A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday and head to the hills to do some bear hunting. As he rounded the corner on a perilous twist in the trail, he and a bear collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside.

Before the preacher knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a rock and breaking both legs. That was the good news. The bad news was the ferocious bear charging at him

from a distance, and he couldn’t move.

“Oh, Lord,” the preacher prayed, “I’m so sorry for skipping services today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish. Please make a Christian out of that bear that’s coming at me. Please, Lord!”

That very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and began to pray aloud right at the preacher’s feet. Then the bear said: “dear God, please bless this food that I am about to receive!”

Be Careful What You Wish For

Plans For Pine Ave Extension Moving Along

By Glenn fReeMan

Chino Valley – After several years of being on the “wish list” for many local residents, the full connection of Pine Avenue, from Euclid Avenue to the Chino Val-ley, or 71 Freeway, may be as little as two to three years off.

The road in question heads east from the 71 Freeway through portions of southern Chino Hills and Chino before connecting with Schleisman Road in Eastvale. An interchange at Pine and the 71 is one of the most recently completed components of the freeway. However, to the dismay of many, a “missing link” remains at that junction with an eastern gap that prevents direct freeway access. The next entrance is over a mile and a half away at Euclid/Butterfield Ranch.

According to San Bernardino Associated Governments (SAN-BAG), the agency responsible for regional transportation plan-ning in San Bernardino County, plans are underway to close this gap and widen existing portions of Pine Avenue in the area of Euclid Avenue, from two lanes to four lanes.

SANBAG’s website lists the project as being in the “PS&E” phase (Engineering/Plans, Speci-fications and Estimates), which they indicate to be completed by spring of 2015.

Though coordinated by SAN-BAG, the City of Chino is act-ing as the lead agency on the project.

Jesus Plasencia, Planning Engineer for the City of Chino, stated in an email response that the city “is currently working with its consultant and other stake-holders to obtain environmental clearance for the Project.”

Plasencia says completion of this first phase of environmental clearance is anticipated later this year. However, he says a full timeline on the project is not yet available.

Once completed, the connec-tion would also be helpful for Eastvale residents heading west into Chino Hills and the 71 Free-way. Michele Nissen with the City of Eastvale says that although the city does see the connection as a benefit to its residents, “Eastvale is not in a decision making posi-tion, since it is not within the City’s jurisdictional boundary.”

On July 28, 1914, World War I began when the Austro-Hun-garians fired the first shots in preparation for the invasion of Serbia after the assassination of heir-to-the-throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. More than nine million combat-ants were killed during the more than four years of turmoil, which ended on Nov. 11, 1918, making

it one of the deadliest conflicts in history.

At the time, it was simply called the World War, or Great War, and it included all the economic pow-ers in the world divided into two alliances. The Allies consisted of the United Kingdom, France and Russia; and the Central Powers were Germany and Austria-Hun-gary. Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, and the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire and

Bulgaria sided with the Central Powers.

After the Russian government collapsed in March of 1917, the war headed toward a resolu-tion when the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany agreed to an armistice. By the end of the war, the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires ceased to exist, with the latter two becoming dismantled. This lead to the maps of Europe

and Southwest Asia being re-drawn, and some independent nations being restored and even created.

As a consequence, The League of Nations was formed with the goal of preventing further global wars. Renewed European nationalism and the humiliation of Germany contributed to a rise in fascism, and any further hopes of prevention were dashed with the culmination of World War II.

UPS driver arrested for theft

tis Hays, 36, of Rancho Cu-camonga, was arrested without incident by special agents with the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). Hays was expected to be arraigned that same day in United States district Court.

The associate who allegedly sold some of the firearms – Den-nis dell White, Jr., 35, of Moreno

Valley – will be summoned to appear in federal court for an ar-raignment in the coming weeks.

The 16-count indictment, which was filed on July 23, al-leges that Hays stole a series of packages containing guns that were supposed to be delivered to the Turner’s Outdoorsman re-tailer in Rancho Cucamonga. The indictment also accused Hays of stealing jewelry and mobile phones that were supposed to be

delivered to other retailers. This merchandise was also allegedly given to White.

Hays purportedly provided the firearms to White, who illegally sold the weapons to other individ-uals, and some of the guns were then sold to others. The firearms included 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber handguns.

Hays and White are charged with conspiracy; six counts of theft of firearms; six counts of

a long-time supplier to Apple, and their chips have been a component of iPhones. Their total revenue in 2012 was over $8 billion, and in 2013 they were listed as number 327 on the Fortune 500. However, the company has been unable to compete with emerging firms

in Asia, and techno-giant, Qual-comm, in San diego.

The layoffs will save Broad-com an estimated $700 million annually, and they will continue to manufacture Internet-driven devices used in home appli-ances, thermostats, and mobile technologies. Nearly all of the layoffs will occur on Sept. 26, with the balance taking place in early November.

receipt and possession of stolen firearms; and two counts of theft, receipt, and possession of goods in interstate commerce.

White is additionally charged with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.

The conspiracy count carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison. The weapons charges each carry a potential penalty of 10 years in prison. The stolen goods charges

each carry a maximum possible penalty of five years in prison. And, if convicted of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, White could face up to an additional 10 years in prison.

The investigation into the sto-len firearms was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in con-junction with the Ontario Police department.

Alamo Car Wash

you haven’t even had lunch yet. You could run all over town trying to get all of this done, or you could get it all done at one stop: Alamo Car Wash and detail Center.

dan Gerstner and his wife, Sylvia, opened Alamo 18 years ago, and they have run the busi-ness with a simple philosophy ever since.

“Our philosophy is to always have satisfied customers. We want them to be satisfied with what we do here, and 99.9 per-cent of the time, they are,” Ger-stner said.

Situated in a four-acre com-plex at the corner of Nogales and Francesca drive in Walnut, Alamo features a hand car wash,

a Mobil gas station and an Xpress Lube oil change center, as well as a number of shops, which the Gerstners rent mostly to automotive-related businesses, but also include restaurants, beauty salons, a dentist’s office, a locksmith and a bookkeeping service.

`“We even have a shoeshine guy. It’s really a one-stop shop,” Gerstner said.

The car wash offers full-service hand car washes and detailing, which include waxing, buffing and interior cleaning, as well as an express wash for people on the go.

“We have a new service we started a year ago—the Express Exterior Wash. It only takes five minutes and the customer stays in the car as it goes through

the tunnel where it gets hand washed. It’s for people who are in a hurry,” he explained.

Asked why people should visit Alamo instead of other area car washes, Gerstner said, “I don’t know what other car washes do, but I know what we do. We’re very picky about service and the little details. And usually, when the car comes out, it’s cleaner than it’s ever been.”

Package washes are popular, Gerstner said, especially the Sil-ver Package Wash. It includes an air freshener, sealer wax, polish wax, rainbow wax, clear coat sealant and Armor-All on the car’s tires.

Inside the brightly-decorated car wash, you can watch your car as it goes through the tunnel; get a massage in a leather massage

chair, listen to the sound of tropi-cal birds chirping, pick up a gift or card in the gift shop.

“If people need something at the last minute, like greeting cards, we have a wide selec-tion they can choose from while they’re waiting for their car. We also carry just about any kind of auto accessories you might need,” Gerstner said.

Alamo’s oil change service is also extremely popular.

“Our quick lube service is very complete. We do the complete maintenance service for the car, including transmission, power steering, brake fluid, the cooling system and fuel emissions ser-vice. Plus, oil change customers receive a free car wash.

Gerstner admits that Alamo is not the cheapest place to have

your car washed or serviced, but maintains that the services they offer make them competitive with just about anybody else.

“We offer a higher level of service than many other places, and that’s why we’ve been so successful. People love their cars - their car is like their baby - and it’s unbelievable how some of them treat their cars. We see customers who come in twice a week, and their cars look clean, but they still want them washed here,” he explained.

If you want to see the differ-ence in the way Alamo Car Wash and detail Center can make your car look and run, visit them at 784 N. Nogales Street in Walnut. For more information, including busi-ness hours, call them at (626) 965-7922.

Illegal sterilizationSteRilization from page 1

cian signed the required consent forms asserting that the patient was mentally competent and therefore understood the lasting effects of the procedure; in 18 cases there was a violation of the required waiting period be-tween consent and procedure. In some cases, the physicians falsified the consent forms, indicating that the proper wait-ing period had passed when it clearly had not. In all there were numerous illegal surgeries and other violations of the state’s informed consent law.

For one case in particular for a pregnant inmate at the Chino prison, a physician filed a form requesting approval for a preg-nancy evaluation and treatment. Nothing on the form indicated a request for sterilization; the woman was sterilized, regard-less, during a cesarean section delivery which was performed 17 days before the woman’s ex-pected delivery date. A review of

her medical records did not indi-cate any emergency conditions requiring an expedited delivery or sterilization.

Auditors have begun to urge federal officials to give the names of the physicians involved in the illegal surgeries to the Medical Board and the California depart-ment of Public Health for further investigation and possible disci-plinary action.

Prison advocates and former inmates say that prison medical staff targeted those who were deemed likely to return to prison in the future. The audit states that all the women who received tubal ligations had been in prison at least once before, and were repeat offenders. The prison medical officials have denied any ill intent; however, the in-tegrity of all these incidents is in question.

This integrity, or lack thereof, leads one to remember Califor-nia’s dreadful history regarding such things, labeled Eugenics. Wikipedia states that as an early leading force in the field

of Eugenics, California became the third state in the United States to enact a sterilization law, forcing 20,000 sterilizations between 1909 and 1963. By 1921, California had accounted for 80% of the sterilizations nationwide. This continued until World War 2, after which the number of sterilizations began to decrease, largely due to the fallout of Hitler’s eugenics move-ment. It is reported that Nazi Germany sought the advice of the California’s eugenics lead-ers in the 1930s. More current reports tout the sterilization as a way to avoid welfare benefits for unwanted children.

In response to the audit, the state prison health department generally agrees with the find-ings, and noted that steps have since been taken to improve the situation. A bill has now been introduced that would ban all inmate sterilizations for birth control purposes. In May, the Senate unanimously approved SB 1135, and the measures are now being taken up by the Assembly.

Rain, Rain, Go AwayAugust 2-8, 2014 9Weekly News Columnists/neWs

By paStoR MaRK hoppeR

We don’t get a lot of rain in South-ern California in the summer. In fact, we usu-ally don’t see a drop of rain between May and November. We get most of our rain in the winter and spring.

On our recent trip to Central

Europe, we experienced the exact opposite. It rained day after day for a week. The creeks were full and the hillsides were covered with lush green grass. It looked like a picture postcard. We all enjoy a light drizzle or an evening shower, but this rain wouldn’t quit. It rained hard for days.

The farmers may appreciate all the rain, but young grandchildren and visiting grandparents can get a little cabin fever after a week of

rain. Usually we got out each day to walk or ride bikes to a local park. It is fun to get out and the grandkids loved the play yard at the park. But it was hard to go anywhere with rain every day.

One solution we found was to drive a few miles to a nearby town and go to the shopping mall. This provided a good alternative and got all of us out of the house.

One of the best things about this part of the world is enjoying the

outdoors. It can be cold and barren in the winter, but spring and summer are beautiful. We love it and the grandkids do, too.

Whether you live in Southern California or Central Europe, rain and water are essential. In the Bible it says, “God has shown His kind-ness by giving us rain from heaven and crops in their season, providing us with plenty of food and filling our hearts with joy,” (Acts 14:17).

depressionBy nanCy StoopS

do you seem to be always sleeping or not able to sleep at all? Are you eating everything in sight or suffer from no appe-tite at all. Have you lost plea-sure in doing the things that o n c e m a d e you so happy? Are you unable to focus and concentrate? If you are able to answer yes to

the questions above, you may be suffering from some type of depression.

depression comes in many forms. dysthymic disorder is a very mild form of depression. People suffering from this are very functional but just don’t feel happy. People suffering from severe depression aren’t very functional and need to be treated. Severe depression can lead to suicide and must be taken seriously.

Bipolar disorder involves a

cycle of very manic moods and then a fall into a very severe de-pression. Many times the mania is accompanied by severe spend-ing or some other risk taking behavior. People suffering from Bipolar disorder need to be on medication. There are subtypes within these main categories that I won’t expand upon.

depression comes from a lack of serotonins, a chemical pro-duced in the brain. Many people choose to take a pill that will put the serotonins you are lacking

dear dr. Akiyoshi:

There is a guy I like at my neighborhood bar. I go there three t imes a week hoping I will run into him.

He is always polite to me when I talk to him, so I thought I had a chance with him. He hasn’t been there for the past two weeks now, and some of the waitresses told me that it’s because he thinks I’m stalking him. I have heard this before a few times from other guys I like. I swear I am just being friendly. What is wrong with people? Why are they so mean? How should I show men I am interested

in them?

Hannah

dear Hannah:

If the word ‘stalker’ has been used to describe you a few times, then you have some social malfunctions going on. You are probably not able to read body language very well, and are

back into your body. Exercise is also a great way to increase your body’s serotonins and to do it in a natural way. Many of my clients are asked to keep a daily feelings journal as a way to help combat their depression as well.

don’t let your depression or the depression of a loved one become a way of life. Everybody should be able to feel joy, and depression stops us from doing that. Take the time to journal, exercise and possibly get some professional help so you can feel

the joy in your life. This article was written by Nan-

Suspect caught, reward paid

suspect appeared to knock and ring the doorbell. After getting no response, the suspect made his way to the side yard of the home where the neighbor saw him peer through the windows and eventually move to the back of the house and out of view.

The resident immediately called the diamond Bar-Wal-nut Sheriff’s Station with a description of the suspect and vehicle. He was still providing an account of events to the sta-tion dispatcher when he heard a Sheriff’s helicopter circling overhead. Through his office window he saw the suspect run from behind the house and get into a car. He then saw him drive toward Golden Springs

drive.A team of Sheriff’s person-

nel pursued the vehicle and stopped it in the City of Po-mona, at which time they found a second suspect seated in the front passenger seat. They also found a worn tire iron and a black fleece glove; the match-ing glove fell from the suspect’s clothing during the pat down search.

Based on the initial state-ments and positive identifica-tion by the witness resident, Sheriff’s deputies arrested the suspects for attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools, and transported them to the diamond Bar-Walnut Sheriff’s Station for booking.

Under the City’s newly imple-mented Report for Reward pro-gram, the witness resident was nominated, and presented with

a $500 reward last month.Report for Reward aims to

help combat residential and vehicular crimes within city limits by providing members of the public with a monetary incentive of up to $500 for infor-mation leading to the arrest of individuals who damage or de-stroy property while attempting or executing a residential or ve-hicular burglary. The program is open to everyone; however, City and Sheriff’s employees are not eligible for a reward.

A phone call to the Sheriff’s Station at (909) 595.2264 (call 911 if the burglary incident is in progress) is currently the only way to report suspicious activity as part of the Report for Reward program.

every year. You can help to eradi-cate this disease from the area by taking an active stance against it through prevention. The Vector Inspectors recommend that you walk around your property and dump out any accumulated water in buckets, barrels, old tires, pots, and other containers. Report any

green and stagnant pools, ponds and fountains, as they can breed thousands of mosquitoes weekly; and report all dead birds to www.westnile.ca.gov.

WNV is primarily transmitted from bird to bird by mosquitoes. In some species it is nearly always fatal. The presence of dead birds in a neighborhood is often the first indication of WNV activity.

WNV originated in Africa and

was first recognized in the United States in 1999. There is currently no cure; however, most people don’t exhibit any symptoms. Since 2003, there have been more than 4,000 reported infec-tions and 145 deaths in Califor-nia, according to the Centers for disease Control (CdC), so the threat should be taken seriously. Symptoms include fever, head-aches, body aches, skin rashes

Mendoza Sworn In As Mt. SAC Student TrusteeBy MiKe tayloR

Walnut – Mt. San Antonio Col-lege student, Paola Mendoza, was sworn in as the new student trustee for the 2014-15 academic year during the Mt. SAC Board of

Trustees’ July 23 meeting.As student trustee, Mendoza,

19, will present the student per-spective on policy issues before Mt. SAC’s governing board. She will have only an advisory vote, which does not count toward

the passage or failure of a mo-tion. The advisory vote helps the board know how the student trustee stands on issues and strengthens the student role in the college’s shared governance process.

Mendoza, a resident of On-tario, is a Psychology major and carries a 3.6 GPA. She has served as a senator with the Mt. SAC Associated Students (student government) and holds memberships in the campus Psy-

chology Club and IdEAS Club, which serves as an advocate for undocumented students.

After she graduates from Mt. SAC, Mendoza plans to trans-fer to UCLA as a Psychology major.

Mosquitoes are most active

from dusk to dawn, and when enjoying warm summer evenings, be sure to wear loose-fitting long pants and sleeves, and shoes and socks. Treating exposed skin areas and outside clothing with repellents containing dEET, Picaridin, and oils of lemon euca-lyptus can also be helpful, accord-ing to the CdC.
