San Bernardino Valley College partners with Siembra Mobile to broaden communication with high school students

S

an Bernardino Valley College has partnered with Siembra Mobile to expand its lines of communication with local high school students and their parents. Siembra's digital communication platform, accessible via computer or smartphone, directly links SBVC to prospective students and their parents in the local school districts of Colton, San Bernardino, and Rialto. The platform streamlines contact between students, parents and college recruiters, and provides a means of tracking individual high school student preparedness for college. SBVC administrators hope that this partnership with Siembra will both help to expand the number of high school graduates entering higher education in the region and help the college to develop stronger relationships with future students before they even step foot on campus.

Dr. Scott Thayer, Vice President of Student Services at SBVC, recently described the growing necessity of a messaging platform like Siembra during the global COVID-19 pandemic. "At a time where it's difficult to connect with students and parents, this platform is a valuable tool in maintaining that consistent communication and investing in students' education early on," he said. Starting in the ninth grade, students using Siembra can begin to receive messages directly from college recruiters, which they can access on a smartphone or computer. A built-in feature called the Stop Light System lets students track their academic progress, with green indicating college readiness and yellow or red signaling a need to reassess or remediate academic progress prior to graduation.

SBVC's outreach team plans to use the platform to message prospective students while they are still in high school, guiding them on coursework they should take to prepare for college and notifying them of special events, registration deadlines, and financial aid opportunities on campus. Messages can be sent in English and Spanish and targeted to specific groups of students with common interests or goals. "This is a platform that allows us to let students know very early on that college can be a reality," Frederick Jones, Director of Product Marketing & User Experience at Siembra and SBVC alumnus, said. "You send them the right messages, and they start to make the right choices." To learn more about Siembra Mobile, visit www.siembramobileinc.com.

Southern mac and cheese, greens, and double chocolate chip cake; all prepared by Sherman’s wife Kenya Owens and Chef Curtis, who bring over 30 years of professional cooking experience to the restaurant.

Helen’s professional experience started in high school, when she worked as a grassroots organizer helping to elect candidates across Southern California. In 2006, Helen began working for the City of San Bernardino as the Executive Assistant to the Director of Human Resources. Ten years later, Helen became the youngest Director of Human Resources for the City of San Bernardino.

“I’m grateful to all of my partners, including my brother Ryan Sherman, Kenya Owens, and my business partner Demetrius Mayo. I was inspired to create a restaurant here in San Bernardino because this is the city I grew up in and there is such a need for authentic Southern food in our city. So many of us have to travel miles away to find this type of food,” continued Sherman. An alumni of Cole Elementary, Serrano Middle, and San Gorgonio High School, Sherman is proud to serve the community that has shaped him into the person he is today.

“We initially planned to open the restaurant back in April, but that was all cancelled as everything quickly shut down due to the pandemic. We faced a few challenges along the way and we didn’t qualify for any small business relief because our restaurant hadn’t opened yet. It’s such a great feeling to be open,” Sherman said. One way the restaurant was able to make it through the initial COVID-19 storm was thanks to the owner of the building, Larry Hepburn, who gave the restaurant a break on rent for over four months. The restaurant celebrated its official ribbon cutting on January 20th with the Black Chamber of Commerce Inland Empire and Youth Visionaries in attendance. “We’re looking forward to con-

uilding Wealth Initiative was founded in 2016 with an original goal of connecting businesses to homeowners in the Inland Empire, to strengthen the wealth of both parties. The organization was founded by California Curb Appeal Real Estate Real Property Inc. Founder Bobbi Albano, who was in a Master of Business Administration Entrepreneurialism program at California State University, San Bernardino, which inspired her endeavor. “When I was in my MBA program at CSUSB I was in a class where we had to start a business. I wanted to start a real estate agency, but I knew with all the legal aspects to it, I would not have enough time to finish it in a semester; so, I took the non-profit route,” said Albano. The non-profit route that Albano

initially took was California Curb Appeal, in which she connected business owners to homeowners, where homeowners could purchase services at a discounted rate and businesses could build its client base. “We hit so many bumps in the road with our first iteration of the non-profit, but today we have a strong team and solid trajectory. Our team is looking forward to pushing out workshops, building business partners, and assisting non-profits with solidifying their success in the greater community,” continued Albano. In the future, the organization anticipates hosting many networking opportunities such as mixers, while some of the forthcoming workshops include topics such as financial literacy, social media strategies for businesses, how to strengthen non-profit grant applications and first-time home buying options. “Our goal is to become a strong resource for small business and

the individual, as we will strive to be the jumping off space for success, because when one wins we all win. I’m looking forward to the future in serving our community,” concluded Albano. Today the organization is stacked with board and committee members who specialize in areas such as real estate, marketing, public affairs, media, strategic philanthropy and business. Board members include President Manny Sandoval, Presidentelect Chrystina Smith, Secretary Scott Olivas, and Treasurer Bobbi Albano. Building Wealth Initiative’s committee includes Chair Bobbi Albano, Programs Chair Lisa Gordon, Fundraising Chair Lacey Kendall, and Grants Chair Tanay Colon.

Residents aged 65+ begin to receive COVID- 19 vacc inatio ns

S

ince California authorized counties to provide COVID-19 vaccines to all individuals aged 65 and over, thousands of older residents in San Bernardino County have begun to receive their first dose or have made a reservation for a future appointment. At this time, however, all available appointment times at County Public Health sites are full and the County is advising residents that a current shortage of vaccines will delay that effort. The County hosts a registration page on its vaccine website for County sites, hospitals, and pharmacies that are administering vaccinations. “While we are eager to focus vaccinations on older residents, we simply do not have enough doses to meet the needs of all 65 and over individuals in the county at this time,” said County Department of Health Director Corwin Porter. “We are focusing intensely on obtaining additional supplies and will move forward quickly when we receive them.”

San Bernardino has been among the state’s most adept counties in its distribution of the vaccines, having administered or allocated some 82% of the 90,400 of the first-round doses it has received. The County has also allocated 88% of the 62,200 doses it has received. Efforts to expand vaccination effort underway While the County continues to vaccinate its most vulnerable individuals — namely frontline health care workers, along with staff and residents of long-term care facilities — it is also expanding operational and logistical procedures to ensure the process will proceed efficiently once the County obtains additional vaccines. To start, there is a sign-up form on the County’s COVID-19 Vaccination website where 65 and over residents can register to receive vaccination news, including vaccination opportunities. In less than one week more than 22,000

seniors have signed up for these notifications. Also, the County will soon announce community vaccination sites, including “super-site” events (see related story), and there are new partnerships secured and in the works with private pharmacies to distribute the vaccine, including Walgreens and Costco. There currently are six Countyrun vaccination sites scheduling appointments for qualified individuals: ARMC Family Health Centers in San Bernardino and Rialto Hesperia Health Center Ontario Health Center San Bernardino Health Center County Human Resources Test Center (County employees only) There are also currently more than 10 Vons, Sav-On, Rite-Aid and Ralph’s pharmacies serving as vaccination sites as well as six hospital sites. For more information see the Vaccine Locations & Registration link on the County’s COVID-19 Vaccination site.

Super Bowl LV preview and predictions: Buccaneers vs Chiefs neers. Who arguably have the greatest player to play in the NFL. So what matchups are there to look out for and who do I believe will come out on top? Let’s find out.

A

fter much doubt on whether the NFL season would be completed, here we are, the Super Bowl. The matchup isn’t all that surprising. We have the young, reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs who arguably have the greatest offense ever assembled. Then their opponent, the Tampa Bay Bucca-

We start with both offenses. On the Kansas City side we have former MVP Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is a once in a generational talent. He has elite throw power, accuracy, and is mobile. Allowing him to make any play a game changing one. He is joined by a WR core that is as fast as it can get. This core includes The Cheetah, Tyreek Hill, the fastest player in the game. He lines up alongside Mecole Hardman, another speedster. At the TE end spot is Travis Kelce. Who continues to break every record there is and continues to make his case as the greatest receiving TE of all time. The RB’s also are solid. It features the rookie out of LSU Clyde Ed-

wards-Helaire and 28 year old Damian Willams. Meanwhile, on the Bucs side we see familiar faces. The man that doesn’t age, TB12, Tom Brady who looks as poised as ever to win another ring. He is joined by Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and his 2 main targets with his old pal Rob Gronkowski at the tight end spot. The RB core includes Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones II. Both capable of making big plays. These teams both have solid defenses too. The chiefs defense features the honey badger, Tyrann Mathieu who is a leader on and off the field. Meanwhile DT Chris Jones looks to get to the QB and stuff the run game. The Buccaneers meanwhile have an elite DLine that gave Aaron Rodgers a lot of trouble in the NFC title game. This D-Line features Ndamukong Suh and Jason Pierre-Paul. Meanwhile at the

State lifts stay-at-home orders for all counties week ICU capacity projection for the Southern California Region at 30.8%, which is well above the 15% that triggered the order. ICU capacity in the county has stood at zero for several weeks as holiday gatherings caused case rates and hospitalizations to soar at record levels. Regional ICU capacity has improved to 14.4%. As a result of the announcement, the following guidelines will be implemented immediately: • In-person gatherings, which were previously prohibited, are now permitted for up to members of three households.

W

ith the state easing out of the post-holiday COVID-19 spike, and ICU capacity increasing throughout the state, including in San Bernardino County, Gov. Gavin Newsom today lifted the strict regional stay-at-home orders issued in December — moving the County back into the previous tier system. San Bernardino County remains in the Purple Tier. As a result, local restaurants will be allowed to open for outdoor service, personal care services (such as hair and nail salons) may reopen with modifications, retailers may allow more customers into their stores and campgrounds may resume operations, among other changes. “This is great news for businesses and county residents who have been struggling financially since March 2020, but most espe-

cially since December when the State imposed the Regional Stayat-Home Order,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman. “This is a huge step forward in our recovery. With the vaccine being rolled out throughout the state, I am cautiously optimistic about the year ahead and encourage residents to get vaccinated as soon as they are able.” Currently, the county’s adjusted daily case rate is 61.2 per 100,000 residents. It must be at 7 or less before the county can progress to the red tier. The county gets credit toward lowering the case rate by exceeding the statewide median testing rate, so testing is still vital not just for protecting residents from illness but for reopening our economy and getting residents back to work. The state lifted the stay-at-home order when it calculated the four-

• Restaurants, which previously were limited to take-out and delivery, may now provide outdoor dining. (Limited indoor dining remains prohibited until the County reaches the red tier.) • Hair and nail salons, barbershops, and other personal services may now reopen with limited capacity. • Grocery stores may expand capacity to 50%, compared to 35% under the prior restrictions. Other retailers may increase capacity from 20% to 25% capacity. • Hotels and other short-term rental lodging can serve non-essential patrons with restrictions. • Museums and zoos can resume outside operations.

linebacker position, Shaquil Barrett hopes to help the Bucs win a Super Bowl in their own stadiums. Now finally, prediction time. A reminder the game is indeed being played at the Bucs home stadium but I don’t believe that will make a difference. I see the Chiefs winning a tight game, 31-24 and winning back to back Super Bowl wins. In addition, I predict Travis Kelce will have a big game and earn a very rare tight end Super Bowl LV MVP. It’s been a long NFL season full of shut down facilities and constant uncertainty over whether the

season would be completed, but it will be (knock on wood, there’s still a week and a half until the actual game). Will Tom Brady add to his illustrious career, or will Patrick Mahomes earn himself a 2nd super bowl ring as he looks to continue to from his legacy? Only time will tell.

75% of COVID vaccine in U.S. sitting in freezers, not in people’s arms By Sunita Sohrabji

T

he U.S. has obtained more than 31 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, but has administered only about 12 million vaccinations nationwide, according to Jan. 14 data from the Centers for Disease Control. About 10.5 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccination — representing about 3 percent of the U.S. population. Only 1.6 million people have received the recommended two doses of the vaccine. California, which is currently facing the highest number of new infections and an average of 584 deaths per day with 10,000 deaths overall over the past 30 days, has distributed less than 25 percent of the 3.4 million doses it has on hand. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Jan. 12 that 1 million more vaccinations will be administered by Jan. 17; he also announced that anyone over the age of 65 can now get a vaccine. “I don’t think we have treated this as the emergency that it is,” said Dr. Robert Wachter, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, at a Jan. 13 round-table briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services. He compared the death rates from COVID as the equivalent of a daily 9/11 terrorist attack, with about 5,000 people dying from the virus each day in the U.S.

“75 percent of the vaccines are sitting in refrigerators and freezers right now. And that’s scandalous.”

medical centers who have staff trained to handle deep freeze material.

“We attacked the development of the vaccine as an emergency, but we’ve attacked the distribution of the vaccine as a relatively routine process that we will kind of stumble around until we figure out the right answer. That clearly is not working very well,” said Wachter.

That issue has been somewhat ameliorated with the Moderna vaccine, which can be shipped and stored at -10 degrees Celsius, allowing community hospitals, local health departments, and long-term care facilities the ability to store and administer vaccinations.

The lack of a comprehensive national plan has greatly contributed to a bottleneck in administering the vaccine, said Wachter, noting that states have received little guidance from federal agencies and have had to create their own processes, resulting in a piecemeal approach across the country.

“Quite frankly, some states thought this was going to be just another flu campaign and they didn’t prepare sufficiently. This vaccine is more elaborate to administer in a variety of different ways. That has kind of gummed up the works,” said Schaffner.

Wachter noted the irony: earlier, the U.S. health care community thought it would be hampered by the inability to manufacture sufficient supplies of the vaccine. But, in a twist, the supply is there without the means to effectively distribute it. His priority would be to get all people over the age of 55 immediately vaccinated, which could reduce up to 92 percent of COVID-related deaths. Dr. William Schaffner, professor of Preventive Medicine in the Department of Health Policy as well as Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee, noted at the briefing that the Pfizer vaccine has to be shipped and stored at -70 degrees Celsius, which means that large

Vaccine hesitancy — people unwilling to be vaccinated — is prevalent, especially in ethnic and rural communities. Schaffner noted that in his “big, red state” of Tennessee, there is a lot of skepticism about the virus and a real resistance to getting the shot. Unfortunately, he noted, these are also people who are not wearing masks. Wachter said he was disheart-

ened by Ohio Governor Mike Dewine’s recent announcement that 60 percent of workers in nursing homes have chosen not to get vaccinated. “It’s absolutely horrifying, because we know the vaccines are unbelievably effective, and we now know they are very, very safe,” he said. Schaffner addressed vaccine hesitancy in the Black and Latinx population. “We need to extend the benefits of this vaccination to our entire population with its wonderful diversity in this country. “We particularly have to reach the Black population, the LatinX population and other minority populations who have historical reasons to mistrust medical care. We need to not only provide them the information but a sense of reassurance and comfort that this is the right thing to do. It’s good for them. It’s good for their neighbors and their family,” he said. Schaffner noted that advocacy is particularly effective when a member of the community — a clergyman or a sports figure — delivers the information, and added that the Biden administration is developing communityspecific outreach plans.
