He suffered from pneumonia, according to a public statement issued by his family. During the July 3 Riverside Concert for Heroes, Michael Goldware, emcee of the annual event, memorialized Zamperini’s incredible story of survival as a WWII captive after the plane he was flying, a B-24, malfunctioned during a rescue mission and crashed into the Pacific, killing eight of the 11 men on board. This story gained national attention in 2010, after author Laura Hillenbrand published “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption,” the biography which detailed vividly Zamperini’s plight as a captive of the Japanese during WWII. Zamperini was an Olympic track star who set the national scholastic mile during his high school years at 4 minutes 21 seconds before attending USC, where he competed in track and went on to compete in the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. Zamperini qualified for the 5,000 meter run, a race he’d never run before. Zamperini finished in 8th place. Goldware told this anecdote, which elicited laughter and applause from the audience: “Now, when he wasn’t running track at the ’36 games, he was climbing a flagpole, and he stole the personal flag of Adolf Hitler.” In 1938, Zamperini returned to his college running career and set the national collegiate mile record at 4 minutes and 8 seconds even. “He was widely regarded as the one most likely to break the four minute barrier and the one most likely to do it at the 1940 Olympics,” said Goldware. The 1940 Olympics, due to WWII, never took place. Zamperini enlisted in the Army Air Corps in his early 20s, just after the United States entered WWII. In the spring of 1943, Zamperini, a bombardier, and two of his comrades survived the crash of their B-24; Zamperini, the co-pilot, 2nd Lt. Russell Phillips, and the tail gunner, Sgt. Francis McNamara, were the only three of the original 11 men flying the mission who survived the crash. Stranded for weeks, the men shared a raft and subsisted on rainwater and what little food they could catch. “Their survival depended upon their ability to collect rainwater, to grab albatrosses with their bare hands, to live off the raw flesh of those albatrosses, to use the innards of the albatrosses as bait, to fight off sharks, and on a couple of occasions, to survive strafing runs by Japanese bombers,” Goldware explained. Miraculously, none of the three men were injured in these strafing attempts, though the raft was battered. After 33 days at sea, McNamara died. Zamperini’s parents were delivered with a Notice of Death at their Torrence home in June 1944 signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, though Zamperini remained alive. After 47 days adrift, Zamperini and Phillips reached land some 850 miles west of Oahu, where they were taken captive by the Japanese. “Zamperini underwent substantial brutal and savage torment and torture by his captors, including one that Gen. MacArthur had on the top 40 people to get and try for war crimes following WWII,” Goldware said. That captor was Mutsuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe, an Imperial Japanese Army sergeant in WWII who took a special interest in Zampirini for the fact that Zampirini was a legend to the villagers of Đfuna, Japan. Zamperini remained a captive of the Japanese for two years before he was liberated, along with hundreds of other prisoners of war, at the war’s end in 1945. Zamperini, who married his wife Cynthia in 1946 after he returned home and to whom he remained married until her death in 2001, found peace in religion and later became a Christian inspirational speaker. On the fifth anniversary of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1946, Torrence Airport in his hometown, was renamed Zamperini Field in his honor. He wrote two memoirs about his experiences; the first, “Devil at my Heels: The Story of Louis Zamperini,” was written with Helen Itria and published in 1956. The second, “Devil at my Heels: A World War II Hero’s Epic Saga of Torment, Survival and Forgiveness” was Welcome to ALICE'S Breakfast Special: 2 Pancakes, 2 Eggs, 2 Bacon or Sausage Only $4.50 Where locals gather . . . for great food!

Jefferson, San Bernardino, CA 92407 • 909-381-2014 written with David Rensin and published in 2003. Hillenbrand’s 2010 book retold Zamperini’s story through his point of view as well as those of his friends, fellow airmen, Japanese camp officials, and his family. It was a New York Times #1 Bestseller and was named by TIME Magazine as the top nonfiction book of 2010. Recently, Universal Pictures purchased the right to Hillenbrand’s biography. Directed by Angelina Jolie and starring Jack O’Connell as Zamperini, the film is scheduled for release this coming December. He was the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, a Purple Heart, an Air Medal, a Presidential Unit Citation, a Prisoner of War Medal, an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, a World War II Victory Medal and a Philippine Liberation Medal. The New York Times reported that Zamperini is survived by his son, Luke, his daughter, Cynthia Garris, and a grandchild.

Since his death, Zamperini, who was chosen to act as the Grand Marshal of the 2015 Tournament of Roses (he is pictured above at the announcement) has been honored across the nation. One of those memorials took place at the Riverside National Cemetery during the annual Concert for Heroes’ Prisoner of War Memorial segment.

Determination. Drive. Delivery. It was upon these four principals that Linda Smith, founder and CEO of Four-D College, built California’s only African Americanowned and fully accredited vocational career college licensed to teach vocational nursing programs and other allied health in 1992. In the 22 years since Smith established the school, it has expanded to include two Inland Empire locations (in Colton and in Victorville in the High Desert); a multi-ethnic faculty, staff and students; and over 10,000 graduates who have established careers in vocational nursing and other medical fields. Smith explained that while the journey to open her vocational school was, at times, difficult “beyond anyone’s imagination,” it is a school that was built upon deep faith and selfconviction. Smith, who was involved in writing and developing Four-D College’s programs, recalled being warned of failure. “When I went to meet with my contact at the board, she actually looked at me and told me, ‘Many have been here before you, but no one has been successful.’ And I said, ‘You have not met me.’” Determined to open a school that integrated faith-based principals, Smith faced plenty of opposition. “I said, ‘If God is not in (the college’s conceptual framework) I will not have a program, and I will have a program,” Smith shared. She was also steadfast on en- suring that students were learning quality material from their instructors; to satisfy this goal Smith implemented student evaluations conducted twice a year to concretely show the level of performance by the school’s faculty as well as the quality of their instruction. These evaluations are then reviewed by Smith and her faculty, and then filed with the Student Services Department. “When our accrediting agencies come through, we have valid information that we can provide on our services here,” Smith said. Her methods of business administration and her transparent honesty in everything she does have earned her recognition for over 20 years.

Over 10,000 students have received degrees in vocational nursing and other medical-related fields since it first opened in 1992.

Additionally, Four-D College has been the recipient of several Business of the Year awards by multiple Chambers of Commerce in the Inland Empire. Recently, Smith was appointed to the State Assistance Fund for Enterprise, Business and Industrial Development Corporation (SAFE-BIDCO) Board of Directors by Gov. Jerry Brown. In this capacity, Smith will help review applications from various small businesses requesting funding for development. Smith said, “One thing that I hope to be able to do is to divert funds to the Inland Empire for businesses that are requesting funding,” Smith said. “I would hope that my Answers from P. 5 fairness would… make sure that businesses in the southern California region are being reviewed and provided funding for their businesses.” Through her writing, Smith also imparts her wisdom to others. She has contributed to the book “Creating Value Through People: Discussions with Talent Leaders”; has authored her own books, “Love Letters to the Lord,” which gives a candid look at the struggles and triumphs of her first 10 years in business, both in her personal and professional life; has collaborated on the series “Conversation of Courage”; has contributed devotionals to “Zolife Devotionals”; and is open to the possibility of writing more books. Though Smith began her journey on her own—with no mentors, she enrolled at Cal Poly University to receive her teaching credential within a month of receiving her “calling” to open Four-D college –she has involved herself in the creation of every program written at the school and has enlisted the help of a knowledgeable board of directors to ensure Four-D remains as successful as it is. Soon, she will retire as CEO and will be succeeded by Aisha Thompson, who has previously served as Executive Director for Friends to Four-D College, the non-profit arm of the school. Her retirement as CEO isn’t a step away from the business; Smith will still be actively involved as president of the Board of Directors. She said of her journey, “It was a process of bringing all the fragments together to show that we are one, so when we say that we’re all children of God, regardless of our color, regardless of our beliefs, we are all children of God and we have to come from a sole premises of how we treat each other here, to create the culture that we want.

Classroom to Career exposes young women to a variety of career paths by giving them behind-the-scenes access to workplaces. The girls, ranging in ages from 10 to 17, toured the Sheriff’s Department headquarters learning about a career in law enforcement and the myriad employment opportunities offered by the department. The tour included visits to the Sheriff’s Office, Intelligence Division, Public Affairs, Homicide, Crimes Against Children, Volunteer Forces, Central Patrol Station and Employee Resources. Despite the wide ranging nature of the tour, two topics continued to resurface: education and online awareness. “There are a lot of oppor- tunities with our department,” Sheriff John McMahon told the girls as they visited his office. “The trick is to stay in school, graduate and be careful what you do on social media.” Knea Hawley, Director of Fund Development & Alumnae Engagement for the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio, arranged the tour because she wants the Girl Scouts to get more exposure to potential careers in order to make better informed decisions regarding their education and choices in life. “My vision is exposure to many different career paths in the local area--careers they may not know about or haven’t considered, because they are non-traditional occupations for women,” Hawley said. Women detectives from Homicide and Public Affairs addressed the group and answered questions about promotion and the hiring process. Sgt. Dana Foster, who heads the Crimes Against Children Division, also addressed the Girl Scouts. As the highest-ranking woman the girls came in contact with, Foster was asked some very pointed questions such as: “Have you encountered any PHOTO COURTESY OF: GSSGC The Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council stand with Sheriff John McMahon at the San Bernardino Sheriff ’s Department headquarters. troubles as a woman in such a male-dominated field?” asked 16-year-old Michaelind Ragsdale of Hemet. “As long as I have worked hard and done what I can to educate myself, I haven’t had any problems,” Foster answered. “You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to, as long as you work hard.” Contrary to popular belief, RBY Pinto 8 Red All-Stars Win Sectional Title BY: THOM SALISBURY COMMUNITY WRITER The RBY Pinto 8 Red AllStars took the PONY West Zone Southeast Sectional Championship in a decisive 113 victory over Coachella. Everybody played a great game. Pitching by Kade Finazzo, Bradley Gilbert and Tobias Mojica were terrific with exceptional catching by Dayton Thompson. The highlight of the day had to be the incredible double play run down started with Parker Blomquist’s great stop in right field and the ‘hot one’ shot to Cody Lemler at first, who drilled a rocket to Dan Summers at third cutting off the runner and pinning him in a 6 throw run down with Finazzo at shortstop.

Individuals may be evaluated and treated for a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions, including asthma, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and sexually transmitted infections. Patients may be eligible to receive financial assistance through Family Pact, Cancer Detection Program: Every Woman Counts, Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (CHDP), and Vaccine for Children (VFC) Program. the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department offers a number of opportunities for employment other than that of a deputy sheriff. The girls were introduced to unsworn career opportunities in the department such as crime analyst, high tech specialist, nurse, doctor, dispatcher, crime scene specialist, financial analyst, media liaison, photographer, web designer, computer programmer, and community outreach coordinator. Foster also warned the young women about potential predators on social media and various applications readily available on smartphones and tablets. The Crimes Against Children targets predators who use technology to identify vulnerable children and victimize them. The Sheriff’s Department treated the girls to lunch and members of the executive staff came and ate with the Girl Scouts. The interactions continued and the girls were able to see a side of law enforcement outside of a critical incident, criminal act or tragedy. They laughed, joked and networked while learning about hiring requirements and the importance of good decision making. The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department was the first tour in the “Classroom to Career” summer curriculum. The Girl Scouts will also visit the Rialto Fire Department, Macy’s, BNSF Railways and Fiesta Village as part of the program. Girl Scout alumnae will coach each girl and help them develop a portfolio for college applications and rèsumès. “This type of program is very important and we are more than happy to partner with the Girl Scouts to make it a reality,” McMahon said.

The emcee for the evening, Eric Gruenler, started the night off giving the audience a brief introduction, and welcoming everyone to the 63rd Annual Redlands Bowl Young Artists Auditions Winners Concert. He invited Jeff Waldron, the chairman of the board of Redlands Community Music Association and their executive director out on stage to give thanks to all the associates that helped make the night happen. “There are a lot of them and they are very, very hard working,” Jeff mentioned about his associates. “There are many threads to weave of the music festival... while they manage to have a good time while doing it, these ladies year in and year out, by themselves, raise between twenty to twenty-five percent of the total budget to e Mortos phoONLINE! from this event and many more on redlandscitynews.com put on the Summer Music Festival.” The performances began at around 8:15 p.m., starting out with a performance by Wenfang Han, a thirteen-year-old pianist. The spotlight then shined on eleven-year-old Matthew Yee, who played the violin. Melissa McCann, who is earning her Master of Fine Arts in vocal performance from UC Irvine, then sang Soprano. Then, Liam Glendening, a junior at Redlands High School, played two songs on the Trombone. Before a quick intermission, they announced each of the young artists, and handed them their scholarships. The Junior League (the younger musicians) received a $500 scholarship and the Senior League (the older musicians) received a $1,000 scholarship. After those announcements, and a quick intermission, the last three winners performed. The first to perform was Konrad Rudowicz, an accomplished violinist who is a native from Lodz, Poland. Then Emily Collins, who performed two songs singing Soprano. She holds both a Bachelor and a Master of Music right here from University of Redlands. Last but not least, Kyle Orth performed; he is a successful pianist who has “soloed with numerous professional orchestras.” The classical music brought the community together for a summer night and these talented young musicians received recognition for their talent and hard work.

The annual parade is hosted as a way to celebrate the Fourth of July as a community and bring awareness to the strong number of organizations throughout the community. The parade started off with trained men and women riding horses down the street. Followed by countless cars pulling f loats, all with their own unique twist and decorations. What they all had in common was their undeniable pride in representing the red, white and blue, and celebrating Independence Day. Trails of cars rode down the streets towing handmade constructions decorated with the red, white and blue streams, f lags, and color patterns. Cars passed by with American f lags hanging out of their back windows waving to the parade watchers. The Westside Steppers Drill Team and Drum Squad followed after in a beautiful show of bright purple uniforms, pompoms, and smiles. They performed their drill routine, which included a series of impressive steps and maneuvers, followed by their drum squad. The drum squad captivated the audience’s attention immediately. The parade watchers cheered and clapped as the drum team stepped dow n the streets.

Grace Cont. from P. 1 tain.” A concert that is as much a lesson in history and spirituality as it is a vibrant compilation of enlightening performances, “A Story of Grace” is true to its name. It shares several stories, paired with sweet and uplifting music, that shed light on the spiritual deficit that plagued Eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the eventual religious triumphs of individuals during the aftermath. Pastor Phil Metzger and the CC Budapest Orchestra have been traveling to perform the concert with the Packinghouse show being the third of a planned twenty-two. Pastor Phil of the Calvary Chapel Budapest, the force behind the performance, wanted to share the compilation of stories with an American audience. Together with a talented assortment of passionate Hungarian musicians and orchestra leader Mike Payne, he allows for an inspiring and enlightening performance to unfold before the audience. Anecdotal depictions of those behind the Iron Curtain are beautifully wound with music and commentary. Speaking about Eastern Europe, of which he has been a resident for almost two decades, Pastor Phil stated, “It was a place covered in darkness for so long. It was time for light.” It is this idea of light and a posing of the question, “What does Grace look like?” that defines the show.

Visit www.coleswildbird.com to learn more about types of bird feed. Faux pas No. 2 - Failing to keep guests safe Birds can be quite focused when they see feed they want. On the way to the feeder, birds can collide with windows, especially if the glass reflects the sky and trees or is very clean and clear. Window collisions can be devastating, and even fatal, for birds. The fix: Place feeders at least 30 feet from windows to avoid disorienting ref lections. If you don’t have that kind of room, place feeders just 1 to 3 feet from windows in order to prevent birds from building up enough momentum for a potentially fatal collision. Faux pas No. 3 - Tolerating uninvited guests Birds aren’t the only ones who love bird feed; squirrels are big fans of seeds and suet as well, and they’re experts at stealing seed from bird feeders. Left unchallenged, squirrels can drain feeders quickly, leaving nothing for the birds. They can also cause damage to feeders and frighten away more timid bird species. The fix: You wouldn’t attack a pesky neighbor who showed up uninvited at your backyard barbecue, and you don’t want to harm squirrels either - just dissuade them from bothering bird feeders. One option is to stock feeders with a product like Coles Hot Meats, a patented blend, which features sunf lower meats infused with habanero chilies. Birds can’t taste the heat, but squirrels sure hate it. Or, try distracting squirrels and other wildlife from bird feeders by serving them something even better, such as Critter Munchies. Faux pas No. 4 - Overlooking the importance of ambiance You hang streamers and balloons for a birthday party, and light graceful tapers for an intimate dinner party. Birds care about ambiance, too. Shrubbery and trees provide birds places to hide from predators. A yard that lacks cover is not an appealing dining destination for birds. The fix: Choose a calm, sunny location for feeders spots east or south of your house will probably provide the most protection from cold northern winds. Plant shrubs and trees, put up a fence or plant a hedge row to provide cover. Since you’ll have to refill your feeders daily, be sure their location is accessible and convenient. Faux pas No. 5 - Paper plates Would you invest time and money in preparing a gourmet meal only to serve it on paper plates? Of course not! Yet that’s comparable to how birds feel about a single feeder, a dirty feeder or one that doesn’t feature their preferred style of perch. The fix: Offer multiple styles of feeders to appeal to the broadest range of backyard birds. Tube feeders are a great, classic type of feeder that works for many different birds. Cole’s feeders have a “Quick Clean” feature that allows you to quickly, easily pop off the bottom for speedy cleaning. An open-bowl design feeder makes it easy to serve suet, nuts and mealworms. Hummingbird feeders allow you to serve the nectar that hummingbirds love. Fortunately, it’s easy to develop bird feeding etiquette. A few simple fixes will convince your feathered friends that your backyard is the destination of choice for discerning diners this season. Fabulous food, pretty presentation and attention to detail can earn you a reputation as an amazing host among your human guests. But when you serve your feathered friends, are you committing a feeding faux pas that you fear may prove unforgivable? PHOTO COURTESY OF: BPT Fabulous food, pretty presentation and attention to detail can earn you a reputation as an amazing host among your human guests. But when you serve your feathered friends, are you committing a feeding faux pas that you fear may prove unforgivable? Birds may be small, but they pack long memories into those little craniums, and they won’t soon forget if you serve the wrong food, make a bad feeder choice or allow uninvited squirrels in on the action. Certain feeding missteps, however, are fairly easy to fix. Faux pas No. 1 - Serving junk food You wouldn’t invite your friends over for a dinner party and serve them a bucket of take-out fried chicken, would you? Well, that’s essentially what you’re doing if you serve birds human food like bread, donuts or cookies, or stock feeders with seed mixes that are made up mostly of millet, other fillers or low-quality seeds. The fix: Fill feeders with quality options like Cole’s Suet Cakes, Dried Mealworms or premium seed blends. Suet and dried mealworms (less messy than live mealworms) provide muchneeded energy and fat, while quality seed blends incorporate only the seeds birds re- Is Teaching the Career for You? Teaching is an admirable profession, whether you’re helping kindergarteners learn to read or preparing high school students for life after graduation. If you’re looking for a fulfilling career, teaching could be a great option no matter how old or young you are. Are you meant to be a teacher? Genevieve Koens asked herself that same question. She was doing well working in business after she received her MBA. But when she got divorced, she realized she wanted to spend more time with her kids instead of working up to 60 hours a week at the office. She decided to attend Kaplan University and completed her Master of Arts in Teaching in just 13 months. Today, Koens works in a middle school STEM program - science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “We do a lot of team work, which kids absolutely adore,” she says. “When I know what they like, I’ll try to put it into the lesson plans.” Working at a low-income school allows her to feel like she’s making a big difference for children and helping shape their future. “I went from being a business person where my sole goal was to make money for me and my company, to being a service member where I help out kids and their families,” Koens says. Many states face an alarming shortage of STEM teachers, according to the American Board. If you have real-world experience in these subject areas, your skills could be in high demand as a teacher. What makes a good teacher? Here are five qualities that make teachers great. Do you embody these characteristics? Passion Great teachers are passionate about subject matter as well as helping students. Students typically respond well when they know a teacher is genuinely excited about what they teach. If you have a passion and the desire to pass on knowledge to others, teaching could be a good career for you. High expectations Great teachers set high expectations for all their students. Remember, you’re shaping knowledge and transforming lives. Make sure all students learn and succeed, and never give up on underperformers because they may be the ones that need you the most. Organized Preparing ahead of time and organizing lesson plans helps ensure every minute in the classroom can be dedicated to teaching and engaging students. If you are organized and like to plan ahead, these PHOTO COURTESY OF: BPT Teaching is an admirable profession, whether you’re helping kindergarteners learn to read or preparing high school students for life after graduation. skills will serve you well as a teacher. Flexible Planning ahead is necessary as a teacher, but great teachers always adapt and are flexible when needed. It’s important to recognize how students really learn, and follow their lead. Watch and listen to what kids are doing and saying, and be able to change plans in order to teach more effectively. Role model As a teacher, you are a top role model in your students’ lives. Act as such and show you genuinely care about their future. When you build trust you’ll be able to make the biggest difference. To be the best role model and teacher possible, be a lifelong learner. Always hone your craft by learning new technology and teaching methods to help better reach students. CITY NEWS • LIVING JULY 10, 2014 • PAGE 11 $5 Million Allocated to Lake Gregory The Board of Supervisors approved an additional $5 million to repair the earthen dam at Lake Gregory Regional Park bringing the total budget for the project up to $9 million. “We must make this investment to protect and preserve Lake Gregory so it can continue to serve as an outstanding recreational amenity that attracts visitors to our mountain communities,” San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chair and Second District Supervisor Janice Rutherford said. In 1986, the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) notified the County about possible seismic deficiencies in the earthen dam that formed Lake Gregory in the late 1930s. The County hired consultants to evaluate the dam and address the issues raised by the State. However, no action was taken to meet the requirements, and in February 2010, State officials ordered removal of flashboards from the dam’s spillway because of seismic concerns. The boards increased the water level by trapping runoff and were historically kept in place throughout the summer swim season. DSOD also notified the County that it had to repair de- Christina Milian’s Legacy Lives on through Christina Milian Inspirational Scholarships ficiencies in the dam that could make it susceptible to collapse following a major earthquake. In 2012, the Board of Supervisors set aside $4 million to fund in repairing the dam; however, officials determined that additional funding is necessary to complete repairs that will meet DSOD requirements. The County plans to use a buttress to stabilize the dam. This will require approvals from mul- tiple regulatory agencies and could be completed as soon as the fall of 2016. In addition to allocating funding to repair the dam, the Board of Supervisors also approved $50,000 to complete improvements to the southern entryway into the park. The improvements will make the entryway compliant with the Americans with the Disabilities Act.

Mike Morrell (left) and Highland City Council Member Penny Lilburn (right) present Highland resident Christina Milian (center) with a check for $6,000 to establish the “Christina Milian Inspirational Scholarship.” Milian is a six-year survivor of stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer who devotes her time to various organizations including the Inland Women Cancer Board and Stater Brothers Charities. BY: M ARGIE MILLER PUBLISHER /JOURNALIST A new scholarship aimed at benefiting female trade school students whose families have been affected by cancer was unveiled in the honor of breast cancer survivor Christina Milian during state Sen. Mike Morrell’s 10th annual Women of Distinction ceremony on June 20. The scholarship honors the legacy of six year survivor and Highland resident Christina Milian, who was diagnosed with inf lammatory breast cancer in June 2008. To date, $6,000 has been raised for this scholarship. Welcomed to the stage by a standing ovation, Milian, who continues to battle stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer, addressed the crowd of over 350 guests at the National Orange Show with a speech that left listeners teary-eyed yet inspired. “I believe God has put me on this journey to encourage, educate and share the ammunition it takes to conquer any illness, betrayal, prevention, a loss or any other issue that is preventing you from having the life you deserve,” she said. “That’s what brings us to this moment. Many of you are here to be honored for your good works, great work ethics in using your talents, skills and energy to better your community.” Milian described herself as a person who has “always been involved, ever since middle and high school.” For 30 years Milian has worked with the Assistance League of San Bernardino, which helps local children in need, serving in the past as its president and presiding as the chair over four Headdress Balls, one of the organization’s largest annual fundraising events. She has also lent her assistance in several other community organizations, such as Santa Claus, Inc. After her diagnosis, Milian’s community involvement and outreach extended further as she then began to reach out to other cancer survivors, patients and their families through her involvement in organizations like the Relay For Life and the Inland Women Fighting Cancer. ““I feel like, on my journey, I was meant to survive,” she said. “I really feel I’m meant to stay within my local community and that’s where, truly, my heart is right now: with Inland Women Fighting Cancer,” she said of the group, for which she helps fundraise for cancer research, awareness and support through the annual Believe Walk that takes place each October in downtown Redlands with the help of partner Stater Bros. Charities. “My sisters in Inland Women Fighting Cancer have taught me about hope and strength. They believe nobody should do this alone. They have been there for me every step of the way. I’ve learned it’s not about the victory. It’s about the battle.” Milian told the City News, “I believe this with all my heart, and I tell people: get help. We gain strength and inspiration from each other, because that’s what we put out. I have grown so much…and I am not saying it’s easy. It took me time to grow, but you can start with baby steps.” She is also an advocate of the Loma Linda Resource Center, which helps improve self-image, appearance and quality of life for women undergoing cancer treatment. Milian’s biggest piece of advice for anyone experiencing adversity, and not only those affected by cancer, is to “appreciate the beautiful things you do have. Constantly find joy in life. You have to live your life. Once you change your attitude, you can be so happy and joyful.” With her son, Michael, acting alongside Highland City Council Woman and past Woman of Distinction recipient Penny Lilburn as one of the hosts of the June 20 ceremony which honored 75 Inland Emipre women in the 23rd state district for their commitment to their communities, Milian’s son had the opportunity to present the scholarships in his mother’s namesake. “I feel like in all my speeches, I’m trying to put out there what won’t die, something that will live on, and now I think it will, because [the scholarship] is annual,” Milian said. She’s also focused on making memories with her family: her husband of 35 years, Art; her children, Michael and Jonathan; and her three grandchildren: Isaiah, 8, Ava, 6, and Caleb, 3. “More than just the person, cancer affects the whole family. I really try to make every moment with them as special as possible,” Milian said. Funds raised for the scholarship named in Milian’s honor will be bestowed in future Women of Distinction events.

If so, then consider how caring for your car is similar to caring for your kin. For the most part, caring for your family is pretty straightforward. Watch their diets, keep them clean, fix their bumps and bruises and they are likely to lead a healthy, happy life. So how do you raise and rear your sedan, SUV, light truck or mini-van? Use your parental prowess and follow some basic guidelines. What to expect when you’re ... a car owner ABC Limo Anytime Anywhere • Concerts • Weddings • Airport • Parties (909) 792-5356 www.abclimoserviceca.com While your human brood does not come with an owner’s manual, your car does. Read up on your vehicle. Become familiar with the safety features. Know what all the knobs and buttons do and where to refill things like windshield washer f luid and antifreeze. Your owner’s manual provides recommended maintenance schedules and other important warnings, and, by giving it a quick glance, you can save yourself the frustration of not knowing how to program the radio presets or change the clock for daylight saving time. Treat the scrapes and scratches When a child stubs a toe or scrapes a knee, you clean it and treat it to prevent bigger problems. It’s the same thing with your car. Your vehicle is bound to see a scratch or two from things like road salt, pebbles and other road hazards. It’s better to treat these when they are small so rust and corrosion do not cause further damage. Inspect your car regularly for little dings, then mend them yourself with a DIY product like Scratch Fix All-in-1 from DupliColor that comes with everything you’ll need to clean, repair and seal the blemish. First, use the tool’s abrasive tip to remove loose paint and rust. Next use one of the two applicators included - a pin-point pen tip for fine scratches or a taper-tip brush for larger chips - and paint with your vehicle’s exact color. Finally, use the separate foam applicator and clear coat to seal, protect and return your car to its original factory finish. The steps are easy and the product is available at most auto parts stores for less than $15.

If so, then consider how caring for your car is similar to caring for your kin. Well-car visits Prevention is the best medicine. That’s why you get a yearly checkup. Thewell-visits monitor your health and prevent illness. You should consider similar checkups for your car. During a regular vehicle maintenance visit, a car care professional will inspect the battery, brake and cooling systems, engine oil and filter, wheels, tires and more. They will provide guidance on what should be repaired or replaced and when. You may find that a small, less expensive repair made now will prevent a bigger hit to your wallet later and keep your car running longer. Good food and exercise After preventive and necessary care, similar to a person, tending to your car comes down to feeding it, cleaning it and making sure it gets enough exercise. Your vehicle requires fuel to properly run. Some vehicles call for specific grades or types of fuel to operate at an optimal level. Check your vehicle’s owner manual for any specific recommendations. Using a fuel different from what’s suggested can be the equivalent of feeding a child nothing but junk food. It will run slower and be at risk for future problems. The elements can be rough on your car. Salt, de-icers and other road treatments can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s finish. So give your car a bath every once and a while and be sure to clean the undercarriage whenever possible. And don’t forget a good coat of wax to prevent sun damage. Finally, your family members need exercise and so does your vehicle. If your car sits idle for too long, engine problems can occur. Take it for a drive. It’s good for the vehicle, as well as the driver. If you think of your car as a cherished family member, you should take care of it like one. Preventive maintenance, like annual checkups, can make a big difference. It’s also wise to treat nicks and scratches when they are small and not let them turn into something big. If you approach vehicle care with just a hint of maternal or paternal instincts, your ride will do well for many years to come.

Many turn to over-thecounter supplements to fill in nutritional gaps. But wouldn’t it be better - not to mention tastier - to get needed nutrients from what you eat? This season, why not turn your vegetable and herb garden into a “vitamin garden?” Fortunately, many vitaminpacked vegetables and herbs are easy to grow. Hardy, bountiful varieties like those from Bonnie Plants make it even easier to claim vitamin victory in your veggie garden. Studies show that gardeners tend to eat more fruits and vegetables than nongardeners, and nothing beats the flavor and freshness of homegrown veggies, fruits and herbs. In addition to the many health benefits gardening delivers, such as gentle exercise, fresh air and sunshine, growing your own vegetables can help ensure you meet vitamin requirements. While gardening is great exercise, starting a garden is actually an easy task. With just an hour a day, you can start a small backyard garden, or even grow your own vegetables in pots. Just start with transplants, instead of seed; they’ll save time and effort, and provide you with an earlier harvest. Choose a sunny spot with good drain- age, and make sure the soil is in shape to receive plants by soil-kit testing, and amending when necessary. Feed your food plants, water regularly and don’t forget to patrol for pests. Ready for your garden? Try these gardener-friendly, highpowered vegetables and herbs that can ensure your diet is full of flavorful, vitamin-rich foods: Herbs • Basil - Low in calories and cholesterol-free, basil is a rich source of many essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins. It contains exceptionally high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin A. • Oregano - High in antioxidants, oregano has both antibacterial and antifungal properties. • Rosemary - Another antioxidant herb, rosemary is used to fight inflammation. It’s a good source of vitamin A, thiamin and magnesium. Veggies • Bonnie Spinach - Spinach contains more than half the recommended daily value of vitamin A and is high in vitamins C, K , E, folate, manganese, magnesium, iron and potassium. Naturally low in calories, spinach grows well in spring, summer and fall, producing high yields of large, nutrient-rich leaves. • Tomatoes - Considered a super food, tomatoes deliver high doses of vitamins C, A, K and B6, and minerals such as potassium and lycopene. Hugely versatile, they’re a great ingredient in a variety of culinary styles, or equally yummy eaten on their own. Bonnie Plants has a range of new, easy-togrow tomato varieties for 2014, including the Biltmore (which ripens a large amount of fruit all at once), and the San Marzano, producing high yields and keeps producing right up until first frost. Check out the “Tomato Chooser” tool on Bonnie Plants’ website to make it easy to find the variety you want. Select traits you’re seeking and the tool will list the varieties that match! • Peppers - Another versatile veggie available in a wealth of varieties, peppers deliver fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, copper and vitamins A, C, K and B6. Many types, such as Bonnie Green Bell peppers, are very easy to grow, and others, like the Giant Marconi, deliver high yield and produce early in the season. • Squash - Popular and prolific varieties like zucchini and yellow squash require minimal care to produce hefty harvests. Green zucchini deliver vitamins C, K and B6, as well as folate, manganese and potassium. Yellow squash - either crookneck PHOTO COURTESY OF: BPT Ready for your garden? Try these gardener-friendly, highpowered vegetables and herbs that can ensure your diet is full of flavorful, vitamin-rich foods or straight neck - are easy to grow, early to mature and particularly high in vitamin C. And what’s the one vitamin every single veggie and herb in your garden delivers? You can count vitamin D - the true “sunshine vitamin” among the nutritional benefits of vegetables, herbs and gardening. While you’re outside working in the garden, your body is turning all that sunlight into much-needed vitamin D. Added to the vitamin value of veggies and herbs are the exercise and relaxation that derive from gardening. This summer, why not focus on growing your vitamins rather than getting them from a bottle? They’ll taste better than anything that comes from the pharmacy, plus you’ll reap health, wellness, and the many mental and physical benefits of gardening.

Four Tips for Achieving a Healthy Lawn on a Budget As hot weather rolls around, it’s time to start thinking about yard maintenance. If your budget is tight, you might be tempted to let the lawn care slide, but maintaining a great lawn doesn’t need to be expensive - and the reward for just a small investment is a beautiful, environmentally friendly setting for outdoor activities of many kinds. If you’re looking to ensure a healthy natural lawn on a budget, consider these four easy tips: Water as needed On average, a lawn needs about one inch of water per week, from rainfall or irrigation. This will soak the soil to a depth of four to six inches, putting water deep into your lawn’s root system. Letting the lawn dry out completely between waterings will encourage the grass to grow stronger, deeper roots as it searches for water deeper in the soil. For best results, water in the early morning when there is less wind and heat. Put a rain gauge on your porch to measure rainfall; if you receive one inch of rain in a week, skip the watering and save your irrigation money that week. Fertilize naturally Don’t break your back trying to bag lawn clippings. If you mow frequently (about once a week during the growing season) and don’t remove too much height, you can leave the grass clippings on the lawn. The clippings will serve as a natural fertilizer. They contain the same nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as commercial fertilizer - and they’re free. Use common household items Take advantage of items already at your fingertips to keep your lawn in tip-top shape. For example: Ready the ruler Mowing your grass to the right height will help you create a low-maintenance, droughttolerant lawn. Wait until your grass is three inches tall before mowing, and then cut it to two inches in height. By only trimming one-third of the blade length, you will avoid stressing the grass while leaving enough leaf to protect the roots from the sun. Let a screwdriver be your guide To see if your lawn needs to be watered, test for moisture by pushing a screwdriver into the ground. If it’s difficult to push the screwdriver in, the soil is dry and your grass needs a drink. If the blade goes in easily, you don’t need to water yet. Use mason jars, vinegar and baking soda Good soil is critical to a healthy lawn, and most turfgrasses prefer soil with a neutral pH (neither acidic nor alkaline). For a DIY pH test, pull out a pair of pint mason jars. Fill each jar about half way full with soil samples taken from several different locations around your yard. Be sure to remove rocks and other debris from your samples. Add a half-cup of vinegar to the first jar. If the mixture fizzes, your soil is highly alkaline and you don’t need to test the other jar. If you get no reaction, continue the test by adding a half-cup of water to the soil in the second jar. Mix well and then add a half-cup of baking soda to the slurry. If this mixture fizzes, the soil is very acidic. Overly acidic soil can be amended with lime, while alkaline soil can be amended with sulfur. Dish soap for the grubs As your lawn starts its spring growth, watch for brown patches that never turn green. Dead patches could be caused by grubs feeding on the roots in the fall. To determine whether grubs are indeed the problem, dig up square-foot sections of sod to a depth of about two inches in several areas in your yard. Next, examine the soil beneath your grass for short, fat, whitish Cshaped worms. If you find 10 PHOTO COURTESY OF: BPT Want a healthy natural lawn? Follow these tips to show the neighborhood you have the “green-thumb”. or more grubs per square foot you should treat your lawn. To treat 1,000 square feet of grass, dilute two tablespoons of liquid dish soap in a gallon of water and spray it on the lawn, preferably immediately after a rainfall. This will cause the grubs to come to the surface, where you can collect them if the birds don’t do the job for you. Repeat the treatment weekly until the grubs stop surfacing. Maintain your mower Take 30 minutes to service your lawn mower at the beginning of the season. Changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the spark plug and changing the filters once a year will help you avoid repair bills down the road. Also sharpen the mower blade if needed. A dull blade will tear the grass rather than cutting it, which will stress the lawn and leave it vulnerable to disease.
