limit. Mariano--the school’s current Associated Student Body (ASB) and National Honor Society (NHS) president--explained the hard work and dedication that she put forth to ensure she would be able to manage extracurricular activities and college preparation.

“I worked hard for this,” she said. “My junior year I took two math courses--AP Statistics and Honors Pre-Calculus to focus more on ASB presidency this year. It was definitely worth it.

I’ve realized it is not just about class, but about becoming involved and being a leader.”

Mariano said she received a lot of motivation from her grandfather, Jose Abutin, and her brother Ryan (Class of 2008), who is now an employee at UC Riverside. The former’s influence motivated her to pursue her desired major.

“When I was little, my grandpa and I had a thing for assembling items,” she said. “My parents always pushed me to be a doctor,

but I think it might be too pressure. With Bioengineering, I can put both interests together. I will be able to construct things that doctors will utilize in their field.”

When asked where she sees herself in five years, Mariano said she intends on transferring to the University of Southern California to complete her Master’s Degree in Bioengineering. She intends on telling the Class of 2015 to follow their dreams and that they all possess a “Number One” strength.

“Just because I am up here doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the recognition,” Mariano said. “To me, they are all number one when it comes to their strengths.”

Ramirez---a first generation Mexican-American student---will be the first to attend the university in his family. After a few first difficult years in Colton (his family moved to the area from Wilmington), he made friends and became involved with science club. The trips he took with father to the California Science Center in his

pre-teen years made a lasting impression on him.

“I thought all the airplanes and space shuttles were cool,” he said.

“So I asked my dad how I would be able to build something like that. He told me ‘College’. My parents have always emphasized the importance of going to college, so I followed their advice.”

Roberto’s mother, Claudia, said that since the tender age of five she has instilled academic values into her son’s life.

“I always told him, ‘One day, you will attend a university,” she said in a booming voice. “I believe anything is possible and anything he wants to pursue he can achieve it. I am extremely proud to be his mother.”

Colton High School principal Joda Murphy expressed her delight for the success of both students.

“We here at Colton High are extremely proud of Crystal and Roberto’s recent achievements and we wish them well,” she said.

and a raffle. Food will also be served.

“It helps to build community within the ministry and residents,” Duran explained. “It’s a two fold event that also allows us to fundraise.”

The event will begin with blessings from Father Bonifacio Velasquez on Saturday and will be followed by performances from the Tommy Gunn dance crew and local Latin Jazz and Funk band Sok Munky. City officials are expected to also be present, according to Duran.

“This will be a good event for families to spend some time with each other,” Duran said. “They

won’t have to worry about there whereabouts or anything. Everything will all be confined here to the parking lot.”

“It’s a plus for Colton because it is one of the many activities that families can go to and have a positive experience,” said councilmember Dr. Luis Gonzalez, who is a big supporter of the Immaculate Conception Church. “People will not be disappointed.”

Entrance into the event will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday and at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The event is free and available to the entire community.

Gloria Macias Harrison Congratulations Graduates!

What a busy time of the year filled with celebrations for our students graduating from one grade to another, from high schools, colleges and universities and many completion ceremonies for those in specialized areas such as EMTs, paramedics, nursing, police and fire academies and many more.

It was a privilege to be the commencement speaker at my alma mater - San Bernardino High School. I shared the stage with student speakers, Connie Hurtado, Alejandro Avila, Melissa Brito, Susana Murrillo, Julissa Vejar, Joshua Craig, Breanna Jordan and Anthony Hernandez who all spoke of their dreams and gratitude for the support of their families, teachers and fellow students.

It was bitter sweet for principal Sandra Rodriguez who will be leaving the school after a long tenure for a position at the District office as she wished the students well in their future endeavors. I joined Dr. Harold Vollkommer, Deputy Superintendent; Dr. Barbara Flores, SBCUSD School Board Member; Ted Alejandre, San Bernardino County Superintendent of School, and Charles Brown Jr., Director, Department of Equity and Student Achievement in congratulating and shaking hands with every graduate who walked in the ceremony. Class of 2015, I wish you well and I am so proud of your accomplishments.

OPINION&LETTERS Page A4 • June 4, 2015 • Inland Empire Community Newspapers

By Anthony Victoria

Getting drunk is NOT cool

A

study done by the County of San Bernardino in 2012 demonstrated that 22-percent of adolescents in the region said they believed occasionally getting drunk was alright, as long as it did not interfere with work, school, or other day-to-day responsibilities.

But why should researchers even pose such a question to teenagers and young adults? I will tell you: because we are seeing more and more teenagers drinking, as well as using other substances around school campuses, neighborhood parks, and vulnerable locations (such as alleys, hideouts, etc.).

This is demonstrated in staggering statistics that can be found on numerous abuse center organization websites.

According to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, seven percent of new female drinkers were under the age of 14. Today, some three year later, the figure is at 31 percent. The World Health Organization's Program on Substance Abuse points out that 10 to 30 million children worldwide are orphaned and must support themselves by working, begging, stealing, selling sex and trafficking illicit substances. Estimates say that up to 90 percent of these street children use substances of one kind or another. According to a survey conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse one in four American teens said they had a friend or classmate who had used Ecstasy, while 17 percent said they knew more than one user.

The figures don’t lie. Our community continues to lose young people to the chains of the local prison system and to early graves due to the effects of substance abuse. Of the 30.7-percent of teenagers who admitted to drinking or using other drugs, how many have been incarcerated, received treatment, or are now lying six-feet deep in the ground?

In late 2012 a friend of mine lost her life as she was driving on the freeway after colliding with another vehicle. Her decision to drink and drive and get behind the

wheel resulted in her tragic death at the tender age of 20. She left behind friends, family, and a little boy.

At the beginning of that same year, I was with a friend, getting intoxicated at a nearby park. I didn’t realize I may have been at the cusp of losing my education and my job--the things I value in life.

After being told by a police officer to step out of the vehicle and being frisked, we were told to sit down. The officer then said...

“You should be ashamed to be hanging out with this loser, this nobody,” the officer said to my friend, noticing she had a child seat in the back of her car. As mad and frustrated as I was because he said that, and despite me screaming “you don’t know who I am or what I do,” I realize, that at least I was not helping out the situation by consuming alcohol with her. And yet, many young ones also find themselves with others who enable instead of help.

That is why it is essential that groups such as the Colton, Rialto, and Bloomington Community Coalitions for Change and the Mental Health Systems (MHS) nonprofit organization are contributing to curbing drug and alcohol usage among teenagers and young adults. Since 2010, the Coalition for CHANGE has partnered with residents, community organizers, city officials, and law enforcement to address the issues of alcohol and drug use.

Leaders like MHS’ Mirza Martinez-Andrade have witnessed tragedy and have grown frustrated of seeing young people lose their lives. The Under-21 Think-O-NoDrink-O campaign and MHS’ push to convince the Colton City Council to pass the social host ordinance have provided essential steps that have seen a change in culture in recent months.

“It was very difficult at first because people didn’t understand the ordinance,” Martinez expressed. “The activities and resources we offer have helped attract more interest. People didn’t want to get near us and now we have lines of residents waiting to participate.”

As a journalist, I am proud to cover the work of organizations that are continuously fighting for helping better the lives of our residents and young ones. I like to believe I have bounced back resoundingly from that experience in 2012. Now, I can say ‘getting drunk’ is not cool. My job allows me to shed light on these issues-also in the hope of helping of save lives.

Gearing up for Great Race in San Bernardino

With San Bernardino being one of the Great Race stops along their long route from St. Louis area, the city has really stepped up to the plate to make this stop the best along the Great Race route.

This is such a huge event to kick start our city on the road to recovery and show residents San Bernardino is back. We hope every person who lives here shows up to support this family event.

We have had many local volunteers willing to help, as well as donations from the Elks Lodge, Crest Chevy, R81 Print, Crown

Printing, Cooly’s Hardware, Molly’s Cafe, San Bernardino Golf Club, IWC Motorsports and Arrow Auto Air.

With all the blocks closed off downtown, there will also be 1,000 vehicles, a free car and motorcycle show for 1980 and older American cars and motorcycles, a huge veterans parade with restored military vehicles, professional chili cook-off, bands, two radio stations broadcasting from the event, 15 gourmet food trucks, stage coach rides, beer garden, speciality drag racing, NASCAR, choppers, movie and TV cars on display and restored fire trucks.

Supervisor Ramos is well known for his commitment and leadership on issues related to helping youth maximize their potential — especially among the Native American communities, foster kids and those at risk of homelessness. Aside from supporting youth involvement and youth and family empowerment, he is a coalitionbuilder, advocate and mentor.

Every youth deserves a chance at improving their own lives, and Supervisor Ramos’ work helps ensure the youth in his community have a chance to do so.

Words to Think About: Fast Food...Then and Now

I

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

am addicted to fast food. I like the prices of fast food restaurants and I like the diversity of their food specialties.

All of them have a few dishes in common, but they all have their own specialties.

For example Wendy’s offer baked potatoes and chili. McDonald’s has oatmeal and sweet rolls.

El Pollo Loco has various kinds of quesadillas and lots of salsa. Subway has a Veggie Delight sandwich and hot soup. Burger King has a “pulled pork” special. On and on.

When I was a kid (7) 80 years ago, the only fast food I can remember was named White Castle.

A hamburger cost only a nickel.

Wow!! There was an occasional Coney Island shop. Hot dogs. That was all.

Right now there are at least 25 fast food places within 2 miles of our home. Since I’m diabetic and insulin dependent, I don’t frequent the donut fast food places. All others I’m a frequent flyer.

Within the two mile radius, I’ve counted 5 Subway’s, 3 McDonalds, 3 Jack in-the Boxes, 2 KFC’s, 2 Taco Bell, 2 Del Tacos, 2 Bakers, 2 Carl’s, 1 Wendy’s, 1 El Pollo Loco, 1 Cuca’s, 1 Burger King, and several local independents.

Several fast food restaurants provide play areas for children.

The McDonald restaurant began on May 15, 1940. Seventy-five years ago by two brothers, Richard and Maurice McDonald at 1398 North E Street in San Bernardino,

California. They popularized “fast food” on service, hamburgers and drive-in service. This philosophy has pretty much been typical of all fast-foods. Today the building is a museum of McDonald memorabilia. It is owned by Albert Okura, founder of Juan Pollo.

The McDonald brand is in 128 countries around the world. Thirty thousand locations serve 52 million customers each day.

Ray Kroc is credited with really building McDonald’s after he bought out the brothers. From April 15, 1955 when he franchised the restaurants. Today 70 percent of them are franchised and the reminder owned by the corporation.

The corporate stores establish product lines new menu offerings.

Last year McDonald’s Corp. had sales in excess of $27 billion.

Masab, local manager and a native Israeli, is proud of the store on Baseline; the employees are a mixture of white, black and Hispanics, and the cleanliness of the store including restrooms. A college Business major he is committed to maintain the high quality.

Subway fast food was started by Fred Deluca and Dr. Peter Buck, on August 28, 1965. They decided on the franchise approach and Brian Dixon was the first one sold.

Currently they have 43,417 locations in 110 countries. They specialize in subs of all varieties; fresh vegetables and 2 hot soups and salads.

In 2010 Subway became one of the largest fast food chain worldwide with 22, 749 restaurants.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) specializes in fried chicken. It was founded by Harland Sanders. In 1930 he took over a Shell Station and started selling fried chicken on the side. In 1936 he bought a restaurant and was soon honored

by Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon with the honorary title of Kentucky Colonel.

In 1964 Sanders sold his company for $2 million.

KFC was first franchised in 1952 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Today they have 18,875 locations and in 2013 had an income of $23 billion.

The history of Wendy’s began with the dream of Dave Thomas.

After a stint in the military and

working for several restaurants, including KFC, in 1969 Dave opened the first Wendy’s, named after his daughter.

His emphasis was “fresh meat”, a salad bar, chili, frosties and chicken sandwiches. The business catapulted in popularity in the 80’s with Clara Peller statement.

“Where’s the Beef?”

In a recent conversation that I had with Tony, an Iranian and District Manager of several Wendy’s, there are 833 company stores in the USA and 85 more in Canada.

There are 4843 franchised stores in the USA, 275 in Canada and 385 internationally.

Dave Thomas died on January 2, 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the age of 69.

Carl’s Jr. fast food or CKE was started by Carl Karcher in 1941.

He and his wife Margaret began with a hot dog stand in Anaheim, California. Listed among the top 10 fast food restaurants they are world-wide but focus on California and Texas.

Karcher died at age 90 on January 11, 2008. The company had been accused of insider trading by SEC and fined $500,000. In 1990 he was ousted as CEO by the Board of Directors.

The business has failed in many states but has succeeded recently in Texas. There are two stores in the Highland vicinity.

Fast food restaurants have gone through a drastic evolution in recent years. From limited menus that stressed high fat hamburgers and french fries, they are all currently including healthy menus.

Salads, grilled sandwiches and not only deep fried ones, specialty foods like oatmeal, chili and baked potatoes.

Appearance wise they have also improved with clear windows, white paint and bright lights. In many respects, McDonald’s has led the way.

A few years ago we were on a cruise that stopped at Aruba. To my amusement, scores of cruisers raced to a large McDonalds to get a Big Mac. After all the food available on the ship.

I’m not the only fast food devotee.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

Local officials: Drowning is 100 percent preventable

ith the onset of summer local agencies took the opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers posed by water sources as we take to the beaches, pools and rivers.

On Wednesday, May 27, Safe Kids Inland Empire and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) along with the Inland Empire Drowning Prevention Net-

work (DPN) converged at Splash Kingdom to demonstrate the importance of water safety, raise awareness about the dangers of drowning, and to remember the seven lives lost in 2014 to water submersion.

The message that resonated throughout the presentation was that drowning is 100 percent preventable. It is also the leading cause of death among children aged 1 – 4.

During the presentation seven inflatable bodies were placed in the pool, and were individually retrieved by Splash Kingdom lifeguards, who then handed them over to personnel from the Redlands Fire Department. They were consequently placed on the ground and covered with black tarp; a grim reminder of the perils water can pose.

According to Clark Morrow of the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department, there are an unacceptable number of fatal and near drownings in the Inland Empire, and stressed the ABC’s of drowning prevention: Adult supervision, Barriers and Classes.

Dr. Shamel Abd-Allah from LLUCH pediatric intensive care unit described the neurological injuries associated with submersions. “The brain is the least resistant organ, and with the lack of blood flow to the brain for 20 – 30 minutes, the likelihood of neurological injury significantly rises,” he explained.

Drowning is a silent accident.

According to Dr. Abd-Allah, young children lack the strength to splash back to the surface, and they slowly sink to the bottom.

Parents are urged to maintain 100 percent eye contact with their children, and if they can’t find their child, the first place to look should be the pool.

CPR should be performed immediately to return oxygen to the body to prevent brain damage, making a significant difference in the person’s recovery.

On Wednesday, May 27, Safe Kids Inland Empire and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) along with the Inland Empire Drowning Prevention Network (DPN) converged at Splash Kingdom to demonstrate the importance of water safety, raise awareness about the dangers of drowning, and to remember the seven lives lost in 2014 to water submersion. Pictured is Dr. Jesse Wyatt from LLUCH pediatric intensive care unit sharing data retrieved from a seven-year study of water submersion incidents in the Inland Empire.

“This is so tragic, that one minute you have a healthy, happy kid running around the pool, and the next he suffers from neurological damage,” Dr. Abd-Allah said.

Dr. Jesse Wyatt, also from LLUCH pediatric intensive care unit, participated in a research study of drowning incidents in the Inland Empire from summer 2007 through September of 2014. Data provided insight into effective preventive measures and first aid response. During the seven years there were 266 incidents, 168 of

those occurred among children aged 1 – 4. 83 percent of adults received CPR, compared to 67 percent of children. Data suggested that fencing serves as passive protection – 71 percent of incidents reported during the study period had fencing around the pool. Finally, data procured showed that socio-economics does not play a factor in water safety, it affects individuals at all levels of status.

“Hopefully through education we can help prevent these bad outcomes,” Wyatt concluded.

SBCUSD board member announces push for Assembly seat

an Bernardino Unified School District board member Abigail Medina has decided to run for the California State 40th Assembly seat in the 2016 elections. The seat is currently held by Marc Steinorth (RRancho Cucamonga). Among her main goals, if elected, is to provide more educational opportunities for low-income youth.

Hailing from a working-class family background, Medina said her longtime involvement in parent advisory boards and district committees has helped her understand and solve issues San Bernardino County children encounter in the classroom. Among the topics Medina said she intends to improve are accessibility to college-prep classes that satisfy California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) requirements (more commonly referred to as A-G requirements), accessibility for grants and scholarships, and improve transparency between leaders and residents.

“I can relate to a lot of the issues these students and families are facing,” the 39-year-old mother of five said. “We have to make opportunities readily available to students in our neighborhoods and it can be done through reliable support systems.”

On May 28, Medina received endorsements from Assemblymember Jose Medina (D-Riverside; no relation), Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzales (D-Oceanside), and from the California Latino Caucus Leadership political action committee.

Medina previously worked as the

senior parent organizer for the Congregation Organized for Prophetic Engagement (COPE), as well as vice-president of SBCUSD’s English Learners’ Advisory Council (ELAC), and was a member of several district councils. In 2013, she was encouraged by community residents to run for a seat on the board. That year she defeated incumbent Judi Penman in a tightly-contested election— winning by 61 votes.

"As Chair of the State Assembly Committee on Higher Education, I am proud to endorse Abigail Medina for Assembly, a fellow education leader and advocate who brings years of experience in creating educational opportunities and equity for all students in San Bernardino County,” Assemblyman Medina said. “The families of the 40th Assembly District deserve her leadership in Sacramento.”

Medina said education will be vital for the rebuilding of the local economy and the retention of young qualified employees.

“We want to make sure when these students graduate from high school and college that they will thrive in these communities,” she said. “They need to receive employment, be employable, and be able to compete in jobs that are in demand. Let’s create opportunities here in our own communities.”

Center provides free lunches, snacks to Redlands youth

ontinuing with its efforts in providing a free, hot, nutritious meal for youth 17 and under, the Redlands Community Center will begin serving free lunches and snacks this summer from June 15 through August 7. With a substantial percentage of youth who qualify for free meals through the Redlands Unified School District, this program is critical to ensuring that youth continue to receive nutritious meals when school is out of session.

“A lot of families count on the school lunch program, and some, unfortunately, don’t have access to resources to provide a nutritious meal for their kids,” said Dave Jaffe, Redlands Community Center Recreational Coordinator.”

Our program is important because it provides the opportunity for those families to access a fresh, hot meal.

Funding for the program comes from Project 180 and Still Standing. This year the city of Redlands Development Services Department, which also coordinates the weekly Market Night, had granted funding to purchase produce from local farmers to further enhance the program.

According to Jaffe this is unique from past years because all the food served will be locally grown.

When school is back in session, the community center will shift to provide free dinners for youth 17 and under, as well as snacks. The year-long program serves an average of 300 youth each day.

According to Jaffe families learn about the program through the

school district, flyer distribution and the Redlands Boys & Girls Club, as well as different local community groups.

“This is a wonderful program and it’s critical that we are able to provide kids in our community with a fresh, hot and nutritious meal,” Jaffe concluded.

Serving time for lunch will be from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by snack from 4 to 5 p.m. Food will be served on a first-come, firstserved basis.

No registration is required however if participants have any food allergies please notify the Community Center prior to receiving food.

Menus’ with serving portions are available at the beginning of each month.

For questions please call (909) 798-7579, or visit the center at 111 W. Lugonia Ave.

Cal High rallies to beat San G in CIF quarterfinals

By Richard Dawson

dominant effort by California High starter Daniel Alvarez and a two-run triple by Mike Elliott in the sixth ended San Gorgonio’s baseball season with a 4-1 defeat during the CIF-SS Division 4 quarterfinal at San Gorgonio High School on Friday, May 29.

Alvarez struck out nine Spartans while limiting the offense to one run on six hits and two walks over seven innings.

San Gorgonio starter Hazahel Quijuada was equally dominant, carrying a no-hitter and a 1-0 lead through five innings, but things fell apart in the sixth.

Quijuada issued a walk and hit a batter to put two on with one out.

Then a wild-pitch to Mike Elliott advanced the runners to second and third. The Condors’ freshman hit the next pitch to deep center for a two-run triple and the 2-1 lead.

Elliott came in to score on a single

by Alvarez one batter later to make it 3-1. An RBI double in by Eric Sotello in the seventh made it 4-1.

It was the first loss of the season for Quijada, who allowed three runs on two hits and five walks while striking out three as the San Andreas League champs finish the year 23-5-1.

California (26-5) moves on to the semifinals and will host Phelan Serrano on Tuesday, June 2. It is

the second consecutive year the Condors have reached the semis.

With the game scoreless, the Spartans looked poised to have a big fourth inning but squandered the opportunity. Quijada doubled and singles by Adan Alvarado and Dylan Konoho loaded the bases with one out.

Alvarez buckled down and induced Dillon Brown and Bryan Rivera into consecutive fielder’s choices to end the threat.

Miguel Arauz almost single handily got San Gorgonio on the board in the fifth. Aruaz reached with a two-out single, stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a single by Jason Wright.

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 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-659828-BF .

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

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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 Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

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, 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9411-8442.

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. 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.

n May 15, a 20-hour Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training was held at the main San Bernardino Fire Station. It's the Fire Department's 7th CERT Academy. Twelve people participated in the training that was cosponsored by the San Bernardino Police Department. The Police Department was assigned the Emergency Operations responsibility for the city. San Bernardino Police Sergeant Eric Fyvie was part of the trailing team and was present during the entire training process. The two main training instructors were Captain Rolf Lindblom and Fire Engineer Brent Berkompas who is also the CERT Program Manager for the Fire Department.

All of the participants were either residents of the City of San Bernardino or city employees.

Councilman John Valdivia and City Clerk Gigi Hanna were among the CERT trainees.

The CERT training Manuel states, "CERT is a critical program in the effort to engage everyone in America in making their communities safer, more prepared and more resilient when incidents occur." Repeated several times during the class was that CERT members are to: "Do the greatest good for the greatest number of people." It was stated during class that the large 8.0 Mexico earth-

quake of 1985 killed several thousands of people. The immediate community's response after the shock resulted in the saving of 800 lives from the rubble. However, 100 untrained rescuers were killed during the process. The CERT training will enable trained volunteers to safely approach an incident, evaluate the situation, and respond only to the boundaries of their training capabilities and report those who are trapped and require professional rescue.

With the looming 7.5 magnitude earthquake that has been predicted for the San Bernardino area, everyone in the community should take CERT training. Captain Lindblom stated that there would be more classes held in the near future.

CERT volunteers once registered in San Bernardino, will be placed on a list of CERT trained and qualified volunteers with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security per Sergeant Fyvie.

The CERT training included: Team work training, safety precautions, Incident Command System (ICS) training, hazards and potential impacts, light search and rescue and the proper markings to place on structures, turning off utilities, fire extinguisher usage, first aid and CPR procedures, Disaster Psychology, terrorism and several table top exercises and a practical exam, which includes the extraction of an unconscious victim.

Captain Lindblom said, "Participating in Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training is an excellent way to increase the security and resiliency of your family and community. You get to meet your local firefighters, while having a bit of fun.”

Councilperson Valdivia commented, "I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn and prepare for emergencies. The course offered by our SBFD is free and has various course offerings in coming weeks. I have an immense appreciation for the CERT training seminar and encourage our community members to become CERT trained.

The tips and training are valuable and highly useful as we plan and prepare for future events. Protect your family, loved ones and neighbors!"

On Sunday May 17, 11 CERT members of the 7th Academy were awarded their certificates of training. Future classes will be taught in modules, according to Chief Lindblom. So if a CERT trainee

misses a portion of the class they only need to retake the part of the class they missed and not retake the entire 20-hour course over again.

The names of past CERT members are being track down and will

be given to the Police Department.

The CERT members will be assigned under the Emergency Response Manager at the Police Department.

Chief Lindblom said that he would commit and return to in-

struct future CERT classes regardless of what the future of the San Bernardino's Fire Department may be. Chief Lindblom's commitment to the city and the CERT program should be commended.

hen a call to help others arises, Inland Empire residents are no strangers to answering.

Hundreds of locals from Redlands, Fontana and throughout the San Bernardino Valley-area came together May 30 spending their summer-like Sunday morning responding to the humanitarian crisis in Nepal by packing 50,000 meals for delivery to the earthquakestricken capital and the area’s hard-hit villages.

In classic assembly line-style, volunteers of all ages filled an area of the parking lot of the Tri-City Shopping Center in Redlands, carefully sorting, measuring, filling and sealing the thousands of food bags by hand. Each plastic bag contained rice, dehydrated vegetables and soy protein — a complete meal to feed six people.

Sunday’s gathering was part of Dream Dinners of Redlands’ volunteer meal packing event to help feed and meet the needs of underprivileged families globally.

While most of the packaged meals

will be shipped to Nepal through Dream Dinners’ partnership with Friends and Family Connection, about one-third of the meals will remain local to benefit YouthHope in Redlands, said Stephanie Carnes, owner of Dream Dinners Redlands.

This is the first large-scale relief aid service organized by the Inland-based group since recently partnering with Friends and Family.

Carnes says she doesn’t plan on it being the last.

“The response from the community in their wanting to help is unbelievable,” she said. “The community connection has me on the verge of tears.”

And efforts to support the cause was near and dear to even the younger volunteers.

Twelve-year-old Michael Zepeda wanted to do whatever he could to help.

“I think it’s really cool how we can make a difference for families by just taking a couple hours out of our time,” he said while measuring out a scoop of protein. “I don’t mind spending my day here
