The ability to take action inthe face of adversity iscourage.

A person’s ability to take actiontowards a goal or objective thatseems impossible is one exampleof courage. How does a person develop

courage and make it part of theircore values? From a mental aspect,courage is developed through thetraining of our mind which isbased on the content we feed thebrain to process. Courage is developed through

our daily practices and habitswhich prepare our mind to func-tion in situations that require ac-tion taking. In moments where weface doubt and fear having a senseof courage if not apparent to us, in-stead what drives us to take actionis our ability to revert back to thecontent processed into our mindand believe in our ability to suc-ceed. The sense of courage is notfelt or realized until the first actionstep is taken or success is ob-tained. Can we agree that a per-son’s ability to act in the presenceof doubt and fear is then depend-ent on the condition of their mind-set? Can we also agree courage is

obtained in part through the con-tinuous development of the mind?If you are able to identify a lack

of courage as the reason for hold-ing you back from taking actiontowards a goal or objective then Iencourage you to begin trainingyour mind. Train your mind byfeeding your brain the positivecontent it needs to improve yourability to take action in the face ofdoubt and fear. If you do this on aconsistent basis you are empower-ing your mindset and preparingyourself for future success. The fa-mous motivational speaker LesBrown said, “The graveyard is therichest place on earth because somany people die with rich dreamsand ideas.” I encourage you tofocus on developing your mind, inturn you will be developing mentalcourage and your ability to handleadversity will improve.

Inland Empire

Colton is not a rich community.We work hard for what we get, andwhen costs go up, it usually meansgiving up something else.In my own home, as a single

mom raising two children, I watchevery penny, so to learn that ourtrash rates are going up as much as23 percent begs the question: Areour elected city leaders being asfrugal as we are.To be fair, the higher rates

weren’t their idea. Credit that toRepublic Services, which hascome up with some convolutedmethod to force residences topay11 percent to 23 percent more.For businesses, rates would go up14 percent to 20 percent.The proposed rates are included

in Republic’s attempts to lock inan early extension of its contract.That’s where our Council has

fallen short – by not putting thetrash contract out to bid once itlearned of Republic’s intentions.It can still do so, and I ask my

fellow residents to urge them to dojust that – put it out to bid, get thebest price and show us that they’relooking out for our best interests.I did some research recently and

found that if the Republic plangoes through, our trash rates willbe 16 percent to 20 percent higherthan those of Rancho Cucamonga– a city with a median householdincome nearly double that ofColton.In fact, our rates would be among

the highest in San BernardinoCounty.What I also learned was how

other trash haulers in other com-munities will often give back tothose cities when seeking a con-

tract extension.The fact that Republic won’t do

this, and is clearly trying tosqueeze every hard-earned pennyout of us, speaks volumes of thekind of community partner theyare – or aren’t. As offensive is Republic’s claim

that it’s not a lot of money, sug-gesting that a few dollars here orthere won’t hurt anyone. That’s aneasy argument for a multimillion-dollar corporation. Have themmanage a household on mybudget, and see how “easy” thatis.Please, council members, don’t

go there. Put the trash contract outto bid, and let’s see if we can get abetter deal.

Gender discrimination still a problemfor working poor

So a San Francisco jury rejectedEllen Pao’s $16 million claim fordamages because she was passedover for a promotion by her presti-gious employer?

Oh, poor baby! I find it impossi-ble to sympathize with someonewho enjoys extraordinary wealthbut craves more.

However, what I do find inex-

cusable concerning gender in-equality in the workplace is theplight of poor women. For exam-ple, my mother (of blessed mem-ory) worked throughout her life atmenial jobs. And while she neverrose above minimum wage, hermale counterparts were routinelygiven a different title and paidmore, despite performing the samework. She had no recourse be-cause to complain would have

brought retribution.

So yes, ours is a great country,but we still have more to do beforewe can boast about gender equal-ity in the workplace, especially forthe working poor.

David Quintero,Monrovia

Unions offer protection

We need a statewide water planthat would prevent a local watershortage from becoming astatewide crisis. The plan shouldinclude desalination plants but notbe limited to them.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s father hadthe right idea with the CaliforniaAqueduct. What is needed is an in-frastructure that channels waterfrom all its sources — desalinationplants, snow runoff in season,water from rivers and streamswhen they are flowing — intoreservoirs for storage and distribu-

tion to homes, businesses andfarms.

We will once again be payingmore for using less water. Wherewill that money go? To increasethe salaries of those who urge usto use less water, or to be used tobuild what is needed to solve theproblem? And construction of astatewide water conservation anddelivery system would create morejobs than building a bullet train.

If there are concerns about the ef-fects of desalination plants on ma-

rine life, we can consult with en-gineers and scientists in Israel orthe United Arab Emirates, wheredesalination has been a fact of lifefor years.

If Californians are expected tohave dirt yards with desert plants— a California that looks like Ari-zona — then maybe we shouldjust move to Arizona. Income andsales taxes are much lower andgasoline is a lot cheaper.

John M. Glenn,West Covina

Start with infrastructure

I spent 35 years in the logisticsindustry. Because I worked in aunion shop, all positions, whetherit be mechanic, driver, warehouse,dispatcher or other service, wereset by contract with the company.It didn’t matter what gender, raceor stature you were. The pay rateand benefits for a particular posi-tion did not change. All that was

required was to fill that positionadequately.

Many people bash unions. Butmy experience with regard to fair-ness was a positive one.

Words to Think About: Religion has always held a significant place

By G. W. Abersold Ph.D.

Ever since the beginning ofrecorded history, religionhas had a significant place.

Shamans were the first originators.As society became more stableand civilized, religions becamemore organized and structured.Tribal deities were replaced and“god for all occasions” graduallybecame monotheistic.One of the oldest and betterknown is Zoroasterism. It conser-vatively goes back to 5500 B.C.E.(Before the Christian Era.) It orig-inated in Persia and is known as

Parsiism in India.Zoroaster, the founder, professedto be born of a virgin and believedin monotheism. His followers wereastrologers and Magi (magicians.)He has also been described as anapocalyptic preacher.He spent considerable time in thedesert for meditation and intro-spection. His life ended tragicallywhen he, his wife and four chil-dren were murdered. He left twobooks of his beliefs, “The Vester,”and “The Gathas.”One of the more interesting tradi-tions of Jesus’ early life has Himgoing to Persia and studyingZoroastrianism. This view is sub-stantiated by the similarity be-tween many of the teachings ofJesus and the beliefs of Zoroaster.Here are a few similarities.1. God is not about fear, guilt orcondemnation.2. God does not have favorites ordiscriminate.3. God is wisdom, love and logic.4. God treats humans with dig-nity and respect.5. God is not, jealous, wrathful orvengeful.6. Man is not sinful, fallen or de-

praved.7. Man was created to progress inlikeness to God and eliminatewrong in the world.It is obvious that Zoroasterism in-fluenced Judaism, Christianity andIslam. However, all three werestrongly influenced by their com-mon heritage. They have a tie withAbraham. Their books: The OldTestament, The New Testamentand the Quran all claim Abraham.Judaism through Jacob, Christi-anity by way of Abraham’s exam-ple and Islam through Ishmael.The tie for Judaism and Christi-anity is common knowledge, butnot so much the tie with Islam.Abraham had a mistress, Hagar,who bore him a son, Ishmael.Sarah resented her and so Hagerand Ishmael were banished to thedesert-Arabia. Ishmael’s descen-dants are Arabs as well as Ma-homet the Prophet.Also, all three claim Jerusalem astheir Holy City. The Jews becauseof David’s kingdom; Christianitybecause of Jesus’ crucifixion andresurrection there; and Islam be-cause of the Prophet’s ascensioninto heaven on a white horse from

there.Islam is known primarily becauseof the Sunnis, the Shiites and theSharia Laws. The Sunni composeabout 90 percent of all Muslims.The Shiites about 10 percent. Theydisagree about which side is therightful successors to Muhammad.Sunni Muslims accept the firstfour caliphs following the death ofMuhammad. Shiite Muslims ac-cept the mullahs that descendedfrom Fatima and Ali (the daughterand cousin). Fatima was Muham-mad’s daughter. The Sharia Law iscomposed mainly of the Five Pil-lars of Faith.They are: 1) Profession of faith inno God but Allah and Muhammadis His Prophet. 2) Pray five timesa day facing Mecca. 3) Almsgivingto the needy or relatives. 4) Fastingduring the holy month of Ra-madan. 5) If possible, make onepilgrimage to Mecca.Iran is a Shiite country and SaudiArabia is Sunni. Most of the mid-east is Sunni.It is interesting to note that Islam

impacted the world as it was in themidst of the Dark Ages. Education,science and literary production

were at an all-time low. Religionwas corrupt, social values wereminimal.One historian states, “Islam,through its insistence on knowl-edge, created in its followers aspirit of intellectual curiosity andindependent inquiry, resulting in asplendid era of learning and scien-tific research.” While the WesternWorld was mired in the Dark Ages,Islam was ushering in the Renais-sance and the “Age of Science.”It is important to remember that

Judaism, Christianity and Islam allhave crazies and extremists-notjust in the past but now also.However, don’t stop there. Theyalso have great benefits. Judaismhas Hadassah, Christianity hasCatholic Charities and Protestantshave scores of charitable sources.Locally, Islam has a mosque inWest San Bernardino, Al Shafa,that has a clinic with doctors, den-tists and nurses that offer medicaland dental care FREE for anyone,Muslim or not. Call them for anappointment if you have a medicalor dental need.Amen. Selah. So be it.

Hall of Fame inductee Roy Cook served asteenaged Colton ambassador

By Harvey M. Kahn

At 14, sports writers werecalling Roy Cook ayouth basketball sensa-

tion who was already beingquoted in local newspapers abouthis meetings with noted officials.He met Earl Warren when thevice-presidential hopeful came toColton as the running mate for1948 presidential candidateThomas E. Dewey.In 1952, Cook helped lead theColton High School basketballteam to the Citrus Belt Leaguechampionship and led the leaguein scoring with 19 points pergame. It earned him a CaliforniaInterscholastic Federation 1stteam selection.For his accomplishments on thecourt combined with his off-the-court assets, Cook was rewardedwith induction into the 2015 classof the Colton Sports Hall ofFame. The 1920's Colton Centralsand Colton Cubs baseball teamswere also enshrined in a cere-mony at the Gonzales CommunityCenter on April 10.After graduation, the 6-foot-4,220 pound Cook was awarded ascholarship to UCLA to play bas-ketball during John Wooden'searly tenure. Cook played on theCHS varsity three years for coachTom Morrow. Cook explained that after lead-ing the UCLA freshman team inscoring in 1954, he quit collegeand joined the Army, never toplay basketball again. He laterearned a bachelor's degree fromthe University of Redlands and amaster's from San FranciscoState. The 81-year-old Cooktaught for seven years at El Ran-cho High and recently retired as arealtor in Saratoga, CA after 44years. He said there were no highschool hall of fame's when hewent to school and never ex-pected his induction. He feels thatas time goes by it is harder to getinducted. Cook named Coltonathletes Dave Swing and TommyWilliams from the late 1940's asexamples. Cook was a two-waystarting lineman on the 1950 CHSfootball team. Cook called Colton a great placeto grow up, with little crime. "Askids we'd walk down to the hobo

jungle by the railroad tracks underthe cottonwoods," said Cook. "Iremember seeing six or sevenmen cooking their food. Theywere nice to us kids and we feltsafe around them. They weregrown men who had lost every-thing."He told that only two studentshad cars when he went to CHS.His father would drive him to hisdate's house and escort them backhome. "Cars and cell phones havereally changed things. InSaratoga, students now driveBMW's and Mercedes to schooland stretch limo's take them todances. Today, it's more superfi-cial."When Cook played basketballthere was no one taking jumpshots, just long set shots. Therewas no shot clock. Free throwswere attempted underhanded andno one dunked. He was usuallythe tallest on the court, now thereare 6-11 high school players.

"Back then blacks were not giventhe chance to play. Now, theydominate the game," observedCook. "Hand-checking and trav-eling with the ball was not al-lowed. The game is now rougher.There was no showboating."Among Cook's high schoolachievements were a number ofbasketball tournament scoringrecords. He played his senior sea-son with a bad foot, eventuallycausing him to miss the final fivegames. As CHS student bodypresident his senior year, he wasthe keynote speaker before the as-sembly of Rotary and Lion's. As a member of the BoysForum, he met politicians whostopped in Colton due in part be-cause of the prime location of theold train depot. "President Eisen-hower often came through on hisway to Palm Springs. In a sense, Ihave lived too long," summedCook.

U.S. Rep. veterans’ roundtableaddresses employment, homelessness

By Anthony Victoria,Community Writer

Adiscussion with Con-gressman Pete Aguilar(D-Rancho Cuca-

monga) on Friday April 10 shedlight on several issues that pertainto veterans—the biggest being theavailability of employment oppor-tunities and homelessness.Approximately forty veterans,representatives of veterans organ-izations, and healthcare profes-sionals participated in a roundtableheld at the Veterans of ForeignWars (VFW) Post 8737 in SanBernardino to formulate ideas andevent plans which may help toprovide more employment re-sources and opportunities for vet-erans of the greater SanBernardino area.In his first three months, Aguilarhas championed several initiativesand bills that aim to provide veter-ans support. House of Represen-tatives bill 344 (H.R. 344)--theManufacturing Jobs for Veter-ans Act--is perhaps the most sig-nificant the rookie congressmanhas assisted with. The bill—intro-duced on Jan. 14—aims to estab-lish a pilot program to encouragethe employment of veterans inmanufacturing positions. If passed,it will support on-the-job training,

apprenticeships and certificationclasses.“From the VA backlog to lack ofaffordable housing and high unem-ployment, we need to do better byour veterans,” said Aguilar. “I willcontinue advocating for policiesand programs that provide our vet-erans with the resources they needto readjust to civilian life and livehealthy, productive lives.”The ideas brought forth by theevent’s attendees include creatinga database of veteran-friendly em-ployers to distribute at supportcenters across the San Bernardinoarea, recognizing those employersfor their support of vets, ensuringthose with disabilities and withouta home can seek the right help, andorganizing a symposium to pro-vide for job preparation and net-working opportunities.Vietnam War veteran Richard

Valadez (U.S. Marine Corps),who is also the Legislative Direc-tor for the Disabled American Vet-erans, San Bernardino Chapter 12,said the inability in receiving em-ployment is often due to lack of in-formation vets receive fromemployers.“Feedback is what is needed tohelp them,” he said.VFW quartermaster (accountant)

Rudy Guzman, 67, of Rialto saidhis organization has volunteeredits space to host future meetings

between Aguilar and veterans tosolve pressing issues. However, hesaid he remains doubtful of theability of politicians to followthrough.

“Now the proof is in the pudding.What is he going to do when heleaves here and goes to Washing-ton? It’s up to him to prove to usthat he is genuine.”

with the Redlands communitysince Clement “is itself a commu-nity,” explained Principal RobertClarey. “One of the things about

Clement, is that Clement is a com-munity and what better way toshare that than to just open thedoors to everyone,” he said. “It’s a

celebration for all.”In addition to the day’s festivi-

ties, which included games andwriting notes sharing memories oftimes on campus, live entertain-ment and performances from St.Mary’s Ballet Folklorico, an op-portunity to scan through year-books from the school’s historywas also made available.All but three years of the school’s

special meet-and-greet opportu-nity with the cast of the show dur-ing its April 9-12 tour at theCitizens Business Bank Arena inOntario. Part of the special event activities

included dressing up as their fa-vorite Marvel hero—Hulk, IronMan, Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor among others—cre-ating shields and trying on armoralong with a lesson in becoming a“hero.”

The first key to becoming a su-perhero is to eat your veggies, re-spect your parents and teachersand of course, pose like a hero,cast members explained as theyshowed off their famous poses.The children, dressed as their fa-

vorite character, followed com-mands exactly.“I am The Hulk,” Kaylee said,
