n Saturday, November 7, the North End Neighborhood Association (NENA) held a neighborhood clean-up day. On a cold and cloudy morning several NENA residents along with the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) Explorer Unit, Citizens Patrol Unit, and several members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) met at the corner of Valencia and Marshall by the Arrowhead Country Club.

The all-volunteer event was organized by NENA Vice President Deana Cervantez.

Deana provided gloves, trash bags, trash grabber tools and other items to the various teams.

The teams were distributed throughout the neighborhood to pick up trash, cut weeds, and pick up fallen tree branches. About an hour after the teams reached their designated areas, heavy rains Cam, cont. on next pg.

The Ballroom Dancing lifestyle is important to many of the senior dancers. It not only provides them with exercise and coordination, but there are many other benefits to dance. A dancer learns to be a leader or a successful follower, it develops emotional intelligence, builds confidence, and one can learn to be authentic in that one cannot fake to be a dancer.

The Inland Empire Senior Dance Gathering meets every Tuesday at the Highland Senior Center from 2 to 4 p.m. The cost is only $4 per person, but tipping the band is strongly encouraged.

Because of COVID-19, the number of dance participants is limited. Bring your own mask, gloves, drinks, and snacks! For more information call 951-4709559.

Herman and Paula Schuemann from Rialto met on the dance floor several years ago.

Cam started to pour upon the neighborhood, causing all the teams to return to the designated meeting area. However, the teams were able to collect 13 bags of trash, and plans to return at a future date were discussed with a clean-up day being planned every quarter.

SBPD Sergeant John Echevarria led the team of a dozen Police Ex-

plorer Scouts, who are being taught that community services are a large part of being a good citizen and Law Enforcement partner.

Cervantez said that the Explorers were an amazing group of kids and an asset to the community.

“These kids would rather be helping the community than being with their friends. They will be our future leaders.”

Aguilar announces over $5 million for Inland Empire emergency housing programs

R

ep. Pete Aguilar recently announced that the City of San Bernardino received $3,422,960 and the City of Fontana received $1,723,436 in Emergency Services Grant (ESG) funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help provide emergency housing services during the coronavirus crisis. These funds were made available by the CARES Act, which Congressman Aguilar helped pass on March 27, 2020.

“Right now, families in our communities need relief. These grant funds will go a long way toward making sure more Inland Empire residents who are struggling have a roof over their heads and a safe place to call home. I was proud to support this funding for our community, and I’ll continue to fight for additional resources to help support San Bernardino County residents during this crisis,” said Aguilar.

“The City of San Bernardino re-

The City is pleased to receive these dollars to be able to prioritize the unique needs of low- and moderate-income persons and the possible development of partnerships between all levels of government and the private for-profit and non-profit sectors.

he San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District took major action last week to restore lost water supplies and ensure the long-term reliability of the Inland Empire’s imported water supplies. Valley District’s board of directors voted unanimously to commit to pay 2.8 percent of the costs of building the Delta Conveyance Project, a tunnel that will reliably carry drinking water beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

The 2.8 percent commitment translates into about $9 million in planning and permitting costs for Valley District over the next four

“We are taking decisive action to restore some of our lost imported water supplies and to modernize the delivery system,” stated Valley District President T. Milford Harrison, adding, “Investing in the Delta Conveyance Project will help us overcome threats to longterm reliability such as sea level rise and earthquakes.”

Valley District is legally entitled to import up to 102,000 acre-feet of State Water Project water each year. Imported water from Northern California accounts for about one- fourth of Valley District’s water supplies, which it stores in local groundwater basins or delivers to its 14 retail water agency customers.

This virtual summit is hosted by the University of Redlands and will bring together industry experts and University of Redlands School of Business faculty to reflect on what we’ve seen and learned from the social and economic challenges of 2020 and what to expect as we look to 2021.

The day of insights, ideas, and key learnings will include more than 12 different sessions covering everything from diversity, equity, and inclusion to work in a post-COVID19 world.

“Nothing about business in 2020 was business as usual,” said Thomas Horan, dean of the University of Redlands School of

Business. “With the pandemic, social and political unrest, and economic upheaval, 2020 was a turbulent year for many. We hope to share observations, examples of success stories, and helpful information that will be insightful for business professionals and the general public as we look to what the future holds.”

The day will include sessions with outside experts, business leaders, authors, and researchers including: • Tom Horan, Dean, University of Redlands School of Business – The New-Normal of Business in a Changing World • Shindale Seale, CEO, SEADE Coaching & Consulting – Making Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Today’s Business World an Imperative • Rob Harris, Chairman and

In March, Rep. Aguilar helped pass the CARES Act, legislation to provide resources to help communities like the Inland Empire navigate the coronavirus crisis.

Since then, the House has passed the Heroes Act and updated Heroes Act to extend and expand key relief programs. Rep. Aguilar serves as Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee and is a member of the subcommittee that oversees HUD funding.

San Joaquin Delta over the past 13 years have reduced the amount of State Water Project delivered to Southern California water agencies by up to 1 million acre-feet per year. These court orders and regulations have reduced Valley District’s ability to import water by about 18 percent, or roughly 18,000 acre-feet. That’s enough water to satisfy the annual water needs of about 72,000 people.

flowed into the San Francisco Bay, farmers took over the Delta in the 1870s and built 1,100 miles of levees to hold back the water in many areas so that they could convert much of the Delta area into farmland. The Delta is also the transit point where fresh water from Northern California’s rivers flows into aqueducts that transport the water to Central and Southern California.

“The Delta Conveyance Project essentially eliminates our impacts on endangered fish, which eliminates the losses associated with delivering our water through the Delta,” said Bob Tincher, Valley District’s chief water resources officer and deputy general manager.

In recent years, various plans have been proposed to protect State Water Project water from salt water contamination that could result from crumbling levees as well as rising sea levels resulting from climate change. State officials see the Delta Conveyance Project as the best option to protect State Water Project water from salt water contamination as it is transported through the Delta.

The Delta Conveyance Project will also ensure the long-term reliability of Valley District’s imported State Water Project supplies, which currently flow through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

The Delta is the most vulnerable area of the entire State Water Project because it is comprised of century-old levees that could collapse in the event of an earthquake and allow salt water to contaminate State Water Project water.

“Because we depend on imported State Water Project water for a fourth of our water supply we can’t afford not to protect the significant investments we’ve made in developing this supplemental water supply from Northern California,” added Tincher.

The Delta Conveyance Project is expected to cost about $16 billion with construction expected to begin in 2024 and extend to about 2034.

Why do we take to the streets?

We Americans are quick to take our disagreements to the streets. In 2020, we have claimed many causes to do so. Millions came out to protest police violence and “resist” fascism. Others “rallied” against COVID-19 lockdowns and voter fraud. We may amass crowds to evoke sympathy or provoke debate. But demonstrations aggravate and intimidate, often drawing counter protesters if not ending in violence. And even when gatherings generate debate, we are tempted to settle them by who had the larger crowd size rather than the merits of the case.

So, what’s the value of taking to the streets? Many take the question as defending the status quo rather than challenging it. British-born philosopher Os Guinness helps us see it as a challenge in his 2018 book, Last Call for Liberty. For him, “the streets” are synonymous with the ever-present danger of supposing we can force our vision of freedom onto others. He contends that this is what soured the notoriously bloody French Revolution of 1789 and its spiritual successors.

And he fears that America is at risk as we are forgetting the different vision that our country was founded upon and improved by.

ing the book of Exodus as a divine example for human government. It’s not a prescription for hierarchy or a contract for loosely affiliated individuals, but a “pattern for liberation” applying to a whole people. That pattern is discerned in the Sinai wilderness, after God leads Israel out of Egypt. In the course of taking up their covenant with God, the Jewish people utter three separate times and unanimously, “All that the LORD has spoken, we will do.” Guinness sees this sequence as marking covenants with three features: they are freely chosen, they constitute a “morally binding pledge,” and they entail a “reciprocal responsibility of all for all.”

With these qualities in mind, we see that covenant is thicker than contract. Whereas contracts have escape clauses, the parties of covenant are stuck with each other. One party can’t just banish or subjugate another if stubborn differences arise. Rather, each is bound to exercise with the other the patience and self-restraint appropriate to equal partners. If Guinness correctly distinguishes between the visions of 1776 and 1789, then keeping our liberty To show the flaw of the vision of depends on retrieving, develop1789, Guinness taps French ing, and exercising the covenant philosopher Jean Jacques virtues of 1776.

A solution to gifts that nobody needs or wants

Let’s be real. Buying for others is difficult. And stressful. Ah, the gifts. Let the shopping frenzy begin. Purchasing gifts that someday will be regifted to others in the original box. And eventually these unused items will end up in a thrift store or spend eternity in a landfill.

Think about the gifts of Christmas past that you didn’t need or want. You appreciated the sentiment behind the gift and thanked the giver, but that was one ugly sweater. Ugh. I’ll pass on Snoop Dogg’s new cookbook. “From Crook to Cook” serves only to take more of your hard-earned paycheck. I don’t want to see this recipe of disasters under my tree. Sorry Snoop. Don’t feel badly. I don’t want to deck my halls with Martha Stewart’s goofy goodies either.

Toaster Grilled Cheese Bags are not for me. Too cheesy of a gift.

Wah-wah.

Herbal Warming Slippers sound too Zen for me. I like toasty toes as well as the next gal, but fuzzy socks are my favorite.

Why do individuals engage in zany buying rituals? You purchase gifts and put the receipts in the boxes so family members and friends can return the items after the holidays—so everybody wastes time standing in long lines.

Spread that festive misery!

What about gag gifts? That works for some families, while others haggle over the amount everyone has to abide by.

The 2020 Pooping Pooches White Elephant Gag Gift Calendar

is funny and gross. But at $16.99, that’s an expensive laugh.

The Potty Putter Toilet Time Golf Game may interfere with bowels movements, so please don’t bring this to a passing party.

In case both conservatives and liberals attend the office party, avoid the Donald Trump Stretchy Keychain and the Hillary Clinton Novelty Toilet Paper as gag gifts.

Not everyone loves political humor.

What about the White Elephant idea? Each guest brings a wrapped used item. You do get rid of something you don’t want, but you usually get something else you don’t want.

Gift cards can be stuck in your purse or wallet and easily forgotten. I’ve got several of these with a small balance leftover—that I forget to use.

It’s so wrong to donate money to a charity on behalf of a loved one.

And then give them a card that explains how wild boars are suffering. They will call you a Grinch behind your back or a dopey dogooder in front of your face.

Homemade holiday foods are yummy, but it takes time and effort to prepare and package. Hug and thank the person who still bakes.

A professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, released his book “Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn’t Buy Presents for the Holidays.” Of course, retailers disagree with a passion for peddling their products.

Our environment does not like the holidays. Boxes, bows, bags,

and wrapping paper increase the colossal pile of stuff in garbage dumps.

What about gifts for children?

Cheap and flashy plastic junk made to look like toys fill playrooms. A giant mountain of toys can overwhelm kids. Too many sparkling presents under the tree does not teach creativity or gratitude. According to a 2018 study in the journal Infant Behavior and Development, an environment with fewer toys is better for kids.

Less toys resulted in healthier play and deeper cognitive development. So, tame that toy overload.

And spent winter playing outside in the snow.

Creative building with Legos is fun, but a bazillion of them in every corner, drawer, and closet produces chaos. Teens do not need the latest technology upgrades.

Each Christmas brings a boatload of TV commercials for the newest must-have toys or gadgets.

Gimme. Gimme. Gimme. Just because a toy is a bargain at a thrift store, doesn’t mean you have to buy it. Credit card debt does not make a merry Christmas.

Downsize the gifts and spend money on holiday concerts and outings. Offer fun family experiences instead of bookoo toys and electronic gadgets.

So… did you get everything you wanted? Stop asking that question to kids after gifts are opened. Our culture has run amuck on material possessions and instant gratification.

What’s the solution? Give the gift of green. Cash. What better way to stimulate the economy than givers and receivers spending their dollars after Christmas? Ask your children to pick what two affordable toys they want. Parents can select and buy one of the toys to offer a surprise on Christmas morning. Grandparents can purchase the other item.

Many families try to find balance between over-commercializedeverything, fostering greed, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Can pretend Santa be too generous with gift-giving?

“The Christmas Heart": "Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years...

Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.”—George Matthew Adams

ommunity Action Partnership of San Bernardino County (CAPSBC) held its Annual Turkey Giveaway event on November 21, 2020 at San Bernardino Valley College. Approximately 2,000 families participated in the event and received free turkeys and food boxes containing essential food items to prepare a special home cooked Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.

Many people look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday as a time to see family and eat some of their favorite foods. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we celebrate our favorite holidays, and now there is an alarming increase in the number of individuals facing economic hardships due to job loss or reduced hours at their jobs. This is where Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County steps in to help make the Thanksgiving holiday more special for local San Bernardino County families.

"Our Annual Turkey Giveaway event was a great success due to the generosity and outpouring support we have received from corporate sponsors, volunteers and our community members. Although this has been a difficult year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all of its related challenges, we remain strongly committed to making a difference in the communities we serve. This event is so important to our organization because we understand the struggle families face every day to put food on the table. In the spirit of the holiday season, we are delighted to be able to provide essential food resources to so many families to share with their loved ones. We wish everyone a safe and wonderful holiday season!", stated Patricia Nickols-Butler, President & CEO of Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County.

The Annual Turkey Giveaway event was held in collaboration with Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy and San

Bernardino Valley College. Additionally, CAPSBC would like to thank the following corporate sponsors for their continued support which allows the agency to be able to procure vital resources to help the low-income residents facing food insecurity in San Bernardino County.

Special "Thank You" to Edison International, Inland Empire Health Plan, SoCalGas, Health Net, Union Bank, Converge One, and Citizens Business Bank. Their generous contributions allow CAPSBC to continue helping the most vulnerable populations as part of the agency's COVID-19 response to alleviate the surging food insecurity.

Since March 2020, the agency's Food Bank Program has provided food assistance to over 303,662 households totaling over 1,401,753 individuals. CAPSBC has distributed over 12,600,552 pounds of food since March 2020 as part of its COVID-19 response.

California Tribes revise traditional pre-colonization trade system

D

to produce new business opportunities, rebuild economies

uring the past a decade, the Yurok Tribe and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians have enjoyed a genuinely unique, reciprocal government-to-government relationship, despite the immense geographical distance between the tribal nations.

The two tribes, located at the far northern and southern ends of California, have forged a partnership on a wide variety of undertakings, ranging from public health projects to cultural exchanges. When a major natural disaster hit the Yurok Reservation in 2020 San Manuel sent the Yurok Tribe funding to address the emergency.

During the past two decades, Yurok leaders joined San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in advocating for California schools to teach factual, representative accounts of California Indian history and culture through the California Indian Cultural Awareness Conference hosted by Cal State San Bernardino.

The tribal governments also recently incorporated intertribal

commerce into their longstanding, nation- to-nation relationship. As a result of a newly completed agreement, patrons of San Manuel Casino, Southern California’s most thrilling casino, are now served high-quality, sustainably produced ales from the Yurok Tribe’s Mad River Brewing Company — one of the first tribally owned breweries in the U.S. “We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to do business with one of the most successful tribes in the nation,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “Our unparalleled partnership is a prime example of how tribes can lift each other up in the 21st century. The Yurok Tribe and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians couldn’t have a closer relationship even though we are 1,000 miles apart.”

“Workable intertribal trade can be a powerful expression of our sovereignty and our right to determine our own destiny,” said San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Chairman Ken Ramirez. “Tribe to tribe commerce is the future. The

Yurok Tribe and San Manuel Band of Mission Indians are carving out possibilities and opportunities toward the restoration of economic resilience in our respective communities.”

The Yurok Tribe, California’s largest tribal nation, resides in one of the most economically disadvantaged and rural parts of the state. Due to a number of factors, including historical trauma, loss of land and detrimental federal policies, the unemployment rate on the Yurok Reservation is greater than 30 percent. The median family income is $28,300, which is less than half of the national average.

Bank of America Awards Riverside City College $1 million for jobs initiative

R

iverside City College (RCC) and Bank of America recently announced a new $1 million jobs initiative partnership to help students of color successfully complete the education and training necessary to enter the workforce and embark on their path to success in Southern California. This grant is part of Bank of America’s ongoing work in the region to address the underlying issues facing individuals and communities of color who have been disproportionately impacted by the current health crisis.

“We remain committed to helping address the barriers to sustainable employment that exist for many communities of color,” said Bank of America Inland Empire market president Al Argüello.

“This program helps support Black and Hispanic-Latino students by creating a collaborative approach to job training that will enable them to make a real and meaningful impact in their communities now and over the years

ahead.”

“This generous grant from the Bank of America reflects our long-standing partnership, united as we are in providing opportunity to students and strengthening the regional economy,” RCC President Gregory Anderson said.

“This gift will streamline pathways to academic and career success, particularly for students of color.”

This year, the bank also provided nearly $420,000 in grants to Inland Empire nonprofits that are connecting individuals to skills and employment in the region.

The initiative is part of the bank’s recent $1 billion, four-year commitment to advance racial equality and economic opportunity, which includes a $25 million commitment to enhance up-skilling and reskilling for Black and HispanicLatino individuals.

"Bank of America is bringing balance to a serious issue – a sys-

temic decline in funding and attention to our community colleges. Riverside City College is vital to providing the advanced training needed by students to adjust new economic realities," said Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey.

“Companies like Bank of America clearly recognize that investment in our educational institutions translates into a higher number of individuals completing their coursework and securing higherpaying jobs."

and programmatic assistance and to share best practices.

Today, less than 40 percent of community college students earn a certificate or degree within six years of enrollment. For students of color, graduation and completion rates are particularly low – 28.8 percent for Black students and 37.1 percent for Hispanic students. Although HBCUs and HSIs are a mix of public and private institutions, the ongoing challenges brought on by the coronavirus, have exacerbated their financial struggle as they seek to serve students from the most vulnerable communities.

Including Riverside City and Los Angeles Trade Tech colleges, the $25 million, nationwide initiative partners with nearly two dozen community colleges that serve predominately Black and His- With the support of Bank of panic-Latino students, public His- America, RCC will strengthen its torically Black Colleges and existing pathways that maximize Universities (HBCUs) and public opportunity for many more stuHispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Bank of America is also partnering with and providing funding to the Aspen Institute to convene the participating higher education institutions for technical

dents to achieve their academic and career goals. Programs and curricula will provide skills, certificates, and degrees that lead to high-demand family-sustaining jobs, with a particular emphasis on careers in health care. This funding will also create new systems for tracking and creating networks with graduates and employers.

“As the Executive Director of Critical Care at Riverside University Health Systems, I have had the ability to get to know and see the excellent Registered Nurses who received their training in RCC’s School of Nursing,” said Chief Nursing Officer Leah Patterson. “In my new role, I look forward to many more years of getting to know and work with this program.”

Cold-parenting linked to premature aging, increased disease risk in offspring

N

ew research out of Loma Linda University Health suggests that unsupportive parenting styles may have several negative health implications for children, even into theirTelomere adult years.

The study found that the telomeres — protective caps on the ends of the strands of DNA — of subjects who considered their mothers' parenting style as “cold” were on average 25% smaller compared to those who reported having a mother whose parenting style they considered “warm.”

Research has found that earlylife stress is associated with shorter telomeres, a measurable biomarker of accelerated cellular aging and increased disease risk later in life.

“Telomeres have been called a genetic clock, but we now know that as early life stress increases, telomeres shorten and the risk of a host of diseases increases, as well as premature death,” said Raymond Knutsen, MD, MPH, lead author of the study and associate professor at Loma Linda University School of Public Health. “We know that each time a cell divides, the telomeres shorten, which shortens its lifespan.”

Interestingly, mutations in genes maintaining telomeres cause a group of rare diseases resembling premature aging. “However, we

know that some cells in the body produce an enzyme called telomerase, which can rebuild these telomeres,” Knutsen said.

Released earlier this month, the study, "Cold parenting is associated with cellular aging in offspring: A retrospective study," uses data from 200 subjects who participated in two prospective cohort studies of Seventh-day Adventist men and women: the Adventist Health Study-1 (AHS1) with 34,000 Californians in 1976 and AHS-2 with 96,000 subjects from the United States and Canada in 2002-2007.

The research takes a closer look at the impact parenting style has on telomere succession. “The way someone is raised seems to tell a story that is intertwined with their genetics,” Knutsen said.

The study also examined the impact education and body mass index (BMI) may have on the association between cold parenting and telomere length.

“The association with parenting style was greatest among those with less education, and those who stayed overweight/obese or put on weight during follow-up, suggesting both higher education and normal BMI may provide some resilience against cold parenting and cellular aging,” the study stated.
