sign up for Medi-Cal and allowsome low-income adults to regis-ter for a different program thatgives the same services if statefunding allows it. High incomeearners will be able to purchaseunsubsidized coverage throughCovered California on federalgovernment approval.Senator Ricardo Lara (D-BellGardens) told several media out-lets last week that the bill is a de-cisive step forward that will be“transformational” to thousands offamilies."Ensuring every kid in Califor-nia grows up healthy with an op-portunity to thrive and succeed isthe right thing to do," Lara said.Proponents of the bill in the In-land Empire believe it is a com-prehensive step in the rightdirection. For over a year organiz-ers from the California Partner-ship, the Training OccupationalDevelopment Educating Commu-nities (TODEC) Legal Center, theInland Empire Immigrant YouthCoalition (IEIYC), and the Cali-fornia Immigrant Youth JusticeAlliance (CIYJA) have organizeddemonstrations, press confer-ences, and traveled to Sacramentoin hopes of ensuring the bill’s pas-sage.“I think it is a key,” said Califor-nia Partnership organizer andRiverside Community Collegeprofessor Maribel Nunez. “We’relooking at 122,000 residents inRiverside and San Bernardinopossibly benefiting from this.That’s the figure we have for bothcounties. For the first time in theirlives, these people will have a pro-

gram that will help them with theirhealth.”For IEIYC organizer DianeyMurillo, 22, the ability for undoc-umented immigrants to receive af-fordable health care would beessential, not only for the well-being of the Latino community,but also for the prosperity of herfamily. “Being the daughter of undocu-mented parents is difficult becauseI qualify for Medical because ofDACA, but my parents don’t havecoverage,” explained Murillo.“Without the amendments, myparents wouldn’t have qualified.” When asked what she thoughtabout the concerns over statecosts, Murillo said the state shouldfocus on divesting from Prisons--an institution she believes is onlycontributing to the demise oflower income communities.“The thought is always themoney. ‘How much is this billgoing to cost? The state doesn’thave enough money,’” she said.“Yet, you still see the percentageof funding to prisons growing.There’s a possibility that theRiverside County jail will expand.Why don’t they question that?Why does money have to be moreimportant than someone’s life?”

were all the same to him. He did-n’t see color or race. He only sawbrothers and sisters. He alwaysmade me so proud.”El Hassanieh, 39, passed away onMay 24 after being hit by a car theday prior. He succumbed due to in-juries to his head. San Bernardino councilwomanVirginia Marquez, who livesacross the street from both thechurch and the store, decided tocontact Pastors Dr. RaymondTurner and Alfredo Rodriguez tohold the prayer vigil as a means toallow the community to pay theirrespects. “This is just a testament of howmy friend Sammy impacted all of

you here,” said Marquez. “At theend of the day, he was an impor-tant part of the community.”Approximately 50 people at-tended the vigil and spoke ofSam’s outgoing personality, hisgentleness, humility, sense of hu-mour, and commitment to servingthe customers of the WestsideFood and Liquor store.Teresa Ramirez, a mother of fivechildren, recalls El Hassanieh’scommitment to helping customersdeal with serious issues. She saidhis unfortunate death is a “wakeup” call to the community.“Instead of fighting each other,hurting each other, and killing oneanother, we should be helping peo-ple when they are down,” saidRamirez. “Sam did that for people.

I remember going into the storesometimes struggling to pay forfood for my child and he wouldsay, ‘Hey mom, get him what heneeds and that’s it.’ He couldn’tsee a family struggling without of-fering to help and that’s beautiful.”Jessica Garth of Redlands--aclose friend of the El Hassaniehfamily--said it pains her to seethem dealing with Sam’s untimelydeath, but is satisfied to see theoutpour of community supportthey have received.“It is hard, but it is so good to seethe community come here in num-bers to celebrate his life,” Garthsaid. “It is wonderful to see the im-pact he had on all of you.”

Water Conservation Tips:Every week I will feature somewater conservation tips to help res-idents start to reduce the waterconsumption we are all required todo. Here are three tips for outdoorwater conservation:1. Use a broom to sweep side-walks and driveways, instead of agarden hose.2. When mowing the lawn, leavethe clippings on the lawn asmulch. This protects the rootsfrom the heat and holds in mois-ture so the lawn does not need tobe watered as often.3. Check outdoor water faucetsfor leaks. Fixing leaks saves waterand money.Because California is experienc-ing a severe drought, there are re-bate programs available toresidents through the water depart-ment. Check with your water de-partment before purchasing anyequipment to see what is available.

Streamlining government will makeit more efficient

Gov. Jerry Brown and at leastone lawmaker in Sacramento wantto provide “amnesty” for poorpeople who have huge trafficticket fines. They feel (as does theAmerican Civil Liberties Union)that the poor are being singled outfor economic punishment not fit-ting the crime.

Their answer is to either providean 18-month amnesty or drasti-cally reduced penalties for thesetickets for the poor. I feel thatthese escalating fines are a pun-

ishment for all people, not just thepoor.

My solution is to enact a perma-nent law that puts a reasonable capon these fines at all levels of gov-ernment. These fines are just an-other sign of a system ofgovernment that wants more andmore money to feed itself and itsever-expanding bureaucracy. Thereal solution to their greed is to re-duce the size of government.

As a bureaucracy grows, it be-

comes more inefficient. Stream-lining government by reducing itssize will make it more efficient,and demanding that all civil ser-vants be accountable for their ac-tions or inactions will help alleconomic levels, businesses andquality of life. “That governmentgoverns best that governs least” ismore applicable than ever.

Old virtues have been lostAthletes used to hone their craftthrough discipline, sportsmanship,professionalism and respect. It hasnow become more convoluted,with money, fame, sex, drugs,scandals, domestic violence andcriminal activities. Society hasgrown tolerant of these evils,while the media glamorizes andfeeds the frenzy.

Our children become more ex-posed to these problems and for-get the reasons why they signed upfor a sport activity in the firstplace. Parents become so addictedand obsessed with sports that theynegatively impact their children’sperception and attitude towardssports.

If there are lessons to be found insports today, we should ask thenow infamous and controversialathletes what drove them in andout of it.

Why not split Iraq into severalregions?

Elizabeth Kerr’s letter on Iraqwas right on track! As she noted,

many Sunni and Shiite Muslimshave hated each other for almost1,500 years. However, many of usin the West should not be smug.

Why were religious Christiansfighting each other in NorthernIreland? While most of the popu-lation doesn’t think about theSunni-Shite split, our governmentleaders should have understoodthis and not led us into the secondIraq war.All is not bad news: We did notinvade Syria nor support the“elected” Muslim Brotherhood of

Eqypt. The lesser evil solution: Inthe past, India split into Pakistanand later, Bangladesh. For betteror worse, Israel was carved out ofthe Middle East.

We should now support a Kur-distan, Sunnistan and a Shiitestanout of the mess that is now Iraq.It’s likely these new independentnations, in their self-interest,would then unite in the fightagainst ISIS.

I’m from the baby-boom gener-ation, with a different mindset onhow sports influences our lives.For example, approximately sevenyears ago, a young, upcomingpitching prospect lived next doorto me in San Pedro. At the time, hewas in the Pittsburgh Pirates farmsystem. He now pitches for theOakland A’s on their active roster.He since has moved out of SanPedro, as I have also.

One day, I had a conversationwith him on his feelings abouthigh-profile major leagueballplayers using steroids. He said“I don’t have a problem with it.” I

said, “Really?”

I then explained my point ofview to him — that he was tryingto make a professional living forhimself by pitching in the majorleagues and that his chances couldbe taken away if there was a hitteron steroids, slamming all of hisbest pitches.

He still answered with his origi-nal answer.

I would never stand for a situa-tion where someone was cheatingand the result became the loss ofmy future.

Although he made it to the majorleague, the mindset of the youngergeneration seems to be just turn-ing the other cheek.

The future lessons taught fromsports are being built on a veryweak foundation. Our future gen-erations will think nothing aboutcheaters, which will lead to the de-mise of respect and integrity insports.

Words to Think About:The Many Gifts in Life

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

Last Christmas I was given aDaily Devotional book as agift. It contained a daily

comment taken from several ofPope Francis’ homilies.The May 27, 2015 devotional wastitled, Living A Gift. In it he said,“To live life is a gift, a gift to begiven-not a treasure to be storedaway.”He compared this way of living tothe words of Jesus, “Greater lovehas no man than this, that man laydown his life for his friends.”(Gospel of John 15:13)I’ve thought of these words forsome time, particularly in the waysof what we have to share or to giveto others. Again particularly tothose whom we love.What is there about us that we cangive? I suggest six ideas.1. THE GIFT OF LOVE. A greatpoet, Rod McKuen, has aptly said,“There is no harm in not beingloved, only in not loving.” To letour loved ones, particularly our chil-dren, know that they are reallyloved, is a gift like no other.Stella and I never finish a phoneconversation with any of our kids,without saying, “I love you.” I reada line the other day. “I want to be thekind of man that my dog thinks Iam.” I’ve changed it to, “I want tolove my kids as much as they thinkI do.”2. THE GIFT OF ENCOURAGE-MENT. I’ve met many adults in my

work as a therapist that grew upunder a cloud of negative abuse-ofdiscouragement. They could nevermeasure up to the expectations oftheir parents or of other significantothers.Encouragement is a major factorin molding a confident and compas-sionate ego.3. THE GIFT OF TIME. I read acomment by one of my many Liter-ary Mentors. He said to the affectthat he never met a man that wasfacing the end of his life that said, “Iwish I had spent more time on thejob.”He went on to say, “I’ve met hun-dreds that said they wish they hadspent more time with their fami-lies.”Time is a priceless gift. More

valuable than silver, gold, bank ac-counts or stocks. Spend your timewisely by making it a gift given.4. THE GIFT OF EXAMPLE.

The influence of example is conta-gious-from generation to another.The older I get-now 87- my mem-ory turns to the example of my fa-ther. I think of him often. I grew upin the Great Depression; without amother; he raised me, so his exam-ple was a strong influence.Thriftiness. He began with aChristmas saving account. Reading.He provided books from religious tonovels. Religion. He took me tochurch every Sunday. Hard work.He started me with a paper routeand then with him at a foundry.Music. At age nine he bought me acornet and made me practice.Friends. He cultivated many and en-couraged me to have them.Amazingly. My daughters havemost of the traits of me and my Dad.5. THE GIFT OF ENERGY. Andcuriosity is indigenous to me. Casu-alness, blandness, indifference arenot me. The Gift of energy is mineto give. Intensity, diligence, suc-ceeding, loyalty and even beingearly are my personal characteris-tics.I consider these traits to be gifts.

My motto for living is words writ-ten by James Baldwin. “The chal-lenge of living is to be present ineverything we do. From bakingbread to making love.” This is theultimate expression of energy. It isa gift of life.6. THE GIFT OF PERSEVER-ANCE. This is a genuine gift. Quit-ters would be its opposite. It is life’sgreatest gift. It’s made up of deter-mination, willfulness, refusal to quitand survival.There are two elements to itsmakeup: the power of CHOICE andthe awareness of OPTIONS. Dr. R.Calling Ph.D. and a noted biologist,describes the evolution of mankind.He contends that we became whatwe are because of the potentials ofchoice and options to persevere.In fact, he makes the power of per-severance as the condition for man’sdevelopment. Darwin’s theory wasnot the “survival of the fittest,” butthe “survival of the fit.” To survivethe environment, life’s inequities,failures of all kinds, adversities. Thewill to choose and consider optionswas the difference.Consider these contrasting exam-ples of what I’m talking about. I’vebeen a follower of boxing sincebeing a teenager. I remember whenCassius Clay defeated Sonny Lis-ton-the favored. He (Liston) justquit. He threw in the towel. Andthen there was Roberto Duran. Thefighter that bragged he had fists ofstone. While fighting Sugar RayLeonard, he quit, saying, “No mas.”“I quit.”When Helen Keller was born, shewas unable to see, hear or speak.She became a college graduate; in-ternational speaker and all becauseshe refused to quit—she persevered.President Roosevelt had polio; Pres-ident Jefferson was a serious depres-sive; millions of people havefrailties, illnesses, losses, handicaps,etc. and have refused to quit.

Free lunches for students during summerBy MJ Duncan

Summer vacation for stu-dents has finally arrivedand with that comes end-

less summer fun, but for many ofthat population 18 and younger,access to a nutritious meal whileschool is out of session may be dif-ficult to come by. The CaliforniaDepartment of Education’s Sum-mer Food Service Program (SFSP)has signed up thousands of organ-izations statewide to provide ahealthy meal to combat childhoodhunger during the summer months,including many in the Inland Em-pire. The California Department ofEducation’s interactive website,www.cde.ca.gov has updated loca-tions where parents can take theirchildren for free meals during thesummer by simply entering theirzip code. You may also call 1-800-952-5609, option 3.“Only one in five low-incomechildren who eat subsidized mealsduring the school year are takingadvantage of the summer mealprogram, meaning a lot of kids areunnecessarily going hungry this

summer,” said State Superintend-ent of Public Instruction Tom Tor-lakson. “I urge families to use thisfree service so their children willhave access to the healthy, freshfood they need to grow, learn, andsucceed in school.”In Colton, for example, theLuque Community Center is pro-viding any youth 18 and under afree lunch from June 15 – July 23,from 12:30 – 1 p.m. The programis open to anyone at the park, andnot limited to Colton residents. “(The SFSP) is an amazing pro-gram and opportunity for our com-munity to provide something thatis very much needed,” KellyPhelps from the community centersaid. “It supplements the schoollunch program when kids are outof school and provides a healthymeal.”The SFSP is part of Torlakson’sSummer Matters initiative thatstrives to provide students accessto high quality summer learningopportunities that blend academicsupport with enrichment and recre-ation as an integral part of theiryear-round educational experi-ence. Providing nutritious meals

is an important component andcritical to children’s growth, devel-opment and learning.Other sites offering free lunches

include the Carl Johnson Commu-nity Center in Rialto, SalvationArmy in Highland, Lytle CreekCommunity Center in San

Bernardino, andthe Redlands Community Center.

Puentista launches #operationsnacksackto feed homeless in San Bernardino

By Anthony Victoria,Staff Writer

Cal State San Bernardino(CSUSB) student DavidGonzales, 24, said he was

walking through Seccombe LakePark one afternoon when he no-ticed two children and their motherstuffing a bed into a vehicle.“It hit me hard,” Gonzales ex-plained. “These are homeless indi-viduals. No one is born homelessso this is a reality the community

needs to see. That could be anyoneof us out there.”Gonzales—the outgoing directorof social outreach for SanBernardino Valley College’sPuente Club—developed a newcampaign, #operationsnacksack,which provides bags of food itemssuch as peanut butter and jellysandwiches, granola bars, andwater to homeless residents at Sec-combe Lake Park and underprivi-leged children in the City of SanBernardino. “I want these individuals to knowthat there are people that still careabout them out there,” said Gonza-les. “There is still humanitarianismin this world.”The Biology (Pre-Medicine) stu-dent decided to study the issues ofhomelessness after having seenfirst hand the plight of the home-less population during SanBernardino Generation Now’sSeccombe Lake Mural Project andwitnessing children go hungryduring his time as an employee ofthe San Bernardino City UnifiedSchool District (SBCUSD). Ac-cording to the San BernardinoCounty 2015 Final HomelessCount and Subpopulation Survey,among the 1,302 homeless livingin the area there is 25 families with58 children.“San Bernardino is one of theleading homeless capitals of thestate,” he recalled. “The onlymeals these children get some-times are at school or shelters. Onthe weekends, since there is noschool, the children don’t get fed.It is imperative that we assist theseresidents.”Gonzales said his decision to in-

volve the Puente Club was basedon his experiences in the PuenteProject—the national award-win-ning program that has helped thou-sands of California's educationallyunderrepresented students attendfour-year universities and con-tribute to their communities. Heintends on approaching clubs andorganizations at CSUSB in hopesof encouraging students to bemore engaged with residents. “If it was any organization Iwanted to get this started with it iswith the Puente Project and PuenteClub,” he said. “The support theyprovide and the “bridge” compo-nent of the program allows forscholars to connect with the com-munity...I want this project to in-volve other schools like CSUSB. Iwant community service to be ahuge thing for college students. Itshouldn’t be a mandatory thingthat a club wants you to do, butsomething that you are willing todo.”San Bernardino Valley Collegeacademic counselor and PuenteProject counselor Laura Gomezbelieves Gonzales’ #opera-tionsnacksack campaign will be anongoing project that will help theCity of San Bernardino. Shepraised her former student on hisdevelopment as a leader.“I think it is awesome,” saidLaura Gomez. “David has blos-somed as a person and has takenon various leadership roles. Theempowerment that he has experi-enced has been a direct result ofthe Puente Project.”For more information about #op-erationsnacksack, contact DavidGonzales at (909) 709-4601

La Serna walk off endsGrand Terrace’s title bid

By Richard Dawson

The Grand Terrace softballteam had been on the rightend of rallies during its

CIF playoff run, but this time itwas on the wrong end of one. Whittier La Serna capped a laterally with a 5-4 walk-off win overGrand Terrace during the CIF-SSDivision 3 championship game atDeanna Manning Stadium inIrvine on Friday, June 5. Grand Terrace (26-4) pitcherMelanie Olmos battled in and outof jams all game and took a 4-3lead into the seventh, but the luck

ran out. Angelica Lopez led-off for LaSerna (26-6) with a single, SydneySaucedo reached on a sacrificebunt and an error on the play ad-vanced the runners to second andthird. A single by Tori Ayala tiedthe game and a single by MelMadrigal ended it. It was the first CIF-SS champi-onship appearance by Grand Ter-race in any sport as the school isjust three years old. The Titans young roster, whichonly had one senior, looked poisedto win early on after building a 4-0 lead through three innings.

Grand Terrace loaded the bases inthe first with a walk and two sin-gles. Olmos hit into a fielder’schoice and an errant throw to theplate allowed two runs to score.The Titans could have done moredamage but stranded the basesloaded. Danielle Rico hit a monster two-run home run to left that clearedthe college fences in the third in-ning to make it 4-0. The Titans of-fense went cold after that. La Serna put pressure on Olmos,who allowed nine hits and sixwalks, in every inning but theLancers were just 2 for 15 withrunners in scoring position throughsix innings. The La Serna comeback startedin the fourth when DominiqueMejia hit a bases-loaded two-runsingle and the team scored again inthe sixth.La Serna lost in the champi-onship game last year.

Stephens manages full load in the class,on the court, at home

By Harvey M. Kahn

Nadirah Stephens was theteam MVP on ArroyoValley High School's un-

defeated San Andreas League bas-

ketball team and a San BernardinoCounty all-star. Stephens was theSan Bernardino Unified SchoolDistrict athlete of the year, MVP ofthe SAL and 1st team All-CIF. Shehas been honored with the AVH

2015 Principal's Award and the re-cipient of the AssembywomanCheryl Brown Scholarship Award.Earlier this year, she earned ascholarship to attend UCLA. InMay, she received her Ken HubbsAward as the school's top femaleathlete.Stephens biggest accomplishmentis one she gained without anawards ceremony. Unless you wit-ness her care for her mother,Stephens won't say much about it.Her mother is aflicted with Multi-ple Schlerosis and Stephens hasbeen her primary care-giver andthe head of the household since age10. "Yes. I am our matriarch. I amconsidered underprivileged withspecial circumstances. I cook,clean, buy the groceries and get mymother ready in the morning," saidStephens, in manner of fact voice."I watch my younger sister, too."She said there is nothing guaran-teed in life and that she wasn'tguaranteed the childhood she neverhad. "I could not control my cir-cumstance but I decided I can con-trol my academics. I learned earlythat I needed to create a life."Stephens did say that her aunt doeshelp, too.Arroyo Valley basketball coach

Michael Anderson says he willnever be able to replace Stephens."There will never be another Nidi-rah Stephens. We built the first Ar-

royo Valley SAL championshipteam this year around her and willbuild our future basketball alumniprogram around her, too," said An-derson. "She was so mature and re-sponsible that she was the peercoach. The team would listen toher, instead of it coming from meall the time. She was my secretcoach." Anderson has been AVS'scoach for two years. LikeStephens, he was his mother's care-giver until her passing at the begin-ning of this season."Nidirah helped get the teamdressed and ready for my mother'sfuneral. She helped dedicate theseason to my mom's memory. Theteam called her 'Mama Stephens,'"said Anderson. "She doesn't use herstruggles as an excuse for not to dothe right things." Anderson pre-sented Stephens with the MichaelAnderson Achievement Award,only the third time in his 12 yearsof coaching that he has given theaward. "Nidirah Stephens will beone of our great leaders of tomor-row. She had a tremendous impacthere."Stephens says her plan after grad-uating UCLA is to run for state of-fice. She wants to advocate forstudents of low income. "There isnot as much money that goes toschools in lower property valuedareas, therefore kids don't learnabout the opportunities afforded

them. Lower income schools don'thave a full time counselor in theirresource centers." She has foundtime this year to volunteer in a po-litical campaign and canvassed Ri-alto neighborhoods in favor ofProp. 47, which would limit termsfor nonviolent offenders.Her political activities occurthrough the Inland CongregationUnited for Change. "Did you knowthat we spend $60,000 per yearhousing one inmate and only$9,500 per year educating one stu-dent," noted Stephens.

She credited Anderson withcreating a environment for the firstgirls championship at Arroyo Val-ley. "When it comes down to win-ning, it's about the coach."Standing 5-feet-10, Stephensnearly tripled her stats from herjunior season. As a senior she av-eraged 16 points and 19 reboundsper game.

Stephens learned another les-son while helping feed people atMary's Table in San Bernardino."This man lost custody of hisdaughters, lost his car, his homebecause of one bad investment. Hetold me he was ashamed to visit hisdaughters," said Stephens. "I foundout it can happen to anyone. Veryhumbling. There's no guarantees.I'm going to try to make multiplecushions so that it doesn't happento me."

Arroyo Valley's Giovanni Magana contributedto school's banner sports year

By Harvey M. Kahn

Giovanni Magana makes aschedule at the beginningof each week and sticks

to it. Magana completed his highschool schedule with a date in Maywhen he was presented his KenHubbs Award for being the 2015individual winner at Arroyo ValleyHigh School. Not only was Mag-ana a All CIF-Southern Sectioncaliber soccer and tennis player, heearned the academic ranking of 14out of 590 seniors at Arroyo ValleyHS. It qualified him as a memberof the National Honor Society.Arroyo Valley soccer coachMiguel Alatorre considered Mag-ana one of the key's to this season'sSan Andreas League soccer cham-pionship. in addition, Magana ledthe Hawk's to one of its best over-all athletic years in school historyas a member of its SAL champi-onship tennis team. "He was oneof our captain's and his quiet lead-ership helped us to our most suc-cessful soccer season in schoolhistory," said Alatorre. AVHSmade it to the CIF-quarterfinalsMagana was installed as the pres-ident of the school's boys soccer

club where it was his job to makesure everyone was at school, atpractice and ready for games ontime. In soccer, he was named All-SAL 1st team and an All-CIF Di-vision 5 selection. Over his fouryears on the varsity tennis team, hewas the SAL doubles champion asa sophomore and junior and the

league single's champ as a senior.He advanced to the CIF-playoffsafter posting an overall 42-3 indi-vidual record and was part of theteams 18-0 record in SAL. AVHS tennis coach Peter Hi-dalgo said Magana is a testamentto Magana's athletic ability that hedid so well at tennis. Hidalgo

noted that Magana excelled de-spite not being a full-time tennisplayer. "Giovanni would do goodregardless of the sport. It is his hu-mility that led to his success. Herespected his opponent. He's just avery nice young man." Magana accepted a academicscholarship to Cal Poly Pomonawhere he has an open offer to playsoccer. He is unsure about soccerin his future plans. "I'm undecidedabout my major but I want to be-come a mechanical engineer andbuild houses," said Magana, whowas offered scholarships to othercollege's including Cal State SanBernardino. At Arroyo Valley, hewas in the teaching academy pro-gram. He said becoming a calcu-lus teacher was something hewould consider.

Yucaipa beats national No. 1Mission Viejo for CIF title

By Richard Dawson

It took three tries but Yucaipagot the monkey off its back.

After losing to Mission Viejotwice this season, Yucaipaknocked off the nation’s No. 1ranked team 1-0 to capture theCIF-SS Division 2 title at DeannaManning Stadium in Irvine on Fri-day, June 5. Yucaipa (31-3) went into thegame ranked No. 4 in the countryand after handing Mission Viejo(31-1) their first loss, the case canbe made the Thunderbirds deservethe top ranking which will be an-nounced on June 16.

Thunderbirds senior starterBrooke Bolinger outdueled Diab-los star ace Taylor McQuillin overseven innings, allowing six hitsand a walk while striking outseven in the shutout. McQuillin,the Gatorade Play of the Year,gave up eight hits but struck out15. The close game was on the lineall the way to the last batter. Mis-sion Viejo had Alyssa Palomino,No. 2 on the states career homerun list, coming to the plate withthe tying run on second with twoouts in the seventh. Yucaipa coach Dave Kivett had ameeting with Bolinger and catcherKelly Martinez before electing to

pitch to Palomino. Bolinger rewarded the faith byinducing a soft liner to shortstopby Palomino, clinching the firstCIF-SS softball title in Yucaipaschool history. The lone run of the game wasn’twithout controversy. SophomoreMegan Martin reached on a one-out double and senior JordanGreen followed with a single.Martin rounded third and ranhome when the throw was off line. Diablo catcher Kayleen Shaferattempted a sweeping tag of Mar-tin, but the result was debatable.The argument ultimately didn’tmatter as the umpire ruled Shaferobstructed Martin.

Westminster’s Gary Nguyen to ReceiveSmall Business Person of the Year AwardCuong “Gary” Nguyen,

founder of 24/7 Care atHome, has been selected

as the 2015 Small Business Personof the Year by the U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration, Santa AnaDistrict Office. Nguyen, who livesin Westminster, started 24/7 Care atHome in 2007 and has since grownthe company into a $10 million rev-enue enterprise, employing 150people and providing comprehen-sive in-home health care services tofamilies living in the Southern Cal-ifornia counties of Orange, Los An-geles, Riverside, and SanBernardino. Nguyen was nomi-nated for the award by KurtChilcott, President/CEO of CDCSmall Business Finance, a partici-pating SBA Community Advan-tage, Microloan, and 504 lender.A native of Vietnam, Mr. Nguyenimmigrated to the United States topursue higher education and earnedhis Bachelor of Science degree inelectrical engineering from CalPoly Pomona. Nguyen gained valu-able experience working in the realestate industry before launching hisfirst home health care agency in2007, providing care services to un-derserved communities in SouthernCalifornia. Beginning with five em-ployees, including his brother andsister, Nguyen and his team of pro-fessionals have doubled the com-pany’s annual revenues every year.In 2009, Nguyen added a hospice

service to his agency’s continuumof care, which now includes physi-cal, occupational, and speech ther-apy; mobile dentistry; podiatrycare; home-delivery pharmacy; andmore. According to Mr. Nguyen,the hospice team is also heavily in-volved in identifying and support-ing veteran patients and theirfamilies. A dedicated team of vol-unteers and staff routinely honorveterans publicly and bedside fortheir contribution to our nation’s se-curity and freedom. “It’s one of ourmost important programs, and wemust not overlook the opportunityto say thank you.”In 2014 owner Nguyen addedHouse Call Doctors to the com-pany’s services and changed the

company name to 24/7 Care atHome, with understanding that pa-tients are happier, and thus health-ier, when they are receiving care intheir own home. With the BabyBoomer demographic expected tosurge to 75 million seniors by 2030,Nguyen is confident the demand forhome health and hospice care serv-ices will parallel that growth.Nguyen projects the company’s2015 revenues at $20 million.Throughout the company’s eightyear history of serving the commu-nity, 24/7 Home Care has placed astrong emphasis on ensuring thatthe individual needs of every pa-tient are met, earning the companythe Pinnacle Quality Insight Cus-tomer Experience Award in 2012,

2013, and 2014. In order to qualifyfor the award, a sampling of theprovider’s patients and familiesparticipate in monthly telephone in-terviews as well as the opportunityto rate the company in certain cate-gories. The award signifies thecompany placing in the top 15% ofhome care providers in the nation.24/7 Care at Home has also beenrecognized nationally in the top 1%of home health agencies, by the Na-tional Research Corporation’sHome Care Elite. Nguyen is com-mitted to hiring a multiculturalstaff, bi-lingual in Vietnamese,Tagalog, Chinese, Korean, Japan-ese, Spanish, Cambodian and Farsi.Mr. Nguyen has provided fundingfor the Doctors Abroad Foundationas well as initial funding for Sup-portCare Family Services, a non-profitorganization created to help fami-lies who struggle to afford qualityin-home health care.The SBA became a vital resourcefor Nguyen starting in 2013. Withrevenues and employee base dou-bling every year, he wanted to con-solidate three separate leased officesuites. Nguyen used the SBA 504loan program, receiving fundingfrom CDC Small Business Financeto purchase a $1.7 million, 12,000square foot building. The next yearNguyen again leveraged SBAbacked financing in the form of a$250,000 Community Advantage

loan to cover operating costs andhire new employees.Owner Nguyen’s path to entrepre-neurial success has not been with-out challenges. Several years ago,he was involved in a helicoptercrash. According to Nguyen, “thecrash made a huge influence on myhealthcare career. It changed how Ithink about health care and hospiceand gave me motivation to helpmore people with their end of lifecare and quality of life. I’veadopted the personal philosophythat if you can’t add more day toyour life, then add more life in yourday.”Every year since 1963, The Presi-dent has issued a proclamation call-ing for the celebration of NationalSmall Business Week. Small busi-ness owners, entrepreneurs, andcommunity leaders are recognizedby SBA district offices at eventsacross the nation during this week.SBA’s Santa Ana District Office,which is responsible for the deliv-ery of SBA programs in the South-ern California counties of Orange,Riverside, and San Bernardino, willbe recognizing local honorees at theAnnual Small Business WeekAwards program, hosted this yearby the Orange County HispanicChamber of Commerce.

Top Pros Return to the Scene of GoodTimes at Glen Helen Motocross

By Joaquin Juarez

Lucas Oil AMA Pro Mo-tocross returned to the In-land Empire’s backyard.

This is the second year in a rowthat Glen Helen Raceway has beenback on the Lucas Oil AMA Mo-tocross schedule. This year fea-tured round two in the actionpacked racing series. The FMF Glen Helen AMA Na-tional was smiled upon by thegood Lord as the combinedweather of clouds, heavy to lightdrizzle and cool temperatures keptthe track in excellent condition.The first practice was a little bitmuddy, but when the first racecame the track was perfect andstayed that way all day. The ridersand fans were treated to a wonder-fully cool, overcast day, leavingthe typical burning heat GlenHelen usually has far away.First of all, one must understandthat each class, 450 and 250, runstwo separate races on the daycalled “motos.” The two motoscores are combined to give anoverall score, and the best overallscore determines the winner ineach respective class.Some of the best riders in theworld of dirt bikes hail fromSouthern California. Many ofthese local boys were competing atGlen Helen. Josh Grant of River-side had such a bad crash less thantwo weeks before this race, histongue had to be sewn back on.He braved the pain and soreness toparticipate in his home race, be-cause he loves Glen Helen and theSouthern California fans thatmuch. He was a soldier, turning ina performance showing fortitudeand strength. When most would behome on the couch, he went outand did his best for 18th overall inthe race. Had he not needed to gethis front wheel changed in the firstmoto, he would have been able tobetter complement his secondmoto score of 12th and score muchhigher overall.250sThe 250 class was first to roll onto the starting gate for the day.After the first couple of turns, de-fending champion YamaLube/StarRacing Yamaha’s Jeremy Martinwas no where to be found. Appar-ently he had bike troubles. Hisbike stopped running on the start-ing line, and by the time he and themechanics fired it up, the rest ofthe field was through the first turn.Martin never gave up, passed 34riders and finished 5th in the moto. In front of that field that got ahead start on Martin was KTM’sMarvin Musquin and leader JesseNelson. Keeping the crowd ontheir toes, the two battled for quitesome time, even changing posi-tions a couple of times untilMusquin got in front for good.Justin Hill charged up to second,Joey Savatgy came in third.KTM/Troy Lee Designs Nelson,who was injured at the end ofAMA Supercross Season, held onto fourth.The second moto was a chancefor a fresh start, especially for Je-remy Martin. Again the star foundbad luck, going down right awayand having to come from behind.His big brother, Alex Martin, didthe family proud. He worked histail off to finish second in the

moto, earning 5th overall on theday. He couldn’t catch MarvinMusquin, who turned in two firstplace moto scores to win the raceand take the series points leadaway from Jeremy Martin. Mar-tin, by the way, came from lastplace in the second moto to finish6th, grabbing 7th overall. The wayhe tore apart the track, didn’t settlefor less than his best and rodewisely was a sight to behold. Itwas a clinic on how to pass peopleeffectively on a motocross track.Hill was second overall (2-5) onthe day, and Nelson gladly tookstep number three on the podiumwith his 4-4 scores.450sEli Tomac won round one atHangtown convincingly. He wasexpected to do the same at GlenHelen in round 2. Ryan Dungeyhas been working hard to be readyto beat Tomac. The large crowdof Southern California-faithful,with much anticipation saw thegate drop on the first 450 moto. Joe Gibbs Racing placed two oftheir three riders up front right offthe start with their excellentYamaha machines. Justin Barciagot the holeshot, and Phil Nicolettiwas by him into the lead ratherquickly as the JGR, Auto Traderriders swapped spots a couple oftimes. Barcia took the lead backfor a while.In what seemed like a shortamount of time, Ryan Dungey wasin the lead with Eli Tomac all overhis rear wheel. Tomac kept tryingdifferent lines to get aroundDungey, but Dungey held him offand kept the battle going for quitea while. This is what motocross isall about and the Glen Helen fansthat braved the weather were beingtreated to the good stuff.Towards the end of the moto,Dungey’s bike sputtered andstopped. He re-fired it andcharged until the end. Afterwardshe commented on how it was cut-ting out a little. How courageous(or crazy) to continue racing forevery valuable point not knowingthat your bike will hold up? RyanDungey is a multi-time championfor a reason. A sixth place was thebest he could do in the moto.Barcia and Nicoletti ended upsecond and third when the firstmoto was finished.The second moto saw Tomac intothe lead right off the gate. Dungey,Barcia and defending championKen Roczen did not want to risklife and limb to catch Tomac, whoseemed to get faster as the trackgot rougher. Things would finish in that ordersecond moto. Eli Tomac domi-nated with a 1-1, Barcia got his

first podium of the year with his 2-4, Dungey earned third with his 6-2, and Roczen was 4th overall.Blake Baggett and Weston Peick,two more superstars returning to atrack they’ve raced since theywere on dirt bikes, had good rides.Grand Terrace born-and-bredBlake Baggett was very consistenton the day with 7-7 finishes. Thisgave him seventh overall in therace. Baggett used to race for localshop John Burr Cycles of Fontana,our home “mom-and-pop” shop.This is his first year on the 450 ma-chines and the fact that he has wonthe 250 AMA National MotocrossChampionship in the past giveshim great experience to pull from.He is still very much in champi-onship contention.

Weston Peick worked for a 5thplace overall with 5-6 finishes. Heis another local with truck loads offans at the races cheering for him.When I spoke to him after the race,he had positive things to say. Heloves the team he is on, loves themotorcycle, and isn’t taking forgranted the chance he has beengiven to race at this level with thisamount of support. His hard workhas been showing as his resultshave continued to improve as theweeks go by. The Team Managerof Joe Gibbs Racing’s Motocrossdivision is none other than River-side native Jeremy Albrecht.Peick had a major moment in thesecond moto. Descending one ofthe steep down hills at Glen Helen,a nasty, square edged brakingbump kicked his rear wheel highoff the ground. I watched him ridethis steep downhill on only hisfront wheel, something no onewould want to do and few couldsurvive with out crashing. Westonwielded the bike, manifesting hisincredible strength and agility toprevent a horrific crash.There are so many reasons to goto the races, so many reasons toride and participate as a family, somany ways that this sport providesopportunities to bond and growcloser in that family unit.
