in the annual Latino Graduationcelebration.“All the students were able tospeak and deliver their messages,”she said. “The Chicano-Latino ismy adopted community, so I feltstrongly about being there. It wasbeautiful.”Eaton, a participant in the Chi-cano student blowouts in East LosAngeles in the 1960’s, said beinga part of the festivities was atremendous moment for her. It’s afeeling she said she can hardly de-scribe to anyone. “To see all these minorities get-ting college degrees makes thework we did in the 60’s and 70’sworthwhile,” she said. “That’swhat we fought for and wanted.”The ceremony, along with theBlack Graduation on June 8, setthe theme for the commencement

a week later. Two of the InlandEmpire’s prominent leaders andentrepreneurs received honorarydegrees. Both recipients happen todemonstrate the ethnic backgroundof the area. Hardy Brown andJesus and Luz Cardenas receivedthe Honorary Doctorate of Hu-mane LettersBrown, an influential figure inthe Inland Empire’s African Amer-ican community, co-foundedBrown Publishing Company toproduce the weekly communitynewspaper, Black Voice News,which focuses on local communitynews in Riverside and SanBernardino counties.

Along with his wife Cheryl, theCalifornia Assemblymember ofthe 37th district,, have been recog-nized as the only living publishersto be included in the 175th an-

niversary of the Black Press ofAmerica. Their names were addedto along with other historic pub-lishers as Frederick Douglass, IdaB. Wells-Barnett and Carlotta Bass– who all overcame adversity topublish the truth. Black VoiceNews reaches over 10,000 readersper edition.Mr. Brown would go on to co-find California Black Media(CBM), a network of AfricanAmerican media owners across thestate of California. The organiza-tion has served as an outlet to bet-ter inform and educate the AfricanAmerican community about issuesthat affect their communities. Cal-ifornia Black Media consists of 22African American newspapersacross the state. Paulette Brown-Hinds, one offour Brown children and a currentconsultant and communicationsprofessor spoke on behalf of herfather, reading a manuscript hewrote up.“My wife and I have never shiedaway from the social justice teach-ings of our parents,” she read on.“Which is one of the reasons wenever left the westside of SanBernardino. We cannot choosewhere we come from, but we canchoose where we want to go.”Originally from Jalisco, Mexico,the Cardenas family migrated tothe U.S. and spent years workingin fields in California. Jesus andLuz began selling meat and ethnicfoods. Their products grew in pop-ularity and in 1981 they openedtheir first store in Ontario.Since then it has evolved into oneof the most successful privatelyowned companies in the InlandEmpire. Today, Cardenas Marketsowns 30 stores in Southern Cali-fornia and Nevada with more than3,000 employees.The family established the Car-denas Markets Scholarship Foun-dation Inc., which serves as one ofthe Inland Empire’s leading phil-anthropic organizations. They sup-port programs at Cal State SanBernardino as well as the Univer-sity of California, Riverside, CalPoly Pomona, the University of LaVerne, Mt. San Antonio College,Chaffey College, College of theDesert and Imperial Valley Col-lege.With tears in her eyes, Luz Car-denas looked on as CSU TrusteeMarco Robles read her statementto the crowd.“We are deeply honored in re-ceiving this very important hon-orary degree,” he said. “Oursuccess and our commitment to re-spond to the community’s needscould not have been done withoutthe support of our employees.”

the faith-based Inland Congrega-tions for Change (ICUC) becauseshe had lost out on the resourcesthat could have helped her eldestson during his time in the SB-CUSD. “I had to become involved be-cause I wanted to help my son suc-

ceed in school,” she said. “I no-ticed many of the parents wereconfused as a result of not gettingthe right information. So I made itmy commitment to becomeknowledgeable about the re-sources to get them the right infor-mation.”ICUC organizers, who committheir time to strengthening the

community by addressing issuessuch as health care affordability,educational and immigration re-form, took notice of Romero’s dili-gence in helping fellow parentsand recruited her to be a parentleader.“I was already doing it on myown, but they wanted me to jointheir organization to strengthen myability to influence the communityon a grander scale,” Romero ex-plained. Servin already aware of ICUC’swork in the Inland Empire becameinfluenced by her son David, 17, ayouth leader with the organizationto become more involved.“Since they knew me through myson, they invited me to severalmeetings to learn more about theorganization and what they do,”she said. They currently face an uphill bat-tle to try to convince SBCUSDboard members to appropriatestate funding received through the

Local Control Fundability For-mula (LCFF) to address theachievement gap and devastatingsuspension rates present in the city.SBCUSD has proposed to use the$52 million added on throughLCFF to focus on the "cradle tocareer" needs of Latino, African-American students, and Englishlearners. However, many ICUCleaders are questioning the $11million that will be directed forsalary increases--urging the dis-trict to redirect that money intoprograms and hiring counselors toadvise students with needs. “If it’s always the same people inthe discussions, nothing willchange,” said Romero. “They needto listen to our feedback becauseafter all, isn’t it what they wantfrom us? We’re interested in theeducation of our children.”Romero emphasized the commit-ment of all the parents involved inthe LCAP meetings and in the re-search of data.

“What we do is strictly volunteer.None of us get paid to be here.Whatever we want to put forwardis up to us,” she said. “We all justdo it because we want to uplift ourcommunities.”Raquel Hernandez Hermosillo,Romero’s mother, said she becameinvolved because of the love shehas for the youth of the city. Shesaid all she hopes to see in the nearfuture is for young adults and chil-dren in her community to have op-portunities to succeed and changeSan Bernardino’s current condi-tion.“I never had the opportunity tostudy,” she said. “I am a grand-mother who is heavily involvedand wants only to see youth haveunlimited opportunities. They de-serve the right to work and studywith full devotion and dedication.That’s all I want as a grand-mother.”

Arrowhead Water Co. has generated billions fromSan Bernardino bore holes

By Harvey M. Kahn

After more than one hun-dred years of being thesource for the Arrowhead

Water Company and the billions ofdollars that's been derived fromartesian wells in WatermanCanyon, there is no evidence thatSan Bernardino has ever gained fi-nancially. Since 1909, an esti-mated 20,000 gallons ofArrowhead Springs water per dayhas been tapped and transportedfrom wells in Arrowhead Springs,located five miles above 40th andWaterman. San Bernardino has ba-sically turned water into gold forwhat has grown into an interna-tional giant, now known as NestleWaters North America.

San Bernardino's spring wateris the main reason that Switzer-land-based Nestle has become theworld's largest bottled water com-pany and a smaller reason thatNestle S.A. is the world's largestfood company. The ArrowheadWater Company was purchased byNestle in the 1980's after Nestlestarted a massive expansion in1976 to market its Perrier Water inNorth America. Along with beingknown as the fast food capital, SanBernardino is the capital of com-mercial drinking water. It becamesuch a money-maker that the Stan-dard Oil Company owned Arrow-head Springs Water during the

1930's, one of many corporateowners over the years.

According to a company cus-tomer service phone-bankspokesperson named John, only anunspecified amount of ArrowheadWater now comes from its originalsource adjacent to the old Arrow-head Springs Hotel. John said thatthere are concerns about theamount of water that is being de-pleted from its San Bernardinosite. John explained that there'snow 15 sources for its ArrowheadWater brand, including some inCanada.

A search of the San

Bernardino County fictitious busi-ness website did not list any deriv-ative of Arrowhead MountainWater conducting business in thecounty. The real estate listing site,loopnet.com stated that ArrowheadSprings Road was recently an-nexed by the City of SanBernardino. Officials in the citybusiness licensing said to contactthe county clerk of the board, whosaid to call the assessor, who saidto call the real property specialist,who said to call the clerk, who saidto call flood control properties.

John said the ArrowheadWater Company continues to

transport its water out of SanBernardino in trucks carrying twostainless steel tanks. John wouldnot say how much, how often orwhere the water is delivered. Johnrefused to provide his last namedue to "company privilege." A re-quest to speak to a company super-visor was not granted. John did saythat Arrowhead feels a need tomaintain its association "with itsoriginal water source" in SanBernardino. He referred to a$75,000 grant Arrowhead recentlyawarded to an Inland Empiregroup whose been cleaning litteralong the Santa Ana River.

According to a content analy-sis of Arrowhead Water reports,the estimated 20,000 gallons ofwater per day that were beingtransported out of ArrowheadSprings is based somewhat on oralhistory. The two tanks carried bytruck can haul a load of 4,000 gal-lons in each tank. From 1909 to1960, there was a train carryingabout six large glass-lined tankersthat went daily from Rialto Ave.and D Street, then directly up Mt.View to Waterman Canyon.

When that is computed overthe course of 100 years, there is thepossibility that John is correct byindicating that Arrowhead SpringsWater is being pumped out fasterthan nature can replace the watertable. According to the ArrowheadCompany web site it has fourdrinking water wells bored at Ar-

rowhead Springs. It has anotherwater pump site in RunningSprings. Its third site in SanBernardino County is in DeerCanyon Springs.

John would not answer ques-tions about the current drought andhow the Arrowhead Companycould be affecting the local watersupply. "Company privilege," saidJohn. However, the ArrowheadCompany does admit that some ofits purified drinking water maycome from the municipal watersupply.

A 1992 press release, statedthat the Arrowhead Water Com-pany Corporation opened a largebottling plant in Ontario. At thattime, it stated that Connecticut-based Perrier Group of Americawas Arrowhead's parent company.Taxes and fees are paid for bottlingin Ontario but no amount could befound paid to San Bernardino forits water.

Court cases alleging fraud inmarketing San Bernardino springwater can be traced to 1910. ARiverside judge ruled in favor ofthe Arrowhead Hot Springs Com-pany against Los Angeles-basedArrowhead Springs Water Com-pany over misleading newspaperadvertising. Over the past 100years, Arrowhead Springs Waterhas been accused of fraudulentlymarketing mineral water, as statedin articles published by the River-side Independent Enterprise.

Thomas Paine was a strongvoice with his writingsduring the pre-revolution-

ary days. In January of 1776 hewrote, “We have it within ourpower to make the world overagain.” Six months before theDeclaration of Independence.The truth of Paine’s thought isalso applicable to the individual-you and me. We have the powerwithin ourselves to make ourworld as we would like it to be.Change begins with us.One way to remake our world isto challenge the condition thatoften affects people. “LearnedHelplessness.” It is very close tothe psychological concept of habit-uation.Helplessness must be learned.

Consider a young child. Child Psy-chologists affirm that a childlearns more in the first six years oftheir life than any other compara-ble time. They absorb everything.Their curiosity is unbounded.Stella and I have three great-grandchildren under 2 ½ years old.Their parents will verify my prem-ise. They are like sponges. Theywant to do everything by them-selves. The opposite of helpless-ness. Then comes the firm hand or

voice of discipline of parents; theguidance of teachers; the will ofreligion; the force of peer pressure.All of these forces encourage themto be helpless. Many of them suc-cumb to it and become couch po-tatoes or living squash. They learnto be helpless; victims of their en-vironment. Weak worms of thedust. Change their world? Hardly.But it can happen. It is never toolate.By and large they accept theirworld as it is. Fettered and boring.My answer to “learned helpless-ness” is found in a book entitled,“Not Somehow, But Tri-umphantly,” by Bertha Munro.Her major theme was, “If YouDon’t Like It, Change It.” Shadesof Thomas Paine.Most football enthusiasts knowthe name Mike Utley. A pro withthe Detroit Lions, he suffered avertebrae accident and became aparaplegic. Have you heard of EricLeGrand? On October 16, 2010,he suffered a similar vertebrae ac-cident and was paralyzed from theneck down.Through perseverance and God’shelp he has become a functional

paraplegic-movement in his shoul-ders and sensations throughout hisbody. He’s finished his college de-gree and published two books. Asa motivational speaker, his themeis BELIEVE. He hopes to becomea sports broadcaster. He obvi-ously fulfilled the promise sug-gested by Thomas Paine.Incidentally, Eric played collegefootball for Rutgers University andwas drafted by the Tampa NFLteam.Warren Mitchell is a veteran ofthirty years in the U.S.A. AirForce. As a widower, he compen-sates his loss by writing poetry. Ina recent poem that he sent me, hewrote, “Always blessed; never en-titled.” I’ve thought about what hemeant by it and what it means tome.It takes a great deal of faith to ac-

knowledge the continuing pres-ence of life’s blessing. In the Bookof Hebrews, chapter eleven andverse six, it reads; “Without faithit is impossible to please God.”I’ve met people that seem todoubt everything; questioning thevery essence of life. Yet, faith isthe framework of our experiences.That money placed in the bankwill be there when needed. Faiththat drivers will stay on their sideof the road. Faith. That food or-dered in a restaurant will not bepoisoned. Faith. That doctors willbe skillful while operating on us.Faith.We are the recipients of life’sblessings. Including life itself. Notbecause we deserve them. Not thatwe are entitled to them. But ratherbecause of God’s nature.As we care for our children; pro-

viding housing, food and clothing.Because it’s our nature. We lovethem. We are God’s children. Heloves us. The song writer has spo-ken well. God has not promisedskies always blue or flower strewnpathways all our lives through. ButGod has promised strength for ourdays, unfailing sympathy andundying love.”A very good Muslim friend ofmine recently gave me a DVD ofa Muslim professor explaining the

various venues of his faith. Hespent a great deal of time tellingthe commonality among Chris-tians, Judaism, Muslims, Buddhistand Hinduism. Whether they believe in God,Jesus, Allah, the Superior Being orUltimate Reality; they all believein a Creator that is a Provider. Justas the birds are cared for, so wehumans are also cared for. Our re-sponse must be one of gratitude.Amen. Selah. So be it.

On June 21st we will cel-ebrate the Summer Sol-stice, the longest day of

the year. In the Inland Empire,where we get an abundance ofsunshine year-round, this oftentimes means more heat for alonger period of time, whichdoesn't sound appealing to manyof us who have lived here all ourlives. But this year, what itmeans to me, is the perfect dayto celebrate the many achieve-ments and advances we havemade in solar power and localclean energy.Just 3 weeks ago, my organiza-tion, the Sierra Club’s My Gen-eration Campaign, along withnon-profit GRID Alternatives,with the support of SanBernardino City Hall, Supervi-sor James Ramos, State SenatorNorma Torres and Mayor PeteAguilar hosted a Green JobMixer in San Bernardino, con-necting solar companies withcommunity members for poten-tial career opportunities.According to Mosaic, an online

market place that offers solar in-vestments to the public, a newsolar system is installed every 4minutes in America. This is anoptimistic statistic that meansmore job creation for our com-munities, better health for ourpeople and our planet and rein-vestment in American ingenuity.Mosaic is currently celebratingthe Summer Solstice by askingpeople where they would like tosee solar installed in their com-munity. If you’d like to see solarinstalled on your home, church,city hall or school you can visithttps://joinmosaic.com/putsola-ronit and suggest where you’dlike to see solar go up in yourcommunity. I for one wouldlove to see us put solar on theCarousel Mall and keep ourreinvestment into SanBernardino going. So let’s quitwasting time and #PutSola-rOnIt!

The Center for Community Ac-tion and Environmental Justice(CCAEJ), and the residents ofWestside of San Bernardino held arally at an Omnitrans event onTuesday April 22nd, 2014 that il-lustrated their frustrations andanger about the tanks being intheir neighborhood. Since thisevent, the community has decidedto continue attending Omnitransmonthly Board of Director’s meet-ings in order to keep up on what istaking place. CCAEJ CommunityOrganizer Ericka Flores and about30 residents of the Westside of SanBernardino attended an Omnitransboard meeting on Wednesday June4th to express their ever increas-ing concern about the highly flam-mable Liquefied and CompressedNatural Gas tanks that are still sit-ting in their neighborhood. Thecommunity also attended to askcritical questions related to thedangers of the tanks that have notbeen previously answered by the

establishment. One communitymember, Maria Hernandez wantedto know “in the case of an accidentor natural disaster, what would bethe geographical impact in ourneighborhood?” Residents wantedto know whether or not Omnitranshas a safety plan that will protectthe surrounding communities inthe event that the flammable tanksexplode. CCAEJ community or-ganizer Ericka Flores informed theOmnitrans board that the commu-nity has no intentions of ceasingbeing present at their board meet-ings. “We love our neighborhoodand just want to make sure that itis safe for us, you are not doingyour job!” Flores exclaimed.When the public comment periodended, the board of Omnitransseemed completely detached fromthe words spoken by the anxiouscommunity. In fact, most were toodistracted by their smart phonesand other technological devices toeven look at the residents dressed

in bright red t-shirts, standing di-rectly in front of them, who ex-pected at least some sort ofresponse to their questions. Theboard of directors did howevergive a brief update about hiring aconsultant to conduct a study onthe potential dangers of the LNGand CNG tanks being stored in aresidential area. This proposal wasfirst introduced during one of Om-nitrans’ board meetings on May7th, 2014, and the community wastold that this hiring of a consultantwould occur within thirty days ofthat date. The residents of theWestside of San Bernardino willnot slow down or stop their effortsto finally get the explosive tanksout of their community and into asafe and controlled industrial area.

Voting is a constitutional rightand should be taken seriously byinformed citizens. Unfortunatelya large portion of the voter popu-lation is ignorant and they votewithout knowledge of whom theyare voting for. A perfect example

of this is the secretary of staterace.

Leland Yee is a state senator run-ning for secretary of state. He wasarrested by the FBI earlier thisyear for political corruption and

firearms trafficking involving ter-rorists. He dropped out of the sec-retary of state race after his arrestbut his name remained on the bal-lot.

Some 300,000 uniformed andignorant voters voted for him forsecretary of state even though hedropped out of the race. How can

voters be so stupid?

I guess that is why we haveBrown as California governor andObama as president.

#PutSolarOnIt

An ambitious homeless interven-tion put together by the mayor’soffice, Councilwoman VirginiaMarquez and Police Chief JarrodBurguan passed the City Councilon June 2!

Why does this scare me? Thecity, in its bankruptcy with nomoney to spend on services, is tak-ing on this project.

Mark my words, it will cost thecity money one way or the other.

San Bernardino does have a seri-ous homeless problem and a lot ofproblems are caused by homelesspeople. Our city is not a nanny forthe homeless; why doesn’t the pri-vate sector, which has a lot moreexperience working with thehomeless, take over this project?

Before one cent is spent, let SanBernardino nonprofits address thisissue. I have one in mind that runsa model program for homelesswomen right here in SanBernardino: Kim Carter of Time

for Change Foundation. She hasthe credentials to run this programand do it right the first timearound. If the city wants to knowhow to run an award-winninghomeless program they better justturn it over to her. I have been aneighbor of one of her homes for anumber of years and I know first-hand how she runs the homes. Shehas many homeless women whohave graduated into society withjobs, homes, bank accounts andare on their own with backup fromher foundation to keep them on

track. That is the way the cityshould run its program.

The city is doomed with anotherpie-in-the-sky idea with no ideahow to run it. Mayor, City Coun-cil, City Manager, Chief of Police,listen to my words and followthrough with what I suggest! Keepit in San Bernardino with no out-side studies wasting money!

Lugo graduates from Bourns College ofEngineering despite medical challenges

By MJ Duncan

Rosemblim Lugo, a nativeof Mexico who traveledacross the border with his

parents when he was a child seek-ing a better life for their son, grad-uated from UC Riverside’s BournsCollege of Engineering Monday.The years that led up to this mon-umental day were fraught withmedical and financial challenges,offset by the joys that came whenhe and his wife, Karen, welcomedtheir son Rosemblin F. Lugo, andhis acceptance to BCoE.Lugo’s fervor for discovery wasevident in his teen years when hespent hours taking apart a varietyof devices to learn how they oper-ated. His knack for it led peopleto bring various items for him tofix, and this passion for inventionwould eventually steer him to-wards becoming an electrical en-gineer.

A first generation college stu-dent, his higher education experi-ence began at Imperial ValleyCollege and Southwestern Com-munity College. He navigatedthrough the maze of college tryingto avoid becoming lost in the sys-tem. In order to make ends meet heworked as an audio visual aide andoffered assistance to people withdisabilities.A momentous highlight wasLugo’s acceptance to UC River-side’s BCoE in 2009, which wasbook-ended by two medical inci-dents. The first was the necessaryremoval of his tear glands, whichleft him unable to produce his owntears that frequently makes hiseyes appear red and fatigued. Thelatter, far more devastating, waswhen a doctor diagnosed a lumpunder his eyelid as lymphoma in2010. Tumors were also discov-ered on his back and abdomen. Lugo was able to obtain treat-

ment at Loma Linda UniversityMedical Center due to his univer-sity-based insurance, but he could-n’t take time off school becausehis medical insurance would beterminated. Before he began his eight-monthchemotherapy treatment he andKaren decided to get married andtry to conceive before the chemowould ravage his body. In 2010they joyfully welcomed their firstson, Rosemblim F. Lugo. “My advisor recommended that Itake a quarter or two off, even ayear off if necessary. I would al-ways tell them no,” he said. “I wasafraid that I would start workingsomewhere, and never ever findtime to go back to school. I justwanted to finish the program, nomatter what it took.”In 2012 buckling under the bur-den of medical bills, raising ayoung family and running out offinancial aid Lugo was convincedhe wouldn’t be able to finish theprogram. Thankfully Lugo’s par-ents were able to cover the major-ity of his academic and livingexpenses, while he simultaneouslyworked and went to school.As busy as he was, Lugo stillfound the time to serve on theBCOE Leadership Council and asa board member with the Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engi-neers, which led to a full time po-sition at ZebraSci, a medicaldevice company in Temecula.His challenges and hard workculminated on Monday when the34-year-old walked across thestage in front of friends and familyto formally received his degree inelectrical engineering.“They are very glad to see me fi-nally graduate. I have been goingto school for so long, hackingaway a little bit at a time, andworking while I went to schooltoo,” he said. “I’m just glad I was-n’t ‘another guy who just went toschool and took some classes.’ Iknow I left my mark at BCoE, andat UCR. I’m glad I finished anddid my best with what I had. Ithink I really got the full experi-ence.”While doctors are happy withLugo’s diagnosis, he continues toundergo monthly chemo “mainte-nance” treatments.

Mayor Davis Declares San BernadinoMen’s Health Week June 9-15

Mayor Carey Davis hasissued a proclamationdeclaring the week

that ends on Father’s Day, June 9-15, 2014, as San BernadinoMen’s Health Week. This impor-tant awareness period is part of anational effort to celebrate father-hood while helping to educatemen, boys, and their familiesabout disease prevention, medicalscreenings, and living healthylifestyles.This year marks the 20th An-niversary of the establishment ofNational Men’s Health Week. Thelegislation was sponsored by Sen-ator Bob Dole and CongressmanBill Richardson and was signedby President Bill Clinton on May31, 1994.In California, the life ex-

pectancy for men is nearly sixyears fewer than for women. Ac-cording to the National Center forHealth Statistics, men also havehigher rates of death from cancer,diabetes, and heart disease. More-over, the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention reportswomen nationwide are 100 per-cent more likely to visit their doc-tor for annual exams andpreventative services than men.“We applaud Mayor Davis forhelping raise awareness of thehealth issues facing men and theirfamilies by declaring June 9-15Men’s Health Week in SanBernadino,” said Ana Fadich,Men’s Health Network (MHN)Vice President. “Men’s health is

truly a family issue, impacting notonly men but also the women intheir lives. We hope that by pro-moting the health and well-beingof men and boys around Father’sDay, they will take action and seta doctor’s appointment in June.”In preparation for SanBernadino Men’s Health Week,MHN encourages health care pro-fessionals, private industry, faith-based organizations, communitygroups, and other interested or-ganizations and individuals toplan activities and events whichfocus on men’s health during theweek of June 9-15.

lic unveiling.The vehicle will be used on an“as-needed” basis, Garcia added.Redlands Police Department re-ceived the decommissioned MRAPin September 2013 at no cost fromthe Department of Defense, accord-ing to police officials. It was one ofaround 165 of the surplus vehiclesprovided to police departments na-tionwide as part of a national mili-tary surplus program started byPresident Bill Clinton in the 1990s,according to a news release. Redlands was the only city in SanBernardino County to not have atactical vehicle in its fleet, officialssaid.And since the addition of theMRAP, department officials suchas police Cmdr. Chris Catren, feelRedlands PD is better prepared totake on violent incidents since theyno longer would have to rely on ob-taining a rescue vehicle from an-other city.“It’s another tool in the toolbox,”Catren said. Although the vehicle will only bedeployed during volatile situations,its presence in the town has broughton concerns from several residents,raising questions during city coun-cil and town hall meetings. Garcia, however, insists it wouldonly be used to protect the commu-nity. “We would use this for any situa-tion that is high risk where some-one may be armed and any tacticalsituation where the use of a vehiclewould help us to rescue people orenter a dangerous zone withoutjeopardizing the lives of our offi-cers,” he said. “Having the equip-ment ourselves is beneficial. If Ihave a situation where I need thisand can deploy it in 20 minutes,that helps me to be able to keep mycommunity safer.”Since the department acquired thevehicle, the MRAP has been recon-figured and repainted. Changes areincluded to its interior to make itsuitable for deployment as a rescuevehicle, according to Redlands po-lice. While the vehicle includes a

turret that will serve as an observa-

tion platform for officers, there areno weapons mounted on the vehi-cle, said the news release. The $28,000 cost to retrofit thevehicle totaled $28,000 and waspaid for entirely with asset seizure

funds, which is what the depart-

ment receives from the proceeds ofproperty seized from convicteddrug dealers, the release said. NoGeneral Fund money was used topurchase or retrofit the vehicle, of-ficials added.

Assemblymember Cheryl R. BrownIssues Statement on Budget Passage

Assemblymember CherylR. Brown (D-SanBernardino) issued the

following statement in response tothe budget passage:“This year’s budget, craftedthrough the collaborative efforts ofthe Assembly, the Senate, and thegovernor, will provide vital re-sources to California and fund pro-grams and projects that benefitcommunities throughout the state,including the 47th Assembly Dis-trict. The budget provides over$100 million for affordable hous-ing and will help create jobs inareas of new construction. It alsocontains a $500 million allocationto county sheriff’s offices for jailspace and other facilities to helpease the cost of prison realignmenton our local law enforcement offi-cials with a special emphasis onrehabilitation. I am especiallypleased about the $223 million in-crease in court funding, which in-cludes $40 million in one-timefunds for court facilities. Finally,

this budget reinvests in our stu-dents and repairs the damage doneby multiple years of budget cutsthat eroded our state’s public edu-cation system by sending billions- including an additional $4.7 bil-lion in local control funding and$6 billion in deferral repayments -back to our schools. I am proud to have joined mycolleagues in supporting this bal-anced and on-time budget thatpays down debt, creates a rainyday fund and reflects California’spriorities. I urge Governor Brownto initiate the final step in thisprocess by signing the budget.” Assemblymember Cheryl R.Brown represents the 47th Assem-bly District, which includesColton, Fontana, Grand Terrace,Rialto, San Bernardino, and theunincorporated communities ofBloomington and Muscoy.Website of AssemblymemberCheryl R.

Justin Bieber D.A. To File Vandalism Charges Today In Egging Case

Chris Brown is free ... freeat last ... because he fi-nally dumped two prop-

erties he's been trying to unload --including his notorious and hatedgraffiti monster house in the Hol-lywood Hills.

Real estate sources tell us ... theHH home is in escrow ... for$1.79 mil. We're told he also justsold a penthouse condo in WestHollywood that's been on the mar-ket for 2 years.

Chris decided to sell the Holly-wood Hills home after battling thecity of L.A. and his neighborsover the brightly colored creatureshe painted on his walls. He even-

tually covered it up.Chris bought the 3-BR crib for$1.5M in 2011 ... with real estatefees, he'll be lucky to break even.

As for the WeHo condo ...Brown bought it for $1.6 in 2011and sold it for the same price.

Chris' neighbors will certainly becelebrating ... they hated him forthrowing loud, endless parties.

Justin Bieber will be chargedwith criminal vandalismMonday in connection with

the egging case ... sources familiarwith the situation tell TMZ.

We do not know if Bieber will becharged with a misdemeanor or afelony. TMZ broke the story ... theprosecutor who investigated thecase told the victim, "If this isn't afelony, nothing is." The neighborhas estimates showing $20K indamages from the egging. Thecase was sent to the top honchosin the D.A.'s office for a final de-cision.

The charge comes on the heels ofthe D.A.'s decision not to chargeBieber in an alleged incident lastmonth at a batting cage ... where awoman claimed he verballyabused her and grabbed her cellphone. The D.A.'s investigationturned up no evidence to supportthe woman's claim. The L.A. CityAttorney is reviewing the matter,but it will almost certainly gonowhere.

There's plenty of evidenceBieber did the egging. TMZposted video shot by the victim at

the time of the January attack, andalthough it's dark you clearly hearthe Biebs. And Bieber's own sur-veillance video -- seized in a now-famous raid -- shows he was frontand center during the egging.

Kelly Clarkson Gives Birth to Baby Girl!

The 32-year-old singer saidon Twitter on Saturday,June 14, that she gave

birth to her and hubby BrandonBlackstock's daughter, who istheir first child together. Perfecttiming, too—the news comes aday before Father's Day!"Our baby girl River RoseBlackstock arrived on June 12th!"she tweeted. "Thank you everyonefor all of your well wishes! Bran-don and I are on cloud 9!! :)"The first-time mom, who mar-

ried Reba McEntire's stepson in asmall ceremony in Tennessee thispast October, couldn't be happierabout being a parent! Just weeksbefore she and Brandon tied theknot, she revealed on Elvis Duranand the Morning Show, "I wantbabies, like, right off the bat!"

"Well, I'm totally gonna have agirl," she predicted. "My firstchild will be a girl—I know it inmy soul." (When her predictionturned out to be three months

later, she tweeted, "I knew it!Only a girl could cause this muchdrama with all this vomiting ha!")

But all that morning sicknesswas worth it! Because now, Kellyand Brandon get to welcome theirdaughter into their home, whichthey also share with his 12-year-old daughter Savannah, and 8-year-old son Seth, from a previousrelationship. "I really lucked outwith the whole kids situation,"Kelly said of her stepkids in a

radio interview with Valentine inthe Morning. "They're amazing.""I probably want two more[kids] though," she said at thetime, just weeks before revealingshe already had one baby on theway. "I kind of want to have twoaround the same age."Maybe baby Blackstock willhave another sibling sooner thanyou think!

Kourtney KardashianThrows Scott to the Curb

PHOTO COURTESY

Scott Disick had a rough Fa-ther's Day weekend ...Kourtney Kardashian

threw him out of their Hamptonssummer rental.

Our Kardashian sources sayKourtney was pissed off at Scottfor constantly leaving his familyto party. They got into a nuclearargument at the beginning of theweekend which ended when sheordered him to leave the house.

We're told the conflict is ongoing-- Scott likes to party and Kourt-ney likes to stay home with theirkids. Kourtney is especially upsetbecause when Scott drinks

and parties it often ends badly ...with Scott arguing and fightingwith others.

Kourtney instagrammed Scott onFather's Day, saying, "Thanks forbeing a loving daddy more thananything else." It's unclear if she'sbeing sarcastic.

It's unclear if Kourtney has letScott back in yet ... but one sourcesays this happens a lot, "Same olds**t. They fight, get back to-gether, he parties, she doesn't likeit."
