They may be just babies,but kittens as young as4 months and puppies

as young as 5 months are oldenough to get pregnant andhave their first litter just twomonths later. That’s why The Humane

Society of San BernardinoValley, with funding providedby PetSmart Charities, thelargest funder of animal welfareefforts in North America, isintroducing the “Precious, NotParents” campaign. Throughthe “Precious, Not Parents,”campaign, the HSSBV will pro-vide $20 spay and neuter surg-eries for puppies and kittensunder six months of age duringthe month of June.Some pet parents may worry

that their pet is too young forthis procedure, but spaying andneutering is safe and easy forkittens and puppies as young aseight to 10 weeks old, accord-ing to the American VeterinaryMedical Association. In fact,the HSSBV has performedmore than 20,000 pediatricspay/neuter surgeries since2010.“Many owners put off the pro-

cedure and wait until the puppyor kitten is six to eight monthsold,” says Henderson. “But bythen, a litter of puppies or kit-tens can be born.”This special $20 rate is even

less than the organization’s nor-mal low-cost priced and isavailable to all residents of theInland Empire. Pet parents whowish to take advantage of thisoffer must mention the“Precious, Not Parents” cam-paign when they call to sched-ule their appointment. The cam-paign is based on availability.The HSSBV will provide 50

“Precious, Not Parents,” steril-izations for $20 in June. Pleasevisit www.hsbv.org or call909-386-1400 for more infor-mation or to schedule anappointment.PetSmart Charities’ “Precious,

Not Parents” campaign pro-vides more than $593,000 tospay/neuter clinics to fundaffordable, high-quality spayand neuter surgeries for morethan 12,000 puppies and kittensacross the nation during themonth of June.

second year, it drew thousands ofart lovers to the area.Over the two-day event, festivities

included a book fair, Kid’s Zone,food trucks, a beer and wine gardenas well as live entertainment. The A.K. Smiley Public Library

also participated in the art show-case by displaying historic photo-graphs, paintings and other mixedmedia from the library’s archivesinside its Assembly Room. The festival was held in conjunc-

tion with the Redlands Art Associ-ation’s Art in the Park event, whichwas moved from Mother’s Day

weekend last year to be includedover the holiday weekend event,said Harry. Shirley Harry, who heads the

event along with former RedlandsCity Council member Jerry Bean,said the ultimate goal of the event isto eventually raise enough funds tobegin scholarships and grants forarts students. And although the Festival has

grown since last year’s inauguralevent, the hope is to keep it some-where close to the size of thisyear’s showcase, added Harry.“We want it to grow in the sense

of popularity,” she explained.“Artists like to keep festivals like

this smaller. It’s better exposure forall parities.”The festival is a project of the

Redlands Festival of Arts Commit-tee in cooperation with the Red-lands Art Association, the RedlandsCultural Arts Commission and ArtsConnection and the arts council ofSan Bernardino County.To learn more, visit redlandsfesti-

Firefighters Car Show in Red-lands, religiously, not because heloves cars, but because he says,“the heroes need to know they’reappreciated.”This year marked the 18th year

for the event, which helps raisefunds for the Redlands Firefighters’Benevolent Fund, which helps res-idents in need, charitable organiza-tions, fallen and injured firefightersand their families, local scholarshipopportunities, and the Burn Insti-tute of the Inland Empire, said MattLey, car show organizer.Last year’s event helped raise

more than $12,000 and with this

year’s expansion of a beer gardenand the nearly 300 cars on display,the hopes to surpass that numberstill sat in the back of Ley’s mind.A large portion of last year’s

funds were donated in support ofthe families of the 19 elite Arizonafirefighters killed battling a blaze.“The goal is to help where we

can,” he said.To learn more about the event for

Vote:

Only a few days until the elec-tion, many have already votedvia absentee ballot and maybegiven the large number of voterswho use this method the primaryhas already been determined. Ivoted and mailed my ballot ear-lier this week and I am spendingmy time calling family, friendsand neighbors urging them tovote. A low voter turn out is ex-pected and that is a shame, giventhe people in our history workedso hard to ensure the vote forwomen, the 18 year-olds, and theunder represented. It is our re-sponsibility as citizens to vote.Yes, there are cases of corruptpoliticians and certainly largecontributors with their own self-interest are constantly hammer-ing away at elected officials.However, it is our fault if we donot make our elected officials re-sponsible and accountable. Right now many of us are at-

tending graduation ceremoniesand celebrations and thousandsof young Americans are startinga new chapter in their lives, letsencourage them to register tovote and update their informa-tion. It is simple and they can ob-tain more information bycontacting - VOTE411.ORG

May &June:

Both May and June are times ofgreat celebrations as our studentstake another step in their educa-tion and their lives. Graduationsfrom high school, colleges, anduniversities make up for most ofthe celebrations along with com-pletion ceremonies for those in

the public safety, health fieldsand vocational careers. In addi-tion there were many recognitionand award ceremonies. Congrat-ulations to the graduates, thewinners of scholarships and tothose who are receiving certifi-cations and recognition in theirchosen areas of study. A deep feltthank you to the faculty, staffand administrators for their partin our students' success. I espe-cially want to commend the fam-ilies and friends who give ourstudents the moral and financialsupport for their educationaljourney. And to the communityorganizations that raise fundsyear-around to provide scholar-ships, thank you.

May and June is also a time toreflect on several historical oc-currences that changed lives.One is the 50th anniversary ofthe Civil Rights Act of 1964 andthe other is the 60th anniversaryof the Supreme Court’s unani-mous decision in Brown vs.Board of Education that deter-mined " separate educational fa-cilities are inherently unequal".This decision reversed theflawed decision in Plessy v. Fer-guson from 1896 and opened thedoor to desegregation of ourpublic schools. Unfortunatelythe public school system (k-12and higher education) is still awork in progress. We have muchwork to do to improve access toa sound education and trainingand to improve completion ratesfor all our students especially forAfrican-Americans, Latinos,Southeast Asians, and Pacific Is-landers.

May and June was also the timein the mid 1960s that many ofmy generation were working forthe election of Robert F.Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy wasour candidate for President andlocally we worked block byblock to register voters and getout the vote. Kennedy came toour area and people lined thestreets to see him. My husbandhad been offered a job with thecampaign and we were planningon leaving the area to join thecampaign in New York. We wereto attend the celebration withother campaign workers at theAmbassador Hotel in Los Ange-les but decided to stay in SanBernardino to celebrate mybirthday. Kennedy's assassina-tion changed our lives. Westayed out of political arena fora while concentrating on ourstudies and careers. Our focusthen turned to local issues, es-

tablishing our newspapers andbuilding community. It is stillour focus and there is still much,much work to do.

Why would candidate for Con-gress, Lesli Elaine McCollumGooch, assume that the voters inthe 31st District would be on boardwith surrendering this importantseat directly over to Washington,D.C., lobbyist control? Gooch is aregistered lobbyist from Washing-ton, D.C., who has never lived orvoted in our district. She claimsthat she has spent 15 years repre-senting the residents of SanBernardino County, but GaryMiller was the representative andshe was a staff office worker.

When Miller quit, Gooch musthave concluded that none of the309,000 registered voters in thedistrict are smart enough to selecta new representative from amongthemselves. Just because Miller

surrendered to the lobbyists inWashington, does that mean wehave to surrender also?

No.

When a congressman quits his of-fice, we are supposed to get a newstart with a new representative. In-filtration into our halls of Congressby revolving door lobbyists is amajor assault on our liberty.

We should be able and indeedmust, choose our next representa-tive from among ourselves withoutthis type of interference fromWashington, D.C.

Ken Hunter,Redlands

No need to surrender districtto lobbyists

For the second time, I’ve receiveda mailing from congressional can-didate Eloise Gomez Reyes thatcriticizes Redlands Mayor PeteAguilar for accepting his meagerpay of about $500 a month forserving on the Redlands CityCouncil. The hyped assertions di-minish her, and she should stopthat.

As a taxpayer, I want good peopleto serve in government, and I don’texpect them to do a difficult andtime-consuming job for free. Istrongly believe that elected officein our diverse community shouldnot be reserved only for the per-sonally wealthy among us. I wantour public servants working for thepeople, not some other interest.

Somehow, I don’t think Ms.Gomez Reyes, if elected, is goingto forgo a congressional salary andbenefits, nor do I think she will de-cide not to have her expenses forofficial government meetings andtravel reimbursed by her employer,the government.

Pete Aguilar has been a goodcouncil member and mayor and hewill be good in Congress — whereI equally expect our elected mem-bers to do a good job, and be paidby the people for doing that job —for us.

Steven Frasher,Redlands

Council payment hardlyextravagant

As we draw closer to MemorialDay, I can’t help but think of themany sacrifices our military menand women have made to preservefreedom in America. Recently,President Obama pinned theMedal of Honor on Army Sgt.Kyle J. White for his heroic serv-ice in Afghanistan. I applaud theoccasion.

But if the president really wantsto demonstrate his support of ourmilitary heroes, he can start bypinning a pink slip on Veterans Af-fairs Secretary Eric Shinseki andget someone in that organizationwho will serve the interests of ourwounded veterans.

Stone transforms Big Bear Lake into destination hotspot

By MJ Duncan

Over the course of the lastcouple of years a man hastransformed Big Bear

Lake into a destination hotspotwith more projects on the horizon.David Stone Jr., a sixth-generationresident of the mountain commu-nity, developer and entrepreneur, is

passionate about “creating a betterBig Bear” to attract people fromoutside communities and encour-age them to stay for longer thanthe day. Stone opened Stone SummitWinery & Vineyards at his WolfCreek Resort in Big Bear Lake lastMay. The winery claims to be thehighest altitude commercial vine-yard in the northern hemisphere at

6,750 feet above sea level, sur-passing the Terror Creek Winery inColorado, which sits at 6,417 feet.Today the winery produces fivevarietals ranging from Riesling toCabernet Sauvignon. In additionto fine wine the winery offers liveentertainment. For more informa-tion on the winery and resort, visitwww.wolfcreek-resort.comIn 2012 Stone procured the Vil-lage Theater in the city’s Villageshopping district and transformedit into a live concert venue calledThe Cave, featuring world classentertainment which opened lastMay. Following a brief shutdownfor R&R, The Cave featured Jef-ferson Starship at its first concertof the summer last Saturday dur-ing the city’s Starlight Festival.Over the next few months the 400-seat, state-of-the-art venue willfeature John Denver tribute JimCurry, Berlin, Dave Stamey,Martha Davis & The Motels, andBill Medley, just to name a few.For more information on upcom-ing shows visit www.thecavebig-bear.com."There's not a bad seat in thehouse. Anywhere you go you havea great seat," said Stone, who aimsto transform Big Bear Lake intothe next Aspen or Vail, Colo.Stone’s latest venture is the BigBear Lake Brewing Co., the city’sexclusive microbrewery, whichopened its doors April 8. Accord-ing to Stone, who also owns fourlodges, the opportunity cameabout a year ago to purchase the

fermentation tanks and equipmentfrom a Rancho Cucamonga brew-ery that closed its doors. Stone’snew brewing company has a dozenbrew tanks, two full bars, and em-ploys over 50 people.Stone’s microbrewery featuressignature ales that include Indianpale ale, honey blonde ale,Hefeweizen-style beer and sea-sonal ales, served up by renownedBrewmaster Ron VandenBroeke.The brewery will also featurewines, including Stone Summitwines. It will be open daily forlunch and dinner featuring a gour-met pub-style menu, and forbreakfast on weekends. Compli-mentary shuttle service will beprovided to patrons on weekends. Big Bear Lake Brewing Com-pany is located at 40827 StoneRoad in Big Bear Lake Village.For more information, call (909)878-0500.There are other projects Stonehas his eye on, but will not yet dis-close the nature of those projectsjust yet. He remains committed torebuilding Big Bear Lake and pro-viding residents, second-homeowners and visitors a spectacularexperience. “This is a true four-season resort; there are a lot of ac-tivities,” Stone said about the cityhe is proud to call home. “Forthose who live in the jungle ofL.A., it only takes an hour to comeexperience a whole different envi-ronment with very strong, friendlycommunity ties.”

Leaders in training: ICUC continues to encourage youth to take on leadership roles

By Anthony Victoria

The Inland CongregationsUnited for Change (ICUC)have invested in the lives

of youth in the Inland Empire forseveral years. From encouraging high schoolstudents to voice their concernsabout graduation rates and univer-sity preparation at local school dis-trict board meetings to organizingDeferred Action for Childhood Ar-rivals (DACA), Affordable CareAct, and Local Control Fundabil-ity Formula workshops. As wellas, encouraging parents of lowerclass communities to take an inter-est in their children’s education,the faith-based organization aimsto revitalize dying neighborhoods.Their current staff and formeryouth organizers continue to takeon that challenge. Cal State SanBernardino Graphic Design stu-dent and San Bernardino Genera-tion Now member Michael

Segura, 22, was recently appointedto the San Bernardino City FineArts Commission. Sergio Luna,30, of Highland has been trainingparents around the San BernardinoUnified School District about theA-G requirements that are neededfor their children to attend the Uni-versity of California or CaliforniaState University. ICUC Executive Director TomDolan—mentor to both men—saidhe is excited to see the work theyare doing in San Bernardino.“It’s good to see everyone have apassion,” said ICUC Executive Di-rector Tom Dolan. “It helps themto sustain and exercise their lead-ership.”Luna and Dolan met about adecade before they began their or-ganizing work in ICUC. The for-mer was caught with a weapon atPacific High School and was ex-pelled. Like many of the at-riskyouth in San Bernardino at that

time, he was sent over to Dolanwho was a youth organizer basedout of the Central City Lutheranmission.“When he came over to the mis-sion, he had only been living herefor a short time,” said Dolan. “Igot to know him, his sister, hismother. We brought him in hereand he began to learn how to takecomputers apart and put them to-gether. He comes from the rightplace and has his heart in the rightplace. He’s a great guy, but there’smore guys and girls like him.That’s what makes ICUC sogreat.”Dolan, who has worked in com-munity organizing efforts in theUnited States and Latin Americafor over 30 years, and currentlyteaches courses on community or-ganizing at Pitzer College’s On-tario program, said the biggestassumption community leaders inthe Inland Empire are making is

attributing violence to youth. Heattributes what he calls structuralviolence,to the lack of qualityhousing, daycare, preschool,health care, that expose children torisky environments.“I dislike the term ‘Youth Vio-lence’. I like to switch it aroundand say its ‘Violence againstYouth’,” said Dolan. “The firstterm makes it sound like it’s youthcommitting the violence and evenif it is youth in the gangs or hurtingsomeone, studies done by expertsdemonstrates that youth pull thetrigger because there’s been somany acts of violence committedagainst them when they were chil-

dren that they had no option thanto do that.”Dolan went on to further expressthat the problem isn’t the dishon-esty of youth, which was attributedto the growing issue of homicidesin San Bernardino at a recent com-mission meeting, but a systematicproblem.“The problem isn’t dishonesty,”he said. “That’s putting the prob-lem into the character of youngpeople. It’s a system that is rob-bing people of opportunities ofwhat they could become in life. Sothey end up exercising risky be-haviors. We structure that.”

By Anthony Victoria

The Warrior Hip Hop West-Coast Tour made its finalstop at the Chicano In-

digenous Community for Cultur-ally Conscious Advocacy andAction (Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A.) on Sat-urday May 24 holding the concertto inform the general public aboutstruggles in the Indigenous com-munity.Underground Hip Hop artist2Mex of Los Angeles based groupThe Visionaries headlined theshow. Prominent artists Zero, lyricistand MC of Hip Hop group El Vuhand Sister Centzi of the LA-basedGuerrilla Queenz preceded themain act. Public speakers and a DJwere also utilized for the show. At-tendees were charged $7 at thedoor and $5 pre-show for tickets.The show’s proceeds were appro-

priated for the tour’s artists whoare involved in community organ-izing in their respective neighbor-hoods and for I-DRUM’s efforts tosupport the Lakota tribe as they at-tempt to fight the controversialKeystone XL pipeline. “We heard the Lakota’s peoplecall for support, so we decided totake action locally, here in the I.E.,to do what we could. That’s whywe founded I-DRUM,” said Gar-denia Rivera, a Rancho Cuca-monga-based activist and ChaffeyCollege student. The organization has alreadymade significant strides sincebeing established last month. Theyheld a tool drive to gather toolsand camping supplies to be sent tothe American Indian Movement onSioux reservations in North andSouth Dakota.“When hip-hop was born, it wasoriginally a voice of resistance to

racism, to police brutality, to op-pressive social conditions,” saidMary Valdemar, co-founder ofboth Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A. and I-DRUM. “ It has changed overtime, but we are trying to get backto the roots and share somethingpositive that will raise people's’

consciousness.”Miguel Angel Cruz, 20, of Ran-cho Cucamonga saidCh.I.C.C.C.A.A. has been like a“home” and said it is a place wherehe can be more in tune with his In-digenous roots.“I need a place where I can em-

brace both my mestizo and indige-nous sides,” he said. “I knowmany people who are separatedfrom their indigenous or tribalroots. It's been centuries of colo-nization that made this happen.Ch.I.C.C.C.A.A. is a place whereyou can begin that journey.”

EElection Special 2014

Candidate for the 40th Assembly District Art Bustamonte:“We have something that other areas don’t have;

space for room and growth.”

After 17 years on the Chaf-fey Joint Union HighSchool Board of

Trustees, the second largest highschool district in California, ArtBustamonte is hoping to take hisvast amount of experience andknowledge to the state level byrunning for the 40th AssemblyDistrict. A Southern California native anda father of two adult daughters,Bustamonte grew up in Los Ange-les and attended public schoolsthrough high school. At the age of17 he joined the Marines andserved in Vietnam. After servinghis country he went on to graduatefrom Cerritos College and a Bach-elors degree from Cal State Fuller-ton and went on to enjoy a thrivingcareer as a police officer in Hunt-ington Park, an area known as oneof the toughest in Southern Cali-fornia.After being wounded and nearlylosing his life in the line of duty,Bustamonte retired from the de-

partment as a gang investigatorand was awarded the Medal ofValor, the highest honor in law en-forcement. He currently serves asa supervising criminal investigatorfor San Bernardino County.In 1995 he ran for the ChaffeyJoint Union High School Board ofTrustees, winning by a large mar-gin, and has won re-election fourconsecutive times, often as theelection's highest vote-getter. Hehas also been elected board presi-dent five times by fellow boardmembers. Under Art Bustamonte's leader-ship, Chaffey Joint Union HighSchool District has consistentlybeen recognized for excellence ineducational achievements, includ-ing an 86% high school graduationrate, highest test scores (highschool) in the county and the sec-ond highest test scores (highschool) in the state. As an assemblyman, Bustamontehopes to bring the same success tothe state in the areas he is most

committed to: attracting the rightbusinesses, that will bring the rightjobs to the Inland Empire, and ad-dressing the various factors thatmake a region attractive to busi-nesses, such as good schools andsafe neighborhoods.Already he has plans as to howhe would like to begin to promotemore business opportunities in theregion, all of which are intercon-nected.He believes it’s not enough tosimply talk about better jobs ormore business without addressingsome of the factors that contributeto both. “Companies will not come herewithout good schools, safe neigh-borhoods and political stability,”Bustamonte said. “We need to pro-vide more in-service training forteachers, better facilities, moretechnology and a safe learning en-vironment for students.”Bustamonte also wants to capital-ize on what he believes is one ofthe Inland Empire’s greatest as-

sets.“We have something that otherareas like Los Angeles and OrangeCounty don’t have,” he said. “Wehave space for room and growth.”If elected, Art Bustamonte wantsto make the most of this asset tomake the 40th Assembly District atruly desirable place to live and dobusiness.And along the lines of both edu-cation and jobs, Bustamonte, astrong believer in technologicaland vocational training programs,wants to ensure that the vocationaltraining that students are receivingis in line with the what the jobmarket demands so that the regionis equipped with a well-trainedworkforce that meet the needs forthe kinds of jobs that are availableand will come in the future.He would also like to create taxincentives to encourage businessesto come to the region and said hewould like to submit a bill thatwould do just that.And speaking of bills, in the

same spirit of increasing high pay-ing job opportunities and increas-ing the quality of education,Bustamonte would also like to in-troduce a bill that will help singleparents pay for day care servicesso they too can further their edu-cation and work better jobs to sup-port their families.If elected, Art Bustamonte wouldlike to make his vision a realitythrough hard work and implemen-tation of one of the keys to successhe discovered as a school boardmember; building consensusacross party lines to work togetherfor a common purpose.“I want to develop consensuswith everyone to bring the InlandEmpire out of economic chaos,”he said.For more information on ArtBustamonte and for a list of en-dorsements, visit his website athttp://www.voteartbustamonte.com

Hubbs Award nominee Margella Eladconsidered one of best in recent years

By Harvey M. Kahn

In naming Margella Elad hisschool's 2014 Girls KenHubbs Award winner,

Aquinas High athletic directorChris Ybarra called the versatilestudent, "Probably the most over-all athletic female he's seen in myten years at Aquinas. To representthe Ken Hubbs Award, she is thewhole package." For three years,Elad was all-league in volleyball,soccer, basketball and a four-yearCIF-qualifier in the 100 and 200Meters. She did that while carry-ing a 4.5 GPA, good for #4 in hersenior class. "That's what makesher even more impressive," saysYbarra.In a phone conversation, Eladcommented that her athletic careeris over. She is well on her way to-ward becoming an OBYN physi-cian and will take pre-med courseson scholarship next year at USC.

"I'll be delivering babies," saidElad. "I've always played sportsand I will miss it." Along withbeing the National Honor SocietyPresident, she was presented anaward of excellence from the Na-tional Academy of Future Physi-cians and Education Scientists.During her four years at Aquinas,Elad served as an ambassador, vol-unteer and youth leader at localchurch's, including at our Lady ofthe Assumption. She served twoyears on an African Descent Min-istry. She was twice elected ASBvice-president and in 2013 theAquinas High School Girls StateRepresentative to a Californiaforum.Elad acknowledged not knowing

about the Ken Hubbs Award priorto her nomination. "I knew it wasgoing to be something special be-cause it was a banquet setting. Inow know what Ken Hubbs did inhis life. How he spent time withpeople and his many accomplish-

ments. For me to be associatedwith his name made me feel spe-cial. It will make me try to do thegood things in life like he did."

Kumler to transitionfrom Hubbs honoree to

marine science By Harvey M. Kahn

William Kumler said healready knew "how in-credibly special the

Ken Hubbs nomination is" sincehis brother, Benjamin was thenominee from Aquinas High lastyear. Besides graduating at No. 2among the Aquinas senior class of87 students, William Kumler wasfour-year member of the Falconscross country team, where he wasnamed all-league twice. He was afour-year perfomer on the tennisteam where he was two year's all-league. He was team captain fortwo years at both sports.

"He is a young man who takesa heavy class load and will begraduating early, said Aquinas ADChris Ybarra. "He's a quality indi-vidual who is well mannered."Kumler said in a phone interviewthat he will be attending UCBerkeley next year to study biol-ogy in preparation to become a

marine scientist. "I'd like to takepost graduate classes at Scripps In-stitute. Eventually, I'd like to re-search the microscopic organismsthat live in the ocean and are animportant part of the food chain.I'd like to raise awareness aboutthis tiny life form," said Kumler.

Kumler said he learned a lotabout Ken Hubbs during hisbrother's presentation processfrom last year. "To be picked as aHubbs honoree is amazing. To becompared to him in any way is anincredible honor. The 50th an-niversary watch the Foundationpresented us is something I will al-ways wear with pride." He saidthat he will not be playing anyNCAA sports at Cal. Possibly, hewill run or play tennis at the clublevel. He recently ran his first halfmarathon in Highland and did notrule out running full marathons inthe future. "One way or another,I'll stay active in sports.

Citrus Valley edges Aquinas in quarterfinals Carter falls to Alemany in first round

By Richard Dawson

Taylor Troost is only a jun-ior at Redlands Citrus Val-ley, but pitching her team

to victory in big games is nothingnew.

Troost was dominant as usual, al-lowing just two hits and strikingout 10, but Citrus Valley alsoneeded clutch hitting to edge pastvisiting San Bernardino Aquinas3-1 in a CIF-SS Division 5 quar-terfinals game on Saturday, May24. In a match up featuring the divi-sion’s last two champions, Troostfound herself in a pitching duelwith Aquinas ace Allie Hotetz, buta pre-game injury almost derailedthat from happening. “Right before the game, shesnagged her nail on her pitchinghand,” said Citrus Valley headcoach April Finazzo. “She is atough kid and she played throughit.”Aquinas (23-4) got out to a quickstart, taking a 1-0 lead in the sec-ond on a sac-fly by Hotetz. Itlooked poised to score in thefourth after Kylie Dazalla doubledto lead off the inning, but she wasgunned down trying to stretch itinto a triple. The mistake provedcostly as teammate Maritsa Car-dona followed with a double thatwould have likely resulted in a

run. Troost ended the threat bystriking out the last two hitters andwent on to retire 10 of the last 11batters she faced in the game. A sac-fly by Maxine Ortega gotCitrus Valley (19-8) on the boardin the fourth. With the game tied at 1-1 in thesixth, Kailey Richard led off witha double to center and JackieChairez followed with a triple toleft-center that scored pinch run-ner Olivia Olvera to give theBlackhawks their first lead of thegame. Zoe Richard hit a sac-fly toleft that scored Chairez for an in-surance run.Troost finished the Falcons inorder in the seventh, striking outthe last two hitters. Hotetz finishedthe game having allowed sevenhits and striking out six.Citrus Valley will host a Division5 semifinal game for the first timewhen it plays against second-seeded Orange League championSavanna on May 27.“That’s big for us,” said Finazzo.“They like playing in front of ourhome crowd.”

Carter High School’s Lujan comes up with big hit, Lionsdefeat Indio in CIF-SS playoff opening game

By Anthony Victoria

Grounding ut in his firsttwo at bats, Carter juniorthird baseman Chris

Lujan was looking for redemption.With the bases loaded and twoouts in the bottom of the fourth in-ning in his team’s CIF Division 3first round encounter with Indio onMay 23, Lujan took advantage ofa golden opportunity, hitting atriple to left-center to break a 1-1tie. “I stepped into the box, clearedmy head, I looked over to dugoutand saw my teammates and broth-ers cheering for me,” said Lujanabout his big at-bat. “I got thepitch I wanted and did what Icould with it.”The Lions (21-5) never lookedback after that point. UCR-boundsenior Jesse Gonzalez pitched acomplete game, striking out eightand was 1 for 3 at the plate with anRBI double as they defeated theRajahs (17-9) 6-2 to seal a spot inthe second round.The game began as a pitcher’sduel between Gonzalez andIndio’s Chris Burciaga, with thelatter holding the Lions scorelessfor two innings by throwing

mostly offspeed pitches. Carter head coach Samuel Lopezpraised his team’s ability in adjust-ing to Burciaga’s pitching ap-proach.“I felt very confident we weregoing to be able to make adjust-ments pretty quickly,” he said.“They’re a tough team. We heardthey were scrappy and like to playsmall ball and that’s exactly whatthey showed up with.”Lopez was also praiseful of teamcaptain Gonzalez, who has beeninstrumental in Carter’s San An-dreas League winning season thisyear.“It’s been like it has been allyear,” he said. “Every time he getson the mound, he gives us achance to win and everytime he isup to bat, he’s a threat. Definitelyanother big performance fromJesse.”The deadlock between the teamswas broken in the third when anerror by the Indio shortstop al-lowed Adam Lovell to score. TheRajahs would respond in the top of

the fourth. Jonathan Diaz’s doublebrought in Steven Cuevas to tie thescore at one. The stage was then set for Lujan.Back to back singles hit by IsaiahDavis and Eduardo Martinez, fol-lowed by a bunt turned into an in-field single by Daniel Folk loadedthe bases for Lujan. The junior didnot hesitate, turning on the firstpitch he saw from Burciaga anddriving it to left-center.“During my first at bat, I noticedhe was throwing me a lot of off-speed,” said Lujan. “I had to tipmy hat to him. I made sure to tellthe guys to adjust and we went

from there.”Despite the loss, Indio headcoach said he was proud of histeam’s season.“These guys had a great season,”he said. “I think people underesti-mated us because we lost a lot ofplayers and believed we weren’tgoing to be as competitive thisyear. This group gelled as a teamand played team baseball. It was agood game. We made some defen-sive mistakes which gave them thegame and allowed them to open itup. In the end, we’re proud of theway they competed.”

When it comes playofftime any team canwin, it is all about get-

ting hot at the right time. Rialto Carter had been hot allseason, going undefeated inleague, earning a No. 1 seed and ahome playoff game in the process. Matched up against Alemany, abad game came at the wrong timeas the Carter softball team wasrouted at home 18-6 during theCIF-SS Division 3 first roundgame on Tuesday, May 20. Alemany (17-9) got on the boardwith a 1-0 lead in the first inningoff of Carter starter Karly Turner. The Lions answered in the bot-tom half of the inning. DayimianJohnson and Alyssa Moore-Ramirez led off with back-to-backdoubles to make tie the game. Pa-mala Baber followed with a singleto go up 2-1 and San AndresLeague MVP Jerise Toilolo sent ashot over the left field wall for atwo-run home run to push the leadto 4-1, but it didn’t last long.Turner gave up a run in the sec-

ond and in the third it snowballedin the wrong direction for Carter.The Warriors opened up withthree consecutive hits, two ofwhich were infield singles, and agrand slam by Danielle Pitpit toretake the lead 6-4. Three moresingles and an error added a runand loaded the bases, leading to athree-run triple by Danielle Ortegathat blew the game open. TheLions allowed one more run be-fore escaping the inning and foundthemselves down 11-4. Carter (20-5) added two moreruns in the bottom of the thirdthanks to a walk, single, hit-by-

pitch and an Alemany error.The Warriors didn’t let up, scor-ing one in the fourth and two in thesixth before going up double digitswith a four-run seventh. “Today they were the betterteam,” said Carter head coachJohn Salas. “If we played themyesterday or tomorrow, maybe itwould be a different story, buttoday, as a team, it wasn’t ourday.”“It’s disappointing, but we ac-complished a lot this season,” saidSalas. “We went undefeated inleague for the first time in schoolhistory, we had girls make firstteam, Jerise was MVP, it was justa bad day.”

The art piece--a cubed-shapesculpture comprised of five panelsdepicting the Redlands 125th An-niversary logo, the Redlands Bowl,the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, theUniversity of Redlands and theSmiley Library--was spearheadedby Melanie Papp, a local artist andfounder of Art Renew, a campaignto assist underfunded art educationprograms and non-profits.As part of the project, residents ofall ages gathered at the Mission

By Cynthia Mendoza

“As iron sharpens iron, soone person sharpens an-other,” and so was the theme

and key message of the Young Vi-sionaries Youth Leadership Acad-emy (Young Visionaries) IronSharpens Iron Gala on Tuesday,May 20 at Cal State SanBernardino.The quote above is found inProverbs 27:17 and conveys theconcept that the same way in thephysical realm iron sharpens iron,so do people build and strengtheneach other up, such as throughmentorship, which is one of thekey components of the variousprograms and services that YV of-fers youth.The gala, which has become anannual event for Young Visionar-ies, seeks to not only raise fundsfor the various programs educa-tional and empowerment programsthe organization offers youth butalso to inspire them to be all theycan be.This year’s event drew over 200people to the Santos Manuel Stu-dent Center for an evening of in-spiration, interaction andcelebration of the good and aware-ness raising on the issues facingyouth.The keynote speaker at thisyear’s gala was San BernardinoCounty Third District SupervisorJames Ramos, who, among otherthings, spoke on the importance ofgiving back to one’s communityand on leadership.The event also included an inspi-rational talk by Co-MC actor NoelGugliemi (known professionallyas Noel G.), who has appeared innumerous films, including the Fastand the Furious, The Dark KnightRises (Batman), Bruce Almightyand on television shows such asCSI: Miami.In his talk, Gugliemi shared hisown personal life story living a lifewithout parents present and beinga homeless youth.Gugliemi shared his personal ex-perience as a way of inspiringyouth to pursue their dreams, be-come successful and not give in tonegative circumstances.Gugliemi’s Co-MC was DianaWehbe of 99.1 KGGI, another

young person who has overcomeincredible adversity to live a life ofvictory and purpose. No more thanthree years ago Wehbe, who justturned 28 this week, was very sickand overweight and on the brink ofcancer and diabetes. She chose totake charge of her life through thetheme she now shares with otheryouth, “prayer, patience and pur-pose”.Award recipients who were rec-ognized for their outstanding con-

tributions to community and youthincluded Rialto Mayor DeborahRobertson, who received the Dr.Margaret Hill Lifetime Achieve-ment Award; the Hardy Brown Sr.and family who received the Re-siliency and Strength Award andformer Chicago Bulls basketballplayer Corey Benjamin who re-ceived the Excellence Award.“It reinforces that mentoring isvery important,” said TerranceStone, founder/CEO of Young Vi-

sionaries, about what the eveningmeant to youth and communityalike. “As iron sharpens iron,‘each one can teach one.’”The evening raised $20,000,
