Colton Lions Club Joins Dr G f or Community Clean-up
By Dr G (Dr Luis S González), community writer
Over the last nine years, Dr G has led several clean-up efforts throughout the downtown area, south Colton, and La Loma Hills From time to time, various individuals and community groups have joined in to assist in picking up trash and, in some cases, cleaning up areas that have experienced dumping of bulk items
Last Saturday, with the help of the Colton Lions Club, about a dozen individuals set out to clean up the well-known trucking corridor that includes parts of Congress Street and Fogg Street
To the locals, this stretch of vacant land is often called the “big curve” and is well-known as a remote place where trash and illegal dumping regularly build up
Dozens of trucks and hundreds of cars pass through this corridor every day, and as a result, the build-up of trash, junk, and bulk items gets so much that a significant clean-up is in order That’s when the G-Team and local community groups are called to action to address the trash problem In just about every case, the clean-up project of the target area is a great success and makes the area noticeably better As a result, everyone wins – the area is clean, travelers see a nice corridor and nearby residents enjoy a welcoming neighborhood
Mostly, anywhere between two and five individuals come when they can on a weekday morning to help Dr G with his clean-up project But sometimes, a special clean-up project is needed for larger areas, and plans are made to include a
larger group Last week, the Colton Lions Club stepped up to help They know Dr G well and have worked with him several times on various projects
With his trash clean-up program already in place, the Lions Club’s community service goal is a good fit, and with their available manpower, large clean-up projects are possible President Cynthia Calderilla said, “Our motto is to serve, and we engage in projects that help the community ” Established in 2019, the Colton Lions Club is often seen at community events and provides individuals with food, clothes, gift cards, eyeglasses, and backpacks
This community clean-up was another way the Colton Lions Club extended a helping hand to the community Any time individuals or groups offer to volunteer, the efforts are well-received by the general public
Those who participate also experience a personal sense of local pride and contribution to our community With the success of the Community Clean-up, the Colton Lions Club has once again demonstrated that they are a driving force in the community for community service Congratulations to the Colton Lions Club
For more information about CITY TALK, various community groups and events, Colton history, the trash clean-up project, the G-Team, prayer list, history briefs, Veteran Spotlight, Church Spotlight, Business Spotlight, U S Flag Watch, neighborhood meetings, community projects, or the online live-stream programs, contact Dr G @ 909-213-3730 Questions and comments are always welcome

Dir ector of CSUSB Center f or the Study of Hate and Extr emism to Pr esent Latest Hate Crime Repor t to State Commission
Community News
Following on the heels of what authorities suspect was a hate-fueled murder a Southern California mountain community, the latest report by Cal State San Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism (CSHE) shows that three of the largest percentage increases in reported hate crimes in major American cities in 2022 were against members of the LGBTQ+ community
Those findings and more will be presented Friday, Aug 25, by Brian Levin, director of the non-partisan center, when the California Commission on the State of Hate meets at Sacramento State While the meeting, open to the public, will be in person at Sacramento State, it may also be accessed on Zoom The commission’s meeting agenda is available on its website
The commission meeting begins at 10:30 a m Pacific Time, with a community forum to follow at 12:30 p m Levin, who also is a member of the commission, will present the center ’s report in the 10:30 a m session He will also share historical data on how hate crimes rise during presidential election years The presentation will be his last official act as the director of the center he founded 24 years ago before he retires from the post
Community News
The latest study by the center analyzed hate crimes reported to police in 42 major U S cities, and showed that such crimes increased 10% in 2022; another sample of 16 states showed an increase of 17% The 10 largest cities in the report showed a greater jump, up an average of 22%, “setting a second consecutive modern annual record, while smaller cities yielded more mixed results according to analysis of the latest official preliminary police data,” the center reported “In CSHE’s 2022 multi-city hate crime survey, the greatest percentage increases were directed toward those: of ‘other race/ethnicity,’ up 94%; followed by anti-LGBTQ (Mixed Group), up 52%; anti-Gender nonconforming – which covers people in drag, up 47%, anti-Jewish, up 29% and anti-Transgender up 28%,” the report said
Release of the center ’s latest report comes soon after the Aug 18 fatal shooting of Laura Ann Caldwell, who flew a rainbow pride flag outside her Lake Arrowheadarea clothing business A San Bernardino County Sheriff's report says she was shot by a man who had made “several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton ”
Levin said, “We must powerfully condemn root to
branch the vile bigotry and violence that so brazenly targets our LGBTQI brothers and sisters and those like Laura, who love and care for them At a time when our research shows horrifying increases in attacks against the LGBTQI community, Laura’s beautiful life stands as a moral counterweight and beacon of the enduring resonance of ally-ship and love ”
Levin, who stepped down from teaching in the CSUSB School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and was the California State University 2020 Wang Family Excellence Award recipient, has long been a sought-after expert in hate crimes and extremism, testifying before Congressional and state legislative bodies on the topic; sharing his expertise with local, regional, national and international news media; and presenting at professional conferences and civic and community groups That was in addition to his research for the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, established at CSUSB in 1999 CSHE examines the ways that bigotry, extremism, terrorism – both domestically and internationally – deny civil or human rights to people because of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other relevant status characteristics
SBVC’s Summer Enr ollment Gr ows Driven by Fr ee Tuition & Textbooks
Offering all students free tuition and textbooks at SBVC likely had a significant impact on student enrollment, as was witnessed firsthand this summer when total student headcount increased by 33% over the prior summer, from 5,680 in Summer 2022 to 7,551 in Summer 2023 Out of that number, 2,244 (or 29 7%) were first-time SBVC students
Overall, SBVC finished the 2022-2023 academic year with a 6 8% increase in headcount over 2021-22, putting the college on track to reversing an enrollment decline that pummeled most colleges nationwide during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic
While it is well known that free tuition and textbooks remove financial barriers that may prevent
students from enrolling in courses, covering these costs for students on a prolonged basis may not yet be sustainable for most colleges, especially community colleges, due to limitations in federal and state funding they receive
SBVC will continue to offer free textbook rentals for all students in the Fall 2023 and Spring 2023 terms, which will save students hundreds of dollars as they continue to pursue their educational goals
"Our mission is to provide as much access to higher education as we can," said interim president Dr Linda Fontanilla "We hope that all students in our community are able to take advantage of this free textbook opportunity while it is available "

Will Two Envir onmental Justice Advocates Appr ove a 1.5 million Sqft. War ehouse in Jur upa Valley?
glaring example is the proposed “The District” project at Jurupa Valley in the Roubidoux community This behemoth, boasting 1 5 million square feet of industrial space, isn’t just a concern for its size but for what it symbolizes and the repercussions we know will come Our air quality in Jurupa Valley is already one of the worst in the nation And with “The District” comes the inevitable influx of hundreds of diesel trucks, each spewing toxic particulates daily
As Jurupa Valley Planning Commissioner Hakan Jackson himself said, “It’s obvious that pollution is the slow killer,” and “a lot of communities are not considering how toxic local warehouses have become with truck traffic and commerce ” This toxicity is linked to asthma, cancer, long-term lung issues, and premature deaths The stakes couldn’t be more precise, and they couldn’t be higher: the health of our community and the future generations who will inherit the decisions we make today hang in the balance
In 2015, Penny Newman advocated against a warehouse in Moreno Valley, stating, “To bring this much additional traffic, without any mitigation, to an area with the worst air pollution is criminal ” Seeing some environmental justice groups and activists remain silent is disheartening
The question then looms large: Are we gearing up for another warehouse despite the billion square feet of warehouse space the Inland Empire already possesses? A space whose vacancies, as reported by the Press-Enterprise, have tripled in the past two years?
By Gary Conner, Jurupa Valley resident
In the beautiful hills and open space of Jurupa Valley, where the environment and outdoors are not just landscapes but a way of life, it’s jarring to think of a mammoth warehouse occupying an empty lot beside the Santa Ana River, which borders the City of Riverside
As a longtime resident of the Inland Empire, my connection with this region goes beyond my love for its equestrian trails and wildlife It’s where I, like many others, have lived and am now retired and proud to give
back and stand up for my community
I have also consistently supported and donated to Democratic candidates, believing in their promise to protect our environmental legacy Imagine the hope I felt learning that our Jurupa Valley Planning Commission had appointed two officials deeply rooted in environmental justice: Hakan Jackson and Penny Newman Their history as advocates seemed like the dawn of a new era for our community However, recent developments have cast shadows on my initial optimism
My regular attendance at local commission and council meetings has been an exercise in mounting concern A
Labor Unions, which I support, are strongly backing this project But as Mr Hakan himself has said, “The big issue is fighting for jobs versus fighting for the health of the community ” I call on Jackson and Newman to stop this warehouse with the same energy they have placed in other communities across the region We all live here, and we deserve better
Now, more than ever, we need our representatives to vote with their conscience

Empowering San Ber nardino Via Financial Literacy: J.P. Morgan Chase's Debt Wor kshop Tackles Essential Life Skills at Studio D
By Manny Sandoval
On Monday, August 14th, Studio D in Downtown San Bernardino was abuzz with financial insights and community engagement as J P Morgan Chase held its Managing Debt Workshop The event, aimed at bridging the gap between financial institutions and the community, was a testament to the bank's commitment to fostering financial literacy
Brad Wilson, VP and Community Manager from J P Morgan Chase shared valuable insights on managing debt Before diving into debt repayment, Wilson emphasized the importance of ensuring that you truly owe the debt to a creditor, checking that the statute of limitations hasn't expired, and verifying the legitimacy of the debt collector He further advised attendees on the nuances of negotiating with debt collectors
If full payment isn't feasible, Wilson suggested setting up an affordable payment plan, negotiating for a lower
balance, and aiming for a "paid in full" status rather than a "settled" one
The workshop also highlighted the rules that debt collectors must adhere to and encouraged attendees to report any creditor abuse to USA gov
Silva Harapetian, Chief Marketing Officer of Studio D, spoke passionately about the significance of such workshops "Financial literacy is not something we are taught in school," Harapetian said She further emphasized the unique challenges immigrant families face, respectfully stating, "Speaking as an immigrant, with immigrant parents, we sometimes have preconceived ideas of finances, banking, debt, interest, etc Sometimes, what our parents know and teach us about finances is not always efficiently aligned with our system here "
Harapetian also underscored the importance of creating an inclusive environment for financial education "It's imperative for everyone to know their options and un-
derstand how to budget, use a credit card, and more Understanding the nuances of finances and creating a safe space where like-minded people can ask questions is crucial If we do it collectively as a community, we are all better off," she added
Feedback from attendees indicated a keen interest in future workshops on building credit and additional workshops on preparing for home purchases The workshops are held monthly at Studio D and are free
The event concluded on a high note, with J P Morgan Chase gifting attendees backpacks filled with school supplies
J P Morgan Chase's initiative at Studio D is a testament to the bank's commitment to community engagement and education With workshops on debt management, budgeting, financial journey, home buying, and business banking, the bank is making strides in ensuring that financial literacy is accessible to all
