are in the fundraising phase We want to open up grand open ing applications in the fall and grand awards in 2023 ”

With a starting first year goal of at least $80,000, Melgar and numerous other philanthropists were able to exceed their objec tive for the CIELO Fund

“Our initial goal was $80,000, but tonight we raised $300,000 Really excited to be able to cross that threshold,” said Melgar “What that means is the more money raised, the bigger impact you can have and the more money you can give to nonprof its This is the beginning of an effort and we hope that it con tinues on ”

With this substantial amount of funds, the IECF and CIELO Fund can help the Latino com munity now more than ever today and in the future

Latinos remain facing barriers within the vicinity of higher ed ucation, health care accessibility, income mobility, and civic en gagement

Whether it’s supporting Latino led and serving nonprofit organizations, funding intern ships and scholarships, or spreading awareness and learn ing about issues affecting Lati nos, the money will benefit the Inland Empire’s Latino commu nity reach for the heavens

“It’s a fund by Latinos, for Latinos, and it’s a fund that’s lifting up and investing in Latino communities across Riverside and San Bernardino counties so we’re really excited to see this project come to life,” said Mel gar

In effect to make the Inland Empire a better place, the CIELO Fund may be new yet will evolve By studying the is sues, together we will create change in the region by uniting and supporting

San Manuel Band of Mission In dians donated $1 8 million to Crafton Hills College’s (CHC) Fire Academy, the largest gift ever received by the CHC Foundation, to help the college achieve its mis sion of training a highly qualified and diverse pool of recruits to serve the local area

The donation comes at a time when updated industry standards have increased program costs to a point where cadets are expected to pay more out of pocket to com plete the 18 week course

“I have never seen in my entire time at Crafton a grant this large for a program like ours,” said Academy Chief Mike Alder “It is a tremendous shot in the arm for the Academy and the cadets ”

Preparing the next generation of public safety servants is one of CHC’s critical priorities due to a severe regional shortage of trained professionals in the community CHC has identified the high cost

students must bear to qualify for positions in emergency medical services (EMS) and firefighting as one of the reasons for this short age Each year, cadets struggle to meet the out of pocket costs for uniforms, equipment, supplies, testing, licensing and certifica tions CHC aims to recruit a di verse cadet pool for its fire science and paramedic programs Still, low income students often cannot afford the cost of participation, certification and licensure

To help mitigate this need, the San Manuel Band of Mission In dians has promised $1 8 million to the CHC Fire Academy, helping students with financial barriers ac cess training at CHC’s Fire Acad emy Their support will help CHC recruit a more diverse group of re cruits into these programs and benefit local communities by pro viding the trained personnel needed to fill open positions

“It has been an honor to partner with Crafton Hills on both finan cial support and recruitment,” said San Manuel Band of Mission In

Vice Chairman Johnny Hernan dez Jr “Every person should be able to follow their dreams re gardless of their financial situa tion The Tribe is excited to hear this may close the gap between diverse communities and access to following their dreams in fire fighting ”

“One of the greatest assets we have as a college is the support of our community and partner ships with extraordinary organi zations, such as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians,” said Crafton Hills College President

Dr Kevin Horan “We are hum bled by their generosity and shared interest in building a tal ented and diverse first responder workforce ”

“We are grateful to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for their generous support of our local students,” said San Bernardino Community College District Chancellor Diana Ro driguez “The Crafton Hills Col lege Fire Academy opens doors to good paying jobs for our grad uates This gift will help build a diverse workforce of firefighters

who will combat California’s wildfires and keep our communi ties safe ”

Crafton’s Fire Academy is one of the premier fire academies in the Southern California region and is designed to meet requirements for Firefighter 1 and 2 certifica tions Offered twice a year once in the fall and again in the spring the program tests cadets on leadership, communication, physical fitness and what to ex pect in the field of fire service through hands on training

The

past few years for the University of Southern California football pro gram have been disappointing to say the least Multiple coaching changes, a lack of identity, and failing to meet any sort of positiveexpectation Yet, things look to be turning around The program has started this season 4 0 and now has an established coach in Lincoln Riley as well as the many transfers that came with him from Okla homa Now the Trojans have one goal in mind: a trip to the college football playoff and a national title Let s take a look at their road to a possible championship, and what it’ll take from the team on the field to reach the mountain top

Let’s start with the foundation for USC getting into the college football playoff: winning the Pac 12 And, not just winning it, but winning it with 1 or preferably 0 losses The Trojans did not schedule any big resume booster games before confer ence play, so there is little room for error

This season, however, they still have mul tiple competitive teams lined up on their schedule such as #12 Utah, currently 4 0 UCLA, and a Notre Dame team whose record does not represent the talent they have The Trojans have to win these games while also not getting upset in games they’ll be heavily favored to win At the worst, USC can most likely only lose one of the aforementioned games if they want to secure a playoff spot, in addition to of

course winning the conference Now that the scenario is set, what do the Trojans need to do on the field to ensure this happens?

USC’s offense on paper is as good as it gets Star QB Caleb Williams has an elite ability to extend plays and fire darts to open receivers, such as star Jordan Addison, a transfer from Pitt who he has already found in the end zone multiple times through the first 4 weeks While Williams and company did struggle this past weekend against Ore gon State to chain multiple good drives to gether, I am not worried as they did get the job done when it mattered most As long as they are healthy and can maintain a good running game featuring Oregon transfer Travis Dye, the USC offense can put up enough points against a playoff team to put

them in a position to win As for the de fense, there is some concern among fans

Through the first two weeks, the Trojan de fense had its moments but also had its woes, which was a concern given the level of competition they were facing While they may have redeemed themselves this past weekend after forcing 4 key intercep tions, they still must be cautious It is clear this defense is primarily ball hawks looking to turn the ball over, which has its benefits but can also lead to giving up big plays, which you simply cannot do if you face an Alabama or Georgia level team this winter

The defense must ensure they do not sacri fice big yardage plays for the occasional in terception Find the right balance, and we will see a lot of what we saw this past weekend from the Trojan defense

W hy Vaccinate Childr en Against COVID-19?

cians recommend that all children ages 6 months and older get vaccinated against COVID 19, with children 5 years and older getting booster shots as well

tentially life threatening complications from COVID

Overthe past few years, it seems like parents have been dealing with crisis after crisis From tran sitioning to virtual work to homeschooling their kids during the pandemic, families have done their best to care for their chil dren in these unusual circumstances Some times that means making decisions that are confusing If you're not sure whether to get your kids vaccinated against COVID 19, you're certainly not alone

Here, we're going to break down some of the basic facts about COVID and kids We hope this will help explain why pediatri

1 Thankfully, many children may only experience mild symptoms of COVID (cough, fever, body aches, etc ) However, some children may develop “long COVID,” which can be disabling

In the first week of September alone, there have been over 83,000 pediatric COVID cases reported One in four children de velop long COVID The most common symptoms are persistent feelings of tired ness, sleep disorders, and respiratory symp toms

2 Children can also develop serious, po

Children who get COVID are more likely to experience blood clots (acute pulmonary embolisms, venous thromboembolic events) and heart problems (myocarditis, cardiomyopathy)

Another potential consequence of COVID is a serious condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS C) As of August 29, 2022, 8,862 kids in the U S have developed MIS C And as of Septem ber 7, 2022, 1,437 kids in the U S have died of COVID

Children with underlying conditions, such as asthma, are more likely to develop com plications from COVID Here in the In land Empire, 1 in 10 children have asthma,

and San Bernardino County and Riverside County have some of the worst air pollution in the country Our children are vulnera ble, and with the COVID vaccine, we have another tool to protect them

3 The pediatric Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna COVID vaccines have been stud ied extensively, and they are extremely safe

The FDA only approved the vaccines after careful research studies that enrolled thou sands of children The vaccines can protect children from experiencing severe COVID symptoms, and they do not affect children’s DNA or their future fertility

Two Men and a Tr uck make it possible f or Inland r esidents to r elocate anywher e in the U.S

By Manny Sandoval

Samantha and Aaron Miller opened San Bernardino County’s Two Men and a Truck in July 2022, giving Inland residents affordable moving options in the region and across the country

“Our crew recently relocated a family from San Bernardino to Texas but we will travel all the way to the west coast We are known for our quality service, even pro viding complimentary blankets and stretch wrap to ensure nothing gets damaged, and that separates us from other moving companies in the region,” said Miller

Another attribute to the business that elevates its credibil ity and client trust comes from its highly trained staff in not just moving, but in junk removal as well

“All of our movers undergo an extensive background check to ensure that our clients are comfortable and not stressed handing off their furniture and most prized posses sions to our movers Every team member is professionally trained in customer service and operating our quality equip ment to move our clients to their new location success fully, continued Miller

Miller, an Inland Empire native and a mom of two two year old twins, has tapped into her experience working as an executive at Target and Macys where she coordinated celebrity appearances for the likes of Jessica Simpson and Betsy Johnson

“Around the time the COVID 19 pandemic hit, I discov ered that I was pregnant with twins and working at Macy’s I had the opportunity to continue working with Macy’s, but I would have had to move to New York, which was impos sible with twins So I took a year off and researched sus

tainable franchises and chose Two Men and a Truck be cause of the schedule flexibility the industry brings and the proximity of the business to our home,” Miller said

She says balancing a business and family life is challeng ing but can be achieved by planning and working while the kids sleep

“I’ve found that organizing my time has led me to get an ample amount of work done throughout the day I’d rec ommend to any working mom or business owner to try to schedule work when the kids lay down for a nap I also schedule a big block of time to work between 7 PM and midnight It can be done,” concluded Miller

Leyva Bill to Ban Sending Unsolicited Lewd Pictur es and Videos Signed Into Law

Community News

After receiving strong bipartisan support in the Leg islature, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation earlier today authored by Senator Connie M Leyva (D Chino) to establish legal protections for technology users when they receive un solicited sexually explicit images and videos, also known as ‘cyberflashing ’

Also known as the FLASH (Forbid Lewd Activity and Sexual Harassment) Act and sponsored by Bumble the women first dating and so cial networking app SB 53 would create a private right of action against any person over 18 years of age who knows or reasonably should know that the lewd image transmitted is unsolicited

“Cyberflashing is abusive and wrong so I am ecstatic that Governor Newsom signed SB 53 so we can em power survivors and hold perpetrators accountable for their offensive behavior,” Senator Leyva said

“No Californian should ever be sent a sexually ex plicit picture or video with out their consent and, when that happens, it is critical that survivors have a legal path to pursue following this technology based sex ual harassment I thank SB 53 sponsor Bumble for its continued work and leader ship on this issue that affects far too many Californians particularly young women across our state I am also grateful for the strong and enthusiastic sup port of my legislative col

leagues on both sides of the aisle for their support of the FLASH Act ”

In March, Bumble com missioned a survey and found that nearly one out of two (46%)* respondents within the United States had received an unsolicited lewd photo within their lifetime, and 54%* of those who had been sent one shared that they were not happy to have received it

Of the survey respondents who reported that they have received an unsolicited lewd image, one out of two (50%)* have received at least one unsolicited image within the past year and nearly one in three (29%)* respondents reported that they have received an unso licited lewd image within the past month

“I am grateful to Senator Leyva and all of the bipar tisan legislators who helped pass SB 53,” said Payton Iheme, Bumble’s Head of Public Policy for the Americas “California now joins Virginia and Texas in protecting people from unwarranted and un wanted lewd images This is just one more step in helping to make the inter net safer for all ”
