can see this growing over theyears as we continue to add moredetails to these murals. Our plan isto paint even more murals on thisspot and also to open a bookstoreand art gallery in the future,” saidprinciple artist Phil Yeh. Philipcoined the mural project as “themost detailed murals in theworld.”The project began as a form oftherapy for Yeh, whom after suf-fering a stroke, was unable to usehis right hand. “The whole SanBernardino mural project startedwhen I painted a MIA-POW logoon the Inland Empire Military Mu-seum a couple of years ago spon-sored by my friend Jim Valdez, aveteran himself. Since both thismuseum and the McDonalds Mu-seum are owned by Albert Okura,we got to talking about painting amore detailed work of art on theside of his building; somethingthat truly celebrates the many ac-complishments that took place inthis city,” said Yeh. Three years

into the project Yeh is now able touse his right hand and paint in de-tail. One of the muralists, BethWinokur, is writing a book aboutthe murals in which it will detailand background the subjects onthe murals. The book will also in-clude images of the murals, whichdepict San Bernardino’s rich his-tory. Some of the people in themural include Edith Head, whowon eight Academy Awards; GeneHackman, who won two; HoytCurtain, who composed manyHana Barbara classic songs in-cluding “The Flintstones,” “TheJetsons,” and “Top Cat.” The north side of the mural de-picts all of Route 66 in Californiafrom the end of the highway inSanta Monica through SanBernardino County. This portionof the mural project is currentlybeing painted and is expected totake another year to complete. “We are painting bikes ridingwest to Santa Monica on themural. Rory and I have alsopainted some bigger motorcycles

in the foreground. I was inspired todraw by looking at Hal‟s cartoonswhile in high school in the early„70s. We became friends shortlybefore he passed away of cancer inthe 80s. Hal really had a greatstyle, but when we met he told mehe never rode a motorcycle,”added Yeh.Sponsors for the San BernardinoCounty side include: Loma LindaUniversity & Hospital;Arrowhead Medical Center; Red-lands Paint Company; SanBernardino Paint Company; Sher-win Williams Paint Company;Millcreek Cattle Company; DaleBrothers Brewery; Tofurkey;Beanfield Chips; Two Guys Pizza& Pasta; Mattel Toys; The OntarioAirport; Speedball Art Supplies;The Los Angeles Athletic Club;and Country Inn & Suites in Red-lands.The public is invited to view theartists at work every Tuesday andThursday from 8:00 a.m. to noon,weather permitting.

A City Assignment:The last time I wrote this column

a nine member Volunteer Citizen-Based Charter Committee for theCity of San Bernardino had beenappointed. Little did I imagine thatI would agree to sit on the commit-tee when one of the appointees de-cided to step down. Meeting everyTuesday from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m thiscommittee is receiving input fromthe public, the city manager andcity departments while examiningcharters from other cities.

Gloria’sCorner

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

For most of my life I’ve beenfascinated by short, pithyphrases that convey pro-

found truths. Or ideas that I cantranslate into meaningful truths.“Give me liberty or give me death.”(Patrick Henry.) “We have nothingto fear, but fear itself.” (F.D. Roo-sevelt.) “Know thyself.” (Socrates.)“To thine own self be true.” (Shake-speare.) “In God we trust.” Anon.)And, “Earth’s crammed withheaven, and every common bushaflame with God; but only thosewho see take off their shoes. Therest sit around plucking blackber-ries.” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)All of these pack truths that stim-

ulate my mind. But there is anotherphrase that bothers me. It is an un-common phrase that is almost neverquoted. I first heard it many yearsago, used by an old black preacherin South Florida. The references aretoo many to list.

It is used 453 times in the Bible.(KJV) The text for his sermon wassimple, “IT CAME TO PASS.” Hisinterpretation was unusual. It cer-tainly wasn’t theologically correct.But it got my attention and hope-fully yours.

His basic premise or idea wassimple. “IT” refers to all the nega-tive, unpleasant, difficult, failures,griefs that come our way. Theycause pain, tears, grief, depression,loneliness and separations.

But, and it is an important “but.”He said, “They will pass. They arenot permanent. As certainly as theywill come, they will go. Hang inthere. Trust in God. His arms areunderneath you.”

If you’ve ever been to a blackservice you know what happened

then. Rejoicing, jubilation, shout-ing, praising God. It (they) came topass. Life is too short to stay miser-able.The passing of time changes

events in our lives. Insight and wis-dom erases much of the sting of re-jection. Our beliefs bring hope andcomfort. BUT SO DOES THEHELPFULNESS OF OTHERS.

As an example a friend recentlysent me a story. He did not tell meif it was true or merely an urban leg-end. I’ll condense it. A well-dressedlady confronted a down-and-out va-grant sitting on the sidewalk. Shespoke kindly but he was affronted.“Leave me alone” he growled.To his amazement she stayed

looking at him. “Are you hungry?”she said. Sarcastically he replied,“No, I’ve just come from the Presi-dent. Now go away. Leave mealone.”

A cop shows up and asks if shehas a problem. “No. But will youhelp me to get this man inside? I’mgoing to get him something to eatand out of the cold.”

“Jack, this is a good deal for you.Don’t blow it,” the officer an-swered. Finally, the lady and the po-liceman got Jack into the cafeteria.The manager was angry that a per-son like Jack was in his restaurant.The lady said, “Sir, are you aware

of the banking firm across thestreet?” He was, for he did businesswith it. “Sir, I am Penelope Eddy,president and CEO of the com-pany.”She then sat down across from

Jack and said, “Jack, do you re-member me?” He responded, “Ithink so—I mean you do look fa-miliar.” “I’m a little older,” she said.“Maybe I’ve filled out more than inmy younger days. When youworked here, I came in that door,

cold and hungry. I had come to thiscity looking for a job, but couldn’tfind anything. I walked the streets.It was February and I was nearlystarving.With only a few cents I came into

this cafeteria hoping to get some-thing to eat.”

Jack lit up with a smile. “Now Iremember,” he said. “You came upand asked if you could work forsomething to eat.”

Penelope responded, “You said itwas against company policy. Thenyou made me the biggest roast beefsandwich, that I had ever seen andgave me a cup of coffee. And then Isaw you put the price of my food inthe cash register. I knew then thateverything would be all right.” OldJack knew she had started her ownbusiness.

“I got a job that afternoon. Iworked my way up and eventuallystarted my own business. With thehelp of God, it prospered. Today Iown this building and this restau-rant.”She then gave Jack her business

card and told him to pay a visit to aMr. Bob Lyons, her personnel direc-tor. “He’ll find a place for you andgive you an advance. I’ve alreadycalled him.”

There were tears in the old man’seyes.

“How can I ever thank you?” hesaid. “Don’t thank me, thank God.He led me to you.”

Outside the cafeteria, the officerand Penelope chatted for a few min-utes. “Thank you, Ms. Eddy, I sawa miracle today. Something that Iwill never forget.”The moral of this story? GOD

CLOSES DOORS NO ONE CANOPEN. AND GOD OPENSDOORS NO ONE CAN CLOSE.Amen Selah. So be it.

April 30, 1999 was a day that hasmade a huge difference in the livesof 1000's of Inland Empire fami-lies! Little did the founders of TheUnforgettables realize the impactthat was being created!Montecito Mortuary Chapel atthe intersection of Loma Linda,Colton and San Bernardino wasthe meeting site for 30 local lead-ers as the Loma Linda UniversityChildren's Hospital Chaplain TimEvans presented and explained hisidea of how to meet a previouslyunmet community need. And withthe groups unanimous support andcommitment of personal wealth,wisdom and hard work as volun-teers that evening, The Unforget-tables Foundation was created.Fifteen years later, 5000 grievingand at-risk families have receivedessential and critically needed be-reavement support for especiallythe funding of a simple and digni-fied funeral for a child. In 2013,the group aided almost 300 cases,and now, has been of assistance toparents in over 100 SoCal com-

munities in the decade and a halfof service by this unique missionof mercy. The cause has alsospread as a very practical idea toOrange County, to Las Vegas andClark County, Nevada, and to 2major children’s hospitals inCanada--in Toronto and Ottawa!On May 8, over 250 SanBernardino County charities willpartner on the inaugural GiveBigevent--a 24 hr on-line fund-raisingand awareness raising campaign.As part of that celebration of giv-ing and volunteerism, The Unfor-gettables, a truly grassroots,volunteer driven and founded501(c)(3) non-profit charity willbe asking friends, donors, volun-teers and families served to give$15 or more on line at www.sb-countygivebig.org in honor of the5000+ mom's and grandmoms andaunt's helped over the years attheir families darkest hour on theMothers Day weekend, and the15th Birthday of the cause that hasbecome synonymous with child-hood death and burial support.

Founder Tim Evans states, "TheUnforgettables, according toeHow.com, is a real one of a kindcause offering comprehensivesupport and monies when children18 years to 32 weeks of gestation,for all causes of death, and fromany race or religion have died andneed help for their loved ones leftbehind to afford the funeral. Wehonor children & help their par-ents".Go to www.unforgettables.orgfor more ways you can GiveBIGon May 8 or send your birthdaydonations directly to the smallcharities office at 345 Pearl St.,#230, Redlands, Ca. 92374. Allgifts are tax deductible and will godirectly to help fund simple digni-fied funerals for local children.For more information contactMr. Evans at 909.335.1655 or hiscell phone at 909.855.3130.

The Unforgettables ask you to GIVE BIG on May 8

Extending the Gold Line to On-tario International Airport is a ter-rible idea. First of all a Gold Lineextension from the west coversonly about a third of ONT’s catch-ment; it does nothing for Fontana-San Bernardino orRiverside-Corona. Secondly themajor advantage of light rail is fordaily repeat trips to work orschool; light rail is extremely un-

profitable for twice-a-year trips toan airport.

So why do our boosters push thissolution? To get our share of “free”federal tax dollars for constructionof expensive right of way, trainstations and parking lots. How-ever, these free tax dollars comefrom our income taxes, and proba-bly from future increased sales tax.

If we need to create a few thou-sand construction jobs for one totwo years, let’s spend these dollarson solutions that would really ben-efit the public, such as retrofitting

our aged hospitals, schools androads, and on low-cost housing. Ifyou want to get some estimate ofthe market for ONT transportation,why not have Omnitrans run CNGshuttle busses for $1 or even forfree,, from existing underusedMetrolink parking lots in Mont-clair, San Bernardino or Riversideusing existing freeways or citystreets?

Michael Klein,Claremont

No Gold Line to ONT

Many believe that raising theminimum wage to $15 per hour ormore will solve income disparity.I as well as Warren Buffet believethat this is not the solution to clos-ing the gap between the rich andthe now poor middle class.

What we have now in America isan abundance of cheap labor. I rec-ommend that all should take ad-vantage of this opportunity. Ourfederal government has billions inloan guarantees by way of theSmall Business Administration tofund anyone who has the gumptionto invest in themselves and start

their own small business.

When I had the first thought ofopening my own business I tookmy father’s advice. He told me thatstarting a business of your owntakes 10 percent cash and 90 per-cent guts. Fortunately, I had the 10percent cash and I finally got upthe guts against all odds to openthat business. I realized that Icould make just as good or better adecision as any boss I had ever hadand more importantly I realizedthat I would work harder for my-self and my family than I wouldfor any employer.

Now is the time of opportunity.There is an abundance of cheaplabor. There is a need for a zillionnew products and services. Onlyby getting involved in the econ-omy, taking a chance and provid-ing a better business that will inturn provide better wages for allwill this economy close the gapbetween the rich and the diminish-ing middle class.

Former Colton High quarterback Johnny Brasciadanced himself to Broadway

The list of exceptional ath-letes graduating fromColton High goes back

How-ever, the late Johnny Brascia wasMorrow's only future Broadwaydancer.Many Broadway critics consid-ered Brascia in the same breathe asGene Kelly, Fred Astaire andSammy Davis, Jr. Brascia did notnearly have the same name recog-nition, yet he was the favorite ofElvis Presley and the younger gen-eration. His dance numbers wereincluded in shows of Frank Sina-tra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin,Steve McQueen and Lena Horn.Brascia was in eight feature lengthmovies, including the 1954 "WhiteChristmas' classic. For 30 years hisdance partner was Tybee Afra. Hisother top rung partners were CydCharisse and Vera-Ellen."We were on Colton's basketball

team together when I was a soph-omore and he was a senior," saidRoy Cook. "Tex Drummond and Iwere brought up from the JV. Ididn't have much conversationwith Johnny and didn't know himother than on the court. Back then,the younger player's idolized thestarters. I looked up to Johnny."

Cook said that Brascia nevershowed any indication in highschool of going into the perform-ing arts. He was also in the ColtonHS baseball team picture."I was very surprised when I saw

his name on the marquee in LasVegas. It was in the early 1960'sand I hadn't heard anything abouthim since he left Colton HS. It'stoo bad. I don't think too many ofus from Colton knew about hislater accomplishments," saidCook. "He was a great athlete who

turned out to be a multi-talentedguy. Thinking back, he did havegood balance. There are many per-formers who were once athletes,but not many of them were quar-terbacks who became Broadwaydancers."Cook called Brascia's accom-plishments even more worthywhen you consider the era. Cookagreed that male dancer's were notconsidered masculine. Cook saidthat Brascia's father, Gaetanoowned a liquor store in Colton on

Highway 99, which is now ValleyBoulevard. Brascia's mother wasCatarina. His late brother, Vincentwas a varsity tennis player atColton High. There is a three-year time periodin Brascia's life that goes unac-counted. The void exists from hisJune 1950 graduation at CHS untilhis Broadway debut in 1953.Newspaper columnist WalterWinchell reported that before star-dom, Brascia was ejected fromParamount Studios after climbing

a wall so he could gawk at the Hol-lywood stars. Historian Harry Car-son Frye guesses that Brascia mayhave served for two years in theKorean War. "In that time, the mil-itary drafted guys right out of highschool. That would explain thosemissing years. He might havelearned to dance professionally inthe military," said Frye.

Brascia died in 2013 at age 80.Attempts to contact his daughterChristina McNown were unsuc-cessful.

According to Hitchman, hebegan donating blood “about1980” at the urging of his wife,

Jean.“She told me, ‘You make thesame excuses everyone else makesfor not doing it.’ She was right.“And once I started, and learnedwhere the blood goes, and how ithelps people, it was easy to makethe decision to become a regulardonor.”Jean has donated whole bloodmore than 120 times; her 15-gal-lons plus puts her in elite companyas a member of LifeStream’s 10-Gallon Donor Club. Since 1987, Bob Hitchman hasdonated platelets, which can becollected biweekly up to 24 timesper year. He has maintained thatdonation schedule, with very few

exceptions, for more than a quartercentury.The next generation of Hitch-mans has taken the cue from theirparents.Sons Robert IV, a police officer,and Buddy, a firefighter, both areregular blood donors.Bob III began volunteer coachingat San Gorgonio High School in2000, when Robert IV enrolled inthe school. Robert IV and Buddygraduated from SGHS in 2004 and2006, respectively, but the elderHitchman still volunteer coachesduring fall and spring semesters.

International best-selling author gives lecture on“The Perception of Muslims in Post 9/11 America”

By anthony Victoria

Reza Aslan’s visit to SanBernardino Valley Col-lege on April 23 provided

students with a platform to discusstopics about religion, ethnicity,racism, and culture.

The renowned author andprofessor of creative writing at theUniversity of California, Riversidefirst met with several students andfaculty during an invitation-onlydinner and answered several ques-tions relating to his new bookZealot: The Life and Times ofJesus of Nazareth which was theNew York Times’ bestseller in2013.He has been subjected to a lot ofcontroversy due to his views on re-ligion in recent times. Fox Newsreporter Lauren Green challengedAslan’s authority on the topic ofJesus during an interview in Julyof 2013, by stating why a Muslimwould write about Jesus in the firstplace. He responded by explainingthat he wrote the book as a Histo-rian and not a Muslim.Dennis Sandoval sat with Aslanduring the dinner and describedthe dialogue that occurred betweenthe novelist and students. The Eth-nic Studies and History student ex-plained the discussion revolvedaround issues that varied from phi-losophy, racism, and mainstreammedia.“When 9/11 happened for exam-

ple, the first thing that everyonewanted to do is put a face to theperpetrator,” said Sandoval. “Oncethey put the Muslim face out there,that’s when everyone began tolook at Muslims in a different lightby thinking these were people wecan’t trust or we can’t associateourselves with. It’s an unfortunatethat we are like that here in theUnited States. We often try to labelcertain groups as radicals.”Aslan’s lecture titled, “Fear Inc.– The Perception of Muslims inPost 9/11 America”, touched onmany of Sandoval’s sentiments.He began his lecture by explainingthat the United States—a country

of immigrants, cannot define itscollective identity based on a com-mon ethnicity, culture, language,or religion.“These are the things that havedefined the nation-state since itsbeginning,” said Aslan. “Thewhole notion of a nation-state wasthis idea that you can get a homog-enous group of individuals, placea border around them, and callthem a nation-state, but there wasnothing homogenous about us inthis country. But we had no choiceto define ourselves according to ashared sense of ideals, principles,and values.”Aslan proceeded to explain that

the perceived backlash againstMuslims that occurred in post-9/11America never happened like mostU.S. residents believe. On the con-trary, he explained that there werecalls for unification and rallying tofight against the ideological con-flict that the War on Terror is per-ceived as.“In this war of ideas, the best toolthat we have at our disposal is the3 million or so American Muslimswho are currently integrated intoevery aspect of American society,”Aslan said. According to the internationalbest-selling author, two-thirds ofU.S. residents believe Muslims

should not have the same rights asother religious groups in the na-tion, one-half believe that Islamicand American values conflict witheach other, and one-third (about100 million U.S. residents) thinkthat Muslims should be forced tocarry special ID’s that identifythem. He jokingly told everyoneattendance that, “there’s an anal-ogy there but I can’t quite put myfinger on it,” possibly referring tothe similarities of the Star of Davidused to identify Jewish residents ofEurope during the Holocaust.“I can sit here all day and giveyou all kinds of graphs, surveys,and data, but it’s not going to mat-ter, it’s not going to change any-one’s mind,” he said. “This is thething. We have this belief that big-otry is the result of ignorance. Butthat’s not the case. There’s a lot ofsmart bigots in this world.”Aslan continued by explainingthat the problem is that data doesnot change people’s perception re-garding anti-Muslim sentiments.The reason for that as Aslan statedis that bigotry resides in the heartand not in the mind.“There is this kind of disintegra-tion in how we view our diver-sity,” he said. “The easiest way todefine yourself is in opposition tothe other. What does it mean to bean American? To a small popula-tion, it means not being Muslim.Everything that is said about Mus-lims was also said about Catholics,Jews, Japanese, and any othermajor immigrant community inthis community.”

By Cynthia Mendoza

The United States and In-land Empire will be wellrepresented at the second

Asia-Pacific Economic Corpora-tion (APEC) Youth Skills Camp inChina at the end of May by InlandEmpire Job Corp student Asha

Johnson, who was recently se-lected for the honor.A Riverside resident, Johnson isa student at in the electrical tradeprogram at the Inland Empire JobCorps Center in Muscoy. Uponcompletion of her program inMay, she is giving serious thoughtto staying on another year and ahalf to two year to obtain her asso-ciates degree and perhaps pursueelectronics as well. Her long-termgoal is to work for an informationtechnology (IT) department or cre-ating her own products.In order to be considered for theopportunity students had to inter-view with regional Job Corps lead-ers and Johnson impressed themall very much and she was selectedas the representative.“I didn’t think they’d chose me,”Johnson said about the opportunityto represent the United States atthe APEC Camp. “I didn’t think Ihad a chance. But once I’m thereit will be a great chance to provethat I deserve it.”The APEC Youth Skills Campwas created to promote vocationalskills training and generate aware-ness for the importance of skilledtrades in economies around theworld.“Asha is an extraordinary younglady and is the epitome of whatJob Corps is all about,” said Clau-dia Lopez, Business and Commu-

nity Liaison Inland Empire JobCorps Center, in an official state-ment from the Job Corps. “We arevery honored and proud she willbe representing the Inland EmpireJob Corps Center.”But like many other youth whocome to the Job Corps in search ofnew opportunities, Johnson wasnot without her share of struggles.Prior to joining the Job CorpsJohnson had custody of youngersiblings, ages eight and 12. Whenshe joined the program they wentto live with their mother but all thesame, Johnson says she wants tobe able to provide for them, whichwas one of the big motivators inpursuing a better education.“I want to be there for them andto be a good role model,” she said.Her time at the Job Corps hasbeen very well invested thus farand Johnson encourages otheryoung people to give it a try.“It’s a great opportunity to havean edge you may not have other-wise,” she says. “It’s an opportu-nity o be taken seriously. Takeadvantage of it.”And for those who may be facingchallenges and difficulties, shealso offers words of encourage-ment.“Just keep trying,” she says.“Even the worst day of your life isjust 24 hours. You’ll always havehighs and lows.”

Art Jam highlights mentorship provided by CSUSB students,San Bernardino community

By Anthony Victoria

For two months, college stu-dents, community leaders,and teachers worked with

students from various elementaryschools in San Bernardino on artprojects that range from photogra-phy, to drawing, to poetry andprose.The impact of the “Be part of theArt” program was significantenough to garner the attention oftheir parents and soon enough theytoo began to grab brushes and en-gage in the fun activity.One particular parent, Arturo Oliv-era, was influenced by his daughter10-year-old Justine to participate. “I don’t know how to draw thatwell, but I draw what I see and whatI imagine,” he said. “My daughterkept on asking me to come becauseshe said this could be an importantstep for her, so I decided to comeout and support.”On Saturday April 26, the SanBernardino County Museum heldthe Art Jam to highlight the work ofthe young students and celebrate theimportance of the Arts and Human-ities. Volunteers who organizedclasses and workshops—formallyreferred to as “pods”—were mainlystudents from Cal State SanBernardino’s Students and Coyotes:Instruction in Poetry and Prose(SCIPP) program and student/com-munity organizers from the SanBernardino Generation Now group. For many of the elementary stu-dents and parents, it was a relativelynew experience, according toCSUSB English Juan Delgado. Byworking with the undergraduate andgraduate students involved in theSCIPP program and English andMFA (Music and Fine Art) depart-ments, they were able to receivenewfound information relating tocollege.“Many of these families live onthe west side of San Bernardino andthey are literally five minutes fromthe campus and they had never beenthere,” Delgado said. “When theycame to visit the campus, they wereblown away. It’s a win-win for us.That’s why we’re all happy aboutthis.”The different pods that were or-ganized were: a pod organized bythe San Bernardino GenerationNow group that included painting,drawing, photography, planting, andcalligraphy, a poetry and prose podorganized by CSUSB English andMFA students, and a video and filmpod organized by community or-

ganizer Alex Avila of 4e (Equity,Empowerment, Education, and Ex-cellence). Several of the students had the op-portunity to share their work duringthe Art Jam. 11-year-old GerardoMondragon wrote a short story ti-tled “Past is the Present”, which wasabout a dream that included super-heroes and dragons. He was helped

by San Bernardino Generation Nowmembers Christian Flores and JorgeHeredia, who are both students atCSUSB. “Our pedagogy of it all,” ex-plained Heredia, “is that we gavethe kids free range and experi-mented with a lot of areas. Yourchildren are all really great writers.”Isaac Escalera, 26, a fourth year

MFA and Poetry student at CSUSBwho helped lead the poetry andprose pod said he believes thebiggest lesson the students tookaway from the “Be part of the Art”program was the notion of encour-aging to take chances.“It’s taught us that the biggest les-son for these kids is to take risks andchances to explore different avenuesof art,” he said. “Many of these kidshave these preconceived notionsthat they can’t do this or that so theystop taking chances or don’t want toshare art. This is kind of that safeenvironment where they can take

those chances and encourage eachother.”Leilani Hernandez, whose daugh-ter Madison and James took part inthe program said the program helpsbring families together and is a greatexperience for everybody.“This program teaches them to ex-press themselves whether it’sthrough writing, through poetry orpainting,” she said. “I’m a workingmother now so I don’t get to seethem as much so being with them atthese times is really wonderful.”

Celebrating Cinco De Mayo!


Mexican militia defeats French army at Battle of Puebla

Introduction

The holiday of Cinco De Mayo,The 5th Of May, commemoratesthe victory of the Mexican militiaover the French army at the Battleof Puebla in 1862. It is primarily aregional holiday celebrated in theMexican state capital city ofPuebla and throughout the state ofPuebla, with some limited recog-nition in other parts of Mexico,and especially in U.S. cities with asignificant Mexican population. Itis not, as many people think, Mex-ico's Independence Day, which isactually September 16.

Setting The Stage

The battle at Puebla in 1862 hap-pened at a violent and chaotic timein Mexico's history. Mexico had fi-nally gained independence fromSpain in 1821 after a difficult andbloody struggle, and a number ofinternal political takeovers andwars, including the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) andthe Mexican Civil War of 1858,had ruined the national economy.During this period of struggleMexico had accumulated heavydebts to several nations, includingSpain, England and France, whowere demanding repayment. Sim-ilar debt to the U.S. was previouslysettled after the Mexican-Ameri-can War. France was eager to ex-pand its empire at that time, andused the debt issue to move for-ward with goals of establishing itsown leadership in Mexico. Realiz-ing France's intent of empire ex-pansion, Spain and Englandwithdrew their support. WhenMexico finally stopped makingany loan payments, France tookaction on its own to installNapoleon III's relative, ArchdukeMaximilian of Austria, as ruler ofMexico.

Mexico Confronts The Inva-sionFrance invaded at the gulf coastof Mexico along the state of Ver-acruz (see map) and began tomarch toward Mexico City, a dis-tance today of less than 600 miles.Although American PresidentAbraham Lincoln was sympatheticto Mexico's cause, and for whichhe is honored in Mexico, the U.S.

was involved in its own Civil Warat the time and was unable to pro-vide any direct assistance.Marching on toward MexicoCity, the French army encounteredstrong resistance near Puebla at theMexican forts of Loreto andGuadalupe. Led by Mexican Gen-eral Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin, asmaller, poorly armed militia esti-mated at 4,500 men were able tostop and defeat a well outfittedFrench army of 6,500 soldiers,which stopped the invasion of thecountry. The victory was a glori-ous moment for Mexican patriots,which at the time helped to de-velop a needed sense of nationalunity, and is the cause for the his-torical date's celebration. Unfortunately, the victory wasshort lived. Upon hearing the badnews, Napoleon III had found anexcuse to send more troops over-seas to try and invade Mexicoagain, even against the wishes ofthe French populace. 30,000 moretroops and a full year later, theFrench were eventually able to de-pose the Mexican army, take overMexico City and install Maximil-ian as the ruler of Mexico.Maximilian's rule of Mexico wasalso short lived, from 1864 to1867. With the American CivilWar now over, the U.S. began toprovide more political and militaryassistance to Mexico to expel theFrench, after which Maximilianwas executed by the Mexicans -his bullet riddled shirt is kept at themuseum at Chapultepec Castle inMexico City. So despite the even-tual French invasion of MexicoCity, Cinco de Mayo honors thebravery and victory of GeneralZaragoza's smaller, outnumberedmilitia at the Battle of Puebla in1862.

Today's CelebrationFor the most part, the holiday ofCinco de Mayo is more of a re-gional holiday in Mexico, cele-brated most vigorously in the stateof Puebla. There is some limitedrecognition of the holiday through-out the country with different lev-els of enthusiasm, but it's nothinglike that found in Puebla.Celebrating Cinco de Mayo hasbecome increasingly popular alongthe U.S.-Mexico border and inparts of the U.S. that have a high

population of people with a Mexi-can heritage. In these areas the hol-iday is a celebration of Mexicanculture, of food, music, beverageand customs unique to Mexico. Commercial interests in theUnited States and Mexico have

also had a hand in promoting theholiday, with products and servicesfocused on Mexican food, bever-ages and festivities, with musicplaying a more visible role as well.Several cities throughout the U.S.hold parades and concerts during

the week following up to May 5th,so that Cinco de Mayo has becomea bigger holiday north of the bor-der than it is to the south, andbeing adopted into the holiday cal-endar of more and more peopleevery year.

Colton High and Community Coalitionworking with students to raise underage

drinking awareness

By Jazmine Collins

The big day is almost here,prom of course; and withthat come the many dan-

gers that are associated with it- oneof which is underage drinking.

The Colton Community Coali-tion for CHANGE is collaboratingwith Colton High School for a sec-ond year in a row to curb underagedrinking.

So far, the coalition and highschool have persisted in creatingawareness to students and commu-nity members so they too can par-ticipate in spreading the messageto peers and the community byparticipating in the “Under 21?Think-O No Drink-O” campaign.

Colton High School students tak-ing Graphic Communicationsunder the instruction of ThomasWurz, ROP department head andInstructor, created printed materi-als for this year’s campaign, whichwere distributed throughoutColton neighborhoods in a push tosave lives and futures.

“I had a chance to visit ColtonHigh School last week and I sawthe bright yellow t-shirts that readUnder 21?Think-O No Drink-O.Teachers, administrators, and stu-dents wore the shirts proudly andreminded students that not onlyis underage drinking dangerousbut also illegal and could cost youfines up to $1,000. Let’s not forgetwe have a Social Host Ordinancein our city that makes it illegal toprovide a place for kids to drinkand you will get fined for allowingthem to drink in your propertyeven if you didn’t provide the al-cohol,” says coalition member,Paul Rasso.

He reminds parents that allowingchildren to drink during prom andgraduation season is not a solution.“If you think you can keep yourkids safe during prom and gradua-tion season by allowing them todrink in your property, you maywant to think again.” He states thataccording to the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) and Centers for DiseaseControl (CDC), an estimated5,000 people under the age of 21die each year in the United Statesalone as a result of underagedrinking; this includes about 1,900deaths from motor vehicle crashes,1,600 from homicides, 300 fromsuicides, as well as hundreds from

other injuries such as falls, burns,and drowning.

“We all know it’s a high risk timefor youth; we really don’t want tofind out whose next, we don’twant the police knocking on ourdoor in the middle of the night tolet us know that our kid is nevercoming back,” he continues. “Forme, it’s a beautiful day in Coltonwhen you see our communityworking together to create a safer

environment for our youth and I’mproud to wear my Think-O NoDrink-O shirt to show kids howmuch I care about them.”

For anyone interested in more in-formation about the coalitionplease call (909) 423-0312.

Velasquez’s three-run double caps Colton comeback

By Richard Dawson

Colton trailed all game andhad failed on several scor-ing opportunities through-

out the game, but Rose Velasquezchanged that with one swing.With two outs and the bases

loaded in the bottom of the sixth,Velasquez sent a 2-2 pitch fromKaiser pitcher Marissa Nares overthe heads of the outfield and to thefence in left-center that cleared thebases and give Colton an 8-7 overSunkist League rival Kaiser. “I was just trying to get my mind

right,” Velasquez said of herthoughts before the at-bat. “I wasstriking out a lot. So I just wanted

to focus and relax myself.”Kaiser (9-12, 4-5 League) made

it interesting in the top of the sev-enth after Linda Garcia led offwith a solo home run to make it aone-run game. Colton (8-10, 3-5)pitcher Gabby Rodriguez re-grouped though and retired thenext three batters to close it out. Rodriguez suffered a rough start

as Kaiser scored three runs in thefirst and two runs in the second togo up 5-0, but she rebounded toallow just two hits (home runs toDestiney Henderson and Garcia)over the final five innings. “She settled in very strong,” said

Colton Head Coach Joe Montes. “Iwas thinking about bringing in

Ramirez to close it out, but I de-cided to stick with Gabby and itworked out.” The Cats committed two errors in

both the second and third inningsleading to four unearned runs forthe Yellowjackets and make it 5-4. “That’s what happens when you

let teams linger around,” saidKaiser Head Coach John Stevens.“It’s going to come back and biteyou and it did today. Colton did agreat job of coming back and stay-ing in the game. The first couple ofinnings we jumped on them prettygood.”

Yucaipa’s Chapman shutouts REV

By Richard Dawson

Yucaipa’s Joseph Chap-man dominated during a5-0 win over Citrus Belt

League rival Redlands East Valleyon Wednesday, April 23. Chapman struck out six while

tossing a three-hit shutout, retiring10 in a row at one point, to earn hissixth win of the season.The win avenges a loss to REV

on April 3, where Chapman al-lowed four of the six runs he hasallowed all season over 42 1/3 in-nings. Yucaipa jumped out in front early

as Thomas Lerouge opened thegame with a single off REV starterBlake Tuthill, moved over to sec-ond after a bunt by Breyer Gayledriven home on a single by HunterReade to make it 1-0. The Thunderbirds nearly got a

second run that inning, but Headewas thrown out trying to scorefrom second on a single by Chap-man.It looked like the Wildcats might

answer in the bottom of the firstwith two on and one out, but astrikeout and pickoff at secondbase ended the threat.A close game got broke open in

the top of the fifth after CoryMoore led off with a single. REVcommitted throwing errors onback-to-back bunt attempts, allow-ing Moore to score.An intentional walk to Thomas

Lerouge was followed with a sacfly by Gayle to bring in anotherrun. A groundball error by Gayleand a wild pick-off attempt byTuthill led to two more runs andmake it 5-0. Tuthill finished the day having

allowed five runs for the Wildcats,all of them unearned, on five hitsand two walks. The win gave Yucaipa (15-5, 7-2

CBL) sole possession of first placein the CBL, but that was short-lived.Two days later, REV (11-7. 7-2)

won the decisive third game of theseason series 9-3 to earn thetiebreaker edge heading into thefinal weeks of the season.

Visual Art Exhibit at Inland CenterMall April 22 through 24, 2014.

The district chose to display theart at the mall for it’s high degreeof visibility by students and par-ents. “I have always felt that it isimportant to support creative artis-tic development in our schools. Itis such a positive force for good. Itgives the student an outlet to ex-press their individuality whetherthrough drawing, painting, sculp-ture etc. We have such talentedstudents in the San BernardinoCity Unified School District andwe at Inland Center Mall have al-

ways felt it was a privilege toshowcase this talent and let thecommunity see it and let the stu-dents know they are appreciated,”stated Inland Center Mall’s SeniorMarketing Manager, Terri Relf.

208 students from sixth totwelfth grade participated in theexhibit from seven differentschools in the district. Studentsdisplayed their best work duringthe exhibit, which was judged bya team of artists and educators.

A vast array of works were dis-played throughout the mall reflect-ing each artist’s personal style andmedium of choice. Ceramics andsculptures were elegantly dis-played on tables. Other works in-cluded mixed media, paintings,drawings and printmaking. “These

great works reflected the dedicatedefforts of the classroom instruc-tors, the students and the parentswho encouraged and supportedtheir students,” said SBCUSD rep-resentative, Steven Phillippi.

Students received certificates fortheir artwork, ranging from Best ofShow, first through third place,and honorable mentions. InlandCenter Mall merchants also pro-vided gift cards as awards to stu-dents.

According to Phillippi, theschool district hopes to continue togrow and develop events like thisin hopes of uniting San Bernardinocity schools and the community inarts appreciation and culturalawareness.

Redlands hospital hosts an “Evening with the Artists”

By Yazmin Alvarez

The hallways inside Red-lands Community Hospitalaren’t the typical sterile

beige-colored walls that make upmost medical facilities.“Ours are filled with art,” saidRedlands Community HospitalFoundation president ZacharyTucker. And the walls just got a little live-lier thanks to five area artists andtheir donation of artwork to thecenter.The Redlands Community Hospi-tal Foundation recently held its an-nual “Evening with the Artists,” afundraising art show benefiting thehospital foundation’s art program. The April 25 benefit, held at theRedlands Community HospitalStan and Ellen Weisser EducationPavilion, featured works from localartists, Aïda Schneider, AngelaKoenig, Martha Cowan, Seung Leeand Ray Fedorchak. Koenig, who is based in RanchoCucamonga, created a special col-lection--Fifty Shades of Green--consisting of a variety of mediumspecifically for the event.“I wanted to be organic and cre-

ate something soothing,” she saidof the dozens of pieces she broughtfor sale. The works were filled with vividblues and greens and she createdthem to “help take people away,”she said. Launched in 1978, previousfundraising events have broughtnew pieces of original work fromarea artists into the hospital’s col-lection. Now in it’s sixth year, the collec-tion features more than 750 worksof original art and historic photo-graphs in the Redlands CommunityArt collection and has brought inthousands in support of the founda-tion’s program. “That’s something particularlyspecial and unique about the (Red-lands) Community Hospital,” saidTucker about the art program. “Themission of the hospital is to createa healing environment. As part ofthe art program, the foundationfeels we can be a part of that mis-sion by leading and managing thisart program.” The foundation hoped to raise$25,000 during the event, whichwould be supported through a 20percent portion of sales from art-work, said Tucker.
