SBVC’s 2024 Wolverine Con and Inter national Student Film Fest: A Gateway to Holl ywood fr om the IE, Celebrates 1980s Sci-Fi and Fantasy

By Manny Sandoval

This year's theme is an ode to the 1980s science fiction and fantasy, promising engaging workshops, panels, an Expo/Arts Walk, the Animation Show of Shows, and much more

Briana Navarro, a KVCR Production Assistant and SBVC alumna, vividly recalls her first Wolverine Con experience, "It

has become a core memory! I remember Film Professor

Lucas Cuny encouraging me to submit my first short film Seeing the red carpet, my name printed next to my film title in the glossy pamphlet, even without a filmmaker's bio, sparked my journey as a filmmaker " This year, Briana returns triumphantly, having written and directed a feature film in Spring 2023 via FTVM 235, a cinema production course Her film is set to premiere after this year's broadcasted Red Carpet Event

Lucas Cuny, Chair of the SBVC Film, TV, and Media Department, shares his enthusiasm, "This year, we're bringing Hollywood to the Inland

Colton Commissioner s Embar k on Insightful Tour of RIX Facility, Unveiling Innovations in Wastewater Tr eatment

By Dr. G (Dr. Luis S González), community writer

On Thursday, January 18, Council Member Dr G (Dr Luis S González) hosted a tour of the RIX Facility on Agua Mansa and invited members of the Colton Utilities Commission and Planning Commission

Now serving on the RIX Board (Rapid Infiltration and Extraction), Dr G was interested in how that facility works and how it contributes to the overall wastewater processing in the City of Colton The Commissioners were invited to see the facility located at 1990 Agua Mansa Road and see this “tertiary” process up close, including filtration (through sand beds) and disinfection (through powerful radiation lamps) before being sent out to the Santa Ana River

The word “tertiary” is essential as the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is responsible for the primary and secondary treatment of wastewater coming from Colton, Grand Terrace, and a few parts of San Bernardino County For primary treatment, the wastewater (effluent) is conveyed to the WWTP and cleaned out by removing the “big stuff ” The secondary treatment cleans the effluent by separating the particles and adding microbes to kill bacteria At that point, the “cleaned” effluent is sent downhill to the RIX facility for final tertiary treatment

“I always felt that tours like this, when conducted by people who work on-site, are valuable because they provide so much insight that most people don’t realize,” said Commissioner Eric Strutz, who added, “This process was exciting to see ” Commissioner Tish Baden also commented, “It’s nice to learn about the process of treating waste-

water and how the RIX facility ties into the City’s treatment plant ”

Leading the tour was a team of experts from the RIX Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and water/wastewater specialists from the San Bernardino Water Department The JPA owns and operates the RIX facility, an agreement authority between The City of San Bernardino (80%) and the City of Colton (20%) Dr G and Mr Brian Dickinson, Colton’s Director of Utilities, sit on this Board

Built-in 1994, the RIX facility has served both cities well in that it meets all “stringent” legal requirements for treating wastewater, and releases clean water after treatment into the Santa Ana River, thus supporting the needs of several downstream cities and protecting the habitat of endangered species, such as the Santa Ana Sucker Fish

This was an excellent opportunity for all the commissioners and an effective collaboration among several agencies responsible for the maintenance and security of this facility and this process The participants will be congratulated for learning about this vital aspect of city services

The event, co-sponsored by San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and the San Bernardino County

Rosalie Marie Hernandez or Leah, as she is best known to friends and family, passed away on January 7, 2024, just 2 weeks after her 95th birthday

Leah was born in Bakersfield, CA, on December 25, 1928 She was the third of eleven children of Fred A Lopez I and Lillian Gallegos The Lopez family with New Mexican roots dated back to the 17th century, moved to San Bernardino in 1935 It was here the Lopez family became part of the community fabric by attending schools, colleges, and through meaningful employment in service to society It was not easy growing up during the Great Depression and the turmoil of World War II with limited resources

While working at a neighborhood market, Leah met a young returning soldier, Arturo E ‘Tudy’ Hernandez, who she would marry in 1946 In January, 1947, their son, Andrew ‘Andy’ was born, despite a difficult birth that left both Leah and Andy’s survival in question In August, 1951, Tudy and Leah welcomed daughter Cecelia Audrey and in September, 1957 daughter Frances Anne

Employed as an Operating Engineer, Tudy worked on freeways, air fields,

and dams all throughout California The family lived in a trailer to be close to his work While the family often relocated, Leah adjusted to new surroundings and her outgoing personality made it easy to meet new friends Shortly after the birth of Francis, the family returned to the Inland Empire, eventually settling on Encina Ave in Rialto Tudy and Leah would live in that home together until his passing on January 7, 1989, and her passing on January 7, 2024, exactly 35 years apart

Loving and helping others was one of Leah’s core beliefs, exemplified through volunteer work and her gifts and talents of writing, cooking and sewing Throughout her life, Leah was involved in Girl Scouts, spent two generations helping at J C Boyd Elementary School and volunteered at San Bernardino Community Hospital for over 25 years Ever inclusive, she welcomed all into her home, especially in her kitchen “Leah’s Kitchen” was a family and neighborhood favorite for comforting home cooked meals and gatherings Leah was a skilled seamstress, and sewed countless costumes, blankets, stuffed balls and dolls for family and friends She practiced her craft well into her 90’s Leah loved writing

District Attorney’s office, saw students presenting their cases before a real judge, utilizing constitutional amendments and legal objections

Redlands High School Team Blue is now gearing up for the California Mock Trial Finals where they will compete against teams from 35 different counties

Since the 1982-1983 school year, a Redlands High School Mock Trial team has won the county competition a total of 16 times The last time a Redlands High School team secured a county competition victory was in the 2019 – 2020 school year Notably, the team emerged victorious in the state competition during the 2014 – 2015 and 1996 - 1997 school years

On Jan 11, the Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation (C A S E ) and the San Bernardino County Sheriff ’s Department partnered with High Desert Church in Victorville to host a symposium aimed at raising awareness about human trafficking prevention efforts in San Bernardino County The sym-

posium served as a platform to educate the community about ongoing initiatives to combat human trafficking

One highlight of the event was a powerful keynote speech delivered by Russel G Wilson, a survivor of human trafficking and prevention advocate His impactful insights shed light on a critical aspect of the crisis that is often overlooked – the susceptibility of men and boys to human

trafficking Wilson’s personal account provided a unique perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding that human trafficking affects individuals irrespective of gender

Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to engage in various workshops and trainings led by experts dedicated to providing services for those impacted by human trafficking

These workshops offered valuable information on the complexities of human trafficking and provided insights into specific issues such as fentanyl awareness, sextortion, mental wellness, and the evolving landscape of human trafficking The range of services available for survivors was also highlighted during these informative sessions

In a first for the Inland Empire, a new neurodiversity space opens for people with and without autism, ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia and other ways of experiencing the world differently, Feb 5, 10:30am-12pm, at California State University, San Bernardino, 5500 University Parkway Pfau Library Room 4005, in San Bernardino

The kick off includes: a performance by musician Adin Boyer from the worldrenowned neurodiversity inclusion performing arts group The Miracle Project, speakers from university leadership and community leaders, and tours of the space Event details: https://www csusb edu/event/577887

Known as “The Cognitive Collective: A space for neuroharmony, neuroconnection and neurodiversity,” or simply “The Cog” for short, the new neurodiversity space is for people with and without disabilities and their allies

The space is open Monday-Thursday weekly during the academic year with regular free programming, a sensory lending library, a disability inclusion reading library, a sensory-friendly space, the uplifting of scholarship by neurodiverse campus scholars, maker time, coaching, mentoring, observance of major disability inclusion related dates, neurodiversity-related film screenings, and more All programming and offerings are FREE More information: https://www csusb edu/ssd/neurodiversity-center

The terms neurodiversity and neurodivergent build on the ideas that there are many different ways of experiencing the world, and that DEI and social justice frameworks can expand and grow by including a diversity of sensory, neurology or cognitive processing

Said Dr Jess Block Nerren Ed D APR, Faculty Inclusion Fellow for Disability, Difference and Accommodation and one of the co-creators of the neurodiversity space, “The creation of this neurodiver-

sity space is proof of concept The Cog grew out of a vision by neurodiverse self advocates on our campuses and in our communities College life is for all people with and without disabilities and I'm happy that the Cog works collaboratively with campus partners to bring to bear all of the robust offerings a university has to offer "

Director of Services to Students with Disabilities Lori Palmerton MS, LMFT, said, “We are so excited to be part of the historic journey of the neurodiversity space coming to life this academic year from concept to completion In the future it would be amazing for there to be more allocation of space, resources and beyond for this space to not only serve our students, staff, faculty and community, but really to become a hub, a gathering point, and a lightning rod for neurodiversity practices and scholarship throughout the region ”

Said Associate Vice President for Faculty Development and Chief Academic Technologies Officer Dr Bradford Owen, “The Cog is an amazing new re-

source and focal point for the conversation on neurodiversity inclusion In addition to programming for students, there is also a wealth of faculty resources, such as those for the self advocate and faculty panels providing professional development in the FCE Quality research collaborations among students, staff and faculty will originate from the Cog, which amplifies the voices of an underserved population on our campus and beyond We are proud of the visionaries creating this groundbreaking, inclusive and multidisciplinary space which will serve so many ”

Rep. Aguilar and Sen. Padilla Announce $63 Million f or Electric Vehicle Infrastr uctur e

Community News

On January 19, Rep

Pete Aguilar announced alongside

U S Senator Alex Padilla that the state will be receiving $63,702,988 from the

U S Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator to repair and replace existing, non-operational publicly accessible EV charging ports

Currently, transportation is responsible for approximately 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and 80 percent of air pollutants in California By increasing the number of reliable, functional EV chargers across the state, this project is expected to lower carbon emissions and improve the health of residents by decreasing air pollution in the region

“I’m proud that California is receiving this critical funding as we work to combat climate change and improve the health of Californians,” said Rep Pete Aguilar “This transition to clean, zero-emission vehicles will bring more good-

paying job opportunities and decrease air pollution for Inland Empire residents ”

“Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, California will receive nearly $64 million to improve EV charging stations across the state,” said Senator Alex Padilla “Accelerating the adoption of an electric-vehicle powered future requires a strong, reliable, accessible charging network across the state ”

“This funding will allow California to continue to lead the nation in zero-emission-vehicle adoption, increasing reliability and cutting planet-warming pollution,” said California State Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin “We want to thank the Biden-Harris Administration, Sen Alex Padilla, and the state’s Congressional delegation for supporting the expansion of a charging network throughout the state while combatting climate change ”

This grant was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Rep Aguilar and Senator Padilla helped pass in 2021
