n Friday, August 28 Council Member Dr. G (Dr. Luis S. Gonzalez) presented the CITY TALK “Community Impact Award” to

long time Colton residents Mencha Lopez and her daughter Carmen Lozolla for 39 years of recycling. Mencha, and recently her daughter, have been taking walks early in the morning and picking up recycled bottles along the way. Over the years while

making his own trash runs, Dr G has crossed paths several times with this awesome twosome and have come to the conclusion that they are not only well-known in the community, but have become community icons for their recycling efforts.

The CITY TALK “Community Impact Award” was recently established to recognize the great efforts that people make “behind the scenes” to make our commuCity Talk, cont. on next pg.

Still time to respond to 2020 Census and shape the future

Y

ou can still complete the questionnaire yourself online at 2020census.gov, by calling 844-330-2020, or by returning the paper form you received in the mail. Respond using the address where you were living on April 1, 2020 and include anyone who was living with you at the time.

Your response matters – as does that of your friends, family, and neighbors – because the results of

the 2020 Census determine how many seats your state gets in the U.S. House of Representatives and inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding will be allocated every year to communities like yours across the country. You can view your state, city, or county’s response rates via our online interactive map.

If you respond on your own now, it is less likely that a census taker will visit you in person later this summer to help you complete the

City Talk nity, the City of Colton, a better place. “I think Mencha and Carmen are a great choice for this recognition. Their efforts are exactly what this award is about,” smiles Dr. G, a City Council Member and well-known community advocate.

“I have known Carmen for 25 years during my Band Director Days at Colton High,” says Dr. G. She often drove the bus taking his Yellowjacket Band to competitions all around Southern California. This year, Dr. G has also gotten to know Mencha much better, in that they are on similar paths in the morning doing their community collections. Both Mencha and Carmen are longtime residents, and both love helping the community. In the eyes of Dr. G, “they are simply awesome. They are an incredible testimony to citizenship and pride

in our community.”

Born in 1935, Mencha, aka “Lorraine,” has been walking the entire 39 years. Carmen joined in after retirement in 2017. “This story is really about my mom,” declared Carmen. Together they pick up aluminum cans, plastic bottles and at times a little trash.

Mencha really enjoys seeing and talking to the other early walkers, city workers, and anyone who passes by. Carmen, her daughter, is a retired Driver Trainer/School Bus driver and has working for the Colton Joint Unified School district 38 years.

When asked about their recycling project, Carmen reflected, “in 1972, we used to clean up trash as part of an Ecology class

questionnaire. However, if someone from the Census Bureau does visit you, please cooperate with them. You’ll know they are a Census Bureau employee by their identification badge, which will have their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date. All census takers have been trained on social distancing protocols, will be issued Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and will follow local guidelines for its use.

project at Colton High School.

We went out to Valley Blvd to pick up trash, clean up our community, and gain some extra grade credits.” Basically, “That idea just stuck with us, and we kept going,“ explained Carmen.

“When I became a driver, I also added a recycling program for the students on my school bus,” added Carmen.

For now, future plans are to continue the early walks and the recycling. “My adopted grandsons are starting to recycle,” Carmen boasted, and added, “They are starting to learn about earning money, and learning to appreciate recycling, and keep our community clean!”

For more information about CITY TALK, the trash clean-up, or the online live-stream programs, contact Dr. G @ (909) 213-3730. Questions and comments are always welcome.

The once-a-decade population count is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Responses to the census inform planning and funding decisions for emergency and disaster response, healthcare and hospitals, schools and education, roads and bridges, and other vital community resources. Census responses shape the future for everyone, whether you live in a city or a small town, a rural area, on a boat, or in an RV. It impacts children, college students, and adults of all ages.

That’s why everyone should respond and be counted.

Utility customers with comprehensive resources to support and enhance their current EV ownership, or to help first-time buyers get behind the wheel of a new or used EV with minimal cost and high confidence. Resources available on the website include an EV catalog that allows users to compare costs of ownership with gas vehicles, links to available rebates and incentives in their area, an interactive map of charging stations, and information for home EV charging accessories.

If you’re not able to verify if someone else in your household has already responded, such as a roommate or family member, go ahead and respond and include everyone in your household in your response; the Census Bureau eliminates duplicate responses when processing the questionnaires.

Your answers to the 2020 Census questionnaire are strictly confidential and protected by law.

Your census responses cannot be used against you by any government agency or court in any way.

Cecelia Scheuer Next Leader at the Institute for Policy Studies

Relics of America’s harrowing past are facing new scrutiny, and rightfully so. Statues are falling.

NFL teams are renaming themselves. Even syrup brands are being discontinued.

Most urgently, they’re demanding a complete revision of U.S. history courses, calling on teachers to educate students about the darker side of our nation’s history — from the Trail of Tears to the Tulsa massacre — as well as the Black and Native Americans that have fought to make the ideals of our democracy true.

We need age-appropriate curricula tailored for all stages of K12 education. A study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that by three months of age, a child begins to show a preference for faces of their own racial group — a bias that is only reinforced if it is not disrupted through transformative education.

Actor Chadwick Boseman recently died after a four-year battle with colon cancer. He was 43.

Boseman had starred in the blockbuster Marvel superhero franchise movie Black Panther rising to stardom. He played Jackie Robinson in the movie 42. He also played James Brown in Get on Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall.

Boseman had received international accolades for his movie roles. He was young, handsome, and very talented. He had a loving family who was by his Los Angeles bedside when he died. Colon cancer robbed him of another 20 or even 30 years of movie stardom.

Boseman's early diagnosis of colon cancer at the age of 39 reminds us all of the seriousness of colon cancer. All cancer is serious but colon cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States when women and men's statistics are combined.

Some critics worry that we’ll “forget our history” if we remove these We can’t rely on conversations Fifty was previously the recomracist symbols.

mended age for the first colonoscopy. Newer reports have recommended age 45. I would suggest talking to your doctor by the age of 40 about a colonoscopy.

My doctor has been adamant that my sons have colonoscopies by the time they are 40. There are more and more reports of early death from colon cancer. Television journalist Katie Couric's husband Jay Monahan died in 1998 at the age of 42 Death comes to us all by something. However, a colonoscopy might extend your life several years.

You may know someone who has been impacted by colon cancer. My father was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 60 but after a couple of very serious colon surgeries he survived to live to be 85 years old. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with colon cancer and lost most of her colon in her early forties, but also lived to be 85.

When I was 50, I had my first colonoscopy and had several polyps removed that were not cancerous. Most likely if I had not

had routine colonoscopies along the way I would be dead today.

While you are scheduling your colonoscopy eat plenty of fiber.

When I was kid in health class, we were taught about the importance of eating fruit and vegetables. I can't underscore enough the importance of eating broccoli, lots of other vegetables, strawberries, oranges, apples and other fruit. A big bowl of plain oatmeal every morning and a handful of walnuts is another good choice.

We would never pour a cup of sand in our automobile's gas tank.

Yet, often we consume food choices that do not benefit us much and often hurt us. Good eating choices are vital.

There is no eternal fountain of youth in this world. However, I do hope we can live a lot of more good years and keep in mind that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Excite d ab out ca ndidate

As ongoing Black Lives Matter protests have forced a reckoning on police brutality, systemic racism, and truths that have been conveniently left untold, student coalitions are circulating petitions demanding anti-racist education curricula in schools across the country.

Ultimately, exposure to a diverse and anti-racist education at a young age equips students with a sense of radical empathy that is not only an essential quality of leadership, but that will serve them in their relationships throughout their lives.

So it looks like California is becoming another Venezuela. A socialist state in the making or maybe already there.

However I have good news for you, many common sense candidates are running for office here including in District 31 my good

friend Agnes Gibboney. She is a WARRIOR and a strong woman battler born from this world, immigrant who came to United States to escape socialism as a little girl. She knows the horrors of that kind of agenda. Shes a believer. One day while talking to her on the phone I said have you thought about running for office.

She was already the head of Angel mom in our community so I knew she knew the work involved in leading. She said I hadn’t but now that you mention I am interested.

I said let’s pray and you will know when you are called. She agreed I will let HIM lead me. So I prayed for her and she was in agreement.

When I saw her plan to run I was so excited I called her to congratulate her. Check her out yourself.

She has a website at Agnesgibboney.com please consider campaigning for her and definitely VOTE for her. You will see your VOICE and needs be carried to the W.H. Which they’re not now in District 31, by the oppositional agenda of the current Congressmen Aguliar.

I have spoken to his Assitant to voice my problem with no access to care in Ca he arrogantly said too bad I am not dealing with your issues. Which I shared in previous letters they did not do anything so I had to go out of state for my care.

Agnes is you VOICE she is a WARRIOR. VOTE Agnes 2020.

Crafton Hills College's Summer Bridge Program transitions students from Adult School into college scholars

M

ore than two dozen students from local adult education institutions completed Crafton Hills College's Summer Bridge Program, an online course designed to prepare students for a successful college experience.

The program is part of Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), a state and collegefunded program to uplift underrepresented and marginalized students and help them succeed in higher education. Most of the students in this year's program were recent graduates of the Red-

lands Adult School and Yucaipa Adult School.

Students who participated in the summer 2020 program had a slightly different experience than Bridge students in previous years, according to Counselor Arline Troncoza. Because of the restrictions placed on daily life and higher education due to COVID19, students enrolled in this year's program had more of an emphasis on digital literacy skills.

Modules within the course focused on traditional study skills like notetaking and time management but also reflected how the educational landscape has shifted in the era of COVID-19. Students learned how to use distance learning tools including video conferencing, online collaborative software, student email and more.

Lakers win 4 straight after game 1 loss, easily eliminate injured Blazers team

F

inally, after eight long years of waiting, the Lakers have their first playoff series win. It was no easy task, but LeBron James showed why he’s the king, and AD showed why he is maybe the best big (man) in the league.

The series started with game 1 in the Orlando bubble, with the Lakers designated as the “home” team. The game was a battle of runs. It came down to the final minutes, until bubble MVP Damian Lillard hit two long range threes to put the Blazers ahead, and they never looked back, winning and making the series 1-0.

But the Lakers did not back down. Anthony Davis and LeBron showed much more aggressiveness, and they were able to tie the series, and take the lead in game 3, 2-1. However, an even bigger loss for the Blazers hit. Their star Damian Lillard had dislocated a finger. Luckily, it was on his nonshooting hand and he was able to play for a crucial game 4. But the Lakers showed no mercy.

Outstanding performances all around helped give the Lakers a statement win, and put the Blazers in an impossible 3-1 hole. Game 5 would come however, a few days late. Teams around the league all boycotted their next games, in protest to police brutality and the owners’ lack of ability to step up and spread the black lives matter movement. However, after more than a few meetings, both sides got what they wanted, and game 5 went on.

Game 5 the Blazers played without Damian Lillard, due to a knee injury he had suffered in the pre-

vious game. The Blazers, led by Carmelo Anthony and CJ McCollum put up a good fight, but in the end, LeBron’s triple double led the Lakers, as they won, and move onto the second round.

The Lakers met expectations for the first round, beating a Blazers team that some considered the greatest 8 seed of all time. They showed weaknesses shooting from 3, but also showed that when AD and LeBron are aggressive and score first, they are almost unstoppable. As of when this is being written, the Lakers will face the winner of the Thunder-Rockets series, with the Rockets currently up 3-2. Expect the Lakers to be favorites no matter who comes out of that 4-5 matchup. 4 wins down, 12 to go, as the Lakers look to win a championship for Kobe in the craziest season the NBA has and will ever see.

New prog ram helps senior s and residents with disabilities bridge technical divide

T

o help ensure access for seniors and persons with disabilities to resources and communication through digital technology, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) has awarded Rolling Start Inc., a non-profit organization serving people with disabilities, with a $5,000 sponsorship to support its new Digital Access Pilot Program. In addition to the sponsorship, IEHP will encourage interested employees to volunteer for the program, that launched September 1.

Aiming to reduce the digital divide and social isolation experienced by seniors and persons with disabilities in the face of COVID19, Rolling Start Inc.’s Digital Access Pilot Program will provide eligible individuals who have restricted or no internet access with paid access for up to three months, a Chromebook and instructional courses.

Program participants will be required to complete all instructional courses within a designated

time to keep their devices. IEHP team members will use this training as a tool to teach program participants how to navigate social media websites, access telehealth benefits, and how to use the tool to improve communication with their medical providers.

“While we are in the early stages of this program development, we have purchased 50 Chrome Books and have identified 30 qualified individuals who could benefit from a program like this,” said Lisa Hayes, executive director of Rolling Start Inc. “With IEHP’s partnership, we hope to connect with even more individuals and work to empower individuals to access what they need, when they need it from the convenience and safety of their personal digital device.”

To date, Rolling Start Inc. is one of 27 Independent Living Centers in California that are specifically designed to assist people of all disabilities and ages by offering an array of services that include: pro-

gram referral, assistive technology, advocacy and other services.

After recently receiving a grant from the San Bernardino County Department of Aging, Rolling Start Inc. will become an Aging Disabled Resource center, providing additional services to seniors in San Bernardino County.

“Partnering with Rolling Start in this way will allow us to further develop a program referral process through our Connect IE Platform,” said Carmen Ramirez, IEHP’s disability program manager. “This will allow IEHP and other organizations to refer eligible individuals to this innovative program and get them connected.
