Assemlymember Eloise Reyes empower s young women
O
n Friday, March 16th Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes hosted the Girls and Young Women’s Empowerment Conference in partnership with Senator Connie Leyva and the Girls Scouts of San Gorgonio. The aim of the conference was to empower young women of the 47th Assembly District to be their own shero.
“Our goal was to empower these young women to recognize the power they have to control their own destiny,” said Assemblymember Reyes. “That message was echoed throughout the Arroyo Valley High School Gymnasium as the girls came together and uplifted each other.” 300 girls from middle schools and high schools throughout the 47th Assembly District attended the event, each of them receiving a cape and mask to unleash their inner shero. The conference’s Mistress of Ceremony was Tamara Ellison who shared with the girls that their disappointments do not define who they are.
The girls also had the opportunity to attend various workshops on Financial Literacy presented by U.S. Bank, STEAM presented by Anne Marie Allen, Chaffey College, Job Readiness presented by Tyiesha Coulson, Goodwill Industries and Healthy Relationships presented by Sophia Weidner, House of Ruth.

he San Manuel Band of Mission Indians hosted the 10th Annual Forging Hope Yawa’ Awards Thursday evening to celebrate the transformative work of nonprofits in the Inland Empire and Indian Country. Award recipients embody the time-honored Serrano concept of Yawa’ – “to act on one’s beliefs.” With the help of Native actor, Jason Grasl as emcee, San Manuel honored four organizations who have demonstrated the essence of Yawa’ by making a significant difference in four philanthropic areas – economic/community development, health, education and special projects. The event was held on the reservation. “Oftentimes our nonprofits go without thanks or recognition for the life-changing work they do; so the Yawa’ Awards are our way of thanking the groups that work every day to better this region,” said San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairwoman Lynn Valbuena. “It has been an honor for San Manuel to host these awards for the past 10 years and celebrate organizations who are following their call to Yawa’.” The honorees are organizations that have done extraordinary work to benefit and support the communities they serve. The 2018 Yawa’ Award recipients are: March “As families of the victims and survivors of the Dec 2 shooting, we support the ban of sales of military grade weapons,” reads a press statement. “Such weapons have no place in the hands of the general public. These weapons of war make our families, our students, our law enforcement and first responders unsafe and vulnerable to such horrific attacks.”
· Think Together, Inland Empire (Riverside, San Bernardino), for providing safe, after-school programs that help prepare students for college and career. · American Indian Changing Spirits (Long Beach), for their dedication to providing culturallycentered treatment to American Indians who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction · Path of Life Ministries (Riverside) for their commitment to restoring the lives of formerly homeless individuals through their Employment Pipeline Program. · Americans for Indian Opportunity (Albuquerque, N.M.) for their work to grow Indigenous valuesbased leadership for Native professionals through their Ambassadors Program. As a part of the 10th anniversary of the event, the Tribe debuted original art pieces to serve as awards for the Yawa’ Award recipients – hand-painted, traditional gourd rattles. Designed by the youth of the reservation and encased in glass, each honoree received one of the specially designed awards to commemorate their dedication to acting on their beliefs. Also in attendance were representatives of 100 regional nonprofit groups who serve greater San Bernardino, the Inland Empire, or Indian Country. million guns in circulation. That's nearly one firearm per American (U.S. population is currently at 320 million), according to the Gun Violence Archive. Inland Congregations United for Change organizer Sergio Luna explained that recent tragedies have encourage faith based leaders to align their efforts around gun violence reduction with national efforts.
Discussions surrounding gun control and the accessibility of military grade weapons are once more at the forefront of political discussions across the country. The recent mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida last month sparked an emergence of student activism that is calling on lawmakers and interest groups like the National Rifle Association to take responsibility for gun violence.
“These assault rifles are weapons of war,” said Luna. “They’re not safe for anyone.”

San Ber nardino County job g rowth ahead of Orange and Los Angeles counties
A
s businesses and residents continue to be priced out of Southern California’s coastal communities, San Bernardino County is experiencing growth across a number of economic indicators. That fact and more was part of the information delivered to more than 1,000 business, community and government leaders at the 2018 San Bernardino County Regional Business Summit and State of the County. “If you are between the ages of 15 and 50, the opportunities in this County are incredible,” Robert Lovingood, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. “We continue to be the only region in the state that is attracting millennials, and that is a factor that is allowing us to grow and add jobs. Businesses can attract talent here.” Along with an opening message by Lovingood, the event shared important data about the region’s growth supported by business executive commentary, including the fact that San Bernardino County is leading job growth in Southern Forum like marijuana regulation, economic development, prostitution, and homelessness. Throughout the evening Valdivia and Davis notably took turns criticizing one another. Valdivia is vowing to take a “tough on crime” approach if elected—one that builds on Davis’ “lack of productivity.” “I will clean this town up,” claims Valdivia. “I will make it my endeavor to clean this town up.” Valdivia claimed that he’s not a part of the establishment, but the solution to San Bernardino’s ails. His record of distinction in the Third Ward includes cleaning up graffiti and building relationships with residents. “Our city is at a crossroads,” said Valdivia. “We need dynamic, bold leadership. At the end of the day, we want a Mayor...that will get back to the basics of government.” Davis said there is no doubt parts of the city are in dire need of
California ahead of Orange and Los Angeles counties. One of the County’s local success stories, Kids that Code, is an example of that growth. Pat Person, executive director, Kids That Code, started the company with colleagues at the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE) at CSU, San Bernardino, a top 35 global program for fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. “Students that go through our computer training programs will be instrumental as building blocks for a tech community in our County,” said Person. Additional County attributes include the growth of Ontario International Airport. “LAX needs a stronger Ontario Airport because LAX is running out of capacity. Ontario could be positioned as the key long-haul airport for Southern California,” added Klowden. The airport, now under local County control, has been growing, adding new service with Frontier Airlines and China Airlines. The County’s entrepreneurial spirit was also cited. Parliament Chocolate is a local entrepreneurial success story. “Operating here
is amazing. It has given us the ability to expand and add stores,” said Ryan Berk, founder, Parliament Chocolate. He added that the young start-up is already shipping product across the U.S. and to international markets. New ideas are also being incubated in the County on the campus of world-class health sciences center Loma Linda University Health at N3eight. This new center is working with ten start-ups seeking to launch medical innovations ranging from equipment used in surgery to wellness diagnostic tools to treating cancer. “This is a great environment for biotech companies to start, grow and develop deep roots,” shared Michael R. Samardzija, PhD, JD, Associate Vice President of Research Development, Loma Linda University Health. Klowden closed the presentation, noting, “ The main advantage for San Bernardino County is that it has the most ability to attract young people, to find low cost and lower regulatory locations, diversity, access to international markets, and the ability to attract investment in.”
economic development. The new charter, approved by voters in 2016, is helping provide the necessary structure to spur San Bernardino’s economic growth. A good example of that could be seen with the international airport, Davis said. “We have a $30 million reserve and we will continue to strengthen that,” he said. Davis added that he believes the city is on the right track. Under his leadership, they have established goals based on economics and urban development. Seeing out those goals, Davis said, will depend on responsible fiscal practices. “That’s why I think it’s important to re-elect me,” said Davis. “We’ve already established the pathway to success.” Mayor Davis also reminded the crowd that Valdivia was among the individuals that spearheaded the Measure P cannabis initiative that failed at the ballot box in 2016. Tillman, who previously ran for mayor in 2013, thinks it makes no
sense to support homeless people that reside in other cities. The County should be willing to help the city with these residents, he said. Every candidate—excluding Avila—expressed willingness to regulate and tax marijuana for economic and social benefit. “I don’t want this to be a weed town,” said Avila Roe believes there is too much stigma surrounding marijuana. At-risk students are in danger due to the lack of after school programs, not because of the substance. “It starts with education,” she said. Roe also said she would like to partner with the school district to improve conditions in areas surrounding schools. Her vision involves being transparent with residents, Roe explained. “Do you want someone who tells the truth or someone who tells half-truths?” Candidates Gigi Hanna and Daniel Malmuth did not attend the forum.

Now - December 11 - the California State University San Bernardino Anthropology Dept. presents “InlDignity” an exhibit aimed at exploring and dismantling intolerance through the experiences of Inland Empire residents. In/Dignity takes its title from a double entendre simultaneously reading as a single word - indignity - and two separate words - in dignity. These two meanings capture precisely what the exhibit examines: experiences with oppression, discrimination, bigotry, exclusion, stigma, and prejudice, and simultaneously the pride and self-respect that is necessary for everyone facing injustice. The Museum is located in the university’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences building’s third floor, room SB-306. The Museum is open 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. For information and to arrange tours call the museum director at 909.537.5505 or visit: https://csbs.csusb.edu/anthropolgymuseum. Admission is free, parking is $6.00.

Henr y Nickel to change Sacramento’s culture of politics if elected to Assembly
an Bernardino Councilman Henry Nickel announced yesterday that he will be seeking the Assembly District 40 seat that will be relinquished by Marc Steinorth in November.

Rising crime and homelessness, poor educational attainment, stringent state regulations, and rising taxes are making it difficult for cities like San Bernardino to bounce back from hardship, Nickel explained.
Nickel was particularly critical of Senate Bill 1--the $52 billion gas tax passed by the state legislature last year. Passing the “sham”

prospective employees would be hesitant about moving to an unknown Midwestern city, especially with the threat that Cummins might relocate its headquarters to a large city. How could Cummins credibly commit to retaining its headquarters in Columbus? One way was to make costly investments that only pay off if Cummins stays in town. Such is the case for the architecture program—Cummins only derives value from its infrastructure investments by retaining its headquarters in the town. Cummins leadership has, like the individual announcing new weight-loss plans on social media, tied its own hands. In so doing, Cummins transformed Columbus into a more desirable destination for prospective employees not simply by improving public infrastructure, but by sending a message that they were committed to the town for decades to come. Potential employees could be reasonably certain that the town would continue to flourish—due to Cummins’ commitment—and thus be a low-risk destination to establish a family. The credible commitment also sends a message to prospective entrepreneurs. In most cases, the prospect of a company town is a risky proposition for small-time business-owners. Should the company fold or leave, the town predictably becomes a ghost. Credible commitments can mitigate one of these risks—the threat of the firm leaving, thus incentivizing entrepreneurs to select the location for opening shop. While this logic is supported by economic theory, it’s more than speculation in the Cummins-Columbus case. Here are the words of a local bakery owner: “[Cummins has] got hundreds of millions invested in the city. They're not going to leave it. They're not going anywhere.” Other philanthropic efforts, while undoubtedly conferring goodwill and tax benefits on the company pursuing them, would have failed to achieve Cummins’ most pressing need: a highly skilled workforce willing to forsake the job opportunities inherent in large cities for the relative risk of an otherwise unknown Midwestern town.

he fourth U.S. president was James Madison. He was born on March 16, 1751 in Port Conway, Virginia. He is important because he wrote the first drafts of the U.S. Constitution, co-wrote the Federalist Papers and sponsored the Bill of Rights. This consisted of the first ten (10) of the Amendments to the Constitution. He and his friend Thomas Jefferson established the Democrat-Republican Party. Jefferson became the third President and Madison the fourth President in 1808. Madison initiated the War of 1812

he March madness college basketball tournament has started yet again and it, as usual, has been, well...madness. The left side of brackets 1 and 2 seeds are all gone. But one big upset has all of the sports world still left in shock. Number 1 Virginia, the favored team to win the whole tournament throughout America’s brackets, lost to the number 16 Seed UMBC Retrievers. A 16th seed had never beaten a first-seed in the men’s tournament much less come even close, until now. The Retrievers blew out the Virginia team by 20 points! While the win was something that will forever be remembered in history, the post game interviews were priceless. At this point in America it seems like life revolves around the famous game, Fortnite (last article!). After being asked what the key to their upset was, Retriever members did in fact answer, Fortnite. Apparently, right before leaving the game their team leader got 2 solo wins in a row. As if they weren’t already gaining enough popularity, the gaming community
with England and served two terms in the White House, with First Lady Dolley Madison. He died on June 26, 1836 at age 85. Historically, he is known as the “Father of the Constitution.” Madison grew up in Orange County, Virginia and was the oldest of 12 children. Seven of his siblings lived to adulthood. His father, James, was a successful farmer and owned more than 3,000 acres and had scores of slaves. When Jefferson became President, James Madison was his Secretary of State. James Madison was sickly in his early years and was tutored privately. In 1769, at 18 years old, he enrolled at the College of New Jersey. It became obvious that Madison was more of a writer than a fighter and his talents were put to good use in 1776. He became a member of the Virginia Convention where he met Thomas Jefferson. They became good friends and a lifelong relationship. Which brings me to a vague and often misunderstood thought. Is there a difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? Yes, there is. Thomas Jefferson was the primary author of the former. It espouses the hopes and dreams of the new

nation. It separated the Colonies from the British nation. It established the ideals of the new nation. The latter, the Constitution, formulates the structure of government. The Executive Branch; the Judicial Branch (Supreme Court), and the Legislative Branch (the Senate and the Congress). Laws are made, another carries them out and one considers their legality. Another important part of the Constitution is the Amendments. This deals with items that were omitted from the Constitution and developed after it was written. The basic ones are the Bill of Rights followed by seventeen more Amendments; a total of 27. For many years Madison moved through several Virginia political roles. His main position was always as a “federalist at heart.” He campaigned for a strong central government. In 1787 he represented Virginia at the Constitution Convention. In the Virginia Plan he expressed his ideas about forming a threepart federal government - Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. His views would be basic to the writing of the U.S. Constitution. Amazingly, the beginning was controversial. Madison, along

with Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and Patrick Henry, wrote the Federalist Papers, which turned the tide to secure the document’s ratification. In 1789, Madison was elected to the House of Representatives and was instrumental in forming the Bill of Rights. His priorities were, “to ensure that Americans had freedom of speech, were protected against unreasonable searches and seizures and received a speedy and public trial if forced with charges.” After much debate, his proposal was adopted. Madison and Jefferson both opposed Alexander Hamilton and George Washington’s establishing of a Federal Bank and formed their own Party. In 1794 he and Dolley were married and he adopted her son. In 1801, he joined his friend Jefferson’s Presidency as Secretary of State. He was influential in acquiring the Louisiana Purchase. Madison became President in 1808 and faced the War of 1812 with the support of Henry Clay of Kentucky and John Calhoun of South Carolina. He died on June 28, 1836 at his Montpelier estate. After his death his 1834 message, “Advice to My Country,” was released. He wrote,
There it is, the Cinderella story of UMBC. The team did lose their next game to Kansas State, coming close to another upset, but
“The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and be perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened; and the disguised one, as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into Paradise.” Ten years after James Madison had written the Bill of Rights he realized the importance of the First Amendment. He was inspired to place the First Amendment as being “First” by Thomas Jefferson. All ten (10) of them were ratified on December 15, 1791. The text of the First Amendment reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” “It contains forty-five (45) words and encompasses the most basic of American rights: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of assembly, and the right of petition.” Amen. Selah. So be it.

Sister s Gloria Macías Har rison and Mar ta Macías Brown named LEAD Summit IX’s madrinas de honor
loria Macías Harrison and Marta Macías Brown, sisters from San Bernardino who have a long history of contributing to the community, are the LEAD Summit IX’s honorary chairs, or madrinas de honor, in keeping with its theme ¡Viva la Mujer! which celebrates the contributions of women.
The 2018 Latino Education Advocacy Days Summit will take place on Thursday, March 29, at Cal State San Bernardino’s Santos Manuel Student Union, beginning at 8 a.m. The free conference brings together teaching professionals and educators, researchers, academics, scholars, administrators, independent writers and artists, policy and program specialists, students, parents, civic leaders, activists and advocates.

Among their many achievements and decades of work in community rights, education and politics, Harrison and Brown are credited
for helping create and grow the El Chicano newspaper. It was founded in 1968 under the auspices of the University of California, Riverside by a group of community leaders from San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Marta Macías Brown was one of two first editors of the volunteerdriven paper, which served as a voice and educational platform for the Chicano community. Articles focused on social justice, civil rights, school integration and other issues. It became part of the Chicano Press Association, an organization of similar newspapers and newsletters around the country, and served as an organizing tool for voter registration, rallies, meetings and political campaigns.
Gloria Macías Harrison and her husband, Bill Harrison, were active in the Progressive Action League, advocating for equal access to education, housing and employment opportunities. In 1969, El Chicano came under independent ownership with Marta as editor, Gloria as publisher, and Bill as its business manager.
This year, El Chicano, which publishes with nine other community weeklies that make up the family publishing business, Inland Empire Community Newspapers, turns 50, and is already the longest-running, Chicano-owned and-operated publication in state
history.

San Manuel honors exceptional team members during annual event
Amazon visits food bank to help streamline operations to better serve community
T
he San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and San Manuel Casino honored more than 50 exemplary team members at its Employee Recognition Ceremony on March 14th. The annual event celebrates model employees within the tribal government and casino, recognizing honorees for their outstanding contributions to the organization in 2017. The “Midnight in Paris” themed banquet was attended by more than 300 San Manuel Tribal and Casino team members and their guests. The evening included a sit down dinner, live entertainment, and a special program where the honorees received a commemorative award. “Our distinguished honorees are an outstanding example of team work and dedication, their work ethic is invaluable to our tribe’s mission and values,” said Lynn Valbuena, Chairworman of the San Manuel
L
Band of Mission Indians. “We are extremely grateful for their contributions, and are proud to have them as part of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians family.” San Manuel Casino GM Loren Gill added, “Our 2017 honorees have exhibited outstanding service and a commitment to making San Manuel Casino the top entertainment destination in the country for our guests. We appreciate their dedication to our organization and welcomed this opportunity to celebrate their efforts.” San Manuel Casino is preparing to add more than 1,200 permanent jobs over the next two years as part of a hotel and casino expansion project, was recently selected as a “best place to work in the Inland Valley,” and is one of the largest employers in the Inland Empire with more than 4,300 team members across the casino and tribal government.
eaders from Amazon’s San Bernardino and Moreno Valley fulfillment centers delivered something unique to Feeding America of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (FARSBC) on Mar. 14. Instead of the iconic brown boxes with a smile, Amazon visited the food bank to deliver insights and expertise on streamlining operations to maximize resources and improve overall efficiencies for the nonprofit. In October of 2017, Amazon donated $20,000 to FARSBC, which helped provide more than 180,000 meals to families in need. This event is a continuation of that partnership. “The word used to describe today’s exercise to help identify waste and streamline processes is kaizen, and it means change for the better,” said Sumegha Mahankali, general manager at Amazon’s ONT2 fulfillment center.
“We’ve recently started holding these kaizens in our communities so that we can donate not just money or products, but also our skills and expertise to help local food banks and other organizations better serve families in need.” More than 30 Amazon associates from throughout the San Bernardino and Riverside area volunteered at Feeding America, sorting and supporting multiple areas of the operation. “We are incredibly grateful for this partnership with Amazon. To collaborate with them today, and having their volunteer associates join us for a Kaizen event, is a wonderful opportunity,” said Stuart I.R. Haniff, MHA, chief philanthropy officer for FARSBC. “We too embrace continual change and improvement as a way to alleviate hunger throughout the Inland Empire.”
