n January 25, California’s District 47 Assemblymember Eloise Reyes held a campaign kickoff event in Colton on Saturday, Jan. 25. Over 250 elected officials, community members and volunteers attended the event in support of reelecting Reyes for assembly. “The campaign kickoff was an incredible success. When I was first elected into the assembly, I ran on being the voice of the community. We often hear that in our region, our voices are left out. It’s been my pleasure to bring the voices of the 47th district to Sacramento,” said Reyes.

“Teamster Advantage is a program that began in November 2016 to promote local shopping. When residents shop local, it has been proven that our tax dollars can be better recycled, compared to shopping at bigger chains,” said Mario Vasquez, Teamsters Local 1932 Communications Coordinator. A great incentive provided by the program includes great discounts from the participating mom and pop businesses. “If you download the app Teamster Advantage…you will see all of our partners and see all of the businesses around you.

The free app acts as a directory and provides information on local business partners, discounts and directions. “The app has a map feature, we’re everywhere. Our businesses range from the west end and as east to Coachella, to Barstow and Riverside. The program is tailored to the entire Inland Empire,” shared Vasquez. Moving forward, the organization is aiming to continue putting an end to the flood of taxpayer dollars leaving the inland communities.

Since November 2016, Reyes has been behind a large number of bills signed into law, budget proposals to benefit the 47th district and budget wins. “Some bills that we have passed recently are AB 9, which extends the filing period with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) for complaints of workplace harassment. We also signed AB 1666, which requires the California Complete Count – Census 2020 Office to partner with local contracted educational agencies to make specified information about the 2020 federal decennial census available to students and their parents or guardians at schools, as specified,” Reyes said. Reyes has also succeeded in obtaining numerous budgets to improve the quality of life for many constituents in the district and the region. “We garnered $1.3 million for the ongoing preservation of Blue

“I want to continue to empower the community and I will continue to advocate for the community in Sacramento. One of the top issues I will address is warehouses in residential communities. We need to come together and find a way to use technology to reduce emission from diesel trucks. I want our logistics industry to provide more attention to our communities, along with providing sustainable jobs,”

“Standing together is crucial. Working people only win when we stand together. When we shop local and understand that we do not have to shop at Amazon or Walmart, we can make sure our communities grow strong,” continued Vasquez. He also shared that although he is not native to the Inland region, the Teamster Advantage program has assisted him in patronizing businesses and becoming part of a community. “Small business owners recognize that if they promote this message, together we can beat the Walmarts and Amazons of the world. These local business owners provide quality services to the community…but often times are limited to the power of the big businesses,” concluded Vasquez.

In addition, Reyes will continue to work on the district’s human services, which includes addressing the increasing homeless crisis in the district and across the state. “I was born and raised in District 47 and our communities have faced the Great Recession, worsening of air, low wage jobs and the December 2nd terrorist attack. Through numerous challenges, our communities have only gotten stronger,” Reyes said. “First and foremost I want to thank the community for their continued support. When I am here in Sacramento, I know that I have the voice and blessings of the community. I always ask myself, “How does this help District 47? How does this help the community?” concluded Reyes.

For 100 year s, Inland Career Education Center been helping impr ove lives thr ough education, car eer trainig Guest Op-Ed Corina Borsuk, public relations technician and Leticia Villa, principal Inland Career Education Center Nationally, about 2.8 million adults enrolled in for-profit colleges and technical schools during the 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2015 academic year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. For some, the benefits outweigh the large sums of money they pay for just the opportunity to earn a degree or certificate. But for many of the low-income adults who flock to these for-profit schools, the costs continue to mount until they are even deeper in debt. Sadly, most never learn they have other options in the form of adult education. Several years ago, the San Bernardino Adult School embarked on a strategic planning process to raise awareness of adult education and its lifechanging opportunities. As part of that, we changed our name to the Inland Career Education Center (ICEC). Regardless of the name weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used, ICEC has been providing opportunities for career advancement and a better life for 100 years. We offer free and low-cost courses that lead to a high school diploma or GED. According to a report by the Alliance for Excellent Education, a single high school dropout costs a community more than $200,000 in lost tax revenue and higher government spending. Every time ICEC helps a high school dropout earn a diploma or GED, it frees up local government resources for other projects, such as parks and arts programs. For the Fall 2019 session, ICEC also offered business and computer education courses; an apprentice barber program; medical education programs, including Certified Nurse Assistant and Licensed Vocational Nurse certifications; and other programs. While it may seem redundant to offer these types of career programs when other institutions provide similar offerings, ICEC actually fills a gap left by four-year and for-profit colleges. Many public, private, and for-profit colleges have accelerated course schedules for certificate and non-traditional educational programs. For adults who are academically prepared, it can be a great way to achieve their goals quickly. For adults who are not prepared, starting out with diploma or GED courses can be the right choice both academically and financially. Unprepared students are more likely to fail or dropout of college and tech-

nical programs unless they receive strong support from the college. Adult education programs can provide that support for students, both during and prior to entering a degree or certificate program. Many adult education programs allow students to earn a diploma or GED at their own pace. Students are screened prior to entering technical training programs to make sure they are properly prepared to succeed. ICEC never uses the screening process to turn away students, only to direct them to a program where they can be successful and still improve their employment prospects. Additionally, ICEC recognizes that the life circumstances of adult students are often different from the average college-age student. With the need to care for children, pay the rent, and be responsible for lives beyond their own, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for adult students to have support when returning to school. That is why ICEC provides the Parent Education Childcare program. This specialized preschool program for children 2-1/2 to 5 years old allows adult students to attend class three to four days a week while their child receives age-appropriate supervision and education. Parents must attend class with their child one day a week to improve their parenting skills. Parent Education Childcare is a major benefit to the community as it prepares adult students to be successful employees and parents and prepares younger students to be successful in school. Strong, financially stable families will likely need fewer social and financial interventions. Adult education also offers specialized courses that allow a very underserved population to live independently. The Life Skills and Functional Academics program for developmentally delayed adults provides instruction in basic math, literacy, and computer literacy, as well as helps students improve their physical fitness, personal health, and socialization skills. Without programs like these, many developmentally delayed adults would be dependent on family or government for many, if not all, of their daily needs. The majority of for-profit institutions are not equipped to serve this adult student population, but we can and do provide hope for a more fulfilling life for these adult students and their families. The most important aspect of ICEC is that we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about making a profit at any cost. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about making sure our students profit at little cost to themselves.

366 days to wait patiently gals and guys, and think before you leap! It's Leap Year, fellows and girls. Once upon a time I dared to ask a gent I was involved with, deeply loved, and he said "No!" There was no maybe, let's talk about it, just an unequivocal "No!" Well, I learned something then and I've kept on learning ever since. Some men are quite macho, even old fashioned, preferring women who are sub- servient, shy, modest, prideful - as those types of men are, rather than humble, strong, independent. I was reared in a household that stressed humility, and self - control, although we lived in a more upper-class house, neighborhood, and quality of life. Pride was definitely frowned upon by my dad. My mother would forbid any discussion of religion or politics as I grew into the years when those topics became interesting and important. Lots of people dislike those kinds of possibly emotionally provocative subjects, with ideas that may conflict. Also, when a person is inhibited, uninformed, and not the least bit interested in seeking to be more

informed, it makes a reasonable debate virtually impossible. In maturity the boldness I had begun to express has become stronger. I'm a devoted, enlightened, out spoken Christian/ Believer. I'm not afraid to live what I believe and enjoy telling others why I believe as I do. Religious music, other arts of dance, media arts, have lived through generations of admiration and veneration. I think of magnificent paintings and sculptures of artists like Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rubens, ElGreco, 16th and 17th century, whose creations are on display in The Vatican, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts , and other such places around the world. I will never again be "politically correct" although it was required when I was living on a university campus some years ago, as a sorority house director. It was irritating to say the least. Some of my friends were openly "gay" really very loving and caring. They were always suggesting that I

needed to " come out of the closet," which I'd never been in. I grew up quite heterisexually oriented and was not, am not, will not be other than that in my choice of lifestyle, although I have chosen a pure celibacy for many of my 92 years, am sincerely devoted to the Lordship of the Christ who is the Source of any and all the strengths that are in me: physical, emotional, intellectual, and most importantly spiritual strength and giftedness . I believe all things are possible with God. I live " under His wings" and lift up my loved ones in the revealed, awesome realm of the Holy Spirit daily. We are a remarkably blessed family, suffer through our human adversities and overcome them. God is Good always, because of all His pure, sinless Son, - our Jesus- has done. You might want to take a "leap of faith, " and I would be delighted to support you in that Spirit, spiritually. Be happy, healthy, loved and loving. Happy New Leap Year. ElmaMae Henderson Highland

Ar e fossil fuels an ethical investment? Saudi oil giant Aramco -- the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most profitable company -- issued its first public offering in December. The IPO has reenergized debate around whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethical to invest in oil and natural gas companies. Green activists say no. Their organizations have worked for several years to encourage companies and individuals to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;divestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from fossil fuel-producing companies. As green site Go Fossil Free puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Divestment is the opposite of an investment -- it simply means getting rid of stocks, bonds, or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Divestment efforts have gained some ground. In September the University of California system divested its $150 million in fossil fuel assets. And the European Investment Bank, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lending armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

of the European Union, recently announced, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We will stop financing fossil fuels and we will launch the most ambitious climate investment strategy of any public financial institution anywhere.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To be clear, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a political decision. But is it an ethical one? Not if we consider the economic, environmental, and national security value fossil fuels afford. First, fossil fuel companies provide millions of high-paying jobs - and not just for C-suiters, as liberal activists claim. The average salary in the U.S. oil and gas industry was about $102,000 -- nearly twice the national average. These salaries ranged from $78,000 for pipeline workers to $162,000 for those working in oil and gas extraction. Second, capital investments that funded the fracking boom have

made natural gas the most abundant and affordable energy source for electricity generation -- and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Natural gas releases about half as much carbon dioxide as coal, and about two-thirds that of gasoline and heating oil. Transitioning to natural gas is one of the primary reasons U.S. energy-related carbon emissions declined from roughly 6,000 million metric tons a decade ago to about 5,000 today -- even with more people and a larger economy. If companies and individuals invest in natural gas and oil, gas supplies will remain plentiful and prices will remain low. The use of coal and other carbon-intensive fossil fuels will likely decline even more. The truth is green activistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; renewable energy dreams are unrealistic. We are a long way from wind and solar power being able to supply most of a developed economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy needs. Investment managers have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize the investments they oversee. They have no obligation to invest in fossil fuels, but they also should not be barred from investing if oil and gas companies look like good investments. America has become the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading energy producer. That fact has improved both our lives and our economy. Investing in the companies that make prosperity and national security possible isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just ethical, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commendable.

Global leader and entrepreneur, Janice Br yant Howroyd, deliver s powerful speech at CSUSB prise as the first black woman to own and operate a billion-dollar company. She was BET’s firstever BET Honors Entrepreneur of the Year and has received Black Enterprise’s Business of the Year award. In 2013, she was appointed a USA Ambassador of Energy at the White House. In May 2016 she received a key presidential appointment by President Barack Obama as a member of the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. In 2017, Howroyd was appointed to the Federal Communications Commission’s Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment (ACDDE). PHOTO CSUSB

CSUSB alumna Paulette Brown-Hinds (left) and global leader and entrepreneur, Janice Bryant Howroyd, at the Santos Manuel Student Union on Jan. 30.

otivated by her family, and particularly her husband, Janice Bryant Howroyd, businesswoman, educator and one of America’s most successful female entrepreneurs, talked to an audience at Cal State San Bernardino about the importance of gratitude of those around you and the balance needed in one’s life, which she says cannot be done alone. “Balance isn’t levered by you alone,” Howroyd said on Jan. 30 in the university’s Santos Manuel Student Union. “You got to be thoughtful that somebody else is winning along with you.” And one of those people in her life is her husband, Bernie, who may be in the sixth of seven phases of Alzheimer’s disease, but is “very present in her heart and her spirit.” “My husband, Bernie Howroyd, has loved me well for over 41 years. He has supported everything I’ve ever wanted to do,” she said of her husband.

Howroyd offered life advice and suggestions for success, which can be found in her newest book “Acting Up: Winning in Business and Life Using Down-Home Wisdom.” In particular, she highlighted the importance of practicing gratitude, repeating daily affirmations and creating vision boards. “What my mind conceives and believes, I achieve,” she firmly said, and then had the whole audience repeat in unison. “If you do not believe you can achieve it, you are reckoning it as illegal to your life. Allow yourself the freedom of your fullest dreams coming true.”

the key one amongst them is bringing joy to what you do.” After her talk, which was moderated by CSUSB alumna Paulette Brown-Hinds, ’90, founder of Voice Media Ventures and the second-generation publisher of The Black Voice News, Howroyd met with audience members for a book signing. The event was sponsored by CSUSB’s Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration.

Howroyd also highlighted the fact that you can have it all, but you don’t get it all at once – life does not happen in 30-second soundbites like you see on social media, she said. One must work hard and keep a healthy balance.

Howroyd is the founder and chief executive officer of the ActOne Group, a global leader providing customized cutting-edge solutions in the human resources industry. The ActOne Group is a multi-billion-dollar (USD) awardwinning, international Talent and Talent Technology enterprise with multiple divisions that each service unique areas of employment and provide talent management solutions.

“Balance is not 50/50. Balance is reaching your 100,” she said. “And you do that based on some certain principles you employ and

She is also the author of “The Art of Work.” Howroyd has invested millions of dollars in creating the industry’s most advanced technology and tal-

ent platform serving the everchanging utility, energy and broadband communication space. Her vision, as an industry leader, is fostering connectivity between these sectors giving competitive advantage to clients engaged in cyclical markets. Her understanding of global market demographics and trends has made her a highly sought-after ambassador, speaker and commentator on global business issues. In the hallway of her headquarters hangs a painting inspired by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown vs. the Board of Education, which outlawed school segregation, because, she says, “I’m a product of that energy.” Her mantra is “Never compromise who you are personally to become who you wish to be professionally.”

Making Hope Ha ppen Fou ndation complet es development assessment pen Foundation’s Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Their feedback provided insight to help organization’s leadership continue to develop and advance the Foundation.

n January 9th the Making Hope Happen Foundation held its first meeting of the decade celebrating the positive results of an expert assessment of its resource development systems and processes. With the Foundation approaching its 5-year mark, the Board of Directors sought to review progress for the organization to date and applied to the Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) for help to secure resources needed to bring in an expert set of eyes. Thanks to IECF’s willingness to support capacity building efforts of local nonprofits, the Making Hope Happen Foundation was able to hire Michelle Whiting & Associates (MWA) to conduct a development assessment. In November 2019, MWA reviewed Foundation’s processes

“Our excellent volunteer and staff leadership created the environment prime for growth,” said Dr. Samuel Gibbs, President of the Making Hope Happen Foundation. “We are excited about what’s in store for 2020”. and procedures related to resource development and made recommendations about how the organization could improve. Their assessment included a detailed look at the Foundation’s leadership, policies, recognition systems, donor communication processes, reporting methods, and more. In addition to reviewing volumes of documentation, Michelle Whiting, and her associate Laura Hardy, conducted more than a dozen in-depth interviews with Board Members, Donors and Staff of the Foundation. “This was one of the easiest assessments MW&A has done because the Making Hope Happen Foundation is doing such an amazing job!” said Michelle Whiting. MWA presented their findings and recommendations to a joint session of the Making Hope Hap-

This year, the Making Hope Happen Foundation will continue its work to help the youth of San Bernardino learn better, dream bigger and achieve more through its programming and partnerships. Its work includes teaching parents how to prepare their infants and toddlers for future success in school, investing in innovative educational programs occurring in local schools, helping local high school graduates succeed in college, and convening stakeholders to uplift the City of San Bernardino. Donors and their contributions make this work possible. The development assessment offered important advice for how to engage more people and partners in these efforts. The Making Hope Happen Foundation supports the educational mission of the San Bernardino City Unified School District which has embraced the power of hope as a primary driver of personal motivation and com-

munity change. Making Hope Happen Foundation engages people, builds partnerships, provides leadership, and delivers resources where they are needed to achieve a thriving and innovative commu-

nity in which every student is a life-long learner and can be successful in meeting their hopes and aspirations. For more information, please visit www.MakingHope.org.

Deadl y citr us tr ee disease detected in Colton

Yellowing of the leaves, above, and twisted leaves, below, are symptoms of the incurable plant disease called Huanglongbing (HLB) that infects al types of citrus trees. Three residential trees in Colton were recently detected to be infested.

he incurable plant disease called Huanglongbing (HLB) that infects and kills all types of citrus trees has recently been detected in three residential citrus trees in Colton. This detection comes after the firstever HLB-infected tree for San Bernardino County was discovered in Montclair in late November.

HLB has no cure and is spread by a small pest called the Asian citrus psyllid as it feeds on leaves and stems of citrus trees. HLB is not harmful to humans or animals, but once a tree is infected, it will die and must be removed. To protect the spread of HLB, a quarantine is issued throughout portions of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The detection in Colton expanded the HLB quarantine in San Bernardino and Riverside counties by 51 square miles, creating a contiguous 1,275-squaremile quarantine area and will now include the cities of Redlands and Loma Linda. It is illegal to bring citrus fruit or plant material into California from other states or countries, and to move it out of quarantine areas, as doing so could unknowingly spread the Asian citrus psyllid. If citrus is consumed on the property, be sure to thoroughly wash the citrus fruit and remove citrus leaves and stems. It is important to dry citrus tree clippings or dou-

ble bag them before moving or disposing citrus plant material.

California homeowners – 60 percent of whom own citrus trees – play an important role in protecting citrus in our state and are being asked to protect their backyard trees by searching for signs of the pest and disease. To protect citrus trees in Colton, residents should: • Proactively inspect citrus trees for Huanglongbing (HLB) monthly, and whenever watering, spraying, pruning or tending to trees.

-Symptoms of HLB include asymmetrical blotchy and yellowing leaves, premature and excessive fruit drop, lopsided fruit, and bitter, inedible fruit. -Call the state’s pest hotline at 800-491-1899 if disease symptoms are seen on the tree.

• Refrain from moving citrus plants, foliage or fruit off your

property, as doing this may unknowingly spread the pest. If citrus is consumed on the property, be sure to thoroughly wash the citrus fruit and remove citrus leaves and stems. It is important to dry citrus tree clippings or double bag them before moving or disposing citrus plant material. • Visit californiacitrusthreat.org for more information on the Asian citrus psyllid and HLB.

BUSINESS & SERVICES

• Cooperate with agriculture officials who may ask to inspect or treat the citrus tree. As part of tree maintenance, visit a local nursery or garden center to get advice on products that can help protect citrus trees from the Asian citrus psyllid. Recommendations on managing the Asian citrus psyllid can be found by visiting the University of Cali-

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

State Superintendent Tony Thur mond announces applications for summer meal prog rams ically challenged communities would not be possible if organizations did not apply. The more agencies we have, the more kids we can serve.” Summer meal sites are located in communities where at least 50 percent of the children quality for free or reduced-price school meals. Programs delivered through K–12 schools such as school nutrition are not subject to the public charge rule. SFSP and SSO are not considered public benefits that could impact an individual’s immigration status. All meals meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition requirements, and no paperwork or personal information is required for children to participate.

Organizations are able to apply for the federally funded, state-administered programs now. Pictured are students participating in the program from the Colton Joint Unified School District.

tate Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced Friday, Jan. 31 that applications are available for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless Summer Option (SSO), both federally funded, state-administered programs that serve free meals to children eighteen and younger when school is out of session. “Food insecurity is a daily struggle for some of our students and their families and that struggle can

become even more critical during the summer months,” said Thurmond. “Summer Meal Programs provide children in poverty with the nutritious meals necessary to help them strive physically and mentally. A child who is not distracted by hunger is a child ready to learn.” According to the California Association of Food Banks, 85 percent of children who benefit from the federally funded free or reduced-price lunches during the school year miss similar lunch

programs available during the summer. Every summer, 17 of 20 low-income students fall into the summer nutrition gap. In 2019, the Summer Meals Programs served over 14 million meals at close to five thousand sites throughout the state.

Organizations eligible to participate in Summer Meal Programs include schools, camps, nonprofits, tribal governments, and government agencies. Applications are due by May 15, 2020. For more information about Summer Meal Programs, visit the California Department of Education Summer Meal Programs web page. If your agency is interested in becoming a sponsor or hosting a meal site, contact the Summer Meals Unit at 1-800-952-5609 or sfsp@cde.ca.gov. If your organization is not able to provide meal services, please consider promoting Summer Meal Sites in your community. You can locate meal sites on the Summer Meal Service Site web page.

Social Justice Summit featur es speaker who helped ignite Time’s Up movement

Cal State San Bernardino’s annual Social Justice Summit, hosted by the Office of Student Engagement, will feature Mónica Ramírez, who helped ignite Time’s Up, a movement against sexual harassment in the work“This type of effort could not place. exist if it weren’t for the sponsors.” said Thurmond. “Last year, close to 600 agencies participated. With the theme “Vision 2020: The ability to feed kids throughout Through a Local Lens,” the event the state, in multiple locations, will take place Friday, Feb. 7, and in some of the most econom- from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (check-in begins at 9 a.m.) in the Santos Manuel Student Union Events Center.

States,” the letter says. “For the past several weeks we have watched and listened with sadness as we have learned of the actors, models and other individuals who have come forward to speak out about the gender-based violence they’ve experienced at the hands of bosses, coworkers and other powerful people in the entertainment industry. We wish that we could say we’re shocked to learn that this is such a pervasive problem in your industry. Sadly, we’re not surprised because it’s a reality we know far too well.”

Ramírez is an activist, author, civil rights attorney, social entrepreneur and speaker, who helped spark the Time’s Up movement through a “Dear Sisters” letter published in Time Magazine.

During her talk, Ramírez will discuss strategies for fighting gender-based sexual harassment and achieving gender equity across industries. In addition to the keynote speaker, the summit will feature interactive breakout sessions and engaging activities to help attendees learn more about social justice issues, develop an understating of social justice when it comes to civic engagement, and how to have these conversations with others.

When Ramírez was board president of the Alianza Nacional de Campesinas (the National Farmworker Women’s Alliance), which she co-founded, she wrote a letter on behalf of Alianza members to lend support and solidarity to the women and men in Hollywood who came forward with their experiences of sexual harassment and assault in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The letter went viral and helped spark Time’s Up, in which Ramírez remains an active member. In 2018, Ramírez attended the 75th Golden Globe Awards as a guest of Laura Dern.
