after a complete investigation, explained the incident is a civil matter, not a criminal issue.

Resident Maria Benitez--who lives in the 1800 block of N. Watwood Avenue--purchased Fertilizer and Seed/Topping ser-

vices from gardener Eduardo Lopez on August 12. According to Benitez, Lopez informed her that the fertilizer was organic and drought resistant.

California Assessment of Student Performance Progress Released

T

oday the California Department of Education released the first year’s results of new online tests designed to gauge students’ progress in learning new, more rigorous standards, setting a baseline to mark future strides toward preparing them for careers and college.

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) results measure student skills in English language arts and mathematics, based on new tests that shift focus away from traditional, multiple choice exams and toward a greater emphasis on problemsolving skills, performance tasks and critical thinking.

“Education is undergoing a huge transformation,” CJUSD Superintendent Jerry Almendarez said. “Our Board of Education and district administration are extremely proud of the work of our teachers and students to adapt to such a monumental change.”

Because both the academic standards being tested and the exams themselves are dramatically different from the previous Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) system, this year’s results represent a starting point and should not be compared to predecessors. Also, in many cases, new textbooks and materials reflecting the standards are still being developed.

The Colton Joint Unified School District began last year to leverage funds through its Local Control and Accountability Plan toward increasing student performance and preparing them for the new exams.

Maria Benitez’s lawn as it stands.

Scam cont. from front

After providing a brief demonstration of how the product works (it consisted of Lopez sprinkling fertilizer on the grass and watering it), the gardener explained to Benitez that the fertilizer sold at $8 per bag. She was then encouraged by Lopez to reseed her lawn with Marathon Sod (perennial grass) instead of St. Augustine.

“This is why I feel so duped,” she explained. “My ex-husband was a landscaper and I remember him reseeding the lawn with St. Augustine seed. ‘We watered the grass three times a day’, I told the gardener. ‘Not this kind,’ he told me. ‘This you only have to water twice a week for two minutes and it will grow.’”

After Lopez reseeded the lawn and placed the fertilizer on the soil, he wrote an invoice (without a company name or central location) for 35 bags of fertilizer, amounting to approximately $1500.

“I didn’t have that type of money,” she said. “But I know

how hard these people work. I understand. So in good faith, I paid them for the services. I gave them $500 in cash and a check for $800.”

What concerned Benitez thereafter was the rapidness of Benitez’s cashing of the check, as well as the name he told her to write the check under.

“He told me to make the check out William Menjivar,” said Benitez. “They told me they would be back in two weeks to check on the progress of the grass. I was never contacted. This was a scheme.

This is not a fertilizer. It’s just mulch.”

She alluded that Eduardo Lopez and William Menjivar could be the same person. Lopez did not respond to numerous calls.

Last week during the City Council meeting, Benitez expressed her concerns to council members and police staff.

“I’m here to ask for your help and make the city aware of the scam that a lot of the citizens are falling victim of,” she said. “I

have gone to the police department with no avail. Something needs to be done about this. I need help from somebody.”

Corporal Ray Mendez said the department went “above and beyond” to inquire about the civil complaint. He explained that the incident was investigated by a detective. After thorough analysis, it was determined that services were performed and rendered and mutually agreed upon.

“We provided her with copious amounts of information,” Mendez said. “The incident was investigated by a detective. We determined that it is a civil case. We encouraged her to seek legal counsel and follow up with an attorney.”

Councilman David Toro--whose district encompasses Benitez’s home--said it is an unfortunate situation that he hopes is resolved.

“It’s unfortunate someone was a victim of fraud,” he said. “If this is the case, we have to do everything we can to stop this person and solve the issue.”

for the late Huell Howser, former host of KCET’s California Gold.

He is expected to speak about his highly acclaimed career which lasted over 40 years.

The media specialist has won numerous awards. He is the winner of five Emmy, Golden Mic’s for editing, the International Monitor Award, and has received awards from the State of California and the County of San Bernardino for speaking and mentoring youth in working class communities. In addition, Fuerte received awards from Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles, was awarded Latino of the Year 2008, and received the “Salt of the Earth" Award in 2001.

Fuerte was born in San Bernardino, grew up in Colton, and graduated from Colton High School. After leaving Colton, he enlisted in the Navy and attended

San Bernardino Valley College, where he studied telecommunications engineering. CAM has honored Fuerte as a “Hometown Hero”.

CAM president Mike Murphy, who attended a “room-packed” Fuerte lecture organized by the San Bernardino Historical Society in July, said he encourages residents to learn about the cameraman’s story. He believes it is a testament of where hard work can get you.

“He is obviously a popular speaker and a very down to earth individual,” said Murphy. “He is a local talent. His story emphasizes what can be done when you stay in school and work hard. It is a part of our responsibility to try to educate the community through these speakers.”

Reunion: This month my husband and I will attend our San Bernardino High School Class Reunion. Unfortunately, it is the same night as the judging and selection of Miss Cardinal City, but I look forward to catching up with classmates since our numbers get smaller each time we gather. Because the venue is in Hollywood many of our local classmates will probably not attend. Earlier this year many of us (especially from the Westside and Southside of San Bernardino) gathered at the Mexico Cafe to catch up on where life has taken us since we graduated in the early sixties. Some went immediately to work while many of our male classmates were drafted and went to Viet Nam. A few of us went on to college and many of those present did continue their education and have retired recently from their jobs. We exchanged stories and enjoyed each other's company.

Let's do it again as San Bernardino High School gets ready to celebrate its 100th year at its location at 1850 North E Street on Friday, November 6th. The Arrowhead Parlor #110 Native Sons of the Golden West will make a presentation at SBHS's homecoming game against our old rival - Pacific High School. Go Cardinals!

San Bernardino City Unified School District Board Member

Our children deserve to breathe clean air

C

hildren who suffer from asthma tend to fall sick, miss school days, and fall behind in their studies. They skip outside activities and important opportunities. For many children in our community, growing up near freeways, power plants, railways and industrial sites can mean that they’re at a higher risk of developing asthma and other lung related disease. Cutting our petroleum use in half will result in healthier, happier kids, and that is reason alone. We need our legislators in San Bernardino County to support SB 350 and SB 32, bills that reduce our dependence on damaging fossil fuels and replace them with clean energy.

Growing up, I faced challenges in school, some educational and some environmental. I began my work in education to ensure all children have access to quality education. What I’ve learned along the way is that health has a lot to do with a child getting a good education and being able to take advantage of the opportunities around them. Our students need to be healthy enough to attend school on a regular basis and poor air quality is standing in the way of that. Asthma, which is strongly linked to smog pollution, is the number one reason kids miss school in California. Here in San Bernardino, we can, and must, do better.

If you live in the San Bernardino area you know what reliance on

fossil fuels looks like, you can see it. Yellow-orange, grayish, dense smog that sits there for days, you can feel yourself breathing in particles. Some days we can barely see our San Bernardino mountains. As a parent of five, those are the days when I keep my children indoors.

San Bernardino’s working families, especially Latino and African American communities living closer to freeways, power plants, railways and industrial sites are often at a higher risk of developing breathing complications.

Some of our families have lived in these neighborhoods for generations, while others cannot afford to live elsewhere. Parents are forced to raise their children in neighborhoods with severe air quality issues and because of this, youth of color our region are two to six times more likely to die due to asthma.

The solution is clear – we need to improve our air quality. I’ve seen firsthand how these dangerous pollutants affect children’s lungs. As a school board member I supported efforts to remove gas tanks with heavy fumes from our school’s neighborhoods. Our district bought air purifiers for schools such as Ramona Alessandro Elementary, but it’s not enough – our kids deserve to play outside.

The good news is that our air has improved due to smart policies that capitalize on our clean energy potential. California’s landmark climate and clean energy law, AB 32, has created billions of dollars in funding that is being invested in communities similar to ours, cutting air pollution, and creating good clean energy jobs. Bike lanes, bus rapid transit, and affordable housing close to public transportation are just some of the projects that could be funded. But we still have a long way to go until we can say our air is safe for our kids. Now is the time to take the next ambitious step to lower our emissions in the Inland Empire, improve our air quality, and help our children stay healthy and in school.

All children in our communities deserve clean air. When we have healthy communities, we have healthy students who can reach their full potential. We need our Assemblymembers to pass SB 350 and SB 32 and to bring in AB 32 dollars and resources to our region. By cutting our ties with fossil fuels and supporting smart bills, they can do what is right for their constituents while investing in our children’s future.

Legacy of Exemplary Service Awards

Libreria Del Pueblo was founded nearly thirty-five years ago. Our goal is to help immigrant families transition into American society.

We provide social, health, immigration and citizenship services.

In the midst of hurtful statements against the immigrant community, we have witnessed government leaders take positions against the immigrant community. These words cause hate and division in our country. Many immigrants have made tremendous contributions to this great nation we call home. We are witnessing a wave of anti-immigrant sentiments not only in the United States, but other parts of the world where people are fleeing war and poverty.

These antagonistic statements are being voiced to a degree not seen since before World War II. It’s reminiscent of the anti-Semitic feelings voiced in Germany before the war which eventually led to the holocaust. I thank the Lord

As my wife and I celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary this past August, we looked back on 1964.

My wife, born and raised in San Bernardino, had just graduated from Pacific High School. I was an Air Force EMT stationed at the now-forgotten Norton Air Force Base. We met on E Street (where everybody under 20 years old was on Friday and Saturday night), while cruising in my newly purchased ($600) 1956 Chevy.

My fellow Airman and I took the famous cruise (re-enacted in the movie “American Graffiti”). The cruise began at the “Big M” as we all called it (the first McDonald’s), following the route down E Street, past Kress’s, JC Penney’s, Harris Co. and Sages, among other of the wonderful stores lining the street.

As we reached Second Street, we turned and headed back to the “Big M.” There was no violence

other than occasional traffic tickets for loud pipes (some guys put glass packs, known as loud mufflers, on their cars).

To celebrate our anniversary, we took that drive again this year.

Tears ran down both of our eyes.

Our message to good neighbors in this once-beautiful city: Take back your town!

that we have a leader with the moral fortitude to stand up against this growing cancer that can only tear our country apart. Bishop Barnes stood up to the actions of a civic leader in Murrieta and reminded us that we have a moral responsibility to provide temporary housing to immigrant children and their families. He stated that he would find the housing for these children and families in his Diocese. Not many, if any, have taken a similar position, we are honored to recognize him. We are all God’s children and we should be treated with dignity and mercy.

Words to Think About: Significant Events

S

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

eventy years ago World War II came to an end. Obviously the two atomic bombs-on Hiroshima and Nagasaki precipitated it.

In my 88 years I’ve experienced two major national events: the Great Depression and the end of the war with the Nazis and Japan.

There are three events related to the conflict that are relatively obscure, but are significant. The first one is about the thousands of Japanese/Americans that were imprisoned. About 112,500 were interred in the concentration camps.

Recently Rosie Marcki Kakcuochi recalled the three years that she and her family were prisoners. She is now 88 years old, but was taken when she was 15 years old. Now living in Las Vegas, she

recently said, “We were treated like enemies.” The executive order signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt- no. 9066- in February, 1942 created military exclusion zones and ten camps on the West Coast, run by the military.

The camps were set up in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. The order signed by the President said, “The successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and sabotage.”

Regardless of how long the Japanese/Americans had been in our country, they were presumed to be potential enemies.

Many historians regard this act as one of the most disgraceful chapters of U.S. history.

Rosie and her family ended up in a camp called Manzanar, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The conditions were horrible. “The weather was like an oven in summer and a freezer in winter.”

The housing was barrack style and everyone was cramped.

Everyone had to do manual labor and the rules were strict. On their release each prisoner was given $20.00 and a ticket home.

In 1988 our government paid reparation to the camp survivors.

Each one received $20,000.

Thanks to President Ronald Reagan.

The battle for the Aleutian Islands began on June 2, 1942. The Japanese had troops, and military defenses on the Islands of Attu and Kiska. Their reasoning was that if they controlled the islands closest to Japan it would be a strong defense to protect the Japan homeland.

Both islands were and are desolate and inhospitable. The weather was unbelievably bad. Cold, snow, wet and windy. The islands also provided easy access to the mainland of Alaska. Invasion by the Japanese was always an option.

The invasion of Attu and Kiska was the only U.S. soil the Japanese would claim during the war in the Pacific.

The original people of the Aleutian Islands were known as the Ugandan but were renamed as Aleuts by the Russians. The 40 Aleuts were taken prisoner by the Japanese.

The construction of the Alcan Highway was an essential part of the Aleutian battle. When the Japanese invaded the islands, there were only a few thousand U.S. soldiers in Alaska. Within eight months the highway was completed. Two groups, one from Skagway and the other from Fairbanks met and it was dedicated on November 20, 1942. It was started on March 8, 1942. Two

hundred thousand U.S. soldiers were transported over the highway.

Ninety four thousand soldiers invaded Attu Island, and approximately 2000 Japanese were killed.

One thousand Americans were killed. Later when the island of Kiska was invaded, the Japanese had left the island under a heavy fog, the night before.

On September 2, 1945 Japan formerly surrendered to the Allies, to end World War II. Stella and I have visited Astoria, Oregon and surrounding area, several times. Fort Clatsop, the replica of the Lewis and Clark expedition is a must to see. But equally important is Fort Stevens Park. Only a few miles south of Astoria, it is memorable to visit.

Why? Because it is the only location on the U.S. mainland that was bombed by the Japanese. It is interesting to note the co-ordination of the Japanese in the bombing of Fort Stevens and their attack on the island of Attu. They both began in June, 1942.

On June 21 a Japanese submarine, under the command of Tagami Meiji, had been assigned to destroy all enemy ships and engage the enemy on land, on the West Coast of the U.S. The submarine had a crew of 97 men.

There were minefields all along the West Coast, but the sub fol-

lowed the fishing boats to avoid the mines in the Oregon area. The submarine surfaced on the night of June 21, on the mouth of the Columbia River. The target was Fort Stevens.

The fort was established during the days of the Civil War and in 1942 was armed with obsolete artillery. There were very few guns and less than a 100 men in the Fort.

A heavy barrage focused on the fort but the commander had ordered a blackout and they did not return fire. The Japanese failed to hit anything. The shots were harmless. According to military records, the only thing hit was a baseball field and a small swamp.

Today there are still a few shells in the vicinity of the Fort. Seventeen shellings were fired by the Japanese sailors.

A unique method of attack was to attach bombs to several balloons, allowing them to get in the air and then shooting the balloons, with the bombs dropping on the Fort. Nothing was hit.

Several American aircraft spotted the submarine, but it submerged and the Japanese escaped.

Thus ended the only attack on the U.S. mainland during World War II. Amen. Selah. So be it.

According to Telice Ostrinski, Homeless Facilitator, this is a game changer for homeless students who have struggled to graduate in the past due to insufficient credits.

Now there will be partial credit given rather than none at all; they will be able to graduate with adjusted credits.

Homeless families with students are strongly urged to sign up for this program.

“This is a great program for (homeless) students who don’t have stability, they can get on the road to graduate and hopefully to a college,” Ostrinski said. “A lot of students are on their own at a young age and still trying to get an education.”

AB 167 removes barriers and allows for students to apply for fed-

eral student loans without having to provide their parents’ income information or address, which, Ostrinski emphasized, will pave the way for more youth to pursue higher education.

Lee wants to underscore to the community that a Homeless program does indeed exist within the school district and encourages parents and guardians who find themselves in the very challenging predicament of suffering homelessness to reach out to the department, which will provide valuable resources to families in transition. In addition, the most important fact for families to be aware of is that students do not need to transfer out of their school of origin.

For more information on the district’s Homeless program, please call (909) 880-4057.

SB School district offers valuable resources for homeless students and their families

Photo courtesy SBCUSD Family Resource Center The Homeless program of the San Bernardino City Unified School District provides valuable support and resources to students in transition. One of the primary goals is to keep the student at the school of origin; not many parents are aware that if they live out of the school’s jurisdiction due to homelessness, their child can, and is encouraged to, stay at the home school, and the homeless program will facilitate that.

he homeless student population in the San Bernardino City Unified School District rose from 3,400 last year to 4,188. The statistic is based per year and not on a cumulative basis. The rise could be attributed to the great efforts taken by the school district in reaching out to homeless families, erasing the stigma attached to homelessness and effectively enabling families to come forward.

According to SBCUSD Homeless Liaison Vicky Lee, the primary goal of the Homeless program is to

reduce barriers for students while they are in transition. The main objective is to provide consistency for the student by any means necessary to allow the student to remain at their school of origin before becoming homeless. This would include transportation to and from school, providing a study space or tutoring, school supplies, and referrals for the family.

Lee maintains that the chances for student success is greater when they remain at their home school, but not all parents or guardians are aware that they need not transfer their student because they’re living out of the stated jurisdiction.

“The biggest problem is that (par-

ents) think it’s a crime to be homeless and they don’t reach out to us because they think we’ll report them and their kids will be taken away,” Lee explained about why more families don’t reach out to ask for support. “Many will reach out once they’re comfortable with us or they know others receiving our services.”

A new and significant change is how the law views homeless students and graduation requirements – homeless students will now be regarded the same as foster children who are only required to meet state mandated graduation requirements. The homeless student population was recently absorbed into

A Day In History: September 16, 1810 The Mexican War of Independence Begins

M

iguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launches the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or "Cry of Dolores," The revolutionary tract, so-named because it was publicly read by Hidalgo in the town of Dolores, called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land, and racial equality. Thousands of Indians and mestizos flocked to Hidalgo's banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and soon the peasant army was on the march to Mexico City.

In the early 19th century, Napoleon's occupation of Spain led to the outbreak of revolts all across Spanish America. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla--"the father of Mexican independence"-launched the Mexican rebellion with his "Cry of Delores," and his populist army came close to capturing the Mexican capital. Defeated at Calderón in January

1811, he fled north but was captured and executed. He was followed by other peasant leaders, however, such as José María Morelos y Pavón, Mariano Matamoros, and Vicente Guerrero, who all led armies of native and racially mixed revolutionaries against the Spanish and the Royalists.

Ironically, it was the Royalists-made up of Mexicans of Spanish descent and other conservatives-who ultimately brought about independence. In 1820, liberals took power in Spain, and the new government promised reforms to appease the Mexican revolutionaries.

In response, Mexican conservatives called for independence as a means of maintaining their privileged position in Mexican society.

In early 1821, Agustín de Iturbide, the leader of the Royalist forces, negotiated the Plan of Iguala with Vicente Guerrero.

Under the plan, Mexico would be established as an independent con-

stitutional monarchy, the privileged position of the Catholic Church would be maintained, and Mexicans of Spanish descent would be regarded as equal to pure Spaniards. Mexicans of mixed or pure Indian blood would have lesser rights.

Iturbide defeated the Royalist forces still opposed to independence, and the new Spanish viceroy, lacking money, provisions, and troops, was forced to accept Mexican independence. On August 24, 1821, Spanish Viceroy Juan de O'Donojú signed the Treaty of Córdoba, which approves a plan to make Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy. In 1822, as no Bourbon monarch to rule Mexico had been found, Iturbide was proclaimed the emperor of Mexico. However, his empire was short-lived, and in 1823 republican leaders Santa Anna and Guadalupe Victoria deposed Iturbide and set up a republic, with Guadalupe Victoria as its first president.

Art Exhibit at County Museum highlights diversity of Latin America

rt pieces from around the Latin American region will be on display at the San Bernardino County Museum through September 27.

The Inland Empire Latino Art

Association (IELAA) is putting on the exhibit in commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month. The “Non-Traditional Experience” theme that was chosen for this year’s event reflects the diversity of each artist.

IELAA chairman Rudy Ramirez said the art works of the artists

provides insight on the experiences and expressions that defines the Hispanic community.

“This exhibit demonstrates the diversity of cultures across Latin America,” said Ramirez. “These images represent what it means to be Latino. I think it’s important people see the vast talents of these Latino artists.”

Featured Inland Empire artists include Rudy Ramirez, Ernie Colunga, Brad Borrero, and Thomas (Bear) Ramirez. The international artists include Paola Cabrera of Bolivia, Maria Huidobro of Mexico, and Klaus Pinter of Austria.

Founded in 1985, when several artists were invited by educators Dr. Tom and Lily Rivera to exhibit artwork at their Grand Terrace home, the IELAA continues to be spearheaded by founding members Rudy Ramirez and Ernie Colunga.

Together with many other local Latino artists, the association participates in art exhibits across Southern California and holds two Latino Heritage Month exhibits every year.

The group is also aiming to reinvigorate the Arts across the Inland region.

“We want to promote the arts in the Inland Empire,” Ramirez told IECN last September. “It would be nice to bring the arts back to San Bernardino and Colton. We could possibly encourage students from high schools and colleges to showcase their artwork.”

A reception for the show will be held on Friday from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

Guests are encouraged to interact with the artists. For more information, contact Rudy Ramirez at (951) 544-1723.

Community Hope Festival aims to reinvigorate pride among San Bernardino residents

any residents of San Bernardino’s second ward are afflicted by poverty, substance abuse, and frustration.

Lala Hernandez--leader with the church’s Prison Ministry--expressed during the Community Hope Festival at the Way World Outreach Center’s Downtown Ministry that many residents are beginning to lose hope. Like many of the other church’s leaders, she is devoted to reinvigorating pride among the community by giving resources and offering services.

“Everyday we have something going on,” she said. “Whether it’s helping residents with anger management, alcohol and drug recovery, or offering a safe space for children, we provide assistance.

It’s time to bring the City of San Bernardino together.”

During the festival on Saturday September 5, nearby residents received free haircuts, meals, and information on how to receive free assistance from county and private agencies. In addition, a Chili Bean Cook Off competition, live music testimonies, and other activities were held for families to enjoy.

“We’re simply out here letting

the community know that we love them,” said Prison Ministries Pastor Ernie Ceballos. “We’re having a good time. The message here today is hope.”

Since 2004, Way World Outreach Ministries---under Pastor Marco

Garcia's leadership---has provided hope to the “lost and the needy” through prayer and mentorship.

The faith-based organization has established two venues of outreach that has brought a major spiritual shift in the city, according to Ceballos.

Pastor Eric Torres--who is in charge of the Spanish Ministry-believes the word of God can help residents in San Bernardino find purpose and hope in their lives.

“There’s a breakdown in our society due to the lack of relationship with God,” he said. “When they establish this, they gain hope and purpose in life. That’s our aim--to help people create this relationship and build partnerships with the community and build a strong foundation.”

The Way World Outreach Center’s Downtown Ministry is planning on holding Community Hope Festivals quarterly (or every three months). The next event is planned for sometime in December. For more information, contact the center at (909) 884-7117.

Kaiser crushes San G behind Johnson's 3 scores

I

t was a solid performance all-around by Kaiser, but senior running back stole the show with 231 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the Cats 357 home win over San Gorgonio on Friday, September 4.

Operating an up-tempo offense, the Cats (1-0) scored touchdowns on each of the four first-half possessions.

On Kaiser's opening drive, they offense went 70 yards on 12 plays over three and a half minutes. Joshua Johnson capped off the drive with a 3-yard score, the first of his three touchdowns on the night.

The Spartans (1-1) got on the board after a short kickoff gave them the ball at the Cats 46.

Three plays later, quarterback Kaleb Hayes ran 44-yards for a touchdown just before halftime to make it 28-7 A week after beating Citrus Valley 34-7, San Gorgonio had a tough time finding a groove on offense.

Earlier in the half the Spartans nearly pulled off a well-timed double pass that looked like an easy long score, but the pass was dropped by a wide-open receiver.

San G looked poised to score on its opening drive of the third quarter, marching down to the Kaiser 5.

Kaiser senior defensive end Armani Dodson came up big on back-to-back plays however, as he knocked down what might have been a touchdown pass on third down and then he sacked Hayes on fourth down to stifle the drive.

Malik McGee and Renado Nelson each intercepted Kaiser quarterback Tyreque Jones, but the rushing attack by the Cats was too much to overcome.

Jones scored a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Both teams play on September 11 as Kaiser plays at Cajon and San Gorgonio play at home against Glendora.

Fontana grad Jonathan Suarez moving up soccer ranks; gets D-1 pro contract in Mexico

onathan Suarez could have signed a professional soccer contract and left Fontana High School instead sticking around for his senior year to play high school soccer. Suarez did not take the money and run, nor did he choose to play soccer exclusively at the high-profiled private academy level.

"Yes. There were a number of professional teams who wanted to sign Johnny during high school," said his soccer coach at Fontana Erik Espino. "Soccer, unlike other sports you can sign a pro contract no matter your age.

Johnny could have signed to play in Mexico before his senior year but wanted to play in high school with his friends that he grew up with. Plus his parents are extremely proud of him and push him to succeed in school."

His decision to stay in high school and not impulsively jump at the first money has already been an investment that has paid off nicely. Not only did Suarez lead FoHi to its seventh league title in eight years, he was the CIF-Southern Section Division 2, player of the year. Likewise he was named to the first team by both the Press Enterprise and San

Bernardino County Sun newspapers. Suarez helped Fontana to a 22-2-2 record, good for a #2 ranking in CIF-SS, Division 2.

Suarez eventually signed right after the high school soccer season and left in February for Buenos Aires, Argentina where he played for the Dock Sud development team. He came back to Fontana after the season to graduate with his class. But he was quickly signed again, this time by the higher level Porto FC of Quertaro, Portugal.

Espino, who now is Kaiser High School's coach stays in contact with Suarez and says good things are happening at a fast pace for his former player. "He is getting offers from other teams in Portugal and one in Sweden is getting serious. Johnny has made the right decisions and is taking advantage of his opportunities," said Espino, Espino acknowledged that Suarez didn't necessarily like school work. A bio provided to the Hubbs Foundation by FoHi Athletic Director Brandon Colbrunn, showed Suarez graduated with a 2.5 GPA, yet did get a 3.2 during his senior year. Suarez's overall body of work at FoHi included assisting with the Special

Olympics and won the school's Ken Hubbs Award nomination.

"Johnny developed his own personality in the summer between his junior and senior year.

He wanted the ball at his feet," recalled Espino. "He was your typical immature 16-year-old kid who as a senior started realizing his ability. I really got to know him. If he keeps his mind right he will become a great professional soccer player."

Colbrunn told that Suarez already has left high marks at Fontana after breaking most of the school's scoring records set

by Major League Soccer great Ante Rozov, who graduated in 1992 and went on to an illustrious 14-year-year career. Suarez scored 44 goals this season to lead the CIF-SS while breaking FoHi's single season record. His season mark was tied for #3 in state. He added 25 assists. His 65 career goals are also a new standard at Fontana.

"Johnny is always working without the ball. He just makes things happen," said Espino. (At press time, Espino said Suarez has left Portugal and signed a contract to play for a Division I team in Mexico).

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 800758-8052 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site for www.homesearch.com information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004732190. 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.

Drought-tolerant gardens growing at fire stations in Redlands W

By Yazmin Alvarez

ork is underway to transform water-necessary landscaping at fire stations in Redlands into drought-tolerant gardens.

Renovations at Fire Station No. 261, 525 E. Citrus Ave., in downtown began in late August and are part of the city’s Water Efficiency Landscape Project.

As part of the project, all city fire stations will be relandscaped to feature xeriscape gardens, a land-

scaping and gardening technique that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation.

Fire Station No. 261's plant palette was designed with a "Califriendly" theme, a plant palette with variation in color and California climate-friendly, according to a news release.

Enhancements to the landscaping are expected to be completed by the end of the month.

Design elements for fire stations along Garden Street, Pennsylvania Avenue and Park Avenue are cur-

rently in the works, officials said, and each station will features landscaping designed with different plant palette themes: Mediterranean, inland foothill or native, to provide the public with examples of different drought-tolerant plants that help promote water conservation.

The City Council awarded the contract Aug. 3 for the No. 261 fire station project to Redlands-based TLC Landscape Services Inc. for $35,839.65.

Project costs will be funded by the city’s water rebate fund, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and a Proposition 84 grant. No general fund dollars will be used to construct the project, the release said.

The Water Efficiency Landscape Project is designed and will be managed by the City of Redlands
