unified rescue and response team. It was the first time the agencies held a joint-training to take on an active shooter scenario. As each department brings in a different dynamic to an incident response, the goal in the end is always the same, said Rialto police Lt. James Kurkoske. “It’s about getting in during that golden hour so we can save lives.” The test drill last week brought members of both departments and safety officers from the Rialto Unified School District to work

collaboratively to reduce response times in any emergency or mass casualty situation. Rialto fire and police explorers volunteered to play the injured. Battalion Chief Brian Park said the training is a new practice to train both agencies to work as a team in order to get victims out without having to wait for police to give the all clear. Park said in the past EMS would have to wait for police to secure an area before being allowed in to respond. “We already know how to respond in an emergency,” he said. “With this new training compo-

nent, we can actually enter a building by working with police while they’re actively looking for a shooter or suspects. Often times the cops go in but the paramedic end up on the sidelines for extended times. That delay time can be critical for those injured and we want to introduce help as soon as possible. Again, the goal is to save lives.”

Summertime is hydration time

By Gino Garcia, Vibe Fitness

ith summer approaching and temperatures rising, the importance of ensuring we remain hydrated with water through the summer months is crucial for our health and safety. Maintaining sufficient fluid levels will reduce the risk of heat related injuries such as cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Our bodies are made up of about 60-70% water; every cell, tissue, organ, and biological process in the body depends on water to function efficiently. Since water plays such a crucial role in our overall health, it’s important to understand the benefits of proper hydration as it pertains to our health. Here are my top five reasons why we should remain hydrated with water.

1. Performance Improvement. Whether you are an elite athlete competing in sports or average fitness enthusiast looking to maintain your health, proper hydration will aid you in performing at your very best. Cells in the muscles that do not maintain a proper balance of fluid (water) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) will shrivel which can lead to muscle fatigue. When this occurs you reduce your performance on the playing field or inside the training facility. To ensure you are performing at your full potential you need to provide your body with the proper amount of water.

acts as a protective barrier to prevent excessive fluid loss (WebMD, 2015). Dehydration can lead to dry and wrinkled skin because the body is not receiving adequate fluid intake to hydrate the skin. Though there is not a lot of scientific research to support the claim that drinking water will help maintain or improve skin appearance, I am going with the common sense approach based off my own personal experience on this one. If our skin contains 64% of water then common sense should tell us that we need to ensure our body has an adequate amount of water to hydrate the skin. 3. Healthy Brain. Our brain is made up of approximately 85% water and requires twice the energy to function efficiently as compared to other cells in the body. Since our brain does not have a system to store water it’s crucial to replace the fluid we lose through breathing, sweating, and bowel movements consistently throughout the day. Ensuring we remain hydrated aids our thinking, memory, and ability to focus which are linked to functions of the brain.

some fresh fruit and veggies into your daily diet as part of your hydration plan.

5. For Safety. I will keep this one simple. If your body is dehydrated then you are at risk for heat exhaustion or heat stroke which can lead to death! Proper hydration helps regulate our internal core temperature; dehydration means your body does not have an adequate amount of fluid to ensure all the cells, tissue, and organs in the body can function efficiently. The body’s warning systems for dehydration include: dizziness, cramps, loss of memory, confusion, increased thirst, and weakness. Ensure you are safe by remaining hydrated. There you have it, my top five reasons why we should remain hydrated with water. The requirements and recommendations for water consumption vary (6-8 glasses daily is common), so my suggestions are simple. You should never allow yourself to get thirsty and drink water throughout the day. When or if drinking water gets bland for your taste buds then try adding in some lemon or fruit to change up the flavor. And don’t forget to eat those fruits and veggies that contain high amounts of water.

4. Eat More Food. Now this one is probably my favorite since I LOVE to eat. Did you know we can hydrate our body through food In health and strength, consumption? Fruit such as water- Gino Garcia melon contains 90% water and Owner, Vibe Fitness provides you with a natural sweet snack while hydrating the body.

To Young Chicano/Latinos: Let’s embrace our culture!

he Chicano Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s invigorated a fervent passion in Mexican American youth across the southwest. Its philosophy called for self-determination and cultural identity--two elements that Chicano and Latino youth continue to struggle with today. This past quarter at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), I had the privilege of working under political scientist Professor Dr. Armando Navarro to learn about the History of the Chicano Studies department--a section of our campus that no longer exists. Despite the absence of a strong, “cash strapped” Chicano/Latino academic branch, UCR has done a sufficient job in addressing the academic and personal needs of the Chicano/Latino student population. In speaking to prominent Chicano faculty Professor Emeritus of History Dr. Carlos E. Cortes and to former student activists Jesse Valenzuela, Alfredo Figueroa, and Agustin Rios, I came to the realization that the success of the Chicano Student Programs (CSP) at the university is a result of the work of our predecessors; people that were willing to break away from conformity in order to provide future generations a safe space to learn about themselves. Whereas it is evident that a shift has occurred in the priorities of student organizations such as el Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (M.E.Ch.A.), the vibrant Chicanismo that permeated Library South in those golden days continues to motivate a new generation to seek cultural identity and empowerment for their communities. Cortes, 83, who was among the first to hold the title of department chair for the Chicano Studies Department (1972), was among the first in our area to question the common curriculum of U.S. education. His lecture during the first ever Mexican American organized conference at UCR in 1971, “Revisiting the ‘All-American Soul Course’: A Bicultural Avenue to Educational Reform”, explained that in that time period Ethnic Studies rarely received acclaim for its attempts of seeking intercultural understanding. “In my talk I challenged those criticisms by arguing that U.S. education itself was an extended

‘soul course’ for fostering American identity,” Cortes said. “Except that in doing so it generally excluded those groups that did not fit neatly into the calcified ways of recalling and teaching U.S. history, literature, and other subject areas.” The youth of that generation, not far removed from the New-Left youth movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Farm Workers Movement, embraced these exogenous factors in order to seek their own rights. Like Today, many of these students hailed from places like Indio, Thermal, and San Bernardino--where opportunities and resources are scarce for many residents. However, the huge difference from the days of “El Movimiento” and are present period is that fragmentation and apathy seem to be commonplace in Chicano/Latino communities. This is the result of our failure to identify with our ethnicity and culture-the negligence of our people’s historical value. “We always made sure to speak on the Chicano Manifesto and El Plan de Santa Barbara to ensure students knew of the reason why were here,” said former Mechista Jesse Valenzuela. “You always have to know about the past in order to learn about the future. They always have to realize that Chicano Studies wasn’t always here.” In the present, it is almost a surprise to know someone who is fully versed in the rhetoric of El Plan de Espiritual de Aztlán or El Plan de Santa Barbara. My fear is that these documents will be non-existent to the upcoming generation that follows ours. While I applaud the efforts of great mentors and leaders on our campus such as Professor Navarro, Professor Emeritus Cortes, and CSP director Estella Acuna, much more needs to be done if we want Chicano Studies, Latin American Studies, or for that matter, Ethnic Studies to continue to be offered at universities across the nation.

Our predecessors fought valiantly against roadblocks to make sure we would one day be able to learn about our people’s heroes. And that’s because they see themselves in us. At one point in their life they were young working, middle class students, looking for a better path and for a solution to the struggles our barrios face. It is imperative that we continue to push for the retention of this valuable academic discipline because it will ensure our people will be educated about their culture.

Residents could help dig San Bernardino out of debt

I spoke at the San Bernardino City Council meeting and told my “thinking out of the box” idea to help add income to the city to pay the debt we owe. The idea is that we ask all who pay bills in the city to “round up” their payment and that amount be placed in a trust fund toward paying back our debt.

The 10-year budget plan prepared May 30 for the judge showed that it could not pay back the money owed. All the residents in the city of San Bernardino owe this debt. I am a resident and I owe this debt.

Eventually, the county could place a levy on property to pay this debt, increasing my house tax and yours. Even though there are

At any time, I expect the leftwingers to start blaming the floods and unseasonable rains that swamped large areas of Texas on man-made climate change and global warming.

The term global warming is not bandied about as often as it used to be. I believe the reason for its unpopularity is that the non-believers did some research and discovered that 93 percent of the scientists who are advocates of the hoax “climate change” are being subsidized by the federal government, which rewards those scien-

Words to Think About: History and Reality of the Holocaust

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

he history and reality of the Holocaust in World War II has been well chronicled. From the concentration camps comes the story that survivors must not let the tragedy be forgotten. The events must be remembered.

The remnants of the Warsaw ghetto in particular carried out this message. It is actualized in Israel today. In fact, ever since the establishment of the Israeli nation in 1948, graduating officers from the military service are taken to the Masada in the Sinai desert. Overlooking the Dead Sea a service of commitment is conducted. The message is affirmed by each officer. Never again. Never again will Jews allow themselves to be docile in the midst of persecution. They will not be led like sheep to the slaughter. One of the most memorable experiences of my travels occurred in Dachau, Germany. It is located a few miles from Munich, about a 15 minute train ride. A short bus ride from the train station stops two blocks from the camp. The town surrounds the camp like one of our schools. There are small houses, stores and churches. Lawns are well kept and children play in the yards. There is limited noise and just an occasional horn. Normal? I’m not sure because I was there on a Sunday morning.

The buildings in the camp are low and in fairly good condition. Barbed wire is on top of all of the walls and the buildings. The original barracks have all been destroyed, with only a couple replicas standing. There are pictures on the walls along with various items of torture showing what the barracks looked like during the war. I shall never forget walking down the road toward the incinerators, about 400 yards. The memories of what I had seen in the camp museum were unforgettable. Of the thousands who were in the gas chambers and then their bodies burned; 500,000 were ministers, along with doctors, teachers, professors, and scientists, priests, and rabbis. Dachau was the focus of the educated leaders. It was raining and I was the only tourist. As I walked, suddenly the distant sound of church bells began to peal forth. Tears coursed down my face as it dawned on me the prisoners could have heard those same bells. Church members would have gone to worship with

smoke pouring from the ovens. Were they aware of what was going on? Could they hear the cries of tortured victim? Did they register any kind of protest? Those are some of the questions that plagued my mind. I walked slowly through the gas chambers-my mind running rampant. I then went through the building with the furnaces. Adjacent to these horrible places a memorial chapel has been built. Also, a chapel for worship has been built beside the property. I attended the worship service. Returning slowly to the main gate, again my thoughts turned to the victims and their families. I can well appreciate the impact of this Holocaust on the German psyche since what I saw has left an indelible imprint on my mind. The gas chambers were next to the crematoriums. The prisoners were stripped of their clothes, which were then cleaned and sold to the citizens. After the prisoners were gassed, the gold and silver fillings were taken from their mouths and sold. Following the

cremation, the ashes were collected, bagged and sold as fertilizer to the local farmers. Hitler and the Nazis bragged about their efficiency. Through the years since the end of World War II, there have been several groups that have challenged the veracity of the Holocaust. To my way of thinking, history has verified its reality. Between 6 to 8 million people were slaughtered by the Nazis. I have visited Israel eight times and on two occasions have visited the Survivors of Warsaw Kibbutz. It is located in the north part of Israel, not too far from Lebanon. The people without exception, gave testimony to the reality of the tragedy. It has been said the past century was the most violent one recorded in history. Genocide in Turkey, Africa and Germany must never happen again. The best way to avoid such happenings again is to never forget the past. Amen. Selah. So be it.

Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC) youth organizer Pablo Machado, 19, of Colton speaking to San Bernardino residents about the dangers of Human Trafficking during a march on Wednesday June 10.

By Anthony Victoria, Staff Writer

group of community organizers, school district officials, and residents marched through G Street in San Bernardino on Wednesday June 10 to shed light on the issue of human trafficking. The demonstration-- the second that has taken place in the city in 2015--was led by San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) Youth Services director Ray Culberson. The long time community advocate said motivation to hold demonstrations comes through the experiences of helping young girls escape prostitution. He said he is devoted to addressing the issue and bringing a long-term solution. “Young girls are being manipulated and are [forced] into this business,” Culberson said. “If we let our children into this world, we are going to have more chaos. Everything I am doing now is geared towards getting young kids on the right track.” As of 2013, the Innocence Lost National Initiative has successfully identified and recovered more than 2,700 children that have been sexually exploited since its start 12 years ago. In January, the San Bernardino Police Department, with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the San Bernardino County Human Trafficking task force roamed the city in hopes of curbing street prostitution and rescue

children that were forced to sell their bodies for sexual intercourse. “We are losing our young people very unnecessarily, “ SBCUSD board member Dr. Margaret Hill implied. “If they want to make money, they need to stay in school, get an education, in order to receive a job with benefits. They can always call the district and ask for help. We can provide services such as, mental health, physical, health, education, living, and any other services that will make these young people be whole again.” At the district level, SBCUSD board member Abigail Medina mentioned there are measures to help curb human trafficking and other harmful activities that afflict youth. The district is working to implement Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) programs to help students, as well as creating a Youth Court where peers provide a support system to help at-risk students. “We don’t want to wait until Middle School or High School, and wait until they get negative support from outside,” Medina explained. “We want to make sure we figure out ways to support them within school sites.” Moreover, Medina believes marches is just the beginning of a strategic plan that aims to engage with victims and residents on a more personal basis. “This is a good way to take a stand,” she said. “However, we need to meet up with victims and neighborhood residents to find out first hand what they are experiencing.”

ers), the brothers appeal to audiences of all ages. Admission is $2 and everyone is invited. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages.

Becker ponders decision between professional baseball or playing at Oregon

By Harvey M. Kahn

COURTESY PHOTO

Branden Becker at Ken Hubbs Award ceremony.

ormer Cajon High School baseball player and 2015 Ken Hubbs nominee Branden Becker knows that others would love to be in his difficult situation. Does he sign a professional baseball contract to play for the Baltimore Orioles organization or accept a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Oregon. Becker knows there are temptations to jump at a baseball contract, yet understands the importance of going to a major university and maturing. "I'm just enjoying this moment and either way I'm set up," said Becker, who took honors classes this year at Cajon. "There is a lot to consider." He was a three-year All-Belt League shortstop at Cajon who made the 2014 Milwaukee Brewers Area Code team that represented the Inland Empire against other teams in Southern California. "The Area Code games are played as summer showcases for major league scouts," explained Becker. "They create a lot of exposure. One

of our games was televised nationally online by ESPN3. That's when I first realized that I might make it." As a good fielding shortstop who bats left handed, hits for average and can also play second or third base, the pro scouts started contacting Becker in large numbers. He recalled about 12 teams, including the Angels, Mariners, Royals, Cubs and Mets. "Oregon knew that I'd be drafted and they would be disappointed if I signed but they would understand. Former Cal State Fullerton coach George Horton is now at Oregon and they are ready for the next level." Becker would have made the decision by the time this article appears. If he goes pro, the Rookie League starts shortly and so does summer work outs in Oregon. If he does not sign with the Orioles, Becker will have played for San Bernardino County in the Inland Empire Coaches Association 2015 All-Star Game on June 15. Either way, he is ready for "the grind" of the game of baseball. He's been schooled by older brother's Jordan and Cameron who played at Cajon before him. He grew up with family

fiend and pro pitcher Aaron Brooks. Becker is a student of baseball history from Newmark Little League to Hank Aaron. "Newmark has produced big leaguer's Tommy Hanson, Brooks, and Greg Gerber. There have been many more who got drafted." Becker already has a rookie gold baseball card being distributed by the Leaf Company. "I signed about 250 of those cards and they are selling for about $8-9 on eBay." He went on to describe about nine development levels one must climb to the majors. "It is very hard to make it but baseball is my life." He recommends that high school athletes play as many sports as possible until you find one that you're good at. "You get good by practicing. If you have a work ethic, you will show improvement. People you think could never make it, can improve enough to become a pro," advised Becker. "There's a lot of great athletes walking around town but they don't have the mind set. It takes a good family support system and good grades." Becker has been active at Holy Rosary Church where part of his

catechism is to serve food at places like Helping Hands Pantry and Mary's Table. "Most who come there are shy. They have been through a lot and you can see their struggles. Life can be hard. I've learned to live each day. I don't have it bad."

Brianna Cassidy says success comes with no excuses; will play softball at Nebraska

PHOTO COURTESY/ BRI CASSIDY

Cajon's Brianna Cassidy was a two-time high school softball All-American who will play next season on scholarship at University of Nebraska.

By Harvey M. Kahn

rianna Cassidy heard some say she wouldn't make it because she was just another from San Bernardino whose parents didn't live together. Cassidy, a high school All-American softball player from Cajon High, admitted that finances were sometimes an issue when it was time to pay for travel softball. "My family had just enough but there are no excuses for not being successful," said Cassidy. "I had a great support system that pushed me to succeed. My parents told me I couldn't play unless I got good grades. That helped me manage my time." Cassidy currently works umpiring as many as three youth games per day. The 17-year-old Cassidy added a lot of self-determination to that sup-

port, with the result being a full scholarship to the University of Nebraska where she might win the starting catching job next season as a freshman. Cassidy leaves behind a long list of accomplishments at Cajon High School to rank her among the best in school history. As a junior, Cassidy was selected as a National Fastpitch Coaches Association first team All-American and later earned Western Region All-American honors. She was a two-time member of the San Bernardino Sun All-County 1st team and was selected as Cajon's Ken Hubbs 2015 Athlete of the Year. She tacked on three All-Citrus Belt 1st team honors as well. She played travel ball for the elite Corona Angels. "To get recruited into college you have to play travel ball," advised Cassidy. She credited travel ball

coaches Jeff Blanco and Vicki Rios with her early development. Cassidy said college recruiters started scouting her when she was a 12year-old. "Rios opened my eyes to the many opportunities." Cassidy graduated in the top 6% of Cajon seniors. Her 4.41 GPA was more than enough to earn her membership in the National Honor Society. She was also a peer mentor, a best buddy and a student representative to Cajon's school site council. "Autism runs in my family. People don't want to talk to those with disabilities, so being their friend means so much to them. It makes me realize all the things I have." Her busy schedule has often caused her to go directly from games to Cajon administrative meetings in a soiled uniform and wearing eye black. "I was one of six who were the voice of the students on the school site council. We discussed conduct and money issues. It was a mandatory monthly meeting of parents, teachers, and administrators. It's where things got done." Cassidy said she will leave for her new life in Lincoln, Nebraska on Aug. 18. She told of softball game tailgate parties that number in the thousands. Where University of Nebraska athletes are asked for autographs on city streets. "It was unreal. I knew that was the place for me." She feels that college athletes get enough benefits without asking to be paid". She says it costs about $65,000 per college year for tuition, not counting travel, food, lodging and sports equipment, which could total close to $175,000 per year. Cassidy thinks success comes from having friends who want to become successful, too. Her 12year-old brother is a Newmark Little League all-star. For further information about Cassidy, see her letter posted on the Newmark Little League facebook site.

Zoe Casas, of Aquinas, makes a catch for Inland Empire.

By Richard Dawson

an Bernardino players finally got invited but Orange County kept the bragging rights. Orange County was up by five after three innings and cruised to a one-sided 9-0 win during the first annual Inland Empire vs. Orange County all-star softball game at Big League Dreams in Chino Hills on Wednesday, June 10. In the previous 11 years, the game was a matchup of only Riverside all-stars against Orange County with OC holding a 5-4-2

series record. The game nearly paired Yucaipa star Brooke Bolinger against Mission Viejo’s Taylor McQuillin, but Bolinger ended up missing the game. The duo squared off at the CIF-SS Division 2 championship game the week prior, a game which Yucaipa won 1-0. Instead, the Inland Empire offense failed to muster much offense against McQuillin, the 2015 Gatorade Player of the Year, generating two hits and a walk while striking out eight times against the Arizona commit. Both of the Inland Empire’s hits

came in the second inning and the team looked poised to score. Norco’s Abby Lockman led-off with a single and Ciera Schick (Los Osos) followed with a ground rule double to left, but McQullin stranded the runners by striking out the next three hitters. Orange County took advantage of its opportunities, scoring five runs in three innings against Schick and then roughing up Citrus Valley’s Taylor Troost for four runs in two innings. Troost pitched a scoreless fourth but ran into trouble in the fifth, most of the damage coming on a three-run home run by San Clemente’s Lauren Cane. Five of the six outs Troost recorded came via strikeout. The Citrus Belt League was well represented with five players on the roster. Brianna Cassidy and Kirsten Caudle of Cajon, Autumn Gillespie of Redlands East Valley, Annie Bakenhus of Yucaipa and Troost. Zoe Casas of Aquinas went 0 for 2 while Grand Terrace’s lone senior, Destini Peck, went hitless in one at-bat.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA05000116-15-1.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to

investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/D efaultManagement/TrusteeServi ces.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 201407788-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale

he 2015 Memorial Day ceremony was conducted at the Mt. View Mortuary and Cemetery in San Bernardino. The event was co-hosted by The American Legion Post 14 and Mt View Cemetery. Memorial Day ceremonies have been observed since after the Civil War but it was not until 1971 that Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the Armed Forces. The Honor Guard from March Air Force Base conducted a three volley salute and taps. The "three volley salute" honors those who have served in the military. After the rifles are raised into the sky three shots are fired. The bugler sounds "Taps". The San Bernardino High School ROTC Honor Guard posted the colors during the ceremony. The Condor Squadron did three flyovers in four vintage WWII fighter planes. On the first two

flyovers there were four planes in formation and on the last flyover; the planes went into the "missing man" formation. The missing man formation is an aerial salute preformed as part of a flyover to commemorate the death of a fallen soldier. Connie Anderson, General Manager with Mt View Mortuary and Cemetery said that about 1000 people came to enjoy the Memo-

rial Service. Mt. View Mortuary covered all the costs for the event including the 1100 hamburgers and hot dogs, which were prepared by the staff for the attendees and the flyover by "The Condor Squadron". Connie and Mt. View Mortuary look forward to proving additional community events in the future. Special speakers included Assembly Member Marc Steinorth, County Supervisor Josie Gonzales and San Bernardino Mayor Carey Assembly Member Davis. Steinorth awarded The American Legion Post 14 a Certificate of Recognition. Supervisor Josie Gonzales addressed the crowd by recognizing the homeless veteran's issues. "We owe our men and women who come home a better quality of life than what we have been able to provide up to now", said Gonzales. Several local dignitaries attended the ceremony, including: State Assemblymember Cheryl Brown, Council Member Rikke Van Johnson, Council Member John Valdivia, Council Member Benito Barrios, Council Member Henry Nickel, Council Member James Mulvihill and City Attorney Gary Saenz. Among the thousands that attended were Bill Burgee and his friend Danny Flores. Burgee served with the US Army and turned around and served with the

t’s summertime in the Inland Empire, which means school children have time off from school for several weeks. Where can one find access to meals and snacks needed in order to ensure their little ones are receiving the necessary nutrition? Thanks to the Summer Meals Program, individuals 18 years old or younger can receive free meals and healthy snacks at parks, schools, community centers, libraries, and churches across San Bernardino County. On Friday June 12, the program’s coordinators---Helping Hands

Pantry, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health Nutrition, the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, the Alliance for Education, the Child Care Resource Center, and the Inland Empire Job Corps--hosted a kick-off event at the Norton Distribution Center to increase awareness of the program. The aforementioned organizations provided free food, music, games, resources, and activities to approximately 200 residents. Funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the California Department of Education (CDE), the Summer Meals Program helps families save approximately $300 on food. The

program does not require any income qualifications, enrollment, or paperwork. Last year only five percent (10,000 of 194,000) of school children who received free or reduced lunch during the school year participated in the Summer Meals Program. County Public Health Nutritionist Robin Ronkes said the collaborative effort intends to increase the participation rate by increasing the number of sites, contacting other community organizations, utilizing the 2-1-1 database to provide residents information on sites and human services, and providing more activities for both children and parents. This year there are more than 150 summer meal sites. “Our county has one of the lowest participation rates,” Ronkes said. “In working with several partners, we will provide enrichment to our community through nutrition and key services.” San Bernardino City librarian Linda Adams Yeh believes the program will be essential to the welfare of the county’s residents. “I think it’s very important and is needed because some of these kids don’t receive lunch during the summer,” Yeh said. “There is a definite connection between learning and nutrition. I think it is good that they receive food for their bodies and brains, while also reading books and listening to storytellers at the library. If you have well fed kids, they will feel better about themselves and their future.” Maria Gutierrez of San Bernardino, who took her two

daughters and son to the kick-off event said she was unaware of the Summer Meals Program. She expressed her gratitude to the event’s organizers for extending their help to the community. “These are important resources that people in San Bernardino should know about,” she said. “All these organizations play an important part in informing residents of their services. A lot of us don’t know how to seek help.” As a single mother Gutierrez explained the Summer Meals Program will provide a “lending

hand” that helps alleviate utility and everyday living expenses. “There’s a lot of women out there like me who are struggling, who do not have help,” Gutierrez said. “We need to pay other bills and expenses. This program will make it easier to accommodate our lives.” To find the nearest summer meal site, residents are encouraged to call 2-1-1 (toll free); text FOOD to (909) 877-877 (Spanish: COMIDA); or visit w w w. f n s . u s d a . g o v / s u m m e rfoodrocks.
