“Defendant [County of San Bernardino] admits for the purpose of this lawsuit only that there exists probable cause to believe that violations of the federal rights of plaintiffs [West Valley Detention Center inmates] have occurred sufficient to warrant the relief contained herein.”

- Proposed Consent Decree, Magistrate Judge David T. Bristow

M

ost Americans and many around the world who value human decency were outraged in December 2004, when it became public that U.S. Marines operating in Iraq had committed a variety of despicable abuses against Iraqi prisoners.

The disturbing report came on the heels of a blockbuster report a month earlier which exposed the abuse scandal at the Abu Ghraib prison (also in Iraq). The report shook the U.S. military, rocked America and stunned the world. In one disturbing report, at least three Marines shocked a detainee with an electric transformer and forced him to dance as the electricity hit him.

Overall, according to a summary prepared for the Pentagon’s Inspector General and made public by the American Civil Liberties Union, there were at least ten substantiated incidents of Marines abusing prisoners.

For weeks and months afterward, Americans remained fixated and disgusted by these reports.

They also took note as investigations unfolded, and the perpetrators were identified and punished.

Here at home, when inmates in state and local prisons and jails report allegations of mistreatment it barely raises public interest—it is as if too many Americans believe—because the victims are detainees—they don’t deserve humane treatment or, if they had not committed a crime, they would not be in jail/prison to be abused.

So, it was disheartening but not surprising when on December 12, 2018, Judge Virginia A. Phillips approved a settlement agreement/Consent Decree between San Bernardino County and plaintiffs (detainees) of the West Valley Detention Center was hardly noticed during the Christmas rush.

I wondered why individuals were so outraged over the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners but were much less concerned about abuse that occurs right under our noses? After all, although many of those held in county jails may have been charged with a crime, they are yet to be tried and convicted and are still presumed innocent—just because they may not be able to afford bail does not mean they should be subjected to the added indignities of abuse.

According to court documents, the involved inmates at the West Valley Detention Center were subjected to abuses that in some ways were like the abuse suffered by prisoners in Iraq. Their allegations included repeated assaults with stun guns, having shotguns placed to their heads, beatings, being deprived of sleep and some were even sodomized by jail officials as part of routine body searches. In addition, there were concerns raised about deferred mental and physical medical care—including care of the disabled.

The case of abuse at the West Valley Detention Center took more than four years to wind its way to the final Consent Decree in December. Despite this agreement however, it is only the tip of the iceberg. Many of the complaints reported by the inmates/victims in West Valley were echoed by immigrant detainees at the Adelanto Immigration Center and by inmates in Los Angeles County and inmates in Orange County and inmates in Sacramento County and the list goes on and on.

Although prison guards lose their jobs, rarely are they ever charged with a crime as if the people they abuse don’t count. It is almost as if the inmates are not human. Interestingly, and in contrast, people are sentenced to jail for abusing animals.

America’s jail/prison system is ineffective, abusive and as broken as the nation’s criminal justice system. However, as long as many jails/prisons remain packed with Black and Brown bodies owed to disparate administration of justice, they will continue to be abused until citizens raise their collective voices and say, “Enough!” . . . “No mas!”

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

Mansell Appointed West Valley General Manager Rialto

D

uring the December 20, 2018, meeting of the West Valley Water District Board of Directors, Clarence Mansell, Jr. was appointed to serve as the agency’s General Manager.

Mansell had successfully served the agency as acting General Manager for several months.

Heralded as an accomplished water expert, Mansell boasts more than 40 years’ experience in the industry and has collaborated with various policy leaders and agencies across the state.

Mansell began his career with the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and throughout his career also worked for other agencies in the cities of Los Angeles, Corona and Rialto.

“Clarence brings with him the experience that will allow West Valley Water District to become an innovative leader while increasing the service levels our customers deserve,” said Board President Dr. Michael Taylor.

The Board’s Vice President Kyle Crowther also had high praise for Mansell. “Clarence is incredibly creative and smart, and he is eager to explore new ideas to improve our

infrastructure.”

Accepting the appointment, Mansell addressed the Board. “Thank you,” he began, “for the opportunity to lead the District as we explore ways to improve services. I look forward to building on the achievements the District has accomplished thus far.”

During an exchange with The IE Voice/Black Voice News, WVWD Public Affairs Manager Naseem Farooqi shared, “We are excited about Mansell’s appointment,” further noting, “He is a good man for the job.”

In recent years the WVWD has struggled with both leadership and integrity issues. Critics and observers are hopeful Mansell’s appointment will be another positive step toward becoming the type of transparent agency its customers deserve.

The West Valley Water District serves customers in the middle Inland Valley including the communities of Colton, Fontana, in addition to the unincorporated area of Bloomington and a portion of the Jurupa Valley in Riverside County.

Preliminary Alcohol Screening Tests Now Required for Those Convicted of Drunk Driving Riverside

C

ounted among the number of new laws that took effect in California this year was the expanded application of Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) tests across California.

Previously, the only drivers required to take the tests were those under 21 years-old or those currently on Driving Under the Influence (DUI) probation.

Under the mandates of SB1046, Driving Under the Influence: Ignition Interlock Device law, a pilot program was trialed in Alameda, Tulare, Los Angles and Sacramento counties between July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2017—the initiative is now expanded statewide.

SB1046 made it mandatory for drivers convicted of first-time DUI offenses that resulted in an injury, to pass a breathalyzer connected to their vehicle. The device, called an ignition interlock device or IID, requires the driver to pass a breathalyzer test each time they start their car. Also, to keep the driver from drinking after he/she passes the initial test, the device may require random tests while in motion.

Make Saying ‘No’ a Part of Your New Years Resolution

H

appy New Year! Are you one of those always dependable family go-to-persons. Whether it’s hosting holiday celebrations, coughing up emergency loans or last minute babysitting, you can’t say no. The result is feeling stressed, angry, used and unappreciated.

Welcome to the overworked, over stressed, underappreciated, can’t say ‘no’ club. Most people who make New Year’s resolutions are looking to improve their lives, and a common thread in these attempted life changes involves saying no.

The number of worthy requests isn’t likely to lessen, and you can’t add more available time to your day. Are you doomed then to be overcommitted and underappreciated? The answer is no, not if you’re willing to say no. It may not be the easy way, but it is a path to solving your problem.

From saying yes to unhealthy eating and drinking to going from an occasional babysitter to raising your grandkids, is it any wonder that you can’t find a minute for relaxation? In fact, if you’re like most women, you may have even forgotten how to relax.

And though experts say that some stress is good for you -- it can

sharpen your senses and your mind -- too much stress is bad for your mental and physical health. At the same time, learning to say no can do wonders to restore balance in your life -- and may even reduce some of the health risks associated with stress.

Sure it’s easier to say yes, but at what price to your peace of mind? Consider these reasons for saying no: • Saying no isn’t necessarily selfish. When you say no to a new commitment, you’re honoring your existing obligations and ensuring that you’ll be able to devote quality time to them.

• Saying no can allow you to try new things.

Just because you’ve always planned, prepared and hosted family celebrations, doesn’t mean that you have to keep doing it forever. Saying no will give you time to pursue other interests or just sit back and enjoy someone else’s turkey and dressing.

• Always saying yes isn’t healthy. When you’re overcommitted and under too much stress, you’re more likely to feel run-down, anxious and possibly get sick.

• Saying yes can cut others out. On the other hand, when you say no you open the door for others to step up. They may not do things exactly the way you would, but that’s OK. They’ll find their own way.

More Locals Will Be Impacted as Federal Shutdown Drags On...

Riverside

A

majority of the approximate 800,000 employees furloughed or forced to work without pay due to the most recent shutdown of the federal government that began December 27, 2018, do not reside in Washington, D.C., instead, most are scattered across the country in communities like those in the inland region and elsewhere in California.

There are thousands of federal employees in various assignments spread across the state and no doubt dozens, if not hundreds, are impacted by the current shutdown. A shutdown that appears by most estimates may be set to drag on for several more days, possibly weeks.

The shutdown not only impacts federal workers, it has also placed economic stress on downstream businesses. This not only includes federal contractors and their employees who will never recover lost wages, but also local governments who may need to close gaps in services to vulnerable populations who might be impacted by the interruption in programs usually funded by the federal government.

For example, there are growing concerns some of the nation’s key social programs like the Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, could be disrupted—programs like WIC and others depend on federal aid to the states.

California has a history of being counted among states with the highest WIC coverage rate in the nation. Nearly 1.4 million California women, infants and children were enrolled in fiscal year 2014—nearly 80 percent were children. This included about 30 percent of young children in San Bernardino County and 33.1 percent of young children in Riverside County and those percentages have remained fairly consistent.

Other concerns related to a protracted shutdown is the potential impact it can have on food assistance programs that depend on surplus agricultural products provided by the Department of Agriculture. This includes provisions for food banks and other supplemental food programs that support low income households, including those with seniors. continued on page 18

Teens Teaching Tech on Tuesdays Temecula

O

n Tuesday, The Heart of Temecula LEO Club in partnership with the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library began offering free technology training at the library between 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the first Tuesday of every month. The effort will continue through the end of May. A PEW Research report has noted that along with mobile phones, many Americans also own a range of other information devices. According to PEW, nearly three quarters of U.S. adults now own desktop or laptop computers, while roughly half now own tablet computers and around one-in-five own e-reader devices. Even more interesting however is that although owners use their devices, many do not understand how to use all the features they have at their fingertips.

The Teens Teaching Tech initiative is a program where High School students help parents and grandparents with questions that they may have about their cell/smart phones,

laptops, tablets, or even desktop computers.

The teens will provide one-on-one tutoring on how to send and receive text messages or pictures, download apps, email, access the internet, or solve any technical problems that may be encountered!

Two African Americans Sworn-in To Top State Posts Antonio R. Harvey Contributor

A

ligned with the new governor of the state of California’s vision, two African Americans who were recently swornin to their elected seats both said they are also committed to making bold and progressive changes.

Tony Thurmond, who took the oath as Superintendent of Public of Instruction, and Malia Cohen, affirmed as one of four members of the State Board of Equalization, have expressed excitement about carrying out the duties of their positions.

“My preface here, I hope, sends a message to the students of color that their needs will be met,” said Thurmond, the first Afro-Latino and second Black American to be elected to the position. “I’m on the job.”

Right after Newsom was sworn in as California’s 40th governor at the State Capitol in Sacramento, he laid out a long list of priorities aimed at benefitting all Californians. Especially, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurman was sworn in on Monday surrounded by his daughters and family as the states first Afropeople who struggle the most in the state.

Latino and second African American to hold the position. By: Robert Maryland, California Black Media) During Newsom’s inaugural speech, under a well-constructed tent Thurmond, 50, also made a bold statement at his swearing-in in front of the facility where state laws are made, the Democrat from ceremony at C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento. A Democrat, San Francisco outlined policies that would deal with affordable housing, Thurmond became the 28th state superintendent of Public Instruction homelessness, closing the achievement gap in education, affordable and the second African American to hold the office. healthcare, hunger and equity in pay.

Thurmond chose McClatchy High School, “strategically and Gov. Newsom addressed many of the same issues that are prevalent intentionally,” he said. The school has been embroiled in racial incidents in the Black community. But the former lieutenant governor and mayor in the last couple of years, including a racist video that was posted on of San Francisco sent a clear message that his priorities will strengthen Instagram by two of its students. the state and it will be done with complete financial responsibility.

A female and male appeared to be in blackface while the latter made “We will prepare for uncertain times ahead,” Newsom said. “We will racial epithets towards African Americans. The incidents concerned be prudent stewards of taxpayer dollars, pay down on debts, and meet Thurmond, now a former state assemblyman. our future obligations. Let me be clear, we will be bold, we will aim high, McClatchy was also the focus of a student science project conducted and we will work like hell to get there.” by non-black students that questioned their peers of color’s intelligence.

Well into his address, Newsom also went as far as taking shots at the “I would say it’s strategic, not ironic,” Thurmond said of his decision Trump administration and its policies, signaling his political direction to to hold the swearing-in ceremony at McClatchy High School, which has go far left during his tenure as governor. Newsom said Donald Trump’s a cross-cultural affluent, middle-class, and low-income student body. current time in the White House is not on a stable foundation.

“While I don’t have (charge) over this school, I’ve already begun to “Here in California, we will prove that people of good faith can still look into their concerns. I intend to talk to the students, teachers and come together to achieve big things,” said Newsom during his 25-minute principal to listen to their concerns.” speech. “We will offer an alternative to the corruption and incompetence Thurmond’s policies are not solely centered around students of in the White House. Our government will be progressive, principled and continued on page 16 always on the side of the people.”

Newsom Shares Manny Otiko | Contributor Photos by Robert Maryland

F

ormer Mayor of San Francisco and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom was sworn in as California’s 40th governor on Monday to the backdrop of serene gospel music provided by Comptonbased choir Voices of Destiny. Newsom’s first speech as governor touched on his vision for California and his plans to keep the Golden State in the national spotlight.

“This is a place where anything is possible,” said Newsom who was joined on stage by his wife and four children. During the speech, Newsom said that while California had many successes, such as Silicon Valley and Hollywood, there was also startling signs of wealth inequality. “We … face a homeless epidemic that should keep each and every one of us up at night,” he said.

Newsom thanked his predecessor, outgoing Gov. Jerry Brown, for eliminating the state’s deficit and leaving a surplus.

“Back then, we were $27 billion in debt. Unemployment above 12 percent. The worst credit rating of any state in our nation. Today, our economy is larger than all but four nations in the world. We’ve created nearly 3 million jobs and put away billions for a rainy day,” he said. According to Newsom, he wanted his policies to bring the state together.

“We will not have one house for the rich and one for the poor, or one for the native-born and one for the rest. We will build one house for one California,” said Newsom.

Newsom also touched on some of the areas that he planned to focus on such as supporting organized labor.

“Working people deserve fair pay, the right to join a union, and the chance at a middle-class life for themselves and their families,” he said.

Newsom also compared the success of California with the political chaos in Washington, D.C. “At a time when so much of America is divided, we are united. Our people are big-hearted and fair-minded, when those qualities are more vital than ever. I’ve seen that again in just the past few weeks,” said Newsom. (He recently visited Paradise, a community that was devastated by wildfires.)

Mark Ridley-Thomas, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said he was impressed by Newsom’s inclusive message. Ridley-Thomas also liked some of the topics Newsom touched on such as affordable housing, reducing child poverty and jobs. Newsom also quoted an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

Vision for California in Inauguration Speech “He talked about things that were relevant to African Americans statewide,” said Ridley-Thomas. “African Americans want to know what’s going to enhance their lives.”

Ridley-Thomas also gave a pointed message to Democrats who want to win the African American vote.

Newsom’s message was more than just being “antiTrump,” he said.

Another African American political insider also liked the speech. “Gavin Newsom is going to be a great governor. Today he showed his commitment to inclusion and highlighted the diversity of California through his inaugural ceremony. His speech was all-encompassing and set the tone that we are moving towards being one California,” said Taisha Brown, vice president of the African American Caucus, California Democratic Party.

Like Ridley-Thomas, Rev. Shane Harris, president and founder of the newly-formed national group, the People’s Alliance for Justice, a civil and human rights organization, was optimistic about Newsom’s speech.

He said the issues Newsom discussed, free community college, child welfare and the private prison industry, are all issues that resonate with African Americans.

“Many of the things he discussed affect the African American community and will be big in the African American community,” said Harris.

During his address, Newsom made a few other jabs at the Trump administration, especially its treatment of migrants on the border. “We will offer an alternative to the corruption and incompetence of the White House,” said Newsom. He was also critical of other areas such as drug companies’ price gouging, the gun lobby, polluters and the payday loan industry. “Here in California we have the power to stand up to them and we will,” said Newsom. He also said Washington had failed on climate change and praised Brown for his work on the issue.

Newsom has many big projects he plans to implement such as spending almost $2 billion on early childhood education. He also plans to make community college free. Newsom added that he looked forward to working with his Democratic colleagues in the legislature on his agenda. Democrats control both houses.

WVWD Rate Payers Association Continues its Quest for Transparency and Accountability

D

uring the West Valley Water District (WVWD) Board of Directors Meeting on December 20, 2018, by a vote of 3-2, the directors appointed Clarence Mansell, Jr., General Manager of the Hardy Brown, Sr. district. Mansell has served as acting General Manager Contributor for several months.

“We are pleased to see this appointment of Mr. Mansell,” stated Mr. Don Griggs, President of the WVWD Ratepayers Association. Griggs stressed how having “interim” staff at the top of any organization is viewed as unstable—like the Trump Administration in Washington, D.C. “Now, we have a General Manager that can help the Board focus on providing clean, safe, drinking water to the ratepayers,” he added.

Griggs went on to thank members of the board, including Dr. Michael Taylor—President, Kyle Crowther—Vice President and Director— Don Olinger, for making this decision—a decision the Ratepayers Association fully supported. In addition, the three board members did so over the objections of Directors Dr. Clifford Young and Greg Young.

Griggs continued, “This is good news to the employees in the district and community at large because of Mr. Mansell’s knowledge of the local community. He grew up and lives in the Inland Empire,” Griggs stressed. “He will be an asset to all of us in this position and a great example, especially for our African American youth.”

Griggs further noted how a career in the water industry is not often viewed as a place to seek employment. “So, his [Mansell’s] visibility will attract their attention just as other utilities company did back in the sixties when Blacks worked at Edison,” he concluded.

While I join in the congratulations on this appointment, I want to highlight that a year ago, Dr. Clifford Young and Greg Young led the charge to terminate/place on paid administrative leave, five of WVWD’s top management team including

WVWD Board of Directors: (Top row) Clarence Mansell, Jr.; General Manager, Dr. Mike Taylor; President, Greg Young; Director, (Bottom row) Kyle Crowther; Vice President, Dr. Clifford O. Young; Director, Don Olinger; Director

Board Secretary Shanae Smith, who was the highest paid Black employee at the district.

Smith had filed a complaint with the EEOC against Dr. Young in 2016, because of alleged harassment, intimidation and bullying because she would not go along with his wants, wishes and demands.

From a personal perspective, during that period, Dr. Young wrongly and inappropriately told several people in the community that I only attended board meetings because I had a personal grievance against him—not because I was seeking justice on behalf of Smith. He told them that there was no truth or validity to her complaint against him and that the complaint had been thrown out and done away with.

I want to inform the public and those he told that lie to, that according to the West Valley Water District Board minutes of May 3, 2018, Dr. Young settled with Smith after five months of Paid Administrative Leave for $83,000.00—this included her legal fees of about $15,000.00—not

bad for a case, Dr. Young claimed, was thrown out and had no validity.

I want to thank Don Griggs, President of West Valley Water District Ratepayers Association, Stan Futch, President of Westside Action Group, Dr. Paulette Brown Hinds, Publisher and S.E. Williams of the IE Voice/Black Voice News in Riverside for their commitment to stay on top of this story while others doubted whether the issue had merit.

Now, Mrs. Smith has her own personal fitness business in Riverside thanks to Dr. Clifford and Greg Young. Others WVWD leaders caughtup in this malfeasance have received similar settlements while others are still in negotiation.

One last thing regarding the actions of Dr. Young and Greg Young, is the legal cost to the district. In the last two years those costs have totaled over one million dollars and resulted in the cancellation of a $5 million insurance litigation policy. continued on page 17

2018 was a strange year for Dr. Young. He was removed from his post as President of the WVWD Board of Directors by fellow board members including the current President, Dr. Michael Taylor, Vice President Kyle Crowther, and board member Don Olinger, after they learned Dr. Young is under investigation by the California Attorney General’s Office.

The investigation resulted when, under the leadership of WVWD Ratepayers Association’s President Don Griggs, the organization filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practice Commission concerning a campaign political event held at Dr. Young’s direction on December 7, 2017. The event was coordinated by David Morgan a Republican Consultant and Dr. Young’s Campaign Manager.

Someone paid for the event the night it was held. This was evident when a December 8 invoice presented to Dr. Young by the Sierra Lakes Golf Club in Fontana where the event was hosted, reflected a zero balance.

We know that Dr. Young requested West Valley Water District reimburse him for a $1,897.43 invoice because it was documented in WVWD invoice records. The WVWD Cash Disbursement Report for January of 2018 showed Dr. Young was reimbursed for the event.

Apparently, the FPPC thought this documentation which was provided in support of the WVWD Rate Payers Association’s complaint, revealed a potential criminal violation. The complaint was subsequently forwarded to the state Attorney General’s Office for consideration and Griggs received written notification of their action.

Dr. Young and Greg Young are now taking a new approach in what appears to be a collaborated effort to object and obstruct anything the new leadership wants to do. However, their efforts are continuously failing by a vote of 3-2. The new leadership is forging ahead to bring transparency and civility to the board—they are treating each other and the general public with professionalism.

When President Taylor brought forth a new policy on Board decorum both Youngs opposed the idea even though Clifford Young had filed his own complaint with the FPPC (Compliant Number 06092017-01044) against former board member, Linda Gonzalez.

Next, when the opportunity came to hire a permanent General Manager to give stability to the organization, both Youngs once again objected and asked questions that had nothing to do with the selection since Mansell had been working in the job for the past several months. So, President Taylor called for the vote, and Clarence Mansell Jr. was appointed General Manager for West Valley Water District by a 3-2 vote.

I offer my congratulations to Clarence Mansell, Jr. on his appointment and extend my congratulations to Taylor, Crowther and Olinger for showing the courage to move forward in the best interest of the WVWD ratepayers they were elected to serve.

Govt Shutdown, continued from page 7

Those who believe the federal shut-down will not impact the inland region should consider— nearly one in three inland area households live in poverty. Many of these households are food insecure and depend on these federal food assistance programs to survive.

Last week, the federal government seemed to signal a long shut down was expected when the Office of Personnel Management extended unprecedented counselling to federal employees. It did so by posting a link to a memorandum of instructions which provides steps federal employees can follow to help them manage creditors during an extended closure of the government—including how to barter with landlords, etc. The memo includes sample letters to creditors.

More information about how to negotiate with creditors during the shutdown (including
