The expansion, paid for as part of Measure I, a one-half of 1 percent sales tax approved by San Bernardino County voters in 1989 and extended in 2004, is the latest in a multi-phase plan that eventually will include freeway on and off ramps, creating a vital new point of entry along the highgrowth corridor. “After more than 15 years, roadblocks and hurdles, it’s finally complete,” said Mayor Deborah Robertson. Habitat preservation work was among the most lengthy and costly obstacles to getting the project underway, city officials said. The expansion project has been a major focus for Robertson in bettering transportation since she moved to the city in 1988 and before running for council in 2002. “In transportation, when you build a road, from that comes potential for growth,” she said. “You see it magically happen, either economic growth or residential growth, and I’m hoping to see that path sprout. It’s all vital for Rialto and for our surrounding cities.” With the new road also comes better access to medical care and other services for first responders, she added. Robertson said she is working with public transit agencies to bring more transportation access to the area now that an additional pathway to the city has been created. With the road completion, several other projects can now get started, including construction of the on and off ramps from the freeway, which will soon begin, said City Administrator Mike Story. As the new road allows for quicker access heading toward the 210 Freeway and going in and out

of Rialto’s north end, residents in the surrounding neighborhood say traffic and speed are now some primary concerns brought along with the new open road. Coordinator of the North End Pepper Neighborhood Watch program and 40-year plus north end resident, Linda Chapman, hopes safety fixtures, speed signage and other speed limit enforcing markers are soon set, especially with Frisbie Middle School nearby. “As part of the neighborhood watch program, we were given opportunity to participate in the expansion project, offering suggestions and opinions in the beautification process,” she said. “Safety is our number one concern.” Members helped select the retaining walls that surround homes located alongside the new road in addition to speed bumps nearby the school area, architectural design and landscaping of the new area. “Our theme is a safe and clean neighborhood and having a voice in this process has been appreciated,” Chapman said. Like Chapman, Brenda Parker, human relations commissioner and block captain of the North End Pepper Neighborhood Watch program, also values the opportunity to be a cognitive voice in the process. “The important thing here is that The City has brought us in on this project,” she said. “They’ve involved the community as a whole and that shows that this has truly been an effort for the betterment of Rialto residents.” With the road completion, several other projects can now get started, including construction of on and off ramps from the freeway, said City Administrator Mike Story. Construction will begin soon, city officials said.

Bernardino-Riverside Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the contest is an aim to introduce kindergarten and elementary school-aged children to STEMbased learning in hopes leading them toward the path of becoming global leaders in the respective STEM fields, said Carla Denez Towns, representative for Delta Sigma Theta’s San BernardinoRiverside Area Alumnae Chapter. “We want to prepare children for the age of technology we’re headed toward,” she said. As part of the contest, younger students will have the opportunity to participate by drawing STEM related art work, while students in

grades 3-5 will explore the theme through essay writings. Submissions are due by March 2. All students participating will receive certificates. Trophies will be awarded to first, second and third place winners. Students will also be formally recognized during an end of the year awards presentation. To fill students with excitement over the contest, members of the organization visited Preston Elementary Feb. 2 hosting special presentations that offered fun lessons and facts on African American innovators, scientists and engineers. As part of the visit, more than 60 books on STEM-bases subjects were also donated to school’s library to help spark inspiration for

the contest. The donation was part of the organization’s literacy project, “Adopt a School Library— Read to Discover. Teachers and children will be able to checkout the books as reference material for the contest, said Towns. Preston Principal Robin McMillon is hopeful on forging a long-lasting relationship with the organization as a way to offer mentorship opportunities between the sorority and Preston students.

Don’t let age be an excuse

By Gino Garcia, Vibe Fitness

here's no doubt about the fact that our body changes as we age and fat is stored in places that we didn't have to worry about when we were younger. The metabolism slows and the digestive system doesn't work as well as it once did. Hormonal changes in the body can also affect the shape that you are in but there is one thing that always remains the same at all ages; if you eat too much food that serves no nutritional value and drink unhealthy liquids you will gain weight. People tend to use their age as an excuse for being overweight but this is not acceptable and you should not let it be! Consider how many elderly people there are who are still slim, fit and healthy and you will see that age is not an excuse. Lifestyles create the body we have to live with and the effects of poor lifestyle choices are multiplied as we age. The abuse that impacts our body through poor food choices throughout our life accumulates with fat and other health related problems due partially to nutritional choices. You can and should expect to keep your fat percentage at an optimum level throughout your life. The health benefits from doing so will pay dividends with a better quality of life and reduced dependence on medication and other health related expenditure as you age (saves you money). At any stage in your life, no matter how old you are you can benefit from improved nutrition and exercise. anything that will reduce

the excess levels of body fat will assist in helping you to live longer and healthier. To have a clear understanding on what ideal body fat percentage should be, the following guidelines are standard within the health & wellness industry:

•Essential Fat- 10-13% Women, 2-5% Men •General Fitness21-24% Women, 14-17% Men •Average- 25-31% Women, 1824% Men

Starting an exercise program and improving your nutrition is the best way to turn back the body clock and it is never too late to start winding back the years. It is one of the best investments you can make for yourself and will pay dividends on a consistent/long-term basis. Obviously the sooner you start, the better, but starting is the essential ingredient that you need right now. Age is not an excuse to avoid a good exercise and nutrition plan, age is a reason to have a proper health and wellness plan. Your friend in fitness, Gino Garcia Owner, Vibe Fitness

Gino Garcia will be featured weekly in the Rialto Record and will be providing health and fitness motivation and tips.

New iEfficient.com App Lets IE Residents Quickly, Easily Report Water Waste

fficient.com now has a mobile app that gives Inland Empire residents the ability to instantly report water waste with their smartphones. “Broken and improperly set irrigation timers waste water and we think the app will engage local residents in spotting and stopping water waste,” said Bob Tincher, manager of water resources for San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. To download the free app, go to the app store on your mobile device and search “iEfficient.” You will then see the iEfficient app by CitySourced, Inc. The app is available for both Android and Apple phones.

Once you download the app, you can report water waste wherever you see it in western San Bernardino and Riverside counties. When you report water waste the app will automatically note your location and forward your report to the appropriate water agency for follow-up. If you prefer to not use the location finder on your smartphone, you can enter the location of the water waste you observed. You can also categorize the type of water waste you see, submit photos and videos of water waste along with your report to help expedite the repair. The iEfficient app went live in January. iEfficient.com will also allow site users to submit water

waste reports. At iEfficient.com, visitors can connect to existing conservation resources and information about how to protect the region’s precious water supplies. The site links users to their water providers and the water-saving rebates and programs available to them. Nearly 20 water agencies and city governments across the Inland Empire launched iEfficient.com last summer as part of a coordinated multimedia public outreach effort urging Inland Empire residents to end water waste. To learn more about iEfficient and to do your part to end water waste today, visit iEfficient.com.

Journalism Today: How Easy Is It to Adapt to Modern Technology?

e are living in the modern age—an era that features digital media as the lifeblood of the world’s information. The introduction of digital media has put into question the effectiveness of traditional media. In a period where vital information can be easily disseminated through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, will there be space left for traditional media values? Tom Watson described it powerfully in a recent Forbes Magazine article titled, Journalism is Changing from the Bottom Up: “Journalism sits on the sea between two mighty winds: the collapse of old school economic models that made newspapers, magazines, and network news operations big-time profit centers – and the still-unfolding opportunity provided by the 20-year-old commercial Internet and its related technology.” As we continuously see a decline in newspaper viewership, print advertising, and traditional media circulation, the emerging digital media technology that is being utilized by entrepreneurs, start-up companies, philanthropists, and innovators continues to take flight at an unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, newspapers (both small and large) continue to take a dramatic plunge in revenue. The American Enterprise Institute’s Carpe Diem blogger, Mark J. Perry found through research that print ads are at its lowest rate since 1950. It sounds like a Social Revolution that can make the average person into a news editor or entrepreneur. Awesome right? Not Exactly.

It turns out that digital ad dollars are not replacing the traditional print ads quick enough. Even worse, it seems that digital ad revenue is barely growing at all, according to Slate Magazine’s Jordan Weismann. So what’s the big hype about digital media? Well for starters, it’s information delivered at a quicker rate. As consumers of information, we are able to receive digital articles that include social perspective. For example, an opinion-editorial written by a columnist or reporter that is posted on Facebook or Twitter can receive feedback within a few minutes, whereas the print version of the editorial will receive responses days, if not weeks later. Moreover, innovative news forums such as reported.ly, shareable.net, and the Public Insight Network provide journalists, editors, and publishers with new networks to share knowledge, create constructive conversations, and invite collaboration. The downside of the digital realm is the lack of an adequate product—one that lacks the quality of traditional newspapers’ designs. Whereas print provided you with the organization of news sections through various topics and ensured the reader the freedom to browse at own will, various digital media websites constantly lose readers due to tendencies of bombarding readers with ads that overlap stories. What’s the solution?

Karlos Paez, bi-lingual Latin Reggae sound will not be compromised

By Harvey M. Kahn

atin-American reggae performer Karlos Paez plays music without borders. Born in Tijuana, but raised in San Diego, Paez has cut 11 eleven records and is booked 180 days per year. His tours span North Carolina to Mazatlan and despite suggestions from record companies, he has not accepted their formula for commercial success. "I record 50 percent in Spanish and 50 percent in English. Twenty years ago that didn't work. It's starting to work now," said Paez, who lives in Chula Vista. He and his band, the B-Side Players opened for Junior Reid in January at the Cave in Big Bear and make periodic stops in the IE at places like the Mission Tobacco Lounge. He's good enough to be billed at top reggae fests and has toured with Reid, Ben Harper, James Brown, the Wailers, and with Herbie Hancock's band. Paez doesn't just blend the traditional hip music of various cultures for mere enjoyment, his music has a message. "As a border child, it gave me a chance to experience diversity. People ask me what am I. Are you a Mexican? I answer. No. I'm a Chicano. It gets confusing when you are asked to pick sides, but I'm used to having to explain myself," said Paez, who is working on his 12th album. It is a collaboration and a tribute to his father, Esquivel

Karlos Paez sings of freedom and equality in a an effort to unite the cultures.

Paez, whose recordings with top Mexican banda's have gained worldwide sales. Karlos Paez said his father took him on tour at an early age and taught him the guitar, trombone and trumpet. Paez says the reggae sound is popular in Latin-American and that Bob Marley is a favorite of the youth of Mexico. "There has been a rise in the importance of mother

nature in Mexico and the importance of us all getting along. The word revolution is in some songs, but you have to weigh the scales in what you say. There is more censorship in Mexico, so I try to use a minimal amount of words. Until ten years ago, a lot of the music in Mexico was influenced by the drug cartels. That caused some of the current government censor-

ship." He said reggae music is still not played on Mexican radio stations. It is bought and sold on the underground market. Paez says he makes little off the sales of his CD's in Mexico. "They buy one and mass produce thousands of bootleg copies. I don't care because its building a fan base. I benefit from those who steal my music." He said that he and the BSide Players do get paid for their live shows in Mexico, which primarily occur in Sinaloa. He continued to say that many in Mexico still take it as an insult when he sings in English. Paez was speaking by phone while traveling from Portland to Seattle in the midst of driving to 14 cities for shows in 17 days. The 42-year-old Paez acknowledges that in his 20 years in the business, he has not had one song played on the radio. He and the B-Side Players are able to support their U.S. tours by selling their CD's at shows. Paez told that Spanglish recordings are increasing in popularity, further saying that his shows are becoming a favorite of surfers and skateboarders. Any loss in commercial success is more than made up by the respect Paez strives to get through lyrics about humanity, greed, ocean pollution, and La Raza. He produced a short documentary showing San Diego's homeless population living on the streets with the backdrop being the construction of the city's $240 million

baseball stadium. "My music is really hard to market. I've worked very hard to become established as a live performer and I'm certainly not going to give up my folkloric influence to follow someone else's formula for success. I've always been a rebel that way. I think it's important to build respect first."

Words to Think About: The Value of Friendships

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

ne of the great joys of living is having friends. Particularly as one grows older. Webster defines a friend as, “two persons that have a bond with each other based on personal regard.” Jesus is described in Luke 7:34 as being a friend to publicans and sinners. In the Book of James 2:23, it says that Abraham was called “the friend of God.” Hubert Humphrey is quoted as saying, “The greatest gift of life is friendship.” Thomas Aquinas was really inspired when he said, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than real friendship.” Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of my many literary mentors, said, “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” I like this statement by Euripides. “One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.” I really like women. Their looks, their minds and their spirit. Any-

one that knows me will agree. However, I thoroughly enjoy my male friends. Through the years I can count hundreds of them. Every church I have pastored (ten of them,) at least one-half of the membership was men. I played golf and tennis with them and argued with them and ate with them. We were and are friends. Today I have scores of male friends. I mean close friends. Five are older than me; 6 are ministers; seven are teachers; five are military; five are musicians; six are business people; four are medical doctors; and most are retired but not the doctors. Drs. Agee, Gayid, Phillips, and Rimmer. I’ve been friends with Dr. Don Reed since 1944; with Colonel Don Davis since 1948 and with Rev. Larry Stamper since 1958, with Dr. John Yount since 1975. Three of my close friends are: Bob Harvey, Frank Thomas and Charles Roberts. They are all in their 80’s as I am. I’m 87, Bob is 87 (4 months older than me); Frank is 85 and Charles is 82. Bob was a Biology Professor, Frank was a business man and Charles is a newspaper editor. Frank has been married 57 years to Betty; Charles has been married for 42 years to Myrna. I’ve been married 17 years to Stella and Bob’s significant other is Ginger. All three are ex-military. Bob and Frank were in the Navy. Charles was in Korea in Special Forces. Bob was on a troop ship in World War II and Frank was on a submarine tender in San Diego during the

Korean War. Bob joined the Navy at age 17, primarily to escape an abusive family. We have been friends for about 15 years. I call him a modern renaissance man. He is extremely intelligent and taught Biology at UCLA and Valley College for 30 plus years. He represented a major pharmaceutical company in the Brazilian jungle for a year, studying the plants and herbs that natives used. He also represented the U. S. government in Nevada studying the effects of nuclear explosions on humans. He is a musician, an architect, a builder, a publisher and a Biblical scholar. He is a prolific writer and poet. He has impersonated Mark Twain on the stage for many years. He is patriotic, an avowed agnostic, a voracious reader and loves to debate. I’ve known Charles Roberts since 2002 when he became editor of the Highland Community News. A native of Texas, he attended Odessa College and he has two daughters still living in Texas. After his stint in the Special Forces, he gravitated into news coverage in radio, television and newspaper. He has a unique ability in covering news and human interest stories. He can write a column and never redo it or change the content. The only person I ever heard about that could do that was the legendary columnist of the L.A. Times. Jack Smith. Charles and Myrna celebrate

their anniversary each April 1, by renewing their wedding vows and then going on a short honeymoon. They alternate the years as to which one makes the arrangements. This year it’s Myrna’s turn. Charles is patriotic, a news addict, he knows more about Highland than anyone else and attends all civic meetings in Highland. Bob, Charles and I have lunch at least once a month and discuss and argue for 90 minutes. Frank Thomas and I have been good friends for almost twenty years. We met in a magic class and have often joined in presenting

shows. Frank’s hobby and habit is caring for the grounds of the Lutheran Church on Palm Avenue. He is also very patriotic. He and Betty are devoted to their two boys, David and John, and their grandchildren. They are regular church goers and they share lunch with Stella and me on most Thursdays. I value my friendships with Bob, Charles and Frank. I hope it continues for many more years. Amen. Selah. So be it.

ith recent favorable temperatures outside, the dreams of taking to the water for a little fun in the sun are closer than ever, especially with the return of the Progressive Insurance Los Angeles Boat Show Feb. 19-22 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Burton W. Chace Park in Marina del Rey. The long-running event, now in its 60th year, draws thousands annually to the four-day show which features hundreds of exhibitors including dozens from the Inland Empire, said Dave Geoffroy, vice president of National Marine Manufacturers Association West. “Boating has grown since the recent recession and people are wanting to get back to enjoying their lives,” Geoffroy said. “We’ve had over a 20 percent increase in attendance and see enthusiasts from around the world come to the show, not only for boats, but for

those vendors that aren’t necessarily nearby.” Inland-area businesses setting up shop at this year’s event include San Bernardino-based Hardin Marine Arrowhead, Fontana-based Flagzup, Ontario-based Johnson Marine Supplies, Inc., Inland Auto Boat and RV and Corona’s Jerky Jerks Jerky, seen at local Farmers Markets including Redlands’ Market Night. In addition to the 100-plus vendors, a boatload of vessels and water accessories will fill three halls of the convention center which will display new, state-ofthe-art boats ranging from entrylevel weekend family cruisers to million dollar yachts, plus thousands of the newest marine gadgets and gear. For those wanting to experience the show in the sunshine, the event also cruises into the Burton W. Chace Park in Marina del Rey, where the SailFest 2015 debuts with boats of all sizes and price ranges will be ready for attendees to board and buy. Along with

browsing the boats at the Marina del Rey location, attendees can learn to captain a boat with daily powerboating and sailing lessons. The dozens of seminars and interactive portions of the show are among some of the biggest draws, Geoffroy added. Interactive events this year include The Progressive Insurance Boat School offers virtual, handson education in a newly built boat school that is held on an actual boat; “Ocean in Motion,” an interactive boat replica with an indoor pool for instructional demos, a boating simulator and a seethrough motion sensor digital floor; Try It Cove, an indoors onthe-water experience at the LA Convention Center with activities including stand up paddle boarding, SCUBA and kayaking. The show will also feature plenty of kid-friendly activities including remote control sailboat races, toy boat building and Fishing Friendzy, a new catch and release fishing pond. More than 200 fish will be

Cannabis Cup Brings Thousands to National Orange Show

PHOTO/FABIAN TORRES

A couple looks at itinerary for the 2015 High Times Magazine Southern California Cannabis Cup. This is the third year the National Orange Show hosts the marijuana-friendly event.

By Anthony Victoria, Community Writer

annabis advocates, users, and patients convened at the National Orange Show this past weekend to learn more about the latest marijuana strains, products, and employment opportunities in the nation’s fastest growing industry. Over 25,000 people from across the U.S. traveled to San Bernardino to mark the beginning of High Times Magazine’s Cannabis Cup event that is devoted to providing information on legalization efforts and the industry’s latest developments—while also providing a cannabis-friendly environment for users of the substance. The Fourth Annual Southern California edition is the

opening of a year-long event tour that will also travel to Denver, San Francisco, Portland, and Clio, Michigan. The “How to Get a Top Pot Job in the Cannabis Industry” seminar that was presented by Weedhire, a career website specifically for employment within the legal cannabis industry, was one of several seminars and workshops that were organized by High Times. Other seminars were based around learning to cultivate your own marijuana, how to make edible marijuana products, and the importance of conducting cannabis business. High Times editor Dan Sky said before the event that he believes events like the Cannabis Cup will continue to help create the discourse needed to address the need for legalization in California. Sky

said the cannabis community is preparing for the 2016 Statewide Election. “A lot of people invest thousands of dollars to come out here to sell their products and inform people about Cannabis’ medicinal value,” he said. “With the upcoming elections happening in California in 2016, advocates are aiming towards legalization. Their momentum is unstoppable.” However, the momentum seems to be ineffective in San Bernardino due to a large backlash from city leaders. Marijuana dispensaries currently are illegal in the city and events such as Cannabis Cup oppose the goal of closing them down, according to San Bernardino Councilman Jim Mulvihill. “It’s encouraging behavior that’s banned within the city of San

Free tax preparation for low to moderate income taxpayers in Rialto

he San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) is offering free tax preparation and efiling services for qualifying low to moderate income taxpayers through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Taxpayers can make appointments at local TAD offices or visit Rialto Library at 251 W. First Street in Rialto on February 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and March 13 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Services are available to eligible individuals and families who earned less than $53,000 in 2014. Tax returns are filed electronically, for both California and federal taxes. Taxpayers can call to make appointments and there are extended evening hours and Saturday appointments available. Walk-ins are also welcome. Bilingual tax preparation services are available.

Refunds may be received in as few as 7 days after acceptance. It is the tenth year that TAD has partnered with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to offer free, accurate, certified tax preparation services through the VITA program. The VITA campaign is focused on increasing awareness of the Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC, which most VITA qualified taxpayers are eligible to receive. This credit was developed to help assist those who are in financial need as well as to reward employment. Every year, thousands of families miss out on this tax credit; money that could be used to help meet their families’ basic needs. The additional money that taxpayers receive from the EITC has proven to help boost the local economy. “For those who are eligible to receive this free service, it can pro-

vide life changing outcomes,” said Nancy Swanson, Director of Transitional Assistance. “The earned income credit can be a much needed financial boost for taxpaying individuals and families in our local community and we are proud to be partnering, once again, with the IRS on the VITA program.” For further information regarding VITA program eligibility requirements, please visit our VITA website at hs.sbcounty.gov/VITA or call (909) 252-4903 or (760) 5526175. Transitional Assistance Department is doing its part to help the community achieve the Countywide Vision by ensuring residents have the resources they need to provide the necessities of life to their families.

Bernardino,” Mulvihill told the Press Enterprise on Saturday. “I just suspect this is going to cause a big influx of individuals who use marijuana. We’re probably going to see a lot more criminal behavior because of it.” National Orange Show events director Dan Jimenez said there has been no serious issues with crime in past events. In fact, Jimenez wishes the monthly magazine the best of luck. “They’re great to work with,” said Jimenez about High Times. “They don’t balk at security and are very cooperative. We definitely want them to be successful.” The event’s first day on Saturday February 7 featured live performances from renowned hip-hop artists and Cannabis advocates BReal of Cypress Hill and Rick Ross. B-Real, whose real name is Louis Freese, said the possibility of breathalyzers being utilized by law enforcement to test drivers for marijuana impairment may welcome more stigma from opponents. He urges that cannabis users be “smart and safe”, while also urging them to continue advocating for legalization. “Don’t give them a reason to be on your a**,” he said. “Just be safe and smoke at home...Keep advocating, learning, and spreading the word about Cannabis.”

Kurt Vaillancourt of Hollywood believes the event was a bit unorganized, but said it was a great event overall. “There were some things that could have been organized a little better, but the cool atmosphere and the good music definitely made up for it,” he said. “It was a great experience.” National Organization for Reforming Marijuana Laws (NORML) volunteer Paul Dergarabedin said he was once again impressed by the diligent work demonstrated by High Times staff and volunteers and looks forward to seeing their growth as a production business. “High Times is no longer just a magazine, but also a production company,” Dergarabedin said. “All and all it was a good show put on by them and I commend the phenomenal job their staff and volunteers did in organizing this event.” Several more marijuana events are planned to take place later this year in San Bernardino.

Coach Anderson, Arroyo Valley Focusing on CIF Playoffs

Com-

ichael Anderson should have been celebrating his team’s twenty-first straight victory and first league title in school history. Instead the Arroyo Valley Girls Basketball head coach is preparing for his seventh straight postseason appearance. He’s also hoping his team’s success will cast a shadow on the team’s unplanned controversy that arose after a large-margin victory. In their recent league game on February 6, the Lady Hawks (23-1, 8-0) defeated Anderson’s old team Rialto 47-29 to clinch the San Andreas League title and a possible top-seed ranking in the CIF-SS Division I-A playoffs. Despite another dominant winning performance that included senior Nidirah Stephens’ 21 point showing on offense, Anderson insisted that his team’s performance was far from exemplary.

“He sets the precedence over any coach or role model,” Nidirah Stephens said about Anderson. “His perseverance is truly amazing.”

“Our skill set and talent level I believe is a lot higher than what our play demonstrated tonight,” Anderson said. “We were a lot stronger than the opposition on the front line. I told my girls to relax and settle down and focus on the game and they did.” Arroyo Valley has improved immensely since Anderson took over the program last year. After finishing 6-22 in the 2012-13 season (the year Anderson won his fifth consecutive league title at Rialto High School), the Lady Hawks clinched a playoff appearance after finishing 16-12 (83 in league) under Anderson. Anderson said the team’s accomplishments have been overshadowed by the controversy surrounding their 161-2 victory over Bloomington High School that in recent weeks was a hot debated topic across the nation. ESPN’s Keith Olbermann recently named Anderson as one of the “worst people in the sports world.” He was suspended for two games by the school administration.

Anderson said that he was not trying to embarrass the opposition by running up the score. His team had won four previous games by at least 70 points, and Bloomington had already lost a game by 91. He said the experience did not deter him, but was a learning experience for everyone. “It’s a learning experience for everybody,” said Anderson. “The adversity that has came along with it has helped us to work harder.” Stephens, also one of the team’s captains, said she admires Anderson’s perseverance and has enjoyed playing under him these past two seasons. “He sets the precedence over any coach or role model,” she said. “His perseverance is truly amazing. Not everyone could overcome harsh criticism like that and continue to coach. We’re a month away from that incident and we’re just trying to move on.” Anderson said for a while his players were trying “too-hard” to win games for him, instead of playing their easy full-court, pressing, and half-court games. He only hopes his team continues to perform at a highlevel. “The girls and I have such a close relationship that sometimes they try to take matters into their own hands so to speak,” said Anderson. “They say they try to win games for me, but I don’t need that. Our talent level and skill set is enough for me to be satisfied. We’ve been separating ourselves from other teams because of our skill set, our coaching staff, and because of our hard work.” Anderson said his team’s accomplishment of winning the school’s first league title in Girls Basketball in school history was an achievement they should be proud of, but remained confident that his team has further goals to fulfill ahead. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Anderson said. “The blessings and success level I’ve achieved through coaching has been because of my hard work. We are among the top teams in the region and I think we can win it all.”

CSUSB drops doubleheader

By Richard Dawson

al State San Bernardino’s baseball team is ready for Holy Names University to leave town. After falling 10-5 to Holy Names (5-1) on Friday, the CSUSB (0-4) lost both games of a doubleheader on Saturday to the school from Oakland by scores of 11-4 and 74. Things started out well in Game 1 as first baseman Warren Fishback hit a solo home run in the Coyotes half of the second to tie the game at 1. However, things snowballed in the wrong direction during the third inning when the Hawks roughed up starter Kamden Haglund for five runs. A walk and a hit batter put two on with two outs for Holy Names. Haglund worked his way to a 1-2 count on Christopher Gnos, but the next pitch was singled to left for the first of five consecutive singles for the Hawks and a 6-1 lead. It remained that way until Holy Names added four runs in the seventh, which included a three-run homer by Dufford off CSUSB reliever Chris Neff, which made it 10-1. Down 11-1, the Coyotes scored three runs in the eighth. Jose Hernandez and William Ouellette walked and singled to start the inning. Grant Buchanan kept it going with a RBI double to score Hernandez and Fishback added a sac-fly that scored Ouellette.

In the second game, CSUSB scored four runs on five hits in the first inning, highlighted by a tworun double by Owen to take a 4-1 lead. The bats went cold after that as the Coyotes mustered just one hit the remainder of the game as Hawks starter Micah Ashburn found a groove. Holy Names scored two runs in the third, one run in the seventh and three more in the eighth to claim the 7-4 win.

Several high school football players announced their college commitments during the 2nd Annual "Inland Empire" National Signing Day at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana on Wednesday, February 4.

ollege football might be in the offseason but recruiting season reached its pinnacle last week. Top recruits around the country announced their college commitments, including many from the Inland Empire. However, until last year there was no one platform for a collective group of local players to share their decisions with the public. That changed thanks to IE Sports Net radio personalities Brian Arrington and Eddie Talbert Jr., who for the second straight year hosted the “Inland Empire” National Signing Day, this year the event was held at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. “We realized there was no national signing day for the Inland Empire,” said Arrington. “When I came out here (from LA) I realized there was a need for it. There is a lot of good talent out here, Blake Barnett (Corona Santiago) just went to Alabama, kids are going to Oregon and Arizona State. We wanted to bring it to the forefront.” This year the group consisted of 10 local players, including Zamore Ziglar and Daijon McFoy (Rialto Carter) and LeVonte Wilson (Colton).

Ziglar signed his letter of intent with San Jose State, McFoy with Dixie State in Utah, and Wilson with Chadron State College in Nebraska. The media room at the Auto Club Speedway was overflowing with friends and family there to support each of the players. Arrington and Talbert Jr. gave each player a few minutes to explain their journey and decision making process. Last year the event was held at the Ontario Dave and Buster’s, but the need for a larger venue prompted them to look elsewhere. “I am a Fontana resident,” said Arrington. “I reached out to Autoclub Speedway, we pitched them the idea and they loved it. They were very gracious to have us. It just shows we are getting bigger and better.” Donnie Green (Upland), Michael Neal and Khaylan Thomas (Etiwanda), Jihree Stewart (Corona Centennial), Tevita Mounga (Vista Murrieta), Remmy Nerio (Arlington), and Robert Evans (Silverado) were the other players that attended the event. IE Sports Net can be heard on NBC Radio Sports affiliate KCAA 1050 AM/Inland Empire and seen weekly on KVMD-TV Ch 23/Los Angeles.

County museum exhibit brings legendary mountain men to life

By Yazmin Alvarez, Community Writer

everal hundred were taken back in time Friday night into an era of legendary mountain men during a preview night for the San Bernardino County Museum’s newest exhibit, “Turn Left at the Rockies: Mountain Men in San Bernardino County, 1826 to 1850. “Turn Left at the Rockies” introduces visitors to mountain men, the legendary fur traders of the Rocky Mountains who came to southern California between 18261850. The exhibit showcases artifacts, extracts from their own personal journals, several hands-on displays including the chance to touch real beaver and animal furs hunted and trapped by mountain men. Beaver fur was a highly valued commodity in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In North America, beaver was first acquired by trade with Native Americans, but in the early 1800s fur companies began organized trapping expeditions. These companies were so efficient that beaver quickly became scarce, and the search for new beaver streams began, according to a museum press release. The special preview night offered Museum Association members a glimpse into the time period by bringing the era to life with performances, live music, demonstrations and story telling by the mountain man himself, “Jedidiah Smith.” “Mountain man Jedediah Smith set off in search of beaver streams in 1826, and his path south brought him to the Colorado River and across the Mojave Desert to

Mission San Gabriel, the first American to enter California overland. His trailblazing path was followed by other trappers and traders, at first seeking fur, then California horses and mules, and finally gold,” explained museum officials. “The period of time between 1826 and 1850 was selected as the focus of the exhibit because those few years were a time of amazing change in California,” said Jennifer Reynolds, museum media specialist. “Southern California transitioned from the Spanish Mission era to the Mexican Rancho era, and then, with the discovery of gold and the Gold Rush, plunged into statehood. Former mountain men like Kit Carson, Isaac Slover, John Brown Sr., James Waters, and others were right in the middle of these events, right here in our county.” In an effort to make exhibit openings more family-focused, the San Bernardino County Museum Association and San Bernardino County Museum are launching more interactive events and programs like Friday night’s showcase to help explore history, said Museum Director Leonard Hernandez. Several former mountain men were instrumental in the development of the state of California and the county of San Bernardino and the preview night offered a neat component to the exhibit opening because it highlights those that came through, stayed and established the San Bernardino-area,” Hernandez said. “Some of those (men) were notorious, some famous… the rest you have to see yourself,” he said.
