water run-off, mitigateheat effects and has proven toincrease property values,” shesaid. As the trees get planted, therewill be a certified veteran andyouth work force to care forand maintain them for threeyears until they become estab-lished. Trees typically lastfrom 150 – 800 years. “TheGuardian Project will benefitmany generations to come,”Petit concluded.Those interested in purchasinga permanent marker and havinga shade tree dedicated to a vet-eran, living or deceased, past orpresent, please make tax de-ductible checks to “IncredibleEdible Community Garden”and mail it to 154-A W. FoothillBlvd., #101, Upland, CA91786. You can also contactMary E. Petit at (909) 608-7438or [email protected]; orEleanor A Torres at (909) 499-9733 or [email protected].

Suspension rates dip in SB school districtBy MJ Duncan
Due to the adoption of azero tolerance policy,schools across the na-
tion used suspensions as a meansto discipline unruly students. Re-cent studies have shown that thisresults in higher dropout ratesand does little to curb bad behav-ior in the long run. Many schooldistricts have created innovativeapproaches to replace at-homesuspensions, one of which is theSan Bernardino City UnifiedSchool District (SBCUSD). Ac-cording to the district, the gradu-ation rate increased to 79.9percent, whereas the suspensionrate dropped to 6.4 percent.SBCUSD implemented PositiveBehavioral Interventions & Sup-ports (PBiS) districtwide in the2011-2012 academic year, and asa result the total number of stu-dents suspended dipped to 56percent through the 2014-2015school year. The main compo-nents of the program include pro-viding a welcoming andsupportive environment for allstudents, teaching them the spe-cific behavior expectations, andrecognizing and enforcing posi-tive behavior. School staff spentmore time rewarding good be-havior rather than punishing neg-ative behaviors.“It’s not enough to reduce sus-pension numbers,” said Johns.“We want to reduce the behaviorsthat lead to suspension.”The SBCUSD Board of Educa-tion is credited with spearheadingthe effort to finding alternativemeans of positive and effectivemeans of behavior correction.“The Board was ahead of thecurve on some of this,” Culber-son said, noting that recentchanges to California’s educationlaws require schools to try othermeans of correction for student
misbehavior instead of suspen-sions unless the student presentsa danger to themselves or others.The Restorative Justice model isbeing piloted by the school dis-trict to instill in students that mis-behaviors violate trust andrelationships more so than rules.Students are taught to understand
that negative behaviors hurt oth-ers and encouraged to rectify tothose who may have beenharmed by their behavior.As a result of these new imple-mentations, more students arestaying in class.“More students are graduatingand becoming good citizens be-
cause they are staying in school,”said SBCUSD Board MemberDr. Margaret Hill. “This resultsin a better community.”“These accomplishments are adirect outcome of clear leader-ship and focus at every level,from the boardroom to the class-room,” SBCUSD Superintendent
Dr. Dale Marsden said. “Ourteam is Making Hope Happen byensuring our schools are engag-ing, students are focused, andpositive interventions are in playto make certain more students arein school learning each day.”

Alejandre emphasizes partnershipsduring State of Education address
By Anthony Victoria,Staff Writer
During his first State ofEducation address onSeptember 16, San
Bernardino County Superintend-ent of Schools Ted Alejandre em-phasized one key component tostudent success—countywidepartnerships that transcend beyondthe classroom.“When education, government,business, non-profits and citizensunite together to address complexsocial issues, powerful things hap-pen,” he said to approximately 100educators at the California Theatreon Wednesday.Focused on three themes—Unite, Inspire, and Transform—Alejandre discussed vitaleducational issues such as, theCradle to Career Roadmap to suc-cess, Personal and Social Readi-ness, Health and Wellness, LocalControl Accountability Plans(LCAP), and College and CareerReadiness. Alejandre’s vision was on fullshow a few days on September 19,as 50,000 books were donated tothe community during the Vi-sion2Literacy kickoff event at CalState San Bernardino. With thehelp of the San Bernardino CountyPublic Library, Alejandre and hisstaff intend to improve reading
levels across the region, whichserves over 540 public schools, in33 school districts, and approxi-mately 410,000 students.“This new collaborative with theCounty Library System will lever-age resources and information tosupport the countywide literacygoal,” he said.The 26-year experienced educa-tor explained that the transition tothe LCAP is a major shift for thecounty’s school districts and istransforming the way they arefunding school programs and en-gaging the community."Additional funding in the gov-ernor's budget for 2015-16,brought on by an improved econ-omy and higher than anticipatedtax revenues, has accelerated thepace toward full implementationof LCFF - especially for those dis-tricts with high proportions of lowincome, foster youth and EnglishLearner students,” Alejandre ex-plained. Moreover, Alejandre emphasizedthe need to implement state aca-demic standards through LCAP.He cited Chaffey Joint UnionHigh School District’s Los OsosHigh School as an example. Underthe guidance of English teacherJennifer Nicastro, students are re-quired to create mock non-profitorganizations and write grant pro-posals.
“Not only is the course directlytied to the standards,” Alejandreexplained to the audience. “…itprepares students for college andcareer by integrating academicswith career-based learning andreal-world workplace experi-ences.”Currently San BernardinoCounty has an estimated 37,000homeless students and 3,000 fosteryouth. The County Superintendentsaid it's vital for community part-nerships to thrive in order to sup-port these students and encouragesuccess. school supply drives asexamples."The need for such support isgreat, yet such great acts of sup-port can inspire our students toachieve such great things," Alejan-dre said.San Bernardino County Supervi-sor James Ramos believes the re-gion cannot improve withouteducation.“Cradle to career remains amongtop priorities in San BernardinoCounty,” Ramos said. “We want tocontinue the momentum. Educa-tion is just as important as any-thing else that goes on in thecounty. When we talk about eco-nomics and statistics we have toremember none of that goes for-ward without education first.”

Summit sprints past Alta Loma 42-7
By Richard Dawson
The Fontana Summit foot-ball team's offense hasmade quick work of its
opponents so far this season andFriday night was no different. Senior quarterback Cade Sparkstossed four touchdowns, three ofwhich were 49 yards or more, asSummit (3-0) defeated AltaLoma 42-7 during a non-leaguematch up at Miller High Schoolon September 18. The Skyhawks scored on thefourth play of the game as CalvinColeman hauled in a high snap,juked a rushing defender anddashed 73 yards for a touchdownand early 7-0 lead. After their defense forced anAlta Loma punt, Summit got an-other big run as running backStephen Carr took an option pitch64 yards to pay dirt. Alta Loma (2-2) looked poisedto score midway through the sec-ond quarter after marching 59over 15 plays but faced a fourth-and-goal from the Summit 1. TheSkyhawks defense, stout all
night, stuffed Braves runningback Christian Palmer for nogain. Taking over on downs, Summitchurned out a back breakingdrive as the second quarterwinded down. It looked like itmight be another quick-strikedrive as Sparks found star re-ceiver Damian Alloway for a 73-yard catch a run, but it wasbrought back for a holding call. The Skyhawks continued tomarch deeper into Alta Loma ter-ritory and with seven seconds re-
maining in the half, Sparks foundRonald Draper in the corner ofthe end zone for a touchdown and21-0 lead at halftime. Sparks continued to do damagein the second half as he con-nected with Alloway for touch-downs of 51 and 92 yards and hitJordan Robinson for a 49 yardscore to cap off an impressivewin. Summit plays at Elsinore andNotre Vista over the next twoweeks before league starts atGrand Terrace October 9.

By Rocio Aguayo, Con-tributing Writer
Four years ago JaneilleEisma stepped on to SanBernardino High School
with success in mind. However,she never considered competingfor the Miss Cardinal crown—thedistinguished award that empha-sizes beauty, intelligence, and tal-ent.On September 19, the 17-year-old senior was crowned as thechampion of the eleventh annual
pageant which took place at theSturges Center for the Arts indowntown. “I’ve always been interestedsince I was a freshman, the firstthing my mom and I saw when Iwalked in was a crown,” Eismasaid after receiving the crown.“My mom told me I needed to jointhis pageant, and I was too shy atfirst, but here I am.”The event was organized byJamie Rios with the help of vari-ous sponsors and volunteers. Thepageant initially began with 22
girls competing in various events.First the girls presented them-selves in an outfit pertaining totheir interest (i.e. tennis, soccer,softball, etc.). Then the judges—comprised of pageant winnersfrom all over the state—narrowedthe competition to 10 girls. Ultimately it came down toLaura Hernandez, Danielle Eisma,and Andrea Vasquez. The threeyoung ladies made it through thequestion and answer portion of thecompetition that required the com-petitors to provide input on com-
munity issues, culture, and educa-tion.In the end, Eisma was the con-testant that stood out to the judges.The winner provided some insightfor future participants.“Hey, if you’re listening it’s ok tomess up, I messed up so manytimes and I’m here,” she said.“Just keep doing you!” “I went really crazy in the crowdwhen I heard she had won,” saidEisma’s sister, Jana Mae. “Weknew she was nervous, but she stillheld her self together. Her whole
family is very proud. She’s awe-some!”Rios congratulated Eisma on hervictory. He said he is confidentthat she will serve the SanBernardino community well asMiss Cardinal. The distinction ofthe crown requires for the winnerto actively participate in commu-nity events and volunteer efforts.“She is very outgoing,” Riossaid. “The way she presents her-self is amazing and is an achiever.You have to lead by example and Ibelieve she will do that well.”
