Rialto police bring smiles to youngsters at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital

Yazmin Alvarez

ith sirens roaring, Rialto police headed to Loma Linda Children’s Hospital Tuesday, but it wasn’t on a call to combat crime. Instead, it was a rush to bring smiles to the faces of the dozens of children that are patients at the hospital. For the first time, more than a dozen members of the Rialto Police Department joined several Southern California law enforcement agencies to participate in the annual Cops for Kids Fly-In. Marking its 17th year, the event brings law enforcement and military members to deliver toys to patients at the children’s hospital in a very big way. The delivery starts with a grand entrance of four law enforcement helicopters hovering over the hospital and landing on the lawn, followed by a parade of Cops for Kids, cont. on next pg.

Rialto Job Fair

job fair is planned from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 29 at 214 N Palm avenue in Rialto. To learn more about what to bring or for more information, call 909-820-2540.

sirens from police motorcycles, squad cars and SWAT vehicles — all while young patients and their families stand in awe and excitement. “It’s the greatest feeling seeing happiness come from the kids,” said Rialto police Ofc. Dwuan Rice. “The kids were all stoked seeing us.” After the grand arrival, patients were able to interact with officers, step into helicopter cockpits and jump into law enforcement vehicles. Each child received a sticker and a gift from an officer. For those patients too sick to leave their rooms, officers made a special delivery and handed toys personally to children. Rice said the feeling of gratitude was overwhelming. “I had two kids say, you guys made our day,” he said. “Just hearing that brings a smile to my face and is a reminder that no matter what our public perception is, we do good in the community, not because we have to, but because it’s the right thing to do. That’s the side of policing we need to see.” Rice said the department plans to participate in next year’s event, with hopefully a larger turnout and more volunteers.

Vote Yes on Measure L

The San Bernardino City Charter, which determines the structure and functioning of city government, is ancient, outmoded, obsolete and hung like an anchor around taxpayers' necks for much too long. The Charter has been identified as one of the key factors contributing to the city's bankruptcy. We have the distinction of proportionally competing with Detroit for poverty. Our city is considered one of the most violent, for it's size, in California. The social and economic decline in San Bernardino did not suddenly sneak up unexpectedly from nowhere. There are reasons

why San Bernardino has fared such economic decline and diminished quality of life while surrounding municipalities have not. Ironically, we are being warned by political icons from yesteryear, like former (elected) city attorney Jim Penman, and former mayor Judith Valles, that if we pass Measure L and do away with the old charter, San Bernardino taxpayers will lose their ability to hold local politicians accountable and lose the "direct election of watchdog city officials" (The Sun, 9-25-16). One of the problems under the old charter is that the watchdogs

were not accountable to the taxpayers but actually more beholden to the public employee unions. Keeping the old charter and expecting a different and better outcome brings to mind a Latin saying: Res Ipsa Loquitur. The thing speaks for itself. Vote for change. Vote yes for Measure L

Concerned Citizen

I am a concerned citizen of district 6 in the city of Colton. I am very dismayed about the upcoming election, in which three former council members are trying to get back into office. The three candidates trying to return are: Kelly Chastain district 3, John Mitchell district 5 and Sarah Zamora district 6. They were soundly defeated out of office. Let's not bring them back. At one time or another when they were in office the city

was in the dark ages with corruption, distrust, fighting among other members and driving this city to near bankruptcy. The incumbents have fought hard to move us away from that with great success. They may have different points of view on some topics, but they worked things out together and come up with solutions that are best for Colton. Citizens of Colton please get out and vote to keep Frank

Navarro district 3, Isaac Such district 6 and newcomer Bruce Bennett district 5. We cannot afford to return to the bad days. We want to continue to move forward as this seated council has done. Rachel Warner Colton, Ca.

Another Concerned Citizen

ok people of Colton, it now time for us to decide about our city council again, I have been listening to people talk about what they would do if they became Council member again in our city. I have been to council meeting and listened to the council members, I think that we need our old members back in office, I just found out that when these council members decide that they want to fight a company or person from bringing some kind of business, the city

doesn’t want, we have to go into lawsuits and if the city loses the people of Colton have to pay all fees, that means we the people of Colton will get to pay higher taxes to pay for the council mistake, this last year the city lost a lawsuit and now we the people, have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars that we don't have, just because a council member got his feelings hurt, is no reason we should have to pay. I want to wish Sarah, Kelly, and John good luck.

I would also like to see signs taken down where they don't belong, they do not belong on city property or on fences that they don't even know who the property belongs to. Thank you Cindy Carrion Another concerned citizen

Words to Think About: Israel

Inland Empire Community Newspapers • October 27, 2016 • Page A5

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

srael is one of the perennial hotspots in our world. They are either the instigators or the recipients of antagonism. Obviously they are surrounded by Arabs-potential enemies. I’ve visited Israel eight times. My first visit was in 1969. Six of my eight visits were at times when war was on the brink or had just terminated. There are three religions that have a vested interest in Israel. Judaism,

Christianity and Muslim. The population of Israel has approximately 7 million Jews, 1 ½ million Muslims and about 350.000 Christians. There are several historic spots that reflect one or more of these religions-primarily the Old section of Jerusalem. In this article I hope to focus on several of the more unique places that I have visited. They are historically important. One item that is vitally important that most nonMuslims know nothing about. Approximately one third of the Koran is concerned with individuals from the Old Testament. One chapter is focused on Mary, the mother of Jesus, whom the Koran reveres. The Koran accepts the Virgin birth and the resurrection of Jesus. On my first visit to Israel, I asked a priest at St. George’s Cathedral to take me to Masada. Because of the threat of war, we went by way of the “valley of the shadow of death.” Sound familiar? It’s from Psalm 23. “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Several Israelis told me that every Jew knew where it was. Desolate, barren, nothing grew there and only a one lane winding road from Jerusalem to Jericho. There are scores of villages in Israel with the name of “kibbutz.” A unique habitation made up of fam-

ilies that have everything in common. They eat together, work together, and go to school together but sleep as a family. Children belong to everyone. Also, every kibbutz has a specialty. I’ve stayed at three of them. One grew bananas, another was a hotel, and Nes Ammim grew roses. Everyday planes take their crops to the major cities of Europe. Nes Ammim is the only Christian kibbutz in Israel located a few miles from Lebanon; it is next to the “survivors of Warsaw” kibbutz. It is inhabited by Christians from Holland. I stayed two weeks with them and attended their daily Bible studies. Bethlehem means “house of bread,” and is located about seven miles south of Jerusalem. It is a part of the West Bank and very much an Arab city. At the center is the Christian Cathedral and it is huge. To the right of the Chancel area are two very special items. One is a painting of the circumcision of Jesus. I’ve only seen one other-in Taxco, Mexico. The other is also in back and in an altar with a bronze star, around a foot in diameter hole. Looking into it is a light that is about twelve feet below the floor. It is viewed as the exact place where Jesus was born. A few years ago I was in Bethle-

hem in December. It was so cold and snowy. Our bus stopped at a cave about thirty feet in diameter and made of limestone. It was where animals were kept. I imagined it to be like the place where Jesus was born. Certainly not in the Winter, more likely he was born in the Spring; in warm weather. Southeast of Bethlehem and about ten miles from Jericho are four very important sights: The Dead Sea, Qumran, Masada and the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. The Dead Sea is supposedly the richest body of water, mineral wise, in the world. It is impossible for a body to sink. More salt than Salt Lake in Utah. The Dead Sea is supposedly the original location of Sodom and Gomorrah. There is also a four foot high white pillar as a reminder of Lot’s wife who was turned into a pillar of salt. Qumran was the home of the Zealots in ancient times. It is only a place of ruins today. Looking to the West are the hills with open caves where the Scrolls were found. Perhaps the most memorable sight in all of Israel is Masada. It is about 2,000 feet high and was originally a vacation retreat for Herod the Great. The first two times I was

there I had to climb up and back. Today there is a Palm Springs type tram that ascends it. The ruins are very visible. It is also the place where a thousand Jews committed suicide rather than be captured by the Romans. For several years prior to 70 A.D., the Romans could not capture the fortress. However, they built a ramp at the back and eventually got to the top. But 998 Jews were dead. Two escaped to tell their brave story. Today, every graduating classes of Israel military go to the top and with a commitment they pledge these words, “Never Again.” Meaning to be submitted to a Holocaust. There are many other places I could write about, but I’ll settle with one more. It is called Gordon’s Garden. It is outside of Old Jerusalem. There is a tomb and next to it a hill that looks like a skull-perhaps Golgotha. The tomb is open with a two foot wide, slanted stone trough for a huge stone to roll to the opening of the tomb. Inside is a ledge where a body was placed. A garden area is around the scene for services. It is believed by many tourists as the place where Jesus was buried. And from where He arose. Amen. Selah. So be it.

Oak Glen Conservation Camp minimum security prison has storied background

COURTESY PHOTO/DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

The Oak Glen Conservation Camp was the first minimum security prison established by the State Department of Corrections designed to train inmate fire fighters.

By Harvey M. Kahn

he State Department of Corrections has announced it has signed a contract with San Bernardino County allowing more long term jailed felons the chance to serve out sentences at one of the state's minimum security conservation fire camps. Department spokesperson Bill Sessa said in a phone interview that there are many perks including earning time off sentences. The Oak Glen Conservation (Fire) Camp was the first such facility and with a prison population of 160 is the largest among 43 in the state. The site was established 90 years ago by the former San Bernardino County Forestry Department. Sessa explained the plan is part of new

legislation aimed to reduce the prison population. "People are not going to be let out of prison early and we are not lowering our standards. No one with a pattern of violent behavior is accepted. "You get one chance. If you are disruptive in any form, you are returned to an electronically fenced facility." Prisoners are supervised by California Department of Forestry and Fire (CalFire) captains while performing duties outside the camp and inside the camp are under the direction of state correction officers. An informal poll showed most residents of Mentone, Yucaipa, and Beaumont did not know they live within a few miles of a minimum security state prison. In 1928, prison honor crews from Oak Glen were partly responsible for building the high-

ways through the Inland Empire. Two years later, those felons worked along side San Bernardino County Forestry workers to build new paved roads leading up to Oak Glen, through Beaumont into Idyllwild. Prison work crews provided the labor for county parks, flood control, and water main systems. According to Copley News Service, the Oak Glen site has been under various county, state and federal jurisdictions. It was structured in 1933 under President Franklin Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps federal jobs program. President Lyndon Johnson then picked the preWorld War II styled Oak Glen camp to be the location of a pilot training program. It was part of Johnson's 1963 Anti-Poverty Act geared for high school dropouts, with the Riverside County Schools designated the local funding source. President Richard Nixon's administration followed by sponsoring measures to revert Oak Glen back to a penal institution. By 1972 it was under control of the California Youth Authority for juvenile offenders and for a while was a Job Corp Conservation Center. Through the 1980's, the state financed millions to upgarde the Oak Glen Conservation camp. According to state sources and the late ABC reporter Bob Banfield, the Oak Glen Conservation (Fire) Camp has provided inmate labor since 1949 and was established in its current form in 1990. Sessa advised there are semantic and technical issues when reviewing those enrolling in fire camps. "There might be those who the penal code defines as violent with violent convictions but have earned a lower security status through good behavior." Sessa points out that those in prison fire camps don't have the same backgrounds as the general civilian population. "Those who have long rivalries have to put those differences aside. Rival

gangs must learn to work side by side," said Sessa. "They must learn to take orders, learn to compromise, and to be disciplined." He adds that it is not a vocational program, yet those released say they have learned personal skills. Sessa described camp inmates as performers of physical work, divided into crews of 15. During a fire, they carry 50 pounds of supplies on their back while cutting containment lines. But are the highest paid of all inmates, earning $2 per hour and an extra dollar per hour while fighting a fire. "Plus, they get a dayfor-day off their sentence. During the time on a fire line, they get two days off their sentence for each day worked." Sessa says inmates also get additional days off their sentence for good behavior as mandated by the state. According to the Department of Corrections there is no incentive for inmates to escape. Although no figures were available regarding the number of escapes from Oak Glen, statistics from the state say that 99 percent of all offenders who have left an adult

institution or community-based program without permission have been apprehended. The official statement is that "Oak Glen Conservation Camp has never been a problem in the community." Bob Banfield did report about a 2008 escape from Oak Glen Conservation Camp when two inmates got free and one broke into the home of a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy, took two guns, his uniform, and his vehicle. He was caught early the next morning in Rancho Cucamonga. Two more reported escapes occurred in 2012 and 2014 but in both cases the inmates were returned without incident. A report provided by the Environmental Working Group alleges that the Oak Glen camp received a violation of its own in 2007 when the EPA found its drinking water exceeded the maximum levels of coliform. The Group claimed the California Department of Public Health would not respond when asked for updated test data.

Among the cast of the 56th Annual Headdress Ball "A Salute to San Bernardino" are Carol Burroughs, Barbara Alejandre, Margaret Ortiz, Tania Quezada, Leslie Bryan, Jade Seitz, Ashley Burroughs, and Martin Flores at the launch of the annual signature event for Assistance League of San Bernardino at the Historic California Theatre. nder the roof of the Historic California Theatre Assistance League of San Bernardino announced the theme of their 56th Annual Signature Headdress Ball, “A Salute to San Bernardino” on the evening of October 3rd. This year’s Headdress Ball co-chairs are Carol Dixon, Jennifer Hobbs, and Kristine Smith. The annual event will be held at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino on Saturday, April 22, 2017. There will be a matinee performance at 10:00 a.m. that will include lunch and the presentation of the headdresses. The cost to attend the matinee is $65 per person until January 9, 2017 and $75 beginning January 10, 2017. The evening gala celebration will begin with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. sponsored by the Signature Club. Tickets for the evening black-tie performance are $135 per person until January 9, 2017 and $150 beginning January 10, 2017. Tables seat 10 for the evening dinner performance. This year’s theme “A Salute to San Bernardino” will feature Assistance League members and guest models showcasing headdresses that encompass the history of San Bernardino from the life of its indigenous people, the National Orange Show, the railroad, science and technology pioneers, the Historic California Theatre, the Swing Auditorium, an Academy Award winning costume designer, the beginnings of the fast food industry, education, and a survivor from last December’s terrorist attack in a special tribute to those who make San

Bernardino Strong. “Our city is one of firsts that have impacted the entire world. San Bernardino’s industries are far reaching. One of the catalysts for the idea for this year’s theme was the events of December 2, 2015, when the lives of 14 of our friends and colleagues were taken from us too soon. Our community has emerged as San Bernardino strong and we celebrate the fact that despite great loss, our city has emerged from the ashes to rise again like a Phoenix,” said Kristine Smith co-chair. The presentation of the headdresses is a 56 year-old tradition that has grown more elaborate every year. Community patrons agree to sponsor these magnificent designer creations with all of the proceeds going to charity. The headdresses can weigh 10-50 lbs. and can stand at a height of 5’-15’ before being placed on a model’s head. The headdresses are designed by local florists and artisans and they must be carefully balanced so they are wearable. This year’s designers include: Martin Flores, Derrick Vasquez, Albert Villegas, Ed Mendoza, Gary Longoria, Judy Coates, Andre Harrington, Brad Seeley, Pam Lechuga, Allison Jure, and Carrie Schmidt. This year’s headdress models will include Assistance League® members: Cathy Bechtel, Denise Benton, Lindsay Boyd, Ashley Burroughs, Mindy Erickson, Erica Hobbs, and Holly Preston. Representing Les Confreres, an auxiliary of Assistance League® is Geri McQueen. Special guest models that will be representing community interests include Alaina Ramos-Mathews, Julie

Swan-Paez, Jade Seitz, Brooke Alejandre, and Tania Quezada The models who wear the headdresses are generally chosen based on their contributions to the San Bernardino chapter of Assistance League® and their community service. The members with the strongest service records are honored by the membership by being given the opportunity to model a headdress. For the past four years, this honor has extended to community representatives as well. The models then commit to rehearsal schedules that last for 10-12 weeks as they practice wearing tightly cinched corsets that brace the headdresses and distribute the weight primarily on their hips. A model must learn to balance the headdress while dancing in a fully produced number. All proceeds from the matinee and the evening performances will go to benefit the children of San Bernardino and surrounding communities through the support and funding of the Dr. Earl R. Crane Children’s Dental Health Center and Operation School Bell®, a program that provides clothing for children in need. Last year the Ball raised over $100,000. This year the organization is hoping to achieve a similar goal.

CSUSB Students Box More Than 15,000 Pounds of Food For Needy Families For National Make A Difference Day

all it controlled chaos at Cal State San Bernardino to help those in need.

The university’s Yasuda Center was a whirlwind of nonstop activity on Saturday morning, Oct. 22, created by 100 freshmen – a whirlwind that could make a dean’s head spin.

One group of students unpacked pallets, each loaded with non-perishable foods, while a second group placed that food into smaller boxes. A third group checked to ensure each box had the right contents, followed by another group that taped the boxes shut. Finally, the last group of students carried the sealed boxes outside and stacked them onto pallets. The CSUSB first-year students had volunteered to box food for the Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County to help needy families as part of national Make a Difference Day. Started in 1992,

Make a Difference Day is one of the largest national days of community service in the United States. Celebrated annually on the fourth Saturday in October, thousands of volunteers unite in a common mission to improve the lives of others.

Brandon Romano, the food bank program manager for the partnership, told the students that every month the agency supplies food to 17,000 needy families throughout the county. He added that the food boxed by the students was to “supplement the limited resources of needy families.

“But for a lot of those families, this is the only food they will have,” Romano said. “This is what those families rely on.” Diane Podolske, director of CSUSB’s Office of Community Engagement, which organized the event, said volunteering to help the needy was part of the university’s heritage of serving

the community and introducing that tradition to freshmen.

“We want to show our newest students that volunteering is part of being a Coyote. Our institution prides itself on being a good neighbor, and this is part of it,” Podolske said. “This is our university’s effort to get our students to participate in this national day of service and energize them to serve long after they graduate.”

Earlier this month, Cal State San Bernardino was named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the ninth consecutive year. The honor recognized CSUSB for its service to the community during the past 12 months, when students, faculty and staff contributed more than 95,000 volunteer hours to local communities, Podolske said.

Launched in 2006, the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognizes institutions of higher

education that support exemplary community service programs and raise the visibility of effective practices in campus community partnerships. The designation by the Corporation for National and Community Service is the highest honor a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement. Chidiuto Agbakwurn, a biology major who plans to go into nursing, joined with her friends filling boxes with food.

“There are things that have to be done to help people,” said the San Bernardino resident. “I would do this again.”

On the other side of the large room, biology major Jacob Huber assembled boxes for the others to use.

“I like this. It’s a good cause and I can’t think of a better way to spend my day,” said Huber. “I highly recommend it. It’s a good feeling.”

After more than 90 minutes, the work ended 30 minutes earlier than expected as the volunteers had filled all the assembled boxes – more than 650 – packing a total of more than 15,000 pounds of food.

Lawmakers issue call to action on soldier bonus repayment situation

ocal lawmakers expressed outrage of the Pentagon’s decision to demand soldiers to repay enlistment bonuses and benefits that

were improperly given by the California National Guard a decade ago. “I’m calling on the Department of Defense to halt the collection process, investigate the situation and waive the recoupment of

these bonuses,” said Congressman Pete Aguilar (D-San Bernardino). “I will work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to guarantee that those who sacrificed so much to keep us safe are treated fairly and re-

spectfully when they return home.” The Los Angeles Times reported last Thursday that approximately 9,700 formerly enlisted California National Guard soldiers are being asked by the Pentagon to pay back bonuses of $15,000 or more. According to the report, bonuses were given out from 2006 to 2008 by recruiters who were scrambling to meet enlistment quotas. Many of the men women served in and Afghanistan and Iraq. Audits conducted by the state’s National Guard headquarters in Sacramento demonstrated that the soldiers did not quality for all or some of the bonuses. National Guard officials say only the Pentagon could forgive the debt incurred by the soldiers, and doing so may require Congress to act. Congressman Mark Takano (DRiverside), who sits on the House Veterans Affairs Committee along with Aguilar, also confirmed his commitment to resolving the issue. “I am calling on Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to make this issue a top priority during the lame duck session next month.”Takano said. “This country owes a debt to our service members that we can never fully repay. It should never be the other way around.” On Tuesday, the California Na-

tional Guard released a statement explaining that it previously approached Congress about introducing legislation to alleviate financial burdens for service men and women. They claim to be working in conjunction with federal officials to waive the debts. “We are working with Congressional leaders to support a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that provides relief to Soldiers," the statement reads. "That vote is expected to take place at the end of the calendar year." Joseph Moseley, who served in the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom and now advocates for veterans rights, said paying back bonuses is not an uncommon practice. After suffering injuries to his back, Moseley was discharged two years before his sixenlistment contract year expired--repaying $3,000 in the process. “I went ahead and paid it,” he said. “Otherwise it would have been taken out of my taxes or out of my check.” Moseley fears the 9,700 former guardsmen and women will not be relieved of their debts. “It is upsetting,” he said. “I wish these people the best, but I don’t they think they have much of a choice.”

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.
