By G. W. Abersold Ph.D

Poets are notably describedas dreamers. We historiansoften record what they

have dreamed about with theirmetaphorical words.

There seems to be no limit totheir imaginations. They are pre-dictive, but just for the physicaland materialistic.

Their dreams are descriptive anddefining. Lovers use their words to

describe their feelings. When per-sonal words seem inadequate, apoet’s literary genius can be ade-quate.

One insightful writer has giventhe poet the voice of God. He oftenspeaks the words of the Divine,describing who we are. How weare to live. The life beyond thisone; what it is like. Above all, thepoet speaks to himself and to oth-ers, voicing the aspirations and de-sires of all mankind.

The Greeks used mythology as apoetical expression. For examplethe account of Narcissus. Narcis-sistic means “love of oneself.” Itis based on the Greek mythologyof a youth named Narcissus, whogazed into a pool of water, saw hisimage-not knowing it was himself-and fell in love with himself.

Upon his death he was turnedinto the narcissus flower. Todayself-love is considered a personal-ity disorder. The story is consid-ered poetry by the Greeks. Moreabout their poets later.

Robert Burns (1759-1796) isconsidered the greatest of Scottishpoets. He is especially famous forcomposing “Auld Lang Syne,”that is usually sung on New Year’s

Eve. Another great poem is “To ALouse.”

He was inspired to write it onseeing a bug on a lady’s hat whilein church. He takes eight verses todescribe the antics of the louse.However, it is the first two lines ofthe eighth verse the stimulates themind of most readers.

“O, wad sum Power the giftiegie us to see oursels as others seeus!”

The English translation is clearer.“O, would some power the gift

to give us to see ourselves as oth-ers see us.”

Self-knowledge and insight ishard to come by. Socrates chal-lenged all mankind to “know thyself.” Shakespeare said, “To thineown self be true.”

Burns’ words imply that othersknow us better than we know our-selves. The “louse” is a metaphorfor imperfections, mistakes, nega-tive impulses and even sins.

We shun self-revelation andhuman impulses, but others(spouses, parents, siblings andclose friends) can tell us the truth.

All of the Psalms (150) in the OldTestament should be consideredpoems. The use of metaphors, al-

legories to a Deity, personal con-fessions, and affirmations of de-pendence upon a power beyondoneself. The 23rd poem is repre-sentative of the others. Verse 4 isthe heart of the poem, “Yea,though I walk through the valleyof the shadow of death; I will fearno evil, for Thou art with me.”

To understand this verse, wemust consider the word throughand Thou. During my first visit toIsrael (1st of 8) I was at the St.George Anglican Cathedral. Oneof the young priests asked mewhat I would like to see. I said,“Masada” He was rather anxiousbecause war was about to breakout. However he agreed to take methere.

We took the back road throughwhat he called, “the valley of theshadow of death.” Nothing grewthere. No shade at all. It makes theMohave desert look like an oasis.The poet used it as a metaphor fordeath and life’s problems. It pro-vides comfort for all who read it.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning pre-sented these memorable words;“Earth’s crammed with heavenand every common bush aflamewith God. But only those who see

take off their shoes.”Obviously she was thinking of

Moses and the burning bush. (Ex-odus 3:2) We get so busy we closeour eyes to beauty, friendship andGod’s blessing. A real tragedy. Theremainder of Browning’s line goeslike this “the rest sit around pluck-ing black berries.” What a tragedy.

The most beautiful and meaning-ful poem in the Bible-in my opin-ion – is I Corinthians chapterthirteen. It is often called the lovechapter. It is unlike anything elsethe Apostle Paul wrote.

I have a copy of Dr. J GordonHynes dissertation (Ph.D.) that hewrote in 1936. In it he identifiedover 200 verses in Paul’s Epistlesthat were direct quotations or par-aphrases of the writing of Plato,Aristotle or the four great Greekpoets; Aratus, Cleanthes, Menandr,Epimenides. Almost all the verseswere plagiarized by Paul. Thepractice was often used in ancienttimes.

The theme of the poem high-lights the importance of love. Noexperience in life has priority overit. “Now abides faith, hope andlove, but the greatest of these islove.” So ends the poem.

Amen. Selah. So be it.

By MJ Duncan

While Walter Clark wasa graduate student atUC Riverside re-

searching his dissertation, he cameacross an enigma that he wouldnot solve for nearly 20 years: Whathappened to an unpublished operawritten by Spain’s greatest com-posers, Enrique Granados, at theturn of the 20th century?

Now a professor of music and di-rector of The Center for Iberianand Latin American Music at UCRiverside, Clark, in 2009, uncov-

ered the story of the three-volume“Maria del Carmen” which hadsurvived a torpedo attack, eco-nomic collapse in Spain and awarehouse fire in New York.

“I have been a lover of Granados’music since I was a teenager andhave played some of it,” Clarksaid. “‘Maria del Carmen’ is beau-tiful music, inspired by the folkmusic of the Spanish countryside.”Although Granados is best-knownas a composer and pianist, Clarksaid his work is easily arranged forperformance by guitar, which theUCR scholar plays.

Born in 1867, Granados com-posed “Maria del Carmen” in1898, the year Spain and the USwent to war. It premiered inMadrid to such acclaim that QueenMaria Cristina awarded Granadosthe Charles III Cross for his work.The opera — a love triangle set ina Spanish village in the region ofMurcia — was later revised forsubsequent productions, but wasnever performed in its original ver-sion again.

In 2006 Clark began his researchfor a biography on Granados anddiscovered family letters and otherdocuments that would help piece

together the story. In January 1916 Granados and

his wife, Amparo, left their sixchildren in Barcelona to travel toNew York in hopes to interest theMet in performing “Maria del Car-men.” Granados brought his onlycopy of the opera with him. TheMet declined his offer.

When President Woodrow Wil-son requested a performance byGranados at the White House, heand Amparo delayed their sched-uled return to Barcelona on a shipsailing directly to Spain. As a re-sult, they boarded a ship thatwould take them to England, thenFrance.

Granados and his wife drownedin the English Channel when aGerman submarine fired a torpedo,blowing off the bow of the boat.Other passengers, including theopera, survived the attack. Thecouple’s belongings were returnedto their home.

One of Granados’ sons, in 1938,sold the original opera to a NewYork musician and publisher for$300 to raise funds for the Repub-lican cause in the Spanish CivilWar. Other members of Granados’family wanted the opera returned,

which was the subject of litigationfor years until 1970 when theopera was declared destroyed in awarehouse fire in New York.

“I wondered if it was really de-stroyed,” Clark said. “No one haddone a proper inventory after thefire. When I was researching mybook I contacted the grandson ofthe man who had purchased‘Maria,’ and he kept looking.”

Finally, in fall 2009, Clark re-ceived word that all three volumeshad been found. With funding pro-vided by Special Collections &University Archives of the UCRLibraries, American pianist Dou-glas Riva and himself, Clark even-tually traveled to New York toacquire the composition.

Special Collections staff oversawrestoration of the opera, which hadsustained smoke and water dam-age, and scanned the repairedpages, making publication of theopera in Spain possible.

“No one has heard this per-formed since 1899,” Clark said. “Itis being published now by Tritó,the same company that will recordit. It will be performed in variousplaces in Spain next year, and Iwill be there. This is a 20-year de-tective story with a happy ending.”

Believer or not, it’s Lent.Millions are putting theirfaith into action this Lent

season after receiving ashesburned from palms on AshWednesday.

But as Times writer, ChristopherJ. Hale explained March 5, Lentisn’t just for the faithful.

“Today Christians around theworld will mark the beginning ofLent with the ancient tradition ofreceiving ashes on their fore-heads. This season and the cus-toms associated with it are as oldas the faith itself. It marks a sa-cred time of conversion for theChristian faithful as they com-memorate the life, death and res-urrection of Jesus.

But the season of Lent is not justfor Christians. It offers everyonea time for reflection and an op-portunity for change and growth.”

Realistically, the season can beseen as a time for focus and notnecessarily always about givingsomething up.

It could be serve as a time ofgiving of oneself as well--rechecking your values and actingon them.

An opportunity to redirect your-self toward the path you wanted totake but never really got a chanceto hit the road, or maybe you splitat the fork.

Either way, it’s a time to checkyourself--faithful or not.

Everyone needs a moment tostep back and Lent just may be theopportunity to do it.

For myself, it’s going to be atime for both.

I’m taking a step back and look-ing at where I’m at--career, familyand personally.

What’s not right is going tochange.

These 40 days are going to bemy “road to recovery” so tospeak.

I’ll be implement the “givingup” portion part as well. And thistime I won’t say, “I’m giving upgiving things up for Lent,” either.

So to put it out there, I’m givingup junk food.

Seems petty, right.No. It’s my vice. Junk food gets me

through the day; cookies, chips,brownies, burgers, fries, a glori-ous heaping mound of nachos,cookies, chips, cookies, chips…did I mention cookies and chips?

See the reason I need to omitjunk.

I’m also giving up overthinking.It ruins happiness.

There are a few more things I’mchoosing to refocus on for Lent,but those are neither here northere, mainly because I’m choos-ing not to completely expose my-self.

So, in 40 days, I’ll check backand give a summary of my find-ings.

In the case of Huffington Postwriter, David Lose:

“Just maybe, I need Lent. Justmaybe I need a time to focus, toget my mind off of my career, mysocial life, my next writing proj-ect -- and a hundred other thingsto which I look for meaning -- andcenter myself in Meaning itself.”

I also decided to do a little sur-veying on this and ask someonetheir thoughts on Lent and what itmeant to them.

Here were the results:“For many, giving up things in

the name of religion can be tough.But it is helpful should you wantto keep on track when it come tothose pesky New Year's Resolu-tions.

For example, losing weight.Cutting soda from your diet canincrease your weight loss becauseyou're not consuming what thosedietitians call "empty calories."

Substitute soda for maybe morewater or sparkling water, “fancywater” as I like to call it.

You'll thank yourself at the endof 40 days - and so will yourwaistline.”

The death penalty is more than apenalty, it is a statement by our so-ciety that what occurred is so un-acceptable that the guilty must bepermanently and forever removedas an inhabitant of this planet.From it there is no earthly re-demption for the one receiving it.Because of its permanence, andbecause it is abhorrent to our soci-ety to execute an innocent person,

it should be carried out only when,on the evidence, there is no possi-ble chance of it being inflicted onan innocent person.

As to the method, which hasbeen the object of great concernbecause we insist on it being donein a humane way, thousands ofpeople are rendered unconsciousevery day in hospitals and clinics.

And while unconscious, all man-ner of procedures are carried outthat, if the person were conscious,would be considered inhumane.Why can’t we use a common gen-eral anesthetic to render the guiltyunconscious and then get on withthe execution?

Floyd Petersen,Loma Linda

Use general anesthetic before executions

The worst drought since 1987through 1992 has our officials sit-ting on their hands with the age-old mantra, “Conserve, conserveand conserve.” Maybe that willhelp but it’s not a solution. If ourofficials had an ounce of foresightthe state would scrap the expendi-ture for a multi-billion-dollar“train to nowhere” and commitfunds immediately to desalination.Desalination is a proven solutionin use worldwide.

Israel gets one-quarter of its

water from desalination. Oman,since 1976 has been generating atleast 22,750 metric meters a dayand is building another desal plant.Qatar has granted a contract toMitsubishi for $260 million toconstruct a 36 million gallon-per-day desal plant.

Let’s use the site of the defunctSan Onofre facility for the desalplant serving Southern California,which may be the second majorconsumer after agriculture. Distri-bution systems are mostly in place.

Naysayers are lamenting the place-ment of salt generated. Put it ontrains and send it to the closedopen pit, iron ore mine in EagleMountain vacated by Kaiser Steel.Not enough rainfall there to initi-ate a percolation problem into thesoil/aquifer.

The sky is falling, Henny Penny,and we’re doing nothing for a per-manent solution.

Calvin E. Parker,Rancho Cucamonga

Desalination plants would solve water crisis

California’s current drought-water crisis has been caused, asusual, by environmental zealotsand liberal government who havestolen California’s gold and oureconomy.

Adding insult to injury, federalofficials from the Bureau of Recla-mation announced that the agricul-tural Central Valley Project andCalifornia Water Project customerswill receive no water allocationsthis year.

Indeed, the California WaterProject and the Central ValleyProject were created, paid for, andmaintained by farmers and prop-erty owners to deliver NorthernCalifornia water to the agriculture-rich Central Valley, and 25 millionpeople in Southern California.

It is simply criminal that envi-ronmentalists and an activist fed-eral judge have unconstitutionallyinterfered with private water con-tracts and made substantial cuts inwater delivery from the Sacra-mento Delta to protect the tinyDelta smelt fish since 2007 —which during this drought has ex-acerbated the water crisis by al-lowing 800,000 acre feet of San

Joaquin River water per year toflow to the ocean.

Fortunately, perceptive manage-ment from our California WaterProject contractor, The MojaveWater Agency, has indicated thatfrom conservation programs andunderground banking and storageof water supplies in our MojaveDesert area, we have more thanenough water for three years, re-gardless of drought conditions.

Study provides detailed stats on binge drinkingBy MJ Duncan

The National Institute onAlcohol Abuse and Alco-holism defines binge

drinking as a pattern of drinkingthat brings a person’s blood alco-hol concentration (BAC) to 0.08grams percent or above. This typ-ically happens when men consumefive or more drinks in one sitting,and when women consume four ormore in about two hours.

According to the CDC, approxi-mately 92% of U.S. adults whodrink excessively report bingedrinking in the past 30 days, andalthough college students com-monly binge drink, the CDC esti-mates that 70% of binge drinkingepisodes involve adults 26 yearsand older.

A new study out of Loma LindaUniversity (LLU) provides statis-tics of California adults by genderand detailed race/ethnicity cate-gories, which was published on-line in “The American Journal ofDrug and Alcohol Abuse” on Feb.12.

Data for the present study camefrom the 2007 and 2009 CaliforniaHealth Interview Surveys (CHIS),included responses from 98,662adults, and covered a wide spec-trum of socio-demographic char-

acteristics. Results are representa-tive of all adults in California.

Binge drinking causes over40,000 deaths every year in the USand has been linked to domesticabuse and violence, academic andpersonal problems, risk-taking be-haviors, physical injury to self andothers, driving while intoxicated,and failure to adhere to medica-

tions.According to Jim Banta, PhD,

MPH, from the Center for Leader-ship in Health Systems at LLUSchool of Public Health and leadresearcher of the study, the signif-icance of the study is that it pro-vides detailed binge drinking ratesby gender and in race/ethnicitycompared to previous reports. Ad-

ditionally, the study is adjusted forage and other factors such as edu-cation.

Data for the present study camefrom the 2007 and 2009 CaliforniaHealth Interview Surveys (CHIS),included responses from 98,662adults, and covered a wide spec-trum of socio-demographic char-acteristics. Results arerepresentative of all adults in Cal-ifornia.

CHIS has detailed data regardingAsian Americans by nationality,who as a group, generally, havelow rates of binge drinking. Thereis variability not often detectedwhen looking at Asians as a group;for example, an estimated 28.1%of Korean men binge drink, com-pared to 11.9% of Chinese men.

The study illustrates that “non-Hispanic whites have the highestrate of any binge drinking as wellas the highest frequency of bingedrinking during the past year com-pared to other racial/ethnic groups.Mexican and Central Americanmen as well as “other Latino”(non-Hispanic) women are signif-icantly more likely that whites tooccasionally binge drink, that is, atleast once a year, but less thanmonthly. Consistent with otherpublished research, the presentstudy also shows that men are

more likely than women to bingedrink.”

The study also highlights the factthat immigrants, especially fe-males, are less likely to bingedrink, as are individuals who at-tended graduate school. On theother hand, individuals withhousehold incomes of $150,000 ormore are more likely to bingedrink.

Banta, together with Mark Havi-land, PhD, Dept. of Psychiatry atLLU School of Medicine, has beenworking with CHIS data for sixyears.

“An advantage of CHIS data forexamining binge drinking is that itevaluates drinking over the past 12months, whereas many federalstudies only evaluate the past 30days. Thus, we are more likely topick up occasional binge drink-ing,” Haviland said.

Binge drinking is not healthy,Banta says.

“Binge drinking does not neces-sarily equate to alcoholism, but itcan be dangerous and a seriousproblem, nevertheless. The infor-mation in this report may be help-ful for planning targeted initiativesto decrease binge drinking, amongthose at greatest risk as well as forthose who may binge drink onlyoccasionally.”

Cesar Chavez Middle School student Isabel Cholbiparticipates in Scripps National Spelling Bee for third time

By Anthony Victoria

Isabel Cholbi will be participat-ing in her second successiveScripps National Spelling Bee

as a result of her triumph in thethird annual San Bernardino CityUnified School District Collabora-tive Spelling Bee at Rodriguez PrepAcademy on February 26. Cholbihas won all three competitions.

Unfortunately for the eighthgrader at Cesar Chavez MiddleSchool, this will be her last effort atthe national title, as the cutoff levelfor participants is the eighth grade.

Last year Cholbi made it to thesemifinals of the national competi-tion but missed out on the finalround when she misspelled ec-phonesis--a phrase often used inpoetry to describe an exclamatoryphrase.

“I feel these things change year toyear because I feel sometimes theycould be really difficult because of

tough competitors or be more onthe easy side,” said Cholbi abouther experience in spelling bee com-petitions. “I think everyone heretried their hardest and just beinghere was a victory in itself.”

Twenty-eight other students from10 different San Bernardinoschools participated in the compe-tition: Kimbark Elementary School,Chavez, Curtis, Del Vallejo, GoldenValley, King, Shandin Hills, andRichardson Prep middle schools, aswell as the Rodriguez Prep Acad-emy and the Public Safety Acad-emy.

The format was that of singleelimination. Each speller in thecompetition at the start of a roundspelled one word or answered onevocabulary question. If spelled in-correctly, they were eliminated.

There was a bit of confusion in thefirst round when Del Vallejo stu-dent Olawale Izebere misspelledthe word “corduroy”. One of theparticipants clarified that Izebere

has issues with hearing and speechso he could not hear them verywell. He was made to stand a fewsteps closer to the panelists in orderto enhance his ability to hear andspell out the words provided. Ize-bere finished third in the competi-tion.

Some of the young studentsshowed their disappointmentthrough tears, although there weresome laughable and gleeful mo-ments. Public Safety AcademyCameron Barker made the witty re-mark of “GG”, meaning “goodgame” in online gaming slang toaccept defeat. In addition, Cholbiwhen given the word bandit to spellremarked, “is this a trick ques-tion?”, garnering laughs from thecrowd.

In the end only Cholbi and MartinLuther King Middle School studentZahra Bakhtiari remained. Bothgirls were able to spell difficultwords such as “bourgeois” and“feng shui” to get to the final

rounds, however it Bakhtiari whowould concede the title by mis-spelling “rancid”. In championshipword, Cholbi spelled “Abusive”correctly to clinch her spot in theNational Spelling Bee in May. Shebelieves if she trains hard enoughuntil that time, she can exceed hersemifinal run from last year’s com-

petition and beatout tough competition.

“Everyone there has been trainingsince they have won their region-als,” Cholbi said. “I’m just aimingto get farther than I did before. Ithink I can do it as long as I trainhard enough.”

Mexican Consulate offers program for travelersheading to Mexico

By Jazmine Collins

Acommunity forum held atthe Mexican Consulateof San Bernardino had

representatives covering questionswith regards to Covered Californiaand the El Paisano program.

The El Paisano program is a per-manent program initiated by theMexican government to assisttravelers intending on visitingMexico during the three major sea-sons of travel for visitors to thecountry, which are: "SemanaSanta" which encompasses theEaster Holiday, Summer and Win-ter.

The program El Paisano is de-signed to inform, primary Mexicannationals, or dual citizenship hold-ers with their rights and benefitswhen traveling. The program pro-vides a comprehensive bookletthat traveler can carry to help iden-tify government officials and whatthe program calls "suggestedroutes," which maps ways for trav-elers to get to their destinationsafely. Over 900 people from the

El Paisano program will be foundalong these suggested routes at sta-tions called "paraderos seguros" orsecure stops, where travelers mayrest and get medical and mechani-cal assistance is provided. Travel-

ers are urged to only stop in thosedesignated areas as they offer asafe, secure environment.

Mexican citizens visiting thecountry are allowed to bring up to$500 in merchandise per personwithout being taxed and only theamount over the cap will be taxedat 16%. American citizens travel-ing without dual citizenship arealso allowed to bring up to $300 inmerchandise per person beforebeing taxed. "We always encour-age parents to obtain dual citizen-ship for their minors," saidAlejandra Cano, El Paisano Rep-resentative. U.S. travelers mustalso pay a permit fee called"DNR," whereas Mexican nation-als are not required to.

People who participate in the ElPaisano program are equippedwith all emergency contact num-bers, which will be available withany cell phone with extended cov-erage into Mexico. The programalso has what they call "AngelesVerdes" or Green Angels, whichare part of the Mexican tourismdepartment. Angeles Verdes pro-vides safe access to roadside assis-tance in the event of anonlife-threatening emergency.

Those who intend on travelinginto Mexico are urged to visit theMexican Consulate prior to travelsto become more informed abouttheir rights as a visitor to the coun-try. To learn more about the El

Paisano program, please visit:http://www.paisano.gob.mx/ or

Bookstore in Redlands celebrates Dr. Seuss, literacy campaign

By Yazmin Alvarez

Children of all ages donnedpersonalized red-and-white striped hats Saturday

as they walked through aisles ofbooks at Barnes & Noble Redlandsin search of a cat--The Cat in theHat, that is.

Author Theodor “Seuss” Geisel’smost beloved character, The Cat inthe Hat, made an appearance at thebookstore in celebration of the fa-mous author’s birthday and to helpkick off the National Education As-sociation’s Read Across Americacampaign.

In his seven-foot wonder, The Catprowled around the bookstore high-fiving children reading and evenstopping to pose for a photo oppor-tunity or two.

Activities Saturday afternoon in-cluded face painting, crafts, a scav-enger hunt and storytimehighlighting Geisel’s popular Dr.Seuss books as part of the nation-wide literacy effort to promote andcelebrate reading.

Student volunteers from localschools shared stories like GreenEggs and Ham, One Fish Two FishRed Fish Blue Fish and of course,The Cat in the Hat.

But Saturday’s event didn’t justfocus on all things Seuss.

It was a day to promote literacyand spark imagination, said LaurieAldern, community relations man-ager for the Redlands store.

In support of the Read AcrossAmerica campaign, guest authorsAdam Glendon Sidewell andFrans Vischer recently visitedRedlands-area, San Bernardino andYucaipa schools, to read copies oftheir books to children. The two au-thors were also on hand Saturday,where area educators like Lidia

Ruiz, stopped by to give manythanks for their school visits.

“(The author visits) really inspirethe little ones to read more,” saidRuiz, librarian at St Adeline’s inHighland.” “They see them andthey understand that there is a per-son behind this book that they’rereading and someone had to createit.” For the older students at theschool, the author visits help inspirecreativity, Ruiz added.

“They got a chance to talk withhim and he even gave tips on whereto start or how to develop ideas. It’sa great tie-in for Read AcrossAmerica”

A portion of Saturday’s celebra-tion also served as a book fair forBonnie Oehl Elementary, HighlandGrove Elementary, Valley Elemen-tary in Yucaipa and St. Adelaide’sAcademy in Highland. A portion ofsales from the event will also ben-efit the Redlands PTA ScholarshipFund in support of local graduatingseniors.

"The blood drive is important tome because saving lives is anhonor. The gift of life is some-thing you can’t put a price on. Allit takes is a few minutes out ofyour day and you get the satisfac-tion of knowing you’ve helpedsomeone continue their life," saidfellow student, Erick Martinez.

Job Corps hopes to bring in over1,000 donations in order to meeta goal of 86 units of blood. Theblood drive will take place in-house at the Inland Empire JobCorps Center located at: 3173Kerry St, in San Bernardino.

“Fasting for Families” bus makes stop in San Bernardino

By Anthony Victoria

The “Fasting for FamiliesAcross America” cam-paign bus made a brief

stop at Service Employees Inter-national Union (SEIU) office inSan Bernardino on ThursdayFebruary 27 and was followed bya visit to Rep. Gary Miller’s office

in Rancho Cucamonga in supportof immigration reform.

With two designated busses, oneheading north and the other south,community organizers and resi-dents plan to make stops in sev-enty-five congressional districtsacross the nation, holding pressconferences and prayer vigils in at-tempt to persuade constituents to

persuade congress to pass immi-gration reform legislation.

Wendy Duchen, an SEIU organ-izer based in Los Angeles askedthose who were present a question.“How many of you know a personthat in this moment can benefitfrom immigration reform,” withmany raising their hand in agree-ment. She also thanked those whoput in the effort to make phonecalls and attended rallies to makeimmigration reform advocacy pos-sible.

Pointing at an empty chair, sheexpressed her disappointment atRep. Miller. “Unfortunately, wehave an empty chair,” she said.“Everyone has a choice, there issomething called free will,” shecontinued. “You choose to dosomething because it inspires,moves you, and you believe it. Wewill continue to try and invite him.It wasn’t an invitation to yell athim or throw our plates at him, butto get him to look at the commu-nity. These are the people you rep-resent.”

Christian Avila from Mi Fa-milia Vota (My Family Votes)said he believes it is time for con-gress to take action. “We need tohave a conversation with our peo-ple about this moral crisis and thecost of an action,” he said.

Avila then picked up a shoe, dis-played it to the crowd, and said,”This is the price of an action. Thiswas the shoe of someone that hadan American dream,” he said.

“This was someone’s child andthey have died alone in the desert.There are four hundred people justlike this that die in the desert everyyear and eleven hundred who getseparated from their families everyyear. These are not just numbersbut these are real people with realdreams and families.”

Teresa Alvarez, a resident of LosAngeles, said she is taking part inthe trip because she believes herhusband who is undocumented de-serves the right to live in the U.S.and be a father to his children. “He

needs to be there to make theminto respectable men,” she said.“My children know that if their fa-ther is deported, there is a chancethat they will never see him again.They are hoping that the reformwill be passed for our family couldlive in peace.”

Olympian Lovieanne Jung makes appearance atFive Tool Plus baseball facility

By Harvey M. Kahn

Owners of the Five ToolPlus baseball training fa-cility said they would in-

troduce their business in a low-keyfashion. Their soft opening wasanything but as one of the top soft-ball players in history made a sur-prise visit to the San Bernardinocomplex. Two-time college All-American and Olympic GoldMedal winner Lovieanne Jung ap-peared before about 55 young ath-letes on Feb. 20.

Not only did Jung provide FiveTool Plus with a high profiled per-sonality, she was able to communi-cate effectively with the audienceof girls. Jung explained how to nav-igate in a sports where females see

few professional opportunities.Even the chance to play in theOlympics was reduced since soft-ball was eliminated after the 2008games.

Jung, 34 explained that the ulti-mate goal should be centeredaround learning good habits, work-ing hard and fulfilling commit-ments. She reminded the girls thatsoftball can lead to an education onscholarship. For those with that am-bition, softball should be treatedlike a job. In her two hour talk andsmaller discussions, Jung continuedto dwell on the importance of lifeskills and dedication. "Stay inschool and listen to your coaches.Especially as women."

Greg Kirtley, co-owner of FiveTool Plus said most of the girls who

came to see Jung were in the 10-18age group. Kirtley said he hadheard the name Lovieanne Jung butwasn't real familiar with her. He feltthat most in attendance had heardof her, either. "They quickly foundout who she was. Once she startedtalking to them, everyone realizedthat she knew what she was talkingabout. It was good for the girls andgood for us," said Kirtley. "For anew business to host someone ofher stature really gives us credibil-ity."

Kirtley said the longer Jungspoke, the more could realize theimpact Jung was making. "She re-lated well. She was able to talkabout the advantages of softball--asport without a high professionalbase. When she pulled out herOlympic Gold Medal and handed itto me, everything hit me. It was re-ally heavy. I knew the amount ofwork it took to earn it." He wasamazed also at the amount ofpower Jung could generate fromher relatively small frame. "Espe-cially when you realize she's hittinga fastball from a short distance inthe high-90's and then adjusting toa change-up at 60."

At 5-foot-6, Jung tied for theNCAA lead by hitting 25 homeruns while helping the Universityof Arizona to the 2003 CollegeWorld Series. Jung was twicenamed first team, All-Americansecond baseman. She was part ofthe 2004 Gold Medal winning U.S.Olympic "Dream Team" that trav-eled to Athens, featuring pitcherLisa Fernandez. Jung was votedinto the University of Arizona Hallof Fame in Feb. 2014. She was al-ready inducted into the U.S.Olympic HOF as a member of the

2004 team.Jung was invited to the Five

Tool Plus by Brian Sevick, man-ager of the SOCAL Nationals Ram-page travel ball team of Redlands.Jung, a native of Hawaii is on ma-ternity leave from the RiversideCity Fire Department, said aspokesperson for the City of River-side. In her bio, she says that soft-ball was played out of boredom.While in high school in OrangeCounty, she transferred from OceanView High in Huntington Beach tonearby Fountain Valley High,where she was named 1998 SunsetLeague MVP.

After earning a scholarship toFresno State, she was a transferagain. At Arizona she made threetrips to the College World Series.She was a third team All-American

as a sophomore. Her 2008 U.S.Olympic Team was upset 3-1 byJapan in the Gold Medal Game. Itwas the last softball game to beplayed in the Olympics.

Kirtley said he and co-ownerTroy Hodges were able to showJung their Five Tool Plus, locatednorth of 5th and Palm. It is a state-of-the-art hitting and conditioningfacility, including a virtual hittingmachine. There's a small bleachersection and a patio/snack bar areawith television. A recent hittingleague was played that includedRedlands East Valley and CitrusValley High. Greg Kirtley played atCajon High and at SBVC. His son,Zack who plays at Redlands EastValley is a preseason all-area pickat shortstop and will play on schol-arship at St. Mary's next season.

John Travolta’s butchering ofIdina Menzel’s name (AdeleDazeem) wasn’t the only

flub of the 86th Academy Awards,though it seems that the Internetwill never forget Travolta’s fauxpas, as it has spurred a new Twit-ter profile, @AdeleDazeem.

But he wasn’t the only person tomake such a mistake on Holly-wood’s big night.

Even the Academy found itselfin a flub. They posted a photo ontheir official Instagram account inwhich they mistook PenelopeCruz for Salma Hayek. The em-barrassing mess-up has since beentaken down, but not before screen-shots hit the web.

The public caught the media inseveral mistakes too. TheGuardian originally reported that

Bradley Manning took Ellen De-Generes’ now-infamous selfie, buta March 3 amendment to the arti-cle corrected the error — Oscarnominee Bradley Cooper actuallytook the picture, not U.S. soldierManning.

PPattinson Can't Quit Nasty Habit HeShares With Stewart

Looks like Robert Pattinsonseems to have resumed anasty habit on the

Toronto, Canada set of his newflick Life. Looking like he couldbe the stand-in for Jon Hamm onMad Men, with a clean-shavenface and slicked-back 'do, Rob gotinto Don Draper mode in a differ-ent way ... He was photographedpuffing away on a cigarette -- noton, but off-camera, during a break.Ugh.

Wasn't it just last summer that hehad supposedly "quit smoking forgood"? Hadn't "working out ...helped him tremendously with re-gard to quitting smoking," aftersplitting with notorious on- andoff-again smoker Kristen? Guessthat's not the case anymore ...

Sure, it can be difficult to keepup a healthy routine while shoot-ing a film. Especially one thattakes place in the '50s when every-one smoked like chimneys, whichmakes a perfect excuse for him to"get into character" by doing so,too. And I'll bet Rob's surroundedby cast and crew who are unapolo-getic smokers. But still. How dis-appointing to think he may havequit but fallen off the wagon.

Here's hoping it's not a sign he'sfully hooked on cigs again. Maybeit was just a temporary slip-up ...or a fake cigarette used in themovie? Because smoking is onenasty habit from his KStew dayshe could definitely do without.

Lupita Nyong’o was justfinishing up her degree atYale when she was cast to

play a slave who has caught theeye of her sadistic master in thecritically acclaimed and nowOscar-winning “12 Years ASlave.”

Over the last several months,Nyong’o has become a householdname as an up-and-coming actressin Hollywood and she solidifiedher place in history by takinghome the best supporting actressstatute Sunday night at the 86thannual Academy Awards.

Nyongo’s win is getting praisefrom fans around the world, in-

cluding her native countries ofMexico and Kenya.

“You are the pride of Africa,”Kenya’s president Uhuru Keny-atta exclaimed on Twitter, cele-brating Kenya’s first major Oscarwin.

But she's just as highly regardedheroine in her adopted country,Mexico.

Mexican President Enrique PeñaNieto quickly tweeted his congrat-ulations to Nyong’o, praising her“interpretative force.”

The actress, who also appears inthe new film “Non-Stop,” was

born in Mexico City when her fa-ther was a visiting lecturer in po-litical science at El Colegio deMexico.

While she only lived in the LatinAmerican country for three yearsbefore moving back to Kenya,Nyong’o said Mexico is just a partof her as is the African nation thatsaw her grow up.

“I am Mexican and Kenyan atthe same time,” she said on the redcarpet. “I have seen that they arefighting over my nationality, but Iinsist I am Mexican-Kenyan and Iam fascinated by tacos withroasted meat.”

The actress, who appearson Nylon's March cover,admits she finds herself

craving characters who pushboundaries – all roles that are a farcry from her daily life as a wife toCash Warren, mother of daughtersHonor, 5½, and Haven, 2½, andthe co-founder of The HonestCompany.

"I don't have to be a boss; I don'thave to be a wife; I don't have tobe a sister," Alba says in the mag-azine's spring fashion issue.

"It's been liberating to be able toplay someone who's a badass orpromiscuous because that's theopposite of who I am ... It's like adrug."

But stepping outside of her com-fort zone is still seemingly new forAlba, who adds she was alwaysone to play it safe in the publiceye.

"Before, I was so fearful of fail-ure and judgment that I wasscared to put myself out there,"she says.

Alba has since come to the real-ization that "you don't have to bea robot, you don't have to be ap-propriate all the time."

And if by chance, the 32-year-old – who "used to be so hard onmyself" – stumbles, there's alwaysan opportunity to start fresh.

"You have to realize that asalong as you don't make a habit ofit, tomorrow will be here, andeverything will be okay," she says.

By Yazmin Alvarez

Getting a few words out of12-year-old Elaina Car-doza could be quite diffi-

cult. But the moment a volunteer proj-

ect is thrown her way, the shy 6thGrade Clement Middle School stu-dent and Boys and Girls Clubs ofRedlands member becomes a dif-ferent person.

“It was two years before she evenspoke to me,” said Eddie Hernan-dez Jr., site director for the Boysand Girls Clubs of Redlands Hans-berger Clubhouse, of Elaina.

It’s reasons like these, along withseveral others, that Elaina wasnamed the Boys and Girls Club ofRedlands’ Jr. Youth of the Year.

She joins a group of other studentsfrom area clubs that represent theBoys and Girls Clubs of Redlands.

Elaina may be very shy, but shedoes great things that speak louderthan words, Hernandez explained.

Her commitment to the commu-nity and active involvement in theorganization’s SMART Girls pro-gram and Torch Club, also con-tributed to the several other reasonswhy she’s being recognized, headded.

Ultimately, the goal for the JuniorYouth of the Year winner and nom-inees is to be recognized as theclub’s Youth of the Year, whichserves as the Club’s area ambassa-dor during special events and meet-ings.

The Youth of the Year programrecognizes leadership, teamworkand communication skills, alongwith academic achievements andcommunity service. It also allowsthe youth to identify how the clubas impacted their lives.
