ed earlier this school year after aunanimous school board decisionover a year ago.On Wednesday May 20 schoolboard members, education and citydignitaries, and community lead-ers were present to witness thededication ceremony honoring theschools namesake, former SanBernardino mayor William RobertBob Holcomb. The event wasorganized by longtime communityleaders Frances Grice and RachelClark--leaders of the Friends ofBob Holcomb committee.Holcomb served during two peri-ods as the city's mayor: first from1971 to 1985 and again from 1989to 1993. The 18 years he servedare the most than any other mayorin city history.During both his tenures, Hol-comb attracted the Western Re-gional headquarters of LittleLeague baseball, remodeled ashopping mall, while constructinganother, and was responsible forthe creation of another CaliforniaState University campus. In addi-tion, San Bernardino was namedan All-America City in 1977 under

his leadership.Bob Holcomb loved this citymore than anyone, said theevents special guest speaker Wil-frid C. Lemann. Holcomb, born on March 1,1922, has extensive roots to SanBernardino. His great-grandfather,William Frances Holcomb, dis-covered gold in an area near BigBear (now known as HolcombValley).After graduating from SanBernardino High School in 1940,Holcomb enlisted in the U.S.Army in 1942--serving in the AirCorps during the European The-atre of World War II as a B-17 pilotwith the 412th Bomb Squadron,95th Bomb Group. He was honor-ably discharged in 1945. There-after, he went on to receive aBachelors Degree in Law at UCBerkeley and a law degree fromUC Hastings College in 1950.Before his long tenure as mayor,Holcomb led a campaign againstthe Metropolitan Water District ofLos Angeles (MWD) who wasseeking a merger with the SanBernardino Valley Water Districtback in 1964. Bob did the single most impor-

tant thing for our community andthat was keeping us of the Metro-politan Water District, Lemannsaid. All of you who have beensupporters of the Bob Holcomband the community, we thankyou.It is indeed an honor to be herecelebrating the dedication withyou, said current mayor CareyDavis. Families certainly are thebuilding blocks of our community.We are grateful for the Holcombsfor the example they provided toour city.Marsden, who arrived in SanBernardino three years ago, waseducated on Holcombs legacy byGrice and SBCUSD board mem-ber Margaret Hill. He believes thecurrent generation of leaders canreplicate Holcombs values to im-prove the city.Today is a symbolic time, hesaid. As in the 1970s, today theleaders of our community are get-ting together to make SanBernardino great again. This is thetype of work I heard Bob was allabout; building leaders and trans-forming a vision into a physical re-ality.

Support the Library:Kudos to the San BernardinoCity Library Foundation that hasnot sat idly by during the bank-ruptcy process the city is goingthrough. Instead the group is en-gaged in supporting the city librarysystem by raising funding to re-place the existing ancient comput-ers and servers that are incontinual use by library patrons.The Foundation's FundraisingCommittee has two events plannedto garner funds. One is a dinnerevening at the Mexico Cafe fromwhich the Foundation will receivea percentage of all dinners sold tothose supporting the cause. Theother is a Walk-A-Thon scheduledfor this fall on Saturday, October10. As one who loves to read, I ameternally grateful for the library onNinth Street where I could checkout books my family could not af-ford to buy; where I discoveredthere was a world beyond my fam-ily and neighborhood that I couldexplore by reading the stories ofdifferent people, cultures, andplaces. And today children andadults have the opportunity tolearn, explore and research notonly through books but alsothrough the technology of the In-ternet. A well-supported public li-brary is essential to an educatedand healthy city.

Paying for college may soonbecome easier -- especiallyfor low-income students.President Obama just issued aStudent Aid Bill of Rights that or-ders the federal government tofind ways to help students repaytheir loans. The presidential direc-tive will also hold those that serv-ice federal loans to higherstandards.The Bill of Rights is the latest inthe president's campaign to makecollege more affordable. But theobstacles low-income studentsface as they pursue college are notjust financial. They also facesteeper social, emotional, and ad-ministrative hurdles than theirpeers. Colleges and universities them-selves must do more to helpyoung, disadvantaged Americansovercome those hurdles -- andthereby secure the full benefits ofhigher educationA college degree has never beenmore valuable -- particularly forstudents of modest means. Whenthose born into the lowest eco-nomic quintile obtain a degree,they triple their chances of as-cending to the top two quintiles.Unfortunately, institutes ofhigher learning aren't reachingfolks at the bottom of the incomeladder. Only 50 percent of kidsfrom low-income families enrollin college. Even fewer graduate.Just one in four college freshmenfrom the lower half of the incomedistribution earns a bachelor's de-gree by age 24.Minorities face a similar gradua-tion gap. Just 40 percent of blacksand 51 percent of Hispanics earntheir degree within 6 years -- com-pared to 62 percent of whites.The cost of college is one reasonwhy. But there's more to the storythan that. Low-income, minority,and first-generation college stu-dents -- as well as their families --often lack the information andguidance needed to thrive in col-lege.

That's something that collegesand universities can address.At Mercy College, the school Ilead outside New York City, we'veimplemented an aggressive coun-seling program called PACT toserve the 74 percent of our fresh-men who come from low-incomefamilies. PACT also caters to ourAfrican-American and Latinopopulations -- each of whom com-prises one-third of our studentbody.The program pairs students withmentors who assist them with theacademic, financial, and emotionalchallenges college poses. Studentshave grown to depend on thesepeer counselors to help them dealwith everything from stress overfinal exams to trouble communi-cating with their families. Mentorsalso have access to real-time dataon their students' academic per-formance. So they can intervene iftheir mentees are struggling.Although the program is new, ithas delivered impressive results.Participants persist toward theirdegrees at a rate 14 percent higherthan non-participants. The five-year graduation rate is up 20 per-cent -- a significant improvementby the standards of higher educa-tion. Other universities have adoptedsimilar programs. The Universityof Texas recently started "U.T.Mindset" to bolster the confidenceof incoming freshmen from histor-ically underrepresented groups.After participating in the program,many black, Latino, and first-gen-eration students reported that theyhad overcome feelings that they"didn't belong" or "weren't smartenough." Among U.T. Mindset's alums, 86percent completed at least 12 cred-its after their first semester. That'san impressive 5 percent bump inachievement relative to previousyears. These programs are cutting costsfor students and institutions alike.They reduce the need for remedia-tion and push students towardgraduation. That's crucial, becausethe longer it takes for them tograduate, the more likely that lifeintervenes and throws them offtrack.Mentoring programs like those atMercy and Texas won't eliminateall the challenges that confrontlow-income and minority students.But they're making an impact --and can help colleges and univer-sities fulfill their duty to educateAmerica's best and brightest, ad-vantaged and disadvantaged alike.

Researching lack of water inSan Bernardino

Dianne Klein, media relations di-rector for University of Califor-nias central office, is quoted assaying, Theres been no huge in-flux of students from countrieswhere anti-Semitism is officialpolicy.

Her reference to official policyis curious, and we would do wellto examine it closely.

According to Thomas Elias, Be-tween 2001 and 2013, the numberof UC graduate students from Iran where a mantra in publicschools reportedly has students

daily reciting Death to America,Death to Israel! rose from sixto 113.

Focusing on whether or not aspecific expression is official pol-icy of a country or a campus de-flects away from consideration ofwhether there could be misinter-pretation of a country or a uni-versitys viewpoint.

Perhaps chants of Death toAmerica, Death to Israel are as-pirational rather than official pol-icy of another country, but some ofthe students who study at the UC

campuses might not see things thatway.

The goal of such words, whetheror not they are official policy ofthe country of origin of our stu-dent-guests, is to create uglinesson our campuses, such as thefrightening upsurge of anti-Semi-tism on campuses like Berkeley,Davis, UCLA and Riverside, asnoted by Elias.

Julia Lutch,Davis

Anti-semitic activity createstension on campus

If you want to do some inves-tigative reporting on our lack ofwater here in San Bernardino, youmight consider getting in touchwith Susan Longville, a boardmember of the San BernardinoValley Municipal Water District inHighland. She can tell you howmany millions of gallons of our

underground water we have soldto other cities which has left ushere in San Bernardino high anddry and doing water-rationing.

I remember when we had somuch underground water that itwas bubbling up under the build-ings downtown. I consider this

whole action a huge sell-out of ourresources to line someones pock-ets. Who got the money from allthat water? Certainly not bankruptSan Bernardino.

Martha Young,San Bernardino

An eye for an eye: Death penalty isjustified

Now that the Boston Marathonbomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hasbeen sentenced to death, surely a

regenerated debate over capitalpunishment will occur. ManyAmericans still believe that it isntright for a civilized society to putsomeone to death as an appropri-ate punishment for the heinouscrime of murder.

And they continue to be sowrong. Simply put, in a worldwhere human life should be held

in the highest esteem, those indi-viduals who disagree with that factand are then proven to have killed,should immediately lose theirright to be a part of this civilizedsociety.

SanBAG needs to be restrainedfrom proposing any more whiteelephants in San BernardinoCounty. Sustainable developmentmay sound good, but it is certainlynot sustainable for the taxpayersof our area.

sbX in San Bernardino was anovel experiment, but with itsvery low ridership and $188 mil-lion cost, it does not seem logical

to expand the concept to citiessuch as Fontana and Ontario.

People want the flexibility totravel from Point A to Point B atany time they want. That is whypeople drive cars, and that is whyCalifornia is an automobile-cen-tric state. We do not want the Red-lands Passenger Rail project orsbX expanded; there are alterna-tive ways to do those projects

without spending money of futuregenerations.

We need to stop the sustainabledevelopment money from thesource in Washington, D.C.

Words to Think About:Ensenada, Mexico

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

Afew words about Ense-nada, Mexico. It is thethird largest city in theBaja California Peninsula. Lying78 miles south of San Diego, it isaffectionately referred to as TheCinderella of the Pacific.When the Portuguese explorer

Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo firstreached the area, only the YumanIndians were the inhabitants. As ofthe census of 2010, the city of En-senada had a population of466,814. With normal growth itwould be well over 500,000 today.The city was founded September17, 1592, under the name SanMatea. In 1602 it was renamed En-senada de Godos Santos by Sebas-tian Vizceaino.Then came the Jesuits in the 17thand 18th centuries. They were ex-pelled in 1768, and were suc-ceeded by the Dominicans. JoseManuel Ruiz Carilto was ap-pointed Governor until 1800.William Walker declared himselfpresident of Baja in 1853. By thenEnsenada had a population of5,000. In the early 1900s thename was shortened to just Ense-nada.The Port of Ensenada is an im-

portant commercial fishing andtourist port. Deep sea commercialfishing is a major industry. Theyeven compete with other countrieslike Japan for the shrimp market.

Several cruise ships include En-senada on their itinerary. It is amust stop for the 3 and 4 daycruises.The wine industry is a growingbusiness, especially in recentyears. In spite of the fact that PadreJuan de Ugarte planted the firstvineyard there in 1703.The city is also the home to anavy base, army base and the En-senada Airport.The weather makes a drawing

card for many Mexicans and othernationalities, in particular Ameri-cans. For instance many schoolteachers from San Bernardinohave Summer homes in nearbysuburbs. The rainy season is shortand the Mediterranean latitude cre-ates mild temperatures year round.For visitors, especially from thecruise ships, there are several pop-ular excursions. Probably the mostpopular is a visit to La Bufadoraotherwise known as the blowhole.When I first visited there fortyyears ago it was at the end of a dirtroad. It is a natural geyser that isforced through a rock channel,propelled by a strong tide. Theforce spews sea water several feetinto the air. A flea market atmos-phere prevailed back then withsellers marketing their productsalong the dirt tracks.Things are different today. Theroad is paved, stores are modern,food is abundant, and you pay tosee La Bufadora.City tours, winery visits, horse-

back riding, deep sea fishing, lob-ster feasts and shopping abounds.Everything is for sale. I cannotomit the world famous bar Papasand Beer. It was made famousback in the hippy days when Ense-nada was the wildest, fun-lovingvillage south of Tijuana. Booze,women and a weak police forcewas the attraction. Some of that isstill in abundance.All of the preceding informationis but the prelude to Stella and myweek-end cruise aboard the Carni-val Inspiration. Otherwise knownas the BOOZE CRUISE. It wasbuilt in 1996 in Helsinki, Finland

at a cost of $270 million. It is reg-istered today in Panama and Nas-sau, Bahamas.It is 855 feet long and 103 feetwide; with 14 decks and speed of24 mph. There is passenger capac-ity of 3,450 and a crew of 920. Theofficers seem to have Italian namesand the crew were predominantlyfrom the Philippines, Indonesia,India, Macedonia and Jamaica.A few passengers were from

Australia, Canada, and Mexico,but the vast majority were from theUSA. Of the 131 cruises Ive beenon, the vast number of passengerswere seniors. On this one-number131- they were 20-30 year olds.The seniors always carried a book;this one they always had a beer intheir hand.They moved in gangs of 5-12 innumber. The hundreds of youngpeople wore skimpy clothes-espe-cially the girls. The men wore cut-offs with open shirts, showingtheir muscles and tattoos. Scream-ing, yelling, and arguing until 3:00AM in the morning was the norm.Many were drunk and sex was ob-vious. It was the BOOZECRUISE.The dcor of the ship was pureLas Vegas. Small eating tables thatheld only drinks, dark and lowlights in the restaurants-the mainone was named Mardi Grasveryappropriate. The nightly newssheet was named Fun Time.Why did we go on it? Im con-fined to a walker. I wanted to seeif I could make it ina small, non-handicap room. Icannot. The rooms are too smalland the facilities too limited.My overall impression was that

the ship was not senior friendly;programs, foods and activity wise.Except for the staff. They were allfriendly and helpful. For example:they got us better lighting, a stoolfor the shower, turned off the A/Cand provided a wheelchair to getme on and off the ship.I concede that the Booze Cruiseis for the young. Go again? Proba-bly not.Amen. Selah. So be it.

A Beneficial Encounter to Help the CommunityHelps an Asthmatic Family

In early January 2015, the Co-ordinated Asthma Referraland Education (CARE) Pro-gram of the San BernardinoCounty Department of PublicHealth and the Inland EmpireAsthma Coalition (IEAC, were inthe midst of organizing theHealthy Homes and Asthma Train-ing for the Inland Empire. Sinceboth organizations rely heavily oncommunity support, the staff hadto conduct fundraising and requestdonations from different foodcompanies such as Food 4 Lessand Stater Bros.On one fortuitous encounter, thestaff visited Food 4 Less and re-

quested a donation for a gift card.Stephanie M., the store manager,read our donation request and im-mediately said that she was excitedto help. Her young son Isaiah wasdiagnosed with asthma at one yearof age and she was eager to helpwith our training. The staff talkedto her about our asthma home vis-itation program and called her upimmediately to enroll her son intothe CARE program. The CARE Program conductedthe initial home visit in the middleof January, and during the initialhome visit, they noticed that Isaiahscored a 12 on the Asthma ControlTest, a very low score, indicated

that his asthma was not under con-trol. The staff found out that hewas not taking a daily, asthma con-trol medication to prevent inflam-mation of his airways. The CAREstaff went over the proper use ofmedications with the family, con-ducted an environmental assess-ment of the house, and providedhealth education and asthma sup-plies such as an air purifier, non-toxic cleaning supplies, mattressand pillow encasings, and spacerwith mask to the family. They alsoreferred Isaiah to the ARMCBreathmobile to get asthma andallergy testing done, get propermedications for his asthma symp-

toms, and get an Asthma ActionPlan (AAP). They also encouragedthat Isaiah get an annual flu shot inthe fall, since asthmatic childrenare at very high risk for complica-tions if exposed to a respiratory fluvirus.Several weeks later, the CAREstaff visited Stephanie M. at herstore to give her and Food 4 Lessa thank you letter. She stated thatbecause of our chance encounter,her son was doing much better andhis asthma was under control sinceenrolling into the CARE Program.She had also taken him to theARMC Breathmobile and hewas now on a different asthma

management medication to controlhis respiratory inflammation,which now allows him to breathebetter. She stated, I am so gratefulthat we met and I heard about yourprogram and the ARMC Breath-mobile .The Air Quality ManagementDistrict (AQMD) provides thegrant for the CARE staff to con-duct community outreach and helpfamilies and their children managetheir asthma on a daily basis. Tosign up for the CARE Program andfor more info about other asthmaresources in the community, pleasecall us at 1-800-782-4264, Mon-day-Friday, 8-5 pm, for assistance.

San Bernardino Valley College student partnerswith Symphony for an artistic project

The San Bernardino Sym-phony has once again part-nered with San BernardinoValley College for a creative ex-pression of art. But unlike lastyears project a concert to cele-brate the opening of their refur-bished concert hall this yearseffort will focus on the regionsyoungest music lovers.Professor Judy Jorgenson Zak ofthe Architecture and Environmen-tal Design Department explains.One of my first semester archi-tecture students, Jeremy Noble,asked for a special project and Isuggested an educational coloringbook. This project has becomemuch more, though, both becauseof his interest in local historical ar-chitecture and my awareness of theSymphonys efforts to providemusic enrichment programs forlocal youth.

The activity book as it is nowbeing called is based upon designabstractions of the Symphonysprincipal performance venue, thehistoric California Theatre of thePerforming Arts in downtown SanBernardino. The book will also in-clude complete-able drawings ofmusic instruments, members of theorchestra, and Symphony MaestroFrank Fetta, well known for hisdistinctive long white hair andeclectic style.Maestro Fetta is a brand untohimself, added Symphony Exec-utive Director Dr. Anne Viricel.Wherever and whenever we per-form, people comment on his en-thusiastic, interactive style thatsimply draws in an audience.Aside from the impeccable qualityof the orchestra, his uncommonapproachability keeps audiencescoming back concert after con-cert.Zak, who regularly encouragesher students to attend Symphonyevents at the Theatre, is particu-larly excited about the project.I knew Jeremy was special with

his first project. I asked students tocreate a pneumonic design to helpthem remember each othersnames. They were to start withtheir name, develop that into aphrase, then developed that into avisual the size of a CD cover. Je-remys was Jeremy Noble has aproposal and showed a handwith a large engagement ring. Ofcourse, now his proposal is to puttogether a book for student out-reach and his original proposal willbe memorialized on the back cor-ner of the coloring book.I came to her with a request formore for my portfolio and sheknew this would be a good exer-cise for me to put all that together,

said Noble, humbly discussing theorigins of his first foray into com-mercial art. I have done all themedia for a wedding from invita-tions, wine labels, an edited video,etc., but this is the first time I willhave done something to inspireyouth. Its a rather daunting proj-ect.Nobles goal is to attend Cal PolySan Luis Obispo School of Archi-tecture and Design, then pursue ar-chitecture as a career, but heskeeping his options open.Architecture is a broad topic,but my ambition is to have a jobthat allows for a balance betweencreating a building and managingits quality.He is also studying general edu-cation, and particularly enjoyinghis physics, calculus, and politicalscience courses. He will completedhis General Education require-ments this Fall, then focus onclasses beneficial to his career.I like the opportunity to shapesomething with my hands. I likethings people can hold and touchand see the craftsmanship associ-ated with it, said Noble, the firstperson in his immediate family toearn a four-year degree. Hismother works for the Health De-partment at Loma Linda and is co-owner, with his father, of a tutoringbusiness.But I think theyd prefer if Iwent into construction manage-ment, added Noble.Zak regards the project throughthe eyes of a proud professor:This is something Jeremy will beable to develop as a part of hisportfolio. He has a good clearstrong direction of his educationaland professional path.Printing for the first 500 bookshas already been secured through

Shawn Guyett at The HaniganCompany of Riverside, one ofZaks past students from NorcoCommunity College. Guyett willbe dedicating all of the labor andtechnical skills necessary for set upand printing, and the HaniganCompany will be sponsoring all ofthe materials and the shop space tosupport the project. Still, more funding is needed toreach the partnerships distributiongoal of 5,000 books for studentsinvolved in the Symphonys year-round music enrichment projects.The last page, it has been decided,will be reserved for autographs ofthe Symphony performers whostudents meet at the post-concertreceptions.Id like to separate the differentelements of the building into indi-vidual pages, said Noble. I wantit to be an educational experiencewhere the student is asked ques-tions about what they are seeingand feeling from each picture. Ialso want to highlight the variousarchitectural features such as a curlor flourish so the children canlearn about the building as theycolor.Zak has long been involved inlocal education, teaching at SanBernardino Valley College sincejust two days after her own gradu-ation in 1977. She taught part timeuntil seven years ago when shewas brought on fulltime. She has

also worked for several local citiesand architecture firms, and hasbeen an architectural consultant fornew development.Nobles ultimate hope: I hope itwill give kids a better understand-ing of the orchestra and the build-ing. Its hard for children tovisualize the nuances of what theysee. I want them to be able to getfiner arts perspective on theworld.For more information about theactivity book, contact SymphonyExecutive Director Dr. Anne Viri-cel at (909) 381-5388.

Zoe Casas breaks state all-time softball hitrecord one week after receiving Hubbs Award

By Harvey M. Kahn

Zoe Casas became Califor-nia's all-time softball hitleader in mid-may whenshe collected her 247th safety. Halfthat hit total is considered an ex-cellent high school career. TheAquinas High School senior is atwo-time Maxpreps All American,the Sun and CIF-Division Playerof the Year and three-time Ambas-sador League MVP. She cappedthose honors by being named herschool's Ken Hubbs Award winner.Casas will play softball at FloridaState University on scholarshipnext season and study sports man-agement or orthodontics. She willleave for Tallahassee on June 18 tobegin summer school.

Despite being a statewidename in the sport of high schooland travel team softball, Casaspoints out that it wasn't just hardwork on the softball diamond thathelped earn her such success. Justas important, it was based on thecommunity service she provided atthe Montecito Mortuary Chapeland the Perris Hill Senior Center.Casas says it was her job to simply

arrange flowers and open the doorfor guests, yet it would often de-velop into more.

"I'm actually a shy person.

Doing the community servicehelped me learn to talk to others,"said Casas. "People would tell mewhat they wished they would have

done when they were younger. Itwas so sad. I started to think that itcould be me someday telling thosestories. It put things into perspec-tive and made me appreciate whatI have."

Casas also credits her grand-father, a former Marine who taughther to be respectful. His lessonshave come in handy. "My friendsand teachers come up to me atschool and say congratulations, butI don't really like all the spotlight.My family taught me to be happyfor the great things that other peo-ple accomplish. They've taught meto be disciplined." Her sister,Chelsea was also a four-year All-CIF player at Aquinas. They wereteammates when Zoe was a fresh-man. Chelsea is studying at Uni-versity of San Francisco but nolonger plays softball. Chelseaplayed second base. Zoe is a lefthanded outfielder.

Casas says she sees many po-tential good athletes on campuswho aren't taking advantage oftheir skills. "It's just not in their de-sire, that's all. Of course softballcuts into my time in high schoolbut I love playing softball. That'smy drive. I love taking batting les-

sons. I've set my standards for thefuture." Casas already knows thatsoftball probably won't be forever.

As a member of the CoronaAngels travel team, Casas' teamswon three different national cham-pionships and three straight ASAnational titles. She helped leadAquinas to the 2013 CIF-Division5 championship and to four Am-bassador League championships.

Speaking on the phone beforeAquinas' CIF playoff game atOcean View High on May 27,Casas said Aquinas coach ChrisYbarra will hold a team workouton Memorial Day. The next morn-ing before leaving for the playoffgame Casas must take two finalexams. One in art, the other in pre-calculus. "Athletes get no specialacademic privileges," she said.

Casas feels it's a fact of lifethat girls playing softball have fewopportunities after high school."There's no longer even anOlympic softball team. I don't un-derstand. If people would justwatch softball and give it a chance,they would see that it's not thateasy to play. Girls do realize thatwe must prepare for life withoutsoftball."

Citrus Valley High Hubbs winnerJordyn Smith continues family tradition

By Harvey M. Kahn

Jordyn Smith filled in themost recent part of a largefamily circle by earning theKen Hubbs Award at Citrus ValleyHigh School. Smith was selectedfrom about 250 other girls at CVH.Nationally known Margaux Jones

was the overall Hubbs winnerpicked from a pool of girl athletesfrom 25 schools in the greater SanBernardino area.

Jordyn Smith was a standouton the softball team and a top-10finisher in the Citrus Belt Leagueas a golfer. It was Smith's specialachievements that separated herfrom the rest, topped by being

elected class president three yearsand maintaining a A+ GPA all fouryears of high school while takingadvanced placement courses.Smith will play softball at the Uni-versity of Redlands next year butit was academics that earned herthe scholarship.

Smith joined her father, Scottwho was the Ken Hubbs Awardoverall winner in 1984 out of SanBernardino High School. ScottSmith was the CIF golf championand All-CBL point guard for coachScott Kay. The Smith's are the firstfather/daughter team to win theHubbs Award. Ron Lott and hisson, Ryan Nece were the only fa-ther and offspring to win theHubbs Award outright. JordanSmith said she and her father didhave prior discussions about theaward. Since the Hubbs Awardwas founded in 1965, at least oneof the Smith's has been involved inlocal sports, either as a coach,player or referee.

"When I first learned that mydad won the Hubbs Award, I de-cided I wanted to get it, too. Ipushed myself," declared JordynSmith. In February, she was namedCVH's winner of the Wendy'sHigh School Heisman Award, anational honor associated with theHeisman Memorial Trophy. Witha resume full of verified local,state and national honor roles, shewon an additional scholarshipfrom the Northside Impact Com-mittee of Redlands.

Scott Smith feels it's currentlyharder to win a Hubbs Award thanit was 30 years ago. He says manyhigh school coaches don't wanttheir athletes to play other sports,but he pointed out that Ken Hubbsexcelled in four. "There weremany dedicated athletes who weregood students in 1984, yet thestandards are now higher to win

the Hubbs Award. The demandsnow are endless. You have to per-form more community service.You must have the whole pack-age," said Scott Smith.Scott Smith coached basketball

at Pacific and Arroyo Valley for atotal of 14 years. At Pacific, hecoached overall Hubbs winnersMaugaula Tuetele, Joe Weber andRyan Nece. Among his coachingwins at Pacific was one that endedMater Dei's 36-game win streak.At Arroyo Valley, he led them to awin over San Joaquin MemorialHigh who had future NBA playersBrook and Robin Lopez andQuincy Poindexter.

Unlike the days when her fa-ther won the Hubbs, Jordyn Smithtold of school days that begin at5:30 a.m., end at 11 p.m., with a

4:45 a.m. wakeup the next morn-ing. Especially when it's time tocoordinate school events in therole of senior class president. Thenthere's softball practice. In be-tween, she allocates time to thecampus Builders Club which shefounded to provide communityservice.

"I have learned the importanceof time management. I want tosucceed, that means I must dedi-cate myself," said Jordyn Smith."It's hard at times. My friends wantme to go with them on Fridaynights but I can't. I'm doing home-work in any open time." She saysother students ask for her adviceand she enjoys tutoring them. Shewill major in speech disorders atU. of Redlands.

Titans survive first round with rally in 7th

By Richard Dawson

Grand Terraces softballteam made a habit ofwinning big duringleague, earning a No. 1 seed in theprocess, but it needed a rally in thebottom of the seventh to edgePalos Verde Peninsula 2-1 duringthe CIF-SS Division 3 first-roundplayoff game at Grand TerraceHigh School on Thursday, May 21. Down to their last three outs the

Titans found themselves in an un-common place trailing 1-0. Thatchanged quickly as four-straighthits to start the inning culminatedwith a walk-off single by AlyssaMartinez and a dramatic come-from-behind win. Grand Terrace (23-3) advances to

the second round and will playIrvine Tesoro on Tuesday, May 26.Jocelyn Betancourt started the

rally with a hard-hit single to rightthat nearly got her thrown out atfirst. Morgan Parsons reached on an

infield single off the third base-mans glove, and Rita Garcia,pinch-running for Betancourt, ad-vanced to third after an errantthrow to first by the short stop. Danielle Rico and Martinez fol-

lowed with back-to-back singlesup the middle for the tying and go-ahead run.The high-powered offense was

held in check most of the game byPeninsula pitcher Jessica Hay, whoretired eight-consecutive Titanshitters heading into the seventh. She was moving the ball in and

out, said Grand Terrace HeadCoach Bobby Flores. She did agood job of not letting us square upon the ball. The Titans had a run taken away

in the first after a single by DestiniPeck appeared to score Eliyah Flo-res, who doubled with one-out, butFlores was called out for nottouching third base. Peninsula (18-14) looked poised

to score in the top of the seventhafter a double and stolen base bySoraya Shahbazian put her at thirdwith one out. The Panthers tried a squeeze-play

but the pitch was high and HannahLyons couldnt make contact.Shahbazian was hung out to dryand tagged out by Betancourt inthe run-down.This win will help these girls

understand that anybody can beatyou and everybody is going to betough going forward, said Flores.

Shahbazian scored Peninsulaslone run in the fourth with a sac-fly.

San Bernardino Valley College PoliceAcademy Runs in the Mud

There are two things abouta mud run that make it anideal training exercise forlaw enforcement trainees. One, itis an extremely rigorous test of fit-ness. Running on solid surfacesthat provide pretty decent tractionis one thing, but running ormoreaccuratelyslipping and slidingon an uneven, sloping track thathas been turned into a sloppy,mushy mess of mud is quite an-other.And the mud run is a team sport,so in addition to a test of fitness, itis a test of teamwork. Running inthe mud alone is not enough, onemust also sing cadence while run-ning and not get out of synch withones fellow cadets!This was the third year for theSBVC Extended Academy mudrun and class #34 proved itself upto the task. The extended academystudents are people who cannot af-ford to give up their day job whiletraining for a law enforcement ca-reer. Instead, they attend eveningsand weekends for 52 weeksovertwice as long as the Basic Acad-emy. Also, unlike most cadets inthe basic group, these are people

who have not yet been provision-ally hired by a law enforcement or-ganization. That said, graduates of the Ex-tended Academy are Peace Officer

Standards and Training (POST)certified following graduation, sothey qualify to pursue openings inthe field.PHOTO COURTESY
