Local Her oes: Colton City Council Salutes Nine Teacher s in Special Cer emony
By Dr. Luis S. González, community writer
On June 6th, Colton City Council paid homage to nine remarkable educators either residing in or working for the City of Colton Riding on the tailwind of National Teachers Month, Council Member Dr González took the stage to introduce the distinguished educators, each one a unique representation of various schools, subjects, grade levels, and years of service
The illustrious roster for 2023 included Mrs Mirian Borja, a sixth-grade educator; Mrs Jennie Blinkinsop, a fourth-grade teacher; Mr Jeremy Dollins, Colton High School's yearbook advisor; Mrs Eva Heras, a recently retired first-grade teacher; Mr Robert Montano, Colton High School's math maestro; Mr Ken Taber, the school's band director; Ms Evelin Villa, the spearhead of Colton High School's Wellness Program; Mr David Wheatley, a history teacher at Colton High School; and Mr Tom Wurz, instructor for Graphic Communications at the same institution
The council smartly planned this tribute to coincide with their June meeting, marking the close of the academic year; this served as an opportune moment to honor the teachers before they embarked on their summer pursuits - be it part-time jobs, spending quality time with family, or strategizing for the forthcoming academic year
The ceremony saw a heartening turnout of teach-
ers, families, students, and esteemed guests, all eager to partake in the occasion As each teacher's name echoed in the council chambers, they were invited to step forward and receive their certificate of appreciation This event, an annual tradition since 2016, is a testament to Colton's commitment to acknowledging teachers' indispensable role in shaping the city's future
The proclamation also served as a reminder that Colton's Teacher Appreciation Day is a momentous occasion for everyone After all, we owe a part of who we are today to a teacher or many from our school years Under their tutelage, we learned not just academic subjects but also foundational lessons such as the Pledge of Allegiance, the U S Constitution, and the responsibilities of being an American citizen, including the right to vote
This formal gesture by the City Council underscores our educators' invaluable contribution to molding Colton's young minds Teachers inspire, motivate, and guide our students to achieve success through their unwavering dedication and hard work, leaving an indelible imprint on their lives
It is fitting to commend these educators for their instrumental role in preparing our youth to become responsible and contributing members of the Colton community The City of Colton is proud to stand behind our public schools and is privileged to acknowledge these nine remarkable teachers as part of Colton's Teacher Appreciation Day 2023
cial engagement
Join me in congratulating them all on this monumental achievement This Royal Family embodies the hopeful spirit and vibrant energy that makes Colton a city to watch

June is National Mig rane and Headache Awar eness Month
Headaches and specifically migraines cost employers tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with employees missing more than 4 days of work a year and another 11 days with reduced productivity

headaches can be treated by over the counter medications and are typically easy to manage by exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and managing stress
A migraine is a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head The headache can vary in intensity and is often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound “The combination of prioritizing quality sleep, limiting caffeine intake, engaging in regular exercise, and maintaining a well-balanced diet is key to effective migraine management”, states Dr Rajan Chopra, Neurologist at St Bernardine Medical Center About 12% of the population in the US will have a migraine at some point in their life Migraines may be triggered by caffeine, medications, hormonal changes, dehydration,
changes in weather, and even certain foods
Cluster headaches occur in patterns or clusters and may last weeks to months “Cluster headaches cause severe pain that tends to recur in the same way and same location each time”, says Dr Chopra Triggers include smoking, alcohol use, change in altitude foods with nitrates and bright light
It is important to monitor headaches and seek medical attention if they occur more often than usual and keep you from working, sleeping or participating in normal activities

Antonio* estaba trabajando en construcción cuando sufrió una grave lesión Sin saber cuánto duraría su rehabilitación, su mayor preocupación era cómo iba a pagar las facturas y mantener una vivienda Todo cambió cuando un amigo de Antonio le contó sobre un servicio gratuito de asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda Los asesores de este programa ofrecen asesoramiento y capacitación gratuitos sobre morosidad en temas hipotecarios, alquiler de una vivienda, preparación para la compra de una vivienda, hipotecas inversas e incluso medidas de prevención para no terminar sin un lugar donde vivir
La financiación de este servicio procede de los Presupuestos del Estado de California por medio del Acuerdo Hipotecario Nacional (National Mortgage Settlement, o NMS, por sus siglas en inglés) y está administrado por la Agencia de Financiamiento de la Vivienda de California (California Housing Finance Agency, o CalHFA, por sus siglas en inglés) Por medio de su Programa de Asesoramiento de Vivienda del NMS, CalHFA ya ha ayudado a más de 50,000 familias a encontrar asesores de vivienda certificados por el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD, por su sigla en inglés) en todo el estado, para recibir servicios de asesoramiento de vivienda gratuitos y confidenciales
Un asesor sobre temas de vivienda trabajó con Antonio, respondiendo a sus preguntas sobre opciones bancarias y crediticias La sesión se centró en cómo podría alcanzar sus objetivos financieros incluso aunque no pudiera trabajar debido a la lesión Trabajaron en los aspectos básicos de la creación de crédito y revisaron el proceso bancario, ya que Antonio no tenía una cuenta bancaria El asesor de vivienda le ayudó a establecer un presupuesto general para administrar sus gastos y empezar a ahorrar para alcanzar sus objetivos financieros Además, el asesor sobre temas de vivienda le ayudó a inscribirse en un curso de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL, por sus siglas en inglés), porque el idioma era algo que Antonio quería mejorar También lo refirieron a un activista y defensor de derechos que le ayudó a presentar una solicitud de indemnización por accidente laboral
"Los californianos que trabajan duro y merecen participar en el ‘sueño americano’ no siempre tienen una ‘red de seguridad’ a la que recurrir en tiempos difíciles", dijo Tiena Johnson Hall, Directora Ejecutiva de la Agencia de Financiación de la Vivienda de California "Este programa ayuda a las personas a estabilizar su situación de vida al recibir asesoramiento y acceso a programas y recursos que de otro modo no conocerían"
Para encontrar un asesor, cualquier persona puede visitar el sitio web de CalHFA y buscar “NMS”, o ir directamente a la página de asesoramiento en https://www calhfa ca gov/community/nms/resources htm Todas las sesiones son gratuitas, y los propietarios de viviendas pueden ponerse en contacto con una de estas organizaciones aunque no vivan en la misma zona geográfica, ya que el asesoramiento se puede hacer por teléfono o por videollamada
El Programa de Asesoramiento sobre temas de Vivienda del NMS ayudó a Antonio a superar un momento difícil Tiempo más tarde, cuando volvió a ponerse en contacto con la persona que le asesoró, para ver cómo le iba, se alegró de haber abierto una cuenta bancaria, de estar mejorando su calificación crediticia y de haber empezado un curso de inglés (ESL) en un colegio comunitario Y lo que es más importante, Antonio logró mantenerse en su hogar y mantuvo su vivienda
Johnson Hall añadió: "El asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda es un servicio crucial que reduce el número de personas sin hogar, se enfrenta a la inseguridad en temas de vivienda y reduce los obstáculos para llegar a ser propietario de una casa, todo lo cual puede encaminar a las personas hacia el bienestar financiero Espero que toda persona que tenga problemas (de vivienda) aproveche esta oportunidad de ayuda gratuita"
