EDITOR’S NOTE We have some remarkable people in the Central Valley, we really do. This issue’s cover story on Breaking the Chains was a huge reminder of that for me, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with their founder to conduct the interview. I drove up to their office with my biggest concern of the day being that I make sure I had adequately done my research and drafted great questions. Hers? A few hundred notches above mine. The entire interview was peppered with the buzzing, ringing, and *dinging* of notifications on her cell phone, the ringing of her desk phone, and periodic bouts of “Hang on a sec…” and rushing out the door. The CEO of this non-profit was neck deep in making the type of decisions that change people’s lives - I was just seeing a tiny sample of what a single day looks like. We were in the middle of one of my probing questions when she announced that a rescue situation needed her attention, a girl in the bay area needed a place to be kept safe and did BTC “have room?” Debra’s hands were perpetually full with the futures of women who were in some of the most critical points of their existence. And you know how she handles it? Buoyantly. For someone who carries a considerable amount of weight on her shoulders, she was surprisingly upbeat.

I’m not sure what I expected… perhaps a hardened stare and an unflinching bullshit detector… although, I’m sure she has that last one down pat. It struck me as incredible that someone who not only bears the weight of so much but who has also survived so much could be so optimistic and cheerful. It reminds me of the story we did on We Are Not Invisible Foundation while focusing on the homeless issues in Fresno. The founder, Desiree... man, she could fill a room with that laugh - yet, every day she works from sunup to sundown taking care of the street homeless; feeding them, clothing them, finding shelter for them, and keeping them as safe as what her resources allow. They both have one thing in common - they each clawed their way out of a maelstrom of adversity. Not only did they make it out alive, they decided to go back for everyone still left in the trenches. And maybe that’s the reason - finding your purpose in pulling others out from the same chaos and turmoil you survived - every day is filled with hope and that alone is a reason to keep smiling. The work that each of these organizations does is filled with compassion, kindness, and is a testament to the sheer will and tenacity capable in the human spirit. It inspires me, and I hope that dear reader, it inspires you as well.

BTC // SPOTLIGHT

BREAKING THE CHAINS An organization dedicated to helping victims find life beyond their trauma by Lisa Talley | lisa@fresnoflyer.com

uman Trafficking is the ugly buzz word that has been on the rise in Fresno’s ear increasingly within the last few years. The high rates of concentrated poverty, the suspiciously discreet location of motels along Golden State, and the proverbial ‘sweepunder-the-rug’ attitude of political big wigs of the past – Fresno became the perfect incubator for the rampant growth of a seedy industry for more than three decades. But the covers are coming off and organizations, both locally and nationally, are rolling up their sleeves to tackle the disease that is the sex trafficking industry head-on. Breaking The Chains (BTC) is a local, 501c(3) non-profit organization fully immersed in rescuing victims of sex trafficking. While law enforcement hunts down the abusers and dismantles whole circles of ‘business,’ Breaking the Chains is there for the victims – to help them put back the pieces and find a life that exists beyond their trauma. “Human Trafficking is a very complex issue, it looks different across the board, and touches every walk of life … Everyone’s healing process is different, so is everyone’s level of trauma,” explains CEO and Co-Founder, Debra Rush, “We are complete comprehensive wrap-around service providers, everything from the simplest of needs which would be food, shelter, medication, m e d i c a l attention, and mental health treatment to things like life skills classes, and trauma therapy courses.” The road to recovery for each victim varies, but by all means is not short or could be even be categorized as ‘straightforward.’ BTC has no set exit date for the

girls in their program; however, the average is anywhere from 9 months to 2 years, although it remains on a case-by-case basis. Rush often compares the trauma suffered by victims, and its aftermath, to that of a combat veteran with complex PTSD – more specifically, of those from the Vietnam era. “I’m a social worker, and I’ve worked with that population, with CPS, and studied different statistics. I helped with Real Change Fresno with the homeless population – it was eye-opening for me to look at some of our veterans – why they were out there, homeless, why there was a high rate of drug use and alcohol abuse. And then, why is there a difference in what we’re seeing with some of our Afghanistan vets? It’s intensive counseling and debriefings when they come home,” Rush shares. Service members from the Vietnam War were being shipped home without any trauma therapy, only to be given a job and sent on their way. Although PTSD remains a deeply layered issue with no clearcut solution, the military has evolved its process in bringing combat veterans home – with debriefings, counseling, etc. Likewise, victims of sex trafficking also require the same level of intensive therapy and rehabilitation to reintegrate themselves safely, and healthily back into the world. There’s often a misconception that victims can be rescued,

”

given a few resources, a class, and then immediately placed into society without issue when, to the contrary, it’s a lengthy, intricate process. Rush states that “It’s like having a domestic violence victim – because most girls believe they are loved – meshed with a combat tour to Vietnam on the front lines followed by a stint in a P.O.W. camp for a year then rescued and then dropped off on a corner with a job.” The notion that a person who has suffered that level of trauma is rescued, and in some respect made whole again, merely because they’re no longer in an abusive environment is misguided. Removing the victim from a terrible situation is just the first step. Furthermore, victims have to come to the realization that they are, in fact, victims before the healing process can begin. A shocking realization for outsiders, but it’s something BTC expects to work through as a crucial turning point. The organization understands how girls are lured and/or

abducted into sex trafficking in the first place – they were convinced, manipulated, into believing that it was their choice. Rush educates that one of the core components of trafficking a child (victims are often underage and as young as 13) is making them believe that this is what they want. “It’s the leash that keeps them there.” Reprogramming that way of thinking is a vital part of a victim’s rehabilitation process – watching a girl make the connection, or rather, break the psychological leash and understand that she has value far and away above sex is “better than getting a million bucks” for BTC. But that breakthrough is only the beginning – as painful memories can be easily triggered through smells, colors, locations, and sometimes, a tone of voice – the road to recovery is long and full of hard work for both BTC and survivor. Access to potential victims has grown over the years as social media developed

both dramatically and exponentially, abusers are able to assume whatever persona necessary to achieve their goal. BTC recommends that parents become actively involved in their children’s lives when it comes to their social circles, both virtually and in-person, by asking pertinent questions such as what a friend’s birthday is, where they live, who their parents are, who are some of that person’s other friends, etc. Apps and devices have come out on the market that helps parents create filters and monitor internet usage. Circle with Disney comes recommended by Rush as the service allows parents to manage every device that has the ability to connect to the Internet. Parents can see which sites are visited and how often, they’re able to turn the Internet on and off to specific devices at any given time for any length of time and create custom filters for each member of the family. Human Trafficking can and does affect every walk of life, “However, most victims are coming out of the broken foster care system – 70/80%. These pimps are smart; they know that if they come into the average, working-class family’s home and take a kid, it’s going to be all over [the news]

but if a girl runs away from a group home… the most that will happen is the head of the group home will call [local police] and file a report,” explains Rush. There would be no wanted posters, no state-wide manhunt, nothing – police may come across the missing child or they may not. There are also those who weren’t abducted into sex trafficking but were born into it. Second generation victims whose entire understanding of the modern world is wrapped around their oppressive environment. And one of the most identifying characteristics of Breaking the Chains is their ability to efficiently understand both perspectives. “I’m not only the founder; I’m a survivor. I’m not just a survivor but a secondgeneration survivor. I was literally born into human trafficking. So, I have a very unique perspective,” shares Rush. BTC provides victims with a comprehensive program to help them reintegrate alongside with helping them deal with their trauma; Addiction Treatment, Case Management, Education/Job Training,

| FRESNO FLYER |

Education and Job Support, Long-term Housing, Survivor Leadership, and Transitional Housing. A full range of programs painstakingly put together with the personal touch of first-hand knowledge and experience in what victims need. And the need is growing. Over the three years of operation, BTC has consistently pushed its capacity every day (rescuing 86 women and children in 2017 alone) and as a result, plans to expand into a new 1.2-million-dollar facility is currently in the works. As it stands, the building is in the design stages and will hopefully be built over the next two years. It’ll act as a 24hour drop-in center working with local law enforcement and first responders in rescue situations. Volunteers are also a big part of BTC’s ability to meet the needs of the girls in their programs – and more are encouraged to lend a helping hand. The opportunities are entry-level and include driving, safe-house supervision (various shifts, spend time with the residents and assist in making sure they stay on task), donor coordination, and even those willing to roll up their sleeves to help organize donations in storage units. College students and young adults are highly encouraged to apply for the upcoming youth program. Volunteers are needed to help lead sports activities, facilitate classes, take part in mentoring opportunities, and overall, spend quality time with the kids in the program by doing things as simple as playing video

games. Anyone interested in volunteering with Breaking the Chains can reach the organization directly by calling 559-4023955 or emailing info@btcfresno.org. Breaking the Chains will also be a recipient of a fundraiser hosted by Granville for their annual Home of Hope event. Participants will have a chance to win a brand-new home valued at $400,000 along with a 2-year lease to a 2018 Lexus – there will also be additional prizes in the shape of weekend getaways, electronics, and fine dining opportunities. The drawing is limited to 6,000 tickets in total and will take place on April 25 for the two-ticket bundle drawing (for the home and lease of the Lexus) and on May 2 for the grand prize. Proceeds from every ticket purchased through BTC will go back to BTC to help fund their various programs in support of human trafficking victims. For more information on purchasing tickets call 559-402-3955. The difference Breaking the Chains makes not only within the local community but also in the fight against human trafficking as a whole is undoubtedly due to the tireless dedication of Founder, Debra Rush, the BTC staff, and the diligent hard work of the local law enforcement agencies; but it’s also due to the level of community support BTC receives. It’s individuals and organizations alike who contribute their time and talents or donate supplies that help make sure BTC is always ready to carry out the lifechanging work that they do.

Fosters Needed for Nursing Litters By Will Freeney | memo247365@gmail.com

pring is in the air, and babies are everywhere. We all love to fawn over darling new babies, but for us humans, that prospect is a year-round opportunity. For our four-legged friends, it is a seasonal activity, and that season is upon us. While we hope for a loving, capable, caring parent for every human baby, we may not think much about the fate of furry babies, but now is the time to do so. Friends of Madera Animal Shelter is currently seeking foster parents for their bottle babies. To grasp the scope of their needs, consider that the shelter receives a set of bottle babies every other day on average. Each of those sets (litters) can comprise two to seven babies. Their mothers have been spayed and sent to the Bay Area for adoption. The babies, in their turn, will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. All you need, as a prospective foster, is to be at least 18 years old, own your own home or have your landlord’s permission, have a passion for saving lives, and a dedication to caring for your fosters. All the rest will be supplied by the Madera animal shelter: orientation and training for you and medical care, food, crates, beds/blankets, and bottles for your babies. That dedication you provide is significant. You are encouraged to keep a journal of their development while in your care,

| MARCH 22 & 29, 2018

which can be included in their adoption biography. Your daily activities include keeping the babies warm with a heating pad for their first few weeks, feeding them every two hours, and giving them lots of loving attention. Bottle feeding is not an activity that can be done intuitively without training, but the shelter will provide all the training and assistance you need to do it successfully. Someone else has already appropriated the motto “Give the Gift of Life,” but that is certainly what you would be doing as a foster. The reward-to-effort ratio is astronomical if you love animals – and you obviously should to be a foster. Once the babies are well and weaned, they will be ready for adoption into forever homes, and you can, if you choose, proceed to your next foster. At this point, your question should be, “How do I sign up?” If that is the case, please contact Letty Robles at 559-363-5105. Friends of Madera Animal Shelter can also be reached at their Facebook page or their website (www.fmas. info). Orientations are offered on the third Saturday of every month from 10:00am to 12:00pm at the Madera Animal Shelter, 14269 Road 28, Madera, CA 93638. Welcome spring and welcome a new four-legged baby into your home. Happy fostering!

Under Your Nose THE FRESNO WATER TOWER

By Will Freeney | memo247365@gmail.com

ater towers are a universal fixture of the American landscape – providing a clean, gravity-fed water supply for the communities they serve. Their design has changed over the years, and various communities have used them as a means of advertising their presence, their town motto, and in some cases their whimsy. Nowhere, however, has a water tower been envisioned

10 | MARCH 22 & 29, 2018

and manifested with such elegance, forethought, and unique style as the Fresno Water Tower. As you criss-cross downtown Fresno, going about your business, pre-occupied with which one-way street you can take to get where you’re going and where you can find a vacant parking space, you might overlook the Fresno Water Tower. It is not exceptionally tall

| FRESNO FLYER |

by modern standards, and in fact, the water tank was disguised by the third-floor level walls of the tower. Perhaps you did look over at it in passing and think, “Hmm, what a quaint adobe cylinder, here on the edge of this park.” (Eaton Plaza) The water tower’s history goes all the way back to the 19th century chronologically and all the way back to Germany geographically and Chicago financially. Fresno Water Works was established in 1876 by partners George McCullough and Lyman Andrews. They, in turn, sold it to a group of Chicago investors for $140,000 in 1890. In 1893 that company hired George Washington Maher to design an elegant new water tower for the city. Maher provided a design that was inspired by a water tower in Worms, Germany. G.W. Maher designed what you can see today at the corner of O Street and Fresno Street. His plan called for the lower interior portion of the tower to serve as a library. Although that function was never pursued, the original structure matched Maher’s blueprint in every other detail. The tower consists of two portions: the upper of the three story levels contains a 250,000 gallon tank, which weighed over two million pounds when full (the tank was decommissioned and emptied in 1963). Throughout its entire height, the tower consists of two walls. In the lower 30 feet of the tower, the outer wall is separated from the inner wall and slopes in-

ward to join it at the 30-foot mark – creating a wrap around tunnel at the base and providing cantilevered support for the structure. Above that point, the inner wall slopes together to form the domed ceiling of the lower room while the outer wall continued upward to mask the water tank. The lower portion, below the tank is an open two-story room with walls that slope to a dome at 45 feet above the floor. Originally, there was a spiral staircase in

the center, providing access to the second story balcony. All of this was included in Maher’s plans. At some point, the spiral staircase was removed, but it can be seen in the short-lived 1986 television series, “Fresno.” The history of ownership and use of the water tower is as complicated as that of its design. The city of Fresno acquired the water tower in 1931. Its use as a water tower had been abandoned by 1963 when the water tank was emptied. Subsequently it was used by the city as a parking meter and water meter repair facility. In 2001 it was repur-

posed as a visitor center operated by the Fresno Convention and Visitors Bureau. The water tower’s latest chapter began in October 2014, when the Fresno Arts Council took over operation. Under their auspices it still functions as the City of Fresno visitor information center – with a wide array of complimentary brochures and maps regarding local points of interest. The water tower now also functions as the Fresno Arts Council gift shop and gallery. The FAC Water Tower gallery is an official ArtHop venue, with a featured artist of the month showing their work. There is also a wide array of local artists with longer term exhibits in the Water Tower, including many well-known Fresno-area artisans as well as budding younger creatives. The products offered range from paintings in all media to photography to ceramics and textiles. There is also a sizeable selection of books by local authors about local topics – including esteemed native son, William Saroyan. All of this, plus the assistance of volunteer docent/curator/ cashiers, is available inside the Fresno Water Tower, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. The next time you have some time downtown, take the time to witness the unique architectural history and the accessible contemporary art residing at the southwest corner of Fresno and O Streets, adjacent to Eaton Plaza.

The Sisterhood of Survivors by Lisa Talley | lisa@fresnoflyer.com

he Sisterhood of Survivors (SOS) will be hosting their annual fundraiser themed ‘Girls’ Night Out’ on April 11th at the Clovis Veteran’s Memorial Building from 4-8pm. Girls’ Night Out is all about pampering yourself – and helping to raise money in support of educational programs and resources for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. In keeping with their mission, the non-profit will also continue to provide ongoing support for patients as they seek treatment by providing peer support and further educational resources. The free, fundraising event will see a variety of vendors for guests to choose from, food, crafts, games, raffle prizes and a silent auction. Some of the silent auction items will have been donated by a Sisterhood of Survivors supporter, Orchard Hardware Supply, who also volunteers time to help prepare the fundraising venue for the event. Also attending again this year is Jodi Jo with KISS Country 93.7 – the radio personality is a breast cancer survivor and advocate who has maintained a “very uplifting spirit” according to SOS supporter and board member, Shary Wofford. Proceeds from the event will go towards packaging and delivering ‘Totes’ to breast cancer patients, the most recent of which have included: The Breast Book by Dr. Susan Love (resource book) SOS Brochure and Monthly Luncheon Meetings information Educational materials: Questions to ask your doctor – Komen, Take Care of Yourself – Komen, Treatment Decisions – Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Guide for the newly diagnosed – LBBC, Exercises after Surgery – American Cancer Society, Follow up after Breast Cancer Treatment. Knitted cap (handmade and donated by The Hatbox Foundation)

The attendees of each luncheon number anywhere from 20-25, include women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. The monthly meeting takes place at the Denny’s located on Willow and Shaw, every 3rd Saturday at noon in a private room at the back of the restaurant.
