he mental and social development of a child does not begin in the classroom. It starts in the home through the guidance of parents, according to artist Simon Silva.

“Those parents were about the best group I’ve worked with,” Silva said. “The stuff they produced was not cute; it was work that one could take to a museum and put on display. The experience definitely blew me away.

We need to prove to them that they are intelligent and creative.

They are the starting point--the foundation--for their children.”

According to the school’s SARC from that school year, the dropout rate was 9.3-percent (compared to Colton Joint Unified School District’s average of 12.5-percent), whereas the graduation rate was 82.6-percent (compared to the district’s 77.8percent). The number of students suspended or expelled in 2013-14 was 85, contributing to the district’s overall number of 1,085.

The last time the California Department of Education’s Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) exam was provided during the 2012-13 school year, the percentage of students performing at proficient or advanced levels was 30-percent-a five percent increase from the previous year.

Dr. Luis Gonzalez, Colton City councilman and World History teacher at Colton High School, believes improvements in this year’s report may come down to fostering critical thinking.

Gonzales said he is a devotee of the Socratic method of teaching-the form of inquiry and discussion between individuals that is based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and bring forth ideas.

Since the passage of Proposition 98 in 1988, the state has provided parents and the community with important information about each public school. A SARC can be an effective way for a school to report on its progress in achieving goals.

The Cradle to Career Roadmap is part of the Countywide Vision for the future and is designed to support success for all students from birth through early adulthood.

Adopted in 2013 by the Countywide Vision Education Element Group, the plan is a collective impact model designed to ensure that every student has the mindset and disposition for college and career readiness.

“I am so proud of the City of Grand Terrace for taking this important step in endorsing the Cradle to Career Roadmap,” Colton Superintendent Jerry Almendarez said. “This formal validation of our county’s educational mission sends a clear and positive message that our local leaders truly care about the future of their community and are willing to do what they can to support their youngest constituents.”

“I can’t imagine anything more powerful in this area than all of these groups coming together with that goal (of promoting student success) in mind,” McNaboe said.

Busy weekend: In spite of fighting a miserable cold (is there another kind?) I was able to attend two functions Saturday. The Cultural Planning Workshop was excellent. Thank you Arts Connection and facilitator Miguel Angel Vasquez for an interactive experience that produced dialogue and the opportunity to create an artistic and cultural space from everyday materials. There was networking between interested artists, activists and nonprofits for possible grants. What did I learn? I learned to look for the potential of every space and person.

I also attended a membership gathering of the San Bernardino area League of Women Voters where the discussion was voter education and how to encourage citizens to vote. More details on their campaign to come later.

Veterans and the Arts: A San Bernardino County wide multifaceted art project starts in February entitled Plant to Paper Project. From February to May veterans, active-duty military and their families, along with the community at large will begin with hikes to pull invasive plants, followed by paper-making, 2D and 3D art and writing workshops, culminating in a formal art exhibition and spoken word performance at the end of May. The public can participate in one or all of the free planned events or just attend the final exhibition on May 27. For information and specific locations c o n t a c t : miltreecommunity@gmail.com This is a collaborative project spearheaded by the county's Arts Connection and Mil-tree with sponsorship from the California Arts Council. Additional partners include Mojave Desert Land Trust, Joshua Tree National Park, Copper Mountain College, KVCR Radio, Free Joshua Park and the 29 Palms Arts Gallery. This is an excellent opportunity to explore the different facets of our large county while learning about art and provide a needed service to our environment.

Not being so neighborly

W

hen you think of political power at play, you don’t have to look much farther than San Bernardino. Whether it is in city politics, or at a community-service entity, examples abound.

A case in point is at a Westside and longtime institution: San Bernardino’s Home of Neighborly Service (HNS).

Apparently, a recent fracas caused two of the organization’s three Board members--Joseph Martinez and Robert Rego--to develop a splinter Board as a way of attempting to wrestle power from the current board president Jerry Martin.

If it is true that ‘a house divided cannot stand’, then whether it be for possible monetary gain, fund mismanagement, or perhaps other histrionic reasons, how can the Board--as it currently composed-lead an organization that has been in place for nearly a 100 years to serve people?

Supposedly, the only services the HNS is able to provide (and for the first time since October 2015) is weekly food bags for the public. This is a welcomed service particularly during the harsh winter season. But this is a far cry from the goods the community center had long been able to provide: art and dancing classes, child care services, educational classes, legal services, and the like.

Further investigation will hopefully lead to the problems and people who plague the functional operation of a vital city entity. The problem I have is that it seems that those who run the Organization have something to hide.

Earlier this month when I encountered an informal community meeting the Board was having

with a few city residents, the tone changed almost immediately.

Martinez and Rego, who were present seemed to stop talking when they noticed I had arrived.

Residents began complaining to me afterward that it seemed as if the two board members were not taking their concerns seriously, and that it was unfair that Rego and Martinez had locked up the gates and disrespected the center’s previous Director Sonia Fischer.

It is a journalist’s responsibility to feasibly attempt to always get both sides of the story. Yet what am I supposed to do when socalled responsible leaders don’t want to talk?

To be fair, the two told me to get in touch with the firm representing the HNS. I received a return call from James Penman. Penman, who was ousted in a 2014 recall election after serving as City Attorney for 27 years, said he represented the HNS and not any particular individual. He provided me with his basic understanding of the current situation but could not answer the more pertinent questions.

Which leads me back to the Board. If the board members would stop avoiding me, I could ask why they decided to fracture the Board. Is it their intent to make a power grab? And if so, for what purpose? What was the reason they locked the gates? Why is the HNS unable to provide the necessary services it once did?

Why was the former Executive Director ousted? Is it true that they do not take citizen concerns seriously? What is the future for this long-time and revered institution?

While many questions remain unanswered, a few things are clear: The people are paying the price here. They are the ones losing out. They are not able to receive the services they so desperately need. And for what reasons? I’d like to give the Board the benefit of the doubt, but it is hard to do that when they avoid me like the plague.

It seems, that for the time being at least, supposedly competent officials are being a little less than neighborly in the discharge of their duties and in the responsibility of being transparent--part of which involves giving serious answer to journalistic inquiry. And for the future of a beloved institution and for the people it has served for many years, that’s sad.

Frankly it’s just an example and a microcosm of what has rapidly become San Bernardino’s modus operandi.

Am I too old to have a hero?

Bessine Littlefield-Richard

I will readily admit, I will soon be 47 years old. I also readily admit that while growing up I never believed in having fictitious heroes. Instead, I chose real people who were true to their disposition and who greatly contributed to our Unique American Society.

I referred to these people as my special mentors. Thus I read autobiographies and other books on the lives and accomplishments of four great men: Thurgood Marshall (United States Supreme Court’s 96th justice and its first African-American justice), President Ronald Reagan (American politician and actor, who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989.), Reginald Lewis (Richest Black Man in the 1980’s) and Marcus Garvey (Jamaican political leader, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator). Later during law school I adopted another special mentor, Clarence Thomas-who was the only one of my special mentors I actually met conversed.

As a veteran, it is especially meaningful that San Bernardino County met its goal of finding housing for hundreds of homeless military veterans within our county. In less than six months, the 401 veterans originally identified by the County as homeless now have permanent housing. In addition, more than 100 veterans who became homeless or moved into the county were also assisted in finding housing. The county’s goal was not only met, it was exceeded. What has been accomplished in San Bernardino County is life changing for our heroes.

It is appalling to know that any hero who has sacrificed so much

Words to Think About: Role-Reversal

S

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

eniors are very vulnerable to certain illnesses. Pneumonia, cancer, heart attacks, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, among others. Medical research places the cause of many of their illnesses, at their weakening immune system.

The human immune system is weakest when we are children; when we are elderly; and when we are under stress.

That is why children need to have their shots. The elderly need shots,

good food and plenty of rest.

Everyone needs to manage stress in creative ways.

The standard Holmes/Rehe stress test indicates the number one stressor is the loss of a loved one. Second is divorce and third is the aging process.

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of a subtle, insidious and debilitating cause of Senior stress. ROLE-REVERSAL. I became aware of the problem of role-reversal a few years ago while visiting a museum in Bozeman , Montana . While waiting for a movie on dinosaurs to start, an elderly couple and obviously their daughter sat on a bench beside me.

The daughter got up and with a dominate tone advised her parents to stay where they were. She was going shopping but would be back.

“Stay right here. Don’t leave,” she said as if they were children. As soon as she left, they took off.

Role-reversal.

I witnessed the same situation and dynamics a few weeks ago in the Inland Center Mall. Two senior parents and a 40 year old son.

He demanded obedience to “stay put.” When he left them, they disappeared in the opposite direction.

Role-reversal is children assuming the role of parents while parents become the obeying children or child. Parents are told what to wear, eat and where and when they go.

A senior friend told me recently, children also tend to control what their parents think –on a variety of subjects from religion to politics.

Control and independence are the dominant issues. The children feel obligated to watch over their parents by controlling what they do.

Parents are reluctant to yield their independence. In spite of diminishing physical skills.

Of course, there will come a time when the parent or parents need the care and “watching over” that only children can give. Until then, role-reversal is too often a bossy trend.

The same principle can also occur between a husband and wife.

Because of illness or other negative circumstance, a wife may take control of their lives. Driving, paying bills, shopping and planning activities. It can lead to depression, unhappiness, a feeling of being trapped, resentment and alienation.

A therapist I know would often counsel the offender (privately)

This Black History Month celebration will include activities, performances, a behavioral health focused resource fair and presentations from San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Commissioners, Dr. Monica Wilson, Assistant Professor at the College of Letters and Sciences in the Psychology Department of National University, and Dr. Akin Merino, Chair of the Masters in Counseling and Doctorate Program at Argosy University.

“DBH’s Office of Cultural Competence and Ethnic Services participates and hosts cul-

tural events like these in an effort to increase behavioral health awareness and promote the importance of culture in our overall wellness,” said Imo Momoh, DBH’S Cultural Competency Officer. “We invite members of the community, from every culture, to attend and participate in this event as an opportunity to connect with others, celebrate diversity and learn more about the important connection between culture and behavioral health.”

with words: “remember, your turn is coming,” and it will.

There is another type of role - reversal that involves only one person. A unique study has been made describing the behavior of those that have had major changes in their lives that contributed to a life change. The article was called, “The Most Obnoxious People.”

There are four kinds of people.

All have gone through a drastic behavior change; going into a different direction; AND becoming actively judgmental toward othersobnoxiously so.

The first person was a REFORMED PROSTITUTE. She becomes pious, self-righteous and gloats over those who remain in the business. From sinner to saint.

From unholy to holy. A definite role-reversal.

Certainly such a change is worthy of commendation. Such a life story is often good for a bestselling book or at least an article.

The second person that is often obnoxious is a REFORMED ALCOHOLIC. The third is similar. A REFORMED SMOKER. Both are drugs and habit forming. Quitting either one is a monumental achievement. Even though getting

on the wagon and stopping smoking is very praise worthy, the attitudes often reflected is too often one of superiority. Obnoxious is the result.

But the fourth one is the most obnoxious. A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN. They are challenged to testify to their new birth. Lording it over the non-Christian is offensive. It also borders on hypocrisy. Obviously all four are participants in a role-reversal.

Don’t confuse this kind of rolereversal with the psycho-dramatic technique that is often used in counseling situations.

The therapist will reverse the relationships. For example, the parent will act like the child and the child will voice the attitudes of the parent.

Another example is used when conflicts exist between husband and wife. The wife will act like and give voice to the husband’s behavior. And he, in turn, will act and give voice to the wife’s actions.

Hopefully, the result will lead to a better understanding and tolerance between the couple and harmony in the marriage.

Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital Foundation hopes to Illuminate guests at 23rd annual gala

L

By Yazmin Alvarez

oma Linda University Children’s Hospital Foundation is hoping to light the path of success toward its Vision 2020 campaign in building a new hospital with its upcoming gala — “Illuminate: The Path to Vision 2020,” — Feb. 11.

Marking its 23rd year, the annual event will be held at the Riverside Convention Center, 3637 5th St., and will highlight the vision of the future for the Children’s Hospital and most importantly, the heartwarming success stories of patients, said Jillian Payne, the foundation’s executive director.

“The gala is a moment that we get every year to bring the story of our patients directly to the community.

Each year, the stories we share are incredible and speak right from the walls of our hospital and into the hearts of others. It’s through this event that the community has the opportunity to illuminate the lives of our children and make a difference.”

This year’s gala kicks-off at 5 p.m. with the Illuminarium hour, where a visual masterpiece of light will be created to start the event’s silent auction. The event program, which begins at 7 p.m., will include a surprise opening act as well as a performance from the Silhouettes, who earned worldwide acclaim on “America’s Got Talent.”

To enlighten appetites, Chef Robert Irvine will be this year’s special guest for the evening hosting a first-ever culinary experience.

He’ll also be lending a helping hand during the live auction portion of the evening where guests can bid on everything from an 7night South African adventurous Ezulwini Safari to a fun-loving puppy, said Payne.

Popular vehicle facing bans amid safety concerns

ne can see this device in almost every public square. The Hoverboard allows people to travel from one place to the other without having to put their feet on ground.

Whereas some believe the Hoverboards are the wave of the future, others, such as commercial entities and educational institutions are taking measures to pre-

vent their sale and usage.

The self-powered scooters have been removed from online stores such as Amazon, and now university campuses are beginning to institute bans on their use. Cal State San Bernardino initiated its ban on the device on Jan. 12. It includes the handling and storage of the boards in any campus venue, according to an e-mail distributed to the student body.

“The safety of our faculty, staff

and students must always be our highest priority,” campus president Dr. Tomas Morales said in the statement. “It’s regrettable that we need to take this action, but it is far worse if someone is needlessly injured. As this technology improves and develops a better record of safety, trust that we will revisit this issue.”

The popular wheeled device became a craze late last year--primarily during the holiday season.

who represent our needs and values.”

Some 170 Latino community, political, business, educational, student, and labor leaders from throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties as well as from Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Imperial counties and Bakersfield are expected to be in attendance.

The Summit’s purpose is to “kick-off” an unprecedented statewide, perhaps even national, grassroots Latino voter mobilization that could be pivotal in determining the candidate who will be elected president of the United States. A strategic plan of action to ensure that Latinos are a decisive “swing vote,” will be presented, debated, and adopted that evening.

According, to Summit organizer Dr. Navarro, “This event is truly unparalleled. Nowhere in the country is such a grassroots organizing process taking place. Strategically, it could foster a mobilization contagion that could spread throughout California--nationwide where ever Latinos reside--prior to the June California primary.”

Navarro added, “The Summit’s goal is to jump-start a movement that can foster the greatest Latino voter mobilization in the country’s political history.”

The Latino “swing-vote capacity” is factual. Nationwide Latinos in 2016 number 58 million, com-

prising nearly 18 percent of the country’s population. Latinos registered to vote by November will number 16.8 million. The present total number of Latino eligible voters is 28.3 million, and Latinos comprise 13 percent of the nation’s electorate.

The Latino vote is pivotal to who wins the Democrat presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders and to who wins the presidency in November.

Latinos’ claim to being the “balance of power” in November is supported by their large numbers of registered voters in the following states, some of which are “swing states” -- California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Florida, among several other states.

As to the Summit’s program, it will commence with the official welcome delivered by Inland Empire LULAC Chairperson George Aguilar. The Summit will be cochaired by 56th Assembly District, Democrat Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia, and 61st Assembly District, Democrat Assemblyman Jose Medina, both from Riverside County.

UCR political scientist, Dr. Armando Navarro, summit organizer, will follow with the Summit’s mission statement. He will address three major political themes: (1) Importance of the Latino vote for California’s June Primary and the November Presi-

A Hoverboard was bought every twelve seconds from eBay on Cyber Monday, according to a Jan. 21 story published by Fortune Magazine. A board costs anywhere from $200 to $700.

However, the device is proving to be more of a hazard than a luxury to consumers, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The agency reported on Jan. 20 that they are looking into 28 incidents in 19 states related to the motorized device, many of which involve fires.

CPSC believes the danger stems from the lithium-ion batteries that power the boards.

On Tuesday night a hoverboard was the cause of a house fire in Petaluma. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the homeowner told authorities and reporters that his daughter’s Mini Smart Self Balancing 2 Wheel Electric Scooter was charging in a room downstairs when he heard an explosion. “He ran downstairs to find the device “actively burning and continuing to explode, sending embers and portions of the hoverboard throughout the bedroom and hallway of the residence,” Petaluma Fire spokesperson Mike Medeiros said. The incident comes less than a week after the Chronicle reported on a Santa Rosa house fire that killed two dogs. Investigators are still determining whether a model A3 Original plugged into the wall socket of a bedroom was the cause of the tragedy.

“Many of these fires occurred in-

doors and could have resulted in serious injuries if not for the quick actions of consumers to extinguish the fire,” CPSC said in a press statement. “This is a priority investigation and CPSC is devoting the staff time and resources necessary to find the root causes of the fires.”

At least 20 universities have banned or restricted hoverboards on their campuses in recent weeks, saying the two-wheeled, motorized scooters are unsafe. Besides Cal State San Bernardino’s ban, area school districts, such as Colton Joint and San Bernardino City Unified have labeled the wheeled device as a safety risk.

Other institutions have not enacted directives on hover board use. According to San Bernardino Valley College Paul Bratulin there is currently no college or district policy on hoverboards.

“We haven’t had an issue come up,” Bratulin said on Tuesday.

UC Riverside senior student George Payne, 22, said the device is very difficult to use and is a nuisance when used around student housing areas. The political science student believes the university should institute a ban until there is at least a designated area for all vehicles (bicycles, skateboards, and scooters included).

“I noticed a girl using the board to move 50 feet, from the laundry room over to the building,” he said. “It’s ridiculous. Not to mention it that riding them is very difficult. During a test run, I nearly hurt my leg. The school should designate an runway for wheels.”

dential Elections; (2) Potential Latino Swing Vote Capability; and (3) The severe consequences Latinos will likely face should they not mobilize their voting power for the November elections.

Surrogates from both the Democrat Clinton and Sanders campaigns will address the question, “Why Latinos should support their respective presidential candidates? Representing the “Hillary Clinton for President” campaign is United States Representative Pete Aguilar of the 31st Congressional District. Representing the “Bernie Sanders for President” campaign is Councilman Gil Cedillo of the City of Los Angeles First District.

Summit participants will have the opportunity to voice and debate their preference for president, either Democrat or Republican. A “non-endorsing straw-vote” will be conducted by UCR students.

The Summit’s agenda concludes with a proposed “Statewide/National Latino Grassroots Voter Mobilization Strategic Plan of Action,” prepared Dr. Navarro, which will be discussed, amended if necessary, and subject to approval. Copies will be available to all Summit participants and media.

George Aguilar, Inland Empire LULAC Council Chair states, “The Summit is being “called” and “endorsed” by some 65 community leaders from various sectors from both San Bernardino and Riverside counties. They have enthusiastically committed to attend as well as to invite others to participate in this historic “Colton Summit.”

Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia of the 56th District states, “The summit’s objectives ensures that the dialogue begin to highlight what's at stake and how Latinos will play a critical role in this year’s presidential elections,” Assemblymember Garcia added.

“I’m excited to be part of the summit and continuing the statewide conversation taking place.”

“I am proud to be participating in the San Bernardino and Riverside Latino/a Leadership Summit,” said Assemblymember Jose Medina (D-Riverside). “This Summit comes at an important time when the number of Latinos is growing and the need for our voices to be heard is substantial.

Celia Cruz lit up dance floors from San Bernardino to New York with unscheduled shows

he undisputed Queen of Salsa wasn't even a headlined act in America when she was billed on the west coast.

At the time, 39-year-old Celia Cruz was just starting to make a name for herself after becoming well-known around the Caribbean.

At Pomona's Rainbow Gardens Ballroom, Cruz was not listed on promotional posters for her 1964 appearance fronting the Cuban big band, La Sonora Matancera.

Over the next four years, her subsequent appearances in Pomona were still not billed in pre-publicity advertisements. The headliners were always Johnny Pacheco Orchestra and then Tito Puente. Nevertheless, all reports defined Celia Cruz as someone who remained humble from start to finish. Top billing was never an issue and apparently not being billed at all wasn't an issue either.

By the time of her 2003 death, Celia Cruz recorded 70 albums and earned enough awards to fill a warehouse. She's had schools, streets, and Broadway musicals named after her. Currently, another television production entitled "Celia" is airing about her on Telemundo. It's an 80-episode soap opera that is preceding a massive marketing campaign targeting her music to college students. Billboard Magazine says 18-months worth of advertising will then be conducted by Sony Records to

promote the re-release of some of her hit songs.

There's been a number of sightings that have Celia Cruz performing in San Bernardino in the mid-60's. Again, there are no printed articles or photos to document her presence. Many great performers would quietly come to San Bernardino to fill dance floors at Jerry's Westowner, Tops, and the Crescendo on Mount Vernon Avenue but the heavy voice of Cruz needed a auditorium. Over the years, there have been many eyewitness accounts of the legendary Celia Cruz singing in San Bernardino.

A number of San Bernardino High School students reported seeing Cruz locally anywhere from 1964 to 1968 as part of the New York-based Fania All-Star Tour. "My uncle went to at least one of her shows in San Bernardino. He said everyone was up and dancing," said musician Anthony Garcia. "I think it was at the Valley Ballroom. Tito Puente and Prado Perez were there, too."

Garcia said the building still stands where the Valley Ballroom once thrived. That location is at Rialto Avenue and G Street. Celia Cruz performed in 1968 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and that would most likely put her in San Bernardino at that time.

Cal State San Bernardino instructor/historian Mark Guerrero did not know about Cruz performing in San Bernardino or Pomona.

He did say the Rainbow Gardens Ballroom brought in the heavyweights from the big band era, rock, surf and sounds from East LA. "That still blows my mind that Celia Cruz did not have her name listed in any of the advertisements in Pomona because she was a bigger name than any other," says Guerrero.

Guerrero did say that a younger 1960's audience was taking over from the traditional Latin performers. "Billy Cardenas brought in East LA groups like Cannibal and the Headhunters, The Premiers, and the Midniter's. Rainbow Gardens became a huge Latin venue for those who played rock and roll.

We all played Beatles songs back then."

Mark Guerrero's brother Dan had a 20-year working relationship with Cruz. His 1982 production at Disneyland co-featured Cruz with Puente, Ricky Martin, Jose Feli(PHOTO/COURTESY DAN GUERRERO ciano, Chayanne, Lucha Villa, Mega-personality Celia Cruz remained well balanced through-out Luis Enrique, and Pedro Fernanillustious career. dez. The show was taped and rebroadcast by Univision-TV. Dan Guerrero helped create that performance into the best selling CD, "Navidad en Las Americas." He went on to produce the 1995 Vida Awards that included Cruz.

Dan Guerrero said he knew nothing about Cruz ever appearing in San Bernardino. "Who knows?

She was a lady that loved to perform and make people happy. Just like my dad, Lalo. Those kinds of veteran performers would go anywhere to entertain."

He recalled her often scribbling down "mis inspirations" in case she ever needed those inspirations in a song. "I had the privilege of working with this great lady many times over the years. She was the most gracious, loving, and joyful person I ever met. Always had a smile and light in her eyes that lit up any room or stage she commanded. She was devine."

But Celia Cruz had to work very hard to earn her fame and by the early 1970's did finally win over younger audiences, wrote the New York Times. From 1975 to 1982 she was named best female vocalist of the year by at least one governing body. The Los Angeles Times called her 2002 Hollywood Bowl show 'her most dynamic performance in years." She died 11 months later.

“Community Chronicles” celebrates Black History Month at the San Bernardino County Museum

T

o recognize Black History Month, the San Bernardino County Museum opens “Community Chronicles: Photographs by Henry Hooks” with a special exhibit opening reception Sunday, Jan. 31, from 3pm to 4:30pm. Henry Hooks will be in attendance and the reception will also feature the San Bernardino County Association of African American Employees choir. The exhibit, which records daily lives, social events, and notable visitors in the San Bernardino area during the midlate 20th century, will continue through Feb. 28.

Henry Hooks became enthralled

with photography at a young age while working a few blocks away from a photography studio. In 1979, he retired from government employment and dedicated himself to photography by becoming a staff photographer for San Bernardino’s Precinct Reporter.

“Mr. Hooks had a way, as he describes it, of ‘just showing up’ to places and events to photograph them,” said Jennifer Dickerson, the museum’s curator of history. “In doing so, he created a valuable visual history of his community. In addition to local weddings, parades, fundraisers, and church events, he captured notable individuals who visited the area, such

as Jesse Jackson, Leslie Uggams, and Colin Powell. While much of Henry Hooks’ photography, as seen in this exhibit, documents African American society, his body of work chronicles the diversity of the San Bernardino area and its cultural evolution over the years.”

“Community Chronicles” and the County Museum’s other exciting events and exhibits reflect the effort by the Board of Supervisors to achieve the Countywide Vision by celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county, creating quality of life for residents and visitors.

Exhibit Dates: Feb 2 – Feb. 28.

Member’s Opening: Jan. 31, 3pm to 4:30pm

San Bernardino Soccer Complex Gets Makeover

By Richard Dawson

nyone who has driven down Arden Ave south of East Highland Ave has seen the huge number of local soccer players and families gathering at the San Bernardino Soccer Complex.

That staple in the San Bernardino community is getting a much needed facelift and is in the process of a multi-million dollar renovation that will improve the experience for the soccer players, coaches and families.

On Saturday, January 23, the City of San Bernardino hosted a soft-opening to promote the complex’s improvements, new partnership with Elmore Sports

Group, and establishment of a National Premier Soccer League team, Southern California Sports Club.

The 47 acre facility, which features 17 fields that meet FIFA Standards, is designed to host soccer tournaments and practice for both youth and adult competitions.

The upgraded complex is expected to attract local, regional, national and eventually international tournaments which could help boost local businesses while attracting new businesses to the area.

“Sports gives everyone an opportunity to come together,” Mayor R. Carey Davis told those in attendance. “San Bernardino does a lot to support sports. We

Dave Elmore, owner and founder of the Elmore Group which owns the 66ers, along with his partner Daniel Gamba, general manager of SoCal Sports Club, took over administrative and management activities of the complex from the city on November 16, 2015.

SoCal Sports Club, a new NPLS team, held tryouts for the team after the press conference and will play six homes at the complex and give the community a local semipro team to cheer for.

Gamba announced that SoCal Sports Club will be provided jerseys and gear from Hummel, a Danish sportswear company, for the next five years.

“The city of San Bernardino has been through an interesting past few years,” said Police Chief and Interim City Manager Jarrod Burguan. “One of the things we have strived to create is a different way to provide service. We have done that through a number of partnerPhoto/Richard Dawson ships with community folks, the Elmore Group is a perfect exam- Daniel Gamba, General Manager of SoCal Sports Club, disple of that.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $292,525.41 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell.

The undersigned caused said 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 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM , using the file number assigned to this case 027088CA. 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.

On February 23, 2016 at 09:00 AM, Auction.com Room, Ontario Convention Center, 2000 East Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA 91764, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on July 31, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0518130 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Bernardino County, California, executed by ROSEMARIE TELLEZ, A SINGLE WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of BRIDGELOCK CAPITAL as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1356 SATINWOOD RD, COLTON, CA 92324-0000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $475,684.09 (Estimated).

However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08006699-14-1.
