(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) The Inland Empire has become a Mecca for the fashion industry. Local residents shop at specialty boutiques, attend fashion shows or begin careers as fashion designers. Paul Martinez, a San Bernardino resident, plans to be a leader in this movement with the launch of his clothing brand, Fresh Clinic (www.FreshClinicLife.com), early next year.
Martinez has been obsessed with fashion since his first day of college at UC Riverside. “I remember thinking that if I wanted to make myself presentable to employers in the fashion industry, then I better start taking my clothes more serious,” said Martinez.
As a new college graduate, Martinez struggled to find a job and fashion internships were competitive. Financial setbacks and the economy made Martinez a fashion entrepreneur. Fresh Clinic started as a blog for Martinez to express his love for fashion, but because of the weak job market it’s now become a business. Fresh Clinic combines urban and upscale clothing for a unique take on modern fashion.
Martinez embraces what his home, the Inland Empire, can bring to the table. “I believe it is important to buy from local designers, hire local models and work with local professionals. The only way the Inland Empire will be competitive in this industry is if we work together and bridge the gap with professionals in Los Angeles,” said Martinez.
Martinez works with local graphic designer Luke Vicious (www.LukeVicious.com), of Rialto, to design a collection of shirts. “I have been following Luke for a few years as a fan of his art, but now it’s cool we are working together,” said Martinez. Vicious has made his impression on the fashion industry for the past few years, and designs for Los Angeles brands StampdLA, TISA and JoyRich.
As a young veteran in the fashion industry, Vicious is confident in Martinez’s future success. “Paul is a great client to work with, being that his ideas have meaning behind them. It motivates me to do my best, and I see his graphics as works of art that tell a story. These original concepts will always stand out because they can’t be bought on a site or duplicated. This makes Fresh Clinic a rare, valuable brand because it keeps fashion traditions alive,” said Vicious.
Martinez also works with Amanda Pelaez (www.AmandaSilvia.com), a graphic designer and graduate of Cal State San Bernardino. “I like Amanda’s work because she is able to design the ideas I give her without needing much direction. She is definitely a self starter who does not waste time,” said Martinez.
Pelaez is excited about her work with Fresh Clinic. “Working with Paul has always been gratifying. He knows what he wants, and he tells you clearly & concisely. I look forward to the future of Fresh Clinic,” said Pelaez.
Martinez is hopeful for the future. He now has a job and is managing his own business. “I learned to create opportunities for myself, instead of waiting for them to come my way. I encourage everyone, especially the youth in our communities, to do the same.”
Fresh Clinic’s goal for the community is to provide free fashion shows, fashion events and scholarships to Inland Empire residents. “I want to give our people something to look forward to, to bring hope back into their lives. We all have a long road ahead, but the most important message is to never give up. I’m happy to say my team has no room for quitters.”

(San Bernardino, Calif.) – For many students, seeing the doctor for their annual physical is a requirement at the start of a new school year.
While in the past, some families couldn’t afford school physicals because they lacked health insurance, California Care and California Covered in most cases allows health care providers to offer preventive care at no cost, even when patients have health insurance policies that usually require co-pays.
“Annual physicals are a good idea for everyone,” said Dr. Albert Arteaga, president of LaSalle Medical Associates, In some cases, the schools your children attend will require them.”
“Physicals are required when a child enters school in California, most commonly kindergarten,” said Dr. Albert Arteaga, founder and president of LaSalle Medical Associates, Inc. “If a middle school, high school, college or university student plans to play sports, all schools will require them to obtain a physical at the beginning of the season. Many college and university students often need back-to-school physicals as a condition of living on campus.”
School Physicals and Immunizations are generally FREE with California Care health insurance membership.
Physicals for children typically include making sure they have reached adequate height and weight for their age. Doctors also make sure children are up-to-date on the immunizations needed for their age.
Young children also are evaluated to make sure they can perform certain tasks. For instance a child entering kindergarten should be able to play well with other children, state his or her first and last name, color with crayons and dress him or herself.
Kindergarteners who are not able to do these things may have developmental delays that will cause them to need extra help throughout their education, and may also have medical conditions that need close monitoring by a doctor.
As with adults, physicals also are a time to check overall health, by checking blood pressure, hearing and vision. Doctors also may order blood tests to check for anemia, and a urinalysis to check for infections and diseases such as diabetes.
“All of these things we check for in a physical are what’s known as preventive health care,” Dr. Arteaga said. “We want to make sure we catch things as early as we can so that we can start interventions before they cause serious health problems.”
“Thankfully, now that almost all families have health insurance, these interventions will not be an expensive burden on them. With insurance, they may have to pay a small deductible or copay for treatment, but not the hundreds or thousands it would cost without.”
Most K-12 students in San Bernardino County begin school in August, as do many colleges. Parents of any students needing a mandatory back-to-school physical to start school before Labor Day should schedule an appointment with their doctor immediately. Athletes, and anyone who starts school in September should not wait much longer.
“It is important not to wait until the last minute,” Dr. Arteaga said. “Summer is our busy season, and some doctors won’t be able to see you right away and we do accept patents with out an appointment. “

Children play at Holy Rosary Acadamy Preschool
(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) Holy Rosary Academy & Preschool which provides a Catholic education to children from preschool through eighth grade, is open for new enrollments.
“We are a small, vibrant community. We care about children and provide a rigorous education along with teachings of the Catholic Church to help our students become the leaders of tomorrow,” said Principal Cheryll Austin.
The kindergarten through eighth grade program at Holy Rosary Academy has been providing San Bernardino-area students a Catholic education since 1947. The school offers a challenging Catholic education which help students achieve, academic success, moral responsibility and spiritual growth.
In the school’s 67 year history, Holy Rosary Academy has created many graduates who went on to be community leaders. One of these leaders is Bill Lemann, who is currently a partner in the law firm Fullerton, Lemann, Schaffer & Dominick.
“I was fortunate that, from the outset of my formal education, my family found a second home for me at Holy Rosary Academy. For eight formative and memorable years, I was entrusted to Holy Rosary leadership to nurture my total being in mind, body and spirit. I am pleased that successive generations have continued to have confidence in the benefits of the formidable education Holy Rosary offers to all. I attribute my modest success in life, thirst for knowledge and formal training in large part to that foundation so generously and carefully set out for me in my early youth,” said Lemann.
“I was fortunate that, from the outset of my formal education, my family found a second home for me at Holy Rosary Academy. For eight formative and memorable years, I was entrusted to Holy Rosary leadership to nurture my total being in mind, body and spirit,” said Wilfred C. (Bill) Lemann, who is currently a partner in the law firm Fullerton, Lemann, Schaffer & Dominick.
“Our way to pay it forward is to support and nourish assistance in the professional development of our teachers, the enhancement of our academic programs and to assist in the investment in technology and science programs to enable Holy Rosary to continue to provide safe, clean and up-to-date facilities and programs for the continued development of leadership in our future students, all at tuition levels that are affordable for hard-working families. Let us give all our children the same head start I was fortunate to have at Holy Rosary Academy,” said Lemann.
In 2010, Holy Rosary Academy started producing leaders of tomorrow at even an earlier age. This is when Holy Rosary Preschool was formed for children ages 2.5 and older who are not in kindergarten yet.
The preschool is licensed for 44 preschool children to learn in comfort. The school offers three separate preschool programs to help working families with child care and provides a safe learning environment for young children.
The different preschool programs allow students to attend school two, three or five days a week. Within these programs parents have the option to send their child for a half-day, school day or a full day. Holy Rosary’s preschool is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate working parents.
Holy Rosary Academy & Preschool isn’t for every student. One of its key factors for success is helping students to find their identity and create a strong base in their Catholic faith.
“We expect our students’ families to be actively involved in worship at a Catholic Church,” Principal Austin said. “We want our students to grow and succeed spiritually, intellectually, morally, physically, socially, culturally, and emotionally.
Holy Rosary Academy Principal Cheryl Austin.
“Our school focuses on our belief that Jesus Christ is always with us, and serves as the role model for our teachers, staff and hopefully, our students,” said Austin. She continued, “The Catholic Church’s teachings reinforce what they will learn in the Academy, which will include the importance of taking responsibility for their own actions, treating themselves and others with dignity and respect, and striving for academic excellence. The Catholic Church teaches these same values, so the reinforcement from church will help ensure their greatest success.”
Holy Rosary Academy had to increase its tuition rates slightly this year due to the increase in California’s minimum wage law. However, Holy Rosary Academy works with families on a case-by-case basis regarding costs, payment plans, etc. to help parents afford to enroll their children. Holy Rosary Academy & Preschool also offers discounts to families with more than one student enrolled.

(San Bernardino, CA) The Black Culture Foundation celebrates 25 years of honoring unsung heroes in the Inland Empire when it hosts the Black Rose Awards on Sept. 12 at the National Orange Show.
The Black Rose was the brainstorm of Dr. Juanita Scott, Jim King and Jeffrey Hill, who was a close friend and play son to 2014 Program Co-Chair Margaret Hill.
“I can still remember the Black Culture Foundation meeting more than 25 years ago where Jim King and Jeff Hill started discussing how there are so many people doing great things but never getting recognized,” Margaret Hill said. “Then Dr. Juanita Scott, and perhaps the rest of us chimed in. We all thought it was a great idea to have this special celebration for unsung heroes.
The idea of Black Roses was King’s idea.
“We were all taken aback by it at first,” Margaret Hill said. “Jim explained that since Black is often known as being negative, and roses are known for being beautiful, it was appropriate to combine them into Black Roses, which changes the myths about Blacks.”
Since 1990, the Black Culture Foundation has honored some of its heroes with Black Rose Awards. It has also bestowed special awards on some since the beginning.
It established the Humanitarian of the Year Award its first year. It was named in honor of Dr. Juanita Scott because of her dedication and financial commitment to the Black Culture Foundation. Jim King received the first award.
It established the Commitment to Community Service Award in 2006, giving that award in honor of Margaret Hill in recognition of her volunteer work in the cities of San Bernardino and Highland. Veatrice Jews received the first award.
It established the Jim King Special Community Service Award in 2009, which is presented only every five years. Brian Townsend received the first award in 2009 for providing the African-American community with helpful and relevant information by publishing the Precinct Reporter and for his community service.
The deadline to nominate an unsung hero for the Black Rose Awards is Thursday, July 31. Applications can be downloaded from www.sbbcfoundation.org.
