The 73-year-old baseball historian has worked with other scholars in recent years to gather photos and share the stories of Mexican American baseball players. Next week on April 22, original members of Colton’s Mercuries baseball team will be inducted into the city’s hall of fame. The event is scheduled to take place at the Gonzales Center at 6 p.m.

he Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) post 6476 in Colton received substantial renovations on Thursday April 7. Employees from Home Depot stores across the Inland region volunteered their time to install new ceiling fans, urinals, toilets, flooring, and repaint exterior and interior walls.

“I’m doing it for the families,” Salazar explained. “And I’m doing it for the city.”

The Mercuries (also spelled as Mercurys in the past) were based out of South Colton, the former segregated portion of the city.

Moyeda said the transformation of the post will benefit not only veterans, but the community atlarge.

Cindy Vanlaar, the manager of the Chino Hills store, said the company scouted the location months in advance to analyze potential renovations the post needed.

According to VFW post commander Bernie Moyeda, the renovations to the building were possible because of a $12,000 Community Impact grant they received from the home improvement conglomerate.

“We’ve done a lot of remodeling ourselves,” Moyeda explained. “We’re grateful to Home Depot for the work they have done. This a place where veterans feel at home, and where residents are able to hold events and fundraisers.”

Volunteers from the community were the ones who enabled the hospital to be self-sufficient, by canning and preserving fruits and vegetables grown on the land surrounding the grounds of the hospital. A formal volunteer group was organized at the hospital in 1958.

They were known as the “Sunshine Ladies,” and the volunteers wore yellow and white uniforms as a symbol of the light they brought into patients’ lives.

Now, there are about 250 volunteers at ARMC, who donated approximately 36,000 hours of their time and talent to the hospital in 2015.

What do volunteers do?

On March 30, 2016, nine gentlemen from the W6VAH amateur radio club and American Legion Post 106 met for lunch at Applebee’s on Redlands Blvd. While there is nothing particularly special about a group gathering for lunch, what took place March 30 is the kind of thing that restores faith in humanity and truly touched the hearts of our group.

Members of the W6VAH club and American Legion Post 106 are proud of their country and proud of their past. As veterans serving in the Korean and Viet Nam wars these men are close friends who make it a point to continue serving their country and supporting fellow veterans through the actions of their daily lives.

Our income tax system is a mess.

No need for me to list the many ways. The presidential candidates are offering more pages of rules to the mess, although Ted Cruz’s flat tax would simplify the system.

Cruz says it would eliminate the Internal Revenue Service, but I don’t see how.

One particular kick in the wallet for citizens is the alternative minimum tax, an archaic statute intended to tax the rich by imposing a mandatory higher rate if one’s income exceeded a specified amount (think decreased tax deductions).

But egregious inflation has changed AMT from good to bad because now millions of middleclass citizens pay the AMT, which

Words to Think About: The Great Escape

S

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

tella and I are residents of a very nice Mobile Home Park. Our coach is a double wide and fifty feet long. In the back yard we have a concrete sitting area and on the other side we have a cactus garden.

It’s the inside that I’m most proud of. It is an artist’s paradise.

We have twenty oil paintings and ten framed photographs and four plaques. This isn’t counting the eight book cases.

Stella has an office where she is “Queen of the Computer.” I have a recliner where I sit and nap in; and read in; and have a portable table to write on; and use it to eat snacks. I’m surrounded by artist

paintings and knick-knacks.

Sometimes I wonder why I ever leave paradise.

After a quick survey, I’ve purchased only four paintings. The rest have been given to me by friends. Five of them were purchased by friends and given to me as gifts.

A most interesting asset to our family menagerie is the mirror on the western wall of our dining area. With a credenza below it, it is about fifteen feet wide by three feet high. In front we have about fifty pictures of our family, from our parents to the youngest three great-grandchildren.

Whenever family company arrives we anticipate their interest and we place appropriate pictures in front-for their benefit.

Outside the door to our home is a painting I purchased in Palm Springs. It hangs outside as an introduction to our home. It is humorous. It portrays a figure representing Michelangelo on a scaffold painting his classic scene of God touching Adams finger (almost.)

The difference? He is painting by numbers. The figures are cartoonish and the scene is laughable.

Most visitors look at it in unbelief.

I love it.

Two paintings (prints) that I’ve bought are in our bedroom. One I purchased in Rosarito, Mexico and the other in Zion National Park.

The Mexican print is of a ship (a galleon) sailing on a choppy sea.

Just a beautiful ship on a wild body of water. It conveys a time long past and aloneness that I feel at times.

The other print I bought at the Zion National Park in Utah. It has three figures in vivid relief. A majestic looking Indian astride a marvelous white stallion.

They appear to be anticipating a rendezvous with the image above their heads, surrounded by white clouds. It is a vivid portrayal of a celestial head, face and shoulders.

It is their Great Spirit. I gaze at the print upon awakening every day.

The fourth print that I paid for is a print by the Dutch painter, Rembrandt. The original is in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is a 4 ft. by 3 ft. portrayal of the Prodigal Son’s return. There are four figures that are visible.

The returned son, kneeling in front of the father, the brother and the mother in the shadows. The Prodigal is in ragged clothes and bare feet. The father’s hands are on his

shoulders, symbolic of his forgiveness.

Interestingly, his right hand is big and manly; his left is relatively small and feminine. Since Jesus saw the Father as representing God, according to most Bible scholars, the different hands symbolizes God’s acceptance of both men and women.

Seven of our pictures are original oils. The painters are all women and Fran and Carmen gave us two each; Romelle, Harriet and Becky gave us one. In my opinion, the paintings are excellent. They are not for sale.

Carmen and Becky are still living but Fran, Harriet and Romelle have passed on.

The seven paintings have a special place in my mind and heart. In many respects, artists are like poets. Their work represents their thoughts and emotions.

Therefore, their artistic expressions speak to me. Harriett’s is a painting of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. I’ve seen it many times. And when I look at Harriet’s rendition, I remember that Jesus walked on the Sea. Fran’s pictures are very rustic, reminding me of Kincaid’s paintings. Becky’s and Romelle’s

paintings are definitely seascapes; but very different.

Carmen’s two paintings are extremely different. One is of a flower bouquet. A classical painting. The other I placed right by our door, going outside. It is unique in that it is of a single rowboat. It is graphic—alone. No oars, passengers, other boats. Only a limp rope, maybe attached to the dock.

In my imagination, it speaks of life.

We have five other paintings that were purchased and then given to me. Three were purchased by Carol while on a trip to the Holy Land. They were given in appreciation for leading a tour to Israel. I think of her and the trip often.

One was given by Art. It is of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. He specified in his will that I should get the painting. It reminds me of our Creator and of Art’s love for God. The last one is a wedding present given by Pam. Our daughter. It is a unique print, showing four violinists and one person playing the cello. All are shown suspended in the air. The pose is unusual and mind boggling.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

The great escape.

Assemblymember Brown Arrowhead Credit Union Donates Free Business Clothing for Cal State San Bernardino Announces Workshops Students Looking for Jobs

A

rrowhead Credit Union team members donated and delivered more than 600 articles of clothing to Cal State San Bernardino’s Career Center Clothing Closet, which will help students and alums going to career fairs, job or internship interviews and in the workplace.

Arrowhead Credit Union’s donation of new and gently used clothing and accessories will go a long way to help students who lack the financial resources to buy professional work attire, said Fallon Pitts of the CSUSB Career Center front office support.

“The team at Arrowhead recognized the impact the Clothing Closet was going to make for our students and local community,” Pitts said. “They put together a clothing drive that filled six jumbo boxes of professional and casual clothing and many accessories including shoes, purses, ties and belts.”

This donation, which is the largest donation to the Clothing Closet to date, was also timely, as the Career Center hosted a Career Extravaganza on April 11. More than 600 students were expected

to attend the event. The donations from Arrowhead Credit Union added much needed clothing to the inventory and will be offered to those seeking career opportunities.

“We know how expensive it can be to purchase clothes for work.

It’s especially difficult for a student who has no income at all and is on a very strict budget to make professional attire a priority,” Pitts said.

“Our team is pleased to offer support by adding to the Clothing Closet inventory for those seeking career opportunities,” said Arrowhead team member Ann Wadagnolo. “These items help provide the confidence needed to individuals who otherwise may not have the professional attire required to compete in today’s job market.”

The Career Center, whose mission is to support the career readiness of all students and alumni, created the Clothing Closet in 2015 to help students preparing to enter the work force or applying for internships, said Edgar Perez, employer relations coordinator for the center.

CID Teen Club showcases artistry, charisma during inaugural talent show

By MJ Duncan

inging, dancing and a comedy skit were just a few of the talents showcased by the Teen Club of the Center for Individual Development of the City of San Bernardino on Saturday, Apr. 2 at the 5th Street Senior Center. The event was precipitated by the club’s desire to contribute to the center’s fundraising efforts. Approximately 60 people attended the two-hour talent show, “Shine,” that raised $200, a noteworthy amount considering it was an inaugural event.

According to Christopher McClain, CID Recreation Specialist and board member, the teen club began brainstorming different undertakings and finally decided on a talent show. Members began practicing their performances for two months.

“There was great enthusiasm among the participants and parents,” McClain said. “I don’t think some of the parents realized the extent of their (child’s) talent and their ability to be charismatic on stage.”

Each of the 19 acts delivered a commanding performance that gripped the audience. Angel Avila, 16, opened the show with a rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly” by R. Kelly, while his younger brother, Erick, 14, concluded it with “Still I Fly” from the Planes soundtrack.

“I had a lot of fun at the show, and I really enjoyed practicing for it,” Angel said. “I’ve been singing since I was a little boy.”

CID board members created swag bags for participants that were Halloween-themed, pertinent to the organization’s annual Harvest Fair fundraiser.

“I was really proud of them and all the hard work they invested,” McClain said. “It all paid off with the applause and recognition they received.”

The CID, founded in 1980, is a regional recreation center that serves people with disabilities – physical, developmental and mental. Senior citizens and people without disabilities are also welcome to attend many CID programs, such as: Merri Mixers – A social environment where adults with developmental disabilities are given

pril is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect, and to promote the

social and emotional well-being of children and families. Two local organizations, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and Youth Action Project will be collaborating once again to host the 9th Annual Care 4 Kids Run and Community Resource Fair on Saturday, Apr. 23 at Glen Helen Re-

gional Park in San Bernardino.

“The event originally began as a way to raise awareness about child abuse, but now it has grown and has become a way for people to come together to celebrate families, children and the community,” explained Valerie Valadez, CASA Advocate Supervisor.

The family-friendly event will feature vendors, games, bounce houses and the In-N-Out Burger food truck (for participants only).

Valadez added that local high school bands will provide musical entertainment throughout the day.

The goal of the annual Walk/Run event is to raise awareness about the plight of young people in the county, issues related to foster care, literacy, education, and community engagement. There will be resources available including those aimed at stemming violence against youth. The community is encouraged to participate in the family-friendly event and connecting with others to promote the safety and health of young people.

In San Bernardino County there are approximately 3,500 children who live in foster care. They were removed from their homes and families due to abuse and/or neglect. As dependents of the court, these children pass through a court system that often leaves them lost, confused and alone.

CASA volunteers advocate for the best interests of their assigned foster youth directly to the court.

They communicate frequently with youth and often become the sole source of consistency in that child’s life. Additionally, volunteers advocate for their education, ensuring that they are in the appropriate grade level and appropriate school setting.

According to Valadez, there are between 120 – 140 youth on a waiting list who are in need of CASA volunteers.

Joseph Williams, CEO of Youth Action Project, said he was motivated to partner with CASA in the

Run six years ago when he realized many youth were not performing up to standards in math and reading. YAP brings the elements of literacy and education to the resource fair.

The community is invited to participate in the event that runs from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Glen Helen Regional Park; register the morning of the event or pre-register at www.casasb.org. Cost is $30 per adult, $12 for children 5 – 11.

2016 Little League season begins, likewise for big league embezzlers

I

By Harvey M. Kahn

n the past three years there's been million of dollars reported missing from Little League Baseball franchises around the country. With the 2016 season underway, at least three cases of embezzlement are already under scrutiny by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.

One Little League official told of another case in San Bernardino County where over $200,000 was missing from a league's bank account. The thief was able to cunningly co-mingle the funds making the crime hard to prove.

When confronted the embezzler repaid the funds and no incident report was filed. Four Little League officials spoke on the condition they remain anonymous.

While numerous other Little League officials would speak only off the record, the top ranking Little League official in the Western Region would talk on the record. "We are kept informed about those who steal from various Little League's and it is very problematic," said Dave Bonham, who is the San Bernardino-based Western Region Director of Little League Baseball.

Since each league is its own business, Bonham said all Little League International can do about theft is provide guidance. It can not be the enforcement arm.

"When a league feels there is money missing, it needs to first collect as much evidence as possible. Then go to the local police or to the district attorney," advised Bonham.

Other little League officials explained that each of the nation's 6,500 leagues conduct business as a independent franchise or charter somewhat like McDonald's. They all operate under a congressional bill signed into law

by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Each league is to keep a

detailed record of income and expenditures. It calls for all leagues to complete a annual financial report to be submitted to the league's board and onto Little in International League Williamsport.

Bonham explained that their franchises get the benefit of using the Little League name to fund raise, to participate in all-star tournaments, and use of its expansive informational resources.

It provides free background checks on more than one million of the nation's little league volunteers.

Bonham suggests that little league's need strict oversight to protect funds. He said two unrelated people should sign expense checks, and cash transactions must include a receipt. He did say that snack bars can be vulnerable to embezzlement because all the transactions are by cash. Bonham said there should be at least one experienced person designated to monitor the snack bar at all times, adding that teenaged volunteers also need supervision.

Little League International

recommends that audit reports should be easily accessible to the public, possibly posted on the wall outside the snack bar. However, in a 15-year survey conducted at 15 Little League franchises in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, not one league was willing to post a hard copy in public view.

Williamsport officials tell its charters that along with a president and treasurer, a league audit committee is a must. Since leagues are run by a revolving group of overworked volunteers, it should secure a public accountant to assist the treasurer. "In every local Little League a great amount of trust is placed in volunteers," said Melissa Singer, Treasurer of Little League Baseball International. She recommends to have as many people counting monies at one time as possible.

In a news release, Singer pointed out that even those who are thought highly trustworthy can be lured into doing the wrong thing. Singer acknowledged that Little League International has

noticed more recent stories about missing funds. "It doesn't matter how trustworthy you think a person is. You'll never fully know their personal situation, and what reason that person would have to rationalize stealing from a league," said Singer.

In San Bernardino County, there have been first-hand reports about leagues who have had their entire accounts pilfered by a official. Some that have occurred over years and records altered to a point that no paper trail existed.

Offenders were simply removed from office and no police reports filed. Some incidents make the newspapers and others are "gagged" to save the league's reputation. "When people question a league's fundraising records, it can be as bad as being robbed," added Singer.

With some leagues lucky enough to generate very large sums, well into six figures, Bonham told about crime insurance offered by Little League. He said it protects districts and leagues against a monetary loss caused by dishonesty, disappearance, or

property loss. "There have been too many cases that have been brought to our attention," said Bonham.

Representatives from Little League International say they do not maintain statistics on thefts at local leagues and therefore have no way of knowing if there has been an increase in thefts or not.

"In the event that a league needs to file a crime insurance claim, Little League's risk management department assists by gathering information from police reports and from the local league involved," explained Brian McClintock, Senior Director of Communications for Little League International. "Little league International shares that information with the provider (AIG Insurance), who then works directly with the local league to resolve the issue."

A spokesperson for the San Bernardino County District Attorney said unless you have a case number, it is difficult to locate a case filed against someone specifically accused of theft from Little League.

student at Colton. He described him as a “hard working kid that left everything on the field.”

“No one understands how hard he worked,” Sutherland said.

“We believe he is up there with Kenny Hubbs. Eventually he will be up there with all the other star athletes of our city.”

Sutherland also said meeting Smith served as a good experience for some of the current football players.

“He’s not just an athlete, but also a student,” he said. “He comes back and gives back to the community. What a better mentor than him.”

Junior Adrian Estrada, 17, said Smith’s story is a great testament of what can be done if one continues to work hard.

“It’s amazing what one person could do,” Estrada explained.

“If you put your mind to it, you can do anything.”

Smith, who lives in Rancho Cucamonga, said it felt good to return to his alma mater.

altimore Ravens defensive player and Super Bowl XLVII champion Jimmy Smith in the past month has visited Colton High School twice, and both times he was able to send a clear message to young people: be positive.

“Always believe in what you are doing,” Smith said. “And surround yourself with people that believe in your goals.”

Since the beginning of the year, former NFL football players who played in one of the first 49 Super Bowls were given the opportunity to present their high school alma maters with a golden football to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the championship.

It allowed for Smith, 27, to return to Colton on March 15 and April 7 and receive recognition and support from former coaches, school district officials, and members of the community. The event was held twice to allow for more people to meet and greet the cornerback.

Coach Harold Strauss spoke of Smith’s dedication both on the field and in the classroom.

“You had a goal, and you had a dream,” Strauss affirmed to Smith. “You chose positive people to be around, and worked hard to achieve your dreams. We are proud of your accomplishments. Thank you and keep it up brother.”

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.

If not, or just not enough, America’s Family Pet Expo returns April 22-24, to the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa with a furry, scaly or feathery friend for all animal lovers.

Celebrating its 27th year, the event brings together dozens of exhibitors from throughout Southern California, including local groups from the Inland Empire, to showcase adoptable pets and a few of their tricks.

But the event is more than just

having a waggin’ good time, it’s about education, added Doug Poindexter, president of the World Pet Association, producers of America’s Family Pet Expo.

“Not only are we entertaining guests with the shows, but we also want to inform them of what’s required to care for their animals so they remain in forever homes,” he said. “The mission is to promote responsible pet care.”

Almost every kind of companion animal will be showcased and many are featured in educational demonstrations. Exhibitors include manufacturers, retailers, groomers, veterinarians, hobbyist groups, humane rescue organiza-

the 27th annual america’s family pet expo, april 22- 24, at the oc fair & event center in costa mesa, will offer several pet shows and demonstrations including the return of splash Dogs (below). tions, humane societies and breeders among many more. Local Inland-are exhibitors include Coonhounds - Bluetick, Redbone and American of Redlands, Fur and Feather Llama Ranch, Redlands Friends of Shelter Animals, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in San Bernardino.

Last year, more than 600 pets were adopted and the hope is to break that record at this weekend’s event, he added.

New to this year’s event, is something on the smaller scale — mini farm animals.

From mini donkeys, mini cattle, mini sheep, mini dairy goats, to chickens, rabbits, and pot belly pigs, the smallest of animals will probably melt the biggest hearts, Poindexter said.

“Everyone deserves a forever home and there will be plenty of education to go around if someone decides to have a mini for a pet.”

For the equine lovers, horses from Camp Rusk Foundation for Retired Horses will make their debut, and returning fan favorites include Splash Dogs with a wet-and-wild canine competition.

The Police Dog & Protection Demonstrations, crime fighting dogs in action showing how they serve and protect the community, and the Free Flight Bird Show, where birds spread their wings and take flight, will also be back at the event, performing throughout the weekend.

General Admission, $13.00; seniors 60 and over, $11.00. Children 6-12, $8.00. 5 yrs and under, free.

Active and retired military free with ID. Show hours: Friday 10am-6pm; Saturday 10am-7pm; Sunday 10am-6pm. Parking $7.00 Pets will not be allowed at the event.

The OC Fair & Event Center is at 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa.

Miles of Motocros at Ultimate Amature MX Round 3

R

By Joaquin Juarez

ound three of the Ultimate Amateur Series was held at Milestone MX Park under superb conditions. The weather came in as if it was dialed in at “perfect.” The racing was great, and a brand new Yamaha YZ 250 was given away. Be sure to get yourself and your bike ready to race round four at Perris Raceway this Sunday, April 17th. You just may win a brand new Yamaha.

One of the most highly competitive classes in the series is the 250 Novice class. The first moto saw Noah Fraley lead after one lap, followed closely by Mitchel Dorman, Kevin Jones, Austin Hess and Nick Fowler. They all kept within a few seconds of one another, but they maintained their positions at the checkered flag.

Moto two was a different story as Hess led lap one by only a second over Fraley. Fraley kept pace with Hess, only to have a problem on the white flag lap, putting him back in fourth place for the moto. Jones and Webb were able to capitalize on his mistake and move up to second and third, respectively, behind moto winner Hess.

Hess won the overall and now is the series points leader, while Dorman is only three points back of him. Valdez is third and Webb fifth overall; this class will go down to the wire.

Anthony Zappier won the first moto of the 35+ Novice class over Danny Fonteyn, Richard Barnes and Dave Riley, respectively. He dominated, passing Byrnes on lap two to take over first place. Fonteyn then got by Byrnes into second place, and

Photo Courtesy/Mike Riley Joel Plitt watches Jeff Millard beat him again! that is where they finished the moto, Dave Riley in tow.

An unfortunate first turn incident ruined Zappier’s front wheel, so that left the other three to battle for the win. It was indeed a battle royale. At any time, one could have thrown a blanket over Byrnes, Fonteyn and Riley.

At the finish line Byrnes jumped

by Fonteyn to grab the victory.

When all was said and done, the three racers were one second apart, first to third.

“I had a tough time trying to pass those guys,” reasoned Riley.

“Every time I would try a different line, I would lose time and

have to make it up.” Zappier still leads the points in the class.

The 35+ Amateur was a place to show the dominance of Andre Lopez. In each moto he ended lap one in 5th place, third place after lap two, then on lap three he took the lead each time and won by more that ten seconds in each moto. Greg Shank ended up second each moto, followed by Michael Boone in a strong third each moto. Shank maintains a stranglehold on the points lead for the series.

This class also represented one of the great things about motocross: racing with your bud-

dies. Jeff Millard and Wilmer Amina Carter High School Spanish teacher, Joel Plitt, met in their early twenties and became fast friends. One of their pass times was going to races, and another was riding.

“I just came out here to win the bike and ride around with this guy (Plitt),” said Millard. After a third place start, Millard took the lead on lap three. “I got into the lead, then I remembered I was here to ride with Joel,” he explained. He slowed down to ride with Plitt and finished in 6th place, six one-thousands of a second ahead of Plitt. “He had to beat me! I told him to forget me and go win, but friendship is more fun sometimes,” laughed Plitt. They finished in those positions overall also.

Plitt, sponsored by John Burr Cycles, Pirelli, JGR, DRD, Moto-Master, Twin-Air and Maxima finished 6th in this class and sits second in points, but Jose Revalo is closing on him.

Round 4 of the Ultimate Ama-

teur Series will be contested at Perris Raceway this Sunday April 17th, so pack up the family and head over to experience all of the action in person. It could be your turn to win a dirt bike since they are giving one away at each round. It wouldn’t be too shabby to win the Toyota Truck they are giving away at the end of the series either. Go to www.milestonemx.com or www.perrismx.com for all the information you will need.

Perris and Milestone are really doing great things for the people who love and enjoy their tracks; they have by giving away so many prizes.

The greatest way to involve all of the family is to go to John Burr Cycles in Fontana to get outfitted with the proper gear and dirt bikes. Be a participant and a spectator and build a lifetime of quality family experiences. Stop by the shop and check out www.johnburrcycles.com. See you at the races.
