Groher was among nine currentand former Redlands High Schoolstudents—The Redlands HighSchool Torch Runners— who wereable to run, holding the games’Flame of Hope, July 9 as it crossedthrough Redlands.

The more than ½- mile run wasmade possible through UnifiedRelay Across America, a public legof the games’ torch run, which sig-nifies the start of festivities plannedfor the Special Olympics’ OpeningCeremonies July 25 in Los Ange-les. The opportunity to participate wasmade possible after $1,500 was

raised by Judy White, a special ed-ucation teacher at Redlands High. White said she wanted to provideher students an opportunity theywould never forget.“It’s great to have them be a partof something like this and see themshine,” she said. Groher was a perfect example ofthat and it showed as she smiledear-to-ear while holding the torchfor a portion of the run.She said “it was just Peachy” todo so.

Crowds of supporters followedalongside and cheered on the groupas they headed toward ClementMiddle School, where the Redlandsleg concluded. After passing through the hands ofthe Terrier runners, the torchheaded to San Bernardino to con-tinue the Inland run for the day.White said funds were raisedthrough community donations inless than 3 weeks and the moneypayed for registration and torchfees, which includes a keepsake

torch that will be on display inWhite’s classroom.“We’re making history,” Whitesaid. Redlands is among several InlandEmpire cities hosting SpecialOlympic athletes starting nextweek.

After completing a fullyear at San BernardinoValley College, I made

some interesting observations.The college’s president, GloriaFisher, hosts monthly forums inhope to inform and address stu-dents. After attending several fo-rums, I have recognized arecurring theme of student andfaculty concerns. First is igno-rance. Information isn’t beingshared in a timely or accuratemanner, and students aren’t in-formed because they aren’t beingreached. The second is apathy, ormore specifically, the low num-ber of student engagement wesee on campus.Conclusively, this sparked myinterest in research regardingcomparisons and contrasts be-tween various decades of SBVCstudents. I browsed through com-pilations of SBVC newspaperarchives stored in the newly con-structed SBVC library (YEAR).In the November 19, 1989 edi-tion of SBVC’s The Voice, one ofthe writers wrote about chal-lenges students faced when host-ing campus events. The student stated, “Almostevery event has had a disastrousattendance. This may be due inpart to a lack of interest in thetype of events planned and it maybe due to an inadequate methodof communication.” In spite ofthe various exciting changes that

the school and newspaper havegone through, one thing is evi-dent: 26 years later, ignoranceand apathy still lingers through-out the SBVC campus.It is no surprise that the col-lege’s residing city, SanBernardino, faces these same is-sues. The city is unable to reachits full potential as the countyseat. I find a root cause to be thelack of education in the city,which has created an apatheticcommunity poisoned by igno-rance. Even if a mastermind cre-ated a PowerPoint presentationwith detailed steps and ultimatesolutions to life's greatest prob-lems, our community would notanswer the call because frankly,there is no call. No one at Valleyis held accountable for reachingthe student population. No onedowntown is held accountablefor informing the public. The rapid growth of human ac-cessibility to the Internet has ledto more information about eventsand resources. You would thinkthat there would be a largerturnout of people as a result, butthat isn’t the case. Valley hasconsistently attempted to utilizethe Internet by sending informa-tion to students via email. De-spite this tool, a small percentageof the student population actuallyreads the updates and attends theevents held by student leadersand administration.In the Spring, during my cam-paign for Student OrganizationsSenator in the Associated StudentGovernment, I began to under-stand that many students are un-informed of how to access theirstudent email. I began to believethat the issue isn’t that studentsdon’t care, but it was a matter ofnot knowing. Furthermore, these issues aren’tgoing to just change with flyersand social media. People need toinvest in community engage-ment. A type of engagement thathas not yet been invented, or atleast not made clear to us. No onehas figured out how to efficientlyreach the entire population withimportant accurate information. We cannot continue to print outflyers and try to hand them out toeveryone; it’s simply a waste ofpaper and an inefficient way totransmit a message. Email blastshave been known to work with asmall base of contacts, but with-out an efficient team to managethis institution, it will surely be-come another failure. Everyonecares about something, so I be-lieve there’s hope.

A Disturbing Day In AmericaFriday, June 26th, 2015, an extremely disheartening and very disturbing day for America.

Gary B. Leibelt Colton

By Rocio Aguayo,ASG Senator at

San BernardinoValley College

Jesus through God said "Thoushall love the Lord thy God withall thy heart and with all thy souland with all thy mind." This is thefirst and great commandment. Andthe second is like unto it. Thoushall love thy neighbor as thyself.On these two commandmentshang all the law and prophesies.

To me, this capsulizes much ofwhat is expected of those who pro-fess to be Christians. Some of thesuperfluous tangents we some-times pursue are unbelievably un-productive.

When the idolatries of suchthings as putting 1) money, 2) rep-utation and world renown, 3) self-ishness and ease, 4) jealousy andenvy, instead of taking responsi-bility for others (as we can) andfor oneself and our actions; we arenot following God and his firsttwo commandments. And alwaysremember, vengeance is only God

and the Lord's domain. Dignityand respect are words only, butthey need to be followed by posi-tive actions and words of all con-cerned. In my 76-1/2 years ofliving I have truly found it is moreblessed to give and more reward-ing than to receive.

The carnal world of ego, vanity,false pride and foolishness, is farfrom the spiritual world. Right-eousness (not self-righteousness)is the goal in dealings with others.Truth is the one thing that is a sureway to complete justice. If all ofus could put others needs ahead ofour own selfish and ulterior pur-poses, this world would be a betterplace to live in.

I can't help but think when Godgave us his ten commandmentsthrough Moses, he was directingthem to all earthly beings-not justa chosen few.

Certainly Jesus talked in his Ser-mon on the Mount about "Do untoothers as you would have them dounto you", he was talking to thewhole world. Far too many peo-ple in this world do not practiceany of these sage teachings fromthe Almighty. Some secular-lean-ing ·human beings would say whatI justsaid is just religious dogma. Butto me it is just common sense be-fore the harbinger comes true.

For some it is hard to envision aGod we cannot meet or see. Com-plete faith is hard at times; how-ever, in my opinion, the secularworld and the United States ofAmerica, in particular, could usesome religious common sense.

Remember God's Prophetic Messagesfor which America's Future Hangs?

Why did Colton Council Refuse togo out for Bid?

As reported by the ColtonCourier several residents spokeout in protest at the council's re-fusal to go out for bid to find thebest deal. It's worth noting thatcouncil member David Toro, whomotioned to accept the agreementat last Tuesday's meeting, re-ceived a substantial contributionfrom Republic Services for his2010 campaign (see below).Whether or not the Mayor andmore recently elected councilmembers received similar contri-butions from the waste hauler is amatter of speculation, as the De-LaRosa administration has seenfit to deprive the general publicaccess to these critical documents

by removing all campaign disclo-sure reports ('460's), from thecities website.

I anticipate the Mayor denyingthe city ever posted 460s for thepublic. Luckily, however, the on-line internet archive providesproof that the city did in fact for-merly provided these documentson it's website:

Stella and I recently returnedfrom an Alaskan cruise. Pri-marily to see the Glacier

Bay glaciers. I remember well thefirst visit.In the late 80’s I was to sail on theRegency cruise ship in the AlaskanInland Passage. Unfortunately itwent aground near Juneau and thecompany went bankrupt. I was ableto get my money back before thebankruptcy judgement. .So I changed my plans; flew toJuneau and spent two weeks inves-tigating the city. I was later encour-aged to go to the Glacier Bay, so Iflew to Gustavus on a six passengerplane.

Gustavus had a population ofabout a hundred, made up mostly ofhunters and fisherman. At that timethere were only a jet runway and aQuonset hut with the name “Gus-tavus Mall” on it. A small bus tookme to a luxurious Lodge with agreat dining room, shopping andvery comfortable rooms.It was located a few miles fromthe Bay’s entrance. In the wilder-ness we were warned to hike closeto the Lodge. Bears, deer, wolves,moose and other wild beastsroamed the forest.They also had a good sized ice-breaker ship for the Lodgers. Thatwas my introduction to Glacier Bay.When asked recently about thegreatest natural phenomena I’veever seen, I place Glacier Bay sec-ond only to Iguazu Falls betweenArgentina and Brazil.The Bay has changed drasticallysince it was discovered by CaptainGeorge Vancouver in 1795. JohnMuir, world renowned naturalist,was the first person to study glaciersin 1890. William Cooper visitedGlacier Bay in 1916 and made it hislife work. Muir and Cooper werethe two most responsible for gettingthe U.S. Congress to claim GlacierBay a National Park.

It was first declared a Park on Feb-ruary 25, 1925; then enlarged to3,282,000 acres in 1986.Today the groups of NativeAlaskans make up 16 percent of allresidents.Historians and anthropologistsplace the great migration of Asiansinto Alaska about 30,000 to 60,000years ago. They came across theBering Strait when it was a landbridge.Incidentally, because of PrudhoeBay and oil, each resident receivesa certain amount of money eachJanuary 1. Everyone is eligible whohas lived in Alaska for one year. Thelowest has been $800.00 and thehighest amount close to $2000.00.There are estimated to be 12 tribesor clans, but 3 main ones.Aleuts/Eskimos in the north;Athabascans in the center; andTinglits/ Haidas in the Southeast in-cluding the Glacier Bay area. Eachgroup had their own language andculture, including the style of theirhomes. They total almost 105,000nativesAthabascans were the most mo-bile and their homes were tee-peestyle. Historians give them creditfor migrating into Canada, USA,Central America, and South Amer-

ica. Their language is similar to theNavajo in Arizona. The largesttribes in the U.S. are: Cherokee,Navajo and Sioux. More than 3 mil-lion people in the U.S. are NativeAmerican people. There are 562recognized tribes in our country. Atthe last census, California recorded242,000 Native Americans.As the Athabascans migrated, thegroups splintered into various tribesthat developed their own languageand cultures. From the U.S. they de-veloped the Aztecs, the Mayans andthe Incas.Back to the glaciers. They areoften described as “rivers of ice.”Antarctica has 90 percent of theworld’s glaciers; Greenland has 8percent and the remaining 2 percentis divided between Alaska, Canadaand Russia. Alaska has 100.00 gla-ciers, but only 620 have beennamed.Before the Glacier Bay was as it isnow, it was the Summer province ofthe Tinglit Indians. They fished forsalmon and halibut and prepared forthe coming winter.Did you know that the sea-tide ofthe Bay can rise 25 feet in a 6 hourperiod? It covers an area of 1375square miles. It was a large singleglacier of solid ice until the 18thcentury. Then it started retreating.However, “it is still the largest pro-tected water park in the world.”

There are at least 35 named gla-ciers in the Bay. In 1850 there were150 glaciers and tributaries. The“grand-daddy” of them all seems tohave been the “Grand Pacific Gla-cier.” Three hundred years ago itwas about 12 feet thick and 20miles in width.Today it has retreated by 65 milesto the Tark Inlet and in the processleft 20 glaciers in its trail. It isunique in that the snout is totallyblack, from the stones and debris itpicks up.Right beside it is the MargerieGlacier that is pure white and is ad-vancing. The difference is the sizeof the mountains that provide thesnow to each of the glaciers.The mountains for the MargerieGlacier –providing snow- are over15,000 feet high and the snow lastsall year round.The National Park Service hasregulations in addition of two cruiseships per day. It permits three tourboats, six charter vessels and 25 pri-vate vessels.Currently the Glacier Bay glaciersare being studied to see the effect ofglobal warming. The conclusion?“It is estimated that if current warm-ing trends continue, there will beNO glaciers left in the park by2030.”Amen. Selah So be it.

Algebra made more accessible to immigrant students throughpartnership between UC faculty, Mexican educators

By MJ Duncan

As more school districtsare encouraging studentsto explore STEM (sci-

ence, technology, engineering andmath) concepts, this may pose achallenge for thousands of immi-grant students who may fall be-hind in math, specifically, due tothe lack of fluency in English.Bilingual instruction is largelyprohibited in California and, ac-cording to Patricia Gandara, pro-fessor of education at UCLA andchair of the UC-Mexico Initia-tive’s Education Working Group;as a result secondary students whodon’t speak English quickly fallbehind.This phenomenon also affectsimmigrant students in Mexico,where US-born citizen childrenwho now reside in Mexico and at-

tend their schools are faced withthe same challenges where theiracademics fall behind due to thelanguage barrier.“So many either get pushed out,or become discouraged and dropout of school, which is a disasterfor both countries,” Gandara said.“This is one of the greatest chal-lenges identified by the UC-Mex-ico Initiative’s Education WorkingGroup, and the intent is to try tobring these education systems intoalignment so that one benefit is forthe kids to not have to suffer as aresult of moving back and forthacross these borders.”A new online curriculum hasbeen created by UCLA’s CivilRights Project, which Gandara isco-director, to address this chal-lenge, Project SOL, a bilingual,online curriculum designed tohelp students understand complexconcepts in their own language,even as they are listening to a les-son in a different language. Thename is a play on words, Gándarasaid, because “sol,” which meansbright and sunny in Spanish,stands here for Secondary OnlineLearning.The program is aligned with

Common Core standards in theU.S. as well as educational re-quirements in Mexico. The freealgebra course will be offered thisfall with future hopes of offeringadditional math courses and sci-ences following a field test thissummer at a preparatory school inLos Angeles. Approximately 55sophomores have enrolled in theintensive, five-week program,studying algebra five hours a day,five days a week. Gándara said theonly requirement for the programwas that students had to be begin-ning English learners.Students are divided into twoclasses, taught by Jazmin Ro-driguez and Edith Issakhanian,seasoned math teachers from LosAngeles. Classes will be taught inSpanish with an introduction toEnglish terminology. Studentscan toggle on their computers tosee an explanation of such termi-nology in Spanish.“I taught geometry and algebra,and for students who barely spokeany English, the vocabulary waspretty intense,” Issakhanian said.“I could see they were over-whelmed, but the minute I gavethem a worksheet and the instruc-

tions were in Spanish, they lit upand were comfortable again.”The University of Guadalajara,the largest public university inMexico, has teamed up with theproject and two of its math profes-sors have partnered with Ro-driguez and Issakhanian. Guillermo Gomez, executivevice president of the University ofGuadalajara Foundation in LosAngeles, expresses his enthusiasmin joining this program because offuture hopes to create degrees thatare both accredited in the U.S. and

Mexico.Collaborations with the UC-Mexico Initiative and affiliationswith programs like Project SOLhelp bridge that gap, Gómez said,and Issakhanian agrees. When sheand her fellow summer schoolteachers meet together, she said,“The consensus is that this is agreat program. It is something Iwill definitely use for a long time.As a teacher, you have to be ex-cited for a program like this, be-cause it is so beneficial to thekids.”

Resource Center now home toInland Latino organizations

By Anthony Victoria,Staff Writer

Three of the Inland region’stop Latino serving organi-zations now have a place to

call home.Labor employee advocates Ware-house Workers United (WWU) hasgiven the Inland Empire-ImmigrantYouth Coalition (IEIYC), Justicefor Immigrants Coalition of South-ern California (JFIC), and UNITELocal 11 the opportunity to set upheadquarters at their Resource Cen-ter, located at 601 N. Euclid Avenuein Ontario. On July 11 the organizations helda housewarming party for the pub-lic to celebrate what they referredto as a special moment for the In-land community.The two former groups are part ofa regional pro-immigrant coalitionthat calls for just and humane im-migration reform and immigrant

rights. Together they have organ-ized demonstrations and protests,press conferences, and prayer vigilsto address issues such as discrimi-natory law enforcement practicesagainst immigrants, detainment ofimmigrants, and equal access tohealth care, education and employ-ment.Services that will be provided bythe JFIC and IEIYC include De-ferred Action for Childhood Ar-rivals (DACA) clinics, forums andinformation on Assembly Bill 60(Driver’s Licenses for undocu-mented residents) and Proposition47 (Reduced Penalties for SomeCrimes), and Medical enrollmentassistance. JFIC director Javier Hernandezsaid access to a center will helpeach organization improve servicesto constituents across the region. “The good thing about this is thatnow we have an office space wherewe can meet with our partners andcentralize our work,” Hernandez

said. “Having this space willstrengthen our work because nowwe can tell people to come meet ushere.”Mitzie Perez of the IEIYC said re-ceiving office space is an outstand-ing accomplishment. Due to thelack of a central location, the grass-roots organization that she helpedcreate in 2010 met in schools andother public places. “This is a very special momentthat we are able to have,” she said.“We are fortunate to have an officespace to share with organizationsthat are doing amazing work in thecommunity.”Last Saturday, Perez and othermembers of the IEIYC awardedDACA scholarships to threeCoachella Valley students---IsaacAlbarran, Ana Araujo, and LuisGonzales-Sarabia.“We were able to fundraise andhand out scholarships to youth whoare very resilient in their communi-ties,” Perez expressed. “We’ve

found a lot of need in the commu-nity for scholarships and access toeducation.”UNITE Local 11 organizing di-rector Manuel Roman---whose or-ganization represents hotelworkers, cooks, dishwashers, andhousekeepers in Southern Califor-nia---said it is an honor to share aspace with, “such awesome organ-izations.”“We are now proudly organizinghere in these areas and we will behere for some time,” he said. “It’sbeautiful to feel the vibe here.We’re all fighting for the rights of

immigrants and workers to help im-prove our economic status.”WWU Resource Center directorSilvia Carrillo expressed her grati-tude to all the organizations due totheir diligent work. She also con-veyed her commitment in ensuringher organization maintains champi-oning employee rights in ware-house and retail workplaces.“We have done a lot of work inthe past and we continue to do it,”said Carrillo. “We need to empowerour community in order to educateourselves.”

Grand Terrace High School's "Doctor" Skylertaking standout prep hoops career to UCR

By Harvey M. Kahn

Skyler Lewis has All-CIFand All-San BernardinoCounty honors lining

from top to bottom of her basket-ball bio and she hopes it adds upto an eventual career as an ortho-pedic surgeon. Lewis is consid-ered the first super star to comefrom 3-year-old Grand TerraceHigh School, combining accom-plishments in the gym and class-room. She was among thenation's prep leaders in reboundsand blocked shots throughout hercareer. Her 4.30 GPA this yearplaced 9th out of 441 students atGrand Terrace and helped catchthe eye of UCR basketball coachJohn Margaritis who awardedLewis a 5-year scholarship.The 16-year-old Lewis is al-ready enrolled in summer sessionat UCR and working out with theteam but will redshirt this season.Her coach at Grand Terrace wasJohnny Vasquez. She played fouryears of travel ball for coach KimKirkland of the Corona Force.Lewis will accompany and playfor UCR this summer on an exhi-bition tour of the island nation ofGuadeloupe. "I've noticed howmuch stronger they are at thislevel, yet actually I'm doing bet-ter against them than I thought,"said Lewis. The 6-foot-2 for-ward/center is projected to be amarquee component in UCR'squest for a future Big West cham-

pi-onship at the Division 1 level. "Ifeel that I can become a starternext season."While Lewis will concentrateon basketball in the short term,she will maintain her long termgoal of graduating from medicalschool. She says she would neverlet a chance to play professionalbasketball get in the way of be-coming a doctor. Playing basket-ball has run in the Lewis family.Her father, Emory Lewis was a

CIF-Player of the Year at SanBernardino High and later playedat Arizona State. Her mother,Lory also stared at SBHS and atSan Bernardino Valley College."My parents never forced me toplay basketball. It was a little toorough at the beginning but themore I played the more I lovedit."Skyler Lewis credited hermother with teaching her to be-come a student of the game. Lory

Lewiswas an assistant when her daugh-ter played as a 12-year-old fresh-man at Packinghouse ChristianAcademy, where she led the statein rebounds and blocked shots."Sky is good at everything shedoes,"said Lory Lewis. "Shecould read at 3 and passed a testto enter kindergarten. Being somuch younger has never been anissue. She has never been chal-lenged academically but I warnedher she eventually will be."

The young Lewis was a two-time female scholar athlete of theyear at Grand Terrace and a CIF-Academic Athlete of the Year.She was one of a handful whowon the CIF James StauntonChampion for Character Award,and was a member of the Na-tional Honor Society.Like her father did at SBHS,Skyler won her school's nomina-tion for the Ken Hubbs Award.She was a 3-time member of the1st team All-Sunkist League andwas a 2015 1st team All-CIF pickand 1st team All-San BernardinoCounty Sun. She was selected toplay on three 2015 county all-starteams. As a member of the GTHSvolleyball team she was a 3-timeall Sunkist league 1st team pick.For good measure she was theSunkist League co-champ in thehigh jump and a CIF-qualifier inthe long jump. Lewis still findstime to volunteer at Totally Kidsin Loma Linda, where she helpswith activities for those with spe-cial needs ages infant-to-20."She has set a goal and is not aquitter. She is compassionate andhumble," says Lory Lewis. "Shedeserves everything she has. Sheis my hero."Skyler Lewis says she is the

most proud of her senior yearwhen freshmen would come toher seeking advice. "It was anhonor to be respected by otherstudents and to be someone oth-ers could look up to."

“Mr. Kimberly’sbirthday”

By Yazmin Alvarez

Abirthday party isn’t com-plete until there’s cake,and Kimberly Crest in

Redlands whipped one up for JohnAlfred Kimberly’s 177th birthday. The celebration, complete with a

spike cake made from a Kimberlyrecipe, was held July 12 as part ofKimberly Crest’s Second Sun-days, a series of programs heldmonthly for the community toenjoy the Kimberly grounds.Series organizer Roberta Watson

said Mr. Kimberly’s birthdayevent brought in the largest atten-dance yet.She feels the Kimberly-Clark

name—Kimberly-Clark PaperCo.— itself brings about a lot ofcuriosity.“I think people just want to

know,” she said. “There’s not a tonof things on display in the houseof his so we wanted to host thisevent to give him some recogni-tion.”To help guests get a glimpse into

the life of John Alfred Kimberlyand the family, artifacts includingphotos, his daily diaries and break-fast serving tray were on display

inside the home’s Carriage House. John Alfred Kimberly, otherwise

known as the “Paper King” afterfounding Kimberly-Clark in 1872at the age of 34 with Charles Ben-jamin Clark, Havilah Babcock andFrank Shattuck, served as presi-dent of the Kimberly-Clark papercompany until his death on Jan.21, 1928. Among the most notableitems produced by the companywere Kleenex tissue(1924) andKotex, a line of feminine products(1920). Boxes of Kleenex tissues from

throughout the years were alsoamong the items displayed. While plenty more is tucked

away inside the home, Watsonsaid she hopes the birthday event“helped to highlight Mr. Kim-berly.”“It’s just a little look into Mr.

Kimberly’s life.”To learn more about Kimberly
