the help of Vocabulary.com, anonline educational game for mas-tering vocabulary -- her AP stu-dents, along with dozens fromother classes, met and surpassedthe challenge mastering 30,400vocabulary words in August. Ten of those students masteredbetween 409 to 544 words.The online educational tool,which is being used as a pilot pro-gram at Rialto High, meets Com-mon Core standards and is selfguided and learned on the stu-dent’s own time. Students are not allowed to logonto the online-based program dur-ing class time, Johnston said. The hope is to get other Rialtoschool’s on board with the pro-gram and make Vocabulary.com adistrict-wide learning tool, sheadded.“It increases vocabulary, writingand comprehension abilities,” shesaid. “They can practice any wordshelping them study for differentsubject. It makes for engagedlearning and these students are

loving it.”As part of the program studentscompete by playing for theirschools and vying for the top spotin the site's monthly leaderboards.About 200 students in all, helpedput RHS on Vocabulary’s leader-board, currently ranking them asthe top spot for the yearlong Vo-cabulary Bowl that kicked off inSeptember. Students from more than 11,000schools from around the UnitedStates and Canada have competedin the past year, according to BenZimmer, the Executive Producerfor Vocabulary.com, which isheadquartered in New York. But for Rialto’s top three vocab-ulary masters, Robert Cortez, whomastered 544 words, WallaceDharman mastering 505 wordsand David Lozano who took on430 words, Vocabulary.com ismore than just a game.“It’s a mental challenge thatkeeps you engaged,” said Robert. “It’s not like looking at words ina book where you’ll eventually getbored,” he said. “It gives you reasons to keep

going and keeps your mind there.For me, that’s the best part becauseit makes me want to keep learn-ing.” What Wallace found to be themost helpful about the program isthat “it adapts to your learning ca-pabilities,” he said.“It’s spectacular. It doesn’t reachover your limits in a way that youstruggle, but instead creates a pro-gram that challenges your learn-ing,” said Wallace. The school’s top ten vocabularymasters were recently recognizedfor their achievements and werepresented with awards. Represen-tatives from Vocabulary.com alsopresented Johnston with a bannershowcasing Rialto High School asVocabulary.com’s August champi-ons.“We’ve earned this because ofthe students,” Johnston said.“We’re definitely taking theBowl.”

together community and faith-based groups along with countyand government agencies to offer avariety of resources that can betterhelp recently released offendersre-assimilate into society. The free,networking-type event connectsparolees and probationers with po-tential employers, referrals forhousing, resources in helping ob-tain counseling and services ad-ministered by many differentagencies to address substanceabuse, medical care and otherservices to help make re-integra-tion possible. An effort police Cpl. GregoryMarquez is willing to put forth ifit means creating a straight pathand successful future for those inneed.“We can provide the necessarytools for success,” he said, “Wejust need those wanting the help tocome in and commit.” Rialto launched the re-entry pro-gram in December after learningthe successful outcome that neigh-boring Fontana Police Departmenthas had with their re-entry supportteam and collaboration with work-force development, Marquez said.Since Fontana’s program launchin 2012, more than 250 former

prison inmates have been helpedon their path to employment andreintegration through the initiative,said Workforce Investment Boardofficials. “This partnership with workforcedevelopment is an opportunity wecan’t pass up,” said Marquez.In addition to the resource fair,Rialto’s re-entry team began offer-ing employment workshops inJune, which are led by workforcedevelopment. The three-day workshops are de-signed to encourage the partici-pant’s reentry and reintegrationinto the community through jobskill enhancement. The workshopsassist them with handling a felonyconviction during the applicationand interview process, as well ashow to effectively address gaps inemployment. It covers all aspectsof the job search, from computerassistance to mock interviews, ac-cording to a Workforce InvestmentBoard news release. Also includedare one-on-one counseling with anemployment specialist, assess-ments, resume assistance, inter-view advice, individualemployment plans and resourcesto vocational job training paid forby the county. While the resource fairs andworkshops are aimed at paroleesand probationers, Rialto’s re-entry

program is open to anyone in need,said Marquez.“We’re here to help break downany barriers that are stopping themfrom moving forward.”

Questions continue to surround natural gas storage,diesel emissions in neighborhood

Over a period touchingthree centuries, thou-sands of students have at-

tended Ramona-AlessandroElementary in San Bernardino.Hundreds of thousands have livedfor generations in neighborhoodsaround the school. They haveadapted to the sounds, sites andsmells of the former Santa Fe Rail-way. Many made their livelihoodsfrom it. Now, residents say adapt-ing is getting harder. Whether theuncomfortable feeling of having60,000 gallons of natural gasstored in tanks in the neighbor-hood is real or the result of a savvymedia campaign, having the po-tentially explosive liquid stored atthe Omnitrans bus fueling stationcontinues to make the neighborsfeel uneasy.To compound the situation,Burlington Northern/Santa Fe op-erates a 24-hour transportation hubwithin distance to thousands ofthose same neighbors. Residentssay their community is on thebrink of becoming a possible com-bustible catastrophe. Advocatesagree that expansion of industry isalways zoned for low-incomeareas. Never near something likethe Arrowhead Country Club.Taking on the railroad meansgoing before congress. Going be-fore Omnitrans means appearingbefore San Bernardino County.Residents say it is ultimately up tothe San Bernardino City UnifiedSchool District since it is respon-sible for the health and safety ofstudents.The Center for Community Ac-tion and Environmental Justice isasking Omnitrans to move its twonatural gas tanks further from Ra-mona Alessandro Elementary.They also want BNSF to usegreener technology to limit toxiclevels of diesel emissions.The Center for Community Ac-tion and Environmental Justice

cites a report by Loma Linda Uni-versity showing that residents liv-ing near the railway have asignificant high rate of asthma andcancer. Community Action offi-cials say having that much naturalgas stored near an elementaryschool poses a threat, even if it'ssmall threat. Furthermore, no oneseems to know if there is a dangerfrom the mixture of diesel and nat-ural gas emissions.Community Action spokespersonEricka Flores said her group haspetitioned the San Bernardinoschool board for seven months fora resolution in support of havingOmnitrans move its natural gastanks further away from Ramona-Alessandro Elementary. "It's prettywell known what kind of accidentshave already occurred from naturalgas explosions," said Flores."There is never time evacuate."The Center is scheduled to be

heard again by the school board onOct. 7th. They plan to appear againat the Oct. 1 board meeting of Om-nitrans.The results of the 2012 LomaLinda University study, entitledProject ENRRICH basically callsSan Bernardino a "hot zone" foreconomic development, due tocheap land, relatively inexpensivelabor, and a bankrupted city readyto negotiate. The Loma Lindastudy indicated that industry'sgrowth will continue within SanBernardino's city proper due to itspopulation's inability to fight it.Such growth will cause furthernegative environmental impacts,says the study.Dr. Samuel Soret was the lead re-searcher on the Loma Linda Uni-versity pilot study. Soret's researchconcluded that San Bernardinocould be exploited due to a largepopulation of limited Englishspeaking, which is strongly asso-ciated with "poverty, food insecu-

rity and environmental inequality."Soret pointed out that more indus-try could follow due to "swaths ofundeveloped land."Flores explained that most of herWestside community feels envi-ronmental issues from BNSF andOmnitrans are considered thesame threat. In an effort to con-tinue their 10-year cause, Floresand others attend San Bernardinoschool board meetings as well asOmnitrans board meetings. Her re-search revealed a number of pos-sible malfunctions that couldignite natural gas at the SanBernardino Omnitrans fueling sta-tion.Omnitrans spokesperson WendyWilliams said there hasn't been asafety incident in the 30 years hercompany has been located at 5thStreet and Medical Center Drive.Williams said the Omnitrans site isa state-of-the-art facility, which isinspected by her staff daily andmonthly by an outside vendor.

"Natural gas is the cleanest, safestand cheapest of all the fuels," saidWilliams in a phone interview.Williams explained that mem-

bers of Center for Community Ac-tion and Environmental Justicemet with Omnitrans board mem-bers on Sept. 10. "As a response totheir concerns we will conduct afeasibility study and a cost analy-sis. Then possibly change to apipeline type of delivery systeminstead of using storage tanks,'said Williams. She says those op-tions will be discussed at the Oct.1 meeting of the Omnitrans Board.Williams further said that Omni-trans went through all the properpermitting processes. She told thatbefore Omnitrans was located on5th Street, it was the location of alarge car dealership that storedlarge volumes of traditional gaso-line. "It's always been mixed usehere. It was once the major corri-dor of Route 66. There is a church,a park across the street and storeshave been here. There is nothing toindicate that its unsafe." Flores says the neighborhood isuncertain about underground stor-age of natural gas or the routes thatpipelines would take for its deliv-ery. Either way, Omnitrans cur-rently needs 12,000 gallons of fueldaily to operate. According to theOmnitrans website, it received apresentation in September fromProterra, a firm which produceselectric buses. Omnitrans is look-ing to replace its current fleet, yetsaid it was too early to confirm thepurchase of electric buses, whichuses no liquid fuels.Penny Newman, executive direc-tor of the Center for CommunityAction and Environmental Justicehas not responded to numerous re-quests for comment on this matter.The San Bernardino UnifiedSchool District did not return apromised phone call on September12th.

College is a time for ado-lescents and youngadults to venture into a

world that’s filled with the dy-namism of our nation’s futureleaders.However, the college experi-ence can also be a stressful time,a difficult time, especially forthose who are and have been vic-tims of sexual violence. California could become the na-tional model to stem such con-flict. The California StateUniversity– the largest in theUnited States – announced onSeptember 23 that it will appointadvocates for victims of sexualassault on all 23 of its campusesand I believe it is a step in theright direction.Our state’s top universities, UCBerkeley, UCLA, and USC areamong numerous institutionsaround the nation who have beenabysmal when dealing with sex-ual cases. As a result, the federalgovernment is now conductinginvestigations at these campuses.The CSU’s decision to provide asupport system couldn’t havecame at a better time. One in five women are rapedduring their lifetime, according

to the Center for Disease Controland Prevention, with 40 percentof women reporting that the as-saults occurred during their timein college. Imagine if your sister,your daughter, or your wife wereto be a victim of rape in a placethat is supposed to encourage di-versity and integrity? But it’s notonly limited to women. Men canbe victims too. And when these people un-dergo so much vulnerability andstruggle with self-conscious is-sues, it becomes difficult forthem to report this to administra-tion. Which is why it’s a wisemove to bring in people whohave empathy and the strength tosupport them in their time ofneed. By having a trained, desig-nated victim advocate on cam-pus, victims of sexual violencecan learn about different optionsfor reporting and learn about thevarious resources available intheir community.The benefits may sound clear.However, there is a potentialnegative effect this decisioncould have if it’s not approachedcorrectly. It’s important thatthese advocates stay firm andstrong in their willingness to dothe right thing. Administrativepressures can hinder progressthat a victim undertakes due tothe fear of retaliation, but itshouldn’t be an issue‒especiallyif you have public servants ad-vocating for the same thing.Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep.Susan Davis, who this summerauthored a bill that would requireall U.S. colleges and universitiesthat receive federal funding toenact similar measures, praisedthe CSU in a press release andexpressed that others should fol-low suit.“I hope this trend will continueon university campuses acrossthe nation,” said RepresentativeDavis in the statement.As U.S. president BarackObama expressed last weekthrough a new initiative, “It’s onUs”. It’s up to us to hold peopleaccountable and not look theother way. Perhaps it is time thatwe become advocates ourselvesand condemn these continuingacts of sexual violence andabuse.

At the 16 Sept. 2014 Coltoncouncil meeting, during publiccomment, I was dismayed to hearsome disparaging news about oneof our council members. Colton’s representative at theOmni-Trans and IVDA meetingsis Councilman Frank Gonzales. Itwas reported that the councilmanwas late in attending the last 12 ofthe 12 Omni-Trans meetings,being so late at one, that the meet-ing was adjourned as he arrived on

July 10th. Checking the minutesof the last 12 meeting showed hisbeing late was recorded, as re-quired by the Brown Act. Receiv-ing a $125.00 stipend for eachmeeting does not seem earned. Hisattendance records at the IVDAmeetings are almost as bad. Fouroccasions he was on time but waslate five times and was absentthree times.In my opinion, this is an embar-rassment to the city of Colton. He

is supposed to represent the inter-ests of Colton but can’t make it tomeetings on time and in somecases not show at all. CouncilmanGonzales should have been re-placed, as our representative, along time ago, by a council mem-ber who has more of an interest inhis ancillary duties for the city.

Vote yes on both San Bernardino measuresWhy would a group, the vast ma-jority of whom are not residents ofSan Bernardino, be spending thou-sands of dollars and hundreds ofhours putting up signs all overtown urging San Bernardino vot-ers to reject Measure Q, a repeal ofSan Bernardino Charter section186 which sets public safety pay.

Do they care more about San

Bernardino than their own towns?Do they have nothing better to dowith their time and money than tomeddle in San Bernardino poli-tics?

No, they are people trying to pro-tect their personal financial inter-ests in San Bernardino’s presentCharter section 186.

Vote yes on Measures Q and R tohelp San Bernardino deal with itsterrible financial situation, get outof bankruptcy, and move forwardwith a more businesslike CityCharter to becoming a more pros-perous, efficient, modern city.

Actually, kids need to be spanked sometimesWhat kind of world are we livingin? My dad was as “real” a man asyou could ever find. And yes, hedid take a switch to my brother andme on occasion. We deserved itevery time he did it. He didn’t“beat” us, but yes, he did leavesome welts. I think we turned outpretty well.

In my opinion, this countrystarted going to hell when westopped disciplining our kids. Givethem a “time-out”? Give me abreak.

In 1953, my fifth-grade teacherhad a paddle hanging beside herblackboard and she knew how touse it. Did we back-talk her? Ab-solutely not. We learned not to sassour parents and we respected ourlaw-enforcement officers, too!Now you can be tossed in jail ifyou raise a hand against your childand they know it.

Ask anyone who grew up in the1940s or 1950s if children werebetter behaved then or now. Askany teacher. Most children are outof hand and there’s no way we can

stop it. We are not preparing themfor life.

If the letter writer never had tospank his kids, maybe he wasblessed with some very angelicchildren. I wasn’t and most otherpeople aren’t, either. All you haveto do is walk through a jail orprison to see that. It wasn’t thatway in the “good ol’ days.”

Greed breeds unnecessary disastersIn the story of the “Pied Piper ofHamelin,” a swarm of rats wereenchanted by the beautiful soundof a piper and followed him out oftown to drown in the ocean. Whenthe mayor refused to pay theagreed upon fee, the piper repeatedthe process but this time with thetown’s children. An unnecessarydisaster based upon greed.

Today, that sweet sound is thepitch of the GOP with their “notaxes” tune. Let’s look at some ofthose Republican governors. In

2011, Texas was in a $27 billioncrisis. It has the highest percentageof uninsured people in the nation.Texas is 49th in school spending.Texas’ unemployment rate ishigher than the national average.

Other GOP governors: New Jer-sey’s Chris Christie has a gapingshortfall in the budget of $2 bil-lion. The state’s credit rating hasbeen downgraded seven times.Where will the money come from?

Meanwhile, Kansas (Gov. SamBrownback) is drowning in debtand the schools are failing. Thepeople are suffering so much thatRepublicans are voting against

him in November.

North Carolina (Gov. Pat Mc-Crory) is currently $300 million indebt. They are projected to reach ahalf-billion dollars of indebtednessnext year when tax cuts go into ef-fect.

There are more failed trickle-down GOP governors, but spaceprohibits their mention. Businessfollows the no taxes tune and thepeople end up drowning in debt.An unnecessary disaster basedupon greed.

Register to Vote: All elections are important butwhen there are very local issuesinvolved it vital that every eligi-ble citizen vote. This November4th we, the citizens, of this regionmust cast our vote for both federaland state offices as well as localpositions in city government andschool governance.Right now there are many groups

out there registering people to votewith the hope that these citizenswill actually vote. I am especiallypleased to see younger groupssuch San Bernardino GenerationNow registering young potential

voters to make their voices heard.And I applaud the League ofWomen Voters and the AmericanAssociation of University Womenthat valiantly register, educate andprovide voter information to gen-eral public with the hope of in-creasing the voter turnout. The lastday to register to vote for the No-vember 4th election is October 20.

The Drought:Because of the severe drought in

our state, Governor Brown is ask-ing Californians to do their part byusing 20% less water and prevent-ing water waste. The state and ourlocal water departments havesome easy to implement watersaving tips. For the outdoors, re-place grass with drought tolerantlandscaping; use a broom insteadof a hose to clean your driveway,sidewalks and patio; and wateronly late in the evening or early inthe morning to minimize waterevaporation. For indoor, run yourwashing machine and dishwasheronly when full; check for leaks inthe kitchen and bathroom; andwhen possible replace toilets andappliances with water efficientmodels. These are just a few tips,your water department will havemore and some agencies like theSan Bernardino Municipal WaterDepartment offer rebates for qual-ifying resident to replace toilets

and regulators for outdoor water-ing systems. Call 384-5141 or visitthe website atwww.sbcitywater.org for more in-formation.

Words to Think About: The Bible misunderstood

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

The Bible is, without adoubt, the most misunder-stood book ever printed. It

is not a scientific book or an accu-rate historical book, even if sometry to make it so.It does contain some science and

some history, but not much. Mostof it was written more than 1900years ago. The writers saw theworld as everyone at that time did.The world was flat. Travel was byfoot, slow boat or by donkey.Most people didn’t live beyond

forty years. Jesus was an old manat age 33, when he died. Educationwas limited to a very few.In my opinion, the biggest misun-

derstanding is in believing theBible is humorless, joyless andwithout laughter. Nothing can befurther from the truth.To prove my point I will site the

Bible itself and Elton Trueblood’sbook, “The Humor of Christ.”

Laughter is a result not the causeof a humorous event. An absurdevent, a ridiculous event, a contra-dictory event. Or an imaginary hu-morous event that memory hasresurrected from the past.A case of absurdity is evident in

the life of Abraham and Sarah.They were told by an angel theywould have a baby. He is 100 andshe is 90 years old. The absurdityof such an event causes both tolaugh. By the way, they name thebaby Isaac; which means laughter.The Bible doesn’t always reveal

the cause of laughter, only thatlaughter occurred. In Psalm 126:2,it says, “our mouths were filledwith laughter.”

Child psychologists tell us thatbabies laugh between 20-30 timesan hours. It is the result of pleas-ure, happiness and contentment. Itis reasonable then to presume thatwhenever these emotions are pres-ent in all instances by all people,laughter will naturally follow.There are three basic elements,

one of which is usually present inhumor: absurdity, hyperbole (ex-aggeration) imagination. Remem-ber the very popular sit-com a fewyears ago-MR. ED?It was about a talking horse. Ab-

surd to be sure. But it’s right out ofthe Bible. Numbers, chapter 19.The Scripture is about Balaam andhis donkey. The donkey talks andberates Balaam. A laugher to besure. Absurd? Absolutely.Use your imagination about these

stories. Noah and the Ark. BillCosby made it great with his inter-pretation. Imagine all the animalsdefecating. What a mess. Or Jonahliving in the stomach of a greatfish. Or a kid (David) stoning agiant with a slingshot and then cut-ting off his head.There are scores like these in the

Bible that are built for laughter.What about Jesus? In the book,

“The Humor of Christ,” written byElton Trueblood, he laments the“widespread failure to recognizeand appreciate the humor ofChrist.” He further criticizes theadmirers of Jesus as well as hiscritics in his lament.

It is important to recognize Hisuse of paradox and irony, alongwith satire in His humor. Jesus’ useof humor was more in the style ofMort Sahl than that of Bob Hope.At times he was very caustic. True-blood was stimulated to write the

book after witnessing his youngson crack up laughing. “Helaughed because he saw how pre-posterous it was for a man to beconcerned about a speck in an-other’s eye and ignore the beam inhis own eye.”His son knew the human eye was

not big enough for a beam. It wasabsurd. The same goes for theridiculous idea of a man goingthrough the eye of a needle.The “whited sepulchers” jab by

Jesus toward the Scribes and Phar-isees is extremely humorous.Many of the parables are filledwith irony. Trueblood points outthe use of hyperbole in many ofthe miracles: feeding thousandswith a boy’s lunch or Peter sinkingin the water because he didn’tknow where the rocks were.

In my view, a great example thatJesus was often humorous andfunny was the attraction of chil-dren to Him. He demanded thatchildren be allowed to be close toHim.Also an interesting Scripture de-

scribes Jesus as fraternizing withlow lifes. (publicans and sinners)Also His enemies called Him a“wine-bibber.” That’s like makingJesus an alcoholic. Now use yourimagination. Whenever a group ofmen get together, with a fewdrinks, they swap stories, humor-ous ones and laugh uproariously.That’s true in Highland, L.A.,

New York or Jerusalem. Today,last year or 2000 years ago. These are but a few samples of

Jesus’ use of humor. To displayJesus’ serious side and ignore Hishumorous side is to ignore a largepart of the Gospels.Amen Selah. So be it.

California Public Utilities Commission to hold public hearingsin Fontana on September 29

By Anthony Victoria

The California Public Utili-ties Commission (CPUC)will be holding two public

participation hearings on MondaySeptember 29 at Fontana city hallat 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. that willallow Southern California Edisoncustomers to discuss several pro-posed changes in electricity rates.CPUC officials have said that theywill consider public input beforemaking a decision. The state’selectric utility companies createdrate reform proposals earlier thisyear to meet the goals of AssemblyBill 327.The Ratepayer Equity Act, whichwas passed in the state legislaturelast year and became effective asof January, enabled the CPUC toconsider changes that will affectthe way utility companies chargetheir customers for electricity. Thelaw has allowed utility companiesto spread costs across residentialenergy users. Southern California Edison cus-tomers are already feeling the bur-den as a result of a hike that tookeffect in July. The company raisedresidential electricity rates acrossthe board, with average energyusers seeing their bills increase by

8 percent. The July rate hike,which hit below-average usersharder than it hit above-averageusers, who traditionally pay higherrates — could be a sign that SoCalEdison plans on more rate restruc-turing.The CPUC estimated back in Au-gust that three-quarters of Edisoncustomers will see their monthlycosts increase by more than $5,while a third of customers will pay

at least $10 more per month. In ad-dition, separate rate changes willaffect customers enrolled in theCalifornia Alternate Rates for En-ergy program. Forty percent ofthese customers will see their en-ergy bills go up more than $5 permonth, although most of these cus-tomers will face an increase nogreater than $10 per month. So Cal Edison’s restructuringplan will cut California’s current

tier structure from four tiers totwo. The Tier 1 electricity ratewould increase an additional 8.7percent, meaning customers willpay an additional 16.2 cents perkilowatt-hour by 2018. The cur-rent tiers 2, 3, and 4 would bemeshed into a single tier that willbe billed at 19.5 cents per kilowatt-hour by 2018.Edison and other big utility com-panies have justified their propos-als by explaining that they willprovide more equity among con-sumers. Edison went as far as tocriticize the current four tier sys-tem."There is no cost basis for ratedifferentials of this magnitude andthey produce uneconomic out-comes," the company wrote in thefiling. "SCE estimates that there iscurrently an annual subsidy ofover $600 million paid by higher-usage to lower-usage residentialcustomers."Meanwhile, environmental advo-cates say that the changes will seekto discourage customers fromgoing solar and conserving energy,which in turn will lead to the con-struction of more dirty powerplants and decrease generation oflocal clean energy, such as the useof rooftop solar. “We think that ratepayers are al-

ready paying their fair share andwe should not be creating a billingstructure that discourages thestrides we have made in localclean energy and energy effi-ciency,” said Marta Stoepker, thedeputy press secretary for theSierra Club.Yassamin Kavezade, an organ-izer with the Sierra Club My Gen-eration Campaign and a student atUC Riverside, believes Inland Em-pire residents need to recognizethe importance of attending thesepublic hearings. Without theirinput, large utility companies willcontinue to build “cozy” relation-ships with CPUC officials,Kavezade said. “The CPUC is an agency that issupposed to mediate the publicvoice on matters like energy, butinstead has established a cozy re-lationship with large utilities,” shesaid. “For example, look into theSan Bruno case happening rightnow with Pacific Gas & Electric.The time for testimony is one ofthe few ways people can let theirvoices be heard. People can alsobecome part of the process if theCPUC and utilities decide to listenand do the right thing in order topave a way for local, clean-renew-able energy.”

County Child Abduction Unit reunites children, enforces custody rights

By MJ Duncan

The safety of the child is theprimary concern of theSan Bernardino County

District Attorney’s Child Abduc-tion Unit (CAU), which is chargedwith returning a child to the right-ful parent or guardian to complywith family court. In late Augustthe CAU successfully reunited afour-year-old boy with his fatherafter the child’s mother took him

out of state.“When the father and grandpar-ents arrived at our office, we allwatched as the little boy ran to hisgrandma and gave her a big hug,”said Supervising Deputy District

Attorney Denise Trager-Dvorak,who oversees the CAU. “When hisfather appeared, he ran into hisdad’s arms and told him how muchhe missed him and that he wassorry he hadn’t come backsooner.”According to Deputy DA KurtRowley of the CAU, in this case,as in many others, the offendingparent or guardian was unawarethey were in violation of the courtorder. In the case above, theyoung boy’s father filed for fullcustody after the mother took theirchild across state lines, denyinghim of his legal visitation rights. Itwas only until CAU investigatorslocated the mother was she madeaware of the fact, and returned thechild without much ado. The term “child abduction” con-notes a heinous crime, but Rowleyexplained that under Californialaw if a person deprives the otherparty of physical custody it fallsunder that category. The situationscan be as passive as failing to re-

turn a child after a visit, and with-holding a child even when theother party is aware of their loca-tion.Rowley cites numerous caseswhere the investigation entailedchildren being taken across statelines, both into and out of Califor-nia. The scope of the CAU is notjust statewide; its reach is global.International cases have involvedinvestigations of children eithertaken to or from Sri Lanka, NewZealand, Germany, Great Britain,Indonesia, Argentina and Mexico. In cases of international child ab-duction, the CAU implements theterms of the Hague Convention, aninternational treaty signed by morethan 60 countries. This effort in-volves a working relationship withthe U.S. State Department, the Na-tional Center for Missing and Ex-ploited Children, and the AttorneyGeneral of California in helping torecover children taken to or fromforeign lands.The CAU is comprised of a team

that includes Rowley, DA investi-gators Karen Cragg and LarryJackson, and Secretary BertMendez. In fiscal year 2013 therewas an average of 25 open inves-tigations per month (the highmonth with 43, and the low 13),and four criminal cases were filed.“The work they do every day isvery emotionally-charged, andthey continually do their best toensure that children are safe andthat the court’s child custody or-ders are followed,” said Trager-Dvorak. “In this situation, it wasvery rewarding to watch dad, withtears in his eyes, happy to have hisson back, and hugging him like hewould never let go. I had to fightback tears myself.”Rowley is most proud of the hardwork and dedication of his team inresolving cases without escalatingthe situation, as well as lookingout for the best interest of all par-ties involved, especially the chil-dren, with compassion andsensitivity.

By Richard Dawson

The University of Redlandsfootball team has had atough schedule the first

One week after being shutout 36-0 at Mary Hardin-Baylor, the Bull-dogs again struggled on both sidesof the ball in a 36-3 rout from No.5 Linfield College at Ted RunnerStadium on Saturday night, Sep-tember 20. The game was preceded by theannual “Rah Rah Redlands” eventbut there was not too many cheer-ful moments once the game started. Linfield (2-0) marched 49 yardsover ten plays on its second drive,setting up a third-and-3 from theRedlands 6. The ensuing pass intothe end zone was incomplete lead-ing kicker Michael Metter to troton and convert a 23-yard attemptto put Linfield on the board 3-0 inthe first. The Bulldogs looked poise toscore on their next possession afterquarterback Kevin Russell foundSam Angelo for a 35-yard comple-tion to the Linfield 39 but the drivestalled after that and the Bulldogshad to punt. After that it was all Linfield. TheWildcats got the ball back at theLinfield 17 and needed just fiveplays to get to the Redlands 3thanks to a 37-yard completionfrom Sam Riddle to Evan Peterson.Two plays later, Riddle rushed infrom one-yard out to make it 9-0with 2:22 remaining in the first. Riddle added two passing scoresbefore the half as the Wildcats useddrives of 80 and 78 yards to builda 26-0 lead.The Redlands offense struggledto find a rhythm all night, muster-ing only 156 total yards comparedto 559 yards for Linfield. Redlands kicker Sean Murrayended the shutout with a 27-yardfield goal in the fourth. Angelo led the Bulldogs air attackwith 61 yards on five catches.

Cherry Creek blanksGrand Terrace

By Richard Dawson

Grand Terrace got hit witha sledge hammer beforeit knew what hit hap-

pened on Friday night. Nationally ranked Cherry Creekhigh school of Colorado came totown and dominated from start tofinish of a 41-0 non-league rout. The visiting Bruins wasted notime, needing three minutes toscore a touchdown on their firstdrive. Grand Terrace (1-2) got the ballback on the ensuing possessionand the first pass by quarterbackIvan Zacarias was intercepted andreturned for the defensive score tomake it 14-0 with 8:02 left in thefirst quarter. After a Grand Terrace three-and-out, Cherry Creek (2-2) continuedthe onslaught, this time starting atits own 45. Facing a third-and-9,Joe Caplis found Joseph Parker fora 20-yard completion to the Titans28. Four plays later, running backMilo Hall scampered into the endzone from 17 yards out to push thelead to 21-0. The Titans struggled to protectZacarias all night and couldn’t getthe running game going againstthe Bruins stout defensive front. The lead increased to four scoresafter a six-play, 68-yard drive wascapped off with a 2-yard plunge byCherry Creek running back DJLuke.

One of the bright spots for the Ti-tans was Chris Santoscoy, whopicked off two passes, includingone backed up against the Titansend zone that he returned to theBruins 20 on the first possessionof the third quarter.

Miguel Hidalgo y Cos-tilla, a Catholic priest,launches the Mexican

War of Independence with the is-suing of his Grito de Dolores, or"Cry of Dolores," The revolution-ary tract, so-named because it waspublicly read by Hidalgo in thetown of Dolores, called for the endof 300 years of Spanish rule inMexico, redistribution of land, andracial equality. Thousands of Indi-ans and mestizos flocked to Hi-dalgo's banner of the Virgin ofGuadalupe, and soon the peasantarmy was on the march to MexicoCity.

In the early 19th century,Napoleon's occupation of Spainled to the outbreak of revolts allacross Spanish America. MiguelHidalgo y Costilla--"the father ofMexican independence"--launched the Mexican rebellionwith his "Cry of Delores," and hispopulist army came close to cap-turing the Mexican capital. De-feated at Calderón in January

1811, he fled north but was cap-tured and executed. He was fol-lowed by other peasant leaders,however, such as José MaríaMorelos y Pavón, Mariano Mata-moros, and Vicente Guerrero, whoall led armies of native and raciallymixed revolutionaries against theSpanish and the Royalists.

Ironically, it was the Royalists--made up of Mexicans of Spanishdescent and other conservatives--who ultimately brought about in-dependence. In 1820, liberals tookpower in Spain, and the new gov-ernment promised reforms to ap-pease the Mexican revolutionaries.In response, Mexican conserva-tives called for independence as ameans of maintaining their privi-leged position in Mexican society.

In early 1821, Agustín de Itur-bide, the leader of the Royalistforces, negotiated the Plan ofIguala with Vicente Guerrero.Under the plan, Mexico would beestablished as an independent con-

stitutional monarchy, the privi-leged position of the CatholicChurch would be maintained, andMexicans of Spanish descentwould be regarded as equal to pureSpaniards. Mexicans of mixed orpure Indian blood would havelesser rights.

Iturbide defeated the Royalistforces still opposed to independ-ence, and the new Spanish viceroy,lacking money, provisions, andtroops, was forced to accept Mex-ican independence. On August 24,1821, Spanish Viceroy Juan de O'-Donojú signed the Treaty of Cór-doba, which approves a plan tomake Mexico an independent con-stitutional monarchy. In 1822, asno Bourbon monarch to rule Mex-ico had been found, Iturbide wasproclaimed the emperor of Mex-ico. However, his empire wasshort-lived, and in 1823 republicanleaders Santa Anna and GuadalupeVictoria deposed Iturbide and setup a republic, with Guadalupe Vic-toria as its first president.

Pete Aguilar Hosts "Meet and Greet" inRecognition of Hispanic Heritage Month

Inland Empire Latino Art Association exhibit

honors Hispanic Heritage Month

In recognition of Hispanic Her-itage Month, Redlands MayorPete Aguilar, Democratic can-

didate for Congress in California’s31st district, recently hosted a"Meet and Greet" with Latino com-munity leaders and residents in SanBernardino. Residents of the 31stCongressional district joinedAguilar for a discussion and Q & Aon important issues facing middleclass families in the Inland Empire.“We are here tonight to fight for aquality education for our kids, agood paying job so that we can buya home and pay for college, and asecure retirement when that timecomes,” Aguilar said. “The choicein this election comes down tomoving forward on smart policies

that will grow our middle class, likecomprehensive immigration reformand creating jobs by investing ineducation and infrastructure, or thesame old obstructionist mantrafrom House Republicans that haveonly hurt our economic recovery.”During the event, several resi-dents expressed concern overChabot’s approach to funding forcritical programs, his lack of a pol-icy agenda to create jobs and hisout of touch stance on immigrationreform.“I’m concerned that Paul Chabotwill be more of the same in Wash-ington,” said George Aguilar (norelation), city of Colton UtilitiesCommissioner and Candidate forColton City Council. “I can’t trust

him to go to Congress and workacross the aisle to pass immigrationreform, create jobs and get thingsdone for the people of our commu-nity.”Chabot supports radical policiesthat are out of touch with the valuesof the residents of San BernardinoCounty.He has endorsed anti-immigrationpolicies like Arizona's extreme lawthat allows law enforcement to stoppeople at will and detain themwithout cause and demand proof ofcitizenship, saying that Californiashould pass a similar law. In addi-tion, while running for CaliforniaState Assembly in 2010, Chabot’sanswer to our state’s budget chal-lenges was to slash all programs by20% with exception of publicsafety, drastically cutting fundingfor education, veterans and seniors.Pete Aguilar is a small businessowner and Mayor of Redlands. Heis a strong advocate for economicgrowth and fairness for the middleclass in the Inland Empire and aleader who has reached acrossparty lines to serve the best interestsof San Bernardino County.

Aspecial art exhibition torecognize Hispanic Her-itage Month recently

Beers, brats and Bavarian dance among highlights atRedlands Optimist Club’s Oktoberfest

By Yazmin Alvarez

The Redlands OptimistClub held its annual Ok-toberfest celebration Sat-

urday at Sylvan Park, offering upa day of fun for the whole family.Festivities included traditional

games and plenty of food includ-ing authentic German bratwurst

from Gazzolo’s Sausage Co.Restaurant of San Bernardino.Youngsters enjoyed the ChickenDance, a bounce house and a rockclimbing. While German beer was a crowd

favorite --this year’s event offeredGerman beers from Munich, asAnheuser-Busch and Stater Bros.were event sponsors -- tunes from

the Frank Rote German band,games and contests kept attendeeson their feet.Several tried their hand at Ham-

merschlagen, a drinking game in-volving a stump of wood, nailsand a small hammer and Corn-hole, a bean bag-type toss game. Yodeling, beer stein holding and

best lederhosen contests were alsopart of the festivities. Although attendance was thin

during the start, festival goerstrickled in later in the day as theweather cooled.Attendance was one thing event

organizer and Optimist Clubmember Bill Jury said was a con-cern for the fundraiser. Last year, the Optimist Club

partnered with Hangar 24 for Ok-toberfest, but since breaking awayto host the event individually,Jury said, he knew crowds wouldbe slim. But Jury stayed hopeful.“You can’t judge an event on the

first hour,” he said. “Plus it’searly, we’re hoping for the best.”Organizers were hoping to raise

$10,000 to help meet all ambi-tions for the year. One hundred percent of the pro-

ceeds from Oktoberfest will ben-efit the community, organizerssaid, along with efforts to fundyouth-oriented programs andscholarships for local students.

Homeless youth find sanctuary, support, unconditional love at YouthHope

By MJ Duncan

There exists a running trailupon which our localhomeless youth travel that

originates in Redlands and takesthem to Venice Beach, San Fran-cisco and ends in either Portland,OR or Seattle, WA, at which pointthey become lost on the radar be-fore they disappear into the omi-nous world of human trafficking,drugs and murder. One local resi-dent has worked earnestly to pre-vent homeless youth fromembarking upon that treacheroustrek by offering unconditionallove, support, and direction thathas successfully kept them fromleaving the area. Heidi Mayer, ex-ecutive director and founder of theRedlands-based, non-profit organ-ization YouthHope and resident ofYucaipa, has dedicated her effortsin offering guidance and encour-agement to homeless youth since2009.According to Mayer her lifechanged when she accompaniedher youngest son on a church mis-sion to San Francisco to offer sup-port to homeless youth. It was atGolden Gate Park where she metWinter, a teenage girl who hadbeen living on the streets for solong she couldn’t recall her age.Mayer remembered telling Winterthat hers was a pretty name, whichevoked a smile from the teenagerwho shared she had never heardthat before.“When I embraced her, at thatmoment my life changed,” Mayerrecalled about the experience, andregretted that she had believed inthe stigma attached to homelesspeople. “How dare I judge peoplebefore knowing them. Winterchanged my heart and that’s whenI knew I wanted to stop kids fromstruggling. They are the most hon-est, kindest, real people you’ll evermeet.”Though Mayer’s non-profit is sit-uated in Redlands, she serveshomeless youth throughout the In-land Empire. According to Mayer,there are 1,400 homeless youthjust in the Redlands UnifiedSchool District in 7th – 12th gradeand over 3,000 in K – 12; inColton there are over 5,000 home-less students in K-12. A fractionof those actually live on the streets,while the majority “couch surf” or

sleep in their cars.“We’re here to tell them that theydon’t have to run, that there areother options than the streets,which are tough,” Mayer said.“We tell them that together we’llfigure it out, and my main goal isto keep them in this area becausethe more they run the more they’re(susceptible to) rape, traffickingand drugs.” Mayer feels lucky thatsince the onset of YouthHope onlythree or four youth have actuallyleft.The drop-in center located at1175 W. Redlands Blvd. is underconstruction, but volunteers andMayer provide food to 40 – 60youth each day in the parking lot,and have already seen over 900homeless youth this year. Thecenter is open Monday, Wednes-day and Thursday from 3 – 6 p.m.When construction is complete itwill be accessible five days aweek, with the ultimate goal ofbeing open seven days.“We love our kids uncondition-ally,” Mayer said about herself,two staff members, and the hun-dreds of volunteers. “There is nojudgment made. Be real, honest,love and accept them.” Thoughshe doesn’t condone drug or alco-hol use, Mayer said she will neverturn away a homeless youth whois high. There are two rules at thedrop-in center, which serves as a

safe haven: No fighting and noselling/sharing of drugs or alcohol.The YouthHope community is atight-knit family, who recently lostone of their own – Marcus, 17,who attended Redlands East Val-ley and was to be the first in hisfamily to graduate from highschool, was shot and killed in coldblood last week. Marcus was amainstay at the drop-in center, thefirst to arrive and last to leave, andalways with an enthusiastic desireto help where needed. Accordingto Mayer they are all devastated bythe tragedy and held a memorialservice for Marcus at the drop-incenter for the YouthHope family tomourn, support each other in theirgrief and to bid their farewells.Education is a top priority forMayer, who believes that withouta GED or high school diploma em-ployment opportunities are bleak.YouthHope offers its own GEDprogram, as well as counseling onthe youth’s future. Mayer and hervolunteers help youth enroll in col-lege or trade schools, and as a re-sult numerous former homelessyouth served by YouthHope havegone on to graduate from collegeand become successful contribu-tors to society.Additionally, YouthHope pro-vides free medical, dental and op-tometric care; job training;prepared meals and food pantryprogram; clothing and hygieneitems; and one-on-one case man-agement services. All services arefree. Bus passes to transport youthto school are also provided, whichcosts $41 for minors under 18 forthe month. “Omnitrans raised its fares, andthat’s over $3,000 at the end of theyear to get kids to school,” Mayerrelayed. “I know they’re going toschool because they show me theirhomework, tests, quizzes, not justthe class schedule.”Mayer, who does not receive anypay from the organization, reliessolely upon private donations,fundraisers and grant writing.Currently youth are congregatingin the parking lot of the facility,even in blistering three-digit tem-peratures. The facility still needsinsulation and dry wall, and theblack top needs to be pulled outand replaced with cement, with 33percent landscape. For more information on Youth-Hope, or to donate or volunteer,please call Heidi Mayer at (909)633-4543 or visit www.youth-hope.org.

Its origins are distinctly Mex-ican. During the time of the Aztecs,a month long summer celebrationwas overseen by the goddess Micte-cacihuatl, the Lady of the Dead.After the Aztecs were conquered bySpain and Catholicism became thedominant religion, the customs be-came intertwined with the Christiancommemoration of All Saints' Day.Specifics of the celebration varywith region, but one of the mostcommon customs is the making ofelaborate altars to welcome de-parted spirits home. Vigils are heldand families often go to cemeteriesto fix up the graves of their departedrelatives.Dr. Jeff NevinJeff Nevin, Ph.D., is a professionalclassical trumpet player, mariachitrumpeter and soloist, a conductorspecializing in the interpretation ofMexican music, and an award win-ning composer whose works havebeen performed by the San Diego,Colorado, Aguascalientes, Jalisco,Pasadena, San Bernardino, KeyWest, East Texas, Santa Rosa,Desert, Idaho Falls, Baja Californiaand La Jolla Symphonies, as well as

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan, Solde Mexico and many other ensem-bles.

Former students havemoved on to receive Bachelor's andMaster’s degrees in Music, performmariachi professionally, and theyare beginning to fill the great needfor mariachi teachers that existsacross the US today.Mariachi Garibaldi has performedcountless engagements in andaround San Diego including severalnational education conferences.They have been featured in bothAmerican and Mexican nationalnews broadcasts, including a promi-nent role in the documentary “In theName of Mariachi Music” whichdetails the impact the US is havingon the history and future of mari-achi.

They have traveled toperform for the famed “Encuentrode Mariachi” in Guadalajara nearlyevery year since 2002, and theyhave recently performed in Brazil(2014), Russia (2012 & 2009),France (2012 & 2010), and China(2010). Their newest CD “Un cantopor el mundo” was inspired by theirworld travels and features musicthey performed on 4 continents.They also recorded a 2-CD set“Mariachis Garibaldi” in 2009, and

their version of “Hotel California”was featured on the recording“Mariachi Rock-O” along withMariachi Vargas, Sol de Mexico,and others.Sinfonia Mexicana MariachiYouth Academy:Sinfonia Mexicana of SanBernardino established the MariachiYouth Academy in February 2009at the Sturges Theatre for the Per-forming Arts as an opportunity forarea youth to learn and performMariachi music and to give them anunderstanding of its origins and cul-tural significance.The mission is to establish a con-tinuing and comprehensive courseof study that will challenge and en-hance the student's ability to readmusic, master their instruments andenhance stage presence through theart of performing Mariachi music.The goal is to prepare and encour-age academy students to furthertheir musical education.

Keaton Simons woos crowd at HSSBV benefit concert

By Yazmin Alvarez

Keaton Simons didn’t needany sort of flash to makefans swoon at a nearly

sold out benefit concert Fridaynight at the Humane Society ofSan Bernardino Valley. A mic, two guitars and his sultry

voice was all it took to help the or-ganization raise thousands in sup-port of animals.It was the musicians second time

returning to the San Bernardino-based facility -- which provides avariety of services benefitting areapets -- and for this year’s showcaseSimons’ surprised the audiencewith some freestyle beats to keepthe session lively.“A little beatbox action never

hurt nobody,” he said. The crowd went wild. Simons was asked to return to the

venue by organizers after lastyear's show helped raise more than$1,800 for the nonprofit.His second time around did not

disappoint either.More than $2,200 was brought in

from the benefit concert with thehelp of sponsors and a raffle prize,which included a souvenir passsigned by Simons, a code to down-load his entire catalogue of musicand a $25 Visa gift card from In-land Center Mall, said HSSBVDevelopment & Community Out-reach Coordinator, Jill Henderson.“Partnering with someone as

kind and talented as Keaton Si-mons is very exciting for the Hu-mane Society of San BernardinoValley. His passion for animal wel-fare and willingness to help ani-mals in our community isadmirable,” she said.He performed for more than two

hours plus and the suave Simonsheld the audience with his acousticformat and even joked betweensongs. The audience, all in Simons’

palm, were cheering, singingalong and even shouting out re-quests of his hits.He was happy to oblige. Asked if he would be willing to

make a third stop at the facilitynext year, he did not hesitate to an-swer.“Of course,” he said. Charming yet humble, Simons

stayed after the show to minglewith fans, signing autographs,striking up conversations and evenoffering a few smiles for selfies. The Humane Society is gearing

up for two more fundraising ef-forts to close out the year - the an-nual Casino Night on Oct. 18 andSanta Paws on Nov. 22.To learn more about either events
