Poverty are the most vulnerable population." "I know when you think of the 'IE,' you think of 'Inland Empire.' From now on, I want you to think 'Inclusion and Equity," she added. "California allowed this to happen in part because there has never been a comprehensive plan," said Collis of the state's worst-in-nation child poverty crisis. "Now we have a plan that's science based and data based." "This is not an expense, it's an investment. If we invest in ending child poverty, it saves money in the long run," said Dolores Huerta. "We have a solution. The only thing that's lacking now is the will to make it happen." "How can anyone go to sleep at night knowing that we have children suffering in poverty," she added. "No matter what the numbers are that you hear about poverty, these are our children, every single one of them. So we cannot hold our heads high until every one of our kids is safe and well," said Sister Joyce Weller of the Daughters of Charity. The End Child Poverty CA Campaign is a joint project of GRACE and the GRACE End Child Poverty Institute partnering with the Dolores Huerta Foundation. GRACE is a ministry of Ministry Services of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. BACKGROUND: -California has the highest number of children and highest perRotary looking to expand, now and in the future. “We are always looking to add new members to the club.

centage of children living in poverty of any state. These two million children represent 20% of CA children. 450,000 CA children live in "deep" child poverty, a population that would represent the state’s eighth largest city — larger than Oakland, twice as large as San Bernardino, and just smaller than Long Beach. More than 200,000 California children experience homelessness. -State legislation created the Lifting Children and Families Out of Poverty Task Force. The goal was to change how poverty policy was promulgated. Too often, poverty spending simply adds to or reduces existing budget items. The goal here was to look at the data -- what works, what isn't, and build a plan from there. The result is a plan released in November 2018 to end deep child poverty in California in just four years and reduce overall child poverty in California by 50 percent over a decade. -The End Child Poverty CA Campaign was launched to rally support for implementing the plan. Comprising a diverse coalition of more than 60 organizations, it helped lead to a 2019-20 state budget that includes almost $5 billion in Task Force Plan investments. -At the event, Reyes, Huerta and Collis/the End Child Poverty CA campaign engaged community leaders to urge the state to keep going -- to implement other aspects of the plan to reach the goal of ending deep child poverty and reducing overall child poverty by 50%. Doing so will save lives and taxpayer dollars. For more information, visit www.endchildpovertyca.org/. The Rotary is anticipating reaching 100 new members during its 100th year. “I would like to personally invite business owners and service oriented individuals to our weekly Tuesday meeting, which is held at the Arrowhead Country Club, at 11:45 a.m.; and lunch is on us,” concluded Holmes. Arrowhead Country Club is located at 3433 N. Parkside Drive, San Bernardino.

It appears Republicans and Democrats are coming together on one issue that seemed intractable not long ago: climate change. In the Senate, Republican Senator Mike Braun of Indiana is teaming up with Delaware Democrat Chris Coons to form thebipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus. The Senate group complements the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in the House that was established in 2016. It became a judgment-free zone where members of both parties could come together for serious discussions about solving climate change. Today, there are myriad bipartisan climate bills in the House, thanks in no small part to the collaborative atmosphere the caucus created. A bipartisan approach to solving climate change is essential, because passing legislation requires buy-in from both sides of the aisle. Regardless of which party controls the Senate and White House, political winds shift, and policies with broad support will withstand those shifts. Republicans and Democrats are seeking common ground on climate change because public opinion has reached a tipping point that cannot be ignored. A CBS News poll last month found two-thirds of Americans view climate change as a crisis or serious problem, and a majority want immediate action. Overwhelming majorities of younger GOP voters regard climate change as a serious threat, too: 77 percent of them said so in a survey by Ipsos and Newsy this fall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just polling motivating Congress â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s citizens. Volunteers with Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Climate Lobby are carrying a clear message to their representatives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make climate a bridge issue, not a wedge issue.â&#x20AC;? CCL volunteers have held 1,131 meetings with congressional offices so far this year to bring the parties together on climate change. Now that we have Republicans

ising common ground. Thousands of U.S. economists support carbon pricing as an effective tool to reduce emissions quickly. Newsweek recently surveyed 300 multinational corporations and found that 95% favor mandatory carbon pricing. And according to Luntz Global, carbon pricing that includes a revenue return to Americans, has four to one support among all voters.

This year, four carbon pricing bills have been introduced with bipartisan sponsorship. Of the four, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 763) has attracted the most support, with 68 House members now signed on, including Republican Francis Rooney of Florida. This legislation would initiate a fee of $15 per metric ton of carbon, rising by $10 per ton each year. All revenue would be paid out equally to every household. In 10 years, a family of four would receive an annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;carbon dividendâ&#x20AC;? of about $3,500. Resources for the Future estimates this policy would reduce carbon emissions 47% by 2030. The bill targets 90% reductions by 2050. Here in Redlands and the Inland Empire support for this legislation has been expressed with Many constituent letters. That support, here and throughout the country, sends a signal to Republican lawmakers that backing H.R. 763 can be a politically astute move. Despite the current hyper-partisan atmosphere, elected officials are realizing that climate change is one area where differences must be set aside for the good of our nation and the world. Not only are they realizing it, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to act on it. Mark Reynolds is executive director of Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Climate Lobby.

Marines in any country that has them are sea-going infantry, The Continental Congress defined the Marine Corps as trained fighters not sailors - on ships against other ships, to seize and hold naval facilities and to protect aristocrat American naval officers from mutineers. While ships and the sea are critical to the definition of marines, the United States Marines fought their first battle action, the Battle of Princeton under command of General George Washington in New Jersey against.British forces. Their first amphibious landing was in the Bahamas in which they took Nassauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British fort without firing a shot. The next history making battle was in North Africa, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the shores of Tripoliâ&#x20AC;? in 1803 after the Marine Corps was reactivated after being dissolved at the end of the successful revolt against Great Britain. Marine Lieutenant Pressly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannon was sent to Egypt with orders to raise a fighting unit of 200 Arab and Greek mercenaries to be led by his eight Marines overland 900 miles to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbary Coastâ&#x20AC;? of Algiers/Tunisia to assist naval ships in attacking Muslim kidnappers of American merchant seamen. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men teamed with a U.S. Naval attack on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbary Piratesâ&#x20AC;? for a successful overseas adventure orchestrated by President Thomas Jefferson.

rine battle in Mexico City against the Mexican Army. The infantry of the sea is supposed to operate on seas or close by shorelines, but as in the Battle of Princeton, in Mexico City they fought as bona fide infantry far from the sea. The battle in Mexico City occurred at the castle of Chapultepec in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapultepec Park, the massive public park this writer picnicked on as a child. Americans know of this because this place and battle is known as having taken place in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Halls of Montezuma.â&#x20AC;? Many in the United States have demeaned U.S. Marines over the years calling them â&#x20AC;&#x153;seagoing bellhopsâ&#x20AC;? manifesting jealousy of the unmatched Marine dress uniform. Or, President Harry Truman â&#x20AC;&#x153;calling the Marine Corps â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a propaganda machine almost equal to (Soviet dictator) Stalinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Marines are, of course, greater than detractors. James F. Forrestal, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Secretary of Defense, commented to all the world about the Marine Corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future when from a ship hundreds of yards away he observed six Marines and one Navy corpsman raise the American flag on Mt.

[Ronald Reagan, U.S. President; 1985] â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean.

Gover nor Newsom’s ‘Statewide Exper t’ on homelessness visits San Ber nardino County

arrell Steinberg, Sacramento’s mayor, co-chair of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Homeless and Supportive Housing Advisory Task Force, and co-author of the seminal Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), visited San Bernardino County this week to hear from residents and experience first-hand how San Bernardino County Behavioral Health’s (DBH) MHSA-funded programs and services have lifted people out of homelessness, poverty and addiction. Steinberg’s visit was part of his plan to tour different counties around the state to observe best practices and strategies relating to homelessness and behavioral health prevention, diversion, and intervention. Steinberg will use the information, coupled with input received from local governments and constituents, to inform the state’s work on homelessness and its mental health system. Just hours prior to Steinberg’s visit to the county, the Department of Health Care Services announced a new framework for Medi-Cal reform through CalAIM (CA Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal), a program seeking to leverage Medicaid to help address the challenges facing California’s most vulnerable residents, such as homelessness and behavioral health care access. While here, Steinberg toured an MHSA-funded recreational vehicle transformed into a mobile health clinic providing physical and behavioral health care, often to those experiencing homeless-

ness, and visited a Transitional Age Youth Center to speak with formerly homeless youth who, through support from MHSAfunded programs, accessed behavioral health treatment and supportive housing and are now thriving. His tour also included a visit to a crisis residential and stabilization treatment center, a supportive housing project, and a roundtable discussion with County leaders and community partners. “As the author of the Mental Health Services Act, it was incredibly rewarding to see how successfully San Bernardino County is deploying these critical resources,” said Steinberg. Addressing unsheltered homelessness must be a top priority for local governments across our state, and San Bernardino programs are a model for other jurisdictions to utilize MHSA to address the crisis.” “I was proud to demonstrate to Mayor Steinberg the great programs and projects our county is implementing thanks to the MHSA funding we receive,” said Fifth District Supervisor Josie Gonzales, who chairs the San Bernardino County Interagency

Council on Homelessness. “I am hopeful that the Task Force will continue working with local jurisdictions to ensure they have the flexibility to continue to delivery vital services specific to needs of our chronically homeless population.” “MHSA disrupted the status quo surrounding behavioral health care in our state and allowed behavioral health providers like DBH to expand our service delivery model to include preventive and supportive services to address homelessness in persons living with a debilitating mental illness, which has significantly changed the trajectory of this disease,” said DBH Director Veronica Kelley. “DBH is thankful for leaders like Mayor Steinberg who are passionate about the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community and willing to speak on and work towards creating a world where everyone is able to achieve optimum wellness.” Since its inception in 2005, MHSA funding has allowed DBH to house over 600 people and expand preventative services to over 150,000 additional people annually.

Words to Think About: Doctrine of Univer salism anity (Antioch, Alexandria, Cesarea, Edessa, Ephesus and Rome.) Rome was the only center that taught the endless punishment of the lost. The two most prominent theologians opposing Universalism were Tertullian and Augustine.

G. W. Abersold, Ph.D.

Universalism. A big word but an even bigger meaning and significance. It is the belief that every person from the beginning of time to the end will be saved. There is no hell. “A related doctrine, apocatastasis is the belief that all mortal beings will be reconciled to God.” For several hundred years following the deaths of the Apostles, the Church was dominated by the Patristic Fathers. Men like Origen, Tertullian, Iranaeus, Jerome, Gregory of Nyssa and Clement of Alexandria. The doctrine of Universalism is usually traced back to the teachings of Origen. (185-284) He was a follower of Clement of Alexandria and a prolific writer. Most Early Christian scholars affirmed that Universalism was an accepted view among Christians at that time. For five or six centuries there were six main centers of Christi-

The teachings of Origen (including his views on hell) were declared anathema at the Ecumenical Council of 553. This plus the fall of the Roman Empire, which brought the demise of all Christian Centers but Rome, caused the further lack of acceptance of Universalism. The only Church remaining was at Rome, which became the Roman Catholic Church. The rise of Augustine’s influence on Christianity brought many beliefs into the Catholic Church that are now considered traditional: original sin, celibacy of priests, the confessional and especially, purgatory. This belief (purgatory) is really a quasi acceptance of Universalism. Through prayers and Masses, the purification will enable the dead to enter heaven. When the Protestant Reformation came along both Martin Luther and John Calvin took a strong position against Universalism. The subsequent revivals in the United States fanned the flames of the belief in hell fire.

an all-powerful God would create something (Satan and hell) over which He had no control. John 3:16 says categorically that “God so loved the world. . . that whoever believes in Him (God) shall The Apostle Paul is often quoted not perish.” as being an opponent of Universalism. Yet, he often supports it. In I John 2:2 are these words, Examples are: Romans 5:18, I “Jesus Christ is the atoning sacriCorinthians 15:22, II Corinthians fice for our sins; and not only ours, 5:19, Colossians 1:15-23, Philip- but also for the sins of the whole world.” pians 2:11, I Timothy 2:4. All of the evangelists from Jonathan Edwards to Billy Sunday to Dwight L. Moody to Billy Graham have emphasized a literal hell for non-Christians.

Even Augustine said, “There are very many in our day, who though not denying the Holy Scriptures, do not believe in endless torments.” 2) It is irrational to believe that

The origin of a hell didn’t have its beginning in Hebrew of Christian literature. The Sumerian, Egyptian and Greek mythologies first developed a place of torment for wayward souls. It was not viewed as eternal. Dante and John Milton cemented the eternal hell for fundamentalists.

Bishop Carlton Pearson of Tulsa, Oklahoma has written a thoroughly documented book that gives the history and explanation of Universalism. “The Gospel of Inclusion” A sample of his writing. “We have spent a lot of energy over the centuries trying to figure out ways to keep God from killing or persecuting us. All religions assume that role, presuming that God is angry and needs to be appeased. In an effort to placate this angry God, we have created doctrines, dogmas, and disciplines that have contributed to the global conflicts that prevent world peace. It is time to change.” Amen. Selah. So be it.

Loma Linda Univer sity Health perfor ms Inland Empire’s fir st spinal ablation surger y to treat tumor s

new, innovative and minimally invasive procedure called Spinal Tumor Ablation with Radiofrequency was successfully performed last month at Loma Linda University Health, the first such procedure in the Inland Empire. The procedure involves making small incisions in the back at each bone level to insert a probe directly into the tumor. The probe emits heat generated by the radiofrequency to kill the tumor cells. Once the tumor has been ablated, surgeons then stabilize the weakened bone by performing kyphoplasty — a procedure in which the surgeon uses a balloonlike device to inject cement into the spine. Spinal Tumor Ablation can be performed in as little as a few hours and allows patients to return to activities more quickly than traditional surgeries. “This is a great minimally invasive therapy for patients with metastatic disease or primary tumor of bone because it provides patients another option for better quality of life and control of their tumor disease without exposing them to the risk of traditional surgeries,” said Namath Hussain, MD, a neurosurgeon who performed the procedure. Hussain said traditional surgeries to remove a spinal tumor often involve opening the chest (thoracotomy), removal of some ribs and cutting the bone that was affected (corpectomy). Surgeons would

then stabilize the bone with metal rods, plates, pins, screws or wires. These surgeries typically left patients in the hospital for long periods of time and required rehabilitation, making the recovery time longer. “Our parameters for success are dependent on an individual’s ability to walk and participate in their daily activities. Being bed-ridden dramatically decreases those chances,” Hussain said. “Our goal is to ensure that people are staying active. A procedure like spinal tumor ablation helps individuals return to normal activity quicker, increases success and decreases morbidity.” Hussain performed the procedure on patient Dave Romero, who had developed a spinal tumor as a result of Stage 4 lung cancer. Romero’s journey to Loma Linda University Health began in April when first visiting his primary care physician for a persistent cough. A lung biopsy determined Romero had Stage 4 lung cancer, and he soon found himself at Loma Linda University Cancer Center under the care of oncologist Hamid R. Mishahidi, MD. After sharing his pain symptoms with Mirshahidi, Romero was introduced to Hussain for surgery. “Prior to my surgery, it was quite difficult and painful to walk.” Romero says, “When walking, I experienced shooting pains down

my pelvis and could feel the pain from the tumor pressing against my spine.” Romero added he wasn’t too worried about the surgery. “I had a lot of confidence in Dr. Hussain. I was able to leave the following afternoon and the pain was gone,” Romero said. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons estimates that at least 30% of cancer patients will experience spread of cancer to their spine, also called bone metastases or metastatic tumor. Two immediate problems can occur when these develop, Hussain said. First, the bones weaken under the force of holding normal weight, causing patients to experience bone pain, broken bones, fractures and lesions. In some cases, they may develop kyphosis or a curvature of the back, becoming unable to stand straight. Secondly, the tumor can weaken the nerves causing numbness or paralysis in the arms and legs over time. Spinal Tumor Ablation is now being offered at Loma Linda University Health.
