“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

The last two days have been a busy one for TF 9338 of the @CALFIRESANDIEGO. E3363 located a family in need of diapers & baby food and hiked 3/4 of a mile in the snow to deliver the care package. Together a total of 165 residents in Crestline have been contacted to ensure that gas meters, driveways and vehicles are accessible & free of snow, medical issues are addressed and meals distributed. Firefighters were able to safely evacuate 8 residents yesterday taking them to Goodwin’s Market where the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputies shuttled them to the Red Cross Shelter. Approximately 30 cases of meals were distributed to residents in need, 1 resident was evaluated and ultimately transported by ground ambulance to a local area hospital.

Five years ago, on Valentine’s Day in 2018, my day began like any other day in our home. My wife and I were getting ready for work, and we were sending our forever 14-year-old daughter Jaime and at the time 16-year-old son Jesse off to school.
I’m sure everyone is aware of what has happened to our brothers and sisters in Turkey.
