unique in his craft and leadership ability is that he genuinely worked from the ground up He started as a police cadet at 22 years old and worked almost every position in-between, which has prepared him for his new position as chief of police of Cuesta in San Luis Obispo

“I’ve worked in law enforcement for 26 years and got my start as a police cadet Since then, I have had the opportunity to work as a reserve police officer, school resource officer, dispatcher, police officer, and corporal, which have led me to my current role as chief of police,” continued Randolph

The holidays may look merry and bright on TV specials and social media feeds –however, for many Americans, this can be an incredibly stressful time

Especially for people already struggling, the holiday season can heighten feelings of grief, loneliness and other emotional pain

Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) Clinical Director of Community Behavioral Health Amrita Rai says holidays can elevate emotional highs and lows

“This time of year can add additional stress in our lives, and stress can possibly trigger conditions such as depression and anxiety,” said Rai “Not everyone experiences the holidays the same; it’s OK to experience your feelings ”

Rai offers the following tips for managing potential stress during the holidays:

1) Breathe 2) Set realistic expectations 3) Let yourself say no to new obligations

4) Set boundaries with others

5) Reach out for help

In addition, Rai recommends checking in often with those close to you, ensuring they are doing OK, especially when you notice a change in their mood or behavior

CSUSB awards inaugural Pr esident’s Medal to Richard ‘Cheech’ Marin

By Community News

The annual President’s Holiday Dinner is a showcase of Cal State San Bernardino’s accomplishments and also a time to honor supporters, donors and its Philanthropic Foundation Board of Directors

But the highlight for this year ’s event, held at the Mission Inn in Riverside on Nov 30, was the firstever awarding of the President’s Medal, which was presented by CSUSB President Tomás D Morales to Richard “Cheech” Marin

“Mr Marin was selected because of his accomplishments as an actor, author of children’s books and a preeminent collector of Chicano art,” said Morales “His recent partnership with the Riverside Art Museum to establish The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano

Art and Culture is having a huge positive impact right here in the Inland Empire ‘The Cheech,’ as this museum is affectionately named, has already become a cultural icon and destination ”

“Literally born in East L A , this multi-talented man has refused to rest on his laurels and has instead continued to create, to perform and to give back to the community He has become an icon, and one who is now sharing his energy and largesse with the people of the Inland Empire,” Morales said “We are incredibly honored that he has graciously accepted this inaugural CSUSB President’s Medal ”

The CSUSB President’s Medal was created and presented in recognition of an individual’s extraordinary achievements to a field, profession or our nation, and/or to individuals who have made outstanding contributions

to the wellbeing of others The recipients have not attended and/or are not graduates of CSUSB

The university’s leadership and alumni regard the CSUSB President’s Medal as evidence of genuine eminent distinction

Best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent, satirical, counter-culture, no-holds-barred duo Cheech and Chong, Marin is a multi-generational star and widely acknowledged as a cultural icon His memoir, entitled “Cheech is Not My Real Name But Don’t Call Me Chong!,” was released in 2017 Along with films and awardwinning albums as the comedy duo, Marin wrote, directed and starred in the comedy “Born In East L A,” has appeared in over 20 films, and has been a television staple from many years appearing in action, dramas and comedies

He has appeared in animation film roles (“Oliver & Company,” “The Lion King,” “Cars” and more) and as an author of children’s books, such as “Cheech the School Bus Driver,”

Marin is recognized as a preeminent Chicano art advocate In the mid-1980s, he began developing what is now arguably the finest pri-

vate collection of Chicano art Much of it formed the core of his inaugural exhibition, “Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge,” which broke attendance records during its groundbreaking 15 city tour during 2001-2007 to major art museums across the U S

Marin’s goal to introduce Chicano art to a wider audience has resulted in his part-

nership with the city of Riverside and the Riverside Art Museum The Cheech, which opened on June 18, serves as the permanent home for his more than 700 works of Chicano art, including paintings, sculptures and photography

Collectively, it is the most renowned Chicano art collection in the United States and already a must-visit location in the Inland Empire

Inland Valley students will now have an opportunity to be exposed to contemporary Latin American and Latinx art thanks to a grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians

The grant will allow underserved students from school districts in Riverside and San Bernardino counties to be transported to the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach California where they will participate in MOLAA’s APRENDE (Learn) program

MOLAA’s APRENDE (LEARN) program is the Museum's core arts education program and was developed to increase access to high-quality and culturally relevant Arts curriculum and experiences in the region's schools and communities The APRENDE program ensures that schools, regardless of their budgetary constraints, are given the opportunity to experience MOLAA and enrich their students' academic experience APRENDE reaches economically and socially disadvantaged youth and residents by providing low-cost or free onsite exhibition tours; online virtual tours; art workshops; lectures and educator training sessions; downloadable curriculum resources; and other learning experiences

“We are honored to have partnered with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to provide students from Riverside and San Bernardino counties with exposure to contemporary Latin American and Latinx art,” said Lourdes I Ramos, Ph D , President & CEO of MOLAA “This very special program will connect Latinx children with their cultural heritage and introduce nonLatinx youth to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Latin America Our goal is to provide arts and arts education for underserved students which is

particularly important given the mounting public-school cutbacks in arts and music programs ”

MOLAA’s onsite and virtual school tours are accompanied by a robust set of interpretive content that will expand the understanding of Latin American and Latinx art They address issues and topics that are relevant and central to the identities and experiences of regional youth and families while also addressing global concerns

MOLAA’s APRENDE program is particularly important now given that public schools have continued to shift instructional time and resources toward math and language and away from subjects such as art, music, foreign language, and social studies The lack of arts education particularly impacts students of color Research has consistently shown that access to arts education is lower in African American and Latinx communities and has been steadily declining for 30 years

Unfortunately, public schools do not have the resources to utilize the arts to reach their neediest students As a result, teachers must seek supplemental programming outside of the classroom setting to expose their students to instructional subjects that had once been commonplace in schools To respond to this need, MOLAA has committed extensive resources to its APRENDE programming to ensure that youth, families, and educators have access to high-quality arts education programs The program ensures that schools, regardless of their budgetary constraints, are given the opportunity to experience MOLAA and enrich their students' academic experience

Inland Valley school districts interested in participating in the program should contact MOLAA at (562) 2164112 or write to tours@molaa org

T he ultimate Wor ld Cup final

By Caden Henderson

They say the World Cup unites us all and, for 2 and a half hours this past Sunday, it did exactly that The world watched as France looked to defend their crown against an Argentinean side led by Lionel Messi, looking to solidify his status as the greater player of all time The match was full of drama and moments that will be remembered forever, and there’s a lot to breakdown

The first half went how very few expected, with Argentina completely dominating the French A penalty kick goal from Lionel Messi and a goal off a beautiful sequence from Àngel Di María saw France down 2-0 heading into halftime However, France were the defending champions for a reason, and it seemed inevitable they’d show up eventually

After some gutsy yet genius substitutions made by France’s manager, Didier Deschamps, that saw key players like Giroud and Dembele subbed off much earlier than expected, France finally was able to draw a penalty in the 80th minute Young superstar Kylian Mbappé put it through, and France had cut the lead half A minute later, the legend of Mbappé would continue to grow, as he shot a rocket into the net to even the score 2-2 We had ourselves a ball game

For Argentina and its fans, the tying goal was the biggest “oh no” moment imaginable It seemed like they had France put away, but they left the door open for the defending champions, and they had taken advantage After a couple more chances for both sides that resulted in nothing, the whistle sounded to mark the end of regulation

This World Cup Final would need extra time In extra time, it seemed that Messi got his storybook moment when he scored a goal off of a rebound to put Argentina ahead in the 108th minute However, once again, Argentina would blow a late lead After a handball committed just inside the box, Kylian Mbappé found himself

at the penalty spot once again with the weight of an entire country on his shoulders Seemingly calm as ever, he put it in the back of the net

It was a hat trick for Mbappé, the first one a World Cup final had seen since the 60’s The drama didn’t end here, however Both goalkeepers Emiliano Martinez and Hugo Lloris would make game-saving stops to send this game to where it seemed destined to finish; penalty kicks

The first kick of the shootout for each team went as expected, with both superstars Messi and Mbappe capping off their incredible performances by putting the ball in the back of the net However, they alone would not decide the winner

Ultimately, Emiliano Martinez would get the two stops the Argentinians needed, and Argentina became World Cup champions for the third time in their history But, more importantly many would argue, Lionel Messi had finally won his first World Cup

The man who had dreamed of this moment since a child finally got his wish, and had capped off an incredible career with the one trophy he had been missing Messi would also come home with some individual hardware, taking home the Golden Ball for best player of the tournament Kylian Mbappe’s hat trick earned him the Golden Boot as well to add to his already impressive resume at the young age of just 23

The soccer world came into this World Cup in Qatar full of concerns, questions, and controversy However, as the beautiful game was played, and the fairy tales were written, the world was once again united by the games and this World Cup Final will surely go down as the greatest match ever not just in soccer, but maybe in all of sports
