he San Bernardino Police Department conducted a city-wide specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation on Monday, April 7, 2014 in an effort to continue lowering deaths and injuries. Extra officers were on duty patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur. Officers conducted 125 traffic stops on motorcycles and other vehicles looking for drivers and riders who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol and cracking down on traffic violations that can lead to motorcycle collisions, injuries and fatalities.

During this event, one person was arrested and 115 citations were issued for various non-DUI violations, including 11 citations issued to drivers for driving with a suspended or revoked license and 20 citations issued to drivers for driving without a valid license. Thirty-one vehicles were impounded during this program, 20 of which were impounded for 30 days.

Riders can get training through the California Motorcyclist Safety Program. Information and training locations are available at www.CAmsp.org or 1-877 RIDE 411 or 1877-743-3411.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

"We won first place in the 500i division. There are a number of divisions depending on the size of the agency," says Garcia.

The event is hosts law enforcement teams from throughout the world. "It's just a great event.

We've been kind of chipping away at it over the years," continues

Garcia. "It was great to have the team come together this year as well as they did."

"This is just another way that we say thank you to our men and women of our department," says Councilman Valdivia.

To be recognized by city council, is "a big deal for us," says Garcia.

"It's an honor for us to go up and represent not only the agency but the city." he continues. "This is really a bigger deal than just winning a race. It's representing what we believe is still a great city and

we're proud to represent the city and our agency while we're up there."

The Baker to Vegas Relay was initiated by Los Angeles Police Officers Chuck Foote and Larry Moore in 1985. Each year the relay takes place in late March or early April, beginning 25 miles north of Baker, California, along Highways 127 and 178, then across the Nevada state line to Highways 372 and 160, leading to the finish line inside the Hilton Hotel Convention Room in Las

ders. You know that better than I do, and it's happened to victims of all ages." Ramos credits the department for seeking justice for many victims stating that San Bernardino has some of the top homicide detectives in the nation.

"We need to take our community back," said Ramos, "from what I call our 'local terrorists'." Ramos says he's committed to removing criminals off the streets of San Bernardino and praises Police Chief Jarrod Burguan and Mayor Carey Davis, both of whom were in attendance, for their commitment to public safety.

"For the city of San Bernardino it is of the utmost importance that we stand with the men and women and children that are victims of crime," said Mayor Carey Davis. "During

this week, we recommit to preventing crime, strengthening rights and services for all victims. Together we can expand opportunities and build a safer San Bernardino."

In attendance was Anita Molina, mother of 15 year-old Joseph Molina, who lost his life after he was gunned down on January 17, 2014. "Just an innocent little boy, at the wrong place and the wrong time." says Molina. "It's been four months now and I don't have that peace and comfort that a mother needs," she says. "I want justice to be served and I want the person responsible for killing my son to be behind bars."

National Victim's Rights Week is observed from April 6 through April 12, 2014. The event was held on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at the San Bernardino Police Department located at 710 N. D Street.

Words to think about: Adoption

hat do the following people have in common? Aristotle, Moses, Muhammad, Romulus and Remos, Alexander Hamilton, James Michener. Herbert Hoover, Andrew Jackson, Benito Juarez, Nelson Mandela, Eleanor Roosevelt, Joseph Smith, Louis Armstrong, Faith Hill, John Lennon, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Art Linkletter, Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe, Steve Jobs, Dave Thomas: plus many more.

They were all orphaned at an early

age from their biological parents.

Most of them were either adopted or raised in orphanages.

A clear cut analysis of all of them is that they achieved great success in their chosen fields. History has rewarded them by recording their achievements.

I’m sure that everyone who reads this article will be able to identify every person. Perhaps not Benito Juarez who was called the Abraham Lincoln of Mexico; or Joseph Smith, who was the founder of Mormonism; or Dave Thomas who founded Wendy’s.

Adoption is a beautiful and meaningful word. It has legal implications, social responsibilities, religious references and a family heritage. Ancient cultures like Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Jewish and Roman all gave respect and prominence to adoption.

Many Roman emperors were adopted by previous emperors rather than their biological children.

For those of you who are readers of the Bible and believers, you might be interested in knowing that the Apostle Paul (in the King James Version) uses the word adoption several times. Three times in Romans, once in Galatians, and once in Ephesians.

All believers are adopted by God. We are His heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus. There is no doubt about our heritage.

A major emphasis of this article is based on the book, “Orphan Train Rider,” by Andrea Warren, published in 1996. “More than 200,000 children rode “orphan trains” in this country between 1854 and 1930.

Kids from orphanages, street kids, kids whose parents were dead (either victims of disease or the Civil War) were loaded on trains. The mid-west was the destination. The kids were lined up and farmers and other interested adults would choose which child they wanted.

Both boys and girls were on the trains. They always checked their muscles and their teeth.

The times were rough on children.

Orphanages often mistreated them.

Food was scarce. No medical care, very little affection was given. Children were separated from their siblings. Government regulation was unheard of. Labor laws were nonexistent. Many times 5-10 year olds worked in coal mines and steel mills.

The author says, “Homeless children slept on sidewalks or in empty buildings. They ate out of trash cans.” In 1850 New York City had

Small details produce huge benefits for Redlands East Valley, Yucaipa baseball teams

T

here's a reason successful high school baseball programs get championships and develop players for the next level. According to an informal survey of local baseball experts it can be the sum of little ball that adds up to big plays. The example was when Redlands East Valley High School played a recent Citrus Belt League game with Yucaipa. Since the turn of the century those two are considered among the top-5 prep baseball programs in San Bernardino County. For Yucaipa, that reputation goes back a lot further. When they play each other, the overall skill level is magnified in impressive fashion.

In the Yucaipa/REV game there was not an error committed and only a combined seven batters struck out, meaning the fielder's had to make plays and there were plenty. A glance at major leagues box scores that day didn't show many errorless games and per capita, the REV vs. YHS game was played at a professional level.

Within a few hours of the Yucaipa vs. REV game, anyone in America could search the Maxpreps high school statistical website and read a nearly complete outline of the game, including a box score. Yucaipa took advantage of the "Player of the Game" feature on Maxpreps and posted a picture of Jordan AlNemri. By the next morning, both teams had current individual stats posted on Maxpreps. Also, the next morning both teams made sure there was a brief line about the game in the local daily newspapers.

"For a coach not to post his stats because he wants to hide them from the opposition is a cop out," said REV coach James Cordes. "It's an individual mind set according to the coach, but scouts use those sites to

get an idea about someone. Today, Yucaipa already knew about our pitcher (David Barela) and we knew about there's (Joey Chapman). You still have to execute."

Cordes added that the big leagues post stats daily.

Yucaipa coach Jeff Stout feels that most high school teams do publish their stats on Maxpreps. "Why hide anything. We're not posting the stats to promote the players. We're doing it primarily for the media. If you can't catch the game, it's there on Maxpreps," said Stout. "You should post the stats for the public."

A further survey of Maxpreps baseball sites shows that about 85% of schools do post some stats. However, none post complete stats as fast as they could. Sometimes taking two or three days to post a box score. While the REV/Yucaipa game was available almost immediately, less then half of the schools provide Maxpreps with a completed game summary. Even fewer "call the game in" to local newspapers. It is considered the home team's responsibility to call the game in. San Gorgonio High baseball coach Bill Eatinger is another

whose success is directly associated with his attention to clerical detail.

In baseball, statistics are very important. But to accumulate stats, you first have to hit and pitch. "Of course, you have to have good players and we get those players after they have been taught by the Redlands Baseball for Youth (RBY) program," said Cordes.

"We've also had great assistant coaches who are grown men dedicated to the program. Cordes has guided REV into the playoffs all six seasons as the Wildcats coach after taking over for highly successful Steve Hernandez.

Likewise, Stout has a skilled coaching staff who've been with him for 20 years. In his 37 years at Yucaipa, Stout has won 740 games, good for fifth all-time among California high school coaches. Yucaipa and REV have combined to produce more than 30 professional players and hundreds of college players. They combined to have nine players in Major League Baseball camps this Spring.

a population of 500,000 with as many as 30,000 homeless children.

The highlight of the book is about Alton Lou Clemens. His name was later changed to Lee Clemens Nailling. Born in 1918, he died in 2001 at the age of 83. His mother died when Lee was seven years old.

Lee had three older siblings and three younger ones.

When the Orphan Trains came to town the children were lined up and the prospective parents-usually farmers-would check them out.

After several days of rejection, Lee was finally chosen. The couple was very stern. The farmer showed Lee the chicken coop and informed him about letting the chicks out.

The next morning Lee thought he would help by letting them out. The chicks all died by drowning in the heavy dew. The farmer was furious and sent him back to the train.

Life changed for Lee when the Naillings chose him. At the first meal the couple prayed before eating. They thanked God for Lee and asked His blessing on him. The next day they took him to town for new clothes and a haircut.

On the way they introduced him to everyone they met and introduced him as their new son.

He was for the first time, happy.

After high school he worked on the farm and the store the Naillings owned. He joined the Army and was sent to Europe. Brothers Leo

and Gerald also joined up. Gerald was killed when captured by the Japanese.

Alton Clemens was adopted and his name was changed to Lee Clemons Nailling. After Business College he was married to Novelle in 1939. They had two children. At the death of Ben and Ollie Naillings, he became a food manager, became active in church and active in several organizations. He was chosen Man of the Year for the many ways he had helped his town.

Then in 1984 when Lee was 67, a great event happened. After a story about him appeared in a paper, a man wrote Lee that his older brother Ross, whom he had not seen for 60 years lived in Florida.

He also sent a phone number. Lee immediately called him.

What a reunion of their families of the original ones. They met on Memorial Day, 1984. Lee never met his father again. Sister Evelyn and brothers Fred and George were gone. But Lee, Ross, Leo and George were still alive.

Lee described his life in this way.

“When I got off that train in Texas, I was a bitterly unhappy little boy with a heart full of grief. The good Lord saw to it that I ended up with the Naillings. That was where I belonged.”

Amen. Selah. So be it.

Kudos: There are many neighborhood and community groups that are discussing and taking action to improve San Bernardino. All the discussions and projects are worthwhile and are needed to promote positive change. As a native and resident of the city I am encouraged although I know it will take time and much work by all of us. I remain positive and tolerant because many projects will be proposed and some will be riskier than others.

One of the first steps is to take a close look at the city charter. A nine member committee has been appointed by the mayor and council to review and make recommendations for changes. The committee includes: Casey Dailey, Dennis Baxter, Gary Wabourne, Hillel Cohn, Hardy Brown, Phil Savage, Michael Craft, Tom Pierce, and Dan Carlone. Working with the committee are consultants Dr. Bill Mathis, City Attorney Gary Saenz and City Clerk Gigi Hanna. This hard working group has a very short timeline and I wish them well.

Community Service: The Whitney M. Young Jr. service Award presented by the Boys Scouts of America, California Inland Empire Council went to Bill Howe of Riverside and Jack Hill of San Bernardino. Both men have been involved with scouting as youths and are very successful in their respective careers. Both men are active in their communities and are giving of their time and resources and live their lives by the motto, "Do a Good Deed Daily."

Transitions: Dr. Mildred Dalton HamptonHenry is retiring. This community activist, founder of the Provisional Accelerated Learning (PAL) Center in San Bernardino's Westside, is a long time advocate for students and their success. She has had an outstanding career in higher education.

She was honored with an elementary school in San Bernardino named in her honor. We wish her well.

What happened early March 23 at 5500 N. Osborne Court in San Bernardino was inevitable. Within the past seven years, subsequent to the downturn of the housing market, there has been an ever-increasing number of single-family homes in the Cal State San Bernardino area being purchased by absentee landlords and rented to groups of students (some belonging to fraternities and sororities).

Most of these absentee landlords do not care about our neighborhoods or the community, since they live elsewhere. Their only concern is whether or not they get their rent check on time every month. They are unconcerned about the illegal drug use, illegal drug sales, underage drinking, parties, loud noise, beer bottles (bro-

s Samuel Moreno, 17, received his coronation as San Bernardino High School’s Mr. Cardinal on Saturday April 5, he ushered in a new era of student participation and community service.

“A lot of work has been spent organizing for this event,” Moreno said. “We have all put in a lot of hours of community service and a lot of our lives have been changed because of this experience. I’m overwhelmed with joy.”

Moreno, a junior, who is involved with the Renaissance club on campus and is a member of the Cross Country and Track and Field teams, aims to give everything he has to improving the conditions of both “Cardinal City” and the city of San Bernardino. “I promise to provide as much effort as possible to improving both the lives of students and the lives of our residents.”

And despite finishing runner up, junior Rosalio Cruz also expressed his dedication in improving community conditions.

“This whole experience has been eye-opening,” said Cruz. “All the things we have done have been a lot of fun. I’m glad that I will be able to continue this experience through my senior year. I think it will help me grow as a person.”

For many of these young men, it has been the first time they have participated in community service.

On March 21, the Mr. Cardinal participants helped serve food and packed lunches at The Way World Outreach’s location on Arrowhead Avenue, adding to the 25 hours of community service they compiled beforehand.

“Mr. Cardinal spreads good will and shows the community the caliber of students attending San Bernardino High,” pageant coordinator Jamie Rios said through a San Bernardino City Unified School District Press Release.

“And, every Mr. Cardinal gains

valuable experience and gives back to his school and community.”

As the eleventh annual Mr. Cardinal Pageant came to a close, the outgoing Mr. Cardinal David Skidmore expressed to the crowd at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts just how significant the title is to him and the young men who participated in the pageant.

“For those of you who don’t understand what Mr. Cardinal is, it’s the time where you can take the opportunity to be an ambassador for San Bernardino High School and San Bernardino City,” he said.

“I was able to take the time to understand the problems of our residents and also understand their joys. Service gives us the opportunity to reach into other people’s lives and find a way to help. It takes the focus of off ourselves and puts it onto helping others. Mr. Cardinal in no way is an easy program to go through,” Skidmore went on, “But I am grateful for the experience and grateful that it has made me into a great leader.”

Sunday

vast amount of United States servicemen and veterans took part in the 30th Annual Redlands Bicycle Classic from April 3 through the 6.

Among those participating was Team Semper Fi, a sports program that consists of more than 700 service members who have overcome significant challenges in their service to their country. The program provides rehabilitative services focused on athletics, and is an extension of the assistance the organization provides. The team is made up of servicemen and women who embrace the fighting, athletic spirit on their road to recovery.

This was the team’s first time participating in the historic cycling event.

“Our Team was very impressed with the welcome they received from Big Bear Village, Beaumont and Redlands,” said Paul Fitzgerald. “We really enjoyed the event.”

The team performed relatively well throughout the competition. At the Time Trial in Big Bear Lake on April 3, their ten participants combined for three Gold Medals, one Silver Medal, two Bronze Medals, three Top 5 finishes and one Top 10 finish. The following day on April 4 in Beaumont, the team earned three Gold Medals, one Silver Medal, two Bronze Medals, one Top 5 finish and one Top 10 finish.

T

On April 5, Team Semper Fi wrapped up the competition with its participation in the Criterium for hand cycles.

And although many of the Semper Fi athletes that participated in the Redlands Bicycle Classic hail from other parts of the country and train at their respective training centers, they feel they have a closely knit relationship despite hardly seeing one another.

“We have people everywhere doing their own training, with their own teams,” said Jeremy Medina, 30, who is from Carlsbad. “We all then get together, team up and participate in different athletic events.

Everyone has the same mentality which is to ‘never give and keep going’. It’s really cool.”

“Even though we don’t train together as a team, it feels like we have been together for years,” said Gabriel Gonzalez, 26, from Miami,

Florida. “We have the brotherhood mentality.”

Another thing that served as a memorable experience for the athletes was participating alongside professional cyclists. “ They also believe that participation and community turnout for the event will grow moving forward.

Tim Brown, a paracyclist athlete from Washington D.C., said that the more men and women you can get involved in cycling or athletic events, the better it will be for their rehabilitation.

“It’s crucial for injured veterans to stay in shape,” said Brown. “The better shape you are in, the better your body will heal, especially for those who deal with prosthetic legs.

The more we get guys like that, the better it will be.”

Cajon takes advantage of Redlands miscues

Billingsley rehabs as Quakes fall to Giants

ome timely defense and base running for Cajon in the seventh inning resulted in a 3-2 walk-off win over Redlands during Citrus Belt League action on Friday, April 4.

It looked like it may Natalie Alas was at the plate for Cajon with two outs and teammate Monica Maddox running at first base in the home half of the seventh.

Redlands pitcher Skie Munoz got Alas to hit what looked like a routine pop fly, but ended up being dropped by third baseman Halle Rosario.

It was a hustle play for Alas, the junior ran aggressively and forced a throw to second, allowing Maddox to score uncontested from third to secure the win.

“That was the game,” Cajon Head Coach Lee Haines said of Alas effort on the play. “That’s

what I have been preaching to them. When I took over, they would pop up like that and not run, but today is the first time I think we really hung together, because it looked bad.

The half inning before it appeared the Terriers had the Cowgirls on the ropes with runners at first and second with one out.

Gabby Martinez was batting and already had two hits on the day, but Cajon pitcher Taryn Rahier induced an inning ending doubleplay to end the threat.

Rahier allowed two earned runs on nine hits and two walks over seven innings to earn the win.

Munoz took the loss despite a strong performance for Redlands, striking out 12 and allowing one earned run on three hits and five walks.

The game was scoreless until the Cajon fifth when Alas doubled home Jeanette Ponce and scored on a passed ball two batters later to make it 2-0.

The Terriers answered in the top of the sixth as Martinez and Munoz singled and doubled to open the inning. Monica Pasillas singled home Martinez and Munoz advanced to third. Rosario followed with a sac-fly that tied it up 2-2.

The situation got tense when Rahier issued a walk to put two on, but after failed attempts by Redlands to move the runners over, Pasillas got doubled off at second

after a fly out to right field.

"She (Rahier) has pitched almost every inning of every game for us,” said Haines of Rahier’s performance in tight spots. “Were going to live and die with her right now.”

Redlands pitcher Skie Munoz struck out 12 while allowing three runs, one earned, in the loss to Cajon.

os Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley began his return from Tommy John surgery with a rehab start for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes during a 3-1 California League loss to the San Jose Giants on Sunday, April 6.

Billingsley, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since April 15 of last year, recorded an easy 1-2-3 first inning with a strikeout.

He returned for the second inning and left after 10 more pitches due to a pitch count, retiring one while allowing a hit and walk.

Billingsley is scheduled to make four more minor league starts during his rehabilitation with the expectation that he will be able to rejoin the big league club in May. Rob Rogers came in on relief for the Quakes, allowing a single to load the bases which was followed with an error by third baseman Steven Proscia that the Giants took advantage of to get on the board and tie it 1-1.

Rogers induced a force out on the next batter, but it was enough to get a second run across a give San Jose the 2-1 lead.

Tom Windle replaced Rogers in the fourth and a pair of singles by the Giants led to an insurance run and a 3-1 deficit for the Quakes.

Rancho Cucamonga struck early in its first at-bat. Jeremy Rathjen was hit by a pitch with one out and Corey Searger singled to left to put runners on second and third with one out. Proscia was the ensuing batter and grounded out to short, scoring Rathjen in the process.

The Quakes offense stranded the bases loaded in the second and mustered just three more base runners the rest of the game.

Rancho Cucamonga hosts Inland Empire for a three-game set starting on April 7, before heading to Modesto for four games to finish out the week.

Students, community honor memory of Dr. King with a community health fair

By Cynthia Mendoza

n a slightly unconventional but significant twist to honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., on Saturday, April 5 Dr. Martin Luther King Junior (MLK) hosted a community health fair and celebration in honor of the 46th anniversary of its namesake’s assassination on April 4, 1968.

Most MLK celebrations are hosted in January in honor of his birthday.

The inaugural Day of King celebration came about out of a desire to teach students about the iconic civil rights their school is named after as well as to bring the San Bernardino and Highland communities together for a day of camaraderie, music, food and sunshine.

“Our goal is to bring meaning and understanding to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” said Principal Maria Juaregui “This celebration represents Dr. King’s vision and what he wanted for the community and the world we live in.”

The very first ideas for hosting something to teach kids about Dr. King came about from members of the MLK statue restoration community, the group that raised $14,000 to restore the King statue that graces the courtyard at San Bernardino City Hall.

“A lot of people don’t know the statue exists,” said Dr. Margaret Hill, retired educator, MLK statue restoration committee member and current San Bernardino City Unified School District Board member about the statue. “We wanted to do something to bring people here, especially youth.”

Hill added that especially for youth, the only thing they really know about Dr. King is his famous “I Have A Dream” speech but little else about his life or work.

Ideas for having an event began with Hill chatting with her sorority sister Shinay Bowman, a specialist with the San Bernardino City Unified School District. Original plans included doing something near the statue itself but one conversation about the idea led to another and then with others in the district; the end result was a community wide health fair at Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.

Students from Anton Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, Arrowview Middle, King Middle, Richardson Prep and San Bernardino High put on musical performances.

The keynote address was given

by Donzaleigh Abernathy, daughter of the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, who co-founded the civil-rights movement with close friend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There were also about 25 vendors from various agencies and organizations on hand providing valuable information on community resources.

Participants also enjoyed a tomato planting demonstration, a parent who owns a pizza eatery provided food for the vendors, Community Action Partnership provided water and Stater Bros. provided free hotdogs for all attendees.

And not to lose sight of the ultimate purpose of the day, which was to highlight the life and work of Dr. King, first, there was also a student essay contest for which first, second and third prize awards were given out.

“It was a grand time,” said Hill about the event. “It was a beautiful day. It was festive, there was food, music, games and it was non violent. There were over 500 people and I didn’t hear one cuss word.”

Hill also praised the student volunteers from Cajon High and MLK Middle School for doing a great job in keeping the event running smoothly.

“This inaugural event was an example of what Dr. King’s legacy is about; bringing people together and fighting against racial disparities,” said Mars Serna, Family Resource Officer for the San Bernardino City Unified School District, who served as one of the masters of ceremony along with Terrance Stone of Young Visionaries. “It was about serving others and making a positive impact.”

500th Liver Transplant Patient at Loma Linda University Medical Center gets ready to go home “I am very happy to have received a liver and I look forward to being home again,” said Munoz, a farmworker. “My wish is to go back home and be able to spend time with my children.”

A lifetime of alcohol use, starting when he was a teen, and a diagnosis of Hepatitis C, is blamed for the deterioration of Munoz’s liver. He had stopped drinking alcohol and has been sober for a while now, but a toll had already been taken on his liver.

“If I had known how much suffering I would have because of alcohol, I never would have started,” he said. Munoz had been on a liver transplant list, and received a liver transplant on March 1, after being taken to the hospital in very serious condition. He was on life support and in a coma for weeks.

“He would not have made it

rancisco Munoz was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center several weeks ago barely clinging to life and in dire need of a liver transplant. Today, the 52-year-old Coachella resident is undergoing rehabilitation and preparing to go home, after becoming the 500th patient to receive a liver transplant at the world-renowned medical center.

otherwise,” said Dr. Michael de Vera, his liver transplant surgeon and director of the Loma Linda University Medical Center Transplantation Institute.

Munoz’s survival and positive health outlook is testament to the quality of patient care he received and the commitment of the medical staff at the hospital, Dr. de Vera said.

“It truly is teamwork -- a multidisciplinary team effort on the part of the different professionals and departments within the hospital,” Dr. de Vera said. He said the first liver transplant at the hospital was done in 1993, and the program has since matured and improved over the years.

Munoz, who is undergoing rehabilitation from the transplant, hopes to return home to his three children this week (tentatively April 8).

County honors National Crime Victims’ Rights Week

By Cynthia Mendoza

ike many other agencies nationwide, on Monday, April 7, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office honored National Crime Victims’ Rights Week with a special memorial at the San Bernardino County Government Center.

According to their website, every April the Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) helps lead communities throughout the country in their annual observances of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) by promoting victims’ rights and honoring crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf. This year’s theme is "30 Years: Restoring the Balance of Justice,” a celebration of three decades of progress made on behalf of millions of victims since the passage of the Victims of Crime Act. A few quick facts about victim rights efforts in San Bernardino County: · In 2013, the Bureau of Victim Services served 10,575 victims. · In the fiscal year 2012-13, the Bureau of Victim Services Claims Unit processed 3,690 claims and over $3.1 million dollars was paid out on behalf of victims. · In 2013, the Bureau of Victim Services Restitution Unit secured $829,833 in restitution and fine orders for the Victim Compensation Program.

“As prosecutors, fighting for victims is our passion every day of the year,” said San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael Ramos about this event. “But this day is an important time for all of us to come together and raise awareness in support of victims’ rights. We need to show the families who have lost loved ones that we care and that we realize their pain is something that lasts an eternity.”

The event at the government center drew a diverse audience from the community, including law enforcement officials, various county departments and of course, families whose lives have been tragically altered forever by violent crime.

“As a victim of violent crime, I went into the whole court process not knowing what my rights were and that I even had any,” said violent crime survivor Glenda Brooks about her experience. “I was fortunate enough to be set up with a wonderful group of advocates who were there for me every step of the way, from waking up in the hospital to the sentencing day in court and even beyond that.”

Brooks added that without the advocates she would have been lost and would have never known of her rights as a victim.

“To be able to have a voice and a say-so throughout the court process is a must-have in order to have a satisfactory court experience,” she said. “Every victim deserves these rights.”

Marilyn Van Kleef, mother of Jason Van Leef who was murdered in 2001 for refusing to join a gang, also expressed her thoughts on what it means to have the support and help of agencies like the DA’s office when someone in their family is victimized.

“When a loved one is notified that something extremely terrible has happened to their loved one they don't know where or who to turn to,” she said. “It's important that

everyone in the District Attorney's office is approachable and accessible to them.”

Van Kleef went on to say that while this week does bring up very painful memories, it also makes her feel good to know that people remember and that they really do care.

Monday’s event included several special features.

The Redlands East Valley Choir, under the direction of Rita Stevens, performed three beautiful tribute songs in honor of the county’s crime victims.

The District Attorney’s Office also presented the Award for Ex- PHOTOS COURTESY/SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE emplary Service to Victims of Crime to the Physicians of the On Monday, April 7, during the National Crime Victims’ Rights Children’s Assessment Center.

The center’s needs have increased dra- larger facility located in San to treat 1,600 physically and/or matically and are relocating to a Bernardino. The Center is on track sexually abused children this year.”

(childrensfundonline.org) Fallen law enforcement officers were also honored with a special bagpipe tribute that took place next to the poignant “Officer Down” bronze statue memorial in the lobby of the government center.

Sheriff John McMahon, Russell Perry, son of Deacon Phil Perry, who was shot to death in 1992 and Bishop Gerald Barnes also offered their own words of support for victims of violent crimes and their families.

"Monday’s memorial was a tremendous success that focused on victims and families of victims,” said Ramos. “I look forward to continuing to honor the memories of those we lost for years to come."

Inmates work to refurbish wheelchairs for Wheels for the World.

Recipients usually receive the refurbished products within four to six months, added Burkhart.

“There are about 100-200 hands that touch these wheelchairs before they get to their recipients,” said Burkhart. “It really is a big effort.”

While the collection is planned for Saturday, efforts continue throughout the year and donations are accepted at the church year round.
