What is a “hip pocketworkout?” A hippocket workout

(HPW) is nothing more than yourback up workout plan that’s usedwhen your daily schedule is busyand prevents you from makingyour normal workout session.The phrase “hip pocket” is taughtto Marines in leadership positionswho are expected to have learningmaterials ready at all times toteach and train their fellowMarines. The tools can range fromland navigation, job specific train-ing, leadership training, martialarts, and workout routines.The intent and purpose of havinghip pocket material is to ensureevery moment of the day is used toremain focused, disciplined, con-ditioned, and ready for any givenmission. This is a concept that has stayedwith me since leaving the MarineCorps and I now implement itwithin my life and teach it to thosewho train within my facility. The great thing about havingyour own hip pocket workout isthat it’s structured based on yourpersonal capabilities while allow-ing you to stay mentally and phys-ically on track with your healthand fitness goals. In addition, iteliminates excuses and allows youto develop consistent habits ofdaily exercise.

Here is my personal hip pocketworkout I implement when I donot have time to perform my nor-mal workout routine:•100 push-ups•100 pull-ups•100 squats•50 burpees•100 sit-ups

Typically this workout takes me15-20 minutes and provides mewith the sweat and burn I need tostay on track with my training.I provided you with my personal

hip pocket workout only to serveas an example. Your HPW cancontain more or less exercises withdifferent repetition counts, there isno wrong way. I encourage you tocreate your own HPW and use itwhen needed to ensure you remainfocused and committed to yourhealth and fitness goals. If you would like help creatingyour HPW my email address isbelow, please contact me and I willbe sure to respond with sugges-tions.

Classified em-ployees are there to beautify thecampus and keep your childrensafe...and just because they aren’tdirectly in the classroom, doesn’tmean they don’t have just as im-portant of an impact to your child’seducation as teachers do.” Erica Leggette, an RUSD parentand library specialist at Oak Park

Elementary School in the FontanaUnified School District, was alsoamong this year’s award recipi-ents. She touted Carlos for his ef-

forts on bringing to light the rolesclassified employees play.“Classified employees are every-where and we help make things

run just as much as others do in thedistrict,” she said. “We’re a com-munity of education from allsides.”Leggette, a six-year-employee,

was recognized for her leadershipand bringing to life a “LiteracyHub” filled with valuable re-sources for parents at Oak Park El-ementary. “I’m thankful for all the supportI’ve received from my district,”she said. “I’ve been applauded formy failures and even my suc-cesses, and that’s what makes myposition—our (classified) posi-tions—more than meaningful.”The three other employeesawarded Monday includedJohnny Felix, custodian, Endeav-our School of Exploration, VictorElementary School District; AnaMadrid, lead caterer, Oak ViewHigh School, Yucaipa-CalimesaJoint Unified School District; LinaSuliafu, health services assistant,Valley View High School, ChaffeyJoint Union High School District.This is the seventh year the Cali-fornia Department of Educationhas offered the Classified Employ-ees of the Year program.

Many words get thrownaround carelessly andhence tend to lose their

real meaning. The word ‘friend’is a good example. Now, perhaps,we can add another to that list:‘historic’.After Tuesday’s council meetingat San Bernardino City Hall, theword was getting thrown aroundas council members and othercity officials gathered around fora photo op when signing a votedupon and approved document.The deed was an interim agree-ment that now gives the mayor,city manager, city attorney, andthe city council reserved andchecked powers as an alternativeto those listed in the city’s belea-guered charter. Proponents saythat this will help to ensure thatthe aforementioned city officialshave better-defined roles in thequest towards an improved gov-ernment. Councilwoman VirginiaMarquez called it “historic” andfellow member John Valdiviawalked out of the council meet-ing in protest before the 6-0 fa-voring vote could be cast sayingthat the process violated theBrown Act—California’s openmeeting law. Really, in a sense both could beright. This sort of agreement, Ibelieve was acted upon in goodfaith—a move towards holdingelected city officials accountableas they get to work on rightingthe town’s sinking ship. On theother hand, Valdivia has a valid

point—especially so if the gen-eral public did not have an oppor-tunity to have input in theprocess. The Brown Act requiresposting of an agenda and for apublic meeting to be convenedlegally—as in the usual processtaken for a regular city councilmeeting. This did not happen.And yes, for a city to have theproblems it does on the grandscale of a bankruptcy, it behoovesSan Bernardino to do everythingin its power to act in the best in-terest of the public trust—withany indication of skirting the lawto be avoided. Transparency ismandatory.Nonetheless, the bigger problemI have is the banner-waving, fists-in-the-air attitude that some majoraccomplishment has taken place.Now, I must say that Marquezwas one of the leading proponentsto put in place a homeless accesscenter at Seccombe Lake Park—and she took a lot of heat for it. Iadamantly praise her for her ef-forts and hope sincerely that itputs a dent in the vexing issue.But what happened Tuesday nightafter a long, nearly-five-hourcouncil meeting was hardly ofhistoric proportions. We elect our city officials on thepremise that they will carry outthe will of the people. But, if Ihad my druthers, I would prefermy city to gloat on improvingmore mundane conditions such assweeping out the prostitution offBaseline, repairing the mess ofpavement on Waterman, or in-stalling lights on a darkened anddangerous Pacific. We citizens allwant to be safe and prosperous. Itake my hat off to our men andwomen in the police and fire de-partment—as well as the count-less other rank-and-file cityemployees for doing their utmostin this regard.And as a lifelong citizen of acity that has seen much betterdays, I am sickened at the con-stant comparisons SanBernardino gets to Detroit—forboth the unenviable qualities ofbankruptcy and skyrocketingcrime.Until the city leaders as a wholework to the point where the for-mer ‘All-American” city can havean actual solvency plan on thejudge’s desk, get it actually ap-proved, and a real, binding bank-ruptcy plan set in stone—yes beresolved of bankruptcy—will Ionly then agree that somethingtruly historic has taken place.

matters

Potholes have returned, and hit-ting one with your car can do areal number on tires, wheels, steer-ing and suspension, and align-ment. To help determine if hittinga pothole has damaged your vehi-cle, watch for these warning signs.

· Loss of control, swaying whenmaking routine turns, bottomingout on city streets or bouncing ex-cessively on rough roads are indi-cators that the steering andsuspension may have been dam-aged. The steering and suspensionare key safety-related systems. To-gether, they largely determineyour car’s ride and handling. Keycomponents are shocks and/orstruts, the steering knuckle, balljoints, the steering rack/box, bear-ings, seals and hub units and tie

rod ends.

· Pulling in one direction, insteadof maintaining a straight path, anduneven tire wear, are symptoms ofan alignment problem. Properwheel alignment is important forthe lifespan of tires and helps en-sure safe handling.

· Low tire pressure, bulges orblisters on the sidewalls, or dentsin the wheel rim will be visibleand should be checked out as soonas possible, as tires are the criticalconnection between your car andthe road.

If you’ve hit a pothole, it can bedifficult to know if your vehiclehas been damaged in the process,so have a professional technician

check out the car and make thenecessary repairs to ensure safetyand reliability.

San Bernardino welcomes the GreatRace 2015

It’s exciting that such a fun, well-known and positive event is com-ing to San Bernardino. Mosteveryone has heard of the “GreatRace” as they have it every year ina different part of the country.Movies and documentaries havebeen made about it.

This year, it will leave the St.Louis area and come out throughRoute 66. On June 27, they willhave an overnight stay and what agreat welcome San Bernardino hasfor the 110 Great Race cars.

Besides the Great Race cars, wehave planned:

Street closures from E Street toArrowhead Avenue, between Sec-ond and Fourth streets as well asCourt and Third; A free classic carshow for the first 1,000 of 1980and older American cars and mo-torcycles, funny cars, nitro dragcars, wild choppers from the VegasBiker Build-Off, TV and moviecars, 15 gourmet food trucks, ven-dors, professional chili cook-off,band, a veterans’ parade with re-stored World War II jeeps and ve-hicles, antique fire trucks, the 1899Locomobile, which is the firstknown car in San Bernardino, pro-fessional singers, stagecoach rides,

magazine, newspaper and TV cov-erage, and more.

What a fantastic event to bringdowntown San Bernardino back tolife. We have worked hard to makethis the best event to welcomethese nostalgic cars and a goodtime for the residents. We cannotbe kept down and we want SanBernardino to win the award forthe best city sponsorship and wel-coming across their journey. Andwe will.

To save water, we must ban fracking,slow growth

Californians can conserve water.They can remove their lawns andfavor rock gardens and drought-re-sistant plants. They can tell theirwaitresses to hold the water andcan sleep two nights on the samesheets when they go to a motel.They can do all the things recom-mended to save water, but it willall be pointless if we don’t stoptwo things: the exponential grow-ing of more nut farms and fracking

spent oil wells for the methane gasthat is produced.

The nut industry is the darling ofWall Street now, and demand fornew investments is sky high. Thus,enterprising souls are buying upsemi-arid lands and drilling waterwells in the Central Valley. This isunsustainable and insane in a statethat is in a 20-year megadrought.

Fracking is even more insanewhen each spent oil well takes 2million to 8 billion gallons ofwater to frack. There must be5,000 spent oil wells waiting to befracked. Each fracked well pro-duces a burst of methane gas into

the atmosphere. Methane is 25times more destructive to the at-mosphere than carbon dioxide.

The initial billions of gallons ofwater is not the greatest damagedone by fracking. Once the well isfracked, the fracking fluid must bepumped out and disposed of. Thisis done by drilling a disposal wellout of the oil field and pumping thefluid into the ground where iteventually migrates to an aquifer.When this happens, the aquifer canno longer provide drinking waterand can’t be used for agriculture.

Words to Think About: The Legacy of Cesar Chavez

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

Iam writing this article on thebirthdate of Cesar Chavez,March 31, 2015. If he had

lived to that date he would havebeen 88 years old. He was born onMarch 31, 1927, and died on April22, 1993. He was 66 years old.Cesar married Helen Fabela onOctober 22, 1948. She was born onJanuary 21, 1928 and is still livingat age 87. They had eight children:Fernando, Sylvia, Linda, Eloise,Liz, Paul, Anna and Anthony.To my way of thinking, Chavezwas one of the most importantpeople to grace our land. He notonly changed the labor landscapebut significantly and dramaticallychanged our view of the farming

industry.He belongs in the pantheon ofgreatness that includes MahatmaGandhi, Nelson Mandela, MartinLuther King, Jr., and Pope Francis.Along with President LyndonJohnson and his emphasis on CivilRights, President F. D. Rooseveltwith his initiating Social Security,President John F. Kennedy and thePeace Corps, and President BarakObama and Obamacare, and Pres-ident Harry Truman and the G. I.Bill.Our news is inundated with con-cern about the demise of the mid-dle class. Wall Street and bigcorporations possess one percentand control 95 % of the Americaneconomy.It is common knowledge thatNAFTA has further impacted themiddle class by encouraging busi-nesses to move their plants to othercountries in the third world.A parallel to this is the decline ofLabor Unions. Major corporationslike Walmart and states like Wis-consin do battle with labor unionswith their battle cry, “right towork.”The major complaint aboutUnions is evidence of corruption.Which too often is true. JimmyHoffa is often used as an example.But this issue is true in most organ-izations. Even the Catholic Church

has pedophiles. Protestants haveJimmy Swaggerts. Congress hasmany examples of corruption. Toomany to mention.To avoid the Labor Unions manycorporations move to third worldcountries. The wages there arevery low and when the productsget back to America, the productsare outrageous.A few years ago a bumper stickerthat was popular said, “If you canread this, thank a teacher.” Usingthe same approach, with a changeof words, think with me. If youhave a pension, thank the unions.If you have health and dental ben-efits, thank the unions. If you get avacation, thank the unions. If youwork only 40 hours a week, thanka union. If you work in a danger-ous job-coal mine, steel mill, etc.-thank the unions for safetyfeatures. On and on.My Dad was a molder in a cast-iron foundry. He died at age 60from silicosis-the black lung. Heworked without safety precautions.I worked at age 12 in a foundry.Child protection laws came in be-cause of Labor Unions.The prominence of Labor Unionsand their influence goes beyondspecial interests like railroads, re-tail, construction, etc. They influ-enced churches that now havepension and health programs for

the clergy.My advice is simple. If you wantthe return of the Middle Class,support the Labor Unions.Now back to Cesar Chavez. Atage 17 he joined the U.S. Navyand served to the end of World WarII. The inequities and prejudicestoward Hispanics, especially in thefarming communities affected himgreatly. Two men in particularlyset examples for him.Mahatma Gandhi and Martin

Luther King Jr. Gandhi is famousfor-two values that changed thehistory of India. He opposed the“cast system” in India and he ad-vocated a non-violent approach toget change. Without a doubt,Chavez was inspired by him. Bothviews were at the center of CesarChavez’ approach. Non-violenceand fasting. In fact, he would fastseveral weeks at a time, to bringattention to the plight of the FarmWorkers.Chavez was responsible for or-ganizing Mexican workers into theUnited Farm Workers. Under hisleadership he secured a three yearcontract with grape growers; an-other three-year contract withMinute Maid for 55,000 workers.His influence was significant withboth the Democrats and Republi-cans. Chavez was very awareof Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

crediting him with, “showing usthe way.” Paul Chavez says, “Justa month before my father’s death,Dr. King sent a telegram to my fa-ther, who was fasting for 25 daysin Delano, California to rededicatehis movement to non-violence.”Cesar Chavez’ influence madesignificant strides among religiouspeople of all denominations,spheres of education, businessleaders as well as governmentleaders.One of the greatest challengesand meaningful tributes for himcame from Dr. King. He wrote:“AS BROTHERS IN THE FIGHTFOR EQUALITY, I EXTENDTHE HAND OF FELLOWSHIP,AND GOOD WILL AND WISHCONTINUING SUCCESS TOYOU AND YOUR MEMBERS.YOU AND YOUR VALIANTFELLOW WORKERS HAVEDEMONSTRATED YOURCOMMITMENT TO RIGHTINGGRIEVOUS WRONGS FORCEDUPON EXPLOITED PEOPLE.

WE ARE TOGETHERWITH YOU IN SPIRIT AND INDETERMINATION THAT OURDREAMS FOR A BETTER TO-MORROW WILL BE REAL-IZED.”Amen. Selah. So be it.

From drugs, incarcerationto a healthy lifestyle

By MJ Duncan

From the beginning DixieBolan’s life was a chal-lenge. “A failure” is how

she described it. Surrounded bydrugs and alcohol growing up, shewas doomed to become that failureshe describes.“I never had a chance to feel likeI was any type of success story,”she said recently. “It was alwaysjust a bunch of failure – my lifewas a bunch of failure, my momwas a failure, my dad was gone.”Bolan’s mother was a drug addictand the youngster soon followedsuit, starting with methampheta-mines, heroine, crack as well asmarijuana and alcohol. “Every-thing I could get my hands on.”

By the age of 13 Bolan ran awayand embarked on a path of gettingarrested for prostitution, drug pos-session, weapons possession, aloaded firearm in a public place,forgery, battery and possession ofprivate property.During her grants of probationand parole Bolan would continueto violate those terms, and in 2009she lost custody of her four chil-dren.It wasn’t until a plea from herdaughter, “Mommy, please gethelp,” did Bolan decide to seekhelp and make real changes. Withthe help of her probation officershe was accepted into Saint Johnof God Treatment Center with thegoal of regaining custody of herchildren.Even as her probation officer

brought her through the gates ofthe treatment center, Bolan wasstill plotting to run away.“It was a Wednesday, I’ll neverforget, and I thought ‘if I can justmake it ‘til Friday, then I canrun,’” Bolan said. “I always triedto run, always tried to lie and fina-gle my way out of stuff.”It wasn’t until her counselors toldher something she had never heardbefore that she decided to endurethe program, “the sky is not thelimit, the sky is limitless.”It was that turning point that shewas able to allow herself thestrength to turn her life around per-manently. Bolan, now 33, haslearned to put her dysfunctionallifestyle behind her, build genuinerelationships, and to live a healthylifestyle.She has regained custody of hertwo daughters and is excited aboutraising her newborn in a positive,healthy environment. Bolan looksforward to caring for her children,cooking them breakfast, and put-ting them on the school bus.“I get to be a mom to them,” saidBolan, who lives in Victorville.She successfully discharged fromprobation in October 2014.“The one thing I made sure thatI’ve done was stay really involvedin recovery and in programs. I’vedevoted 30 hours a week to Nar-cotics Anonymous meetings, 12-step meetings, going to classes,rehabilitation, substance abuse,cognitive thinking, and learninghow to function,” she said.And now, Bolan knows what shewants to do with her life.“I want to go back to school,” shesaid. “I’m gonna go into drug andalcohol counseling – that’s defi-nitely what I want to do.”

Study hopes to promote walkableneighborhoods

By MJ Duncan

Driving versus walking. Inmany parts of the globeand in communities pep-

pered around the U.S. the latter isthe preferred and/or sole method ofgetting from point A to point B.Unfortunately, the Inland Empireisn’t one of them. A new study con-ducted by UC Riverside is hopingto alter this über dependence on ourvehicles by exploring means of re-designing existing neighborhoodsthat would integrate shopping andhousing. Results of Walk Riversidewill be presented this Thursdayfrom 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the UCRCollege of Engineering – Center forEnvironmental Research and Tech-nology, 1084 Columbia Ave.The study’s researchers are Ju-liann Emmons Allison, UCR Cen-ter for Sustainable SuburbanDevelopment, and Nancy Jimeno, a

lecturer at CSU Fullerton. Theproject began in 2013 and aims toreduce reliance on cars for shop-ping and other activities. The Ar-lington and Ramona neighborhoodsare the focal points of the study.“Walkability is the centerpiece ofaffordable and equitable groundtransportation,” the researcherswrote in the project’s executivesummary. “Walkable communitiesprovide well-maintained sidewalks,paths and other means of physicalaccess to a sufficiently diverse setof places that people can fulfill theirdaily and weekly needs within a 15-minute walk from home. They fa-cilitate social interaction and phys-ical fitness, improve localeconomies and reduce crime, andsupport overall wellness and sus-tainability.”New urbanism is a form of devel-opment that improves public healththrough planning and urban design

by integrating shopping and hous-ing in a pedestrian-friendly envi-ronment. Plans can include publictransit, wider sidewalks, reduced orslowed vehicular traffic and localinvestment to integrate businessesinto the neighborhoods.Allison, whose research in the lastdecade has focused on urban plan-ning issues, said the team’s recom-mendations will suggest ways “tomove from a traditional suburbanneighborhood to a sustainable oneand will become the template forother communities.”

Allison is the principal investiga-tor for the CSSD’s portion of theproject. She is an associate profes-sor of gender and sexuality studiesand public policy. Her research andteaching interests emphasize polit-ical economy, environmental poli-tics and policy, andcommunity-based social change,

especially as it relates to the gen-dered dimensions of environmentalsustainability and conflict resolu-tion.Nancy Jimeno, who earned herM.A. and Ph.D. degrees in politicalscience at UCR, is a lecturer inAmerican government and Califor-nia politics at CSU Fullerton. Herresearch interest in the role of landuse decision-making for improvingthe quality of life in communitiesderives from her experiences as afifth-generation southern Californ-ian who has experienced unsettlingchanges associated with the state’srapid growth.The presentation, “Walk River-side: Community-based Planningfor Sustainable Lifestyles,” is freeand open to the public. It is part ofthe Randall Lewis Seminar Seriespresented by the UCR Center forSustainable Suburban Develop-ment (CSSD).

Women Empowerment Through Art

By Michael Segura,Community Writer

Art can be instrumental tobring forth awareness forissues affecting our soci-

ety; with its ability to provokeemotion it becomes a catalyst forchanging our culture with the dia-logue it creates.Women's Month, which took

place during March, provided SanBernardino Valley College an op-portunity to host empoweringevents. They consisted of a Chi-cana feminist workshop, a viewing

of a documentary called Killing UsSoftly which depicts how womenare portrayed in the media, and anArt Pop Up Booth that took placeon March 30. Curated by M.E.Ch.A. memberNikki Arce, the Pop Up Art Boothaimed to open up the minds andeyes of students about the harsh re-ality of issues that both young andelder women face in our modernday society. “Unfortunately women get

abused and they cover it up withmakeup," said Nancy Perez, theartist behind the artwork entitled

Cover Up—a pastel piece depict-ing a young lady staring into a mir-ror covering up her bruises withmakeup. "What are they covering?Be truthful even though it hurts.People can learn from what you'regoing through.” Another controversial piece was

Invisible Weight, created by NikkiArce and Elda Camarena. Thedisplay consists of three differentweight scales. All of the scaleswere broken and had numberspainted in a blood ranging from 75lbs to 341 lbs. There are negativewords replacing the area where

you usually read your weight. Thestigma about weight in our societyinduces hate about one self’s bodyweight, fear about their appear-ance, and pain for feeling as if theyare not good enough the way theyare."Some people do fear stepping on

a scale because of the number theyare going to see,” Arce said. “Ithink it’s something people need toself reflect on because weight isjust a number; it does not defineyou.”Leslie Martin an Art student at

SBVC said she agrees with the art-

works and their message towomen.“I think it’s so important. I like

that she’s bringing this up becauseI have issues with that myselfabout losing weight,” explainedLeslie. “We need to put it out thereto let them know its not all aboutour body and the physical appear-ances but what’s inside.”Other clubs who participated in-

clude the Art Club, Alpha GammaSigma, the Writer's Block, and thePsych Club.

Carter's 2-time SAL title team starts new erawith 4-0 win in CBL opener

By Harvey M. Kahn

Carter High School base-ball players re-introducedthemselves to the Citrus

Belt League with an impressive 4-0 win at Yucaipa in the conferenceopener for both teams on Tuesday.Sophomore Anthony Villegas ac-cepted the challenge of Cartercoach Samuel Lopez to pitch theopener and in the process earnedhis first high school win. Villegaswas an emergency starter and re-sponded by shutting out heavy hit-ting Yucaipa over the entire seveninnings while allowing five hits,with four strikeouts and did notwalk a batter.Carter improves to 10-4 this sea-son. The Lions have returned tothe CBL after performing in theSan Andreas League the past twoseasons where it won two SAL ti-tles with exact 14-1 records. Lopezsaid he informed Villegas beforethe Yucaipa game that it was timefor him to come into his own. "Itold him that today was going to be

his big day and it was," saidLopez.Villegas said he relied on histeam's defense and other than that,tried not to think to much. "I justdid it. There was no joking around.I didn't do anything special," saidVillegas. "I threw some curves,fastball's and some change-upsearly in the game." The only YHSbase runner to reach second basewas Erik Sandoval, who doubledin the sixth.Villegas was backed by histeam's ten hits, highlighted by asolo home run in the seventh byIsaiah Davis, who finished bygoing 2-for-4 with two RBI. Team-mate Valentine Douglas went 2-for-3 with a run scoring triple.Marcos Castanon and Roger Fairadded two hits each. Davis, Cas-tanon and Fair are each battingover .400.Carter enters the CBL with plentyof experienced talent. ChrisLujan, Adam Lovell, RyanMaestas and Luis Hernandez areplaying varsity for a fourth season.

Lujan is a two-time All-SAL per-former who led the team as afreshman with 30 hits and 20 RBIand added a .366 batting average.Castanon, a first team All-SAL lastseason as a freshman, had a teamhigh 35 hits and compiled a .407average. Eduardo Martinez hit.453 last year and was also All-SAL. Davis hit .349 last seasonand senior Adam Lovell finished at.328.It will not be easy for Lopez toreplace the graduated Jesse Gonza-les, a All-CIF performer who bat-ted .436 and posting a 10-1 recordas a pitcher, but now performs atUCR. All-SAL pitcher JohnLadazuri also graduated aftergoing 8-2 last season. Although itstoo early to tell, Lopez is hopingthe young Villegas can remain inthe starting rotation. Senior RickyHernandez has won a startingspot after putting up an early 3-2record with a 3.71 ERA. Anothersenior, Noah Ford has a impressive2-1 mark with two saves and a1.78 ERA. Robert Serrano is cur-

rently 2-0, with a 1.35 ERA. With a grueling 14-game CBLseason against some fierce opposi-tion, Lopez will likely need thearms of Evan Fatino and AndrewAvalos. There were reports thatDavis could also become a pres-ence on the mound. Lujan, Mar-tinez, Castanon and Davis say theywelcome the new CBL competi-tion. "Yes. It's a higher level andit's good to be back in the CBL,"said Lujan, who played in the CBLas a freshman. "We'll have thesame approach but better competi-tion will make us better as a team,"said Martinez. Castanon added that he loves thechance at new competition. Hetook it a step further. "Not only doI think we'll win the league cham-pionship, I know we will." Thepower hitting Davis took a differ-ent view. He feels his team's strongpoint is defense. "The reason we'rea good team is that it's a goodgroup of guys who bond together."

Yucaipa blanksCarter 1-0

By Richard Dawson

One early miscue by Carterproved that be the differ-ence in a 1-0 loss to Yu-

caipa during Citrus Belt Leagueaction at San Manuel Stadium onApril 4. The County Clash nightcap wasquick-paced and featured strongpitching performances from bothCarter (10-5, 1-1 league) starterRicky Hernandez and Yucaipa (8-6, 1-1 league) starter JosephChapman.Hernandez hadn’t quite found hiscommand in the top of the firsthowever, as he walked lead-off hit-ter Tyler VanMarter, retiredWilliam Reyes on a come-backer,and then walked Hunter Reade toput two-on with one out for thecleanup hitter Chapman, who is atouted prospect for his pitching butswings a good bat. VanMartergrabbed a good lead after the firstpitch to Chapman, prompting anerrant pickoff attempt by Hernan-

dez that ended up in centerfield, al-lowing VanMarter to score for anearly 1-0 Yucaipa lead. Chapmanwalked before Cory Mooregrounded into a double play to endthe threat. The one run was all Chapmanwould need as the senior crushedthrough five innings, limiting theLions offense to two hits and twowalks while striking out three toearn the win. Meanwhile, Hernandez settled inand allowed just four hits and fourwalks and the one earned runwhile he weaved his way throughseven innings. Lefty senior Austin Amante,who was celebrating his birthday,tossed two scoreless innings in re-lief to pick up the save for Yucaipa. Yucaipa travels to Cajon as CBLaction continues on April 7 beforereturning home to play the Cow-boys on April 9. Carter will look to bounce backat home and away in two matchupsagainst CBL newcomer Citrus Val-ley on those same days.

Bloomington hangs on tobeat Colton 10-8

By Richard Dawson

It was the comeback that was-n’t, and the Bruins are justfine with that.

Bloomington held off a seventhinning rally by Colton to win 10-8during the County Clash at SanManuel Stadium on Saturday,April 4. Starting pitcher AbrahamRamirez had been cruisingthroughout the one-sided affairwith Bloomington taking an eight-run lead into Colton’s last at-bats,but that is when the Yellowjackets(7-7, 2-2 league) started to heat upagainst their Sunkist League rivals. Walks to Chris Wood and PeterReyes sandwiched a single by Ri-cardo Aguirre to load the baseswith no outs. Matthew Rossanofollowed with an RBI single andthe bases stayed loaded, but not forlong. Catcher Andrew Mckeehandrilled a 2-1 pitch over the leftfielder for three-run double toclose the gap to 10-6, still with noouts. Javier Hernandez wasbrought in on relief and allowed asingle to Jared Campa to scoreanother run before recording con-secutive strikeouts. Singles byAlex Mckeehan and Wood madeit 10-8, bringing the tying run tothe plate in Aguirre, but Hernandezinduced a game-ending flyball toleft to seal the game for the Bruins(9-5, 2-2). Bloomington was up 2-0 aftertwo innings, but did most of itsdamage in the third. Three-consec-utive one-out singles by DillonKrah, Ramirez and Mike Adamsmade it 3-0. Jake Martin added atwo-run double to left-center toend the day for Colton starter AlexMckeehan. Johnny Romerocapped off the four-run inning withan RBI double off Kris Camar-illo. The Bruins added two more inthe fourth and seventh to build a10-2 lead. Ramirez picked up the win de-spite the rough seventh, strikingout four in the process. Johnsonfinished with three hits in the gameto lead the Bruins.

Easter egg hunt event gathers communityat Indian Springs

By Anthony Victoria,Community Writer

San Bernardino youngstersscavenged for some 30,000eggs during the Kingdom

Culture Worship Center’s (KC)fifth-annual Easter Egg Hunt thattook place at Indian Springs HighSchool on Saturday April 4. Hundreds of people attended theevent, where residents alsomunched on free food and bever-ages, and partook in free live enter-tainment and games. The event was first held in2010—the year the Kingdom Cul-ture Worship opened it’s center inSan Bernardino. KC has servedover 2,000 people in the city, for thesake of providing, “the life givingpower of Jesus Christ.”“The whole idea is to give re-sources to the community,” saidpastors Sherman and JaquetDumas. “In other words it is the,‘Gift of Giving’. We want the com-munity to receive benefit.”Mrs. Dumas, with the help of sev-eral children, told the story of JesusChrist to a small crowd. The chil-dren were all given items that rep-resented the story: a donkey--the

animal Jesus used rode intoJerusalem that also represented hishumility--and silver coins, whichrepresented Judas greed and be-trayal. Mrs. Dumas emphasized theneed to recognize the true impor-tance of Easter Sunday.“Easter is more than eggs, candy,or a bunny,” she emphasized. “It isabout the story of Jesus Christ. Wecannot take that for granted.”Manuel Huerta of San

Bernardino, whose son Aiden, 2,participated in the toddler egg hunt,said events like these help childrenbuild good memories.“This is his first Easter,” he said.“I’m sure he won’t forget it.”Students from Indian SpringsHigh School, San BernardinoValley College, and Cal State SanBernardino volunteered during theevent. In addition, Nestle and NewVision Academy of San Bernardino

donated the candy and the eggs. “It has truly been a community-wide effort,” Mr. Dumas said. “Wedo this to serve [the community]because we love the community.”

Brown hosts water roundtablefollowing passage of

$1 Billion Water Package

Key water district leadersassembled for a meetinghosted by Assemblymem-

ber Cheryl R. Brown (D-SanBernardino) on Thursday, April 2,to discuss top priorities and fundingopportunities following the passageof AB 91 and AB 92, the emer-gency drought relief packagesigned by Governor Brown onFriday, March 27. These new laws were drafted andexpedited because of the increasingseverity of drought conditions. Thelaw will allocate over $1 billion,which will fund various water proj-ects in the most impacted areas. “As a region, we need to work to-gether to secure the dedicated fund-

ing to protect our water supply,”said Assemblymember Brown. “Ifwe don’t start looking at how we’regoing to maximize that fundingacross the state, we’re going to beleft behind.”Currently, the legislation will add$72 million to the General Fund,$272 million to Prop 1, $660 mil-lion to Prop 1E, and $57 million tovarious other projects. “Although this funding is just afraction of what’s needed, it shouldhelp stabilize our existing sup-plies,” said AssemblymemberBrown. The meeting, attended by countyadministrative and district leadersfrom San Bernardino Water

Dept., Fontana Water Company,West Valley Water District,Colton Public Utilities, SanBernardino Valley MunicipalWater District, and SanBernardino County PublicWorks, also discussed water stor-age, groundwater replenishment,water efficiency campaigns, waterquality for fish and wildlife, and theBay Delta Conservation Plan. “The Bay Delta Conservation

Plan is a local benefit to us,” saidAldstadt. “Groundwater has to bereplenished, otherwise we have tostart lowering groundwater levels.Normally we would get snowmeltfrom Big Bear and Lake Arrow-head, but we’re not getting that.We’re all connected to the Delta soif we can’t get water supplies andwe don’t have natural recharge, wehave to rely on artificial recharge,which is recycled water or the StateProject.” Water conservation efforts con-tinue to be a critical component ofwater management. On Tuesday,Governor Brown issued an Execu-tive Order mandating restrictivewater use. In his document, he di-rected the State Water ResourcesControl Board to impose a manda-tory 25 percent reduction in statewater resources. “For the past several years, our re-gion has been an innovator in waterconservation, turf replacement pro-grams, water efficient products, andthe use of recycled water. We needto continue to conserve as muchwater as possible and address ourwater needs,” said Assemblymem-ber Brown. “Our future depends onthe decisions we make today.” For more information, contactAshley Jones at (909) 381-3238.
