“Much of the trash that we pick up in more centralized locations include cups, napkins, and fast food packaging. Along the freeway entrances we often find clothing, car parts, wood, and all types of trash.

And in alley ways throughout Colton you can find larger items such as furniture, tires and a ton of other random items,” continued Dr. G. One item of nuisance around the city involves the trash thrown on the floor near bus stops, when a trash can is literally steps away.

“When cleaning up the city we’ll often find an influx of trash near bus stops and homeless encampments. I’ve also been in the McDonald’s parking lot and have literally seen a person throw their garbage out the window, so I went and picked it up,” said Dr. G. He credits his love and pride for Colton as his reason for taking the initiative to clean the city every week.

“I do this because Colton is my hometown and I don’t like looking at trash on my street or any street. There continues to be so much trash throwing and illegal dumping in our alleys…and that’s the reason why I will continue to help beautify our city in any way that I can,” concluded Dr. G. To anyone interested in assisting the G Team beautify the city, contact Dr. G directly at (909) 213-3730.

About 10 bags of trash are collected on February 4, along Rancho Avenue in Colton.

“She was the most loving person, so giving, she gave me her all, she put so much into everything she did,” Melinda shared. “I don’t understand why someone like her is taken so soon.”

Michelle knack for it,” Melinda shared.

“She was so down to earth and connected with people, she established relationships.”

According to Melinda, Michelle earned an associate degree in Christian Leadership from The Way Leadership University but needed financial assistance to purchase her cap and gown, and other expenses; Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes stepped In and paid those expenses.

After volunteering for three years, Michelle joined the team at Option House as a Domestic Violence Advocate in 2019, taking the lead in case management and support, and became a key trainer.

According to Option House Executive Director Heather Stevning, Michelle also created and headed a support group for victims of domestic violence at the homeless shelter and administrative office.

“She would share her personal survival stories; her heart was just in it, her compassion for others was exemplary,” Heather remarked. “Everybody loved her, she always walked the extra mile for everybody. She is sorely missed.”

Michelle managed to find time to dedicate herself to the Way World Outreach for many years as a Children’s Ministry Leader, and worked with women who struggled with drugs, physical abuse, domestic violence and abandonment.

“She encouraged a lot of women to get a grip on life and to trust in the Lord,” The Way World Outreach Pastor Robert Vega said.

“Her heart was there for those who were broken. She was an amazing young woman, a great mother. I can’t say enough about her.”

Michelle was the sole provider for her children and mother, Joann Lopez, for whom Melinda has launched a GoFundMe page to help pay for the day-to-day expenses - rent, food, utilities, etc. (link at bottom), including Michelle’s “farewell” services.

Colton residents can utilize CR&R Environmental Services and it offers five bulk item pick-ups free of charge. For more information, call (909) 370-3377.

RAFFMA celebrates African American ar tists of Paulson Fontaine Press in vir tual exhibit

n celebration of Black History Month, the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art (RAFFMA) at Cal State San Bernardino presents “Personal to Political: Celebrating the African American Artists of Paulson Fontaine Press.” The exhibition will be on display virtually starting Saturday, Feb. 6, and will run until Saturday, April 10. A formal online reception will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 4 p.m.

This exciting exhibition features works by African American artists who have helped to shape the contemporary art conversation in the Bay Area and beyond. The show covers a wide range of prints, paintings, quilts and sculptures, and includes an array of abstract and formal imagery. Narratives that speak to personal experiences and political perspectives are woven throughout.

At the heart of this show is a Berkeley-based fine art print studio – Paulson Fontaine Press – who over the past two decades has developed an unparalleled roster of internationally celebrated artists, such as Martin Puryear, Kerry James Marshall, and the Gee’s Bend Quilters, who characterize the fresh perspectives that are today’s avant-garde.

This exhibition is organized by the Bedford Gallery and will travel nationally through 2021.

About Paulson Fontaine Press Established in Emeryville in 1996, Paulson Fontaine Press, formerly Paulson Bott Press, is known for amplifying important, often underrepresented, voices in the visual arts. In 1997, after hearing the painter Kerry James Marshall give a talk about the dearth of Black voices and representation in major museums and art institutions, co-founder Pam Paulson realized there was a vacuum to be filled.

Through their fine art publishing program, Paulson Fontaine Press reaches new audiences for African American artists across the country. Artists include Chicago-based McArthur Binion, who is known for bringing a personal narrative into the reductive materialism of minimalism; Samuel Levi Jones, known for compositions created from deconstructed institutional texts; Bay Area artist Lava Thomas, whose multidisciplinary practice considers themes of social justice, female subjectivity, current events and the shifting tides of history; and Edgar Areneaux, a Los Angeles native who has been a pivotal leader of the Watts House Project, an effort to revitalize the Watts community through art.

About the importance of this focus at the press, Rhea Fontaine, co-owner of the Paulson Fontaine Press, states: “People like William Arnett, who supported the Gee’s

Bend Quilters, and Lowery Stokes Sims, whose pioneering work at the Metropolitan Museum and the Studio Museum in Harlem introduced so many minority artists to larger audiences-these are the people who are taking risks that others aren’t willing to take, saying things that other people aren’t willing to say, seeing things that other people are not seeing. We’ve always tried to connect ourselves with that type of visionary. Because of them, a handful of these really talented artists have become known to us and the world at large.”

Featured Artists: Gee’s Bend Quilters: Gee’s Bend is a small, rural African American community that is surrounded on three sides by the Alabama River.

The women of Gee’s Bend create quilted masterpieces that are both functional and unique, and combine artisanship and ingenuity.

Their storied crafting tradition dates back to the 1920s, and their works – created out of necessity for their homes – are an inspiring and vital part of American art history. In addition to prints, this exhibition includes quilts by the Gee’s Bend Quilters.

David Huffman: David Huffman depicts the African American experience and “the stereotypical signifiers of this history.” He uses humor to bridge fantasy and real-

ity with his depictions of figures in astronaut garb (known as Traumanauts), conducting their daily activities. On the surface, some of the Traumanaut images are playful, but a deeper look reveals Huffman’s perspective on politics, culture and our relationship to the earth and urban environments.

Kerry James Marshall: Born in Alabama in 1955 and raised in Watts, Los Angeles, Kerry James Marshall’s work delves into the history of African American identity. He explores political themes and focuses on Western art and its absence of black subjects. His paintings bring people to the forefront who have previously been invisible – the African American woman, artist, master and actor.

Martin Puryear: Sculptor, Martin Puryear’s love of natural materials and traditional crafting methods employ wood, mesh, stone and metal to create forms that resist

identification. As one of the most lauded contemporary artists, Puryear’s work has been exhibited across the country at the MOMA New York and National Gallery of Art. His list of awards includes a Guggenheim Fellowship, a MacArthur Foundation award, the Gold Medal in Sculpture by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the National Medal of Arts.

Lava Thomas: Lava Thomas’s work is influenced by themes of social justice and feminist discourse, past and present. Her hair portraits and mirrored tambourines are quintessentially personal.

Opening Reception: Saturday, Feb. 27, 4-5:30 p.m.

Registration and more information can be found at the RAFFMA’s Personal to Political webpage.

Back to school during a pandemic: How to do it safely

By Jenny Manrique

organization.

ince the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of her children’s school in Los Angeles and obliged the family to move into distance learning without much knowledge, Karla Franco feels that in addition to being a mother, she has had to learn to be a teacher, a counselor and even an expert in electronic devices.

“These (incidents) include verbal attacks, refusal of service (of teaching) and physical assaults, which puts the well-being of our API children at increased risk…

They heard negative things before schools closed down and now that we’re all virtual, they’ve seen antiasian rhetoric on social media sites that they frequently visit.”

S

For Vora, the fact that one in three APIs have limited English proficiency requires schools to do “an effective job of communicating with parents who speak another language.”

Overwhelmed by her new tasks and the lack of support for parents who found themselves immersed in a remote education model in response to the virus, Franco has become a fierce community leader in her school district in southern California where, as in the rest of the country, there is fierce debate over reopening schools safely.

“What I think and hear from other parents in general is that going back to school is not safe,” Franco said at a news briefing hosted by Ethnic Media Services on Feb 5. “The school district never protected our students or our campus, not even before the pandemic. I have asked the superintendent: if you cannot control what you see, how will you control this virus that you cannot see?

All of us are in danger ”.

Franco insists that not only school personnel and teachers should be protected, but also parents who, according to her, are seen as “the enemy” for raising complaints and concerns to principals.

“We don’t have to think about money. We have to think about our lives,” she added.

The question of how and when to reopen public schools has become “perhaps the most contentious issue in the country,” according to Louis Freedberg Executive Director of EdSource, a leading national news site on education. While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that it is safe for students to go to school even if teachers have not been vaccinated, teacher unions and parents have less confidence in the safety of the school environment and the response capacity of its officials in the event of a virus outbreak.

In Chicago for example, amid threats of a strike, the school district reached a tentative agreement with the Chicago Teachers Union to reopen schools in pre-kinder and kindergarten. The city of San Francisco filed a lawsuit against its own school district in an effort to reopen in-person instruction, and Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino proposed a resolution to file a similar lawsuit against LAUSD. In addition to the general exhaustion from the number of hours spent on screens, students of color in major urban districts are losing ground the longer they are out of the classroom. As their communities have experienced the most devastating effects of the virus, they are also the most fragile in their emotional health.

“Out of the 1.9 trillion (from the stimulus package) a lot more money should go to schools and counselors. Whatever needs to be done to ensure that marginalized students are being supported right first and foremost,” Bora said.

Clockwise from top left: Louis Freedberg, Executive Director of EdSource; Tyrone Howard, Director of the Black Male Institute at UCLA; Akil Vohra, Executive Director of Asian American LEAD; Karla Franco, Los Angeles parent; Bernita Bradley, National Parents Union.

“Socio-emotional support is not available in our schools. It never has been available,” said Bernita Bradley, the midwest delegate for the National Parents Union, speaking from Detroit. “We have districts with one nurse covering about four different schools across the city, and yet the parents are expected to trust the school and just send their kids back into the buildings.”

In cities like Detroit, the disparities in education are glaring: here only 16% of students in third grade have the required reading level and 38% of households do not have an internet connection. In affluent districts, technology and teachers prepared to use it made a huge difference in the online learning impact for parents and students. But African-American families, who have historically distrusted the educational system, were left behind.

“Just in June some of our students got laptops or tablets… Suddenly second graders had to turn in assignments in 30 days to receive a grade. And they have no instructor,” said Bradley, who believes it is time to reimagine education because online teaching is “not working”.

“When some schools opened up in the summertime, we had kids who came up positive (for the coronavirus test). Where are the checks and balances to make sure people are really socially distancing? … The plan is that we all get vaccinated but our survey showed that only 55% of parents say they will.”

Safety is the priority Safety against the contagion of COVID-19 has become the first factor to be discussed in the reopening plans, above the education model itself, according to Dr. Tyrone Howard, professor of education at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and

“The fact that children have lost loved ones, mothers, fathers, grandparents, caregivers, aunts and uncles is serious and significant,” Howard said. “Many schools do not have the bandwidth to invest in social workers, counselors or therapists and as we do reopen kids are grieving, suffering from anxiety and depression and the schools will not have the support in place to assist them.

“This has a particular effect on black, brown and indigenous children whose behavior can change dramatically by these traumatic experiences, which are punished with suspensions and expulsions. “ Howard considers that in addition to the social-emotional well-

This has been a topic of special interest to the Asian American student community. The racist rhetoric about the origin of the virus promoted by the previous administration has led to “the rise of harassment and bullying,” said Akhil Vora, executive director of the Asian American Lead (AALead)

Despite fears across the board, epidemiological evidence suggests that children are the population with the lowest risk of contracting COVID-19 and with a stronger immune system to survive it. Several studies indicate that transmission of the virus among students, especially in elementary school, is very low.

While that may not be very comforting to parents of children in middle and high school, the main problem is that “there are adults and teachers in schools who do not have the same protections (as children),” said Louis Freedberg of EdSource.

This depends on the spread of the virus in the local community and the way schools can mitigate that spread beyond the well-known measures of wearing masks and social distancing, which require working with smaller groups of students.

“Having good ventilation systems, screening and frequent testing. A lot of school districts do not have those measures in place,” Freedberg said.

But back-to-classroom advocates also argue that schools are where kids get their meals, a task that several districts continued doing during the pandemic. “The impact of food insecurity on academic performance is something that we are starting to learn about,” Freedberg said.

“We have to look more closely at the research and see how it applies to our communities. There needs to be some focus on making sure that research is available in other languages,” he concluded.

Both SBVC and Crafton Hills College receive full seven-year accreditation renewal Campuses are among only four in California to receive the highest level of accreditation from the Accrediting Commission on Community and Junior Colleges tion on your part to make San Bernardino Valley College the amazing place of learning and student success that it is,” said SBVC President Diana Z. Rodriguez in an email to colleagues.

“This is an outstanding accomplishment on the part of everyone who has worked so diligently to ensure that our first-ever virtual accreditation evaluation went smoothly and that SBVC’s exceptional progress since the last visit was showcased appropriately. A special thanks to Dr. Dina Humble and Dr. James Smith (Accreditation Liaison Officers), Dr. Celia Huston (faculty lead), and Kay Dee Yarbrough and Dena Peters for providing hours of support.”

rafton Hills College and San Bernardino Valley College are among four colleges in California to receive a full seven-year reaccreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). This is a vote of full confidence from education experts about the quality of the education provided by both campuses part of the San Bernardino Community College District.

The good news arrived on Monday to Interim Chancellor Jose F. Torres, and he immediately sent his thanks to the campuses.

“Our momentum keeps growing and today is proof of just that,” Torres wrote in an email. “We are poised to continue learning from each other, continue leading innovative practices to help students succeed, and continue making a difference in our communities.”

The accreditation process has many steps, including a complete self-review and site visits, and interviews conducted by educators from around the western United States. The site visits, conducted in October, had to be completely virtual because of the ongoing pandemic.

“Just as our classes have moved online, some of our accreditation processes were done that way as well, and our teams did a truly exemplary job adapting to this change,” said Dr. Anne Viricel, chair of the elected board overseeing the San Bernardino Community College District. “This is the highest level of accreditation an institution can receive. It is a rigorous review, and the caliber of our teaching shines through.”

The accrediting commission looks at policies and procedures, communication, faculty expertise, student outcomes, and community responsiveness. The commission

Inland Empire Health Plan provides $50K sponsorship to I.E. Black Equity Fund

I

nland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) will provide a $50,000 sponsorship to the Inland Empire Black Equity Fund to strengthen Black-led and Black-empowering organizations.

The pooled fund, established by the Black Equity Initiative of the Inland Empire (IEBEI) and the Inland Empire Funders Alliance, will have multiple outcomes aimed at achieving racial equity in the region.

Formed in 2014, the IEBEI is comprised of more than 20 Inland Empire Black-led organizations that share a desire to improve social and racial inequities through empowerment, education, and policy change. By collective effort, the group has addressed issues ranging from criminal justice reform to educational attainment, youth development, empower-

ment, health and well-being.

“Through our partnership with the Inland Empire Community Foundation, we learned of this momentous initiative and were eager to get involved and contribute,” said Marci Coffey, IEHP director of community partnerships. “The outcomes outlined in the initiative are intentional, necessary and will create positive momentum for change in our region.”

Outcomes include highlighting the history and impact of the Inland Empire’s Black-led and Black- empowering organizations, providing sustainable support for systems change work tied to the Black Equity Initiative strategic plan, and more.

Managed by the Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF),

the fund is seeded by IECF and The California Endowment with a goal to raise $5 million. Members of the Black Equity Initiative will serve as key decision makers in the distribution of resources.

“The collective actions, partnerships and coordinated response to address racial inequities in our region is truly a bold step forward,” said Jarrod McNaughton, IEHP chief executive officer. “As a community-based health plan, we are dedicated to promoting equality across the spectrum and are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the initiative.”

San Bernardino Valley College received a special mention from the accrediting commission for leadership in serving the needs of students in three specific areas: Valley 360 Resource Center – which provides food or other resources to registered students in need.

Generation Go! – which provides career services and mentoring to youth ages 16 to 24.

Middle College High School – which provides a way for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school, accelerating training for careers and colleges.

At Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, the visiting ACCJC team awarded the same full seven-year accreditation. The visiting team applauded the institution’s transformation of the English and Math sequences to improve student success and the college’s efforts to support equity, inclusion, and mental health services.

The ACCJC team was impressed by the college’s Guided Pathways work, distance education training and verification process, and use of qualitative and quantitative data for decision-making. They also praised the college's real-time adaptability during the outbreak of the pandemic.

Crafton Hills College President Dr. Kevin Horan said he was exceptionally pleased by the review process and positive outcome.

“It takes a village as they say, and we have one awesome village,” Horan wrote in an email to campus. “Please join me in thanking our Accreditation Liaison Officer, Dr. Keith Wurtz, for the outstanding job he did in leading our accreditation efforts. Thank you to everyone who participated in the self-evaluation and team visit.”
